128.Chapter 128: Welfare in the Last Days
Daddy's guess was right, Li Xiang's team did miss the alarm signal from the apartment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info At that time they were rounding up a litter of wild boars in the woods. With the intelligence of a wild boar, he could not understand the slogan of surrender or killing, and when everyone was in a hurry, they did not notice the fleeting signal in the distant sky.
Compared with yesterday, the harvest of the hunting team today was very rich, not only caught a large four, a small and five live wild boars, but also brought back seven or eight hares. Among them, the trap left by yesterday played a big role. Even so, several people were slightly injured during the pursuit, and one of them fell down the hill with a wild boar.
It can be seen that catching alive is always a very dangerous thing. And for this reason, Rogge, who originally wanted to show off his archery skills, didn't take the opportunity to perform at all, and ran with it for a day in vain, although Zheng Yu was courteous before and after running, he was still depressed.
When they returned to the apartment, the hunting party knew what had happened, and their excitement vanished.
The five-person group got back together, but this time the Duke and Ding Chen were also present. It's a pity that these two don't wear red scarves and don't wear good clothes.
To be honest, it was easy to understand that the Duke was in attendance, after all, it was he who discovered that someone was spying on him. But it's more strange that Ding Chen is also there.
After listening to the duke's detailed description of the process of discovering someone peeping, several people looked at each other, and the old man asked Ding Chen, "Did you find anything?" ā
"Nope." Ding Chen said very simply. The answer was not good for the duke, but he did not want to mislead others.
"Maybe it's someone passing by." Li Xiang said. The duke has always been a warrior who follows him, so it is natural to stand up for the scene at this time.
Dad nodded, asked the duke to go back to rest first, and then said to Li Xiang: "Arrange a few more people to be on duty at night." ā
"I'll do it too." Ding Chen took the initiative to ask.
Dad thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said to Ye Dai: "The day after tomorrow, Xu Shuidong will have people send the first batch of guns, how are the bullets prepared?" ā
"In the afternoon, it's nine hundred and eighty-eight." Ye Dai said: "It should be more than a thousand now." ā
Daddy silently calculated in his heart, nodded and said, "It's getting faster and faster." He looked at a few people and said, "Don't go out tomorrow, wait a few days." ā
"What about the fruit grove?" Hoss said. October is the last harvest of the orchards, and in addition to the peaches that have already been picked, the apples and grapes used to make wine every year are picked during this time, and if they are delayed, these fruits will rot quickly.
The wine here has always been very popular with caravanserans, and even people from the old city often come to exchange it, which is considered a stable source of money, and Hoss will of course be very worried that sudden accidents will affect the project.
Daddy frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow." ā
Ye Dai did not participate in the night duty, in the apartment, she was not the best fighter, whether she was there or not, it had little impact on combat effectiveness. But the work of reloading bullets is inseparable from her. Tomorrow the residents of the apartment will stop going out to work, and most of them will be sent underground to learn how to reload bullets, and she will be in charge.
Ding Chen installed four lamps on the roof of the building, and used reflectors to concentrate the light to make searchlights. He pulled the line in front of the building and brought the light directly to the side of the road, directly blocking the hope of someone approaching the building in the dark.
I don't know if these measures worked, but the night was calm and nothing unusual happened.
In the early hours of the morning, Ding Chen, who was napping with a rifle on the roof of the building, looked at the lights downstairs and began to regret it, although there were these lights, outsiders could not approach the apartment, but if someone was secretly observing the apartment, he could not sneak out.
The Duke was also on the roof, and his mood was a little more complicated than the others, and he saw that the sky had begun to turn white, and the night was about to pass. He couldn't bear it a little impatiently, and came to Ding Chen's side and complained, "I really found someone peeping. ā
"I believe in you." Ding Chen said with his eyes closed. There were six people on the roof now, and he was taking turns resting, and he really didn't want to waste time sleeping.
Unfortunately, the duke was not interested, and still chattered: "Everyone will think that I am suspicious. ā
"Listen." Ding Chen opened his eyes and looked at him, "I'd rather someone be suspicious than be touched under my nose." He said, "So don't ink." ā
The duke was stunned for a moment, in the impression of everyone in the apartment, Ding Chen was a young man with a good temper, and this was the first time that Ding Chen showed a strong style, which really made him very uncomfortable.
At breakfast the next day, several people on the night shift looked a little wilted. The main reason is that the night was too peaceful, there was not even a birdman, and everyone really couldn't cheer up.
Ding Chen asked for a bowl of hot soup, and swallowed the steamed bun in two bites, planning to go back to make up for sleep, but when he didn't expect to deliver the tableware, Carlo asked, "Do you have something to do today?" ā
"No...... bar. Ding Chen spread his hands and said, "I don't know either." ā
Carlo laughed and said to him, "Come with me to pick fruit." She said, "Drive that electric car." When she talked about the car, her eyes lit up and she showed a wistful look, "I haven't been in a car yet." ā
Ding Chen was almost amused by her appearance, and said that it is worth yearning for an electric tricycle?
Karlo noticed the strange expression on his face, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by that?" ā
Ding Chen sighed and said very seriously: "If it was in the past, a beautiful girl like you, even a four-wheeled car would not be able to be picked up casually. Four laps are about the same. ā
Although Carlo didn't understand what he meant, he could still hear the praise for his beauty, and he immediately became happy and asked, "Is that okay?" ā
"Of course." Ding Chen nodded, thinking that he could soak a girl with three rounds of electricity, what else could this be in the last days?
After listening to Carlo's request to go out, Dad pondered for a long time before asking Ding Chen, "What do you think?" ā
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Ding Chen said: "I don't think anyone will deliberately ambush us. ā
Daddy nodded and said to Carlo, "You go and call Li Xiang." ā
After Carlo left, he said to Ding Chen, "Be careful. I'll let the patrol come with you. ā
"I understand." Ding Chen nodded and said, "If the situation is not right, I will bring her back." ā
Daddy snorted. Of course he believed in Ding Chen's ability, and if the person who went out with him was not Carlo, he would definitely not be so worried.
The people in the apartment today are not ready to go out to work, but since strangers have appeared nearby, of course it is necessary to figure it out. So Li Xiang personally took a few people to form a patrol and set off with Ding Chen. They will protect Ding Chen and Carlo to the fruit grove and then leave to patrol.
The off-road ability of the electric tricycle is not good, but the fruit forest is not far from the road, and the ground between the trees is also flat, so Ding Chen drove the car directly into the fruit forest.
Rogge didn't come with him this time, except for Zheng Yu, the people in the patrol team had the opportunity to ride in the car for the first time. In order to save electricity, everyone just took turns to sit on it and have a good time, in order to let everyone follow on foot, Ding Chen controlled the speed of the car all the way, so no one could experience the thrill of flying the car, and they all expressed emotional stability.
When they arrived at the fruit grove, everyone first helped Carlo pick up the fruit for a while, took the opportunity to rest for a while, and then parted and left. In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the forest, Ding Chen and Carlo.
