Chapter 69 Going for a Walk
Learn from your mistakes; even the most delicious food should not be enjoyed without moderation.
Lin Jingshu thought Yun Shu was full from eating rice mixed with crayfish broth, but Yun Shu, who had also shown off two pig's trotters after the meal, didn't dare to say a word.
After breakfast, the group went for a stroll outside the educated youth settlement and practiced their bicycles. There wasn't much to do anyway; after the last mishap while sweeping the mountain, the brigade leader had only one thought for the second time: nothing could go wrong.
The bear that ate the man last time has been killed, but there are still wolves and tigers in the mountains, so the brigade leader has been quite worried these past few days. He has taken his son, who is the militia captain, and the team's old hunter to the mountains several times to try and find out where the tigers are.
Fortunately, the old hunter was helpful and roughly determined the tiger family's range of movement, which gave the captain a clue.
So when Yun Shu and her friends went out for a walk today, they ran into the captain. He finally smiled and kept praising Yun Shu's bicycle, saying that when his daughter grows up, he will buy her one as a dowry.
After a few words of conversation and laughter, the captain instructed Yun Shu to keep an eye on the weather forecast for the next couple of days, saying that they would go up the mountain after it rained. Yun Shu nodded to indicate that she understood.
……
After passing the brigade leader's house, we walked a little further and arrived at Xie Guolei's house. His father had already brought him home from the county hospital, and he was recuperating at home. After all, Xie Guolei's family wasn't wealthy, and the expenses at the hospital were simply too much for this lazy family to bear.
Moreover, Xie Guolei's illness was in his head, and doctors in small county towns at that time did not have the ability to perform craniotomy. With no better options, Xie Lao Er could only take his mentally challenged son home and then painstakingly care for his disabled and helpless son.
As they passed by Xie Lao Er's house, the group bumped into Xie Lao Er, who was going out to get water. The two groups made eye contact. Xie Lao Er looked at Yun Shu, first frowning subconsciously, then immediately reacting and forcing a stiff smile onto his blank face.
The smile didn't reach her eyes, but it sent a chill down Yun Shu's spine.
After all, it's obvious that Xie Guolei and his mother Zhang Cuihua's scheme couldn't have been kept secret from the head of the family, who wielded considerable influence. Their son, who rarely suffered losses due to his street-smart background, had ended up like this after failing to outmaneuver a mere educated youth; it's clear there's something fishy going on.
However, he had no evidence to support this claim.
The two people with Xiao Lei are dead, and there are no witnesses. After investigating the scene, the police station only said it was an accident, leaving him with no choice but to accept it. Was he really going to expose his family's shameful secrets to prove that Xie Yunshu and her group of educated youth were not simple, thus inflicting heavy losses on both sides?
Even if we can find out whether his son was killed by these educated youths, just the fact that these educated youths could cause two deaths over a mere verbal dispute shows they are not easy to deal with.
If someone were to lift a finger and turn it into a false accusation, digging up all the things his son had done in the past, then what awaits the father and son will not be a family reunion a year later, but an unavoidable family destruction and death.
Therefore, without thorough preparation, Xie Lao Er did not have the courage to break ties with Yun Shu and the others.
So he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger for the time being, keeping his hatred and resentment in his heart.
Of course, Yun Shu, the person involved, and the three male educated youths who were the instigators of Xie Guolei's downfall, would not simply believe that the matter was over. They were also wary of Xie Lao Er, that cunning old fox.
This time, their eyes met and they understood each other's thoughts. Although they both wanted to kill each other to eliminate any future troubles, for now, they decided to maintain a facade of calm.
……
Xie Lao Er didn't intentionally pour water on Yun Shu and the others. He properly poured the water on the road, nodded to Yun Shu and the others, and then turned back.
Yun Shu looked at Xie Lao Er's somewhat hunched figure and mentally activated her God's-eye view to observe his and Xie Guo Lei's status panels. The system displayed the two's status; Xie Lao Er's hatred level was at its peak since Yun Shu transmigrated, even rivaling her old rival Yang Yue.
On the contrary, Xie Guolei, due to a problem with his brain, now has an IQ and mind similar to that of a child. He has forgotten what he did with his mother, and he doesn't remember being beaten up before being bitten by a snake, being frightened by a bear eating people, or being hung upside down in a tree for too long, causing his head to become congested with blood, which is why he is like this. Therefore, his causal connection with Yun Shu has become much weaker.
The system also determined that Xie Guolei's chances of recovering were even greater than the chance of his amputated leg growing back.
……
No one in the group commented on the little incident, and they continued walking. When they reached the small river in the middle of the group, a group of children carrying all sorts of 'tools' rushed up to them.
The leader of the group was a young boy named Xiaohuzi, who was eight years old. He was tall and thin, with a sallow complexion, clearly malnourished. However, among the children, he carried the heaviest bucket, which contained the most crayfish.
The children seemed quite convinced, following behind Xiao Huzi as they offered food to Yun Shu and her companion. Besides crayfish, there were also loach, crayfish, eels, and frogs.
Lin Jingshu, who had just traded crayfish with Xiaohuzi yesterday, was somewhat surprised. Xiaohuzi was unusually shy in front of the two young, beautiful, and cultured older sisters.
He scratched his head, pointed to the things in the hands of his group of underlings behind him, and explained to Yun Shu and the other person: "Lin Zhiqing changed a lot of these things yesterday. I was afraid you would get tired of them, so I thought I would have them catch some other things."
"These crayfish are just as good as this thing, and they have more meat. They're best steamed with eggs! There's also loach stewed with tofu, and spicy stir-fried frog legs!"
"Mainly... I was also thinking that if you, Lin Zhiqing, were willing, we could exchange for a couple more pieces of candy."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. The group of children behind Xiaohuzi looked nervous, as if they were afraid that Yunshu and the other person would not exchange candy with them.
Seeing this, Lin Jingshu whispered to her best friend, "I've never cooked loach or frog before, so I substituted crayfish yesterday. I didn't change it much, and... there weren't as many babies yesterday."
"What should we do then? Should we trade with them all? I don't dare to get those frogs, and loaches are out of the question too..." Yun Shu understood, but that didn't stop her from being scared. After all, these slippery-looking things could easily give her goosebumps.
Thinking back to her childhood in the countryside, she was a fearless little tyrant. She raised dogs and rabbits, fed chickens and ducks, herded geese, and caught everything from grasshoppers and dragonflies to loaches and tadpoles. So why has she become more timid as she's grown up?
