C69 (1/2)
The family-like warmth that had just passed had been replaced by a knife-sharp reality, an imminent danger. I woke everyone up in a hurry, went out to grab a handful of snow, and rubbed it on the foreheads of the unconscious Monkey and Yang Yufan, waking them up as well.
After everyone finished listening to my story, they all started to get nervous, especially Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie. They had just recovered from the panic of falling into the bandit's nest, and before even waking up from their sleep, they heard that the people who killed their colleagues in front of them were about to come knocking on their door. Yang Yufan had been comforting the two girls, but he himself was also pale, San Mao, Monkey and the others were discussing the strategy at the same time. Just like him, San Tu's face was also ashen, and his hands were still tightly hugging his two treasures.
”Stop talking!” I could not help but shout, and everyone immediately quietened down. Only Xiao Jie was still stomping non-stop, and grumbling at the same time, ”What do we do … ”What should we do …”
I turned my head to glare at her, but she didn't notice me, and only when Zhang Yiling gently pulled on her sleeve did she suddenly react, and covered her mouth with her hand without saying anything.
After we went to the food factory, our group of people started to secretly regard me as their leader, which was not strange, although San Mao has a certain level of military training, he was too unscrupulous and unscrupulous; Lv is a man without a mouth, he only knows how to do things silently; strong though he is brave, but he does not have much of an opinion; Yang Yufan is too young; Uncle Feng is old; the monkey has just joined, but he is still not convinced by the masses. Although I don't have the ability to lead nor the desire to do so, at this moment of life and death, I have no choice but to step forward to lead everyone.
After seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, he cleared his throat and said, ”Uncle Feng, please cook with Aunt Chen first and do something dry! If we're going to fight, we need to conserve our physical strength... Didn't you change a piece of pickled dog meat a few days ago? Don't wait until the new year, I'll do it now! ”
”Alright!” The Uncle Feng didn't waste any time on nonsense as he pulled the Aunt Chen along with him and left.
”Lv, Fann, the two horns on the wall...” I pointed outside, at two corners of the courtyard that were facing the outside, and said, ”It's easy to climb in from there, you guys can scatter some broken glass on the snow ground below, use that beer bottle from Yang Yufan's house!”
Hearing that, Yang Yufan still hesitated, but seeing that Xiao Jie was not willing to take a step forward, Lv pulled him forcefully, and then left unwillingly.
”San Mao, you go upstairs. If anyone attacks the gate or climbs the wall, you will hit them with your gun!”
San Mao did not say anything, he only pulled on the safety of the 95 assault rifle in his hand, as a response, he turned and went upstairs.
”Energetic, Monkey... San Tu... ” I shouted out the names of the three people, and both the monkey and I agreed. However, San Tu still lowered his head and tightly hugged the box, pretending not to hear anything, not knowing what he was thinking.
”San Tu!” I shouted at him, and he looked up at me, as if waking from a dream.
”You three, follow me to reinforce the gate. Use whatever you can to block the gate!” I shouted.
”Alright!” He then patted Monkey on the shoulder and said, ”Let's go inside to move those ingots!” Monkey nodded and the two of them walked into the factory.
I looked around the room, saw the white iron sofa, and waved towards San Tu, asking him to bring it with him. San Tu was still holding onto the box, looking around, unwilling to put it down.
