Chapter 24 p2
After the transaction was over, Ji Yang didn’t stay long and left directly.
The exchange point was generally the same as in her previous life. She was tired of it and didn’t want to waste any time. She first rode her motorcycle to a hidden place to change her equipment. After changing into her ice skates, she put the jade in her space and saw the space instantly expand by nine hundred square meters!
Then, she put Xixi in her hiking backpack and began to skate.
At this time, she couldn’t help but pray, Why not have another snowstorm? At least to the point where I can walk normally without slipping.
This dog was really heavy now.
As she skated, she attracted a lot of attention along the way. They probably hadn’t expected her to be so well-equipped.
But when she casually turned into an alley, a passerby wanted to say something.
But he was stopped by the person next to him.
A faint whisper quickly disappeared into the world. “That’s the Black Dragon Gang’s territory! There’s going to be trouble.”
“Shut up. If the Black Dragon Gang finds out, we’ll definitely be retaliated against.”
“…”
Ji Yang didn’t hear it, but as she was walking, she suddenly noticed that the color of the road ahead was a little wrong.
Years of being cheated had made her vigilant, and she immediately slowed down. By the time she was nearby, she had already stopped. She saw a thin steel rope lying flat on the ground about ten meters ahead.
They probably hadn’t expected her to be able to stop. The two ends of the steel rope moved.
Ji Yang looked at the entrance of the alley ahead.
This was a major intersection, with a right-angle bend on both sides, perfect for hiding people. In fact, if Ji Yang had crossed this intersection and was fast enough, she could have escaped, but she had stopped.
Then, about ten people immediately rushed out from both sides and quickly surrounded Ji Yang. Each of them was holding a weapon. When they saw Ji Yang’s equipment and the big dog on her back, their eyes went straight, and they were speechless for a few seconds.
Fortunately, the person in the lead was the first to come to his senses and shouted, “This road is under the control of our Black Dragon Gang. Don’t you know you have to pay a toll to pass through here?!”
Another person immediately echoed, “That’s right, a toll. Seeing that it’s not easy for a little girl like you, just leave this dog behind and we’ll let you go. How about it?!”
Ji Yang’s tone immediately became panicked. “Don’t. I’ll leave the dog here. Don’t come over!”
Her goggles and scarf blocked her expression, but the panic in her tone was obvious, easily making a group of men let down their guard.
“Alright, hurry up. If you’re slow, it’s hard to say what will happen…” one of them teased, and the other few men immediately chuckled lewdly.
Someone also muttered, “I’m starting to regret it. We should have let her stay too. Brother, why don’t we let her stay and play for a while?”
The few people who heard this’s eyes darkened.
Just at this moment, Ji Yang squatted down and opened her hiking backpack. The big white and black spotted dog inside was panting, its big, dark eyes looking extremely harmless.
Someone couldn’t help but want to step forward.
Just as he got a little closer, the big dog that had just been released from the hiking backpack directly pounced on him. Ji Yang also quickly took out a crossbow from her bag and aimed it at them, pulling the trigger.
With a “thump.”
It hit one of them right in the eye, and the person fell.
Ji Yang quickly changed her arrow and continued to fire.
And this change of events almost scared the ten or so people to death. Some things were too unexpected. Who would have thought that a little girl who was clearly very scared would kill someone as soon as she made a move.
And that big dog, it was clear that it had seen blood.
They were basically a mob. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been sent to guard the streets and cheat survivors. When they encountered a tough nut to crack, their first reaction was to run. They even subconsciously threw their weapons at Ji Yang. This was their last counterattack.
Ji Yang was wearing ice skates and easily dodged them, then quickly chased after them.
One fell after another.
Xixi also took care of one person and then quickly chased after the next. But the ice was too slippery, and it fell after running two steps. In the end, it was so angry that it kept roaring, “Woof woof woof!!!”
Fortunately, Ji Yang’s arrows were fast enough and directly killed the other party, and only then did Xixi shut up.
Two people, seeing that they couldn’t escape, directly swung the cleavers in their hands at Ji Yang. “Even if I die, I’ll take you with me!”
Very spirited.
Just not capable enough.
Ji Yang directly raised her foot and kicked. The ice skate hit the man’s arm. With a “crack,” after the man’s tragic scream, the cleaver in his hand fell, and he knelt on the ground, clutching his broken right hand with his left, exposing his back.
Ji Yang directly gave him an arrow from above.
Then, she quickly moved away to avoid the other person’s attack. While moving, the moment the arrow was on the string, she decisively shot.
“Thump!” another person fell.
When she came to her senses, there was no one standing around her.
Done and dusted!
—
Ji Yang clapped her hands. Xixi stumbled over. Ji Yang put it back in her bag, carried it, and continued towards Jiafu Community.
This place was not far from Jiafu Community. Skating would only take five minutes.
Ji Yang guessed that the ones who had come to the community to collect protection fees last time were the Black Dragon Gang. She knew about this gang. In the early days, when the government was in a mess, a murderer had taken advantage of the chaos to lead a group of small hooligans to form a gang.
But with the frequent natural disasters, this gang had actually grown stronger and stronger, controlling all the surrounding communities and turning them into their cattle and horses. The little bit of supplies they had worked so hard to get were all handed over. Even when the government was selling grain in limited quantities, this gang still relied on sucking the marrow from the bones of ordinary survivors and had a warehouse of grain.
In the early days, no one dared to report them because all the survivors had hostages in their hands. In addition, they would put on a show. For various reasons, they had been throwing their weight around.
In the end, they were wiped out by the government. It was because after the torrential rains and floods, the grain was destroyed, and the leader of the Black Dragon Gang even exploited the high-level members of the gang. So, there was a mutiny and internal strife, which led to lax management at the bottom. Only then did the survivors dare to run and report them. It just so happened that the government rescue team discovered what this group of people was doing and immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress them.
Ji Yang only remembered it when she ran into them this time.
So it was such a damn gang!
In her previous life, she had been heartbroken over that waterlogged grain for a long time.
Since she remembered, she had to think of a way to let the government know in advance. At the very least, she had to wipe out this group of people before the end of the extreme cold. Otherwise, she would suffer a huge loss!
Ji Yang thought that next time she went to trade, she would reveal a little to Luo Laosan. Wasn’t his boss very familiar with the government? If they knew this news, it was impossible for the government to remain indifferent.
The reason they weren’t doing anything now was because the situation was special. There was a lack of surveillance, and everyone was dressed thickly. Even their parents wouldn’t recognize them when they went out. Without anyone reporting them and revealing the details, even if government officials came to their door, they wouldn’t know that this group of people was a black and evil gang behind their backs.
And the leader of the Black Dragon Gang was said to have a gun, which was a sufficient deterrent. He even raised a group of old people who were particularly good at making a scene and that people didn’t dare to touch, just to check and balance the government.
Of course, now there was her.
Ji Yang thought of various plans. Besides the Black Dragon Gang, there were several other gangs that she also remembered. Because after they were encircled and suppressed, this group of people were all shot and their notices were posted on the bulletin board. It would be best to find a way to tell them all at once…
Soon, she also returned to Jiafu Community.
This time, as soon as she entered the community, Ji Yang still felt many gazes.
But unlike the previous gazes filled with fear and hatred, it was like schadenfreude?
She was puzzled by this situation. When she walked into the building, she ran into a few survivors who had just moved into Building 9. When they looked at her, besides reverence and fear, there was also a hint of hesitation.
In the end, they didn’t say anything.
The two parties went their separate ways.
Ji Yang had a gut feeling that something was wrong. Had something happened in the community again? Or was someone ambushing her again?
Her vigilance was at its highest, but it was still quiet all the way home.
Ji Yang was not a person who dwelled on things. Since nothing had happened by the time she got home, then there was even less to worry about. She decisively lay down to rest. She had only been out for a little over an hour, but she still missed the warm sofa.
She lay down on the sofa and began to take care of the extra nine hundred square meters of land.
At present, the land was very empty.
There were a total of three thousand three hundred and fifty square meters. Two hundred were for chickens, ducks, geese, and other livestock, two hundred were for rabbits, nine hundred and fifty square meters were for medicinal herbs, three hundred and fifty square meters were for potatoes, Chinese cabbage, sweet potatoes, etc., six hundred square meters were for various fruits, one hundred and twenty square meters were for the house, and thirty square meters were for fruit trees.
Of the remaining nine hundred square meters, after looking at the entire layout of the living space, she decided to use three hundred and fifty square meters to sow various grass seeds and expand the breeding area as needed.
The remaining five hundred and fifty square meters would continue to be used to grow medicinal herbs.
The latter was more troublesome, but fortunately, it could be done with mental power. Ji Yang could finish it while lying on the sofa.
In this aspect, she had never had procrastination, so the afternoon passed just like that.
By the time Ji Yang had finished planting the medicinal herbs and was resting, it was already five in the afternoon.
Just as she was about to take out dinner to eat, Xixi suddenly ran to the door.
Then came a knock on the door.
Looking at Xixi’s reaction, it didn’t seem like a stranger. Ji Yang went directly to open the door. Just as she opened the first door, she heard Li Yi’s voice, “Ji Yang! I have something very important to tell you.”
Ji Yang opened the door and looked at her curiously. “What is it?”
Li Yi’s face was very ugly, and she said first, “My grandmother told me that a group of government officials came over today. They were looking for you. I don’t know who reported you for illegally possessing a gun, and the government sent people over to investigate!”
“You weren’t at home, so they asked the residents of this building one by one about the specific situation. My grandparents just said they didn’t know. They really don’t know anything, and they haven’t even seen a gun. Most of the people in the building have just moved in, so they probably didn’t say anything bad about you. They don’t know anything either. But there are still a few families who have been living here all along, such as the ones upstairs and two households downstairs. Some of their family members were among the people who ambushed you before.”
Li Yi was so anxious that she was about to jump up and down. “Why don’t you run now? These two families will definitely not say anything good about you. What if the government really believes them… If you run away, in the current situation, with the sky being high and the emperor being far away, they won’t be able to pursue the matter.”
