The old woman's forehead gushed blood, and she fell backward into the house.
Once he made his move, Zhang Cheng disregarded gender and age. He had already exerted his utmost restraint; otherwise, no one would have escaped having their necks broken.
They pulled out the inferior cotton and stuffed it into Wang Jingang's mouth, then tied up his wife as well.
With his hunting rifle slung over his shoulder and three bullets in hand, Zhang Cheng walked out of the courtyard and closed the gate behind him.
Silently.
Zhang Cheng tied up the villagers of Wang Village one by one and abandoned them in a corner.
More than half an hour later, he strode into the Wangcun Ancestral Hall, carrying two loaded hunting rifles.
"Zhang Ergouzi?"
"Damn it, you bunch of Zhang family bastards!"
"Zhang Ergouzi, what are you doing?"
Only eight people remained in the ancestral hall. Apart from Wang Huanchun, they all stared nervously at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly.
"Your Highness, have Wang Jian and Wang Weiguo kneel in the Zhang family ancestral hall for one night, and then compensate for the cut-down fruit trees. Then this matter will be over."
"Zhang Ergouzi, you're talking nonsense!" a burly man shouted angrily, his face flushed.
"You only have two guns and two bullets, and you think you can kill us all? Come on, if you've got the guts, kill me first!"
"Bang!"
"ah!!!"
Black smoke billowed from the muzzle of the gun.
The shouting man rolled on the ground, screaming as he clutched his injured thigh, blood soaking through his cotton trousers.
Wang Huanchun's eyelids twitched. He stared at Zhang Cheng, who had remained expressionless throughout, and said coldly.
"Zhang Ergouzi, with your seniority, you're not qualified to talk to me. Let Zhang Xiangui come out!"
"Your Highness, I came alone."
"You came alone? Bullshit!" Wang Huanchun almost burst out laughing.
"You single-handedly took care of all the men in Wang Village?"
"right!"
"Heh!" Wang Huanchun sneered, not believing it at all.
"Your Highness, I have tied up forty-one people, and I have torn their cotton-padded coats to shreds."
I figured if they were to freeze all night, even if they didn't die, their bodies would definitely be ruined. Your Highness, you're an old revolutionary, so I won't go into the big stuff.
I'll just say one thing: if you do something wrong, you should stand up straight and take the punishment, don't act like a woman..."
Wang Huanchun was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Zhang Cheng. "Are you really the only one here?"
"Yes!" Zhang Cheng nodded.
"Good, good, good, you've got guts, you've got guts!"
Meeting Zhang Cheng's cold, emotionless eyes, Wang Huanchun felt as if he were seeing an old friend.
More than fifty years ago, that old squad leader of the New Fourth Army had the same look in his eyes when he killed Japanese soldiers.
It's like slaughtering pigs and sheep.
Wang Huanchun clenched his fists. "We'll compensate for the fruit trees. But, it's impossible for Wang Jian and Wang Weiguo to kneel in your village ancestral hall all night!"
Zhang Cheng's lips curled slightly. "So there's no room for negotiation?"
Wang Huanchun stated firmly, "There's no room for negotiation!"
