Chapter 18 Resolutely Not Taking You
Of course, it is impossible for the people in the village to know Xiao Yi's plan. There is still a large area of open space in the vegetable garden in the backyard. Xiao Yi found a shovel to turn the ground over, and then sprinkled vegetable seeds.
In the past few days, Xiao Yi could clearly feel that the Dao Qi in his body had improved, and he was much more proficient at controlling and operating the Dao Qi.
"It seems that we are not far away from entering the Baixuan Realm. I have been wearing this jade pendant since I was born, but I never thought that there is such a big secret in it."
Back then, Xiao Yi's life was hanging by a thread, Xiao Yi was knocked down by the shrapnel from the rocket bomb, but it was a blessing in disguise, the jade pendant was soaked in blood, and Xiao Yi was able to regain his life by breaking the blood seal on the jade pendant.
Lying under the tree and practicing for an hour, Xiao Yi was woken up by the noise of the villagers. The sound outside was intermittent, so he couldn't hear what happened.
Xiao Yi only heard a few words, and everyone rushed to the village committee, so Xiao Yi also got up and walked towards the village committee.
"What should we do? Why don't we call the police now."
"It will take time for the police to come over. It is estimated that at this time, the man has already been taken away by wolves."
Li Xiaojia was surrounded by a group of villagers. Now that Li Xiaojia is the village head of Anning Bay, everyone is waiting for Li Xiaojia to come up with a solution.
"Listen to me first, everyone, please be quiet. Even if you call the police, you have to be missing for 24 hours before the police will file a case. It's not yet time, and calling the police is useless."
"This... what should I do? If someone hasn't come back all night, something must have happened."
"Yes! Village Chief, you are from the city and have a lot of experience. What do you think about this matter!"
"What happened?" Xiao Yi walked out from the crowd, and Xiao Yi didn't know what happened.
Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Li Xiaojia felt as if she had found a backer all of a sudden. As long as Xiao Yi was around, she would definitely find a way.
"Xiao Yi... A few people from the village went up to the mountain to pick mushrooms. They set off at three or four o'clock yesterday afternoon. They haven't come back until now, and everyone can't be contacted."
"It turned out to be like this. Could it be that I got lost? It is common to go in the wrong direction in the mountains."
Xiao Yi guessed, but several villagers shook their heads, saying that they were definitely not lost.
"Xiao Yi, you don't know if you're not in the village. On the mountain opposite us, a few wolves often appeared a while ago. Now that people don't come back on time, they must be in danger."
"Yeah, how can this person be a wolf's opponent? The one who went to pick mushrooms is also the daughter of the old He family. If the children meet someone good or bad..."
After this, the villagers will not say anything, everyone can feel that if they really encounter wild wolves, the situation is not optimistic.
Li Xiaojia frowned. This matter is indeed very difficult. Calling the police is not enough to file a price adjustment. Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, leaving only some elderly people.
"Well, you guys wait at home for a while. I'll go to the mountain to look for them. If I find them, I'll take them down the mountain as soon as possible."
This is the only way Xiao Yi can think of. Li Xiaojia is the village head of Anning Bay, so she had to figure out a way for this matter.
"Xiao Yi, can you do this? If there are really wild wolves on the mountain, you will also be in danger."
"Don't worry, my luck is better. Besides, I am familiar with the environment in this mountain. If I encounter wild wolves, I can escape immediately."
"No! It's too dangerous for you to go alone. At least two people are needed to take care of each other."
Li Xiaojia disagreed with Xiao Yi's decision, and looked back at the people around her. These people were all elderly, or women who stayed at home to look after their children.
"Here, you have also seen that besides me, the young and strong young man is not here, so I can only go by myself."
It's no problem for Xiao Yi to go alone. Xiao Yi didn't care about the wild wolves, and one more person would be an extra burden.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes, and I'll accompany you up the mountain later."
"What? Are you kidding me? I went up the mountain to save people, not to play."
Li Xiaojia had made up her mind. Even if Xiao Yi said so, she would definitely go with her. A wave of stubbornness was supporting Li Xiaojia.
"I'm not joking, because I am the head of this village. If people in the village are missing, of course I have the responsibility to look for them."
"No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible. You just stay here and wait for me to come back. Just say it, don't take it seriously."
"Don't look down on me. Going up the mountain is not difficult for me. I was a black belt in Taekwondo before." Li Xiaojia insisted.
"Black belt? You're still a white belt, why should you go? I will never take you into the mountains and wait for my news here."
Xiao Yi was determined not to take Li Xiaojia up the mountain together. It was dangerous for a girl to climb the mountain, and there were wild wolves in the mountain, so she couldn't go with her.
An hour later, in the mountains behind Anning Bay, Xiao Yi was leading the way, but Li Xiaojia couldn't hold back, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to take her into the mountains.
In the mountain, Xiao Yi often came to play when he was a child, and he is very familiar with the terrain here. Those who went to the mountain to pick mushrooms last night but did not come back, went to the red pine forest.
"Aren't you tired at all?" Li Xiaojia was out of breath, and the two of them didn't rest for a while on the mountain road for an hour.
"Why are you tired? I remember you said just now that it's only been an hour, and you can't bear it anymore?"
Xiao Yi has been a special soldier for six years, trained like a devil, and practiced "Xuantian Taoism", his physical endurance is not comparable to that of ordinary people. "I can't do it. Let me rest for a while. Are you a human being? I watched you behind you for a long time. Why don't you even sweat?"
"If you don't sweat, you're not human. I used to play in this mountain area when I was a child, so it's not a problem to walk such a small mountain road. If you are tired, take a rest first."
"I forgot, you guys have served in the army, and your physical strength is definitely not comparable to yours, so I will rest for a while."
Li Xiaojia's stamina is naturally not on the same level as Xiao Yi's. Anyway, it's not urgent to go to the mountains to find someone. The two of them just find a place to sit down and rest for a while.
Before setting off, Li Xiaojia brought a lot of equipment with her, including a water bottle and a specially prepared electric baton to prevent encountering wild wolves outside.
"Hey... do you drink water?"
"I don't need it, just find mountain spring water to drink."
"Mountain spring water is not clean, and there are messy things in it." Holding the water bottle with both hands, Li Xiaojia opened the lid, and took a few sips from the small opening on it.
The pink lips and the movement of drinking water are very different from those of the villagers, and every move has a ladylike taste.
