Chapter 150: No Guessing
Lin Qi's whip killed seven wolves, plus the previous one, a total of eight. She used vines to tie the wolf corpses into two bundles, four in each bundle. Then she kicked over a half-grown tree nearby and got out a shoulder pole. The shoulder pole, which was as thick as an arm, could not bear the weight of eight wolves, but this was not a problem for her, she could just use her supernatural power to hold it together.
While she was doing these things, the twelve students were bandaging her wounds and secretly looking at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was as beautiful as a fairy in the moonlight, with delicate and perfect facial features and clean and fair skin that shone brightly in the moonlight.
Is this really a human?
Or is it a ghost in the forest that confuses people?
Yu Yang and others were shocked and confused.
Lin Qi was too lazy to care about them. She picked up the wolf's corpse and said without turning her head, "If you don't want to stay in the mountains and feed the wild beasts, follow me."
Seeing her leave, Yu Yang and others hurriedly followed.
Regardless of whether this was a human or a ghost, the fact was that she saved them. They could not stay in the mountains any longer, and they did not know which way to get out, so they could only follow her.
After walking for about ten minutes, Yu Yang finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Are you a member of the Shunliang Brigade?"
"No." Lin Qi's voice was as cold as the moonlight.
"Which team are you from and what's your name?" another student asked.
This time, Lin Qi did not answer.
She didn't answer. At any other time, the student would have been angry. But at this moment, he felt a little disappointed and had no other thoughts in his mind.
"Could she be Lin Qi? The very powerful and beautiful girl mentioned by the Shunliang team members." Another student whispered.
After he reminded them, everyone thought of the people who were praised by the members of the Shunliang Brigade. Whether they were powerful or beautiful, the people in front of them were worthy of the title.
"Are you Lin Qi?" Yu Yang asked loudly.
Lin Qi did not deny it.
"She didn't say anything, which meant she agreed."
Lin Qi was too lazy to talk to them. As for these students, they might lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong, but this was definitely not an excuse for them to cause trouble everywhere.
There are many junior high school and high school students in the town, why are you the only ones causing trouble everywhere? When she thought that these people might have participated in the bullying of Xu Hexiao, she wanted to beat them up.
Saving them and bringing them out of the mountain was already her limit.
After walking for about another half an hour, Lin Qi heard a loud whistle.
Lin Qi paused, bent her index finger and put it in her mouth. The next second, the same loud whistle sounded among the mountains and forests.
"Lin Qi is over there." Xu Hexiao said, and without waiting for others to react, he ran towards the direction where the whistle came from.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
Lin Qi whistled twice again before picking up her load and continuing to move forward.
"What was that signal just now? Is someone coming to see us?" Yu Yang asked, suppressing his excitement.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for me." Lin Qi said lightly.
Yu Yang: “….”
Anyway, it's good to have someone.
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao met soon. Seeing the burden on Lin Qi, he wanted to take it over without saying a word.
"Don't move, it's nearly a thousand pounds, you can't lift it." Lin Qi said.
"Then you put them down. There are a lot of people here, and everyone can help carry some." Xu Hexiao said.
Lin Qi put down the burden and asked, "How many people have entered the mountain?"
"About sixty people, divided into three teams." Xu Hexiao looked Lin Qi up and down, and found that she was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the twelve students and asked, "What happened to them?"
"Found it in the mountains. By the way, have all the people in our team returned? Is anyone injured?" Lin Qi did not forget the purpose of going into the mountains.
"Everyone has returned. No one was injured except Aunt Minghua." Xu Hexiao looked at the twelve students. Four of them had slightly familiar faces. When their eyes met his, the four people looked away in panic.
At this time, other people also arrived.
"Wow! Is this an unexpected gain?" Luo Cheng teased.
"Do you mean the wolves or these students?" Luo Qingbai crossed his arms across his chest, looking at the miserable condition of these students with an inexplicable sense of gloating.
"All." Luo Cheng said, and called everyone over, "Each person carries a wolf corpse, and we take turns every 20 minutes."
After taking the wolf corpse, Luo Cheng looked at the students again, "I see you are not missing any limbs, so just walk out on your own."
However, just as Luo Cheng finished his words, two students fainted, perhaps due to fatigue or excessive blood loss.
Luo Cheng: “….”
Damn, he suspected that these two guys did it on purpose.
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao walked in front, like playful children, whistling one after another, the loud, penetrating sound spread across the nearby mountains. About thirty minutes later, the other two teams also came over.
"At first I thought it was a bird chirping, but then I thought it was not right. It was the middle of the night and the bird was so crazy, chirping non-stop. Then I guessed it might be a human-made sound, so I came over here, but I didn't expect it to be a real one." Jian Yitong said.
Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi who were mistaken for birds: "........"
Seeing more and more people gathering together, the students' tense spirits finally relaxed. This relaxation had a huge impact. The remaining ten people were either dizzy or paralyzed, and none of them could walk.
Everyone in the Anliang Brigade was dumbfounded and had no choice but to take turns carrying them out.
"We didn't find our people when we came in, but we did find people who were not in the plan."
"I heard in the afternoon that Shunliang Brigade didn't find many people. I guess that's why they came to our side."
"I have to go to Shunliang Brigade to inform them. Who will make this trip? I don't want to go."
"Jane, you go with me. Take Lin Qi's bike."
"Sure, no problem."
“........”
After leaving the mountain, Lin Qi didn't care about the students. She only said to the captain, "I don't care about the wolf meat, but you have to leave the wolf skin to me."
"All?" the team asked.
"Yes, all of them." Lin Qi said, and after thinking for a while, "Forget it, just leave me seven. As for the remaining three, you can keep one for Aunt Minghua, and you can deal with the other two as you see fit."
The eight wolves she hunted, plus the two hunted by Xu Hexiao, made a total of ten wolves, which means ten wolf skins.
"Okay, no problem." The captain agreed. If he couldn't protect a few people in their team this time, his position as captain would be in vain.
After getting the response, Lin Qi went home with Xu Hexiao.
She didn't plan to care about what happened next.
When she and Xu Hexiao were having dinner, Jian Tongyi happened to come to borrow a bicycle. Seeing their sumptuous dinner, he washed his hands without saying a word and went to get the bowl, not considering himself an outsider at all.
"I haven't had dinner yet. First I have to look for someone, and then I have to go to Shunliang Brigade to inform the people over there. I don't have anything to eat, and I'm worried that I'll faint from hunger on the road." Jian Tongyi made excuses for himself.
Lin Qi didn't say anything and ate his own food. Instead, Xu Hexiao served him a bowl of soup because he went into the mountains to look for Lin Qi.
Jian Tong hurriedly ate two bowls of rice and drank a bowl of soup before riding his bike out.
After eating and taking a bath, Lin Qi went back to her room to sleep. However, Xu Hexiao was still in the study, reading and practicing calligraphy. It was not until eleven o'clock that Xu Hexiao blew out the kerosene lamp, closed the door, and quietly left Lin Qi's house.
He looked in the direction of the brigade cafeteria, where the lights were bright and noisy sounds could be heard from time to time.
He silently withdrew his gaze and walked towards his home.
That night, the captain persuaded the police to keep eight wolf skins, and the other two were bought by the leaders of the commune. The meat of four of the ten wolves was divided up by the parents of the students and the leaders of the commune, two were given to the police officers who had worked hard to find the suspects, and the remaining four were left in the Anliang Brigade.
"That was the wolf hunted by Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao. Why?" The team members were very angry.
"Just because they are unreasonable." Another team member sneered.
"I heard that out of more than 50 people, 18 died, 9 were seriously injured, and the two team members who led the way from Shunliang were also injured. With such heavy casualties, I'm afraid the county will have to file a complaint."
"Since their people have died, they have the right to share our meat?" The topic returned to wolf meat.
"If you don't tell them apart, they'll throw a tantrum and refuse to leave. What can you do?"
"Forget it, don't be angry, go back to sleep, and eat wolf meat tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
On the way back, a parent couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Was it really that Lin Qi who saved you?"
"Mom, you've asked me so many times. It was Lin Qi who saved me. If she hadn't shown up in time, you wouldn't be able to see me, your son."
"It's not that I don't want to believe it, but I think it's too exaggerated. I heard that Lin Qi is only 19 years old. How can a little girl like her fight off a group of wild beasts?"
"He is gifted. He used a whip, no, it was a vine, and swung it into shadows. The leopards, tigers, and even black bears were all unable to escape. They were all beaten to pieces, without any power to fight back."
"That's right. The wolves that were slightly weaker had their bones broken by her vines, and died."
"I think if the beasts hadn't escaped, they would all have died at her hands."
"Speaking of whippings, do you remember that time, those people who were whipped in front of the commune, the murderer was never found. Could it be——"
"Ahem, we can't make up things without any evidence." Captain Song, who had been listening for a long time, interrupted the students.
Unfortunately, this time he was the one leading the team to the mountains to look for someone.
"We're just guessing," the student murmured.
"You are just guessing, but people who hear it will take it seriously. If it spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, then even if Lin Qi jumps into the Yellow River, she won't be able to clear herself of the blame." Captain Song said seriously, looking directly into the student's eyes, "Lin Qi saved the lives of all twelve of you. Are you going to repay kindness with enmity?"
"No, I can't." The student shook his head repeatedly.
"That's it." Captain Song said, "Don't speculate, don't spread rumors, it will kill people."
Captain Song put emphasis on the words "killing people".
The students present couldn't help but shudder.
Later, when the twelve students went back and talked about this incident, they only said that a powerful person saved them, but they kept silent about how they were saved.
Later, even if someone let the cat out of the bag and some people suspected the whipping in front of the commune, and came to these students to verify it, these students shook their heads and denied it.
