Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"what!"

"My legs! My legs!"

The screams were like a thunderclap, echoing on the sparsely populated rural dirt road.

The masked man whose thigh was hit by a bullet from Gao Hongmei's shotgun felt a sharp pain and lost his balance.

After falling to the ground, he clutched his injured thigh with both hands and rolled around on the ground, but blood also seeped out from between his fingers as he covered his thigh, staining the thin layer of snow on the ground with specks of red plum blossoms.

As the masked man rolled around, the cloth covering his face fell off, revealing a pockmarked face that was deathly pale from blood loss and fear.

Gao Hongmei fired a bullet from close range, which was extremely powerful.

No matter how much the masked man screamed and clutched his bullet-pierced thigh, the bleeding still wouldn't stop.

The remaining masked men were also startled by the sudden gunshot. When they saw that Gao Hongmei was holding a double-barreled shotgun, fear immediately appeared in their eyes.

The screams of their fallen comrades served as a reminder that Gao Hongmei was holding a real weapon, and if they were hit by a bullet fired from the barrel, they would suffer the same fate as their fallen comrade.

For a moment, the masked men who had been so arrogant couldn't help but feel scared. They looked at Gao Hongmei cautiously and unconsciously took a step back.

"What are you afraid of? She only has a double-barreled shotgun, and she's only fired one bullet. I don't believe she can kill us all with just one bullet."

At this moment, Li Jianren, who was wearing a mask, saw that his companions were having second thoughts and quickly shouted loudly.

But Gao Hongmei felt the name was familiar. Without asking who it was, she pointed the gun at Li Jianren's thigh and shot him.

"Bang!"

"what!"

Another shot rang out, and Li Jianren let out a scream before being shot in the leg and falling to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other masked men were terrified and dropped their machetes and axes, fleeing faster than rabbits.

"Idiot, idiot."

Seeing his remaining companions escape, Li Jianren, enduring excruciating pain, clutched his bleeding thigh where he had been shot, and cursed loudly.

He just said that Gao Hongmei was holding a double-barreled shotgun, and after firing one bullet, there was only one bullet left in the barrel.

He had already been hit by a bullet, Gao Hongmei's hunting rifle was out of bullets, and her companions ran away in fear.

Then all that bullet I took was for nothing!

Looking at his classmates who had run away, Li Jianren felt that they were simply terrible teammates.

At this moment, Gao Hongmei skillfully and quickly loaded two bullets into the shotgun just in case.

After the bullets were loaded, she gave Su Lihua a look, then picked up her gun and walked towards the masked man she had shot, because she felt that the masked man's voice sounded familiar.

Seeing Gao Hongmei walking towards him with her gun pointed at him, Li Jianren's throat bobbed and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He endured the excruciating pain in his thigh and instinctively shifted his body back as he faced the gun barrel. This aggravated the injury in his thigh, causing him to let out another bloodcurdling scream.

"Don't move! If you dare to move again, I'll shoot you dead."

Gao Hongmei's gun was pressed against Li Jianren's forehead.

"No...don't shoot..."

With the dark muzzle of a gun pressed against his head, Li Jianren quickly raised his hands, not daring to make any rash moves.

He had just witnessed Gao Hongmei loading two more bullets into the barrel of her hunting rifle. If he dared to make any rash moves, he was afraid that this tigress would really shoot him in the head.

Seeing Li Jianren raise his hands, Su Lihua stepped forward and ripped off the cloth covering his face.

"Li Jianren?"

When the cloth covering their faces was torn off, Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua were both incredulous.

At this moment, Lee Kin-yan's face also turned ashen.

"Hongmei, Lihua, please, please let me go! I... I was blinded by greed... I..."

At this moment, Li Jianren knew very well that if he didn't beg Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua for mercy and ask them to let him go, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

Just the fact that he was masked and led a group of people to rob people on the road is enough to classify him as the ringleader of a highway robbery. He could be sentenced to several years in prison at the very least, or even be shot at the worst.

"You're a rotten, rotten seed! You covet Lihua, and since she doesn't want to talk to you, you come up with this crooked idea and do this illegal thing. Go tell the police what you have to say, bah!"

Gao Hongmei was too lazy to listen to Li Jianren's pleas for mercy; all that talk about being blinded by greed was a lie.

If she hadn't impulsively bought this hunting rifle, she and her sister might have ended up in the hands of Li Jianren and his gang today.

Li Jianren's claim of being "blinded by greed" is merely a pretext he uses to justify his failure to achieve his goals, his subsequent defeat and control by himself, and his fear of imprisonment or even execution.

Upon hearing that Gao Hongmei was going to call the police, Li Jianren was so frightened that he fainted.

"Pah, with your guts, you dare to rob people on the road? What a piece of trash."

Gao Hongmei spat again, cursing under her breath, but she was also incredibly nervous.

Looking at the unconscious Li Jianren and the masked man who had been shot in the thigh by her, Gao Hongmei was also afraid that if the two shots she had fired had resulted in a death, she would be sued for murder and might even go to jail.

When Su Lihua saw the pool of bright red blood on the ground, she turned deathly pale with fright.

"Hongmei, what should we do? He's fainted and is bleeding a lot."

Su Lihua pointed at the unconscious Li Jianren, somewhat at a loss.

"What should I do?" Gao Hongmei was also a little flustered at this moment, but she knew that she couldn't panic.

After all, she was bolder than Su Lihua, who was already panicking, and she was Su Lihua's pillar of support.

"We'll go back to the village, ask the village doctor to come and treat them, and then use the village office's phone to call the Xiangyang Commune Police Station to report the incident. As for what happens to them, we can only leave it to fate."

Gao Hongmei tried her best to remain calm and spoke to Su Lihua.

"Okay, sure."

Su Lihua, as if grasping at a lifeline, nodded vigorously in agreement with Gao Hongmei's arrangements.

"Hey, isn't this Hongmei and Su Zhiqing?"

Just then, a voice came from afar.

Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua looked closely and saw that it was Pang, the village's horseman, driving a horse-drawn carriage slowly towards them from the direction of Xiangyang Commune.

However, there was not only the coachman on the carriage, but also three other people: one man and two women.

The man was a villager, and the woman was his wife, holding a little girl who looked about four or five years old.

The voice that was speaking belonged to the man sitting in the carriage.

"Of course, it's freezing cold, what are they doing here?"

The woman holding the little girl also recognized Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua, and at the same time, she was also puzzled.

"What's that girl Hongmei holding? It looks like a gun."

Although the driver, Pang, was getting old and his eyesight was failing, he still recognized Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua.

At the same time, he also noticed that Gao Hongmei was holding a gun.

"Yes, Uncle Pang, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. Hongmei was holding a gun."

The man nodded quickly.

"Uncle Pang, boss, look, there are two people lying on the ground, and they look like they're bleeding."

The woman holding the child pointed and said.

"That's true."

Upon seeing this, the coachman quickly sped up the carriage.

"Uncle Pang, Brother Wanglin..."

Seeing the carriage coming towards them, Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua quickly called out.

Before long, the coachman Pang drove the carriage to a stop less than five meters away from Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua.

Seeing the two people lying on the ground, both with blood flowing from their thighs, one clutching his leg and groaning, and the other completely silent, neither Pang Ma Fu nor Gao Wang Lin could help but frown.

The woman holding the child turned deathly pale upon seeing the blood on the ground.

"Hey girl, what's going on?"

Gao Wanglin asked quickly.

"Uncle Pang, Brother Wanglin, we..."

Seeing Pang Ma Fu and Gao Wang Lin, Gao Hongmei calmed down a bit and then recounted the whole story.

They recounted everything in detail, from their encounter with Li Jianren, a fellow villager, at the village entrance that morning, to their return from Xiangyang Commune, where they were robbed by a group of masked thugs who even attempted to sexually assault them, to how Gao Hongmei shot and wounded two of the thugs.

Both Pang Mafu and Gao Wanglin were shocked after hearing Gao Hongmei's words.

They never expected that, in broad daylight, highway robbers would block their way and even try to sexually assault them.

Moreover, it was Li Jianren, a fellow villager, who attempted to rob Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua.

After a brief moment of shock, Gao Wanglin quickly checked Li Jianren's breathing: "He's still breathing, he must have just passed out."

"Brother Wanglin, what do we do now?"

Gao Hongmei quickly inquired.

"Do as you just said. Uncle Pang, quickly drive the cart back to the village office to call the police, and then have the village officials bring the village doctor over to see if they can stop the bleeding and save the lives of these two bastards."

"Although what they did was inhumane, the country has its laws, and it's not up to us ordinary citizens to judge them and decide their fate. Let's hand them over to the police station for processing."

Gao Wanglin thought for a moment before speaking.

"Then let's do as Wanglin says. This old man has to hurry back to the village. You all wait here, I'll be back soon."

As Pang Ma Fu spoke, he jumped onto the carriage, flicked his whip, and lashed the horse's rump.

The horse pulling the cart felt a pain in its rump, so it spurred itself on and pulled the cart toward Guapigou Village.
