169. Chapter 169: Distribution
Ling Lan pushed the door in, and when she saw this scene, she showed a smile that inquired about gossip.
"Ouch, excuse me, do I have to knock on the door first?"
"Where do you think you're going?" Yi Chen coughed unnaturally and diverted the topic: "How is Cheng Xianglong now?" ”
"Yes, I have undergone surgery and my condition is stable. However, according to his injury, even if he was injected with a strengthening agent to improve his physique, it is estimated that he will have to recuperate here for ten days and a half months. Ling Lan said.
Yi Chen nodded.
"What's next? Ling Zhe and the others are still in the tunnel near the Luojiang Bridge, and they don't know if the others have returned safely......" Ling Lan was a little worried.
Two days have passed, and the time is not long, but it is not short, and many things can happen during this period.
This is indeed a big problem. Yi Chen pondered for a long time and said, "Next, the soldiers will be divided into three ways." Cheng Xianglong can't leave here for the time being, so you can stay with him. Fang Xuan and Yan Huang have cars, and after the mountain people clear the passage at the entrance of the cottage, they can let them send my sister and Mu Qing to Xijing first. ”
"What about you?" Mu Qing couldn't help but interject and ask.
"I'm going to go back and find Ling Zhe and them. The road is far away, if they don't find the car, they have to ask the mountain people here to help, and send someone to arrange a car with me, which is indeed more troublesome......" Yi Chen had a little headache. There are too many inconveniences in the last days, and communication and transportation are big problems.
"I'll go back with you." Mu Qing proposed. She had known Fang Xuan and Yan Huang for a few days, and she was wary; In addition, she has a certain dependence on Yi Chen and does not want to be separated from him.
"Zishan County is already very close to Xijing, so there is no need to go back." Yi Chen said.
"Then why did you bring me in the first place? I mean--I don't have any skills, and I can't share it for you......" Mu Qing asked as she bit her lip. She didn't know what she was messing with, but she suddenly wanted to hear the answer.
"I want to send you and Yi Lin to Xijing as soon as possible." Yi Chen replied.
"You are very important to me, and if I don't take good care of you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. The Future Group also has power in Xijing, and your father turned out to be a high-level executive, so they should place you well. My sister is too young, and it is safe to follow me, so I have to take care of you and help me inquire about my father's situation. ”
That's all? Mu Qing was a little disappointed, and her bright eyes dimmed a little.
He wanted to keep her safe, but from another point of view, wouldn't this mean to draw a line and separate as soon as possible?
She is a young lady who is excellent in all aspects and lacks nothing. The mistake was just that I met him.
If it weren't for him, even if Nanchuan would fall sooner or later, then she should be in a safe place with her father now, instead of following him around.
Yi Chen didn't want Mu Qing to suffer, but he didn't think about her mood in reverse. To be precise, he may not dare to think in that direction.
Mu Qing quickly adjusted her mood and showed a smile: "Alas, it's better not to ask." ”
At least when Yi Chen pulled her away domineeringly, she really had the idea of following him to the end of the world without hesitation.
"What?"
"It's nothing. Leave your sister to me, and I'll find a way to find out about your father. Mu Qing patted her chest.
"Thank you in advance."
Ling Lan listened beside her, quite speechless. The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and she sees their affairs most clearly.
There's a kind of boy called elm pimple, and there's something called a girl's mind, don't guess. Yes, if the relationship between the two of them is not clear, it is difficult to advance.
However, since Yi Chen's mother's death has something to do with Mu Zongxing, it is unlikely that he will say anything to Mu Qing now. It will take time for him to heal his injuries little by little.
Fortunately, Mu Qing is a smart and considerate girl, although she is also young and ignorant in terms of feelings, she will not embarrass herself and Yi Chen.
Maybe it's really good for both of you to be separated now.
Qiao Mu was also in the hospital at this time, and he brought food to visit the injured alliance members. Several people have broken legs and are now in a cast, have limited mobility and need to be cared for.
As soon as Yi Chen and Ling Lan followed Yan Huang into the large ward, they felt the opposing gazes cast around them. If their eyes can kill, it is estimated that several blood holes will be poked out of their bodies!
"Wow, what does it smell so good?" Ling Lan's stomach rumbled. As the only woman, she also wanted to take advantage of this to talk about light-hearted topics and liven up the awkward atmosphere.
"Horse meat stew." Qiao Mu's face twitched obviously.
Thanks to Yi Chen, the only remaining horses in Zishan County all broke their legs overnight. It is useless to live without legs, and they have not opened meat for a long time, so they are all slaughtered and eaten for meat.
It's good that Ling Lan didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned this, the arbor was angry, and he couldn't wait to bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
Horses are an important resource for their alliance! Even in the difficult period of lack of food and clothing, they were not willing to take these uninfected horses to the exchange market.
The power supply in Zishan County is insufficient, and there are only a few places that can maintain normal operation and maintenance, and gasoline and vehicles are also very scarce. They prefer a more retro way of traveling, such as horseback riding.
Horses have to eat grass, and they can solve this problem as well.
In Zishan County, there is a peculiar scenery. The narrowest place between the two mountains, due to the landslide in the early years, was blocked by a large section of rocks, stuck in the air, forming a natural large "cap".
It used to be a dangerous area, and the county authorities proposed that the rock be blown open in case it fell and injured someone. It's just that this proposal has been dragged on for some years, and then there is no news.
The mountain people didn't care - they were careful, and they could build their houses away from there.
After the end of the world, the land under the "cap" was spared, unpolluted by the black rain, and the vegetation survived. That's where the fodder for the horses comes from.
Of course, that small space is not enough to maintain the status quo. Qiao Mu can only comfort himself: now that the horses are dead, that piece of land can be turned over and weededed, and vegetables can be planted to raise people in the future.
Of course, Ling Lan didn't expect that the words she wanted to liven up the atmosphere would make the scene even more embarrassing. She laughed twice, not daring to say more.
However, Yan Huang took the call and asked when the village would be cleared up, so that they could return to Xijing.
"According to the schedule, it will be almost ready tomorrow morning." Qiao Mu said.
If Yan Huang can return to Xijing as soon as possible, he can cash in the materials and health boosters he promised to compensate as soon as possible, and Qiao Mu also hopes that Qinglu's actions will be faster.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for what happened that night. I'll do that later. Yi Chen said sincerely.
The reason why it became like this is also because of him.
