Upon hearing this, Qin Qing paused, her feet sinking into a daze. The village chief down the mountain? Wasn't that their village? Thinking of the village chief who had warned her of the dangers on the mountain with a helpless expression, she hesitated for a moment before turning around.
The girl's face flashed with excitement and agitation upon seeing this, but she dared not look at Wang Yan, fearing that Qin Qing might change her mind again.
Qin Qing didn't mince words, but simply coldly expressed her disdain.
"If it weren't for the village chief's sake, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill you even if you died in front of me, given your attitude just now."
As she spoke, she walked over and broke the hunting trap.
When the girl saw what she was doing, she quickly told her to slow down.
"Sister, be careful! It's not that I look down on you, but this clamp was specially made by the village blacksmith; an ordinary woman couldn't possibly break it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Qing didn't even blink, and with a calm expression, he gently snapped the clip in two!
The girl was stunned; the rest of her sentence caught in her throat, followed by excruciating pain…
"ah!!"
Fortunately, Qin Qing was prepared and immediately dropped the hunting trap, then quickly retreated and covered her ears.
After a while, the girl finally recovered from the pain, panting with a pale face, and then looked pitifully at Qin Qing.
"Sister, could you please bandage this for me..."
It was originally a very ordinary sentence, but Qin Qing was not happy about it. She put her hands on her hips, frowned, and looked at her with a strange look in her eyes.
"Are you blind? Who goes up the mountain to dig for bamboo shoots carrying strips of cloth? Or do you expect me to tear my own clothes to bandage you? Please, who do you think you are? I'm already being lenient by helping you pry open the clips, don't push your luck!"
The woman was taken aback by what she heard, and then tears welled up in her eyes again. Her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking!
Unfortunately... there's only a heartless man and a woman who hates trouble here!
Seeing Qin Qing turn and leave without a word, the girl finally realized that her self-inflicted injury had no effect. She gritted her teeth, tore a strip of cloth from the hem of her skirt, wrapped her foot briefly, and chased after the two while holding onto the bamboo, calling out to them all the while.
"Dear sister, wait for me!"
But the two people in front of them paid no attention!
The girl could only endure the pain and follow. There wasn't even a wooden stick in the surrounding snow, only flexible bamboo...
After walking for a while, Qin Qing turned around to take the wild rabbit from Wang Yan's hand.
"I almost forgot, give me the rabbit! I didn't expect it to be so heavy despite looking so thin...it must have a lot of meat on it...hehe!"
The rabbit seemed to realize what the woman in front of it was thinking, and its already despondent body stiffened even more... Waaah! Shameless humans!
Just then, an incredulous gasp came from behind.
"A rabbit...a rabbit? You want to eat a rabbit? Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them, sister? That's so cruel!"
Classic line!! Qin Qing instantly thought of that classic line from modern times. She never expected that she would encounter a green tea bitch in ancient times, even though she had never met one in modern times!
Then she turned slightly, looking at the girl with a sinister gaze and an extremely wicked smile.
"Hehe, I not only want to eat rabbit meat, I also want to make spicy rabbit heads! Stir-fried rabbit meat! Steamed rabbit brains! Braised rabbit lungs! Pan-fried rabbit legs! And I'll even make a scarf out of the fur! Hehe..."
Girl: "..." Mom! How scary! There's a pervert here!!
Wang Yan: What to do! She's so cute! How can his wife be so adorable!
After Qin Qing finished speaking, she snorted coldly and left directly. Wang Yan stayed close by, while the girl stood alone in the wind, bewildered.
Half an hour later, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon... Qin Qing and his companion had just come down the mountain and encountered more than ten villagers who were preparing to go up the mountain.
Qin Qing was wondering why the village chief was being so considerate, since it was supposed to be after 3 o'clock. He smiled and before he could speak, the village chief rushed over.
"Girl, have you seen my Ah Rui? Sixteen years old, a little shorter than you, wearing a pink dress..."
Qin Qing's smile froze for two seconds before returning to normal...
"Oh, I see it! Isn't it right behind me?"
After saying that, she pointed to the pink figure in the distance behind her and said, "Wow, you're pretty quick!"
Upon seeing this, the village chief's face lit up with joy, and he quickly ran over. A woman among the villagers visibly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Qin Qing's side, and looked at Qin Qing, saying...
"Thank you so much, young lady. This is the village chief's only child. What would we do if something happened to him?"
After saying that, she quickly noticed the rabbit in Qin Qing's hand and exclaimed in surprise.
"A... hare? And a brown one at that..."
A gasp drew almost everyone's attention! Faced with the crowd's astonishment and subtle covetousness, Qin Qing simply nodded calmly and smiled.
"Yes, it took me a lot of effort!"
Upon hearing this, the woman seemed to realize that she had exaggerated, but she still sighed.
"Young lady, you don't know, there are two kinds of rabbits on our mountain. One is white, which is quite fast and blends in with the snow in winter, making it especially difficult to catch! The other kind is the brown one in your hand, which is extremely fast and very clever, almost impossible to catch! I didn't expect you to be so lucky!"
Seeing this, Qin Qing nodded. Good luck? You're kidding, it was clearly because she and Wang Yan were exceptionally skilled that they caught it! She wasn't some Mary Sue protagonist with a halo who could find treasures wherever she went.
At this moment, the girl and the village chief behind them also came down.
“You were so careless! This mountain is so dangerous. If something happened to you, how could I face your deceased mother? Let the village doctor take a look later, just in case you’ve broken any bones.”
Qin Qing, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, a hint of surprise on his face. Seeing that the girl didn't offer any explanation or even a thank you, he said...
"The village chief is right. It's good to see the village doctor. Although no bones or tendons are broken, a flesh wound shouldn't be underestimated. What if the wound heals by the time we get there?"
She's not the kind of person who does good deeds and then keeps it to herself!
The village chief was taken aback, not quite understanding her meaning, and then the woman beside him spoke up.
"Young lady, you can't just say things like that. You're not a doctor, and you haven't even examined Arui's wound. How do you know that the bones and tendons aren't injured?"
Upon hearing this, the girl beside her stiffened, and was about to make an excuse when Qin Qing spoke first.
She looked at the girl in surprise, and then said directly.
“I don’t like hearing that, Auntie. First, I was the one who helped pry open the trap when Arui got caught, so I’ve seen the wound. Second, how do you know I’m not a doctor? Well, I happen to be a doctor! I’m sure Arui only has superficial wounds and that the bones and tendons aren’t damaged!”
