Chapter 31 Hunting

The jungle is dense and the mountain roads are rugged, making it difficult to walk, let alone run.

Zhao Yi, who was at the front, had cuts all over his body from the branches. He seemed to be unaware of the pain and only wanted to escape from the deep mountains.

"What did you lose just now?" Jian Yitong asked.

"Two pheasants." Lin Qi said.

The two pheasants could buy them some time, but she didn't know how long that time would last or whether the two wolves would catch up with them.

"They are nowhere to be seen." Jian Tongyi said again.

Lin Qi turned her head and looked back, and indeed there was no trace of the two wolves.

But neither of them stopped.

Now they are climbing up the mountain. After they cross this hill and then another hill, there will be a village outside and they will be safe.

As they were getting higher and higher, their vision became wider and wider, and Lin Qi saw two wolves chasing after them.

Not only Lin Qi, but others also saw it.

"It's over, they have identified us." Mo Mingyang said with a sad face.

"I'm so tired. I can't run anymore." Ma Guizhi's chest heaved violently, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of despair.

"You have to run even if you can't run anymore, unless you want to stay and feed the wolves." Ming Kangjian said coldly, still holding Gan Tian's arm in his hand.

"I sprained my ankle." Gan Tian cried, she was more desperate than Ma Guizhi, and looked at Ming Kangjian with pitiful eyes, "Will you abandon me?"

"No." Ming Kangjian said firmly. He squatted down and said, "Come up."

His words were like the sound of nature, and sweet tears fell silently. She lay obediently on Ming Kangjian's back, with a hungry wolf behind her, but at this moment she had an illusion that as long as Ming Kangjian was there, she would be safe.

"At our current speed, we will be caught up soon," Jian Yi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two wolves appeared before their eyes, and the first to be attacked were the two people who were at the end.

"Run!" Jian Tongyi let go of Lin Qi's hand, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the two wolves.

Not accurate enough!

There is not enough strength!

Lin Qi commented in her heart.

"Don't just stand there, run!" Jian Tong was so anxious that he wanted to curse. He risked his life to stay and stop the hungry wolf, why didn't she run away!

Are you really stupid?

Jian Tong looked at the wolf flying towards him, feeling despair in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and pounced forward.

call out!

The vine flew out, accurately wrapped around the wolf's head, and slid down to the wolf's neck.

bundle!

"Come and help!"

Lin Qi shouted.

Jian Yi missed his move and turned to look to the side, and saw Lin Qi holding a green vine in her hand, and the other side of the vine was tied to the neck of one of the wolves.

Without thinking too much, he immediately took the vine from Lin Qi's hand and ran to the side.

Bang!

The wolf lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Jian Tongyi did not dare to relax and continued to run hard, dragging the wolf's body sliding on the ground.

At the same time, Lin Qi was swinging the vine in her hand to lasso another wolf. Her speed and accuracy were not bad, but the other wolf was alert, and after several rounds, she failed to lasso it, but the wolf was also unable to move forward.

Jian Tongyi and Lin Qi made quite a noise. Zhao Yi and Mo Mingyang, who had already run for some distance, looked back and saw that they were fighting with the wolves. They also picked up stones and threw them down from a high place.

Ming Kangjian also put down Gan Tian and turned back to help.

But apart from throwing stones, they couldn't think of any better way for the time being.

The wolf began to retreat until the vines and stones in Lin Qi's hand could no longer touch it. Then it stopped, staring at Lin Qi with its pair of wolf eyes.

It was more afraid of the long vine than the stones.

At this time, the wolf trapped in the vines had been pulled dozens of meters away by Jian Tongyi. Jian Tongyi was still struggling forward, but the life or death of the wolf behind him was unknown.

The only remaining wolf looked in the direction of Jian Tong, then looked at Lin Qi, turned around and ran into the deep forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

call--

Zhao Yi and Mo Mingyang fell to the ground, their bodies limp, their legs trembling, and their clothes soaked with sweat.

"I almost lost my life." Zhao Yi was still frightened.

Mo Mingyang agreed, "No wonder people don't dare to go into the mountains easily even though they know there is meat in the mountains. It's too dangerous."

"I will never come to the mountains again." Ma Guizhi said while wiping her tears.

Gan Tian breathed softly, "It's okay to find wild fruits and pick up chestnuts. But hunting is not recommended."

"Where is Jane Tongyi?" Ming Kangjian looked around.

"Over there." Lin Qi pointed in a direction.

Ming Kangjian looked over and saw Jian Tongyi gritting his teeth and grabbing the vines to go up the mountain.

Jane strangled a wolf to death.

Zhao Yi, Mo Mingyang and Ming Kangjian were all stunned when watching this scene.

"Is he really dead?" Zhao Yi couldn't believe it.

Ming Kangjian stepped forward and kicked the wolf's body. "No movement. It is indeed dead."

Mo Mingyang slapped Jian Tongyi and said, "Brother, you are awesome!"

Jian Tongyi was knocked to the ground and laughed foolishly, "I actually killed a wolf."

"Yes, you killed a wolf." Mo Mingyang said with a sour tone.

"This is enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life, it's awesome!" Zhao Yi gave him a thumbs up.

Ming Kangjian said with admiration, "You are really awesome. Thanks to you today, otherwise we would be in danger."

Jian Yitong became more rational after being praised by them. He explained, "This is not my own achievement. It was Lin Qi who used vines to trap the wolf's neck, so I was able to run away by pulling the vines. Otherwise, I couldn't do it alone."

Speaking of which, Jane went to check the vine around the wolf's neck. "How did she find such a vine and tie it in such a short time?"

"The speed of the explosion before death?" Zhao Yi asked uncertainly.

"Probably." Jian Tongyi looked at the girl not far away. The girl, who was usually ignorant and slow in reaction, now inexplicably had a sense of mystery.

"It's still deep in the mountains here, it's not safe yet, let's leave first." Ming Kangjian reminded everyone, he directed Zhao Yi and Mo Mingyang, "Can you two work together to lift this wolf?"

"No problem." Zhao Yi and Mo Mingyang agreed very readily.

Ming Kangjian went to see Jian Tongyi again, "Can you still walk?"

Jane nodded, "Okay."

"Well, let's go."

The person who led the way was Lin Qi, followed by Jian Tongyi, then Ma Guizhi, then Zhao Yi and Mo Mingyang, and finally Ming Kangjian who was carrying Gan Tian on his back.

Everyone in the group felt a little exhausted, and by the time they came out of the mountains, the sun was about to set.

"There is still a small hill. Once we cross it, we will almost reach the village. Come on, everyone." Jian Tongyi encouraged everyone.

"We can't do it anymore, Tongyi, come here and replace us." Zhao Yi said breathlessly.

"You and Lin Qi come. I think her breathing is quite stable." Mo Mingyang also wanted to rest, and Jian Tong alone was not enough to replace the two of them.

As for Ma Guizhi, she wished she could stay three meters away from the wolf and was directly eliminated by Mo Mingyang.

Jian Yitong looked at Lin Qi, "Do you still have the strength?"

Lin Qi said expressionlessly, "Yes."

At the beginning, Jian Tong put most of the weight on his side, but after walking for a while, he found himself exhausted, while Lin Qi's breathing was still steady.

"How about you help me share some of the burden?" Jian Tongyi said shamelessly.

Lin Qi glanced at him and said, "Change seats."

"Okay." Jane smiled foolishly.

After changing positions, Jian Tong's pressure was greatly reduced. The two of them worked together and climbed over the top of the mountain. Finally, they arrived at the foot of the mountain and the road became flat.

"You must be tired, now it's our turn." Mo Mingyang and Zhao Yi walked over.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yitong immediately gave up his seat to the two of them.

Lin Qi also moved aside, she felt relieved.

"I want to go to the river." Lin Qi said.

"I want to go too." Jian Yitong said, and went to look at the wolf corpse again. "Forget it, I'll go back to the educated youth camp first."

Lin Qi nodded, separated from the team, and headed towards the river.

Looking at her slow back, Jian Yitong frowned. At this moment, Lin Qi seemed to have returned to her usual self, completely different from the calmness, sharpness, and flexibility she had in the mountains today.

Did he feel wrong?

Lin Qi went to take a bath in the river, and it was dark when she came back.

She did not go to the educated youth site, but went to the straw hut first.

When she arrived, Xu Hexiao and Old Man Xu were having dinner.

Seeing her wet appearance, Xu Hexiao frowned, "Why don't you go home and change clothes first?"

"There are wolves in the mountains. I came to inform you." Lin Qi said.

Xu Hexiao was startled. "You met a wolf? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine. Don't go to the mountains in the near future." Lin Qi warned.

"I understand. Have you had dinner? Stay here and eat. I've cooked fish." Xu Hexiao got the bowl and chopsticks for Lin Qi without waiting for her to refuse.

"I'll serve the food. You take Miss Lin to change her clothes. Her clothes are still wet." Old Man Xu reminded Xu Hexiao.

"This..." Xu Hexiao hesitated, "The clothes in the room are mine, do you want to wear them?"

His clothes were old and could only barely cover his body, and he was not sure whether Lin Qi would be willing to wear them.

Lin Qi didn't think too much about it, "Wear it."

Xu Hexiao and Old Man Xu's room was very simple, with only a bed and a simple wardrobe made of bamboo.

Xu Hexiao brought her a set of clothes and went out. "Come over for dinner after you've changed."

There was only enough dinner for two people, so Xu Hexiao planned to cook another bowl of noodles.

When Lin Qi changed her clothes and came over, Xu Hexiao had already started making a fire.

Lin Qi took out the clay pot from her backpack, and came to the stove. She put the fallen leaves in the clay pot into the stove, took out the eggs inside, and said, "I picked up some pheasant eggs."

"Keep it for yourself," Xu Hexiao said, but he didn't dare look at her. Under the firelight, the woman's skin outside her clothes was whiter than snow.

"No, I'll go to the mountains to eat wild boar meat." These days she didn't have to cut grass for the pigs, and she could eat two meals a day in the cave. On the contrary, Xu Hexiao couldn't go to the cave because he had to herd cattle.

After hearing this, Xu Hexiao stopped persuading him.

After dinner, Lin Qi changed back into her own clothes and Xu Hexiao sent her back to the educated youth site.

However, before they got close, they saw that the educated youth's place was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

"I can only take you here." Xu Hexiao said. If he continued forward, he might be seen by others.

Lin Qi hummed, and the two separated.

Inside the educated youth site, the team leader, deputy team leader, accountant and others surrounded the wolf on the ground and frowned.

"How come the wolves in the deep mountains have run to the outskirts?" said Captain Luo Feng.

It’s only the depth of two hills, and it’s indeed only on the outer edge.

"People who go into the mountains recently should be careful. Wolves are cunning and hold grudges. Be careful that they may take revenge on humans." The deputy captain was worried.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed into the educated youth site.

"Captain, my Luo Fu went to the mountains today and hasn't come back yet."

"My Luo Da is the same. He didn't return either."

"And my Luo Fei, they are together."
