Chapter 390 Kill Him
Grace stood next to Feng Qi and felt completely safe.
She had already witnessed their fighting ability, and now she was taking advantage of the power of the other side. A rare tough expression appeared on her sweet face.
She said fiercely, “This soldier said that if you dare to look inside again, she will dig out your eyes and crush your eyeballs on the ground.
She will also cut off your ears and fry them in a pan like Chinese food. Then she will sew your mouth shut..."
Before she could finish her words, the follower turned around and ran away in fear.
Feng Qi blinked, "What did you tell him?"
Grace said guiltily: "I said what you said. He...is stupid, I explained it."
Yeah?
Back in the secret room, Feng Qi saw Zhong Jialing and Luo Jiu laughing at each other and asked hurriedly, "What are you two laughing at?"
Luo Jiu shook his head. "Nothing. Go to sleep first. I'll watch over you for the first half of the night."
Feng Qi and Zhong Jialing were always used to staying up late at night, so they didn't say anything. They found a flat place, lay down there and fell asleep. Their sleep quality was surprisingly good.
On the other hand, Grace and the others all had their eyes wide open, showing no intention of falling asleep.
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Old Mrs. Kong shook her head and said, "I am old and sleep less. I will keep watch with you."
Grace said, "I won't sleep either. In case someone outside talks to you, I can help translate."
Cordelia was a shy little girl. She said nothing, but just moved silently to Luo Jiu's side, looking at her with admiration and a smile.
Old Lady Kong looked at these young faces with a loving gaze and said with a smile, "Since you all don't want to sleep, let me tell you whether we can get out."
She took out three copper coins from her pocket, shook them in her palm and threw them on the ground. Then she used a branch to draw long and short horizontal lines on the ground as a mark. She shook it six times and said to everyone happily, "It's the Qian hexagram!"
Luo Jiu smiled and asked, "Why?"
Old Lady Kong said, "This is the first hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams, a very auspicious hexagram. The moving line is in the supreme position of nine or five. This position in the hexagram means a flying dragon in the sky. This will definitely help you get out!"
"Flying dragon in the sky?" Grace repeated in a low voice, "I don't understand the rest, but for you Chinese people, going to heaven also means death, doesn't it? Are you sure this flying dragon in the sky doesn't mean collective ascension?"
Mrs. Kong paused for a moment and said, "Child, why do you think so badly? Are you a professional or am I? If I say it is a good omen, it definitely does not mean death."
Grace said "Oh", and Cordelia asked anxiously what they said. Grace explained to her, and she prayed quickly: "May God bless us, and may these three brave ladies be lucky enough to survive."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "This is China. I'm afraid your master can't help you."
Cordelia shook her head and said, “No, the Lord is everywhere.”
Luo Jiu had no choice but to respect other people's beliefs and didn't say anything else.
At this time, Wang Xiaobing came over and said, "There are some tree roots dug out from the wall outside. I think we can light a fire to get rid of the moisture. Chief Luo, do you want some?"
Luo Jiu stuck his head out and looked outside, and saw several followers gathering around some half-wet tree roots to try to light a fire. After trying for a long time, there was only smoke, but no fire at all.
Something flashed through Luo Jiu's mind. She searched in the cracks in the ground with the lamp in hand and stopped at a black stone that marked the spot.
Wang Xiaobing: "What's wrong?"
Luo Jiu: "Open it up and take a look."
Wang Xiaobing picked up the pickaxe they had used to break down the wall. He swung it down and immediately felt something was wrong. He took a closer look at the broken "black stones" on the ground and said happily, "Isn't this coal?"
Luo Jiu smiled and nodded, "Yes, just a little is enough to burn for a whole night."
Wang Xiaobing quickly called a few black people over, and everyone worked together. After a while, they dug out two piles of coal by knocking and smashing.
Angsa led his men to light a fire nearby. Wang Xiaobing quietly tugged at Luo Jiu's sleeve. The two walked away a few steps. Wang Xiaobing smiled and said, "Chief Luo, I want to ask you something."
Although Wang Xiaobing's name has the character "Xiao" in it, he is actually quite old. A man in his forties has clear horizontal lines on his forehead. Seeing him being so humble, Luo Jiu felt a little embarrassed.
Luo Jiu said: "Just call me Luo Jiu."
"No, no, no, that would make me seem immature and not respectful enough to you."
With this attitude, he must be asking for something.
Luo Jiu said: "You are older than me, and I don't know how to address you properly. So, you call me Luo Jiu and I call you Old Soldier. Otherwise, if you keep being so polite to me, I won't listen to the rest of your words."
Wang Xiaobing smiled, "Okay, Leader Luo, I won't be polite then. I want to ask, what are the conditions for joining our base?"
Luo Jiu confessed: "The conditions have not been determined yet. Currently, there are only indigenous people in the base, and no new people have joined."
Wang Xiaobing's eyes flashed with difficulty, and he rubbed his hands together, and said awkwardly: "It's a bit embarrassing to say it. Although I was not very rich before the end of the world, I still had some things. Now the end of the world has made me penniless, and I don't know what I can contribute to joining your base.
Look, what should Kong Daxianer and I do to join you?"
Wang Xiaobing looked around cautiously, lowered his voice, and said slyly, "I actually secretly wrote down the passwords to the two safes in Angsa, and there are several packs of compressed biscuits in them. Let's kill him after we get out. Will the food be enough for us to get back to the base?"
Luo Jiu couldn't help but smile, "You don't have to worry about this. You and Old Lady Kong are compatriots. You don't need to do anything extra. You can join by abiding by the rules and regulations of the base."
Wang Xiaobing was stunned, a little bit unbelieving, "Really...really?"
Luo Jiu said: "Really, this base was built for the future of China. You have gone through countless hardships to return to this land, how could I turn you away?"
Wang Xiaobing was so excited that his eyes lit up, his nose was sore and his eyes were swollen, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was a man who had wasted half his life and had seen everything. He had heard both human and devil's talk, and there was no situation he couldn't handle. But Luo Jiu's simple two sentences had left him at a loss.
He knew that what she said came from her heart, and here in this crevice a hundred meters deep, she didn't need to perform for anyone.
Wang Xiaobing rubbed his sore eyes, laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "I am so excited. I didn't expect that there would be people willing to accept us when we return to China at this time. Since you said so, I will also say something from the bottom of my heart. I won't dare to say that I will go through fire and water for you in the future, but I will be your slave. Just look at my performance."
Luo Jiu smiled and was about to go back when he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, do you know the details of that Kong Daxianer?"
Wang Xiaobing said quickly, "I know. You asked the right person. What do you want to know?"
Luo Jiu secretly glanced at Angsa who was sticking his butt out to make a fire in the distance, and whispered: "Does she really know something, or is she just fooling around?"
