The county is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the northeast and south, and is bordered by water on the west.
People in the county call the river to the west Xijiang, and the Xijiang Bridge is a cross-county bridge.
After crossing the bridge, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jingyu.
In these years, the layout of the entire county still mainly developed from the east mountain to the south.
The area near Xijiang has not yet been developed and there are not many residents, especially near the Xijiang Bridge.
Under the bridge, the two brothers Xu Shixian and Xu Shiyan did not know that danger was coming. They were chatting happily.
Two thousand six hundred yuan, after excluding Yang Chunming and others' share, there is still two thousand yuan left.
If the five brothers share it together, each of them can get several hundred.
My parents have long said that they don’t want this money and it will all belong to themselves.
The family will be separated after the new year. With this money, we won’t have to worry about life in the future.
"Third brother, it's thanks to your leadership these days, otherwise our brothers wouldn't be able to earn so much money."
Xu Shixian was speaking from his heart. In previous years, they worked desperately, and it would be good if they could get a hundred yuan in winter.
How long has it taken to get hundreds of dollars? Who wouldn't be happy about it?
"It's a pity that our father won't let us go into the mountains, alas."
Xu Shixian sighed, feeling that it was such a pity. If he could continue hunting, he could still earn more.
Xu Shiyan was about to say something when he suddenly looked up and saw a group of people rushing down from the river embankment.
Those people came in a menacing manner and rushed straight to the Xu brothers. At a glance, it was clear that they were coming for them.
"Brother, hold the gun in your arms and don't expose it." Xu Shiyan stepped out of the way to block Xu Shixian.
Xu Shixian moved very quickly. He immediately bent down from the sledge and grabbed the gun covered under the sack.
Xu Shixian was thoughtful and did not reveal the gun, but held it in his arms along with the sack.
At this time, more than ten people had already arrived in front of the Xu brothers.
The leader saw Xu Shiyan and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that we will meet again today.
What’s going on? I heard they’re selling mountain products again today? It’s quite a lot of money, right?”
Having said this, the leader's face changed and his eyesight also changed.
"If you are sensible, just hand over the money obediently, and I will spare you once, otherwise, you will never come back today.
Don’t think you’re the only one who can carry a knife, do you see? All our buddies are carrying a lot of things today.”
The man waved his hand as he spoke, and saw everyone behind him showing what they were doing.
There were large knives like those used to cut watermelons, and there were pig-butchering knives, and there were two people who showed off three-section sticks.
More than ten people were each holding their own belongings, but here the Xu family brothers were using their bare hands. The comparison of strength showed that they were superior to each other.
Xu Shiyan frowned, is the county town so chaotic? These people dare to rob with open swords and guns in broad daylight?
The impression seems to be that things started to go wrong after the 1980s. Could it be that he had never been to the county town much in his previous life, so he didn't know?
"I'm sorry, why should I give you the money I earn based on my skills?"
Xu Shiyan looked at the people opposite and said without changing his expression.
"Last time, four or five of you were able to scare away me. Do you think you can do it this time?"
Xu Shiyan said while extending his right hand behind his back.
It's okay not to mention the last time. When he mentioned the last time, Cao Jiang, the leader opposite, turned green with anger.
It was simply humiliating. Four or five people gathered around one person, but they were frightened by the knife in his hand. They didn't dare to make a move. In the end, they alerted the police and ran away.
"Boy, you're quite crazy, aren't you? Okay, I'll let you go crazy, I'll give you something to look at today. Shengzi, do it."
The popular leader's facial features were distorted, and he turned around to call for the younger brother behind him to take action.
But when he turned around, he realized something was wrong. Someone was hiding behind him. "Shengzi, why are you hiding? Do it."
"Brother Cao, those two brothers know me."
The man in the back was not too tall and a little thin. When the man in the front turned around, he also moved and dodge, for fear that others would see his face.
"What? Do you know me?" Cao Jiang was slightly startled, then gritted his teeth and said, "If I know you, then I will become them."
This group of people basically steals when they can, robs when they can, and runs away after they rob. It is very rare that a large group of people goes out with open swords and guns like today.
Mainly because I didn't take advantage of Xu Shiyan last time, and I knew it was useless to have empty hands when there were few people, so I went out in full force.
Some of the customs left over from previous years, in fact, fights, thefts and robberies are not uncommon in society.
Public security in the countryside is good, mainly because the mobility of people is low, and folks in the countryside don't see each other without looking up.
If there are any conflicts, the village cadres will resolve them, otherwise there will be militiamen.
It is different in the city. There are many idle and unemployed people and high mobility. As educated youths flee the countryside and return to the city, society is becoming more and more chaotic.
Moreover, there are no militiamen in the city to help maintain law and order, and the police force is insufficient, which is also one of the reasons.
This has resulted in some people becoming more and more arrogant and daring to rob openly in broad daylight.
Hearing the leader say to get rid of it, the little man became cruel, pulled out a three-section stick from his waist, and walked out from behind Brother Cao.
"Xu Shiyan, I didn't expect to meet you here today. We are really enemies on a narrow road."
"Chen Desheng, I thought you would always be shy and afraid to take the lead."
Xu Shiyan was not surprised at all when he saw the little man.
When these people came running over just now, Xu Shiyan noticed someone who looked familiar.
The Chen brothers are all the same size and shape, and they can be recognized at a glance after knowing each other for many years.
When Chen Desheng heard this, Xu Shiyan had already recognized him, and he was filled with hatred.
"Okay, since you have recognized me, stop talking nonsense and save your life today to avenge my second brother."
Ever since he was bitten by a snake when he went into the mountains, I don't know whether it was because he was scared or because the wound was not properly treated. Anyway, Chen Deyong's life was a bit unsatisfactory.
Because of this, the Chen family all hated Xu Shiyan.
It's a pity that Xu Shiyan is now a popular figure in the Dongjiangyan Brigade, and Zhao Dahai strongly supports him. Even if the Chen family has the intention to do evil, they can't do it.
When we meet today, old and new grudges are added together, Chen Desheng naturally refuses to let Xu Shiyan go.
So he waved the three-section stick in his hand, stirring up the wind and saying, "Brothers, come on."
Chen De was probably the most capable person under Cao Jiang, and he was the one who took the lead in most of these things.
As soon as Chen Desheng moved, the dozen or so people behind him also waved their belongings and rushed forward.
However, as soon as they took two steps, their eyes widened and they stopped.
There is only one reason, because the black hole of the gun is pointed at them.
At this time, who dares to rush forward? No matter how fast you rush, will your gun still be as fast?
Besides, it’s not a gun. Isn’t this thing too scary?
"What the hell, you guys are carrying guns?" Cao Jiang was also dumbfounded.
How far can he carry this idea? Last time he encountered someone with a knife with his bare hands.
Come today with your belongings. I have a gun, or two guns, and I don’t dare to move even if I want to run away.
But what caused this group of people to collapse was still behind.
"Brother, third brother, what's going on?" The three brothers Xu Shi'an, who went shopping, rushed back.
