"What’s going on? Leng Yuan, what are you doing here?"
Chen Beiguo had been worried sick ever since he heard the news and had imdiately rushed over with so of his n.
The mont he arrived and saw Leng Yuan, he was relieved.
’With Leng Yuan around, nothing bad will happen.’
"Where’s the wild boar?"
Before Leng Yuan could answer, Chen Beiguo hurriedly asked again.
Leng Yuan led Gu Jiaojiao aside, revealing the wild boar lying on the ground.
The villagers behind him imdiately cried out in shock.
"Good heavens, that thing must be over four hundred pounds! Did you two kill it?"
A wild boar that big would dare to take on a tiger. It was no easy kill.
All the educated youths were terrified.
It was Li Fenggu who explained the situation to everyone.
When they heard that Leng Yuan had killed the boar and saved everyone at the educated youth quarters, they all stared at him as if he were a monster.
They had long known Leng Yuan was formidable, but to kill a wild boar weighing over four hundred pounds just like that was simply unbelievable.
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t like the way people were looking at her man, so she stepped forward and spoke loudly.
"Team Leader, Leng Yuan killed a wild boar, saved the people at the educated youth quarters, and even provided everyone with at to eat. Surely no one would be so heartless and ungrateful as to hold it against him, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Beiguo reflexively snapped, "Who would dare hold it against him? Anyone who thinks that way is a beast with a rotten conscience!"
The crowd: ...
"The Team Leader is right! Leng Yuan saved people, he’s a hero. How could we possibly have a problem with that?!"
"That’s right, that’s right! Anyone who thinks that way is worse than a beast."
Now, those who had harbored so ill will toward Leng Yuan didn’t dare show it.
Anyone who did would be branded a beast.
And they certainly weren’t beasts.
Only then did Gu Jiaojiao reveal a smile. "Well, that’s a relief. Otherwise, the next ti a wild boar charges into the village, we might not dare to help."
As soon as she said this, the villagers grew anxious.
It was common for wild boars to co down from the mountains. If Leng Yuan didn’t step in, what would they do?
"Leng Yuan killed the boar, and now everyone has at to eat. This is a blessing for our Qingshan Team! If anyone dares to have a problem with it, I’ll be the first to teach them a lesson."
"That’s right! Leng Yuan is a blessing to our Qingshan Team."
"A blessing."
A chorus of voices rose up.
The chant, "Leng Yuan is a blessing," was exceptionally loud.
Xu Wenwan had just entered the doorway when she heard this, and her eyes flickered.
She had arrived late, so no one noticed her.
Only Leng Yuan felt her gaze on him and stepped aside in annoyance.
Gu Jiaojiao, who was now standing in plain sight: ...
She turned her head and saw Xu Wenwan staring at her man. A brilliant smile blood on her lips.
"Miss Xu, Yun Zhiqing is over there watching you!"
That one sentence was enough to make Xu Wenwan panic.
She turned her head, looked toward the educated youths, scanned the area once, then again, and finally her gaze landed on a figure covered in blood and gri.
If it weren’t for Yun Hao’s clothes being different from everyone else’s—a white shirt—she wouldn’t have recognized him at all.
Seeing his face covered in blood, Xu Wenwan hurried forward.
"Yun Hao, what happened to you? Where are you hurt?"
As she got closer, she slled a foul, coppery stench, which made Xu Wenwan stop two steps away.
Her worry was real, her urgency was real, but her disgust at the sll on him was also real.
Although Yun Hao knew he slled awful, Xu Wenwan’s reaction still stung.
Especially after he’d just seen her staring so intently at Leng Yuan.
This made his expression darken. "I’m fine."
After saying that, he had Hu Ziqiang help him into a room. He needed to wash up first.
But as he was returning to his room, his eyes couldn’t help but lock onto the radiantly smiling Gu Jiaojiao, and his thin lips tightened.
