Chapter 323 Quitting the Job
Hu Ying now has no way of confirming whether Qiao Yu’s organ failure was caused by the so-called space energy or by the injected potion.
If the organ failure was caused by space energy, perhaps after the space energy was fused, this energy would repair the damaged organ. But if the organ failure was caused by the drug injected by Qiao Yu, even if the space energy was fused, it would be useless and Qiao Yu would die.
Qiao Yu was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "If I learn Tai Chi now without acupuncture, how long will it take for me to integrate the energy of space?"
Hu Ying shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe a few days, maybe a month, or maybe even longer." It may not even be possible to fuse the space energy.
She couldn't feel this so-called spatial energy, nor did she know how to integrate it. She just intuitively guessed that practicing Tai Chi with the assistance of acupuncture might be effective.
"I understand, thank you." After saying that, Qiao Yu left without looking back.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman said, "Qiao Yu, are you not going to get treatment?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "It's incurable. My organs will fail because of an overdose of drugs. I will still die even if I merge with the space energy..." I will die anyway, so what difference does it make whether I can be cured or not?
Of course, she could practice Tai Chi and acupuncture, find a way to fuse space energy, and tell the Capital Laboratory. Then perhaps the next batch of experimenters would not die.
But, what does this have to do with a dying person like her? She is about to die, why should she help the people in the laboratory find a way to fuse space energy? Love is what it wants! Qiao Yu will not accompany her any more.
…
Xia Xiaoman returned disappointed as he was unable to see the process of integrating spatial energy.
Lying on the bed, thinking about what Qiao Yu said, she tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. After an unknown amount of time, when she was about to fall asleep, there was a noise outside.
Xia Xiaoman opened her eyes suddenly and saw Maodan staring outside vigilantly. She immediately put on her clothes, took the axe and quietly walked out the door. Before she walked out of the door, the gate outside the yard was slammed.
If they dared to knock on the door so openly, they probably weren't here to steal anything. She opened the door and looked out. They were a few soldiers in uniform.
The leader saw the door was opened and ordered two people to go in for a search. Xia Xiaoman was about to stop them when he was stopped by the leading soldier, "Have you seen this person?"
The other party took out a tablet, and on the tablet was Qiao Yu's portrait.
Xia Xiaoman immediately denied it, "No, who is she?"
"It's none of your business who she is. If you see her in the future, immediately notify the security team patrolling the street, or report to the office."
As they were talking, the two people who had entered the house to search came out and shook their heads at the leading soldier. Seeing that Qiao Yu was not found, the leading soldier quickly left with his men to search the next house.
After the group of people left, Xia Xiaoman immediately closed the door. Judging from the situation, Qiao Yu must have quit her job and ran away. No one knew where she would go.
Qiao Yu's value is much greater than Si Ruifeng's, which can be seen from the number of people and times of search.
When Si Ruifeng disappeared, the authorities only conducted one search. But when Qiao Yu disappeared, the authorities sent people to search twice within one day.
Xia Xiaoman was directing the tile installer to arrange the tiles properly when he saw someone coming to search. After confirming that Qiao Yu was not there, he hurriedly left to continue searching the next house.
The tile installer complained, "Why are you searching everywhere for a woman? If you have so much time to search, you might as well go to the tile factory and make more tiles."
Xia Xiaoman smiled slightly. This was not an ordinary woman, but a woman with space.
…
It took a day and a half to finally build the roof. The tile installer was so kind as to make her a chimney and a bracket on the chimney to put the tiles on, so that when it snows in winter, the snow will not fall into the chimney.
At the same time, Li Yu'e's greenhouse had been built, and the supplementary lights and wires had been connected. Li Yu'e had the land turned over in preparation for planting cotton.
Li Yu'e was busy and had no time to take care of Mingzhu, so she often left Mingzhu to Xia Xiaoman to take care of. Xia Xiaoman didn't know how to take care of children, so every time Mingzhu came over, she asked Maodan to take care of the child.
In just a few days, Mingzhu, who could barely speak fluently, had tamed Maodan.
When Sun Qing came to Fucheng to pick up Mingzhu, she saw Mingzhu riding on Maodan's back, letting Maodan carry her.
"Dear, did you miss me?" Sun Qing picked up Mingzhu and weighed her. "Oh, you've gained weight after not seeing you for a few days."
"Ah, Mao, Mao!" Mingzhu ignored Sun Qing and only wanted to play with Maodan. She twisted her body and stretched out her fat hands to try to grab Maodan.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman said, "Take this little devil away quickly! If she doesn't leave, my Maodan will be plucked bald by her."
Sun Qing laughed out loud when she heard that, "Zhuzhu is so powerful that she even dares to pull out the wolf's hair." As she said that, she gave Mingzhu a hard kiss on the face. Mingzhu raised her fat hands to wipe her face in disgust.
Xia Xiaoman kindly reminded, "Maodan just licked Mingzhu's face with his tongue."
"Pah, pah, why didn't you say it earlier?" Sun Qing spat on the ground several times, then wiped Mingzhu's face with her sleeve.
After some fun, Sun Qing said seriously, "I heard that your floating city was quite lively the past two days. Is everything okay?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "It's okay. Even if something happens, it won't be our turn as ordinary people."
Sun Qing hummed, "It's OK as long as you're fine. By the way, I heard that there's a new official in your Fucheng. I heard her name is Yu Jie, she's a woman, she doesn't have any background, and I don't know how she got appointed as the mayor of your Fucheng."
"Yu Jie? Young person?"
Sun Qing shook her head. "No, it's a middle-aged man. My friends in the capital said that Yu Jie moved south with her family. I guess she doesn't plan to return to the capital."
Middle-aged people? That shouldn't be a later modified space user. Xia Xiaoman said, "Maybe she was sent down because she has more experience."
Sun Qing agreed, "I think so too. They have a family and are going to settle down in Floating City, so they should manage Floating City well." Otherwise, they will be the ones who suffer.
Xia Xiaoman only hopes that the other party can find a way to speed up the construction of the dungeon, and everything else can be discussed later!
"One more thing, we encountered a skua the other day."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Skuas? The weather isn't cold yet, how come skuas are appearing?"
Sun Qing looked at it and shook her head. "I'm not sure. It may be because those skuas may have eaten sick fish in the sea, and their minds have become a little bit off. They often hurt people for no reason. Now in Yuancheng, people are being scratched and pecked by skuas every day."
"You'd better take precautions early. When the weather gets colder, the number of skuas will definitely increase."
