Chapter 182 White Fox
Meng Qingyin stepped forward and asked with concern, "Brother Tie Niu, what's wrong?"
Li Tieniu said dejectedly, "I've been completely kicked out of the construction team. We used to be such good brothers, but now we've turned against each other for the sake of profit."
Meng Qingyin didn't know how to comfort her, so she just said, "There is a connection between people, and maybe you two weren't meant to be. All good things must come to an end, so you don't need to be too sad."
Li Tieniu sighed, "That's what I say, but I still feel bad. And it's not just me who was kicked out; the workers under my command also lost their jobs."
He was so frustrated and resentful because it involved other workers.
Meng Qingyin suggested, "You have skills to rely on, you can totally go it alone, and start over from scratch with those workers, right?"
Li Tieniu was taken aback, seemingly never having considered going it alone.
The construction team operated on a division of labor between him and Zhou Mingxin. Zhou Mingxin, with his silver tongue, was responsible for securing jobs and negotiating prices, while he was responsible for designing the bridges and participating in the construction.
Even though there are no people to pick up passengers now, he can do this himself!
It's just a bit more tiring.
But the hard work was worth it; he couldn't let his construction team brothers lose their jobs!
A moment later, a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes: "That's right, I have core technology, I refuse to believe I'll starve without him! On the contrary, without me, let's see where Zhou Mingxin can go!"
"Thank you so much, Xiao Meng!" Li Tieniu pushed his bicycle and walked out. "I have to get back to work!"
After saying that, he hurriedly got on his bike and rode away.
He's also a man of action.
Meng Qingyin then arrived at the forging room.
Li the blacksmith was forging a weapon and didn't even notice her coming in.
Meng Qingyin didn't disturb him; she simply watched his every move quietly from the side, silently memorizing it.
Soon, Li the blacksmith noticed Meng Qingyin. He put the weapon he had just forged into cold water to set its shape, and said, "You came so early today, why didn't you call me? How long have you been here?"
Meng Qingyin: "I just arrived and saw you were busy, so I didn't call you. I've learned a lot just by observing you like this."
Li the blacksmith smiled and said, "Once I finish what I'm doing, we'll begin today's lesson."
An hour of study time flew by.
Today's lesson was about various weapons and their forging methods. Li the blacksmith explained it in great detail, and Meng Qingyin listened very attentively.
Finally, Li the blacksmith concluded: "These are some of the common methods for forging weapons. Of course, forging also requires creativity. When you forge weapons in the future, you don't have to stick to those common weapons. You can try to forge some novel weapons, but the premise is that you must have memorized the methods for forging common weapons."
Meng Qingyin nodded: "I understand."
Li the blacksmith started chatting: "Later I'll have Tie Niu go to Aunt Wang's house to buy a chicken, and I'll make you spicy chicken for lunch."
Meng Qingyin: "Master, Brother Tie Niu just went out."
Li the blacksmith asked in surprise, "Didn't he leave the construction team? What did he do there?"
Meng Qingyin smiled and said, "He must have figured some things out and is preparing to make a comeback."
Li the blacksmith immediately understood: "You were the one who talked to him, and that's how he came to his senses, right?"
He knew his son had been listless for the past two days because of the construction team issue, but he wasn't good with words and couldn't comfort him.
He knew his son's personality well; he was stubborn and wouldn't understand things on his own without someone to talk to him.
Meng Qingyin modestly said, "I only said a few words. It was mainly Brother Tie Niu who figured it out himself. Besides, he has the skills, so starting over is not difficult for him."
The blacksmith Li grew increasingly fond of his apprentice. "Wait here for a moment, I'll go to Aunt Wang's house to buy a chicken! I'll make you spicy chicken for lunch."
Meng Qingyin's mind raced. "Master, Aunt Wang's family raises a lot of chickens?"
Li the blacksmith: "Yes, she has her own chicken farm."
Meng Qingyin: "I'll go with you. I want to buy some eggs."
Li the blacksmith naturally wouldn't refuse, so he took Meng Qingyin to Aunt Wang's chicken farm.
The chicken farm was larger than Meng Qingyin had imagined; it was situated on a grassy area and surrounded by a wooden fence.
The chickens leisurely sunbathe, stroll, and feed on the grass.
After explaining his purpose to Aunt Wang, Li the blacksmith quickly grabbed a big, fat chicken for him.
As for the eggs that Meng Qingyin wanted to buy, they were all the freshest, and she filled a whole basket with them.
Meng Qingyin paid the money before Li the blacksmith could.
Then I added Aunt Wang's contact information so that I could directly contact her to buy eggs whenever I wanted.
Back at Li the blacksmith's house, he was busy killing chickens and cooking. Since he was only making spicy chicken for lunch, he didn't ask Meng Qingyin for help and told her to go eat fruit under the tree.
Meng Qingyin couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to come to the tree.
She had just sat down when she heard a "ding-dong" sound.
There's a message in the management group.
[Pheasant: That wicked human, she actually wants to eat eggs!]
[Hyena: So what?]
[Pheasant: How could she eat eggs! Eggs hatch into adorable chicks!]
[White Fox: She not only eats eggs, she eats chicken too.]
[Pheasant: Ugh! Chicks are so cute!]
Meng Qingyin opened the picture, which showed a fluffy but colorful little chick.
[Azure Wolf: Is this a picture of you when you were little?]
[Pheasant: Yeah, isn't it cute? Brother White Fox, what did you look like when you were little? You definitely weren't as cute as me.]
[White Fox: When I was little, my favorite food was chicken.]
[Pheasant: Oh, Brother White Fox, you're kidding me! What were you like when you were little? I'm really curious!]
[Azure Wolf: Your curiosity is a bit too much.]
[Pheasant: Just send me one picture, please, Brother White Fox!]
[Pheasant: Brother White Fox, you're the best!]
[Hyena: You're only curious about the white fox? Want me to send you pictures of me when I was little?]
[Pheasant: I only want to see my favorite white fox brother.]
Perhaps finding the pheasant too annoying, the white fox sent a photo to the group chat.
Meng Qingyin was a little curious about what the white fox looked like when it was a child.
She clicked on the photo.
The photo shows a small, snow-white fox, but because it is still too young, some of the fox's features have not yet appeared.
It looks like a small white cat.
Meng Qingyin was stunned.
The white fox in her childhood actually looked a bit like the white kitten she met when she was little.
After a moment, Meng Qingyin shook her head.
She realized she was overthinking things; how could the "white fox" possibly be that little white cat?
That little white cat might just be something she imagined when she was delirious from the fever; after all, what cat can talk?
Even if she really did encounter a talking white cat when she was a child, it couldn't possibly be a "white fox".
[White Fox] They must have come from inside the game. How could she have met them when she was a child?
