After the group arrived at their destination...
After looking around the area, I found that the surrounding traces had been cleaned up very well, and I didn't find any useful clues.
After the group descended the mountain, Jin Hai couldn't help but say to Lin Xiaoxiao, "You've really worked hard today. You deserve a reward for helping subdue the criminal."
"The reward won't be issued so quickly; it needs to be approved by the higher-ups before it can be distributed."
"How about I treat Lin Zhiqing to dinner today?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "If there are no problems here, I'll go back first. There were two pheasants we didn't eat yesterday, and I'm afraid they'll spoil."
When Jin Hai heard Lin Xiaoxiao's reason, he was momentarily at a loss for words. Knowing that she didn't want to eat together, Jin Hai asked with a puzzled look, "Who did Lin Zhiqing learn archery from?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was silent for two seconds, then her eyes turned red. "This was something an old man used to play with me when I was going through a tough time. I was interested in it, so I never lost this skill."
Jin Hai and Fang Hui have seen Lin Xiaoxiao's information today.
They were saddened to learn that both her adoptive and biological parents had treated her badly. However, they noticed that Lin Xiaoxiao's grandfather had made meritorious contributions in the past and possessed considerable skills.
It's likely that Lin Zhiqing inherited this talent.
Jin Hai and the others looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with increasing tenderness and affection, and couldn't help but say, "Lin Zhiqing, you are absolutely amazing." He gave her a thumbs up as he spoke.
Then he continued, "However, you should still consider your own safety more in the future. Anyone who dares to pull out a knife is a dangerous person."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, I know. Actually, I was very scared at that time. We all lived in the same village. If I didn't take action, they would die."
"You are a very good child..."
"Son, with your skills, would you like to join the army? To better utilize your abilities?" Jin Hai couldn't help but ask.
"If you'd like, I can arrange it for you."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "......."
I just saved one person, and now there's another person who asked this question.
Looking into their hopeful eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao replied, "I don't have that idea. There are too many rules in military life, which is not suitable for me."
“I was controlled by my family since I was a child, so I really want to live a free life.”
Jin Hai and Fang Hui were not surprised by this answer.
That's true. If Lin Xiaoxiao was willing, why would she go to the countryside to build a new rural area?
From Lin Xiaoxiao's few simple words, Fang Hui could imagine what kind of life Lin had lived before, so she could understand her very well: "Lin Xiaoxiao's construction of a new countryside here is also a contribution to the country, which is quite good."
"It's tough living alone, so remember to contact us if you ever need anything in the future."
"Remember, from now on, point the stick at the enemy, not at your comrades."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that the police were pointing out that she had killed someone and that they thought she had been a bit ruthless.
She asked somewhat nervously, "Was I a little too cruel? To those people?"
Jin Hai quickly said, "No, no, these people are vicious and ruthless, and we shouldn't have shown them any mercy."
He paused, then said seriously, "However, whether it's self-defense, acting on impulse, or whatever else."
If this leads to negative consequences, it will leave an indelible mark on our own hearts. Therefore, I hope you can always stay true to yourself.
It's important to understand that while they have the right to choose not to pursue the matter of Lin Xiaoxiao killing the person,
However, for ordinary people, once they start killing and take the first step, no one can guarantee that they will not have the same thoughts when they encounter someone who makes them unhappy in the future.
The fear is that this behavior will become increasingly adept at, eventually spiraling out of control.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened silently, her face expressionless, because in this apocalyptic world, killing seemed to have become the norm.
How can one avoid killing in order to survive?
Even so, when the police are dealing with ordinary citizens, they still have a responsibility to offer such well-intentioned and solemn reminders.
Lin Xiaoxiao obediently agreed to their reminder.
Lin Xiaoxiao returned from outside and quietly closed the courtyard gate.
She guessed that the injured man should have woken up, so she quickened her pace toward the room.
She arrived at the door and gently pushed it open.
Sure enough, she saw that the man had woken up and was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking flustered.
Why does he look nervous?
Han Qiushi heard the sound of a door opening and closing in the courtyard. His eyes searched frantically inside the house, trying to find his clothes.
His face, which was originally pale from his injury, was now flushed with embarrassment.
His slightly trembling hands groped around on the kang (a heated brick bed), his eyes searching every nook and cranny where clothes might be hidden.
The worn-out kang mat was a bit rough on his hands, but he didn't care about that anymore. He only had one thought in his mind: to cover himself up first.
When Lin Xiaoxiao came in, she saw Han Qiushi looking flustered. She frowned slightly and wondered to herself, "Could it be because he was injured and in such a vulnerable position that he lacks a sense of security deep down?"
She was completely unaware that it was her oversight that she hadn't dressed the other person.
Lin Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, and said softly, "You're awake? How are you feeling now?"
Her voice was clear and melodious. Han Qiushi was slightly taken aback, as if he had just come back to his senses.
Lin Xiaoxiao continued, "You must have a lot of questions. Let me tell you first. This is Wangjia Village, and I am Lin Xiaoxiao, a former educated youth here."
"I saved you when you were injured this time..."
Han Qiushi was listening attentively at first, but when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao, he felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
Hearing this, he glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao a few more times, then realized something, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and hurriedly asked:
"You are...you are the girl from the train station?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised; this person had a pretty good memory. She nodded.
