Chapter 148 Xu Hexiao Kills the Wolf

The next day after the students went into the mountains, the parents who couldn't find their children became anxious and ran to the police station to report the incident.

The police told them that their children might have gone into the mountains to hunt.

So, the worried parents came to the Shunliang Brigade. Along with the parents, there were also people from the commune and the police station. A group of people walked towards the Shunliang Brigade in a mighty manner.

Since Gao Ren had already informed the commune and the police station in advance, even if the parents were angry, they could not vent their anger on Gao Ren. If there were any unreasonable parents who were angry at Gao Ren, the members of the Shunliang Brigade would not be easily offended and would refute them on the spot, "Do we dare not let them in?"

Do you dare?

Who dares to mess with this group of unreasonable and reckless students?

The parents choked, obviously knowing that their children had not done anything good during this period and had a bad reputation.

"Several brigades nearby know that they cannot cross the area to cut trees and hunt in the mountains behind other brigades. Why didn't you teach your children? No wonder they are so ignorant."

"That's right. A group of people are coming here aggressively. How dare we stop them? You parents can't control your own children, so why should we control them?"

"Our captain has fulfilled his duty of notification and has a clear conscience!"

“........”

The team members talked one after another, leaving the parents who wanted to hold them accountable speechless.

In the end, Gao Ren stepped forward to act as a peacemaker and said that he would let some team members go in to help find the person. Only then did both sides suppress their unhappiness.

Shunliang Brigade was bustling with activity, and Anliang Brigade was also bustling in the mountains because it was finally a holiday. However, the former was full of worry and anxiety, while the latter was full of laughter and joy.

Lin Qi went to the planting area, Xu Hexiao took Lao Bi and Lao Fu to other places in the mountains, and the oldest Lao Yi was responsible for herding cattle.

"I'm not picking wild vegetables today. I want chestnuts, wood ears and mushrooms," Mr. Fu made a request.

"Yam and Pueraria root are also fine." Lao Bi also has his own preferences.

Xu Hexiao said expressionlessly, "You have hands and feet, find it yourself."

"You have been in the mountains for many years and know them very well. Of course, you should lead us to look for them," Lao Fu said as a matter of course.

"That's right. You take us to find the place, and we'll come by ourselves next time. We won't go into the deep mountains, so we shouldn't encounter ferocious beasts like wolves and bears, right?" Lao Bi asked.

"Nothing is certain. Those wild animals rarely come to the outskirts, but that does not mean they never come." Xu Hexiao said in a deep voice, "In the past, there were wolves that came to the brigade to steal chickens and children."

Lao Fu and Lao Bi looked serious. "Forget it. The wild vegetables in the fields are also delicious. In the next few days, we should open up the vegetable fields as soon as possible and plant some cold-resistant vegetables such as radish, cabbage and lettuce, so that we can eat the vegetables we grow during the New Year."

Xu Hexiao did not comment, "I can provide vegetable seeds."

Xu Hexiao was indeed very familiar with the mountains. In addition to the planting areas, he often ran to other places in the mountains, not to collect wild vegetables and fruits, but to increase his speed.

Things that are inconvenient to do in the team will not be restricted in the mountains.

He was familiar with the hidden corners where chestnuts, wood ears, mushrooms, wild fruits and other things were found. He did not stop along the way and took Lao Bi and Lao Fu straight to the destination.

They met many team members on the way. Everyone looked at the three of them without saying anything. They just glanced at them and then silently looked away.

Lao Bi and Lao Fu also saw a lot of chestnuts and wild fruits along the way, but because of the presence of the team members and Xu Hexiao's silence, they both walked straight past them and did not dare to touch, even just one.

They walked for a long time, and when Lao Bi and Lao Fu couldn't help complaining about their sore legs, Xu Hexiao stopped and said, "This is it, look up and look forward."

This is a sparsely populated valley with many tall chestnut trees growing here. In addition to chestnuts, there are also wild pears, mushrooms, and various wild vegetables.

Chestnuts grow on trees. In this season, many ripe chestnuts fall down, but they are still mostly on the trees.

"You pick them under the tree over here first. I'll go up to the tree over there and pick the chestnuts down. There are thorns on the chestnut shells, so to avoid getting hit, when you come to find me, remember to shout first. Only come over after I respond." Xu Hexiao reminded.

Lao Bi waved his hands, somewhat speechless, "We are not children, there is no need to instruct us in such detail."

Although Xu Hexiao is a 1.9-meter tall man, he is very good at climbing trees. He is as nimble as a monkey. Lao Fu and Lao Bi were dumbfounded to see him climb to the top of the tree in just a few steps.

I only knew that this student was very strong and worked quickly and well, but I didn't expect that his flexibility was just as good as his strength.

Lao Bi and Lao Fu were very happy. They thought they had recruited a good student. In the future, there would be someone to pick chestnuts and wild fruits.

After the fun, Lao Bi and Lao Fu found a rock to sit on, cracking chestnuts on the rock, looking very happy. This year, the three of them only got a little over 100 kilograms of fine grains and coarse grains, plus the two bags that Xu Hexiao brought them, now it was only about 300 kilograms. If they wanted to eat for a whole year, they had to strictly control every meal.

However, seeing the chestnuts, they are not so worried. Chestnuts contain fat, protein, glucose and other nutrients, so there is no problem in using them as a staple food.

If all the chestnuts in this valley were picked up, there would probably be several hundred kilograms in total, enough for them to eat for a whole year.

On the other side, Lin Qi was brewing Zhuyeqing. Now she and Xu Hexiao like to have a few drinks whenever they have time, and gradually they are not satisfied with the few types of wine. Last year, they found another cave around the planting area, which Lin Qi discovered by accident.

The mountain was solid on the surface, but actually most of it was empty. The upper part of the cave was dry and ventilated, while the lower part was slightly cooler and had a heavier vapor, but it was not damp. The conditions were better than the cave that Xu Hexiao had discovered.

Xu Hexiao wanted to move their belongings there, but Lin Qi refused because she couldn't bear to leave. This cave meant something different to her and Xu Hexiao.

"That's a natural wine cellar over there. We'll build some shelves over there and store wine there from now on." Lin Qi suggested.

Now, a year has passed, and the cave has stored more than a hundred jars of wine.

And this number will increase by a few jars every few days.

It was not until the evening that Lin Qi left the planting area carrying a basket on her back. Her basket contained ten kilograms of wine and two fish weighing more than ten kilograms.

When she got home, Xu Hexiao had not returned yet.

Lin Qi began to prepare dinner.

At this time, Xu Hexiao was carrying two sacks of chestnuts on his shoulder pole, while Lao Fu and Lao Bi were each carrying a backpack full of chestnuts.

There are too many chestnuts, mushrooms and wild fruits to fit in all the food. We’ll have to come back tomorrow.

Xu Hexiao led the way in front, while Lao Fu and Lao Bi followed behind with gritted teeth.

Suddenly, Xu Hexiao, who was walking in front, dropped the carrying pole on his back, drew the sickle from his waist, and rushed to the right front.

Old Fu was shocked, "What happened?"

"I don't know." Lao Bi took two steps forward, his vision became wider, and then he saw a scene that shocked them - their good student was holding a wolf's neck with one hand and holding a sickle in the other hand, chopping at another wolf.

The next second, he threw the wolf he was holding onto a rock, and before it could react, he chopped the wolf's neck with another sickle.

"Be careful behind you!" someone not far away shouted anxiously.

It seemed as if Xu Hexiao had eyes behind him. He swung his sickle, and the curved tail of the sickle pierced the wolf's eyes, rupturing the eyeball. A shrill wail echoed throughout the forest.

The sickle sank deeply into the wolf's eyes. Xu Hexiao held the sickle with both hands and smashed the wolf heavily onto a sharp stone beside him. With a cracking sound, the wolf's spine was broken and it died.

At this point, both wolves were dead.

The whole process, from the appearance of Xu Hexiao to the death of the two wolves, took less than five minutes.

The bloody scene, coupled with Xu Hexiao's cold and indifferent aura, made the bystanders couldn't help but feel a little scared, even though Xu Hexiao had just saved them.

Xu Hexiao did not miss the flash of fear on those people's faces. He tore off a piece of cloth from his coat with a tearing sound and strode towards the injured aunt on the ground.

The wolf had bitten the aunt's thigh, and a piece of flesh was almost bitten off her body. At this time, blood was flowing out of her thigh. Xu Hexiao walked over, tied up the wound on the aunt's thigh with the torn cloth, then picked up the aunt and ran out of the mountain quickly.

The people present blinked their eyes and saw that Xu Hexiao's men were already dozens of meters away.

Everyone looked at the wolf corpse on the ground, then at the figure that had disappeared in the distance, with complicated expressions.

"When did this black five become so powerful?"

"One morning I passed by Lin Qi's house and saw him boxing outside Lin Qi's door."

"Anyway, he saved a few of us. If it weren't for him, we would all be fed to the wolves today."

"What a nice guy, it's a pity that he is a member of the black five categories."

The last sigh was the regret for losing an excellent candidate for son-in-law.

Xu Hexiao rushed out of the mountain holding the aunt, and before he reached the cowshed, he shouted, "Lin Qi——"

Lin Qi, who was cooking at home, heard the noise and only had time to take the pot off the fire before rushing out. Seeing Xu Hexiao running over, she hurried to meet him.

"This lady was bitten by a wolf and her thigh is injured. You should take her to see Doctor Ma." Xu Hexiao said breathlessly.

Lin Qi took her aunt from his arms and told her, "Go back and check the fire in the kitchen for me."

Xu Hexiao fell to the ground. After hearing Lin Qi's words, he propped himself up and walked towards Lin Qi's house with difficulty.

Xu Hexiao was fast. In Xu Hexiao's arms, Auntie could hear the whistling wind passing by her ears and could see the surrounding scenery clearly. But when it was Lin Qi's turn to hold her, she couldn't see anything clearly. The wind was too strong and she couldn't even open her eyes. She felt that she had just been picked up by Lin Qi, but the next second she heard Lin Qi shouting, "Doctor Ma, Doctor Ma——"

Then there was the sound of the door opening, and Doctor Ma asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Aunt Minghua was bitten by a wolf!"
