The Last Mecha

Chapter 58 Night Rain ([-]) ([-] in [-])

On May 5, a golden sun knocked through the clouds and swayed in front of the window. Before it could convey the joy of new life to the world, it was immediately covered by lead gray dark clouds.

The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind was blowing from afar, enveloping a heart-wrenching chill.

On the contrary, the gloomy weather made the business of Tiger Stove more prosperous. After all, it was a good deal to wash off the cold with two copper plates.The white paper lantern of the "Clear Water Soup Pot" swayed in the wind against the cloudy sky, looking like a lighthouse from a distance.

Shopkeeper Liu, who was bald and bearded, stared at a pair of scary tiger eyes, which were so sharp that they seemed to want to pierce the clouds.

Thinking of the incident a month ago, he couldn't help but feel ominous.The person who secretly used the smelting machine he bought has not yet been found, so that his plan to smuggle Qi metal had to be postponed again and again, in case he had just contacted the buyer in the first step, and the government who received the report on the second step came to the door.

Shopkeeper Liu has done a lot of research, but he has no clue as to the identity of the person behind the scenes.

The money bank that secretly borrowed money has come to ask for it several times, and he reckoned that if he waited a little longer, it would not be such a simple matter to ask for it, and he had no way out.

Suddenly, several exclamations came from the mouth of the simple soup not far away, followed by a burst of rough curses.

"what happened?"

Shopkeeper Liu frowned and looked over.

After a while, the clerk of Tiger Stove came up panting, "Suddenly, some soups turned into cold water, and it couldn't be heated after a long time. I guess the No. [-] water boiler down there is out of order."

"Mom, it's raining all night, isn't it?"

Shopkeeper Liu spat on the bottom of his feet, turned around and unlocked the door and walked to the boiler room behind the storage room. Sure enough, one of the big guys that were steaming was completely silent.

He approached, and after a while, he realized that the water heater was not broken, but it was set to a timer for some reason.

Shopkeeper Liu raised his head, brushed the back of his broad and thick hand across his forehead, and opened his eyes just in time to see a piece of paper sandwiched by the knob.

He stretched out two fingers, pinched the yellow paper folded in half, and found that it was a letter.

There was a thunder, and the blue lightning fell, carving intricate lines under the gray sky.

There was a sound of dripping water, and passers-by on the side of the road looked up, only to see the drizzle falling into the sky.

The Hardware Street in the east of Jiangsong City was deserted and deserted, with the torrential rain pouring down. Few pedestrians wrapped their coats tightly and walked with their heads shrunk in the cold current that lasted for two days.

Seeing the terrible weather, many shops would choose to patronize at such a time, and they would choose to close their doors to seek leisure in front of the fire.

The street was dark, except for Li Xing's shop, which didn't have a signboard, where orange candles flickered, blending into the wind and cloud outside the window through the gap in the rolling shutter door.

Li Dongshun sat in front of the candlestick, with a scar on his eyelid that was about to hurt Zhuzhu.

He held a small knife in his round arm and polished it on the iron block until it became brighter. Two companions were left half lying on the tiger-skin sofa leaking cotton, and one of them was snoring like thunder.

With a crisp sound of "Dang", Li Dongshun slammed the knife hard on the iron block, which scared the snoring Zhang Fan to sit up in a jerk, subconsciously trying to grab the kitchen knife in the gap.

"Why are you excited? There's no big promise." Li Dongshun snorted out of his nasal cavity angrily.

"Ouch, brother Shun, why are you scaring me by saying that it's nothing to do? Sleeping in heavy rain is so comfortable."

Zhang Fan scratched his head, and glanced at the wind and rain drifting in from outside.

"Fan Baozi, let me tell you, don't be heartless all day long, the seven of us are all from the village of Niqian, and we suffered a military disaster in August [-]st. Once we suffered, we also carried the hardships together, and we lived our lives." Friendship, now two people died for no reason, don't act like a fucking person all day long."

"Brother Shun, I don't like to hear what you say." Zhang Fan sat upright, his eyes darkened, "Who acts like a normal person all day long? I found the beggar in the Spring Gang to inquire about news, Lai Zi I also buried the corpses of the thin monkey and the brothers who walked together in the wind and rain, who is not uncomfortable? Isn’t there no news yet? What else can I do? Take a knife and go out and fuck the mother Pedestrians on the side of the road cut off one when they see it? Draw a fucking prize?"

"If you have that kind of heart, really do it, brother and you, at the beginning we agreed to get rich and die together, but at worst, we will die and die together. What we are doing is a business condemned by God. If it weren't for eating and gaining strength , I don’t even bother to take on the work of thugs and flower tickets.”

"Can you be reasonable? Don't vent your anger on me if you have an unknown fire in your heart. If you have the ability, you can vent your anger to the iron tiger above! It's like I didn't do anything."

"Yes, you are contributing, only your own effort, and there is no other expression. Just like this time, you built a grave and looked around. Do you think you have done everything you can do? Just lie here After a good night's sleep, look at this rainy day, Ao Cheng and the frog are still running outside, risking being slaughtered, the louse hasn't closed his eyes for a week, what about you?!"

With a loud bang, Zhang Fan grabbed the water tank at hand and smashed it on the ground, splashing brightly boiling water all over the ground.

"I fucking respect your age and call you brother! Don't push your feet! Oh, I don't sleep, I shake around all day long, can Laizi and the others survive? What are the benefits besides increasing the risk, people In the dark we are in the light, you have to let the brothers die a few more, right?"

"Yo, Zhang Da debates, well said, really good." Li Dongshun laughed dryly twice, and poked his rough fingers in mid-air, "I understand the truth, but I just want to know, How can you fall asleep so peacefully, you bastard? "

"I'm fucking asleep, or I'll be so sick that I'm waiting for someone to fuck me?"

The third person on the sofa sat up suddenly, with a pair of skinny hands resting on the shoulders of the two who were about to burst into flames. The man nicknamed Lousehead had swollen eyeballs and looked tired.

"Okay, let's get rid of the fire. We don't feel good when Lai Zi and Shouhou are dead. Brother Shun, don't get angry. You are also a little bit out of shape. I know you have always kept the pain in your heart, but you have to show it." Take it easy, brothers."

"Think about it, the murderer couldn't be found, and we were in the open, but no one left Li Xing's shop, why? It's just that I can't swallow this breath, that damned bastard, even if I die, I won't die. You have to bite him to death with one mouth!"

After the louse head said a few words, the two people who were about to erupt gradually calmed down. Li Dongshun let out a long sigh and listened to the sound of the falling rain. There was an extra palm-sized kraft paper bag.

He got up and went forward, picked up the thing, and found a letter inside.

……

Shopkeeper Liu violently grabbed the pen-holder-shaped breath machine, and the veins on his muscular arms bulged.

There was a faint blue light on the surface of the thing, bound with several layers of iron fists, and red, green, yellow, and green lines four as thick as little fingers extended from the tail, all the way to the ground outside the house.It is only a decade since Milligan's inventor created this long-distance communication device.

The high price and the call mode that requires Qi pairing make it more like a super long-distance luxury walkie-talkie, so it is not popular in this era.

Shopkeeper Liu has always kept one, in order to be able to contact someone in an emergency.

Under the bursts of busy calls that no one answered, he glanced at the light rain falling outside the window, his toes in cowhide shoes kept touching the ground, and his expression was very irritable.

After half a ring, the sound of not waking up came from the other side of the microphone.

"Hey, Qiangdong, you are so fucking slow to sleep with women, it's me! You can't hear Liu Mingye's voice.... I don't have time to talk to you, listen to me carefully, I'm being targeted by flies."

"The gang at the Li Xing shop in the east of the city are masters who eat people and don't spit out their bones. I don't know where I found out about our smelting machine. They probably did the weird thing a month ago. Now they are probably at a loss. I'm sorry, if you don't pay, you will report to the government."

"Okay, that's the situation. I've explained everything to you... Me? Then there's no need to ask. I can't swallow this breath. I have to make a decision."

"I know that no major incident has been committed yet, and it is useless for them to report to officials, but what about in the future? Aren't we going to break the rules of heaven? What should we do if those rotten bastards rely on them? It's a matter of losing their heads. If they don't After cleaning up, we don't want to do anything in the future... Don't be kidding, we owe so much debt, just tell me what else we can do."

"Stay honestly in Jinmen. It's okay. I'll smelt metal and you find the source of the goods. Now the problem is on my side. I don't want you to help me. I'm calling you to let me know. It will come out within three days. In the end, in case something happened to me, I told you about the place where the machine was made, and it’s up to you whether you want to continue to make it.”

"Don't talk nonsense to me. When we were transported by sea, you were the one who blocked the knife for me... I know I saved you too. I mean, we are both settled now, and no one owes the other. , there is no need to wade through this muddy water. Just like this, I also let those little bastards know that a boat is not enough to go by sea, what is a real bandit!"

After Liu Mingye finished speaking, he slammed the Qi pager on the ground. He straightened his back and walked towards the innermost small room of the Tiger Stove. After opening the door, the pungent smell of gunpowder hit his head like a sea wave.

Double-barreled shotguns, several boxes of high ammunition stacked neatly, soil bombs with ceramic shells, vicious hunting knives with blood tanks...

He counted the things in front of him one by one, his thick knuckles knocked on the floor with an iron sound, and he muttered something.

"Tai Sui broke ground on his head, dare to fuck me, I can't kill you chickens."

……

"Clear water soup bowl? Have you heard of this place? He said we tied up his brother's daughter."

Li Dongshun raised his eyebrows, and raised the paper in his hand at the two companions beside him.

"Isn't Jiang Song's Tiger Stove called by this name? There are too many. However, this person has said that he is called Liu Mingye. I'll find out if I look it up."

Zhang Fan let out a cold voice from the root of his teeth. Now that he knew the name of his enemy, he wished he could find him right away and chop him up.

"Wait." Lousehead stopped the two of them with a feeble call, "Why did this man sneak out after killing the mangy man and the skinny monkey, and then suddenly came out by himself after two weeks of silence. Could it be that he used a knife to kill?"

"What the hell is that bastard thinking, as long as he agrees, we'll accept the move." Zhang Fan's voice was dark, "First kill that Liu Mingye, then investigate his enemies, and then Kill those people together, no difference!"

"No!" This sentence came from Li Dongshun's mouth, his pair of jet-black beads were burning hot and fierce, "If...if he is really the bastard who killed the mangy man and the skinny monkey, why would he dare to show his face to us now? Is this a declaration of war?"

The three of them fell silent at the same time, and the next second, the same idea appeared in everyone's mind.

"Damn it, Ao Cheng and the frog are still outside!"

The rumbling thunder fell, and the blue lightning illuminated the gray sky, and also lit up the yellowed calendar on the wall.

1692 5 Month 23 Day.

"Boom!"

A shadow fell on the half-closed rolling shutter door of Li Xing's shop, and from the unclosed place, one could see a pair of cowhide shoes with muddy bottoms.

The three of them stood up abruptly, holding their swords tightly in each hand. Li Dongshun bit his lip, and with his sweat-drenched arm, he drew a bastard pistol under the table.

However, the pair of legs blocked by the rolling shutter limply collapsed, and the person outside the door was completely tilted, revealing a face covered in blood and stains.

"Makoto!"

Zhang Fan let out a roar, and ran away without thinking.

"Wait! Rice bag!"

The louse head roared after him, but Zhang Fan didn't hear it, and pulled the rolling door tightly with both hands to lift it up.

The rain column smashed his face, and Zhang Fan stared blankly at the broken Ao Cheng, and the flash of fire in the dark sky.

"boom!"

The pale gunpowder smoke was quickly dispersed by the heavy rain, and a bowl-sized blood hole appeared on Zhang Fan's chest, pink blood sprayed all over the floor, and red and purple viscera and minced meat were scattered everywhere .

Two lines of blood and tears ran across his cheeks, and he fell with his head up.

Outside the shop, Liu Mingye was holding the barrel of the shotgun he had modified, with a pipe hanging from the corner of his mouth, the ammunition like hemp rope was strung together and looped twice around his shoulders, the hunting knife on his waist gleamed in the rain Cold light.

"My day is your grandma!"

Li Dongshun raised his hand and raised his gun, and the orange-red flames flashed several times in the night, but Liu Mingye retreated behind the wall as before, and the tattered copper rusted signboard shook twice and fell to the ground.

After these shots were empty, Liu Mingye gritted his teeth, turned around and aimed a shot at the dimly lit room. Li Dongshun was hit by a stray bullet on the shoulder, and the sound of porcelain shattering resounded in his ears, and the debris and wooden boards almost drowned him.

"Hey!"

Liu Mingye only felt a sudden heat in his lower abdomen, and then two stars appeared in front of his eyes. He lowered his head and saw that there was a small knife submerged in three inches on his stomach, and the eyes of the louse who quietly walked around the door were blazing with revenge.

"Your mother—"

His thick fingers grabbed a few ammunition around his waist and were about to stuff it into the barrel of the gun, but Lice Head obviously wouldn't give him this chance. He let out a roar, and his whole body flew like a wolf. entangled together.

Both of them had no background in martial arts. The louse bit off a piece of flesh on Liu Mingye's shoulder with one bite. Blood gushed out and was splashed all over his body by the rain. In the midst of pain and shock, Liu Mingye slammed his elbow hard on the louse's head, and the latter spurted out There was a stream of blood, and without even thinking about it, he grabbed the handle of the knife on Liu Mingye's lower abdomen and stirred it with all his strength.

A stream of blood gushed out from Liu Mingye's throat, and he immediately realized what was going on. He reached for the hunting knife with his left hand, and stabbed hard at the back of the louse's head.

"Death to Laozi!"

The voices of the two were covered by the torrential rain.
