Chapter 107 Encountering an old acquaintance in a foreign land [Tao Xi's past 1]

Tao Xi held a shovel in one hand and held a leather bag full of precious stones in his waist, panting and complaining to Akesha.

"Luck doesn't favor fools!"

"Maybe you're a fool!"

With a bitter face, Aksha turned his head and glanced at the potholes everywhere, and he already began to question the knowledge he had learned in college.

"The Antero Mountains have a typical monsoon climate. Due to the high altitude of the mountain, the south of the Antero Mountains has little rain and is very dry all year round. If it is not for the reason of greening, it is likely to be a desert. The north of the mountains is due to the airflow. The reason is that there are often some thunderstorms or heavy rains, and the dense swamps at the foot of the mountain and the distribution of gemstone veins on the mountainside prove that this place was probably an active volcano as early as 10000 years ago!"

"My teacher once told me that in class!"

"The confluence of the Antero Mountains and the Rocky Mountains is the most likely place for oil and gemstones."

Holding a map in his hand, Aksha went around to the top of the canyon, overlooking the surrounding geographical environment, and said shiningly: "Although my luck is not very good, the gems you dug out have already told me that my The teacher is right."

"If it weren't for my teacher not coming to class for almost three months, maybe I would be more prepared this time."

Tao Xi frowned and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared behind Aksha and did not answer.

But Akesha, who didn't notice the situation behind him at all, found that Tao Xi didn't hate him like before, and Akesha became more and more excited: "My teacher is missing! Recently, the police are also looking for them. I said that he really wanted to come to Antero Mountain to see it for himself, my first purpose this time was to dig gems, and the second purpose was to see if I could see my teacher here."

Tao Xi couldn't help but gasp when he saw the muzzle of a black gun pressed against the back of Aksha's head!
He was careless, it must have been discovered by these two people when they were roasting turkey last night, and Tao Xi saw smoke coming from both of them from a long distance away.

Obviously, these two people must have discovered the two of them last night!

In order to observe the strength of Tao Xi and the others, the two robbers insisted on hiding in the bushes under the cold wind and temperature of the mountain top, and their clothes were soaked in the morning dew.

Now the two of them emitted "smoke" because the water vapor on their bodies began to evaporate because of the rising sun.

"Hey! Bring the gem in your hand here! If you don't want this rookie to die." Roselle held the gun in his left hand against the back of Aksha's head, and gave Tao Xi the middle finger of his right hand with a calm expression. He signaled Tao Xi to throw over the cowhide bag containing gems in his hand.

Instead, Klein swiftly took all the gems he had distributed from Tao Xi last night from Akesha's pocket.

Tao Xi looked at Akesha and then at Klein, who had been silent all this time. He didn't say anything, but pretended to inadvertently lower his head to look for something, but Klein was very wary of Tao Xi, and he was straightforward at Tao Xi's feet one shot.

"Don't play tricks! I know you are very powerful! Bring the gems, and I will let you two go!"

Tao Xi sighed helplessly when he heard this sentence and walked slowly towards the top of the canyon. Aksha looked at Klein with red eyes and felt the cold muzzle of the gun with the back of his head. Pushing Roselle hard behind him, he hugged Klein next to him and shouted at Tao Xi: "Tao Xi! Run! Remember the road my father said? Run quickly! "

After reacting, Klein punched Akesha so badly, but the rabbit would still bite when he was in a hurry.

What's more, Akesha is a college student. Akesha opened his mouth and bit down on Klein's arm. Roselle just wanted to raise his gun to Akesha, but when he saw it, Klein first took a look. Tao Xi, who was nearly 10 meters away, shouted at Roselle: "Don't kill anyone!"

When Roselle heard his brother-in-law's words, he snorted coldly and pointed at the back of Aksha's head for a moment.

Klein pushed away Akesha who had fainted in his arms, wiped the blood-stained arm bitten by the college student nonchalantly, and stared at Tao Xi firmly.

"You're afraid of me!" Tao Xi stopped moving three meters away from Klein and said coldly to Klein.

Klein stared coldly at Tao Xi's face as if he was seriously remembering something, but Roselle who was at the side couldn't bear it long ago and rushed towards Tao Xi with his gun raised.

Roselle raised the pistol in his hand and just approached Tao Xi less than one meter away, when his brother-in-law Klein suddenly shouted at him: "Don't go over!"

Tao Xi saw that the opportunity had come, so how could he give these two people a chance.

Tao Xi first raised his hand and kicked Roselle's wrist holding the gun. Roselle's wrist hurt, and the pistol fell to the ground without grabbing it.

Immediately afterwards, Tao Xi bent down against Roselle's chest and rushed three steps before picking up the pistol that fell on the ground.

Klein was instantly stunned when he saw Tao Xi's smooth "unarmed spear-grabbing technique", and Klein quickly remembered where this immature face and his "fear" from the bottom of his heart came from. And up!
"Fxxk! You crazy dog! You ruined my boxing match, and you want to ruin my family!" Klein saw Taoxi was about to pull the trigger with one hand, and Klein pulled the pistol in his hand first.

"Fxxk! You bloody parasites!"

"You bedbugs that came out of the sewers, in order to avoid you, I went back to Denver three years ago and hid in the mountains!"

"That way I can meet you! Damn blood gang! Damn Koreatown boxing match! Damn mad dog!"

Klein kept uttering all kinds of dirty words around the fainted Akesha, and Roselle, who had his pistol taken away, also changed from despair at the beginning to a question mark on his face now.

Tao Xi was also confused by Klein's operation, but when he saw that Klein's right ear was missing half!
Tao Xi immediately remembered his first fight in the underground boxing match in Koreatown. His first opponent was the gold medalist [Saixi] from the Southern Brotherhood!
[Saixi] means "King of Fighting" in Bolivian. At that time, [Saisi], who was full of tendons, KO'd Tao Xi with three moves. Tao Xi, who had just debuted, suffered an unprecedented blow at that time. That was the time he was cleaned up by Bolton himself.

For this reason, Tao Xi humbly studied martial arts and fighting skills for three months. During those three months, the Southern Brotherhood led by the priest also relied on the name of "Saixi" to trample the blood gang who was in full swing. Couldn't lift my head for three months.

When Tao Xi stepped into the ring for the second time, he signed for the life-and-death competition. Tao Xi remembered very clearly what Bolton said to him when he stepped into the ring.

"If you die this time, I will let Marco and Hill grow up well."

"Remember, don't think that once you know me, you have the capital to do evil. Life and death are life and death."

Tausi's godfather, Bolton, signed a check for $86 million in Prison No. 100 in front of him after he finished speaking.

Three months of fighting experience made it impossible for Tao Xi to fight against the ever-victorious general [Sai Xi] in Koreatown at that time, but under the education of various death-row inmates in Prison 86, the second sentence Tao Xi learned was " Fight with your life!"
Tao Xi, who had just entered the ring, was knocked down in less than 30 seconds. In fact, Tao Xi couldn't quite remember how he turned defeat into victory.

At that time, his eyes were foggy, and all he could see around him were the blood gang members and the southern fraternity members who were pointing at him and shouting at him outside the barbed wire!
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tao Xi actually saw his godfather Bolton! ! !

The disappointment in Bolton's eyes made Tao Xi feel cold. He just wanted to live at that time. There was no winning or losing in the life-and-death competition, only life and death. Tao Xi struggled to stand up just like that fool of Aksha just now. He fell on [Saixi] who was waving around the barbed wire!
Tao Xi can't remember the memories three years ago, and Tao Xi is unwilling to recall his most unfortunate period, but he misses the period when he grew up the fastest.

At the end of the life-and-death fight, Tao Xi didn't remember what happened to [Sai Xi].

But every member of the Blood Gang would jokingly say to him when they met him: "Tao Xi, you are also a little guy with a life in your hands."

It was this sentence that made Tao Xi instinctively avoid his first victory, the time when the Southern Brotherhood was besieged by the entire Los Angeles Blood Gang.

Since then, the young and energetic Blood Gang will provoke each time: "Where's your Sisi?"

This is also one of the reasons why Tao Xi met the "priest" in San Francisco, but when Klein appeared again with half of his ears missing, Tao Xi still felt a little unbelievable.

"Sissi?"

When Klein heard Tao Xi's words with a doubtful voice, Klein jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Oh! Damn it! I forgot, you are the godson of the Blood Gang! Then A group of damned guys kicked me out of the United States in order to clear your name, if it wasn't for you, I would have bought my sister a villa in Beverly Hills, where would my sister get this robber!"

Tao Xi let go of Roselle with the corner of his mouth curled up and said happily, "Are you still alive?"

Klein rolled his eyes and looked at the "enemy" who had bitten off half of his ear. Hearing this sentence, half of his "fear" and "nervousness" were vented instantly.

A boxing match is a boxing match, and the grievances of a boxing match will not be taken off the stage, and he was fighting a life-and-death fight at that time. If it weren't for the words of a big man from the blood gang, he, a small man who survived the ring by luck And it's not like leaving L.A. with just a scar on his face.

"Rosell! Give up, if you don't want to be issued a warrant by members of the blood gang, then give up."

"If we offend the police and federal agents, we might be able to hide in Africa or South America, but if we offend the Blood Gang, those damn Colombian dog legs will go crazy and look for us!"

Klein walked up to Tao Xi with a cold face and stretched out his left fist with his hands covering his head as before.

Seeing this, Tao Xi also shot back: "Hahaha! It's really you! I died because of you, and I still feel guilty for a long time."

"Thanks to you! I'm still alive!" Klein replied awkwardly, pointing to the pistol under his feet and the gemstone he just snatched from Akesha in his pocket.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Tao Xi kicked Russell heavily to signal him to roll aside, and then Tao Xi threw the pistol on the ground to Klein: "What a coincidence! What a coincidence! We The two are old acquaintances who met in another land."

"Hmph! If it wasn't for the bad night last night, I couldn't see your face clearly, I definitely wouldn't have come."

Klein's words were softened by Tao Xi, but Tao Xi didn't care about it. Instead, he happily put his arms around Klein and asked him about his experiences in recent years. As for the cheap brother-in-law Roselle, he was sent by Tao Xi to take care of him. Aksha is gone.

"What? [Antero Hunter Gang] disbanded! Your bosses have all run away!"

Klein lowered his head and looked for some toiletries from Akesha's backpack to keep himself tidy, and replied nonchalantly: "Amar has already run away! He ran away when the crime happened, I think he must know something .”

"Then do you know where he went?"

Klein held a piece of frozen chicken breast and beef jerky in his hand, frowned and thought for a long time before replying, "It should be on the mountain, and it is very difficult to search for it, and the most important criminals on this mountain are more dangerous than those in Denver." There are many homeless people in the city, if the police come, I don’t know if I can go back.”

When Tao Xi heard this sentence, he became energetic in an instant: "Does that mean you are familiar with this mountain?"

"My time in Denver is not as long as my time digging gems on the mountain. You say I am familiar with it, and there are a lot of strange things on the mountain recently."

"The source of the Rio Grande has been diverted, and the rainy season in the Antero Mountains has not come! Many gem hunters say that this is God's punishment for them. The gemstones in the Antero Mountains have been dug out. !"

"However, the gem trade on the black market has indeed dropped a lot recently, and many people have started digging for gems near the Rocky Mountains."

Klein's answer was very clear, so clear that something unpredictable was involved. Tao Xi never believed in these things, but Tao Xi did not express his opinion without authorization, but threw his two days' gains in the Klein's hands.

"Be my guide, I need you, and you need this money, don't you?" Tao Xi pointed to Roselle who was squatting next to Aksha and counting the gems. Klein saw the gems that Tao Xi casually took out It turned out to be more gems than they had robbed for a month, and the corner of Klein's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"This is a gem worth nearly 7 dollars, are you sure?"

"You've been staring at me all morning, you have to trust my luck!" Tao Xi immediately handed the shovel in front of him to Klein to signal him to dig a few times.

Klein has already seen Tao Xi's luck, but when Klein dug nearly 20 potholes in a row but failed to find anything, Klein picked up the gemstone that Tao Xi had randomly placed under his feet and said, "It's really amazing." It makes people angry! Your luck is better than mine, your background is higher than mine, ordinary people like me can't live."

"Hahahaha! Welcome to my team!"
