Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 174: The ruthless Li Long, shooting without mercy
"I have a woman in my room, it's not convenient." Li Long calmed down a little after touching the gun, "You guys can rest outside the door. It's April now, and it's not too cold outside. You can make do with it for one night."

"Brother, please be kind. I'm not only cold, but also hungry. Can you give me something to eat? I picked up some deer antlers. What can I exchange with you for them?"

"We don't have much to eat either." Seeing that the other party insisted on Li Long opening the door, Li Long knew that the person outside was not simple, so he said, "Food is hard to come by in the mountains, and it's late at night now. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Li Long hoped that these people would retreat, but to be on the safe side, he slowly opened the safety of the gun and loaded the bullet.

Although the door of the wooden house is quite strong, if someone outside really wants to come in, the inner lock with double pins will not be able to stop them.

The reason why Li Long realized something was wrong was because he heard there were at least two people outside. He asked the other party, but the other party only said there was one person.

There must be something wrong with this!

"Brother, please be kind and open the door. It's too cold outside! I don't ask for much. Just unlock the door next to yours and let us stay in for one night. Don't worry, I will never take your things. I will leave at daybreak, okay?"

"Then just smash the lock and drop it in." Li Long rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "I'm scared in the middle of the night. We don't want the lock anymore. There's nothing valuable in there, just a bunch of junk..."

"No, no, no, how can you do that? Breaking the lock is not good, and buying a lock also costs money. Just open the door and take out the key. I'm not a bad person!"

"It's okay. Didn't you say you wanted to exchange it for deer antlers? An antler is worth a lot of money, but a lock is nothing to you. Just smash them. Now we're going to sleep." Li Long finished his words and didn't plan to answer again.

The other party was obviously not giving up and tried different ways of talking, trying to get Li Long to open the door.

Li Long stopped talking, slowly walked to the door, and put the gun against the wooden door.

"Brother, why bother talking to him! We have weapons in our hands, just smash it! It's dark here, who would know what we did?"

It’s not a good bird after all!

Then, the wooden door shook violently, making a loud "bang!"

Obviously, the other party used some tool to break down the door!

"Bang, bang, bang!" The other party hit the door several times in a row, and the wooden door began to shake.

"Stop smashing things! We have guns!" Li Long shouted from inside the door. He still hoped to scare the other party away. He didn't want to see blood.

"There's a gun!" The banging on the door really stopped.

"What a bullshit gun! If you had a gun, why were you so cowardly before? You're kidding! Brother, give me the axe, I'll smash it!"

Then another person took over and smashed the door with an axe, and the door shook violently!
"Stop smashing it, I'm really going to shoot!"

Li Long became ruthless and pointed his gun at the door. If the other party still refused to listen, he would not be soft-hearted.

In response to him, there was another loud banging on the door.

"Snapped!"

"Clap!"

Li Long pulled the trigger, aiming at the chest, and fired three shots in succession.

“Ah! There really is a gun! My arm!”

"my hand!"

There were screams, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground and footsteps running away.

Li Long opened the pin and went out with the gun. In the dim light, he saw two dark shadows running away about ten meters away.

"Don't run, or you'll get hit on the head!" The two black shadows stopped.

The screams were still being heard. Li Long turned around and shone the flashlight on the two dark shadows on the wooden kang. They were two short men with untidy beards. One had blood on his arm and the other was covering his right hand. They were obviously injured.

"Come here!" Li Long pointed his gun at the two people. At this moment he did not dare to be careless at all, because he saw an axe under his feet. If he did not carry a gun, he would have fallen under the axe.

The two men slowly moved to a place two or three meters in front of Li Long, and Li Long shouted again:

"Your Majesty!"

The one with the injured arm knelt down and cried out with a sad face:

"Brother, can you bandage it? I'm bleeding to death!"

This person was younger and seemed to be more unable to endure the pain and injury. The other one was older, Li Long guessed he was in his 30s or 40s, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look Li Long in the eye.

"You, kneel down!" Li Longqiang was facing the two people. He shouted at the man with the injured hand. The man hesitated and didn't want to kneel down.

"Brother, please kneel down!" The man with the injured arm couldn't stand the pain and begged the older man next to him, "Otherwise, I can't bandage my arm."

The middle-aged man glared at his brother and had to kneel down.

Li Long shouted:
"Keep on your knees and don't move!"

He went into the house and got a hemp rope and threw it to the one with the injured hand:
"Tie him up, tie his arms back! Expose the injured part so I can apply medicine on him later! Tie him up tightly, otherwise I'll beat you to death right now!"

The middle-aged man refused to be tied up, so Li Long fired a shot at the ground and said in a deep voice:

"As you said, in this desolate mountain, I'll smash your heads and bury them somewhere. No one will come looking for you, right?"

The man was scared, so he had to pick up the hemp rope and kneel there to tie up the other man.

When the young man heard that Li Long was going to apply medicine to him, he stopped struggling and obediently let himself be tied up.

"Tie yourself up too!" After watching the middle-aged man tie up the young man, Li Long ordered again, "Don't tell me you don't know how to tie me up. Use your mouth! Use your hands! Tie me up tightly!"

The man glanced at Li Long and then lowered his head. Li Long could see the unwillingness in his eyes, but he didn't care.

"I still have six bullets in my gun. If you think you can run away or resist before these six bullets are used up, then go ahead and try!"

At this time, Li Long really didn't mind shooting the other party again.

I've already shot, so it won't matter if I shoot one more time.

The man didn't say anything. When he tied himself up, Li Long saw that his palms were covered in blood. He must have been shot through by a bullet. When he was tying himself up, there was blood on the hemp rope and the sleeves of his clothes.

Finally, the man tied a slipknot on the rope with his mouth and turned to look at Li Long.

Li Long said nothing, and knocked the man to the ground with the butt of his gun. The young man looked at Li Long in horror, thinking that Li Long was going to silence him!
"You're trying to run away by making a noose, right?" Li Long sneered and kicked him again, then used the muzzle of his gun to make the noose into a knot. "Do you still think you can outrun a bullet?"

After saying that, without waiting for the two men to react, he went back into the house and took out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, and poured half of it on the young man's arm - the bullet had directly knocked off a piece of flesh from his arm, and blood was all over his sleeve. It should have stopped bleeding originally, but when his arm was tied, the blood started flowing again.

Li Long pulled out the cotton wool from the white medicine, and then poured half of the bottle of medicine onto the wound. The young man yelled, "Why are you yelling? I poured half of the white medicine that costs one dollar a bottle into you!" Li Long cursed, "You grown man, can't you bear this little pain?"

After seeing Li Long pouring white medicine for himself, the young man stopped shouting.

Li Long went over and poured medicine into the middle-aged man's hands. At this time, he was very alert, fearing that this guy would suddenly attack him.

Fortunately, the other party did not do so and waited quietly for Li Long to apply medicine.

Li Long poured all the remaining medicine into his hands, took a few steps back, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

He really didn't want to leave anyone's life in his hands, so he should leave the rest of the matter to the authorities.

"Get up and go!" Li Long pointed a gun at the two people.

The two men struggled to get up, being careful not to touch the wounds.

Before the two of them moved, Li Long locked the door of the big room, opened the door of the small room, took the things off the bicycle and put them away, pushed the bicycle out and locked the door.

As he pushed forward, his feet kicked something. He looked down and saw that it was a black cloth bag. He picked up the bag and clamped it on the back seat of the bicycle.

"Come on, follow the direction I point to. I'm taking you out of the mountain now. Don't play tricks. My patience is limited and I won't remind you next time. I don't have much white medicine!" After Li Long finished speaking, he put the gun on the front handlebar of the bicycle with one hand, held the bike with the other hand and pointed at the two people.

The two men seemed to have accepted their fate and walked forward one after the other.

"Follow this narrow path, don't tell me you can't see it," Li Long said again:

“Keep going!”

It was more than an hour later when he led the two men out of the mountain and onto the main road.

"Can we rest for a while?" The young man begged, feeling the pain in his wound.

"Okay." Li Long said, "Take a break."

After resting twice, Li Long finally brought the two people into the county town and came to the police station diagonally opposite the compound.

At this time, the genius is bright.

Not to mention the two injured people, even Li Long himself was exhausted.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. He arrived at the police station, put on his small-caliber rifle, and shouted:

"Officer Guo, Officer Guo!"

A policeman on duty immediately ran out and was surprised to see Li Long carrying a gun and the two injured people.

"You are... You are Xiao Li, right?" The man actually recognized Li Long.

"Yes, yes, it's me." Li Longxin thought it would be great if he knew me. He pointed at the two injured people and said:
"I went into the mountains to buy things. When I was staying in the winter nest, these two people tried to break down the door. I suspected that they were repeat offenders and they probably had a criminal record. I shot and injured them in retaliation. This is my gun - it is registered with the supply and marketing cooperative. Chief Li of the purchasing department can testify to this..."

"Okay, come in." The policeman was quite familiar with Li Long's situation. He opened the door and let Li Long and the other two in.

After entering the police station, the chief on duty also heard the noise and came out in his coat. He was a little surprised to see Li Long and asked him about the situation. After knowing the general situation, he nodded and said:

"Okay, since the wound has been treated simply, let's conduct an interrogation now."

"By the way, the bag on my bike should be theirs. I don't know what's inside. I haven't looked yet."

When Li Long said this, he clearly felt the two men tremble.

The police officer on duty brought in the black bag, and when he opened it, he found clothes stuffed randomly inside, as well as some money and some mother-of-pearl wrapped in paper.

"There is blood on the clothes!" The police officer was very experienced and immediately spotted the problem with the clothes under the light.

Li Long thought, maybe my bad words came true, these two people - had committed a crime before?
After Li Long finished his statement, the police officer on duty asked him to hand over his gun and took him to the duty room to rest. They knew Li Long's situation very well, and his family background was clean, so they were not worried about him.

On the contrary, the director became more and more frightened when he was interrogating the other two people separately!
Not only have these two people committed crimes, but they have also killed people!

When it was completely light, the police officer on duty brought Li Long a meal and said to him with a smile:
"Comrade Xiao Li, you have done us a great service this time! It was you who fired the gun first with caution. Otherwise, you might have been killed by them!"

These two people were blind migrants who came from Kouli. In fact, at that time, many places in northern Xinjiang accepted these foreign populations, and of course, they mainly engaged in farming after being accepted.

The two men did not want to do farm work. They had collected medicinal herbs before and thought about making some money by collecting them in the mountains. Then they met another person in the mountains who had the same idea. They wanted to team up with him, but the other person was good at collecting medicinal herbs and just wanted to work alone. The two sides did not discuss it well, so the two of them accidentally beat the man to death.

After they beat the man to death, they robbed him of his belongings and continued to flee in the mountains.

Because the crime was committed by two people, they were tried separately and the verdict was reached.

"Comrade Xiao Li, you are lucky. The younger guy said that they originally planned to knock on the door of the winter den, tie you up and rob you, but you didn't open the door, so they wanted to kill you. It was you who reacted quickly and fired first... This is self-defense, you're fine."

It’s similar to what Li Long guessed.

The trial of these two people is still going on, but the part concerning Li Long has ended. It was already morning when Li Long left the police station.

The gun was returned to him and he rode his bicycle to the compound.

After a tiring night, he needed a good sleep.

Li Long slept until the afternoon and felt refreshed. He simply washed up. Because the holster of the small-caliber rifle was still in the mountains, he had to find a sack to roll up the gun and tie it to the bicycle, planning to go back into the mountains.

Just as I pushed my bike out and locked the door, I heard Guo Tiebing's voice:
"Comrade Xiao Li!"

Li Long locked the door and turned around, watching Guo Tiebing walking towards him quickly, and asked with concern:

"Comrade Xiao Li, are you okay?"

"It's okay... I've recovered..." Li Long's "recovered" meant rest, but Guo Tiebing obviously misunderstood. He nodded and said:

"It took me several days to recover from the first time I shot a suspect. It's okay. You're shooting a criminal. You have to understand that if you don't shoot him, you'll probably be the one killed or injured. Even if they get your gun, they'll hurt more people later..."

Li Long finally understood that Guo Tiebing was afraid that he would have a psychological burden because of shooting someone. He felt touched and amused, but it was difficult to explain this to Guo Tiebing.

Guo Tiebing comforted him for a long time, then patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, come to me if you need anything. But I still want to advise you, this gun is fine for shooting animals, but unless it's a situation like today, it's better not to use it on people. You have to know your limits."

After saying goodbye to Guo Tiebing, Li Long rode his bicycle into the mountains.

He went to Xiaobaiyanggou first, and seeing that everyone was still weaving the ribbons with peace of mind, he went to Halimu.

They have moved away, the winter den is empty, and the sheep and cattle pens are also empty.
