Chapter 51: Preparing to Leave
With a pop, Li Qing was wearing only a pair of shorts and plunged headlong into the deep pool below the cliff.
His head injury had healed, I don't know if it was the effect of the herbs, or his skin resistance was different from ordinary people, in short, there was no scar left at all.
On this day, he and Mera drove the ox cart back to the place where they had fallen into the water, wanting to see if there was anything else to salvage.
Walking to the foot of the waterfall, there is a deep pool below, which is much deeper than the average small lake after years of erosion of the water.
Under the splashing water, Li Qing and the others could vaguely see that at the bottom of the black pool, a car was parked.
That's Li Qing's pickup truck, now that I've found it!
Li Qing's diving skills are not very good, he tried several times before he reluctantly got off the pickup truck, and went back and forth several times before he figured out what was on the car.
The two boxes of energy coins that he and Mera took were valuable, but I didn't expect them to be left in the car intact.
It's a pity that it's too heavy, and it's too difficult to lift it up by diving, so they found two long ropes, which Li Qing dived down to tie them up and pull them up.
Back in the village, Li Qing counted the number of these two boxes of energy coins together, and it is estimated that he will not be able to use them up in a lifetime.
But there are still a lot of such things to go back, Li Qing thought about it, and still took half of it out of each box and distributed it to the people of Bianxi.
The amount allocated to each family can be used for many years if you use it on a daily basis.
Next, Li Qing received the remaining energy coins into a box and packed the luggage for these days.
According to the half-year deadline, there are still three days, and the people in the casting area should arrive and get ready to go back.
Sure enough, three days later, in the early morning, a convoy slowly drove from the west.
All the people in Bianxi put down their work and went out to greet them.
A total of five people were sent from the Forge District, led by a skinny middle-aged man named Xianda, who was a captain of the guard guarding the bottom floor of the ruins.
The remaining four are all lowest-level rotation guards, and they usually do some unimportant work guarding the ruins.
After getting out of the car, Xianda glanced around, beckoned a little girl over, and threw the coat to the child.
"Is the accommodation all arranged?" Xianda shouted to the crowd with a look of disdain.
"Ready, sir, the room is the best we've ever had, come with me." An older aunt said with her back hunched.
"That's pretty much it, let's go! It's a big wind and sand on the way, and I have to take a shower when I get there. β
"Okay, sir, I'll let my old man boil water. The aunt hunched her back and walked in front of Xianda with difficulty.
Xianda walked a few steps proudly, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "My brothers... You can serve it too! β
The others hurried up to greet and take the luggageγγγγγγ
"Are they visiting the people? Is that the attitude? Li Qing asked Haning angrily.
"It's always been like this, we're all used to it." Haning said helplessly.
After they settled down and took a hot shower, they instructed everyone: "There are some emergency vegetables and fruits in the car, which are all the intentions of the head of the casting and refining area, you go and take them down and divide them." β
Everyone thanked each other and hurried to the car to unload the goods.
When I got it in my hand, I found that the so-called fruits were all half-rotten; The vegetables have also wilted; Rice is also wormed.
There is nothing else but these, and less pitiful.
Although everyone was dissatisfied, they didn't dare to express it, so they could only silently collect it and feed the sheep.
"Hey, old woman, roast us a lamb and steak, the brothers are hungry." Xianda sat on the sofa specially prepared for him and shouted at the busy aunt in the yard.
"Okay, I'll be right here..." The aunt hunched her back and hurriedly ran towards the sheepfold.
"I don't know if Che Zhuzhi knows that the people they sent are here to rely on their power and oppress the people." Li Qing said angrily to Mera.
"I'll tell my father when I go back, they've gone too far!"
"You don't care about this for now," Haning ran in nervously with a bunch of things, "change these clothes first, you have to pretend that you want to go to work in the casting area Bianxi people, and they will take you away." β
Haning brought a bunch of clothes worn by the people of Bianxi, "No matter how bad their attitude is, as long as they endure it, they will be able to go back soon." β
After three days, Xianda should have rested enough, and he was almost tired of eating meat, so he began to get down to business.
In the afternoon of the same day, a pergola was erected in the center of Bianxi Village, and Xianda drank tea and began to recruit workers to go to the casting area.
In the past, it would only be a few years before so many people came, but this time it has not been a year since the last time people were recruited.
Therefore, when Li Qing and Meila appeared, Xianda's face was obviously very unsightly.
"It's really unlucky, it's okay to have a good rest!" Hsien Da grumbled as he pulled out a record book.
"What's your name?"
"Ha Qing, this is my sister, Ha Mei." Li Qing made up a random name that looked like a villager in Bianxi.
"Who are the parents?"
"I don't have parents, I was taken care of by my sister Haning since I was a child."
"This person is familiar, why do you want to go to the Casting Area?"
"I want to go to work."
"It's very hardworking, you are the life of the work!" Xianda recorded and said, "Alright, let's go back first!" Two days later, pack your bags and leave on time. β
"Okay." Li Qing and Mera turned to leave.
"Wait!" Xianda finally looked up, just in time to see Mera, and her eyes instantly began to glow.
"This is your sister?"
Li Qing protected Meila behind him, and said with a gloomy face: "That's right, what do you want?" β
Li Qing has long been holding back his anger and has nowhere to vent, if this Xianda is looking for trouble, he will definitely not be spared!
"Brother-in-law, I want to find our sister to accompany me, this day, I am surrounded by old aunts, and I am tired of seeing them."
"Who is your brother-in-law! Keep your mouth clean! Li Qing shouted at him angrily.
"Little brother, little brother! How about letting your sister stay with me for one night? "Hsien Da is simply a bastard with no discipline.
Li Qing couldn't take it anymore, so he took a step forward and grabbed him by the collar - Xianda's height was less than Li Qing's shoulders - and lifted him up in the air.
Then he threw it hard, and his whole body flew out, and immediately smashed the wooden table behind him, and spilled the tea.
"You, you kid dare to hit me!" Xianda obviously hadn't encountered this kind of thing, and he bared his teeth in pain, "Brothers, give it to me!" β
His brothers, the so-called brothers, were only temporarily pulled over to do this errand, and they didn't know him very well, and now, they didn't know where to be lazy.
Xianda shouted so loudly that his voice was almost hoarse, and no one came, but there were more and more people around Bianxi.
Li Qing sneered, went up and stepped on his chest, and at the same time reached out and pulled out the scimitar from behind his back, and thrust it hard, the bright tip of the knife flew by Xianda's ear, next to his head, and inserted three inchesγγγγγγ
Li Qing gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "What are you?" If you want to go back alive, be honest with me, otherwise, I don't know how to die! β
