Chapter 16 Who is more miserable?

"Oh, you're stealing collective property again!"

Luo Laizi walked towards Lin Qi with a sinister sneer on his face. His eyes were fixed on the bucket Lin Qi was carrying. "How much is in it?"

Lin Qi stopped and looked at the plants on both sides of the path, already thinking of ways to use plants to subdue the opponent.

But is a bucket of fish and shrimp worth exposing herself to?

The answer is not worth it.

But she was unwilling to hand over all the hard-earned gains to the other party.

Why not, just have a fight.

After a fight, let the entire Anliang Brigade know that Lin Qi is not someone to be trifled with.

Lin Qi put down the bucket and dustpan in her hands, took a big step to the left, half squatted, and broke a branch as big as her wrist with a snap.

She walked towards Luo Laizi while clearing the leaves from the branches.

Luo Laizi narrowed his eyes, "You want to imitate Luo Zhuzi and beat me with a stick? It seems that you are really a fool. I will let Luo Zhuzi do it, but I won't let you."

After saying that, Luo Laizi pounced on Lin Qi, trying to snatch the branch in Lin Qi's hand.

Bang!

Lin Qi hit Luo Laizi on the shoulder with a branch. Luo Laizi paused and grimaced in pain, but he did not retreat. He grabbed the other end of the branch with one hand.

This is a ruthless person.

Lin Qi narrowed her eyes slightly. She had thought that Luo Laizi was just a cowardly, idle rogue, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Luo Laizi gasped and laughed angrily, "Damn it, you little bitch, you're quite strong!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked Lin Qi hard in the stomach. Lin Qi ducked down, grabbed the branch and rolled to the side of the road. Luo Laizi's kick missed, inertia made him unstable, and with the branch dragging him, he fell forward again.

In order to avoid falling to the ground, Luo Laizi had no choice but to let go of the branch in his hand.

In the first round, Lin Qi narrowly won. However, her condition was even worse than Luo Laizi's, because she had been forcing her supernatural powers to run very fast, and her body felt like it was crushed by a heavy object, and every part of it seemed to explode, causing her to break out in cold sweats due to the pain.

Luo Laizi spat, "You little bastard are quite agile!"

Luo Laizi's attitude also became serious. He picked up the dustpan that Lin Qi had placed aside and broke off a branch. The branch he broke off was thicker and longer than Lin Qi's. Lin Qi watched him do this and could not stop him.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't match the other person's speed.

Luo Laizi had both a "shield" and a "spear", and when they fought again, Lin Qi was quickly at a disadvantage and was hit by the opponent's tree branches several times.

The place where she was hit was burning with pain, and Lin Qi gasped quietly. When Luo Laizi swung the branch again, this time, it was her turn to grab Luo Laizi's branch. At the same time, she threw away her own, bent down to grab the dirt, and threw it at Luo Laizi on the opposite side -

Her movements were smooth and seamless. Luo Laizi had not expected her to do this and hurriedly covered his eyes with a dustpan, but he was still half a step too slow and the dust got into his eyes.

The time is now!

Lin Qi threw Luo Laizi to the ground, sat on him, and slapped him hard in the face. With a slap, Luo Laizi was stunned. The next second, he knocked Lin Qi over and retaliated by slapping her in the face.

The two of them tangled up and fought. Lin Qi was not as strong as Luo Laizi, but she was just as flexible. Her nails were thin and had not been cut for a few days. They were slightly longer, thin and long, and looked very sharp. They left bloody scratches on Luo Laizi's face, exposed shoulders, arms, and other places.

But she herself was not much better. Luo Laizi was an adult man, and when he beat someone, he could hit them with one punch after another and could kill them.

After struggling for about a quarter of an hour, Luo Laizi was afraid that he might get into trouble by beating the man, and that it would be a waste of time just for a few fish and shrimp. So he pulled Lin Qi off his body and threw her aside like a little chicken.

"I'll let you go today!" Luo Laizi said viciously.

Lin Qi slumped on the ground, staring coldly at Luo Laizi, like a wolf cub that had been mad all the time, looking a bit creepy. Luo Laizi didn't dare to look into her eyes, and didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked straight towards the wooden barrel.

He pulled aside the weeds on top of the barrel and saw the barrel full of fish. He couldn't help but exclaim, "So many!"

This fight was worth it!

Luo Laizi thought.

He picked up the bucket and was about to leave, but a dark shadow came from behind and hit him hard. He couldn't control himself and fell forward. The bucket flew out of his hand and rolled to the ground.

Fish and shrimp were scattered all over the ground.

Luo Laizi was really angry this time. His patience was completely exhausted at this moment and he wanted to kill someone!

Luo Laizi turned around and looked at Lin Qi who was lying on the side of the road. He walked towards Lin Qi step by step and said with gritted teeth, "You are such a fool. You are willing to give up your life for a little fish!"

As he said that, he raised his foot and was about to step on Lin Qi's chest.

"Who's there?"

A deep voice came from not far away, along with the sound of steady footsteps.

Luo Laizi was startled and hurriedly retracted his foot. He then hastily picked up two two-pound carps on the ground, then without looking back, jumped into the sorghum field and disappeared.

As soon as Luo Laizi left, the energy that had been supporting Lin Qi also dissipated. She lay powerlessly on the ground, her chest heaving violently. So be it, the person who came couldn't be worse than Luo Laizi.

The footsteps slowly approached. I thought that the voice and footsteps would come from a sturdy middle-aged man, but unexpectedly it was a teenager, and someone I knew - Xu Hexiao.

How come he is here?

Shouldn't he be with the pioneering team, picking up and moving stones, doing the most tiring and heaviest work?

Lin Qi originally didn't know about Xu Hexiao's situation, but San Ya was a chatterbox and a gossiper, especially about Xu Hexiao, the bad guy in the team. She knew the love-hate entanglement between Xu Hexiao and Luo Daluo Fei and others like the back of her hand.

It was also from Sanya that she learned the reason why Luo Da hated Xu Hexiao - in the winter when Luo Da was six years old, he was taken by his parents to beg at Xu's house, suffering from hunger and cold, and was driven away by the Xu's servants. As soon as the family left the back door of Xu's house, when they passed by the front door of Xu's house, they saw Xu Hexiao holding snow-white steamed buns and feeding wild dogs there. From that day on, Xu Hexiao became Luo Da's enemy.

After listening to this, Lin Qi didn't feel much and was not interested in the hatred between them.

But this time, Xu Hexiao helped her, so she owed him a favor.

Favors are the hardest to repay.

"It's you, little fool."

Xu Hexiao looked down at Lin Qi, and seeing her bruised and swollen face and her clothes torn in several places, he thought she had been violated. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw her pants were intact.

Lin Qi was also looking at Xu Hexiao. She found that Xu Hexiao's head was tied with a piece of rag and blood had dyed most of the rag red. She vaguely knew why he did not go to work.

But how was he injured?

Could it be that he was beaten?

Lin Qi didn't say anything, but Xu Hexiao laughed at himself, "Are we in the same boat? You are a fool who has been abandoned, and I am a bad guy. It's hard to say which of us is more miserable."

As Xu Hexiao spoke, he did not expect a response from Lin Qi. He simply squatted down and helped Lin Qi pick up the fish and shrimp on the ground and put them back into the wooden barrel.

Lin Qi lay on the ground and watched the other party pick up the fish and shrimp. She thought, it would be good if Xu Hexiao took her bucket of fish and shrimp, then she wouldn't have to owe him a favor.

However, things did not develop in the direction Lin Qi expected. Xu Hexiao picked up all the fish and shrimp and put them back into the bucket, covered it with water plants, but did not take any fish or shrimp. He turned to Lin Qi and asked, "Can you walk?"

Lin Qi had already recovered her breath by now. She slowly stood up, but just as she stood up, her half-dry clothes were soaked with sweat again.

"I can walk." She gritted her teeth.

At this moment, Xu Hexiao seemed to see another self in the stubborn girl. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "I'll help you get the dustpan and bucket, you follow behind."

Xu Hexiao was taking care of Lin Qi, so he walked slowly. He didn't look back, nor did he talk to Lin Qi. Lin Qi didn't speak on her own initiative either. It was hard for her to say a word now.

The two of them walked like this until they entered the village, and then Xu Hexiao stopped.

"I can only send you here. It's not good to let others see you and me walking together." Xu Hexiao explained. He felt complicated. He hoped that this little fool could understand what he meant, but he also hoped that she didn't understand.

Xu Hexiao put down the bucket and dustpan and turned to leave, but Lin Qi called out to him, "Wait."

Xu Hexiao turned around and looked at Lin Qi in confusion. Lin Qi squatted down and took out the only remaining two-pound carp and two one-pound fish from the bucket. She wrapped the three fish with water plants and handed them to Xu Hexiao, "Here you go."

"I don't want it." Xu Hexiao shook his head. He helped her not for any reward, but just out of a tiny bit of compassion and a trace of unwillingness.

"For grandpa." Lin Qi reminded him.

Xu Hexiao was stunned, hesitated for three seconds, and took the ball of water plants wrapped around the fish.

"Thank you." The boy's voice was slightly hoarse.

When Lin Qi slowly walked back to the educated youth point, Ming Kangjian and the other six had already finished work and returned. Seeing her miserable state, they were all stunned.

"What happened?" Ming Kangjian asked with a worried look on his face. He immediately had bad guesses about the little fool who was beaten, had his clothes torn and was almost naked.

In fact, not only Ming Kangjian, the other five people also had the same idea - could it be that this little fool had been violated?

For a moment, anger, sympathy and pity surged in their hearts.

Jian Tongyi clenched his fists and said, "Whoever did this, I'll help you beat him up!"

"Beating him is not enough, we should call the police, put him in jail, and shoot him!" Gan Tian gritted his teeth, his eyes red.

"Yes, call the police and shoot him!" Ma Guizhi was no longer jealous of Lin Qi. As a woman, she was also angry about Lin Qi's experience.

Lin Qi herself was a little confused, "Shooting?"

Should people be shot for fighting?

"It's hooliganism, he deserves to be shot!" Gan Tian said angrily.

Only then did Lin Qi realize that they had misunderstood, and she explained, "No, I was a hooligan. I was fighting. Someone was trying to steal my fish and shrimp."
