Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 1054: Echoes in the Factory

"Yan Bugui, you are dreaming!" He Yudong said gritting his teeth.

"Really? It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin." Yan Bugui sneered and clapped his hands.

Two burly men walked out of the darkness, holding sticks in their hands, staring at He Yudong with ferocious looks.

He Yudong's heart sank, he knew he was no match for them. But he did not back down, instead he gripped the kitchen knife more firmly.

"Yan Bugui, do you think I'm afraid of you? The worst that can happen is that both of us will die!" He Yudong roared.

The smile on Yan Bugui's face disappeared, and his eyes turned cold. "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you! Bring it to me!"

Two big men rushed towards He Yudong, waving sticks. He Yudong waved a kitchen knife and fought back.

Knives flashed, sticks swung, and the factory was in chaos. Although He Yudong was brave, he was outnumbered and was soon hit by several sticks, causing unbearable pain.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness and kicked a big man to the ground.

"stop!"

It's a stupid column!

He held a wooden stick in his hand and stared fiercely at Yan Bugui and the remaining big man.

"Shazhu, are you here to die too?" Yan Bugui sneered.

Sha Zhu ignored him and turned to look at He Yudong, "Yudong, are you okay?"

He Yudong shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you."

"Why be polite to this old fox! Let's attack together!" Sha Zhu roared and rushed towards the remaining big man waving a wooden stick.

He Yudong also endured the pain, waved the kitchen knife again and joined the fight.

With the addition of Sha Zhu, the situation of the battle turned around instantly. Although Sha Zhu looked silly at ordinary times, he was extremely fierce in a fight. After a few blows, he beat the big man to tears.

Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui's face changed drastically. He knew that he could not gain any advantage today, so he turned around and tried to escape.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Sha Zhu grabbed Yan Bugui by the collar and threw him to the ground.

"Tell me! Where are Qin Huairu and the children?" Sha Zhu roared.

Yan Bugui was trembling with fear, "I... I don't know..."

"Don't know?" Sha Zhu sneered and raised the stick to hit him.

At this moment, a child's cry suddenly came from deep inside the factory.

"Mommy mommy..."

He Yudong and Sha Zhu looked at each other and immediately ran towards the direction where the crying sound came from.

In a dark corner, they found Qin Huairu and the children. Qin Huairu was tied to a pillar, and the children were huddled beside her, trembling with fear.

"Qin Huairu!" He Yudong hurried over and untied the rope that tied Qin Huairu.

"Yudong...Shazhu..." Qin Huairu burst into tears when she saw them.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." He Yudong comforted her and held her tightly in his arms.

Sha Zhu walked over to the children and gently stroked their heads, "Don't cry, the bad guys have been chased away."

The children stopped crying, looked up, and looked at Sha Zhu with fearful eyes. Sha Zhu suddenly took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to the children, "Eat the candies, don't be afraid."

The children hesitated for a moment, took the candy and put it into their mouths carefully.

At this moment, a siren suddenly sounded outside the factory...

The night was thick, like ink, and the cold wind was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting He Yudong's thin clothes. He held the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, and the handle was soaked with sweat. The abandoned factory outside the city, a place he had never set foot on, has now become his only destination.

The gate of the abandoned factory was rusty and creaked. He Yudong took a deep breath and pushed the gate open.

The interior of the factory was empty and gloomy. Moonlight poured in through the dilapidated windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground. The air was filled with a pungent musty smell mixed with a faint smell of blood, which made He Yudong feel nauseous.

"Qin Huairu! Children!" He Yudong shouted at the top of his voice. His voice echoed in the empty factory, but there was no response.

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the darkness. "Hey, He Yudong, you are finally here."

Yan Bugui walked out from the shadows, holding a pistol in his hand, pointing the gun at He Yudong.

"Yan Bugui, why are you doing this?" He Yudong roared, tightening the kitchen knife in his hand.

"Why? Haha," Yan Bugui sneered, "You robbed my house and my woman, and now you're asking me why?"

He Yudong was stunned. Yan Bugui's words confused him. "What are you talking about? When did I rob your house and woman?"

Yan Bugui's expression turned ferocious. "Qin Huairu was originally mine! If it weren't for you, she would be my wife now! And that house, I also saved up money to buy it, why did you take it!"

He Yudong then realized that Yan Bugui was taking revenge on him for getting Qin Huairu and the house.

"Yan Bugui, you are crazy! Qin Huairu doesn't like you at all. The house was allocated to me by the street office. What does it have to do with you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yan Bugui roared, "Today, I will make you pay the price!"

He raised his pistol, pointed it at He Yudong and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, He Yudong felt a sharp pain in his chest. He staggered back a few steps and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground.

"Haha, He Yudong, you've come to this day!" Yan Bugui laughed triumphantly.

He Yudong covered his chest, blood flowing out from his fingers. He felt his vitality was rapidly fading, and the world in front of him began to become blurry.

"Qin Huairu...children..." He whispered in a low voice using his last bit of strength.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness and knocked Yan Bugui to the ground.

"Shazhu!" He Yudong raised his head with difficulty and saw the familiar face of Shazhu.

"Yudong, how are you?" Shazhu asked anxiously.

"Hurry...save...Qin Huairu...and the children..." He Yudong said intermittently, and then lost consciousness.

Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui wrestled with each other, both of them were very ruthless, each punch hit the flesh and each move was fatal.

Finally, Sha Zhu, with his youth and strength, subdued Yan Bugui. He snatched the pistol from Yan Bugui and pointed it at his head.

"Tell me! Where are Qin Huairu and the children?" Sha Zhu roared.

Yan Bugui was beaten black and blue by Sha Zhu, but he still refused to give in. "I...I won't tell you..."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Sha Zhu's eyes, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, Yan Bugui's head exploded, and blood and brain matter splattered all over Sha Zhu's face.

Sha Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect that he actually shot and killed someone.

He took a deep breath, wiped the blood off his face, and then began to look for Qin Huairu and the children in the factory.

Finally, he found them in a corner. Qin Huairu and the children were tied up, with rags stuffed in their mouths. When they saw Sha Zhu, they all showed hope in their eyes.

Sha Zhu quickly untied the ropes on them and took out the rags.

"Shazhu, where is Yudong?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously.

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Yu Dong...he was beaten by Yan Bugui in order to save you..."

Qin Huairu's face turned pale in an instant. She staggered to her feet and ran towards where He Yudong fell.

"Yudong! Yudong!" Qin Huairu threw herself on He Yudong, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Sha Zhu looked at this scene with mixed feelings. He didn't know how to comfort Qin Huairu, nor how to face what was going to happen next.

Suddenly, he felt a strange breath. He turned around and saw a dark figure standing at the factory gate, holding a dagger that was shining coldly.

The shadow approached step by step, and Sha Zhu's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind...

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting He Yudong's face. He held the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, and the handle was soaked with sweat. The abandoned factory outside the city, that name was like a huge shadow, shrouding his heart.

Why did Yan Bugui, this old man who seemed to be timid, greedy and stingy, kidnap Qin Huairu and the children? What did he want to do?

Along the way, He Yudong kept thinking about the smiling faces of Qin Huairu and the children. Banggeng's mischief, Xiaodang's obedience, Huaihua's babbling... These scenes that once made him feel extremely happy now hurt his heart like needles.

He couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to Qin Huairu and the children.

The abandoned factory was once a small machinery factory near the courtyard, but it went bankrupt and has been abandoned ever since. The factory building is dilapidated, with broken windows, revealing dark holes that look like the eyes of a monster that is ready to eat people.

He Yudong approached the factory cautiously. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movements around him.

"Woooo..."

A faint crying sound came from the factory. It was Huaihua’s voice!

He Yudong's heart suddenly tightened. He no longer cared about anything else and rushed into the factory.

The factory was pitch black, and He Yudong groped his way forward, with the sound of broken glass creaking under his feet.

"Who?" a cold voice sounded.

He Yudong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark shadow standing not far away, holding a dim oil lamp in his hand.

It’s Yan Bugui!

"Yan Bugui, why did you kidnap my wife and children?" He Yudong roared.

Yan Bugui smiled sinisterly, "He Yudong, aren't you very capable? Don't you want to protect Qin Huairu? Now, your wife and children are in my hands, let me see how you protect them!"

In the dim light, He Yudong saw that Qin Huairu and the children were tied to a pillar, their mouths were blocked and their faces were full of fear.

"Yan Bugui, let them go!" He Yudong's voice trembled, but he held the kitchen knife in his hand even tighter.

"Let them go? You're dreaming! Unless you agree to one condition of mine." Yan Bugui said.

"What conditions?"

"It's very simple, just kneel down and beg me!" Yan Bugui looked at He Yudong with a smug look on his face.

He Yudong clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh. He felt a humiliating anger burning in his chest.

Kneel down and beg him? This is more painful than killing him!

"What? You don't want to? Then just wait to collect the bodies of your wife and children!" Yan Bugui sneered.

He Yudong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to act rashly, and he had to find a way to rescue Qin Huairu and the children.

"Okay, I promise you." He Yudong slowly knelt down.

Seeing He Yudong kneeling, Yan Bugui laughed triumphantly, "Haha, He Yudong, you have come to this day! Aren't you very awesome? Now you still have to kneel before me and beg me!"

A cold light flashed in He Yudong's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
