Chapter 145 Take care of yourself
Unexpectedly, when passing through a narrow alley, there was suddenly a noisy voice around, including "Stop!"
The scolding was particularly harsh.
Xu Xiufang looked up and saw a group of panicked people pouring out of the alley, followed closely by a group of young people wearing red armbands.
Apparently, the secret trading market in the alley has been busted, and the red armbands are hunting down those involved in the illegal trade.
Xu Xiufang didn't want to get involved in this trouble and tried to speed up her bicycle and leave.
However, the crowd is too crowded, and it is easy to be implicated innocently in such a situation. Even if you are innocent, you may be mistaken for a participant.
Therefore, many people who were not involved in the black market also fled in panic.
Xu Xiufang was worried that her stomach would be hit by the panicked crowd, so she didn't dare to ride anymore. Instead, she found a relatively quiet corner and planned to wait until the crowd dispersed before continuing on her way.
At this moment, there was a loud "bang". A man dressed in black with his face covered tightly with a scarf accidentally knocked down Xu Xiufang's bicycle parked in the corner because he was running too fast. He also fell and fell straight at Xu Xiufang's feet.
"Don't run!"
The sound of pursuit from behind was getting closer and closer.
The man in black was terrified. He caught a glimpse of the backpack next to him out of the corner of his eye. Almost instinctively, he threw the package in his hand into the backpack and was about to get up and continue to flee.
Xu Xiufang witnessed all this, and noticed the approaching figure. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she thought to herself: Do you want to drag me into this mess? Originally, she didn't intend to pursue the trivial matter of the bicycle being hit, but if they wanted to use me to escape responsibility... Unfortunately, she was not someone who could be manipulated by others.
In a flash, Xu Xiufang quickly picked up a brick from the roadside and threw it at the back of the man's head without hesitation...
At this moment, the man suddenly looked up, and their eyes met in the air. Xu Xiufang saw his face clearly, and the other party also recognized her.
However, Xu Xiufang's brick had hit his head mercilessly.
"hiss!"
With a cry of pain, the man's scalp was cut, blood flowed down his cheek, and a swollen lump quickly rose on his forehead.
He clenched his teeth and squeezed out two words: "Xu Xiufang!"
The voice was filled with disbelief and anger.
"Zhou Qifeng!"
Xu Xiufang's voice was like a crack in ice, cold and sharp with an edge that could not be ignored.
A sneer appeared on her lips, and she raised the brick in her hand high. With even greater force than before, she hit Zhou Qifeng hard again. The dull sound of the brick colliding with flesh echoed in the air.
"You are crazy!"
Zhou Qifeng screamed and tried to dodge, but fate did not seem to be on his side. He suffered a severe head blow again. The pain made his body sway, and a trace of disbelief and anger flashed in his eyes.
"stop!"
As soon as Zhou Qifeng finished speaking, Hong Xiuzhang chased after him like a cheetah. Zhou Qifeng knew that staying for another second would be dangerous. He did not care about the grudge between him and Xu Xiufang and could only choose to flee this place of trouble in a hurry.
At the moment of escaping, his eyes involuntarily swept over the basket on Xu Xiufang's shoulders, which seemed to contain something important.
Zhou Qifeng hesitated. That was an opportunity to change the situation, but time was running out. In the end, he just said, "You should run too! Take care of yourself!"
After saying this, he continued to run away without looking back.
What a bullshit! Xu Xiufang cursed inwardly. If the situation wasn't urgent and it wasn't suitable to entangle, she would definitely capture Zhou Qifeng with her own hands and hand him over to the soldiers who were chasing after her.
She would never let Zhou Qifeng go easily. She clenched the brick in her hand, aimed at Zhou Qifeng's receding back, and threw another brick hard.
The brick hit the target and Zhou Qifeng's body trembled violently. The severe pain made him almost unable to stand.
He turned around, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness, but found that the pursuers were close at hand. He had no choice but to endure the pain and speed up his escape.
Xu Xiufang quickly used her special ability. With a thought, the items in the backpack seemed to travel through space and were transferred silently to a safe place.
Several teenagers rushed to the scene breathlessly, with fierce and vigilant eyes, and were about to question Xu Xiufang about her relationship with the escapee.
However, Xu Xiufang spoke first, with a hint of urgency and provocation in her voice: "He ran to the east. I have left a deep 'memory' for him. He is injured and can't run far. You should chase him quickly and make sure to catch him! What, why are you still standing there? Chase him quickly, he is a real bad guy, I can't stand people who destroy harmony the most! If I were not physically disabled, I would really like to catch him with my own hands... Oh, you are really useless. I helped you delay for so long, and you just arrived! You are still thinking about resting after you arrive? Your physical strength is not as good as a girl like me? Hurry, he is about to run away, why don't you chase him..."
The teenagers looked at each other in bewilderment. Their originally arrogant demeanor instantly collapsed under Xu Xiufang's rapid-fire sarcasm. Shame and embarrassment were written all over their faces. They forgot their original purpose and instinctively chased in the direction Xu Xiufang pointed.
One of the young men suddenly realized something while running, stopped abruptly, turned around, and fixed his eyes on Xu Xiufang's backpack, and was about to turn back to find out what was going on.
At this moment, Xu Xiufang made a seemingly unintentional move, lightly hooking her toes, and the backpack fell over. The cloth covering it slipped off, revealing the empty inside.
The young man was stunned, his brows furrowed, full of confusion. Could it be that all his previous guesses were wrong?
Xu Xiufang glared at him, as if she wanted to say something. That look that was a mixture of justice and disdain seemed to penetrate the boy's defenses, causing him to shudder all over. Then, as if driven by some force, he rushed forward like a wild horse, chasing after the man he thought was a "bad guy."
He could never admit that he was so confused by a few words from a little woman!
When the figures of those young men completely disappeared from the end of her sight, Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Deep down in her heart, she silently hoped that they could fight for it and preferably capture Zhou Qifeng in one fell swoop.
Then, she leisurely picked up the empty bamboo basket, got on the old bicycle, and started her journey home.
Only when she approached the village entrance and confirmed that there was no one around did Xu Xiufang carefully put the items she had moved earlier back into the bamboo basket.
She checked the things Zhou Qifeng threw in.
Bags of gold and silver jewelry, gold and silver bracelets sparkled brightly in the sunset, jade necklaces were exquisite, and there were a few small gold bars lying quietly among them.
Xu Xiufang knew clearly that these were the life-saving money that Zhou Qifeng's family prepared for him before he went to the countryside.
