"Captain Luo, have a drink of water!"

"No need, I brought some with me." Luo Guoqing took out a glass bottle from his trouser pocket.

"good."

Luo Guoqing looked at his green water bottle and asked, "Have you ever been a soldier?"

"No, this was given to me by a relative of mine. He used to be a pawnshop owner." Lei Zhong stroked the kettle with his fingers.

"So that's how it is. Is he from this village too?"

"yes."

Luo Guoqing didn't ask since he didn't want to talk any more. After everyone around him had rested, he stood up and brushed the dirt off his pants. "We've rested enough, now it's time to go!"

Wang Cuihua lay on the ground, squinting her eyes and refusing to move: "Why are you walking? I have no strength in my legs! You guys can walk on your own!"

Li Weimin went over and grabbed one of her arms, trying to pull her up. Wang Cuihua pushed him aside and said, "I'm not leaving unless you call a car to take me away!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the bicycle next to Xing Yifei. The back seat was too small and with her plump body, she might fall off when they reached the uphill slope, so they all dismissed the idea.

Shi Shichang saw that she was sweating profusely and it didn't seem like she was pretending. "Leave two people to watch her!"

"Tian Xiaolan and I will keep it!" Xing Yifei volunteered.

"Okay, you must keep a good eye on him and don't let anything happen." Shi Shichang nodded and looked at Tian Xiaolan with worry in his eyes.

Tian Xiaolan looked at Xing Yifei and said, "It's okay, he will protect me!"

"I'll stay too!" Li Weimin said belatedly. He didn't expect that Xing Yifei would take advantage of the opportunity when he was not paying attention.

Lei Zhong refused without a second thought: "She can't move, so there's no need for so many people to watch her. Come with us to escort Wang Long and the others."

Li Weimin reluctantly followed Lei Zhong and the others and turned back to stare at Xing Yifei with wide eyes.

"Brother, go ahead! I'll be fine here!"

Even after she said that, Li Weimin still hadn't found a reason to stay. He turned around and kicked Hu Chunsheng in frustration, asking him to deduct his work points!

Wang Cuihua and others on the ground could not see those people, and their eyes wandered in her eye sockets.

When Tian Xiaolan saw her like this, she knew that she was up to no good.

"My mouth is so dry! No, I'm going to die of the heat!" Wang Cuihua suddenly howled, as loud as if she were mourning.

"If you have a dry mouth, just shut up and don't talk!" Xing Yifei looked at her impatiently.

The moment she was stared at, Wang Cuihua felt that the sunlight around her was frozen, leaving only coldness on the ground, and her body began to tremble.

Wang Cuihua mustered up her courage and said, "I just want some water. You must have some in your bag! If I die, you'll be responsible!"

Xing Yifei was amused by her words and said indifferently: "I'm responsible? Not impossible, you go and die first!"

He turned around, took out a bottle of water from the bag hanging on the handlebars and handed it to Tian Xiaolan, saying gently: "Drink some water, it's too hot today!"

"Okay!" Tian Xiaolan's mouth was dry and chapped. She took the cup of water from his hand without hesitation. Feeling a gaze, she looked down and saw Wang Cuihua staring at the water in her hand.

Tian Xiaolan took a sip and sighed: "Tsk, this water is so sweet!"

This caused Wang Cuihua on the side to swallow her saliva continuously. She didn't eat much at noon because she was getting married, and Tian Xiaolan brought people to ruin her good thing. Now she was still teasing her here. If she wasn't tied up with ropes, she would have sat on her to death!

Wang Cuihua, who originally wanted to sow discord between the two, was frustrated and simply stopped talking and lay down on the ground to sleep.
