Shen Banxia looked at the dead wild boar and asked, "Do you want me to help you?"
Zhou Mingqian nodded. "I know a hidden cave where I keep some things, like water," he said, pointing to the bloodstains on Shen Banxia's face.
"Alright, you lead the way," he said, and then started dragging the wild boar by one leg.
Zhou Mingqian looked at her in surprise, "Just leave like that?" This is a wild boar weighing about 200 pounds.
"Otherwise what?" He looked Zhou Mingqian up and down with disdain. Could he really expect anything from him?
Zhou Mingqian subconsciously touched his nose. He was sure he wasn't mistaken; he was being disliked.
Zhou Mingqian led the way with a limp, while Shen Banxia easily dragged the wild boar behind them, creating a stark contrast.
Once we arrived at the cave, the entrance was small and concealed, so it would have been difficult to find if we hadn't specifically come looking for it.
Once inside, Shen Banxia discovered that they had indeed prepared quite a lot. They had everything, including water buckets, iron pots, and cabinets. If she wasn't mistaken, they even had all the seasonings.
Shen Banxia quickly washed her face. As for her clothes, since she was wearing black, she decided to leave it as is for now.
"Alright, you can pack up yourself. I'm going down the mountain now."
Zhou Mingqian opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her to stay, but if those gossipy women saw them alone, who knows what kind of nonsense they would say.
Shen Banxia didn't encounter many people along the way, but when she arrived at the educated youth settlement, she was stopped by Xu Wenzhu.
She covered her nose, looking disgusted, "What have you been doing? Why do you smell so bloody and stinky?"
"None of your business," Shen Banxia just wanted to wash up and change her dirty clothes quickly. Xu Wenzhu was still nagging here, so of course she had a nice look on her face.
"You, you're so vulgar! What are you doing that you're ashamed of?" Xu Wenzhu was starting to regret stopping her.
Shen Banxia looked at her, seemingly lost in thought, and leaned closer, giving her a wicked smile. "Guess what I was doing and why I'm covered in blood? Hehe, some things just have to be treated like animals, so you have to deal with them, right?" She felt she wasn't wrong; wasn't that wild boar an animal?
Xu Wenzhu subconsciously took two steps back, "You, you, you..."
Thinking of that guess, and remembering that he had offended Shen Banxia, his face turned pale instantly. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing Xu Wenzhu's frightened expression, Shen Banxia finally felt a little better; the smell of blood was indeed quite unpleasant.
After she finished washing up, she realized that the people at the educated youth settlement were whispering amongst themselves, and they had already moved away from her before she could even get close.
Xu Wenzhu, in particular, used to try to provoke him all the time, but now she practically wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
Shen Banxia was happy to have some peace and quiet.
But when she got to work, she realized that things had gone terribly wrong.
Many people avoided her like the plague, and when she heard what Aunt Zhu had to say, Shen Banxia fell silent.
Is this really that absurd? He actually thinks he killed someone?
Even the captain came to find her, so Shen Banxia had no choice but to explain that she was just trying to scare Xu Wenzhu, since she was always so sharp-tongued. As for the smell of blood, that was just from when she was killing the fish.
As for why she said that, the fish in the river in Zhoujiazhuang are almost spirits; they're impossible to catch.
The villagers all tacitly agree that as long as you have the ability to catch them, they will never say anything about poaching someone's partner.
The captain was speechless for a long time before finally finding his voice, "If you don't know how to kill fish, you can ask someone else for help, right?"
Shen Banxia smiled sheepishly, "I just didn't want to trouble others."
“Then you’d better be careful in the future, and don’t cause any more of these kinds of trouble. I was almost ready to report it to the police,” the brigade leader said, feeling that none of these educated youths were easy to deal with.
I used to think that this educated youth, Shen, was a troublemaker, but now it seems he's quite a handful.
Shen Banxia promised to be more careful with her words in the future. She hadn't expected Xu Wenzhu to be such a loudmouth.
Because of this, Captain Zhou specifically mentioned it to everyone during his break.
Some people are wise after the event, saying things like, "I knew it was impossible. Those young educated youths were fair-skinned and delicate; it's obvious someone was jealous."
"Pah! Who is it that doesn't even dare to look at Shen Zhiqing?"
"That's right, I thought Shen Zhiqing was really that bold."
Shen Banxia was speechless. She really needed to watch her mouth next time.
However, it wasn't without its gains; with this opportunity, the fish from the surprise gift package could now be taken out openly and legitimately.
Zhou Mingqian, upon hearing about this, was quite annoyed, feeling it was all because of him.
When Zhou Mingqian arrived, Shen Banxia was surprised by his speed; he acted so quickly.
"Why did you give me all of it? We agreed to give you half."
Zhou Mingqian refused to accept the money, saying, "I haven't even repaid the life-saving grace yet. If I were to accept money from you, would I still be human?"
Shen Banxia did not force her.
When they returned to the educated youth settlement, Jian Sufeng pulled Shen Banxia aside with a mysterious look on her face and said, "I have something to tell you. I've noticed that Zhou Mingjiao seems to have ill intentions towards you. After all, she's the daughter of the brigade leader, so you should be careful."
Shen Banxia nodded. She didn't want to comment too much on Jian Sufeng; she was a typical opportunist.
Perhaps sensing Shen Banxia's indifference, Jian Sufeng gave an awkward smile.
She didn't expect it either, did she? Xu Wenzhu made such a confident promise, and she still had money saved up, not wanting it to be gone so soon. Who would have thought it was all a misunderstanding?
Ultimately, it's all Xu Wenzhu's fault.
Speaking of Xu Wenzhu, she has returned to her original state after the brigade leader's explanation.
However, she dared not cause trouble for Shen Banxia. She always felt that Shen Banxia looked very scary that day, perhaps it was just because they hadn't noticed.
If she doesn't dare to provoke Shen Banxia, wouldn't she dare to provoke Zhou Mingjiao? That bitch, all she does is pester Brother Wenze, claiming it's about discussing academic matters.
Pshaw.
She had done this before, but she just didn't want to torture herself anymore.
Right now, Zhou Mingjiao has actually used the same tricks she used before. Isn't that disgusting?
But what should we do?
She discovered that Wenze hated her fighting and cursing like a shrew.
Suddenly, Xu Wenzhu remembered that Shen Banxia was quite capable. Why not ask her for advice?
He quickly shook his head, feeling very conflicted.
Shen Banxia knew nothing of that; she made a simple fishing rod herself and went to the ditch.
Haha, big fish, your big sister is coming to eat you!
