Chapter 103 Escaping from the Tiger's Mouth



Li Dafu spotted the figure from afar.

He rushed over and saw Yu Qing covered in blood. He exclaimed, "Why is there so much blood? Where are you injured?"

Yu Qing twitched his lips. Could he say that he only had a few red marks on his calf from being rubbed by grass?

Shi Lingheng had already checked him and said, "He shouldn't be injured. It's Big Cat's blood, but the smell of blood on him is too strong. It's a bit troublesome for me to carry him around. I'll trouble you to take care of him, Village Chief."

Li Dafu exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly agreed, "It's good that you're not injured."

When Shi Lingheng brought the Type 55 rifle up the mountain again, Li Dafu couldn't help but say, "What are you trying to prove, kid? Are your legs trembling with fear? You're just causing trouble for Shi Zhiqing."

Yu Qing's face was not good, and the smell of blood on his body was awful. He still remembered the big cat's bloody mouth opening and about to swallow him whole, and the foul, fishy smell from its mouth.

Escaping from the jaws of death inevitably leaves one with lingering fear.

Then she thought of Shi Lingheng, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. If it weren't for him, she would have died.

Down the mountain, Li Dafu only heard a few sounds, wondering what was going on, while Shi Lingheng had already come down the mountain...

This day was even more lively than the Spring Festival in Xiangyang Brigade.

Look, a big cat and two wild boars, these are all good catches. It's been so long since we've had any meat. According to the rules, but also considering human feelings, Shi Lingheng got about twenty catties, and the rest went to the public. The villagers can exchange it for work points.

And Yuqing...

For some reason, he developed a fever that night and a terrible red rash appeared on his body. After being taken to the county hospital, he was diagnosed with a contagious disease.

Therefore, isolation is necessary.

While Yu Qing was still in bed, dazed and confused, unaware of what was happening outside, he had already been tricked and isolated by Shi Lingheng.

Because of this hunting trip, the villagers who used to dislike educated youth actually smiled when they saw Shi Lingheng.

"I think Shi Zhiqing is different from other educated youth... He's hardworking and a good person..."

"Exactly, who isn't afraid of the wild animals on those mountains..."

"Shi Zhiqing was just an educated youth; if he hadn't taken care of things, everyone in our village would have said something. But not only did he solve the problem, he even got us meat..."

"What a good child..."

For a time, Shi Lingheng became the most popular educated youth in Xiangyang Brigade.

Well, as for the other educated youth, in the eyes of the villagers, they were still city people who came to compete with them for food and were to be looked down upon.

It's really no wonder the villagers were flustered. Apart from Shi Lingheng, who adapted well to the labor work, the other educated youth were all overwhelmed. Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi were the most typical examples.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi were already making Li Dafu unhappy because of the matter of picking up people. You told me that I arranged for you to weed, but you pulled up the rice seedlings instead... What's going on?

This is a sign of dissatisfaction with me...

If you're unhappy with me, you can't take it out on the food.

This act was especially heinous in the eyes of the villagers who cherished their food.

Today, Shi Lingheng helped an elderly widow in the village repair her thatched roof. Her clothes were itchy from the thatch, so she was about to go back to the educated youth settlement to take a shower when she heard someone's indignant voice as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Brother, look at my hands, they're all bloody from being worn out. It hasn't been long, and my hands are already so rough I can't believe it. I don't want to stay here, I want to go back..."

She was speaking with a sob in her voice.

The man offered a few weak words of comfort: "Sister, there's no way we can go back. You, you, you know..."
