Chapter 195 Did we run into robbers?
After the three of them left the state-run restaurant, the two men who had already finished their clear soup noodles also came out.
The two men had already finished eating, but they were just sitting there dawdling over their noodle soup, planning to wait for the three of them to finish so they could come out with them.
After going outside, they saw Su Niannian and Gu Nan pushing out bicycles, and their eyes lit up.
“They even have two bicycles! They’re definitely going to pull off a big heist today!” said one of the slightly taller men.
“They have two bicycles and bought so much stuff. Could they have some kind of powerful connections? They’re dressed quite well too,” said another man, slightly shorter than himself, his voice tinged with worry.
If they offend someone they shouldn't, they probably won't have a good ending.
"What are you babbling about here? In this line of work, why are you worrying about so much?"
As he spoke, the tall man patted the short man on the shoulder, signaling him to hurry up and catch up.
"If they get away, it will be hard to find such a fat sheep again!"
The two followed the car for a while and discovered that the direction they were heading was right past their hideout.
"Run a few steps in the direction of our house, then go back and call a few more brothers!"
Upon hearing this, the shorter man nodded and ran even faster.
Gu Nan planned to take Su Niannian and Gu Ningning for a stroll in the park, and then visit the supply and marketing cooperative near the park.
That place is farther from Kaoshan Village, but I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative sells a wider variety of goods.
Anyway, I can just go back to the village the day before dark, so I might as well go a little further.
On the other side, Lu Xingguang also came to the county today.
He wrote home last time asking for money, and judging by the time, he should have received a reply by now.
So, early in the morning, Lu Xingguang rode in Grandpa Jiang's oxcart to the county town.
Of course, Zhao Sulan also wanted to come, but Lu Xingguang refused.
"We're moving today, but if neither of us is here, the move will be a little later," Lu Xingguang said to Zhao Sulan.
Zhao Sulan thought that she should move there as soon as possible so that she could sleep with Lu Xingguang sooner.
So, suppressing her inner urge to go with them, she stayed in the village and moved.
Lu Xingguang came out of the post office with three hundred yuan that his family had wired to him, along with a letter.
It means that he should take good care of his health and not be stingy with money, since he needs to supplement his nutrition when he is sick.
This is because Lu Xingguang had written home before, saying that he was sick.
In short, Lu Xingguang was very happy to have the money.
With the money in hand, they headed straight to the state-run restaurant, intending to have a good meal.
Su Niannian rode a bicycle carrying a basket, while Gu Nan rode a bicycle with Gu Ningning on the back.
We headed straight for a park that was further away.
As I was passing through an alley, four men suddenly appeared in front of me.
Su Niannian recognized one of them at a glance; it was one of the two men who had been watching her from inside the state-run restaurant.
One is missing, but three are extra; this is a gang crime.
Although the other side had more people, Su Niannian was not worried at all.
They not only had confidence in Gu Nan's fighting ability, but also in themselves.
All four men were holding weapons.
But there were no sharp objects like knives.
They were all sticks or clubs.
Gu Nan and Su Niannian's bicycles were stopped.
Looking back, another tall man appeared behind him.
I was quite out of breath from running.
But he still walked over with a wicked grin, carrying a stick.
"We'll rob you, but we won't kill you! If you don't want to get beaten up, leave your stuff and bicycle behind!" said a burly man who was the leader of the four men.
The man also had a long knife scar on his face, running from the base of his ear to his jaw.
He was bald, looked very strong, and had very dark skin—the really dark kind.
He doesn't look like a good person; he also has a violent streak.
It's clear that this is something they do quite often on a regular basis.
Gu Ningning peeked out and saw the group of people in front of her, especially the one in the lead who looked fierce, and she was instantly terrified.
The two hands that were originally holding Gu Nan's clothes clenched tightly, and she shrank back behind Gu Nan.
Gu Nan sensed that his younger sister behind him was scared. He turned to look at Su Niannian.
He was afraid that Su Niannian was also scared, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that everything was fine.
There was even a hint of mockery on the little girl's face.
As long as Su Niannian isn't afraid, Gu Nan calmly got off the bicycle.
I kicked off the bicycle pedals and parked the bicycle.
Then they picked up Gu Ningning and placed her next to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian also parked her bicycle properly, otherwise it would be bad if they started fighting and the bicycle fell to the ground and got hurt.
Seeing this, the five people thought that Gu Nan and Su Niannian were easy to talk to, and their faces immediately lit up with smiles.
"You're quite sensible. I keep my word. I won't lay a finger on you. Now, leave!"
The bald man leading the group was very satisfied with Gu Nan and Su Niannian's performance.
They assumed that for their own safety, they had given up resisting.
Then all I have to do is carry my things and my bicycle.
As it turned out, the person had just walked over and was about two meters away from Gu Nan.
Gu Nan took action immediately.
Gu Nan has been in the army for so long, he is a legend in the army, a king of soldiers, so his skills are naturally top-notch.
Killing two wild boars would be no problem for him, let alone this man.
Gu Nan then launched a flying kick, and the bald man, caught completely off guard, spun 360 degrees and made perfect contact with the ground.
The other four, seeing that Gu Nan had made a move, also rushed forward angrily, grabbing their weapons.
Seeing this, Gu Ningning covered her eyes in fear, not daring to look any longer.
Su Niannian placed her hands on Gu Ningning's shoulders, comforting her, "It's okay, Ningning, don't be afraid." Su Niannian's voice was gentle, and Gu Ningning felt a sense of security by Su Niannian's side.
On the other side, Gu Nan picked up the stick that the bald man had dropped on the ground and swung it around, hitting the nearest person.
The bald man, who had just been kicked down, was about to get up when Gu Nan caught him out of the corner of his eye and kicked him hard in the back again.
The bald man immediately collapsed to the ground again.
His chin slammed heavily onto the ground, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Gu Nan's stick landed on a man, and then he kicked him, sending the short man flying into the air and crashing into the alley wall.
At this moment, the commotion also alerted the residents in the alley, but after peeking out and seeing the fight outside, they silently withdrew their heads and closed their courtyard gates tightly.
In this day and age, it's not easy to have enough to eat and wear and take care of one's own family; nobody wants to meddle in other people's business.
