Chapter 201 Little Wolf Cub
Less than half a month after the new recruits had been trained, they were arranged to go to the capital with the veterans to explore the way. Unfortunately, Wang Shijin was selected to go to the capital.
Not long after Wang Shijin left, Sun Qing brought a large army to Fucheng to exchange rabbit skins.
When she heard that Wang Shijin was heading north to the capital, she expressed deep regret, "I was thinking of coming here to ask him how he raised steel-toothed rabbits. The steel-toothed rabbits I brought back all died not long after being raised." As she spoke, she put the cardboard box she brought in on the table.
Seeing the cardboard box moving, Xia Xiaoman said, "Don't tell me you put the steel-toothed rabbit in it."
If Sun Qing dared to nod, she would immediately throw her out with the box. She built a three-meter-high wall just to prevent the steel-toothed rabbit from coming in.
Sun Qing looked at her speechlessly, "How is it possible? Such a thin cardboard box, how can it contain the steel-toothed rabbit? This is my little treasure I brought for you, open it and see for yourself."
"What little treasure?" Xia Xiaoman opened the box with some curiosity.
The box was opened, and inside was a ball of fur. Xia Xiaoman stared at the fur for a while, and asked in confusion: "Where did you get this puppy? It looks like it's not even a month old!"
Sun Qing said disdainfully: "What a bastard, take a closer look at what this is."
Xia Xiaoman grabbed the furry dog by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up and took a closer look. "Isn't this a greyhound?" Suddenly, she thought of something and asked in disbelief, "Could it be... a wolf?"
Sun Qing chuckled twice, "You have quite a good eye. This little wolf was born by the female wolf that our team brought back from the north to exchange for snowmobiles. There were only two of them in total, and I picked out a healthier one to give to you. See how I treat you well!"
Xia Xiaoman looked at the listless wolf cub in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this is the healthier one?"
Sun Qing touched her nose awkwardly. "Maybe it didn't get enough rest after the long journey, so this little wolf looks so listless. It will be fine after a couple of days of rest."
Xia Xiaoman put the wolf cub back into the cardboard box and asked, "Why did you give me a wolf?"
Sun Qing smiled and said, "I saw that you were too bored living at home alone, so I sent a wolf to relieve your boredom."
"Do you think I'm someone who would keep a pet?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
"Other pets may just be pets, but this wolf is different. If you train it well, it can handle two or three adults. It can become your most loyal bodyguard. You will never suffer any loss if you keep it."
Seeing Sun Qing praising the little wolf cub so much, Xia Xiaoman said, "Tell me! What is your purpose in sending this wolf here? Don't say you sent it here to entertain me. You won't believe it even if you hear it yourself."
It is true that she and Sun Qing have a good relationship, but that is based on the fact that both sides are equally powerful and both sides will benefit from being on good terms. Sun Qing gave her a wolf cub, so she must give something back to Sun Qing, otherwise one side will suffer and this fragile friendship will be overturned sooner or later.
Sun Qing scratched her head awkwardly. "Wang Shijin is right. You are not suitable for business. No one can play straight as you do."
After mumbling for a while, she got to the point: "I do need your help with something small. I heard that you got a batch of arms. Can you sell me two guns?"
Xia Xiaoman didn't rush to answer, but asked: "Who did you hear that from?"
There was nothing to hide, so Sun Qing said directly: "The coach and the others said that they got a batch of arms with you a few months ago."
"Then why don't you buy from them? They have more arms than I do." On the surface, Wen Jianfeng and his men received four or five times more arms than she did. After all, it was distributed according to the number of people at that time.
Sun Qing said, "They don't even have enough ammunition for their own use, so they don't have any extra to sell to me."
Xia Xiaoman was puzzled. "There are only a few of them, and they don't do anything normally. How come there aren't enough supplies?"
"Have you not contacted your coach for a long time?"
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "I haven't contacted them for a while, what happened to them?"
Sun Qing said helplessly: "After the second snowstorm, the coach and his men ran out of coal. In order to get more coal, they specifically asked around to see which small gangs were often committing crimes. After finding out, they went together to besiege these gangs and took away all the supplies in the gangs."
Earlier, when Sun Qing asked them to help organize a fleet to transport coal, their hearts had already become wild and they were no longer willing to work for the government every day and get that meager salary.
Later, after getting a batch of arms, Li Yu'e and her friends wanted to do something big and develop their own power like Sun Qing.
But at that time, many people were hiding in the sewers and would not come out. Even if they wanted to recruit younger brothers, they could not. Moreover, among them, one was a father, one was a housewife, one was honest and silent, two were just adults and two children. No one would choose to join them.
Besides, at that time they were not so poor that they had to take risks to grab supplies and territory, so they continued to stay at home and spend the winter.
It was not until the second snowstorm, when they were almost frozen to death, that they realized that the coal they had prepared was not enough. If another snowstorm came, they would most likely freeze to death due to lack of coal.
After much hesitation, Li Yu'e and her friends decided to rob the gang members.
"The coach and his gang would destroy a small gang every now and then, and over time, they had a lot of people following them. Seeing that the number of people was increasing, they simply formed a gang called the Lingxu Gang, named after Wen Ling and Wen Xu."
"After forming a gang, they have to use their weapons sparingly to prevent their subordinates from turning against them."
"So you can't buy arms from your coach, so you want to buy them from me?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Sun Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "Arms are not easy to get. Among the people I know, besides the coach and his friends, you are the only one who has them. If I don't come to you, who else can I buy them from?"
"Ye Xiaojie's in-laws have so many ships, can't they get any munitions?"
"Don't mention it. You don't know how strict the control is in Yuancheng." Sun Qing sighed and said, "After the tsunami, the higher-ups arranged for many people to go to Yuancheng for rescue. Later, natural disasters occurred frequently, and all the rescue troops were stationed where they were."
"With these troops, Yuancheng was able to recover from the natural disaster so quickly. But the bad thing is that there are too many soldiers. If they want to do something bad, they will be caught before they even start."
If it weren't for the good security in Yuancheng, it would be difficult for her and Ye Xiaojie to survive in Yuancheng. But the good security also has its inconveniences, that is, it is very difficult to get some contraband.
If you are walking on the street and carry a long knife, you will be stopped and questioned by patrolling soldiers, not to mention any contraband.
