Chapter 46: Everywhere You Look, There Are Wounds
Pools of blood spread on the water surface.
Wen Jianfeng, holding a dagger, dived into the water and fought fiercely with the black shadow in the water.
Xiao Zheyu knew his own limitations. He couldn't even beat anyone on the water, let alone in the water. He turned around and swam towards the speedboat, and quickly climbed onto it with Su Ran's help.
"Su Ran, drive the speedboat to help Sister Qing and the others." Xiao Zheyu said breathlessly.
"We can't start!" Xia Xiaoman stared at the people on both sides of the shore. "There are still a lot of ropes in the water. Once the speedboat starts, they will definitely pull up the ropes."
There were five or six people standing on each side of the bank, each holding a long bamboo pole in their hands, trying to push Xia Xiaoman and the others into the water.
Xia Xiaoman dodged a bamboo pole and took out a dagger from his waist. After practicing flying knives for so long, it was time to show it off.
Five flying knives were thrown out one after another, leaving streaks of cold light in the air. Each flying knife flew towards the target accurately. Three of them were as swift as poisonous snakes and stabbed three people accurately.
The person who was stabbed screamed in pain and fell to the ground wailing.
Another five lightning-fast flying knives were thrown out, hitting two people.
The other party seemed to know that Xia Xiaoman had the highest fighting power, so they didn't care about anyone else and all raised bamboo poles to besiege Xia Xiaoman.
Although Xiao Zheyu and Su Ran have low martial arts skills, they are young and energetic with quick minds, and they drive the speedboat back and forth.
Seeing that the bamboo pole was about to hit them, the two men pushed the speedboat forward two or three meters, and the bamboo pole missed. The next time the bamboo pole hit them, they pushed the speedboat back two or three meters to avoid it.
They had not driven far, so even if the other party pulled up the rope it would be useless as the impact force was not strong enough to cause any harm to them.
The speedboat went back and forth teasing the bamboo pole, making the people on the shore so angry that they wanted to swim over and beat up Xiao Zheyu and Su Ran.
Xia Xiaoman threw the flying knife several times, and more and more people were injured on the shore. Seeing that more than half of his companions in the water were dead or injured, he knew that he had hit a wall and gave the signal to retreat.
In just a few minutes, all the people around disappeared and left.
He is so proficient in the process, it is obviously not the first time he has done this.
Xia Xiaoman didn't dare to relax and still looked around vigilantly.
Wen Jianfeng swam to the speedboat and pulled the child onto it.
Sun Qing checked the child's injuries. The back of his head was hit, there were bruises all over his body, and his legs were tied tightly with ropes.
"Coach, the kid is dead."
Wen Jianfeng's eyes were slightly red, "I know. Take him back, I will bury him tomorrow."
The child was about the same age as Lingling, and he couldn't bear to let the child soak in the water and be eaten by fish.
On the way back, everyone felt heavy-hearted and had no desire to talk.
What kind of chaos is the world in that people would use a five or six-year-old child as bait?
Just over a month ago, we were still shouting slogans of peace and friendship.
In more than a month, the world was turned upside down, like hell on earth, with wounds everywhere you looked. You couldn't imagine whether the person in front of you was a human or a devil in human skin.
In order to survive, for the sake of materials, they would do anything. They would use the kindness of others to seek benefits for themselves...
Zhou Qiuyang had already seen the cruelty of society, so he could accept it. But for Su Ran and Xiao Zheyu, who were still high school students, this was too cruel.
How vicious can a person be to think of using a five or six-year-old child as bait?
Even lower animals know to protect their young, but these people are worse than animals.
Wen Jianfeng fell into deep self-blame. If he had been more careful, could he have saved the child?
He was going to save someone, but in the end, he killed someone...
Xia Xiaoman unconsciously turned the dagger in his hand and looked ahead steadily.
Knowing it is a trap, you still force your way in.
Perhaps it was because she lacked sympathy and was rather cold-blooded, so she could not understand why Wen Jianfeng lost his mind and ran to save the child when he saw him.
There are too many potential dangers in this behavior...
…
There was no conversation along the way. After returning to the 15th floor, they hurriedly distributed the supplies and went back to their rooms.
The next day, instead of going to the city, I went to the hill where I had caught ducks before.
Wen Jianfeng buried the child's body on the mountain. Others searched for edible wild vegetables in the mountain.
With sufficient rainfall, wild vegetables on the mountain are growing well.
Sun Qing, Xiao Zheyu and others were digging wild vegetables with great interest, sometimes pulling wild onions and sometimes digging bamboo shoots.
Xia Xiaoman was not interested in these. Anyone who has eaten wild vegetables for 18 years would no longer be interested in wild vegetables.
There were a lot of broken firewood on the mountain, probably blown down by the wind during the strong convection. Xia Xiaoman chopped the firewood into sections, took out one-third of it and threw it into the space. Accumulating little by little, the firewood in the space was enough for her to burn for two or three months.
"Ahh! Snake, there's a snake!"
Xia Xiaoman looked up at the sound and saw Su Ran stepping back several steps in panic and falling to the ground.
Xiao Zheyu was the closest to him, so he immediately stepped forward and kicked the snake away, then squatted down, lifted up his trouser legs and squeezed the blood out.
"It's over, it's over. What should I do? Su Ran, don't be afraid. It's okay. Just squeeze out the poisonous blood. You won't die!"
As Xiao Zheyu spoke, tears began to fall.
After all, they are just teenagers, not yet adults, and have poor psychological endurance.
Su Ran was already very scared. Seeing him crying so sadly, her face turned pale and she asked in a sobbing voice, "Am I going to die?"
Sun Qing, Zhou Qiuyang and Wen Jianfeng ran over and saw the snake tooth marks on his leg. They all looked unhappy.
Su Ran became even more frightened. Her calves couldn't stop shaking. She couldn't hold back her tears. "I, I don't want to die. I'm still so young..."
"Hey, was this the snake that bit you just now?"
Su Ran turned around and saw Xia Xiaoman holding a long black and brown snake with patterns in his hand.
Before he could speak, Xiao Zheyu nodded excitedly, "Yes, that's the snake. I just kicked it away."
"This is a water snake, not poisonous, you won't die." Xia Xiaoman said as he chopped off the snake's head with a knife, cut open the snake's belly, and performed a live show of skinning the snake with his bare hands.
Xiao Zheyu was stunned, "Sister, have you practiced this before?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Of course not, these were my childhood snacks."
Xiao Zheyu gave her a thumbs up and said, "Awesome!"
It was a false alarm. Su Ran took a moment to relax and felt that there was nothing wrong with his calf. Then he went to look for wild vegetables.
But this time he was much more careful. Every time he passed an area with dense grass and trees, he would knock it with a stick first.
He was lucky this time as he encountered a non-venomous snake. He may not be so lucky next time, so it is better to be careful.
