Chapter 109 Uncle's Good Nephew
"Old, Old Wu, it's, it's alright, it's alright now, you, you won't die, you won't die!!!" Old Yang breathed a huge sigh of relief and slumped to the side, panting heavily.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie sat up and pretended to touch himself.
"Holy crap, Lao Yang, how the hell did you do that?! That's incredible!!!" Wu Xie tried his best to look surprised and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone...
"I, I, I..." Lao Yang was speechless for a moment.
"Wait, wait until we get to that place, then you'll know, you'll know..." Old Yang could only say this because he couldn't think of an excuse for the time being.
"Clap clap clap..."
A crisp, powerful clapping sound suddenly rang in the ears of the three people, echoing in the empty space.
The cave was already dark, and the only lighting they had was from the few flashlights they had dropped around them. In such an environment, it was really easy to hide a few people.
Several figures emerged from the darkness, clapping as they walked. The sound of their feet scraping against the pebbles seemed to pound on Lao Yang's heart with each step.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful! There really are such amazing treasures in the world."
The voice that was speaking was that of Uncle Tai, whom they had been following.
As Uncle Tai and his group approached, they also saw the situation before them clearly.
Uncle Tai looked with great interest at the strangely shaped metal branch in Lao Yang's hand, clapping his hands with a smile.
If you ignore the prominent purplish-blue bump on his forehead, he would probably look like a major villain making his entrance.
A large young man with a large scar on his face and several bandages wrapped around his head followed beside him, holding a gun and pointing it at them. His wide eyes gleamed with ferocity, as if he were ready to blow their heads off at any moment.
Following closely behind was a middle-aged man with a thick gold chain around his neck, a bruised and swollen face, and an outdoor outfit that couldn't hide his businessman's demeanor and his fat body.
Finally, there was a small, thin figure following behind them, whose features were obscured by the darkness.
(Some people guessed that this Liang Shiye was actually Da Zhang in disguise, while others said no. We'll leave that aside for now. This is just a personal interpretation. The main thing is that he was chased and beaten by the villagers until he was bruised and battered, which was too low-class.)
Feel free to discuss in the comments section!
Wu Xie was initially disappointed when Old Liu told him that Uncle Tai and his group had run away.
Seeing their rather comical entrance, well, it seems the trap I dug did have some effect after all...

However, one of the five was missing. Wu Xie glanced discreetly in the direction of the big fish, guessing that it had already been sacrificed.
Although Wu Xie's head-turning movement was very small, it was still noticed by the young man holding the gun, who immediately pointed the gun at Wu Xie.
"Don't you dare move, or I'll blow your head off!"
Su Li let out a frightened whimper, then threw herself into Wu Xie's arms, trembling as she shielded him from her.
"Waaaaah... Brother, I'm scared..."
Uncle Tai looked at Su Li, who seemed to be crying from fright, shook his head, and said to the big man.
"Er Mazi, can't you speak more politely? Don't you see there are minors here? Don't scare them. They're much more useful than you. Put the gun away."
Er Mazi grinned disdainfully upon hearing this, then bared his teeth fiercely at Su Li. Seeing that Su Li, who was peeking, was so frightened that she turned her head and buried herself in Wu Xie's arms again, he smugly put the pistol back into his belt and walked to the side.
"I met a few more people."
Uncle Tai squatted down in front of Lao Yang, looking at him with a forced smile.
I never imagined that after spending most of my life navigating this world, I would almost be fooled by a few young punks. They were quite the convincing actors...
Uncle Tai's eyes were gloomy, but his face was all smiles. He even took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to Lao Yang.
"Young man, this treasure of yours is quite interesting. Would you mind showing this old man something new?"
Lao Yang tightened his grip, his face turning extremely ugly. He stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single word, only managing to hide the object in his hand behind his back again.
"Looks like you don't think much of this old man, young man!"
Uncle Tai's gaze sent a chill down Lao Yang's spine. Upon hearing this, he could only shake his head frantically, looking as if it were impossible.
"Alright, look how nervous you are. The old man isn't some kind of robber who steals what others love. If he doesn't want you to see it, he doesn't want you to see it. Relax, relax."
His relaxed and kind tone, if you ignored the context, really sounded like the kind old man from the next alley.
"It's fate that we meet here. We've already bumped into each other twice. Don't you think we're quite destined for each other?"
The situation is beyond my control. What can I say in this situation? Lao Yang nodded in agreement.
Uncle Tai was very satisfied, looking at Lao Yang with the same eyes one would use to look at one of his own young men.
"At my age, I'm a bit presumptuous. The brothers in the underworld give me face and all call me Uncle Tai."
Uncle Tai patted Lao Yang on the shoulder as he spoke. "I think you guys are a good match, and I want to help you make some money. What do you say?"
A menacing gaze was fixed on Lao Yang, making him break out in a cold sweat. "No, no need, I've used it, I..."
"Damn it, you stuttering brat dare to disrespect my uncle? Believe me or not, I'll shoot you!!!"
As soon as Lao Yang refused, the burly Er Mazi jumped up as if he was about to draw his gun.
"Er Mazi, get out of my way! What are you yelling about? I told you not to scare the little kid."
Uncle Tai gave Er Mazi a light scolding, then looked at Lao Yang. "I didn't hear you clearly just now, what did you say?"
Lao Yang swallowed hard. "I, I said, thank you, thank you, Uncle."
"Ah! That's right!" Uncle Tai nodded happily, satisfied.
"My dear nephew, don't worry, I'll make you rich."
Su Li secretly pursed her lips as she listened to Uncle Tai's combination of coaxing and intimidation.
This little world is toxic; none of the people with the word 'uncle' in their names are good. Whether they're swindlers or not, nobody knows, but nephews and the like are guaranteed to be swindlers.
"Nephew, tell your uncle, what kind of place is that 'place' you just mentioned?"
Old Yang's already bad complexion worsened, and the old man had been arguing with him for so long just for this.
"Uncle, what did you say? What is it? I, I, I don't understand."
"Don't you understand?" Uncle Tai still spoke in his usual unhurried tone. He wasn't angry at Lao Yang's perfunctory attitude and just beckoned to Er Mazi.
Er Mazi understood, took out the gun from his waist, cocked it, and put it in Uncle Tai's hand.
"Uncle Gang, you seem quite concerned about whether this kid lives or dies."
Uncle Tai fiddled with the gun in his hand, then suddenly pointed it at Wu Xie, who was sitting quietly to the side, trying to keep a low profile and just watching the show.
Suddenly, Wu Xie found himself with a gun pointed at him: ? ? ? ? ?
Just... pure bad luck, I'm numb to it... I'm used to it...
Lao Yang was instantly caught off guard and fell silent. Of course, he couldn't let anything happen to Lao Wu; that old man was really good at judging people.
