Chapter 23 A New Neighbor
Professional boxers have strong hands.
In addition to practicing boxing, Wen Jianfeng's biggest hobby is playing darts. This is the first time he has stabbed a real person with a real knife.
The flying knife was thrown out and hit the opponent's thigh.
Screams like pigs being slaughtered were heard, and those who wanted to come forward stopped.
Wen Jianfeng glanced at them coldly, "If you move forward one meter, the knife will not be stabbed in your thighs, but in your heads."
Faced with such absolute strength, no one dared to act rashly.
But they did not leave. Instead, they surrounded Wen Jianfeng just like they had surrounded the assault boat before.
Estimates that the supplies had almost filled the float and kayak, Xia Xiaoman surfaced.
Seeing the people around her, she was stunned. Seeing that Wen Jianfeng looked normal, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If a teammate is not a slacker, he is a great teammate.
Just as she was about to climb onto the kayak, Wen Jianfeng suddenly pulled out a knife and threw it towards her back.
A scream came from behind. Xia Xiaoman looked back and saw a man falling from the raft into the water. A bright red color spread in the water.
The man wanted to use a wooden stick to sneak attack Xia Xiaoman, thinking that Wen Jianfeng would panic when he saw his companions being attacked, so he could take the opportunity to steal supplies.
Unexpectedly, just as he stretched out the stick, he was stabbed in the chest and fell into the water.
After witnessing this scene, some people who were ready to make a move gave up the idea and continued to hide in the crowd, waiting for their chance to act.
Xia Xiaoman climbed onto the kayak, unloaded his diving equipment, picked up his spear gun and said arrogantly, "Get away from me! You are a bunch of scum who get something for nothing. Why are you staring at us instead of trying to get the supplies underwater?"
"Everyone retreat, or I will send you to see the King of Hell!"
The onlookers looked at each other, wanting to wait for the other party to retreat before they would follow suit.
Xia Xiaoman became impatient, so she set up her spear gun and aimed at the raft closest to her.
When the people on the raft saw that they were being targeted, they were so scared that they immediately paddled backwards, muttering: Don’t hit me, I’ll leave right away.
With the leader, the others also lost their temper and retreated obediently. Anyway, there were several kayaks and a speedboat behind them, and the speedboat had more supplies.
After the onlookers had moved away for a distance, Xia Xiaoman put down the spear gun and told Wen Jianfeng to row away quickly.
…
It only took me more than an hour to get here, but it took me almost three or four hours to get to the community on the way back.
They encountered five robberies along the way, but they were all just one or two rafts with not many people. Wen Jianfeng performed a flying knife show on them and scared the people away.
When Xia Xiaoman saw his flying knife, she made up her mind to go back and find Wen Jianfeng to learn it, as it was a life-saving skill.
When we returned to the community, the flood had receded to the sixth and a half floor, which was a bit awkward.
Xia Xiaoman was lifted up by Wen Jianfeng and finally grabbed the railing of the seventh-floor balcony and climbed up.
The supplies were moved into the building. Xia Xiaoman stayed there to guard the place, while Wen Jianfeng was responsible for moving the supplies to the 13th floor.
Not long after Wen Jianfeng left with a bag of supplies, Xia Xiaoman heard footsteps coming down from upstairs.
She thought it was Sun Qing who saw them coming back and came downstairs to help. She looked up at the door and saw two unfamiliar faces.
Xia Xiaoman moved his right hand to his lower back and looked at the other party warily, "Who are you?"
"Hello, sister. My name is Xiao Zheyu, and this is my friend Su Ran. We just moved here today."
The young man with silver-gray hair came over with a smile, "Sister, are you going to carry so many things up there? Do you need me and Su Ran to help you?"
Xia Xiaoman said coldly, "Get lost!"
He was as skinny as a little chicken. Could he help her carry supplies? She believed him if he stole supplies.
Xiao Zheyu's face froze for a moment. "Sister, don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We really just want to help you."
"Don't call me sister. I don't have a brother as weak as you."
Seeing Xia Xiaoman's disgusted look, Xiao Zheyu's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile: "Since sister...since you don't need our help, then we will go back first."
Xiao Zheyu turned and left in disappointment. People who didn’t know would think that Xia Xiaoman had done something to him.
When Wen Jianfeng went downstairs, he saw that he looked dejected, but he didn't ask much. He just nodded as a greeting and quickly went downstairs sideways.
Xiao Zheyu finally couldn't pretend anymore, and kicked the wall in frustration, then glared at Su Ran fiercely, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
"Didn't you see how much supplies those people had? If you had spoken for me just now, maybe we could have blended into their team and wouldn't have to go out looking for food every day."
Su Ran's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Do you think they are fools? If you just say a few words, they will let you join the team?"
Xiao Zheyu snorted coldly: "That's better than you being like a mute and saying nothing!"
Su Ran was too lazy to pay attention to this brainless idiot and slowly returned to his room.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman saw Wen Jianfeng coming down and asked, "Coach, did you run into two men when you came down?"
Wen Jianfeng nodded, "Yes, I met them. Ah Qing said that they moved downstairs from us not long after we left."
"He's so smooth-talking, he doesn't look like a good person." Xia Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "We'll find a way to change the lock of the fire door later. We'll change it to our own, so that no one else can get into the 13th floor."
Wen Jianfeng responded, "Okay, I'll see how to do it this afternoon."
They brought back a lot of supplies this time, and Wen Jianfeng had to move them more than ten times before he could move them all.
Since there were only Xia Xiaoman and Wen Jianfeng on this trip, and Xia Xiaoman contributed the most, the profit was split 40% to 60% between the two of them. Xia Xiaoman took 60% and Wen Jianfeng took 40%.
In addition, the two of them had to give a small portion to Sun Qing and the others as housekeeping fees. This was the unspoken rule.
After distributing the supplies, Xia Xiaoman went back to the room, ate something, took a shower, and went to bed.
Diving is very physically demanding, and coupled with dragging so much supplies back, Xia Xiaoman was already exhausted. She fell into a deep sleep within five minutes of lying in bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.
Xia Xiaoman vaguely remembered changing the door lock and sat up with a start.
“Hiss, it hurts, it hurts!”
I feel sore all over my body, especially in my thigh muscles and arms, which are sore, swollen and painful.
Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to apply the medicated wine and ointment before going to bed.
Just as I was about to get up, a scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly came from outside the house.
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then stood up and ran out of the bedroom...
