Lin Yi smiled, "Uncle Liao came to pick her up. It just so happened that they had a day off today. Sangsang hadn't learned to ride a horse yet, so Uncle Liao and his men said they would teach her. You were sleeping when he came, so Brother Mo asked him to take Sangsang away."
When leaving, Brother Mo asked Uncle Liao not to send him back. Of course, Lin Yi didn't say this out loud.
"This Mo Guanshan! Be careful when you go out and come back before lunch." Ningxia checked that he was carrying a crossbow before giving him reassuring advice.
Now, nearly two thousand people have moved into District 1, and there are people everywhere. Many people with some financial resources have built new houses. Ningxia guessed that Lin Yi would probably return empty-handed this time.
No matter how big the bamboo forest is, it cannot withstand the greed of people. When the three of them were there, they could not dig up all the bamboo even if they tried their best.
Now that there are so many people, a path has been trampled even deep into the bamboo forest, and a lot of the surrounding bamboo has been cut down. Fortunately, the mountain resources are abundant now. If this had happened in the past, I don’t know how many people would have been arrested.
As Ningxia expected, Lin Yi got nothing except two bamboo shoots as thick as two fingers in his backpack.
He walked out of the bamboo forest unwillingly, his eyes fixed on the pine forest in the distance.
Those ferocious-looking guys over there are occupying the place, and normally no one dares to go there.
Lin Yi thought of Ningxia's enjoyment when eating mushrooms, and thought it should be okay to go to the woods and pick some mushrooms himself, right?
Last year, in order to save money for Sangsang's medical treatment, Sister Xia Xia hardly ate the mushrooms she picked at home.
Several times he saw Sister Xia Xia take out the jar of dried mushrooms, hesitate for a while, and then put it back.
She never hesitates to serve the food that the brother and sister like to eat.
Lin Yi pursed his lips and walked over there. He would go and take a look first. If he was not allowed to pick him up, he would just take him away. There were people patrolling everywhere in Area 1, and Uncle Li Gang and the others were strict, so they would not dare to do anything.
Until he arrived at the pine forest, Lin Yi didn't meet anyone. The door of Hu Hua's house was tightly closed, so he was probably not at home.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a stick and went into the pine forest.
As he expected, the only resource nearby that was worth using was the pine forest. He worked hard for a long time and picked up quite a few common mushrooms in his backpack.
He hadn't noticed the area he was walking on before he strayed further and further away. Then, he found another patch of chicken mushrooms. He happily wiped the sweat from his forehead, squatted down, and dug carefully.
The forest was silent. Lin Yi looked up. Did he hear it wrong? Why did he hear a sound? He stopped what he was doing, took the crossbow in his hand, and listened carefully. There was indeed something!
There were bursts of noise, but he couldn't hear clearly because the distance was too far. He pursed his lips and moved carefully into the depths of the woods.
"What's wrong?" Mo Guanshan asked when he saw Ningxia walking in hurriedly from outside.
Ningxia rushed into the bedroom with a quick pace, and put the gun on his waist. He did not forget to explain, "Lunch time has passed. I saw that Lin Yi had not returned yet, so I went out to shout. Someone saw him going to the pine forest."
Mo Guanshan frowned, "Who saw it? Don't tell me you're playing a prank on me."
Ningxia took out her scimitar and tucked it into her boot. "Grandma Yang down there saw it. It's been a long time. He never did this before!"
Mo Guanshan's expression hardened as he stepped forward and put his gun on his waist. "Let's go and take a look!"
Deep in the woods on this side.
"Brother, are you okay?" The thin man was still holding a machete dripping with blood in his hand. He had many scars on his body and looked very miserable.
Hu Hua wiped the blood from his forehead and said, "Damn these bastards! If we brothers hadn't come out together today, we would have been buried in this damn place!"
The thin man kicked the person on the ground and said, "Brother, she's not dead, is she?"
Only then did Lin Yi realize that there was another person lying on the ground. He followed the thin man's gaze and saw that the person on the ground, who was barely breathing and covered in blood and disheveled, could not be anyone else but Qiao Zhenzhen from Grandma Yang's family?
He pursed his lips, anger rising in his eyes, hiding behind the bushes, with the crossbow in his hand ready to fire.
Hu Hua frowned and said, "It's just right that I should die! Damn it, I live in such a remote place and still meddle in other people's business, causing me to get hurt!" After saying that, he looked at the palm-sized cut on his leg and felt like stars were circling above his head.
He waved his hands irritably, "Brothers, let's see if we can still move. Let's get out of here first! Don't let this girl die here!"
After saying that, he walked towards Qiao Zhenzhen.
Before his hand could touch Qiao Zhenzhen, a sharp bamboo arrow swished through the air and pierced his leg.
"Ah! Who!" Several men picked up their weapons again in vigilance.
Lin Yi rushed out and stood in front of Qiao Zhenzhen, "Don't touch her!"
Qiao Zhenzhen lying on the ground moved her eyes with great effort, looking at the tall figure standing in front of her. She opened her lips, but her injuries were too severe, breathing was labored, and she couldn't utter a word.
Hu Hua covered the wound, raised his finger and pointed at Lin Yi, "You...you...you fucking..." Before he could finish his words, he tilted his head and fainted.
The thin man shouted, "Brother!" Then he turned to look at Lin Yi, his small eyes full of ferocity.
"This guy is in cahoots with them, brothers, go ahead! Kill him!"
Lin Yi raised his hand and was about to shoot the arrow.
A voice came, "Let's see who dares!"
Lin Yi turned his head and looked at the figures coming out of the woods, "Sister Xia Xia! Brother Mo!"
Ningxia walked to Lin Yi, and seeing that he was fine, she glared at him fiercely and decided to settle the score with him later.
When Old Liao saw Qiao Zhenzhen lying on the ground, his eyes glared out fiercely, as if they were about to burst out. He raised his foot and kicked the skinny man fiercely, "You beast! I'll kill you!"
The thin man was already injured and was no match for Lao Liao. He was kicked onto Hu Hua and the person under him was pressed on the wound by Hu Hua. He groaned in pain while unconscious.
The thin man was about to rush forward with a knife in hand, but was frightened to the point where he stood when Lao Liao put a gun to his forehead.
The men looked at each other and squatted down with their heads in their hands skillfully.
Lei Lao Hu looked at Lao Liao who was about to pull the trigger, and quickly raised his hand. The gunshot startled countless flocks of birds.
The thin man trembled, "You...are you serious?" Then he seemed to have given up and fell to the ground crying loudly.
"What the hell is this world! I saved someone and not only did I not get any reward, I was even killed by the coalition forces! I am so angry! Just kill me! I won't live anymore! I can't be a bad guy as good as others, and I can't be a good guy either! My brother died to save people!
We worked so hard to get here, but this is the result! They live so far away, and they still won’t let us go! Kill us! We’re going to die! We’re going to die!
Mo Guanshan narrowed his eyes and looked at the knife wounds on several people, as well as the wounds on Qiao Zhenzhen's body. He didn't say anything and just watched silently.
Several men on the ground were also crying silently.
Several people were confused by the scene before them.
Li Gang pushed Lao Liao, signaling him to calm down. Then, suppressing his anger, he walked up to Lin Yi and asked, "What's going on?"
