Chapter 102 Old Friends Gathering
It is reasonable that Su Ran and the others should say thank you to Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman had everything they had, so she could only present them with the fan she had repaired and modified as a thank you gift.
Su Ran said, "I heard that the Green Wolf Gang brought guns when they robbed the Chenyang Community, and seven or eight members of the security team were killed."
"Have the security teams been dispatched?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Su Ran nodded, "Yes, someone nearby heard the gunshots and notified the security team. Fortunately, the security team arrived in time, otherwise Chenyang Community would have become a deserted community."
The Green Wolf Gang is cruel. Not only do they rob people of their supplies, they also torture and kill for fun, torturing people to death.
After the Green Wolf Gang was arrested, some people saw the body collection team carrying the bodies. It took them two nights to carry away all the bodies in the Chenyang community. One can imagine how many people the Green Wolf Gang killed.
Zhou Qiuyang interrupted and said, "After this incident, Sister Yu'e has been forcing the coach to marry her. She may be afraid that if something like this happens, no one will be able to protect her."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "The security over there should be okay! Sister Yu'e, there's no need to worry about this."
Zhou Qiuyang nodded. "The security is okay because it is close to an indoor planting area and there are two security teams patrolling nearby. But Sister Yu'e always said that someone sneaked close to our house. Su Ran and I didn't see anything. Maybe Sister Yu'e saw it wrong."
Suddenly he remembered something and said, "Xiao Man, are you free the day after tomorrow? Sister Yu'e said we should have a meal together to celebrate her marriage to the coach."
Xia Xiaoman didn't want to go all the way just to have a meal. "It might not be convenient for me the day after tomorrow..."
"That's such a pity. I was planning to make a crossbow the day after tomorrow and give it to you when you come the day after tomorrow." Su Ran felt a little disappointed.
Xia Xiaoman blinked, "What did you just say? Crossbow?"
Su Ran nodded, "Yes! Last month, Sister Yu'e got a crossbow blueprint from somewhere. Brother Yang and I studied it and found it was not too difficult, so we tried to find a way to get the materials to make a crossbow."
"The crossbow was made the day before yesterday, but there are still some minor issues that need to be dealt with, so I didn't bring it here today." He had already thought about it and planned to give the crossbow to Xia Xiaoman during the dinner party the day after tomorrow.
There was food to eat and bows and crossbows to collect. Xia Xiaoman immediately changed his words, "What I meant is that it's not convenient for me the day after tomorrow, so I might be a little late..."
Su Ran's eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter if you arrive late, as long as you can come."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Okay then! I'll go there around 12 o'clock the day after tomorrow."
It was still early, so the three chatted about other things and talked about their recent situations.
What Zhou Qiuyang talked about most was the indoor planting area.
After two months, indoor planting has officially started and is now in the seedling stage. It mainly grows drought-resistant and heat-resistant high-yield crops, such as sorghum, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
Green vegetables are also grown, but on a small scale. Zhou Qiuyang guessed that these vegetables were probably provided to the troops or high-level officials, and it was not the turn of ordinary people to buy them.
"There is one more thing that may interest you." Zhou Qiuyang looked at Xia Xiaoman, "In the indoor planting area, a small number of people will be assigned to cut locusts."
"Picking locusts? Are there still locusts to pick up now?" Xia Xiaoman wondered.
"It's not picking up things, it's cutting with scissors." Zhou Qiuyang explained: "The person who cuts the locusts needs to cut off the heads and internal organs of the locusts, and then dry the cut locust heads and internal organs and grind them into powder for use as fertilizer."
"What about the remaining locust limbs? Aren't they going to be eaten?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Zhou Qiuyang pursed his lips and said, "I haven't heard that the higher-ups are going to use locusts as food, but I guess they are."
The poisonous parts of locusts are the head and internal organs. Cut off the poisonous parts and the remaining non-toxic parts. It is impossible to feed them to chickens and ducks, right?
Xia Xiaoman patted his shoulder with a heavy face, "Earn supplies well, otherwise you may end up eating locusts in the future."
Zhou Qiuyang: “…”
He is not that poor.
…
After staying at Xia Xiaoman's house for nearly three hours, Su Ran and Zhou Qiuyang got up to say goodbye.
Life returned to normal, and Xia Xiaoman continued to stay at home. But I don't know which bastard spread the news that she was as strong as an ox.
Without internet and electricity, even the smallest thing would attract a lot of attention.
The next day when she opened the door to rent electricity, the door was full of people. There were five or six muscular men and three muscular girls who wanted to compete with her in arm wrestling to see who was stronger.
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes and was about to refuse such a boring thing, but suddenly she thought that these people might be able to give her some practice.
Ye Xiaojie once said that no matter how many times you practice, it is not as good as practicing seriously once.
So… in less than a day, the rumor that Xia Xiaoman liked to use dirty tricks in martial arts competitions spread throughout the community.
This cannot be blamed on her. Ye Xiaojie originally taught her life-saving tricks. Considering her height, gender and the fact that she was a beginner, most of the tricks she taught were easy to learn.
These moves have been practiced for a long time and have become muscle memory, so when fighting, she subconsciously attacks the lower three routes...
The good thing about this martial arts competition was that no one came to challenge her to a duel of strength anymore, but the bad thing was that her reputation was completely ruined. When queuing up to fetch water, the men standing near her subconsciously covered their crotches.
Before leaving, Xia Xiaoman set up traps all over her house to ensure that others could not easily steal her solar energy before she left on her bicycle.
When we arrived at the villa where Li Yu'e and her family lived, it was exactly one o'clock in the morning.
The villa was completely different from the last time she came. The damaged gate had been repaired, the dried blood on the ground had been cleaned up, and the traces of fire on the roof had disappeared.
Li Yu'e saw her come in and took her arm enthusiastically, "Oh, Xiaoman, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you all night."
"Come, let's go to the second floor. We'll have dinner on the balcony today. It's not so hot there."
Xia Xiaoman curled the corners of her lips and smiled, then followed Li Yu'e to the second-floor balcony.
The food was ready, waiting for her to sit down. When the twins saw her coming up, they immediately ran over and surrounded her, excitedly calling her "Sister Xiaoman".
Xia Xiaoman took out a bottle of red wine and a dozen cans of Coke from her bag. "I brought a bottle of wine and some drinks. It's rare for us to get together, let's have a drink!"
Li Yu'e said that she was wasting supplies, but she didn't slow down at all when pouring the wine.
A glass of wine was poured for each person, and a can of drink was placed in front of the two children. As the protagonist of this dinner, Li Yu'e was about to say a few words of opening remarks when suddenly there was a burst of fierce dog barking outside...
