Qin Xiao looked at her deeply. Although he already knew the purpose of her marriage to him, which was to escape her mother's arranged marriage, he still found it difficult to accept that she did not attach importance to their marriage.
Ji Xia did not feel Qin Xiao's resentful gaze. She felt that she did not put any pressure on him. After all, his lover was not her, but the motherland.
And she was just a tool for him to love his motherland.
Xie Baitang and his men rode bicycles towards Jijia Village under the cover of night. There were four or five of them in total, and they didn't speak. They relied on the flashlight in Xie Baitang's hand to barely light the way.
Suddenly, two strong lights shone over. They were much dimmer than the xenon headlights of later generations, which Ji Xia was not used to. However, they were still much brighter than the light from a flashlight.
Ji Xia saw the person in front of him at a glance, and shone the headlights straight at him, making it impossible for Xie Baitang and others to open their eyes. There happened to be a pothole on the road ahead, and Xie Baitang's bicycle wheel rolled over and he fell into the pothole with a plop.
Those behind also rushed up and piled up together like a pile of human figures.
Ji Xia's car was parked about two or three meters away from these people. This place was not far from Jijia Village, and this road led directly to Jijia Village. It was easy to imagine what these people were going to do.
Xie Baitang and his men couldn't even open their eyes. Although the bicycles were not as powerful as cars, it still hurt terribly to be hit. For a moment, the pit was filled with cursing, shouting and wailing, and it was quite lively.
Ji Xia pulled the handbrake and just leaned back in the seat and watched.
Qin Xiao turned his head and glanced at Ji Xia. There was no light in the car and they were close to each other. He could see the sneer at the corner of her lips, which contained a hint of murderous intent and was chilling.
The five people pulled each other and finally got up. They also rescued Xie Baitang who was trapped at the bottom. Xie Baitang was seriously injured. When he fell, the bridle hit his stomach hard, and then he was run over by the wheels rushing up from behind, and all the bones in his body were broken.
The worst thing was that the tip of the seat hit his crotch, causing him so much pain that he felt worse than death. He broke out in cold sweats and was worried that his penis would be damaged.
Xie Baitang and others forced themselves to stand up, not daring to curse. Nowadays, people who drive cars are generally not ordinary people, not to mention that the other party's car has a military license plate.
"Sorry, comrade, we're blocking your way." Xie Baitang was supported by two people and came over to apologize. When Ji Xia rolled down the car window and the two faced each other, Ji Xia sneered, and Xie Baitang's face suddenly turned ashen.
"Where are you going?" Ji Xia asked directly. "This is the road to Jijia Village. Why, as the eldest brother, are you bringing so many people in the middle of the night to visit your own sister?"
Ji Xia knew Xie Baitang's intention without even asking.
Xie Baitang's purpose of coming to Jijia Village was to capture his sister and force Ji Xia to come over. Now that he saw Ji Xia, although Qin Xiao was in the car, the other party had a broken arm and was not a threat. Ji Xia was a woman. Although the five of them were injured to varying degrees, could they not capture a little girl like Ji Xia?
"Ji Xia, since you have fallen into my hands, just come down and follow us. I am your uncle, and I will not harm you. Just explain everything about you clearly. If you are sentenced, I will find a way to get you a few years less." Xie Baitang said shamelessly.
Ji Xia has always known that her uncle is self-righteous. Because he holds an official position, he is particularly important among relatives. She never expected that he would be so arrogant.
"So, you are planning to arrest me at my house?" Ji Xia asked with amusement.
Xie Baitang ignored Ji Xia and threatened her, "If you don't come with us, I'll have to ask your mother to stay at the Revolutionary Committee for a few days."
Ji Xia couldn't help but exert force on the steering wheel, almost removing it. Qin Xiao gently held her hand and whispered, "Calm down!"
Ji Xia laughed in anger and leaned back, "Xie Baitang, you're really great! You finally showed me what it means to be worse than an animal!"
The Xie family has no background. Ji Xia's grandparents were driven out by their family and had to beg in the Happiness Commune where they were taken in. However, Xie Baitang was able to become the deputy director of GWH on his own. He could not have done that without some means.
Xie Baitang's face changed drastically, and he looked at Ji Xia with murderous eyes, "Don't say these useless things. Even if you scold me with the most vicious words, it won't make me lose a piece of meat. You'd better be smart and come down, don't let me alarm your mother!"
Ji Xia sneered. She opened the door and prepared to get out of the car. Qin Xiao grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll go!"
Ji Xia glanced at him, "What are you going to do? Are you going to reason with people? In the past, it was like a scholar meeting a soldier and it was hard to explain the reason, but now the world is the other way around!"
Ji Xia taunted, "I told you not to follow me, but you insisted on following me!"
She pulled out a silk scarf from her all-powerful canvas bag and waved it in front of him, "Close your eyes!"
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment. When Ji Xia leaned over to help tie his eyes, he struggled a little, but he didn't dare to struggle too hard. Firstly, he was not sure he could win, and secondly, he was afraid that if he struggled, he would lose his wife.
Ji Xia got out of the car and turned her wrist, which made a crackling sound. Seeing her fearless look, Xie Baitang felt that something was wrong. Before he could come to his senses, Ji Xia kicked him and kicked him far away. With a splash, he fell into the pond not far away.
In less than half a minute, the other four people were kicked into the pond by Ji Xia.
Although it hasn't snowed yet, the temperature is already very low. At this time of year in previous years, it would have snowed half a month earlier. The weather in the past two days hasn't been right, so it should be snowing soon.
Xie Baitang and others were wearing thick cotton clothes, and after they got wet, they felt freezing cold. Fortunately, the pond was not deep and they all knew how to swim, so they could only swim desperately to the shore.
Ji Xia had already arrived and picked up a stick from the ground. He would hit anyone swimming towards him with the stick, then poke them and push them away.
In the extreme cold, physical strength was lost quickly. Even though these people were in their prime, they could not withstand such torture. Soon, someone begged for mercy.
"Comrade Ji Xia, please give us a way out. We are just following orders!" Wu Renzhong cried.
Ji Xia stood up and clapped his hands. "Okay, as long as you kill Xie Baitang, I'll let you come up."
Several people were extremely shocked. Even in troubled times, most people would not dare to take human lives, let alone now that it was a peaceful time. How could they dare to kill people?
"What, you don't dare? If you don't dare, then just stay in there for a while!" Ji Xia said with a smile.
"We don't dare!" Wu Renzhong cried, "Comrade Ji Xia, it's too cold, we're almost frozen to death. If we stay in here any longer, we'll all die!"
"Yeah, you can choose between me dying or others dying. As long as it's not me dying, it's fine." Ji Xia is not someone who takes human life lightly and does not follow the rules. Her education does not allow her to kill these people here, but she can test people's hearts.
