Chapter 385: Chapter 384: The Discordant Method of Confronting Wild Boars

When they found a bunch of scattered acorns under the wall and at the entrance of the Educated Youth Corps, Lin Nianhe said subconsciously, "I haven’t done anything recently to anger anyone or make any enemies, so where did these opponents come from?"

Su Yuncheng: "Could it not be aimed at someone else?"

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Right, couldn’t it be aimed at someone else? Couldn’t it be that Xie Yufei was too arrogant and offended people?

Thinking of Xie Yufei, Lin Nianhe felt he wasn’t worth someone going to such lengths to target.

She coughed twice and tentatively suggested, "Shall we go look somewhere else?"

The Educated Youth Corps was close to the foot of the mountain; if they were to search along the foot, it would definitely start there.

Su Yuncheng nodded his head, "Let’s go."

"Hey, wait!" Lin Nianhe quickly grabbed his arm, "The village is so big, just the two of us searching?"

"Feng Wei is injured." Su Yuncheng said with an apologetic look, "Your vision and hearing are both very good, I need your help."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Sure enough, she really had no secrets in front of him.

She could only nod her head: "Then let’s go."

They hadn’t gone far when they saw Bai Xiaojun and his friends rolling around, having a snowball fight. His new clothes... were beyond saving.

Lin Nianhe calculated with her fingers; this kid was definitely getting a beating today.

"Teacher Lin!"

A child called out.

Then—

A bunch of snowballs accompanied by laughter flew towards Lin Nianhe.

"Hey? Are you guys revolting?"

Lin Nianhe swiftly stepped behind Su Yuncheng, not forgetting to justify her betrayal: "Brother Yuncheng, you take the front for a moment, I’ll organize the counterattack immediately!"

Su Yuncheng: "..."

He actually preferred a tactical retreat.

After brushing off the first wave of snowballs, Su Yuncheng asked Lin Nianhe, "Have you organized it yet?"

"Almost!"

Not long after Lin Nianhe spoke, she stood up with a large snowball the size of a head in her hands.

Seeing the big snowball in Lin Nianhe’s hand, the scout troops let out an exaggerated "ao" and scurried around looking for cover with their short legs.

Su Yuncheng also paused for a moment seeing the "giant cannonball" she was holding.

She...

She was really quick at making snowballs, worthy of her.

Lin Nianhe aimed at the ground and threw the snowball; it was loosely packed to begin with, and it scattered partially in flight. When it hit the ground, it disintegrated immediately, with only the splashed parts reaching a few of the slower kids on the legs.

"Ow! Teacher Lin is so awesome!"

"Run, hahaha..."

The children’s laughter was clear and pleasant. Lin Nianhe casually grabbed some snow, formed a small snowball, and tossed it around in her hand: "Don’t run, come here, I need to talk to you!"

The kids laughed thinking of running away, but Lin Nianhe randomly picked a lucky child and smacked the snowball on his butt.

"Come here quick, or else I’ll take you all on myself!" Lin Nianhe smiled and made another snowball, "Don’t worry, I won’t give you extra homework."

Hearing her say that, the children confidently ran over.

"What do you want to do?" asked Su Yuncheng.

"You understand the criminal; I understand the children."

Lin Nianhe said with a light smile, as she bent down to brush the snow off a few snowman-like little bastards and said, "Can you guys do me a favor?"

"Okay!"

Lin Nianhe straightened the crooked hats on several kids’ heads: "Apart from the Educated Youth Corps area, there are some acorns on the ground around the village. Help me find them—you don’t need to bring them back, just tell me where they are, and I’ll give you candy. I’ll wait for you right here."

"Okay!"

As soon as the children heard there was candy in the deal, they scattered in all directions on their little legs.

Lin Nianhe called out from behind: "Run slowly! Don’t fall!"

She watched them run off with a smile, then turned to Su Yuncheng and said, "Major Su, it’s important to tap into the power of the people."

"They’re just little kids, can they really do it?" Major Su was somewhat skeptical.

"For searching tasks, besides fortune-tellers, children are the most skilled," Lin Nianhe said cheerfully. "Since there are no fortune-tellers, they’re the best we’ve got."

"Really..."

"Teacher Lin! I found them, I found them!"

Before Su Yuncheng could finish his sentence, a child ran back.

The child’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Nianhe: "I found some by Captain’s house, seventeen of them!"

Lin Nianhe gave Su Yuncheng a glance as if to say: See, I told you so!

She ruffled the little boy’s hair and, recalling he had a sister at home, pulled out four White Rabbit candies from her military coat pocket for him: "Good job, now go on, take these home and give two to your sister."

"Thank you, Teacher Lin!" The child held the candies and ran off joyfully.

Without waiting for Su Yuncheng to speak, Lin Nianhe said: "I only brought these four pieces. You wait here for them, I’ll go get more candy."

She actually wanted to stay with Su Yuncheng a bit longer, but if she pulled dozen of candies out of her coat pocket, the kids would no longer need to doubt Major Su; they’d treat her pocket like a never-ending candy jar.

Su Yuncheng nodded: "Alright, I’ll tell them to look for you at the Educated Youth Corps."

"Okay."

Lin Nianhe’s understanding of children wasn’t wrong. In less than fifteen minutes, the kids had turned the village upside down.

The price Lin Nianhe paid was two and a half pounds of White Rabbit milk candies.

Back in Lin Nianhe’s cottage, Su Yuncheng sipped hot water and said: "There are a large number of acorns at the Educated Youth Corps, the Team Leader’s house, Director Wang’s house, Accountant Zhao’s house, and the village school. And over a dozen households found just a few."

Acorns don’t taste good; villagers only harvest them to feed pigs, and the gathered acorns are stored in the pigsty’s warehouse. So, their sudden appearance all over the village was self-explanatory.

Chewing on a candy, Lin Nianhe murmured the names of those dozen households: "These families probably didn’t do it on purpose, likely they fell on the way. They all live along the usual routes."

"The target is pretty clear." Su Yuncheng’s gaze turned cold.

"Are they aiming for the village officials?" Lin Nianhe frowned. "But why include the village school and the Educated Youth Corps?"

After a moment of silence, Su Yuncheng asked her: "Are you sure you haven’t offended anyone recently?"

Lin Nianhe: "I’ll give you a chance to rephrase that."

"Cough, cough," Su Yuncheng cleared his throat, "It’s Fourth Sie."

"Hmph."

With a light hum, Lin Nianhe fell silent for a moment, then suddenly furrowed her brows: "Brother Yuncheng, could there also be wild boars following the acorns into the village? There’s such a big mountain; surely there’s not just one family of wild boars?"

"It’s a possibility," said Su Yuncheng. "What do you think we should do?"

"How about we raise a natural predator of wild boars as the village guardian beast?" Lin Nianhe playfully suggested. "What’s a natural predator of boars?"

"Tigers, wolves, bears... there are quite a few."

"Oh, that does sound a bit troublesome... Do you think the provincial city zoo’s Northeast tiger could be loaned to us for a few years?"

"..."

"Or maybe ask if there’s a tiger interested in working for our village?"

"..."

"I personally will pay its salary, two and a half a month! Lodging included but not food!"

"..."

Whether the tiger would agree, who knows, but surely the villagers wouldn’t.
