Chapter 98: Bandits blocking the road, gunshots

Li Qinxue's position was removed, and the next scorer to come up will definitely be carefully selected by Secretary Chen, who has suffered losses before.

The city's grain supply has been approved, and Su Heng finally managed to deal with this person before the grain was distributed. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Heng did not pay much attention to the subsequent events. He only knew that Li Qinxue had embezzled a lot of money in recent years and was directly sent to a labor camp, where he would not be released for more than ten years.

Director Zeng from the commune also seemed to have been caught in the act and was probably going to be dismissed.

But the Li family could not return the money they had embezzled, and in recent years, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Li family's house, especially from those families whose work points had been tampered with, who wanted to tear down the Li family's house.

The new scorekeeper was carefully selected by Secretary Chen. His surname was also Chen, and his name was Chen Guoan, a conscientious young man.

When grain was delivered from the city, he was keeping accounts on the side. Many villagers gathered around him and stared at him, but he was patient and didn't say anything.

But it was still obvious from the beads of sweat on his forehead that he was very nervous. In the end, it was Secretary Chen who dispersed the people who surrounded him.

The team has been busy again recently because not only wheat, but also sorghum, corn and other things need to be collected.

Those who are required to pay the public grain must pay the public grain, and those who are required to save the seeds must save the seeds, and only then can the grain be distributed.

Their brigade had a bumper harvest this year, and work points were very valuable, with each work point worth fifty cents.

The 1,000 work points that Su Heng was awarded were exchanged for more than 300 kilograms of grain.

Although more than 100 kilograms of it were coarse grains such as sorghum rice and cornmeal, she thought it was pretty good.

The remaining work points were exchanged for more than two hundred yuan.

This is the practice of a family with a small population like hers. Most families have a lot of work points and a large population, and even if all the work points are exchanged for food, it is still not enough to feed everyone.

But this year's work points are valuable, so I guess I won't have to go hungry anymore.

In addition to collecting a portion of the free public grain, the commune also purchases some grain from each brigade.

The grain is valuable this year, and the brigade’s purse is rich again.

For a moment, everyone in the group had unstoppable smiles on their faces.

Su Heng returned home with the food. The yard was still very quiet, in stark contrast to the outside.

She was a little worried because Lu Mingchuan had not returned yet and it had been almost twenty days.

Why did you take so long? I hope something didn't happen...

At night, Su Heng suddenly felt a palpitation and woke up from her dream.

She couldn't explain it, and didn't remember what she dreamed about, but she just felt uneasy for no reason.

The night was as dark as ink, with a few scattered stars hanging in the sky and dark clouds covering the moon.

It was a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson.

In the evening, Ren Dacheng was driving when the car suddenly made a "bang" sound. He thought it was a flat tire.

On this return trip, the car was loaded with cargo, and the load was too heavy, so a tire blowout was possible.

But when Lu Mingchuan got out of the car and took a look, he saw that there were several caltrops piercing the tire.

There is no village or shop nearby, and there is a roadblock in the wilderness.

He immediately knew that things were not simple.

After quickly getting in the car and grabbing his gear, Lu Mingchuan yelled to Ren Dacheng, "Brother Ren, quickly grab the spare tire and gear. I'll help you change the tire. It's not safe here. We need to leave!"

Ren Dacheng immediately understood: "Okay!"

Long-distance buses are equipped with tools. Lu Mingchuan helped him put on the jack and then stood guard with a gun in hand.

There was no cover on the road, but there were trees on both sides, and their situation was at an absolute disadvantage.

Time passed minute by minute, and Ren Dacheng anxiously turned the wrench.

Lu Mingchuan had a serious expression, his handsome brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the increasingly darkening sky and the dim forest.

The worst situation has happened. There is an ambush over there!

"Don't change, brother, come out and get into the woods!"

If they continue to stay here, they will become sitting ducks. Although the situation in the forest on the other side is unknown, at least there is cover.

Ren Dacheng didn't stay long. What he had experienced along the way made him obey Lu Mingchuan's words 100%.

As soon as Lu Mingchuan finished speaking, his strong desire to survive made him climb out from under the car at a speed that was inconsistent with his usual agility and run towards the woods on the other side.

Lu Mingchuan followed behind to cover him.

As they moved, there was indeed a noise in the woods, and a dozen men holding sticks rushed out from the darkness.

Some people quickly climbed onto the car to search for the goods.

Seeing them abandon the car and flee, he actually chased after them.

"Chase! There are only two of them!"

The two groups immediately started chasing each other in the forest.

Suddenly, there was a "bang".

Ren Dacheng was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Brother, did you shoot? We don't have any extra bullets, you better save them!"

How could Lu Mingchuan not know this? He pulled Ren Dacheng over a slope and quickly found shelter.

"Not me."

"Damn it, this group of people is simply lawless!" Ren Dacheng's hands were shaking.

Lu Mingchuan was already lying behind a rock, searching for the man with a gun.

"Hurry up and chase it, there's a huge truck on board! If we can take it, we'll be safe for the rest of our lives!"

Someone in the crowd encouraged.

As the group of people approached, Lu Mingchuan saw a middle-aged man carrying a gun in the crowd.

It was an old hunting rifle, and luckily it was the only one the group had.

Lu Mingchuan was carrying a pistol. He waited for the man to get closer before taking action.

"Bang--"

The bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the thigh of the man holding the shotgun at high speed. He fell to the ground instantly.

The group of people panicked and shouted, "It's a tough guy, he has real weapons!"

"Hurry, find cover and hide!" someone commanded.

The fallen person was dragged away. Someone tried to pick up the man's gun, but was also shot in the leg and fell to the ground.

The man was pulled away by his companions, and no one dared to pick up the gun anymore.

In just a moment, the offense and defense changed!

"I'll cover you, you go pick up that hunting rifle." Lu Mingchuan said to Ren Dacheng.

He only had eight bullets, while there were more than a dozen people on the opposite side. If the opponent was really so desperate, they would be at a disadvantage.

You have to know that the cargo on the truck is enough to buy many people's lives.

Ren Dacheng's legs were shaking a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I'm counting on you!"

After saying that, he rushed out. Sure enough, there was someone behind the woods who couldn't hold back and wanted to rush out waving an iron rod.

This is the wilderness. If you kill someone and bury them in the woods, no one will be able to find them.

Besides, there are only two people in the car, and they can be killed by exhaustion.

Once they are dealt with and this batch of goods is consumed, they won’t have to worry about their lives anymore.

This is also the reason why this group of people don't give up even though they know that there are real weapons on the other side.

Lu Mingchuan always pointed his gun at the enemy, but he never expected that one day the bullet would be used on his compatriots.

No, this group of bandits are no longer our compatriots.

However, the belief ingrained in a soldier's bones prevented him from taking someone's life directly. He could only hit them by lifting their limbs, rendering them unable to move without killing them immediately.

This group of people should be handed over to the public security department for disposal.

"Bang--"

There was another sound, and the man who rushed out fell to the ground, covering his arm.

Unexpectedly, the same voice shouted again: "Let's charge out together! He's alone, he can't beat us!"

Ren Dacheng did not retreat after hearing this, but gritted his teeth and rushed towards the hunting rifle.

They don’t have many bullets left. If the other side picks up this gun again, they might really be finished today.
