Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 316: Infighting, Liu Qingsong attacks with a broken knife!

"Oh! You... Why are you here at Sansheng River today?" The hunchbacked old man named Xiao Gangzi was so excited after seeing Li Juren's appearance clearly: "I haven't seen you for three years, right?"

"Yeah." Li Juren nodded.

Almost four years to be exact.

At that time, Xiao Gangzi's back was not so hunched, and his hair was only slightly gray. But now, not only is his back so much hunched, but his hair is also gray. This really makes him sigh, and he can't help but sigh that wasted time makes people grow old.

"Just now I was blind and didn't recognize your friend. Please bring your friend on board quickly. I don't want a penny." The hunchbacked old man said as he stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture.

"That's more like it." Li Juren smiled, but still took out ten yuan and stuffed it into the hunchbacked old man's hand, then took Jiang Lao, Liu Qingsong and Li Fenfen on the boat.

After the group waited on the boat for a few minutes, the hunchbacked old man drove the boat towards the other side.

Soon, we reached the shore.

Liu Qingsong was about to support Li Juren.

The hunchbacked old man spoke to Li Juren earnestly: "After you get ashore, you and your friends must be more careful. Wu Lame passed away last year, and now his sons are taking over his business."

"Okay! Okay!" Li Juren nodded repeatedly, patted the hunchbacked old man on the shoulder, and led the way ashore with a cane.

"Grandpa...you seem to be quite familiar with this area!" Li Fenfen couldn't help but ask at this time.

"How could I not be familiar with it? Back then, I fought with Xiao Zizi here for three days and three nights. Many of my former brothers and relatives died in the San Sheng River." Li Juren replied with a long sigh.

"Really?" Li Fenfen was about to ask more about the details of the battle with Xiao Rizi when Liu Qingsong reached out and pulled her, then pointed to the mountain path ahead.

There were roadblocks set up on the mountain road, and there were several young men walking back and forth on both sides with guns on their backs.

"What's going on?" Li Fenfen asked Li Juren in a low voice.

"Oh! This is the business that Xiao Gangzi told me about. However, Wu Quezi is no longer here. You guys should follow my instructions later." Li Juren sighed.

"I understand." Liu Qingsong nodded and followed Li Juren and Old Jiang towards the mountain path ahead.

Seeing this, several young men with guns on both sides of the roadblock on the mountain road looked at each other and then came forward.

One of the skinny young men looked Liu Qingsong and his group up and down and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the medicine market." Li Juren replied.

"Ten dollars each." The skinny young man stretched out his right hand.

"You... are Wu Xiaobing, the eldest son of Wu Guizi?" Li Juren did not give any money but asked with a smile.

"So what? Why are you asking so many questions, old man?" The skinny young man frowned and raised the shotgun on his shoulder.

Seeing this, the other young men around him also raised their shotguns.

From this moment on, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Seeing this, several members of the Ye family around Elder Jiang were about to teach these ignorant young people a lesson, but Li Juren suddenly spoke up: "Wu Xiaobing, you may not recognize me, but your father, Wu Quezi, was my brother who went through life and death with me, together..."

"Fuck you!" Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaobing suddenly stood up and rushed towards Li Juren with his gun.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong reached out and grabbed the shotgun: "Can you still speak properly?"

"No!" Wu Xiaobing glared at Liu Qingsong: "Let go of my hand, or I will not let you leave here alive today."

"Then you try it." Liu Qingsong exerted force with his right hand and directly snatched the shotgun.

Seeing this, the other young men pointed their shotguns at Liu Qingsong and said, "Put your guns down!"

"Hurry! Or I'll shoot!"

"How dare you take our boss's gun? You are courting death!"

"Qingsong, they are all my brother's relatives, please give me some face." Li Juren sighed when he saw this.

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong threw the shotgun to Wu Xiaobing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaobing took the shotgun and smashed it back at him. Several other young men also raised their legs and kicked Liu Qingsong, and each of them kicked very hard.

"Qingsong, be careful!" Li Fenfen screamed in fright when she saw this scene.

Li Juren, Old Jiang and several other members of the Ye family were also dumbfounded. They never expected that Wu Xiaobing would start beating people up over a disagreement.

But before Wu Xiaobing's shotgun could hit Liu Qingsong, he flew backwards and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

As for the other young men, although they kicked Liu Qingsong down, it was not Liu Qingsong who was in pain, but them.

The right leg of one of them was broken directly, with a crackling sound of broken bones and wailing sounds.

"How...how could this happen?" Li Juren was stunned by the scene.

Jiang Lao and Li Fenfen were also a little surprised. Seeing Wu Xiaobing crawling on the ground and trying to escape, Jiang Lao hurried over to stop him: "Where do you want to go, kid?"

"They should be going to get help." Li Juren sighed, "The villagers in this area don't farm or go hunting, they all rely on this mountain road for their livelihood."

"That means it's highway robbery?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

"Yes," Li Juren nodded in acknowledgment, "Let Wu Xiaobing go! This kid doesn't remember our friendship and doesn't recognize me, but there are still many people here who know me. They definitely don't dare to do anything to me."

"Okay!" Old Jiang made way for Wu Xiaobing.

Wu Xiaobing glanced at Li Juren, and with the help of several other young men, he stumbled up the mountain.

Li Juren was waiting on the mountain road with Liu Qingsong, Li Fenfen, Jiang Lao and others.

A moment later, Wu Xiaobing and nearly a hundred villagers were seen appearing in the pine forest in the mountains.

They came in a menacing manner, many of them holding shotguns in their hands.

But the white-haired old man at the head was horrified when he saw Li Juren's appearance clearly: "Brother Li... is it... is it you?"

"Who else could it be if not me?" Li Juren said with a wry smile.

"You beast, you even dared to attack my brother Li. Do you still want to live?" The white-haired old man kicked Wu Xiaobing and quickly ran out of the pine forest.

As for the nearly one hundred other villagers, when they saw the white-haired old man talking and laughing with Li Juren, they quickly dispersed and went home, leaving Wu Xiaobing standing there alone, not knowing whether to leave or not.

After all, his previous idea was to ask Old Man Wang to help support him.

But who would have thought that Old Man Wang would actually call Li Juren "Big Brother"? If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to come back even if he was beaten to death.

Li Juren guessed what Wu Xiaobing was thinking, but for the sake of Wu Guizi, he did not make things difficult for Wu Xiaobing. Instead, he asked Old Man Wang, the white-haired old man, to lead the way to the medicine market.

After half an hour.

The group arrived at the foot of a big mountain.

This mountain is towering into the clouds, like a giant beast crawling between heaven and earth. Liu Qingsong and others standing at the foot of the mountain feel as small and depressed as an ant.

But Old Man Wang didn't take it seriously. After saying something to a cowherd boy at the foot of the mountain, he led the way to a cave at the foot of the mountain.

Li Juren followed behind and said, "Mr. Jiang, this cave is the medicine market. It is a gathering place for villagers from the surrounding mountains to trade mountain products and herbs. If you are lucky, you can find herbs and mountain products that you can't see outside."

"That's the best!" Old Jiang stroked his beard and nodded.

"Are there any wild Ganoderma lucidum?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Yes, but it can't be compared with the ones in Tiger Mountain." Li Juren replied.

"Where are the tiger bones?" Liu Qingsong asked again.

"Yes, there are a lot of them." Li Juren saw Old Man Wang going into the cave and quickly quickened his pace. "But the price is very expensive, much more expensive than on the market."

"Why? Shouldn't the tiger bones here be cheaper?" Liu Qingsong was a little puzzled.

"Because there are no fakes here!" Li Juren said with a smile.

"Oh!" Liu Qingsong suddenly realized.

Mr. Jiang also felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Juren's answer.

After the group of people entered the cave entrance, talking and laughing, Jiang Lao suddenly stopped, and Liu Qingsong also looked ahead with wide eyes. There was no cave ahead, but a long canyon in front of them.

There are knife-like cliffs on both sides of the canyon. At the top of the cliff, the sunlight is refracted through the narrow gap, illuminating everything in the canyon.

Liu Qingsong was in the canyon, and it felt a little unreal.

But Li Fenfen, who had been here once, did not have such an idea. She pulled Liu Qingsong and walked towards the stall selling mountain products and medicinal herbs in front.

These stalls are run by villagers who live nearby. Of course, there are also vendors from other places who make a living by buying mountain products and herbs at low prices here and then selling them outside.

However, there are not many such vendors from other places, only a few here and there.

When Li Juren saw Li Fenfen and Liu Qingsong were about to run away, he shouted, "Follow me. Although there are people collecting stall fees here, it is very unsafe."

"Oh!" Li Fenfen had no choice but to pull Liu Qingsong back to Li Juren.

After whispering a few words to Old Man Wang, Li Juren took Old Man Jiang, Liu Qingsong and Li Fenfen up a stone staircase and walked into a temporary bamboo shed.

This Nanzhu greenhouse is filled with various Chinese herbal medicines and mountain products.

Two middle-aged men were bargaining with a beautiful woman, and finally left with satisfaction, carrying a bag of unknown mountain products.

Seeing this, Old Man Wang stepped forward and said to the beautiful woman, "Fifth Lady, my brother Li is here to buy mountain products and herbs. You must give him a preferential price later."

"Yes, yes." The beautiful woman agreed, "But I don't know what kind of mountain products and herbs your elder brother needs?"

"I've written it all down here." Old Jiang took out a list from his pocket and handed it to the beautiful woman, Wu Niang.

Wu Niang took it and looked at it carefully.

As he looked at it, his brows furrowed. "I don't have the three herbs you need. You have to go to Zhao Daniu to get them, but Zhao Daniu..."

Having said this, Wu Niang hesitated and didn't say anything further.

"What happened to Zhao Daniu?" Old Man Wang asked.

Mr. Jiang, Liu Qingsong and Li Fenfen were also somewhat confused.

"He recently asked a matchmaker to propose to me. He wanted to marry my daughter Ruyi, but I didn't agree and now our relationship is strained." Wu Niang said with a sigh.

"Then I'll go find Zhao Daniu to get the goods." Old Man Wang suggested after a moment of hesitation.

"You won't be able to get the goods because these herbs are very rare and expensive. Zhao Daniu will not sell them to anyone other than an ordinary person." Wu Niang handed the list to Jiang Lao, "Unless you can ask Chen Yuping, the person in charge of the medicine market, for help."

"Didn't Chen Yuping say that he was about to die?" Old man Wang frowned.

"Well, his son and daughter are preparing for his death." Wu Niang replied: "The person you brought is a doctor, you can try to check Chen Yuping. If you can cure Chen Yuping's illness, then it will be a piece of cake for him to buy medicine in the medicine market."

"But..." Old Man Wang hesitated to speak.

This Chen Yuping is not a good person. Many people in the medicine market hope that Chen Yuping will die soon! If he lets Jiang Lao come forward to save Chen Yuping, I'm afraid he will never come to the medicine market again.

Just when I didn't know how to tell Jiang Lao and Li Juren, a cute girl appeared at the door of Nanzhu greenhouse with a golden dog: "Mom, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes!" Wu Niang handed a lunch box to the girl.

The girl wore silver jewelry on her head, had phoenix eyes, an oval face, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of cute dimples when she smiled. She was none other than Wu Niang's daughter, Jin Ruyi.

Jin Ruyi took the lunch box and sat on the bench and started eating the food in big mouthfuls: "Mom, that Zhao Daniu came to me again just now and said that if I don't marry him, I will be a widow for the rest of my life."

"Did Zhao Daniu really say that?" Wu Niang frowned.

"Yeah." Jin Ruyi nodded. Seeing that there were guests in the Nanzhu greenhouse, she didn't say anything more.

Li Juren saw through it and said, "Wu Niang, I will take my friends to find Chen Yuping first. As for the other herbs and mountain products, please help me prepare them. I will come back to get them from you."

"Okay, okay." Wu Niang nodded repeatedly.

"Are you going to look for Chen Yuping?" Jin Ruyi looked at Jiang Lao, Liu Qingsong, Li Juren, Li Fenfen and others: "I advise you not to go, because I just came back from watching the fun there."

"Chen Yuping is dead, and now his sons are fighting over the family property!"

"No way?" Old man Wang was shocked when he heard that.

Li Juren's expression also changed.

Chen Yuping is the person in charge of this medicine market on paper, but in fact he is the overlord here. His death is not just a matter of his sons fighting over the family property. I am afraid there will be an invisible bloody storm.

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Li Juren said to Jiang Lao: "Since Chen Yuping is dead, let's not look for him. Let's not buy the other herbs that are missing. Let's buy the other herbs first."

"Okay!" Mr. Jiang nodded.

"Then I'll go prepare the goods for you." Wu Niang said as she found a large sack.

Then, before they could go and look for the herbs that Old Jiang needed, the door of the Nanzhu greenhouse was kicked in by someone, and then a burly young man walked in with a dozen hunters.

This sturdy young man is Zhao Daniu.

He sneered and glanced at Wu Niang, then said, "I'll ask you one last time, what do you want in exchange for Ruyi marrying me?"

"You already have three wives, can't you let my Ruyi go?" Wu Niang glared at Zhao Daniu angrily: "Let me tell you, others may be afraid of you, but I am not."

"Really?" Zhao Daniu laughed. "If you told me this before, I would have believed it. But now that Chen Yuping is dead, do you think I will believe it?"

"I'll tell you the truth. Today, Jin Ruyi has to marry me even if she doesn't want to, because I, Zhao Daniu, have the final say in the entire medicine market now."

"You're talking nonsense. Do you think Chen Yuping's sons are just there to eat and do nothing?" Wu Niang said angrily.

"They are indeed not idlers, but it's a pity that they are now dead or injured because of fighting for the family property left by Chen Yuping." Zhao Daniu said and suddenly reached out to grab Jin Ruyi who was hiding in the corner: "I don't know what you are afraid of. Marrying me will allow you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. It's much better than following your mother."

"Zhao Daniu, let Ruyi go." Seeing this, Wu Niang hurriedly picked up the hunting rifle hidden under the mountain products and aimed it at Zhao Daniu.

Zhao Daniu was not afraid at all. He waved his hand and more than a dozen hunters around him pointed their rifles at Wu Niang. One of the hunters even pointed his rifle at Li Juren who was about to pick up a hatchet.

It was so quiet at the moment that you could hear a pin drop.

It is obvious that Zhao Daniu wants to force Jin Ruyi to marry him.

This frightened Jin Ruyi so much that she started crying on the spot. Wu Niang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Just when she was about to fight with Zhao Daniu, the golden-colored dog nestled at Jin Ruyi's feet suddenly moved, leaped up and pounced on Zhao Daniu.

"Ouch!" Zhao Daniu, whose nose was bitten, screamed. After covering his nose with his hands, he shouted angrily to the dozen hunters around him: "What the hell are you all looking at? Kill this damn dog!"

However, after Zhao Daniu finished speaking, the golden-colored dog ran out of the Nanzhu greenhouse and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Jin Ru was so surprised at how clever Xiao Huang was that he turned his face away.

The reason for doing this was obviously that he couldn't help laughing.

But this little action did not escape Zhao Daniu's eyes.

Zhao Daniu said angrily: "Jin Ruyi, you are still laughing. If I get disfigured, you and that damned dog will have to die together!"

"Really?" Liu Qingsong, who had been a spectator, took off the broken knife on his shoulder and said, "Zhao Daniu, I'll give you five seconds to get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude."

Originally he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he thought that he might not be able to escape unscathed, he decided to stand up.

Of course, what’s more important is that I don’t want the righteous dog to die.

Upon seeing this, the four members of the Ye family beside Old Jiang also took out their service guns.

But Zhao Daniu was not afraid at all. Instead, he became fierce: "How dare you talk to me like that? Don't you know whose territory this is?"

"Of course I know." Liu Qingsong waved the broken knife in his hand while speaking. In just a moment, the hunting rifles in the hands of more than a dozen hunters around Zhao Daniu were cut into two sections and all fell to the ground with a clatter.

After Zhao Daniu reacted.

The whole person was confused.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Brother...Brother...I don't know a great man, can we talk it out nicely?"
