Chapter Twenty-Two: The Door Bolt

  Li Qin took Xu Xiaoni and followed Jing Ming to the county prison. The county government was not very big, and the prison was in a courtyard on the right side. There were only a few prisoners inside. Tang Jie couldn't even issue rations for the soldiers, let alone spare food for prisoners. If it wasn't for serious crimes, they would be scolded and punished to do hard labor, and very rarely would they be locked up in prison.

  As they walked on the road, Xu Xiaoni said in a low voice: "Jin Ge, look at the kind of people you've picked up, all are losers, mad dogs that bite people. If you take in this kind of person, won't you be having headaches every day? It's easy to take them in, but it's not easy to get rid of them!"

  Li QIN turned back and stared at him, saying: "Don't talk nonsense, I've also taken in Jing Qi, if you speak ill of him and let Brother Jing hear it, wouldn't that be awkward?" He spoke without lowering his voice, intentionally wanting Jing Ming to hear.

  Jing Ming turned back, sighed and said: "Never mind, my nephew is indeed a troublemaker, I know it in my heart. But permit me to remind you, little brother, that while it's fine to talk about him behind his back, never do so to his face, or he'll flare up with his heroic temper and shout for your elimination!"

  Xu Xiaoni was indeed a honest child, pouted and said: "I'll just stay away from him... um, I'll stay away from all these people."

  As they spoke, they arrived outside the great prison.

  A large prison. The prison has no windows, the smell is unbearable, only near the entrance, a small oil lamp is lit, the light is like a bean, and it cannot illuminate every corner of the prison.

  At the gate of the prison, an old prison head stood, looking terrified at what was happening inside and pleading: "Two grandpas, please don't make any more trouble. If you keep fighting, you'll knock down the whole prison house! This house isn't sturdy!"

  The layout of the prison is simple, just a large room divided into two halves by a wooden fence. The outer side near the gate is where the warden stays, and after the wooden fence, there is only one cell, with only three prisoners inside.

  In the cell, two men stood against the walls on either side, both with their fists clenched and glaring at each other fiercely. Both were robust men with broad shoulders and waists. The man on the left had disheveled hair and a face full of whiskers, resembling a large gorilla, wearing tattered leather jacket, his fist as big as a sand pot; The man on the right was exactly the opposite except for having fists of similar size, he was bald with no facial hair, bare-chested, muscles bulging, and covered in tattoos - an eagle on his head, a wolf on his neck, and the wolf's head was tattooed on his face, taking up half of it. His chest and back were also covered in various animal tattoos, including tigers, leopards, wolves, and insects.

  Between them, leaning against the wall and crouching was a prisoner. Those who could be locked up in such a large prison were all tough guys, but this prisoner didn't know how to be tough outside, yet here he was trembling like a chicken. If he wanted to avoid being mistakenly injured, he could only shrink away, he was very clear about how ferocious and cruel the two strong men were.

  A burly man covered in tattoos said with a scowl: "Old Wu, if you hadn't stolen my horse, would I have ended up locked up here?"

  That big ape snorted and said, "Surnamed Shen, if you hadn't chased me, I wouldn't have been able to get in! You should learn from that Hu merchant's example, lose your horse and go cry somewhere else, how dare you still chase after me? Truly ignorant of life and death!"

  The tattooed strong man is Shen Yi, and the great ape is Wu Xiaosan.

  "Are you looking for death? Fine, I'll show you what it means to die!" With a loud roar, he charged at Wu Xiaosan, fists flying.

  Wu Xiaosan, despite having the word "small" in his name, didn't have a single small part on his body. His courage was even more impressive, and he immediately charged forward, engaging in a fierce fight with Shen Yigong!

  The two people's fighting skills are evenly matched, otherwise they wouldn't have knocked each other out last time and gotten caught, and today they're at it again with no clear winner!

  Bang, bang, crash! The two men were now entangled in a fierce fight. Wu Xiaosan bit down on Shen Yi's shoulder, causing him to yelp loudly and push Wu Xiaosan away with great force. Wu Xiaosan's back crashed into the wooden railing, producing a loud thud that sent the railing crashing to the ground!

  A large amount of dust and dirt flew about, the prison head loudly cried out for help, opened the door and escaped!

  Ke Lao escaped, but Shen Yi and Wu Xiao San, the two prisoners, did not escape. Instead, they continued to fight each other with a loud crash, enjoying themselves immensely. They even scared the prisoner who was curled up into a ball, causing him to wail in tears. This prisoner wanted to escape, but he couldn't get away. As soon as he stood up, he would be at risk of being mistakenly injured, and it wouldn't be just a minor injury!

  Li Qin and others had just arrived at the gate of the prison, when they saw the gate wide open, and the warden ran out, shouting for help! Li Qin immediately stopped in his tracks and asked: "What's going on here?"

  Jing Ming was even more surprised and said: "I'm not clear!"

  Li Qin took a step forward, grabbed his collar and said: "What's going on inside? Who wants to take your life?"

  The prison head was trembling all over, his six senses were gone, he pointed inside the prison and said: "It's a fight, it's started!"

  Li QIN pushed him away, shouting: "Brother Jing, wait a minute, let me go in and take a look!" He came to the door and saw a half-person-high door bolt stuck beside the door. He picked it up with his hand and entered the prison cell.

  As soon as he entered the prison cell, he waved his hand to brush away the dust in front of him and squinted to see that there were two sturdy men fighting inside. They must be Shen Yi and Wu Xiaosan, those two sworn enemies!

  Li Qiner didn't say a word, nor did he ask any questions. With both hands holding up the door bolt, he jumped into the fray. No matter who was in front of him, he held up the door bolt and stabbed repeatedly, the sound of metal piercing flesh!

  Shen Yizheng was getting more and more excited, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his lower back. He let out a loud cry and pushed Wu Xiaosan away, turning around, but as soon as he turned around, he was stabbed hard in the abdomen! Shen Yi let out a muffled sound, was stabbed until he lost his breath, took two steps back, and sat down with a thud, right on top of the prisoner behind him, pressing him to the ground and knocking him unconscious.

  Wu Xiaosan was shocked, who is so powerful that he knocked Shen Yi down with just one move? He looked at Li Qin and shouted: "Who are you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was hit by a door slam on his right ribcage, causing him to bend over in pain. As he lowered his head, he heard a loud bang and was hit again on the back of his head, making his eyes see stars, and with a thud, he fell to the ground. It's true what they say, "with your head rushing to the ground", if it weren't for his thick hair, he would have fainted from the impact!

  Li Qin stood up straight and shouted: "You scoundrel, how dare you fight in prison? Are you trying to start a riot?"

  Shen Yi scrambled to his feet and shouted loudly at Li Qin: "Who dares to hit me? I'll report it..."

  Li QIN took a step forward, the door bolt in his hand stabbed out again. Li's gun method had only one move, as fast as lightning, especially when the opponent was caught off guard and hadn't adjusted their breath yet, it was sure to hit!

  With a loud crash, Shen Yi was hit again, his eyes rolled back, and he sat down once more. Poorly, the prisoner under him was pressed twice, where could he reason with that?

  Suddenly, someone outside shouted, Li QIN turned his head to look, and saw Jing Ming and Xu Xiaoni all leaning against the door, looking inside, while the prison chief stood outside the door with a stunned expression, like a wooden chicken!

  Xu Xiaoni shouted loudly: "Qin Ge, how come it took you half a day to knock the man down!"

  "Good... ah, is this still slow?"

  Li Qindao said, "Sorry about that, I've been neglecting my martial arts practice for the past few days and my movements have slowed down a bit, making me look like a joke in front of Brother Jing!" He bent down, grabbed Wu Xiaosan who was still dizzy and stumbling around, pulled him by his hair, and dragged him out of the cell.

  Jing Ming was also stunned after hearing Li QIN's words and stared at Li QIN as he dragged Wu Xiao San out of the cell.

  Li Qin threw Wu Xiaosan to the ground and pointed at Shen Yi in the cell, saying: "Those who don't obey come out and fight again!"

  Shen Yi was not convinced, he never convinced anyone, jumped up and shouted loudly as he rushed out! But before he could steady himself, the door bolt came again, he dodged too late, his eyes wide open as he watched the door bolt poke into his right ribs, his body tilted to one side, his butt hit the ground, this time no one was there to cushion his fall, and he fell with a thud!

  Wu Xiaosan finally came to his senses, propped himself up from the ground and said: "This... what's going on?"

  Shen Yi had always been the one to beat others, never losing a fight. Even when he clashed with Wu Xiao San, it was only a draw. But today, he suddenly found himself on the receiving end of a beating, and a brutal one at that. He couldn't swallow this humiliation. However, he learned his lesson and didn't jump up again. Instead, like a leopard, he crouched low and pounced towards Li Qin. He wanted to grab Li Qin's waist, take him down, and then straddle him, punching back!

  This move was quite effective, and he actually succeeded in getting his hands on Li QIN. After pouncing over, he actually hugged Li QIN's waist, but Li QIN held the door bolt with one hand and made a fork shape with two fingers of the other hand, poking them straight at Shen Yi's eyes!

  Shen Yike didn't expect that there was such a move under the sky, even more ruthless than biting! He was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes, but still fell for it, his eyelids hurt terribly, hurting him to let go of Li Qin, covering his eyes with both hands, and falling to the ground, shouting: "It hurts, it hurts!"

  Wu Xiaosan was scared stiff! He was a ruthless person, and he also acknowledged that Shen Yi was just as ruthless. The two were evenly matched, neither willing to back down from the other. But suddenly seeing Shen Yi, who was just as ruthless as himself, being beaten by an even more ruthless young man until he was rolling on the ground in pain... He immediately retreated backward, keeping a safe distance from this young man!

  Inside and outside the courtyard, applause erupted, cheers and shouts of praise filled the air!

  Li QIN turned his head to look, and unexpectedly, dozens of people had gathered inside and outside the courtyard. The onlookers were excited, their faces flushed with excitement!

  Jing Ming led the way, shouting: "Li Lang is great!" Following this shout, a burst of applause erupted.

  Li Qinchong smiled and said: "Too much praise, too much praise! It's been a long time since I practiced martial arts, my hands are rusty, and my moves are much slower than before!"

  Everyone shouted: "This is still slow, what will it be like when it's fast?"

  At this time, Shen Yi put down his hands covering his eyes, his eyes were red and swollen, tears all over his face, he shouted: "You, who are you!"

  Li Qindao said: "I am Li Qindao from Fugang Village, you two have joined the army, from now on I will be your squad leader! Are you Shen Yi or Wu Xiaosan? Don't cry, swallow it back!"

  Shen Yi wiped away her tears and said, "I didn't cry..."

  Jing Ming said from behind: "He is Shen Yi, and that one is called Wu Xiao San."

  Wu Xiaosan took a deep breath, steadied his nerves and said: "You ambushed us two, I don't accept it, let's fight again!" As he spoke, he stood up, but kept a few steps away from Li Qin. Shen Yi also got up and wiped away her tears.

  Li Qindao said, "If you want to fight again, that's fine. But I'm sure you two haven't eaten your fill in prison. Come home with me and I'll roast some mutton for you to eat. After you've eaten your fill, we can fight again if you like. That way, no one can say I took advantage of hungry men, which would be unchivalrous."

  Turning around, Li Qin said to Jing Ming: "Nothing else, right? I'll take them back to Fu Jiao, and the remaining two will trouble Brother Jing to inform them to come find me. Oh, and there's also the military uniform and weapons..."

  Jing Ming hastily said: "I'll have Jing Qi send you off, there's nothing else to discuss. Take them away, and be careful on the road, these two are not good people!"

  "Brother, you know!" Li Qin and the other man waved their hands, saying: "From now on, abandon evil and follow goodness, follow me to be a good soldier, let's go!" As he spoke, he turned around, took the lead in walking, but the door bolt in his hand was not put down.

  Seeing Li Qinxue with his back to himself, Shen Yi and Wu Xiaosan exchanged a glance, both gritted their teeth at the same time, and pounced over together!

  "Be careful, Li Lang!"

  Among the reminders, Li Qin suddenly turned around, and they knew that they were not convinced and had made preparations early!
