Chapter 193: The Story King Lao He
The sudden typhoon broke all the original arrangements, and the old village chief also sent someone to come over in the rain to explain to them that there is no signal on the island now, so that they don't have to worry about it for the time being.
At the same time, he also said that the house they live in now can be said to be the best house in the village, and the quality can definitely be guaranteed, and finally it also shows that this is really an accident, there are usually no typhoons every winter, and they have lived for so many years, and they have not encountered a few times.
Knowing that they were worried that this would detract from the investment impression, Teng Shuyue comforted them that they didn't have to worry, and they also came to deliver a letter in such bad weather, so they couldn't run in vain, Teng Shuyue also took a two packs of snacks that Mr. He bought and brought over, stuffed them for the man and left in a hurry.
He Zhen boiled water over there, using gas, he was afraid that he would not even be able to supply gas at night, and he would not talk about heating at that time, and he was afraid that he would not even have hot water.
Teng Shuyue didn't dare to make trouble when he didn't work, so he behaved very steadily, took some water for backup, and the two of them arranged in an orderly manner, and after they were almost ready, after counting what they didn't have to do, they simply hugged each other in a daze.
Time passed quickly, and the two of them almost took a nap, and they already clearly felt the weather changes outside, especially the wind speed reversal began to blow chaotically, the windows were blowing, and the waves outside visible to the naked eye set off huge waves, crashing against the rocks on the shore.
They live high here, and they see far away, but they can't reach it for a while, but the only feeling is that the wind and rain are heavy, and they don't have the intention of stopping for the time being.
The two of them lay side by side on the bed, chatting casually, "You said we can't go back now, do you have to do something in the next few days?"
"Are you worried?"
"Don't worry, the journey is not to face all kinds of situations, if it's just smooth sailing and stop-and-go, then why don't I sign up for a tour group?" Teng Shuyue pouted, "You won't be afraid, right?" ”
"Do you know why He Siheng is reluctant to go to Africa, but he would rather go himself than let me go again?" Although He Zhen didn't want to mention his nephew at this time, he thought of this and said it by the way.
"How?"
"A few years when he was still in high school, at that time my sister was going to send him to Eton College, you know it was the aristocratic school, after I asked for his opinion, of course he didn't want to go, it did cultivate a lot of outstanding talents, but it will also wear out a child's personality, he himself said that if he doesn't want to go, then he won't go, I naturally respect him. ”
He Zhen thought about the scene at that time, "At that time, the country signed projects with several African countries to support infrastructure, and the group participated in the mining and transportation of several mines, the project was very large, and the characters involved were bigger than the other, one side was a king, and that side was a president, plus their country was in civil strife, and in a few days they could still get a rebel army and an armed military department, so I had no choice but to go over and talk about it in person, and something happened this time." ”
Teng Shuyue was very interested at first, but as soon as he heard that something was wrong, he grabbed his broad, dry and warm hand a little anxiously, "What happened?"
"People from several factions are vying for a position to mine quickly, and they are going to threaten to blow up our mine if they can't make sense, and at that time our equipment has been pulled over, and people have gone down, and there should be incitement from other countries, which makes things very complicated, but we also have formal procedures, and we are also reasonable. As a result, this group of people forced us to do free work for them, and the minerals dug up had to be sold to them, but they didn't say the price, and to put it bluntly, it was actually a free gift, but we couldn't do it, so we stalemate. ”
"At that time, I was also young and vigorous, and I didn't think so much, so I contacted mercenaries and people at the national level, including the embassy, and I said at that time that I would rather not do the project, and I would not let our workers be threatened with their lives over there, so I negotiated and dissuaded it, and finally mediated for almost half a month, and in the end I didn't know which level went wrong, and they fought on their own. ”
"What?" Teng Shuyue frowned, "You guys stopped working, and they fought on their own, is it right on the mine?"
"Yes, all kinds of shells are coming, there is an armed conflict between the two sides, and we can't watch it when we see that we are really going to blow up the ore vein, and the government army has also sent people over, anyway, it's chaotic, and in the end there are people who support a certain faction among the mercenaries, and they can't stand it, and in the end they don't know how to fight. "Then I was stunned by the sudden cannonball, thankfully it didn't affect my life, but more unfortunate things were yet to come." ”
"And?" Teng Shuyue really began to feel sorry for him, "A wave of unevenness and a wave of rise?"
"Well, the local medical level is not good, but my subordinates are afraid that I will really hurt my head, and they don't dare to drive me to a city with better medical conditions, one is afraid that I will encounter other armed groups on the way, and the other is that I am the person in charge and I can't leave them and leave, and then although my head is fine, I accidentally got more serious malaria. ”
"What?
"Yes, I can't imagine it, I was in their hospital, and I could still get this disease, but it may also have a lot to do with the unclean local food, after all, they found me a person to cook and take care of me during that time, and later I heard that the aunt was sick and didn't say anything, and she died of eating earthworks. ”
"Dead?"
He Zhen nodded "um", "Everyone knows that this disease is difficult to treat, so they want to hide it, after all, the salary we hire her for a few dozen dollars a day can make their family spend a month." ”
Teng Shuyue's mood was a little heavy, "Then how did you heal later?" ”
"So it can also be said that my luck is also good, it is impossible for the people in the embassy to let the person in charge of the domestic enterprise die in another country, and He's has been developing very well over the years, so I inquired about the location of the blue helmet medical team, which is not far from us, and then I went there for treatment, they have special medicine, and it didn't take a few days to cure. ”
"But the veins were messed up by them, and their country compensated us for our equipment, and then they compensated for another mine, which looked quite small at the time and didn't seem to be worth much, but who would have thought that tanzanite would be dug up over there later. He Zhen hooked his lips, "That's right, it's the material on the tie clip you gave me." ”
Teng Shuyue heard him say this, and her mood was very complicated for a while, she grinded her teeth in anger, and said hatefully: "Evil capitalist!"
After hearing this, He Zhen coaxed her in a low voice, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you if you like it, the tanzanite produced over there has also been exported to Europe, and it can be sold at a high price over there, especially in recent years." ”
"But no matter how good and profitable the production there is, it is not as beautiful as the one you gave me, and it is also the most popular with me. He Zhen dropped a broken kiss on the top of her hair, and said with a smile, "People too." ”
