Chapter 47 Chapter Forty-Six

The night was so dark that Zhou's family village was dunked into the bottom of the pot.A few meteors fell in the distance in a panic, probably injured by the stray bullet just now.Zhou Lide stood on the wall of the village, looking anxiously at the outside of the village.Outside the village was lumps of darkness, and nothing could be seen clearly.But he knew that there must be a crisis hidden in the darkness, which could erupt at any time.The night in late autumn is very cool, and the westerly wind blows across the crenel, making a low roar, like a wild animal roaring impatiently.On such a cold day, Zhou Lide was sweating profusely.

He didn't understand the situation outside, and he didn't dare to rush out.He knew that Liu Fenglin must have assembled his troops, and he was outnumbered when he went out.What if his second brother doesn't go out?He can't help it. Although the village has become silent now, so quiet that even the blinking of the stars can be heard, Zhou Lide understands that the silence is only temporary.Liu Fenglin now has soldiers and hostages in his hands. Will he take advantage of such a favorable situation?This bastard will not let it go.He just didn't know how Liu Fenglin played his cards.This is the most excruciating.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Lide was anxious, a shout came from outside the village, "Light the torches!"Dozens of torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the outside of the moat.Zhou Lide was taken aback, he was condescending, he could see the scene clearly: hundreds of soldiers aimed their guns at the front, and there was a man kneeling beside the moat more than ten steps ahead of them, facing the moat, his body was almost suspended in the air , as long as you fall down, you will plunge into the moat. This person is Zhou Ligong! At this time Zhou Lide heard Liu Fenglin's voice, and he shouted, Zhou Lide, listen carefully, your second brother has two grenades tied to his body, and the fuse is in my hand.I'll trade your second brother for food, will you do it?Liu Fenglin hid behind the big locust tree, he was afraid of Zhou Lide's sharp gun.

Brother, save me!Zhou Ligong cried and cried. Commander Liu, wait a minute, I'll call my father, the food belongs to my father.Zhou Lide responded.He can't force it now, the card is in Liu Fenglin's hands.He can only try to delay the time and look for opportunities to solve the problem. Soon Zhou Kewen came to the wall of the village, and Zhou Liang also followed.The old woman burst into tears when she saw the situation.The old man made a loud noise, why are you crying? It makes people look down on us! Zhou Kewen coughed majestically, and asked below, Liu Fenglin, what are you doing?

Liu Fenglin shouted from behind the tree, Mrs. Zhou, let's make a deal. Zhou Kewen scolded, you villain, you deserve to talk business with me! Liu Fenglin said, okay, I am not worthy to talk to you, so let your second child talk to you.He shouted at Zhou Ligong, Zhou Ligong, you talk to your father.If you don't talk, the bomb on your body will talk. Zhou Ligong cried to his father, "Dad, help me!" Zhou Kewen roared angrily from above, stand up for me!A man kneels down and kneels down to his parents, how can there be such a beast!If you are still my son, stand up! Zhou Ligong put his hands on the ground, tremblingly trying to stand up.

you dare!Liu Fenglin yelled sternly, kneel down, if you dare to move again, you will be killed. Zhou Ligong knelt down again with a plop.The soldiers behind him laughed. Zhou Kewen's face turned dark with anger, darker than night. Liu Fenglin shouted, Mrs. Zhou, do you know why he was told to kneel down?He lied to me.Your son took my money and said he would sell me the grain, but later he backed out.This is punishing him! what!Zhou Lide and Zhou Kewen now understand how Liu Fenglin came out. You bastard!Zhou Kewen was so angry that his voice trembled. Dad, no.Zhou Ligong shouted. What's the matter?Zhou Kewen asked.

I see you dare to talk nonsense!Liu Fenglin yelled at Zhou Ligong, talk nonsense and shoot you to death! Zhou Ligong's voice was very weak, it was... I... you deserve it!Seeing Zhou Ligong's useless appearance, Zhou Kewen yelled, "You're dead." Zhou Ligong cried, he said, Dad, I was wrong, please help me. Do not save!Zhou Kewen said firmly. Mrs. Zhou Liang also cried. She scolded the old man, you value food more than your son's life, and treat the victims of disasters more dearly than your son. You are a shameless old man. His wife scolded him for being disrespectful, Zhou Kewen became irritable, he swung his palm to slap his wife, Zhou Lide quickly protected his mother.Zhou Kewen said, you stupid woman, am I indifferent or your precious son is inhuman?He even let our family's enemies go for money, and even sold the whole family for food. Why would such a bastard save him!The sage said that a rich man cannot be promiscuous, poor and humble cannot be moved, and mighty cannot be subdued. This guy can't do anything, so what do you want him to do?

Liu Fenglin asked, are you really helpless? Do not save!Zhou Kewen responded decisively. Zhou Ligong burst into tears, shouting while crying, Dad, you are so cruel! Zhou Kewen was unmoved. I've never seen such an indifferent baby daddy like you!Liu Fenglin said, "Zhou Kewen, listen carefully. I will start counting now until ten. If you still don't agree, I will break the fuse of the grenade and blow your son to pieces." You fry it.Zhou Kewen sneered and said, there is no way to blackmail my old man! Then I will count, Liu Fenglin said, you just wait to pick up your son's meatballs.He began to count.Zhou Lide's heartbeat quickened every few weeks, and he felt that Liu Fenglin didn't seem like a verbal threat.Although this person is incapable, he is extremely selfish. In order to avoid being used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, he may put all his eggs in one basket.When Liu Fenglin counted to five, Zhou Liang and Zhou Kewen were fighting desperately. She bumped into him headfirst, knocking the old man staggering.While everyone was helping Zhou Kewen, she quickly climbed up the crenel and shouted, old thief, if you agree, I will jump down.Said that one of her feet really sticks out of the wall, a woman with small feet, such an independent posture of a golden rooster is very dangerous.Zhou Lide rushed over and grabbed his mother's arm, and said to Zhou Kewen, Dad, look...

Zhou Kewen curled his lips and said, it doesn't make sense for the mother and son to go the same way.He didn't let go, and took out the pipe to fill a pot of cigarettes, but for some reason, his hand for striking the match couldn't control it, and the match stem couldn't touch the wiper. The third company commander quickly reminded that he dare not light the fire and be careful of black guns. Zhou Kewen said loudly, if he has the guts to beat me to death with that bastard! Liu Fenglin can't shoot.Zhou Kewen was his trading partner, who would he ask for food if he was killed?He counted the numbers unhurriedly, and turned the screws like winding a clock.

When Liu Fenglin counted to eight, Zhou Kewen's match was finally lit, but the wind on the wall of the village was too strong. Even though he cupped his hands to protect the fire, the fire was still too delicate and was blown out by the wind.Although it was only a flash of fire, everyone still saw the blood oozing from the corner of Zhou Kewen's mouth, and they didn't know whether he bit his tongue or his lip. Zhou Ligong's crying was weak.He was probably desperate. Liu Fenglin counted to nine.Everyone above and below the wall held their breath.The people above can hear the hiss of the torches licking the night below, and the people below can hear the heart beat of the people above.

Zhou Liang was too scared to cry.The muzzle of Zhou Lide's gun was looking for the rope that climbed out from under the big locust tree, trying to break it. He seemed to see a snake-like thing winding on the ground, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't aim at the target no matter what.Zhou Kewen's cigarette pot was in his mouth, and when his teeth chattered, it fell off the wall. It hit the ginger stone under the moat, making an earth-shattering sound, which made everyone tremble. Zhou Ligong was limp and paralyzed, his bones melted, and he was paralyzed on the ground like water. Liu Fenglin opened his mouth dozens of times, and what came out at the same time as his voice was Zhou Kewen's trembling response: Stop—— Zhou Kewen couldn't beat Liu Fenglin.In fact, he knew from the very beginning that he would lose. He couldn't do righteousness and kill relatives, and he couldn't do justice to his son.No matter how ineffective the second child is, he is also his own flesh and blood, why is he willing to abandon him!Morality is important, people's hearts are important, but his son's life is even more important.Zhou Kewen's family education is usually very strict, and his son is afraid of him. He thinks his mother is more kind. In fact, he loves his children no less than his wife. His wife is doting, and he is loving.It is precisely because he regards his son as his darling that Liu Fenglin pinpoints his fate.The reason why he didn't agree earlier was because he couldn't save face, and more importantly, he wanted the second child to learn a lesson, a lesson he would never forget for the rest of his life.If a person wants to grow up and mature, he has to go through this kind of traumatic experience. Liu Fenglin couldn't believe it when he heard Zhou Kewen's response.He tentatively asked, Mr. Zhou, did you agree? Zhou Kewen said, you are a jackal, I agree. That's right, Liu Fenglin said happily, our business has become benevolent. Everyone on the wall let out a long sigh of relief.Zhou Liang burst into tears, she wiped her hands, and flung them in the air, onto Zhou Kewen and Zhou Lide's faces, they felt cool and relieved for a while. Zhou Ligong returned to Yang immediately.He puffed up his waist from lying on his stomach, raised his body and sat on the ground. Zhou Lide yelled, Liu Fenglin, my father has already promised to give me food, so you let my brother go immediately. That's not enough, Liu Fenglin said, in order to ensure that I get the food, you and your people must all surrender their guns and surrender! Zhou Lide said, don't worry, we are gentlemen, we mean what we say, and we will never go back on our promises to give you food. I'm not that stupid, Liu Fenglin said, I know you are good at marksmanship and have a lot of thoughts, and I can rest assured only if you surrender obediently. You villain, Zhou Kewen scolded angrily, you contradict your promise, do you have faith? Liu Fenglin said with a smile, I am a villain, what can you do?I've counted to ten, count to three, and I'll pull the string if you don't hand in the gun. The counting started again.When the count was about to three, Zhou Lide gave in. He said, I will pay, I will pay. No!Zhou Ligong by the moat suddenly stood up.He shouted, Dad, brother, don't trust Liu Fenglin, he is a liar, a rogue, I never sold our food to him, he deceived me so hard, I have already been fooled, you can't be fooled again! Zhou Ligong's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations. Liu Fenglin yelled, you poor bastard, shut up! Zhou Ligong ignored him, and continued to yell towards the wall of the stronghold, Dad, brother, I finally understand, you can't take chances with the devil, you can't hand in your guns, if you hand in your guns, he will control you, the consequences will be disastrous! Liu Fenglin became anxious, and said to Mazi beside him, go, tell that nerd to shut up. Mazi was bold, flashed out from behind the tree, ran up to Zhou Ligong and said, Hey, you're hardened, be careful I'll break your dick! Mazi's vulgar words caused the soldiers to burst into laughter. The laughter scorched Zhou Ligong like a fire, his blood was hot and rushed to the top of his head.He poked his neck and said, Qiu Ba, I'm not afraid of you! I tell you to be stubborn!Mazi raised his arm and slapped Zhou Ligong across the face. I'm your mother, Zhou Ligong scolded, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!He suddenly rushed over like a leopard, hugged Mazi, and the two fell into the moat at the same time. The people at the scene were dumbfounded. With a loud bang, a gap was blasted into the night, and a strong smell of blood poured into the gap, permeating the vast night sky... hit!Zhou Lide let out a roar with tears in his eyes.The bullets on the wall of the stronghold poured down like water, and the torches below were immediately extinguished.The people below also began to fight back, and the bullets hit the wall of the village, chiseling out strings of sparks. The terrain above is favorable, and there are many people below, and the two sides are evenly matched. The battle has entered a stalemate, and no one can do anything for a while.As time passed, Zhou Lide became anxious. He was worried that the sound of gunfire would attract nearby troops, and the situation would become complicated. The battle must be ended as soon as possible, Zhou Lide thought not only to fight with force, but also to outsmart him.He ordered the ceasefire above, and when the gunfire subsided, he shouted down: Brothers, I am Zhou Lide. Today's dispute is completely a personal enmity between me and Liu Fenglin, and has nothing to do with you.Liu Fenglin killed my third brother and second brother. You all saw it with your own eyes. You are all people with a conscience. How can you help him?I hope everyone remains neutral, don't get involved in this matter, don't be cannon fodder in vain, let Liu Fenglin and I single out to settle this blood debt! Zhou Lide usually acts fairly and has great prestige in the team. His words obviously moved many people.Some soldiers turned their guns down, and some simply dropped their guns. Liu Fenglin shot and killed a few people, hid behind a tree and yelled loudly, beat them all, and each person in Zhoujiazhai will be given 100 catties of grain. If you don't shoot, I will kill him now! The soldiers will not believe Liu Fenglin's promise now, but they dare not not shoot, but their muzzles are all raised a foot. As soon as the gun below fired, it drew a fierce counterattack from the wall of the stronghold.Zhou Lide scolded, if you don't know what is good or bad, hit me hard! The team below was beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads. Suddenly, there was loud gunshots behind them.These sudden bullets are bloodthirsty, guns and guns bite people, bullets eat meat, and the soldiers who don't care about their tails are caught off guard and fall to the ground with a crash. We are surrounded!Someone screamed in horror. In the dark, they don't know how many people there are on the other side. This kind of strong fighting power is too scary. We surrender, we surrender!Many people shouted.They didn't want to fight. The two-sided attack continued, and the crying soldiers threw away their weapons cracklingly, and the people below had completely lost their will to fight. Zhou Lide didn't know who helped him, and he didn't have time to think about this issue.He ordered, open the gate of the village, rush out and capture Liu Fenglin alive! Seeing that the situation was over, Liu Fenglin turned around and ran into the barracks, jumped on his horse and fled.Zhou Lide, who rushed out of the gate of the village, only saw a flash of white light, and the white horse plunged into the darkness. Lead my horse!he commanded.But his horse was tied up in Mingdetang's livestock pen, and it was obviously too late.He stomped anxiously and shouted, that bastard can't be let go! He can't run!Someone asked in the dark, is it going to die or is it going to live? Live!Zhou Lide said, I want to take him to be buried with my brother. it is good!With a loud cry, a black figure popped up from the crowd, and it swept past like a whirlwind. This man is indeed the wind, he runs without touching the ground, as if he is riding a cloud.He quickly caught up with the white horse, and just as the horse's tail was about to brush his face, he took out a stone egg from his waist and threw it at the rider.The stone was unbiased, and hit Liu Fenglin on the back of the neck. His eyes went dark and he fell off the horse. Liu Fenglin fainted.The man untied Liu Fenglin's armed belt, tied him up, put his arms across the horse's back, and rode back on the horse at a gallop. The man threw Liu Fenglin in front of Zhou Lide.Zhou Lide asked in surprise, senior, what kind of hero are you? Dry land dragon.the man replied. ah?Zhou Lide was taken aback and asked, aren't you from Feng County? Why did you come here? Han Dilong said, it was the second young master who called me here. The gunshots that night alarmed Qin Shankui in Jiangzhang Town, and he could tell that the sound came from the direction of Zhoujiazhai.What happened to Zhoujiazhai?He immediately thought of Zhou Lide.Only Zhou Lide's team was there, and whatever happened was related to him.Qin Shankui immediately led his brothers to run there, ready to help Zhou Lide.This is a good opportunity to make friends with Zhou Lide, don't miss it! When they arrived at Zhoujiazhai, they found that an army was attacking the city.Qin Shankui knew that Zhou Lide's team was stationed in the stronghold, and it must be Zhou Lide's enemy who attacked the city.Regardless of the three seven twenty-one, beat the dog day!Qin Shankui and his gang are all habitual bandits, and their marksmanship is excellent, and their combat effectiveness is magnified invisibly, resulting in a frightening effect of flanking front and rear. The setting sun rests on the west bank of Huanglongyuan, blood red, blood red flowing down, and the field is also blood red.That day, so many grave mounds suddenly rose up on Huanglongyuan, as if the earth was convulsed with pain, and bumps bulged all over.The living stood in front of the tomb, they had nothing to say, only tears fell, and a cloud of dust rose in the loess... Zhou Lide paid homage to his two brothers, bid farewell to his parents, and led the team to set off.They are not heading east, but north.
