Li Ruixin frowned and turned around to look at the campsite. He saw that the fire was still burning brightly and there were two tents set up on the left and right. The fire lit up the surroundings but it was empty. There was not even a shadow. He asked, "Where is it?"
Zhang Yijin pointed to the tent near the forest and said, "Just now, there was someone beside your tent. It seemed like he was looking into Lanlan's tent and then disappeared. Did he hide behind your tent?"
Li Rui opened his eyes wide and looked carefully. From his current angle, he could only see three directions of the tent. All three sides were empty and only the back of the tent could not be seen. However, he did not dare to believe that there was someone hiding behind the tent. He asked softly, "Are you sure you didn't see wrongly?"
Zhang Yijin was already a little scared. She shook her head and said, "How can it be? My eyes are fine. It's 1.6! "
Li Rui hesitated for a moment and said softly, "You stay here and don't move. I'll go take a look." He wanted to pick up a branch from the ground as a weapon for self-defense. However, he remembered that he had already picked up all the branches on the ground when he was collecting firewood. He could only go forward empty-handed.
Zhang Yijin pulled on his clothes and said timidly, "I don't want to stay here. I'm scared."
Li Rui helplessly pursed his lips and said softly, "Then follow behind me." As he spoke, he tiptoed towards the campsite.
After taking a few steps, Li Rui stepped on a pebble. He bent down and picked it up. This pebble was the size of a fist. It could be thrown to hurt the enemy in a critical moment. It could be used as a self-defense weapon.
On the way, Li Rui tried not to make any sound with his footsteps. His ears were still listening to the movements of the campsite. However, when he was almost at the edge of the campsite, he did not hear any strange movements. He decided to take a few steps forward and rushed to the back of his tent. However, there was no one behind him. He sneered and threw the pebble on the ground. He turned around and said to Zhang Yijin, "Is it fun to scare people?"
Just as Zhang Yijin was about to speak, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the forest to her right. The footsteps were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already reached her ears. Li Rui had also heard it long ago. He turned his head and saw two black shadows rushing over. It seemed that they did not come with good intentions. He hurriedly protected Zhang Yigui and retreated a few steps, hiding beside the fire. At the same time, he protected Yu Lan who was inside the tent.
With the help of the firelight, they could clearly see that the two shadows were men in their twenties. One of them was slightly fat, had curly hair, had an ugly face, and was wearing a shabby camouflage uniform. The other was thin, had a crew cut, had triangular eyes, and had a fierce face. He was wearing a jacket, jeans, and a pair of broken leather shoes stained with cement.
The two of them quickly rushed to the edge of the campsite and watched over Li Rui and Zhang Yixia from the left and right. The fat man in the lead pointed at the two of them and cursed in the local dialect, "Who the f * ck allowed you to sleep here? Don't you know this is our land?"
The thin man did not say anything. He only looked at Zhang Yigui lecherously. His throat kept moving, and it was unknown if he was swallowing his saliva.
Li Rui already understood that Zhang Yigui did not see wrongly. The figure she saw should be one of the two people. One of them came down first to check the situation and confirmed that there was at most a family of three living in the campsite. Only then did they all appear. Their goal was not complicated. They just wanted to extort money. The fat man's words were very clear. He sneered and said, "Your land? What evidence do you have to prove that this is your land? "
The fat man turned to look at him and scolded, "Aiyo, f * ck your grandmother. You're an outsider and you dare to challenge us! I said this is our family's land, so this is our family's land! The forest outside is also our family's forest! You f * cking cut down our trees to burn, and you're eating and sleeping on our land. That's not allowed! "
The thin man interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense with them. Let them pay the fine!"
"What are you arguing about? It's so noisy that I can't sleep! "
Yu Lan suddenly popped her head out of the tent, rubbing her sleepy eyes with one hand as she looked outside. When she saw that a stranger had come, and that he was obviously not a good person, she was shocked. Her expression changed drastically, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Li Rui pulled Zhang Yigui and said, "You and Lan Lan go into the tent and wait. I'll deal with them!"
Zhang Yigui obediently agreed and hugged Lan Lan into the tent.
The thin man looked at the entrance of the tent with a burning gaze and smacked his lips.
The fat man pretended to be ferocious and stared at Li Rui. He shouted, "You can't sleep on our land for nothing. You can't burn our wood for nothing. You have to pay the fine! If you pay the fine, I'll let you go this time. If you don't pay, don't blame me for taking action. When the time comes, not only will I beat you up, the fine will also be unavoidable! "
Li Rui was not nervous or afraid. He asked with a smile, "How much? Let me see if I brought enough money. "
The fat man shouted, "Ten thousand dollars! Not a single cent less! "
Li Rui laughed, "Do you see anyone running around with so much cash these days?"
The thin man pointed at him and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. You drove a BMW X5 here. How can you not have money? Even if you don't have cash, you can pay for your phone, jewelry, and watches. Hurry up and hand them over. Don't trouble us. We don't have good tempers! " As he spoke, he took out a switchblade from his trouser pocket with his right hand. He pressed on the spring and the shiny blade popped out.
Li Rui was slightly shocked. He thought that he had underestimated them. He thought that they were just extorting money. He did not expect them to come out with a knife. What was the difference between this and a robbery? He thought quickly and smiled, "We'll pay the fine. Brother, put away your knife first. I'm dizzy from looking at it!" As he spoke, he looked down and tried to find a self-defense weapon on the ground.
If the two of them were empty-handed, he was confident that he could take care of them by force. However, now that they had a knife in their hands, he did not have the guts to step forward. No matter how skilled he was in martial arts, he would not be able to withstand a stab from the other party's knife!
There was an oven on the ground. It was thick and heavy, and it would be very difficult to use it to deal with the dagger, so it was not a good choice. There was also a stool, which was not easy to use. There was also a burning bonfire and a pile of firewood. However, in order to make it easier to burn, Li Rui had already broken off the overly long branches. Now, the longest branch was only about 30 centimeters long, which was barely enough to deal with the dagger.
When the thin man heard Li Rui's soft words, he smiled proudly and lowered the knife, "Then hurry up and pay! Otherwise, I can recognize you, but this knife of mine can't! "
The fat man added, "Hand over all your money and valuables. Hand them over and we'll let you go!"
Li Rui pretended to be troubled, "Didn't you say that you only want a fine of ten thousand dollars? Why are you asking for things now? What you are doing is blatant robbery! "
"Hmph!" The fat man snorted, "We're robbing you. So what? You don't like it? Call the police if you don't like it. Haha, let's see if the police can come and save you! Hahaha, idiot! "
The thin man started to take advantage of Zhang Yimin again. He pointed the tip of the knife at the tent inside and said with a smile, "Why is your wife in there? Let her out. I've never seen such a beautiful woman. Come and play with us! "
Li Rui was furious. His eyes flashed coldly. He squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand in each hand. When he got up, he threw the sand at the two men.
The fat man was not on guard. He only reacted when the sand entered his eyes. He cried out in pain and turned around to rub his eyes.
The thin man reacted quickly. When he saw Li Rui throwing the sand at him, he turned around and dodged. Li Rui took advantage of the moment when he dodged to pick up two thirty-centimeter long branches from the pile of firewood. They were as thick as a child's arm. He held them in both hands and raised his right hand high to hit the back of the thin man's head. The thin man was not an idiot. He dodged the sand and turned around to stab Li Rui. Li Rui saw that the dagger was coming at him fiercely. He did not dare to take the risk. The branch in his right hand stopped in mid-air and the branch in his left hand was raised from the bottom to hit the dagger.
The skinny man saw the movement of his left hand, but it was too late for him to dodge. The dagger was hit by the twig in his hand, but he felt a warmth in his hand. The dagger flew out of his hand and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Li Rui was delighted. He raised the branch in his right hand again and smashed it at the thin man's head. The thin man took two steps back to dodge. Li Rui caught up with him and hit him with the branch in both hands. The thin man raised his arms to block. He was hit hard. Although the bones in his arms were not broken, they were almost there. He screamed in pain and his arms fell down. Li Rui did not let him go. He raised the branch again and hit the thin man's head. The thin man could not defend anymore. He was hit again and again. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground to struggle.
Li Rui saw that the thin man had temporarily lost his ability to harm others. He turned around and rushed to the fat man. The unlucky fat man was still painfully dealing with the sand in his eyes. He did not know that danger was approaching. Li Rui rushed to his side and hit his head mercilessly. "You still want to pay the fine? You still want the phone? You still want the jewelry? You still want the watch? I'll f * cking give you everything. You better take it … "He scolded and hit the fat man. When he finished scolding, the fat man was already on the ground. The fat man hugged his head and howled like a ghost in the dark night.
Zhang Yijin was very worried about Li Rui. She had already stuck her head out to take a look. Seeing him displaying his might and knocking down the two robbers to the ground, she was happy and excited. The sense of security in her heart reached its highest point ever. She patted Yu Lan's arm and said, "It's safe now. Your godfather knocked down the two robbers!"
"My godfather?" Yu Lan asked in puzzlement. Her expression softened and she carefully looked out.
