Chapter 24: The Mindless Xiao Zheyu
Sharp screams echoed in the building.
After listening at the door for a while and making sure that the sound was not coming from the corridor, Xia Xiaoman slowly opened the door.
Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie from room 1303 next door also quietly opened the door. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, they walked out to check around and pricked up their ears to listen to where the screaming was coming from.
The two men were walking back and forth in the dim corridor with knives in their hands. Wen Jianfeng was startled when he opened the door. "What are you doing? Are you on patrol?"
Sun Qing smiled awkwardly, "No, we heard screams and wanted to find out where they came from."
"No need to look for them. Two gangs came downstairs. They must be fighting."
Wen Jianfeng lives in Room 2. His balcony faces the street, and he can see clearly what's going on outside by sticking his head out.
He changed the lock of the fire door of the emergency passage at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and went back to the house and went to the balcony to see how much the water level had dropped. He happened to see a group of people coming in from the 6th floor, and also saw a group of people wandering nearby in the distance.
He guessed that the group would also come over, so he stood on the balcony and watched.
Sure enough, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the group of people in the distance also came over.
"The first group that came in had more supplies, so they didn't choose a high floor and lived on the 10th floor. The second group must have deliberately stayed next to the first group and chose the 11th floor."
Wen Jianfeng saw someone collecting water on the balcony on the 10th floor and guessed it was the first group. When the second group reached the 11th floor, they peeked down from the balcony to see what was happening on the 10th floor and were seen by him.
"The group behind probably saw that the group in front had more supplies, so they followed and robbed them."
Sun Qing was a little nervous, "Will they come up to me while fighting?"
There were only five people on their level, three of whom were injured. If a real fight broke out, they would definitely suffer.
Wen Jianfeng shook his head, "I don't know. But even if they come up, we don't have to worry too much. They have about the same number of people on both sides, seven or eight people, and if they fight, there will be some casualties. We may not lose if we fight them."
The center of the fight between the two gangs should be in Room 2, close to the door of Wen Jianfeng's house, and the sounds of fighting and shouting could be clearly heard.
Several people were listening attentively to the noise downstairs, when suddenly they heard the sound of the fire door lock turning.
The person outside the door turned the handle twice, but found that it would not open, so he knocked on the door instead, "Hey, is there anyone in there? Can you open the door and let us in?"
"Brothers and sisters, open the door! I'm Xiao Zheyu. Something happened downstairs. Someone was fighting and killed someone. Please open the door and let us in, okay?" Xiao Zheyu's unique voice came from outside the door.
Xia Xiaoman was speechless. "Is this guy the reincarnation of a clamp spirit? He can clamp so well."
Sun Qing laughed out loud, "Do you want to let them in?"
Wen Jianfeng thought for a moment and said, "Personally, I suggest letting them in. I saw them both yesterday. Although they were a little cunning, they had clear eyes and didn't look like bad people."
"The most important reason is that we are too few in number. There are seven of us, one is seriously injured, two are slightly injured, and there are two children. Xiaoman and I are the only ones who can take action. Let them in. If anything happens, let them go first."
Xia Xiaoman understood that Wen Jianfeng wanted Xiao Zheyu and Su Ran to be cannon fodder. She shrugged and said she had no objection. If these two weaklings dared to cause trouble, they would be killed and thrown out.
After opening the door, Xiao Zheyu and Su Ran came in, each dragging a suitcase.
Sun Qing was a little surprised. "You only have two suitcases, and no supplies?"
Xiao Zheyu nodded, "We live in a dormitory, and we don't have anything except personal items."
Sun Qing: “…”
"All four apartments here are occupied. If you don't mind, you can live in the corridor."
Just as Xiao Zheyu was about to protest, he heard Sun Qing's next sentence, "If you mind, you can leave now."
Xiao Zheyu pursed his lips, looked around, and picked Ye Xiaojie who looked shy and introverted to act coquettishly, "Sister, I have been..."
"I have been practicing Sanda since I was a child. If you don't want to get beaten, just shut up." Ye Xiaojie said with a cold face.
Xiao Zheyu: “…”
He turned and looked at Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman answered sincerely, "I have been chopping wood since I was a child, and I am very good at swinging a knife. Do you want to try it?"
Xiao Zheyu: “…”Thanks for the invitation, but no thanks.
Sun Qing was happy and patted Xiao Zheyu on the shoulder. "Sister, I have been practicing boxing since I was a child. I can blow your little head off with one punch."
Xiao Zheyu was completely depressed and huddled in the corner of the corridor, looking pitiful and helpless.
Su Ran didn't make any trouble. He thanked politely and chose a place to pack his luggage.
…
The fighting downstairs lasted for more than twenty minutes. When it ended, there were eight or nine bodies downstairs.
The building became quiet. The people downstairs must have suffered heavy losses, so they did not come up to cause trouble for them.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xia Xiaoman planned to go to 1301 to see Zhou Qiuyang. As soon as he opened the door, a pale ghost face appeared in the corridor.
Xia Xiaoman instantly clenched the axe behind her waist and was about to throw it away when she heard one of the ghost faces say, "Sister, I'm so hungry. Can you lend me some food? I'll trade it with you for the Oleaya essence."
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to hack someone to death, and said sinisterly: "What's wrong with you so late at night that you painted your face like this!"
Xiao Zheyu touched the thick mask on his face and said, "Sister, you don't understand. I have already participated in the trainee audition. No matter when and where, I must protect my skin. This is the first step to becoming a boy band member."
Xia Xiaoman took out an axe and said, "I don't care what you are, clean the stuff off your face. If you dare to scare people with this mess again, I will beat you into a ball!"
Under the pressure, Xiao Zheyu wiped off the mask on his face indignantly.
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes. She thought he was just a gigolo, but he turned out to be a silly gigolo. What a time to be in a boy band.
But such a simple-minded person is easier to get along with. What the other person thinks is written on his face, so there is no need to worry about him stabbing you in the back. But Su Ran, who remained silent...
It is said that a dog that does not bark will bite people, but it is not known whether it is biting outsiders or its own people.
…
Zhou Qiuyang lay in bed for a day, with a fever coming back and forth, and he was a little dehydrated. The inflammation of the wound could be big or small, and whether he could survive it depended on himself.
Ye Xiaojie reapplied medicine for him and gave him double the dose of anti-inflammatory medicine, hoping that he could survive.
The next day, Xia Xiaoman and Wen Jianfeng did not go out.
Late last night, another group of people came into the building.
If they go out now, and someone comes to steal supplies while they are away, Sun Qing and his companions will find it difficult to resist.
Bored at home, Xia Xiaoman went to Wen Jianfeng to learn how to use a flying knife.
She always hits the target with her axe, but her throwing knives are not so good. A throwing knife is much lighter than an axe, and the weight distribution is different. Every time Xia Xiaoman throws a throwing knife, she habitually uses the technique of swinging an axe, so she always misses the target.
Wen Jianfeng explained the relevant techniques of throwing knives to Xia Xiaoman and then left her alone, letting her practice on her own.
Practice makes perfect. Skills can only help the thrower find the feeling as soon as possible. If you want to hit the target every time, you need to practice more.
