Chapter 194: Educating Lin Qi

"Master, that old man and Lin Daniu are plotting to harm you." Little Green was still wrapped around Lin Yuelan's wrist in the form of a jade bracelet. His tender yellow bud bent, and his two green leaves flapped. However, the color of his leaves had turned black, showing that he was angry. "They're so bad!"

The soldiers had not been in the village that long but rumors had already spread all over the village.

Little Green had a temper too. When he heard about these people's plots, he was furious. When Little Green was angry, it showed through nature. The wind howled, and the branches rustled. It was like the sky was angry.

Lin Yuelan carried a small basket on her back and stood on the largest tree branch on the summit of Mount Da Ao. Her sharp eyes looked in the direction of the Lin family Village. The wind blew her hair and clothes, causing them to flutter.

She had finished reading all the medical books given by Doctor Zhang a few days ago. Doctor Zhang was shocked. Then, he gave her his next test, which was to go up the mountain to pick 136 kinds of medicinal herbs. After all, to be a good doctor, Lin Yuelan had to know these herbs like the back of her hand. If this were anyone else, Doctor Zhang would be worried. After all, there were ferocious beasts on the mountain, and it was very dangerous. However, this was not a problem for Lin Yuelan.

Ever since Lin Yuelan had obtained divine power and the ability to communicate with animals, she came to Mount Da Ao daily and she would return without any issue.

Therefore, Doctor Zhang was not worried. In fact, he even said that Lin Yuelan was not allowed to come home until she had picked 136 types of herbs.

Lin Yuelan was quite speechless when she heard this. Her grandmaster was really at ease. Did it not cross her mind that she might still run into danger?

What if she suddenly lost affinity with the wild beasts, or what if she slipped and fell down the mountain?

Her grandmaster really had a lot of faith in her. Of course, the possibilities mentioned above would never happen. Therefore, three days ago, she carried a small basket on her back and went up the mountain.

On the first day, she found 66 herbs, according to the description in the book. On the second day, she only found 36 herbs. Today was the third day, and so far, she had only found 12 herbs.

In other words, she had only found 114 types of herbs in three days. She was still short of 22.

22 might look like a small number, but she had already searched the entire mountain and couldn't find any new herb. She was planning to move to another mountain.

......

However, at that moment, Little Green's friends sent the news of the latest update at Lin Family Village. It caused Lin Yuelan's face to go cold. 'These people will never sit idle. I've given them a chance, but since they won't take it, then they can't blame me.'

Lin Yuelan gently stroked Little Green's two green leaves and comforted him, "Little Green, those people are not worth our time and anger."

Little Green closed his two green leaves and then opened them again. His sharp bud nodded in Lin Yuelan's direction and said in his tender voice, "Yes, Master. You're right. We shouldn't stoop to their level." Little Green was a bit naive. Since his master told him not to get angry, then he won't. In short, everything his master said was correct.

Lin Yuelan stood on a tree branch. Her pink lips arced with sarcasm and playfulness.

This was her third day away from Lin Family Village, and people already wanted to harm her. These people really spared no effort to come up with evil plans and plots.

These people, including Lin Qi and Lin Daniu, thought that they had gotten her weakness and that she would submit to them. That was really funny.

The rumors were completely made up. Plus, even if they were real, what could they do to her?

Did they really think they could punish her or even drown her for her supposed immorality?

Chapter 195: Educating Lin Qi

They must be joking! She'd see who would be threatened in the end.

However, she had not gathered enough medicinal herbs, so she would not return to the village.

However, just because she didn't return to the village, it didn't mean that she couldn't teach the self-righteous Lin Qi and the despicable Lin Daniu a lesson. She had given Lin Daniu a deep lesson last time, but he still didn't know how to repent. He really turned a deaf ear to her words.

Lin Yuelan turned to Little Green and said, "Little Green, tonight, get your friends to entertain the highly respected Lin Qi and Lin Daniu."

"Yes, don't worry, master. My little companions and I will definitely treat them well. " Little Green's two green leaves stood up and bowed as if answering Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan's cold face warmed up. "Thank you, Little Green!" She said.

Whether it was in the bloody apocalypse or this new dynasty where she didn't know anyone, Little Green had always been by her side.

...

At the southwest of Mount Da Ao, Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing, and the rest were using a saw and a chopper to cut down the trees. Then, they would dig out their roots and finally plow the land with hoes and shovels. There were plenty of things to do.

To turn the place into a farming field, they would have to dig irrigation channels, raise the soil, and so on. It was not easy to develop wildlands, and it took a lot of time and effort.

Many farmers could not afford to spend so much time, so they would choose to rent the land from landlords.

Under the scorching sun, five bare-chested men were working hard, sweating like rain.

After working for half a day, the five of them took a break under the shade of the tree.

......

Guo Bing took a few sips of water and nibbled on the hard bun with some salted vegetables. After swallowing a few mouthfuls, he sighed and said, "When will Miss Lin come down the mountain? We've been eating hard buns for three days already. I think I'll throw up if I have to continue eating them."

Three days ago, Lin Yuelan followed Doctor Zhang's request to go up the mountain to pick herbs. She had prepared some food for them in advance, as well as dry food for a few days. Then, she put them in the ice box in the cellar. They could take the food out and heat them if they wanted to eat.

Lin Yuelan had prepared enough to last them for five days. However, Lin Yuelan's cooking was too delicious. They couldn't help themselves. They finished everything on day one, so they had been surviving on hard buns ever since.

They only had hard buns and salted vegetables now. They also had to portion the salted vegetables. They couldn't finish it all at once like before. Otherwise, they'd have to survive on hard buns and water in the future.

They had been pampered by Lin Yuelan and her delicious food. They couldn't imagine eating more of these bland hard buns.

Jiang Zhennan ate his bun silently, his chopsticks slowly picking up some pickled vegetables and putting them into his mouth. However, his sharp eyes were fixed on the entrance of Mount Da Ao.

'She is picking herbs on the mountain alone. I wonder if she'll run into any danger. At the end of the day, she is still very young.' Thinking of this, Jiang Zhennan's brows furrowed slightly under the mask. 'It has already been three days. What if she is in danger?' Jiang Zhennan started to fidget.

He put down his chopsticks and buns, picked up the big knife beside him, and stood up. He planned to walk up the mountain.

"Hey, boss, where are you going?" Guo Bing held a hard bun in his hand and immediately shouted. When he saw the direction Jiang Zhennan was walking towards, he immediately stopped him. "Boss, are you going into the mountains to look for miss Lin? Did you forget that she has forbidden us to do that?"

Jiang Zhennan stopped in his tracks, his sharp eyes once again looking at the entrance into the mountain. After a moment, he started walking again.

Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan's stubborn face and immediately felt a headache coming on. However, he quickly remembered what Lin Yuelan had told them before they left and quickly said, "Boss, didn't miss Lin say that if anything happened, she would get Little White to come to inform us? Since we haven't seen Little White around here, Miss Lin is fine. Boss, you don't need to worry."

Jiang Zhennan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said somewhat resentfully, "But, I'm a little worried about Miss Yue 'Er being on the mountain alone."

Chapter 196: Educating Lin Qi

Hearing that Jiang Zhennan was worried about Lin Yuelan, Guo Bing wanted to laugh out loud.

"Ha?" Guo Bing was shocked, "Boss, Miss Lin can kill more than 20 assassins in the blink of an eye. Why would you be worried about her? Is it because she is a young woman?"

Even if she was a woman, with her abilities and capabilities, what danger could she possibly face? Moreover, she had Little White, the king of the beasts, guarding her. She would not be in danger. If anything, she posed a danger to those she encountered.

Even though Jiang Zhennan knew Guo Bing made sense, he was still worried.

Guo Bing, "..." The boss worries too much.

Guo Bing, "Boss, Miss Lin told us that we must not go up the mountain before she comes down. So, boss, you..." They knew Lin Yuelan's temper well. She meant what she said. They didn't think they should make her angry.

Jiang Zhennan pondered for a moment, and then he turned back. 'Guo Bing is right. Miss Yue 'Er wouldn't be in any danger. Plus, she has Little White.'

After Jiang Zhennan sat down, he took out a bun from the basket and started to take big bites.

Seeing that there was no water in the kettle, Little Twelve picked it up and stood up. "Boss, I'll go get some water." Little twelve was the youngest, and he was usually the one who fetched water.

With the kettle in his hand, he walked briskly and arrived at the clear riverbank in a moment.

He unscrewed the bottle and bent over to fill it with water.

"Hey, did you guys hear? Lin Yuelan, that wretched girl, has done something immoral. Master Qi and the others have decided to punish her."

"Yes, I know about that. I heard that she had an ambiguous relationship with the five men in her house. I also heard that someone had seen the jinx kissing the five of them. Tsk tsk. The jinx is so young, but she already knows how to kiss."

"That's why she's so shameless. Therefore, Master Qi and the others need to punish her."

"I heard that Master Qi will not drown her but will instead carve the word 'lewd' on her face. Haha. I can't wait to see it."

"But that jinx has divine power. How will they do it?" The person asked.

"It doesn't matter. Once they put some drugs in her food, she will be putty in Master Qi and the others' hands."

"That's doable, but what if she wakes up and decides to take revenge on the village?"

"Don't worry. She won't do that. Her parents still live here. If she wants her parents to survive, then she'll have to live with this humiliation for the rest of her life."

"Haha, you're right. That wretched girl may have cut off her blood ties with Lin Laosan's family, but she still has to be filial to her blood parents."

As the voice faded away, little twelve's face was filled with anger.

He immediately picked up the water bottle and rushed back.

Little twelve shouted in panic, "boss, something bad is about to happen!"

The other four immediately went forward and asked, "what happened?"

Because of their relationship with Lin Yuelan, the villagers wouldn't gossip in front of them. They were afraid of alerting them and causing them to warn Lin Yuelan.

Little twelve panted as he said, "I just heard from the villagers that miss Lin has done something immoral. The villagers want to punish her by carving the word lewd on her face."

"What immoral things are they talking about?" Although he had some guesses, Jiang Zhennan still wanted to confirm them.

"They said that Miss Lin, she..." Little Twelve couldn't bring himself to say it.

"What's wrong? Hurry up and tell us." Guo Bing asked anxiously. "You're making me anxious."

Little twelve gritted his teeth and said, "they said that miss Lin has an ambiguous relationship with us. They also said that someone saw her kissing us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt a sharp gaze directed at him. Little twelve trembled in fear and immediately explained, "Boss, those people said that, not me."

'So, don't look at me with those murderous eyes. I'm scared.'

Chapter 197: Educating Lin Qi

"This is preposterous! How can they say things without evidence?" Guo Bing immediately shouted angrily, then looked at Jiang Zhennan and asked very seriously, "boss, miss Lin is not at home. What should we do now?"

Little Twelve interrupted and added, "Boss, they're preparing to drug miss Lin. And they even planned to use miss Lin's parents as a threat to force miss Lin to submit!"

What?

The others were shocked!

How detestable!

How despicable!

Jiang Zhennan immediately said darkly, "Since these people intend to drug and threaten Miss Yue 'Er with her parents, it means that they have a fear of Miss Yue 'Er. However, with Miss Yue 'Er's unyielding personality, she would probably not submit even if they threatened her with her parents.

"However, I'm afraid that the villagers will use other ways to make Miss Yue 'Er submit. Therefore, we find out all of their plans before Miss Yue 'Er comes back from the mountain."

"Yes!" The others agreed.

"But, boss, we also need to inform miss Lin as soon as possible so that she can be prepared!" Guo Bing said.

"Well, I'll go up the mountain to find her. You guys go back to the village and ask around!" Jiang Zhennan's voice was filled with suppressed anger. 'Miss Yue 'Er is a good person, but these people gang up to bully her. How despicable.'

"Oh, that's right, Guo Bing. When you arrive at the village, go and probe the village chief. See if he's involved in this matter. If he has tacitly agreed to this, there's no need to be polite to him." However, Jiang Zhennan believed that Lin Yiwei wouldn't be so muddleheaded. He hoped that Lin Yiwei didn't know about this. However, it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Alright, I got it, boss!" Guo Bing replied seriously. If the village chief was involved in this, then his position and his family in the capital would be heavily ruined. Even though Jiang Zhennan couldn't return to the capital now, it was only a matter of time before they did. They had more than enough power to punish a small village chief. However, they hoped that Lin Yiwei was innocent.

......

They split up.

Jiang Zhennan and the rest worried too much. They didn't need to do anything because things were already progressing along nicely.

When Lin Qi found out that Lin Yuelan had left the Lin family Village for three days, he thought that she had heard the news and had gone hiding in the mountains. However, the jinx couldn't hide forever. He believed that Lin Yuelan would return to the Lin family Village sooner or later.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry. He could wait slowly.

He would definitely take revenge on that wretched girl.

He was proud of the punishment he came up with. The wretched girl was only twelve, but she would have to live with the word 'lewd' carved on her face for the rest of her life. It would make her life worse than death. Lin Qi could see Lin Yuelan kneeling in front of him, crying and begging. His mood was good, and he walked to his bedroom to rest.

He placed his walking stick by the side of the bed and lay down.

The moment he lay down, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

There seemed to be something moving underneath his bed. It was moving up and down on his waist.

He immediately got up and pulled open the sleeping mat.

ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰʀᴇᴇ(ᴡᴇʙ)ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ.

However, the bedboard was very flat, and there was nothing on it.

Lin Qi was puzzled. "Am I getting too old that I'm imagining things?"

Then, he put down the mat and continued to lie down.

However, as soon as he lay down, that feeling came again. It seemed to be more intense as if someone wanted to lift him up from the middle of his waist.

Lin Qi got out of bed again and pulled open the sleeping mat, but he still did not see anything.

Lin Qi thought for a moment, then immediately shouted outside his bedroom. "Duan 'Er, come in for a moment!"

A young man in his twenties with a sallow face walked in. "Grandpa, did you call me?" Lin Duan asked in a daze.

"Mm," Lin Qi replied. Then, with the support of his walking stick, he pointed at the empty bed board with his other hand and said, "come, lift the bed board."

Lin Duan obediently lifted the bedboard, but when Lin Qi leaned over to take a look, he saw that there was nothing else other than a few jars he had kept down there.

However, he could clearly feel that something was pushing against his waist earlier.

Lin Qi asked Lin Duan to put the bed board back before saying to him, "Duan 'Er, go up the bed and lie down for a while." He wanted to confirm if there was something inside.

Lin Duan was slightly surprised to hear that his grandfather wanted him to lie on the bed. After all, his grandfather never allowed them to get close to his bed, let alone lie on it.

However, Lin Duan knew his grandfather well. He should keep his mouth shut and just follow his instructions, or he would be beaten.

Lin Duan obediently lay on the bed. Yes, it was quite comfortable.

After a while, he heard his grandfather's question. "Duan 'Er, do you feel something wriggling underneath you?"

Lin Duan closed his eyes and felt it for a moment before he answered honestly, "No, Grandpa! I feel especially comfortable. "

The entire Lin family was very protective of Lin Qi. The main reason was that with him around, no one in the village could bully their family. In fact, the whole Lin Family Village tried their best to please Lin Qi's family. After all, Lin Qi was a highly respected elder in the Lin family Village.

Lin Qi furrowed his brows. Once again, he began to doubt himself. 'Did I imagine all that?'

He immediately got Lin Duan to stand up, then had Lin Duan stand at the side while he lay down.

However, as soon as he lay down, that feeling came back again. The force around his waist was even a little sharp this time.

He immediately got up and looked at the bed with a frightened expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Duan immediately asked, "grandfather, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Qi trembled as he pointed at his bed. "Duan 'Er, there's something inside. There's something here. It's trying to crawl into my waist."

Lin Duan furrowed his brows and went forward to check. He lifted the bed again, but there was still nothing. He said, "Grandpa, there's nothing here. Did you imagine it?"
