Class Teacher System-Chapter 66: Against heaven and earth (25)
Chapter 66: Against heaven and earth (25)
Although Ren Zhu and Qin Cong said that they were going deeper into the mountain to go hunting, this was only an excuse for them to look around. The two of them had already prepared to hunt a few pheasants and rabbits as a cover while they searched for the entrance. In fact, they had been doing this for the past hour. After catching a rabbit and a pheasant, they walked deeper and deeper into the mountain. They looked at almost every single area that was lush with plantation, as these were the best places to conceal the entrance.
However, an hour passed and they still couldn’t find any results, apart from the few wild herbs and mushrooms that Ren Zhu found. Having searched for an hour, the two of them were more or less tired. There happened to be a small stream in the forest, so they decided to walk there and rest for a few minutes.
And within these few minutes, a fat and tender white pig suddenly appeared within their sights.
“…… This must be a domestic pig, right?” Sitting beside the stream, Ren Zhu looked at the pig and asked Qin Cong.
Young master Qin thought for a moment and somewhat doubtfully nodded: “It should be? I’ve seen wild boars before; they don’t look like this.”
“You’ve seen wild boars before but you’ve never seen domestic pigs?” Ren Zhu felt that this young master’s common sense didn’t seem quite right.
“Mm, I’ve killed a few wild boars when I went hunting before. As for domestic pigs…… which family would raise this thing?” Young master Qin reasoned.
Teacher Ren felt that this was quite reasonable. He then changed the topic: “There’s readily available pork ribs, pork thigh, pork belly and braised pork! Even if our primary objective isn’t achieved, since the meat has been delivered to our door, how can we not eat it?”
Young master Qin strongly agreed. He rolled up his sleeves and said: “When we go back, I’ll make you some braised pork ribs! This is the dish I’m best at making! I guarantee that after you eat it, you’ll find it so delicious that you’ll cry!”
Ren Zhu laughed when he heard this. That could really happen. The two of them stood up and prepared to hunt the pig. However, the white pig seemed to have sensed that something terrible was about to happen. It vigilantly glanced at Teacher Ren and young master Qin from across the river before grunting twice and turning around, directly running away on its fat trotters! Its speed didn’t match with its short legs at all. In an instant, it was about to disappear into the forest.
“Sure enough, an animal’s instinct is really strong! Chase it!” Ren Zhu carried the bamboo basket and ran. Qin Cong followed closely behind him.
If it were replaced with a rabbit, then it might have been very difficult for them to find the tracks. However, this was a relatively large juvenile pig; its footprints imprinted into the soil couldn’t be any clearer. The two of them followed the footprints and ran wildly into the dense forest.
While running, Ren Zhu suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed a little familiar. However, this was only a split second of doubt; he still hadn’t reacted yet. After entering the dense part of the forest, they could see the mountain wall hidden behind the trees in the distance. When young master Qin happily shouted “The pig is over there!”, Ren Zhu’s heart trembled violently and he immediately triggered the ‘class teacher’s detailed perception’ skill.
After only looking for a few moments, Ren Zhu already had an answer. However, he still quickly went up to help Qin Cong catch the pig.
After that fat white pig was caught, it let out a mournful cry and firmly bit onto the shrubs covering the forest floor, refusing to let go. After Qin Cong and Ren Zhu worked together to drag it for some distance, Ren Zhu suddenly said: “Let it go.”
Young master Qin almost thought he was hallucinating: “What did you say?”
“Let it go. It can be considered as a hero.”
Young master Qin’s mouth twitched: “Do you know how much pork ribs, stews, cold dishes and dumpling filling you’re letting go?!”
Hearing this, Ren Zhu’s mouth also twitched. He found that he didn’t quite want to let this pig go.
However, seeing the tangled look on Ren Zhu’s face, the young pig suddenly let out a cry and put up a fierce struggle. Qin Cong wasn’t paying attention and the pig escaped from his grasp, running off into the distance again. This time however, its direction was even deeper into the mountain.
Qin Cong: “………………………..” He looked accusingly at Ren Zhu. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Ren Zhu sighed, feeling that this might actually be God’s Will. “Well, if we run into a sheep or a cow or a pig on the way back, I’ll strike it dead with a stick.”
Young master Qin: “Humph!!”
While the two of them walked back, they were completely unaware of the joy and disappointment of the two organisation members monitoring them.
“Ai, that pig! It’s such a pity.”
“Right, right. However, it’s good that Ren Zhu’s attention was on the pig. He shouldn’t have remembered the location of our entrance, right?”
“He shouldn’t have. All the people who come to our base are blindfolded. Only the backbone of the organisation like us, as well as the elites can know the way in!”
“I hope that the pig will come back tonight. We can have an extra meal.”
“Right, right. You should directly stab the pig after you catch it. Those two clearly don’t have any experience catching pigs. They let so much meat run away.”
And at this moment, Ren Zhu was quietly telling Qin Cong his findings.
“That place should be the east entrance. I think I’ve been blindfolded and taken there before, so that part of the forest seemed a little familiar. I could see some traces of footprints in the soil there, and the plants are also trimmed. I’m certain the entrance is over there.”
“So that’s why you decided to let the pig go?” Qin Cong’s voice was a little strange. “You think it was the pig that pointed us in the right direction?”
“…… It’s not to that extent. I just think that it made a contribution, so we should give it a chance and let it go.” Ren Zhu felt that his words were very reasonable. “Also, do you see that big grey pig in front of us?!”
Young master Qin’s attention was drawn over and his eyes instantly lit up. That fully grown grey pig was several times bigger than the white juvenile pig from before! Although this pig was clearly not as quick-witted as the other one, it was a lot fiercer. In the end, Qin Cong directly took out his luxury edition silver tranquilliser gun from his waist and stunned the big fat pig.
Looking at this small mountain of meat, young master Qin cheerfully said: “We have enough meat for the next half a month!”
Ren Zhu decided that they should cook some more dishes when they get back. Who knows if they can continue to peacefully eat meat after tonight.
The two of them dragged the pig back using banana leaves and rope. Along the way, Ren Zhu asked: “Have you sent that location to Jack Chen’s group?”
Qin Cong’s eyes narrowed: “They know all the routes we travel and can also see us through the monitors, so they should already know the location…… Let’s cook some more meat tonight.”
Ren Zhu chuckled. Clearly, this person was also aware that something might happen tonight.
Ren Zhu and Qin Cong returned with their reward and were greeted like heroes by the children. The children first cheered and ran over when they saw them, but then their mouths dropped in shock upon seeing the big fat pig.
“Oh my God! This is a pig?! It’s so big ahhhh!”
“Teacher, you guys are so powerful! You could actually hunt such a big pig!”
“Let’s eat braised pork ribs tonight! Also, pork trotters! Braised pork!!”
“So powerful, so powerful! After we leave this island, I will learn some martial arts and take down a pig myself!”
Watching them from the side, Teacher Zhang Jun was completely dazed. As a refined and intellectual person, he simply couldn’t comprehend how someone could hunt such a large pig. As for Sports Teacher Zhong Da Li, he was drowning in sorrow —– why couldn’t he also go into the mountain and hunt a pig back?! He obviously had the strength!
Regardless, Class 4 and 5 had a very rich dinner that night —– braised pork ribs, marinated pork trotters, stir-fried pig liver, pig ear salad, and braised pork. Although they also had boiled prawns and shellfish soup, the children still fought over the meat. Braised pork ribs were the first to be demolished. In the end, even the green vegetables and radish were almost gone. All the meat had been eaten clean.
The children supported their stomachs in satisfaction as then leaned back in their chairs, not wanting to move.
The 4 teachers were not much better. Zhang Jun leaned back in his chair and taught the children to massage their stomachs to promote digestion. Afterwards, they all went to the beach to play before punctually returning at 9 o’clock to wash up and go the bed.
When Zhang Jun and Zhong Da Li took the Class 5 children back, Ren Zhu considered telling them that they should be vigilant during the night, but he quickly gave up on this idea. If the organisation uses sleeping gas, then they wouldn’t be able to fend against it anyway. They might as well……
Thinking in bed, Ren Zhu couldn’t seem to fall asleep. Qin Cong suddenly reached out and held his hand, softly saying: “Don’t worry. Tomorrow, everything will end.”
He has already been in touch with the outside world. By now, the major families should have all received the news and made preparations for what’s to come. As for the reason why they endured until now……
“Say, would we be able to find a list of the people in that organisation?”
Ren Zhu thought for a moment: “They should have a lot of confidential information and a list of names. However, if our speculations are correct, then the list of names will just be a secondary matter. What’s important is for us to capture the specialists who handle the psychological and drug related aspects. If not for them, then it would have been impossible for the organisation to operate without any notice. Judging from Ah Shu’s behaviour, the people responsible for hypnotising and drugging must be very powerful. Whatever the case, we must capture them as soon as possible and prevent them from ever committing evil again.”
Hearing this, Qin Cong laughed coldly in his heart and didn’t say anything. Capture them? No, those people should not be alive. He lightly touched his wrist watch before grasping Ren Zhu’s hand and closing his eyes.
In the middle of the night, 1 o’clock.
A rustling sound came from outside the window. Lying in bed, Qin Cong abruptly opened his eyes and pressed a button on his wrist watch. He then held his breath and calmly counted the seconds in his heart. Approximately one minute later, even the breath of the person beside him had become heavy. The bedroom door was then opened and a dozen people filed into the room.
“Quick, take one person each. Carry them all out.”
The leader’s voice was low and husky; the other people didn’t say a word. Qin Cong was also carried on the back of a big sturdy man. The second they walked out the door, he started to slowly breathe again.
“Boss, what should we do with this young master Qin? Should we also let Doctor Jason and Mr Zhou inject drugs and hypnotise him?”
Hearing this, the boss laughed: “Hehe, this is such a big catch. Of course we need to hypnotise him. Think about it; he is a rich and powerful person worth several tens of billion dollars. Even the money that casually slips through his fingers is enough for us to spend!”
Listening attentively on the big man’s back, Qin Cong’s lips slightly rose.
Taking him to see Doctor Jason and Mr Zhou…… This was really…… too good.
