Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

It was late at night, and it was already late autumn in November. Although Tuocheng was located on the Tropic of Cancer, it was still a bit cold under the moonlight after autumn arrived. There was no one walking on the streets at this time.

Since the Linhe Power Plant was built, streetlights have been installed on all the main roads of Lianzhai, making Lianzhai the only brightly lit village in the surrounding area. In addition, as the village has become wealthier in recent years, it has not only built schools and roads, but also carried out greening and other facilities, and Lianzhai has undergone a great transformation.

Liu Fu carried a sharp knife in a sack as he walked through the alley. He had come from the industrial road next to Lianzhai, not daring to enter Lianzhai village at night for fear of encountering the patrolling militia.

Even if Liu Fu came in through the village road, he wouldn't have encountered the joint defense militia team. Tian Chulian had already informed the joint defense team, and now they were all gathered near Li Jiancheng's house, lying in ambush, just waiting for Liu Fu to walk into their trap.

Following the route he had scouted during the day, Liu Fu walked through the alleys in the dark. The dogs kept by the nearby residents were awakened by the sound of Liu Fu's footsteps and started barking. Liu Fu couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Counting the alleys he had walked through, Liu Fu arrived at the house of "Huang Bingkun" that he had confirmed during the day. The pomegranate tree swayed gently in the autumn wind, and the handle of the hand-cranked well had been removed, but Liu Fu was certain that this was the house.

Liu Fu was puzzled. When he came here during the day, there were dogs here. He even brought a steamed bun laced with pesticide, intending to throw it over the wall to poison the dog before taking action. Why was the dog not moving now?

Instead of going to Huang Bingkun's house first, Liu Fu went to the gate of the house with the dog. He listened through the wooden door and heard the whimpering of the dog inside, followed by a burst of barking. Liu Fu then smiled crookedly and threw the steamed bun over the courtyard wall.

After waiting for a while, the dog, perhaps having eaten the steamed bun, started whimpering again, and then fell silent. Only then did Liu Fu take out the sharp knife from the sack, go to Huang Bingkun's door, insert the knife into the crack in the door, and begin to pry it open little by little.

Liu Fu was very cautious, prying the door open gently, not daring to make too much noise. After prying for a long time, he suddenly heard a soft 'thump' sound, and then the door opened inward by itself. Liu Fu smiled coldly, drew his knife, and crouched down, about to rush in.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, a blinding beam of light shot towards his face. The intense light made it impossible for Liu Fu to open his eyes, so he had to use his free hand to shield them. Liu Fu thought that Huang Bingkun's wife had discovered him. Instead of retreating, he rushed towards the light, intending to strike first.

Liu Fu thought the person opposite him would scream in fright, and he was thinking about how to cover her mouth so that the neighbors wouldn't hear. Unexpectedly, a big foot kicked him squarely in the chest, and Liu Fu was almost sent flying backward, falling to the ground with a thud.

Holy crap!

Liu Fu let out a curse that sounded like a mixture of anger and confusion. The bright light was still shining, and despite the pain in his chest, he scrambled to his feet and turned to run away. Only then did the man opposite him with the flashlight shout, "Liu Fu, put the knife down!"

"I'll let you go!" Liu Fu was about to rush out the door when Zhang Tiejun rushed over in three steps and delivered a flying kick that hit Liu Fu squarely in the back, sending Liu Fu flying out of the door.

At this moment, Liu Fu collapsed onto the steps. The dog next to him started barking wildly, and the tightly closed door was flung open. A dozen or so men rushed out, each carrying a Type 55 or Type 6 semi-automatic dagger, all with their bayonets fixed, gleaming brightly in the moonlight.

Liu Fu knew he had been tricked, and the young man from earlier that day had recognized him. Without hesitation, Liu Fu threw the dagger in his hand into the crowd and, taking advantage of their panic and confusion, ran away.

"Stop! Run again or we'll shoot!"

With a loud "bang," the muffled sound characteristic of the Fifth and Sixth Battalion rifles rang out like thunder in the silent night. In an instant, the entire Lianzhai village seemed to have been switched off. The barking of dogs and shouts of people were silenced. Liu Fu panicked and scurried into the dark alley.

The big yellow dog, whose mouth had been covered by the joint defense team members for a long time, was finally unleashed by its owner. Now it was completely free to run out of the house and rushed towards Liu Fu, who had disappeared into the dark alley. The joint defense team members, carrying their Type 56 rifles, quickly followed.

"Damn it, I'm done for today," Liu Fu had just rushed into the dark alley when he accidentally stepped into a ditch and twisted his ankle. He was now leaning against a collapsed mud house, panting.

His feet, chest, and back ached, and he was sweating profusely. Turning his head, he saw a house with its lights on. Liu Fuqiang endured the pain, grabbed a brick, and went to the door. He knocked on the door without making a sound, holding the brick up, waiting for the person inside to come out and investigate before giving him a good beating.

The door opened, but the dogs rushed out first, and not just one, but three. Liu Fu smashed a large yellow dog that pounced on him with a brick, but he couldn't take care of the other two, one black and one white. One bit his left hand and the other bit his right leg, and they were still shaking their heads violently.

"Ahhh!" Liu Fu cried out in pain, picked up a brick and smashed it at the black dog that was shaking its head violently. The black dog was hit by the brick but still refused to let go. Instead of shaking its head, it started biting Liu Fu's leg and pulling him backward.

The dazed yellow dog charged back and bit the hand that was about to swing the brick. This time, Liu Fu was completely helpless. Both of his hands were bitten, and the dead dog was still pulling his thigh backward. He felt like the flesh on his thigh was about to be torn off.

"Here, here! The person is here!"

Hearing the shouts of the auxiliary police officers was like hearing heavenly music to Liu Fu's ears. He also yelled, "Help! Help! Pull these dogs away! Ahhhhh!"

His shout only made the three dogs more ferocious. The big yellow dog and the big white dog started shaking their heads violently. The dog owners inside the house heard the shouts of the joint defense team members, but they still didn't dare to come out of the house. Only after the joint defense team members came over did a woman peek out to look.

"Sister-in-law, don't come out yet," a member of the joint defense team who recognized the woman shouted to the woman peeking out. The woman was none other than Wang Guizhi, Huang Bingkun's wife.

The joint defense team members started to pull away the three dogs that were still biting Liu Fu tightly. Liu Fu was in excruciating pain, but the more he shouted, the more excited the three dogs became and the more they tore at him. The team members had no choice but to bring water over and pour it on the dogs' heads.

"Wangcai, Shahei, Mianhua, come back!" Wang Guizhi shouted at the three dogs. Hearing their mistress's call, the three dogs, who were still fiercely biting each other, reluctantly let go and went into the house, looking back every three steps.

"Help! It hurts so much!"
