Chapter 88: Tough

Chapter 88: Tough

"Brother Scar, why don't we not go in?" The skinny man clenched his fists, worry and fear in his eyes.

He had never thought of stealing in the military compound before, but his family really had no food to eat. They had searched the county before, but still could not make ends meet.

There were a few families that still had some food stored, but when those people saw that they were trying to steal the food, they just rushed forward and fought with all their might.

They came to steal because they wanted to live, but when they ate the food without wanting to, they were beaten to death.

It was this new acquaintance, Scarface's brother, who suggested coming to the military compound to steal things.

They had only known each other for a short time, but this guy was smart. He took him and his brothers out for a good meal yesterday. He was in a good mood at that time, so he agreed to come along.

Now that he came to his senses, he was a little scared and wanted to go home.

"Heh, Wang Ergou, you want to back down at the critical moment? I advise you to give up. I am determined to break into this compound today. Even if you don't go, I will betray you if something happens to me." The scarred man's face was ashen, and his words were full of threats and intimidation.

The man with the scar was originally a lazy street urchin in Lantian County, who fought every day and did not do any real work. There was a flood not long ago, and he was luckily rescued by the soldiers who came to rescue him.

During the conversation, I learned that those people were all sent by the Yutian County troops.

There was no food or place to live over there, and they just ignored him after rescuing him.

Fortunately, he found an abandoned fishing boat by chance and drifted to Yutian County.

After getting to know Zhang Ergou and a few other hooligans, and asking around, he discovered that the army here was just an empty shell, with no one left guarding it.

He had evil thoughts and wanted to do something big, but he couldn't do it on his own, so he asked these people to help him, but he didn't expect that they were all cowards.

Zhang Ergou was terrified after hearing this and regretted even more that he had provoked this fearless troublemaker. He wanted to get rid of him but couldn't, so he resigned himself to his fate and followed him to climb over the wall inside.

They came to the cafeteria first, and sure enough, there was no one inside, it was empty.

After a few people searched the place, they found nothing edible left except some potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The scarred man angrily cursed, "This shabby place is so poor, and it's still a military unit after all, and it only has these junks, not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

Zhang Ergou was very satisfied. He had calculated that these things were enough to keep them from getting hungry and last for several days. He advised the people around him, "Brother Scar, let's go. It's enough to have something to eat. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we'll be discovered."

The scarred man was unwilling to give up. He looked towards the family compound in the distance, his eyes flashing.

His tone was full of greed and temptation, "It would be a shame to leave like this. Don't you want to eat meat? Those soldiers have high salaries, so they must have good things at home."

"When we get out, we'll eat braised pork and drink soju. Wouldn't that be like living like a god?"

Everyone was drooling as they listened, forgetting the fear they had just had, and they all wanted to follow Scar Brother to do something big, and then eat meat and drink wine.

Zhang Ergou frowned, he didn't want to go, but now it was like a knife was on his neck, if he spoiled the fun, they would not let him go.

Gu Yu was startled from his sleep when he heard some noise outside. He sat up and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but accidentally startled the person next to him.

"Hubby, don't move." Xiuzhu was sleeping soundly. The warm breath emanating from the man suddenly left her, making her a little dissatisfied.

Gu Yu quickly put her exposed arms under the quilt and covered them. Fearing that she would be scared, he did not say much, but just told her, "Be good and continue to sleep. I'm going to the bathroom. It's cold at night. Don't go out. Wait for me to come back and help you if you have any problems."

Xiuzhu was in a half-asleep state, and was dazed. She didn't hear clearly what he said, and soon fell asleep again.

Gu Yu walked out of the room quietly and locked the door from the outside.

"Brother Scar, this family should be quite wealthy. Gazi went to search the front yard and an old woman said she saw this family giving milk powder to the neighbor's baby."

The scarred man's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Damn it, that's milk powder. How can you give away such an expensive thing? This store must have it. Go get Ergou and the others to come over. After we finish robbing this store, we'll leave."

He turned back to look at the man who had just reported the news and asked cautiously, "How many people live in this house? Have you asked?"

"After asking around, there are only two women and one man in the room."

The scarred man was relieved after hearing this, and pointed at the three stronger men beside him, "You three come in with me. The four of us are more than enough to deal with the people in the room."

After climbing over the courtyard wall, the man with the scar walked forward and pried open the door lock. He had done this many times before and had experience. This kind of lock was not difficult to pry open, and he opened the door in a few tries.

With a smug look on his face, he walked in first and looked around the room with the dim light of the candle in his hand. Just as he was about to run towards the cupboard, he was knocked to the ground by a black shadow that suddenly jumped out of the room.

"Whoever dares to hit me, don't just stand there, hit him." The scarred man roared. The candle in his hand was extinguished, and his vision suddenly fell into darkness. He could not see the location of the people in the room.

Several people rushed forward and wanted to hit Gu Yu, but within a minute, they were all knocked down by Gu Yu.

They were just idle street thugs who had no professional training. How could they be a match for Gu Yu? It took no effort at all to deal with these misfits.

Gu Yu stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "You are very brave. You even dare to steal from the military families in the compound. You have several accomplices. How many families have you stolen from? Tell the truth quickly, or I will destroy you one by one now."

He put the knife in his hand against the neck of the first person who came into the house.

The man with the scar saw that he knocked down the four men in just a few moves, and he knew that he was unlucky, so he endured it.

Now he felt the blade of the knife touching the artery in his neck and was so scared that he confessed everything.

Gu Yu found a rope and tied up the hands and feet of several people in the room, intending to wait for their accomplices to come and pack them up and send them to the compound.

"Honey, are you okay?" Xiuzhu shouted in the house.

She was awakened by hearing a strange loud voice shouting in the living room.

The door was locked from the outside, so she lay on the door and listened to the noise outside. She didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Gu Yu and distracting him.

Now that it was quiet outside, she dared to speak.

"It's okay. There's a thief in the house. I've already dealt with all the people. You wait for me in the house and don't come out." Gu Yu comforted his wife in the house.

Although he had dealt with these people, he didn't want anyone to see his wife in her pajamas, just waking up.

Ye Yunrong had also heard the sound a long time ago, but she was afraid of making things worse, so she didn't dare to say anything. Only after hearing Gu Yu say that everything was fine did she put on her clothes and came out.

She looked at Gu Yu and said, "I'll go next door and ask A Lian and Bai Hua to return the stolen items to the higher-ups, and then I'll hand them over to them for punishment."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Gu Yu also wanted to send the person away quickly. The person had already been caught, and he didn't want to worry about the rest.

He also wants to go back and sleep with his wife.
