Chapter 126: Heart Scratching
Chapter 126: Heart Scratching
The black men still opened the door and broke in.
This McDonald's has more than just one front entrance.
There are doors on both sides, and a group of black men are rushing over not far away.
It seems that there are at least thirty or forty people.
You can't keep it.
If Jiang Ning was alone and those black men didn't have weapons in their hands, he wouldn't be afraid of any number of people coming to such a place, but he also had to take care of Feng Yu and Feng Xue, and some of the black men had weapons in their hands, so such a place with leaks on all sides was really unsafe.
We can only retreat to a relatively safe place first.
But what made him drop his jaw was
The moment the black men broke in, everyone in the store immediately squatted down with their heads in their hands. They didn't run or resist at all, and some even took out their wallets and cell phones to hand them over. He was stunned by their behavior.
I never expected this to happen.
But then I realized that Americans are the same.
When encountering robbers, be very cooperative and try to save your life first.
This place is of the same lineage as America, so it's not surprising that it behaves like this.
Just as I had a thought, I saw Lao Hei who broke in and grabbed anything he could get his hands on and threw it at those people who were holding their heads with their hands and not resisting. Those who couldn't grab anything he kicked with his feet. Screams and cries were heard everywhere.
"go!"
Jiang Ning immediately pulled the two sisters and continued to move forward.
This McDonald's store is quite large, with a warehouse and utility room at the back.
There is also a supermarket at the back.
I ran along an aisle to the back and it seemed like the supermarket was a bit chaotic as well.
I had no choice but to turn around and run back.
They opened a warehouse at random and hid inside.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue's hearts were beating so violently that they couldn't calm down for a long time.
Screams and pleas for mercy continued to be heard from the front.
Not long after, cries and screams were heard from the direction of the supermarket behind.
Apparently there were thugs rushing in as well.
Feng Yu put his hands on his chest and trembled as he spoke: "How could this happen? This is too chaotic and scary."
Jiang Ning remained calm as ever. While searching for a weapon in the warehouse, he said, "These black men are troublemakers wherever they go. Australia's public security is generally okay. This kind of large-scale mass incident may not happen once in a few years. We are so lucky that we happened to catch it today. If we had come yesterday or tomorrow, we would not have been so lucky."
Feng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this considered good luck?"
Jiang Ning laughed and said, "Of course, this kind of thing is not something you can encounter just by wishing for it."
Feng Yu looked at him speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Ning immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."
The two of them felt slightly relieved, as they both knew his past.
Have confidence in him too.
Feng Yu then said angrily: "That woman just now is such a jerk. We are all compatriots, but she actually said that. She is even worse than the foreigners!"
Feng Xue also nodded. This kind of thing was indeed very infuriating.
Jiang Ning was used to it and said, "There are good people and bad people when they come out. There are bad people in my hometown, not to mention those in a foreign country. Most of them will do anything to survive or gain benefits, and some will deliberately cheat their fellow countrymen. So when you go out, don't feel friendly when you see your fellow countrymen. Just treat them the same as foreigners."
The two nodded, feeling that they had learned something.
Jiang Ning added: "Stay here and don't go out. I'll go out and check the situation."
Feng Yu was a little worried: "Be careful."
Jiang Ning nodded, opened the door and went out.
There were screams and cries, as well as curses and pleas for mercy from front and back.
There were also the sounds of various things being smashed and broken.
Someone from the supermarket ran over here, crying and shouting.
There was a black man behind her chasing and beating her, and trying to snatch the bag from the white woman.
The white woman held on tightly and refused to give in even when beaten.
"Get in quickly!"
Jiang Ning opened the door of the warehouse and pulled someone inside to hide.
Then he kicked over Lao Hei who was chasing him. Lao Hei saw that he had met a tough guy, so he got up and ran away.
These guys are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Jiang Ning finally understood that this was the Australian version of zero-dollar shopping.
I've only seen it online before.
I didn't expect to encounter it now.
Just as I changed my mind, a few people came running towards me.
There was also a black guy chasing and beating him from behind.
I don’t know how many black people are involved.
Jiang Ning drove away a few black men and asked them to hide in the warehouse.
After going in and taking a look, we found that the small warehouse was already a bit crowded with seven people hiding in it.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue stood at the innermost part, unable to hide their worry on their faces.
Jiang Ning gave him a reassuring look and turned to leave.
As soon as I went out, I saw an old lady stumbling towards me not far away. She was caught up and kicked down by an old black man, who snatched the bag from her arms. The old lady cried and screamed, holding on to the bag tightly and refused to let go. The old black man kicked her in the face twice.
The old lady was unable to resist and her bag was snatched away.
When Lao Hei saw Jiang Ning, he immediately rushed over cursing.
However, when he got closer, perhaps it was his sixth sense that suddenly warned him, or he realized that Jiang Ning was not someone to be trifled with, he cursed and turned around and ran away. Jiang Ning did not chase him, but glanced at the old lady lying on the ground crying, not wanting to help at all.
The store manager just let him in, and it was this lady who blamed him for bringing Lao Hei in.
In Jiang Ning's eyes, such people are not compatriots.
No one will add insult to injury if there is no one to add insult to injury.
After searching in the corridor for a while, he rescued a few people who were running over.
One of the families was Chinese, a couple in their thirties with a ten-year-old daughter.
The man was conscientious. He found that these black men not only wanted to rob money, but also hurt those who did not resist. He decisively protected his wife and daughter and escaped. He was kicked several times and punched in the face, and the corner of his mouth was cracked.
Jiang Ning knocked down the two old black men who were chasing him, and let the family of three hide in the warehouse temporarily.
The warehouse, which was originally very small, was already overcrowded with more than a dozen people hiding there.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue had to stay close together.
When Jiang Ning was talking to the two of them, he spoke his native language, and the family of three heard it and were quite surprised.
The man hesitated, but still came out and asked in his native language: "Hello, are you from China?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes."
The man asked again: "You are so skilled, have you ever been a soldier?"
Jiang Ning nodded without explaining.
Mercenaries are also soldiers!
The man kindly reminded them, "I see you hit them a little too hard just now. Those two black men must have been injured. You will be in trouble if the police come. I think you should leave the scene as soon as possible before the police arrive."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Isn't this considered self-defense?"
The man explained: "Australian law allows for legitimate defense. When life and property safety are threatened, force can be used, but you can only subdue or drive the person away. If someone is injured, it will be very troublesome. Even if there is a reason, the police will handle it at their discretion, but it will still be troublesome, so I suggest you leave the scene before the police arrive."
Jiang Ning listened carefully, and of course he also understood Australian laws.
It’s just that I don’t understand it that deeply.
His previous attacks were quite severe, although not fatal.
But you can't escape from minor injuries.
Some may be seriously injured.
If that's the case, it would be really troublesome to stay on the scene.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Thank you, I'll leave first."
The man asked, "Where do you live? Do you want to stay at my farm for a few days?"
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Are you running a farm?"
The man wanted to laugh, but the wound at the corner of his mouth was pulled, and he twitched in pain for a few times, so he couldn't laugh. He nodded and said, "I have a small farm in Korak. The scenery is pretty good. If you don't mind, you can stay there for a few days."
Jiang Ning thought about it and nodded: "I'll go out and check the situation. If I can leave, I'll leave immediately."
The man hurriedly reminded: "Be careful!"
Jiang Ning went to the front first. The McDonald's was in a mess. A group of black men were still smashing and looting. The smart ones knew how to protect themselves and tried to cooperate to avoid being beaten. Those who were reluctant to spend money suffered a lot and were beaten with bloody heads.
The supermarket at the back isn't much better.
It was a mess.
I went outside to check and it was still not peaceful.
Many black men directly robbed passers-by, and many passers-by suffered.
Not far away, a white girl was quite aggressive and was fighting with a black girl. The black girl probably wanted to snatch the bag that the white girl was carrying, but the white girl was obviously well-trained and her boxing was fast, accurate and fierce, so the black girl couldn't get close to her for a while.
It feels like watching a real-life movie.
There were police officers shouting in the distance.
But I only heard the sound, but no one came.
Jiang Ning went back after asking around and said, "It's too chaotic outside now, let's go later."
The man nodded, wanted to speak, and pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth again.
It hurts terribly.
After chatting for a few minutes, they introduced themselves to each other.
The man's name is Lin Zheming, a first-generation Chinese living in Australia. He used to be in the clothing business in China. He bought a farm here and grew fruits, vegetables, and mold. But business has not been good in the past two years, so he simply sold the factory in China and moved here.
Focus on running the farm.
After waiting for a while, no police came.
After a wave of zero-yuan purchases by the old blacks, they also withdrew one after another.
The black men on the street are also dispersing.
Jiang Ning went out to inquire about it, and when he came back he immediately called Feng Yu and Feng Xue to leave.
Lin Zheming also called his wife and daughter and left quickly.
On the way to get the car, Jiang Ning saw the police.
No wonder we didn’t see any police officers coming over. There were about ten police officers in total. Faced with a huge number of black people, the police could only shout and drive them away. They didn’t dare to arrest them. I don’t know if there were too few police officers or other police officers were on the way.
Some arrogant black men even gave the police the middle finger.
The three people did not stay and the police had no time to deal with them. They went to the parking lot to get the car and drove a few hundred meters forward. They saw a Toyota waiting on the roadside. They lowered the window and saw that it was Lin Zheming's family. They greeted them and drove away.
Not far away, I saw two police cars driving over.
Feng Yu was still sighing: "I didn't expect Australia to be so chaotic. If I had known, I wouldn't have come out."
Jiang Ning scratched his head. It was hard to say.
As the old saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. For ordinary people, encountering such a thing is indeed a bit too frightening.
Jiang Ning could only comfort him: "It's just an accident. When people are unlucky, they will encounter accidents even if they stay at home. Eating spicy hot pot can still cause you to be hospitalized. This is not a big deal. As long as I am here, nothing will happen. Don't worry!"
Feng Yu nodded, feeling indeed relieved.
Although I was quite scared at first, I was not hurt from beginning to end.
Compared with others, I am very lucky.
After driving for an hour, we left the city and arrived in the southwestern suburbs.
There are few buildings on both sides, and large farms are everywhere.
After running for a while, the leading Toyota car in front drove off the main road and turned onto a small road.
Jiang Ning followed him. The path was also asphalt and very flat.
After turning around for a while, we finally drove off the asphalt road and onto a dirt road.
We ran along the dirt road for three or four hundred meters and drove into a farm.
Finally it stopped in front of a two-story building.
The farm has beautiful scenery and the houses are also very beautifully built.
Lin Zheming and his family got out of the car and let the people into the house.
Bring out fruits and vegetables from the farm to entertain you warmly.
We sat down and chatted for a while.
Lin Zheming took care of the bruises on his face and the wound at the corner of his mouth himself.
Jiang Ning then realized that he had come at the wrong time, but since he was already here, he couldn't just turn around and leave.
After sitting for a while and waiting for Lin Zheming to come out, they went to visit the farm.
A farm of more than a thousand acres can only be considered a small farm in Australia.
It’s not even as big as Jiang Ning’s farm in Bei’an!
But it is well maintained, with patches of grass, pineapples, and a mango grove. It looks much more refined than the Fairy Farm, which is full of weeds and primitive flavor.
There are also some cattle and sheep, but not many.
While visiting, Jiang Ning asked, "How much does a farm like this cost?"
Lin Zheming said: "The value of a farm varies depending on its location. Water rights also have a big impact. Some farms are very cheap, while others are very expensive. My farm is close to the city and may be expropriated in the future, so the price is relatively high. I bought it for 350 million yuan."
Jiang Ning calculated: "That's not cheap."
Lin Zheming said: "It's not cheap indeed, but there are cheaper ones."
Jiang Ning asked: "Can you make money running a farm in Australia?"
Lin Zheming shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Running a farm is too difficult. More than 99% of the people who bought farms here in China lost money. In order to sell their farms, many people even made various exquisite short videos and posted them on the platform, just to trick people into buying them."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Isn't Australia's agriculture very developed? How can it not make money?"
Lin Zheming said: "It is difficult to make money from basic agriculture. Unless the scale is increased or there is another industrial chain that uses the farm as a source of raw materials, it is too difficult to make money from agriculture alone."
Jiang Ning said, "Many people buy farms not to make money, right?"
Lin Zheming nodded and said, "Indeed, many people from China who buy farms are not here to make money. At first, they simply want to buy a piece of land and experience the fun of being a farmer. However, it costs money to manage a farm. Except for those who have retired and have nothing to do, most people will regret buying a farm after a few years, and it will be difficult to sell it again."
Jiang Ning asked, "I think your farm is doing well, right?"
Lin Zheming was a little proud: "I put a lot of effort into this farm, so it's okay. I have cooperation with several fruit merchants and supermarket chains. The fruits produced by the farm are selling well, so the profit is not bad!"
Jiang Ning asked: "Are there any restrictions on buying land here?"
Lin Zheming said, "Basically there are no restrictions, but now the risk of investing in agriculture is too high and the returns are small. I actually regretted buying this farm. I would lose a lot of money if I sold it, so I had to bite the bullet and run it. If it's just an investment, even if it's investing in real estate, it's better than investing in agriculture. Australia's housing prices have been rising in the past two years, so it's worth investing in."
Jiang Ning nodded and continued to ask: "How much land can the big landlords here have?"
Lin Zheming said: "That's a lot. There are several super large ranches that cover millions of hectares."
Jiang Ning calculated it and was shocked: "Is it this big?"
Lin Zheming nodded: "It is indeed a bit big."
Jiang Ning felt that his eyes had been opened. What does millions of hectares mean?
Tens of thousands of square kilometers!
Xianling Farm is big enough, but it is only more than 20 square kilometers.
Fairy Farm has to be patrolled by drones. For a ranch that is tens of thousands of square kilometers, we have to use helicopters. The drones that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on the Internet definitely can't fly there because their battery life is not enough.
Jiang Ning asked, "How much land can the Chinese buy here at most?"
Lin Zheming said: "There is no regulation on this. If a domestic company invests directly, the approval will definitely be much stricter, but if it is an Australian local company, the review will not be so strict, and the government will basically not obstruct the use of agricultural land."
Jiang Ning asked: "Is there any difference?"
Lin Zheming explained it to him in detail: "The situation has not been good in the past two years. We are very wary of capital from our hometown, especially the approval of large transactions is very strict. You know the capital from our hometown, right? Even private capital will have some special labels, so you know, right? If it is a company registered locally, the background is not complicated, and the review will be much looser."
Jiang Ning nodded, basically understanding.
We can’t say much about this stuff, as it has little to do with ordinary people anyway.
I was thinking whether I should buy a piece of land in Australia.
He has no ambitions, he just likes land.
Although there is no shortage of land in my hometown, we should not put all our eggs in one basket.
It is better to keep them separate.
After all, my hometown is still my hometown, and there are some things that cannot be done.
There is nothing to worry about outside, and there is no need to worry about anyone being jealous.
Lin Zheming asked: "I don't think you are from an ordinary army, right?"
Jiang Ning responded casually: "This is confidential."
Lin Zheming didn't ask any more questions, since he still knew some taboos.
After having lunch at the farm and receiving the warm hospitality of the host, Jiang Ning and the other two said goodbye and drove back to the rented house. On the way, Jiang Ning asked Feng Yu: "What do you think about me buying a piece of land in Australia and setting up a farm?"
Feng Yu asked: "Why do you want to buy land here?"
Jiang Ning said, "Do you understand that you can't put all your eggs in one basket?"
Feng Yu said, "If you want to buy it, just buy it. I don't understand these things."
Jiang Ning said his plan: "Let's buy more land, have more sons, and when they grow up, each of them will get a piece of land and become a king."
Feng Yu burst out laughing: "What are you thinking? What era is this? And we are still kings!"
Feng Xue also pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh.
Jiang Ning said cheerfully: "King is just a title. I am the master of my own land, so I am the king!"
Feng Yu hummed twice: "Then buy it!"
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry, as he had only been to Australia twice.
How can you buy casually if you don't know anything about the situation?
Back to the big house, I didn’t go anywhere in the afternoon.
Just stay in the villa and calm your frightened heart.
Jiang Ning was of course fine, but Feng Yu and Feng Xue were quite frightened today.
Since I have nothing to do, I'll teach Feng Yu how to swim.
Swimming in the sea is too difficult, so we teach in the swimming pool.
It took Feng Yu an entire afternoon to learn the frog chant, but he still couldn't master it. His limbs were not coordinated, his hands, legs and breathing didn't work together, especially he couldn't find the balance between paddling and kicking, and his head couldn't get out of the water. At most he could paddle twice before being submerged in the water. In short, it was very difficult for Feng Yu to learn it.
Jiang Ning is also tired of teaching.
If this wasn't my wife, I would have jumped up and cursed her.
Feng Yu was extremely envious of his ability to freestyle in the water as nimbly as a fish. She thought it was so cool and wanted to learn it, but he couldn't even do the dog paddle, let alone freestyle. He could only control his temper and learn it bit by bit.
When she was tired of studying, she asked Feng Xue during a break: "Sister, do you want to study?"
Feng Xue shook her head. She didn’t feel comfortable learning it.
Jiang Ning was very tactful and stood up immediately: "I'll go to the front to bask in the sun for a while."
Feng Yu was very satisfied with his thoughtfulness. After he left, she said to Feng Xue, "Sister, you should also change into your swimsuit. It's quite comfortable to soak in the water. You should also change into your swimsuit and try it."
Feng Xue is sorry.
Feng Yu tried to persuade Feng Xue for a long time before she agreed.
She went back to the room, changed into her swimsuit, and walked over very awkwardly.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never left the bedroom dressed like this.
In broad daylight, outdoors.
Feng Xue always felt that someone was peeping at her, so she looked around suspiciously as she walked.
Feng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Jiang Ning is in front, don't look around."
Feng Xue felt very embarrassed. She walked to the swimming pool and stood on the entrance steps to test the water temperature. The water was quite hot, not as cold as sea water. Then she slowly walked in along the entrance steps.
As soon as I entered the swimming pool, I squatted in the water and couldn't get up.
Feng Yu also went into the water and practiced breaststroke.
Seeing that my sister was squatting motionless, I taught her to practice together.
forecourt.
Jiang Ning was lying on a hammock, watching short videos.
I no longer push content about beauties to him recently, and only push content like current affairs and the like.
For example, right now, the entire screen is filled with the news that the men's football team lost to the Vietnamese men's team and was scolded like dogs, with all kinds of ridicule. In comparison, the news that the women's football team won the championship is too exciting. Netizens who lack confidence seem to urgently need a big victory to vent their inner excitement.
And the girls of the women's football team satisfied everyone.
So he became a hero.
With all the praise, the men's football team has become a pariah in comparison.
Everyone shouted for beating.
Jiang Ning also joined in the fun and cursed a few times.
Who says he is also a young man?
Damn, a bunch of men are not as good as a bunch of women.
You deserve to be scolded.
After browsing for a while, I saw another piece of news.
Jiang Ning felt a bit gloating over the severe crackdown on educational training institutions. Those teachers who gave cram schools were going to be in trouble. It was a good crackdown. He had heard Feng Yu say that many bad things should be rectified, but Bei'an had already started last year.
Boss Lu was still foresighted and acted even faster than the above.
But these things have nothing to do with him, so he doesn't care about them.
He is not a member of the Jianzheng Party. He just left after a few thoughts.
I watched some short videos and found them boring.
Suddenly I wanted to know whether Feng Xue had put on her swimsuit and learned swimming from Feng Yu.
I wanted to go and take a look, but I was worried that I might see something I wouldn't dare to see.
I felt like I was scratching my head for a moment.
That's all for today, I can't hold on any longer.
I felt better yesterday and Wednesday, but the symptoms recurred yesterday and today. I feel groggy and have no energy, and am going crazy from the cold.
Guys, please allow me to rest for two days and get into better shape to continue running 9K. Of course, even though I am resting, I still have to work hard to ensure 6K.
