Chapter 14: Xingyue's warning
"Bang!" A popping sound sounded on the surface of the water, and Li Qing stood at the water's edge, squinting at the γγγγγγ
On one side of the lake, there is a large willow tree with a trunk leaning above the lake.
Li Qing found a rope, tied one end to a tree, and the other end to a stone, so that the stone hung straight into the lake, and with the light of the plankton in the lake, a perfect stone target was ready.
Li Qing came here at night, and he has been practicing non-stop for more than a month, and his seemingly peaceful life has also experienced a lot of turmoil during this period, but it has been covered by the endless night.
Tomorrow is the day of the assessment. Li Qing sat at the water's edge, his mind as calm as the water of this lake, he touched the ruler in his hand, and quietly waited for the dawn to comeγγγγγγ
One day half a month ago, after lunch, Li Qing was about to start his afternoon work, when there was a commotion among the pioneers who were resting not far away.
"Whose lady is this? How did you get here? β
"yes?"
"Such a beautiful young lady, is it a mistake?"
People gathered to see what was going on. Cangyan also ran over to join in the fun, and after a while, the crowd made a way, and Cangyan ran out of it, followed by a girl - it was Xingyue.
Li Qing stood up, Cangyan had already run over, and said excitedly: "Li Qing, this woman said she was looking for you, do you know her?" β
"Acquaintance." Li Qing admits that she knows Xingyue, but she doesn't know why Xingyue is here.
Xingyue walked over, chatted a few words, and walked with Li Qing to the mountains in the work area.
Among the surrounding pioneers, the number of old and weak women and children was the largest, and some middle-aged aunts saw this scene and asked Ling Qi about the relationship between the girl and Li Qing.
Since ancient times, pioneers have never interacted with people from other classes, and even if they are in the same area, the two sides have not befriended each other because of their different status.
Moreover, in their impression, Li Qing is still the boy who doesn't say a word, how can a girl take the initiative to find him? And she is still such a noble girl.
Suzu Qi didn't pay attention to these people, so he suffered Cangyan and Yaze, who didn't know anything, and were troubled by the aunts for several days.
Li Qing and Xingyue came to a deserted valley, and the dim sun was overhead, shining red on this piece of mountain rocks.
Xingyue spoke first: "Li Qing, I heard that you have been practicing well recently. β
"It's okay, Suzuchi found me a good place."
"That's good, I'll be relieved." Xingyue nodded and said, Li Qing could see that she was still apologizing for what had happened before.
"The previous things are over, don't take it to heart," Li Qing comforted her and said, "I have to thank you anyway, by the way, why did you come here?" Is there anything you want me to do? β
"Originally, my father was coming, but I was very worried about you, and wanted to come by myself, and I begged him for a long time before he agreed."
"I don't have anything to worry about, I've been fine lately, so don't worry."
"I know, you have so many friends? I'm worried about it too, it's just γγγγγγ Xingyue said hesitantly.
"Just what?"
"My father asked me to tell you that you must be vigilant when the assessment is approaching!"
Xing Yue saw Li Qing's surprised expression and continued, "My father has seen more than once that Zou Yuan and the people in charge of this assessment are together and chatting very intimately, so my father found an opportunity to eavesdrop on the sidelines, and heard your name in their mouths. β
"It's Zou Yuan again!" Li Qing said in an atmospheric manner.
"It's definitely not a good thing for them to talk about you at this time, you have had a conflict with Zou Yuan before, so they will definitely not let you pass the assessment, Li Qing, you must be careful!"
"Well, I know it's here, Xingyue, thank you, and your father. They want to calculate me, so let them come, I'm not afraid of anything now! β
"Here's for you." Xingyue pulled out a silver cylindrical energy coin.
"I don't need this, you take it back!" Li Qing decisively refused, Ling Qi used only a thin piece of energy coins at home, and the one that Xingyue gave him was too valuable.
"I'm afraid that they will harm you at night, I heard that you were attacked by dark ghosts before, and I can protect you at this critical time, you can take it!"
"Xingyue, have you forgotten that when I used to go to your house to practice, it was not always at night? Am I fine? β
"But γγγγγγ"
"Okay, you take back the things, I received your wishes, it's not too early, you go home quickly! Obedient. β
Li Qing pulled Xingyue all the way to the entrance of the station, not paying any attention to the strange eyes cast by the pioneers next to him.
It wasn't until watching Xingyue's back disappear at the end of the road that Li Qing returned to the quarry, found Ling Qi, and explained to him Xingyue's intention.
"Xingyue is right, we must be vigilant, be careful." Ling Qi said solemnly.
"I know, but if they want the Dark Ghost to kill me, then the result will only be to disappoint them." Li Qing said confidently.
On the other side of the mountain, in a small two-story building, Zou Yuan and several men sat inside. There was a fire in the house. But the doors and windows were shut, and there were men standing guard at the door, and no one was allowed to come near.
"Captain, what do you say, let's do it!" A pale-faced man said.
"You guys are also brothers who have been with me for so many years, and if I have something to say, I'll just say it." Zou Yuan sat in the middle, his gaze swept over his brothers one by one.
"Captain, just say it, brothers, listen to you." Another man with a beer belly said.
"Okay, who do I have a grudge with, you won't know it, just that Li Qing, he provoked me, and he still wants to join the shooting team? Isn't this a dream? β
Zou Yuan said arrogantly, "What kind of thing is Li Qing?" The whole pioneer is a litter of ants, he is the most inconspicuous one, and I want him to disappear now! β
After Zou Yuan finished speaking, no one responded to the silence in the room.
After a long time, the white-faced man spoke: "Captain, killing people is to pay for their lives, that Commander Zuo, and Li Qing's sister, Ling Qi, the relationship seems to be unusual, if we are discovered, it will not end well!"
"You're not stupid? Do you think I look like a fool? Zou Yuan glared at the white-faced man and said.
"No, no, I said the wrong thing, Captain, what do you mean?"
"Don't you have a natural killer? Fools will get their hands dirty. Zou Yuan said.
"The captain meant to make the dark ghosts γγγγγγ" The pot-bellied man on the side said, "But I heard that this kid Li Qing was killed by his friend before, and he met a dark ghost outside at night, and he didn't come home all night, what happened?" It's still alive, and we still use this trick, can it work? β
"Can you compare me to his unproductive friends?" Zou Yuan slapped the length of the table, and the tea was spilled on the ground.
"Don't dare, don't dare, his friends are really thick-skinned enough, and they can still have the face to stay together after betraying their friends... The pot-bellied man said carefully.
"I heard that Li Qing's temperament has changed greatly since that night, and he is completely different from before, and he has forgotten everything!" The white-faced man continued.
"Huh, really? This time we are out, and I want to make him completely finished from temperament to flesh - live, I want to see ghosts, and die, I want to see corpses. Zou Yuan said fiercely.
