"Really?" Lin Lan hurriedly squeezed the brakes and turned around to see a middle-aged man in blue work clothes running out of the broken house quickly, holding his bloody wrist.
She thought of the scenes in the movie. Usually there were scenes like this. Most of the gangsters' weapons were shot down by the police or opponents. She and Yang Liying had been doing things all year round. She also had the self-defense skills of a two-handed cat. The two of them had to deal with an injured person.
It shouldn't be a problem for men.
The middle-aged man who escaped from the broken house saw the two people standing in front of him and immediately had an idea: grab the bicycle and run away. If he couldn't grab it, he would kidnap one and force the police to let him go.
Before Yang Liying had time to call Yang Dingbang, she found the gangster running towards us and exclaimed: "He is running towards us."
Lin Lan said in a deep voice: "Smash him with a package!"
Yang Liying let go of one package, raised the other and threw it hard at the charging gangster. The gangster raised his hand to block, but he staggered and fell to the ground unexpectedly due to the weight of the package.
Lin Lan pushed his bicycle and bumped into the gangster. He hit the big golden deer on the gangster with a clang, picked up the package on the ground and hit him on the head: "Go to hell!"
The gangster's head buzzed, and he quickly opened the package without caring about the big golden deer on his body. Lin Lan stepped on the calf bone with his foot. There was a crisp crack, and the leg bone was broken by her.
"I'll beat you to death!" Yang Liying picked up the broken bricks on the ground and threw them at him, leaving a bloody hole in his head.
Before the middle-aged man fainted and died, he stared at the two of them with a look that was worse than death: If I had known this, I would rather be caught by the police than beaten by two women.
Yang Dingbang limped out of the dilapidated house and saw Lin Lan and Yang Liying breathing heavily, looking at the unconscious gangster with their hands on their hips: "Third sister, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
He looked at the two people and thought, no wonder the great man said that women can hold up half the sky. Who would have expected that this cruel and cunning guy would be captured by two unarmed country women.
Seeing that he was wearing plain clothes, Lin Lan thought that he must be performing a secret mission, so without asking any questions, he pointed to the package on the ground and said, "We went to buy cloth."
Yang Liying looked at his legs, hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked worriedly: "Dingbang, are you injured?"
"It's okay! Handcuff him first." Yang Dingbang took out the handcuffs, and the two of them stepped forward to help. They dragged the culprit to the roadside and handcuffed him to a tree beside the road. They looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"
"No!" Yang Liying helped him sit on the roadside and looked at his legs: "Dingbang, your legs are bleeding. We will take you to the hospital."
Lin Lan also glanced at his leg, opened the package, found a white cotton strip from the bag and handed it to him, "We need to stop the bleeding. You guys are here, I will ride to the nearby police station to report the crime!"
Yang Dingbang took it and wrapped it around the wound: "No, my colleague is behind and will be there soon." He thought for a moment, worried that there were still hidden spies, and if they found out, he would retaliate against them, so he said to the two of them, "You go first
Go back and don’t tell others what happened today.”
Lin Lan and Yang Liying thought about his work and nodded: "Let's go back first."
Yang Dingbang nodded: "Yes! You should be careful."
Yang Liying sat behind Lin Lan and said with lingering fear: "We stayed at home and in the eucalyptus forest all day long and never went out. I didn't expect the gangsters outside to be so powerful and not even afraid of guns."
Lin Lan felt that the man just now was definitely not an ordinary gangster. Thinking of the spy movies he had watched before, he thought that man might be a spy: "Thanks to heroes like Dingbang and the others, we can get rid of the bad guys for the people, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."
As she said that, she suddenly remembered the sentence: The so-called prosperous and peaceful times are just about people carrying a heavy burden and moving forward!
Yang Liying thought the same thing: "It's just that the job in Dingbang is too dangerous. If my uncle knows about it, why should he worry about it?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Don't tell my uncle yet, so as not to worry her."

Li Xiangyang rode his bicycle to deliver Lin Lan's household items for the stall to her house. Seeing that the courtyard door was open, he rode straight into the courtyard.
Wu Shufen heard the noise, came out of the kitchen and looked at him cheerfully: "Xiang Yang is here!"
"Auntie!" Li Xiangyang nodded with a smile, "Xiaolan and Sister Zhou went shopping together and will be back later."
Wu Shufen looked at him with a smile on her face: "It's okay, come in and sit down for a while."
"I'm not tired!" Li Xiangyang took down the household items and put them on the eaves, took out the pork belly that Lin Lan asked for, and took out two bottles of wine and handed them to Wu Shufen, "Where are brother and the others?"
Wu Shufen took it and put it on the small table. She smiled and pointed to the private land outside: "They are digging outside!"
Li Xiangyang nodded: "I'll pick up Xiaolan."
"Hey! When you come back, we will have dinner." Wu Shufen carried the pork belly into the kitchen and touched the steamer. It was already steaming. Then she looked at the duck stewed with dried mushrooms in the sand pot.
I fished out some pickled peppers and pickled ginger from the kimchi jar and prepared to cook the kimchi and watercress fish.
Li Xiangyang rode his bicycle and approached the entrance of the alley. He saw Lin Lan riding out of the alley. He stopped and looked at the package held by Yang Liying. He quickly got out of the car and took it. He found that it was quite heavy: "I bought so much, is it very cheap?"
"Yeah!" Lin Lan smiled and nodded, "It's much cheaper than department stores."
Yang Liying smiled and said: "I've seen it. The stains on it are not serious. You can just go back and wash it. I have never bought such cheap and good materials."
"As long as you like it!" Li Xiangyang looked at the two of them looking like they had found a treasure. He smiled and put the package in the back seat of the car and tied it up with a rope, "Let's go!"
Lin Lan nodded and patted the back seat of the car: "Third sister, get in the car."
The three of them rode back to the door of Lin Lan's house. Yang Liying and Wu Shufen said hello and hurried away with the package regardless of their attempts to stay.
Wu Shufen saw that the package Li Xiangyang was carrying was larger than that carried by Yang Liying, so she hit her lightly: "It's not easy to make money. To buy so many materials, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!"
"They are all defective products. They didn't cost much." Lin Lan said and glanced at the kitchen, "Where are Douzi and Big Brother?"
"In the private plot, I'll call them back for dinner." Wu Shufen said and walked out of the courtyard.
Lin Lan opened the door to the main room and watched Li Xiangyang put his bicycle in the main room and put the package on the Eight Immortals table. Thinking about Yang Dingbang's injury, the old lady probably didn't know yet: "Xiangyang, I'm going to call my uncle and Dandan to come over for dinner."
"I'll go, I'll walk fast." Li Xiangyang said and strode away.
Lin Lan took the parcels on the Eight Immortals' table to the room and put them away. He dragged the table toward the door, moved the benches stacked against the wall and put them away, then went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
On the stove were placed around the edge of the pot, fish with pickled peppers and watercress, old duck soup stewed with mushrooms, a pot of old duck with roasted taro, a large plate of dry-stewed fat sausage, cold shredded lettuce, and stir-fried lettuce leaves.
She swallowed her saliva and said, "It's really delicious, delicious, and my mother's craftsmanship can open a restaurant to make farm dishes and sell them."
