Seeing that the village was under full control of the bandits, Li Fu knew that his actions now would be in vain, so he did not act rashly.
To say that he has seen a lot of life and death in these years, he doesn't feel much sadness or anger about the death of the old Orion, let alone being impulsive, but decides to wait and see what happens.
If there are still people in the village who can escape, then they might as well help. If something couldn't be done, he certainly wouldn't hit it with an egg.
And there was still a trace of doubt in his mind. Ordinarily Jiangdong Hutou can be regarded as a well-known hero in the world, and with the careful guidance of the old Orion over the years, he shouldn't be just a Xibei.
But looking at the situation in the village today, there is no defense. Even if you are attacked by others and caught off guard, you won't have no resistance at all?
He had only heard a few sporadic gunshots just now. Most of the bandits used knives to kill people, which meant that they were dealing with unarmed villagers. You know, it’s true that bandits have guns, but bullets are hard to come by, so they usually save what they can.
So, Zhao Qinghu, who is known as the Tiger Head of Jiangdong, and his brothers will just hold their heads and wait for others to chop them off?
Li Fu didn't believe that the adopted son trained by the old Orion was such a weakling. Back then, he had seen the skills of the old hunter. Apart from not knowing how to play with a gun, his hunting skills were the only ones he had ever seen in his life.
Even he also learned a lot of tracking, disguise, squatting and setting traps from the old hunter. Many of the suggestions he later gave to Ma Laoer were actually inspired by these hunting methods.
If it is not Xibei goods, there is only one explanation, and that is that Zhao Qinghu and his men are not in the village.
When it was daylight, Tianfanbao and his gang of bandits had already run away, and then more than a dozen small boats came from the waterway. It seemed that they were coming from the government.
Li Fu watched from a distance in the forest behind the village. Until a large group of people from Pingbo Hall arrived behind and clamored to enter the mountain to suppress the bandits, Li Fu was already sure that Zhao Qinghu was definitely not in the village.
He knew that the Heaven-turning Leopard was hired by the Ding family, and now the Ding family suddenly sent out more than two hundred people from Pingbo Hall to suppress the bandits. There was no need to go to such great lengths to show off, there must be other purposes.
Li Fu, who had been in the bandit den for more than five years, certainly knew that the purpose was to eradicate the evil.
This also indirectly shows that Zhao Qinghu is not in the village, and the Ding family is going to kill Zhao Qinghu as a bandit.
By now, Li Fu has basically understood the Ding family's plan.
While Zhao Qinghu and his brothers were away, the bandits came and killed the entire village. Then Pingbotang went into the mountains in the name of suppressing bandits. As long as he found a suitable place to ambush Zhao Qinghu on his way home, he would be able to do it cleanly without leaving any flaws.
Li Fu took a deep breath when he looked at the clothes and equipment of the team that entered the mountain from Pingbotang.
The two hundred or so people were all wearing green clothes and blue trousers, with headscarves on their heads and leggings on their feet. They were uniformly dressed and formed a neat formation.
Li Fu is a good judge of things. He saw that everyone in Pingbo Hall had guns and was well-trained. They were all good guns and they were all made in Hanyang. The key is that there are two strong men carrying two big guys covered with cloth covers on their shoulders. Li Fu recognized them as two machine guns at a glance.
This is the confidence of the wealthy family, and it is also the reason why the Ding family can become so famous in Jiangxi.
Li Fu dared to bet with anyone that even the security teams in Hukou and several surrounding counties would not have such good equipment.
No wonder they have been able to dominate the Yangtze River for so many years and still remain standing. Compared with other bandits like Ma Laoer, who are known as big guys, they are just filthy country bumpkins.
With so many people and so many guns, to ambush a small team of only a few dozen people is simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. This shows how determined Ping Botang is to kill Zhao Qinghu.
At that time, under random gunfire, hehe, the uninformed Jiangdong Hutou was afraid that he would die as a fool, and he had no idea who killed him.
Afterwards, Pingbotang only wanted to say that Zhao Qinghu met the bandits and was attacked and died, while he repelled the bandits and protected the safety of the villagers in Hukou County.
In this way, Pingbotang took full advantage of the situation, and all aspects were accounted for, which also increased a lot of reputation and prestige.
The key is to kill the enemy cleanly and end it all once and for all.
What a plan! What a good mind!
Li Fu secretly praised, and he also admired the Ding family's methods in his heart.
It's a pity that since he's here, he can't let the Ding family's plan succeed.
Therefore, Li Fu's top priority now is to find Zhao Qinghu before he dives into the dragnet set up by the Ding family.
So, where can I find Zhao Qinghu? Naturally, it can only be the former residence of the old hunter in the mountains.
Because before coming here, Li Fu had already visited the original nursing home and found that not only the old Orion's original wooden house was not dilapidated, but there were signs of repairs in many places. There were also several new thatched houses built nearby, and there were also Simple Datong shop.
Li Fu knew at a glance that this place must have become a temporary camp for Zhao Qinghu and his men.
So he returned to the old Orion's mountain cabin and waited patiently. By the way, he could also repair his tired body from the long journey.
As for when Zhao Qinghu will come? Will it come or not? This is beyond Li Fu's control.
It just depends on whether God will accept the life of this Jiangdong tiger. As for Li Hu, as long as he is benevolent and dedicated, even if he doesn't wait for Zhao Qinghu, he can still repay the life-saving grace of the old Orion. Presumably his spirit in heaven will not blame him.
Fortunately, Zhao Qinghu's life was saved and he came to the mountain camp and met Li Fu who was cooking at the camp.
Although Zhao Qinghu didn't know Li Fu, he had heard his adoptive father talk about such a person. The two of them just exchanged a few tentative words and confirmed each other's identities.
Li Fu is now thirty years old, and Zhao Qinghu is regarded as the eldest brother.
After Li Fu told Zhao Qinghu everything he saw and analyzed, the young men in the hunting team burst into an uproar.
Some shed tears in pain and cursed the Ding family for not being human, some gritted their teeth and went to fight with Pingbotang with red eyes, and some collapsed on the ground sobbing with excessive grief and anger. The scene was a chaos.
Li Fu didn't interrupt, he just stood aside like a bystander, watching how Zhao Qinghu decided.
He just wanted to see how Jiangdong Hutou, who was already famous in the world despite being very young, performed?
For Li Fu, Old Orion's life-saving grace was actually repaid after he promptly prevented Zhao Qinghu and the others from falling into the trap. As for how to deal with Pingbotang's suppression and future plans, it depends on Zhao Qinghu's character? Is it worth helping yourself?
