Chapter 363: Escaping the Predicament

Some people's fate, ah, is truly fickle and changeable.

When Yang Qing, with two women, sat on a tractor heading toward Qinjiacun.

In a grove of trees along the way.

Gui Laoqi, with two people, was anxiously waiting for something.

Hou Liu pounded his waist, growing more anxious as he waited.

"Old Seven, you say Yang Qing's kid will really go to Qinjiacun?"

Gui Laoqi pinched the stick in his hand, stretched his head to look into the distance.

"He should come; I've inquired clearly, Yang Qing's kid has a close relationship with Qinjiacun."

"Now he has nothing else to do; there's no reason not to go to Qinjiacun's invitation."

Long Wu fiddled with the pot lid in his hand, his gaze calm; he was used to the two bickering brothers.

"All right, why are you so impatient, what does it look like?"

"This time Yang Qing isn't coming; does he mean he'll never come?"

"We have plenty of opportunities."

"Or let's think again about what to do after our action, the matter of fleeing."

"How are the two of you preparing?"

"Don't drop the chain at the crucial moment."

Gui Laoqi is called Gui Laoqi because this guy has many ghostly ideas, appears and disappears mysteriously, and is adept at gathering information.

"As long as you follow the route I pointed out for you, our three families will soon meet in the Taihang Mountains."

"Using the mountain road, we head south; if we can reach Fangcheng Wei, Yang Rong can arrange to meet us."

Long Wu took a hard drag on his cigarette.

They took this route to create an illusion that they had gone into the mountains.

Or put another way, they were using themselves as bait to draw attention away from Yang Qing.

It wasn't that they didn't want to bring Yang Qing; it was that his father wouldn't allow it. They chose the mountain road because they were familiar with it, and their families were born from the loess, and they had picked up a smattering of martial arts.

Hou Liu weighed the stone egg in his hand, anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks.

"I say we shouldn't have brought so many people."

"Big and small, we brought a bunch—are we fleeing disaster or going on a trip?"

Long Wu kicked him.

"All you know how to do is mess around, ruin other people's wives, and have others raise your kids?"

"You're not taking anyone with you?"

Hou Liu gave a hehe laugh.

"Bring, Widow Liu will come with me."

Long Wu was stunned.

"What about her child?"

Hou Liu laughed even happier.

"That's my daughter."

Long Wu and Gui Laoqi: "Holy shit………"

"Old Six, you also mess around with women who are living well?"

"Her husband wasn't killed by you, was he?"

Hou Liu shook his head.

"No, she killed herself; that woman found that scoundrel to live with, originally just a cover."

"That scoundrel is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and likes to beat women."

"It's strange that he hasn't died yet."

Gui Laoqi hated that iron couldn't be made into steel.

"Aren't you afraid she'll kill you?"

Hou Liu said disdainfully.

"Then she'd need that ability; women, you don't understand—if you're stronger than her, subdue her in bed, and have a child, she won't be able to leave you."

Long Wu kicked him.

"Maybe she approached you for other reasons on purpose."

"You think you're the hunter, but you're actually the prey."

"We haven't leaked our plan to her, right?"

Hou Liu scrambled up the tree in a few moves.

"You think I'm stupid; life's so boring, I'm just playing around."

One more unstable factor.

Gui Laoqi and Long Wu exchanged a helpless glance.

Just then, a putt-putt-putt sound came.

Hou Liu up in the tree had already taken up his binoculars to look.

"The target's here, brothers, get ready to act."

Long Wu and Gui Laoqi instantly ducked into the prepared cover.

Liu Yan was still angry about being bullied, but she still had her basic qualities; upon entering the grove, she became alert.

Qin Huairu, however, found Liu Yan uncomfortable to look at.

Ruining his own good fortune.

Yang Qing chatted with the driver off and on.

They were discussing the current changes in Qinjiacun.

As they entered the deep forest, suddenly a burst of dust rose.

The driver's view was limited; the vehicle veered and crashed straight into the forest.

Seeing that they had run into a robbery, Yang Qing scooped up Qin Huairu and jumped out of the car.

Liu Yan reacted almost as quickly, jumping down right after him.

As soon as she hit the ground, she rolled, dove behind a tree, and reached for her gun.

With a bang.

A stone smashed toward her hand.

The gun she had just drawn clattered to the ground.

Then Long Wu and Gui Lao Qi rushed forward and gave Liu Yan a brutal beating.

Yang Qing clutched Qin Huairu and ran a few steps frantically, seeing no one in pursuit.

Hearing Liu Yan's anguished cries, Yang Qing hesitated, set Qin Huairu down, and prepared to rush back to rescue her.

Just then, a voice came from above him.

"Yang Qing?"

Yang Qing froze.

"What are you doing?"

Hou Liu gave a heh heh laugh.

"We were summoned by your father."

"What?"

Yang Qing's face showed shock.

This bastard, can't even get a person— is he trying to intercept someone?

"Ahhhhh..."

Liu Yan screamed as she was beaten.

Yang Qing hurriedly said, "Don't beat her to death."

Hou Liu didn't expect Yang Qing to be so tender-hearted.

But he still shouted.

"That's enough— she's the little shopkeeper's woman."

Qin Huairu was also completely dazed.

"What's going on? I just went home, got intercepted, and these people even know Yang Qing."

No one answered her.

By now Liu Yan was beaten to a bloody mess, a miserable sight.

She was currently being pressed to the ground by Long Wu with a pot lid.

"Why use a pot lid? Haven't you heard she's the little shopkeeper's woman? Men and women shouldn't be intimate."

Yang Qing hesitated, then walked over.

"What's going on with you guys?"

Long Wu explained to him.

"Your father sent us to rescue you."

Yang Qing said nothing.

"And then? Doesn't he know I still have a wife and kids?"

Gui Lao Qi spread his hands.

"We don't care about that."

Yang Qing looked at the three men before him, who were of his uncle's generation, and didn't know what to say.

"Got a plan? How are we leaving?"

Long Wu shook his head.

"Your father said, as long as you take care of the tails around you, you can handle it yourself?"

"Holy shit, the old geezer's been watching him— he seems to know a lot."

Liu Yan, pinned underneath, threatened.

"Yang Qing, if you leave with them, you're done for."

"If you turn yourselves in now, you might still get leniency."

Yang Qing rolled his eyes.

Then he pulled Long Wu and walked away.

He kept feeling that Liu Yan couldn't hear him, so he whispered.

"Does the old man really have no plan to get me out?"

Long Wu really nodded, whispering.

"Really none. Nowadays there are no brothers left in the country— either dead or fled. Guys like us have plenty of descendants and don't want to stir up trouble."

"Right now it's just the three of us, so we basically have no manpower."

"If you want to get out, it's up to you."

"We're planning to take the mountain route."

First, to draw your attention away.

Second, we know the mountain roads; back then we could get things others couldn't, relying on our familiarity with the small paths.
