Chapter 288 Imminent Death
Chapter 288 Imminent Death
As for how to remind Uncle Lin, the village chief, to be careful about having such a "powerful" person in the village... perhaps they don't need to worry about that much.
Lin Chunyi thought that although Lin Yu'an was a child who was not even five years old, he had no problem describing the whole process of an event.
If he really can't answer, then it's not too late for them to remind him.
But Lin Lanshan is impatient and slow-witted.
She panicked when she thought about Lin Xiaomei's viciousness in the mountains. "That's right! What should we do? Should we go back and tell Ahua and Ashu to be wary of Lin Xiaomei?"
The two siblings are still so young, how could they understand the schemes and plots of these adults? They might even be sold out and still be foolishly helping the adults count the money.
Lin Chunyi grabbed her sister, who was turning to go back, and advised, "They've already driven their mule carts to town. There's no one in the house. What can you do if you go now? Are you just going to starve at the door?"
How could you be so stupid? The fact that Lin Yu'an returned alive will surely be discovered soon by Lin Xiaomei, who is always secretly asking around.
Whether Lin Yu'an reveals this matter or not, she won't dare to cause any more trouble for the next ten days or half a month.
Lin Xiaomei isn't stupid. She doesn't have that kind of extraordinary ability, yet she's so audacious as to commit crimes repeatedly...
It's a testament to her strong mental fortitude that she didn't hide in her home in town, too terrified to go out!
Lin Lanshan suddenly realized: "Hey, what you said...it seems to make sense!"
"Ah Shu and Ah Hua were so young, yet they walked through several counties begging all the way to our county. Do you really think they relied entirely on the kindness of outsiders?"
"These brother and sister are probably much better at judging people than we are! Come on, don't worry too much. Are we still going hunting today? The day is almost over."
"Go ahead and try! We haven't encountered any along the way! Why are they so lazy in winter? They don't even come out to get some fresh air or wander around like we do..."
The two sisters followed the original path up the mountain, where they encountered Uncle Lin, Brother Zhengmin, Yang Yu, and several other young men in their twenties and thirties.
They were searching for Lin Yu'an in the mountains, all of them vigilant and serious. They were also carrying various self-defense weapons, such as bows and arrows, machetes, and hoes.
Upon seeing them from afar, the two sisters excitedly became "voyeurs" again. They hid behind a large tree, each showing only half their face.
Lin Chunyi raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that Brother Zhengyong hasn't sent the message yet."
Lin Lanshan said with a grin, "Of course, it can't be that fast. Zheng Yong has never liked martial arts since he was a child, so he definitely won't have the energy to climb mountains. He's probably still down there using both his hands and feet to climb the slope right now."
Then, while still complaining, "Where did everyone go? Why are they all walking so fast...", he climbed the mountain, panting heavily.
The thought of that scene made her laugh.
Lin Chunyi saw Yang Yu walking in one direction with three other people they didn't recognize. They returned after walking for almost the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, shaking their heads at Uncle Lin and saying they hadn't found them.
She then said, "But did you see that? Our apprentice, a perfectly respectable martial artist, is carrying a hoe as a weapon, tsk tsk~"
He used to have the air of a young master, but now he doesn't need to pretend anymore when he's in a crowd. Because apart from the little bit of good looks he still has, he really looks more and more like an old farmer, haha.
Lin Lanshan shrugged and said, "Maybe he's just used to it and finds it convenient, so he prefers using a hoe now?"
"Hahaha~ Likes using a hoe? Fighting? Only a genius with an abstract imagination like you could come up with that. Don't you ever think about what would happen if he ran into thugs and needed to fight..."
Everyone else wields knives and swords, unleashing a series of powerful and imposing slashes. Then he silently raises his hoe and digs the person to death like they're nothing but barren earth… Do you think that's reasonable?
Lin Chunyi covered her face, unable to imagine the scene.
Lin Lanshan imagined it in her mind for a moment, then thought, "Hmm, it seems a bit abstract."
So he said awkwardly, "Yeah, he's already lost big time in terms of momentum. Looks like it's time to find some time to upgrade his equipment!"
A hoe is certainly good for digging, but when you're going on a long trip, you can carry it on your shoulder and use it to dig people up when you need to fight...
It seems a bit improper.
"Alright, let's go. There's nothing to see here. The outer perimeter isn't too dangerous. There are so many of them, and two of them know a bit of martial arts. We can handle a small fight."
The surrounding area is usually inhabited by small creatures such as pheasants, rabbits, and wild deer; wild boars are not frequently seen.
They decided not to compete with the villagers for meat here, but to walk further in and see if they could find something bigger!
The two sisters didn't waste any time; they took a few detours and headed into the deep mountains.
The further in you go, the quieter and more deserted it becomes.
They first went back to the place where they found Lin Yu'an, dragged the cart that had been abandoned there, and then continued to wander around.
The two were focused on searching for traces of wild animals on the ground, completely unaware of the unusual sight above them.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
Suddenly, a noisy crowing—no, bird chirping!—came down from above them.
The two sisters looked up and exclaimed, "Wow, what a big flock! And they're even familiar birds!"
Lin Lanshan craned her neck, watching a flock of sparrows circling around her overhead, as if they were brewing something.
"Sis, look, something seems to have fallen down..."
With a silent thud, the object fell from the air to the ground, forming a white dot.
Lin Chunyi took a closer look, her pupils contracted slightly, and she was so shocked that she shouted in her dialect, "My God! Get out of here!"
Then, ignoring the cart, it quickly ran away from the circling range of the sparrows.
Lin Lanshan saw it too. She quickly covered her head and ran while shouting, "Damn it, these chubby little brats! They really hold grudges!"
As soon as the two people got away, that small patch of ground was covered with those white dots.
The sparrows, seeing their revenge had failed, chirped and flew away. They weren't stupid; revenge had to be timed correctly!
If they're spotted, they have to run away quickly, otherwise, if they get caught, they're doomed.
Seeing this, Lin Lanshan chased after them a few steps back, yelling as she ran, "You bunch of brats, you're not that big, but you're really vengeful! Don't let me catch you all and turn you into skewers..."
She cursed a few times, until her mouth was dry, but she was still furious. She then pointed at them one by one with her index finger and continued cursing:
"You're all doomed! I just did some good deeds today, and you dare to shit on my head, you good man! You, you, you, all of you will lose a point of your good deeds!"
Knowing she was angrily yelling, the sparrows not only ignored her but also chirped happily and flew even faster.
Soon, they disappeared without a trace...
