Chapter 203: Good News
When Lin Ruoshi and the others left, Mei Lin grabbed Zhang Jianing's arm, comforted her, and told her to dissipate her anger and not be as knowledgeable as those snobs.
Zhang Jianing glanced at me gratefully, she and Lin Ruoshi knew each other earlier than me, they had lived in the bandits' den together, but they were two types of people.
"Sang Rou, thank you, those women came on purpose to find fault, they saw that Brother Ye and Brother Xia sent a lot of food to Jiajia, and they were all about to get pink eye!"
Mei Lin's personality originally became a little quiet due to the twists and turns she experienced, but she didn't expect to regain her former momentum when she came out for Zhang Jianing.
I didn't know that Zhang Jianing's popularity was so good, but after listening to Mei Lin, I realized that not only Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan asked her to wash clothes, but also Cong Tianyi and Liu Bai.
Zhang Jianing has good marksmanship, and occasionally participates in their short-distance hunting, and it is normal for the relationship to be good, but it is good enough to help wash clothes, and it doesn't seem to be enough.
As mutant beasts became more and more difficult to catch, Zhang Jianing hadn't gone out hunting for some days.
She has no special abilities, it is very dangerous to go out, Ye Lei and they want to take care of her, there is nothing wrong with her, but she has her own things to do every day, Cong Tianyi and they also trouble her to wash her clothes, although it is a reward, it is also a little strange.
I didn't ask Zhang Jianing, and when Liu Bai, Cong Tianyi and others came back from hunting in the evening, I called them together with Li Duo, and asked Zhang Jianing to wash the clothes of several of them alone, as a friend, I would definitely not do this.
Under my questioning, a few people finally relented, saying that they just didn't want to wash it with Tuolin Ruoshi, and if Zhang Jianing felt too tired and troublesome, they could wash it themselves.
The people involved in the hunt often go out, unlike people who can't afford to pay for laundry, I noticed that they didn't say anything, so I lowered my face, Liu Bai was the one who couldn't hide his words, he was the first to speak under my silent pressure.
As a result, Lin Ruoshi and her sisters promoted another service every time they took over the laundry business, and their enthusiasm followed the hair salon.
Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan are honest children, how can they stand this enthusiasm, they ran away with a red face several times, and they didn't dare to go again.
Liu Bai and Cong Tianyi have developed a habit in the army and refuse all opportunities to make mistakes, but after all, this is a voluntary transaction between the two parties, and they don't want to become informants because of this.
I only know that there is a legendary shampoo room, but I didn't expect a laundry room to come out today, and there will be a public place that is not dirty in the future?
Ye Lei and they really think that Zhang Jianing is a friend, and every time they trouble her to wash clothes, they will bring her a lot of things, and they try to change their clothes every once in a while.
Lin Ruoshi and the others saw that Zhang Jianing only paid the hard work of washing clothes and earning money for their special services, and their hearts were naturally unbalanced, so they had the drama of making trouble by the river during the day.
I just nodded my head and said I understood, I thought the group of women had stopped, but they were secretly under my nose.
I don't care what happens in other camps, but in our camp, there is no room for these messes, and I can't arrest people based on the testimony of a few people.
If I break through now, even if I break into their affairs, people say that the two of them are in a normal relationship and kiss me, but it seems that I am unreasonable and like a nosy neurosis.
I dug out the radios I had collected, which had a recording function, and I hid them in the living room of the laundry room and dived in the next day when they went out.
It's enough to have a conversation with the evidence of the send, I'm not interested in hearing about their deeper privacy, sometimes I can't understand Lin Ruoshi, there are more men and fewer women in a small town, and they are young and beautiful, isn't it good to find someone to settle down and live a down-to-earth life?
But when I played the recording in front of them, I finally heard the truth from their mouths, and since Lin Ruoshi failed to hook up with Gu Yu, they knew that it would be difficult to replace me as the city lord's wife.
In this case, with their appearance, how could they stay in a small town forever, doing business just to accumulate strength and leave the small town.
Beautiful women's ambitions are always big, but I don't know if their ideals are crooked, or I don't understand the world, I admit that I wouldn't have come to this point without Gu Yu's help, but I never thought about being a lady with peace of mind, living a life of food and clothing, and food to open my mouth.
The ancients had a foresight, so I asked them to leave immediately, and the things they earned during this time could be taken with them.
Some of the men who were accustomed to the sweetness and were dissatisfied with their departure, I said that if they wished, they could leave with them with their personal belongings.
Three of them packed up their things and left with them, and the remaining two, although they felt pity, did not dare to venture out into the world outside the city.
I thought that Lin Ruoshi would mobilize customers to be their bodyguards before leaving, they have a very good set of men, beauty knees, hero mounds, this kind of thing can't be stopped, and there is no need to stop it.
When Lin Ruoshi left, I told the others that the town welcomes female survivors, and I also want everyone to have their own homes and live a happy life, but it is absolutely not allowed to mess with the relationship between men and women.
Mei Lin also added that she was not interested in curing dirty diseases, and everyone still cherished life, as soon as Lin Ruoshi left, Zhang Jianing opened a laundry room at the request of everyone.
Mei Lin and Ah Ying occasionally helped, charging by the piece, they got two generators, washing large items in a washing machine, and hand washing small items, Xiang Yiyi would also help every two days, while Grandpa Han and Xiao Han became regular employees.
Laundry in the morning, cleaning the vegetable garden in the afternoon, both sides are not delayed, people love to sweat in hot weather, especially the team that hunts in the mountains, Zhang Jianing's business is particularly prosperous.
Although there are not many people in the small city, and the area is limited, the days are getting more and more fulfilling, and the week has passed in a blink of an eye, Shangguan Li and Hu Tao finally returned to the small city safely.
The seven men were clean and tidy when they left, but they came back like a bunch of wild men, but fortunately no one was hurt, and they brought back one man.
This man was crazy, his clothes were as tattered as strips of mop, and they tied his hands and feet, and Hu Tao and Cheng Yifeng carried him.
Hu Tao said that this person couldn't understand what others were saying, so he couldn't ask anything, so he could only put it in a single room in the hotel first.
The seven of them went home separately and took a shower and changed their clothes before coming to my room for a meeting, and I noticed that their backpacks were either empty or deflated, and it seemed that they didn't bring the source stone back.
Sitting down around the table in the room, Hu Tao glanced at Shangguan Li, who spoke and told the story of their trip.
With the teleportation egg in hand, it only took them a short time to move to that cave, the bottomless pit below was indeed very deep, about a thousand meters from the ground, when they went down, they saw the corpse of a mutant beast, which should be the one that Ye Lei and they beat down.
There were no ferocious beasts or monsters below, but the terrain was complicated, and they got lost in the labyrinthine underground forest, and just when they were desperate, Zhou Li found the madman trying to steal their backpack.
After the madman was discovered, he fled quickly, Hu Tao caught him with his ability, the madman didn't recognize people at all, and struggled very hard, Shangguan Li saw that he wanted to go back to a safe place, so it meant that he had a place to stay, so he let Hu Tao let him go, and they followed the madman to find the source stone mine, which was an extremely secret hole in a hole, and the surrounding rocky passages were like spider webs, if there was no madman to lead the way, they couldn't find a place for another week.
And they also found four graves in the cave, made of rubble, and on the top stood a stone the size of a watermelon, on which were engraved the name, birth and death of the deceased.
Shangguan Li said that the graves were piled up a few months before the end of the world, and since there were graves and there were no extra corpses, they speculated that at least one person had escaped.
I interrupted him and asked why the man who piled the grave wasn't the madman.
Shangguan Li said that because the madman escaped back to the cave, he hid next to a backpack, and there was a notebook in the backpack, which was flooded, and the contents were all unrecognizable, and the only thing that could be seen clearly was the year, month and day written on the title page, and the time was after the Spring Festival this year, so they thought that this backpack was a madman, and the madman entered the underground cave after the Spring Festival this year.
I remember Ye Lei said that they got the source stone from the nest of the mutant beast, the stone was wrapped in cloth, obviously someone took it out of the bottomless pit, but unfortunately it was intercepted by the mutant beast, the person is not known if he is alive or dead, but he must have been killed, and the person who brought out the stone was the one who piled the grave.
I asked Shangguanli if he had read anything from the madman's heart, and Shangguanli said that the madman's mind was full of symbols and formulas that he could not read, and it was in English, and this madman probably could not understand Chinese.
Fortunately, Shangguan Li's English is very good, but he is not a scientist, so the content he reads is still like a book from heaven.
It may not be impossible for foreign scientists to stay in China, but we must pay attention to the relationship with the source stone.
There are no other corpses or living people in the underground cave except for the madman, so how did an old foreigner who does not understand Chinese go down to a thousand-meter-deep cave alone and find the cave where the last group of people were stationed?
Could it be that the matter of the source stone has been leaked, and now not only the new capital and the security zone, but also the south, and even foreign forces, know about its existence?
When I think about it, I don't think the mining thing should be delayed for too long, and it would be better to start early tomorrow morning.
This time, they were in danger, and they had already marked the underground labyrinth, and there was an active stone mine in the hole, and if they were all out of it, they would need to be transported by truck, and it would take a long time.
After we finished talking, they each went back to rest, and I arranged the rest of the mining and transportation work, and at night I was mentally combing the sleeping madman, when Li Huaiqing suddenly used his brain wave to inform everyone that there was a situation, and three armed convoys were outflanking us from three sides of the small city at the same time.
In order to facilitate the transmission of news, Zhou Li and Li Huaiqing lived together, and at this time, the two ran out of the house where they lived and went downstairs to the hotel to wait to meet the others.
I asked him to immediately inform Hu Tao to erect an earthen wall outside the small city and stop the other party's car first, Li Huaiqing replied that Zhou Li found that the other party had a strange person, and Hu Tao's earthen wall might not be able to stop them.
If Hu Tao's earthen wall encloses the town on three sides, the height can only be maintained at about six meters, and the opponent's wooden ability can build an elevated wooden bridge for vehicles to pass.
So I arranged for Shangguan Li to take the teleportation egg to go over to the bottom of the opponent first, find out the type and level of the opponent's ability, and then we can arrange the defense work.
