Chapter 68 Heading to Shunliang Brigade
When Lin Qi arrived at the brigade office, there were already four people waiting there, some of whom she knew, such as San Ya's brother Luo Dali and Luo Qingbai. To her surprise, Jian Yitong was also there.
"My name is Luo Cheng." The young man, the only one whose name Lin Qi couldn't remember, introduced himself.
Lin Qi nodded slightly towards the other party as a greeting.
"You must be careful in the mountains. All of you must listen to Lin Qi. Do whatever she tells you to do. If you don't want anything to happen, just follow Lin Qi closely." The captain warned.
"Got it, Captain." Jane and the other four answered in unison.
"Then let's go." The captain waved his hand at them, "The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back."
The Anliang Battalion and the Shunliang Battalion are ten miles apart. One mile is 500 meters, and ten miles is 5,000 meters. This distance is not far.
The person leading the way was Luo Cheng. He was the oldest among the four people, in his twenties, already married, and looked more stable.
"We men have longer legs and walk faster. Lin Qi, if you can't keep up, just tell us and we will slow down." Luo Cheng said.
"No, no need, brother. No matter how fast you are, you are not as fast as her." Luo Dali said. Because he knew Lin Qi, his attitude was much more natural. "You didn't see her on the day of the fire. She was like a gust of wind, and she blew past us in a flash. We couldn't even see her back."
"So powerful!" Luo Cheng was surprised.
"She is so powerful, so there is no need to accommodate her. It's good enough that she doesn't accommodate us." Luo Dali said.
Lin Qi did not refute.
Luo Cheng smiled, "Okay, then let's speed up, get to Shunliang Brigade earlier, get into the mountains earlier, and come back earlier tonight."
"There are many hunters staying overnight in the mountains. They may not be able to leave the mountains tonight." Luo Qingbai said, looking at Lin Qi, "Lin Qi, what do you think?"
Lin Qi nodded, "If we go deeper, there is a real possibility that we won't be able to get out that night."
If she was alone, she naturally wouldn't have to spend the night in the mountains, but if she was with a team, she could only move at the same pace as everyone else.
"It's okay. We are rough men, we have no fear of spending the night in the wild. It's just hard work for you, Lin Qi." Looking at her delicate skin that would break at the slightest touch, it was really unbearable to let her spend the night in the mountains.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." In the end times, it is abnormal to have a bed to sleep in.
Lin Qi was thinking about her previous life, but the people present misunderstood and thought she was talking about the fact that she was living in the mountains now.
A girl living alone in the mountains, all alone, even if she is not afraid, she will feel lonely.
For a moment, the four men couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Qi.
Jian Tongyi apologized directly, "I'm sorry. It was us who kicked you out of the educated youth camp, leaving you without even a place to sleep."
"No need to apologize. I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found such a good excuse to move out of the educated youth center. After all, even if I wanted to leave, the team leader wouldn't allow it. With your help, I left the educated youth center and built my own house. I don't know how comfortable I am now." Lin Qi said lightly, and it can be seen that she really doesn't care about being kicked out of the educated youth center.
Jian Tongyi smiled bitterly, "It's good that you left. The educated youth camp is very noisy every day now. It's so annoying."
He thought that after Lin Qi left, everyone could live in peace, but the disputes still continued. He missed the days when Jiang Wanwan and the other four did not come to the educated youth center. Although everyone was tired from working, the atmosphere in the educated youth center was harmonious, and from time to time they could enjoy Lin Qi's blessing and have a good meal. Strangely enough, when Lin Qi was at the educated youth center, even the vegetables tasted better.
But how could the vegetables grown from the same plot of land be so different? Jian Yitong couldn't understand it.
Lin Qi was not concerned about the affairs of the educated youth center and did not ask any further questions.
The others were very curious, but since Lin Qi didn't ask, Jian Tongyi didn't say anything.
It is already late autumn, the wind is howling, and the sun has not yet come out. Everyone is wearing thin clothes, and whenever the wind blows, several grown men can't help but shiver.
"It's too cold, shall we go for a run?" Luo Cheng suggested.
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Luo Cheng took the lead and trotted, "We didn't plant cotton today, and we don't know how we will survive the winter."
"We always spent the year by the fire," said Luo Dali.
"Dali, your family has made new clothes for you, what are you afraid of?" Luo Cheng asked curiously.
"It's an autumn shirt, and it's cold too." Their family had no cotton coupons, and they saved up cloth coupons for a long time before they could barely buy enough to buy one piece of clothing.
"After you get married, lend me your dress for two days." Luo Cheng said.
"You have to queue up. Many people want to borrow my clothes. If I hadn't needed to wear new clothes for my wedding, these clothes would have been lent out long ago." Luo Dali's tone was somewhat helpless.
"Brother Luo Cheng, you are already married, why are you still borrowing clothes? People borrow clothes just to look nice on their blind dates." When Luo Qingbai talked about blind dates, his eyes secretly glanced at Lin Qi.
But Lin Qi didn't look away, as if she wasn't listening to their conversation.
"Do you still need to borrow clothes for a blind date?" Jian Tongyi was a little surprised.
"Of course. If you don't have new clothes, you must borrow one. When you go to the girl's house for a blind date, you can't wear old clothes with patches on them, right?" Luo Dali remembered that when he went on a blind date, he also borrowed clothes from others.
Jian Tong looked educated, "So that's how it is. I should lend it to you. But what if the girl finds out that the dress is not yours after she gets married?"
Luo Dali looked at Jian Tongyi in surprise, "You're already married, so if you find out, then so what, can you run back to your parents' home? Besides, you borrow clothes when you go on a blind date, but you wear new clothes when you get married. This can be considered as having new clothes to wear."
Jane Tongyi: “….”
These people were talking about clothes. Lin Qi couldn't help but think of Xu Hexiao. Xu Hexiao didn't have any summer clothes, so would he have thick winter clothes?
But Xu Hexiao's status doesn't allow him to wear too nice clothes.
This is not easy to do.
When Lin Qi and his party arrived at Shunliang Brigade, it was already dawn. As soon as they entered the village, the people guarding the village entrance came to greet them.
"You must be frozen after traveling so early. Come with me to have a bowl of hot porridge." A middle-aged man said to Lin Qi and the others with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle." Luo Cheng also smiled.
Next, Luo Cheng and the uncle were chatting happily in the front, while Lin Qi and the other three followed quietly behind.
Lin Qi probably knew why the captain arranged Luo Cheng to come in and build interpersonal relationships.
The uncle took them to the captain Gao Ren's home.
Gao Ren's house looks old, but it is large. However, there are many people in his family, big and small, totaling nearly twenty people.
As soon as Lin Qi entered the room, more than a dozen pairs of eyes swept towards her. Perhaps because they had been warned, although they were very curious about her, no one spoke.
Gao Ren showed great enthusiasm for their arrival. Not only did he ask about their well-being, he also personally served them porridge. He handed it to Lin Qi first, and Lin Qi took it directly without refusing. Seeing this, the others also took the bowls. However, everyone only drank a bowl of porridge and stopped.
Everyone was short of food, and no one went to other people's homes to eat for free these days. Even if they had to go, they would put down their bowls and chopsticks after eating half full. Only those with bad hearts and greed would shamelessly fill their stomachs.
"Shall we set off now?" Lin Qi asked.
"If you don't feel tired, it would be best to set off now." Gao Ren smiled amiably.
Lin Qi nodded, "Let's go now."
There are five people in the Anliang Brigade and forty-one in the Shunliang Brigade, forty young and middle-aged people plus the middle-aged and elderly person Gao Ren.
Gao Ren had carefully selected those forty people from among all the team members to make sure they were in good physical condition, could endure fatigue, and would not faint in the mountains and thus drag everyone down.
After leaving Gao Ren's house, the number of eyes on Lin Qi increased instead of decreasing. When the members of Shunliang Brigade learned that the people who came to help them hunt had arrived, they all came out of their homes at the same time.
They had heard that the Anliang Brigade had hunted and killed ten wolves not long ago, and they were really curious about who was so capable.
They saw five unfamiliar faces, and were especially stunned when they saw Lin Qi.
This little girl is so pretty!
Why is such a pretty girl here?
The members of Shunliang Brigade were curious, but no one dared to ask loudly. They were told the day before that when the people from Anliang Brigade came over, they should talk less so as not to upset them.
At that time, they didn't understand why a simple word could make someone unhappy, but now that they saw this little girl, they understood. If the captain hadn't warned them in advance, those men would have rushed forward long ago, not to mention talking nonsense, they would have even whistled like hooligans.
It seems that their captain knew in advance that this girl was coming.
But why?
What can a fair, tender and fragile girl do if she goes to the mountains?
No one answered the doubts of the Shunliang team members, not even Gao Ren himself. He couldn't make a judgment before seeing Lin Qi's strength with his own eyes.
So he chose not to say anything.
The mountains on the Shunliang Brigade side are actually connected to the mountains on the Anliang Brigade. It is an endless mountain range and no one knows where the other end of the mountain range is.
The group of people marched in a mighty procession, and wherever they went, even the chirping of insects and birds stopped.
They climbed over three hills, and the grass and trees became more lush and the road became more difficult to walk on.
"The last time our team members saw a wild boar was in the area in front of us." Gao Ren pointed in a direction to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi looked in the direction of his finger and saw only lush and green trees.
"No rush, we still have some distance to go, let's keep going." Gao Ren said.
Lin Qi nodded.
After walking for about another hour, there was no road left and we needed someone to clear the way for us to move forward.
"Captain, this is the place. Last time, I saw four wild boars." said a team member.
Gao Ren looked in the direction he pointed, but there was nothing there. "Where are the others? Where did you find the wild boars?"
"I'm over there."
"I'm in the col to the south."
It's not the same location, which is not easy to do.
"Let's search separately in two teams. If you find a wild boar, don't act rashly. Send someone to notify the other team." Gao Ren said.
The forty young men were quickly divided into two teams. Gao Ren looked at Luo Cheng and the other three, "Do you want to get a share too?"
Luo Cheng shook his head. "Our captain asked us to follow Lin Qi closely. Wherever Lin Qi goes, we will go."
Gao Ren's mouth twitched, "Your captain really trusts Lin Qi."
"Of course." Luo Cheng smiled, "Don't you also trust Lin Qi? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to our team specifically to invite someone."
As soon as Luo Cheng's words came out, everyone in Shunliang Brigade widened their eyes. It turned out that the hunting master was the girl who was as beautiful as a fairy!
