Chaos

In the afternoon, the Li family received a letter. Li Mu quickly tore it open without waiting to get the scissors, his expression changed again and again.

"What did you write?" Li Gong asked.

Li Mu put down the letter, and said slowly with an expression of disbelief, "It was Li Kang who did the patrolling of the house. Both Li Shu and Mr. Cheng were injured."

Li Gong's face gradually turned pale, and he asked, "What else?"

Li Mu paused for a while, then said in a low voice, "Lu Ning is dead."

Li Gong suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, and suddenly slumped on the chair, Li Mu hurried to help, Li Gong waved his hand, motioning for her to continue.

"She also said that what was said in the news might be inaccurate tomorrow, so let's send people to the warehouse as soon as possible. Father, what should we do, we don't know how many people Li Kang has..."

Li Gong's hands holding the cane trembled, and a thick layer of sweat soon appeared on his head.

"How many people can we use now?" Li Gong asked with a suppressed voice.

"Up to a hundred."

Li Gong's face was ashen, and asked: "Li Shu's people, are you still here?"

Li Mu turned his face away and didn't speak.

Li Gong slowed down for a while, bent to the hand holding the crutch, and said: "Now, you and Li Kong, take 70 people to the warehouse, bring knives and guns; call all the servants, distribute guns, and be ready to open the door to fight ; Also, let the sir, wife and children go to the bamboo garden, and don't come out no matter what you hear. In any case, we can't lose!"

Li Gong's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm and powerful.

"Send another letter to the Feng family, begging them to send some people to Li's house to help us..." Li Gong lowered his head and continued, "Help me gather all the family members into the yard, I have something to say explain."

Li Mu nodded, turned around and was about to leave when Li Gong stopped him.

"Wait! Go hire someone for me first..." Li Gong's hands clenched suddenly.

By the time the assembly was over, it was already dark, and Li Gong walked out tremblingly on crutches. Several maids wiped away their tears with guns twice bigger than their hands.

Li Gong looked at the blue clothes in the yard, and the rows of dazzling red lanterns hanging outside, his beard was blown to his neck by the wind, and his heart was full of desolation.

"In the past," Li Gong said slowly, "everyone said that Mrs. Li was your benefactor, who allowed you to live a life full of food, and even in the age of war and chaos, you could have a place to rest your mind. I have always been proud of it, thinking that this is doing good deeds. But I didn't expect that one day, Mrs. Li would come to the end of the mountain, but I want you to repay me like this... This is what I owe Mrs. Li, but How selfish I am to ask you to help me pay it back together..."

Li Gong hunched over, tears finally fell down after bearing too much.The blue shirts in the courtyard already understood the whole story, and there was no complaint, only two lines of tears, which were blown away by the wind.

"From now on, you are the benefactors of Mrs. Li. I only ask you benefactors..." Li Gong said, swinging his crutches around, and slowly knelt down. The crowd hurried forward to stop, Pushed away by him with all his strength, "Please, come back alive, I can't lose anyone from the Li family..."

The young and strong boy, who had pretended too many things in his eyes, still couldn't hide the two lines of tears, roared, threw the knife and gun he was holding tightly on the ground, knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed his head loudly.

At this moment, they seemed to be mourning for themselves.

When a few sporadic firecrackers sounded in the night sky, Ding Shan really showed up at the warehouse on the outskirts of the city with men and guns, but they found that someone was already guarding them.

Du Hu saw Li Mu leading a few people guarding under the lamp, thinking that there were only a few people, he laughed mockingly and shouted: "Hey! It seems that Mrs. Li's news was delivered in time! But it's useless, that's all A few little thieves are not enough to feed my gun, hahaha..."

Li Mu didn't respond, stood up, gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, his eye bags tightened, and walked slowly to the front, suddenly a huge crowd of people appeared behind him from nowhere.

Du Hu took a step back and didn't continue speaking.

Ding Shan saw that the people led by Li Mu and Li Kong had knives and guns, but he couldn't see how many people were there, and felt that this battle might not be easy.

"Mrs. Mu, we have an order to only take the big smoke from the warehouse, and not to harm you and Mr. Kong, so please avoid it for a while!"

"Take big cigarettes? Dream on you! Since I've come, I have the obligation to let you go! Don't pretend to care about us, who will kneel on the ground and cry for father and mother later? It's not certain!" Li Mu said The voice was so cold that Du Hu was a little scared.

Ding Shan nodded, and continued to say patiently: "Swords and guns have no eyes, so please be careful!"

In the distance, the first cannon rang out, and people on both sides swung machetes at the same time and rushed towards each other.

When Li Kang heard the sound of the cannon, he picked up his gun and stood up, leading more than 30 people to Li's house.But the team led by Li Kang was different from Ding Shan's. They had bare hands and no weapons.The Li family had already lined up a long line waiting for him to come, and the servant held a gun in his hand.The light from the fireworks illuminated the tear stains of the people in front.

As he approached, Li Kang suddenly discovered that the person facing Li Kang at the head was someone he had never expected.

"Gong! Stop it! It's not too late!" Mama He held back her crying, the muzzle of her gun was trembling.

Li Kang looked at He Ma unexpectedly and sadly, and asked, "He Ma, why are you here?"

Ever since Li Kang came out of Li's house, he hadn't visited Mama He very much. He just asked Liang Shu to bring some money and needed things back on time. He kept her secret about the following matters, and didn't want her to be involved.Seeing her again at Li's house now, Li Kang felt mixed emotions in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.

Mama He wiped away her tears and said: "Kang, I don't care what you bring people here for today, I will advise you to give up, you are my son, Mr. Gong and the Li family are also very good to me, don't you Make it difficult for me..."

Li Kang listened calmly, and he understood that the moment he started to vent his anger, he had already betrayed his relatives, and no one stood behind him in this choice, not even his mother who loved him.Li Kang's heart was completely cold at this moment.

He slowly walked up to Mama He, and put his chest against Mama He's trembling muzzle.

"He Ma, if you don't want me to go over, just shoot. One shot is enough."

The sweat from He Ma's palms almost glued the gun to her hand. She trembled all over, cried aloud, and pushed the gun up again. Li Kang shook it and did not hide.

Finally, Mother He couldn't hold it anymore, let go of the gun and fell to the ground, slumped on the ground and cried loudly: "Kang! Why do you have to do this, why..."

The cries almost cut Li Kang alive. He knelt down, raised his hand to wipe He Ma's tears, and said softly, "Mom! I have no choice."

This was the first time he used "mother" as a title, and it was also the last time.

Mother He didn't know about this, she grabbed Li Kang, and begged, "Then can you listen to what mother says, even if you listen to it, don't call me 'mother' anymore, go back, don't hit me, okay?"

Li Kang gently wiped He Ma's tears away, patted her, stood up, and shouted: "Remember my order! No guns! No knives! You can only guard against anyone in blue clothes." Injuried!"

After finishing speaking, he walked through the blue clothes step by step, passed through several dissuading sounds and tugging, and fought hand-to-hand with the black shirt behind the blue clothes with his bare hands.

Li Kang alone is a heavy punch, a long whip in the shape of a human, and an unsharp sword.His ears were full of roars, but he could hear the sound of bones breaking, his throat seemed to be filled with sand, but he could still taste the smell of blood.Countless times, Li Kang was beaten to the ground, and blue clothes appeared in front of the black shirt to block him. The black shirt couldn't kill him, but he couldn't stop him from getting closer to Li Gong.

Li Kang approached Li Gong step by step, and Li Gong stood on the steps, leaning on his crutches, waiting calmly for him to come.

Suddenly there was a shout from a distance, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound. The Feng family's black shirt and white belt brandished a knife, overwhelming.Li Kang took a closer look and saw Feng Yanqing at the end of the line.

Li Kang's black shirt and blue belt quickly pulled out from the blue servants, picked up the knife and gun on the ground, and the two groups of black shirts smashed into a ball instantly.

Before Li Kang could stand still, he was suddenly pushed away by two sky-high men, and fell heavily to the ground. He almost heard the sound of his own bones breaking.

Seeing that Li Kang was in danger, Bai Mao hurried over to help, and began to deal with one of the frighteningly tall white belts.

Li Kang had just fought against a group of people, and his physical strength was already insufficient. Another man came with two strong men, and he was defeated in a few blows. He was still barely supporting his body with his hands, but he couldn't hear anything in his ears, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.

Just as Li Kang was already covered in blood, and was waiting for the giant to slash his chest for the last time, suddenly a long knife stabbed out from the giant's chest, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and was splashed while standing behind him. The terrified Mama He with blood on her face.

"generous!"

Li Kang's supporting arm weakened and fell to the ground.

He Ma supported Li Kang to lie in her arms, stroked his bruised face, and tears fell down Li Kang's neck.

Li Kang smiled and shed tears, this is the embrace he longed for but never got since he returned to Li's house.After a while, Li Kang woke up, stood up slowly, and walked towards Li Gong.

From the beginning to the end, Li Gong stood motionless as if his feet had taken root, his face expressionless, his hands folded on the crutches.

"You won." Li Gong said calmly.

"Do you know what I want?" Li Kang leaned on the threshold and sat at his feet.

"My life." There was no wave in the tone, and it seemed very certain.

Li Kang leaned against the door, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said, "It used to be, but now it's not." As he spoke, he took the topaz finger wrench from Li Gong's hand.

"Now, I just want this." Li Kang carefully put the ring in his pocket, stood up with difficulty, every step seemed to fall, but he persisted, stepped over the black shirts one by one, and shook off the ring. He took the hands of Mama He and all the blue clothes, and walked out.

Li Kang just walked like this, fell down and stood up against the wall, and continued to walk until his feet were numb. In the end, he was in a trance and still did not stop.This is the road he has walked every day for the past 30 years, and it is extremely long today.After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the pier again.

This time, he won, and he heard Li Gong say with his own ears that he won, and he won by himself. Now, this finger-wrench is no longer the Li family's lament.

He was covered in blood all over his body, and he was walking with deep feet and shallow feet. He wanted to go to the place where the pontoon bridge was.But he lost his strength and fell on the bridge which was only a few steps away.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!" Hearing He Guanhai's voice, Li Kang turned over slowly and leaned against a pile next to him.

"Li Kang?!" When Guan hit him in the face, He Guanhai screamed, put down his gun and ran over.

"Guanhai." Li Kang let out a mouthful of blood, smiling just like he did last night.

He Guanhai looked at the blood all over his body and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.He wanted to press Li Kang's wound to stop the bleeding, but now Li Kang seemed to be bleeding everywhere, and it seemed that there was nowhere.

After a while, he finally shouted: "Quick! Call the doctor!!!"

Li Kang grabbed He Guanhai and said, "It's too late, Guanhai, do you remember what I said yesterday?"

"No! No! You have caused so much trouble, you can't die, you're dead, what should I, how can I explain to Lao Zhongtou! You can't die, you can't die..." He Guanhai never thought that he would be flustered one day You have to be like a "nothing guy", as you sneer at yourself.

Li Kang grabbed Guanhai, a tear was dripping on his hand.

"Guanhai, my whole life has always been a joke, but the greatest blessing is to have a good brother like you."

"Don't talk, you'll be fine, the doctor will be here soon..." He Guanhai took his hand and comforted him, but he was actually comforting himself.

"Help me give this back to Mr. Gong," Li Kang picked up the wrench, "He is the elder of the Li family, and the Li family is the only Li family. And please tell him for me, I will tell my father , It's not his fault, don't blame him..."

"Gong..." He Guanhai picked up the ring, crying out of breath.

"I put my life in your hands, I don't worry."

Li Kang slowly released He Guanhai's hand.

He Guanhai knelt on the ground, curled up beside Li Kang, crying bitterly.
