Chapter 32 My Brother Bai has unconventional methods and strong connections.
The group of men forgot about pulling the pigs and all rushed towards the lights.
The road was slippery, and a tricycle spun around, almost tipping over. The young man riding it was thrown off and rolled on the ground.
Gu Qingyi's martial arts training was effective; she pressed down on the tricycle with both hands, slid back several meters, and finally stopped it.
The men quickly surrounded him and helped the fallen young man up.
The woman rushed over anxiously, tripped and fell on the way, and lost consciousness.
"Zhichao, Zhichao..."
She looked around the carriage in a panic at the unconscious young man.
"Comfort this lady, let me check on him first." Gu Qingyi quickly checked on Zhichao's condition.
Gu Bai pinched it with his hand, his gaze falling on his neck, where a large lump had swollen up, filled with insect eggs that were migrating into his body.
Besides that, there was also a chilling aura circulating in Zhichao's body, which was the aura of the old popsicle.
"Zhichao, security, please help me! You must save my Zhichao..."
The woman looked at the large lump around her neck and panicked. She instinctively grabbed Gu Qingyi and began to plead.
"Auntie, don't panic, I brought some medicine." Gu Qingyi reassured her, then quickly took out a syringe from her bosom: "Gu Bai, shine the light on me and find a vein."
Gu Bai turned on his phone's flashlight, but the light was dim.
"Use this." Old Bai took out a flashlight and shone it on Zhichao, which was very bright. At the same time, he said, "You guys keep an eye on Auntie. Don't worry, Auntie, the security guard brought medicine. Zhichao will definitely be fine."
"Auntie, go rest over there and don't disturb the peace." The two men quickly helped the woman to the side.
Gu Qingyi then said, "Gu Bai, go to the bag in the car, there's a first-aid kit inside, can you get it for me?"
"Okay." Gu Bai turned and left.
Gu Qingyi's voice rang out again: "Take the walkie-talkie too, and call for nearby security support."
Gu Bai took the walkie-talkie from her and strode towards the truck: "Baijiaying, Lao Bai's farm, mosquitoes have been found biting people. Calling for backup."
"receive."
"Received, coming right away."
"Brother Bai, is that you, Brother Bai?" a voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Guo Jin!
I forgot that this thing was in Huai Shu Village nearby.
"Brother Bai, don't be afraid, I'll bring men right away." Guo Jin said excitedly, "Brother, come with me to rescue Brother Bai. Let me tell you, my Brother Bai is an upright man. I got into the Public Security Bureau only because my Brother Bai pulled some strings... My Brother Bai has connections and powerful backers..."
Gu Bai: "..."
Before you start bragging, could you please turn off the walkie-talkie first?
Now everyone knows you got in through connections.
I'm just a pig handler, not as awesome as you make me out to be.
"Ahem, everyone, I'm just a pig handler, I don't have that kind of skill," Gu Bai coughed lightly and explained.
"receive."
"clear."
"..."
What do you understand?
How did I, a low-key white-collar professional, suddenly become so resourceful and well-connected?
Gu Bai, carrying a first-aid kit, approached the tricycle and opened it: "What do you need?"
"Scalpel, disinfectant, gauze, sutures, transparent bag." Gu Qingyi had already finished her injection and put on a mask. "Fix the flashlight here. You all leave. I need to pry open the lump on his neck and squeeze out the toxins."
Upon hearing the word "poison," everyone quickly moved away, and Gu Bai also retreated three meters away.
Zhichao remained unconscious, which saved the need for anesthesia.
The scalpel made a cut, and a foul stench wafted out, along with a fishy, yellowish liquid mixed with black insect eggs, which flowed into the transparent bag.
She carefully cleaned up the insect eggs, using a specially made disinfectant for mosquitoes.
The young man was also helped over.
Old Bai squatted down and asked, "Hanzi, what happened?"
Whether from the cold or from fright, Hanzi shivered: "No, I don't know. Zhichao suddenly rushed into my house, shouting that he needed to find the police. I called the police but no one answered. I thought that Uncle Bai's place had a police station, so I dragged him over."
"Is there absolutely nothing unusual?" Gu Bai asked.
"Abnormal?" Hanzi shook his head blankly.
Old Bai lit a cigarette and held it to his lips: "Calm down and think it over."
As he spoke, he stood up and offered cigarettes to everyone around him before saying, "Boss Gu, do you think we could wait a bit before bringing this pig?"
"Then let's wait a bit," Gu Bai said.
Now that something has happened in the village, these villagers have lost interest in transporting pigs.
"That's right, mosquitoes, it's mosquitoes!"
Hanzi slapped his thigh: "Before Zhichao fainted, he said there were big mosquitoes and told me to find the police immediately."
"Mosquitoes? It's freezing cold, and it's snowing. Where would mosquitoes come from?" a man said.
"Didn't we get a notification in the group chat a while back about preventing mosquitoes? There are still mosquitoes in the city now," a man chimed in.
"It's snowing already. We're not in a hot southern region; the mosquitoes should have been gone by now."
A man with half-gray hair said, "I've seen one or two before, but they were just one or two small mosquitoes."
"Well," Old Bai said, puffing on his cigarette, "who knows which expert did it."
Gu Bai was taken aback. What did this have to do with experts?
Old Bai continued, "Didn't the news say that experts have developed cold-resistant mosquitoes to fill the gap of mosquitoes in winter?"
"Is this expert out of his mind, researching this?" the men cursed. "Look at the bite mark on the child, such a big bump."
"Who knows? Anyway, that's what the news said," Lao Bai said. "These cold-resistant mosquitoes can come out even when it snows in winter, so their venom must be very strong."
Gu Bai listened quietly.
Townships are indeed slower to accept this, and often don't take it seriously.
Everyone in the city was scrambling for masks, but they had no idea about it at all.
Of course, there's also the reason that the mosquitoes were previously rampant in the city and hadn't reached the towns and villages.
Now mosquitoes have suddenly spread in large numbers, and have already left the city and begun to sweep through towns and villages.
Gu Bai pondered to himself, "Besides mosquitoes, there's also the smell of an old-fashioned popsicle."
Mosquitoes and popsicles are mixed together?
Or are they actually in cahoots?
Lights came on in the distance, and Guo entered, riding a villager's tricycle—of course, he was a passenger.
A thin young man with side-swept bangs that covered his eyes and slightly protruding teeth got out of the car and lit a cigarette: "Damn it, I'm freezing like a monkey's butt. What's going on? Which one of you is my brother Bai? Who do you want?"
Gu Bai: "..."
Goodbye, I'll go back to my car.
"Brother Bai, I'm here to help..."
Sizzle
Guo Jin shouted and leaped forward. The road was too slippery, so he did a split and slid two meters away.
Old Bai and the others squinted at the two men, then subconsciously grabbed sticks from the roadside and started moving bricks.
How can this be considered public order?
A hoodlum, huh?
"Brother Bai... help me up..."
"I don't know you, we're not close, don't call me."
"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, I'm here to help!" Guo Jin quickly got up from the ground.
"Brother Bai, I'm here. Don't be afraid. Back in the day, I've run broths with dozens of people. What kind of scene haven't I seen?" The young man with the side-swept bangs was not intimidated at all.
Upon hearing this, Hanzi, who was squatting and smoking, exclaimed in surprise, "Dozens of people setting up a venue? And you're all alone?"
"That's right."
"Did you win?"
"What are you thinking? How could you possibly take on dozens at once?"
"And you look so proud?"
I didn't utter a single word.
"..."
