Chapter 7: Hanging by a Thread

  After a while, Hua Lieyang brought Yang Yutong and two bodyguards into the wooden house. Hua Lieyang took out all the hidden weapons and said: "Grandfather, take these weapons with you when you leave! I'm always worried about leaving them here! However, you can't take that package of things next to it! I want to use them to protect Mom and sister!"

  Hearing Hua Lieyang's words, Yang Yuteng looked at the weapons on the ground and picked one up to try it out, asking: "These guns seem to be well-preserved! Where did you get them from?" As he spoke, Yang Yuteng seemed to remember something and asked: "I recall that someone said recently that the local bandits, Tuo Lao Cai and his men, were wiped out..."

  Before Yang Yutong could finish speaking, Hua Lieyang interrupted: "It was me who did it! If they hadn't tried to kidnap my sister and shot and wounded my father with a gun when he was hunting with the villagers, I wouldn't have gone after them!"

  At this time, Ma Longhai, the bodyguard standing beside Yang Yutong, accidentally discovered that Hua Lieyang had placed a sniper rifle in the camouflage net. He curiously picked it up and looked at it, then asked Yang Yutong: "Is this gun yours?!"

  Hua Lieyang nodded and said, "It's mine! I'm the one who used this gun to take care of those bandits!" Upon hearing Hua Lieyang's words, Ma Longhai couldn't believe it and said, "General, my friend told me last time when we were drinking that Tuo Lao Cai's gang was annihilated with all of them being shot in the head or between the eyebrows! If young master has such marksmanship, I suggest you take him with you, General. At least he can guarantee your safety better than us!"

  When Yang Yu heard Ma Longhai's words, he furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before smiling and saying: "Let's not mention this now! We're here to hunt today!" He then said to Hua Lieyang: "Bring all the weapons you want! When we get back, just say I gave them to you! That way your parents won't say anything!"

  "Thank you, Grandpa!" Hu Lieyang said, looking at Yang Yutong and continued: "Grandpa, I've also brought all the valuable things from the bandit's den! Will you help me deposit them into a Swiss bank?!"

  Yang Yu heard Hua Lieyang's words and burst out laughing, saying: "Lieyang, I really admire you! Alright, so Grandpa will be a good person to the end!"

  In the blink of an eye, Yang Yutong took Hua Lieyang to stroll around the mountain and was about to go down the mountain when Hua Lieyang suddenly heard a tiger's roar. Immediately, he used the sniper rifle's scope to find the target. After a while, Hua Lieyang said to Yang Yutong beside him: "Grandpa, you're lucky again today! Your grandson will shoot a tiger for you to drink!" As he spoke, Hua Lieyang pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle.

  On the side, Yang Yutong held Hua Lieyang's binoculars and looked at a Northeast tiger. As he fell to the ground with a bullet in his forehead, he exclaimed: "Good marksmanship!" Next, Hua Lieyang saw Ma Longhai bring another guard over, and soon the two of them carried the dead tiger back.

  Seeing the tiger's corpse, Hua Lieyang smiled and asked Ma Longhai: "Uncle Ma, do you have a dagger on you?!"

  "Got it!" Ma Longhai took out the dagger. Hua Lieyang took the dagger and pressed it on the corpse of the Northeast Tiger, and in the blink of an eye, a tiger skin was peeled off by Hua Lieyang! Then Hua Lieyang cut a stick, strung up the tiger meat, and brought it down the mountain. Just as they were about to get into the car at the foot of the mountain, Yang Yutian was about to open the door when Hua Lieyang shouted alertly: "Wait!"

  Upon hearing Hua Lieyang's voice, Yang Yutong stopped in his tracks. He then saw Hua Lieyang carefully walking to the car door with Ma Longhai's dagger, looking around before saying: "Grandfather, move aside!" As he spoke, Hua Lieyang drew out a Tokarev pistol and smashed the car window glass with the gun handle, removing the hidden landmine from the car door. He then wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "Grandfather, who did you offend?!"

  Yang Yutong said with a strange expression: "I don't know either!" As he spoke, Yang Yutong looked at Hua Lieyang and asked: "How did you discover that something was off?!"

  "I was just pinched by a red cloth on the car door when I got off the bus!" Hu Lieyang said directly. After hearing Hu Lieyang's words, Yang Yutian suddenly had an idea in his heart!

  Before they knew it, Yang Yutong and Hua Lieyang returned home with a full load of game. As soon as the car stopped, Yang Yutong smiled at Hua Xunri standing in the doorway and said: "Ziteng, aren't you coming to help?! Today's luck is great, we caught a tiger!"

  As soon as Yang Yu heard the words, Hua Yun ran to the side of the car. At this time, Hua Lieyang said: "Dad, look at this gun sent by Grandpa!" Hearing Hua Lieyang's words, Hua Yun smiled and said: "Originally I wanted to wait until you were a little older to give it to you! Now that your grandpa has given it to you, you must use it well!"

  "I understand!" Hua Lieyang said seriously.

  After lunch, Yang Yutong smiled and picked up Hua Anqi, saying: "Mei mei let's go! Grandpa will take you to town for a stroll!" Upon hearing that they were going to town, Hua Anqi happily exclaimed: "We can play in town again!"

  Seeing Hua Anqi's happy look, her mother Yang Fenglan smiled and said: "Dad, when you go, take that tiger skin to the fur store in town to deal with it! Otherwise, the tiger skin will be useless!"

  "I know!" Yang Yutong said, carrying Hua Anqi into the car. After Yang Yutong left, Hua Lieyang frowned and said, "Mom, we almost didn't make it back today!"

  "What's wrong?!" Mother Yang Fenglan asked anxiously.

  Hua Lieyang then told his mother Yang Fenglan in detail about the bomb that had been placed on the car. After a while, his father Hua Xunri walked in and said: "Fenglan, we have to move! Just now I saw several people lurking around our door!"

  Upon hearing his father's words, Hua Lieyang curiously picked up the binoculars and hid in a corner to observe the surroundings. After a while, Hua Lieyang suddenly spoke out: "Dad, Mom, the ones monitoring us at our doorstep are Japanese!"

  "Japanese?! You must be kidding me?!" Father Hua Yun said in disbelief.

  "I can be sure! Because I've heard that only Japanese people like to leave a small mustache under their nose, called a 'Hitler'!" Hu Lieyang said seriously.

  Hearing that it was a Japanese person, Hua Xun thought for a moment and said: "Wait until my father-in-law comes back and ask him! After all, we are not by his side now, and there are many things we don't know!"

  "Alright! Let's talk about moving house tonight!" Mother Yang Fenglan turned and walked into the kitchen. After his mother left, Hua Lieyang took out the Browning and started playing with it. Seeing the gun in Hua Lieyang's hand, Hua Xunri smiled and asked: "Son, what did your grandfather give you?"
