As May approached, the temperature gradually rose. Gao Mingcheng was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black sweatpants and a pair of sneakers. Although he was in his twenties, he seemed to be still at the end of his youth.
He drove the tractor skillfully on the bumpy road, his body swaying with the vibration of the vehicle.
There are mostly endless mountains on both sides of the road, but on the way from the county to the village, you can also see some villages and forks in the road.
Before, when Gao Mingcheng returned to the village, he only needed to follow the national highway, turn onto the small road after reaching Junling, and then go all the way back to Gaojia Village.
But this time they were not going back to the village directly, but to find trouble with the brothers. Therefore, halfway through the journey, Gao Mingcheng turned and took another path.
After walking along the path for more than ten minutes, we saw a village in front of us.
This village is close to the road, and one of the prefabricated board factories is located on the side of the road.
Some semi-finished products were placed in a messy manner on the open space beside the road.
The factory has been sealed off, so the door is tightly closed and some valuable items inside have been taken away, leaving only worthless discarded cement semi-finished products.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the discarded semi-finished products and discovered that this factory not only made prefabricated panels, but also made some cement molds, including cast-in-place cement vases, Roman columns, diamond patterns, and blessing patterns, etc. These were all installed on the second-floor balcony to serve a decorative purpose.
This factory was originally occupied by the brothers on the pretext of losing money in gambling. Now that it has been sealed off, naturally no one is here anymore.
But Gao Guobing had already told him the address of the brothers, so he continued walking along the path, turned another corner, and after passing a camphor forest, a village appeared in front of Gao Mingcheng.
The brothers live here.
The roads in the village were narrow and it was difficult for a tractor to drive in, so Gao Mingcheng parked the car on the side of the road.
As soon as the car stopped, Lou Xinyu, who was sitting in the truck bed, jumped out immediately and also looked towards the village.
"Second brother, let's go." Lou Xinyu said eagerly.
Gao Mingcheng didn't leave in a hurry, but said to Gao Shufang: "Shufang, you stay here and guard the car, we will be back soon."
What he meant was that he didn't plan to take Gao Shufang with him.
The scene will definitely be chaotic and not suitable for girls to go there.
Lou Xinyu also immediately said: "Yes, Shufang, you just stay here."
Gao Shufang was not someone who had to join in the fun. She knew that her second brother was very good at fighting, and Lou Xinyu was, after all, a policeman who had served in the army, so she was still at ease with the two of them.
Gao Shufang nodded obediently and said, "Okay. Second brother, Xinyu, you guys should be careful too."
"Yeah." The two men responded, looked at each other, and walked towards the village.
The name of this village is Gejia Village, and the majority of its inhabitants are surnamed Ge. There is a large reservoir near the village. In later generations, this reservoir developed into a place for fishing, and a restaurant specializing in fish was also built nearby.
Of course, it is still a remote and poor village now.
Most people in this village are relatively poor, but the Ge Xinyuan brothers are an exception. They gathered a group of younger brothers and made a lot of money by opening a casino.
The prefabricated board factory previously run by Ge Xinyuan's younger brother Ge Xinqing was earned by Ge Xinyuan in the casino.
In addition, there are some other industries that were obtained through improper means.
Most of the younger brothers that Ge Xinyuan recruited were from Gejia Village. The villagers were xenophobic and protective of their own people, so it was quite difficult to teach them a lesson.
Gao Mingcheng and Lou Xinyu dared to attack with bare hands, which showed that they were extremely confident in their skills.
But after entering the village, Gao Mingcheng keenly discovered that there were not many young people in the village.
When he arrived at Ge Xinyuan's door, he found it locked. He immediately had a bad feeling.
Seeing an old farmer passing by with a hoe on his shoulder, as if preparing to go to work in the fields, Gao Mingcheng hurriedly stopped the man and asked him about Ge Xinyuan's whereabouts.
The old farmer didn't rush to talk, but first glanced up and down at Gao Mingcheng and Lou Xinyu. Seeing that there were only two of them, dressed decently, and without any sharp weapons, he retracted his vigilant gaze and said casually, "What do you want from Xinyuan?"
Gao Mingcheng said: "My brother likes to play. Not long ago, he went to play cards with his friends and lost some money. I came to Ge Xinyuan to discuss whether I can pay less."
Naturally, everyone in the village knew that Ge Xinyuan opened a casino.
Moreover, the casinos nowadays are not fixed in one place, but are mobile. They may be in this village today and in that village tomorrow.
Ge Xinyuan and his companions first went to a nearby village, then spent money to rent someone's house, and then mobilized their subordinates to call everyone who was interested in gambling.
The person who rents out the house can get some rent, and sometimes he can also sell some cigarettes, alcohol, and food, which is considered a small profit.
Hearing that they were here to ask Ge Xinyuan to pay back the money, the old farmer's eyebrows relaxed and he said in a relaxed tone: "Xinyuan and his family are out on business and are not at home this morning. You can either come in the afternoon or tomorrow."
Gao Mingcheng continued to ask: "What did he go to do? I drove here, I can go find him."
But the old farmer didn't intend to say more. He waved his hand and said, "If you say you're not at home, then you're not at home. Go away!"
After saying this, he carried his hoe and went to work in the fields.
Gao Mingcheng looked at his back and thought that he came out of the house next to Ge Xinyuan, so it seemed that they were most likely relatives.
Since the person is not here, there is no point for them to wait here. They can only come back next time.
Gao Mingcheng and Lou Xinyu looked at each other, and they walked towards the intersection tacitly.
Before he reached the tractor, Lou Xinyu suddenly said, "The factory was closed yesterday. They were not at home this morning, and there are not many young people in the village. I guess they might have gone to cause trouble for Big Brother!"
Gambling usually takes place at night, so the fact that he was not at home so early in the morning definitely had nothing to do with gambling.
Gao Mingcheng also guessed this possibility, but whether it was true or not would only be known after returning to Gaojia Village.
"Get in the car, let's go back as soon as possible." Gao Mingcheng said, and then started the tractor.
After Lou Xinyu climbed onto the truck bed, Gao Shufang immediately asked curiously, "Didn't you find anyone?"
Lou Xinyu nodded and said, "Well, they are not at home. My second brother and I guessed that they might have gone to Gaojia Village to cause trouble for my eldest brother."
When Gao Shufang heard this, she immediately became anxious.
When it comes to fighting, her elder brother is no match!
As if knowing Gao Shufang's worries, Gao Mingcheng said, "Don't worry, Gaojia Village is our home ground. Even if they have more people and more power, it will be hard to tell who will win in a fight! All right, hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"
It would be very easy for Ge Xinyuan to take people to intercept Gao Mingpeng and beat him up while Gao Mingpeng was out.
But it would be difficult to go to Gaojia Village and beat Gao Mingpeng up!
The people of Gejia Village protect their shortcomings, so does that mean the people of Gaojia Village won’t protect their shortcomings?
With the same surname and the same ancestor, people in the village are closely connected. If people from other villages come to their door to attack them, can they tolerate it?
Not to mention the young and strong, even the old, the young, the women and the children may come forward with carrying poles to kill!
Although Gao Mingcheng was not particularly worried, he still quickened his pace and headed towards Gaojia Village.
The tractor made a rumbling sound, and the overflowing black smoke also dispersed into the air. Although it was already the fastest speed, Gao Mingcheng still felt it was too slow.
Last year, he planned to buy another car this year, and he was also planning to buy a tractor. At that time, this tractor would be placed at Niuweiling. It could be used to plow the fields during the busy farming season. When the fruit was harvested, Chen Dasong and others could load the fruit and send it to the county. This would save a lot of trouble.
But now, he decided not to buy a tractor, but a mini truck!
Buy a two-row mini truck, made in China, for just over 30,000 yuan. This two-row mini truck can accommodate passengers and also carry goods.
The ones that have seats in a row are mainly used to transport goods.
At this moment, Gao Mingcheng has already thought about what model and brand to buy. After buying a micro truck, he will be able to return to the village much faster!
He hurried along the way, and when the tractor reached Xing'an Mountains, someone saw him and immediately shouted, "Mingcheng, go back to the village quickly, someone is here to beat us!"
As soon as he heard the warning, Gao Mingcheng knew that his previous guess had come true.
"Okay." Without saying anything more, Gao Mingcheng responded from afar, and the word "OK" also scattered into the air with the wind.
Soon, they went down a small slope and turned a small corner, and Gaojia Village was in front of them.
However, the first things that appeared were some fields belonging to Gaojia Village.
In May, the crops in the fields have not yet grown vigorously, but they are still green and pleasing to the eye. Birds are jumping on the branches by the roadside and flying low in the sky.
Unknown wild flowers are in full bloom, and there is a cluster of honeysuckle in the distance. The shorter honeysuckle has naturally been picked long ago, but the vines have climbed up the tree trunks and are already three or four meters above the ground. It is difficult to pick them at this height.
These scenes only flashed by in Gao Mingcheng's eyes. He looked ahead and saw that the open space at the entrance of the village was already crowded with people.
The huge crowd was clearly divided into two groups, with about a hundred people, and a fight was taking place at the moment.
Just as he thought, when Ge Xinyuan came with a group of younger brothers to attack them, the people of Gaojia Village reacted quickly and gathered together to resist the foreign enemies.
If the external enemy is stronger, it is possible to mobilize people from other surrounding villages to come and help. Because of the inconvenience of transportation now, men and women get married relatively close to each other, so the nearby villages are all related by marriage.
"Mingcheng is back!" Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes saw Gao Mingcheng and immediately shouted loudly.
And the words "Ming Cheng is back" also made all the people in Gaojia Village excited.
Ge Xinyuan is in his thirties. He is tall and strong. He is holding an iron rod and waving it, threatening the people in Gaojia Village to release Gao Mingpeng.
In order not to escalate the conflict, Ge Xinyuan even promised to only cause trouble for Gao Mingpeng, hoping that others would not meddle in his affairs.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to mind other people’s business!
With the protection of the villagers, although there was a dispute between the two sides, Gao Mingpeng was always protected behind him and was not injured.
Seeing his second brother Gao Mingcheng coming back, Gao Mingpeng felt like he had seen a savior. He immediately waved at Gao Mingcheng and shouted, "Mingcheng, this way!"
As soon as Gao Mingpeng finished speaking, Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor to the side of the road and stopped.
As the car body stopped, Lou Xinyu jumped out of the truck bed and joined the battle with Gao Mingcheng.
"Young man, I advise you to leave quickly. Ming Cheng has never lost a fight!" An old man from Gaojia Village kindly reminded Ge Xinyuan to run for his life.
"Yes, Ming Cheng is very good at fighting! Who in this area can be his opponent? It's also because Ming Cheng hasn't fought much in the past few years. You people from other villages dare to bully people from our Gaojia Village!"
"Yeah, in the past few years, who would dare to bring people to our door? Whoever dared to come, Ming Cheng would beat them half to death!"
"Ever since Ming Cheng went to the county to do business, he hasn't had many fights. I'm afraid these people don't know how powerful Ming Cheng is!"
The appearance of Gao Mingcheng was like a shot in the arm, which immediately cheered up the people of Gaojia Village.
In just a few words, the image of a fighting king was established in the hearts of the Ge Xinyuan brothers.
The two brothers looked at each other, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.
But Ge Xinyuan was not a coward. He held the iron rod tightly in his hand and looked coldly at Gao Mingcheng who was walking towards him.
Gao Mingcheng has good physical fitness, but it is not reflected in his muscles. He now has a figure that looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. However, he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt today, and the muscular lines of his arms were still fully exposed.
Under Ge Xinyuan's gaze, Gao Mingcheng came in front of him.
And when Ge Xinyuan was looking at Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng was also looking at him.
Ge Xinyuan can be said to be a somewhat clever and reckless man. He had already obtained information about Ge Xinyuan and his two brothers from Gao Guobing. Originally, Ge Xinyuan's family was very poor, and when Ge Xinyuan was in his teens, he ran away to other places to make a living.
Later, he didn't know how he learned the gambling skills, and after he came back, he started a casino business.
Relying on cheating and cooperating with others, they have made a lot of money over the years. Most of the casino owners provide loan services. They lure gamblers to borrow high-interest loans and then go bankrupt on gambling.
Those who lost in gambling had to either honestly collect the money and pay it back, or wait for them to come and collect the debt, and their methods of debt collection were very cruel.
"Ge Xinyuan? I'm the one who sealed off your factory." Gao Mingcheng's words brought the war directly to himself.
Hearing this, Ge Xinyuan's younger brother Ge Xinqing couldn't help but curse loudly: "Fuck you! Did you do this?"
Ge Xinqing also had an iron rod in his hand, and he immediately swung it at Gao Mingcheng.
If this iron rod hits the head, the person will definitely die.
However, Gao Mingcheng did not dodge. Instead, he reached out and caught the iron rod that Ge Xinqing hit him with.
When he caught the iron rod, Ge Xinqing immediately felt a force coming from it. He originally held the iron rod tightly with one hand, but after Gao Mingcheng caught the iron rod, Gao Mingcheng exerted a little force, and he staggered and almost fell.
After making a fool of himself, Ge Xinqing's face quickly turned red and he began to grasp the iron rod with both hands, trying to snatch it away.
However, Gao Mingcheng didn't take his little strength seriously at all. He exerted force again, and Ge Xinqing's body moved with his force. (End of this chapter)
