Chapter 85 Rescue Again
When Brother Tan got off the car and saw the mountains of goods, he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"You can also drive!" Xu Hexiao said in surprise. There is no man who doesn't like cars.
"I didn't know how to drive before. I followed the driver a few times, gave the driver a lot of alcohol and cigarettes, and shamelessly worshipped a master, begging him to teach me a few times." Brother Tan half-jokingly said, "But it's useless to know how to drive. I don't have the opportunity to touch the steering wheel normally. There are only a few cars in the whole Jiahe Town."
Xu Hexiao hummed, retracting the desire in his eyes, "The car is making a lot of noise, let's load the things in quickly."
The height of the truck bed was not low, and Brother Tan had been thinking about working together with Xu Hexiao to lift the four heavier baskets of sweet potatoes and taro. However, before he could say anything, he saw Lin Qi easily carrying a basket of sweet potatoes and putting it on the truck.
The effortless look made Brother Tan suspect that the basket was filled with straw with only a few sweet potatoes on top. He walked to the basket, bent over and hugged it, trying to lift it up.
Hmm!
Brother Tan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to barely put the basket on the car.
On the other side, Lin Qi had already put the other two baskets on the car and was now starting to move the vegetables.
"How strong is she?" Brother Tan leaned close to Xu Hexiao's ear and asked in a low voice.
"She can kill a wolf with one punch, what do you think?" Xu Hexiao asked back.
Brother Tan gasped immediately. No wonder he could hunt so many prey.
Brother Tan transported the items away and agreed to deliver them to Lin Qi immediately after the money was settled.
Xu Hexiao had to take care of his grandfather, so Lin Qi took the initiative to take over the job of herding cattle.
The captain looked at the little girl in front of him and frowned. "I passed by your house yesterday and found a patch of green on the ground near your house. When I looked closer, I found that it was vegetable seedlings. Didn't I tell you not to open up the land?"
"I didn't open up the wasteland." Lin Qi said, and explained seriously, "I didn't move the stones, the grass, or the trees."
"But you grow vegetables." The captain glanced at her, "If everyone is like you, growing a little of this and a little of that, then all the wasteland in the Anliang Brigade will be occupied."
"I didn't take any of it. There were just some vegetable seeds left over, so I just scattered them everywhere." Lin Qi didn't seem to think she had done anything wrong.
The captain laughed angrily, "If everyone spreads it randomly, then vegetables can grow even in the cracks of rocks in this village and outside the village? Will there be a place for people to step on?"
"There are vegetables everywhere. We can pick them anywhere. We don't have to go to the mountains or fields to find wild vegetables. Isn't this great?" Lin Qi looked at the captain with big eyes in confusion.
"Each household is entitled to two acres of vegetable plots. That's the rule. " The team leader found that reasoning was not going to work for him, so he had to cite the regulations.
"I don't want those vegetable fields. I'm just sowing some seeds. Can't you just treat them as wild?" Lin Qi looked innocent.
The captain sneered, "Since it's wild, don't get angry when others come to pick it!"
"Don't be angry, it's not mine, why don't you pick it for everyone?" Lin Qi looked at the captain with a puzzled look, and said impatiently, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, I'll go herd the cattle."
After saying that, Lin Qi turned and left.
The captain who stayed where he was: "............"
He is indeed stupid, his thinking process is different from others.
Before Lin Qi reached the cowshed, she was stopped by someone.
"The postman just came to the educated youth point and said that there is a package for you at the post office." Jian Yi said. It has been a while since I last saw her. She seems to be more beautiful, with a fair complexion and a slim body.
Jian Tong only glanced at him twice and then looked away. "My family also mailed me something. I'm going to town now. Would you like to come with me?"
"I'm busy. I have to herd cattle today." Lin Qi replied.
"What about tomorrow?" Since he didn't have to work now, he could wait until tomorrow.
"I have to herd cattle tomorrow and I have to herd cattle recently." But she can go early in the morning, come back early, and then go herd cattle again when she comes back.
Jian Tongyi frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "You go herd cattle, where are Xu Hexiao and Old Man Xu?"
"Grandpa Xu is sick, and Xu Hexiao has to take care of him." Lin Qi explained.
Jian Tong remained silent. He had to take care of his grandfather, but you were helping him herd cattle. What was your relationship with him?
"Lin Qi, you have to know that if you marry Xu Hexiao, you will also be classified as one of the five black categories, and your parents and your brother will also be affected. The lightest result is losing your job, and in serious cases, they will even have to come to the countryside for reform." Jian Tongyi said earnestly.
Lin Qi remained calm and said, "I have no plans to get married."
Jian Yitong smiled, "Okay, I understand. I'm going to the post office now. If you trust me, I can help you get the package back."
"Then thank you for your help." Lin Qi had no doubt about Jian Tongyi's character.
The ground is yellow and withered everywhere. There is nothing for the cows to eat when they are brought out in this season. The purpose is just to let them take a walk.
Lin Qi drove the cattle to the mountain. The cattle walked in front and she followed behind, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"Lin Qi——"
Luo Wei saw Lin Qi herding cattle and waved at her vigorously.
Lin Qi looked at him and found that in addition to Lowe, there were other children at the scene, some in their teens and some only four or five years old.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qi asked.
"I'm smoking a rat. Can't you see?" Lowe said, holding a stick in his hand.
Lin Qi nodded, "Now I know. Did you catch him?"
Lowe's face froze, and he said unnaturally, "We've only just begun."
Lin Qi looked at his face, which was as dirty as a cat, and thought that this was not the same as it was at the beginning. However, she was kind enough not to attack Luo Wei, "Then you guys continue, I'm going to herd cattle."
"Go ahead." Lowe waved at her, looking as if he couldn't wait for her to leave.
When Lin Qi walked more than ten meters away, a little boy couldn't help but say to Luo Wei, "You have a good relationship with her, why don't you let her help us catch mice? She is the best at catching mice."
Luo Wei shook his head, "You can't rely on others for everything. You have to be self-reliant and strong, and find your own way."
"But we can't catch any mice. We didn't catch any yesterday." The boy said depressedly, "All the mice were caught by the older children and adults. I want to eat meat. Don't you want to?"
Lowe swallowed and said, "I want to."
"Then call her back and ask her to help us catch a few." The boy encouraged Lowe.
The other children also looked at Lowe expectantly, "Yes, Lowe, ask her to help us catch a few. She is so good, it won't take her long to catch a few for us, and it won't interfere with her herding cattle."
Lowe hesitated.
"Lowei, if you don't call her, she will go away." The man urged anxiously.
Luo Wei gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to shout, "Lin Qi——"
Lin Qi turned her head, "What's wrong?"
Lowe opened his mouth and was about to speak when a huge eagle fell from the sky as fast as an arrow, landed behind Lowe and grabbed a child not far behind him.
The skinny and weak child, who looked no more than 20 pounds, was caught by the eagle's sharp claws. He was stunned and forgot to struggle.
Seeing the child about to be caught by the eagle, the older children suddenly reacted and shouted, "Help!"
Bang!
When the eagle flew to a height of two or three meters, it was hit in the abdomen by a stone flying from a distance. The force of the stone was so deep that it sank into the eagle's abdomen and remained inside.
The eagle screamed shrilly, staggered and fell to the ground, and at the same time, it let go of the child in its claws.
The child fell to the ground first, and the eagle followed closely behind the child and also fell down.
The child who fell to the ground seemed to finally come to his senses after being frightened and burst into tears.
"Xiao Ba, are you hurt?"
"Xiao Ba, are you hurt by the eagle's claws?"
"Xiao Ba, did you break your leg?"
"Xiao Ba, the eagle is dead. Come over and kick it. It will be your revenge!"
When Xiao Ba heard that the eagle was dead, he stopped crying immediately, wiped his tears and looked at the eagle. It was a very large eagle, with wings spread out, which were longer than his. It had a sharp beak, sharp claws, and even the feathers on its wings looked sharp.
It turns out that this is what the eagle that has been flying in the sky looks like.
"I won't kick it. It's meat. I can't waste food." Xiao Ba swallowed.
When the word meat was mentioned, the other children's eyes lit up. Yes, it was meat.
When Lin Qi came over, what she saw was the children staring at the eagle and drooling.
"Are you hurt from the fall?" Lin Qi asked Xiao Ba and hit him on the shoulder.
It was the first time that Xiao Ba was so close to Lin Qi. His face turned red with excitement. This guy was a master who could hunt wolves and wild boars. She even put her arm around his shoulder!
Lin Qi's ability moved around the child's body and found no bone damage. She withdrew her hand and said, "This eagle scared you. Now, I hand it over to you. You can do whatever you want with it."
"Can we roast it and eat it?" the children asked.
"Of course. Whether you want to roast, fry, boil or roast, it's up to you." Lin Qi said, "Okay, I'm going to herd the cattle. Be careful when you make a fire. Don't burn yourself or the mountain."
"Lin Qi, don't worry, we will be careful." The children responded happily.
Lin Qi nodded, stopped talking, turned and walked towards the herd of cattle.
"Xiao Ba, Lin Qi saved you just now. You and I are the same now. Our savior is Lin Qi." Luo Wei said seriously.
Xiao Ba nodded, "Don't worry, Luo Wei. If anyone says something bad about Lin Qi in the future, I will scold him."
"Let's roast the eagle first," suggested the other children.
"I want feathers from an eagle's wings to make a shuttlecock."
"I want it too. Then let's pluck the feathers from the eagle's wings and then burn the eagle in the fire."
"Lowei, did you bring salt?"
“I always carry it with me.”
"............"
The children had never grilled anything before, so they didn't have to control the heat, so the eagle was a little burnt. But they didn't mind it, and ate up all the burnt meat.
“This is the best barbecue I have ever eaten.”
"Me too."
"Will Lin Qi come to herd cattle tomorrow? An eagle can catch me tomorrow and let Lin Qi kill another eagle."
"You are too big. Even if the eagle catches you, you won't be able to fly. Let the eagle catch Xiao Ba. He is skinny."
"But...I'm a little scared."
"You have to be brave to eat meat. Don't you want to eat meat?"
“Yes.”
Before four o'clock, Lin Qi drove the cows back to the cowshed.
After leaving the cowshed, Lin Qi went to Xu Hexiao's house. Xu Hexiao was sewing insoles and making shoes by the fire. When he saw Lin Qi coming, he hurriedly got up, moved a stool for her, and poured hot water.
"How is Grandpa Xu doing today?" Lin Qi asked.
"I sleep and wake up from time to time, and I can only get out of bed and walk with help." Xu Hexiao said calmly. After a few days, his mood has calmed down a lot.
Lin Qi drank the hot water and said, "I'll go and give him a massage to see if I can help him get a good night's sleep."
"Then thank you for your help." The grandfather and grandson owed Lin Qi more and more, and it would not be too much for them to work like her slaves.
"Don't be so polite." Lin Qi warmed her hands over the fire, and only walked towards the room after her hands became a little hot.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Qi came out of the room.
"Grandpa is asleep." Lin Qi said.
Xu Hexiao wanted to say thank you, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and talked about other things, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare it."
"Let's make some chicken soup. Grandpa drinks the soup and we eat the chicken." Lin Qi said, standing up, "The hen is with me, I'll go get it."
"Then I'll boil some water." Xu Hexiao also stood up.
Before Lin Qi reached home, she saw Xiao Ba and his parents in front of the yard. Xiao Ba's mother was holding a basket with more than 20 eggs and some dried radishes in it.
"Lin Qi~" Xiao Ba waved at Lin Qi excitedly.
Luo Wei called Lin Qi by her name, and the other children followed suit, as if by calling Lin Qi's name, Lin Qi was one of them, with a sense of pride.
"You have no respect for your elders. You should call me sister." Xiaoba's mother patted Xiaoba's head and scolded her.
"You can call me anything you want. It doesn't matter." Lin Qi really didn't care. She had already died once. It was just a name. It was not worth her attention.
"Xiao Ba was caught by an eagle today, all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my Xiao Ba would have been dead. We really don't know how to repay you for saving his life. If you have anything in the future, as long as you ask, my husband and I will definitely not refuse." Xiao Ba's mother said earnestly.
Xiao Ba's father was a little dull, and he was so nervous that he quickly responded, "Yes, I won't refuse."
Lin Qi did not comment and invited them into the yard.
She accepted their gifts of thanks, delivered the things to the warehouse, and picked up a few handfuls of vegetables, two big sweet potatoes and taro from the warehouse and put them into the basket.
Seeing her coming out of the warehouse with a basket full of things, Xiao Ba's mother quickly declined, "We are here to thank you, how can we take your things?"
"The vegetables were just picked from the garden, and the sweet potatoes and taro were found in the mountains. You can eat them. They are not expensive, so don't be polite." Lin Qi put the basket in front of Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba looked at the sweet potatoes and taro that were bigger than his head and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "What a big sweet potato! What a big taro!"
"They are not only big, but also very delicious. You can try them when you go back tonight." Lin Qi said.
"Lin Qi said it's delicious, so it must be delicious. Mom, I'll eat this big sweet potato tonight." Xiao Ba raised his head and looked at his mother with longing.
Xiao Ba's mother blushed and said embarrassedly, "Then we will shamelessly accept it."
When Jian Yitong came over with the package, he met Xiao Ba and the other two at the door.
Jian Tongyi stepped aside and waited for Xiao Ba and his parents to pass before he went in.
"I heard that you killed an eagle today." Jane said as soon as she entered the door.
