Chapter 1832
Regret for a Lifetime
In the car, Wang Li, who was driving, said excitedly:
"Hahahaha. It was so damn satisfying to beat up these idiots. I even gave in and thought I'd just take a detour and not take the dollar, but they still wouldn't let it go. They even dared to point their broken double-barreled shotgun at us. They really deserved a beating."
Given Wang Li's personality, it is indeed quite remarkable that he was able to suppress his frustration and not argue with the other party.
After Wang Li finished speaking, Mu Xueli continued:
"Yeah, these idiots, I don't know what they were thinking, trying to rob us with that crappy double-barreled shotgun, it's really fucking hilarious, hahahahaha."
After listening, Wang An chuckled and poured cold water on the two of them, saying:
"You two are really something, all you do is brag. So what if you have a double-barreled shotgun? If someone points a double-barreled shotgun at your front and asks if you're numb, that's it, right?"
It must be said that what Wang An said was the truth, because in fact, let alone a double-barreled shotgun, even a single shotgun pointed at you could make you submit humbly.
There's no way around it, guns really can kill people!
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli and Wang Li opened their mouths, but dared not boast anymore.
Upon seeing this, Wang An continued:
"We have to do the same from now on. We have to know when to back down. When someone has a gun, we shouldn't be so reckless as to insist on going against them. If their gun goes off accidentally, then everything will be over."
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli was the first to agree:
"Yes, brother-in-law, you're right!"
Wang Li nodded in agreement.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I understand."
Huang Zhong also said:
"Don't worry, brother, I usually don't get into fights with people."
Wang An nodded and said nothing more. For a moment, the car became quiet, with only the roar of the engine echoing throughout the cabin.
Meanwhile, the four rescued men, including Tie Ming, were quickly taken to the village clinic. The doctor, Dr. Ma, gave Tie Ming a simple examination and then said with a grave expression:
“Village Chief, Tie Ming has two broken ribs, and his right wrist and right index finger are broken. If you ask me, we should send him to the county hospital. If we send him to the county hospital, there might be a chance to save him. I can’t do anything about it here.”
The phrase "there might still be hope" clearly means that the chances are slim.
So as soon as Dr. Ma finished speaking, the villagers crowded in the clinic started talking all at once:
"Holy shit, who did this? That's incredibly ruthless."
"Yeah, what grudge could they have held against you to go that far? Damn it."
"Damn it, if I find out who did it, I'll kill their whole family."
“Count me in. He dared to hit someone from our village and beat him up like this. I think he’s tired of living.”
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Tie Ming's father, who was also the village head, had his face clouded over.
He was a perfectly healthy person before, but now he has been brutally beaten into a cripple. As Tie Ming's father and the head of a village, he was already extremely anxious and furious.
She was extremely anxious because her son's injuries were very serious, and she was furious because someone dared to hit her son.
However, it's clear that what everyone said was just talk. If they actually encountered Wang An and his group, they would most likely run away faster than anyone else.
So, just as everyone was arguing and competing to see who had the best verbal skills, the village chief suddenly said, "Alright, stop arguing, shut your mouths, what's the point of arguing here?"
With just one sentence, everyone fell silent. The village head then turned to Sanhuzi and the others, who were still groaning and moaning, and asked:
"Sanhuzi, Xiaoheizi, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better? What happened? How did collecting a bridge toll turn into a fight? And how did you get beaten up like this?"
Of the four people who collected the bridge toll, only Tie Ming, who was beaten by Wang An, and the older man who was beaten by Wang Li were seriously injured. As for San Huzi, who was beaten by Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong, and the two men called Xiao Heizi, they only suffered superficial injuries and were not seriously harmed.
So far, apart from still feeling some pain, they have almost fully recovered.
Upon hearing the village chief's question, Sanhuzi and Xiaoheizi looked around at the people around them, then at the village chief, whose face was serious and earnest. The two exchanged glances, and then Sanhuzi began to recount what had happened.
The two men dared not lie in front of the village chief, so after they told the truth, the entire clinic became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The astonishment and disbelief on everyone's faces were enough to show their complex feelings.
The main reason they didn't expect it was that Tie Ming and his three accomplices were so greedy and crazy that they would actually commit something like "armed robbery".
After listening, the village chief remained silent for a long time with a cold face before finally roaring through gritted teeth:
"Serves you right, serves you right, you damn bastards! You actually dared to smash the bar with a gun, how could you do such a thing! I'll fuck you all."
"You're a menace, you're all a bunch of menaces, why don't you just let them beat you to death?"
"Let the village save you, I'll save Nimalgobi instead."
After roaring, the village chief panted heavily for a few moments, then pointed at several villagers and gave the order:
"You guys, go and carry all four of them back to their own homes. If they survive, great; if not, they can just wait to die, so they won't be able to cause any more trouble."
It was clear that the village chief was extremely furious at this moment, and he didn't even care about his own seriously injured son.
However, it must be admitted that this village chief was actually a really good person, because he was a very upright person.
However, it is foreseeable that if Tie Ming does not receive prompt treatment, he will definitely end up with a disability.
Tie Ming himself will eventually regret his robbery for the rest of his life.
He became disabled at a young age, and it was because he was killed while fighting back during a robbery. I guess Tie Ming's biggest wish is to go back to the way things were before, and then live a normal life without ever committing armed robbery again.
Wang An and his three companions traveled at breakneck speed for over an hour before finally arriving home.
However, at this point in time, Wang An and his three companions also missed lunch.
After each of them made themselves a packet of instant noodles to tide them over, Wang An invited the three of them to the West Wing, intending to split the money from the gun sale with them.
The four men sat on the kang (a heated brick bed). Wang An threw the money among them and said:
"We've brought back all the money from the guns we got on this trip into the mountains. Let's settle the accounts and then split the profits."
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli said nonchalantly:
"Brother-in-law, you're in charge. No need to calculate the costs, really." (End of Chapter)
