At 8 o'clock in the evening, Song Shufen got off work on time.

As soon as she went out, Song Shufen saw Lu Ye.

"What are you looking at, boss, why don't you go inside and wait." Song Shufen greeted Lu Ye.

"I'm taking a look here. It seems that a few new restaurants have opened here." Lu Ye replied casually.

Lu Ye helped Song Shufen carry the cloth bag, and the two of them walked home along the way they came.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark. Although there were street lights on the street, they would only turn on one after several others. The signboards of the shops were not yet lit.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lu Ye and his mother turned a corner and entered the trail.

There are no street lights here, and it's still a steep uphill road. On the left is the back of the workers' bathing hall of the mine office, and on the right is the red brick wall of the bakery. At night, the only lighting is by moonlight or bringing your own flashlight.

The flashlights at that time were still the kind that required four large batteries, which consumed a lot of power and had to be replaced with new batteries after only a few uses.

Song Shufen usually doesn't give up using it and always goes in the dark.

Crossing this section of the road is the most dangerous section of the road. Every time he comes here, Lu Ye unconsciously increases his vigilance and always pays attention to the movements around him.

Even if there are passers-by approaching, Lu Ye will be on guard.

If the surroundings were quiet, Lu Ye would feel more at ease, because to a certain extent, silence also represents safety.

Holding the cloth bag in one hand and holding Song Shufen's arm in the other, he walked up under the moonlight.

After walking past the red brick wall, there was a rocky mountain on the right. The originally gray rocks reflected the color of ashes in the moonlight.

There is a lilac tree planted at the foot of the rocky mountain. It will bloom at this time every year, and you can smell the unique floral fragrance from a long distance, which can last until June.

In fact, Lu Ye didn't like the floral scent very much.

The mother and son walked all the way up the slope. Before they had gone very far, a man stood up under the shadow of the lilac tree in front of them.

Lu Ye had very good eyesight and could see clearly. From the figure of the man, he could tell that it was a man. He couldn't see his face clearly, so Lu Ye instinctively raised his vigilance.

The man got up directly from the lilac tree and started walking downhill. Although there was still some distance between him and Lu Ye and his son, the man was walking down on the other side.

But Lu Ye was still worried. What could he do squatting under the lilac tree at night?

Do you get up and leave without wiping your butt when you poop? Pee, men always pee standing up!

Lu Ye took Song Shufen's hand and took it back. He held the mouth of the bag with his left hand and touched his lower back from behind with his right hand.

His movements were very light and he seemed calm on the surface. Even Song Shufen next to him didn't notice.

On this side, the mother and son walked closer to the left and walked upwards; on the other side, the man walked closer to the right and walked downwards.

After a distance of more than ten steps, they soon met.

The road is quite wide, and everyone can go in their own way, with at least two or three meters of space left in the middle.

Sudden!

Just as the man missed him, he turned around and rushed towards Lu Ye and his mother.

A folding knife in his right hand shone coldly under the moonlight!

"Don't move, I'll kill you if you move again!"

The folding knife in this man's hand glowed with cold light and went straight to Song Shufen's neck.

Lu Ye, who was on guard for a long time, didn't hear clearly what the man said. When the man rushed this way, Lu Ye instinctively grabbed the screwdriver with his right hand.

Seeing the knife in this man's hand, Lu Ye didn't hesitate at all.

Holding the bag with his left hand, he took the lead and swung it towards the opponent's face.

It was dark, and the man couldn't see clearly what Lu Ye got in his hand. He only felt something flying towards his face.

Subconsciously he closed his eyes, raised his right hand to protect his head, and faced the impact.

"ah!"

Only then did Song Shufen react and let out a scream.

The person was so frightened that he froze on the spot.

Lu Ye didn't stop after this swing. He held a cross-shaped screwdriver in his right hand, pointed it at the opponent's stomach, and stabbed it.

The inertia was too great, and he didn't know where to hit the opponent. After the attack was successful, Lu Ye retreated decisively.

He held the screwdriver in his right hand, always on guard.

This set of actions was extremely coherent, from taking action to retreating, it didn't take more than two seconds.

The smoothness of Lu Ye's movements was entirely due to his prison life in his previous life.

When they first entered, the new prisoners were bullied by the old prisoners, and Lu Ye was no exception and was often beaten.

Lu Ye is different from other prisoners. He is an economic criminal. His crimes include embezzlement of public funds, bribery, and tax evasion.

Belongs to the kind of fat sheep in the eyes of others.

In the prison circle, those who have been around outside are usually awesome, pretending to be gangsters, and bullying people. In fact, after leaving prison, they may not be as good as beggars, but in this special place 'inside'

place, they sometimes live better.

These so-called big brothers often train Lu Ye, just to squeeze some money out of Lu Ye, but Lu Ye is also a scapegoat. People outside wish him to die early, so they will give him money.

In repeated drills, Lu Ye broke out. No matter how many people there were on the other side, or whether the opponent would kill him or not, Lu Ye began to resist vigorously, and in the actual combat again and again, he developed his courage and skill.

The most brutal time was when Lu Ye broke off his toothbrush head and used it directly as a weapon, stabbing him wildly and injuring many people.

And this also laid the foundation for his subsequent death.

The man hit Lu Ye with a screwdriver firmly and squatted down with his hands on his stomach.

He didn't yell, he just hummed.

Lu Ye saw this man squatting on the ground, holding his mother's back with his left hand and pushing him uphill.

Song Shufen was so frightened that she didn't even see Lu Ye's movements clearly because it was so dark. All she could think about was the cold knife.

After being pushed by Lu Ye, Song Shufen staggered uphill, her legs so weak that she almost fell.

Fortunately, Lu Ye held her arm.

Lu Ye supported his mother and walked uphill, while looking back at the man.

Just now, I stabbed the opponent in the stomach. No one knows the exact extent of the injury.

If this person is not seriously injured, it will be difficult to deal with him if he tries to pull him up again. After all, that person is holding a knife.

Lu Ye and his son walked out more than ten meters away. Lu Ye saw the man stooped and stood up. Instead of walking up the slope, he walked slowly downhill.

The screwdriver that stabbed someone was still in Lu Ye's hand, and the cloth bag was intact. Lu Ye felt a lot more at ease.

Song Shufen was half pushed and half pulled by Lu Ye for more than ten meters. Before she could recover, her legs were weak and she fell to the ground.

"It's okay, Mom, don't be afraid, I'll carry you home."

Lu Ye put the screwdriver in his pocket, whispered to comfort Song Shufen, and grabbed his mother's arm with his right hand and pulled it up.

Crouching in front of Song Shufen, she picked up her mother and walked home.

At this time, Lu Ye's brain was clear, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and his body seemed not to feel tired.

Carrying more than 120 pounds, my mother walked uphill for more than ten minutes, but I didn't feel tired at all.

Back home, Lu Hao saw Lu Ye carrying his mother through the door and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Seeing his mother's dejected look, Lu Hao was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Dad, come out quickly, Mom seems to be injured."

"Don't yell! What are you yelling? Go back to the house!"

When Lu Ye heard Lu Hao's cry, he kicked Lu Hao. He didn't want this matter to spread.

When Lu Aiguo heard Lu Hao's shouting, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, jumped off the kang and ran out barefoot.

At this time, Lu Ye carried his mother on his back and entered the east room, with Lu Hao supporting him from behind.

"What happened? What is this?"

Lu Aiguo was also anxious.

Helping Lu Ye put Song Shufen on the kang, Lu Aiguo supported his wife, looked at Lu Ye and asked.

"Keep your voice down, we encountered a robbery. My mother was frightened and not injured."

Lu Ye's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Lu Aiguo and Lu Hao to hear clearly.

Lu Ye put the cloth bag in his hand on the kang. There was a light in the room and he could see clearly. The cloth bag was of good quality and had no leaks.

Lu Ye kept holding the mouth of the cloth pocket with his left hand, but nothing inside was dropped.

Putting down his cloth pocket, Lu Ye took out the cross-shaped screwdriver from his trouser pocket.

Under the light, there was still blood on the screwdriver handle.

Not only Lu Ye could see it clearly, but Lu Aiguo and Lu Hao could also see it clearly.

"Why is there blood on this?" Lu Hao asked.

Lu Aiguo noticed the bloodstains at the meeting and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I used it to stab the robber."

Lu Ye said in a calm tone, as if what he stabbed was not a human but a chicken.

When Lu Aiguo and Lu Hao heard what Lu Ye said, they both stood stunned on the spot.
