Chapter 125 It turns out it was an acquaintance in distress; an extremely strong will to survive.
The air was thick with the stench of blood. If we didn't hurry over to see what was going on, the wolves in the mountains would probably come running, drawn by the smell of blood.
"Then, then, the three of us will go together." The dark forest held all sorts of dangers, and Lin Dayou was reluctant to let Lin Luoxi go alone.
"Okay!" That's good too. It'll prevent any unexpected emergencies from happening and leaving her unable to take care of the two of them.
After reaching an agreement, the three cautiously approached the motionless figure lying on the ground.
The closer she got to the smell of blood, the stronger it became, and Lin Luoxi's expression became tense and wary again.
The smell of blood is so strong, we need to deal with it quickly, otherwise they won't be able to escape when the wild beasts in the mountains attack.
Thinking of this, Lin Luoxi quickly took out a green plant from her purse, or rather, from her spatial storage, and squeezed it to extract juice.
"Ugh, it smells awful..." Lin Dayou, who was close to Lin Luoxi, smelled the odor immediately. He almost vomited from the smell and quickly pinched his nose to prevent the smell from getting into his nostrils again.
"Luo Xi, what did you do?" Lin Zhousheng, who was standing next to Lin Dayou, was more thoughtful. He looked around and noticed what Lin Nuoxi was holding in the moonlight. He asked curiously.
"This is a stinky plant, used to mask the smell of blood."
"The smell of blood here is so strong that I was afraid it would attract the wild beasts in the mountains. That's why I crushed this herb to make it smell bad and hide the smell of blood here."
It wasn't some shameful secret, Lin Luoxi explained frankly.
Taking advantage of the lull, Lin Luoxi also squatted down and, under the dim moonlight, examined the figure lying on the ground.
Upon seeing the familiar fabric, Lin Luoxi's pupils narrowed slightly, her mind racing.
She felt like she had seen this understated yet luxurious fabric somewhere before, but the memory wasn't very clear.
The situation was urgent and Lin Ruoxi didn't have time to think. Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she reached out and turned the person lying on the ground over.
She brushed the hair away from her face, revealing a face as handsome as jade and as elegant as a dragon and as graceful as a phoenix. Lin Luoxi exclaimed in surprise.
"It's him!" Lin Luoxi exclaimed in surprise as she withdrew her hand.
"Daughter, do you know this person?" The surroundings were too quiet, so Lin Lusheng only managed to utter those two words in a low voice. Lin Dayou, who was standing next to him, heard him and asked with concern.
"Well, I guess so!" Lin Luoxi nodded, her tone indescribable.
Upon learning that the person lying on the ground was someone Lin Luoxi knew, Lin Dayou was less afraid and squatted down as well, beginning to examine the person on the ground.
“This person is dressed in clothes that suggest he is either rich or noble. The fact that he has been injured like this means that he is very dangerous. Girl, we should not meddle in his affairs.”
Lin Dayou glanced at the person lying on the ground and knew that he was no ordinary person, so he didn't want Lin Luoxi to get involved.
Hearing Lin Dayou's words, Lin Zhousheng also squatted down, looked at the man's clothes on the ground, and couldn't figure out anything about them.
But seeing Lin Dayou's solemn expression, he didn't dare to be careless and turned his gaze to Lin Luoxi.
He couldn't bring himself to say he didn't care whether the person lying on the ground lived or died, but he was also afraid that the man on the ground would bring danger to their Wutong Village, so he naturally hoped that Lin Luoxi wouldn't interfere.
"Yes, I know that." Lin Luoxi nodded calmly.
Apart from the Lin family, an extremely awful relative, who occasionally pops up to annoy people, everything else in Wutong Village met Lin Luoxi's criteria for choosing a place to live.
If they were to rescue this man, they would also bring the danger back with them, which would affect not only their family but the safety of the entire village.
Thinking of this, she stood up, lifted her foot, and stepped over the man's body on the ground.
Lin Dayou secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Luoxi really didn't intend to care about the man lying on the ground. Fortunately, his daughter was still quite sensible at this crucial moment.
First, she silently prayed for the man lying on the ground, hoping he would live, before standing up and intending to walk home with Lin Ruoxi.
It was pitch black all around. When Lin Zhousheng saw that Lin Dayou and Lin Luoxi were about to leave, he quickly lifted his foot and followed.
"Ah~" In the forest, shadowy figures were all around, and the sudden scream startled Lin Luoxi and Lin Dayou who were walking ahead.
"Uncle Zhou Sheng, keep your voice down." Lin Luoxi thought Lin Zhou Sheng had been kidnapped by someone, so she returned as quickly as possible.
"He, he, he..." When Lin Zhousheng saw Lin Luoxi return, he looked at her as if she were his savior. He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed to his small feet, where a hand tightly grasped his foot.
Lin Luoxi couldn't help but find it amusing when she looked at the hand on Lin Zhousheng's small foot.
Even when a person is unconscious, they know to ask the village chief for help.
“Uncle Zhou, look, he has personally begged you for help. What do you think, should we help him or not?” Out of consideration for their past acquaintance, Lin Luoxi decided to plead for him this once.
"This, this..." This kind of difficult problem was really hard for him to choose.
If he agrees, what will become of the safety of hundreds of households in Wutong Village?
If he disagrees, the person in front of him is also a living being. Buddhism says that saving a life is equivalent to building a seven-story pagoda. What should he choose?
"Brother Zhou, why don't we save him?" Lin Dayou walked over and saw that the unconscious man on the ground had such a strong will to live. Perhaps it was not his time to die, so he also spoke up and pleaded for him.
“It’s not that I don’t want to save him. You’ve all said that this person is dangerous. If we really take him back, what will happen to all the lives in our village?” As the village chief, he couldn’t put the villagers in danger.
“Then we can’t just take him back to the village and bring him somewhere else. We can let him leave once he wakes up.” As Lin Dayou spoke, he already had a perfect place in his mind for the unconscious man to stay.
"Really?" Lin Luoxi looked at Lin Dayou in surprise, not expecting that Lin Dayou had such a powerful side.
"Hmm, I remember there's a fairly large cave on the back side of the hill behind our house..." Lin Dayou tried hard to recall the location of the cave.
"Then hurry up and carry him on your back." Lin Zhousheng felt like his calf was about to be broken by that hand, which showed that the person was still so vigilant even when he was unconscious.
"Okay, I'll carry him!" Lin Dayou, with great insight, bent down, roughly tossed the unconscious man on the ground onto his back, and easily carried the man on his back.
"Father, Uncle Zhou Sheng, you go first, I'll bring up the rear."
