Chapter 138 Killing Zhan Hongtu
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan looked at each other, and without even having time to say hello to their old neighbor, they ran towards the Zhan family.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are you running so fast?" The old neighbor looked puzzled and shouted from behind.
When the two heard it, neither of them wanted to stop and answer, so they quickened their pace again, hoping that they were still in time.
The old neighbor looked at the two people who were eager to put out a fire and said to himself, "Isn't it because Zhan Xinyue has severed her relationship with the Zhan family and is worried that it will be dangerous for Grandma Sheng to go to the Zhan family?"
The old neighbor shook his head and answered himself: "How is it possible? Zhan Aiguo is well-known for his bullying. In the entire Changhong Brigade, no one is afraid of him except Chen Juxiang."
Zhan Aiguo has lived in Changhong Brigade since he was a child. Everyone knows that he is a timid person. When the old man of the Zhan family taught him to hunt, he didn't dare to learn, and he didn't even dare to hold a homemade gun.
When Old Man Zhan was alive, he had a good relationship with Grandpa Sheng. Grandma Sheng watched Zhan Aiguo grow up and even held him in her arms when he was a child.
Therefore, when Zhan Aiguo ran over and said that Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan were at his house, Grandma Sheng followed him without a second thought.
"Xinyue, you said that Zhan Aiguo tricked grandma over, is it just because he wanted some money?" Sheng Tunan asked while running when they were almost at Zhan's house.
Zhan Xinyue did not answer. She knew Zhan Aiguo and Chen Juxiang. They were profit-driven but not very courageous. If no one instructed them to do so, they would not dare to trick Grandma Sheng back for no reason.
Seeing that his wife didn't answer, Sheng Tunan stopped asking. He knew that the possibility was very small.
The two soon arrived at the Zhan family.
"Oh, you're finally here." Zhan Aiguo and Chen Juxiang stood at the gate of the yard, as anxious as bullfrogs that had just been slaughtered, their legs shaking uncontrollably.
"Come into the house and talk." The old couple looked around furtively and found that only Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue were there, so they hurriedly pulled the two into the yard.
"Where is my grandma?" Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue pushed them away at the same time and asked angrily in unison.
"Hush, keep your voice down. Don't let anyone else know. Otherwise, your grandma and my youngest child will die." Chen Juxiang's face was pale, and she trembled as she lowered her voice.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. There's no one else within two miles here except us." Zhan Xinyue's eyes were sharp.
Chen Juxiang shuddered and spoke incoherently, "They took your grandmother and my red map away. They asked Sheng Tunan to go and get them back alone. Otherwise, they would kill them. They also said that if I reported the case or told the village cadres, they would beat them to death as well."
Chen Juxiang started to cry as she spoke. Zhan Hongyan was shot, and now she only had Zhan Hongtu as her son, so nothing could happen to him.
"Where are they?" Sheng Tunan asked.
"In the back mountain." Zhan Aiguo pointed in the direction.
Zhan Xinyue asked: "Tell me everything you know. Make it short."
She was very anxious and wanted to save her grandmother as soon as possible, but the more urgent the situation, the calmer she had to be. The more she knew, the better.
"Yesterday, Hongtu's teacher came to visit and said that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon, and Hongtu's grades are average. He can't get into secondary school or university."
"When I heard this, I was like, this is outrageous! Hongtu is the hope of my family. How can I not pass the exam..." Zhan Aiguo didn't know the point and kept on talking on and on.
"Just talk about the important ones." Sheng Tunan said coldly.
"Oh, okay, what's important?" Zhan Aiguo was scared to death. He was afraid that his only child would be killed by the bad guys. His legs were shaking and his brain was blank. How could he think normally?
Zhan Xinyue said calmly: "I ask questions and you answer them."
The son that Zhan Aiguo and Chen Juxiang care about most is in danger of his life. Both of them are under stress, and it is impossible for them to provide clues clearly and quickly!
Zhan Xinyue began to ask questions: "What school does Teacher Zhan Hongtu attend and what is his name? Is he a boy or a girl?"
"Yong'an Middle School, the teacher is a man, he is Hongtu's head teacher, his name is Shi Qiang." Zhan Aiguo replied.
Zhan Xinyue took note and continued to ask, "What did Shi Qiang do here?"
"Or in other words, was it Shi Qiang who asked you to take my grandma away?" Zhan Xinyue thought about it. Since Zhan Aiguo mentioned this teacher, it must be related to the disappearance of her grandma.
"Yes, it was his idea." Without waiting for Zhan Aiguo to answer, Chen Juxiang spoke first.
The haggard woman slapped herself hard, regretting it beyond measure.
"It was Mr. Shi. He said that my youngest son would not be able to get into a Chinese university, but he could recommend Hongtu to study abroad at public expense. He said that the schools abroad are very good, and if Hongtu goes there, he will have his own room, the school will have a washing machine, and he will also receive a 1000 yuan scholarship every year."
Zhan Aiguo and Chen Juxiang were very tempted as they could go to school without spending a penny and earn money at the same time.
Shi Qiang was Zhan Hongtu's class teacher. Zhan Aiguo often went to the county to give money to his son. When they met, Teacher Shi even invited him to have dinner in the cafeteria.
In the 70s, few parents of rural students were educated, and they respected educated teachers. Zhan Aiguo was no exception. After having eaten his meals, Zhan Aiguo felt that he respected and trusted Shi Qiang.
Shi Qiang said that they could send Zhan Hongtu to study abroad without spending a penny, and the couple agreed without thinking twice.
In their minds, any place the teacher says is good must be good.
Chen Juxiang became increasingly emotionally broken, she sat down on the ground, and started cursing with tears and snot.
"Shi Qiang is a piece of shit. We trusted him so much. He said his nephew had served in the army under Captain Sheng and was bullied by him. He asked me to trick Grandma Sheng into hiding at home for a long time to make Captain Sheng worry so that I could take revenge on him. He promised to let Hongtu go abroad."
"I was so stupid to believe his lies."
Zhan Xinyue frowned and continued to ask, "What about Zhan Hongtu? Why was he also captured?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Juxiang and Zhan Aiguo started slapping themselves in the face and kicking the ground respectively.
Finally, Zhan Aiguo, who was a little more stable, said, "In the morning, after I brought Grandma Sheng back, Shi Qiang came with a man and a woman. The man looked at people fiercely, and the woman lowered her head and carried a large bag. They wanted to take Grandma Sheng away."
"Granny Sheng refused to leave, so the man slapped her in anger and cursed at her. She called them damned Chinese people. She said they had surrendered, so why didn't they just go back?"
"The result, the result," Zhan Aiguo looked at Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue's increasingly ugly faces, and said tremblingly, "The woman suddenly jumped up and kicked Grandma Sheng unconscious."
Seeing Sheng Tunan about to punch him, Zhan Aiguo immediately said, "They wanted to take Grandma Sheng away, I-I tried to stop them, but they ended up knocking out my youngest son and taking him away."
Those people were afraid that Zhan Aiguo would report the case, so they took his and Chen Juxiang's most cared-for son as a hostage.
Sheng Tunan was so angry that he punched Zhan Aiguo.
Secretary Liu was very responsible and would have the militia company commander lead the militia to patrol the Changhong Brigade every day. Grandma Sheng was also very cautious. She usually kept her yard locked and would never open the door to strangers. She also had a homemade gun at home. If those people tried to force their way in, she would shoot, and the gunshot would attract the patrolling militia.
Therefore, if it weren’t for Zhan Aiguo, grandma would not have been kidnapped so easily by those people.
Sheng Tunan's punches were heavier than the last, and he was so angry and furious that he wanted to beat the person to death.
When Zhan Aiguo was beaten to death, Zhan Xinyue grabbed the man and said, "Tunan, saving people is the most important thing."
Sheng Tunan then stopped, kicked Zhan Aiguo hard, and walked towards the back mountain with Zhan Xinyue.
As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Zhiyan hurried over. Seeing Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue's solemn expressions, he asked worriedly, "Brother, sister-in-law, what happened?"
"My grandma was kidnapped by enemy spies." Sheng Tunan replied as he walked.
"Where are you? I'll go help." Shen Zhiyan had just taken a shower and was about to go find his eldest brother and sister-in-law to see his grandmother. But when he arrived at his grandmother's house, there was no one there. He happened to meet the old neighbor who told him that Sheng Tunan and others had come to the Zhan family.
"They want me to go alone." Sheng Tunan stopped, took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and quickly think of a countermeasure.
A minute later, Sheng Tunan said calmly, "Old Five, dress up and follow me at a distance of ten meters behind me. If necessary, catch the enemy off guard."
“Xinyue, go find Secretary Liu and ask him to gather the militia. If we don’t get down the mountain in half an hour, you guys go up.”
Zhan Xinyue shook her head: "I heard from Zhan Aiguo that they are from Pen country and they also know Kung Fu. The militiamen have not received professional training, and I'm afraid they will just be killed if they go up. I will go up with you. I am a woman, they are less guarded, and I can attack them by surprise."
Sheng Tunan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Shen Zhiyan was a member of the special forces. He quickly pulled up branches and long grass to make a green cloak, which he put on. He moved forward with his back hunched, blending into the scenery of nature. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue walked in front, and Shen Zhiyan disguised himself well and fell behind, always keeping a distance of less than ten meters.
Soon we arrived at the foot of the back mountain.
When he reached the middle of the mountain, Sheng Tunan found some symbols drawn on the tree. Following the symbols, he finally reached the edge of a cliff.
There was a crooked tree on the edge of the cliff. Grandma Sheng and Zhan Hongtu had their hands tied with thick ropes and were hanging on the branches.
Below is a bottomless cliff. Grandma Sheng's health had finally been restored by Zhan Xinyue. She left home early today and had not eaten or drunk any water by noon. She was also beaten and is now dying.
Zhan Hongtu is a young guy after all, and he still has the energy to curse even when he is hanging.
However, the little bastard was not scolding the enemy spies who kidnapped him, but Grandma Sheng.
"You old bastard, if you hadn't recognized those two people as Pen people, I wouldn't have been arrested. They were supposed to arrange for me to go abroad, it was you. You old bastard, I'm going to kick you to death." Zhan Hongtu cursed and kicked Grandma Sheng.
When Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue caught up, they happened to see this scene.
"Grandma." Zhan Xinyue saw Grandma Sheng with her head down, motionless, and shouted anxiously.
"You little beast." Sheng Tutu picked up a small stone and threw it towards the leg that Zhan Hongtu was about to kick.
"Ouch," Zhan Hongtu screamed, curling up his legs and spinning in the air.
His screams became louder and louder, waking up Grandma Sheng who had fainted.
Grandma Sheng slowly woke up, and when she saw Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue, she shouted with all her strength, "Run! Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Xinyue's ears moved, and she put her arm around Sheng Tunan's shoulders and said loudly, "Lie down."
After the two fell to the ground, they separated and rolled to the sides tacitly.
Shen Zhiyan, who was following behind, heard the gunshots and immediately found the sniper's location.
To be precise, they were not snipers. The two men were holding pistols, but they did not have the accuracy of snipers.
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan also discovered it. Sheng Tunan took out a pistol and started fighting back.
Shi Qiang and Yamamoto Shinno concentrated all their firepower on Sheng Tunan.
Shen Zhiyan was in the dark and no one saw him. He took out his pistol and fired two shots at the heart of Shi Jiaqiang and Yamamoto Shinno.
He was the best soldier in the Beijing Military Region, and he had been in the special forces, so his marksmanship was extremely accurate. After two shots, Shi Qiang and Yamamoto Shinno fell to the ground before they could even see where the bullets came from, and died with their eyes open.
Just as Sheng Tunan and Shen Zhiyan were about to put away their guns, they heard a noisy sound of footsteps coming. Sheng Tunan and Shen Zhiyan quickly jumped onto the tree like monkeys and looked down. There were actually seven or eight people coming with guns.
"Old Five, go ahead. Cover me, I'll go get the gun from the ground." Sheng Tunan threw his gun to his brother and quickly slid down the tree.
He and Shen Zhiyan didn't have enough bullets, so they had to use the guns of the two enemy spies who had just died.
As soon as Sheng Tunan got down from the tree, he was hit by a hail of bullets. Shen Zhiyan stood on a high branch, holding a gun in both hands, covering his brother. Four bullets were fired at him, and three fell to the ground. There were still five people.
Zhan Xinyue looked at her dying grandmother, and decisively took out the dagger that Sheng Tunan had given her before, climbed up the tree, and prepared to cut the rope on Grandma Sheng's hand.
At this moment, a woman holding a long knife came running from not far away and chopped towards Zhan Xinyue.
Zhan Xinyue turned her head away, jumped off the tree and confronted her.
The woman rushed over screaming "Ba, ga, ba, ga". Zhan Xinyue snorted and laughed, used his light skills to fly behind the woman, grabbed her hair with one hand and kicked her sword away with one foot. The woman struggled to fight back, and tried to touch Zhan Xinyue with both hands and feet.
"You overestimate your own abilities." Zhan Xinyue sneered, grasped the dagger, and cut the woman's throat without hesitation.
The woman died with her eyes still wide open.
Zhan Xinyue glanced in the direction of Shen Zhiyan and saw that he was concentrating on fighting the enemy. He walked forward a little while holding the woman and called out, "Grandma."
Grandma Sheng didn't respond and fainted again.
When Zhan Hongtu saw Zhan Xinyue beat the bad guy to death, he ordered in his usual tone: "Put it down quickly, you loser."
Zhan Xinyue sneered. In her previous life, she felt a little regretful that she didn’t kill Zhan Hongtu with her own hands.
Just now I saw Zhan Hongtu trying to kick grandma. Zhan Aiguo and Chen Juxiang agreed to trick grandma away because they wanted to send Zhan Hongtu abroad.
Now is a good time to avenge both new and old grudges.
Zhan Xinyue kicked the big knife that fell on the ground, and the big knife flew up and flew straight towards Zhan Hongtu's heart.
A few seconds later, Zhan Hongtu spit out blood, his head tilted, and he died.
Zhan Xinyue threw the woman's body at Zhan Hongtu's feet and clapped his hands: "Oh, I didn't kill you, it was this Pen country woman who killed you. I am avenging you out of kindness."
