After all, Ji He came here to cut bamboo, and he didn't specifically look for bamboo shoots. He just walked around when he arrived at a new place and picked up any bamboo shoots he saw.
This bamboo forest is very large and has been growing for many years. Ji He couldn't see the end after walking for a while, and there were fewer and fewer people around him.
At first she was afraid there might be snakes in the bamboo forest, so she used bamboo to explore the way as she walked, but for some reason, there was no snake at all, only the sound of insects flying and jumping.
Ji He worked hard and dug up 8 bamboo shoots and cut countless bamboos.
A few dwarf bamboo seedlings were also transplanted into the space.
The temperature was so high that even the bamboo was dried up. Ji He didn't even need to cut it as he could find a lot of it on the ground.
She put them all into the space, ready to use them later.
Anyway, there is a lot of empty space in her house where she can put the bamboo and wood, so she won’t have to worry about taking up space no matter how much she picks up.
Gradually, more and more people gathered around her. She knew that all the bamboo shoots outside had been dug up, and people were moving closer and closer.
There were a few people who came to Ji He and wanted her to join them, but they were all fooled by Ji He and left. Some people still kept staring at her, but when they saw that she really couldn't find any bamboo shoots, they gradually left unwillingly.
While Ji He was cutting bamboo, he did not forget to pay attention to the outside world. In just one night, Ji He saw several wars caused by digging wild vegetables.
Several middle-aged women stepped forward to pull out the girls' hair, while men stood aside with weapons in hand to provide support.
Whoever wins will own this territory.
Anyone can collect protection fees for this territory.
Maybe they had a trace of rationality in their hearts, or maybe they felt it was not worth it to kill someone over some wild vegetables, so the fights between several people usually ended in a certain amount and nothing bigger happened.
At first, when people saw a fight, some would go to watch and join in the fun, but after it happened too many times, people got a little tired of it.
Instead of watching the fun, it would be better to concentrate on digging wild vegetables. Anyway, they will pay whoever wins, and the bill will be settled together at dawn.
The people who dig wild vegetables are permanent, but the people who collect protection fees are transient.
Considering that water would be available at home at 2 o'clock, Ji He tied up the pile of bamboo he had cut, put it on his back, and left shortly after 1 o'clock.
When she was cutting bamboo before, she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and put a lot of it into the space. The bamboo she carried behind her was for cover.
After all, since we are here, we cannot go back empty-handed.
When she left, two gangs were fighting each other. The fight was so intense that they had no time to pay attention to her. Two people noticed Ji He leaving, but when they saw that she was carrying bamboos on her back, they hesitated and did not come over to collect the protection fee.
The bamboo forest is full of bamboos, and there are as many as you want. If we lose the battle because of leaving for a while, it would be a big loss.
Ji He was also happy that no one bothered her, so she carried the bamboo on her back, bent over, and walked back quickly.
There are two ways to return to her home from the bamboo forest. One of them is the way she came just now, which is a little closer.
The other road is a little more roundabout, but there is a real estate project nearby that is about to be completed. I heard that it is a fully furnished house, the kind that includes the decoration when sold.
This time, Ji He was going to take the second route to see if there were any marble slabs or other long stone slabs on the construction site. She wanted to take some back.
Ji He kept walking and ran in the direction of the exit. After a while, he walked out of the bamboo forest and onto the main road.
At this time, it was pitch black all around, and there was no one in sight.
As Ji He walked, he turned onto a small path, went behind a big tree, and squatted down.
After waiting for five minutes and finding that there was really no one behind her, she put all the bamboo into the space, got up and ran towards the building.
Ji He ran and looked at the map to identify the direction. After running for about 20 minutes, he saw the building.
In the dark night, this unfinished building looks particularly desolate.
Relying on her small body, she found a gap, crawled through the fence, and walked into the building in the dark.
When this house was sold before, it was advertised with a lot of fanfare and on TV.
But now it was thrown here and lost its vitality.
It’s a bit of a pity to say that most of the houses in this development have been almost completed, and the only thing left to be completed is the topping-out. If it weren’t for this accident, the houses would have been delivered in a month at most.
But accidents happen so suddenly.
Ji He passed the outermost houses without windows and doors and went straight to the top-ranked building in the middle. This top-ranked building was sold with great fanfare, so it should have been renovated first, right?
Just when he was halfway there, Ji He suddenly noticed a bright light in the distance.
Her heart tightened and she immediately squatted down on the spot.
How can anyone live in this place when the houses haven't been handed over yet?
Ji He's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously felt that he had discovered a secret.
After hesitating for a while, she decided to go over and take a look. After all, it was dark out, and if she was careful, she shouldn't be discovered.
Before moving forward, Ji He made some preparations. First, he took out the dirty clothes from the space and tied his shoes on them.
She always saw the protagonists in movies being exposed because they stepped on stones, and she said she would never make such a stupid mistake.
With this clothing as a cushion, stepping on stones won't make any noise immediately.
After finishing his shoes, Ji He found a sun mask from the space and put it on.
She was already wearing a hat, and with that sun-protection mask covering her forehead and face, I guess even her own mother wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Everything was ready, and Ji He carefully approached the King of Buildings.
As soon as she walked to the side of the building, Ji He heard a voice. She quickly hid herself and looked up quietly.
The noise grew louder and louder, accompanied by footsteps and the voices of two men swearing.
"It's so hot this late at night, what do you want from us?"
"Just go when I find you, what are you complaining about?"
"You don't want to complain?! It's so cold outside, and I'm sweating as soon as I come out. How nice it would be if I could use this time to enjoy the air conditioning and play with my phone!"
"This bastard, he doesn't let us do anything all day long, and makes us stay in this shabby house all day long. I heard that he got several beautiful women!"
"Hey! Do you think he asked us to go there for some good reason?"
"You'll know if you go and take a look..."
With the light coming from the house behind him, Ji He could clearly see the two people.
It was a bald man and a strange man.
She had seen this man on the wanted poster with a bounty on his head. He was worth a lot of money, worth 30 kilograms of rice.
At this moment, Ji He thought about taking out his machine gun and shooting them both.
But when she saw the room behind her was still lit, she did not act rashly.
According to common sense, if the light is on in the room, there is someone else in the room.
She didn't know how many people were in the room, so it was better not to take any risks for now.
At worst, she could let them live a little longer, and then reunite them after she had sent everyone in the house away.
