Chapter 61: Initial Movement

  "Grandpa is a horse-riding eater, everyone calls me Scar Six Grandpa, you little kid call me Six Grandpa and that's it. Six Grandpa has something to ask you, if you answer well, Six Grandpa will reward you, if you don't answer well, don't blame Six Grandpa for being ruthless, listen up?"

  Scar Six jumped down from the horse, half squatting in front of the worker who was tied up and thrown to the ground, saying. Seeing that the worker nodded, Scar Six gestured for the ruffians beside him to loosen the rag stuffed into his mouth.

  "Six... Six Grandpa, little... little one... really doesn't know anything... what does Six Grandpa want to ask?"

  Normally, ordinary people who experience this kind of situation would definitely be scared like the master, their whole body trembling, and they can't even speak clearly.

  "Sixth Master! This little brat has scared your old tiger's prestige into wetting his pants."

  A rascal beside him suddenly spoke out loudly.

  "It's all gone to waste, this good set of clothes."

  The scar on his face was quite noticeable, and the person tied up on the ground had a completely wet crotch, with some water marks even on the ground. The new clothes he was wearing were ruined. However, it wasn't bad that they managed to catch a timid master, at least this kind of person wouldn't dare to deceive himself.

  "Why have you been working so hard on building this wall for the past few days?"

  He stared at himself and bumped into a timid master, which was quite suitable, so Cicada Six opened his mouth to ask.

  "This... this thing I'm just a small worker, that... they won't know, only know the factory lets me cover it up, so I covered it up. Working day and night without distinction is also what the factory says."

  Afraid of being afraid, the face in front of him with a centipede scar on his forehead, this Sixth Master, just said that if he didn't speak honestly, he might even lose his life here, who would still dare to deceive.

  "This wall was just started being repaired six days ago? Why didn't they repair it before?"

  "Hmm! Six... six days ago in the morning, the factory asked everyone to come and fix this wall, and it hasn't stopped since then."

  Seeing this fierce-looking Sixth Master only asking these questions, the person actually let out a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that he just wanted to quickly finish answering the questions and then beg Sixth Master to spare himself.

  "Do you know why this wall is being repaired in your factory?"

  This is what Liu Si wants to know the most, although it's generally impossible for a small worker like him to know why this wall was built, he would still hear some rumors.

  "Six... Sixth Grandfather, this matter is really... I truly don't know."

  "You kid haven't heard of what's called trust? We're all from the same factory."

  This kid is so timid, yet he's still so stubborn.

  "This is exhausting work all day long... almost to the point of death, and yet there are people who say this, that even small ones don't know, as soon as they finish work, the little ones just go to sleep!"

  "You're asking for death, your grandma will scold you to death. Believe it or not, grandpa will really chop you up"

  Liuyi heard this and his anger flared up, he cursed, "You're like a pig!" He drew out his big knife and made a move to chop him down.

  "Sixth Master, spare our lives! Sixth Master, spare our lives. I heard from them that it might be related to the shooting last night, but I really don't know anything else, Sixth Master, spare our lives!"

  As soon as he heard that he was going to be killed, the man who had been tied up on the ground suddenly remembered something and hurriedly cried out, saying that apart from this, he didn't know anything else, and could only hope that the evil spirit-like person in front of him would spare his dog life.

  "What! Someone fired a gun the other night?! You little brat, if you know something about it, tell me all about it!"

  Scar Six One heard the kid say that someone fired a shot in the factory a few days ago, and his ominous feeling grew stronger. Could it be that Third Brother was really lured here?

  "Six... six nights ago, at night, we were sleeping soundly when two gunshots rang out and startled us awake. At the time, we all thought it was bandits coming to kill us, and we were so scared that none of us dared to leave our houses. The next day, the factory said it was an accidental discharge by the security team, and then they had us repair this stone wall. As for other small things, I really don't know."

  "Are you sure someone fired a shot six nights ago?"

  After hearing this, Liu Six's heart began to feel uneasy. After searching for the three lazy guys for so many days, it seemed that they had already been beaten to death by them.

  "Oh no... Little one... Don't be so arrogant, old man!"

  "Ah!"

  The more he thought about the anger in his heart, the bigger the scar on Liu's face grew. He didn't want to listen to anyone else, and looking at the worker who had been tied up like a bundle from the factory, where could he still hold onto any fire? With a loud shout, he charged forward with his knife and slashed at the man's neck.

  The person bound to the ground didn't even have time to finish speaking, when Peak's knife blade easily chopped off his head. The severed head rolled to one side in an instant, and blood gushed out from the neck stump, spraying several feet away.

  "Damn it, take this man's head and tell them the big boss is here. Let these people wash their necks clean and dig a hole to wait for us to come and wipe them out to avenge Third Master."

  Scar Six leapt onto the horse, holding the still-bleeding head in one hand and grasping the reins with the other, whipping the horse towards the factory as several of his men hastily followed on their own horses.

  The workers who were working hard under the lamplight did not notice that several fast horses were approaching until the sound of hooves was getting closer, and then only a few workers looked up towards the direction where the hoofbeats came from, seeing a team of several people on horseback rushing over.

  "Ah!"

  Some sharp-eyed workers saw the man at the head of the horse team, who looked like a wicked ghost, holding the reins with one hand and waving something that looked like a human head, still dripping with blood. Even the bravest were frightened by this sight.

  "Listen up, I'm Grandpa Pockmark Liu. You'd better get word out about Third Master's whereabouts soon, or else in three days' time this will be your fate."

  The swift horse ran to the vicinity of the brightly lit factory wall, ignoring the panic it had caused, and loudly shouted at the obviously panicked workers with its head held high.

  "Hmm..."

  A shrill whistle suddenly sounded inside the construction site. The sharp, piercing whistle tore through the night sky. This was a whistle used for communication between members of the factory protection team.

  "No matter which road you're from, since you've killed someone today, you must stay and give an explanation."

  The members of the third company of the guard team, who were on watch nearby, one blew a loud whistle, and another lay behind a pile of stones, holding his rifle in his hand, aiming at this group of horse bandits that suddenly appeared.

  "Get down, everyone get down, hurry along the wall root."

  At this time, another group of night patrol guards who heard the whistle rushed over from one side and saw the workers who had just covered the wall. They didn't have time to run and hurriedly shouted loudly. While shouting, they leaned against a stone wall not far away, about half a person high, holding guns and aiming at them.

  "Sixth Master, they've arrived quickly!"

  The several rascals around Scar Six, seeing that they were being aimed at with guns, hastily surrounded Scar Six on horseback to prevent him from being shot.

  "Today, your grandfather came here, not to fight with you, but to deliver a message. If you don't reveal the whereabouts of San Ye within three days, Grandfather will definitely bring his men to destroy this factory and return the heads."

  Looking at their formation, Liu Six knew it would be difficult to get any benefits. Moreover, today was just a message for them, there was no need to fight with them. As he spoke, he swung his hand and threw the head that was still dripping with blood over the wall.

  "Grandpa is leaving first today and will come back in three days!"

  As he tossed the head in his hand, Scar's empty hand quickly drew out the pistol holstered at his waist. With two guns in hand, Scar felt a lot more confident. He adjusted the horse's head and prepared to leave this place.

  Bang

  Bang, bang, bang......

  Just then, someone from the oral hygiene factory team fired a shot, which ripped open the already tense nerves of both sides. As soon as the first gunshot sounded, Pockmark Liu swung his hand and fired several shots at the oral hygiene factory team members hiding behind the stone pile.

  "Brothers, let them go for now, we'll leave first."

  Taking advantage of the few shots that had suppressed their firepower, he pulled hard on the reins and rode out on horseback, with several of his men closely following behind him, riding their horses towards the distance, the horses and people quickly disappearing into the night.

  "Some people get hurt without it."

  Seeing that the horse thief had already run away, Xu Dafu stood up from under the wall with his gun and shouted loudly. Xu Dafu didn't know who fired the first shot, but it was clear that the other side also fired to suppress this side, and as soon as they suppressed this side, they ran away, hoping no one was injured.

  "Everyone, don't panic, it's okay, it's okay, let's continue working."

  No one seemed to be paying attention, so Xu Dafu shouted loudly while holding his gun. This wall was entrusted by the company and must not be delayed.

  "You guys stay here and watch, I'll go report it."

  Seeing the head covered with dust on the ground, although it looked very scary, Xu Dafu still had someone wrap it in a bag and carry this head to the company.

  "What was going on just now? How is it now?"

  Xu Dafu had only walked a few dozen meters when he ran into Ma Si, who was carrying a gun and leading a group of people to provide support. Before he could even salute, Ma Si grabbed him and asked questions.

  "Report to the captain, a group of horse bandits just came, threw down a head and ran away. We exchanged a few shots with them but didn't leave anyone behind."

  Only one person on our side had the opportunity to fire a shot, and then we were suppressed by the cavalry, it's clear that Xu Dafu didn't want to bring this up, this matter was too humiliating.

  "Ah! Sixth Master, these bastards' guns are no good. At such a close distance, I was only bitten on the leg."

  A mounted bandit, taking advantage of the halt to bind up a wound with a piece of tattered cloth, was laughing and joking. Indeed, the shooting of this militia unit was quite foul. Not more than a hundred yards away, not one man was left standing.

  "Look at them, they're all a bunch of rookies who just learned how to hold guns. But you, poor kid, let someone charge at your legs and it's all over, then another stab upwards and you're done for, you won't be having fun anymore."

  "A bunch of bastards, your family's third child still doesn't know whether he's dead or alive, and you still have the nerve to cause trouble here. Be careful, when you get back, I'll skin you all alive."

  Just thinking of San Laizi's life or death, although he didn't get along with San Laizi in the past, but at this time, he couldn't care about that anymore. Seeing his subordinates' lack of skills and still having the mood to fool around here, Liu Li was furious and scolded them harshly.

  "Six... Sixth Master, calm down, it's just a bunch of blind fools who have provoked you."

  A loafer next to him saw that he was in a hurry and made eye contact with everyone, then persuaded him.

  "Let's go! We have to rush back tonight and tell Grandfather about this letter. Ask him to make a decision."

  Staring at this matter, it's no longer something I can take charge of. There's nothing to do but go back and report to the master, shouting loudly while whipping the horse.

  "Let's go!"
