Yin Yong held his M1911 in a trembling hand. He was still hesitating whether he should shoot when the battle ended. Although Yin Yong had fired a lot of guns in school and had shot rabbits with a shotgun when he was young, he did not have the courage to pull the trigger when he aimed the muzzle at someone. Yin Yong admitted that even if the battle continued for a few more minutes, he would not have the courage to pull the trigger. After all, he was still a " rookie " who had just entered the battlefield.
At this moment, 16 of the 17 brothers had already stopped breathing. Only one of them had been shot in the wrist and lost his ability to fight. Looking at the treatment of the others who had their heads " blown up ", one could tell that this was not his luck. The soldiers of the guard squad had seen that he was the leader and deliberately kept him for interrogation.
Soon, the leader was controlled. He was shouting too loudly, like a ghost under the pitch-black night sky. Zhou Zhong directly cut the back of his neck with his hand, and the world instantly quieted down.
" Young Master…" After Zhao Fei ordered his men to collect everyone's weapons, he came to Yin Yong's side."The battle is over. We have consumed 17 bullets, killed 16 enemies, and captured one.”Good heavens, one shot, one kill!
" Alright…" Yin Yong finally came back to his senses."Dig a hole and bury them. Otherwise, they will scare the villagers tomorrow!”
"Yes, Young Master!" Zhao Fei nodded and left. Although they didn't bring any hoes or shovels, some of the comrades who were killed didn't have guns in their hands. Instead, they had machetes in their hands. Zhao Fei and the others just happened to use them to dig a hole to bury their master!
Yin Yong sat down on the grass and took out a cigarette box while trembling. He lit up a Yuxi cigarette and took a long drag before he calmed down. It was no wonder that he had such a reaction. This was the first time someone had been killed in front of him, and he had killed a total of sixteen people. Most importantly, these people had died because of him. It was already commendable that he had not collapsed.
"Stop, who is it?" Not far away, Wang Yu, who was on sentry duty, suddenly shouted.
The two black figures who were supporting each other stopped in their tracks and looked at the person in the night with an uneasy expression. It turned out that this pair of master and servant who were in trouble had found out about the change behind them and walked back together. Just as they were about to go forward to thank Yin Yong and the rest, they were stopped by Wang Yu.
Yin Yong threw away half of his cigarette and got up from the grass. After putting out the cigarette with his foot, he said,"Wang Yu, let them come over!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Wang Yu respectfully said,"Please!"”
"Thank you, sir!" A soft voice was heard.
Yin Yong walked towards the black shadow. When they were about two meters apart, the three of them stopped at the same time. Although the three of them widened their eyes to see each other's appearance, they could only vaguely make out the outline of each other in the darkness. Smelling the faint fragrance, Yin Yong secretly guessed that the two of them should be very beautiful. Otherwise, this group of brothers would not have taken a fancy to them!
"Sir, thank you for saving my life. May I ask for your name? I will definitely tie a grass seal in the future to repay your kindness!”
"Miss is too polite. My name is Yin Yong.”
"So it's Mister Yin. Hello, my name is Zhou Lan, and this is my maidservant, Yu Xiu! If we hadn't met Mr. Yin today, Yuxiu and I would have lost our innocence. Mr. Yin has done us a great favor, and we have no regrets!”In the night, the girl called Zhou Lan bowed and said with a slightly red face. Although she was a new woman, this was the first time she took the initiative to mention her name to others because of traditional values.
"When we see injustice, we pull out our knives…Oh, no, it should be pulling out our guns to help. It's our duty. Miss Zhou, don't mind! Now that all of these brothers have been executed except for one who has been captured, Miss need not worry anymore. It's already late and it's inconvenient to hurry. If Young Lady doesn't mind, you can follow me to the place where I'm staying for the night and wait until dawn to decide on your destination!”
" That's great. I'll have to trouble you, sir…" Zhou Lan said, ignoring Yu Xiu who was tugging at her sleeve.
"What trouble? We're guests too. If you want to talk about trouble, you should talk to the master!”Yin Yong said with a smile.
Not long after, Zhao Fei and the rest had dug a big pit and buried the sixteen brothers in it. Yin Yong got people to collect the weapons of the brothers, and then got Sun Jie and Li Hao to carry the captives. The group turned around and walked towards He Mei's house.
On the way, Zhou Lan also told him why she was being chased by her comrades. It turned out that Zhou Lan and Yu Xiu were originally studying in Tianjing. After the war in Shanghai, their families were worried about their safety and sent a telegram to strongly request them to give up their studies and return to Nage Qing. The two of them were unwilling to give up their studies (mainly because of Zhou Lan. As a maid, Yu Xiu naturally could not refuse). They replied to the telegram saying that Tianjing was very peaceful and they would not be in danger. They requested to finish this semester before returning home. Of course, their families did not agree. They said that if they did not return home immediately, they would send someone to arrest them and bring them home. The two of them had no choice but to end their studies and embark on their journey home. Halfway through the journey, they learned that the government and the Jiaopeng Kingdom had reached a peace treaty. The two of them wanted to go back and finish their studies, so they sent a telegram back to ask for instructions. In the end, they received a scolding. Their family thought that the Jiaopeng people had occupied the northeast last year and then attacked Shangchou this year. Their ambitions were obvious. Tianjing was close to the northeast, and the next time the Jiaopeng Kingdom attacked China, it was very likely that they would start from Tianjing. Therefore, they were not allowed to stay in Tianjing no matter what. If they still wanted to study, they could go back to Naqing first. Their family would help them contact their families to study abroad. The two of them could not resist and could only return to Na Qing.
They had nothing to do after returning to Qing, so they thought of visiting Xiangshui Beach, the West Lake of Shu. The scenery of the Xiangshui Beach did not disappoint them. The two of them really had a feast for the eyes. Who knew that when they were playing, they were discovered by the brothers of the Xiangshui Beach. The leader of the brothers saw the lust and ordered people to capture the two women back to their nest. Unexpectedly, the two women who were like lambs were armed with guns. Wu Lao Er, who was mentioned by the brothers earlier, was killed by them because of a moment of carelessness. The two eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls had never experienced such things. Seeing that they had killed someone with one shot, they immediately lost their sense of propriety and were caught by the brothers who swarmed up.
That night, the helmsman arranged a wedding banquet and prepared to marry a beautiful woman. Unwilling to be humiliated, Zhou Lan and Yu Xiu joined forces to knock out the servant who changed Zhou Lan's clothes and escaped. The helmsman who was waiting in the hall for the wedding saw that the bride had waited for too long, so he sent someone to rush her. Only then did he realize that the bride had actually run away. How could the helmsman be willing to let go of the fat meat that was in his mouth? He immediately led a dozen people to chase after her. The two girls were not strong enough, so they were discovered not long after they ran. If they had not met Yin Yong, their fate was predictable.
After hearing Zhou Lan's words, Yin Yong realized that one of them was in a hurry to escape while the other was in a hurry to chase after them. These " newlyweds " were actually wearing red wedding clothes.
After a while, everyone returned to the village. They did not disturb the other villagers and went straight to He Mei's house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Wu Tao, who had stayed behind, came out to welcome them. He Mei's family of three ran out with an oil lamp in their hands. Perhaps it was to take care of Yin Yong and the others, they had deliberately made the wick longer. The flame was much brighter than before. Seeing that Yin Yong and the others were unharmed, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother Yin, were these two people rescued by you?”He Mei looked at the two girls who were in a sorry state but could not hide their delicate looks. She moved closer to Yin Yong and whispered.
"Yes, they were chased by our comrades and were rescued by us!" Yin Yong nodded.”
"Wow, Big Brother Yin is really amazing. He actually saved someone from the hands of a fellow brother!”He Mei looked at Yin Yong with admiration.
He Mei Niang looked at Zhou Lan in surprise and said,"Why is this lady running around in her wedding dress? Was she discovered by her brother on the way to the wedding? These damned evil thieves, one day the heavens would take them in!”
Zhou Lan quickly blushed and said," No, Auntie. We went to Xiangshui Beach to play. Who knew that there were brothers there? In the end, they captured us and forced me to marry their helmsman. I took advantage of their carelessness and escaped with Yuxiu. Otherwise, it would have been unthinkable!”Zhou Lan didn't tell He Mei's mother, Yin Yong, and the others that they had killed 16 of their comrades. Yin Yong was worried that He Mei's family would be worried, so he asked Zhou Lan to keep it a secret.
After she finished speaking, Zhou Lan could not help but look at the man under the light. They had been in the dark all the way and could not see the man's appearance clearly. Only now did she realize that this man was actually so masculine and handsome under the light.(Actually, although Yin Yong could not be said to be ugly, the words masculine and handsome did not match at all. Zhou Lan had such thoughts because this man had rushed into her heart when she was at her most helpless and saved the damsel in distress in such a fierce way.) People often say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
At this moment, Yin Yong was also taking a look at the girl's beautiful face. This beautiful and delicate girl in front of him instantly captured his heart that had been silent for many years (ever since he broke up with his first girlfriend in a long-distance relationship, he had never found a girlfriend in the past few years)."I want this woman!"
Their eyes met, and both of them felt a little embarrassed. They looked away in a panic, only stealing a glance at each other when others were not paying attention.
"Uncle, come and see if you know this person.”In order to break the awkwardness, Yin Yong said to He Mei's father.
"How would I know him?" Although he said so, He Mei's father still walked over and carefully looked at his brother who was like a dead dog. Then, his expression changed drastically and he said in surprise,"He…he…isn't he Black Hand Chen, the helmsman of Xiangshui Beach?”
"What?" When He Mei and her son heard He Mei's father's words, they couldn't help but be moved. They both went forward to check and couldn't help but say,"That's impossible. How could they have captured him? He had over a hundred men in his hands.”
He Mei's father said with certainty," It can't be wrong. Back then, when we were arguing with him, he was the one who ordered the shooting. He killed and injured many people. I saw it with my own eyes…I will never forget his face!"”
" It's really him…" He Mei and her son had to admit that this person was Blackhand Chen, whom they had feared and hated for many years. It turned out that they had also seen this bandit leader from afar.
Yuxiu also said at this time," Miss and I don't know what his name is, but he is indeed the helmsman of our brother. Miss and I heard our brother call him that!"”
"How did you catch Blackhand Chen?”He Mei's father walked in front of Yin Yong and held his hand.
Yin Yong said," Uncle, it's like this. When we heard the gunshots, I brought Zhao Fei and the others to chase after them. We set up an ambush on the way. When the brothers came over, we fired randomly, scaring them into throwing down their weapons and fleeing in panic. This person was shot in the hand and couldn't run fast. We caught him!”
"Oh, it's like this. This is bad…" He Mei's father said worriedly.
"Father, what's wrong?" He Mei quickly asked. Why is it bad?"
He Mei's father said," Dog, you should know that Blackhand Chen's subordinates are a group of inhumane fellows. They suffered this loss, and Blackhand Chen has fallen into our hands. Those brothers will definitely bring people to take revenge. If they discover that you are showing off your power, you will be in danger! No, show your might. You have to leave immediately, or it'll be too late!”
When He Mei heard her father's words, she also came to her senses and said,"That's right, big brother. Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!”
"What will you do if I leave?" Yin Yong laughed. If those fellow brothers find out that you took us in, they will definitely not let you off!”
" Don't worry about us," He Mei Niang said." We'll just hide at the dog's grandma's house for a while. Anyway, you guys should leave quickly…"
Feeling the deep concern of He Mei's family, Yin Yong could not help but feel touched. He said,"Uncle, Auntie, Xiao Mei, don't worry. I lied to you just now because I was afraid that you would be afraid after knowing the truth. In fact, the people who came with Blackhand Chen were all killed by us and buried in a small road to the west of the village. Don't worry, my brother won't know for a while. Besides, the sky is so dark. If we walk in the dark, it might be even more dangerous if we meet our comrades or fall off the cliff. Instead of that, why don't we talk about it tomorrow morning?”
When they heard that Yin Yong and the others had killed sixteen of their comrades in one go, unexpectedly, He Mei's family did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, they felt relieved and felt the pleasure of revenge.
"Uncle, Auntie, come and take a look. These are the weapons we seized from our comrades…" Yin Yong pointed at the two pistols, eleven rifles, two hunting guns (the kind of sand guns that He Mei used), and four machetes on the ground to show He Mei's family the spoils of war.
Seeing these spoils, He Mei's family was completely convinced that Yin Yong had really wiped out this group of brothers. Although there were still dozens of people in Xiangshui Beach, they would only find out that Chen Heishou was missing tomorrow morning and send people to look for him. At least tonight, Ding Jia Gou was still safe.
Yin Yong recognized the two pistols at a glance. They were the fourth-ranked authentic snake-brand pistols among the one gun, two horses, three flowers, four snakes, and five dogs that the northerners often talked about.
The Snake brand pistol was the Sauer M1913 semi-automatic pistol of the Third Reich. It was named the Snake brand pistol because of the two overlapping "S" factory logo on the body that resembled a snake. The gun was only 143mm long, 530G heavy, 7.65MM caliber, and seven bullets. Because of its small size, it was called a pocket pistol. This gun was not listed in China. Military and police equipment was mainly purchased by merchants, nobles, and gangs. It was a rare kind of money in China.
Seeing Yin Yong playing with the two pistols in his hands, Yuxiu whispered into Zhou Lan's ear,""Miss, that looks like our gun!”
Although Yuxiu's voice was very low, Yin Yong still heard it. It seemed that after Blackhand Zhou captured the two of them, he took their weapons for his own use. As a result, when he was chasing after the two of them, he put on a show of "returning the treasure to its rightful owner." Of course, Yin Yong would not covet the two of their guns. He picked up two spare magazines from the ground and walked to the two of them."Since this spear belongs to the two of you, it should be returned to its original owner.”
Zhou Lan blushed." Thank you, Mr. Yin. These two guns were given to me by my elders. I dare not lose them. Please forgive me, Mr. Yin!"”
"Miss Zhou, you're too polite!" After returning the guns and spare magazines to the two of them, Yin Yong turned his head to look at the guns on the ground. The hunting rifles were automatically forgotten. He was mainly looking at the 11 rifles. He recognized two of them. One of them was an old barrel, and the other was a new Type 88. In fact, these two rifles were the 1888 rifles of the Third Reich Committee copied by the Hanyang Munitions Factory. The early production of the Committee Committee had a barrel outside the barrel, hence the name Old Sleeve. Later, the modified version removed the barrel. Hence, it was commonly known as the New Type 88. The gun was 1250mm in length, 4.06KG in weight, and 7.92MM in caliber. It could hold five rounds and had a maximum effective range of 1300m. The gun entered the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century, and its production time lasted until 1944. It was still in service in China until the Peninsula War. The gun had been produced for half a century and served for more than 60 years. Whether it was the 1911 Revolution, the warlords, the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War, or the Peninsula War, it could be said to be a meritorious old gun. It was said that the Zhongzheng rifle had made great contributions to the victory of the Chinese war. In fact, the production of Zhongzheng rifles at that time was relatively low. The Chinese army was mainly equipped with this old meritorious rifle. It could be said that without Hanyang's production, the war might have had a different ending! It needs to be explained that because the late Qing government was superstitious about Mauser rifles, in order to make a deal, the arms dealers of the Third Reich lied to the late Qing government that the gun was a Mauser rifle. This lie lasted for 20 years. Until the founding of the Republic of China, many people still insisted that the gun was a Mauser rifle. In fact, the two had nothing to do with each other.
