Chapter 129 I don't have a habit of not hitting women
After delivering the items, Palong left. Qin Suisui glanced at the contents of her hand and was so surprised that her eyes widened. There were several pieces of wild agarwood, honey wax cakes, dried python gall, two bolts of hemp cloth with Li ethnic characteristics, and various Li medicine antidote pills.
Before she could even finish being shocked, Parman had already come over carrying two large wicker baskets, which were filled with the pheasants and pigeons he had hunted that morning, as well as various kinds of smoked and dried pheasant meat, wild boar meat, mountain rat meat, and Eld's deer meat.
Clearly, one of the baskets was for Qin Suisui, and the other for Jia Zhenzhen. And the one for Qin Suisui obviously had more items; it really was...
Parman then pointed to the bag at the bottom of Qin Suisui's basket: "I see you really like these smoked meats and mountain rice. This bag contains mountain rice and rice seeds. What else would you like?"
He pointed to the pile of smoked meat hanging under the eaves, giving off an air of "Take whatever you want, you can take it all if you want."
Qin Suisui swallowed hard and quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, there's already plenty in the basket, enough for me to eat for a long time. Besides, it's not like I'm not coming back."
Paman, who had been expressionless, seemed to light up when he heard her last sentence.
Then he pulled out a small bow and arrow that looked like a slingshot from his pocket: "Here, take this. It won't attract attention if you use it outside, but it's enough to deal with ordinary beasts in the forest."
Qin Suisui became interested. She picked up a bullet and fired it at the dead tree in the distance. With a muffled "thud," the bullet pierced straight into the middle of the dead tree. The next second, a section of the dead tree, more than two meters long, instantly split in two.
Qin Suisui was stunned. How could such a small slingshot be so lethal?
Parman then handed her a packet of green bullets: "These bullets are poisonous and will dissolve automatically in the body of humans or animals. Don't use them unless absolutely necessary." After he finished speaking, he also handed her a packet of brown antidote pills.
Jia Zhenzhen watched with envy and quickly moved closer, saying, "This slingshot looks amazing, can you give me one too?"
Parman frowned, seemingly hesitant. He looked at Jia Zhenzhen and asked, "You really want it?"
Jia Zhenzhen nodded.
After careful consideration, Parman beckoned to someone outside and whispered something in his ear. Soon, the person jogged away and returned shortly with a slingshot similar to Qin Suisui's, but clearly made of inferior material.
Parman said expressionlessly, "Her bow is custom-made."
The meaning is simple: Qin Suisui's slingshot is different from ordinary slingshots in both materials and craftsmanship, and cannot be replicated.
But Jia Zhenzhen was already very satisfied. She was only interested in the slingshot. After thanking them happily, she took the slingshot and tried it out in the distance. It was very powerful. Although it was not as powerful as Qin Suisui's, it was still much more powerful than ordinary slingshots. It was truly worthy of the Li people, who were famous for hunting!
They seemed to take a different route back. Parman led the way with a large, fully loaded basket on his back, while Qin Suisui and Jia Zhenzhen followed behind. Jia Zhenzhen occasionally used a slingshot to shoot chickens and birds, while Qin Suisui was busy memorizing the route.
Now that she has become Palon's apprentice, she will definitely come back every now and then. The things Palon taught her yesterday, as well as the Li medicine manual he gave her, are very precious. She will not let down someone who has given her such sincerity.
It took them two days and one night to get there, but only half a day to leave. Parman probably led them along the shortest route, but Qin Suisui still couldn't remember how to get there.
Around 4 PM, they had already reached the outskirts of the wild forest, and Qin Suisui discovered that there was actually a farm there.
She had heard before that there were several farms in the wild forest. Generally, those "monsters and demons" who had committed serious crimes would be sent there. The people on these farms were mainly responsible for clearing land in the wild forest, which was almost the most arduous and hard work on Qiongtan Island.
After passing the farm and walking a little further, you'll emerge from the wild forest.
Parman brought them here, handed the huge basket to Jia Zhenzhen to carry, and before turning around, looked at Qin Suisui and said, "Next time you come back, blow the bone whistle and I'll come to pick you up."
Bone whistle?
Qin Suisui was slightly taken aback. Following his gaze, she looked at the slingshot in her hand and then noticed that the front of the slingshot handle was actually shaped like a small whistle. How interesting!
"I blew this, and you could hear it from so far away?" She was still a little curious.
Parman nodded, then added, "If I can't, then Ancestral Spirits and Big Flower can."
Qin Suisui understood that human hearing has its limits. Beyond a certain distance, Parman might not be able to hear anymore. However, animals' five senses are much stronger than humans'. Within the range where Parman cannot hear, the ancestral spirits can also hear and transmit the information to him.
However, she still found it quite amusing to hear Parman awkwardly yet earnestly utter the words "Big Flower."
She smiled and nodded: "I understand, thank you, Paman. I'll blow the bone whistle before I go back to the tribe next time, and ask you to come and pick me up."
Calling him "senior brother" feels a bit awkward; I'm more used to calling him by his name.
Moreover, she hadn't really remembered the route she'd taken. It was winding and circuitous, perhaps designed to avoid the world. The location of the Snake Witch Tribe wasn't so easy for people to remember.
So she simply stopped struggling. The forest was fraught with danger, but with Paman, Zuling, and Dahua leading the way, it would be much safer.
Having just said goodbye to Paman, Qin Suisui pulled Jia Zhenzhen, who was still excitedly shooting birds, to head back. In order not to arouse Jia Zhenzhen's suspicion, she lied and said that she had encountered the same giant gibbon in the miasma forest and asked it to help her return the basket to the place where they had parted last time and hide it there.
The basket contained the items they had intercepted from those two "smugglers".
The two planned to go out of the woods first, then circle around to the place where they had entered to "get their baskets." Their bicycles were parked there anyway, as they were going to go there anyway.
But after taking only a couple of steps, a sharp, sarcastic voice rang out behind him: "Qin Suisui? It really is you!"
Qin Suisui frowned and turned around, only to see an old woman with dry, yellow hair and skin as thin as a rake, whose eyes gleamed with a sharp light that did not match her appearance.
Seeing Qin Suisui turn around, the woman rushed forward: "Suisui! It's me! Don't you recognize me? I'm your Aunt Lan!"
"Sui Sui, Sui Sui, could you please ask your officer husband for help to get Aunt Lan out of here, even if it's just to another farm? It's too hard here!"
"Sui Sui, all those things in your family were done by your Uncle Yang and the others. It has nothing to do with Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan is just a housewife who has to be subservient to everyone; she can't do anything about it..."
Upon seeing Qin Suisui, Sun Lan acted as if she had seen a savior and immediately begged for help.
Qin Suisui pulled her hand back. Actually, she had already recognized Sun Lan's voice when she first spoke. She knew that Sun Lan had been sent down to the wilderness forest, but she didn't expect that she would be sent down to this farm.
She wasn't a magnanimous person. She had a grudge against Yang Jiankang's family. Although the plot in the original book didn't happen and she wasn't "sold" to that bald leader by Yang Jiankang, she still hated the family immensely when she thought of the disgusting descriptions in the original book.
Moreover, after their family's misfortune, the Yang family, who had always been taken care of by their family, not only did not help, but also kicked them while they were down. These are all true stories.
Furthermore, during the Japanese encephalitis outbreak, it was Sun Lan who revealed her identity to Xue Jiao and even embellished her story, leading to that huge scandal. If it weren't for the law, she would have poisoned Sun Lan to death. Help her? Dream on!
She felt disgusted if she said even one more word to her. Qin Suisui wiped her arms and hands that Sun Lan had touched with a handkerchief and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Sun Lan became furious when she saw that Qin Suisui was ignoring her: "Qin Suisui, why did you stand by and watch me die? Why won't you help me? You are just as heartless as Sun Ruwen!"
"Oh! I see! You can't help me, can you?"
She looked Qin Suisui up and down, her faded old clothes on her body, and then burst into laughter: "Because of your status as a capitalist's daughter, your military officer husband disliked you and dumped you, right?"
"Hahahaha, what a piece of trash! The once high and mighty, arrogant eldest daughter of the Qin family has become someone else's discarded trash! I wonder what that vixen Hua Qing thinks when she finds out her daughter was used and then thrown away! Hahahaha!"
"I just saw it. You were chatting and laughing with a man. Tsk tsk tsk, just like your slutty mother, flirting with everyone you go!"
Qin Suisui gritted her teeth, turned around, and slapped her. At the same time, she had a bottle of medicine in her hand and was about to pry open her mouth and pour it in when suddenly two strong gusts of wind came. Sun Lan, who was baring her teeth and glaring fiercely at Qin Suisui, lost all her teeth in the blink of an eye.
Sun Lan's eyes widened in disbelief as she spat out a piece of dead wood. Looking at the bloody tooth that had fallen into her hand along with the wood, she was about to scream when a gust of wind flew over, stepping on the grass and trees. Instantly, a series of slaps landed on Sun Lan's face.
Sun Lan's originally thin face quickly swelled up, and even the original lines were stretched out.
Qin Suisui also looked at Paman, who had teleported over, in surprise: "Didn't you leave?"
Parman's face was ashen. He flicked something into Sun Lan's mouth, and the next second, Sun Lan vomited and stuck out half of her tongue!
Even Qin Suisui was shocked by the bloody scene.
But then he heard Parman speak in broken Chinese, his voice cold: "I have a habit of hitting women. You insulted my junior sister, so you will pay the price!"
