Natural Disaster: Back to the End of the World

Part 48

After the Li family was kicked out, it took some time for Li Xinpeng to regain his senses from the shock of Lei Xiao's scare. He quickly asked Li Feng what had happened. Trembling and still shaken, Li Feng stammered through the story. Li Xinpeng, furious, slapped him on the back of the head.

"You little rascal! Why didn't you discuss things with me before doing something like this!"

Wan Xiaocui, fiercely protective of her children and grandchildren, immediately pulled Li Feng behind her. "Enough of hitting your son. He's grown up now, and you're still hitting him in front of the grandkids. It's not entirely his fault!"

"Pampering mother ruins the child!" Li Xinpeng scolded, knowing the situation was beyond repair. He grumbled in frustration and fell silent. The heavy rain had started, and they had no choice but to find a temporary place to stay.

They dared not return to Lei's house, especially with that unsettling object Lei Xiao carried; those people were certainly not to be trusted. It was fortunate they hadn't taken in those troublesome kids back then; otherwise, they would have been in trouble long ago.

In the end, they braved the heavy rain, knocking on door after door. Finally, one house agreed to let them stay in an empty warehouse on the other side of their yard, but it was a hundred bucks for the night, no negotiation.

Li Xinpeng had no choice but to accept. They needed a place to shelter from the rain, so he gritted his teeth and settled in.

When Lei Lang and the others returned home and saw their second brother, they looked hesitant and unsure, making Yao Ziqing puzzled. "What's going on with you guys? Did something not go well?"

Lei Lang shook his head. "No, we've already kicked them out. But Second Brother, why do you have that thing on you?"

Lei Xiao calmly replied, "Special forces often go on missions; it's normal to carry a gun."

Lei Zheng and Lu Xueyi both showed enlightened expressions, their eyes shining brightly as they turned their attention to Lei Xiao. Lei Zheng, gathering his courage, asked, "Lei Xiao, um, can I see it? I've only seen them on TV and never actually touched one."

Lei Xiao readily unloaded the magazine and handed it over. Lu Xueyi quickly came over to inspect it as well, even striking a few poses with the gun. He even wanted Lei Zheng to take some photos of him with it. Fortunately, Lei Li stopped him; otherwise, posting it online would have surely caused trouble.

That night, after the family had gone to bed, Yao Ziqing, lying on Lei Xiao's chest, asked with some concern, "Is it okay for them to know we have a gun? Third Brother won't say anything, but I'm worried about Lu Xueyi. I'm afraid he might brag about it or let something slip when we get back to the city."

Lei Xiao gently patted Si'er's back to reassure him. "Don't worry. Starting tomorrow, you, Big Brother, and Third Brother will come with me to the forest to practice shooting."

Yao Ziqing immediately jumped up from bed, surprised. He was eager to learn but concerned about the weather. He hesitated, "But with this heavy rain..."

"It's better with the rain. The sound of the rain will muffle the gunshots, and people in the village won't go into the forest during a downpour. Plus, shooting in heavy rain can improve accuracy."

With his keen eyesight and mental focus, accuracy was not an issue for him. Yao Ziqing, unable to sleep, began asking Lei Xiao about shooting tips and techniques. As he talked, his hands began to wander on Lei Xiao's body.

Lei Xiao observed silently. Since their intimate moments, Si'er had become more enthusiastic about these activities. Lei Xiao understood this was due to the vigor of youth, which brought about more frequent desires. He enjoyed it physically and mentally, gaining energy from Si'er.
