Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 391 Ambush

"Okay, this construction team is really frightening. Dad, I shudder when I think about those villagers who once smiled at me but now have blood on their hands. Dad, I want to get two guns. The atmosphere in the team has been weird these past two days." Chen Jinghan never hides anything in front of his family. Being afraid is not a shameful thing. However, if one loses his life because of being stubborn, that would be stupid behavior.

"Go call your Uncle Wu, and I'll tell him to get two more for you. There are many of you, so protecting yourselves is the most important thing." Father Chen is now very alert. He only has this one son, so he can never be too careful.

"Okay, Dad, wait a moment." Chen Jinghan said quickly, then put the receiver aside and rushed out to the next office to look for someone.

After the phone call that day, the Minister of Armed Forces Wu Zhongguo gave Chen Jinghan four guns and 4 rounds of ammunition, packed the stuff in a backpack, and carried the heavy load on his back.

"Don't use it if you can. But if you encounter danger, don't be stingy. Kill the enemy with one burst of bullets, and uncle will take care of it for you!" Wu Zhongguo warned Chen Jinghan seriously when he sent him out.

Chen Jinghan smiled and nodded, "Uncle, I understand. I won't keep you any longer. I still have to catch the bus."

"Go, go, be careful, and remember to come and see your uncle when you have time." Wu Zhongguo nodded, then watched Chen Jinghan walk away.

Chen Jinghan, who rushed back to the educated youth point before nightfall, felt the extremely solemn atmosphere as soon as she entered the door.

He quickly carried his bicycle into the backyard, walked into his room, and asked Wu Aiqing, "What happened?"

"Zhang Ming is back, and his leg is broken." Wu Aiqing was making dinner and answered without raising her head.

"Broken leg? No, who beat you?" Chen Jinghan put down the car and went to close the door. Then he took off the backpack in front of his chest and put it on the kang table. There was a knocking sound from the metal collision inside.

Wu Aiqing looked back at him and said, "The militia beat him. They said that Zhang Ming screamed like a ghost last night and disturbed the people nearby, so they wanted to teach him a lesson."

"When was the man who was beaten last night released?" Chen Jinghan thought it was outrageous. Why didn't you just cover his mouth? Who took away the cloth that was originally used to cover his mouth? Was it necessary to break his legs? That was too much.

"Before leaving work in the afternoon, I was dragged out by the team cadres and criticized again." Wu Aiqing also heard this from other educated youth. He spent the afternoon in the yard collecting herbs and had no idea what was happening outside.

Chen Jinghan let out a breath, "Zhang Ming must hate us educated youth to death." If we hadn't sent him to the brigade headquarters, he wouldn't be so miserable...

"You're here again, dragging all the dirty and smelly things over to your side. Is that fun?" Wu Aiqing rolled her eyes at him. "The reason why Zhang Ming was sent to the brigade headquarters was because he bit people like a mad dog. We had no choice but to hand him over to the brigade headquarters for processing. Is there a problem with that? No. As for his broken leg, first of all, he made a noise late at night, and secondly, the militiaman didn't use any light weight when hitting him. Do these two points have anything to do with you?"

Chen Jinghan groaned, then shut her mouth and dared not say anything else, fearing that she would say something wrong and be caught by Wu Aiqing, who would then scold her again.

"How was your outing today?" Wu Aiqing didn't want to say much. They were all adults, and some things only needed to be said once or twice. Saying them too much would annoy people.

Chen Jinghan patted the bag on the table and said, "It's all in there." Then she opened her backpack and took out the oil paper bag on the top, which was a piece of pork leg. She then waved and asked Wu Aiqing to come over and take a look.

He opened the bag, and Wu Aiqing looked inside curiously, "Oh my god."

"I'll give you one later, and you can carry it with you when you go up the mountain. By the way, do you know how to use it?" Chen Jinghan tightened the opening, looked up and asked Wu Aiqing.

Wu Aiqing shook his head, then waved his hand, "Otherwise, don't give it to me. I don't know how to use it, so it would be a waste if you give it to me."

"How is it a waste? Among us, Jiang Yu and Fu Biao are good in martial arts, and the other four are noobs. They are not even worth a few punches from others. How can you not take something to defend yourself?" Chen Jinghan did not let him refuse. She took out the pistol, emptied the magazine, and began to teach him how to use it.

Wu Aiqing cried out, "It's later, it's later, I'll make the meal first."

"That's fine." Chen Jinghan put the gun back and asked, "Is Xue Li back?"

"Not yet." Wu Aiqing said, "She always comes back after dark, I'm really worried about her. What you brought is just right. Let her take it with her when she goes out."

And Xue Li, whom they mentioned, was just coming out of the commune and heading back.

She had a flashlight tied to the front of her bicycle for illumination, and the moon was quite round and bright tonight, so she didn't feel scared.

After avoiding a small pit, she pedaled forward at a steady speed, thinking about making a self-heating hotpot when she got home later, and also going to the supermarket freezer to get some beef rolls to dip. For the staple food, she would use hotpot wide noodles, which she would cook first and then put in the hotpot soup to soak up the flavor. It would be perfect.

Although it is not yet late at night, the inexplicable silence around makes people feel uneasy because there are no pedestrians on the road.

Xue Li's mind moved, and she checked to see if the machete and the stun gun were on the ground in the middle of the mall. As long as she could take them out as soon as possible, she would still move forward during this time.

Suddenly, a nail board appeared on the road covered with gravel and mud. The moment the flashlight shone over it, Xue Li pressed the brake hard.

The panic she had just felt came true, and someone really ambushed her.

Xue Li immediately jumped off the bicycle and stood on the ground to avoid being pushed down by someone with bad intentions and losing the initiative.

There seemed to be a faint noise coming from behind him. Xue Li subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, grabbed the machete in the space, then turned around suddenly, and when he felt something unusual, he chopped it hard.

"Ah!!" a shrill scream rang out.

Xue Li gripped the knife tightly and looked around vigilantly, worried that there might be other accomplices. Then he backed up to get the flashlight from the bicycle and shone it on the person lying on the ground and screaming. It was an acquaintance.

He was from the third squad of the construction brigade. She had met him several times, but they had no intersection.

She waited for a while, and after making sure that no one was around, she approached the man with the knife raised, "Are you waiting for me?"

The tip of the machete was against the man's chest. Xue Li's previous cut had left a long wound from left to right on the man's face and right chest. Soon, his blood spread out.

He was lucky that he didn't get too close, or he was too late, otherwise Xue Li would have cut off a piece of his meat.
