Chapter 278: Life is worse than death
Uncle Bao went to get the medicine.
Lei Xiaohu ran to the bathroom and scrubbed the floor with the faucet on for a long time. He came out with his hands agape and a mask on his mouth. Everyone asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Lei Xiaohu said seriously: "I have the longest seniority and the most experience here, so I decided to apply the medicine to her."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Ah San said, "Uncle Lei, you may be old but your heart is young!"
Lei Xiaohu said: "I am not old, what do you mean?"
Li Changgui said: "Seeing a naked woman might arouse some people's greed."
Lei Xiaohu said unhappily: "What are you talking about? I just can't bear to see anyone suffer." Uncle Bao came in with a plate. He took it and walked to Asasin and was about to lift the bath towel.
Zhang Nianzu said, "Be careful, this woman's nails are sharper than a knife. If she wakes up from the pain, you have to be on guard."
Ah San said: "She can poke your crotch with her hand."
Lei Xiaohu walked straight to Zhang Nianzu with the plate and handed it to him, sighing, "Forget it, I still can't bear to see people suffer."
Zhang Nianzu signaled everyone to temporarily leave, and everyone else walked out. Lei Xiaohu said with a posture of waiting, "Can I stay over there and take care of things?"
Uncle Bao dragged him out of the door with a look of shame on his face, then turned around and explained to Zhang Nianzu: "Brother Hu is not usually like this..."
Zhang Nianzu held the plate and lifted the bath towel on the injured side of Asasin. Some parts of her wound had already coagulated into blood scabs, which looked horrible. But what was even more horrible was Uncle Bao's medicine. It was a sticky paste with a spicy smell. It felt like it would sting people to the point of jumping if it was applied to good skin.
Asasin seemed to sense someone nearby and twisted her body uneasily. Zhang Nianzu said, "I don't know if you can hear me, but I want to save you now, so you have to watch your claws." As he spoke, he smeared a spoonful of ointment on her shoulder. Asasin jumped back at the stimulation and reached out to stab. Zhang Nianzu raised his knees to hold her hands together, then quickened the movement of his hands and evenly rubbed the burned area.
Uncle Bao's medicine was really good. Although it smelled spicy when first applied, it now gave off a slight cool scent. Asassin became much calmer. The reason she had been in a coma for a long time was actually because she was thrown high up by the airflow of the bomb and passed out. The sequelae were still there, but she was conscious again. Her eyeballs were rolling in her eyelids, but she was still pretending to be unconscious.
Zhang Nianzu said, "Answer the question when you wake up. Where is Li Erhu?"
Asasin suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of hatred, and then he uttered a few words from between his teeth: "Kill me!"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Although you may not accept it, you have indeed been captured by me. It is fair to exchange prisoners, right? We only have one request - return Li Erhu!"
The people outside heard what was being said inside and rushed in together. Asasin subconsciously wanted to curl up her body, and Zhang Nianzu covered her with a bath towel.
Ah San was the first to shout, "Have you confessed? What happened to Li Erhu?"
Asasin stared at Zhang Nianzu and asked coldly: "Is he important to you?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "He is our brother."
Asassin closed his eyes again and said, "I won't say anything. Kill me if you dare."
Ah San raised his hand as if to strike, but finally put it down and said viciously: "I have a hundred ways to make you live a life worse than death!"
Asassin said calmly, "Tell me one or two."
"I..." Asan thought for a long time, but the only idea he had was to slap someone in the face. It was true that it was easy to beat someone to death, but it was not like he would live a life worse than death.
Li Changgui poked Lei Xiaohu and said, "Aren't you the big brother in the underworld? Do you have any ideas?"
Lei Xiaohu stamped his feet and said, "You occupy my house. I am living a life worse than death!"
At this time, someone standing on the building screamed. It turned out that Xu Xiaofeng was woken up by the noise downstairs. She saw Asaxin on the sofa and hurried downstairs to check her wound and asked, "What happened?"
Lei Xiaohu complained: "Zhang Nianzu said this was the enemy he captured."
Xu Xiaofeng asked anxiously: "How can you treat a girl like this?"
Ah San said, "This is the Virgin Mary—" Li Changgui covered up the last word and said to Xu Xiaofeng, "The injuries on her body were not caused by us, and she captured Li Erhu."
Xu Xiaofeng knew that Zhang Nianzu and his men had complicated backgrounds. She had followed Lao Jiang for many years and had seen a lot of things, so she didn't ask any more questions. She leaned over and said softly to Asaxin, "Girl, tell them what they want to know. These people are not bad people. I will guarantee your safety."
Asassin sneered, "If the hard way doesn't work, try the soft way? Get out of here!"
Ah San sighed and said, "You asked for this."
Xu Xiaofeng said: "Anyway, you can't abuse her. How about this, carry her to my room and I will take care of her."
Ah San said, "I was beaten to a pulp and no one took care of me. How can you take care of her?"
Asassin said: "It sounds nice, but isn't it just imprisonment?"
Of course, Zhang Nianzu and the others couldn't do as Teresa Teng said, but putting the person in the living room didn't work either. In the end, they found a windowless storage room on the first floor and moved Assassin and even the sofa cushions in.
Li Changgui said, "Asan and I take turns guarding the door. I'll go first." After saying that, he moved a chair and sat at the door without caring whether others agreed or not.
After a whole night of fighting, it was already dawn. Xu Xiaofeng brought milk and bread to Asasin and said, "Eat something, or your wound won't heal."
Asassin just stared at her like a wild animal, neither eating nor speaking.
Li Changgui stood at the door alertly and said, "Be careful, this woman has killed so many people."
Xu Xiaofeng put the plate in front of the mat and said sadly, "If a woman is not forced to do so, who would want to get involved in the disputes among men?"
Asassin said as usual: "Get lost!"
Xu Xiaofeng walked to the door calmly, turned her head and said: "Actually, I envy you very much. When you are bullied, you know who to fight with. You have the ability to make your enemies be on guard against you. I am not so lucky." Then she walked out.
It was almost noon, and Asassin refused to eat, drink or cooperate. Xu Xiaofeng went in to check on him several times, but all she saw was a few words changing.
Anxiety spread among Zhang Nianzu and the others. Li Erhu had been missing for 12 hours. Ah San could no longer bear it. He grabbed a handful of chili powder and rushed into the storage room, holding his hand high and shouting, "If you don't say anything, I'll throw all this stuff on your wound!"
Asassin glanced at him, suddenly took off the towel and said in protest: "Come on!"
Under the bath towel was Assassin's body, half of which was as white as fat and the other half was covered with medicine. On her wonderful body, there were hills and rivers scattered around, as well as the sadness of autumn. The scene had a unique thrilling impact.
Asan just lowered his head, took one look, then stepped back to the corner, and then ran away as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Asassin slowly covered the towel and said contemptuously, "Boy Scout!"
Zhang Nianzu was sitting on the steps thinking of a solution, and Ah San sat down next to him, his face flushed and his teeth gnashed.
Zhang Nianzu was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ah San said indignantly: "Brother Nianzu, why can't we even handle a woman?"
Zhang Nianzu sighed and said, "Because we are good people."
On the lawn, Lei Xiaohu and Uncle Bao were lighting a big fire and roasting lamb legs. Ever since their house was taken over, the two old brothers have often found joy in hardship and made various barbecues themselves. The lamb legs have been on the shelf for quite a while now, and the sizzling aroma of oil filled the air.
Asan stared at the fire for a while. The more he thought about what happened, the more aggrieved he felt. Flames seemed to be spewing out of both his nostrils.
"I just don't believe it!" Asan threw the chili powder on the lamb leg in anger, picked it up and rushed into the house.
Lei Xiaohu shouted from behind: "It's not cooked yet!"
Ah San rushed into the storage room like a gust of wind and sat down opposite Asaxin. Seeing him come back, Asaxin hesitated and asked, "What tricks do you have now?"
Ah San lifted the lamb leg high, opened his mouth wide, bit down on a piece of burnt skin, and then chewed it in two big mouthfuls, mumbling: "You haven't eaten anything for a day and a night, right? I have a roasted lamb leg to eat, are you greedy?" He chewed the lamb leg and slurped down a can of beer. The burnt and crispy skin made a crunching sound in his mouth, and the beer was swallowed down. At last, Ah San burped, "Uh - it feels good!"
Asasin was stunned and said in disbelief: "Is this the way you came up with to make my life worse than death?"
Ah San picked up the lamb leg and shook it in front of her like a rattle: "Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, just tell me the truth!"
At this time, Xu Xiaofeng's voice came from the living room: "Where's Ah San? Didn't you not let him into that room?"
Asan hurriedly threw the lamb leg on the ground, wiped his mouth and slipped out the door.
Zhang Nianzu heard the noise and rushed to the door of the storage room, just in time to see the sneaky Ah San coming out, and couldn't help asking: "What did you do to her?"
Ah San burped again and said, "Nothing, I 'm just angry."
Zhang Nianzu was about to say something when he heard a rustling noise in the room. Fearing that Asasin was about to escape, he kicked the door open. Inside the room, Asasin crawled off the mat, holding a leg of lamb in his hand and chewing it...
