Chapter 14: Robbery in Distress
One of the tallest men reached out from afar, "Heyβ" loudly attracting Lin Xiaoquan's attention and motioning her to stop. Seeing that something was wrong in front of him, Koizumi braked and stopped when he was still a long distance away from them.
"Boy, we'll let you go if you leave what you've got on you." One of the men said as he approached Lin Xiaoquan.
may be because Lin Xiaoquan's clothes are relatively plain, the overall color system is basically black and gray, with a peaked cap on his head and a large and thick gray cotton mask on his face. In the dim light, several men mistook her for a young man.
While lowering the cap, Xiaoquan let out a vague "Okay-let's go" in a thick voice, saying that it was too late, that time was fast, Lin Xiaoquan threw the schoolbag to the other three people, and frantically pedaled the bicycle and turned around and rode away.
Koizumi didn't dare to look back, so he just blindly rode in the other direction, and even rode onto the wide motorway.
It seems that after riding for a long time, Koizumi felt that his heart was beating so fast that he couldn't breathe, and he probably wore a mask, and the whole person felt suffocated, and his lungs were uncomfortable, so he slowed down the speed of pedaling.
After resting for a while, Koizumi found himself riding back to the civic center and to the central square next to it, getting farther and farther away from the school.
"It seems that there is a way to take another way back to school." Koizumi thought as he found a chair at the edge of the square and sat down, intending to take a break.
After sitting down, Koizumi not only felt sorry for his backpack and the food in the backpack, but also congratulated himself on his decision at the moment, "willing to let the child be a wolf", and used his schoolbag to divert the attention of passers-by and successfully escaped.
Although it is said that the power is out now, Xiao Quan really doesn't dare to take out the water from the Taoyuan space, and there is no place to put a bottle of water on his body. Koizumi could only sit dry, licking his dry lips. At the same time, enjoy yourself in pain and comfort yourself: others are really worried about not eating and drinking at this time, and it is just inconvenient for them to take out food and drink directly, at least they are guaranteed to eat and drink.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Koizumi looked at the mechanical watch he was wearing on his wrist, the time had reached 4:27 in the afternoon, and he estimated in his heart that it would be too risky to take a detour back to school at this time, and there might be people on other roads similar to the people he had just met to rob while the fire was burning. So, she decided to find an indoor "overnight" in the neighborhood and enter the Taoyuan space from the safety of the room.
Lin Xiaoquan looked around, intending to go to the public toilet on the other side of the central square. She pushed her bicycle slowly and walked over, then hid her bicycle in the grass behind the public toilet and entered the dimly lit toilet herself.
The toilet itself has poor lighting, and there is no lighting source, so you can't see your fingers inside. Waiting quietly, trying to prick up his ears in the dark, listening carefully for a while, to make sure that there was no one else in the women's toilet, Lin Xiaoquan entered the Taoyuan space at the corner next to the women's toilet sink.
After entering the Taoyuan space, returning to his safe and comfortable nest and small world, Lin Xiaoquan relaxed.
In order to treat himself, and the time is not too late, Koizumi plans to take care of some of his favorite delicacies tonight.
Leaving the back door of the kitchen of the house, I walked along the river to the vegetable garden at the bottom of the mountain, where Koizumi picked eggplants, beans, and green peppers on the branches, and plucked some tender green chicken hair. I returned to the kitchen with the picked vegetables, took out the fish basket, and went out again to net a few fish. Tonight, Lin Xiaoquan plans to make: roasted eggplant with beans and green peppers, chicken hairy vegetables with tofu skin, steamed sea bass, and then simmer a pot of white rice.
With a full hiccup, Lin Xiaoquan put down the dishes and chopsticks. After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, feeling that the whole person still had a strong sense of satiety, Koizumi paced to the orchard again, picked lemons and passion fruits, and went back to the house to make himself a cup of sweet and sour lemon passion fruit honey drink, which not only consumed food but also strengthened his stomach.
The fruits and vegetables grown in the space are ripe, and the livestock they raise have grown, and if Lin Xiaoquan does not pick them in time, they will naturally age. Before, because I was busy with school, I didn't have much time and energy to take care of the vegetables and fruits in the space, so there was not much storage of vegetables, fruits, grains and meat in the warehouse.
Koizumi thought about the world outside now, and then thought about the characteristics of space, and he had a plan in his heart.
