I didn't have time to count them.
It was not known whether he pulled the trigger six or seven times before Li Xu retracted his arm.
There was no gunfire after that.
It suddenly became quieter.
More than ten minutes passed again, and Liu Gang suddenly said, "They're gone, let's leave quickly too."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the county town.
Li Xu quickly stood up and followed, "Uncle Liu, did you see them leave?"
"Yeah." Liu Gang nodded. "They left less than a minute after the gunfire stopped. I was just worried they were cheating, so I waited until now to confirm."
Having said that, he was still looking back out of the corner of his eye.
Only then did Li Xu say thankfully, "It's a good thing I prepared you beforehand, otherwise you might really be doomed this time."
It is because he knows that his vigilance is far inferior to Liu Gang's that he reminds him.
I didn’t expect that it would actually be used.
If Liu Gang hadn't reminded me in time, I wouldn't have had a chance to react when the other party fired the first shot...
When he heard the gunshot, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
At the same time, I kept cursing in my heart.
It's damn dangerous when guns are not strictly controlled.
Liu Gang smiled faintly. "I've saved your life this time. I don't have any other requests. I just hope you can complain less during these days in the countryside."
"No problem, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." Li Xu patted his chest and guaranteed.
It was already past seven o'clock when the two returned to the county town.
Instead of going to the unit, they returned home.
When they saw him, everyone in the Li family was stunned.
Sun Xiu quickly asked, "Xiao Xu, you guys went to the countryside to promote, and you can still mess up the clothes like this?"
"Don't mention it. It's just bad luck. Besides, the front is only dirty, and the back should be torn."
After saying that, Li Xu turned around and let them see the condition of his back.
When the Li family saw the big hole on the back of his clothes, they were even more speechless.
"Go take a shower first, and then change your clothes before coming to eat." Li Jiakang said with a frown.
"Okay, Mom, pour me a cup of tea first. I'll drink it after I take a shower."
Hearing Sun Xiu's response, Li Xu walked straight out.
Fortunately, there is bath water prepared at home today.
It didn't take long for Li Xu to finish his shower and come to the main room.
At the same time, he was holding food in his hands.
After putting the food on the table, Li Xu drank half a cup of tea in one gulp, burped, and said, "Today I chose the Qinghe Brigade as the place to go to the countryside. Grandpa and grandma are doing well. Let me tell you not to worry."
"What? You went to Qinghe Brigade?" everyone exclaimed.
They only knew that Li Xu went to the countryside to do publicity today.
I really don't know where he chose.
Li Xu picked up the bowl and ate several mouthfuls of rice before vaguely explaining what happened today.
After hearing this, Sun Xiu was so angry that she slapped him on the head. "You naughty boy, you're really looking for trouble. Your grandfather told us not to go there during this period, but you refused to listen. If your master hadn't been here, how could you have come back so safely today?"
Even Li Ping scolded him, "Xiao Xu, I usually think you're quite cautious, so why are you so foolish today? The disaster hasn't been lifted yet, so why do you think it's safer during the day? If something happens to you today, what will happen to our family? Do you want your parents to see you off?"
It would be fine if you encountered danger under normal circumstances.
But this is something we were warned not to do.
You still insist on doing it.
If something unexpected happens, wouldn't that be courting death?
Thinking about it, everyone in the Li family felt scared.
At this time, Li Xu showed an embarrassed expression on his face, "Don't be angry, it is indeed my fault this time. It is mainly because I misjudged it. I thought that with the grain returned during this period, the countryside would not be short of food for the time being, so it should be safe.
Plus, it hasn't rained for a month, so I figured they were too busy fetching water for irrigation to bother with me..."
Since March until now, there has been no rain in Tang County.
This made many people wail and curse God.
But what was unexpected was that the water level of the rivers in the area was not low at all, enough to directly divert water to the rice fields.
Li Xu only discovered this problem when he arrived there.
Coupled with the attack he suffered later, he now deeply regrets his actions.
After hearing his explanation, everyone looked at each other, and somewhat understood his approach this time.
However, understanding is one thing, but verbal reprimand is still necessary.
Their scolding didn't stop until Li Xu finished his meal.
Li Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then warned, "Don't let anything slip about Xiaohua's sister-in-law's brother. And there are a few families that we need to be especially careful of. Tell Brother Qiang and the others about this."
"We know. You don't need to remind us. Just take care of yourself first." Sun Xiu said unhappily, "Are you really going to just let your master's life-saving grace go like this?"
Although Sun Xiu's tone was not very good, Li Xu did not care. He just shook his head and responded, "No, you don't have to worry about it. I will send him something good when the time comes."
"Okay." Sun Xiu responded.
At this moment, a ruthless look flashed in Li Jiakang's eyes, and he asked, "Did you see the faces of those two people clearly?"
"I didn't see them from beginning to end. Uncle Liu said that the two men had their faces covered, with only their eyes showing."
After a moment of silence, Li Jiakang said calmly, "They should be in the houses your grandfather told us to be especially careful of."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Sun Xiu and others changed. Li Ping said hesitantly, "If that's the case, the most likely ones should be the two families where someone died. One of them is the Qin family. If it is really them, we..."
Not just him.
Everyone seemed a little embarrassed.
Because of Qin Hua's incident, the Li family severed ties with the Qin family.
Due to lack of assistance, one member of their family did not survive until the second rice season was ripe last year.
Then one of them came to steal food and was beaten to death by Li Jiafu and his men.
Two people died in total.
To be honest, this incident made everyone in the Li family feel uncomfortable.
Otherwise, Mr. Li would not have hesitated several times when mentioning this matter.
If it was really them who did it, Li Jiakang and others felt it would be difficult to retaliate.
After all, if this kind of thing is discovered, someone in the other party's family might die...
The reason is that the other party attacked directly with a gun.
How could revenge from the Li family be easy?
Thinking of this, Li Jiakang sighed, "Forget it, after the disaster is over, I'll ask the old man to find out what happened today. We'll make a decision after we find out."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
