Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 285 - 284: Hello, My Name is Lin Nianjiu

Chapter 285: Chapter 284: Hello, My Name is Lin Nianjiu

With Public Security on site, the chaos was quickly stabilized.

The villagers, who looked as pitiful as plague-stricken pigs, no longer clamored for pork; they sighed and dispersed, heads drooping.

They scattered, and unsurprisingly, Su Yuncheng and Lin Nianhe were spotted behind the wall.

Facing those odd stares, Lin Nianhe silently moved closer behind Su Yuncheng.

"Whose girl is this?"

"She’s from town, right? Doesn’t look like a local."

"Is she a new Educated youth?"

"Huh? Hehehe..."

Su Yuncheng didn’t speak, just drew his gun and checked the magazine.

The crowd around them scattered with a whoosh, running even faster than before.

Su Yuncheng holstered his gun, turned his head, and said in a low voice to Lin Nianhe, "Don’t come here anymore."

"Mhm, Uncle Team Leader already told us not to come here, but I was so busy today I forgot," Lin Nianhe nodded, shaking her aching legs, "I’ll have to take a detour back to the main road to get back to the village. I can’t let Uncle Team Leader see me coming back from this direction, otherwise he’ll definitely..."

"I’ll kick your ass!"

Lin Nianhe shuddered and looked up at the sky: "Ah, I think I heard the voice of my most beloved Uncle Team Leader."

"You little rascal, dare to go anywhere!"

"Ah-ah, it really does sound like Uncle Team Leader’s voice. It must be because I miss him so much, our leader who sheds blood and sweat for our fellow villagers and has dedicated his heart and hair."

"Lin Nianhe!"

Lin Nianhe’s head was slapped, forcing her to look down and lock eyes with the grinding teeth of Li Dahe.

Lin Nianhe was silent for a second, then asked, "Comrade, hello, who might you be? Do we know each other?"

Li Dahe: "..."

"Did you just call ’Lin Nianhe’? But my name is Lin Nianjiu; you might have mistaken me for someone else."

Li Dahe: "..."

Lin Nianhe silently moved off the car and squirmed over to Su Yuncheng’s other side.

Her eyes desperately seeking help from Su Yuncheng clearly meant – Save me!

Su Yuncheng rarely saw Lin Nianhe looking so cowed; his lips slightly pursed, his eyes brimming with mirth.

In front of Su Yuncheng, Li Dahe reaching the limit of slapping Lin Nianhe was the most he could do.

He wanted Lin Nianhe to leave quickly, but looking around, he didn’t feel at ease letting her go alone.

Yet, as he had come alone, he couldn’t spare the manpower to escort her.

Li Dahe could only point to the corner: "Stay put honestly, I’ll settle the score with you when we get back!"

Lin Nianhe saw that Li Dahe had no further plan to kick her, and she didn’t bring up the "Lin Nianjiu" matter again, obediently "oh"ed and squatted in the corner.

She bumped into an acquaintance in the corner.

Wu Genmao waved his plaster-bound left arm at her: "Teacher Lin, you’re here too."

Lin Nianhe asked him, "Did only three pigs in your village die? No one else ate them, right?"

Wu Genmao decisively said, "No way, they were watching closely. Right after those pigs died in the morning, those in white coats wouldn’t let anyone into the pigsty."

"That’s good," Lin Nianhe breathed a sigh of relief, reminding him, "Don’t be foolish, eating plague pigs can really kill."

Wu Genmao took Lin Nianhe’s words to heart, nodding repeatedly: "Don’t worry, Teacher Lin, I saw what that pig looked like earlier, even dogs wouldn’t eat it."

Lin Nianhe was surprised: "Your arm... did you squeeze in there too?"

"How could that be? I have a plaster cast, how could I squeeze in?"

"Then how did you see?"

"I was sitting on the wall looking."

Wu Genmao pursed his lips towards the wall in front of him, "I only came down after seeing the Public Security comrades arrive."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Because his limb was plastered and he couldn’t squeeze into the crowd, he sat on the wall instead.

Such a causal relationship is really touching!

Lin Nianhe didn’t want to talk anymore, leaning against the wall, she listened attentively to the noises outside.

Li Dahe came here mainly to see what the swine fever looked like, even though the pigs at Ten Miles Team were still doing fine, he was still worried.

Li Dahe took a flashlight to the pigsty and looked carefully. After coming out, he felt both disgusted and heartbroken.

Disgusted because the living pigs didn’t look much better than the dead ones, and heartbroken for the pigs nonetheless.

Li Dahe sucking on his cigarette, went to Cao Manfu with furrowed brows, and asked him, "What should we do now?"

Cao Manfu had bloodshot eyes, he looked up at Li Dahe and countered as if he had lost his soul, "What can I do?"

Li Dahe breathed slightly heavily, wanting to say something but could not utter a word.

Indeed, what could be done?

He didn’t know what could be done either.

Li Dahe pondered for a long time, and could only say, "At least the people are alright, and the crops this year aren’t bad, the harvest shouldn’t be too different."

Cao Manfu rubbed his face vigorously, and grunted dully in response.

With Victory Team having such a small workforce, how much could a good year matter to them?

The whole village was relying on these few pigs to add to their meals, yet the pigs were disappointing.

Seeing Cao Manfu with a look like he was about to cry, Li Dahe felt that standing there was akin to stabbing a knife into Cao Manfu’s heart, so he took his pipe and left quietly.

Upon returning to where the little brats were kept, Li Dahe looked at the four squatting in the corner of the wall, quite confused.

He had only sent one over! What was the deal with the other three?

Xie Yufei looked at Li Dahe with a grin, "Uncle, can I go to your team for a meal?"

Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian nodded along, "Yeah, for a meal."

Li Dahe: "..."

What was this? Asking him for a storage fee?

Li Dahe was not about to spend such unjust money, he pointed at Lin Nianhe, "Go to her if you want a meal."

"Let’s go, let’s go home. It’s a rare day off, we’ll go fishing in the afternoon!"

Lin Nianhe glanced at Li Dahe and continued, "Catch a few more fish to share with the villagers, in preparation for the autumn harvest!"

Li Dahe looked at her and snorted coldly.

Did she really think this was a matter of a few fish?

Indeed, this wasn’t just about a few fish.

That night, Lin Nianhe was awakened by a pig-slaughtering-like scream for the second time in her sleep.

Hearing the rustling noise by the courtyard wall, she yawned, put on her thick coat, and then opened the door.

This time was different from last time; the first to show wasn’t Mu Tou and his six brothers, but the closer Sister Lan.

"Xiao Lan! Come back fast!" Wang Shumei ran out after her, trying to grab Wen Lan but only touched the corner of her clothes.

Wen Lan casually picked up the axe at the corner of the wall, pointing straight at a few shadows under the wall, it was unclear whether it was out of fear or excitement that her hand slipped, Sister Lan swung the axe that spun out and stuck into the ground with a swish.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

When Mu Tou and his brothers arrived, the several dark figures lying on the ground did not dare to move, afraid that taking an extra breath might get their heads chopped off by the axe-falling-from-the-sky technique.

Sun Guanghui glanced at the heap of dark figures under the wall, feeling the scene was all too familiar.

He furrowed his brows at Wang Shumei and scolded quietly, "Why would a girl like you run out here? Get back inside!"

Wang Shumei: "...?"

She looked at the other seven flowers of the Educated Youth Corps in the backyard, feeling fortunate that in this moment of crisis, the focus was not on her.
