Volume 4: The Sleepless Snake Chapter 2: Changhai and Wealth!

Smash the kiln?
What is that?
Goethe was stunned for a moment, and then the [Blood Crow Spirit] that had already flown away came back into his sight - he saw a group of hundreds of people holding swords and guns rushing towards his position among the snow.
The leader wore a hat with rabbit fur turned inside out, held a big knife in his hand, and had three muskets on his waist - similar to flintlock rifles, but a little different.
Behind him were a dozen strong men in cotton-padded clothes, each with a ferocious face and murderous intent.
The rest of the people were much worse off. Although they also had weapons, they were all machetes and pitchforks made from farm tools. They didn't have any muskets or the like.
bandit!
The moment Goethe saw this group of people, he came to this conclusion.
As the view moved slightly, I saw that the sentries in the village had already lit torches.
All the young and middle-aged men in the village took action.
More than a dozen guys carrying long rifles rushed out from a tile-roofed house protected by high walls in the center of the village.
Behind him was an old man wearing a dog-skin coat, with a gaunt face and narrow eyes. Next to the old man was a middle-aged man, who looked similar to the people in the village, with dark faces but a bit of imposingness.
According to simple memory, the latter is the Li family, a wealthy family in the village.
In fact, everyone in the village has the surname Li.
We are all related.
The Li family made a fortune by selling mountain products in their early years. After they acquired businesses in the city, they did not forget the village. A large group of young people from the village came to the city and worked with the Li family.
Those guys who just came out with long firearms are all locals.
On the two watchtowers, the two sons of the Li family were carrying heavy weapons such as rifles. One of them was the honest boy who had just delivered eggs to Goethe: Li Changhai.
Li Changhai's original name was Li Goudan.
Mr. Li became rich and thought he should give his child a promising name, so he asked a fortune teller to name his child "Changhai".
The second son did not look for a teacher, but came according to his own ideas and was called: Li Fugui.
"Dad, it was the gangsters who smashed the kiln. Go back and have a rest first. I'll take care of these bastards!"
Li Changhai operated the gun in a daze, ready to attack this gang first.
The guy next to him held up his gun so that Li Changhai could aim better.
The people in the village hated this gang.
Normally these gangs from the black soil area would smash kilns and kidnap people, and after doing one thing, they would go on to do another. Those who follow the rules can even pay a lot to avoid disaster, but those who don't follow the rules will die faster the more money they pay.
For those who have daughters or young wives in the family, it is more painful than death.
A girl from Wangjiatun whom Li Changhai had liked before was raped by a gangster.
Now looking at the curls, my eyes are red.
"What are you yelling about?"
"Just yelling!"
"Do you understand the rules?"
"ah!"
Old Li had already learned from his men that although this group of people looked numerous and powerful, there were actually only a dozen or so who could fight. So he calmed himself down immediately, especially the last shout, which was drawn out in a long tone.
Old Li is acting like the boss.
On weekdays, Lao Li likes to do this.
Now, we have a distinguished guest.
Old Li is even more determined to do so.
Old Li has to act like a father.
However, when he saw his son Li Changhai standing there scratching his head in a daze, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "You little bastard, squat down quickly. You're going to get shot if you show your big head."
"What?"
"You want your father to wear mourning clothes for you?"
While they were arguing, Old Li picked up a piece of snow from the ground and threw it at Li Changhai.
Li Fugui on the other side scratched his head and smiled on his face, which was as silly as his brother's.
It's obvious.
His father beat his brother to stop him from shooting.
His father didn't beat him, that was to let him shoot.
You know, he had met the sister-in-law from Wangjiatun at that time, and she even gave him two pieces of candy.
He gestured to his brother.
That means: Hey, look at me.
Then--
Bang!
It's like firing a cannon.
Fireworks came out of the gun, and bullets hit the rushing bandits like raindrops.
Plop, plop.
Four or five of the bandits who were charging fell.
Seeing his younger brother shooting, Li Changhai ignored his father and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Another group of bandits fell.
"Hey! Brat! What are you doing?"
Old Li cursed loudly, but he kept commanding the guys around him: "Hurry up, hurry up, beat them hard, kill these bastards!"
Brothers fight together in war, fathers and sons fight together in battle.
The more I cursed, the more nervous I felt inside, for fear of getting hurt.
However, on the surface, he still remained stubborn.
"Sir, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"These two brats are used to being wild."
“It’s a bit out of control.”
As Old Li spoke, he bowed to the old man beside him who was wearing a dog-skin coat and had narrow eyes.
The old man looked at this scene, his mind clear as if it were a mirror, and waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. Changhai and Fugui both have pure hearts."
What is a pure heart?
Old Li was a little confused, but from the tone of his voice, he seemed to be complimenting him, so he bowed again immediately.
"Excuse me, excuse me."
"Sir, please go inside for a while. It's too windy outside."
"I don't know what's wrong with this bunch of bastards . They should have hibernated, but they're still out destroying kilns. I guess there's no food in the mountains, so they want to eat some meat before the New Year. All the guys in our shop are here, so they're nothing."
Old Li said this and invited the old man into the house.
He picked up two muskets and ran towards the village wall.
In his early years, Lao Li was a hunter in the mountains. He accidentally dug out a hundred-year-old ginseng and went to the city to buy it. He happened to meet the gentleman just now. The gentleman did not cheat him, but gave him an extra 10% and helped him open a shop. After his life improved, he asked people to buy things for the village, just like his courtyard wall, which was made of straw braids wrapped in mud, with large indigo plants sandwiched in it. It was strong and resistant to blows, and even firearms could not penetrate it.
However, I kept an eye on it.
Specially used for shooting from outside.
Lao Li buttoned open a piece of it, quietly handed the gun out, and aimed at the gangs that looked like they had guns.
Old Li knows all about these gangs.
After killing the leaders, the rest were just like him, digging for food in the soil.
Two shots will smother them.
Therefore, we must attack those that are leading first.
Bang!
As soon as the gunshot was heard, a bandit with a gun fell to the ground.
Then another shot was fired, and another bandit with a gun fell to the ground.
Lao Li was a hunter in his early years. Although he used bows and arrows back then and now uses firearms, his accuracy is just as good as ever. What's more, his ten guys are all very capable. For a while, the bandits who outnumbered others were beaten so hard that they couldn't raise their heads and had to retreat again and again.
The old man in the dog shit coat lifted the door curtain and watched the scene.
Then, he quietly retreated.
There was another person sitting in the room.
She was wearing a black satin and wool shirt embroidered with gold thread. She was thin but had a very fair face, which was indescribably beautiful. But upon closer inspection, she had no Adam's apple and was obviously a woman dressed as a man.
"Miss, we can't stay in Lijiatun anymore."
"This group of people should be the young master's spies."
"As long as we investigate clearly, the good men under the young master will come to us."
Unlike before, the old man at this moment frowned slightly and looked helpless.
"Uncle Wang, don't you have any other options?"
The woman called the eldest lady looked sad.
“No more.”
"The master left his property to you, not to the eldest young master. This can still be salvaged."
"And you were soft-hearted before and let the young master go, which turned it into a dead end."
Uncle Wang smiled bitterly.
The young lady lowered her head and said nothing.
Her father left her a huge inheritance and didn't leave a penny to her brother. She felt a little bit reluctant, so she gave some to him, but her brother wanted more. Uncle Wang designed a plan to capture him and was ready to punish him directly. She couldn't bear it and quietly let her brother go. As a result, who knew that he would get into a fatal disaster. Using the money, her brother gathered a group of desperate people and directly attacked the old house in the city.
If Uncle Wang hadn't seen the situation quickly, she would have died long ago.
But now, it's not much better.
They hid from place to place until Uncle Wang remembered that they had a good relationship in Lijiatun, so they came here to stay temporarily.
Can……
It's also useless.
"Uncle Wang..."
The young lady raised her head and wanted to say something.
There is both regret and self-blame.
She thought about the people at home.
They should have been killed by her brother... no, that ungrateful bastard.
"The master has been doing good deeds all his life, but who would have thought that he would raise such an ungrateful person like Wang Tianyou? If I had known this would happen, I would have let him live on the streets and freeze to death 20 years ago."
Uncle Wang knew exactly what his eldest daughter wanted to say, but he didn't let her say it.
He knew that the eldest lady was feeling miserable.
It's even more painful when you say it out loud.
That's not a confession, it's a stab in the heart.
I’d better not say it.
"Miss, let's go."
Uncle Wang reminded again.
"Should I remind Uncle Li?"
The eldest lady asked.
"Old Li is a shrewd man. Although he had our family's reputation in the early years, it was Old Li's own ability that enabled him to move around in the city. Moreover, it is impossible for Old Li to not know what happened to the Wang family in the city. He dared to take us in even though he knew it. It was just to repay the favor. Let's leave a letter to tell him the whole story."
Uncle Wang waved his hand and took out a letter that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.
There was a hint of guilt in his narrow eyes.
Some things are just good for lying to the young lady.
Uncle Wang knew very well the temperament of the master's adopted son.
After such an incident, Lijiatun will definitely be destroyed.
But he had no choice.
Things have come to this point.
He can only protect the eldest lady first.
Take the young lady to a safe place first, then?
After that, he will pay with his life to the people of Lijiatun.
Fortunately, after he found out that the eldest lady had released the people, he left her an estate in the mountains.
It is impossible to become rich and powerful.
But if you take it out, you can still survive in Haimen, Didu or Huacheng.
Spend frugally and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
"Let's go, Miss."
After putting down the letter, Uncle Wang no longer hesitated and prepared to take the eldest lady away.
But just like that——
Woo!
Woo woo!
A long horn sounded in the night. When Uncle Wang and the eldest lady heard the horn, their faces changed drastically.
This is the call of the White-Eyed Wolf Guards.
At this time, the brothers Li Changhai and Li Fugui had already hidden beside their father.
"Dad, what's that sound?"
"Why do I feel so scared when I hear this?"
Li Changhai asked.
"Yes, I feel frightened!"
Li Fugui also nodded.
"It's a weird thing."
"The Wang family in the city... let's repay the kindness we received in the past. Otherwise, we will be stabbed in the back by others. Even after we die, your mother will look down on the man she finds."
"Changhai, go and invite Mr. Mo."
"Fugui, go find the black dog blood."
Old Li licked his lips which had become dry in the winter night, and as soon as he stuck out his tongue, it was so cold that it hurt.
"Dad, that Mo guy is just a liar who eats and drinks for free. What's the point of inviting him now?"
Li Fugui curled the corner of his mouth, appearing to look down on Mo Shengyi.
"Just shut up."
"Mr. Mo was magnanimous and didn't take it seriously when you tried to test me a few times. What's wrong? Did he give you face?"
Li Changhai didn't indulge his younger brother, so he raised his hand and hit Li Fugui's hat.
Li Fugui's hat was immediately pulled into the snow.
Li Fugui, the younger brother, didn't get angry, he just muttered to himself.
"You are my brother, I will listen to you."
"In the next life, you will be my son."
"I'm going to beat you to death."
"What do you mean?"
Li Changhai glared.
"I'm going to look for black dog blood."
Li Fugui said this and ran away.
"Dad, I'm going to ask Mr. Mo to come. Be careful and don't get shot."
As Li Changhai spoke, he also ran towards the village.
Looking at his eldest son's back, Old Li wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
As for Mr. Mo, Mr. Li's impression is more inclined towards his second son.
However, the boss was like a fascinated person and he was determined to find Mr. Mo.
Anyway, there is enough food at home.
Old Li didn't care anymore.
Just support one more person if you can.
Moreover, after observing him , I found that Mr. Mo is an honest man, not like those scammers in my memory who set traps and played tricks on people.
Apart from being a bit unsociable , it sometimes seems to be the case.
However, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk.
There was no chance before.
Now, the big gang has smashed the kiln.
And it also has some weird stuff.
You are the Yin-Yang Master of Lijiatun.
You have to show your skills now.
Of course.
Old Li had also made plans. If Mr. Mo could do it, he would treat him as a guest of honor. If not, he would give him some money and ask him to leave in the spring.
This saves his boss from being confused all day long.
They are always shouting about learning skills.
What ability?
Inheriting a family business is a real talent.
He should get married quickly, give birth to ten or eight big fat boys, and expand the Li family.
The rest?
His Li family can’t reach it.
Not even reaching for it.
Just live a down-to-earth life.
While thinking about this, Old Li looked out through the remaining cat's eye.
The snow reflected light and many people could be vaguely seen.
Right behind the bunch.
It seemed like a sedan chair was being carried.
sedan chair?
Old Li frowned.
Immediately afterwards, the people carrying the sedan suddenly lit the torches.
call!
The flames made it even brighter outside.
Old Li immediately saw what was being carried on the sedan chair.
That's a wild boar.
The wild boar wearing a waistcoat sits like a human.
hiss!
Old Li took a breath of cold air.
My heart feels cold.
Finished!
The five outer fairies!
