In the 1970s in China, taking a bath was not convenient. People only took a bath every day in the summer. It was common not to take a bath for a week in the winter. In rural areas, it was not uncommon not to take a bath for a month. Wang Xiuhua took a bath 365 days a year. She was obviously a Japanese devil!
Ruan Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. The truth was finally revealed. Wang Xiuhua was the eel!
She asked Wutongshu to help her climb over the courtyard wall and meet Manzai outside. She planned to stay here and let Manzai take Mamajiang to contact Pei Yuan and ask someone to arrest Wang Xiuhua.
Ruan Qiqi had just finished giving instructions to Manzai and was about to find a place to hide when her heart suddenly felt like it was burned by fire. She subconsciously turned sideways and a flash of a knife passed by her cheek.
Damn, he almost got disfigured!
Ruan Qiqi threw up a few handfuls of quicklime. She had prepared a lot of it in the space. No matter how powerful Eel's knife skills were, his eyes could not block the attack of the lime.
"Baka!"
Wang Xiuhua was wearing pajamas and slippers, her hair was wet, and there was lime in her eyes. She was in so much pain that she cursed and swung her samurai sword in a disorderly manner. Ruan Qiqi took out a bone whip to fight back, but she was a wild fighter, and even if Wang Xiuhua couldn't see clearly, she was still no match for her.
Ruan Qiqi shouted at Manzai to leave, saying that she could hide in the space and would not be in danger.
As soon as she was distracted, Wang Xiuhua's knife chopped at her, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
"Don't beat him, bad guy!"
Manzai rushed over angrily, holding a brick in his hand, and hit Wang Xiuhua hard. He also pounced on Ruan Qiqi, trying to protect her.
The brick hit the samurai sword, and the tip of the sword deflected and stabbed Manzai's shoulder.
Before Wang Xiuhua could make a decisive move, Mamajiang pounced on her and bit her wrist. Her sharp teeth pierced through the flesh, biting deeply.
Wang Xiuhua, who was furious, quickly changed the knife to her left hand, wanting to kill Mamajiang with one blow, but a sharp bone whip came at her, and a blood mark immediately appeared on her face.
Ruan Qiqi, filled with anger, whipped Wang Xiuhua one after another, and the bone whip turned into a phantom, leaving no chance for Wang Xiuhua to breathe.
But Wang Xiuhua still escaped. She set off a smoke screen with thick smoke billowing. When the smoke cleared, she also disappeared.
"Manzai, are you okay?"
Ruan Qiqi checked Manzai's wound and breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a flesh wound, but the wound was still very deep and a lot of blood had been lost.
"It hurts... Qiqi, it hurts so much..."
Manzai's eyes were red and his face looked aggrieved.
"I'll give you milk tea. I promise you that I will catch the bad guy and chop her into pieces to avenge you!"
Ruan Qiqi gave him an extra-large cup of milk tea with a lot of ingredients in it, and promised to catch Wang Xiuhua!
She promised the two elders to take good care of Manzai, but she broke her promise. If she doesn't catch Wang Xiuhua, how can she face the two elders in the future?
"It doesn't hurt anymore, Qiqi, don't be sad!"
Manzai took a big sip of milk tea and tried hard to smile to comfort her.
"I'll give you some medicine."
Ruan Qiqi took out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from the space, poured out the safety pill and let Manzai swallow it, then sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound. After using a whole bottle of medicine, the bleeding slowly stopped, and then she wrapped the wound with gauze.
She also took out a large bag of beef jerky and gave it to Mamajiang as a reward. If Mamajiang hadn't bitten the eel and delayed a little time, she would probably have been injured as well.
Ma Ma Jiang was not so happy to see the dried meat. He looked at Man Zai worriedly, licked his hand from time to time, and put the dried meat in his hand, motioning Man Zai to eat it.
"Eat it, Mom."
Manzai wanted to reach out and touch it, but as soon as he raised his hand, he pulled the wound, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Don't move, let's go home!"
Ruan Qiqi cut down some branches, made a simple stretcher, and dragged Manzai away.
She didn't dare leave Manzai alone to make a phone call. The eel was secretive and had great skills. It might be a ninja from the Sakura Country. The ninja was best at hiding. If the eel was still hiding nearby, it might be bad for Manzai if she left.
Fortunately, there was a telephone booth at the end of the alley. Seeing that the aunt in the booth had locked the door, Ruan Qiqi called her and said she wanted to make a call.
"Didn't you see that you're off work? Call me again tomorrow!"
The auntie spoke in a bad tone, she was in a hurry to go home and sleep!
"My brother is sick, and his life is at stake!"
Ruan Qiqi explained patiently.
The aunt looked at the half-conscious Manzai and saw blood all over his body. She immediately became alert and turned and ran away.
"Why are you running? Come here!"
Ruan Qiqi became impatient, and swung the bone whip, which hooked the aunt's arm like a snake and pulled her back.
"Open the door!"
"Okay, okay, I'll open it, right now!"
The aunt was so frightened that her face turned pale, thinking that they were criminals who had just committed a crime. She was afraid that Ruan Qiqi would be unhappy and kill her.
Ruan Qiqi called Wutong West Point and found out that there was someone on duty that night.
The person who answered the phone was Ding Yi, a bachelor who lived in the Wutong West Point store.
"I want to eat a cake with lots of strawberry jam. I only want one piece. Please deliver it to ..."
Ruan Qiqi said the code word. A cake covered with strawberry jam meant that someone was injured, and just one piece meant one person was injured.
"Okay, it will be delivered right away, please wait where you are!"
Ding Yi said in a serious tone.
Ruan Qiqi hung up the phone and signaled to the aunt on the phone that she could close the door.
The aunt saw that she was a beautiful young girl and did not look like a criminal, so she was not so scared anymore and even asked bravely, "Sister, what happened to your brother?"
"A thief came to steal something and my brother was stabbed. The thief ran away. My brother wanted to eat strawberry cake, so I called him to buy him a piece!"
Ruan Qiqi gave a casual explanation.
"Oh my, sister, you are really something. If you want to order a cake at this time, you have to call the police. I will help you!"
The aunt on the phone was very enthusiastic and offered to call the police, but was held back by Ruan Qiqi.
"Thank you, Auntie. You can go home now!"
Ruan Qiqi spoke in a light tone and swung the bone whip. The aunt's heart sank, her arm ached slightly, and her back felt cold.
"I'm going home, hehe...I'm going home right now!"
The aunt laughed dryly a few times, swallowed hard, turned around and left. After a while, she disappeared.
Ding Yi and Xiao Cao arrived very quickly, and Xiao Cao was wrapped in a piece of dark blue curtain cloth with a pink cake box ribbon tied in the middle, which looked out of place.
Ding Yiben couldn't find anyone for a while at night, so he planned to come here by himself. He happened to meet Xiao Cao who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran into the store to steal cakes, so he dragged him over.
But before Xiao Cao came to the store, he went around naked without wearing anything, so Ding Yi had to pull down the curtains in the store, wrap him up, and then cut a pink ribbon to tie it tightly to prevent him from exposing himself.
Ding Yi checked Manzai's wound, and looked Ruan Qiqi up and down, then he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was just a minor injury and nothing serious.
"The eel was too alert. She attacked me by surprise. Manzai took the knife for me. Mamajiang was very brave and bit the eel's wrist. Otherwise, I would have been injured too."
Ruan Qiqi briefly recounted what had happened. Her tone and expression were very cold, completely different from her usual soft and cute appearance.
"Don't think too much, go back first!"
Ding Yi comforted her, saying that almost everyone in the bureau had heard of the eel's great reputation, and it was already amazing that Ruan Qiqi could find the eel.
He and Xiao Cao also went to Wang Xiuhua's residence. The cousin was still sleeping soundly and had no idea what was happening outside.
