Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After getting some things from the black market, Cao Liang and Chi Hu exchanged a few words and then said goodbye and went home.

He plans to stay at Gangzi's house tonight and take him to report tomorrow.

This time, Chi Hu brought a total of seven piglets. Cao Liang was quite satisfied and told Chi Hu to keep doing it.

"Liangzi."

Not long after leaving the black market, Gangzi suddenly called out to Cao Liang and then gave him a wink.

Cao Liang glanced behind him and nodded lightly.

Someone was following them, and Gangzi had already noticed it without him having to say anything.

The two remained calm and continued walking forward.

When they arrived at a remote alley, the man suddenly came around in front of them.

"stop!"

The man was not tall and was very thin, with his face wrapped tightly.

In his right hand, he held a sharp object wrapped in black cloth, like a knife or something.

After stopping Cao Liang and Gang Zi, the man shouted in a low voice: "Hand over the money, or I will kill you!"

Upon hearing this, before Cao Liang could say anything, Gangzi's face darkened, and he reached behind his back and pulled out an iron rod.

Cao Liang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that his brother actually brought a weapon with him.

But it’s normal to think about it. After all, you may still encounter danger when going out at night, especially in places like the black market, so it’s better to be prepared.

Gangzi is very angry now. It would be bad enough if he just encountered a robber, but the robber even threatened to kill him and his brother. How could he tolerate this?

At that moment, Gangzi strode straight towards the man with an iron rod in his hand.

The man's pupils shrank, and he instinctively took several steps back, holding up the sharp object in his hand and threateningly said, "Don't come over here. If you come over again, the knife in my hand has no eyes."

But how can you win the game with just these few words?

Gangzi quickly walked to two meters away from the man. The man's body began to tremble. Suddenly, he jumped up and stabbed the sharp object in his hand towards Gangzi's stomach.

But Gangzi's many years of fighting experience are not to be underestimated. He slapped the opponent's hand with his left hand, and the thing in that person's hand flew out.

Gangzi did not stop, decisively raised the iron rod in his hand and was about to smash it on the opponent's head.

Seeing this, the man closed his eyes in fear.

But after waiting for a while, there was no pain.

He couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw the other person he was robbing, and he grabbed the iron rod that the other person had smashed down.

It was Cao Liang who stopped Gangzi.

Gangzi looked at Cao Liang with confusion.

Cao Liang pointed to something that had fallen on the ground. Gangzi was also stunned when he saw it. It turned out to be just a branch.

Gangzi pulled the cloth off the man's face and asked, "A child?"

The person who robbed them was actually a child. Judging from his age, he should be about thirteen or fourteen years old, a little older than Xiao Ming.

Snapped!

Gangzi hit the kid on the back of his head and scolded him, "You are so young, but you are still learning how to rob others? If Liangzi hadn't stopped me, you would have had to lie down for at least half a month."

He had controlled the strength just now. Although the blow would not kill anyone, it would definitely cause serious injuries and unconsciousness.

"Humph! I am not as skilled as you, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

The child was also tough and glared at Gangzi fiercely.

Cao Liang and Gangzi looked at each other and immediately laughed.

Cao Liang asked, "Boy, do you really want to die?"

The boy just kept silent and was very stubborn.

"Hey, this kid is pretty tough."

Gangzi asked Cao Liang: "Liangzi, what do you say? Should we just break one of his legs or kill him?"

When the child heard this, his pupils shrank.

He didn't know why this big, burly guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes could say such cruel words.

Yes, he was afraid.

If he hadn't encountered a difficult situation and had no other way out, he wouldn't have thought of robbing.

I didn't expect that the first time I took action, I would encounter a tough guy.

It’s over.

But he considered himself a man and believed that everyone should take responsibility for their own actions, so he should just grit his teeth and keep silent.

This kid is good. He is obviously scared, but he just doesn’t say anything.

Cao Liang immediately became interested in teasing him. He said, "This is too troublesome. Let's send him to the police and ask his family to compensate us for our losses."

"no!"

As soon as Cao Liang finished speaking, the child became anxious and begged, "Please, you can do whatever you want to me, even if you want to kill me, but please don't hand me over to the police, please."

As the child spoke, he knelt down directly.

Hey, it seems that this boy is quite filial and knows not to bring trouble to his family.

But since this has happened, it must be dealt with.

This kid obviously did this for the first time, but no matter what the reason was, if he succeeded this time, he would definitely be on a path of no return.

Of course, if Cao Liang hadn't seen at first sight that he was a child and that he was holding a "fake knife", he would have crippled him long ago.

Cao Liang pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "It's okay if you don't send the police, but you have to take us to your home."

"this......"

When the child heard this condition, he immediately felt embarrassed.

"If you don't agree, I'll send you to the police."

"I'll take you there!"

When the boy heard what Cao Liang said, he immediately agreed.

It seems that he really doesn't want to involve his family.

Then he obediently took Cao Liang and Gangzi to his home.

In fact, Cao Liang's talk of reporting to the police was just to scare him.

It was the middle of the night, and he had gone to the police station. How was he going to explain his presence here?

What's more, this is the black market.

Isn't this just getting yourself into trouble?

But it's quite useful, at least the kid is quite scared.

After walking for half an hour.

The further they walked, the more remote it became. Gangzi became impatient and threatened, "Boy, are you deliberately taking us on a random walk to delay time?"

"No...no, my house is just in front."

After walking for a while, the child stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated house.

There was still candlelight in the house.

The child hesitated for a moment, then went forward and knocked on the door.

"Is the monkey back?"

Soon, a female voice was heard from inside, sounding a little anxious.

When the door opened, a figure came out holding a candle.

By candlelight, Cao Liang saw a girl who was about his age.

The girl was about 1.6 meters tall, which was considered very tall in those days.

She had two braids and an oval face. Although she looked a little pale, her facial features were very pretty. Although she was thin, she had a good figure. At least her future children would not lack milk.

"Sister Xingzi, I..."

When the child called 'Monkey' saw the girl coming out, he was about to speak, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw the girl suddenly turn around and rush into the house.

When he came out again, he had a kitchen knife in his hand. He stared at Cao Liang and Gangzi with his big eyes and said sternly, "Who are you? Monkey, come here quickly."

Seeing this, Cao Liang immediately raised his eyebrows. Is this woman so fierce? She came up without saying anything and just used a knife?

Looking closely, I saw that the girl's body was trembling slightly.

Cao Liang then realized that she was pretending.
