It was during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty and was located in the South Lake of Jiaxing. The festival is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. The lotus leaves are gradually withered and the lotus meat is full. The singing in the lake was accompanied by the clear laughter of the girls. It was a harmonious and peaceful scene. Unfortunately, there were many years of war and chaos, and it was unknown how many places such a peaceful scene could be seen.
A boy of about five or six years old was lying quietly on the stone platform on the bank. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he was in a shallow dream. He turned a deaf ear to the laughter in the lake. From his tightly knitted brows and sweaty face, one could guess that he was not sleeping soundly, as if he was having a terrible nightmare...
The dark clouds covered the sun, low and oppressive. The scattered dark clouds gathered quickly and rolled together, bursting out dazzling electric arcs as if a group of ferocious beasts were fighting in chaos. The ground was suffocating with muffled booms. The people on the street hurriedly hid in their rooms, and in a moment, they were as withered as the wild and empty land.
"Stop him, don't let him escape!" Suddenly, a shout accompanied by a series of chaotic footsteps came from the alley on the side of the street. The sound did not travel far amidst the thunder, and the oppressive atmosphere did not change. The residents closed their windows tightly and ignored them. He saw 20 to 30 thugs holding steel pipes, knives, chains, and other weapons chasing after a burly man covered in blood. The burly man was nearly 1.9 meters tall and his body was like a giant tower. Perhaps because of his leg injury, his running speed was not very fast. As soon as he left the alley, he was surrounded by people behind him on the street. The burly man's chest heaved up and down as he glared at the twenty or so people around him. He tightened his grip on the baseball bat in his hand. He had snatched it from a hooligan whose hand bone had been broken by him in the last round of fighting. The price he paid was that he had been hit in the back and chest by a steel pipe and a knife.
"Boss Tank, let's see where you can run to this time! Haha…I advise you to obediently follow us back, lest our brothers lose their sense of propriety and take your life. Look at how much blood you've lost, how can you still have the strength to fight us! " I advise you to surrender…" A thug who seemed to be the leader said arrogantly. Seeing that the Berserker General was about to be taken down by him, his eyes lit up with excitement.
The brawny man's name was Lu Yuanba. He was the leader of the Thousand Wolves Pavilion, an underground gang in Muhua City. He had been fighting since he was young and liked to live an exciting life. Therefore, after graduating from high school, he resolutely dropped out of school and joined a small local gang. Even though he could get into any famous university with his third place in the country, he did not care because that was not the life he wanted. After he joined that small gang, he quickly gained a "high position" in the gang with his own skills. He was also fierce, ruthless, brave, and fearless when he fought. He was almost invincible wherever he went, so he won the nickname: " Tank." In a few years, Lu Yuanba had led a small gang of a few dozen people to develop into the Thousand Wolves Pavilion, which now had tens of thousands of people. It could be considered an upper-middle-class organization in Muhua City.
The aggressive Lu Yuanba had never been in a good relationship because he was busy with gang affairs. Now that he was almost 30 years old, his love life was still blank. At most, he would talk nonsense with female netizens on the Internet. Although he had slept with countless women, including many young and delicate virgins, those were only physical transactions. There was no relationship at all. As the gang was gradually getting on the right track, he did not need to keep an eye on them all the time. Therefore, he could not hold it in any longer. He finally sneaked out of the headquarters alone to meet the female netizen, hoping to meet a passionate love. Who knew that he would be targeted by some hooligans at the bottom of the gang, and that female netizen turned out to be just one of the hooligans. As a result, the current scene appeared.
"I'll disarm your mother!" "Bang!" The stick smashed into the face of the chattering hooligan. The hooligan's voice came to an abrupt stop, and he flew out with a miserable cry. Even the two hooligans beside him were pressed to the ground. Looking at their sunken skulls, they would probably be in a vegetative state if they did not die.
"If you want to fight or kill, hurry up and come. Even if I, Lu Yuanba, die on the streets, I won't kneel and beg for mercy. You want me to give up resisting? No way! When I came out, you guys were still drinking milk. You think you can scare me? What a joke! Even if I die, I'll drag a few of them down with me. Haha…Come on!”Lu Yuanba waved his baseball bat and looked down at the crowd. His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, like a god of war standing on the street.
The hooligans were frightened by his imposing manner. A few of them were actually afraid and hesitated whether to continue charging forward. After all, the reputation of the " tank " was once a huge mountain in their hearts. Just as these people were hesitating, a hooligan at the back suddenly said,"Don't be fooled by him. He's already at the end of his rope. We don't have to be afraid of him! I don't believe that after being slashed so many times and bleeding for so long, he still has much strength left! Don't forget that the opportunity is fleeting. We lost dozens of brothers to force him to this point. This opportunity doesn't come anytime soon! As long as we get rid of him, we will be able to 'rise' and no longer be low-level hooligans who are ordered around by others. Don't you want to be the boss and be superior? Then what are we waiting for? Go! Since he couldn't catch him alive, he would kill him!”It turned out that this hooligan was the real leader, but he had been hiding behind.
The hooligans 'eyes were filled with greed as they lit up. It was as if there was a voice in their hearts saying,"Yes! Kill him! If he killed him, he could become the boss!”"Go! Kill him!" It was unknown who shouted, but it was like a fuse that exploded the desire in their hearts. The hooligans 'hearts were instantly blinded, and they rushed towards Lu Yuanba while roaring.
" Haha…That's more like it. You're so bashful like a girl…" Lu Yuanba laughed wildly and wanted to say something more, but the knife in front of him made him unable to look away. He stopped smiling and looked disdainfully at the twisted face of fear and excitement in front of him. Without hesitation, he waved the bat in his hand. Bang!" With two sounds, the gangster's blade was still half an arm away from Lu Yuanba, but it was blown back by his rod. Lu Yuanba had no time to look at the gangster's miserable state. He turned around and faced another steel pipe. He kicked away the short man who was attacking him from the right, turned the bat and smashed it at the fat man on the left. The friction between the bat and the air made a "wu wu" sound, like a desperate ghost's howl, mercilessly harvesting the lives in front of him. In the blink of an eye, six or seven hooligans had already fallen to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. However, Lu Yuanba's body also had a few new wounds. A large amount of blood had been lost, causing him to feel dizzy and weak. He was unwilling to accept this. As the head of a sect, he was actually going to die at the hands of some low-class hooligans. How ironic! Lu Yuanba bit the tip of his tongue and roared. He brandished his bat and charged again, ignoring the gaping wounds on his body. A few more hooligans fell to the ground, screaming in pain. The rest of the hooligans were frightened by Lu Yuanba's desperate aura and did not dare to fight him anymore. They all started to circle around him, waiting for him to bleed too much and fall down. The hooligans on the periphery found some stones and bricks from somewhere and threw them at Lu Yuanba, who was standing in the middle with a bat, causing him to be even more injured.
"Crack!" With a loud bang, heavy rain began to fall from the sky. Lu Yuanba looked up at the sky and roared as if he was responding to the thunder. Blood mixed with rainwater flowed down his trousers and gathered together. The street was really dyed red with blood. "Pa!" A brick smashed into the back of Lu Yuanba's head like a stone from the sky. Blood splattered everywhere. Suddenly, Lu Yuanba's world was quiet, as if he was the only one breathing heavily. The scenery in front of him began to blur. The world spun and Lu Yuanba fell to the ground. The gangsters around him rushed forward and brandished their weapons. Lu Yuanba only felt his chest becoming more and more stuffy. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. His consciousness seemed to drift to the sky. Finally, he felt a wave of irritation and nausea and fell into a dark abyss.
"Ah!" The child on the stone platform on the embankment suddenly woke up and took in large mouthfuls of fresh air. Damn it, he actually dreamed of the scene before his death in his previous life. However, why was his chest tight and his breath short now? He shook his dizzy head violently and saw a four-year-old child sitting on the ground in a panic. He glared and said,"Li Ding, did you pinch my nose while I was asleep again?”
The little doll's eyes turned red." I saw my brother trembling and sweating when he was sleeping. It's the mid-autumn season now. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I wanted to wake you up, but no matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up!"”
"Humph! Naughty boy, I'll let you off this time. Don't let it happen again! Did you come to find me yourself or did Mother send you?”The child rubbed the little cauldron's hair and asked dotingly.
"Ah, I almost forgot. Father came back and said that he was looking for you. Mother asked me to call you home!”Little Liding suddenly remembered and took her brother's hand to rush home. Her anxious look was cute and funny.
The two of them hurried to a courtyard. In front of the vermilion door, there was a ferocious stone lion sitting cross-legged on both sides of the door. A row of green stone steps led straight to the front hall, looking majestic. A horizontal plaque hung above the door with the words: " Lu Family Manor."
