Chapter 33: The evil villain took advantage of the situation
Chapter 33: The evil villain took advantage of the situation
Zhou You was in a coma for five days, and during these five days, there was no news about him.
In the martial arts gym, there was a commotion because Fang Guiqi exposed Xu Mei's identity. Afterwards, the apprentices kept their mouths shut and were not allowed to leak a single word.
Five days is enough time for many changes to occur in the outside world.
For example, in the current major event, Tu Laosan thought he had failed and took the opportunity to counterattack the Zhou family.
"Fugui, do you know anything about Shanwa's family?"
The news that Shanwa's family was burned to death by the Wild Fox Gang had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
This is the consequence of offending the Wild Fox Gang.
Song Fugui gritted his teeth and nodded, "So what if I know? At worst, my whole family will move out of the city."
Their family also had connections outside the city, so even if they left Gongliang City, they could still travel around the countryside selling oil to make a living.
"Good brother, don't go."
Zhou You patted him on the shoulder and said, "All the oil spilled today is on me."
After saying that, Zhou You raised his leg and took a step forward, causing a gust of wind to blow up from the ground.
Song Fugui's eyes blurred and a strong wind blew in his face, and he immediately lost track of Zhou You.
"So fast?"
When Song Fugui thought of the cruel methods of the Wild Fox Gang, he felt a little depressed and buried his head in picking up the scattered oil poles.
He felt a little uneasy, because his father would definitely blame him since he knew he was so impulsive.
It is too stupid to get into trouble with a gang for a friend and force the whole family to flee the city in a hurry.
However, Song Fugui did not regret it!
He inherited the slick character that his father developed while doing business, and he also had a bit of mercenary nature. However, ever since he entered the martial arts gym to learn Kung Fu, his mind has changed. In this chaotic world, small people must rely on the strong to survive.
Zhou You is the potential stock he chose, and he believes in his own judgment.
The current efforts will surely bring rich rewards in the future.
……
Widow Li pinched the rag tightly and was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
She saw the scene in front of Lao Zhou's door: a large group of Wild Fox Gang thugs were shouting, cursing, swearing, and throwing stones.
The ground at the entrance was full of potholes and some smelly dirt.
The Zhou couple hid in the house and dared not come out.
However, how long can a wooden door hold out? It was easy for the Wild Fox Gang to break in. It was only a matter of time.
Not long ago, Tu Laosan came with his men to cause trouble, claiming that Zhou You was seriously injured and the martial arts school would not protect their family.
The neighbors didn't believe it at first, but no one seems to have intervened until now.
"Could it be that Zhou You was really injured and died?"
Widow Li was daydreaming when two uninvited guests at the stall urged her on.
"Pour another pot of wine, Madam, what are you doing in a daze?"
There were two burly men sitting at the stall, their hands were covered with calluses and their eyes were bloodshot and murderous.
They are the masters of the Wild Fox Gang, and they came here with Tu Lao San to provide protection.
Widow Li noticed that Tu Laosan was very polite to both of them and invited them to sit down at the wine stall to rest and have a drink.
These two people support Tu Lao San.
"Sir, I'll be right here."
Li Gua's hands trembled uncontrollably. She thought of Shanwa's family who were burned to death, and she seemed to smell the burning smell.
Now that Zhou You is gone, isn’t the Zhou family about to face the same fate?
The two big men at the stall were named Wu Gang and Du Dayou, both masters of the Wild Fox Gang.
They belong to Tu Laoer's army, are fierce warriors who charge into battle in the gang, and have strength at the power level.
The two were sent by Tu Lao Er to protect his younger brother, but they were dragged here to show off. "A commoner family is worthy of such a big fuss. Tu Lao San is really useless."
Wu Gang shook his head. He was convinced by Tu Laoer, but he disagreed with his younger brother.
This is a waste, he can do nothing but eat, drink and have fun.
Du Dayou agreed with this and nodded, drank a bowl of rice wine, and his eyes fell on Widow Li and became greedy.
His action was seen by Wu Gang, who immediately stopped him, "Stop it, this woman's lover is a constable."
"What happened to the constable?"
Du Dayou complained a few times, but ultimately did not use force against Widow Li.
Wu Gang watched for a while and whispered to Du Dayou, "We couldn't get any information before. They said Jianxiong Martial Arts School was keeping a close watch and no news came out."
"The apprentices in the outer courtyard have all been silenced. Not a single word can be heard."
"It was only then that a clever boy bribed the servants in the kitchen and got the news."
"The son of this family is Zhou You, the one who joined the martial arts school to seek shelter. He is now seriously ill and bedridden. He can't walk, let alone practice boxing."
Wu Gang said this with some approval, "He is just a commoner, but he knows how to survive from death. He uses the martial arts hall to check and balance my gang. He is a promising talent. If we give him a chance, he is likely to become something great."
"What a pity, fate plays tricks on us."
"The servants in the kitchen said that a conflict broke out in the outer courtyard. One person died and one was injured. The injured person was Zhou You."
When Du Dayou heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, it's him. He got seriously injured before he could develop his strength. There's no hope for him."
"That's right, Tu Lao San thought so too, and he couldn't wait to bring people here."
Wu Gang looked expressionlessly at the door of Old Zhou's house. The wooden sign representing Jianxiong Martial Arts School was crumbling.
“When the time limit is up, the martial arts school will expel Zhou You and take away the wooden sign. The men will do what they are told. This family will surely die.
Hearing that it was another job to wipe out the whole family, Du Dayou yawned, "It's just a small matter, why would you and I need to do that?"
An elderly couple with an injured son. Without the protection of a powerful force, a few gang members could kill their entire family.
"Hey, the city has been in turmoil lately, and outsiders are ready to make trouble. Second Master is worried about his brother."
"Second Master has been so worried about this thing. If I had such a cowardly brother, I would strangle him to death with my own hands to have peace of mind."
Du Dayou drank up the wine and urged Widow Li, "Bring another pot of wine. Your wine has too much water in it, so it's not drinkable."
But there was no response, because Widow Li's eyes were dull and she was frozen in a certain direction.
"Xiao Zhou is back."
Isn’t the figure returning from the street the son of old Zhou?
……
"Third Master, you can't use fire."
One of the gang members looked embarrassed and pointed at the wooden sign hanging at the door.
"Second Master said that the martial arts hall's wooden sign cannot be touched at all, and brothers dare not cause trouble."
Even though the gang members around were shouting and making a lot of noise, they all stopped at the door and didn't dare to take a step forward.
Stones and cow dung also moved around the wooden sign and were randomly scattered on the ground and walls.
The fundamental reason is that the reputation of Jianxiong Martial Arts School is so intimidating that the Zhou couple have been hiding until now and are still safe and sound.
"Excuse me, why hasn't the martial arts school come to take back the wooden sign yet?"
Tu Laosan had just ordered his gang to set fire and smoke the place out, but the gang members were afraid of burning the wooden sign and did not dare to take action.
He was cruel and somewhat irritable, and was about to explode.
I heard a gang member exclaim, "Someone's coming from the martial arts school."
Finally they came. Once these people took away the wooden sign, he could kill as many people as he wanted.
Tu Lao San breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard, "It's not another apprentice, it's the son of the old Zhou family. Why is he back?"
The other person is obviously seriously injured and bedridden, so how come he looks so healthy and able to walk so fast?
