Chapter 139 Luo Da Regrets
Xu Hexiao was unable to refuse the suggestion of Lao Yi and the other two to practice boxing together, so the next day, in addition to practicing boxing, he was also forced to "attend a class". Lao Yi and the other two were not very good at boxing, but they took the class very seriously. The first class was about current affairs, which happened to be what Xu Hexiao was most concerned about.
Xu Hexiao, who originally only practiced boxing for an hour a day, was so absorbed in listening to the class that he practiced for two hours without realizing it. In the end, Lao Yi and the other two were so tired that they sat down, and Xu Hexiao didn't notice anything was wrong.
They taught for about an hour, and the latter part was more about discussion of current affairs. Xu Hexiao listened with great interest. Seeing Xu Hexiao so immersed in it that he forgot everything else, Lao Yi and the other two smiled with triumph.
When Lin Qi got up, she didn't see Xu Hexiao. When she finished breakfast, she still didn't see Xu Hexiao. After waiting for a long time, Lin Qi could only go out and walk towards Xu Hexiao's house.
Before she got close, she saw four people outside Xu Hexiao's house.
What is going on?
Lin Qi did not move forward. She stood there and listened for a while, then she turned around and went back to her own yard.
After Lin Qi finished her breakfast, Xu Hexiao hurried in.
"The food is still warm, go and eat it yourself." Lin Qi lay in the rocking chair, feeling lazy and comfortable.
Xu Hexiao washed his hands with water, feeling a little disappointed. "You don't want to ask me why I'm late?"
"I saw it." Lin Qi said, "I'm happy for you."
As for why she was happy, she didn't elaborate, but Xu Hexiao knew it.
Xu Hexiao paused while washing his hands, and his eyes became as gentle as water.
"You are free to use anything in the warehouse. You have to pay tuition to go to school, so you should pay more tuition and take out all the stuff they have in their stomachs." Lin Qi said.
Xu Hexiao smiled, "Okay."
Xu Hexiao was not yet 20 years old, not old enough to sign up for the autumn hunt. On the day of the autumn hunt, everyone thought Lin Qi would take Xu Hexiao with her for personal reasons. However, when they set out, Xu Hexiao was still nowhere to be seen.
But everyone thought it through. If Xu Hexiao wanted to go hunting, Lin Qi could take him there at any time. This opportunity, which was very important to them, was nothing to Xu Hexiao.
Thinking of this, everyone's jealousy towards Xu Hexiao increased a little more.
Lin Qi knew nothing about this. She led the way in front, choosing the shortest and relatively flat road.
They had to make the round trip within a day, so they couldn't waste too much time on the road.
The team set out at six in the morning and did not rest along the way. They entered the mountains at ten in the morning and walked for another hour, and they went deeper into the abdomen.
In early November, the weather was not very cold yet, and Xu Hexiao led Lao Yi and the other two to dig a canal. Three years ago, in response to the commune's request to expand the area of rice cultivation, Anliang Brigade gradually turned some low-lying land into paddy fields.
As the number of paddy fields increased, the number of canals also increased accordingly. However, due to the lack of rain this year, the canals seemed insufficient.
Other people in the team also participated in digging the canal, but Lao Yi and the other two were old and weak, and could not do the work well. No one was willing to team up with them, so they could only work with Xu Hexiao.
"Are there many ferocious beasts in the mountains?" Lao Bi asked.
"A lot." Xu Hexiao said concisely.
"With so many ferocious beasts around, aren't you worried about Lin Qi?" Lao Bi looked at Xu Hexiao, but nothing could be seen on his expressionless handsome face.
Despite his young age, he is quite good at hiding his emotions.
Xu Hexiao didn't answer. Lin Qi was very powerful and the beasts in the forest were no match for her, but he still couldn't help but worry.
"Will they bring back a lot of prey tonight?" Old Fu changed the subject.
Xu Hexiao nodded, "Yes."
He always trusted her inexplicably.
Lao Bi licked his lips and asked, "Can we get some too?"
Xu Hexiao hesitated for two seconds and said, "I think so."
"Even if we can't get any, you can get some from Lin Qi for us, right?" Lao Bi looked at Xu Hexiao with anticipation.
Xu Hexiao: “….”
The more familiar you are with them, the more you can see their shamelessness and thick-skinnedness.
The members of the Anliang Brigade also had full confidence in Lin Qi. When they arrived in the mountains, Lin Qi discovered that each of the members carried two or three large sacks.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said speechlessly, "You are very well prepared."
"It's better to be prepared." The team members said with a smile.
As it turned out, Lin Qi did not disappoint everyone. She filled more than a dozen sacks with pheasants, hares and other animals. In addition, they were lucky enough to encounter a group of wild boars, which they killed in one fell swoop, yielding a total of 26 wild boars of all sizes.
The team members returned with a full load and were so happy that their mouths were grinning from ear to ear.
There was so much meat, not to mention they had never seen it, they had never even heard of it!
That night, after having dinner, the members of the Anliang Brigade spontaneously gathered at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the hunters to return.
After a day of digging canals, everyone was very tired, but no one was sleeping at home. They were waiting for prey and relatives to go into the mountains.
Although they knew that Lin Qi was powerful, there was only one Lin Qi and there were so many ferocious beasts in the mountains. What if they were unlucky enough to encounter them?
They were full of expectations, but at the same time they couldn't help but worry. From eight o'clock in the evening, they waited until eleven o'clock, and when there was still no movement from the mountain, everyone's worries became more and more serious, and they became anxious.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Shall we go in and look for them?"
Others were also interested, "I brought a flashlight."
"I didn't bring a flashlight, but I did bring a torch and matches."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go into the mountains."
Everyone stood up.
"Are you going into the mountains?" A familiar voice came from the darkness.
The next second, someone exclaimed, "It's Lin Qi, she's out!"
Lin Qi nodded, and in the blink of an eye she appeared in front of everyone, and then with a bang, two wild boars appeared at everyone's feet.
Wow——
It turned out to be a wild boar!
What a big guy!
"There are a lot of prey. Leave two people here to guard them, and the others will come with me to meet them." Lin Qi said.
A bit too much prey?
How much is a point?
Everyone had a look of ecstasy on their faces, and were eager to go into the mountains. The only ones left behind were the captain who had injured his foot and the elderly deputy captain.
On the way to meet them, everyone kept guessing how many prey Lin Qi and his team had hunted today. They talked loudly, as if they were deliberately talking to Lin Qi, who was walking at the front of the team. Lin Qi heard it, but she didn't respond.
Why are you in such a hurry? You will see it soon.
Lin Qi led everyone walking for half an hour before finally discovering the fire in the mountains.
"In front, let's speed up!" Luo Da shouted and rushed forward first.
Luo Da had been trapped in the mountains before, and he didn't get along with Xu Hexiao. He was also afraid that Lin Qi would target him because of her usual protection of Xu Hexiao, so he didn't sign up this time. But he was really curious about hunting, so when everyone came to the foot of the mountain tonight to wait for someone, he also came.
Luo Da was the first to rush to the hunting team. Seeing the spectacular scene of everyone carrying prey on their shoulders and backs, he was stunned and couldn't help but swear, "Fuck, such prey!"
At this moment, Luo Da regretted it very much. If he had not made things difficult for Xu Hexiao, would he be a member of the hunting team now?
Today’s hunting will surely be exciting!
Rhoda could already imagine how those who took part in the hunt today would brag about it in the days to come, but he could only be a listener.
That night, the Anliang Brigade was brightly lit, and the laughter and joy continued until the second half of the night before gradually dying down.
When Lin Qi returned home, Xu Hexiao was sewing insoles by the fire. As soon as Lin Qi entered the door, he brought her hot water and said, "Wash your hands first and eat something. I'll get you some hot water. After you finish eating, take a bath and go to bed."
Xu Hexiao prepared steamed rice cakes for Lin Qi. There were not many, only six pieces, each half the size of a palm. The steamed rice cakes were soft, sticky and sweet. After eating all six pieces, Lin Qi was only six-tenths full.
Xu Hexiao looked at Lin Qi's unsatisfied look and said with a smile, "It's not suitable to eat too much at night. Tomorrow morning I will steam meat buns, fry dough sticks, and grind soy milk for you."
Lin Qi nodded, "Okay. I'm going to sleep until noon, so don't get ready too early."
The next morning, the two captains and the accountant discussed sending a few wild boars to the commune.
"Two ends are enough." Captain Luo Feng said unhappily.
"Two is too few, let's say four," said the deputy captain. "I'll tell the team members not to tell anyone about our autumn hunt. If anyone asks, we can all say we hunted four wild boars, as well as a few pheasants and rabbits."
"Okay, I'll go with you to inform everyone." said the accountant.
"Four wild boars is not a small number." The team leader muttered. He was reluctant to give up so much meat. He could give them meat, but they should also be given some benefits. He thought for a while and said, "This time we don't want money or tickets. We can ask the commune for some farm tools."
The deputy captain and the accountant's eyes lit up. "Okay, let's do it."
Every year, the brigade would damage some farm tools and apply to the commune for the tools, but the tools would be delayed again and again. This time, the wild boar meat was an opportunity.
"I heard that other communes have started to introduce tractors. I don't know when our commune will have them, and if it will be our turn," said the deputy captain.
The team leader sneered, "If they don't give me, I won't grow rice. Of course, the prerequisite is that the commune has a tractor."
It's just a threat, who wouldn't do that?
