Born in the 60s, Reincarnated as a Little Kid

In her previous life, Li Mingxi was an orphan. She encountered a car accident on her way home from work and was reborn into the 1960s, becoming the most beloved granddaughter of the Old Li family.<...

Chapter 31: Chased by a Wild Boar

When the wild boar saw the little girl appear in front of it, it gave up chasing Shen Mengli and turned to chase Li Mingxi. After all, it also knew that smaller prey was easier to catch.

Seeing Li Mingxi being chased by a wild boar under the tree, the twins burst into tears, "Sister, sister, woo woo, sister!"

Li Mingxi was almost running out of energy. Seeing a large tree ahead, he ran towards it, thinking that if the wild boar could crash into it, he might be saved. However, ideals are beautiful, and reality is cruel. The wild boar did crash into the tree, but only bled; it didn't faint. This enraged the boar, and it lunged at Li Mingxi. Li Mingxi closed her eyes in fear, but the pain she had imagined didn't occur.

So he opened his eyes and saw the educated youth Yang Qiangjun hitting the wild boar on the head with a stick, and then the wild boar fell down with a bang. Looking at the wild boar with blood all over its head, Li Mingxi felt dizzy, perhaps because he was too frightened.

The twins were initially happy that their sister had escaped being eaten by the wild boar, but upon seeing their sister fall to the ground, they began to cry and scream. Yang Qiangjun had no choice but to have Zhang Guowei hit the wild boar a few more times with a stick while he carried the twins down.

So when Erwang led a few people up the mountain, they saw a dead pig, Li Mingxi lying on the ground with blood on his body, twins and a group of children crying around Li Mingxi, and several educated youth standing by with pale faces.

My heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened? Were we too late? Before anyone could react, Niu Cuihua dashed over to Li Mingxi, who lay on the ground. She picked her up and burst into tears. Behind her, Old Man Li and his two sons looked ashen.

Niu Cuihua wiped her tears and cried, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare grandma!"

When the twins saw their grandmother coming, they choked and said, "Grandma, grandma, my sister is dead, wuwu."

When Yang Qiangjun heard the twins say this, he quickly interrupted, "Auntie, they are wrong. Your granddaughter is fine. She probably fainted from shock, but she is not dead."

Zhang Guowei also immediately said: "Yes, auntie, I saw it clearly just now, the wild boar didn't even touch your granddaughter."

When Niu Cuihua heard that no one was dead, she immediately felt hopeful. "Then why did they say Xiaoxi was dead?"

Yang Qiangjun was helpless, "We just talked to them for a long time, but they didn't believe it and insisted that their sister was dead. If you don't believe it, look, your granddaughter is still breathing!

Niu Cuihua was relieved when she saw that it was indeed the case. She then told the twins that Xiaoxi was fine and had fainted from shock. When the twins heard their grandmother say the same thing, they believed her and stopped crying.

Captain Li Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw nothing was wrong and asked, "What's going on? Why are there wild boars coming down the mountain?"

Erwang pointed at Shen Mengli and said, "It's her. She just ran over here with the wild boar."

Li Mingyi shouted, "It's her. She just led the wild boar towards us. Woo woo," and wiped away his tears.

Li Mingde also agreed, "If it weren't for her, my sister wouldn't be chased by a wild boar, woo woo."

When the surrounding villagers heard this, they all looked at Shen Mengli angrily.

Li Tiezhu looked at Shen Mengli, "Shen Zhiqing, what's going on? Why do the children say that you brought the wild boar here?"

Chen Mengli looked at the people who were looking over, and thinking that she couldn't escape, she bit the bullet and explained, "It was indeed me who lured the wild boar here just now, but I was also careless. Besides, I was being chased by the wild boar."

Li Mingyi interrupted: "Then why did you lead the wild boar here?"

Chen Mengli glanced at the twins, her face showing displeasure. "I was so scared by the wild boar at the time, how could I know which was which? Besides, isn't it just a fainting spell? At worst, I'll cover the medical expenses!"

Niu Cuihua immediately flew into a rage when she heard this. "We don't want your medical expenses. I just want to ask you, why did you lead the wild boar towards my granddaughter? Are you trying to kill her?"

Shen Mengli: "Oh, I already said it, I didn't mean it, are you annoying?"

Niu Cuihua: "You said you didn't do it on purpose, but I don't believe you. There are so many places to go, why did you run here? Isn't it because there are so many children here? You did it on purpose, and let my granddaughter die for you. You are not a human being. How old is my Xiaoxi?"

The villagers below started talking when they heard this, "Yes, Mr. Shen, an adult, clearly knows how ferocious wild boars are, but he chose to run to the children's side. Isn't he just sending our children to their deaths?"

"Exactly, how could you be so cruel as to want to let a child die."

"I've said it before, none of these educated youth are good people."

"They think the lives of city dwellers are important, but the lives of us country folks are not. They are so mean-spirited."

Chen Mengli listened to the discussion of the group of people, and her expression became more and more ugly. "Who knew there were wild boars here? Besides, we are here to help you build. You have the responsibility to protect us. What's wrong with me running here?"

Listening to Shen Mengli's words, Li Tiezhu's face gradually turned dark.

Li Qiang heard Shen Mengli's words becoming increasingly harsh, and hurriedly stopped her, "Captain, we were wrong. We just came here out of curiosity, so we thought of going into the mountains to take a look, but we didn't come up with such an idea. I'm really sorry."

Li Tiezhu's expression softened slightly after hearing this. "You wanted to go into the mountains, so why didn't you ask me? Besides, the wild boar was clearly deep in the mountains. Didn't you see the warning sign on the road that forbids entering the mountains?"

Hearing this, Li Qiang turned around and looked at Lin Jianwei. "I'm sorry, Captain, we didn't know there was a warning sign. Next time we want to do something, we will definitely ask you first."

Li Tiezhu slowed down his tone. "What happened today is your fault, educated youth. If you do it again, I will go directly to the township and have you taken away. In addition, educated youth Shen will cover Xiaoxi's medical expenses and nutrition costs. The remaining children who are not injured will each pay three eggs."

The villagers were dissatisfied with the result, and even more dissatisfied with the educated youth, but they had to agree because of the team leader.

Niu Cuihua was furious about the decision and wanted to argue, but Li Tieniu stopped her, "Alright, stop talking. Send Xiaoxi to see a doctor right away. What if something serious happens?"

Niu Cuihua was anxious when she heard this and wanted to rush down the mountain with Xiaoxi in her arms. However, because she was too frightened just now and had no strength left, she could only arrange for the eldest son to hold Xiaoxi, while the old man and the third son each carried a grandson down the mountain.

After seeing his brother and his family leave, Li Tiezhu called everyone to carry the wild boar down the mountain. Although this incident had happened, it was still a big fat pig and he certainly couldn't just leave it alone. In this day and age, no one would be able to resist giving away meat. After all, it was short of oil and water in its stomach. At worst, he could give more meat to his brother's family later.

As for the educated youth, except for Yang Zhiqing and a few others, the rest could do whatever they wanted; they had no chance of getting a share of the meat. Meanwhile, he became even more certain of his earlier suspicions: these educated youth were truly incapable of doing anything, constantly causing trouble. He didn't know when the higher-ups would let them go. It was a stroke of luck that nothing had happened this time; otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause in the future.
