Chapter 433
The green-canopied truck carrying wooden boxes drove past Li Zhuiyuan, kicking up dust.
Li Zhuiyuan watched the shadow of the truck move further and further away in his line of sight, gradually blurring.
The youth's fingertips rubbed gently; he perceived what was being transported inside.
No seals, only sealing strips; no escort, only a driver; no clearing of obstacles, only provincial roads; no concealment, done with great fanfare.
Things that are too precious, and because they are too dangerous, instead, there is no need to worry about their safety during transportation.
This craftsmanship of picking peaches is simply superb.
Even the final dispatch reveals a kind of relaxed and freehand style.
Li Zhuiyuan did not have the slightest imbalance in his heart; when he was still young and weak, being able to create conditions for multilateral cooperation and development for mutual benefit conformed to his current interests.
Only when he truly grows up and becomes strong will he have the qualifications and confidence to re-formulate this distribution rule.
The guide car arrived, and Li Zhuiyuan got into the jeep.
Security checks all the way, arrived at the camp.
The youth first went to Zhai Lao's place to deliver materials; when entering the tent, he discovered Zhai Lao was not there, and sitting inside was Daoist Sun.
Daoist Sun was picking his feet.
Seeing the youth enter, he stuffed his foot back into his cloth shoe, and by the way, habitually put his fingertips under his nose to sniff.
"Grandpa Sun, hello."
"Hehe, hello hello, grandson-in-law."
Daoist Sun's medicinal smell was very heavy; that night, presiding over the great formation to block the tomb owner, he damaged his foundation and vitality.
Li Zhuiyuan placed the material bag on Zhai Lao's desk, preparing to leave.
The youth could sense the scrutiny hidden under the old man's kind gaze.
That day, Daoist Sun fell asleep here due to mistakenly taking sleeping pills, and the Mother Compass was stolen.
There were only a few people at the scene; even if Daoist Sun didn't realize it at the time, he would definitely ponder it afterward, not to mention that Runsheng and the others were currently receiving treatment for "work-related accidents" in the special medical station of this camp.
As long as Daoist Sun had been to the medical station, it would be easy to associate it with himself.
Li Zhuiyuan had just walked to the door when Daoist Sun's voice came from behind again:
"I say, child."
"Grandpa Sun, what is the matter?"
"Those few classmates of yours, Grandpa went to see them; the injuries were very heavy, but they are all recovering very well; don't worry, although the conditions here are a bit crude, for any problems caused by work-related injuries, we are sparing no effort in our treatment."
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Sun; I am just preparing to go visit them."
"Hehe, hmm, go ahead, go ahead, child."
Daoist Sun waved his hand.
While waving, the two ropes tying the tent curtain at the tent entrance fell, forming a blocking formation.
Subsequently, Daoist Sun continued to reveal a warm smile while stroking his goat beard.
Li Zhuiyuan did not stop and stepped out.
The moment he crossed over, the formation broke!
"Hiss..."
Daoist Sun pulled off a tuft of his own beard.
The Dao of formations is particularly skilled at seeing the big from the small and knowing the whole from a glimpse.
Between this casual setup and the casual breaking, the two sides had actually completed a confrontation in formation attainments.
In a situation where it could not be hidden, Li Zhuiyuan did not intend to hide it; a slightly impolite response was also indicating his own confidence.
On the surface, you call me a grandson generation, I respect you as a grandfather, no problem.
In private, don't investigate in secret or probe deep anymore, lest you break the rules.
Daoist Sun spread his palm, blew a breath, watched his beard float away, and suddenly laughed again:
"Hey, good grandson-in-law."
Inside the medical station, Runsheng and the others were recovering very well.
According to past experience, they could be discharged now, but thinking that it was public-funded medical care anyway, being able to stay and recuperate was better, so they stayed for a few more days.
It's not that they wanted to take this bit of advantage; being able to lie here after being injured was itself a kind of recognized emotional value.
It should be that Han Shuting had specifically greeted them; the medical staff inside had very low sensitivity to Runsheng and the others; for example, the new skin on Lin Shu You's body had grown out; this kind of recovery speed, which was extremely rare even among people in the Jianghu, did not cause their surprise here, or they were deliberately performing not being surprised.
Li Zhuiyuan walked outside and saw Zhao Yi sitting at the entrance of the medical station, gnawing on a dry apple.
"Yo, coming early is not as good as coming coincidentally; just got something good and ran into you."
Zhao Yi took another wrinkled apple that had lost its moisture out of his work clothes pocket, wiped it carefully on his sleeve, and then broke it into two halves with both hands, handing one half to Li Zhuiyuan:
"Eat it, this is called an apple, it's very sweet."
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and did not reach out to take it: "Such a precious thing, you eat it yourself."
"Hey, you wait, I'll find a knife to peel it for you; you eat the apple, I'll just taste the skin."
Li Zhuiyuan sat down on the steps beside Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi did not really peel the apple but gnawed on it in big bites himself.
He didn't look as old as he did in the ancient burial; the wrinkles on his skin had recovered quite a bit; his hair hadn't turned completely black yet, but he should have dyed it black at a barbershop in town.
He looked like an old master who had become weathered due to work.
This apple is not an ordinary apple; it was when Zhao Yi was driving a tractor that he saw a small Earth Temple that had been buried for unknown years dug up at a construction site by the road.
The Earth Temple was half a person high and half a person wide; the Earth God statue was blurred, but the incense burner placed in front and the apples in the fruit plate could still be seen.
The living conditions at this construction site were very high, and non-staple food was not lacking; even if it were lacking, no one dared to be greedy for this; if something went wrong after eating it, it really wasn't worth it.
Zhao Yi took the apple directly, took a bite in front of everyone, and said it was sweet.
This fruit is called Incense Fire Fruit, rare and hard to find, worthy of being called a Jianghu treasure; Zhao Yi relied on eating this to make up for the lifespan he had lost.
For those who walk the rivers, this is not strange; after a wave, merit begins to manifest, and it really is literally "sleeping and being sent a pillow."
After swallowing several apples, skin and core included, Zhao Yi let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Zhuiyuan: "In a few days, when Runsheng and the others are discharged, we will also withdraw from the site; how much longer do you plan to stay here?"
The construction of the site had already entered the right track, and the most difficult part of the problem had already been solved; next, the mining area construction would be carried out, and Luo Gong and Xue Liangliang would lead the team to leave here.
Zhao Yi touched his stomach, looked at Li Zhuiyuan, and let out a burp:
"Surnamed Li, I ate several in a row, I'm stuffed, you have to let me slow down."
Li Zhuiyuan nodded.
Zhao Yi took out his pipe, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled smoke.
"I want to stay for a while longer; anyway, there is an interval between waves; I plan to take out half the interval and finish the first phase of the project here.
On the way back to Jiujiang, I'll take a detour through Nantong, see my god-grandmother, and by the way, come see you, old brother."
"You can choose a set of books from the basement."
"That's too embarrassing; brother, you've already given me a sword, how can I be embarrassed to ask for two more sets of your collection?"
Li Zhuiyuan did not speak.
Zhao Yi continued: "Sigh, but who told me to be a junior; I can only accept the love of an elder, I can't spoil the elder's fun, right? Then I'll just close my eyes and randomly draw three sets; what do you think, Grandpa?"
"Okay."
"Should I kowtow to you now, Ancestor?"
Li Zhuiyuan stood up, preparing to leave.
Zhao Yi: "Hey, surnamed Li, when are you going to Hainan?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't know."
Zhao Yi: "You are not the kind of person who doesn't settle accounts; Chen girl is Chen girl, the Chen family is the Chen family, you can distinguish clearly."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Depends on the situation."
Zhao Yi: "Okay, call me before you go; I also plan to take the team to Sanya for team building, enjoy the sunshine, beach, and sea; it's just that it's cold, and food and lodging in Sanya are expensive, so I'll just hitch a ride on your itinerary."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Better wait until you've drawn all the books."
Zhao Yi: "Grandpa Yuan is particular."
It's not that Li Zhuiyuan is particular; he said let Zhao Yi choose a set, and Zhao Yi climbed up the pole and turned it into blindly drawing three sets.
Every set of books in the basement of Grandpa's house has great value, it's just that the value orientation is a bit problematic.
Zhao Yi has a high probability of blindly drawing three sets of secret manuals like Health Preservation Classics, Dual Cultivation Methods, and Pure Yang Virgin Skills.
Leaving the medical station, Li Zhuiyuan planned to go back.
On the way to the guide station, he saw Han Shuting passing by with two lunch boxes.
Han Shuting: "Have you eaten?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Not yet, Uncle Han."
Han Shuting: "Coincidentally, I got an extra portion; don't waste it, you eat it."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay."
For martial arts practitioners, the higher the skill, the greater the appetite; this kind of coincidence, everyone knows it without saying.
Found a place outside a tent, found two benches, and the two, one big and one small, sat down.
Li Zhuiyuan took the lunch box that had already turned cold from Han Shuting's hand.
This was his fault; he chatted with Zhao Yi for a while longer there and happened to let the meal turn cold.
Pulled out disposable chopsticks, and the two started to eat.
Han Shuting: "Are you surnamed Qin or surnamed Liu?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Uncle Han, it's written on my ID, I am surnamed Li."
Han Shuting put a piece of roasted gluten into his mouth, chewed for a long time, and asked again:
"Is the old lady well?"
"Grandma is all well."
"Then him?"
