Shi Lingheng's condition seems to be improving.
During this time, they seemed to get along very well with Village Chief Fang and others. Village Chief Fang was very proud, and his prey thanked him as if he were a benefactor.
On this day, Shi Lingheng and his group were finally about to leave.
Suppressing his excitement, Village Chief Fang glanced at the others and, after confirming with them that everything was ready, assigned someone ostensibly to escort Shi Lingheng and the others out of this easily lost place, but his true intentions were...
Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know.
After Shi Lingheng and the others left, Village Chief Fang and the others also returned to the village at a leisurely pace, as if they had just seen them off.
In reality, they would wait until it was almost dark before taking a detour via another side path to make their move. In short, they would not allow Shi Lingheng and his group to leave smoothly.
The person leading the way for Shi Lingheng and the others was called A Tie. He was also a strong young man of the same age as Shi Lingheng and the others. He walked forward with his head down and did not say a word.
Shi Lingheng and the others, however, walked at a leisurely pace. After a while, they exclaimed, "Oh dear, I can't walk anymore!"
Ah Tie inevitably became impatient. If he didn't bring these people into their ambush at the designated time, how could the village chief and others make their move?
Unable to contain his temper, he snapped, "You've traveled all over the country, can't you even handle this little bit of hardship?"
Shi Lingheng and the others looked at A Tie with disbelief and said, "What, you can't? We only came out to earn this money because we can't endure hardship and don't want to do hard work. Oh, my feet are all blistered, I can't walk anymore."
"That's right. If we could endure hardship, would those things still be stuck in our hands?"
This person was talking about the wild ginseng that was forcibly taken away by the village chief, and he did so with complete righteous indignation.
Ah Tie's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Why can't these people endure any hardship?
As they continued their journey, stopping and starting, Atie grew increasingly impatient. However, when he finally arrived at his destination that evening, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had originally planned to use the excuse of needing to urinate to leave, but as soon as he started to say something, people around him immediately offered to go with him. They were all grown men, so there was nothing inconvenient about it...
Ah Tie: "..."
You guys are so difficult to deal with...
If he stayed here, it would be inconvenient when the village chief and the others made their move. A-Tie frowned and could only think of another way. He originally wanted to sneak away when Shi Lingheng and the others weren't paying attention, but it seemed like these people had eyes in the back of their heads...
Ah Tie: "This is so hard for me..."
Night always seems to fall extra quickly in the mountains and forests. As darkness gradually enveloped the entire forest, A-Tie finally found an opportunity to send a signal and was about to sneak away when he saw Shi Lingheng meet his gaze with a half-smile.
"Ah Tie, we haven't even left the forest yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
A-Tie touched his nose somewhat guiltily: "It's nothing, I was just wandering around looking for some firewood, it gets very cold at night..."
Shi Lingheng said "Oh," nodded, and then looked him in the eye: "Oh, I think I heard a cuckoo calling just now. There shouldn't be any at this time..."
Ah Tie tried desperately to find excuses for himself...
Shi Lingheng yawned, too lazy to argue with him anymore. A Tie had already given the signal, and those people would naturally make their move, so he waved his hand, and immediately someone grabbed A Tie's arm and restrained him...
Ah Tie wanted to shout...
