Chapter 49 She is not human
The captain directed the team members to load sack after sack of food into Lin Qi's car.
"Captain, it's almost time. We won't be able to pull it anymore soon." The team member advised.
"Add two more bags, no, add four bags!" The captain refused to listen.
Lin Qi looked at the food cart which was even fuller than the previous one, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Where on earth did this old man get his confidence from?
"Captain, that's enough, the car is about to overturn!" the team members continued to persuade.
"Add it to me, quickly!" The captain said impatiently. He knew it was dangerous, but what could he do? Now only Lin Qi's car could pull it.
After loading, he covered the car with a tarpaulin and patted the car, "Lin Qi, let's go! Let's go back and come back!"
Lin Qi: “….”
"Captain, send two people to follow the car."
"No! She can!"
Lin Qi's mouth twitched. How could she be able to do it? Even if she could, she wasn't the one pulling the cart!
In the rain, Lin Qi touched her cheek with the tip of her tongue and sneered, "This rain, this autumn harvest, it seems like they won't stop until they kill me!"
As the team members expected, the ground became slippery after the cow took only two steps.
This stretch of road was covered with yellow mud, and the mountains were also covered with yellow mud. The heavy rain washed away the mud and water, and the sticky yellow mud stuck to the wheels, piling up more and more on the wheels, and soon accumulated into several thick layers.
If this continues, the ox cart will definitely not be able to return to the warehouse.
Lin Qi gritted her teeth and cursed God under her breath. The next second, she resigned herself to her fate and used her supernatural powers. A neat, vine-paved road appeared under the wheels.
The wheels were moving forward, and the vines were moving forward as well. No one noticed this strange scene, and no one saw the long, dragging marks on the ground.
Lin Qi drove the ox cart smoothly all the way, which was in stark contrast to the other ox carts that slipped on the road and got stuck in the mud.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. In the end, all the other ox carts stopped moving, and only Lin Qi drove the cart out of the warehouse.
"Qingbai, why did Lin Qi go out again? Why don't you try to persuade her?" said a young man.
"You can't persuade her. All the other cars can't move, only her car can. She must go. Otherwise, what about the grain in the field?" Luo Qingbai looked into the rain, but couldn't see anything. The rain was too heavy. "Don't just stand there, unload the car quickly and put the wet grain in a separate warehouse."
The Xu family built so many rooms in the beginning, and although some of them were smashed and damaged, there are still quite a few left. Now they have become the brigade's warehouses, and are very convenient to use.
"I see everyone is carrying the crops in backpacks or on shoulders. I don't know how much is left in the fields and how long we will have to work." said the team member worriedly.
The fish was so big that Lin Qi could hardly open her eyes as she sat on the cow's back. The rain was pouring down in streams. The road was already filled with water, ranging from the ankles to the knees.
The bull under her became extremely impatient at this moment. Lin Qi could only continuously input supernatural powers into its body. She looked up at the sky. It was raining so heavily that it seemed as if the sky was falling.
I'm afraid there will be a flood, Lin Qi murmured in her heart.
thump!
Someone fell on his butt in the water.
"The rain is too heavy, send the children back first." the deputy captain shouted.
"The rain is getting heavier. Don't let the children be washed away." The old accountant wiped his face and listened to the children's crying, his heart aching.
"Kids, come gather here with uncle." The deputy captain shouted, and the light of the flashlight hidden in the plastic bag had become very weak.
"Everyone, please pay attention and send your children to me."
"Children, come to uncle, let's go home!"
"Come here quickly, the water is getting higher, be careful everyone!"
The water flows down from the mountains, from the higher places to the lower places, converging from all directions, rushing onto the roads and into the fields.
"Lin Qi, stop the car here!" The captain waved at Lin Qi. The place where he was standing was slightly higher than other places nearby. But even so, the water reached his calves.
Lin Qi stopped the car. She led the cow and calmed the restless bull, while the team leader was responsible for turning the car around.
"Hurry, load the truck, everyone, please move faster. This is the last truckload. For the rest, everyone will carry a backpack each and carry it back to the warehouse."
There was a loud bang and everyone's bodies trembled.
"This lightning is a little close to us!"
"It's right on the mountain, how can we not be close?"
"In previous years, there were people who were killed by lightning—"
"Shut your crow mouth, bad luck!"
"I just want to tell you, what's the matter, you won't even tell me!"
tear——
The light of lightning illuminated the entire night, and also illuminated the pale faces of the Anliang Brigade members. This time, without urging, everyone worked hard to speed up.
Bag after bag of grain was loaded onto the ox cart, and child after child gathered near the ox cart.
Lin Qi looked at the cart that was getting fuller and fuller and wanted to stop it, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw the young man carrying the sack fall on the ridge of the field, and his head hit the yellow muddy water.
Xu Hexiao!
Lin Qi took a step forward, but the young man raised his head from the mud, stood up, and went to pick up the sack of food again.
The grain became heavier after being soaked in water. Xu Hexiao tried several times before he finally lifted the sack. Lin Qi looked at the veins on the boy's forehead and her eyes darkened.
One step, two steps, three steps——
Lin Qi counted silently in her mind, and when the boy came to the front of the car, she reached out and took the sack.
Xu Hexiao's hands lightened, he looked up, and only saw the girl's profile. He didn't say anything, and silently took two steps back. Just as he turned to leave, a crisp cracking sound came into his ears. He turned his head sharply and looked up the mountain, and saw a huge rock rolling down from the middle of the mountain, only a dozen meters away from them.
The direction in which the boulder rolled down——
Xu Hexiao turned his head and saw the deputy captain and several children there.
“Run!”
"There's a rockfall!"
The rain was too heavy and the thunder was constant; the boy's hoarse voice was like a gong and was quickly drowned out.
"There's a boulder, run!"
The boy shouted as he rushed towards the deputy captain and several children.
This time, the deputy captain finally heard his words and heard the loud noise behind him. He turned his head sharply and saw the boulder was within reach.
Almost subconsciously, the deputy captain pushed the child beside him away with both hands.
Xu Hexiao also arrived at this time. He pushed the child away, but fell to the ground and watched the boulder roll towards him.
It's over, he thought.
He wanted to turn his head to take a last look at the slender figure, but he was hit by a splash of water, blurring his eyes.
"Why are you standing there? I can't hold on any longer. Let's go—"
"Deputy Captain, retreat!"
The team members who arrived picked up the child, dragged the deputy captain and ran to the side.
As they ran, they never forgot to look back. How did the girl and the huge rock hold on?
The cries and screams of the children and the anxious shouts of the team members attracted everyone nearby. Then, everyone saw this scene - the thin and frail girl, with her own strength, used her hands to block the huge rock rolling down the mountain.
That's a huge rock weighing one or two tons!
Xu Hexiao realized belatedly what Lin Qi had done. He struggled to get up from the water, but did not step away. Instead, he tried to help her block the rocks.
"Go away!" Lin Qi shouted coldly.
Xu Hexiao's body froze after being scolded by her, but he said stubbornly, "You go, I'll hold on."
"You can't do it, hurry up and don't hold us back." Lin Qi had reached her limit at this point.
Upon hearing this, Xu Hexiao could only grit his teeth and step aside.
As soon as he stepped back, Lin Qi immediately withdrew her hand and rolled to the side.
Boom!
This time it was not thunder, but the sound of a huge rock hitting the road. The rock rolled from the road to the ground and stopped there.
"Lin Qi, Lin Qi——"
The captain shouted anxiously, and when he saw Lin Qi in the water, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person was not crushed into meat paste.
"She is not human!"
A shrill, trembling voice shouted.
Everyone was stunned and looked up at the man. When they saw his face, they were even more shocked.
This former witch of the Anliang Brigade, after breaking the feudal superstition, she no longer does those supernatural things on the surface, but in private, many people still secretly go to her for help. Many people in the Anliang Brigade still believe in her ability.
Now she pointed at Lin Qi and said that Lin Qi was not a human being. Everyone felt a chill on their backs and shivered.
Thinking back carefully, Lin Qi is really suspicious.
Who can shoot hundreds of sparrows in a day?
Who can catch hundreds of kilograms of fish in a day, with each fish weighing more than ten kilograms?
Who can catch more than a thousand mice in half a day?
Who could hunt so many preys by himself?
The answer is no!
No normal human being can do these things!
If Lin Qi is not a human, then everything is explained.
Lightning was still striking not far away, the light flickering, and the girl in the rain was pale, without a trace of blood, looking even more weird.
"Aunt Zhang, be careful with your words!" the captain scolded the fortune-teller.
"I'm not mistaken, she is not human! No!" The witch's voice was sharp.
"Aunt Zhang, don't talk nonsense--"
tear——
Lightning tore through the sky and came down with a snap, striking Lin Qi squarely on the head.
"Lin Qi!"
Xu Hexiao pounced over, but was still a step too late.
The girl in the mud was struck by lightning, her body convulsed a few times, and finally she fell down stiffly.
"Lin Qi!"
Xu Hexiao picked the person up, his eyes bloodshot, "Lin Qi, wake up, wake up quickly!"
Lin Qi opened her eyes and rolled her eyeballs. The numbness in her body was still there, but other than the numbness, she did not feel much pain.
Is this what being struck by lightning feels like?
It actually feels pretty good.
The stubborn congestion in the body was now completely gone. After being struck by lightning, the energy that had been completely consumed was actually restored by 20% to 30%.
"Lin Qi?"
Xu Hexiao carefully straightened her body, "Are you awake, Lin Qi?"
"Yeah." Her body was slowly regaining consciousness.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Can you stand up?" Xu Hexiao stared at her face nervously.
"It's okay." Lin Qi said, supporting Xu Hexiao's shoulders with her hands and slowly standing up.
"She's not dead!" The fortune teller Aunt Zhang was terrified.
The team members also huddled together, their eyes filled with fear.
They confirmed that Lin Qi was really not a human, and no one could be struck by lightning and remain unharmed.
"She is a ghost in human skin!" Aunt Zhang said again.
Lin Qi: “….”
