1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Chen Tiezhu crouched down and moved very slowly.

The people on the opposite side were not easy to deal with. They dared to do business in the mountains, and there were many experts among them.

"Boss..., you should be...dangerous..."

"Yes..., then..."

"Afraid of...hammer,...thing..."

"Be careful..."

...

The wind continued to blow, and the intermittent voices came more and more clearly. Chen Tiezhu was already half lying on the ground.

A little faint light appeared in his vision, which made him stop.

Under the cover of the fire, the shadowy figures seemed to be sitting around the fire.

His heart was also tight.

I thought there were only five or six people, but I didn't expect that this group was no less than ten people, and I only had nine and a half arrows.

After a little slowing down, he continued to move forward.

The figures in his vision gradually became clear, and he didn't dare to move forward. The distance now should be more than ten meters.

"Boss, I think what the third brother said is right. Our business is dangerous. That old coffin is not simple." The speaker is a bearded man.

"Fourth brother, I really don't accept it. If the mountain wind wasn't too strong, my second arrow would have killed him." This man is the one with the triangular eyes and a back bow.

"First, I met the one with the child, and I had a bad feeling. When the snow stops, we will hunt as much as we can, and then leave."

The one who spoke this time was the old man who had met before, and also their boss.

"Boss, what can they do with this broken village? Dare to come into the mountains to find bad luck with us? Give him some courage." Triangular eyes said a little unconvinced.

"Yes, brother. There are still a few pig farmers on the mountain. We all avoid Zhang San and don't hunt anymore? The pig farmer's skin and bones are more valuable than the club."

Now it can be seen clearly that there are thirteen people in total.

The person who spoke this time was a young man with his back to Chen Tiezhu.

Chen Tiezhu frowned slightly. This group of people was really not simple.

The Zhang San they were talking about was actually a wolf, which was also a common name for wolves in some places in the Northeast. It came from the story of Zhang San turning into a wolf, eating red meat and shitting white, and then becoming an ungrateful wolf.

In his memory, he had heard a nursery rhyme when he was a child, "The bear is coming, the tiger is coming, Zhang San is coming with a drum on his back, and is looking at you at the door."

Of course, these were all adults scaring children. The Zhang San here refers to the peddlers who would kidnap children.

And the "pig herders" they were talking about were tigers.

Because tigers often follow wild boars, they can have a full meal by hunting a wild boar. After a few days, they can continue to hunt and eat.

What made Chen Tiezhu a little worried was this name, which was rarely mentioned even in Erdaoling Village.

"Boss, I think everything else is secondary. Before we leave, should we go to Erdaoling Village?"

Another person also spoke up. Chen Tiezhu only saw a side profile, which was not very clear.

"Old Eight, why do you say that?" asked the boss.

"We met that old coffin guy, not only him, but also the one with the child. If we really tell the police, it will be difficult for us to move forward." Old Eight said calmly.

Listening to his words, the triangular eyes sitting next to him moved to the side, "I'm always scared to see you, the world is so big, where can't we go? I won't do anything to the child."

Chen Tiezhu clenched his fists fiercely.

Originally, his primary target was the triangular eyes, and the arrow on Erye must have been shot by him. Now it seems that this old eight is a venomous snake.

"Hey..., what old eight said makes sense. Those who enter the village will get 70%, and the rest will get 30%. "The boss sighed and agreed.

"Boss, what about the pig farmer? Are you really not going to hunt anymore?" the young man asked.

"You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're still thinking about the pig farmer?" The bearded old man spoke up.

"Even if we have detonators, it won't be easy to hunt the pig farmer. The more time we spend, the more dangerous it will be."

"Now we can't go to their county to sell game, so we can only go through the forest. Where can we get food and drink? We always eat this stuff?"

The young man didn't dare to speak and lowered his head.

Chen Tiezhu exhaled a few times, trying to calm his excited mood.

For him, today is also a hurdle. It's not a life-and-death level to fight with these people, but he has to break through his own psychological barriers.

There is still an essential difference between hunting game and hunting people.

Even if he has good eyesight now, he can't guarantee whether the other party is dead or alive after shooting an arrow.

Half-kneeling on the ground, the lower end of the bow wall is supported on the ground. Slowly draw out an arrow, put the bow string on it and slowly pull it apart.Be prepared.

"Shake off the shit and urine, rest early. Get up early and change places. Start when the snow stops." The boss knocked on the pipe.

Chen Tiezhu became nervous when the words reached his ears.

"Boss, good morning... ah... my leg"

Old Eight just stood up, stumbled, and screamed.

The arrow shot by Chen Tiezhu pierced his leg steadily. As Old Eight fell, it pierced directly into the ground, with only half of the arrow shaft exposed.

"Fuck it."

The boss shouted, and rolled behind him like the others.

After shooting an arrow, Chen Tiezhu, who rolled aside, frowned again.

In his judgment, he at least had the opportunity to shoot a second arrow. But these people were too alert and responded cleanly.

Now he can shoot a second arrow, but his position will definitely be exposed.

In such a big forest, it would be difficult to chase these people one by one.

"Damn it, shoot me to death if you dare. If I'm not dead, I'll skin you alive."

Old Eight endured the pain and screamed wildly.

Chen Tiezhu slowly pulled out the second arrow, this time he was lying flat on his back to draw the bow.

"Swoosh..."

The second arrow broke through the air, cut through the wind and snow, passed through the bushes, and hit the triangle eye who had just stuck out half of his body from behind the tree.

He was also very tough, just groaned.

"Friend, which road are you from?" The eldest brother spoke.

"It's our fault that we forgot to pay respect to the mountain gate when we first came to your precious place. There are three clubs in the bag over there for you to make amends, okay?"

Chen Tiezhu, who was lying on the ground, would never believe his nonsense, and had already pulled out the third arrow.

The second arrow just now was shot from the bushes to hide his body, but it still missed the target.

Originally, he aimed at the clavicle of the triangular eye, but he only shot the shoulder.

Now it was time to test his patience. He could only shoot one more arrow before they discovered his position.

The snowflakes were still floating in the forest, and the wind seemed to have become smaller because of the battle here.

After an unknown amount of time, a layer of snow fell on Chen Tiezhu's body and bow.

"The opportunity has come."

Chen Tiezhu quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

At this moment, a sharp pain came from his forehead, and he quickly rolled to the right.

"Boom"

A cannon sounded, and the place where he was originally staying had been swept to a corner by the gun sand.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Three more cannon sounds sounded, and Chen Tiezhu gritted his teeth and continued to roll until he rolled under a tree.

The stinging feeling not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.

He turned his body, kicked the tree trunk hard with his right foot, and the whole person flew out diagonally.

"Bang"

This time, the gunshot was crisp, and beads of sweat appeared on Chen Tiezhu's forehead.
