Chapter 129
No bloodshed
Next door were two kids playing happily, playing with apricot kernels. Soon Nie Weimin had won all of Erdan's kernels. Then you could hear Erdan climbing up the apricot tree and munching on the sour apricots.
After chewing out the apricot kernel, you still have to keep popping it.
"Erdan, Weimin, come in, it's time to do your homework." Chen Lina called out, and the two children ran away.
Zhang Cuihua, the young wife of Harbin Institute of Technology and a young widow from Henan, was holding her belly and crying.
Harbin Institute of Technology itself also had a dejected look on its face.
My cousin from Tacheng, whom I hadn't seen for several years, suddenly came to me and said he wanted to work in the oil industry and go down to the oil wells. When he first came, he was very excited and even greeted Chief Engineer Wang and asked his cousin to stay for a few days to learn about the situation.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was chatting about hunting today, his cousin suddenly became angry.
Not only did he hold him at knifepoint in the house and tie up his pregnant wife, he also forced him to borrow guns from all over the base and confiscated all the hunting rifles.
Although Harbin Institute of Technology didn't know what they wanted to do, by tonight, his cousin somehow let four more people in, so now there were eight people.
Each of them had a hunting rifle in their hands, and they were staring closely at the next door. Harbin Institute of Technology now guessed their purpose and they must have a grudge against Nie Gong.
"Harbin Institute of Technology, we are not afraid of death, right?" Zhang Cuihua said.
Harbin Institute of Technology was extremely nervous. He hugged the tied-up Zhang Cuihua tightly and didn't know what to say.
He didn't know what would happen tonight, nor did he know what would happen to Nie Gong's family, let alone the fate of his own family.
Since they are from the same hometown, Harbin Institute of Technology can understand what his cousin said to those people.
"Is the telephone line cut?" asked his cousin.
The other replied, "Cut it off."
"All the tires of the cars are punctured."
"It's been stabbed, but if anyone dares to go out and report it, they'll have their car overturned in the desert."
After hearing this, Harbin Institute of Technology understood that the telephone lines had been cut, and the comrades from the Armed Forces had also left their posts and returned to the mining area because today was Friday. Now even the tires of all the cars were punctured. Under the threat of his cousin, he borrowed back all the hunting rifles in the base.
So, even if a murder occurs, the base is an isolated island, and everyone can only watch these criminals escape.
Harbin Institute of Technology was extremely desperate and wanted to beg his cousin, "Cousin, you can't do this anymore. If you are willing to put down the gun, I promise you will have a good job and a family like me. Why do you have to kill people?"
"Like you? You're just a docile falcon. We look down on you." My cousin said, pulling the bolt of his gun and breathing out through his teeth.
But just then, there was a knock on the door next door.
"HIT, are you there? Why don't you open the door?" It was Chen Lina's voice.
Ha Gong hurried to look at his cousin. His cousin thought for a moment, waved his hand and let the others go into the house, and untied Ha Gong and Zhang Cuihua.
But he was always standing behind Zhang Cuihua with a sharp dagger in his hand. It was obvious that if Harbin Institute of Technology dared to say anything to Chen Lina, Zhang Cuihua would die immediately.
"Don't you want the worker's hunting rifle? Here, I got it for you." Chen Lina said, and handed her own hunting rifle to Harbin Institute of Technology.
Seeing that HIT still refused to accept the offer, she said, "Why not? My nurse's gun is the best in the mining area. Don't you always tell me that?"
As she spoke, she handed over a plate of gunpowder to the Harbin Institute of Technology. "The gunpowder you brought in from the mining area is not collectively mute. Here, this is the best gunpowder that the workers prepared themselves. Remember to change it, otherwise your guns will always be mute, and you won't be able to shoot rabbits."
As she said this, she glanced at her cousin from Harbin Institute of Technology with a smile and said, "Look at how good-looking your cousin is. You can tell at a glance that he is a decent person. Have fun."
When my cousin was stared at by such a beautiful woman, he actually chuckled and breathed out of his nose.
At this moment, there is no one following us.
Nie Weimin was alone, holding a broken phone, just like a naughty little monkey. He climbed over the backyard wall, climbed over the small woods and ran for a while.
When I ran to the window of Tiantian's house next door, I took a look out of curiosity.
Ouch, it's so disgusting. He pretended to vomit, yelled in disgust, turned around and ran away.
It turned out that Sister Wang was taking off her clothes inside and teaching Tiantian what development was.
When Chen Lina came home, the worker still had his No. 54 on his waist, and Sandan's ears were erected like a dog's, standing behind his father.
"Where's Weimin? Why isn't he here?"
"He went to report the case." said the worker.
Chen Lina said, "That's not right, Lao Nie. My cousin from Harbin Institute of Technology has been here for a few days. If you really want to call the police, they won't cut the phone line, right?"
The engineer was adjusting his radio station without even turning his head. "He can cut telephone wires, and he cuts the wires in the building. My son can even make radio calls, so answering a phone call is not a big deal."
"What about Erdan? And what are you listening to?"
Nie Gong tuned the channel and then amplified it by a factor of two. Amid the noise, he could vaguely discern the voice of his cousin from Harbin Institute of Technology.
Apparently, he was discussing with a few other people whether it was necessary to replace the gunpowder in the hunting rifle, and if not, whether the hunting rifle would become mute.
Nie Gong listened attentively with bated breath, and suddenly heard a few sounds of gun bolts clicking. It was obvious that these people were probably changing gunpowder.
Nie Gong then said, "Okay, Erdan, come out. We need to catch these guys and take back the guns before Feng Yuyu sends people over."
Oh, it turns out Erdan was really in the house, and he came out holding a small trumpet rolled up with paper.
"Nie Bozhao, don't tell me you're going to go next door right now and are planning to have Erdan take a loudspeaker to block the enemy's sand bombs."
Erdan waved his hands and said, "How can that be possible? Dad said that the aunt from Harbin Institute of Technology must be in danger. We have to lure the enemy to our home."
As he spoke, Nie Gong raised his finger and shouted three, two, one. Erdan opened the window and started shouting, "Listen, bandits next door. We have a lot of police officers in our house. Come out of Hamama's house quickly, lay down your weapons, and surrender, or we will arrest you all."
His voice was loud and suddenly exploded in the silent night sky.
The door of Harbin Institute of Technology opened immediately, and several people rushed out, all pulling the bolts of their rifles.
Chen Lina pushed the two children into the bedroom and said, "Nian Gong, are you crazy? We didn't even have time to hide, how could you lead them here?"
Nie Bozhao jumped out of the back window with a gun in his hand. He was as agile as a deer and in a few steps he sneaked under the wall between the two households.
At this moment, Chen Zili heard the sound, and leaned his head out the window, only to see a flash of fire in the sky. They were all aiming at Chen Zili and started shooting directly.
"How are they, Mom? Are the fireworks pretty?" Nie Weimin came in through the back window, holding their family's inherited phone. "I called the police. The police should be here soon."
"What are fireworks?" Chen stuck her head out of the window and could see flashes of fire on the opposite side. Her husband, who had been hiding under the grape trellis with a gun, suddenly stood up and shot without hesitation. After a few gunshots, almost all the people in the yard opposite fell down in an instant.
"Mom, you don't understand this, right? Didn't you just deliver the gunpowder? The gunpowder was made by me. It was mixed with sulfur and saltpeter. Hey, it exploded when it was lit. What else could it be but fireworks?"
Sandan also ran out of the bedroom. "Mom, those people's guns, as long as the gunpowder is changed, will only accidentally burn your hands, and there is no way they can hurt anyone."
Chen Lina looked at Erdan in despair and thought to herself, what kind of children am I raising? I am a college student and I studied chemistry in junior high and high school. Why am I as confused as Erdan when it comes to military engineering?
There were sounds of ghosts howling outside. The bandits in the yard of Harbin Institute of Technology first had their arms burned by misfired guns, and then were shot by Nie Gong. They were all screaming in the yard.
Harbin Institute of Technology came out, Zhang Cuihua also came out, and all the men in the mining area soon gathered together.
Fortunately, my mother went to visit relatives in Tacheng and was not there. Otherwise, her crying alone would be enough to make people die, not to mention so many people outside.
Engineer Nie was a calm person. He briefly reported the situation to Chief Engineer Wang and went straight home.
Sitting behind the desk in the study, the three sons' admiring eyes were simply like, what does it mean to fight without bloodshed? Their dad, this is what it means to fight without bloodshed.
Miss Chen's eyes were as hot as a hot pepper in the summer. She brought a cup of tea and asked, "How many times do you need to clean this gun?"
Nie Gong has had wrinkles on his face in recent years, but the wrinkles can't hide his sharp edges and handsomeness that become more distinct as he gets older. One can only say that he has become more mature and stable, but once he moves, he is still very agile.
"I used to touch it at least three times a day, but now it's not working anymore. I have a mistress, and my first wife is unfamiliar with me. It took me 32 seconds to dismantle the gun today. Miss Chen, don't you understand? If I put half of the effort I put into touching you, I won't regress so badly."
"So, you mean this gun is your concubine? Well, I didn't even know this, and the man took a concubine?" Miss Chen folded her arms and sneered.
Nie Gong stood up, put the pistol in the drawer under the table in a serious manner, and said, "No, you are the concubine, it is my concubine."
"Okay, from now on, sleep with your first wife. Your little wife doesn't want you on the kang anymore."
The two were arguing when Chief Engineer Wang came in.
Throwing a hunting rifle to the worker, he said, "There were eight people in total, six of whom you shot and wounded, and two of them escaped. The parts you shot were all knees without exception. I didn't expect that your shooting skills are still so accurate now that the military training time has been reduced by half."
Chief Engineer Wang was still smoking and threw one to Engineer Nie. "Take one. Let's go and search for those two rabbits."
The worker didn't smoke, so he put his cigarette behind his ears and went into the kitchen. Seeing Chen Lina busy washing dishes, he asked, "Do you really not want me on the kang anymore?"
"No, after five years of being with him, he's only become my concubine. A man like him deserves to sleep with a gun in his arms for the rest of his life," said Chen Lina.
Worker Nie was about to say something, but he was looking around for his older sister, Little Nie, to talk to. "She loves you so much, it would be strange if she didn't want you, hurry up and leave. Dad, when I just came back, I saw a lot of armed forces cars parked outside our base. I guess Uncle Leng must have arrived a long time ago, but he hasn't come in yet."
Nie Gong's brows immediately wrinkled. "You mean Leng Qi is here but he doesn't come in?"
Good man, in an instant, the worker began to understand what was going on.
…
In the mining area outside the base, a large red truck from the armed forces, loaded with soldiers, each carrying the most sophisticated weapons, was speeding towards them.
Leng Qi drove the wartime command vehicle, which was filled with smoke and looked like a speeding desert ship.
He stopped the car outside the big iron gate of Base No. 1 and ordered Chief of Staff Feng to stop it.
"Send someone to find out what's going on inside the base now."
"Minister Leng, shouldn't we go rescue the workers now?" Chief of Staff Feng said.
Leng Qi was a big smoker. He took a deep puff of cigarette and said, "What if the information you received was false? What if no one wants revenge tonight? Then we will just be losing money. Let's wait a little longer."
What he wanted was for the laborer to be forced into a corner by the enemy while holding his wife and child, and then wait for him to rescue them. Wouldn't it be a little early for him to go now?
Suddenly, there were several gunshots in the air, and Staff Officer Feng said directly, "All officers and soldiers, please pay attention, check your weapons immediately, and be ready to attack at any time."
On this side, Leng Qi got out of the car, smoking a cigarette, and wandering in front of the big iron gate of the base. According to his thinking, the gunfight should have started at this moment.
Just as he threw away his cigarette butt and was about to order all the officers and soldiers to charge, suddenly, a man in black rushed over from somewhere and pointed his gun directly at his head. "Don't move, raise your hands, don't move!"
…
It was a dark night, with lights on and a bustling crowd, and people were everywhere outside the family area.
In a blink of an eye, Nie Gong had already received the news.
"Lao Nie, it was Feng Yu. He was lying in ambush outside the base, probably planning to come in to seek revenge, but he ran into the officers and soldiers of the armed forces. He probably knew it was difficult to escape, so he took the gun and kidnapped Minister Leng of the armed forces."
The laborer stood there with a hunting rifle on his shoulder. He said, "Oh," and smiled, "Minister Leng?"
"He originally came to save us, but looking at the situation now, it seems that we have to rescue him?" said Chief Engineer Wang.
…
Half an hour later, Feng Yu kept shouting, "Car, drive the wartime command car over to me, prepare water, prepare money, prepare guns and ammunition, immediately, if you don't prepare these things, I will shoot him."
"No! Whoever dares to drive my car over here will be court-martialed." Leng Qi was getting anxious. He thought, as a hero all his life, how could he possibly compromise with such an evil force?
Moreover, as an experienced officer, he was of course also very good at finding openings for snipers in the struggle, twisting his body at any time to find loopholes for the snipers.
To ensure that the sniper in position now can kill the bastard Feng Yu with one shot at any time.
"Then I will kill you with one shot..." Feng Yu hadn't finished his words yet, but his head was slightly tilted, and there was a loud bang, and the sand bullet hit his head. There was a crisp sound, and a stream of blood splashed on Leng Qi's head.
Leng Qi was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was not dead.
Feng Yu had already fallen, and all around him were car lights and black gun barrels.
His head was buzzing and beads of sweat were dripping down. But no, he looked at the fallen Feng Yu. The gun had shot him from behind, and the sight of his head being blasted was so disgusting that he couldn't even look at it.
"Who the hell is this person? He's using a hunting rifle to snipe such a dangerous criminal?" Leng Qi shouted, wiping the blood off his face.
"I."
A summer desert oasis, stars in the sky, car lights shining on the sculpture of an oil worker.
The steaming heat and the rustling of trees.
A man wearing glasses, a white shirt, and black overalls, carrying a hunting rifle, came out of the big iron gate.
A pair of sharp eyes, two well-shaped eyebrows, and a sharp gaze hidden behind the lenses, but it could not hide his anger.
The laborer carried a hunting rifle, pulled the bolt again, and pointed it directly at Leng Qi's forehead. "You bastard, I treat you as a brother, but you treat the lives of our entire family as toys. I will kill you today if I don't."
