Chapter 355: The Greenhouse Fire
Xia Xiaoman remembered very clearly that Huang Hai was not on the list of suspected space users investigated by the former mayor Si Ruifeng.
Being able to hide a large amount of supplies under the official nose without making a sound, and dare to use them without being suspected by anyone, it can be seen that Huang Hai is scheming and difficult to deal with.
Before Xia Xiaoman finished questioning Tian Wei, Zhang Can came over with Xiao Zheyu. Xiao Zheyu saw Xia Xiaoman, said hello, stepped aside and waited for her to finish questioning.
"Then how do you usually contact Huang Hai?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Tian Wei.
Tian Wei said, "Usually it is Master Huang who contacts us. If we need to contact Master Huang urgently, we can go to Yang Er and use the satellite phone to contact Master Huang. Master Huang trusts Yang Er more and gave him a satellite phone."
"Satellite phone?" Xia Xiaoman frowned. The orbit of the Blue Planet has changed. Can the satellite phone still be used?
"Have you seen Yang Er contact Huang Hai using a satellite phone?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Tian Wei shook his head. "No, Yang Erke treasures his satellite phone so much that he won't show it to anyone else. He always calls Master Huang secretly in his room."
Xia Xiaoman touched her nose thoughtfully. She didn't know whether the satellite phone could still be used, but she guessed that Yang Er's satellite phone was a cover. Huang Hai might live at Yang Er's house, or near Yang Er's house, so in case of emergency, Yang Er could notify Huang Hai immediately.
Xia Xiaoman looked at Xiao Zheyu and said, "I don't have anything else to ask. You can ask your questions!"
Xiao Zheyu responded, clenched his fist and said, "Sister Xiaoman, it's cold outside. You should go back to the house and warm up first. I'll come in to find you when I'm done." As he said that, he walked to face Tian Wei and Shi Aqiang, raised his fist and started beating the two of them.
Xia Xiaoman had not walked far when he heard screams coming from the greenhouse.
Xiao Zheyu's methods were much more cruel than Xia Xiaoman's. When he walked out of the greenhouse, his pure white steel-tooth rabbit fur coat was stained with blood.
He picked up a ball of snow and wiped the blood off his body while walking towards Xia Xiaoman's house.
"Sister Xiaoman, I'll transfer two people to your side later. The old guy Huangpizi has set his sights on you. If he knows you're here, it might be troublesome."
Xia Xiaoman said, "No, I have the ability to protect myself." She was eager for Huang Hai to find her so that she could confirm whether Huang Hai had the space as she guessed. "Did you get any other information from those two?"
Xiao Zheyu squatted beside the brazier and roasted the fire and said, "They said that the yellow-skinned people will send people to burn our greenhouse tomorrow. I have asked Zhang Can to notify Sister Yu'e and ask her to prepare in advance to ambush the yellow-skinned people."
"What specific time will they come to burn the greenhouse tomorrow?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheyu raised his head and looked at her, "Sister Xiaoman, do you want to join in the fun?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Yeah, I want to meet Huang Hai."
"They will take action around 11 o'clock tomorrow night, but Huangpizi probably won't come back." Xiao Zheyu advised: "Sister Xiaoman, I don't recommend you to cause trouble for Huangpizi. That guy is unfathomable. All the people we sent before disappeared. If you go to provoke him alone, I'm afraid..."
Xia Xiaoman said, "Don't worry, no matter how powerful Huang Hai is, he is not as powerful as a bullet."
Xiao Zheyu sighed helplessly, "Okay then! If you want to go find Huangpizi, I won't stop you. But don't act rashly. Wait until we find out Huangpizi's whereabouts. That way, if anything happens, Sister Yu'e and I can find a way to save you."
Xia Xiaoman did not reject his kindness and asked with a smile: "Then how do you plan to check Huang Hai's whereabouts?"
"The two men just said that the person Huangpizi trusts the most is a man named Yang Er. After the greenhouse issue is resolved, I will personally lead people to keep an eye on Yang Er."
Xiao Zheyu looked at Xia Xiaoman, "Sister Xiaoman, you have to promise me that you will not act rashly before you find the trace of Huangpizi. Huangpizi is a shrewd man and it is not so easy to deal with him."
Xia Xiaoman nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The Lingxu Gang had been searching for Huang Hai's whereabouts since before the earthquake, but they were discovered by Huang Hai every time. They could not find Huang Hai's lair, nor did they know where Huang Hai hid the looted supplies, so they did not take any action.
This time, Huang Hai had someone set fire to the greenhouse, and the feud between the two factions was complete.
The Huanghai Gang wanted to destroy their hope of entering the underground city in the future, so they would completely destroy the Huanghai Gang. Even without Xia Xiaoman, Xiao Zheyu would personally keep an eye on Yang Er and find Huang Hai to kill him!
But before that, they needed to repair the greenhouse first. Otherwise, the cotton would be frozen to death, and it would be useless even if they skinned and tortured all the people in the Huanghai Gang.
After Li Yu'e counted the damage to the greenhouse, she immediately went to the trading point to buy materials to fill the holes in the greenhouse.
In the past, the trading point would not easily sell such a widely used material as waterproof cloth. But recently, the trading point has received a large amount of snow rattan. Snow rattan outerwear can not only keep out the cold, but also be waterproof. With these snow rattan outerwear, waterproof cloth is no longer so scarce.
Li Yu'e bought the waterproof cloth and had it cut to fill in all the holes that were burned as soon as possible.
The cotton has been planted for more than five months, which is the critical boll opening period. In about two months, this batch of cotton can be harvested, and they must keep this cotton at all costs.
Xia Xiaoman heard some noise outside at home. She went out and saw Zhang Can and a few others climbing up to the greenhouse with a simple ladder to fix a hole. She then took out her own stepladder and lent it to them.
Li Yu'e saw her coming out and asked, "Did I disturb you?"
"No, I was bored at home, so I came out to take a look." Xia Xiaoman handed the ladder to Zhang Can, then returned to Li Yu'e and asked, "Is the loss serious this time?"
"Fortunately, we only lost 10% of the cotton. But I earned a lot of points by cutting snow vines some time ago, so the impact is not big."
After that, she sighed and said, "What a pity, now the higher-ups don't allow us to cut snow vines, otherwise we could earn more points."
"Don't let me cut the snow vines? Why?" Xia Xiaoman looked at her puzzledly.
Li Yu'e said, "When I went to buy the tarpaulin, I saw the security team hanging a notice saying that there were too few snow vines now and they were afraid that we would cut them to extinction. They asked us not to cut the snow vines for the time being and wait until they grew more."
When Xia Xiaoman heard this, she smiled and said, "The Americans brought the snow vine here to create chaos in our Xia country, but you guys are almost cutting the snow vine to extinction."
Li Yu'e curled her lips. "You know that in Xia Country, even weeds on the roadside will be pulled up to study their medicinal value. As long as the value is high enough, no matter how fast it reproduces, it will eventually become a rare plant or animal."
Snow vine is too unstable, so planting areas dare not plant it, fearing that it could cause death. So they let the snow vine grow in the wild, and if anything happens, it won't be the responsibility of the planting area.
But they were afraid that some people would cut all the snow vines for points, so they issued a notice to temporarily prohibit everyone from cutting the snow vines. Just like the previous fishing ban in the sea, the survivors would be allowed to harvest the snow vines only after the snow vines have reproduced more.
