A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 376 My name is Scorpion, and my childhood that never rotted away.
"Tell me, weren't you visiting relatives? Why did you end up there?"

At the Wolf Fang base, Fan Tianlei slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Who gave you permission to carry out this kind of mission?"

Feng Yuxiu stared at Fan Tianlei, "The scorpion has appeared, right in front of me."

Fan Tianlei remained silent for a long time. "Scorpion is an incredibly cunning person. He would never confront you head-on. People like him don't come here specifically to die; they can come and go as they please. It's normal that we didn't arrest him this time."

Who's that in front of the military surplus store?

“Scorpion’s former subordinates,” Feng Yuxiu said.

"Don't go there again. President Wen has a lot of opinions about this matter. Scorpion will not show his face again. Consider today's incident as an act of bravery."

Feng Yuxiu stood up and walked out.

"Don't tell He Chenguang about this, after all, Scorpion killed his father."

"It's the chief."

Inside a large mountain on the border.

Scorpion, dressed in camouflage and carrying a bag, followed a blond-haired man on horseback.

"Is this the Golden Sea?" Scorpion asked.

The blond-haired man laughed and said, "Yeah, it used to be called Yellow Sea. Why is it called Golden Sea now? Because this whole mountain is full of gold mines."

"Is Boss Liu digging for gold here?"

"That's right, there's a clear distinction between black and white here. The government owns the land during the day, and we own it at night. There are mountains everywhere, so we can hide anywhere by crouching down. That's how you make a fortune—walking on the edge of a knife."

"See that? The border is not far away. We have a way in there too, so if we get caught up in the chase, we can just run there."

Scorpion smiled slightly; he had indeed heard of the local tyrant.

However, he was also curious as to why this Boss Liu, who was already so wealthy, would spend over three million to invite him.

What kind of enemy would make a local tyrant of this caliber nervous?

After passing through several passes, Huang Mao suddenly whistled into the distance.

A sharp owl's cry pierced through the layers of mountains.

Twenty ruthless bandits, armed with homemade guns and hidden nearby, stood up and aimed at Scorpion.

The scorpion raised its hand and looked at the blond-haired man.

"Sorry, this is our procedure. My boss watches too many movies and always likes to be a little cautious."

After saying that, he ordered several people to start searching the scorpion's body.

The blond-haired man pulled a black ribbon from his pocket and smiled. "Sorry, it's still procedure."

The scorpion closed its eyes.

Huang Mao led Scorpion into the mountains and stopped in front of a dilapidated factory area in a mountain ravine.

This used to be an abandoned gold mining area; the gold mines in this area have all been dug up.

So this place became Boss Liu's stronghold.

The blond-haired man tore off the black cloth covering Scorpion's face. When the light adjusted, a round-faced middle-aged man sat in front of him, chewing on a cigar and wearing a gold chain about the thickness of a thumb around his neck, sizing up Scorpion.

"So you are Scorpion, seeing is believing."

Scorpion smiled slightly, "You need my help with your manpower too. It seems the enemy is quite formidable."

Liu Laoda cracked his neck and stood up. "I also got insurance, after all, you're expensive, and I believe you're worth the price."

"Let's go, let's eat first, we'll talk after we eat! Let Ah Hong prepare some of her hometown's specialties. Also, bring out my Moutai and red wine, let's have a good meal today."

Scorpion silently followed Boss Liu inside. A plump woman with a swollen face and torn clothes came out of the room.

Yellow Hair revealed a lewd smile and slapped Ah Hong's breast with his backhand.

Ah Hong shuddered but didn't scream, keeping her head down as if she had already gotten used to it all.

"Cook properly, or I'll make you cook tonight!"

Boss Liu laughed heartily and went inside.

Scorpion turned to look at the woman with a slightly dark complexion. Scorpion groggily pushed open the door and went inside. The room had mud walls, was drafty, and the light bulbs were blackened, making the light dim.

Scorpion suddenly turned around and pulled out a pistol from his waist behind the door.

Ah Hong trembled with fear, "Don't shoot, Boss Liu sent me to keep you company."

Scorpion frowned. "Get out."

Ah Hong immediately knelt on the ground. "Please don't make me leave. Otherwise, I'll have to entertain thirty men tonight, and I really can't handle it. I'd even rather sleep on the ground all night, please."

Ah Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

In the blink of an eye, his forehead became red and swollen.

"Get out of here, you piece of trash! Don't disgust me!" Scorpion pointed to the door and said two words in Vietnamese:
"Slutty chicken."

Ah Hong was stunned for a moment, then choked up, "I'm not a slut, and I'm not a prostitute."

The scorpion paused, "You understood those two words I just said?"

Ah Hong nodded. "I'm from Vietnam too."

Scorpion slowly closed his eyes. His home had been destroyed by artillery shells, and he had rarely encountered people from his hometown in all these years.

"Sit down."

Ah Hong sat down cautiously. "I'm not a prostitute. I was bought from this village. I was married off from Vietnam to a village outside the mountains for 10,000 yuan. Liu Haisheng kidnapped me and brought me here. Please, save me. I'm being tortured to death."

Scorpion sighed, "Liu Haisheng is my employer now, I can't save you."

"Please, save me! I'll do anything for you!"

Ah Hong knelt on the ground and began skillfully pulling down Scorpion's pants.

Scorpion paused slightly, then grabbed Ah Hong's head and asked, "What's your name?"

“Ah Hong”.

"Get up."

Ah Hong stood up happily, "I'll go take a shower first, and then I'll serve you well tonight."

"No need, I'm tired. You should go to bed and sleep. No one will touch you from now on. I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

Ah Hong immediately understood, "I don't have the virus, I'm clean."

"Go to sleep."

Ah Hong gazed at the scorpion for a long time, "You are a good person."

-

As night fell, the scorpion fell into a deep sleep.

Ah Hong walked naked in front of the scorpion, slowly knelt down and stared at it.

Scorpion opened his eyes instantly, drew his pistol, and pressed it against Ah Hong's forehead.

“No, I came here to…” Ah Hong licked her lips to indicate her thoughts.

The scorpion shook its head. "No need."

"You think I'm dirty?"

"How old are you?" the scorpion asked.

"twenty."

Scorpion looked at Ah Hong, "When I was ten, I met a girl. She was my first love when she was fifteen. But there was a lot of war back then. One day, Ah Mei and I went out to play, and when we came back, the whole village had been bombed. But those warring armies kept dropping petrol bombs from the air, and Ah Mei died."

"From that time on, I only thought about killing and making money, and I never had any thoughts about any girls."

"So you can go to sleep now."

Scorpion never told anyone about this; he lived alone in this world.

Seeing Ah Hong now vaguely reminds me of his innocent childhood before it decayed.

Ah Hong stood up with tears streaming down her face, went into her room, covered herself with the blanket, and cried.

Scorpion closed his eyes again, his right hand still gripping the pistol.
