Chapter 21 - 21

Chapter 21 Finding People" Yin Jiao... Li Zhaodi... Where are you?"" Yin Jiao …"" Li Zhaodi …heard a response."The group lit torches and shouted from the outer edge of the mountain, but dared not venture deeper.The Brigade Leader's face was grim. Could he have gone deep into the mountains? If something happened to him, how could he take responsibility?Everyone looked unwell. It was already dark, and the mountain was dangerous enough. They were all reluctant to search further in, as no one wanted to risk their lives."What do we do? We can't find the Brigade Leader."Yun Ting was also secretly using her Supernatural Ability to sense things. Suddenly, she paused. These two people had actually run into the deep mountains, and Yun Ting also sensed that there were quite a few wild boars nearby." Brigade Leader, I think I heard some noise coming from that direction. Should we go in and take a look? It seems like Yin Jiao ran in that direction today."Yun Ting could only say this; she couldn't say it directly!Brigade Leader frowned as he looked at the dark forest, hesitating. This was deep in the mountains, and if they went in and encountered wild animals, the consequences would be unimaginable. But he couldn't just abandon the two educated youths.Seeing the villagers' dissatisfaction, Zhang Weispoke first: " Brigade Leader, how about we, the Educational Youth, go in and take a look?""Captain…" Zhao Weidong called out reluctantly.Zhao Weidong cursed Zhang Wei inwardly. Why was he sticking his neck out? Even though he was in charge of the Educated Youth Point, he didn't need to be on the front lines! How stupid!" Zhao Weidong, we at Educated Youth are one. Now that something has happened to Educated Youth, we have a responsibility.""Then the primary responsibility doesn't lie with us. They're all new educated youth living in the same compound; it's their fault for only realizing they weren't back so late, hmph..."He already had some resentment towards Yun Ting, who always disrespected him and looked down on him."Alright, stop arguing. Let's all go in together. It's safer with more people," the Brigade Leaderreprimanded them.They cautiously made their way inside, to Lu Jiayan Zhou Yang and Yan Zheng ran ahead to the path they had come from, tapping and knocking to prevent snakes from lurking in the grass. Everyone focused their attention on their surroundings and where they were stepping.Not long after we went inside, we heard sounds coming from inside."Ah…help…" A sharp female voice rang out." Brigade Leader, that sounds like Yin Jiao's voice. There are also quite a few wild boars. We need to be careful…" Yun Ting warned."How do you know there are a lot of wild boars?" a villager asked, puzzled, since they hadn't heard any wild boar sounds."Oh, my hearing is better," Yun Ting said casually."Everyone, be careful!""Ah... Help... Help..." A dark figure rushed out." Yin Jiao, where is Li Zhaodi?" Yang Qingqingasked, pulling her aside.Yin Jiao seemed to have just come to her senses and was startled to see so many people."I'm asking you a question. Where is Li Zhaodi?"Yin Jiao's guilty gaze darted away. "She... I didn't know. There were wild boars, and we... got separated..."Yin Jiao was clearly guilty, but everyone knew that the most urgent thing now was to find Li Zhaodi.When they arrived, Li Zhaodi was covered in blood and still running desperately."Quick, everyone grab your weapons, let's save them..."A hunter in the village raised his rifle and fired a shot that echoed through the forest. However, the wild boars, with their thick hides, were only enraged by the shot. The lead boar let out a deafening roar, lowered its head, raised its sharp tusks, and charged madly towards the group. The villagers and Educated Youth were thrown into chaos. Some raised their hoes to try and defend themselves, while others retreated in panic. Screams and shouts filled the air.Lu Jiayan and Zhou Yang rushed forward with sickles. They were both from the compound and were skilled in martial arts; at this moment, they could only offer as much help as possible.Li Hongxia, along with several female educated youths, helped Li Zhaodi and hid behind a tree, urging them not to cause any trouble.Li Zhaodi was like a puppet on strings, completely unresponsive. But when she saw Yin Jiao, her eyes finally lit up. She looked at Yin Jiao, her hatred almost bursting forth. Although it was dark and Yin Jiao couldn't see Li Zhaodi's eyes clearly, she could still sense it and felt a pang of guilt and fear.Li Zhaodi recalled the scene of Yin Jiao pushing her out to block the wild boar. She closed her eyes, feeling the pain in her legs. Was she probably crippled?The group, armed with hoes, shovels, sickles, and all sorts of tools, worked together to fight the wild boar. But the wild boar was ferocious and difficult to deal with, and none of them had any experience. Several villagers and maleeducated youths were injured." Educated Youth Yun, be careful..."" Yun Ting …" Yang Qingqing called out anxiously.A wild boar suddenly charged at Yun Ting. Yun Ting nimbly dodged the boar, but suddenly, with a "bang," the boar crashed into a tree and collapsed unconscious...Ah! This…"Stop standing there, hurry up and finish them off! There are still three more here!" Brigade Leader reminded everyone.Li Defu quickly grabbed his machete and slashed the wild boar's neck twice." Yun Ting, are you alright?" Yang Qingqingquickly went up to him and asked with concern."It's alright..."On the other side, the remaining three wild boars, perhaps provoked by the killing of their companion, charged wildly and recklessly.Lu Jiayan Zhou Yang, Yan Zheng, the hunters, and others were fighting against the wild boar. They were all carrying weapons and had bloodstains on their faces and bodies, it was unclear whether it was their own or that of the wild boar.The three wild boars were also badly injured, and now it could be said that both sides were severely wounded. Yun Ting thought that this stalemate could not continue.The wild boar had suddenly charged at her, probably because of the spiritual spring water. She looked around and an idea came to her. She got some spiritual spring water, sprinkled it on her hands, and kept her eyes fixed on the three wild boars…Sure enough, the three wild beasts suddenly stopped, their nostrils flaring violently, and their turbid eyes gleaming with greed."Lure the wild boars to this tree!" Yun Tingfeigned a stumble, staggering towards the tree. The three wild boars seemed to be drawn by invisible threads, panting as they chased after the faint, sweet fragrance. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a protruding burl on the tree trunk, and without making a sound, she made a hand seal, causing vines hidden in her sleeve to quietly grow." Educated Youth Yun, watch out! Quick, go help…"Everyone was extremely anxious when they saw the wild boar suddenly go berserk and headtowards Yun Ting again.Just as the wild boar herd was about to pounce,Yun Ting darted away like a cat, clinging to the tree trunk. The leading boar, unable to stop in time, crashed into the tree with a thud, causing the bark to flake off.The other two, however, were entangled in the hooves by the suddenly growing vines, rolling and struggling on the ground. Taking advantage of the situation, the villagers raised their torches and approached, startling the wild boars into breaking free of the vines and fleeing in panic. In their haste, one of them crashed into a tree trunk and lost consciousness." Educated Youth Yun, your reaction was too quick!" Li Defu gave a thumbs up."I was lucky, otherwise, you would probably have to carry me down by now..." She secretly rubbed her burning fingertips, looking at the forest that had returned to peace in the night. The vines had already silently retreated back into the soil, as if they had never existed."Pah, pah, pah… You can't just say things like 'Educated Youth Yun'."
