Chapter Ten: A Bloody Case Triggered by an Ox

  "Haha! Wu Kui, it's your turn now? Is my brother Da Shuan useless?"

  The head of the Zhuo household was a sixty-year-old gaunt old man, with a goat-like beard and wearing a worn-out sheepskin jacket, with bulging blue veins on his neck.

  Just now, the iron pillar of the rescue soldier guarded the old man, and behind him were 70 or 80 people, holding dozens of weapons. Although the number is less than that of Wawu Village, after all, this sudden event has also demonstrated a remarkable emergency mobilization capability.

  "Die! Old man Da Diao has grown old and wants to enjoy a few more years of good fortune, unlike some old things that don't know when to die! What's the point of acting like an old man? I'll dismantle this pile of old bones and burn them for firewood!"

  "You're just a foolish little kid, your words don't count! Does your Tile-Roofed Village still have any dignity left?!"

  "An old thing is an old thing, even stealing a cow can be reasoned out!"

  The mediators on both sides have made their moves. Don't the martial arts also emphasize a higher justice? I beat you with righteous cause! You take the beating as your due punishment!

  The young and strong men of the two villages stood facing each other, each holding their own weapons, with less than three meters of mountain road separating them, waiting in formation. As soon as the commander gave the order, they would charge forward bravely, cutting down the enemy under their horses' hooves, even if it meant going against their own relatives...

  When it comes to justice, Mantun also dragged his crying wife to the side of the road and picked up a shovel. Fighting is a man's business, and men should act like men!

  On the mountain road, only two people on both sides were "heh heh" talking about reason, and those who didn't know thought they were telling jokes.

  Uh, that ox which is about to cause a bloodshed is leisurely eating grass by the roadside.

  To avoid delaying others from fighting, Yu Gen Shun pulled Yu Xiao Ling back a few steps and sat down on a higher stone. Chu Nan stood awkwardly by the side of the road, glaring fiercely at Yu Gen Shun. Yu Gen Shun looked innocent, what did I do to provoke anyone? Yu Xiao Ling really wanted to laugh, but it was hard to hold back...

  After listening to the two village heads' argument, Yu Gen understood roughly. The Er Pao family and the Man Tun family had agreed to exchange marriages, with Er Pao's sister marrying into the Man Tun family, and the Man Tun's younger sister marrying Er Pao. Since his sister was older than Man Tun, they got married first. Three years later, it was Er Pao's turn, but Man Tun's younger sister went to work in the city and never returned, reportedly finding a suitable partner there.

  The two families negotiated in vain, and Er Pang urged his sister to divorce Man Tun. However, they already had two children, although they were a bit poor, the couple still loved each other, so his sister refused to go back. Er Pang couldn't swallow this, so he pulled Iron Pillar along with him, secretly taking out the cow from his sister's house, I'll use your family's cow to exchange for a new wife!

  The big cow is the most valuable thing in my sister's house. Man Tuen has no brothers and didn't separate from his parents. The old man was heartbroken when he lost the cow, grabbed a broom and beat Man Tuen severely, then went to find Ng Char to take charge.

  As the master of ceremonies, Wu Kui must take charge for the village elders. Besides, this is a matter of people from Zhangjia Village bullying our own village! This is a slap in my face, Wu Kui's face!

  Wu Kui immediately led the troops to chase after them. As a result, Er Pang and the others were delayed by Chu Nan, that dog of a police officer, and were actually caught up by Wu Kui...

  Chu Nan also understood, what a mess! The fights in the mountains are often caused by trivial matters, and they are fighting for a bloodline, a face, and a... uh, boredom.

  The two men scolded each other for a long time, but they still couldn't make their point clear, so they had to resort to physical confrontation.

  Wu Kui shut his mouth, raised the iron shovel and stepped forward steadily. The old man opposite him retreated two steps, and Tie Zhuang wielded the iron shovel to meet Wu Kui. The mountain people on both sides also moved, and a bloody battle was about to break out!

  "Stop!"

  Chu Nan not only drew his gun, but actually fired it, with the muzzle pointing at the sky. He thought to himself: "I've been listening to you guys for half a day, and now you're really going to fight? If you really fight, someone will get killed! As a responsible government, how can I let such consequences happen?"

  Bang!

  After the gunshot, both sides stopped. Wu Kui and Tie Zhu turned their heads at the same time, staring gloomily at Chu Nan.

  "Should we deal with her first?" Wu Kui had a great general demeanor, showing disdain for the enemy while also displaying strong self-confidence.

  "We can't let outsiders take advantage of the situation!" Tie Zhu clearly had the potential to succeed, with a clear distinction between love and hate, and would not drag things out.

  "Has Zhang's leg recovered?" The old man who had retreated looked up and laughed loudly, obviously referring to Lian Po. He was talking about Zhang the government, who was the former police station chief.

  In the mountains, people can fight and beat each other's brains out. After fighting, they just do their own thing, no one seeks revenge, whoever seeks revenge becomes a public enemy of both villages. However, outsiders absolutely cannot get involved, if there are those who don't know better, the two groups will join forces and first beat the outsider's brain out.

  Needless to say, there was Zhang's government in front and Chu's government behind, both were a bunch of numbskulls.

  Wu Kui and Tie Zhu sneered, each holding an iron shovel, advancing on Chu Nan at a steady pace, like intimate comrades in life and death.

  Chu Nan's face stiffened, but she didn't back down. She held her gun with both hands, steadily aiming at the two men. Of course, she knew what Zhang had done, but an arrow on the string must be shot. As a people's police officer, how could I let the mountain villagers brutally beat each other? The ones who were beaten to death were all living human lives!

  One step, two steps, three steps...... Wu Kui and Tie Zhu didn't make a sudden dash or show any signs of slowing down. Chu Nan gritted her teeth tightly, with sweat on her palms and the tip of her nose.

  Chu Nan Xin said, "Or, I can break the legs of these two people? Then, I'll just have to run away. The angry mountain villagers will chase me all over the mountains and they should forget about fighting each other!" I'm really a genius!

  But Shi Ga has been guarding me all along, won't he be furious? Yu Gen Shun is still sitting there steadily! Although that guy is hateful, I really want to smash his head with my own hands, but it's just limited to my own hands... And then there's Yu Xiao Ling, she's also innocent. Can these three people escape?

  Chu Nan is in trouble again, maybe my actions are really stupid? What should I do? At this point, even if Yu Gen Shun that bastard lends a hand, it's probably useless...

  The two men had already been forced to within three meters, just a jump away. Chu Nan could no longer hesitate, the muzzle of her gun was about to shoot at their legs. She had confidence in her marksmanship. The two leaders were shot, and the mountain people would inevitably be thrown into chaos for a while, at which point Yu Gen would lead them in a quick escape.

  "The 64" pistol has eight rounds. Now there are seven left. After taking down the two of them, I have five rounds left. I'll hold them off and shoot a few more legs. Then, uh, I'll run too. Hope those three can run fast enough...

  Just as Chu Nan was about to lower his gun, a whistle sounded, and an iron shovel flew out from the direction of Zhuang Village, spinning towards Chu Nan!

  Chu Nan was shocked, his body leaped backward, barely dodging the iron shovel. The five ghosts and Tie Zhu took advantage of the opportunity to pounce, flanking him from both sides!

  Chu Nan stood firm, and from the direction of Wa Wu Village, another iron shovel flew out, striking towards Chu Nan's leg!
