My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Lei Dong grabbed Li Erniu by the collar and forcefully lifted him up from the ground.

Li Erniu was bound with ropes in seven or eight places, and dark red blood was still seeping from the hole in his left shoulder where a three-edged thorn had pierced him. Half of his clothes were soaked through.

His head drooped, and his breathing became heavier with each breath.

"Stop playing dead, open your eyes!"

Lei Dong slapped Li Erniu hard across the face, making Li Erniu's head snap to the side and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva mixed with broken teeth.

Li Erniu struggled to open his eyelids, which were swollen like walnuts, and glanced at the face in front of him, which was trembling with fleshy muscles. He made a wheezing sound in his throat.

"Look carefully at who I am!"

Lei Dong pressed the muzzle of the gun against Li Erniu's forehead, the flesh on his cheeks twitching repeatedly.

"I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. What's the name of the leader in your village? What kind of weapon does he use? Where does he lurk and shoot at people?!"

Li Erniu glanced at him sideways, his mouth twitching upwards to reveal a mouthful of bloody teeth.

"You...you want to know?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Speak!"

"I'm not going to tell you, you son of a bitch."

Li Erniu was panting heavily, his voice was weak but his tone was very aggressive.

"You scum, you think you can get back alive after coming into our Old Crow Gully? My brother Qingshan is watching you from the woods, he'll twist your head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

"Fuck your mother's stubbornness!"

Lei Dong grabbed Li Erniu's right index finger, which was behind his back, and twisted it backwards forcefully!

A crisp crack!

The finger bone was bent at a 90-degree angle on the spot.

Li Erniu suddenly shuddered, the veins on his neck bulging out, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, washing away the blood and dirt on his face.

He clenched his back teeth, grinding them together so loudly, but he didn't utter a sound.

"Will you tell me or not?!"

Lei Dong's eyes widened, and he increased the pressure on his hand by three points.

"Next up is your thumb, then your wrist! I have plenty of ways to smash every bone in your body, inch by inch!"

Li Erniu took a breath, raised his eyelids, and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

"Hold on tighter, have you not eaten? You're kneading dough like a woman, trying to tickle Grandpa!"

Li Erniu was panting heavily, grinning and cursing.

"Your grandpa Erniu has been running around in the mountains since he was a kid. He's been bitten by wild boars, fallen through ice holes, and even the wolf packs in the old forest couldn't scare him! With your pathetic skills, you think you're qualified to interrogate me?"

"My brother Qingshan won't let you get away with this!"

"I'll kill you!"

Lei Dong lost all face, grabbed Li Erniu by the throat, and slammed him against the old pine tree trunk behind him.

Li Erniu's throat was choked so badly that his eyes rolled back, but with his last bit of strength, he forcefully pushed his head forward!

A mouthful of phlegm mixed with pus and blood was spat solidly onto Lei Dong's nasal bridge.

Lei Dong was stunned.

Li Erniu threw his head back and burst into wild laughter in his hoarse voice, laughing so hard that his wounds trembled all over.

"Hahaha! You coward! You're getting angry already?!"

"Let me tell you, once you're in Laoyagou, not even a god can save you!"

"Brother Qingshan!!"

Li Erniu suddenly mustered all his strength and roared at the top of his lungs into the dense forest in all directions.

"Leave me alone!!"

"That bastard's right under the tree! Shoot here! Smash that son of a bitch's head! Avenge our fallen brothers!!"

"Shut up! I told you to shut up!!"

Enraged, Lei Dong raised his knee and slammed it hard into Li Erniu's stomach.

Li Erniu groaned, curled up like a shrimp, and bile mixed with blood and foam gushed from his nostrils and mouth. He could no longer utter a complete sentence and could only lie under the tree, panting.

Lei Dong wiped the bloody phlegm from his face, his chest heaving violently.

He looked at the half-dead Li Erniu, his mind racing.

One by one, his brothers were dying under his command. Even a veteran like Ah Jiu had his leg crippled by a hidden trap. If this continued, he would eventually perish in this forest.

The hunter lurking in the shadows was no ordinary mountain hunter; he was a ruthless killer.

There's no point in arguing with this kind of person about rules; the only way to survive is by holding this hostage.

Lei Dong drew a military knife and quickly cut the hemp rope tied to the tree.

Then, he pulled a thin steel wire from his waist, lifted Li Erniu up, pulled him to his chest, and used the wire to tightly bind Li Erniu's arm to his own left arm.

Li Erniu's limp body completely covered his chest and lower abdomen.

Lei Dong, holding a submachine gun, shoved the muzzle directly into the back of Li Erniu's neck, using him as a human shield to slowly retreat to a relatively open clearing in the middle of the forest.

"That guy named Aoyama! I know you've been keeping an eye on things around here!"

Lei Dong shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the empty valley.

"Weren't you the leader of the village? Weren't you a loyal friend? Look at your brother, I broke his fingers, and he's covered in holes!"

Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no response from any direction.

Lei Dong felt a chill run down his spine. He put his finger on the trigger and tightened the steel wire around Li Erniu's chest, causing Li Erniu to wince in pain.

"Don't try to play tricks on me!"

Lei Dong continued shouting.

"I'll count to three! If you don't throw this gun out and roll it into the open ground, I'll shoot him in the back of the head right now!"

"one!"

The mountain wind whistled through the piles of weeds.

"two!"

Lei Dong slowly turned his body, his eyes fixed on every bush around him that might be hiding someone.

"You fucking coward! You'd even risk your own brother's life?!"

……

Behind a pile of rubble, about fifty meters away.

Lu Qingshan lay prone in the crevice between two bluestones, covered with a handful of withered pine needles, his whole being blending into the rocks and soil.

His right hand rested on the hunting rifle beside him, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, his nails digging deep into his palm, leaving several bloody marks, but he didn't even flinch.

Looking at Li Erniu's broken fingers and listening to his defiant curses, Lu Qingshan felt a burning fire in his chest, but his eyes grew colder and colder, as deep as an icy pool.

Don't rush.

The man opposite him was a desperate criminal. Li Erniu was bound to his chest with steel wire, and any direct shot would kill Erniu first.

To break the deadlock, you must disrupt the opponent's balance with a single blow.

Lu Qingshan slowly withdrew his gaze and gently placed his hand on the backs of the two hunting dogs lying beside him.

Big Yellow lay in the stone pit on the left, while Green Tail huddled in the ditch on the right. The two dogs lowered their ears, their bellies pressed against the cold ground, not a single breath escaped their throats, only their muscles were taut.

Lu Qingshan leaned forward half an inch, pressing his lips against Da Huang's earlobe.

"Big Yellow, listen up."

His voice was so low that only the dog beside him could hear it.

"Go to the left and follow the grass. Don't shout, and don't bite the gun."

Big Yellow's ears twitched slightly.

"Charge forward, use your body to ram his right knee, and push him toward the cliff."

Lu Qingshan patted Da Huang's forehead, then turned his face to Qingwei on the right.

"Blue Tail, go to the right and into the shade."

A very faint exhalation sound came from Qingwei's throat.

"The moment Big Yellow knocks him down, the gun will definitely slip from his hand. You go up to him, bite his neck, lock him in place, understand?"

As if they understood their master's command, the two hunting dogs instantly flashed with a fierce light in their eyes.

Lu Qingshan gently raised his hand.

"go."

The moment the words left his mouth, Big Yellow and Green Tail silently slid away along the grass on the ground.

One went left, silently slithering along the ground under the cover of waist-high grass; the other went right, following the shadows beneath the rocks, like two slithering grass snakes, instantly disappearing into the depths of the hazy mist.

On the open ground, Lei Dong had already counted to the last sound.

"three!!"

The veins on Lei Dong's forehead bulged, and his finger slammed down on the trigger.

"Lu Qingshan! You forced this upon me! I'll send your brothers on their way first!!"
