Chapter 384: No Cry for Help, Just Ask for a Knife
After leaving Lingxu Gang, Xia Xiaoman went straight home.
It was the middle of the night, and all Xia Xiaoman met along the way were thugs who were out robbing and killing people.
Maybe those people thought Xia Xiaoman was wandering outside alone and thought she was also a poor person, so these thugs didn't try to stop her.
Their goal was to find intact houses. If the houses had not collapsed or been burned, it meant that someone was living there and that they might have stored a lot of food. Robbing these people was much better than robbing the poor people wandering the streets.
Suddenly, a woman with disheveled hair rushed out from a nearby house. After she ran a few steps, the man who was chasing her grabbed her hair and dragged her back.
Xia Xiaoman didn't want to cause trouble, so she held her hat down and walked along the wall. At this moment, the woman shouted at her, "Knife! Lend me a knife! Please, lend me a knife, and I'll give you all the supplies in the house!"
"You bitch, you still have the energy to talk! Get in here!" The man holding her pulled her in forcefully. The woman knew what would happen if she was dragged into the house, so she struggled desperately, staring at the Tang sword on Xia Xiaoman's back, her eyes filled with the desire to survive.
Xia Xiaoman stood there and looked at the other person with interest. This guy was quite interesting. He didn't cry for help but only asked for a knife.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoman didn't leave, the man shouted viciously: "What are you looking at? Get out of here right now and don't meddle in other people's business, or I'll kill you!"
Xia Xiaoman thought about it, pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it over.
The woman's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the dagger and stabbed it in the head. No one knew where the stab hit, and the man let go of his hand that was pulling her hair in pain.
After breaking free from the restraints, the woman did not run away immediately. Instead, she turned around and jumped onto the man's back. She clamped her legs around the man's waist and put one hand around the man's neck. After she fixed her body, she held the dagger in her right hand and stabbed it straight into the man's eyes.
Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. This guy was not bad and was just what she liked.
Hearing the man's scream, his companions in the house immediately ran out. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan and quickly hid aside to watch the fight.
The woman looked back at the man and the wolf hiding behind the wall, the corners of her mouth twitched, then she adjusted her state and seriously dealt with the people rushing over.
It took a lot of effort for the woman to get rid of all those people. Then she walked up to Xia Xiaoman and handed over the bloody dagger, "Thank you for the knife. My name is Jiang Yue, what's yours?"
"My name is Xia Xiaoman, and the supplies I just mentioned..." Xia Xiaoman looked inside the house.
Jiang Yue walked into the house and said, "Come in and take as much as you can."
Xia Xiaoman followed him in and saw that the house was unkempt and filled with men's supplies. She asked, "Isn't this your home?"
"No, I was knocked unconscious by these people and brought here." Jiang Yue picked up the rabbit fur coat on the ground and put it on. After getting dressed, he picked up a bag and threw the supplies he liked into the bag.
Xia Xiaoman was speechless for a moment. She thought she could pick up a room full of supplies for free.
Seeing that Jiang Yue had quickly picked up all the good things in the house, Xia Xiaoman didn't hesitate and picked up a luggage bag to start packing supplies.
This group of people probably sold all the supplies in exchange for points. There weren't many supplies at home before, just some sweet potatoes, potatoes and other food.
While picking up supplies, Xia Xiaoman asked curiously, "You are so skilled, why did you run away? Why don't you just kill those people?"
"I'm not strong enough, and I can't beat them with my bare hands." Jiang Yue used to be a dancer. She doesn't have much strength, but she is flexible. After several years of self-training, she can use some tricky angles to deal with people who are stronger than her, which is what others often call dirty tricks.
After packing up the supplies, Jiang Yue put on her backpack and said, "It's enough to take what's almost there. A few of their companions are out robbing. They should be back soon." After saying that, she quickly left the crime scene without waiting for Xia Xiaoman to answer.
Xia Xiaoman didn't stay for long and quickly fled with Maodan.
When he returned home, Lu Lanshan had already brought people to deliver one third of the supplies in the Jade Buddha space.
"The news that the authorities have taken the space from Lingxu Gang has spread. Starting tomorrow, there should be fewer people targeting Lingxu Gang. We have also brought your supplies back for you. Please check and see if there are any problems."
Xia Xiaoman took a look at the car parked at the door. Lu Lanshan and the others still had some conscience and knew to use a coal-carrying truck to cover up the situation. They did not bring the supplies over blatantly.
Xia Xiaoman opened the gate, put away the trap hidden in the yard, and asked Lu Lanshan and others to drive the car into the yard to unload the goods.
Lu Lanshan directed his subordinates to move the supplies into the house. After unloading the goods, he stood next to Xia Xiaoman and said, "Comrade Xiaoman, are you interested in finding a wife for Maodan?"
Xia Xiaoman glanced at him and asked, "Do you have other snow wolves?"
"We don't have any snow wolves, but we do have a few wolfhounds that are very strong. These wolfhounds are descendants of drug-sniffing dogs. We didn't raise them very carefully, but they are still alive today, which is enough to show how strong they are."
"What do you think? Do you want to bring Maodan to a blind date? They are all high-quality female wolfdogs." Lu Lanshan looked at Xia Xiaoman with anticipation.
Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched, "Secretary Lu, if you have nothing to do, please go back! I still have a lot of things to do and don't have time to chat with you here." As she said that, she forced Lu Lanshan out. If she didn't drive him away, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would attack civil servants.
After Lu Lanshan and the others left, Xia Xiaoman went back to the house and slowly packed up the supplies. She checked each item carefully to prevent the other party from using eavesdropping devices or pinhole cameras.
Only after confirming that there was no problem with the supplies Lu Lanshan sent back did Xia Xiaoman completely relax.
After a whole day of battling wits and courage with these elites, she was running out of brain cells.
…
After the news that the Lingxu Gang's space items were taken away by the authorities spread, the number of people attacking the Lingxu Gang suddenly decreased by more than half.
Li Yu'e took the opportunity to ask people to build a snow wall, and also asked people to secretly dig some snow vines and plant them outside the snow wall. If anyone approached the Lingxu Gang's territory, they would be easily discovered.
Before the snow vines were planted, another group of people came to the territory of their Lingxu Gang.
However, these people are not here to cause trouble, but to seek cooperation. They want Lingxu to join them, overthrow the current official, and become the master!
