Chapter 215 Going to the Hexi Corridor
Cheng Liguo followed Cheng Qiao and the others up the mountain to collect herbs. He originally thought that Cheng Qiao would become a burden to them, but unexpectedly, he was the one who became a burden to everyone.
Looking at Cheng Qiao moving around the mountain nimbly, and Li Huan and Ye Jun also moving very steadily, he was very disappointed with himself. Since Zhao Min's death, he had become much more decadent and was even unwilling to exercise.
"Dad, if you can't handle it, don't go. We will take it step by step. There is no rush."
"No, I'll leave when Qin Guoqing comes back. Dad wants to spend more time with you."
Cheng Qiao nodded. She had an idea. This time she planned to take little Cheng Li and his father to the Hexi Corridor. There was well water in her space. If she added a little well water to the water, perhaps the survival rate of those trees would be higher.
Cheng Liguo didn't know what Cheng Qiao was planning. He found that they almost always returned empty-handed every time they went up the mountain, and every time they climbed to a height of two or three hundred meters, they had to return.
"Old Ye, this mountain is so high, why don't we climb up?"
Ye Jun pointed to the vast white mountains and told him that his eyes would not be able to bear it for too long. Also, the higher he went, the lower the temperature would be and people would easily get frostbite.
What's more, the snow-covered mountains are very dangerous. If they are not careful, they will cause an avalanche and they will not even have a chance to escape.
Cheng Liguo was so frightened that he even spoke in a much lower voice. He grew up in the plains and had no idea about mountains that were thousands of meters high.
"Then let's go back. Dad will be gone in two days. I don't know when we will meet again. I really don't want to let him go."
Several people quickly went down the mountain and returned to the house to make a pot of tea. When little Cheng Li saw his father, mother, and two grandfathers were back, he rushed over happily. Cheng Qiao picked up little Cheng Li and said with a smile:
"Dad, how about I go with you in two days to see the environment you live in and see how difficult it is to grow those trees."
"No, you have a mother-in-law above you and two children below you. Besides, little Cheng Li is still so young and has such delicate skin. How can he withstand the wind from the northwest and the sand from the Gobi Desert?"
Li's mother and Lele and a few others looked at Cheng Qiao worriedly. They felt that what Cheng Liguo said made sense, but they didn't want Cheng Qiao to be unhappy, so they were a little embarrassed for a moment.
"It doesn't matter. I will naturally find a way to solve this problem."
"No, it's fine if I suffer myself, but I can't let you and Xiao Chengli suffer."
"Dad, come in with me, I want to tell you something."
Cheng Qiao held little Cheng Li and took Cheng Liguo into her room. Li Huan followed them in and quickly closed the door.
"Dad, I'm going to perform a trick for you. Don't make any noise."
Cheng Liguo looked at Cheng Qiao with a smile. No matter how hard he tried to trick him into giving in, he would not agree to let Cheng Qiao and her son go through hardship with him.
Cheng Qiao also looked at Cheng Liguo with a smile, but in just a moment, she and little Cheng Li disappeared. Cheng Liguo thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes quickly, but there was still nothing in front of him.
"Li...where is my daughter and my grandson?"
"Dad, don't be anxious. Qiao, don't come out yet. Don't scare your dad."
Cheng Qiao suddenly stood in front of him like a phantom, and little Cheng Li in her arms giggled, showing her little teeth, as if laughing at Cheng Liguo for being a coward.
"Cheng Qiao, where... where did you go just now? How come you suddenly appeared and disappeared? Was it your master who taught you... magic?"
Cheng Liguo originally wanted to talk about medical skills, but medical skills cannot make people disappear, so the only explanation is magic.
"Dad, do you still remember the jade that my mother gave me when I was little?"
"Remember, you couldn't find it later."
"It's not that I can't find it, but it was stolen by Xu Laidi. When I had a falling out with her, I found the jade in her pencil case, and then we had a fight."
"Hey, this Xu Laidi is really too much. I've told you that this kid is not a good person, but you just didn't listen."
"Dad, I bled during the fight, and the blood was absorbed by this jade. Now I have an extra magic weapon that can store things."
"magic weapon…"
"Dad, look, rice, sugar, cigarettes, liquor, pork..."
As Cheng Qiao spoke, he took out the supplies from the space, then with a wave of his hand, all the supplies were put into the space. The table was clean again, with nothing on it.
"My daughter, this, this is the opportunity your mother talked about, telling you not to take off the jade pendant and wait for the opportunity to come."
"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't keep my mother's words in mind, otherwise my mother might not have died."
If this space had been discovered earlier, the well water in it might have saved my mother's life. Unfortunately, I was as stupid as a pig in my previous life.
"Daughter, who else knows about this?"
Cheng Liguo suddenly came to his senses and asked seriously:
"Li Huan knows. My master is not very clear, but he understands a little bit. Also, you and this kid know it."
"You can bring little Cheng Li into your magic weapon, so can you bring other people in?"
"Li Huan, no, Dad, how about I take you in and give it a try?"
Cheng Qiao put little Cheng Li down, took Cheng Liguo's hand, and silently said "enter". When she entered the space, she found that she was still the only one in the space, so she quickly slipped out of the space.
Li Huan felt relieved when he saw that even his father-in-law couldn't enter. You know, his father-in-law and Cheng Qiao were related by blood, and even he couldn't enter. He and Cheng Qiao had no blood relationship at all, so it was normal that he couldn't enter.
"Dad, now you know that I can protect myself and little Cheng Li."
Cheng Liguo was shaken. He also wanted to take his daughter and grandson to the Hexi Corridor to let his colleagues see his beautiful daughter and lovely grandson.
"Or I'll go too."
"Can you walk away?"
Li Huan was reluctant to let Cheng Qiao leave, but he knew he couldn't go with her. What if he couldn't make it back in time, what would he do with all the things happening in the village?
Originally, he wanted to hand over all matters to Chen Weidang, but because of Cheng Weimin, Chen Weidang has become more cautious and no longer has the courage he once had.
Besides, he has now been stripped of his position as village chief. If he continues to let him manage the village on his behalf, and the matter is reported to the commune, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
He thought of Ye Jun, but shook his head after a moment. Ye Jun's identity could not be exposed, so the best way was to hide in Xiangyang Village, otherwise no one could protect him.
Mother and Lele can’t go anymore, because Lele and Xuhui have to go to school, and the burden of taking care of Xuhui’s grandmother falls on mother. I’m so worried.
Cheng Liguo looked at Cheng Qiao's earnest expression and finally gave in, but he also put forward a condition:
"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing."
