Chapter 268: Catching People and Eating Their Flesh
Military tents have appeared, so it is normal to have greenhouses for growing vegetables. But Xia Xiaoman felt that those greenhouses looked familiar, very similar to the greenhouses built by Li Yu'e and others.
The greenhouse built by Li Yu'e and her colleagues was covered with a layer of black plastic film to block out the light, and the roofs of the greenhouses in front were also covered with black plastic film.
Xia Xiaoman scratched his head in confusion. Could it be that she was wandering around in the mountains and then ran back to the outskirts of Fucheng?
"Ah! You damned bastard, don't run, I'm going to kill you!"
An angry voice sounded from behind. Xia Xiaoman turned around and saw Maodan running towards him from the corner with some blood on his mouth.
Xia Xiaoman immediately jumped out of the car and shouted to Maodan, "Maodan, come here!"
Maodan rushed to Xia Xiaoman, braked suddenly and turned around, protecting her behind him, staring at the corner ahead with vigilant eyes.
Xia Xiaoman pried open its mouth and saw that it was not injured. Then he stood up slowly and looked forward.
At the corner ahead, several men ran out one after another, one of them was limping. The man who just spoke was probably this man.
When those people saw Xia Xiaoman, greed immediately flashed in their eyes.
The man bitten by the egg showed a happy expression, "Haha, I'm really lucky today, I caught two fat sheep."
Someone nearby glanced at Xia Xiaoman with a little disdain, "That one looks a little thin, but it can still produce dozens of kilograms of meat, enough for us to have a few full meals."
"You two really only care about meat. Don't you see how big the car is? With this car, you can get as much meat as you want." The leader said as he took out a machete and slowly approached Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman patted Maodan's head, signaling it not to move. When the group of people came over, she would take out the stones in the space and smash them into meat patties without any effort.
Just as she was about to take action, a figure suddenly ran down the mountain and blocked her way.
"Wang Laizi, what do you want to do?"
The leading man saw the person in front of him clearly, and his face darkened instantly, "Ji Ming, get out of here, don't get involved in things that are not your business."
Ji Ming refused to give in. "Wang Laizi, Uncle Quan said that we can no longer arrest people randomly. If you don't leave, I will tell Uncle Quan everything you have done these days!"
"You!" Wang Laizi was furious. "Ji Ming, who do you think you are? I've let you be the village party secretary for two years, and you really think you're an official? I'm telling you, I'm going to catch this guy today. Get out of here if you know what's good for you, or I'll catch you too!"
"Hmph, then come here and try. Let me see if you have the ability to catch me." Ji Ming pulled out a machete and held it across his face.
Wang Laizi's face was gloomy, and he took two steps forward, wanting to fight with Ji Ming. Seeing this, the two people nearby hurriedly pulled Wang Laizi back.
"Brother Wang, forget it. We are unlucky today. Let's go! Let's go to the floating city camp ahead and try our luck. Maybe we can meet a fat sheep."
"That's right, Brother Wang, we can't touch Ji Ming. Uncle Quan values him. If Uncle Quan finds out, we'll be in big trouble. A wise man won't suffer a loss in front of him. Let's go and have a look somewhere else!"
Several people tried their best to dissuade Wang Laizi. Wang Laizi was also a little afraid of Uncle Quan and Ji Ming, so he glared at Ji Ming and Xia Xiaoman fiercely, and left angrily with a group of people.
After Wang Laizi walked away, Ji Ming turned around and looked at Xia Xiaoman, "Didn't I remind you not to get close to this place? Why did you drive over here?"
Xia Xiaoman looked around and asked, "Does this also belong to your village?"
Ji Ming pointed to the place where he had just come down, "Go up here and go around to the back and you will reach our village."
Xia Xiaoman: “…” She actually came back.
"You better leave! We are not good people in this village. If you run into them, your life will be in danger."
Hearing Ji Ming's words, Xia Xiaoman laughed, "So, you're not a good person either?"
Ji Ming pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a bitter smile, "I am indeed not a good person..."
Xia Xiaoman looked at the expression on his face, thinking of what those people had just said, and asked tentatively: "Just now those people said they wanted to kill me and eat my flesh... Could it be that your village specializes in capturing people and eating their flesh?"
Ji Ming's expression changed instantly when he heard that, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "How could we possibly eat...eat those things. Wang Laizi and the others said those things just to scare you."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You should leave too!" After saying that, Ji Ming turned around and left, his steps a little hurried.
Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that such a simple village would actually eat human flesh. But she was a little puzzled. There was a relief station in Fucheng. If there was nothing to eat, they could go to the relief station for help. Why did Ji Ming and his village capture people for meat?
Coming back to her senses, Xia Xiaoman looked at the curling smoke in the distance. She had just heard from the group that the front was the floating city garrison, which meant that the greenhouses she saw through the telescope were most likely Li Yu'e and her group.
After thinking about it, Xia Xiaoman drove the car to an empty place, put the car into the space, and walked to the floating city garrison with Maodan.
After walking for more than an hour, she saw a group of people waving hoes on the mountain from a distance. They seemed to be turning the soil. They were probably from the planting area.
Xia Xiaoman walked over, found an old man and asked, "Hello, are you from the planting area? Do you know Chen Peiqiong?"
The old man glanced at her and said while hoeing the ground: "Who are you? What do you want to see Chen Peiqiong?"
"I'm Chen Peiqiong's friend, and I want to ask her for help with something."
When the old man heard Xia Xiaoman's words, he stopped what he was doing and stretched out his hand, "Inquiry fee."
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
She took out a pack of soda crackers from her pocket and put it in the other person's hand. The old man took a look, turned his head and shouted into the distance: "Chen Peiqiong! Your friend is looking for you!"
Xia Xiaoman looked in the direction the other person was looking, and saw Chen Peiqiong standing less than 50 meters in front of her, but the other person's head was wrapped in cloth, so she couldn't recognize him.
This old man is such a rip-off. He didn't even tell her that Chen Peiqiong was right next to her and insisted on cheating her out of the consultation fee.
When Chen Peiqiong heard the voice and turned around, she saw the mighty and strong Maodan. She knew that Xia Xiaoman was looking for her, so she hurried over with a hoe.
"Xiao Man, why are you here? Where have you been all this time?"
