Water Cliff Village, one of the poorest areas in Huating County, originally had a reservoir that could increase the local community's income. However, shortly after its construction, it was contracted by an outsider.
About a decade later, due to local water quality issues, aquaculture could no longer continue, and the reservoir was contracted again by someone else who intended to develop it into a farmstay.
However, that idea quickly fell through. Until now, the reservoir has ended up in the hands of Big Head, becoming his "private forbidden zone." Generally, if outsiders want to visit the reservoir and are discovered by Big Head's men, a beating is inevitable.
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Big Head stared intently at the fishing line on the water's surface. Just as the boat reached the area Bing Tianyi had mentioned earlier, there was movement on the water again after a few minutes.
At this moment, Big Head became noticeably more serious, quietly observing the activity on the water. After a moment, he began to reel in quickly.
As a large fish broke the surface of the water, a satisfied smile appeared on Big Head's face.
Only after bringing the fish out of the water did Big Head put down his fishing rod and casually pull out a cigarette from beside him. After lighting it, he glanced at Bing Tianyi and quietly asked, "Did you shoot that goat yesterday?"
"Yes," Bing Tianyi replied without hesitation.
Big Head nodded with a smile and stood up, waving to a man nearby. "Xiao Wang, come here."
It was only then that Bing Tianyi realized this man calling him was named Xiao Wang. He watched as Xiao Wang approached Big Head and respectfully asked, "Brother, what's up?"
"Throw this woman into the water," Big Head said calmly.
Bing Tianyi, standing nearby, heard this clearly and couldn't help but look at the girl beside him.
The girl appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old and seemed to have just graduated from college. Her appearance was undoubtedly striking; after all, most of today's beauties had been taken by others.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wang asked in surprise, "Big Brother, why is this happening?"
"Are you going to do it or not?" Big Head asked Xiao Wang with a clear tone.
At that moment, Xiao Wang frowned, glanced at the girl beside him, gritted his teeth, and walked straight towards her.
Seeing the situation, the girl hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried out to Big Head, "Big Brother, why are you doing this? Why do you want to kill me?"
Upon hearing this, Big Head turned around and sat back down in his chair. He looked directly at the girl and said, "Don't you know what you've done? Do I need to spell it out for you?"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Wang's expression changed drastically. However, he was also quite shrewd, standing on the boat and watching the situation unfold.
The girl turned pale upon hearing his words. She glanced at Xiao Wang beside her and then turned back to Big Head, saying, "Big Brother, I didn't do anything. This whole thing is all because..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Wang could no longer hold back and suddenly knelt down on the ground. He looked at Big Head and said earnestly, "Big Brother, I was wrong. I also have a responsibility in this matter. Please don't kill her. I'm begging you."
"Today, only one of you two can live. Hehe, you two can discuss it among yourselves," Big Head said directly to the two of them.
Xiao Wang raised his head, furrowing his brow. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke up, "Big Brother, have you forgotten what I've done for you? Are you really planning to kill the donkey after unloading the cart?"
"Or do you understand my thoughts? Today on this boat, it's just us few people. To be honest, I really don't want any of you three to live. But since I'm in a good mood today, how about this: you three discuss it among yourselves; two will die and one will live. That should be acceptable, right?" Big Head maintained his previous expression as he spoke directly to Xiao Wang.
At this moment, Xiao Wang realized that he might not see tomorrow's sun again. However, he absolutely could not bring himself to kill the woman he loved beside him.
After thinking it over, Xiao Wang ultimately decided to take a gamble.
"Brother, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" Xiao Wang said as he stood up and lunged towards Big Head, intending to throw him into the water first.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Xiao Wang had hoped. Just as he was about to reach Big Head, a dull yet powerful gunshot suddenly echoed from the center of the tranquil reservoir.
At that moment, Xiao Wang fell to his knees in front of Big Head. Blood flowed continuously from his left knee, spreading across the deck.
Bing Tianyi, witnessing this scene, could hardly believe his eyes. The big brother of this county actually carried a firearm, and it was a genuine Type 92.
Big Head slowly stood up with a smile on his face and approached Xiao Wang, lowering his gun to Xiao Wang's head and whispering, "I just can't understand it, brother. Why play with someone else's woman when there are so many others? How does it feel? Is it really that enjoyable?"
"Brother, I was wrong, I truly was!" Xiao Wang cried out in pain, pleading with Big Head.
There was no trace of pity in Big Head's eyes as he looked at Xiao Wang and fired again. The bullet struck Xiao Wang's right leg squarely. He collapsed to the ground, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead as he screamed loudly.
Nearby, a young girl had been rendered speechless with fear; she knelt at the bow of the boat, trembling all over.
At that moment, Big Head approached the girl with his gun and coldly asked, "Xia, do you want to live?"
Xia stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Big Head. After several seconds, she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I want to!"
"Stand up," Big Head said with a smile.
Xia trembled as she struggled to lift herself up. Just as she got to her feet, Big Head bluntly commanded, "Strip. Take it all off!"
Xia was already wearing very little clothing. Upon hearing Big Head's words and desperate to survive, she disregarded her shame and quickly removed her clothes.
Seeing Xia take off the last piece of clothing, if it were any other time, Bing Tianyi would have been unable to contain his restless desires. But today, when he looked at Xia's body, it was like seeing a peeled apple displayed at the bow of the boat.
At that moment, Big Head slowly approached Xia, pressing his gun against her chest with a shameless grin on his face. He then turned to look at the small Wang lying in a pool of blood and asked, "So, what do you think? Is this body beautiful or not?"
Wang was in unbearable pain and shouted angrily at Big Head: "You bastard, if you have the guts, shoot me dead right now."
"Wow, even at death's door, you still dare to talk tough. But don't worry, I'll let you see me play with your beloved one before you die," Big Head said as he began to remove his clothes.
However, Big Head made the biggest mistake of his life by underestimating Bing Tianyi. He thought Bing Tianyi was just a kid and that with a gun in hand, it would be easy to show him how to kill someone. In this situation, he assumed Bing Tianyi was just as scared as Xia.
But just as Big Head bent down to take off his pants, Bing Tianyi suddenly quickened his pace and rushed forward, pushing Big Head off the bow and into the water.
Without thinking further, Bing Tianyi quickly grabbed the oars and paddled the small boat toward the shore.
At first, Big Head was confused after falling into the water. He didn't understand what had happened and struggled while watching the small boat drift further away from him.
It was already autumn, and being late in the afternoon, the water in the reservoir was exceptionally cold.
When he fell into the water, Big Head accidentally dropped his gun as well, losing his means to threaten Bing Tianyi.
By the time he realized what was happening, the small boat was already thirty or forty meters away from him.
Seeing Big Head swimming toward him in the water, Bing Tianyi paddled harder while shouting loudly to Xia, who was still standing at the bow: "Hurry up and put on your clothes and come help!"
At that moment, Xia finally reacted, hurriedly picking up the clothes on the boat and putting them on haphazardly before coming to Bing Tianyi's side to help row the boat toward the shore.
Xiao Wang also didn't expect the situation to take such a turn. Lying in a pool of blood, his face pale, he whispered to Bing Tianyi, "I have a phone in my pocket. Don't go to the shore yet; call the police quickly."
Seeing Xiao Wang say this, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "Why not go to the shore? You're in this condition; if you don't get to the hospital in time, it could be serious due to blood loss."
Xiao Wang knew this all too well, but he was even more aware that the shore was full of Big Head's men. If they escaped to the shore now, when Big Head came ashore, he would only need to wave his hand for his men to kill them.
After Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Xiao Wang helplessly said, "Trust me, call the police immediately!"
Just as Xiao Wang said this, they suddenly heard Big Head's desperate voice shouting from not far away in the reservoir, "Help! Save me!"
It turned out that after jumping into the water to chase the boat, Big Head had overexerted himself. The water in the reservoir was extremely cold, and within seconds, his legs began to cramp.
In deep water with leg cramps and no one to rescue him, he was undoubtedly doomed.
Bing Tianyi stood up and looked at Big Head struggling in the water from a distance. After sighing, he said directly to Xia, "Quickly help me row over to save him."
Upon hearing Bing Tianyi say this, Xia's face filled with fear as she quickly waved her hands and shouted, "I'm not going! I won't go save that bastard even if you beat me!"
"If you don't save him, then I'll be a murderer!" Bing Tianyi shouted at Xia with a pained expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wang chuckled softly from where he lay at the bow of the boat and said, "Don't worry; this time you're not a murderer; you're a good Samaritan."
