Chapter 62 Bai Jiu's Unpleasant Romantic Encounters

According to Bai Chang and the others, they saw a young woman struggling to paddle forward in a rubber boat, while several men were chasing after her in a speedboat.

Bai Shuang's face turned cold. "And then? You saved her?"

Bai Jiu was still a little nervous. "No, we wouldn't rescue someone without knowing the situation."

Hearing him say that, Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief; at least he had some sense.

Bai Jiu and his group were in a hurry to get back; they still had gold bars on their motorboat and didn't want to get involved in other people's business.

Unexpectedly, the woman approached, and at that moment, Bai Jiu was steering the boat, while Bai Chang pointed a submachine gun at her.

Upon seeing the gun, she seemed somewhat timid and dared not approach, but when the man behind her shouted, she jumped over and grabbed Bai Jiu's clothes.

Bai Jiu was a martial artist with great strength; he pushed the woman into the water with one hand.

But after all that commotion, Bai Jiu and his group's motorboat also came to a stop.

At this moment, the men who had been chasing them caught up.

They claimed to be the woman's family members, that they witnessed Bai Jiu molesting her, and demanded that he take responsibility.

They offered either 100 jin of grain or the woman as a marriage proposal.

Although Bai Jiu and Bai Chang were wearing old clothes when they went out, their attire and demeanor, combined with their physiques honed through years of martial arts training and the guns they carried, made it clear that they were capable people who were not short of food, given the natural disaster.

Let that woman get close to you first, then you won't have to worry about not getting any benefits later.

Bai Shuang: "And then? How did you escape?"

Bai Chang: "Later, we started the motorboat and drove back."

They caught up with me, and I fired a shot into the air.

We didn't dare chase after them anymore, but we still followed them from a distance. We ignored them and came back.

Bai Shuang stared at Bai Jiu, "Just tell me the truth when you get back, what's the rush?"

Hearing Bai Shuang say this, Bai Jiu felt relieved. As long as his young lady didn't blame him for causing trouble, he wasn't afraid of anything else.

Bai Shuang: "Alright, go wash up and come eat."

Bai Shuang brought out his favorite dishes: pickled fish, turtle soup, crispy chicken, stir-fried lettuce with shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried romaine lettuce, and stir-fried chicken cartilage with green peppers.

The snow leopard is injured and cannot eat fish for the time being, so today we're feeding it chicken with rice and a bowl of beef soup.

Bai Jiu: "Miss, did you bring so much good food today?"

Bai Chang joked: "I'll give you some brain-boosting nutrition."

Bai Shuang: "This is to calm your nerves."

Bai Jiu said to Bai Chang, "I'd rather give you a brain-boosting treatment. If I had been the one holding the gun today, I would have fired when she pounced on me."

Bai Shuang nodded, "That's the right way to do it."

When you go out in the future, remember one thing: whether it's the elderly or children, women or kids, don't let any strangers get close to you.

What if she had been holding a weapon and had stabbed someone instead of grabbing their clothes?

Bai Chang: "Bai Jiu is right. I was too soft-hearted; I couldn't bring myself to shoot the weak."

Bai Shuang said seriously, "They take advantage of this kind of mentality in order to let women get close to you."

Bai Chang: "I understand."

I have a feeling they'll come back.

Bai Shuang: "Bai Jiu, have you fallen for that young woman?"

Upon hearing Bai Shuang's question, Bai Chang also looked over with great interest.

Bai Jiu asked in surprise, "My lady, what kind of person do you take me for? What kind of trash could you possibly be interested in?"

Seeing him get flustered, Bai Shuang smiled and nodded. This was the true pride of the Bai family's guards. She was relieved now; as long as he didn't fall in love easily, he would be easy to deal with.

After the meal, Bai Jiu and the others washed the dishes and cleaned up. Bai Shuang checked the snow leopard's wounds and, finding nothing abnormal, disinfected them again.

Bai Jiu: "Miss, are there any more spy movies?"

Bai Shuang handed him a new tablet. "Have you finished watching the one you got last time?"

"Spend more time studying and practicing your skills instead of just watching dramas."

"Okay, we just watched it because we were tired."

In the afternoon, Bai Shuang washed cherry tomatoes, cherries, and green grapes, mixed them together in a large plate, placed it on the table, picked up a medical book to read, and occasionally popped a grape into her mouth.

The snow leopard lay in its den at White Frost's feet, occasionally asking for a piece of fruit. Since it was injured, it has become particularly clingy to White Frost, and will fuss if she moves even a little distance away.

That night, Bai Shuang took the snow leopard to the space. During the long period of natural disaster, Bai Shuang had accumulated about 10 days of space time.

Since the snow leopard had difficulty walking, Bai Shuang brought a little deer named Diandian to keep it company. This little deer was very intelligent and usually played well with the snow leopard.

Tonight, a batch of medicinal herbs will ripen, and Bai Shuang will go to harvest them.

Use a wheat harvester to cut the medicinal herbs, and then use your senses to collect them under the shade of a shed to dry.

Then pick some ripe fruit and store them in the warehouse using your consciousness.

After taking a shower in the space, I brought the snow leopard out and went to bed.

The next day, Bai Shuang checked the snow leopard's wound again. It had passed the critical period, was unlikely to get infected, and had begun to heal. She disinfected and applied medicine again.

The snow leopard is also very obedient. It won't lick its wounds or move around easily. At the same time, it is also very strong. When changing dressings or disinfecting, it will endure the pain without making a sound.

Starting this morning, it no longer needs Bai Shuang's help with eating, drinking, or going to the toilet. It uses its three legs to hop around and take care of these things on its own.

But Bai Shuang still tried to keep it from moving too much, because bullets could damage bones.

After breakfast, the man and his dog were getting ready to study when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Bai Shuang suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, became alert, opened the door, and went downstairs.

I saw three or four women, with a young woman in red standing in the middle, on the rubber boat.

Is this part of the wedding procession?

They wanted to get into the third-floor window, but the residents of Building C wouldn't let strangers in. Several men blocked the window.

Bai Shuang admired them quite a bit; they found the building in such a short time.

Moreover, their accomplices must be nearby. With things so chaotic outside, it's impossible for them to let a few women come here alone.

The person behind this is cunning. They know Bai Jiu and his gang are powerful. If any men come with weapons, Bai Jiu and his gang can justifiably "shoot them up".

You could find a few unarmed women to escort the bride over; with everyone watching, it would be quite a challenge.

Bai Shuang went to Aunt Wang on the 12th floor and told her the general story of what had happened to Bai Jiu and the others the day before.

"Oh dear, this child is still young, and things are chaotic outside right now."

Let me tell you, last time someone from our building went out to look for something, they saw a pitiful child nearby and wanted to give him some food, but guess what happened?

I was almost stabbed, luckily I dodged quickly, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. It was a trap set by the adults…

Aunt Wang wanted to continue her story, but Bai Shuang stopped her, saying she had important business to attend to.

"Find a few sharp-tongued guys to help me deal with them. Don't worry, I'll be watching from the window and won't let you get hurt."

Aunt Wang: "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Aunt Wang had dealt with her many times and knew that Bai Shuang was always generous. Since she finally had a job to do, she was naturally eager to accept.

Aunt Wang quickly gathered several older women and they went to the window to argue...
