On his way to find an acquaintance to do something, Meng Lao Er suddenly remembered that Shan Yuan had mentioned Yi Luo Song last night.
"Brother Gangzi, why did you suddenly decide to come back and rescue us last night? Did you see any Yiluo Song?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was being held in Zhao Gang's arms, felt a pang of fear.
She saw it; she saw her father swallow that pine tree whole.
But you can't say that!
Zhao Xiaoxiu frantically winked at Zhao Gang, who smiled blankly and asked, "What's wrong with Luo? What's wrong with Song?"
Meng Lao Er: "I only heard the monk mention it briefly." He didn't actually know what it was.
Zhao Gang: "I don't know, I've never seen it."
Meng Laoda patted his younger brother and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?"
Meng Lao Er shook his head, "It's nothing, just asking casually."
I only thought of this suddenly, so I wanted to ask.
After all, last night, Shan Yuan, that old man, confessed that he had drugged them all. Although he and his brother were still locked in the haunted house, they still heard Shan Yuan say in shock: "Why didn't you faint!"
With such a potent drug, Gangzi and Xiaoxiu seemed perfectly fine last night. Meng Lao Er was increasingly confused.
However, he didn't remain lost for long before the prospect of a secure job in the factory took over his mind.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father finally met the good friend that Meng Lao Er had mentioned who had connections.
Shen Que is 26 years old and a member of the Qinghe Hunting Team, where she serves as the captain of a five-person squad.
After taking the evolution potion, it evolved the ability to talk to sparrows and has first-class surveying skills.
Her mother and Granny Meng were related; in terms of seniority, the two Meng brothers would have to call her "Auntie."
However, because the three are of similar age, they only call each other by their names and don't have many opportunities to meet.
But Chen Que's mother cared a lot about her niece Meng Apo, and by extension, she also cared about Meng Apo's two sons.
As soon as he heard his daughter say that the factory at the base was hiring, he immediately told Grandma Meng the news so that the Meng brothers could start preparing in advance.
Five hundred points per person was the price that Chen Que negotiated with the factory's deputy director.
If it were someone else, without any favors, they wouldn't even get half a spot with a thousand points.
Shen Que led the group to a deserted corner, her gaze lingering on Zhao Gang, who was holding a child, for two seconds.
He stared coldly at the Meng brothers, looking like he was about to explode in anger.
She suppressed her temper and said in a low voice, "The youngest daughter of the deputy director of the suspension plant owes me a favor and promised to give me a spot. Several of my brothers who were seriously injured or disabled came to ask me privately, but I didn't tell anyone."
After saying that, he gestured with his chin toward Zhao Gang and his daughter, indicating that the Meng brothers should explain what was going on.
Why did you bring outsiders here?!
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father exchanged a secret glance, feeling awkward.
The Meng brothers were also taken aback; this was purely a matter of information asymmetry.
My mom told them that if they could get 500 points, they could get into the factory, but she didn't say that only one person could get in.
But since they were already there, Boss Meng gave Zhao Gang a reassuring look and wanted to speak with Shen Que in private.
Chen Que: "Say what you have to say here."
Meng Laoda is 28 years old this year, two years older than Shen Que.
But whether it was because of Shen Que's overwhelming aura of killing intent or the pressure of seniority, Meng Laoda inexplicably appeared half a head shorter than her.
"Auntie Que..." Meng Laoda had just opened his mouth when Shen Que glared at him, "Don't you dare call me auntie!"
This is where her team members live. If her teammates knew that she had two big nephews at such a young age, they would tease her for a long time.
Afraid of being overheard, Chen Que whistled into the air.
The whistle was distinctive, short and sharp.
Soon, a gray, inconspicuous mutated sparrow flew over and hovered above their heads, keeping watch.
Confirming there were no eavesdroppers, Chen Que took a deep breath and rubbed her forehead, saying:
“I know what you two brothers want to say, but there is only one spot. I'll give you two minutes to discuss it, and let me know when you've made up your minds.”
Meng Lao Er chuckled ingratiatingly, "Can't we really add one more? Brother Gangzi is a good man!"
Shen Que's sharp, phoenix-shaped eyes swept over the father and daughter from head to toe.
Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled politely. Her little face, which had become increasingly rosy from being cared for by her adoptive father, looked tender and easy to bite.
A pair of round, bright dog eyes blinked, and with that adorable smile, it was enough to melt anyone's heart.
Shen Que usually encounters either spoiled brats who are unruly by their parents, or disabled children who are silent and unresponsive.
I've never seen anyone with a smile as sweet and heartwarming as Zhao Xiaoxiu's.
She coughed lightly twice, reminding herself that she must not cause herself any more trouble because of her soft heart. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, waiting for the group to come to a conclusion.
Meng Lao Er took two small steps closer to her and lowered his voice to say:
“Chen Que, Xiao Xiu lost her mother right after she was born. The father and daughter depended on each other for survival. If it weren’t for this job at the factory, Brother Gang would have to go out to the base for missions. If something were to happen to him, Xiao Xiu would become an orphan…”
Chen Que raised her eyes and glared at Meng Lao Er: "You think I'm being too polite?"
Are you trying to morally blackmail her?
There are so many orphans in this base, she can't possibly take care of them all!
Meng Lao Er didn't expect that he would agree after pleading for Chen Que's help.
He gestured to his brother to bring over the burlap sack he had carried, and under Shen Que's wary gaze, he mysteriously opened it.
He pointed his index finger at the burlap sack, wanting her to see clearly what was inside.
Shen Que didn't think much of it at first, but as her nose twitched, a fresh vegetable aroma wafted into her nostrils, and she instantly straightened up from her leaning position against the wall.
