Chapter 354: Fire in the Shed
Although the fire was put out in time, several large holes were burned in the greenhouse and it is not known whether they can be repaired.
Zhang Can was feeling a little disappointed. The greenhouse that he and Zhu Xingliang had worked so hard to protect had become like this. He didn't know if the cotton in the greenhouse could survive...
Xia Xiaoman said, "Zhang Can, go and tell Sister Yu'e and the others to come over and see if this greenhouse can be repaired."
Zhang Can nodded. "Okay, Sister Xia, please take care of this first. I'll be back soon."
After Zhang Can left, Xia Xiaoman went outside the yard and dragged the person Maodan caught into the greenhouse.
There were six people who set the fire. Four of them were bitten to death by Maodan, and the remaining two had their hands and feet bitten off by Maodan, leaving them with only one breath left.
Xia Xiaoman looked at the two people, "What are your names?"
The two men seemed not to hear anything and kept crying out while covering their wounds.
Xia Xiaoman sneered, "You're still pretty tough, I hope you can keep it up." As he spoke, Xia Xiaoman drew out his Tang sword and cut open the clothes of one of them. Without clothes to protect his body, the man shivered instantly.
However, Xia Xiaoman did not stop. She put away the Tang sword and put it aside. Instead, she took out a sharp knife and carefully cut the flesh on the other person's back with the tip of the knife.
The man's face was twisted in pain, but he refused to let out a scream, which showed that he was a man indeed.
It's a pity that they shouldn't have burned the greenhouse. The greenhouse was the hope of Lingxu Gang to enter the underground city, not to mention that Zhu Xingliang's body was placed inside.
While Xia Xiaoman was slowly cutting, he explained to the two people: "In the past, our Xia country had a kind of punishment called skinning. One of the methods was to bury the person in the ground, leaving the head exposed. Then they cut a hole in the head and poured mercury into it."
"Mercury is heavier than blood. When you pour mercury in, the skin will separate from the muscles. In this way, you can get a complete skin."
Xia Xiaoman's voice was gentle, but to the two people's ears, it sounded very eerie and terrifying. She continued, "Don't worry, mercury skinning is just a legend, and no one has confirmed it yet. And I don't have mercury, so I plan to use another method to skin you."
"This method is much simpler. We'll make an operation directly on your spine, and then cut your skin and muscles little by little without damaging your muscles and blood vessels. Once your skin is completely peeled off, you won't die."
The man who was being skinned felt a sharp pain on his back and turned his head in horror to see if Xia Xiaoman was really skinning him. "Crazy woman, are you sick? If you have the guts, kill me!"
The other person who was not skinned had an unobstructed view and saw Xia Xiaoman skinning people. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he secretly moved his butt to escape. After moving twice, he heard warm breath by his ear. He turned his head and saw Maodan staring at him.
Xia Xiaoman turned her head to look at the man who wanted to escape, "Why? Do you want to try the feeling of skinning first?"
"No, no... I, I, don't peel my skin. You, I will tell you whatever you want to know..."
It’s so horrifying. How can there be such a person in this world who can skin someone without changing his expression? Is he still a human being?
Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised that the person being tortured had not confessed yet, but the person being tortured confessed first. She slapped the wound of the person being tortured with the back of the knife from time to time, and looked at the one who was not being tortured, "First, tell me what your names are, and who told you to set the fire?"
The one who was not tortured said tremblingly: "My name is Tian Wei, his name is Shi Aqiang. I..."
"Tian Wei, shut up!" Tian Wei was interrupted by Shi Aqiang before he could finish his words, "Have you forgotten how big brother helped us? How can you repay kindness with enmity!"
Tian Wei looked hesitant when he heard this. Xia Xiaoman clicked her tongue impatiently, walked to the kang, picked up a piece of red-hot coal and threw it on Shi Aqiang's back.
Shi Aqiang instantly turned into a dying fish, screaming and thrashing on the ground, trying to get the charcoal off his back.
When Tian Wei saw this scene, his already pale face turned even paler than snow, his body shook unconsciously, and he looked at Xia Xiaoman as if he had seen a devil.
He no longer hesitated and shook off the people who were behind him. "I, we are from the Huanghai Gang. It was Master Huang who asked us to burn the greenhouse. It has nothing to do with me. I, I am just following orders. If I don't listen, Master Huang will kill me. It has nothing to do with me. Don't, don't skin me..."
"Huanghai Gang?" Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Why did he ask you to burn down the Lingxu Gang's shed?"
"During this period, the Huanghai Gang and the Lingxu Gang often fought for the Xueteng territory. A few days ago, Master Huang found out that these greenhouses were built by the Lingxu Gang at great expense. In order to vent his anger, Master Huang sent us to burn down the greenhouses."
After Tian Wei finished speaking, he glanced at Maodan next to him and said tremblingly, "Grandpa Huang also said that when burning the greenhouse, if you see a wolf, you must write down the location of the wolf and the wolf's owner. He will come to visit when he is free..."
Xia Xiaoman narrowed her eyes. Huang Hai was so bold that he dared to covet her Maodan.
"Where is the headquarters of your Huanghai Gang?"
"This, this..." Tian Wei looked embarrassed, "Auntie, our Huanghai Gang doesn't have a base."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "No nest? Then where do you usually gather or hide your supplies?"
Tian Wei said, "Usually when there is a mission, Master Huang would randomly pick a house from our place to gather together to discuss the mission details. As for the supplies... I don't know where Master Huang hides them. Every time we robbed supplies, he would ask us to put them in a remote place, and then he would secretly transport them away after everyone left."
"He carried it away alone?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Tian Wei nodded, "Yes! No matter how much supplies there are, Master Huang can transport them away and hide them. We don't know how he transported these supplies. He refused to tell us and didn't allow us to see."
"Some people were curious about how Master Huang transported the supplies, and they hid in the places where the supplies were stored, waiting for Master Huang to come and transport the supplies. Without exception, all of these people disappeared."
"Missing?" Xia Xiaoman frowned. She remembered Li Yu'e saying that the person she sent to follow Huang Hai was also missing and his life or death was still unknown.
"Your Master Huang has such a bad temper and makes people disappear at any time. Why are you still so devoted to working for him?"
Tian Wei hesitated for a while and said, "Master Huang has a bad temper, but he is generous to his subordinates. After the earthquake, the officials of Fucheng could only eat porridge, but Master Huang was able to give us rice and flour to eat."
"There was also the bird flu a while ago, and many people in the gang were infected. I don't know where Mr. Huang got a batch of drugs to treat bird flu, and he gave each of us a box for free. If it weren't for Mr. Huang, I might have died."
When Tian Wei said this, he felt a little guilty. Master Huang had been very kind to him, but he sold Master Huang out because he was afraid of being punished...
Xia Xiaoman frowned. This Huang Hai doesn't seem to be simple!
