Chapter 73: Chapter 72 Criticism

Xia Xiao said, "Don’t worry, stay in the dorm, don’t go anywhere, take all the weapons with you, and if you see a strange man, just hit him. If not to death, at least beat him half to death so he can’t hurt you."

"Xia Xiao, you’re ruthless," said the girl from the next dorm, looking at Xia Xiao with fear.

Xia Xiao rolled her eyes, "It’s up to you whether you listen to me or not." Having said that, Xia Xiao was about to walk out when Yang Xuehua hurriedly said, "Xia Xiao, where are you going?"

"I’m going to help; you all just stay in the dorm and don’t leave, just make sure to have your weapons ready," Xia Xiao was thinking about the thieves’ weapons and was figuring out how to knock the people out and steal their weapons.

"Xia Xiao, I’ll go with you," Xu Mei tugged on Xia Xiao’s clothes.

Xia Xiao shook her head, "No need to follow me, it’s not necessarily safe with me." Xia Xiao didn’t want them to follow her, and even though everyone had learned self-defense, they had no real combat experience. Going out would just slow her down; it was better to stay put. If the thieves came, it would be good enough if everyone managed to fend them off.

"Xia Xiao, then be careful. Everyone else should stay," said Wang Aihua.

"Gege, when we see the target, I will dart into the space, and then you aim for his back, and I’ll hit him with a brick to knock him out," Xia Xiao said.

"Okay."

"It would be best if we encounter one with a gun; we can take the opportunity to grab it," Xia Xiao added.

"Okay."

After reaching an agreement with Shitou, Xia Xiao said, "Then hurry up, let’s go check it out."

"Xiaoxiao, get ready, I see a thief with a gun trying to sneak into the village," Shitou announced.

"Ready," Xia Xiao, holding the brick tightly, felt her heart pounding. It was her first time doing something like this, and she wasn’t as calm as she appeared, even very nervous.

"Remember, you come out and immediately hit with the brick, and if it’s wrong, come back in right away," Shitou instructed.

"Okay"

"I’ll count to three."

"Okay"

"1, 2, 3..."

Xia Xiao practically blinked out of the space and swung her arm to throw the brick even before she could clearly see if there was anyone in front of her; anyway, throwing the brick was all that mattered.

Using all her might, like a child pulling at a mother’s teat, Xia Xiao thought she heard the sound of bones cracking as she promptly hit with another brick.

Thud, Xia Xiao saw the person in front of her spitting blood, falling forward.

"Throw me over to hit his head, and he’ll pass out," Shitou said.

Upon hearing that, Xia Xiao immediately threw Shitou at the man’s head, and saw the man’s head drop, completely collapsing to the ground.

"Gege, is he dead?"

"No, just knocked out. Grab his gun quickly and get out of here; you’ve caused him internal injuries," Shitou responded.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiao quickly grabbed the gun from the man’s hand, looked at the unlucky man one more time, his face indeed looking like that of a villain.

After taking the gun, Shitou said, "He also has a knife on him, near his calf."

Xia Xiao then found a dagger in the man’s thigh, and her eyes lit up as she took it.

"Fuck, where’s Big Teeth? How come no one who went in has come out?" Wang Ergou cursed outside, feeling that it was highly unusual for none of the scouts sent in to have reported back.

"Go find Big Teeth for me." Wang Ergou growled, "Fuck, if Big Teeth dares screw things up, I’ll make him regret it forever."

But soon the men Wang Ergou had sent out came back carrying Big Teeth instead—it was the unlucky sod who had been hit with Xia Xiao’s brick.

"We heard the sound of gunfire, and when we got there, we saw Big Teeth on the ground, and his gun was nowhere to be seen."

"Shit, we’ve been discovered. Go tell He Dato that the people from Guangming Production Team have caught on, and warn He Dato to be extra careful. These motherfuckers from Guangming Production Team have really pulled a fast one on us, storm the fucking place, I want to see what tricks Guangming Production Team has up their sleeve."

Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, they sneaked towards the production team, "You guys steal the grain to support He Dato’s group, and you two come with me to grab hostages."

"Brother, I might as well use your head to knock theirs out. One hit and they’re sure to pass out, no need for bricks," Xia Xiao said.

"That’s no good, what if you miss? It’s too dangerous. You should use the brick first, or you could use a knife or a gun."

Xia Xiao examined the gun, trying to guess whether it was a rifle or a shotgun; either way, she didn’t recognize it.

"Let’s move on." Having experienced one success, Xia Xiao felt braver and seemed to have gained some experience.

With several slaps, Xia Xiao took down a few more men, acquiring another gun and two knives, leaving her gasping for air.

After drinking a couple of swigs of spring water, she continued with her brick-smacking, "Slap slap slap," taking down two more.

"Awesome, we’re really in sync." With a smile, Xia Xiao admired the two rifles and several knives in the space—it was quite the haul.

"Let’s go, we need to get a gun to Gao Jiaxing," Xia Xiao told Shitou.

She emerged from the hiding place, only to hear screaming and the bang-bang-bang of gunshots, "That’s coming from the dormitories, not good, we need to hurry over."

At this point, Wang Ergou and his two men had sneaked up to Youth Point, with one thief entering first, and he ended up taking the brunt of it.

Covered in dirt and even spitting blood, it was clear how hard the female educated youths had hit back.

So Wang Ergou opened fire, and the female educated youths were immediately frightened, confronted by the glaring gun barrel and faces filled with terror.

Dawn was breaking now, the sky starting to brighten, and Wang Ergou smirked.

"See, this is a gun. Now, girls, if you all behave, I won’t hurt you. But if you don’t, don’t blame my gun for not having eyes."

Wang Aihua and the others didn’t dare to move, their minds racing for strategies; some of the female educated youths had already started screaming and even crying.

Wang Ergou laughed heartily, "Oh, each and every one of you is so spirited. Big Teeth was right, you city girls are indeed much prettier than the country bumpkins."

"Bind them all up." Wang Ergou ordered his men, "Tie them up tight, these are our hostages. But don’t hurt them; these city girls, even out in the countryside, have such tender flesh."

Wang Ergou’s leering made all the female educated youths feel sick.

"Ai Hua, what do we do?" Yang Xuehua said anxiously.

"Don’t do anything rash, someone will come to save us. Plus, we are hostages, at least for now, we’re safe." Wang Aihua eyed Wang Ergou’s gun and clenched her teeth, feeling helpless against it.

If they didn’t have guns, they would fight, but guns don’t have eyes.

"Wang Ergou, we’re running out of rope," a thief said.

"Tie up the spirited ones first." Wang Ergou pointed at Sun Yuhua, Yang Xuehua, Dong Meihua, and Xu Mei, "Bind them up first."
