Chapter 49 They are injured...

It is already October and the farm work in the fields has basically been completed. The villagers are no longer so busy and have time to get together and chat, talking about the gossip of neighboring families. For example, today's topic of conversation is about Lin Duo from the third branch of the old Lin family, Lin Shu from the village, and Wang Laizi.

As winter approaches, every household starts to bring firewood home. Every winter in Liulin Village, there is a time when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and firewood must be prepared in advance. Therefore, the strong laborers in every household will go up the mountain to chop firewood early after the busy farming season. Because the firewood is wet after the snow, it needs to be dried before use, otherwise there will be smoke when burning.

Early in the morning, Lin Zhou and his neighbor Zhang Wang pushed a trailer up the mountain. In addition to chopping wood, they also checked the traps they had dug before to see if there were any prey. They would take the small ones home to eat, and if they were lucky enough to find a big one, they could take it to the town to sell it, which would also be a source of income.

They didn't rush to chop wood, but went to look at a few traps first. Inspired by Lin Xin's last time, Lin Zhou also inserted a few sharpened branches upside down in the traps. As a result, he saw a dead half-grown wild boar in one of the traps, with its belly pierced by the branches.

The two happily took the wild boar out of the trap and found a rabbit that had been crushed to death under its body, which was an unexpected surprise.

"Brother Zhou, this wild boar is too small. Why don't we sell it in the village?" said Zhang Wang.

Lin Zhou looked at the size of the wild boar. It was indeed not big. After killing it and removing the hair, it weighed only about 100 pounds. It was not worth going to the town for it. Although it would be cheaper to sell it to the villagers, it would save trouble!
So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go check the last trap. If the thing is not big, we can sell it in the village."

"okay!"

After the discussion, the two continued to walk deeper into the woods. They dug the last trap near the mountains, where the chances of finding large prey were greater.

When they were almost there, Zhang Wang grabbed Lin Zhou's arm, and then he heard Zhang Wang's slightly trembling voice: "Brother Zhou, look over there, is that... a person?"

Lin Zhou was only paying attention to his feet and didn't pay attention to the front. After hearing what Zhang Wang said, he quickly looked up and saw that there seemed to be three people lying on the ground. One of them was closer to them, with his right hand stretched forward, making a crawling gesture, while the other two were curled up on the ground, and there seemed to be blood on their clothes.

"Okay, it seems like it really is a person. Let's go over and take a look." Seeing this visually shocking scene early in the morning, Lin Zhou felt a little scared.

"How about we go back and call for help!" Zhang Wang was quite scared and suggested hesitantly.

"Okay, then let's go back quickly!" Lin Zhou was just as scared. After saying that, the two of them didn't care about the traps anymore and ran towards the village frantically.

"Village, village chief, village chief, open the door quickly, something big has happened!" Zhang Wang ran to the village chief's house breathlessly and slammed the door loudly.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, stop knocking, or the door will break." Aunt Qian, the village chief's wife, said loudly as she quickened her pace to open the door.

"What happened?" The village chief, who was following his wife, asked Zhang Wang when he saw him holding his knees and gasping for breath at the door.

"There are dead people on the mountain!"

"What? A dead person?" The village chief forgot to suck on the big pipe he had just put in his mouth, and asked with wide eyes. Aunt Qian was so scared that she grabbed the village chief's clothes on the back.

"Yes, there are three!"

"What? Where did you see it? Is it really a dead person?" The village chief's three sons also gathered around, and after hearing the news, they stared at Zhang Wang in disbelief.

"Don't ask anymore. Call a few people quickly and let Wangzi take them over to take a look. And Lao San, you go to the clan leader's house and tell him about this. Also call the old doctor, just in case. Go quickly!" The village chief hurriedly arranged.

"No, no need to go to the clan leader's house. Brother Zhou Zhou has gone there."

"That's fine, eldest brother. You ask the others to follow Wangzi up the mountain. Second and third brothers, you two go ask around in the village to see which family has fewer people. Go quickly!" After the village chief finished speaking, he walked towards the old patriarch's house, clutching his old pipe.

"The village chief is here, but my father is inside! I'm in a hurry to go out, so I won't entertain you." Upon arriving at the old patriarch's house, the village chief ran into Lin Jing, who was leaving with a few of his brothers. "Are you going into the mountains? Let these guys go with you to see what's going on." The village chief instructed Lin Jing and everyone else, "Be careful."

"We all know, you go in first!" Lin Jing nodded in agreement, then took his men to meet up with the village chief's eldest son, and the group walked up the mountain.

The people who came were all curious young men, and they all wanted to know what Lin Zhou and the others had seen. So after walking for a while, they started asking questions. As more people gathered around them, Lin Shu and Zhang Wang were not so scared anymore, and they recalled what they had seen and told everyone about it.

Now everyone realized that they were so scared that they ran back to the village just because they saw people, and they had no idea whether those people were dead or alive. The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and some people began to laugh and tease them about being timid.

A group of people were walking when they suddenly heard a woman's scream in front of them.

"A Zhou, Wangzi, the person you saw was a woman?" Lin Jing asked with a frown when he heard it. They were all a group of men.

"Well," they looked at each other and said embarrassedly, "We were so scared at the time that we didn't even go over to take a look."

"Brother Jing, what should we do now? Should we still go?" Lin Qi, a young man who had just gotten married, scratched his head and stopped hesitantly.

Lin Jing stood there and thought for a while, "Go back and call a few aunts over, and we'll go over and take a look first."

"Okay!" Lin Qi agreed happily and ran down the mountain. The guys behind him laughed at him for being afraid of his wife.

"Okay, stop making trouble and go over there to take a look. It would be terrible if someone really died." Lin Jing asked everyone not to waste time.

"There, I saw it." After walking for a while, Zhang Wang was about to say that it was just in front when he heard the village chief's eldest son Lin Yu shout loudly.

Everyone quickened their pace and walked a few steps forward, then saw a girl curled up under a big tree with her head in her hands, tightly clutching a bloody stone. In front of her were two men covered in blood, lying unconscious on the ground.

"Huh? Isn't this Lin Duo from Lin Lao San's family? Why is she here?"

"Oh, how could this person still be alive after so much blood was shed?"

"Oh my god, isn't this Lin Shu and Wang Laizi? When did these two get together?"

“They are so injured…”

In broad daylight, a group of grown men squeezed their thighs together, feeling a cool breeze blowing from their lower body all the way to the top of their heads. They all agreed that the injury was really too scary.

"Hurry up and see if the person is still alive!" Lin Jing pulled Lin Yu to the two of them and squatted down. He carefully put his hands under their noses to feel if there was still any breath.

"Huh! Fortunately, there is still breath!" Lin Yu withdrew his hand and let out a long sigh.

"Don't just stand there, let's make two stretchers and get the people down the mountain first!" Lin Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to ask everyone to find a way to get the people down.

 I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day, and may all lovers finally get married!
