Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Saving People (Monthly Ticket 60+)

When Xia Xiao arrived, she saw Wang Ergou directing his men to tie people up. Her appearance gave Wang Aihua and the others a glimmer of hope.

Xia Xiao shook her head at them, and Wang Aihua and the others all lowered their heads. Now, Wang Ergou was inching closer to Sun Yuhua, leering at her face with a greasy smile, "What a beauty, a real stunner. This catch is quite a score."

Sun Yuhua awkwardly turned away, but Wang Ergou didn’t mind and just chuckled with a heh heh.

Yang Xuehua glanced in Xia Xiao’s direction before addressing Wang Ergou, "Are you the bandit leader?"

"Oh, the beauty is talking to me. You might not be the top beauty, but you come in a close second. Girls from the city have such an air about them. Don’t worry, once I bring you back to our lair, you’ll be with me. I’ll send her to He Dato."

Wang Ergou moved closer to Yang Xuehua, inhaling deeply and appearing intoxicated. Yang Xuehua felt a wave of nausea and wished she could vomit right there.

"Who knows if you see someone prettier and decide to give me away to someone else," Yang Xuehua continued to parry Wang Ergou’s advances.

At this point, Xia Xiao couldn’t use her spatial ability in front of so many people, so she quietly picked up a brick and started inching towards Wang Ergou, which had the girls inside all worried for Xia Xiao.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, afraid of what would happen if Xia Xiao were discovered at this moment.

Wang Ergou noticed the expressions on the girls’ faces, mistaking their fear for fear of him, and didn’t pay it much mind. Delighted that Yang Xuehua was engaging in conversation with him, his mood was evident. Another thief, busy tying up Dong Meihua, hadn’t noticed Xia Xiao approaching, too fixated on Dong Meihua, even considering taking the plump girl for himself after everything was settled.

Suddenly, Wang Ergou felt something was off. Perhaps a thief’s innate instincts alerted him to the danger. He whirled around just in time to see Xia Xiao’s brick already smashing down hard onto his forehead. With a bang, stars burst before Wang Ergou’s eyes as he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The girls all breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear a voice.

"Don’t move, or I’ll kill her!" One of the thief’s men threatened, pressing a knife against Dong Meihua’s neck.

Xia Xiao picked up a gun from the ground, aimed it at the thief, and asked, "Do you think I will shoot?"

"Put down the gun, or I will kill her," the thief, obviously scared by the gun in Xia Xiao’s hand, stuttered, clearly inexperienced.

"Xia Xiao, put down the gun, or I will die," Dong Meihua screamed in panic.

"Throw the gun over here," the thief demanded again.

With a slap, Xia Xiao tossed the gun far behind her, not giving in to the thief’s demand to throw it to him.

"I’m saying you, looking all gentlemanly, you choose not to follow the right path but to become a thief, even thinking of murder and abduction. Are you not ashamed before your parents?" Xia Xiao spoke out loud.

She was thinking about how to save Dong Meihua, appearing unconcerned on the surface, but inside, Xia Xiao was extremely nervous. If the thief truly became desperate and hurt Dong Meihua, she didn’t know how she’d face the consequences.

"Back off, everyone back off," the thief ordered as he started to retreat towards the door, taking Dong Meihua with him.

"Xia Xiao, what do we do?" Wang Aihua asked.

"I’ll go save Meihua. Sister Aihua, you guys quickly tie him up; it’ll be troublesome if he wakes up. Also, search him to see if he has any weapons," Xia Xiao instructed, pointing at Wang Ergou on the ground.

"Don’t follow me; it’s too dangerous," Xia Xiao warned them. "Some thieves might have guns on them. It’s safer inside than out. If you trust me, don’t go out."

After speaking, Xia Xiao chased after the retreating thief. She watched the thief take Dong Meihua away and took the opportunity to slip unnoticed into her space.

With a smack, as she emerged again, Xia Xiao smacked the thief across the face with the brick.

Ah, Dong Meihua screamed as the thief, struck by Xia Xiao, had his head smashed and bleeding, and his knife clattered to the ground.

"What are you yelling for, quickly drag him back to the dormitory and tie him up," Xia Xiao ordered Dong Meihua.

"Okay, okay," Dong Meihua quickly helped Xia Xiao drag the thief back to the dormitory.

"Xia Xiao, you’re so awesome," the group of female educated youths admired Xia Xiao as if seeing her in a new light.

Xia Xiao tugged at her smile, "Just watch them; it doesn’t matter if they’re crippled, just don’t kill them."

"Xia Xiao, are you going out again?" Wang Aihua asked.

"Yeah, I’m going to check on Aunt Hong, I’m a bit worried about them. The captain, Gao Jiazhi, and Gao Jiaxing are all at the grain storage now, and Aunt Hong might not know what’s happening yet," Xia Xiao said, wanting to find Gao Jiaxing as well as see how Zheng Xianghong was doing.

She couldn’t fight; her self-defense skills were no match for someone truly skilled in fighting. She only relied on her space.

After saying goodbye to the people in the dormitory, Xia Xiao arrived near the grain storage where the sound of gunfire was constant, and the battle had already begun. Xia Xiao, still filled with concern, left one gun in her space but brought out all the others, and, holding several guns, she went towards Gao Jiaxing.

With a bang, Shitou alerted Xia Xiao to duck, and she was suddenly pulled away.

Gao Jiaxing roared, "Are you out of your mind?"

Xia Xiao was startled by his shout and was about to speak when gun shots again came their way.

Gao Jiaxing, while dodging with Xia Xiao, heard her say, "Brother Gao, I came to bring you guns." Saying this, Xia Xiao stuffed the guns into Gao Jiaxing’s arms.

Gao Jiaxing’s eyes brightened, "Nice stuff." Then he looked at Xia Xiao, "Where did you get these?"

"From the thieves, all thanks to this," Xia Xiao flashed the brick she had used, waving it in front of Gao Jiaxing.

Gao Jiaxing was speechless but even more worried about Xia Xiao’s reckless bravery, "You’re incredibly audacious, daring to rob guns with just a brick. Do you have a death wish?"

Saying this, Gao Jiaxing handed the guns over to Gao Guoqiang, "Dad, use these guns," and then pulled Xia Xiao away.

"Brother Gao, where are you taking me?" Xia Xiao panted as Gao Jiaxing dragged her along, totally exhausting her.

Without speaking, Gao Jiaxing quickly led Xia Xiao to his house. The Gao family’s doors were firmly shut. Outside, Gao Jiaxing called out, "Mom, open the door!"

Hearing her son’s voice, Zheng Xianghong immediately opened the door.

Before she could understand what was happening, Xia Xiao was pushed inside by Gao Jiaxing, who then promptly shut the door. "Mom, keep an eye on Xia Xiao, don’t let her run out again."

With that, Gao Jiaxing left.

Xia Xiao was speechless; she had been confined, leaving her frustrated.

"Xia Xiao, come inside quickly, it’s so chaotic, why did you run out?" Zheng Xianghong said to Xia Xiao.

"Aunt, I can’t go in; I have to go back to the dormitory," Xia Xiao said. She still wanted to help out, especially since they hadn’t yet seen the bandit leader.
