593: It seems I can’t find it tonight
Yu Xiaoye looked at Zhou Ziheng in disguise and found that although the clothes he wore looked ordinary, his tall and straight figure was still very eye-catching, and his handsome aura was still sharp.
It doesn't match this outfit at all.
Yu Xiaoye really believed that a good-looking person would look good even if he wore a torn sack.
Although Zhou Ziheng's outfit was a bit out of place, I couldn't ask for more at the moment, so I could only leave it like this for now.
Fortunately, my outfit was decent and no one could recognize me.
The two walked to the black market.
When the weather was cold and the temperature dropped to minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius at night, the black market stopped for a while.
Now that the weather is warming up, the morning and night markets here have reopened.
And perhaps because the crackdown has not been as strict recently, the black market is more prosperous than ever.
The market is so good, Yu Daye can't just let this piece of fat meat go uneaten.
So since I have no clues about who I am looking for, I can only try my luck here.
The two men got dressed and headed towards the black market with flashlights.
Zhou Ziheng secretly observed Yu Xiaoye and found that she was very familiar with the place, as if she was in her own territory. She was obviously a veteran.
When he arrived at the market, he found that it was indeed more prosperous than before, as lively as the market during the day, which made Yu Xiaoye feel itchy.
If Zhou Ziheng hadn't been there, she really wanted to get some fish out of the space to sell. She hadn't made a lot of money in a long time.
The biggest sum of money I ever earned was the 200 yuan New Year's money Zhou Ziheng gave me.
I really miss the feeling of sitting among a pile of money and counting it!
The two of them secretly strolled around the night market. After they had almost finished their walk, they did not see any trace of Yu Daye, but they did see many familiar faces.
Some of them are farm people.
It seems that there are many people doing this business on the farm. However, seeing it in this situation, Zhou Ziheng couldn't take any action. He could only pretend not to see it and walked away with his head down.
When the two of them reached a relatively secluded place, Zhou Ziheng said:
"It seems I won't be able to find it tonight."
"It's okay. If we can't find him, let's go back and ask around. My eldest brother should have become a veteran here, and he's tall, so he should be easier to spot—"
The two men prepared to turn back and find the suspicious person to inquire about the information.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an angry shout from the darkness:
"You bastard, don't you know the rules of the underworld? If you hang out here, you have to pay protection money, otherwise don't blame me for smashing your stall!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye were shocked!
The voice was heavy, loud, and a bit vicious. It was none other than the lawless outlaw Yu Daye!
He actually—
Changing career to collect protection money?!
This bastard really knows how to adapt. Since he can't hunt and sell wild animals, he actually turns to collecting protection fees, a business that has no cost?!
With that much wit, he could have made a living anywhere, but why did he have to do this kind of job where his brain is not on his belt?!
Yu Xiaoye quickly turned his head to look for the source of the sound.
Zhou Ziheng made a gesture to keep quiet, and then turned off the flashlight in Yu Xiaoye's hand.
The surroundings fell into darkness.
But the lights in the black market were all bright, like a river of lights.
In the dim light, another man asked unconvincedly:
"Why do you ask for protection money? What are you protecting? Do you have an insider in the militia who can tip me off, or can you help us deal with the militia when they come to arrest people? You can't do anything, so why do you ask for protection money—"
Before he finished speaking, another person said viciously:
"I told you to stop talking!"
Bang--
There was a dull thud, and one could clearly hear the dull sound of a fist hitting flesh.
Yu Xiaoye felt his intestines tighten and his stomach started to hurt, as if the punch had hit him.
Yu Xiaoye is not afraid of anything, but is afraid of being beaten.
This wasn't a fight between women pulling hair, scratching faces, and cursing at each other's ancestors; it was a fight between a bunch of gangsters and hooligans using real weapons.
Every punch hits the flesh, and it’s for real!
The kind that makes your intestines fly all over the place if you're not careful.
Yu Xiaoye was afraid of encountering such a scene.
She was so scared that she grabbed Zhou Ziheng's arm and pressed herself against him.
Zhou Ziheng noticed that Yu Xiaoye was trembling a little. He knew that she was timid and afraid. He was also worried that he would accidentally hurt her if he started fighting. So he stopped and whispered in her ear:
"Find a place to hide. Don't run around when the fight starts. Hide well."
Yu Xiaoye was worried:
"It seems like there's more than one person on my eldest brother's side. There should be several."
"It's okay. I can handle it."
"Are you armed?"
"I brought a knife."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziheng took out a military spring knife, pressed the switch, and the blade shot out, making a metallic vibration in the air.
It was a good thing that he didn't hear the sound of the blade breaking through the air. When he heard it, Yu Xiaoye became even more worried and grabbed Zhou Ziheng's arm tightly:
"I don't want to. I want to go with you."
If something unexpected really happened, she could take Zhou Ziheng and hide in the space.
Rather than being afraid of the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, she was more afraid that Zhou Ziheng would be injured.
She didn't want him to get hurt even a little bit.
Zhou Ziheng patiently advised her:
"Be good and hide here. If you come with me, I'll have to distract myself to take care of you. I'll be fine."
Yu Xiaoye was still reluctant.
Zhou Ziheng pushed her away and hid her behind a big tree:
"If you delay any longer, your elder brother will be gone soon."
Yu Xiaoye had no choice but to hug the tree reluctantly:
"Then you must be careful and don't get hurt!"
"I won't," Zhou Ziheng said humorously,
Believe in your man's fighting ability."
After saying that, Zhou Ziheng turned around with the saber and dived into the darkness.
Yu Xiaoye stared with wide eyes at Zhou Ziheng's figure sneaking into the woods and walking towards the light.
Over there, the man who was forced to pay protection money was already begging desperately:
"Okay, I'll pay, I'll pay, stop fighting, I'll pay whatever it costs!"
"Ten dollars!"
"Ten dollars?! Why don't you just go and rob them?"
“We are robbing!”
"I, these mountain products of mine may not even be worth ten yuan!"
"Then leave the mountain products behind and you can leave."
"You—you bunch of robbers! Ah—"
Amid the sounds of punches and kicks, Yu Xiaoye's heart tightened.
It's really a case of black eating black.
These guys are so evil!
Yu Xiaoye thought that if he allowed his elder brother to continue like this, even if he was not shot, he would sooner or later become a gang leader who brought disaster to the local people.
It’s better to shoot him to prevent him from harming others again.
While he was thinking, Zhou Ziheng had already rushed into the group of people like a killing god.
With quick eyes and hands, his movements were sharp, neat and decisive. He rushed directly towards Yu Daye and took advantage of Yu Daye's unpreparedness to jump out from behind him, grabbing Yu Daye's neck with one hand and holding a saber with the other hand, with the tip of the knife directly stabbing Yu Daye's neck.
Yu Daye was being held hostage without realizing it and struggled instinctively, but as soon as he moved, he felt a slight pain on his neck as if he had been bitten by an ant.
