Chapter 384: The Little Cannon Fodder in the Rebirth Story 31
Zhou Xiaoxiao took her things and left. She didn't care how their lives were going to be and she went straight back to the hotel!
The next morning, she returned to the educated youth camp, which was just in time for her work. During the off-season, she earned three work points a day! Her work points at the educated youth camp went from the third-to-last to the second-to-last!
The villagers in the brigade all shook their heads when they saw her. If you say she is lazy, she never misses a day of fishing, and she chops wood and fetches water by herself. Those female educated youth who are better off pay money to exchange firewood with the villagers.
You can say she is diligent, but she is not very active in going to work. She clocks in for half a day and then disappears! Work points represent food and money. Don’t you see that the villagers wish they had two more hands to earn work points?
They were also a little confused. Was Chen Zhiqing's family well off or not? Anyway, they thought she was pretty weird! They always felt that she was putting the cart before the horse. Her hard work was all in vain!
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know what the villagers were thinking. She continued to do her own thing and never got tired of it! What a joke. She was only carrying water and chopping wood to pretend to be doing it. In fact, she was using the spiritual spring water from the space and secretly moving firewood through the space. She only picked it out when there were people around.
Anyway, the village chief wouldn't care about them, except during the busy farming season! At that time, no one was allowed to ask for leave without special circumstances. But she also knew that they could live so comfortably, all of which was inseparable from an open-minded team leader!
Therefore, as long as the educated youths did not violate the team leader's bottom line and did not make principled mistakes, their lives would be quite easy. Of course, Chen Xiaoxiao would not be stupid enough to go against the team leader!
She likes this kind of life very much. She works when she wants to work and takes leave when she doesn’t want to work! She often goes to the beach. If she is tired, she takes a sketchbook and a pen to paint and sketch at the beach!
Sometimes when you are having fun, you can find a deserted place, simply prepare the seafood you picked up, and have a barbecue outdoors on the beach! Feel the sea breeze, step on the sand, and lie on the beach to rest for a while when you are tired. Isn't this freedom better than going to work every day in the city?
She remembered that in her previous life she worked in a factory and had no holidays on New Year's Eve or the first day of the New Year. She had everything she needed, so of course she could do whatever she wanted!
That day, she was grilling while reading a novel to kill time, turning the skewers over from time to time to prevent them from getting burnt! When they were almost cooked, she sprinkled them with chili, salt and cumin powder, and the aroma instantly filled her nose!
Just as she was about to enjoy her delicious meal, she suddenly heard a faint and weak voice, whispering for help. Chen Xiaoxiao was startled and quickly looked around! By the way, she released all her mental power and saw a man with bruises lying under the leaves in the woods not far away.
His clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood, which had already scabbed over. His face was also injured, and it was hard to see clearly. It was pale and gray, and his mouth was dry and peeling. It seemed that he had been deprived of water and food for a long time.
The gunshot wound had festered and maggots were growing on his leg, and there were ants crawling on other parts of his body! Chen Xiaoxiao almost vomited when she saw the man's miserable appearance! She also lost her appetite for the delicious seafood in her hand.
Who knows how long this man has been lying here? She scanned him with her mental power and found that he had more than one gunshot wound on his leg. The more serious gunshot wound was on his back.
Well, this guy only has less than 5% of his battery left. It's a miracle that he can hold on until now. It is enough to show how strong his desire to survive is.
Moreover, he was already extremely weak from lack of water and food for a long time. If she hadn't come, he would have died the next day or the day after tomorrow! Looking at the calluses on his clothes and hands, Chen Xiaoxiao could roughly guess that he was a soldier.
She was speechless. It was just a small island. How could there be so many things going on? And she was on the villagers' side, with her back to the other side and facing the sea.
Since she found a spy there last time, she has not been there and only hangs out with the villagers. She really didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble always finds her! Can't she just lie down and do nothing for the rest of her life?
Where on earth did this soldier comrade come from? Chen Xiaoxiao has been to this place many times, but because the villagers think it is too far away, they are unwilling to come here. She almost regards this place as her secret base.
She had used her mental power to scan the entire area several times before, but in recent times she only used her mental power to check the seafood on the beach and did not check the mountain. She just took a quick look on the mountain and saw that there was no one nearby, then she felt at ease to grill.
But this time it has been a week since the last time! I didn't expect that such a big leak would happen after not checking the mountain twice. Fortunately, this person was unconscious. It seems that I can't be careless in the future.
Chen Xiaoxiao sighed. Since she had encountered him, she still felt a little bit reluctant to watch him die. She had no choice but to feed him some spiritual spring water, which would at least keep him going until she called the captain over.
Seeing that although he tried hard to swallow, most of it still flowed out, this also shows that this person is still somewhat conscious! Come to think of it, he can still hold on until now, doesn't it prove his iron willpower?
Then she thought again, even if the captain sent him to the hospital in time, the current hospital conditions would make it impossible to save him! She scratched her head. She could save this man, but if she saved him, her medical skills would probably be exposed.
Chen Xiaoxiao has a mysterious trust filter for the soldiers of this era, although she also knows that not all soldiers are good! Aren’t the military husbands in the last world like that?
But she wanted to save the person in front of her, after all, it was rare to find someone with such a strong desire to survive. In this case, he must have unfulfilled wishes, or someone at home was waiting for him to return home.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoxiao started to act! First, he used his mental power to make the man completely unconscious, and then put him on a flat surface. Then he took out the gold needles and inserted them quickly. Soon, his whole body was covered with dense needles.
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoxiao began to pick herbs in the space medicine field. He quickly used his wood-related abilities to extract all the essence from the herbs and slowly injected them into his body!
He also used his supernatural powers to repair his tendons and veins, but his leg had been injured for too long, and the fact that he could stand up without limping was a testament to the great medical skills of the doctor who treated him. It would probably be difficult for him to undergo intensive training in the future.
Chen Xiaoxiao watched his pulse slowly return to normal. It was much better than before. The doctor should be able to save him now, so she stopped!
After doing all this, Chen Xiaoxiao sent him back to the original place, covered him with leaves again, sorted out her things, and put out the fire with stones and fine sand. She carried the bucket, the backpack, and the string and left!
She looked at the octopus tail skewers in her hand and thought of the reptiles on the man's body. She really had no appetite to eat, so she put the skewers into the space. Although she studied medicine, she still didn't want to face these, especially when eating.
When Chen Xiaoxiao returned to the village, she put everything away first, and then went to the team leader's house to find him. Unexpectedly, the team leader was in the field this time.
She had no choice but to run to the field again, met the captain, and pulled him aside. She whispered to him: "Uncle Captain, when I went to pick up seafood, I found a man. He was seriously injured, but he was not dead yet."
"You, you, haven't you learned your lesson last time? Where did you go this time?" Captain Zhao was speechless!
So many villagers and educated youth had gone to pick up seafood, why was it that she always encountered such messy things? It had only been a short time? She encountered it again!
"I don't know either. I only go there occasionally. Captain, please take people there quickly! If it's too late, he might not be saved. There are worms on the wounds on his body. By the way, it seems that the man is a soldier." Chen Xiaoxiao said innocently!
"What? A soldier? You, why didn't you tell me earlier?" When the captain heard about the soldier, he quickly called his trusted nephew and asked Chen Xiaoxiao to lead the way!
A group of people rushed to the scene of the incident in a dusty state. Chen Xiaoxiao took them to the woods, pulled aside the leaves, and let them see for themselves!
The captain was shocked when he saw this, and he put his finger under the man's nose to check his breath. Seeing that the man was still breathing, he immediately and carefully helped him up!
Another companion broke off a branch with leaves and swept the insects off his legs and back, and also drove away the ants on his body.
The three of them took turns carrying the man and walked quickly, without staying in the village for long, and went straight to the pier! Chen Xiaoxiao did not follow them and went home alone!
She went home and dealt with the seafood she had picked up while thinking about these two things. The captain was puzzled, and she was also a little puzzled. It had only been less than half a year since she went to the countryside, and she had encountered these two things! And the timing was just right.
Is this a coincidence? Or is the law of this world intervening again? But it doesn't seem like it. Last time, she benefited. If this soldier is saved this time, she will also benefit!
If the heavens intervened, they would not be so merciful, nor would they do such a small thing. So it must be a coincidence? In this case, if things come to her, she will just take it!
It is impossible for her to stay at home and not go out and enjoy life just because of these two small things. She has decided that she will do what she wants in the future.
Anyway, she would ask the captain to solve any troublesome matters, and she would solve any matters that threatened her life by herself! She had so many special skills that she could walk sideways. No matter good or bad, she was not afraid at all!
After figuring out what happened, Chen Xiaoxiao felt more at ease! The captain came back on the third day. He heard that although the man didn't wake up, he was no longer in danger of death. The police also found his superiors and successfully transferred him to the military region!
When he came back and saw Chen Xiaoxiao, he was hesitant to speak. He didn't know whether to ask her to run around more or to ask her to stay at home as obediently as possible, and even if she went to pick up seafood, she had to go with everyone.
After all, the outside world was in chaos. Although the island was much better than the outside world, he could not guarantee that nothing would happen. These things were quite dangerous. Once someone discovered this young and fresh educated youth, his life would be in danger.
But every time she went out, she could come back safely. No matter whether she was saving people or reporting something, it was a great achievement, and he received a lot of praise and thanks.
He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but he hoped it was! Thinking of his own daughter, forget it, he advised her to go with other people if she wanted to pick up seafood, safety first!
Chen Xiaoxiao listened to the captain's words and told him not to worry, maybe he was overthinking it. It would be fine if it was just a coincidence, but if it really wasn't a coincidence, it wouldn't matter.
She didn't want to cause trouble, but she wouldn't be afraid if she encountered trouble. If that was the case, she didn't think that trouble wouldn't find her at home.
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't take this matter to heart. She ate, slept, and worked. She even kept the deal with the gangster boss. It was because these seafood were so popular!
The transaction was conducted once a month, and the seafood traded each time was about 5,000 kilograms, which means that each transaction was about 800 to 1,000 rabbits. After several transactions, it felt like the number of rabbits in the space had not decreased much!
In order to allow enough space for the live fish and shrimp, Chen Xiaoxiao specially introduced some sea water, and the area of the space sea became much larger!
But her carefree days soon came to an end, because the autumn harvest was coming. Before the autumn harvest, the team leader gave the villagers a few days off, and all the villagers went to the city to buy eggs, meat, and other food!
The captain also organized people to go fishing, and exchanged seafood for money to buy meat. Even the black boss's demand for rabbits increased a lot, and he traded with her three times in just a few days!
After all, the rabbits are alive and weigh several kilograms each. Villagers can buy them and raise them first, and then kill them when the time comes. They sell faster than meat! Of course, there is also a reason why meat is in short supply!
Everyone was preparing for the autumn harvest, and Chen Xiaoxiao was no exception! On the surface, she also carried back five or six kilograms of pork, and then took out a few kilograms from the space. Some of it was made into meat sauce, and some was braised.
But the educated youth were very greedy. Although they also bought meat and eggs, they were not as delicious as the ones made by Chen Xiaoxiao!
Some time ago, they often saw Chen Xiaoxiao eating seafood, and they never got tired of it every day, so they looked down on her. But after a long time, they realized that Chen Xiaoxiao's cooking skills were not on the same level as theirs!
She was able to make the fishy seafood look very delicious. Later, the educated youth tried to learn her method, but they still couldn't master it. However, the food was much better than before.
It's not that no one has proposed to cook with her, but Chen Xiaoxiao rejected them all. Chen Xiaoxiao would not agree to cook with someone who is not very familiar or someone she cares about very much!
