Chapter 2181: Seeing Injustice 2

Shang Zhen finally had a hot meal, even though it was just ordinary cornmeal pancakes with sweet potatoes.

But these foods plus the pickles were enough to turn Shang Zhen from a starving ghost to a bloated ghost.

Shang Zhen was eating there, with a crowd of people behind him, but no one laughed at him.

Just because Shang Zhen had a gun, he carried a 20-shot box gun in a wooden box slung across his body, and next to him were four rifles that were captured from the puppet army.

There was a song in later generations, the lyrics of which roughly meant something like "I stand in the center of thousands of people, I shine brightly." Now Shang Zhen is it.

The reason was that the place where he ate was very conspicuous. He ate on the wall at the entrance of the town.

The wall is about five meters high and has battlements on both sides, which makes it a good place to look down from a high vantage point.

He had to eat here for a simple reason: he was the only one in his group and he had to watch the road leading into the town, as the puppet troops were coming from this direction.

Shang Zhen knew before he fired the shot that he would get into trouble as soon as he fired.

If he were the person he used to be, he would never have confiscated the guns of these puppet soldiers in the town. If he wanted to stand up for justice, he would have snatched San Ni'er back from the family on the way the puppet soldiers were returning.

But this time it won’t work, because this time he is hungry! Yes, he is hungry!

He was so hungry that he was seeing stars. He had struggled to get to this town step by step. How could he have the energy to run ahead of those puppet soldiers and snatch the people back?

He was penniless and couldn't bring himself to beg for food, so he might as well do what he was best at!

What is he best at?

To say killing, even killing enemies, is too bloody. He is not a person who likes killing.

So, what he is best at is shooting!

So in order to fill his stomach, Shang Zhen chose the method he was best at, shooting and disarming the puppet army.

After all, I saved a young girl, so who cares if there is a flood afterwards? At least this family will give me a good meal to thank me, right?

Shang Zhen’s goal was achieved and he was finally full.

As for why he has to eat on the wall now, that is the price he pays for standing out and is part of the devastating flood that will follow.

He did save the girl from that family, but how could that family let him go?

Shang Zhen released the dozen or so puppet soldiers who came to rob people. Now those puppet soldiers will come back with guns and bullets for revenge.

So the result after Shang Zhen acted like a hero was that the man in that family knelt down with a plop and said, "Good man, save people to the end, you can't leave!"

Shang Zhendang, who had anticipated this, wondered whether he would leave. Fighting for justice was not his goal, but to help this family get food!

Shang Zhen only said to the man who begged him to do a good deed to the end: "Cook food and let me eat, and I will take care of the rest for you!"

And this is also the reason why Shang Zhen came to the city wall.

He had to guard it and get rid of these puppet soldiers who came back to "fight" with him!

How could he get rid of those puppet soldiers who came back to look for him? Of course, he would guard the highest point of the town and use his best marksmanship. One man could block the way for ten thousand men!

The current situation is quite funny indeed.

The funny thing is, if this happened in ancient times, and Shang Zhen happened to be a master of martial arts, then he could just stand on a high place, holding a magic bow and a sharp weapon, waiting for the other party to arrive, and then kill one person at a hundred steps and leave without leaving his name!

But it’s not like that now. It’s the modern age of hot weapons. Can he really handle what’s next by himself?

But now Shang Zhen obviously no longer considers such things. At least he is full. With his current physique, he cannot fight with a bayonet after eating, but he has no problem shooting with a gun.

"Who's in charge of this town?" Shang Zhen, who was well fed and well-drinking, picked up a rifle, looked back at the dark crowd below and shouted.

When he asked this, the buzzing noise behind him stopped immediately, but no one stepped forward.

Shang Zhen seemed not to notice this. He examined the rifle in his hand with disapproval.

It was too worn out, and the slide was old. He could guess without even looking that the rifling in the barrel must have been worn away!

Shang Zhen looked at the three rifles again, and they were not good guns. Forget it, he might as well use a bullet himself. He picked up his box gun, put the fuse on it and started to blink around, then he put the box gun against his shoulder. With a "bang" sound, a brick placed at the chimney of a family a hundred meters away was hit by the bullet and fell down.

There was a loud roar from the crowd, and half of them were scared away in an instant.

"Who is in charge? I came here just to ask a few questions." Shang Zhen said again.

This shot worked. After a while, an old man in a long gown raised his hand and ran up the slope.

Shang Zhen just wanted to know the general situation in the town, which armed forces had influence here, whether there was a village protection team, etc.

After talking for a while, Shang Zhen saw people coming from a distance. There were three horse-drawn carriages, and of course, the people sitting on the carriages were all puppet soldiers. They were here to start a fight with him.

"Man, go down now. There's nothing for you to do now." Shang Zhen leaned against the parapet of the wall and watched the puppet soldiers coming closer and closer.

The old man looked at Shang Zhen, then at the puppet soldiers rushing towards the town, then turned around and ran towards the wall.

Shang Zhen was not in a hurry to shoot. He just watched until the four carriages were within a hundred meters of him. Then he stood up, put the box gun on his shoulder and got into shooting position.

There was a "bang" sound of a gunshot, this was of course the first shot fired by Shang Zhen.

And with this shot, the last carriage collapsed immediately!

The reason was that these four carriages were all small carts pulled by one horse. Shang Zhen shot down the horse pulling the carriage with one shot, but the carriage did not fall over.

The puppet soldiers on the carriage were caught off guard and fell directly from the carriage, which was low in front and high in the back.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the puppet soldiers on the carriage in front naturally shouted "Whoa" and reined in the horses, but before the carriage had stopped, the second gunshot rang out, and the horse pulling the first carriage was also knocked down!

In the chaos, the puppet soldiers saw that both the front and rear horses were shot in the head. Of course, the horses fell headfirst. Otherwise, how could such a big horse die so easily if it was not shot in a vital part?

The puppet soldiers on the carriage were all stunned and got off and raised their guns.

There was only one road but no place to hide, so the puppet soldiers could only hide behind the carriage.

But at this moment, another gunshot was heard from the town wall, and one of the two horses pulling the carriage in the middle was knocked down again.

Three of the four horses pulling the cart fell down, all of them shot in the head. As for the fourth horse not being knocked down, it was because only three shots were fired. If one more shot had been fired, the fourth horse would have certainly fallen down as well.

These puppet soldiers really didn't expect that they, who had come with such great momentum, would be really confused this time!

Only then did they realize that they had encountered an expert with a gun. Previously in the town, the man could kill a horse by shooting it in the head, but this time, he was able to shoot the bullet into the horse's head even from a distance of a hundred meters!

"Boss, are we still fighting?" a puppet soldier asked their leader.

The leader's neck was indeed a little crooked, otherwise how could he have the nickname Zhou Waibozi?

"What the hell are you fighting for? Retreat quickly!" Zhou Waibozi is not stupid.

These puppet soldiers always bully the weak and fear the strong. When they saw that they encountered a sharpshooter, they didn't have the courage to shoot back at Shang Zhen!

Why? With his shooting skills, if they risked their lives, they might be able to kill him.

But the problem is, puppet soldiers are puppet soldiers. There are more than forty puppet soldiers in total. Who are willing to be the ten or eight who were beaten to death?

Meng Waibozi does like the virgin girl in that family, but that doesn't mean he has to marry her. If there isn't a virgin girl, he can just find a widow, right?

The puppet soldiers showed their cowardice and stopped charging forward and wanted to run back. But could they really run away just by wanting to?

A puppet soldier had just stood up from behind the carriage and turned to run when he heard another burst of gunfire from the wall. At the same time, he saw three earth-colored "little flowers" appearing a few meters in front of him!

The little flower is still in the shape of a “品” character with one up and two down!

But what is that flower? It is the dust splashed by the bullets hitting the ground!

"If you dare to run out, I will beat you to death!" At this time, Shang Zhen's voice came from the wall in the distance.
