"The fourth time. A trip to the old town
Chapter: 4289 Words
The call was from the Black Tiger Gang. They had found out about Chi Ze's situation and kidnapped Chi Ze's younger brother, Chi Han.
" What do we do now? Call the police or…" the bespectacled player asked. "Kaga, do you think calling the police will solve this?”Chi Ze asked back," In my opinion, we can only rely on ourselves.”
I walked up and placed my hand on Chi Ze's broad shoulders."Not you, but all of us.”
I looked around at the team members and everyone nodded." Alright, then everyone go and prepare. I'll discuss countermeasures with Senior Kaede and Senior Red Choice.”Ember said to the players.
"Pi, Fan, Qian, you guys go back first, we have some things to deal with here.”I walked over to them and told them that I didn't wish to involve the three of them in this troublesome matter.
"Feng, we are all best friends. If you have any difficulties, we will definitely help you. Senior Chi Ze has already told us about your matter. Don't worry, we will work hard together to solve these problems.”Pi spoke his mind.
"Alright, then let us defeat evil together.”Ember hugged the five of us together.
I told everyone about my relationship with the Black Tiger Gang.
"So, what should we do now?”Fan asked.
"Our first task is to find Chihan and rescue him. As for what the Black Tiger Gang wants to do to me, we can talk about it later.”As I spoke, I looked at the corner again. He was no longer there. I didn't know when he had left, but he had left silently. However, I don't have time to investigate his identity.
" Squeak…" The gymnasium's door was opened, and the dazzling sunlight pierced through my eyes like a sword. Slowly, the dazzling white light dissipated, and a group of youths stood at the door.
They slowly stepped into the stadium. There were about thirty people on the other side. I looked at the eleven people beside me. Jin, Fan, Qian, Qi, Chi Ze, three players, and two substitutes. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with them.
I looked at the other party coldly. The bald man squeezed in the middle and pointed at a person who might be the leader. The man waved the knife in his hand and said to me,"You're Mu Jifeng, right?"
"That's right." I clenched my left fist and the blood in my veins began to boil.
He looked at my angry fist and smiled."Don't worry, we're not here to fight you today. Chi Ze rushed in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the tall Chi Ze,""You are…Chi Ze?"
"Where's my brother? Where was he? If anything happens to him, I won't let you off!”Chi Ze roared furiously.
He took a few steps back and put away his blade." Think carefully. I'll give you a week." Mu Jifeng, if you don't want anything to happen to your friend Chi Han, you'd better come to us with 800,000 yuan.”Then, he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Oh, right, don't even think about calling the police. We'll kill the hostage.”After saying that, he put his hand on his neck and made a gesture of cutting his neck with a knife. Then, he led everyone out of the stadium.
"Why don't we fight them?" Fan asked," That's right. It's not like we can't beat them.”Qian added. I could only stand there silently and slowly loosen my left fist. "Stop arguing. Kaede has her own plans.”said Jin.
"Everyone, go back first. I'll discuss this matter with Kaede.”Jin said to everyone," Chi Ze, don't worry. We'll think of a way to save Chi Han together.”
Only then did everyone disperse. Before leaving, I saw Chi Ze's eyes filled with grief and worry.
I drove home with Ash. When we got home, we closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and sat beside the bed. "Do you feel that what happened today is strange?”I opened two cans of Coke and handed one to Ash.
" That's right. Why did the other party find out about Chi Ze's situation in less than 24 hours and kidnap Chi Han? There's no connection between them.”Ember was also puzzled.
I closed my eyes and lay on the bed.”"Abnormal?" Jin frowned and asked. Where is it?"
" Think about it. Why did they pass by that abandoned square last night? He wouldn't pass by that place from the basketball club to his home. Also, when I asked Chi Ze about that mysterious person, he didn't tell me anything.”I raised my doubts.
"Then what do you think happened?”Jin finished the coke in one gulp and squeezed the can in his hand until it was only a pile of scrap metal…
On Monday, we went back to school. We were all so calm and pretending that no one would know what had happened to us. On the basketball court, I couldn't see Chi Ze and the school team members training. That mysterious person also disappeared from my sight once again.
I began to feel uneasy because what I was facing this time was no longer an ordinary matter.
A week passed quickly. It was a light rain on Thursday night.
I sat alone by the window, recalling the strange things that had happened these days.
The diary on the table was placed there. Flipping open the yellowed page, the rusty handwriting appeared in front of him again.
When I was very young, my parents were not at home. They were busy discussing business and making money, but they had no time to care about me.
He would often sit on the cold floor alone, staring at a pile of wood in a daze. It was late at night. There was always a thin figure leaning against the window, looking around, hoping for the familiar car to enter the line of sight, but there was no one. I always hid under the blanket in the dark and secretly cried.
After school, I started to be bullied by others. Almost everyone gave me the cold shoulder. In the corner of the street, I was always beaten and scolded by my senior classmates. I didn't dare to fight back because I was afraid that I would be beaten up even more cruelly when I got home.
So I started to be afraid of going to school and going home. I once fantasized about escaping from here, but where can I go? After entering middle school, it was still the same. Being ignored by my classmates and beaten up by my family, I learned to rebel. I began to hate this kind of life, hate this world, and hate the ignorance of human nature. I felt that the people who came and went around me were so shameful, hateful, pathetic, laughable, and pitiful.
I began to wave my fists and hit the people who bullied me. My personality began to become more and more eccentric and extreme. It was all because this world and I were unable to balance each other.
" Finally, I met Ember. He entered my life and I began to change. Then, Pi, Fan, and Qian also came to my side. Friends, music, my soul, and Chi Ze who cared about me like an older brother.
Also, the her in a faraway place…
He lifted the short sword, and the silver-white blade emitted a trace of coldness.
The sword was three feet long and made of titanium alloy. The hilt was made of silver and was engraved with ancient words that I couldn't understand. At the intersection of the hilt and the sword, a blue jade was embedded. It was transparent in the dark night and reflected my heart.
When the old man who taught me martial arts handed me this sword that he had treasured for many years, he said,""What you see is the illusion of life. There was no absolute right and wrong, light and darkness, justice and evil, joy and sorrow. Everything was relative. Even if everyone gave you the cold shoulder, you couldn't give everyone the cold shoulder. The opposite was the meaning of existence.”
I didn't understand the last sentence...
Friday passed quickly. There were only two classes in the afternoon. After school, Ash and I quickly rushed to our respective homes.
When I reached home, I took out a travel bag and packed a few pieces of clothing and emergency medical supplies. I took out a short sword and hid it under my clothes before rushing to Chi Ze's house. Jin arrived before me, and his luggage was simple. A few pieces of clothing, a first aid kit, a rifle, and nunchakus. A few minutes later, Huan, Fan, and Qian also arrived.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's make a plan.”The six of us gathered around the table. "We only have seven days of leave. We must save Chihan within seven days. Also, everyone must be careful when they reach the old town. There are many gangs there. If you are not careful, you may get into unnecessary trouble.”I said," When we arrive at the old town, everyone will split the work. We will ask about Chihan's whereabouts while paying attention to the Black Tiger Gang's movements. We must find the best time to take action!”
"By the way, what did you tell your family?”Jin asked. "Don't worry. I said we'll go on a trip together.”Fan said. "I told my family that Chihan went to participate in a foreign language exchange program.”Chi Ze tidied his luggage. "Then let's go." I stood up. Everyone looked at each other and picked up their luggage.
Chi Ze called two taxis, and the six of us set off for the old town. I looked at Chi Ze, who was sitting on the right."Chi Ze, this matter was caused by me. But don't worry, I will save Han even if I have to sacrifice my life.”"Kaede, don't be calculative." Chi Ze smiled. We are friends who share difficulties. Let us work together to defeat our opponents.”His strong hand held mine.
An hour and a half later, they arrived at the old town. Even after a long time, the place was still as ancient as ever.
"Everyone, go find a hotel to settle down first. I'll go find someone.”I told Chi Ze.
"You alone? Let Jin accompany you." Chi Ze wasn't too assured. "It's okay. You guys go ahead. I'll contact you on the phone later.”I turned around and walked into the most secluded alley…
The fragrance of tea leaves wafted in the alley, and along with the desolate sound of the Hu Qin, strands of gloomy emotions filled his heart. I know that this is an old man sitting alone in an alley.
Walking forward, the old man sat in front of the door with his eyes closed and played the Hu Qin. The beautiful melody echoed in the desolate air. The quiet alley was so cold.
"You're here." The old man stopped the bow in his hand, but his eyes were still closed.
"Yes."
"Is it about the Black Tiger Gang?”
"That's right," I smiled faintly.
The old man sighed and opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life."Didn't I tell you not to come to the old town again? Aren't you afraid…"
"No, I can't run away anymore. I want to use the sword you gave me and the principles of being a human to defend justice.”
The old man stood up, turned around, and walked toward the door." Feng 'er, come in with me…" I gently walked into the old man's house. Nothing had changed. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were still so bright. I closed my eyes and stood among the flowers. He felt this brief silence.
The old man walked out of a room with a backpack in his hand. He handed it to me and I took it with both hands. He opened it and saw a small and exquisite pistol. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary pistol. Its range and accuracy were excellent.
This was different from the guns that ordinary police officers had. It was more like the guns used by special agents or special forces.
Although I had never come into contact with firearms, I had some general knowledge in this area. Other than the gun, there were also more than 20 boxes of bullets and a brocade bag.
"This…I don't know how to use a gun." I was surprised why the old man gave me a gun, and even more surprised that an old gardener had a gun!
The old man smiled." It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it. As long as you have that feeling, you can learn it very quickly."”
"Now?" Can I learn it so quickly?" The old man didn't answer. He took out a piece of rubber rope and picked up a piece of scrap metal. He tied them together, then picked up the gun and tied one end of the rubber rope to the muzzle.
"Come, hold the spear with your left hand and aim at the spider plant in front of you. Raise your hand horizontally and hold on for two hours.”I didn't understand, but I still raised the gun with the scrap metal hanging from it. This piece of iron was at least six to seven pounds. With the distance of the rope, the strength was doubled. Soon, his arm felt sore.
The old man turned around and entered the house. Then, the desolate sound of the Hu Qin came out again…
At eight o'clock in the evening, I carried my backpack and walked out of the alley. My left arm and left wrist were still faintly hurting. What was the use of the old man's training method?
The phone rang in my ear. It was from Jin. He told me to quickly rush to a bar called Black Cat in the ancient town. I hung up the phone and ran in the direction of the bar.
When they reached the entrance of the bar, Jin, Fan, Qian, and Yu were waiting outside. "Kaede, come here quickly." Qian whispered and waved me over. I quickly walked up to them.
"Senior Chi Ze has already gone in and is currently negotiating with the Black Tiger Gang. We will wait here and rush in as soon as there is any movement.”He said to me.
How did the Black Tiger Gang know we were here so quickly? Chi Ze and the others did not even consider it. The Black Tiger Gang would not negotiate patiently. They were people who did things with brute force. As long as they achieved their goals, they would use any means. They would not care about honesty.
Sitting in a small corner outside the bar, we took turns to observe. The noise of the bar's lights reached our ears. It was very discordant in this peaceful old town.
"Bang!" The sound of wine bottles breaking began to become noisy, and the curses became more and more intense. I jumped up and rushed into the bar with my short sword. Ash and the others also picked up their weapons and rushed in.
Chi Ze was smashing a wine bottle at a person's head. Red liquid dripped down, but it was unknown whether it was wine or blood.
Everyone in the bar picked up their things to participate in the battle. Some were dragging stools, while others were carrying wine bottles. More than 40 people started to mix together. The chaotic rhythm of the music became more and more intense. Jin threw a steel stick to Chi Ze. The six of them fought desperately. Jin's nunchaku, Fan's iron chain, Qian's military knife, and Gui's baseball bat. I had never seen them so crazy. Was this human nature?
This time, it seemed that the opponents were not easy to deal with. Everyone had some skills. Although Fan, Qian, Jue, and Chi Ze had learned combat before, they did not have much of an advantage.
The other party's attacks intensified, and everyone's eyes turned red. Fan and the others could not hold on any longer, and Ash was still fighting the dozen or so people who surrounded him. I glanced at them. Everyone was injured to varying degrees. They wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
" Beep..." A sharp car horn sounded outside the door. Everyone on the other side immediately ran out of the door. Everyone had yet to come back to their senses, leaving only the broken scene. Could it be the police? However, this kind of fight was very common in the old town. The police usually wouldn't show up.
I chased after them, but they were all gone…
