Chapter 256 Ending
Bang Geng and Li Yuanchao's group came to the West Sea of Shichahai again. It was near the end of the year, the cold wind was howling, and the lead-gray sky was very low, as if it would collapse at any time. The biting north wind rolled up the fine snow particles, scraping the faces of the two groups of young people like a knife. The surface of Shichahai Lake had long been frozen, and the ice layer was shining with a cold bluish-white light. There were several black cracks on the edges, like frozen wounds. Under the ice layer, undercurrents surged, occasionally making a muffled "click" sound, and the dry willow branches on the shore whipped in the wind, making a crisp "crackling" sound, like some kind of ominous countdown.
Bang Geng stood on the ice, his breath forming a layer of frost on his eyebrows. Behind him stood a dozen boys from the work-study school, all with fierce eyes, holding triangular scrapers, iron chains and sharpened steel bars in their hands. Li Yuanchao on the opposite side was also busy. The young men in the military compound were all wearing military green cotton jackets, and many of them held the spoils of war left by their fathers - Japanese swords, American daggers, and even a cavalry command knife that flashed with cold light.
The two groups of people were facing each other more than ten meters apart. No one spoke, only the heavy breathing sounds intertwined in the cold air. Months of fighting had already fermented the hatred between them into an endless resentment, and words were redundant.
Li Yuanchao slowly raised his hand, pointed his saber at the stem of the stick, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Today, we have to end this."
Bang Geng grinned, revealing his white teeth: "That's exactly what I want."
The next second, Li Yuanchao waved his hand violently and shouted, "Do it!" The voice cut through the stagnant air like a knife.
The two groups collided instantly, with the sound of metal colliding, angry curses, and screams. Bang Geng rushed forward, and the triangular scraper went straight to Li Yuanchao's abdomen. Li Yuanchao stepped aside and slashed with the saber. The blade grazed Bang Geng's cheek, leaving a line of blood. Bang Geng did not retreat but advanced, kicking Li Yuanchao on the knee, and while he staggered, the scraper stabbed into his shoulder.
"Ah——!" Li Yuanchao roared in pain and slashed Banggeng's arm with his backhand. Blood immediately splattered on the ice like blooming red plum blossoms.
"Fuck you!" Bang Geng gritted his teeth and held back, stabbing Li Yuanchao's thigh with a scraper. Li Yuanchao groaned, and pressed the saber down suddenly, the back of the saber hit Bang Geng's wrist hard, and the scraper fell on the ice with a clang.
The surroundings were in chaos, with the sounds of iron colliding and bones breaking. Liu Chong was pinned to the ice by a young man from a military compound, with an iron chain around his neck, his face purple; Wu Dacheng was waving a steel bar like crazy, smashing an opponent's teeth, but the next second his thigh was cut by a military knife, and he staggered to his knees on the ice.
Bang Geng and Li Yuanchao rolled together, the ice surface "crackling" as they scuffled, as if it would break at any time. Bang Geng's scraper had fallen off, and he tightly grasped Li Yuanchao's neck, digging his nails into the flesh. Li Yuanchao's eyes were bloodshot, and his saber slipped out of his hand, but he pulled out a short dagger from his boot and stabbed it into Bang Geng's side.
"Pfft!"
Bang Geng groaned, and the severe pain made him loosen the strength in his hand for a moment. Li Yuanchao took the opportunity to turn over and hold him down, holding the dagger high -
"boom!"
A deafening gunshot rang out and everyone froze instantly.
Li Yuanchao stood there with a pale face, holding the bloody dagger in his hand. He was quickly surrounded by boundless fear. Bang Geng covered the bleeding wound on his abdomen and staggered back. The blood spread across the pale ice surface in a dazzling red, and every step back left a bloody footprint.
"Don't move!" Flashlights suddenly lit up from all directions, and the ice was surrounded by police officers. Director Wang raised his loudspeaker and shouted: "Put down the weapon!"
Li Yuanchao's hand trembled, and the dagger "clanged" onto the ice. Bang Geng took the opportunity to run, but heard an ominous "crackling" sound from the ice under his feet. He froze in place, and the severe pain in his abdomen made his vision blurry.
"Help...Help me..." Bang Geng suddenly knelt down on the ice. Bang Geng's eyes went dark, and he vaguely saw Liu Chong and his men running away like frightened mice, but they were pinned down in the snow one by one by the ambushed policemen on the river bank. He tried to get up, but fell headfirst onto the ice, his cheek pressed against the biting ice, and saw Li Yuanchao in the distance also being pinned to the ground by three policemen with his hands handcuffed behind his back.
"Hurry! Ambulance!" Chief Wang's voice came and went. Bang Geng felt someone flip him over and cold metal clasped his wrist.
"Mom..." he murmured unconsciously, and suddenly remembered Qin Huairu's red eyes when she grabbed his arm tightly and said "Don't go" when he went out this morning.
With the sirens of the ambulance blaring, Banggeng was carried onto a stretcher. In a trance, he saw Zhao Hongcheng squatting beside Li Yuanchao, saying something and patting him on the shoulder.
"The patient has a penetrating wound in the abdomen! The blood pressure continues to drop!" Amid the urgent shouting of the medical staff, Bang Geng felt that his life was being lost along with the blood. He suddenly remembered the rag bag hidden under the bed - there should be more than a hundred yuan left in it...
Snowflakes began to fall, and Banggeng's vision gradually blurred. In his last consciousness, he heard the doctor say: "The patient's spleen has been ruptured and he is losing a lot of blood. Hurry and send him to the operating room..."
Li Yuanchao's father, Li Zhenhua, was in a meeting at the military district when he suddenly received a note hastily handed over by his secretary. He frowned, unfolded it, and his face instantly turned livid.
"Commander, what's wrong?" the staff officer next to him asked in a low voice.
Li Zhenhua suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "There is something urgent at home, please attend the meeting in my place." After that, he strode out of the meeting room, his leather shoes making a hasty sound on the marble floor.
In the jeep, Li Zhenhua's temples were throbbing as he listened to the guard's report.
&34；混账东西！&34；他一拳砸在车门上，&34；说了多少次让他收敛点！&34；但随即又紧张地问：&34；那个受伤的孩子...现在怎么样了？&34；
&34;He is being treated at the People's Hospital. I heard that his spleen was injured...&34;
"Go to the police station! No, go to the hospital first!" Li Zhenhua suddenly changed his mind and said, "Let Dean Wang personally arrange the best surgeon!"
Outside the operating room of the People's Hospital, Qin Huairu slumped on a bench with her hands clenched tightly.
Suddenly, there were orderly footsteps in the corridor. Qin Huairu looked up and saw several soldiers surrounding a senior officer with gray hair walking quickly. She subconsciously shrank back.
"This is the family member of the injured, right?" Li Zhenhua took off his military cap and squatted in front of Qin Huairu. "Comrade, don't worry. I have already transferred a surgical expert from the military region's general hospital here..."
Qin Huairu stared blankly at this man with high aura, and suddenly grabbed his sleeve like crazy: "If anything happens to my son...I will not let your family go even if I become a ghost!"
The guard next to him was about to step forward, but Li Zhenhua raised his hand to stop him. He let the hysterical mother tear off his military uniform, and said in a low and firm voice: "I promise you on my honor as a soldier that I will definitely save your son."
The lights in the operating room suddenly went out. The surgeon came out and was visibly startled when he saw Li Zhenhua: "Sir..."
"How's the child?" Li Zhenhua and Qin Huairu stood up at the same time.
"The spleen was ruptured and has been removed, and the liver is also damaged..." The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and glanced at Li Zhenhua and Qin Huairu, "But your life is saved, so you should rest well."
