Chapter 274: Pretending to be rich!

Inside the tunnel, Ma Quan looked at his brothers who were shot into sieves by heavy machine guns. A look of horror appeared on Ma Quan's face. He said to the bandit leader who was also in shock with a stuttering voice: "Boss, why is there a machine gun array in this tunnel!"

Ma Quan's voice brought the shocked bandit leader back to reality. With the help of the torch that fell to the ground, he looked at the brothers who had fought with him in the past, some dead and some injured. This made him feel furious and he cursed angrily, "Damn you, damn you! I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations."

The bandit boss's curse woke up a bandit who was about to faint. With the help of the torch beside him, he saw that he was bleeding a lot. He shouted to the bandit boss with a painful face: "Boss! Save me quickly, I don't want to die yet."

Another bandit, whose legs were broken by heavy machine gun bullets, crawled towards the bandit leader and asked for help in pain: "Boss! My legs hurt so much, please save me!"

Faced with his men's requests for help, the bandit leader knew clearly that the sound of them blowing up the door must have alarmed the surrounding villages. Unless they were willing to give up the treasure, they would have no time to rescue these men who were seriously injured by heavy machine guns. What's more, compared with the treasure here, the lives of these men were not worth mentioning at all.

The bandit leader saw his men crawling towards him and thought that this first trap had already killed half of his men. If there were more traps behind them, they might all die here.

Thinking of this, the bandit leader's eyes rolled, and he shouted to the injured bandits: "Brothers! It's not that I don't want to save you, but in this wilderness, I have no way to save you. But please rest assured, I promise to give all the money I deserve to your families. But before that, I hope you can help me and help the brothers behind me to explore the way inside."

After hearing what their boss said, the bandits realized that this place was not their hometown. The bandits realized that they were doomed and thought of their families. The bandit with a broken leg was the first to say, "Brother! I'll trouble you to take care of my family. I'll be responsible for paving the way for the brothers."

When the bandit leader heard what the subordinate said, he immediately promised him: "Heizi! Don't worry, from today on, your family will be supported by our village. I promise to help you raise your children."

The injured bandits did not believe in these promises 100%, but now they were doomed and could only hold on to a glimmer of hope and do their last bit for the stronghold. So the bandits who were still able to move endured the pain from their wounds and slowly moved their bodies deeper into the tunnel.

Just as these injured bandits, under the deception of their boss, were using their injured bodies to clear the way for their boss, on the other side of the courtyard, Sha Zhu, wearing a Zhongshan suit that he usually didn't want to wear and a pair of shiny leather shoes, was standing at the gate of the courtyard with an expectant look on his face, waiting for the blind date that Yi Zhonghai would introduce to him.

When Yan Bugui saw Sha Zhu dressed up, he immediately smiled and said hello to him, "Sha Zhu! You look like a completely different person today."

When Sha Zhu heard what Yan Bugui said, he replied with a smug look on his face: "No, Mr. Yan! I just don't care about dressing up on weekdays. If I wanted to dress up, I would have married a wife long ago based on my identity as a chef in this steel mill."

When Yan Bugui heard Sha Zhu's answer and saw his conceited look, he was filled with contempt. However, in order to gain some benefits from Sha Zhu, Yan Bugui lied with his eyes wide open: "Sha Zhu! You are right. After all, a cook will not starve to death in a three-year drought. The main reason why you have not found a wife is that there is no one to arrange for you."

"When the matchmaker brings the girl to your house later, do you want me to put in a good word for you and help you make arrangements so that you can get married sooner?"

When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui's suggestion, he immediately guessed what Yan Bugui was thinking. Thinking of the character of the Yan family, Sha Zhu said to Yan Bugui with disdain: "Teacher Yan! You did help your Yan Jiecheng find a wife, but you schemed against her again."

Yan Bugui was furious when he heard Sha Zhu's ridicule, and he quickly retorted: "Sha Zhu! Yu Li's divorce from Jie Cheng has nothing to do with me. Besides, after Yu Li divorced Jie Cheng from our family, she immediately regretted it and even wanted to remarry Jie Cheng from our family. Now she is waiting for me to nod and agree."

When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui's answer, he knew that Yan Bugui was just trying to show off. He sneered at Yan Bugui with a look of disdain: "Teacher Yan! You'd better stop flattering your Yan family. What about Yu Li regretting her decision and wanting to remarry your Jie Cheng? Don't forget that our Yu Shui and Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang are classmates." "Also, last night, our Yu Shui came back and told me that after Yu Li divorced your Yan Jie Cheng, she immediately became a formal worker in the textile factory. Instead of trying to show off, you might as well think about it and help your Jie Cheng find a wife."

Yan Bugui had heard Yan Jiecheng mention that Yu Li went to work in the textile factory, but in Yan Bugui's subconscious mind, even if Yu Li went to work, she was just a temporary worker.

Now Sha Zhu told Yan Bugui that Yu Li was a regular worker in the textile factory. Yan Bugui was very shocked and immediately asked Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu! What did you say? Yu Li is a regular worker in the textile factory? How is this possible?"

When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui's question and saw his shocked expression, he introduced with a look of disdain, "Teacher Yan! I heard from our Yu Shui that after Yu Li divorced your Yan Jiecheng, she accidentally saved an old lady on her way back to her parents' home. But it was a coincidence that the old lady saved by Yu Li turned out to be Yu Li's distant aunt."

"Yu Li's distant aunt was about to retire from the textile factory and was planning to sell her job to go to the north to reunite with her children. Perhaps good things come to those who do good, so Yu Li's distant aunt simply gave her work quota to Yu Li and asked her to help her look for a house in Beijing."

"Yu Li married your Yan Jiecheng, but she couldn't find a job. As soon as she divorced Yan Jiecheng, jobs came to her automatically. Now Yu Li earns more than 30 yuan a month and lives alone in a courtyard. Her life is many times better than when she was in your Yan family."

When Yan Bugui heard what Sha Zhu had said, and learned that Yu Li was not only a formal worker but also earned more than 30 yuan a month, he immediately felt that he had missed out on hundreds of billions of yuan. The pain in his chest made him hold his chest and he walked towards the Yan family in silence.

Liu Guangfu, who was about to go out to play, learned that Sha Zhu was going on a blind date. He immediately remembered what Xu Damao had told him, and quickly turned around and ran back to the backyard. He knocked hard on Xu Damao's door a few times and shouted inside: "Brother Damao! Brother Damao! Open the door quickly."

Xu Damao was sleeping alone in bed when he heard a knock on the door. He looked unhappy and shouted, "Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?"

Xu Damao put on his coat, walked to the door of his house, opened it with his hand, and saw Liu Guangfu standing at the door. He asked Liu Guangfu dissatisfiedly: "Guangfu! What on earth do you want to do by knocking on the door so early in the morning?"

When Liu Guangfu heard Xu Damao's question and saw the impatient expression on his face, he immediately said to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao! Shazhu is going on a blind date today and is now at the gate of our courtyard, waiting for his blind date!"

"What! Guangfu, what did you say? Shazhu is going on a blind date today! Is this true?" When Xu Damao learned about Shazhu's blind date, the tiredness on his face disappeared instantly, and he confirmed the news to Liu Guangfu with disbelief on his face.

When Liu Guangfu heard Xu Damao's question, he answered with certainty: "Brother Damao! If you don't believe me, just go to the gate of the courtyard and take a look. You will know, right?"

Xu Damao came to his senses after hearing Liu Guangfu's answer, and muttered to himself, "How can Shazhu go on a blind date? I have to go to the gate right away to check."

When Liu Guangfu saw Xu Damao was about to go to the gate to find out what was going on, he quickly stopped him in front of him. After signaling Xu Damao with his hand, he did not forget to remind him, "Brother Damao! You said that if I tell you about the matter with the idiot, you will give me some benefits. You can't go back on your word!"

When Xu Damao heard Liu Guangfu's words and saw his gesture, he quickly took out a dime from his pocket, handed it to Liu Guangfu with an impatient look on his face, and then walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
