Chapter 127: Picking Pine Cones_1
Qin Jin led Feng Fugui and Feng Kui to Jiangpu Village to find Liu Er, and they brought tools to pick up pinecones together.
Feng Fugui noticed they were being followed by Feng Hu and signaled for Qin Jin to look back.
Qin Jin sneered with ill intentions, "I saw him a while ago." That hill was called Pig Waist Ridge, and according to the elders nearby, it was the highest point in the county. Bandits used to live there, and ghostly fires would appear at night. They only dared to go there to pick up firewood at the foot of the hill and never ventured deep into it.
He was waiting for Feng Hu to go up there; he guaranteed the guy would behave for a good while after returning home.
The group reached their destination, and Qin Jin locked the bike and led the way into the mountain.
Feng Hu planned to let the air out of Qin Jin’s bike tires and, since there were two bikes, he couldn’t tell which was Qin Jin’s and prepared to deflate both.
Just as he reached for the valve, he heard Feng Fugui’s voice, "Er’hu, what are you doing?"
Feng Hu straightened up in panic, only to see four people not far from him, staring him down fiercely. He was related to Feng Fugui and Feng Kui and also the same age, though Feng Hu was a few months older. So, he called out to his younger cousin, "I saw some bugs on your bike, just picking them off."
Qin Jin enunciated each word, "Picking bugs? You mean letting air out, right?" He had plenty of experience with such tricks. "If my tires are flat, you’ll be the one to answer for it!" He was the first to head deeper into the mountain.
Feng Hu: "...."
Feng Kui and the others followed; Feng Hu quickly caught up. The men moved quickly, but it still took them almost half an hour to reach the spot.
