Chapter 163 Beware of Strange Guns
At the same time, Li Kailang also returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the hanging flower gate, I saw a group of residents walking out from the central courtyard, with strange looks on their faces and talking about something.

Li Kailang suddenly became curious. Normally, people from the front yard would not go to the middle yard unless there was something important.

Li Kailang shouted to Cui Yuan: "Brother Cui!"

Cui Yuan also noticed Li Kailang, "Xiao Li, you're back!"

Li Kailang looked at the people who had returned and couldn't help asking, "Brother Cui, what happened in the courtyard?"

“Nothing.” Cui Yuan was about to explain, but Cui Gang at the side said first: “Brother Li, let me tell you something!”

Li Kailang looked at Cui Gang and saw his excited face. "Okay, then tell me what it is?"

Cui Gang drew a big circle and said mysteriously: "You don't know, a big thing just happened in the Intermediate Court."

"Xu Damao threw the shit from the shit stirrer into Jia Dongxu's mouth. If you go to the Intermediate Courtyard, you will see that Jia Dongxu has vomited all over the floor."

Li Kailang was shocked: "I didn't expect that Jia Dongxu has such a strong taste that he even dares to eat shit! I admire you so much!"

Cui Gang was full of admiration: "Really? I don't know who did it, but it's really well done! I think their family has been unhappy for a long time, and this person has done a great thing!"

Looking at Cui Gang's applause, it was obvious that Cui Gang did not have a good impression of the Jia family and was still resentful towards them.

Cui Yuan saw the two people talking loudly outside and worried about the bad influence, so he stopped them in time:

"Okay, it's not good to be outside. If they see you, how will they view you?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Gang stopped immediately with a look of regret on his face.

But Cui Yuan's next words made Cui Gang ecstatic: "Go home and take pictures, no one will see!"

Cui Gang shouted happily: "Great! Brother, you are so nice!"

Cui Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Cui Gang's innocent appearance.

He patted Cui Gang's head gently and said, "Okay, go back!"

Cui Gang immediately ran back home happily.

Looking at Cui Gang's back, Li Kailang muttered to himself: "I think Bang Geng probably did this!"

Cui Yuan didn't hear clearly, and asked in confusion: "What?"

Li Kailang looked around and gestured to go to his home to talk.

After entering the room, Li Kailang repeated, "This should be done by Bang Geng!"

"Awesome?"

Cui Yuan thought about it again and again, and felt that Banggeng’s character was indeed bad, but he had not done anything out of line yet.

"No, from what I've seen of Bang Geng, although he has bad character, he's not that bad. Besides, he's never done that before."

He immediately suspected that it was Bang Geng who did it, and Cui Yuan found it a little hard to believe.

Li Kailang explained: "Just because Banggeng didn't do it before doesn't mean he can't do it now. Besides, how do you know he hasn't done it or hasn't been discovered?"

"Also, with the Jia family's education, it's only a matter of time before Bang Geng wants to do it."

"This"

After thinking about it, Cui Yuan felt that what Li Kailang said made sense.

While Cui Yuan was thinking, Li Kailang focused his attention on his ears and heard a subtle cry.

Listening more carefully, it sounded like a scream.

Li Kailang concluded: "This was done by Bang Geng, he can't escape."

"Huh?" Cui Yuan was a little confused.

How come you said before that it might have been done by Bang Geng, but now you are so sure about it.

Seeing Cui Yuan's puzzled expression, Li Kailang explained: "Listen carefully, do you hear any screams?"

Cui Yuan held his breath and listened carefully for a while, but shook his head: "I didn't hear anything!"

Li Kailang asked: "Didn't you hear it?"

Cui Yuan looked helpless: "How could I hear any sound? This place is so far away from the Jia family, what can I hear?"

"Is that so?" Li Kailang muttered to himself, almost forgetting that his hearing had been modified.

"It's okay, let's go to the middle courtyard. We'll definitely be able to hear it if we go now."

After saying that, the two came to the middle courtyard.

Li Kailang looked at the empty central courtyard, and the two of them cautiously came to the door of Jia's house to eavesdrop.

"Ah!!!" The voice was full of fear and pain.

"Woooooo~"

"Will you dare to play with shit again? Ah!" An angry male voice sounded, full of majesty and unquestionable.

Then there were even louder cries.

"Dad, I won't dare to do it again, wuwuwu, I won't dare to do it again!"

"Dongxu, stop hitting him, stop hitting him, the stick is about to break!" Jia Zhang tried to stop him, but it sounded like it was of no use.

The sound of the stick hitting flesh accompanied by the crying of the child was chilling.

Jia Dongxu's anger had not subsided, and he continued to hit Banggeng hard with the broom. Every hit was accompanied by Banggeng's cries.

"Grandma, save me! Save me!" Banggeng's cries became more and more shrill, and he hid behind the quilt.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang felt heartbroken. She quickly climbed onto the bed and held the stick behind her.

"Good boy, hide behind grandma."

Holding a broom, Jia Dongxu pointed at Jia Zhang and yelled, "Mom, get out of the way. I'm going to beat this unfilial son to death today! He actually made me eat shit. He has made me lose face!"

Jia Dongxu's face turned pale, and his eyes flickered with anger.

Jia Zhang stood in front of Bang Geng, looking stubborn and refusing to give in at all.

"Dongxu, if you want to hit someone, hit me. I'm your only grandson. If you want to hit someone, beat me to death first!"

At the side, Qin Huairu, who was pregnant, also gently advised: "Dongxu, calm down! Calm down!"

Jia Dongxu looked at the crying Banggeng, the anger in his heart surged like a tide, but when he saw the two men protecting Banggeng, he knew he couldn't fight anymore.

With a cold snort, he threw the broom in his hand to the ground and turned away.

"Snap!" The broom broke into two.

Li Kailang, who was hiding outside the door, heard the footsteps approaching and immediately pulled Cui Yuan away.

"Squeak--" The door suddenly opened and Jia Dongxu stood at the door with an angry look on his face.

"Bang!" It slammed shut.

Jia Dongxu looked at Li Kailang and Cui Yuan who were standing outside the door with nervous expressions. They must be eavesdropping outside the door.

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he wanted to beat up the two of them for a moment.

Li Kailang said, "What are you looking at? Is Jia Dongxu looking for a fight?"

As he spoke, he stretched his body and looked at Jia Dongxu with a smirk on his face.

"Hmph!" Jia Dongxu could only snort coldly and leave.

It’s not like Jia Dongxu hasn’t beaten Li Kailang before, but he just can’t beat him, no matter how angry he is.

Watching Jia Dongxu leave with an indignant look on his face, Li Kailang smiled contemptuously.

He turned to Cui Yuan and said, "You guys should be more careful in the future. Banggeng did what he did today. Who knows what bad things he might do in the future."

Hearing this, Cui Yuan nodded, but he still held out a glimmer of hope:
"However, Bang Geng is so young. After being taught a lesson today, he probably won't do that again in the future."

Li Kailang sneered: "Brother Cui, you are still too kind. If it were someone else, it would be a one-time thing, but not a second one."

Li Kailang pointed to the Jia family: "But, the Jia family is an exception. Look at what happened to Jia Zhangshi. The Banggeng incident started first, and it will never stop."

After hearing this, Cui Yuan murmured to himself thoughtfully: "That's it!"

Li Kailang looked at Cui Yuan. He knew that his words had already worked. Today he was just giving him a reminder so that he could be prepared.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. Be careful next time and hide valuable things at home. That's always a good idea."

Cui Yuan agreed: "You are right, we must hide it well!"

It's not that Li Kailang deliberately belittled Banggeng, but it's the fact that the family, or the Jia Zhang family, had a very bad influence on Banggeng.

A bad guy who has just awakened meets an old bad guy who is bad to the core.

Li Kailang only planned to remind the Cui family. As for the other residents, he was not that familiar with them and they might not believe what he said.

"Okay, it's time to go back. There's nothing exciting to see."

The two were about to leave when they heard intense footsteps behind them.

Looking back, I saw Liu Guangqi walking hurriedly from the back door.

There was a deep anxiety in Liu Guangqi's eyes. He glanced at the two of them quickly and nodded slightly.

Then he continued to walk quickly, as if something important was waiting for him.

Li Kailang looked at Liu Guangqi's back, frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling curious.

He turned around and asked, "Hey! Brother Cui, what has Liu Guangqi been doing recently?"

Cui Yuan looked at Liu Guangqi, thought for a while and replied:
"He hasn't actually done anything special recently. He's mainly been staying in the warehouse, keeping records of the incoming and outgoing supplies."

Li Kailang asked again: "That's all? Is there nothing else?"

Cui Yuan shook his head. "There's nothing to do in the warehouse. It's all our job as unloaders. He just records the incoming and outgoing materials every day." Li Kailang had a puzzled expression on his face after hearing this. "Really? Then his job is easy. Then why is he so busy?"

Cui Yuan shrugged: "I don't know. I've never seen him like this in the steel mill. But he's not having an easy time either. I see he looks sad every day."

"Hmm?" Li Kailang turned to look at Cui Yuan, "Tell me in detail."

"It's nothing. Although Liu Guangqi stays in the warehouse every day, he always looks sad when he gets to work. He only feels better on salary day."

"I don't know what he worries about every day. Such an easy job, how many people would envy him." Cui Yuan looked confused.

Hearing this, Li Kailang understood something. "Is that so? Then I can guess what it is."

Cui Yuan was confused: "What is it?"

Li Kailang asked, "You only know what Liu Guangqi's academic qualifications are, right?"

"Isn't it just a technical secondary school?" Cui Yuan replied as a matter of course.

"It's a technical secondary school, but look at what kind of work you're doing now?"

"Just the account-keeping officer!"

Li Kailang continued to guide Cui Yuan's thinking: "Then think about what other technical secondary schools are doing?"

Cui Yuan didn't even think about it and said, "Become a cadre!"

Suddenly, Cui Yuan understood the reason.

Other graduates from technical secondary schools are moving towards becoming cadres, but he is now just a warehouse attendant.

The future is over and there is no way out.

Liu Guangqi is still young, in his early twenties, and has a great time ahead of him.

He still has ambitions for a future, but now he is trapped in this small warehouse.

Life is easy, but there is no future, which makes him live in dire straits every day.

Especially after trying so hard to find a way out in the past few months, but with no change so far, my resentment towards Liu Haizhong has continued to deepen.

If it weren't for Liu Haizhong's unreliable arrangement, he wouldn't be trapped here.

After graduation, he could have become a leader in another factory, but now he is working in a small warehouse.

Some of his classmates who graduated with him have already established themselves on the road, but he is still a warehouse attendant.

This gap was unacceptable to him and made him confused and anxious about the future.

"Okay, don't bother with him. He must have his own ideas. We may never see him again in the future." Li Kailang muttered to himself.

"Why?" Cui Yuan asked.

"Nothing!" Li Kailang replied.

In the plot, Liu Guangqi never returned after leaving the courtyard.

After returning home, Li Kailang rested for a while while he still had some spare time before going out again.

"Let's buy some supplies first. I also need to go to the trust to buy a bed. It's a good opportunity to buy some other things as well."

Although Li Kailang has carpentry skills and can make one, it still takes a lot of time to build a bed and it is not as convenient as buying one.

“I discovered some drawbacks during this long trip. It’s best to prepare furniture in the planting space.”

“When the space doubles, I might as well build a house inside.”

Li Kailang still bought a step-out bed, and it was made of mahogany.

Sleeping on this kind of bed feels like sleeping in a small house.

Although the growing space is safe, safety is one thing and getting used to it is another.

The next day, after work.

Li Kailang waited for half an hour until most people had left before heading towards the armory.

Li Kailang looked at Uncle Ding who was pretending to sleep and whispered, "Uncle Ding, I'm here!"

Uncle Ding raised his eyelids, "You're here! Why are you so late?"

Li Kailang said as a matter of course: "How can this happen so early? It has to be done secretly, right?"

Uncle Ding smiled and said, "You are thoughtful, kid."

After some simple pleasantries, Li Kailang couldn't wait.

"Uncle Ding, please bring it to me quickly."

Uncle Ding chuckled and teased Li Kailang, "You kid, you're anxious!"

"Okay, I've equipped you!"

Without teasing Li Kailang for too long, Uncle Ding stood up and took out a small bag from the drawer.

When the bag was opened, it contained 100 rounds of 7.63mm bullets.

"Hey, let's count. One hundred rounds, no more, no less."

Li Kailang took the bag and took a look at it, then said directly, "Why count? What Uncle Ding gave me is definitely enough."

Uncle Ding pointed at Li Kailang and shook his hand, "Boy, you trust Uncle Ding so much!"

Li Kailang said confidently: "Of course, our brothers and sisters trust you so much, it must be right."

"Uncle Ding, can you please calculate how much is it?"

Uncle Ding shook his head: "Forget about the money. These bullets are not worth much. Just consider it a gift from Uncle Ding."

The cost of a bullet is only a few cents, no more than 1 cents at most, and 100 bullets only cost 10 yuan.

Plus, Uncle Ding works in an armory and can make his own bullets, so it doesn’t even cost $10.

"Uncle Ding, what's going on?"

Li Kailang wanted to explain something, but Uncle Ding didn't listen. He turned around and went to the armory behind him.

I took a dusty box off the shelf and blew away the dust gently.

Opening the box, a jet-black submachine gun was revealed.

Uncle Ding stroked the gun gently, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

After a while, he came to Li Kailang with the gun box and handed it to him.

"This is a good thing. I relied on it to achieve great feats on the battlefield."

This is a PPSh41 submachine gun (Soviet-made), also known as the People's Submachine Gun and the People's Revolver.

It uses 7.62mm bullets and can be fired in single or continuous mode.

It can be equipped with a 71-round drum magazine and a 35-round curved inline magazine.

The effective range is 200 meters, the single shot rate of fire is 40 rounds per minute, and the continuous shot rate of fire is 900 rounds per minute.

This gun played an outstanding role in the Korean War.

Li Kailang looked at the submachine gun in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement.

He carefully took the submachine gun, feeling its heavy weight, as if he could sense the war years it had experienced.

"Uncle Ding, this gun..." Li Kailang was a little excited and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, stop nagging and take it!" Uncle Ding waved his hand and interrupted Li Kailang.

"I'll give you this gun, but you have to remember, it's not just a weapon, it's also a responsibility. Don't use it to do anything illegal, or I won't forgive you!"

Uncle Ding looked at Li Kailang seriously, his tone revealing deep expectations.

Li Kailang nodded solemnly: "Uncle Ding, don't worry, I know what to do."

Uncle Ding looked at Li Kailang's determined eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Kailang picked up the PPSh41 submachine gun, looked at it carefully, and felt its unique charm.

Not only is the gun new, but the bullets are also new and reflect light, which shows that it has been maintained regularly. It was also taken out for maintenance yesterday.

The dust on the iron box seems to be its protective layer.

"Okay, okay, take the guns and bullets and leave quickly. Don't stay here and embarrass yourself!" Uncle Ding said impatiently.

"Oh! Uncle Ding is right. I'll leave first!" Li Kailang took the iron box and bag in a funny way and left as if he was running away.

"This brat!" Uncle Ding said unhappily.

After Li Kailang's back disappeared, Uncle Ding sat in the chair and spoke in a daze.

Li Kailang came to a remote corner with a submachine gun and bullets, his heart full of anticipation and excitement.

"With this gun, and some bullets, I won't have to worry about danger when I go out in the future."

Li Kailang seemed to see himself holding a submachine gun and bravely fighting the enemy in the wild.

He was like a god of war, suppressing the enemy so much that they could not even raise their heads.

"Hehe~" Thinking of this, Li Kailang couldn't help but smile.

"However, we don't have many bullets now, so we can't fire them many times."

Along with the gun, there are about 200 rounds of ammunition, and with a 71-round drum magazine, you can only fire it three times.

After that, the 35-round curved inline magazine will still be the main one.

"We still need to get more bullets, but where should we get them? That's another problem."
