Chapter 97 I dare not admit it

The couple rushed towards Lin Qi together, but their movements were not as fast as Lin Qi. Lin Qi avoided them and successfully opened the bag.

Crash——

Gold, silver, jade, emerald and other jewelry fell out of the bag.

One can only roughly see the material of these jewellery, but it is still impossible to judge their quality because they are either covered in dirt or have been partially oxidised.

This is something that just came out of the soil.

"You two are tomb robbers!" The conductor immediately guessed the identities of the couple.

"The evidence is conclusive, arrest the person first." said another flight attendant.

The man and woman looked at each other, pushed the two children towards the flight attendant, and then rushed out themselves.

The man and the woman ran away, and the police chased them. The two boys didn't realize what was happening, and they also cried "Mom and Dad" and chased after them. In less than a minute, only Lin Qi and the woman holding the child on the upper bunk were left at the scene.

Lin Qi silently tied up the four sacks again. Coincidentally, at this moment, the radio sounded, announcing that they had arrived in Zhoucheng.

Lin Qi picked up her bag, put the four sacks on the aisle outside, and tied them to the shoulder pole.

"Oh, you're leaving now, what should we do with these things?" the woman asked nervously.

"It's none of my business, why can't I leave?" Lin Qi asked back.

"These things are not watched, and others come to steal them--"

"No." Lin Qi said, "Someone is coming."

As Lin Qi finished speaking, two flight attendants came over.

Lin Qi picked up the sack and walked briskly towards the door before the attendant arrived.

After leaving the station, Lin Qi glanced at the time. It was 1:30 in the morning.

She did not inform her family in advance that she would be returning today, so no one came to wait for Lin Qi.

Lin Qi recalled the way she came to the station last time and found that she was so focused on listening to gossip that she forgot to remember the way.

She did remember the address of her home, but how did she get there?

Lin Qi had a headache.

When all the people who got off the bus had left, she was left standing there alone.

"Is that you?" The police officer, who had changed into plain clothes, walked towards Lin Qi. "Why aren't you leaving? Is there no one to pick you up?"

The person in front of me is one of the two flight attendants.

Lin Qi hummed, "I forgot to tell my family."

The police officer looked at Lin Qi's four sacks, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll take you back."

Under normal circumstances, Lin Qi would definitely not agree, but it was different now. She didn't know the way. The flight attendant was carrying a bag and looked like he had just got off work and was going home. It was obvious that he was a local of Zhoucheng and should be familiar with Zhoucheng.

"I live in Shajing Street." Lin Qi said.

The police officer was a little surprised. "What a coincidence? I'm on Baisha Street, next to Shajing Street."

The flight attendant was holding a small handbag, while Lin Qi was carrying a backpack and four large sacks, which was a sharp contrast.

"Let me help you carry it." The conductor grabbed Lin Qi's shoulder pole.

Lin Qi didn't let go, "Just help me carry this bag."

As she spoke, Lin Qi stuffed her backpack into the conductor's arms, and then she mustered up her courage and walked out of the station.

Seeing this, the conductor didn't force me and just put the bag behind him.

Lin Qi didn't know the road, so she deliberately slowed down. After the conductor caught up, the two of them walked forward side by side.

"How come there is so much meat in your bag?" asked the flight attendant.

"I got it from hunting in the mountains." Lin Qi replied.

"Go hunting in the mountains? Which mountains?"

“Is this an interrogation?”

"Just take that as an excuse. It's my fault for not asking where all this meat came from."

"The mountains over there in Yao County. I am an educated youth who went to the countryside."

"Are there so many game animals in the mountains?"

"Not bad. Our team hunted more than twenty wolves a while ago."

"So many! How did you hunt them? With a gun?"

"No. It was hunted by experienced team members."

"Then your team can often eat meat, right?"

"There is a limited amount of prey. If you kill too many, there will be none left."

"What about those things in your sack—"

"I saved it specially to bring it back to my family."

"............"

Along the way, the conductor found out the information he wanted, and Lin Qi also learned that the conductor's name was Zou Fan.

"My home is inside. Thank you for sending me back." Lin Qi said.

Zou Fan handed the backpack to Lin Qi, "You're welcome."

Lin Qi carried her backpack and picked up the load, "I'm going back now, take care."

"Goodbye." Zou Fan turned around and walked towards Baisha Street.

Everyone in the compound had gone to bed, and Lin Qi walked upstairs step by step, her steps light. Only when she reached the familiar gate did she put down the things on her shoulders.

The sound of knocks on the door rang out in the dark night.

The first person to hear the sound was Lin's mother, who had a weaker sleep, and she called out from inside the door, "Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me." Lin Qi replied.

Next came the sound of urgent footsteps.

"Why are you running so fast? What happened?" Lin's father also woke up.

"Dad, it's Qiqi, Qiqi is back!"

The door creaked open.

In the darkness, Lin's mother only saw a tall figure. For a moment, Lin's mother was stunned. "Who are you? Where is my Qiqi?"

Lin Qi's body stiffened, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. Did Mother Lin realize that she was not the original owner?

Lin Qi and Lin's mother didn't say anything or move, and the atmosphere became inexplicably tense.

This tension lasted until Father Lin lit the kerosene lamp. Under the dim kerosene lamp, Father Lin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is this?"

Lin Qi: “….”

Damn it, Dad Lin also doubted her identity.

"Mom and Dad, who's here?" Brother Lin also walked out of the room.

Mother Lin rubbed her eyes and said hesitantly, "This person looks a bit like our Qiqi, but also seems a bit different. She is too tall and a little fatter than Qiqi."

Before Lin Qi went to the countryside, she was less than 1.6 meters tall. Now she is nearly 1.7 meters tall, a head taller than Lin Ma.

Lin Qi silently wiped the sweat from her head. It turned out that they didn't dare to recognize her just because of the changes in height and appearance.

"Dad, bring the kerosene lamp over here." Big Brother Lin ordered Dad Lin.

Lin Qi's mouth twitched. "Must I recognize him outside the door? Can't you let me in first?"

"She speaks so fluently, it's definitely not our Qiqi." said Mother Lin.

Lin Qi: “….”

It looks like she's going to use force.

Lin Qi grabbed Lin Ma's hand and took her home. "I've been in the car for more than ten hours and I'm exhausted. Let's sit down and talk."

After entering the door, the dining table is just a few steps away.

When Lin Qi and Lin Ma sat down at the dining table, Lin Ma still hadn't come to her senses.

Lin Qi put down her backpack and put her face in front of Lin's mother, "Mom, look at me again."

Big Brother Lin and Father Lin also sat down at the table. Lin Qi turned to them and said, "Dad and brother, take a look too."

Mother Lin was stunned and looked a little dazed.

Father Lin rubbed his eyes, not daring to believe what he saw.

Only Brother Lin laughed, "You are really getting more and more naughty. You scared us all."

"I mentioned in the letter that I've grown taller and gained weight. It's not my fault." Lin Qi said innocently.

"But you didn't tell me how tall you've grown." Brother Lin said helplessly, "Also, there's one more important thing - you're getting more and more fluent in speaking. Why didn't you tell me about that?"

"I forgot." Lin Qi really forgot.

Brother Lin: “….”

Father Lin came back to his senses, "Is this really our Qiqi?"

"Dad, it's genuine." Lin Qi said seriously.

Woo woo woo——

Mother Lin next to her suddenly burst into tears. She covered her face with her hands, crying in a suppressed yet happy way.

Lin Qi's heart felt like being stabbed by a needle. She stood up and hugged Lin's mother. Lin's mother also hugged her, buried her head in her waist, and sobbed, her tears soaking Lin Qi's clothes.

Father Lin and Brother Lin's eyes also became moist.

Mother Lin cried for about ten minutes. Lin Qi was afraid that she would hurt her eyes if she continued crying, so she said, "Don't cry, come and see the gifts I brought back for you. Brother, my things are still outside the door, go get them. They are a little heavy, be careful."

Brother Lin stood up, and only then did they notice that the door was not closed and the cold wind was blowing in.

"I'll go help too." Father Lin also went to the door.

"Dad, this thing is heavy, please be careful with your waist." Lin Qi reminded.

Hearing Lin Qi repeatedly reminding her that the things were heavy, Lin's mother stopped crying and wiped her tears hastily. She turned her head and looked at the door. "What is so heavy? How did you bring it back by yourself?"

"It's some food." Lin Qi said.

"Not just a few, but four large sacks." Brother Lin carried them home one by one. "How did you bring them back?"

"I'm stronger now." Lin Qi said, yawning, "Close the door and go to sleep first, I'm sleepy."

"Yes, yes, go to bed first. We can talk about it tomorrow." Mother Lin stood up and took Lin Qi to her room. "Qi Qi and I will sleep tonight. You and your son can sleep together."

That night, Lin Qi was hugged by her mother like a human pillow all night.

When she woke up in the morning, it was already bright outside. She got dressed and came out, and saw the four people in the family sitting at the table, all looking at her.

The lighting was too dim yesterday, and when they looked at Lin Qi again, Lin's father, mother and elder brother were stunned again. Is this really their Qi Qi?

This one looks a bit too good!

Lin Miaomiao, who had slept too deeply last night and didn't wake up, was so shocked when she saw Lin Qi that she widened her eyes, "Is this really that idiot Lin Qi?"

As soon as she said this, she was slapped by Mother Lin.

With a crisp sound, Lin Miaomiao jumped up from her seat, "Mom, you hit me too hard!"

"You deserve it!" Lin's mother said coldly, "Next time I hear you call your sister a fool, I will beat her with a stick."

Lin Miaomiao rubbed the place where she was hit and asked again, "Is she really my sister Lin Qi? Have you confirmed it?"

Lin Qi, that skinny and short dwarf, is now half a head taller than her. How is this possible!

"Sister, is your pocket money still hidden in your stinky socks?" Lin Qi said lightly.

"What stinky socks? They don't smell at all!" Lin Miaomiao retorted subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she was stunned. Except for her silly sister, no one knew that her pocket money was hidden in her socks.

So this tall, beautiful woman in front of her, with skin whiter and more translucent than fine porcelain, is really her silly sister!
