Chapter 147 Students Enter the Mountain
Jiang Wanwan, who thought she had won, smiled. But she heard Xu Hexiao coldly reject her, "Except Lin Qi, I don't need anyone to give birth to a child for me."
Jiang Wanwan's smile froze on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Qi won't give birth to a child for you. She doesn't dare to marry a member of the five black categories. You and I are bad elements. Everyone avoids us and treats us as viruses. Xu Hexiao, only I can understand your feelings. It is wisest for us to hug each other for warmth."
"No need. Having Lin Qi is enough for me. Even if we don't have a child, I won't betray her." Xu Hexiao's tone was firm.
Jiang Wanwan heard the seriousness in his tone. If she had planned on Xu Hexiao the last time, her purpose was not Xu Hexiao, so she didn't feel bad when Xu Hexiao cut off his relationship with her. But this time was different. She was full of confidence, but she was still rejected by Xu Hexiao.
Even though she offered to marry him and give birth to his child, he still refused. Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but doubt herself. Is she really that bad?
Even a member of the five black categories would despise her.
Jiang Wanwan left in a daze. Xu Hexiao closed the gate of the fence and went to look for Lin Qi as planned. Just after taking two steps, he saw Lin Qi standing in the dark.
"How long have you been here?" Xu Hexiao walked forward and reached out to grab Lin Qi's hands. "It's cold at night, don't expose your hands outside."
Lin Qi hummed and said nothing.
"Did you hear that?" Xu Hexiao asked.
"I heard it." Lin Qi admitted that she did not doubt Xu Hexiao's sincerity, but she was still upset. Jiang Wanwan had hit her sore spot - she didn't dare to marry Xu Hexiao.
No matter what the reason was, she didn't dare.
Xu Hexiao held Lin Qi in his arms, "Don't think too much. I'm only 20 years old. In another 10 years, I'll be 30, and even in another 20 years, I'll be 40. Twenty years later, society will definitely be different from now. Now I exercise every day, and you input energy for me every day. Even at the age of 40, I'm still young and strong. There will be no problem for you to get pregnant with my child. Of course, the premise is that you are willing. If you don't want to, we will live together for the rest of our lives. Only you are the most important."
ten years?
Twenty years?
Can Xu Hexiao wait that long?
Even if he could wait, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Many times they accidentally fired their guns, and she couldn't help but waver when she saw his veins popping out and his whole body burning like fire.
And Xu Hexiao could endure it for that long, but she might not be able to.
The work of digging the canal soon came to an end.
On this day, more people came to the team. They were none other than a group of junior high school and high school students who called themselves Red Guards.
The purpose of their visit was very direct. They wanted to go into the mountains to hunt and asked the team to find a few people to lead the way for them.
The captain refused. "After the autumn harvest, our team organized several hunting trips. There are no prey in our mountains now."
The students did not believe it. “Didn’t you just deliver four wild boars to the commune some time ago? How can you say there are none? We only need two people to lead the team. We will check for ourselves whether there are any prey or not.”
Seeing the students' tough attitude and hearing from the people in the town that the students had smashed many wealthy households in the town, the captain did not dare to look down on the students and agreed, "Okay, I'll find two guides for you."
The team leader asked the team members about their wishes, and the task of leading the way fell on Xiaoba's father and Aliang's father.
"Captain, why don't you let me go? I'm very familiar with the mountains." Luo Laizi volunteered.
The captain glanced at Luo Laizi and hesitated for two seconds. "Okay, then you switch with one of them."
Finally, the people who led the students were Luo Laizi and Xiao Ba's father.
Lin Qi didn't care about someone going into the mountains. The thorns and bushes near her planting area had grown from the previous five-meter-wide thorn belt to twenty or thirty meters. Now, not only the flat land, but also the mountains were covered with various thorns and vines. Although the people of Anliang Brigade were curious about why there were so many thorns with long thorns here, no one had the leisure to study it. Anyway, there were so many mountains, and they couldn't come here, so they went to other places.
As for the group of students saying they wanted to go hunting, Lin Qi thought it was a good idea.
It would be good for a group of idle, trouble-making, and violent teenagers to go into the mountains to use up their energy and avoid harming others.
The members of the Anliang Brigade were not so optimistic. They were worried that these people would hunt all the animals in the mountains. If they hunted all the animals, there would be no animals in the mountains next year, and they would not be able to eat prey.
The senior team member sneered after hearing what the team members said, "You guys who go to the mountains every year can't even hunt a few pheasants or rabbits, but you think a group of half-grown children can hunt all the animals in the mountains?"
After the team members asked this question, they immediately regained their senses.
"Yes, he is just a half-grown child, similar to our brat. He is also a hunter. It's good that he didn't lose himself in the mountains."
"Ever since Luo Da and the others had an accident that year, I dare not let the children go into the mountains. Even if I want to go, they must be with adults."
"It all started when Lin Qi led us to hunt a lot of prey last time, which made us mistakenly think that hunting had become easier. I'm worried that those students won't give up after not hunting anything, and I'm worried that Luo Laizi might let slip Lin Qi's name."
The people who led the way were Xiaoba's father and Luo Laizi. Xiaoba's father was tight-lipped, but Luo Laizi might not be.
"That can't be possible. Luo Laizi let the cat out of the bag. It's damaging the interests of the brigade as well as his own interests. There are only a few animals in the mountains. If those students take them away, we will have none left. And once this precedent is set, I'm afraid such things will continue to happen in the future. We can forget about eating the prey in the mountains."
“........”
On the one hand, everyone felt that Luo Laizi would not kill so badly, but on the other hand, they also felt that although Luo Laizi looked smart, he could also make mistakes. What if he let something slip?
On the day when the students entered the mountain, the members of the Anliang Brigade were distracted and worried, and they kept looking towards the foot of the mountain.
It was not until it was almost dark that the students came out of the mountain. They were all in a dishevelled state, looking haggard, with anger and depression between their brows.
The captain looked at their hands and saw that more than fifty people had only hunted two pheasants.
The captain seemed surprised, but not too surprised.
"There is no prey in the mountains here. Let's go to other mountains tomorrow." said a leading student, blaming the mountains for their failure to hunt prey.
The team leader nodded in agreement, with a sincere look on his face, "There really aren't many animals here. Our team members often return empty-handed after a day in the mountains.
After hearing what the captain said, the students felt better and shamelessly asked him to prepare dinner for them.
"We have no obligation to prepare dinner for you." The captain refused.
Being rejected, the students looked unhappy.
"The document issued by the higher authorities stipulates that a household cannot raise more than two chickens. We passed by your brigade today—"
"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare dinner for you right away." The captain said gritting his teeth.
Seeing Luo Feng being humiliated, the student smiled smugly and said arrogantly, "If you had done this earlier, everything would have been fine. But even so, you still have to abide by the regulations. I'll give you three days to deal with the things that don't meet the regulations as soon as possible. We'll come over in three days, and we won't be as polite as we are now."
The students ate in the cafeteria and took the brigade's two flashlights when they left, saying that it was getting dark and they would need them to walk. They would return them after three days.
As for whether they will really pay it back, only they themselves know.
After seeing off these students, the captain looked at the messy cafeteria, with dishes and chopsticks scattered all over the place, and his temples throbbed.
Don't let them come again, he will just treat those two flashlights as broken.
At noon the next day, Luo Feng learned that the students had gone to the Shunliang Brigade next door and brought their equipment with them. They planned to spend the night in the mountains and threatened not to leave the mountains until they had hunted prey.
Seeing Gao Ren's anxious look, Luo Feng remained calm and said, "Even if something happens to them, what does it have to do with you? It wasn't you who let them into the mountain."
"That's what I said, but if something really happens on my territory, I won't be the captain anymore." Gao Ren begged Luo Feng with a sad face, "Just let Lin Qi go and protect these little bastards. I'll remember your kindness."
"No. Lin Qi has neither the responsibility nor the obligation. Have you ever thought about it, once Lin Qi leads them to hunt prey, given the temperament of those students, they would want to run to the mountains every day. With Lin Qi's ability, it is no problem to hunt all the animals within a radius of 100,000 miles. If those students ask Lin Qi to do so, will Lin Qi do it or not? If Lin Qi does not do it, will they embarrass Lin Qi? And if Lin Qi does it, how serious will the consequences be if the animals in the mountains and forests within a radius of 100,000 miles become extinct? Can you afford it?" The captain's words were loud and clear.
Gao Ren fell into deep thought, then fell silent, sitting in his chair for a long time before he said, "Am I really going to lose my position as captain?"
"Not necessarily. You can go to the commune and report that a group of students disobeyed advice and broke into the forest. You can also call the police and ask them to arrest the people." Luo Feng suggested.
Gao Ren slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, let's do it."
Gao Ren returned to Shunliang Brigade from the commune. It was already dark. When he asked the team members, he learned that the students had not come out of the mountains. He frowned and said, "Forget it. I don't care about them. I have already notified the commune and called the police. I have done what I should do. I will just leave it to fate."
The team members were about to speak, but Gao Ren interrupted them, "It's not as simple as just inviting Lin Qi here."
Gao Ren relayed Luo Feng's words to the team members, who listened and fell into deep thought.
Finally, a respected elder said, "That's right. It's right for Lin Qi not to come. You should tell your family members not to mention Lin Qi in front of those students."
However, it was still a step too late. As soon as they entered the mountain, the team member who led the students started telling them about the hunting trip that Lin Qi had taken them to a few years ago.
