Chapter 154: The Complaint

[I’m dumbfounded.]
[I didn’t expect Zhou Guang’s acting to be so good. I feel so sorry for him when I see him in such a pitiful state.]
[I don’t really understand… What’s Zhou-ge doing. He could’ve just stopped her yesterday. Then he wouldn’t have to get pinched.]
[I guess it’s to prevent Bai Lin from being soft-hearted. Lin-jie’s various performances in the show were quite fierce, but she’s the kind of person who wouldn’t attack others unless they attack her first. Lu Zhi’s troubled Zhou-ge in all sorts of ways along the journey, but she hasn’t done anything out of line. Bai Lin wouldn’t be too harsh on her. If Zhou-ge punishes her on the way, she’ll only be afraid of Zhou-ge when she returns to the team. At that time, she might even cause trouble in front of Bai Lin.]
[That makes sense. If something happens, my Lin-jie will have to deal with it.]
[Saying it as it is, Zhou Guang’s really protective of his sister. Before Lu Zhi joins the team, he gave Bai Lin a chance to teach Lu Zhi a lesson. If Lu Zhi’s afraid, she’ll be more obedient in the team.]
[I’m stunned.]
[Zhou-ge’s little brain can actually think so much? I’m looking at him in a new light.]
[As long as his sister is involved, Zhou-ge becomes exceptionally smart.]
[But my Lin-jie… She’s too ruthless this time.]
Porcupines were a rare delicacy in the dry desert, but they were extremely dangerous.
The porcupines’ spines were long and sharp, and their movement speed was very fast. Even the most experienced natives had to be very careful when they encountered the porcupines, or they would die.
They had guns, but Bai Lin did not want to waste precious bullets in a place like this. She only marked the location and planned to find something to lure the porcupine out after she met up with Zhou Guang.
The porcupine cave was five to six meters wide. Lu Zhi’s body was tied up with a rope. She screamed and wailed as she struggled violently. However, Bai Lin was not affected and slowly let her down.
Her bare skin was smeared with a kind of plant juice that porcupines liked to eat the most. It was a little poisonous and Lu Zhi felt a stinging pain on her skin.
“Bai Lin! Don’t go too far!” Lu Zhi’s face turned pale with fear. “Don’t you have a gun? Wouldn’t it be faster to shoot with a gun?”
Bai Lin lay by the pit and said lazily, “I can catch porcupines without a gun or you. But Aunt Lu, you bullied my brother. I can’t just sit back and do nothing when I found out, can I?”
Lu Zhi seemed to hear the sound of the porcupine’s spines rubbing against the ground. Her scream became even sharper. “Pull me up! I’m sorry! I was wrong!” “You’re not sincere,” Bai Lin said.
Lu Zhi’s tears and snot were mixed together. The instructor had previously shown them a video of someone being p.r.i.c.ked by a porcupine. When she thought about how she was going to become like that, she felt despaired.
Sincerity? What was sincerity?
Lu Zhi cursed Bai Lin in her heart for looking for trouble and being vicious and cruel, but she appeared very sincere on the surface. “Xiao Lin, I know you’re a good child. I really know I’m in the wrong. I shouldn’t have treated Zhou Guang like that. I really regret it, so hurry up—ah!”
Something suddenly shot out from the cave beside her feet. Lu Zhi let out an inhuman scream and she tensed. Bai Lin lifted her up a little.
The porcupine’s spines were wriggling under her feet, trying to stab her. At a
closer look, the spines were even scarier than in the video.
The spines swept across her ankle. If Bai Lin lowered her a little or let go, she would immediately be pierced into a sieve.
“Bai Lin! The porcupine is here! Hurry up and catch it!”
Bai Lin grabbed the rope and used what she had to make a simple pulley mechanism, so it was easy to put down or pull up Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi’s voice cracked from her shouting. She was terrified and panicking. The people around her could not bear to see her like this, but no one came up to persuade Bai Lin.
[This Lin-jie is like a devil.]
[She doesn’t look like a good person.]
[I’m so happy. With how Lu Zhi treated Zhou Guang, this is karma.]
[Lin-jie is still too gentle. She only gave Lu Zhi a scare. If it were me, I’d have sent her straight into the porcupine cave. So what if she’s p.r.i.c.ked? It’s not like the crew can’t save her.]
Bai Lin lowered Lu Zhi again, and this time, the spines had indeed p.r.i.c.ked Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi cried even more miserably, “Zhou Guang! Keep your sister in check! ”
Zhou Guang shrugged. “I can’t. Usually, it’s my sister who keeps me in check..”
