Chapter 28 The Hunting Moment, A Lifesaver Appears
"Big brother, you carry these medicinal herbs down the mountain first, I'll be back soon." Lin Luoxi was also surprised; when did she become so strong?
She only meant to scare her older brother, but it turned out to be far too powerful.
"Oh, oh, I'll go down the mountain right now." Lin Wenqian readily agreed, looking at the tree that had been broken in half. He quickly slung the basket containing the medicinal herbs over his shoulder, told Lin Luoxi to be careful, and hurried down the mountain.
He looked as if if he said another word, that fist would smash into him.
He asked himself honestly, and realized that his back wasn't as strong as that big tree.
"Hehe..." Lin Luoxi couldn't help but laugh as she watched Lin Wenqian flee in disarray.
If she had known this trick was so effective, she would have used it sooner, instead of wasting so much breath trying to persuade him.
After seeing Lin Wenqian safely descend the mountain, Lin Luoxi turned around and walked into the mountains.
Having just crossed a hill, Lin Luoxi found a medicinal herb she was in need and began digging for it as quickly as possible.
Perhaps it was fate that wanted Lin Luoxi to go back sooner, because she hadn't walked more than a few steps when she encountered another medicinal herb.
"I'm so lucky today," Lin Luoxi exclaimed happily as she dug for medicinal herbs.
Something came to mind. Looking at the dozens of medicinal herbs growing crowded together in front of her, she had an idea.
First, dig up the herbs that are old enough and put them in the basket. Then, dig up the remaining herbs that are still seedlings and put them in the open space near the jade pendant. We'll try planting them when we have time.
There are many more medicinal herbs in the deep mountains than outside, and they are of much better quality.
Lin Luoxi quickly found all the medicinal herbs she needed, put away her tools, and was about to carry the basket full of herbs on her back when she heard a noise.
Lin Luoxi instantly went on high alert, glancing around before fixing her gaze on a nearby tree.
He tossed the basket into the space, grabbed the machete, and with a few quick scrambles, climbed up a large tree nearby.
I had just settled on the first tree branch when the commotion from the pine bushes grew louder and louder.
Standing on the tree, Lin Luoxi noticed something pressing down on the bushes, and a wild boar, larger than an adult, rushed out towards her.
When Lin Luoxi saw the wild boar, her eyes were not filled with fear, but with excitement and exhilaration, as if she could see plates of delicious pork flashing before her eyes.
He gripped the machete tightly in his hand, as if waiting for something.
When the wild boar was five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters away from the tree she was standing on…
Having calculated the distance perfectly, just as the wild boar reached the base of the tree, Lin Luoxi seized the opportunity and jumped onto its back at top speed.
Quickly squeeze your legs tightly around the wild boar's back to prevent it from falling off while running.
He raised the machete in his hand and slashed at the wild boar's neck as fast as he could.
The first cut only made a small incision; the wild boar's hide was even tougher and harder than she had imagined.
Seeing that the wild boar had gone berserk after being slashed by her, Lin Luoxi no longer hesitated. Since one slash wouldn't kill it, she would slash it a few more times.
While finishing off the wild boar, you also need to keep a close eye on the direction the wild boar is running away.
Just as the wild boar was about to crash into a towering tree in an attempt to take Lin Luoxi down with it, it suddenly fell to the ground.
Lin Luoxi finally finished off the wild boar's neck, and then used a machete to cut the boar's head down to just the skin.
Because she suddenly fell forward, Lin Luoxi rolled three times on the ground, mixed with pig's blood and that pitch-black pig's head, before coming to a stop.
"Are you alright?!" Lin Luoxi, who had single-handedly dealt with the frenzied behavior of a wild boar the size of an adult, rolled around on the ground several times and was covered in pig's blood, was still in shock for a long time.
It wasn't until a boy's face suddenly appeared in front of her that Lin Luoxi was so startled that she jumped up like a carp leaping out of the water.
"Who are you?" Lin Luoxi thought for a long time, but couldn't recall who the boy in front of her was.
Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, the light in the boy's eyes dimmed slightly.
Looking up again, he introduced himself to Lin Luoxi very seriously, "My surname is Xie, my given name is Hanchuan, and I also live in Wutong Village..."
"And then!" Lin Luoxi looked at the suddenly appearing boy, her eyes becoming wary. Could it be that the boy in front of her wanted to steal the wild boar she had worked so hard to kill?
"I meant no harm. I was just chasing this wild boar, but..." Xie Hanchuan hurriedly explained when he saw the wariness in Lin Luoxi's eyes.
"You mean you hunted that boar?" She really wanted to steal the wild boar that she had worked so hard to kill. Thinking of this, Lin Luoxi gripped the machete in her hand tightly again.
Lin Luoxi eats everything, she just doesn't want to be taken advantage of. If the young man in front of her dares to make a move on her wild boar, she wouldn't mind dealing with him in this desolate place.
"What I mean is, I can help you sell this wild boar." Xie Hanchuan was taken aback when he said this.
He originally meant to say that he hadn't intended to share the spoils with her, but when he saw Lin Luoxi, he thought of her family situation and blurted out those words without thinking.
"Why should I believe you?" Lin Luoxi had no recollection of Xie Hanchuan at all, so how could she possibly trust a stranger she had just met?
"Because I was the one who saved you when you were pushed into the river. If I really wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't have saved you that time."
Xie Hanchuan felt a pang of sadness when he saw Lin Luoxi looking at him like a stranger. He didn't know why, but he felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"You're threatening me, wanting me to repay your life-saving grace with a wild boar." Lin Luoxi's thought process sometimes differs from that of normal people.
"No, I didn't expect you to repay me when I saved you. I was thinking that if you really carried this wild boar down the mountain, it would be a problem whether you could even eat it, let alone sell it."
"If you trust me, I'll help you get rid of this pig. I'll personally deliver the money to you tomorrow morning..." Xie Hanchuan looked at the smug girl in front of him and patiently explained.
"Why are you helping me?" Lin Luoxi couldn't help but ask suspiciously, seeing that the other person seemed to know a lot about her family's situation.
"It's nothing. I've been caught in the rain before, and now when I see others in the same boat, I can't help but want to hold an umbrella for them."
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but ever since he rescued Lin Luoxi, he couldn't help but start paying attention to her.
Today's encounter was unexpected, but he genuinely wanted to help the girl in front of him, even if his sincerity was doubted.
"Alright then! How about we split it 90/10, I'll take 90% and you take 10%?" Lin Luoxi saw the sincerity in the boy's eyes and subconsciously chose to believe him.
"No, no..."
