Chapter two hundred and six life and death

"Who?" A man's roar came from the yard, and he was so angry that he was very impatient.

"Please ask, are there any available rooms for rent here?" It was very natural for Li Tianchou to learn and sell it now.

The iron door creaked and opened, and a stout man in his fifties appeared in front of Li Tianchou. The man was messy, shirtless, and drunk all over his body. "Who told you that I rented a house here?"

"A friend of my surname is Zhang." Li Tianchou had already thought of the lines in advance, but did not explicitly say that it was Zhang Jiming.

The man tilted his neck and thought for a moment, turned to the side, and opened the door, "Damn, I'm all over my head now, I can't remember what I'm calling Zhang? Are you coming from the county?"

"Yes, come here to do some small business." Li Tianchou flashed into the air, "Boss Zhang told me that his family also lives here, so he introduced me to come over and took care of each other."

The old strong man closed the iron door casually. Maybe he had drunk too much, he suddenly squatted down to the ground and picked up half a brick to throw it at the big yellow dog that was still barking. "It's like a grass mud horse, I'll call you again." The big yellow dog was frightened and ran away with his tail whimpering.

Although this person looks quite old, he has a strong liver fire and seems to be a little violent after drinking. Li Tianchou secretly took care of himself and followed the strong man into the yard.

"Who did you ask for?" The strong man turned his head and asked again. The effect of alcohol and the interruption of yellow dogs, the strong man obviously didn't remember what Li Tianchou said just now.

"Oh, I'm here to rent a house. By the way, let's take a look at my friend named Zhang." Li Tianchou repeated patiently.

"Yes, rent a house." The strong man was happy, "What kind of thing do you want to rent?"

"A single room is enough to sleep."

When the strong man heard this, he reached up and pointed to the second floor, "There is a single room upstairs, and the door is not locked. You can go up and see it yourself. I'm a little dizzy and can't climb."

"Okay, and my friend named Zhang..." Li Tianchou nodded and reminded him of the strong man.

"Upstairs, I just moved here." The strong man pointed up with his hand again, and began to get impatient again, shaking into the main hall. This was done without any effort, and Li Tianchou followed him in.

The strong man was already lying on the recliner on his back, holding a palm fan in his hand and was drowsy, and had no intention of paying attention to Li Tianchou.

Li Tianchou glanced at the stairs and climbed up the stairs. The upstairs looked narrow. The end of the stairs was a horizontal corridor with three houses on both sides, which was a bit like Haituzi’s previous home.

The doors of the three rooms on the left were all covered with empty spaces. One of them was a small voice, as if he had heard Li Tianchou's footsteps, and the conversation stopped abruptly. The doors of the house on the right were wide open, and the inside was empty, so no one should have lived there.

Li Tianchou no longer hesitated and walked to the first room on the left. Through the light blue screen door, he saw an elderly couple sitting inside. At this time, the couple were also looking at the door, looking a little panicked.

He knocked on the door frame politely. The thin old lady hesitated to get up, walked to the door and unbuttoned the buckle on the screen door, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is this Zhang Jiming's house?"

The old lady looked back at the old man, turned her head and asked, "Who are you?" The two old men were quite alert and were obviously wary of strangers. In fact, they were Zhang Jiming's parents. There was a big reason for being so cautious.

A few days before the accident, his son was extremely abnormal and kept persuading his family to move to the countryside for a few days. The wife was suspicious and asked the reason. Zhang Jiming was hesitant and didn't say it clearly, but emphasized that the company was very busy recently and had no time to take care of the family. In the end, he was forced to say that an employee was fired and threatened to take revenge. He was afraid that something would happen to his family, so he came up with this idea.

Although the wife still didn't believe it, the whole family still agreed to temporarily live in the old house in the countryside for a few days, and wait for Zhang Jiming to sort out the matter before moving back. The only thing they were worried about was Zhang Jiming's own safety.

But after living in the countryside for less than two days, I saw something happened to Zhang Jiming in the newspaper, and all kinds of rumors came one after another. Some said that Zhang Jiming had an accident in the project, and some said that Zhang Jiming had killed someone. These news were like a bolt from the blue, which made the Zhang family panic and at a loss.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie found the Zhang family and claimed that it was sent by Zhang Jiming's good friend. He entrusted him to bring some money, which was earned by the project, and also brought a letter, which was written by Zhang Jiming to his wife. The general idea in the letter was to entrust his friends to help his family move, mainly for safety reasons.

Zhang's wife carefully identified the handwriting. It was indeed written by her husband. But she was worried and there were still many questions, "Where is my husband? Is he okay now? Why are you moving again? What happened?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, he's very good. The incident of this kind of engineering accident is just a gust of wind, at most one or two months, and it's fine after it's over. The things I had in the past were much bigger than this, but aren't we still lively now? The reason why Lao Zhang asked you to move was mainly to consider gossiping here in my hometown, and he would be relieved to change to a more peaceful place."

Although the old man and the old lady were unwilling to do so, thinking about the fact that the son was considering that he was considerate, the neighbors in the countryside looked up and looked down. Once they asked about his son, the old couple really didn't know what to say.

In this way, the whole family followed the middle-aged man into the car in a sceptical way, and finally arrived at Dongshi Village.

The middle-aged man sent them to this family named Ma, saying that the rent had been paid, so everyone just stayed safely. When the matter was resolved, Zhang Jiming would come to pick them up back to the county town in person. After that, the man never showed up again.

The next day after I stayed, my son's friend came to look for him. The old couple thought he was still the middle-aged man, but unexpectedly found that he was a strange young man, so he was naturally a little nervous. But seeing that the young man was steady and polite, the two old men relaxed their vigilance.

"My surname is Li, and I am his friend."

"Please come in quickly." The old lady was happy when she heard this. Her friend named Li sent the middle-aged man to help. She arranged to move and contact the house. She was such a enthusiastic person. She actually came in person today. I really don't know how to thank her, so she enthusiastically let Li Tianchou into the house.

The two old men's attitudes changed a lot. Li Tianchou couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, and he couldn't help but secretly aroused suspicion in his heart.

As soon as they sat down, they heard the big yellow dog in the yard start to bark again, and then a whistle came, with a short and sharp voice. Li Tianchou's face suddenly changed. This was from Peng Weihua. They agreed that if an emergency occurs, they would warn with a short whistle.

Li Tianchou stood up and shocked the two old men. Before the two old men could ask, they had already entered and out of the door.

There were very rapid and messy footsteps outside the yard. Although the sound was slight, it could not be hidden from Li Tianchou's ears. It sounded like there were many people, but there was no noise or noise. Sweat beads of water suddenly oozed out of his forehead. Who would have such discipline?

In a blink of an eye, footsteps spread all over the courtyard wall, as if they had completed the encirclement. Li Tianchou suddenly became nervous. Based on his experience, he quickly realized that the group of people outside were probably well-trained policemen or troops. Why? Why did this happen?

"What are you doing?", "Stop!", "Did you hear it? Stop it!" A very stern shout came from outside, followed by a gunshot with a "bang!"

Li Tianchou felt a thrill. Could it be that Peng Weihua outside was exposed? This also proved his guess just now that the people coming outside must be police or regular troops. The goal was to arrest him and Peng Weihua? Besides that, he could not think of a more appropriate reason.

Li Tianchou knew very well that a gunshot just now was a warning, and the next one was a killer move. He slowly stretched his head and looked out through the windows in the corridor. This should be the location behind the courtyard wall. As expected, several special police officers dressed in uniform outside the courtyard wall were fully armed and occupied a very favorable terrain.

Bang, bang, bang, the iron door of the yard was knocked, "Open the door, open the door, the police handle the case."

The drunk strong man downstairs was woken up and was very upset. Before he could figure out the situation, he cursed, "You're the one who is going to make trouble, I'm planning your father, who is the bastard?" Maybe he was still not satisfied, so he picked up a brick and threw it at his own iron door. There was a loud bang, very imposing.

But before three seconds left, the strong man became honest and never made any sound. Because several people in special police uniforms had already turned in from outside the wall, watching the other party appear in front of him holding black guns, like an evil star descending to a state of embarrassment. The strong man decisively changed from drunkenness to fainting, and it was hard to say whether he was scared or stimulated.

He was already surrounded, which was Li Tianchou's most direct reaction. At this moment, he was concerned about Peng Weihua's safety. The gunshots did not sound again. I wonder how the master is doing?

Just as he was thinking, the two gunshots of "bang, bang!" made him even more frightened. It seemed that he was coming from a farther place, and there were shouting that he could not hear clearly. He initially judged that Peng Weihua might have no problem for the time being and was running away to the outside world.

There was no time to think about it, Li Tianchou picked up a small flower pot from the corridor, reached out to open the window and threw it out, but the man ran back to the old man and the old lady's room quickly. The window in the room was facing the yard. He wanted to break through from the opposite direction to attract the police to relieve Peng Weihua's pressure.

This may not be meaningless because he does not know how many people the police have come, but he can only express his guilt towards his master in this way. He should not forget Uncle Geng’s advice and should not just act alone. He doesn’t care, but he has implicated his master. Life and death are based on fate. (To be continued)
