077 Mrs. Bai appeared on the scene

Shi Jingxia shook her head and said, "I don't know. At that time, Big Nose dragged me and ran into the far-right entrance, and I didn't see the two of them."

In the current situation, no news is probably the best news.

"I guess they went through the third entrance."

At this moment, Bai Ruoxue shouted, "I'm still down here. Why is nobody taking care of me? Hurry and pull me up."

Bai Ruoxue always assumes a high and mighty attitude, ordering people around as if she were the queen of the city, which irritated Big Nose. After he pulled me up, he ignored Bai Ruoxue.

"Miss Bai, please don't be offended. I'm just a lowly man, afraid of dirtying your hands."

Bai Ruoxue didn't respond, calling out my name instead, "Guangting, pull me up."

Shi Jingxia held onto me tightly, refusing to let go.

I said to Big Nose, "Quickly pull her up."

Big Nose snorted. "I'm not going to deal with this shrew."

I cursed, "For heaven's sake, it's already this time. You're supposed to be a man, not act like a woman. Hurry up."

"Bro, since you put it that way, I'll overlook it this time."

I shook my head in speechless frustration.

Big Nose reached out to pull Bai Ruoxue up, suddenly tensing up and saying nervously, "Bro, the big-footed monster is coming."

I hurriedly looked down, and indeed, the big-footed monster appeared at the stairwell, limping up with a large iron hammer in hand.

He glanced up, locking eyes with me, and even smiled.

"Little kitty, I finally found you. Where do you think you're going this time?"

Bai Ruoxue's face turned pale, grasping wildly.

"Help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Big Nose and I, each using one hand, lifted her up.

Almost simultaneously, the big-footed monster reached out, but missed.

I shouted, "Quick, guard the entrance, don't let this guy come up."

Shi Jingxia picked up chunks of earth and debris and hurled them.

"Kill you, monster!"

"Haha, it's been a long time since someone tickled me. Feels good."

Seeing it was ineffective, Shi Jingxia held up a kitchen knife defensively, preparing to strike as soon as the big-footed monster showed his head, ready to deliver a blow.

Big Nose spun around on the spot, spotted a wooden pillar, and lifted it up to smash it inside, but unexpectedly, the big-footed monster caught it.

"Bro, help me!"

I rushed over and, together with Big Nose, exerted all our strength to push it down.

Unexpectedly, with a forceful push, the wooden pillar shot up into the air like a cannonball, and we both fell to the ground.

"Miss Bai, what are you waiting for? Give him a shot!"

Bai Ruoxue pulled out her pistol and aimed, but after a moment, she didn't pull the trigger.

"Quick, why are you hesitating? You're supposed to be a cold-blooded killer. Why hesitate now?"

"The gun, the gun is out of bullets."

"Use mine."

"I-I didn't bring mine."

Upon hearing this, I cursed inwardly. It turns out this woman has been lying to me all along. I'd sooner believe in ghosts than trust a woman's word.

Suddenly, the big-footed monster popped up and said, "Little kitty, I'm here."

Shi Jingxia raised her double-edged kitchen knife and struck downward. "Clang!" The knife was deflected.

The big-footed monster unexpectedly wore a bronze gui on his head, which at first glance resembled a creature from ancient Greek mythology.

He lifted the large iron hammer and swung it towards Shi Jingxia's head.

"Xiao Jing, be careful!"

I pulled Shi Jingxia and crawled through the rammed earth wall, with the others following closely behind.

Soon, the big-footed monster also passed through the rammed earth wall, standing up. With one leg injured, he couldn't exert much force, and his shoulders were uneven, holding the wooden handle of the hammer, giving off an air of indifference.

Before, the big-footed monster always stooped, and while we knew he was tall, we couldn't gauge just how tall. Now, facing him directly, I felt utterly insignificant. To put it bluntly, his shadow alone covered all four of us, easily surpassing two meters.

"Little kitty, come here, let me give you a hug."

I shuddered all over, feeling goosebumps. This was too creepy.

"Screw off. Do you have some weird fetish or something, you trash?"

The big-footed monster's face changed, speaking in a low voice, "You cursed my mother again, and cursed me too. I'm going to eat your flesh."

Before his words had even finished, he took three steps forward, swinging the big iron hammer, and "bang, bang," it sounded. We scattered like rats, darting left and right.

Quick on his feet, Big Nose took the opportunity to jump onto the big-footed monster's back, one hand firmly gripping his neck while the other searched around. Finding the wound inflicted by Bai Ruoxue's gunshot, he plunged his middle finger directly into it.

"I'll stab you to death, make you suffer under my finger."

The big-footed monster hissed, shaking his head vigorously. His hair whipped Big Nose's face like a whip.

He tried to raise his arm, but the pain from the gunshot wound prevented him from doing so. Instead, he threw the big iron hammer aside and reached behind with his other hand, grabbing Big Nose's head and pulling him down.

"Ouch, easy there, it's not ripe yet."

Locals liked to joke about hitting someone on the head, then ask if their "melon" was ripe.

The big-footed monster threw Big Nose away, smashing heavily into the wall, almost being buried alive along with the soil.

I swiftly picked up the big iron hammer, keeping my eyes fixed on his gigantic 55-yard-long foot.

"I'll disable you both, see how you stand up."

As I lifted the hammer, the big-footed monster suddenly shook and collapsed with a loud thud.

Behind him stood two people, one man and one woman.

The man resembled Duan Huiren, around forty years old, spirited, of medium build, wearing a pair of thousand-layered cloth shoes on his feet, already stained with mud, but it was clear they were new shoes.

He held a pair of walnuts, rotating them leisurely, making a "crackling" sound.

The woman was older, around her sixties, with a square face. She was elegantly dressed, with a radiant silver-white hair emitting a halo, giving her an imposing air.

My mind buzzed, and I suddenly remembered the scavenging old lady Zhang Ling I met in the Yongling greenhouse.

"Grandma, why are you here?"

This person was none other than the head of the Bai Gang, Grandma Bai, my grandfather's senior sister, whom even Lin Canghai feared.

Bai Ruoxue was overjoyed and ran over to take Grandma Bai's hand.

"Grandma, I've missed you so much."

Grandma Bai gently tapped Bai Ruoxue on the forehead.

"You, always causing me worries. How could you dare to keep such a big thing from me?"

Bai Ruoxue pouted and hummed, "I just wanted to prove that if Sister doesn't inherit your mantle, I can still hold up this banner."

Grandma Bai shook her head. "Everyone has their own aspirations. There's no need to force it. Let's talk about this later. Quickly, meet Uncle Huang."

Bai Ruoxue turned around and said, "Uncle Huang, you've come to see me too."

The other party nodded but didn't speak.

Later, I learned that this person's real name was Huang Dafa, but everyone in the circle called him Huang Erhei, a name known to everyone in the industry.
