Chapter 594: Mist. Li Rong arrives in Qing City
Li Qing stood up and prepared to leave, not giving Li Guanshan any face. He also had a sad face. It was almost the day when Captain Guo was leaving, but there was no movement at all.
Li Guanshan didn't know what Li Qing was thinking, and thought that he was being targeted, so his expression became even uglier.
"Brother, isn't that a bit unfair? We are guests who have come from afar." The deputy wanted to save the captain's face and said bluntly, "This is how you treat guests. The guests haven't left yet, but the host left first?"
Li Qing was almost laughing out of anger, "Aren't you here to ask me to do something for you?"
The deputy stiffened his neck. In other places, as long as they said they were from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they would be looked up to. They had never suffered such humiliation.
He pointed at the crown, "He...he is from another place like us, why are you so nice to him?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Qing was very polite to Wang Guan.
Li Qing nodded and said thoughtfully, "Ah, in that case, you just need to give me 50 kilograms of food every day."
"What?" The deputy's eyes widened in surprise, "50 kilograms of food?"
"Yes, and it's rice." Li Qing said very seriously, "The base in City C is very particular. You have to pay for food here, 50 kilograms per person per day. If you pay, I will serve you well."
Wang Guan tried hard to suppress his laughter. He really didn't know that Li Qing was so good at choking.
The deputy stood up quickly and said, "You are robbing me in broad daylight."
Li Qing, "You said you could rob me when you can't do it. That's a bit of bullying."
Although Li Guanshan's deputy was not very good, he was the captain after all and still had to save face. He immediately scolded his men, then stood up and said that he would stay in the shelter temporarily and would not bother them anymore.
"When can I get a copy?" Li Guanshan suddenly thought of this before leaving.
I don't even want to give them the crown anymore. "Anytime."
Li Guanshan said with a fake smile: "Then give it to me now, so that we can go back and report earlier."
Wang Guan went back to get them. Paper was a scarce resource nowadays, so Wang Guan put the papers in a waterproof bag. When giving them to them, he repeatedly reminded them not to lose or damage them.
Li Guanshan agreed verbally, but he didn't really care. Shengtang Base now has Lian Hang, a national-level agronomist, in charge. Even the agricultural base is not afraid, let alone information that may be useless.
After seeing off Li Guanshan and others, Wang Guan felt that Li Rong and others would be here soon, so he borrowed a bicycle from Li Qing and went out for a ride whenever he had time.
He didn't borrow a car because he was afraid of wasting fuel, and he didn't go back early because he was afraid of taking the wrong path. After all, he was alone and the road was not safe.
The next day, the people in the shelter began to evacuate, but Captain Guo still did not make any move. Li Qing could no longer sit still, fearing that Captain Guo would rather abandon the shelter than hand it over to him.
Chu An also felt that Captain Guo was interesting, but he still asked Li Qing to keep his troops on hold. It was definitely impossible to ask him for help. It would be better to wait for the shelter to become chaotic and then suppress it with force.
On this day, Li Rong finally led his team to Qing City, successfully met up with Wang Guan, and was taken back to the elementary school.
Li Rong was particularly excited when he saw Chu An and Gu Ye. The last time Chu An went back, he was on a mission and did not meet them.
Chu An was very happy to see that he was fine, but she didn't know how to chat and mostly just listened to Gu Ye and Li Rong talking.
Li Rong's journey was not peaceful, and he was involved in dozens of small robberies. The only dangerous one was 30 kilometers away from Qing City.
They also felt that they were almost there, and they relaxed a little. The tires of the leading car were punctured by nails placed by the robbers, and the car behind them rear-ended them because they were following too closely. Then more than 50 people ran out from all directions, all of them tall and strong, like wild men.
"If we didn't have hot weapons, we might not have been able to get through safely." Li Rong still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now.
Logically speaking, they had 20 people, they were well fed and well dressed, and all the members were well trained. However, the other party had been in the wilderness for a long time, they must have been hungry and had no professional training, so they could not be their opponents.
But during the fight, they didn't gain any advantage, and because the opponent used human wave tactics, they almost lost.
"Brother Gangzi, do you know who they are?" Li Qing was not at home, so Chu An could only ask Gangzi.
Li Qing was still a little unwilling, so he took Jiang Tuo to the shelter. On the surface, he was helping Captain Guo move, but in reality he wanted to get some information. When Li Rong came, he was not there.
Gangzi shook his head, "I don't know, I've never heard of it. During the time we were here, there were only three gangs, Zhao, Qian, and Sun."
"Then you have to be careful." Li Rong reminded: "They are only thirty kilometers away from Qing City. They might target this place one day."
"Thank you for the reminder. I will take people to take a look around the area tomorrow." Gangzi said.
Since Li Rong had arrived, Wang Guan didn't plan to stay long, so the two of them discussed and decided to set off back to City C tomorrow.
Wang Guan introduced Hu Zi to Li Rong and asked him to take care of him in the future. Li Rong recognized Wang Guan very much, so he was very friendly to Hu Zi, but Hu Zi felt awkward. Wang Guan sighed and said, "Take it slow."
That night, Li Qing returned to the elementary school. In order to welcome Li Rong and others, he took out canned meat and prepared a big meal.
Chu An had secretly put two kinds of rice (rice mixed with crushed corn) in the kitchen, so there was no shortage of staple food. She also took out some dry goods from the space and gave them to the kitchen to cook two large pots of canned meat stewed with vermicelli, fungus, dried potatoes and dried beans.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. When the vegetables were gone, they would eat the soup. The soup with a lot of meat was also delicious enough.
Chu An watched others enjoying the soup, and thought of how he often did the same when he was a child. Recalling the past and thinking of the sweetness, he also made half a bowl of soup. Unexpectedly, he couldn't stop eating after taking a bite. He ate a full bowl and a half more than usual, and was so full that he didn't want to walk.
But she couldn't sit all the time, as it would easily cause indigestion. She asked Gu Ye to stay and continue chatting with Li Rong, while she went for a walk on campus.
She envied the relationship between Gu Ye and Li Rong, who shared life and death, and were both teachers and friends. Suddenly, she thought of Chen Xun in the space. She and he had a deep bond, a bit like the so-called confidant on the Internet. Thinking of this, she no longer envied Gu Ye.
Li Qing saw Chu An leaving and quietly followed him. He hadn't had time to tell him what happened during the day. Chu An saw Li Qing following him and took the initiative to ask, "How was it during the day? Have all the people in the shelter left?"
