Chapter 65

“If you have the guts to rob people, you can’t even handle this little pain. You’re a bunch of cowards.”

Xiao Yichen kicked each of them a few times. “Next time, keep your eyes open. If you dare to speak dirty again, I’ll cut out your tongues.”

Xia Yunxuan, however, was never one to be easily provoked. These men dared to use such vulgar language. They didn’t deserve to speak anymore. Their tongues were useless anyway, just a nuisance to other girls. She took out some medicine she had prepared from her space and quietly sprinkled it on the men. Of course, Xiao Yichen saw what she did.

Xiao Yichen wondered what kind of stuff she had added to the mixture. Could she make medicine? But he hadn’t heard anyone in the village say that she knew how to make medicine.

The two acted as if nothing had happened, riding their bicycles and laughing. But those robbers were in a lot of pain. They didn’t get a single cent, and they were left with broken limbs. Now they were drugged. They couldn’t have been more miserable. When the police arrived, they shook their heads at the sight of the men. They wondered which hero had done this.

But these men deserved it. They were notorious hooligans in town. They loved to rob people and steal. They had just been released from the police station, and now they had probably met their match.

When Xia Yunxuan and Xiao Yichen returned home, it was just after work. They became the most famous people in the village. They each bought a new bicycle, and everyone noticed they were both wearing watches and had bought so much food and clothing. My goodness, how much money did they spend?

They were both fearless and didn’t try to hide anything. They used their own money to buy things, so why hide it? Besides, Xia Yunxuan’s money was clean. She wasn’t afraid of anyone.

She wasn’t going to keep all that money and live a life of fear, drinking plain water, eating vegetables, and wearing patched-up clothes. She might as well hang herself.

It was dinner time, and Xia Yunxuan put on her apron and started preparing dinner. Xiao Yichen helped her wash and chop vegetables. When Gu Beihui came back, he said, “Sister-in-law, you’re finally back.”

Xia Yunxuan saw that Gu Beihui was carrying a bundle of firewood. “When did you get off work? You even picked up a bundle of firewood?”

“Sister-in-law, I finished weeding a little faster today, so I got off half an hour early. I went to the back mountain and picked up a bundle of firewood. I was just going to see what vegetables there were to cook when you came back. Looks like I’ll get to eat Sister-in-law’s cooking again.”

Xiao Yichen said, “Seems like you’re quite smart. You know to work hard and not eat for free.” Gu Beihui said, “Of course, Big Brother. Do I look like that kind of person? After you move into your new house, I still want to eat with you. If I’m not diligent, Big Brother, I dare say you’ll kick me out. You believe me?”

“Heh,” Xiao Yichen said, “Seems like you’ve summed it up pretty well.” Gu Beihui asked obsequiously, “Big Brother, when are you and Sister-in-law going to get your marriage license and get married? I want to drink your wedding wine. Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared the gift money. A full 100 yuan.”

“Xiao Yichen said, “Only 100 yuan? You’re really struggling. I thought you’d at least give 1000 yuan.” Gu Beihui said, “Big Brother, have mercy on me. You know my old man is stingy. He wouldn’t give me that much. This 100 yuan is all I saved from my teeth.”

The three of them were having a good chat, but those men who had been drugged by Xia Yunxuan were in a terrible state. While the police were questioning them, they suddenly couldn’t speak anymore. And something felt very wrong. Were they going to be crippled?

They were confused. This only happened after they encountered those two people. Could they be some kind of demons? Why else would they be able to make them lose their voices? The leader with the big yellow tooth grabbed his neck and kept making “ah, ah” sounds, but no voice came out.

The police were also surprised. These men didn’t seem to be faking it. They were fine earlier. How come they suddenly couldn’t speak? “What’s wrong with you guys?” the police asked. “Weren’t you fine just now?”

The robbers also widened their eyes. They didn’t know either. They suddenly couldn’t speak, and that part of their bodies hurt terribly. They tried to gesture and say that they didn’t know, but it hurt so much. The police finally understood.

One of the police officers said, “Chief, do you think they were drugged? Otherwise, they wouldn’t suddenly lose their voices. And now they’re crippled. They must have been trying to do something bad to those people, but those people were too strong and took care of them. I told you, why was there no commotion when we got there? It was just waiting for us here.”

“In the past, if we caught someone robbing people on the road, we would personally escort them to the police station. The squad leader said, “There are no witnesses. That place is a little secluded. We don’t know who did it.”

The young police officer said, “Captain, it doesn’t matter who did it. These guys deserved it. They don’t know how much money they’ve stolen. Now they’ve finally learned their lesson. This will also be a relief for other people.”

That’s how it was. With the current technology and no witnesses or surveillance, the police had no idea that Xia Yunxuan and Xiao Yichen were the ones who did it. Those robbers became crippled for life.

Gu Beihui asked, “Sister-in-law, I didn’t know they sold women’s bicycles in this small town. You’re so lucky. Wasn’t it only available in Beijing?”

Xia Yunxuan said, “I was lucky. The supply and marketing cooperative director said it was ordered by someone else, but they probably decided it was too expensive and didn’t want it anymore. Otherwise, where would we find a women’s bicycle? Even 28-inch bicycles are rare.”

“Sister-in-law, you and Big Brother each have a bicycle now. I bet a lot of people are envious. But you have to be careful. The people in the village aren’t very honest. I’m afraid they might have bad intentions. You have to keep your bikes safe.”

Xia Yunxuan said, “Don’t worry about that. Your Big Brother and I have some skills. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare be so high-profile. If anyone dares to mess with us, I’ll make sure they come in standing up and leave lying down.”

Xia Yunxuan thought, those guys I drugged must be feeling the effects now. They probably can’t speak anymore. Those useless things should be crippled. Since they were so foul-mouthed, they don’t need to speak anymore. I dare say those doctors now wouldn’t be able to figure out what medicine I used.

Without their tongues, they’re basically eunuchs. Let’s see how they’re going to harm innocent women.
