Chapter 59 Love Rival
The captain and the members of the Anliang Brigade did not expect that Xu Hexiao proposed this condition. He could obviously take this opportunity to improve his treatment in the brigade!
"Just this?" The captain was a little surprised.
"Yes, this is it." Xu Hexiao said, "I want to eat meat for one thing, and I want to learn how to build a house for another. Our straw shed collapsed, so we live in the cowshed now. But we can't live in the cowshed forever, because three cows in the cowshed are pregnant, and when the calves are born, there won't be enough space in the cowshed."
"I see." The captain suddenly realized, "Okay, as a reward, I will allow you to help build the house every day."
"Thank you." Xu Hexiao bowed to the captain. When he stood up straight, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over Lin Qi. When their eyes met, he curled his lips slightly at her.
In the cowshed, Old Man Xu carefully stroked the military uniform, his eyes moist, "When your father said he wanted to join the army, it was me who couldn't bear to let him go, so I didn't let him go. If he had gone, our Xu family might not be what it is today -"
"Grandpa, don't blame yourself." Xu Hexiao comforted him, blinked cunningly, and said, "If Dad had joined the army, I would not exist in this world."
Old Man Xu was startled, then smiled, "That's right."
Xu Hexiao also laughed and changed the subject, "There are two sets of military uniforms, one for you and one for me."
"I'm an old man and I don't need it. You can give one set to Lin Qi. This is a rare item and it's rare in Jiahe Commune." Old Man Xu said earnestly, "If you like a girl, treat her better and think of her when you have good things."
"No one in the Anliang Brigade wears military uniform. If she wears it, others will know that it was given to her by me. Her situation was not good to begin with, and if it is related to me, it will probably be even worse." Xu Hexiao said.
Old Man Xu sighed and said, "Forget it then."
When the commendation ceremony was over, Lin Qi was retained by the captain, deputy captain, accountant and others.
"Sit here and have some tea." The captain moved a chair to Lin Qi, very politely.
Lin Qi glanced at the enamel cup covered with thick tea stains and shook her head, "I won't drink it. If you have something to say, let's talk about it."
The captain smiled on his dark face, "This is what happened--"
Five minutes later.
Lin Qi, who knew the cause of the incident, said with a wooden face, "Are you being threatened?"
Well-
"Although that's what you mean, it's better not to use the word threat." The captain said unnaturally.
"Right, right, right. You can't use that word. If others hear it, it will have a bad influence." The deputy captain also said, looking at Lin Qi with expectant eyes, "Lin Qi, you have a solution, right?"
Lin Qi didn't agree directly, but asked, "Does it have to be wild boar meat?"
"There is no requirement for this. Not only wild boar meat, wolf meat is also fine. If all else fails, pheasant or rabbit can be used to make up the number. There is a shortage of meat everywhere now, so it's good enough to have some. Who cares what kind of meat it is?" said the captain.
"What about the quantity? How many kilograms?" The animals in the cave ate the plants she had helped to grow, and grew rapidly. But she didn't plan to touch those animals, she wanted to keep them for breeding. If the captain and his men wanted a large quantity, she planned to clear out the wolf packs around her planting area and bring the wolf carcasses home.
The question sounded as if you could get as much as I wanted. The captain complained in his heart, but with a flattering smile on his face, "Of course the more the better."
Lin Qi nodded, "I understand. When do you want it?"
"Five days later. You can prepare in these five days, and leave the construction of the house to us." The captain patted his chest, "We will definitely help you build a beautiful house!"
When Lin Qi arrived at the cowshed, the food had already been served and the table was placed on the open space outside the cowshed.
"Waiting for me?" Lin Qi sat down without being invited, with a relaxed and casual attitude, as if she was at home.
Xu Hexiao served her the meal and brought her a basin of water for her to wash her hands.
After she washed her hands, Old Man Xu picked up the chopsticks and took the first bite of food.
"You should have made other requests today." Lin Qi looked at Xu Hexiao helplessly. He actually wasted such a good opportunity.
Xu Hexiao knew what Lin Qi was referring to. He shook his head and said, "If I ask for the same rights as the ordinary team members, I'm afraid they won't be happy."
After all, he was one of the five black categories, and in the eyes of those people, he was destined to be inferior to others.
Lin Qi was thoughtful. It seemed that she had to find a way to remove the label of the five black categories from Xu Hexiao and his grandfather's heads.
What can we do?
Lin Qi couldn't think of it for the time being. At this time, she didn't know that Xu Hexiao and his grandfather would not be able to take off the hat of the "five black categories" in the short term, and this hat would continue to follow them for more than ten years.
After dinner, Lin Qi returned to the cave.
She didn't rush to bed, but went towards the mountains.
She didn't know if there were any wolves nearby, and for the sake of her goats, she had to go and check.
The forest was moist and dense. Lin Qi did not walk properly, but swung from one tree to another like a clever monkey, grabbing the vines.
In just a few minutes, she climbed over two hills and entered a more sparsely populated area. When she got here, Lin Qi found that her clothes were no longer enough to resist the mosquitoes in the forest.
The mosquitoes here are bigger than flies, with long mouthparts that pierce the skin and cause extreme itching. After Lin Qi was bitten, she used her supernatural power to attach to the surface of her body, isolating herself from the outside world.
Lin Qi thought that few people came into the deep mountains because there were poisonous insects and beasts in the deep mountains. These poisonous insects should refer to mosquitoes. After all, most snakes would not actively provoke humans, but mosquitoes would swarm up at the smell, which was really life-threatening.
The buzzing sound in her ears made Lin Qi feel irritated, and she could not help but speed up. After more than ten minutes, Lin Qi found the traces of the wolf pack in a valley.
This is a large group of wolves, with a total of sixty-three wolves, including more than forty adult wolves. It is a very powerful group.
Moreover, this valley is only three hills away from her planting area. It only takes half an hour for these wolves to reach her planting area. Once these wolves go to her planting area, there will be no hair left in her planting area.
Must be expelled!
The next morning, Lin Qi came back from the mountain carrying two bamboo baskets. In the baskets, like yesterday, were two skinned wolves.
"It's a wolf again. Did she destroy the wolf den?" the team members asked.
Lin Qi remained calm, thinking that she had not destroyed the wolf's den. She had just chased the wolves all night, and finally drove the wolves back to the forest through coercion, inducement and intimidation.
If they dare to hang around her plants again next time, don't blame her for being cruel.
The team leader said he was here to help Lin Qi supervise the work, and he really came to help Lin Qi supervise the work. After breakfast, he arrived at Lin Qi's homestead early.
At this time, people were arriving at the homestead one after another. The first ones to arrive did not waste time, but started working with their tools. When the team leader saw Lin Qi, he immediately frowned and said, "I told you I would help you watch it. Why don't you believe me?"
Hearing the captain's unhappy words, everyone pricked up their ears. What happened?
"You don't need it until five days later. It's too early to kill it. I'm afraid the meat will go bad." Lin Qi said calmly.
It is late autumn now, the temperature is not high at night, but there is still sunshine during the day. If the meat is left for four or five days, it will definitely go bad.
"Are you sure you can hunt the required prey in one night?" the captain asked with some reassurance.
"Don't I get to hunt prey every day now?" Lin Qi asked back.
The captain choked, "It's OK as long as you have your own ideas."
She has never let you down, so just trust her for now.
Lin Qi still stayed to work, Xu Hexiao was not far from her, he could see her when he looked up. Because he had been paying attention to Lin Qi, Xu Hexiao found that besides himself, there was another person who was also paying attention to her all the time.
This person is Luo Qingbai, one of the most outstanding young men in Anliang Brigade. He once heard an aunt tell her daughter that she wanted to marry someone like Luo Qingbai, who had many brothers and healthy parents. He was the most favored in the family and would definitely be the one who would get the most help from his parents in the future.
In addition to Luo Qingbai's family, he himself is tall and handsome, down-to-earth and hardworking, and can earn ten work points every day, which is also extremely impressive.
Xu Hexiao approached Luo Qingbai calmly. He estimated secretly and then found sadly that he was a head shorter than Luo Qingbai at this moment.
Let’s not talk about his facial features for now, just based on his height, he is easily beaten by his opponent!
Xu Hexiao was very depressed.
Throughout the day, in addition to paying attention to Lin Qi, Xu Hexiao also devoted part of his attention to Luo Qingbai. Once Luo Qingbai approached Lin Qi, he would immediately become like a little lion with its fur standing on end, ready to enter combat mode at any time.
His gaze was not concealed, and Luo Qingbai also noticed him.
Luo Qingbai took two or three steps to Xu Hexiao and looked him down, "You are hostile to me!"
It's not a question, but an affirmation.
Luo Qingbai looked at Xu Hexiao, then at Lin Qi, and seemed to understand something.
Only men understand when they look into women's eyes.
but--
"You're just a little dwarf, have you grown all your hair yet you dare to think about women!" Luo Qingbai said with contempt. He didn't regard Xu Hexiao as an opponent. He was just a member of the five black categories. Even the worst woman in the Anliang Brigade looked down on him.
