Although Li Yuan was just a low-class gangster, he also considered himself a well-known figure among this group of younger brothers. He was criticized in public in front of the whole town and immediately became angry and embarrassed.
But no matter how angry he was, this was not the place where he could show off his power. Due to the majesty and intimidation of the soldiers, he could only be angry in his heart but not speak out.
Being stared at by everyone with contempt made the crew cut uncomfortable, ashamed and embarrassed, with a lot of resentment in his heart——
Their boss got to eat four legs of lamb anyway, but he didn't even get a single bite of the lamb that was right in front of him. He was also criticized for the first time in his life in front of the whole town. It was so embarrassing!
The crew cut complained in a low voice, unwilling to give up:
"Such a delicious roasted lamb was really burned and buried?! Damn, if I had known I would have taken a bite when I was discovered!"
Li Yuan stared at the direction of the medical tent with a gloomy look, and snorted coldly:
"How could they possibly have buried it? They confiscated our barbecue just as their battalion commander woke up. He's probably taking our things as a sacrifice!"
"In order to steal our things, they even made up some excuse saying that the meat was diseased and couldn't be eaten. What disease could a drowned sheep have? How come nothing happened to me after I ate it?!"
When the crew cuts heard this, their eyes widened and they all echoed:
"Boss is right! They must have taken it as tribute! Damn it! These soldiers are such bastards, stealing the flesh of ordinary people!"
Even though they cursed, they kept their voices very low, for fear of being heard by the patrolling soldiers.
Didn't the punishment say that the camp would strengthen the management of the four of them? At this time, the soldiers patrolling around them appeared much more frequently than in the previous two days, and their eyes were always wandering around the four of them.
Li Yuan was furious. How was this any different from treating them like criminals?!
The crew cut had no appetite at all. Thinking of the piece of lamb he hadn't chewed, his mouth watered with greed. He couldn't help but urge Li Yuan:
"Brother Li, then let's really listen to those soldiers and not go fishing? We brothers have worked hard for a long time to roast the meat, but we can only smell the smell and not eat a single bite of meat. How about we wait until tonight..."
Not to mention his greed for not having a bite, Li Yuan, who had eaten four lamb legs, was even more greedy. He wanted to eat more of the fragrant and sizzling barbecue after having tasted it.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Dali, who was standing in the corner and dared not speak. A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He walked over and grabbed Dali by the collar, saying viciously:
"It was you who went to retrieve the sheep, but we brothers ended up taking the blame. And you just hid aside and said nothing. Is this a fun thing to watch?!"
Dali was so frightened that he trembled, his toes raised, and he explained repeatedly:
"Brother Li, I didn't hide on purpose. I was asleep at that time and didn't know what happened..."
"Otherwise, I'll go to the chief right now and explain that I was the one who fished out the sheep, so you can calm down!"
Li Yuan tightened his fist around his collar even more, forcing the shorter Dali to stand on tiptoe again in a hurry.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?! Are you brainless?!"
"The four of us took the blame for you and have lost all our face. You have to find a way to compensate us. There's no point in going to them to explain now. Can you get the sheep back?!"
Dali hurriedly agreed in a panic:
"Compensate! I will definitely compensate! Brother Li, whatever you tell me to do, I will do it!"
Li Yuan finally let go of his hand and pushed Dali to the ground, venting his inner anger:
"Go again tonight!"
......
After waking up, Lu Zhan was able to drink water on his own. Ma Jun and others who came after hearing the news looked at him with concern, and each of them had a lot to say to him.
Liu Jincai was the first one who couldn't help but asked:
"Battalion Commander, what exactly happened that day when we rescued Comrade Chen? Was it really a bear that attacked you?"
The conclusion that there was a black bear on the mountain was just an inference made by everyone based on the howling of the beast heard that day and the wounds on Lu Zhan's body. No one had seen what the black bear looked like with their own eyes. This question had been in Liu Jincai's mind for three days. He really couldn't imagine what kind of ferocious beast could injure Captain Lu like this.
Lu Zhan frowned slightly and nodded, thinking back to the scene that day, it was really a life-or-death experience.
The cunning black bear deliberately made him think that it was going to attack the girl, and when he relaxed his protection, it suddenly turned around and gave him a sudden and heavy blow.
The strong blow from the bear's paw almost made Lu Zhan lose consciousness. He flew out like a kite with a broken string and hit a tree.
Before he could react, the black bear rushed up again and slapped him on the chest. The huge weight instantly broke his ribs. The pain made him gasp for air. He felt as if his lungs were torn apart, and his breathing made a hollow wheezing sound.
At that moment, Lu Zhan almost thought that he was going to die under the bear's paw. As long as it pressed down harder, his broken ribs would be dislocated and then inserted into his soft internal organs, and he would immediately die from massive internal bleeding.
He had never felt so close to death before. The pain in his body was no longer the most painful part of the dying process. An unprecedented feeling of extreme coldness, emptiness and weightlessness spread from his chest to his whole body. His consciousness began to slowly dissipate, and the terrifying appearance of the huge black bear with its bloody mouth opened gradually became blurred in front of his eyes.
When he had used up all his strength and could no longer breathe a breath of fresh air into his lungs, he felt the soil beneath him begin to soften, and he seemed to be sinking into it, feeling drowsy.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded anxiously in his ears:
"Lu Zhan! You can't sleep! Wake up! Open your eyes!"
He was stunned for a moment, trying to piece together the scattered thoughts in his mind. How could he hear Shao Jingque's voice at this time?
It took me a second to realize that this was probably an illusion that occurs before a person dies.
However, it would be nice to hear her voice before I die, and it would be even better if I could see her again...
Lu Zhan thought of Shao Jingque, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his blood-stained mouth.
The next second, Shao Jingque's anxious cry was heard:
"I told you not to sleep, did you hear me? Don't give up! Feel around again, the dagger is right to your left! Pick it up and stab it in the eye! Stab it in the eye..."
He subconsciously moved his left hand, and his fingertips actually touched a hard object - it was his dagger!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Zhan suddenly felt his chest relax, and almost at the same time he couldn't wait to take a deep breath, and his nostrils were filled with the bloody and foul smell from the black bear's bloody mouth.
But it didn't matter. With just this one breath, enough air entered his lungs, allowing his brain to regain its sanity in an instant.
Shao Jingque's anxious voice disappeared from his ears, and was replaced by the deafening roar of the black bear.
He gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed with all his strength!
