The intersection of Jiuzhou Road and Tianwang Street.
Lu Tao's sudden attack really caught the group of people who attacked Guan Lei off guard.
These people originally thought that his tricycle just lost control because of the slippery road. Unexpectedly, this young man riding a tricycle saw blood when he shot without saying a word.
It wasn't until the second man was beaten down by Lu Tao that the others responded and attacked him with sticks.
Faced with the siege of four or five people, Lu Tao carried a stick on his back, took advantage of the chaos to grab a knife, and slashed three times at the young man in front of him.
The young man's down jacket was chopped open, the duck down inside was flying in the sky, and blood splattered everywhere.
Guan Lei and Bin Bin have been in society for so long, and they are both militants. When it comes to fighting, they are like two little tigers. They seized the opportunity to get up and quickly joined the fight.
The two sides fighting here are both professional gangsters, and they are very measured in their attacks. They will avoid vital points and attack the limbs.
Among the more than ten people, Lu Tao was the dirtiest.
He wandered among the crowd and used dirty tricks, including kicking his crotch and poking his eyes.
These are habits developed in prison.
It's not like the outside world. It's hard to find a stone in a fight, let alone a weapon. Unless you fight in a garment workshop, most fights are mainly fists and kicks.
In that kind of close-quarters combat, the best way to protect yourself is to use the least effort and defeat your opponent in the shortest time.
Lu Tao held a steel knife and stabbed two people in succession, completely suppressing the opponent's arrogance.
The young man in the leather jacket seized the opportunity, kicked Lu Tao into the snowdrift, and ran back to the van with the others. He didn't even have time to close the door, and disappeared into the street with a blast of the accelerator.
"Fuck, don't run!"
Guan Lei had two big bruises on his head with a stick, and he was a little anxious now: "Binbin, you are like a mountain cannon, and you are thinking about your sixth uncle over there! Get in the car and chase them!"
"Brother Lei, the car crashed!"
Binbin looked at the large puddle of liquid under the front of the car, rubbed his swollen cheeks and said, "It looks like the antifreeze leaked."
"Bang!"
Guan Lei kicked the Liberty Ship irritably, and then scanned the street, trying to stop a taxi and catch up, but there was no vehicle in sight.
"Okay, stop chasing!"
Lu Tao saw Guan Lei's down jacket stained red with blood and dropped the knife in his hand: "Where was it hurt?"
"It's okay, even if it's a skin injury, I can't feel any pain!"
When Guan Lei said this, the cold wind blew on his wound, and he grinned in pain: "Brother Tao, how did you know we were attacked?"
"I saw money in the phone box and thought you couldn't drive fast in this weather. I wanted to chase it out and give it back to you, but instead I saw this scene."
Lu Tao saw that Guan Lei's clothes were soaked with blood and had begun to drip out. He walked to the Geely car and waved to Binbin: "Come here and lend a hand, push the car to the side of the road, and I will take you to the hospital."
Hearing this, Guan Lei glanced at Lu Tao's tricycle: "Brother Tao, are you kidding? How can I ask you to pedal for me?"
"This is what I do for a living. If others can sit, why can't you?"
Lu Tao pushed Guan Lei's Freedom Ship to a place out of the way on the side of the road, and pulled open the door of the tricycle shed, which was covered with a layer of ice: "Come up quickly, the blood will drain out in a while, and I won't let you freeze into a chicken rack!"
"Why!"
Guan Lei's heart warmed up, he covered his wound and sat in the car. When he saw Binbin wanted to follow him, he kicked him: "Didn't you see the heavy snow on the street? Have you grown that ass yet?" You want my brother to pedal the bike for you? Push the bike from behind!"
…
Guan Lei's injury was not serious because he was cushioned by a down jacket and sweater. He only had a five-centimeter incision on his belly and needed more than ten stitches.
After getting the anti-inflammatory injection at the hospital, it was already past nine o'clock.
Lu Tao and other nurses took out Guan Lei's needle and said to him: "I have talked with the doctor. Your injury is not serious. You will be discharged after staying for three or two days."
"Brother Tao, I can't live here. I organized a Pai Gow game in the Soviet area today. The tents and generators in the mountains are all ready. The money for establishing relationships has also been spent. I have to go back to suppress the situation! "
Guan Lei grinned: "If you have nothing to do, just come back with me for a walk."
Lu Tao heard that Guan Lei had something to do back in the Soviet area, and wanted to find him a taxi, but there was no taxi available that day.
Helpless, he could only pedal three more times and choose to use human power to send him back.
Lu Tao had planned well before, thinking that he could make more money by going out in the snow, but when he got on the road, he realized that the snow disaster was far more serious than he thought.
Although the snow has been cleared from the roads, there is still a layer of ice in many places.
He was riding on the car and almost smashed the pedals. As a result, the wheels just spun and he couldn't move forward at all.
The main roads in the city are already clogged with vehicles. They either break down quietly or make the sound of ignition over and over again. Some vehicles are stuck in the mud and cannot move even if they slam on the accelerator.
Fortunately, Binbin was a child who had endured hardships and could still trade bicycles with Lu Tao. Otherwise, Lu Tao's basket would have been broken by the car seat over a distance of forty or fifty kilometers.
Taking advantage of Binbin's break, Lu Tao sat in the ice cellar-like back compartment, took off his military coat and put it on Guan Lei: "Can your body still bear it?"
Guan Lei pretended to push away: "I'm fine! Brother Tao, please put on the cotton monkey quickly, don't catch a cold!"
"Wear it! I've been in prison and suffered more than this. Didn't I survive it?"
Lu Tao couldn't help but hold down Guan Lei's arm: "Why did those people block you today? Did you offend them?"
Guan Lei paused for a moment: "The one who took the lead in killing me today is Sun Qiang, the idiot in the leather jacket. He is Li Jifeng's younger brother."
Lu Tao thought thoughtfully: "Li Jifeng, this name sounds familiar."
"He is also from the Soviet Area. His hometown is Zhongxing. When Brother Zhang Bing was not dead, Li Jifeng had been grooming him. You should have seen him before."
Guan Lei continued: "Li Jifeng is a money tricker and a professional poker player. He has a chess and card room in Huxi, just two blocks away from my place. Every year during the Spring Festival, Li Jifeng organizes a Pai Gow game with relatively large bets. For a gambling game, go to the mountains to find a place to start the game. Most of the gamblers are migrant workers from Honglingbao who go out to work and go home to celebrate the New Year. Some of them are village officials and so on!
I usually open a chess and card room and don't organize gambling. I just charge a table fee when someone is playing. There is no competition with him, but he still squeezed me out of Huxi and moved me to another place!
During the Spring Festival this year, I also organized a Pai Gow game. The rake was half that of his place, and it attracted a lot of people from the Honglingbao area. Li Jifeng called me to warn me, but I didn’t take it seriously. I scolded him, but I didn’t expect that this bastard would actually dare to do something evil to me. "
"Did you steal his business?"
Lu Tao took out the cigarette case in his pocket: "Since I didn't have any friction with him when I was squeezed away by him before, why should I offend him this year?"
"Haha, why don't you make money, you bastard! Why should he only make money? I'm jealous!"
Guan Lei said something carelessly, and when he saw Lu Tao staring at him like an eagle, he felt a little uncomfortable, and showed a silly smile: "I have opened a chess and card room in the past two years, and I can only make ends meet, but this Spring Festival you Aren't you going to be released from prison? I want to make more money to entertain you, but I can't think of any way to get the money for a while, so I can only choose to take a desperate risk and touch Li Jifeng's cake... The fifty thousand yuan I gave you is This is how I saved it.”
