Chapter 228 Qin Xiaoyun was walking with his head down when he suddenly heard a loud crash, followed by a gust of strong wind. He looked up and saw a locust tree with extremely lush branches and leaves crashing towards him at an astonishing speed. Qin Xiaoyun's mind went blank in an instant. He wanted to dodge quickly, but the locust tree fell too fast and it was too late to avoid it. He could only despair and resign himself to his fate. He slowly closed his eyes and prepared to face the arrival of disaster. The others were also terrified at this moment, with their eyes wide open, staring intently, caught off guard at the thrilling scene before them. Their breathing seemed to stop at this moment, and their hearts seemed to stop beating, as they were completely stunned by this sudden change. Just when the locust tree was about to hit Qin Xiaoyun, Li Ying rushed to Qin Xiaoyun at an incredible speed like a flash of lightning at this critical moment, and stretched out her hands without hesitation, blocking the locust tree like a strongman. Everyone else thought that Qin Xiaoyun would be hit on the head and bleed by the locust tree, and would be seriously injured if not dead. But when they saw Li Yingjiao desperately blocking in front of Qin Xiaoyun, and her petite and slender hands miraculously holding up the locust tree as thick as a bowl, they all widened their eyes in disbelief and looked at Li Ying in surprise with their mouths wide open. Wow! How could such a fragile body have such great strength to support the falling tree? There was no expected severe pain, which made Qin Xiaoyun open his eyes suddenly. He saw Li Ying standing in front of him, supporting herself with the locust tree that was falling on her. The usually calm him was instantly filled with mixed emotions. Li Ying saved herself! Not only did she save her father, she now saved herself. Li Ying supported herself on the tree trunk with both hands, raised her eyes to look at Lao Wang and the others, with a firmness on her face that did not belong to her peers, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!" After hearing what Li Ying said, Lao Wang and his companions came to their senses and immediately ran far away until they were far away from the danger zone.
Li Ying channeled the spiritual power in her body into her wrist, and then pushed it against the tree trunk. With a loud bang, the locust tree fell to the side. Qin Xiaoyun looked at Li Ying's thin arms and legs, and with a light push, she pushed the locust tree, which was as thick as her thigh, to the ground. He felt like a weak chicken in front of Li Ying, and his mood was indescribable. It hurts your self-esteem so much! Lao Wang and the others watched as Li Ying pushed down the locust tree, which was as thick as her thigh, with just a casual push. They wondered how a woman with flesh and blood could do that. If they had half the strength of this little girl, the work would not be so tiring. When they got closer, they were shocked to see that the tree trunk was sunk deep into the ground and the leaves were all over the ground! "Thank you, girl. If you hadn't helped me, I would have lost a life today and would definitely have gone to jail." Lao Wang said gratefully. "Uncle, no need to thank me, it's just a small favor!" Li Ying said. When Old Wang saw that Li Ying was so easy-going and pretty, he secretly sighed in his heart and wondered who was so lucky to have such a good daughter. Lao Wang looked at Qin Xiaoyun. The clothes he was wearing were obviously made of fine material, not something that ordinary people could afford. Moreover, he had a noble temperament, so he must be a rich and powerful person. "Young master, I'm really sorry. I don't know why the half-cut tree suddenly fell down and scared you. It's my fault. Please forgive me for not doing it on purpose. I hope you won't hold me responsible." Lao Wang said nervously. "I'm fine, so I won't hold you responsible. But not everyone is as easy to talk to as me. When you work in the future, you must pay more attention to safety and protective measures, and never hurt others or yourself." Qin Xiaoyun said. Seeing that Qin Xiaoyun did not hold him responsible, Lao Wang was delighted and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I will pay more attention in the future." Li Ying was born into a peasant family and knew the hard work and routine of farmers. Some farmers would work until dark before going home. Out of kindness, she reminded them, "There is a lot of yin energy here. You should leave as soon as possible before the sun sets, otherwise you may encounter some unclean things." "Thank you for the reminder, young lady." Lao Wang said. Li Ying and Qin Xiaoyun were about to leave when they heard Lao Wang shout, "Girl, wait a minute!" Li Ying and Qin Xiaoyun turned around and looked at Lao Wang at the same time. Li Ying asked, "Uncle, what else do you want?" Lao Wang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and pointed at the locust tree that had sunk into the ground with a red face, "Girl, the whole tree is stuck in the mud. It will be very troublesome and time-consuming for us to get it out. Can you help..." Having said this, Lao Wang felt a little embarrassed to continue, but his meaning was self-evident, that is, he hoped Li Ying could help pry the tree out. Li Ying rolled her eyes, knowing that it was embarrassing to speak up. She was kind enough to help but still had to clean up the mess! However, she still took the hatchet from a worker and chopped the branch in no time. Then she picked up the axe and chopped the trunk into three parts, and then took out three pieces of wood and put them aside. Li Ying clapped her hands, looked at Lao Wang and said, "Uncle, are you satisfied with this?" Lao Wang nodded, "Satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied."
Oh my god! She did the job skillfully and at a speed that he couldn't even match. He, who had done hard labor for decades, felt inferior to a teenage girl. "Miss Xiang, are you from the countryside?" Lao Wang asked curiously. Li Ying smiled and said, "Yes! I come from the countryside." Lao Wang kindly said, "This is a prestigious school. The tuition is expensive. You must seize the opportunity and don't go astray. Don't be like us. Without education, you can only do hard labor." As Lao Wang spoke, he glanced at Qin Xiaoyun who was standing beside him, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing that Lao Wang wanted to say something but seemed unable to speak, Li Ying couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it." "You are beautiful, and there must be many boys who like you, but men's words are unreliable. You should study more to have a chance to succeed." said Lao Wang. Lao Wang said this because Li Ying had helped him a lot and because they both came from poor backgrounds. But when he said these words, he seemed to have forgotten that he was also a man. Li Ying knew that Lao Wang meant well, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, uncle. I will study hard." After that, she waved at Lao Wang, turned around and left with Qin Xiaoyun. Seeing that it was getting late, the two were about to go to the school cafeteria to eat. When they reached the cafeteria door, they saw a man rushing towards them. Li Ying looked closely and found that it was the worker who was injured by the tree. Wang Gang searched for Li Ying for a long time in the school but couldn't find her, so he thought of trying his luck in the school cafeteria. Unexpectedly, he actually met her. As soon as he saw Li Ying, he burst into tears of gratitude and said, "My benefactor! If it weren't for you today, I would be dead. You are my lifesaver!" Li Ying couldn't help but smile when she saw Wang Gang's grateful expression. Seeing that the black energy lingering on his face had dissipated, Li Ying said, "Uncle, everything has its cause and effect. We have escaped danger this time. After surviving this disaster, you should do more good deeds in the future. You will surely live in peace and die peacefully." Wang Gang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "I will, I will." ……
