I glanced up at my cave and felt a pang of sadness.
It seems that Lin Xubo and his men have already stolen most of the things in the cave.
This group of people are really good at robbing and extorting.
But when I took a few female colleagues to look for Wang Ping and the others yesterday, I had already prepared for the worst, so I'm not very surprised now.
Instead, he looked at Wang Ping.
Wang Ping nodded, picked up his gun, and walked to the side of the deck. He looked at Bai Wei and the group of foreigners who had been caught red-handed by them.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? This is our stuff!"
"Your things? Where does it say they're yours? You all left back then, and I thought it was because I wanted you to help us catch short-legged birds, but you ran away when you couldn't catch them. Coming back to take your things is just compensation, right? Are you suggesting we just give you our bundle of rope for nothing?"
Lin Xubo was arrogant and haughty, while the group of foreigners couldn't understand what we were saying at all. They were carrying things from Bai Wei's boat in small, messy ways.
"You can't just come and take ours like this. Besides, we'll catch that short-legged bird sooner or later. What, are you in a few days' rush?"
Liu Jiaojiao became much more assertive, and frowned as she looked at Lin Xubo.
Lin Xubo glanced at us but didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up a basket woven from vines from Bai Wei's deck and threw it onto the boat with a thud.
"We only took what we needed, so you can keep it yourselves. Oh, and by the way, if you really can't find those short-legged birds, we won't make things difficult for you, just forget about them."
After saying that, he turned around, jumped off the deck, and quickly ran to the side of the group of foreigners' boat, his buttocks tucked in.
Bai Wei was so angry he was practically fuming. He scrambled onto the deck and climbed onto the boat. After circling the cabin once, he came out and started cursing loudly in Lin Xubo's direction.
"You're a beast! We've worked together for so many years, don't you even know how I treated you? What you're doing now is helping outsiders bully our own people! You're a complete scoundrel who can't tell right from wrong!"
Looking at Bai Wei's face and his furious appearance, I knew that there probably wasn't much left in his cabin.
Wang Xiaoxiao looked worriedly in the direction of our cave, exchanged a glance with Xiao Qiang, and then hurriedly turned and went back into the cave.
I had already given up all hope of what was inside the cave.
After all, Lin Xubo and I had the deepest grudges among this group. Now that I'm gone, Lin Xubo will naturally use all his skills to take revenge.
Wang Ping's face was also grim. He sighed and looked at me, "What are we going to do? We didn't have many supplies to begin with, and now Lin Xubo has taken this opportunity to plunder us. I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive..."
A female colleague stood outside the crowd, muttering complaints: "It's all because Zhao Sihai insisted on going out, otherwise, Lin Xubo would never have taken advantage of our situation to loot our camp! Now we have nothing, we're just waiting to starve to death."
After my female colleague finished speaking, she gave me a look of dissatisfaction.
I couldn't be bothered arguing with a woman, but at that moment, Xu Wei, who was standing next to me, snorted coldly and turned to look at the female colleague, instantly exuding an aura of immense power.
"You're hilarious! Do you think life is more important or these things? What use are these things if we're all dead? Brother Sihai went to save us back then. If he hadn't gone to find us, we'd all be dead by now! And Chen Jian is so badly injured, instead of thinking about how to treat his wounds, you're here complaining about Brother Sihai! I think you're really biting the hand that feeds you! Come on, Brother Sihai, let's ignore them! A bunch of ingrates!"
As Xu Wei spoke, she grabbed my shoulder, trying to pull me back into the cave.
I was indeed a little worried about the situation in the cave, so I nodded at Wang Ping.
"You take care of Chen Jian first. I'll go back to the cave in a bit, find some herbs, and bring them over to you. Even if the things inside are gone, as long as he's still here, there's always a way. Don't worry too much."
Wang Ping nodded, but then turned back to look at his female colleague and frowned.
The female colleague fell silent after being teased by Xu Wei, looking quite dissatisfied.
Xu Wei, panting, dragged me to the bottom of the cave. Suddenly, she turned to look at me, her eyes reddening, and threw herself into my arms, bursting into tears.
"Brother Sihai risked his life for these people, but instead of thanking you, they complained about you. Let's leave them alone from now on!"
Looking at Xu Wei's pitiful appearance, I felt both annoyed and amused, so I patted her head and gently comforted her.
"To be honest, I was indeed rash in this matter. If I hadn't gone yesterday, perhaps our camp could still be saved, and our situation wouldn't be so bad."
Xu Wei pursed her lips but remained silent, while Xiao Qiang called out to me from the cave entrance halfway up the mountain.
When I looked up, I saw that Xiao Qiang's face looked rather unpleasant. I quickly went into the cave and found that the entire cave had been ransacked.
The straw bed we had prepared was now a complete mess, with planks and hay scattered everywhere. The liquor that had been stored in the cave was gone, as was the fruit wine that Xu Wei and the others had brewed.
I was startled and immediately started searching for the bullets I had hidden under the bed.
After rummaging through it, I finally found a cloth bag and breathed a sigh of relief.
The bullets are still here, so I will definitely not let Lin Xubo and his gang take these things for nothing.
Xiao Qiang was biting her lip and about to cry, so I quickly hugged her and patted her shoulder.
"It's alright, just relax and tidy up in this cave. See what's missing, and I'll go get it back."
"Hmph, Lin Xubo and his gang never intended for us to get it back when they stole it. And not only did we lose our jerky, but we also caught two bears, and all that wine is gone! And all the clay pots and pans we made are smashed, and the mirror is broken too... Damn it, I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
As Xiao Qiang spoke, she grabbed a broken piece of a mirror from the ground and was about to rush out of the cave.
I quickly grabbed her, feeling sorry for her.
"Don't worry, leave all these things to me. Whatever he took from you, I'll make him pay back twofold."
To be honest, I feel extremely resentful, because this cave contains a lot of my hard work, and now it's all gone.
Moreover, I never imagined that Lin Xubo would be even more ruthless than I had thought.
Since he's already gone this far, don't blame me for not giving him face.
After saying that, I stuffed a pocketful of bullets into my pocket, loaded all the guns, and went straight down the mountain, heading towards the ship of Lin Xubo and his group of foreigners.
