Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 36 - Return home



The twilight was already deep, and the red clouds in the distance outlined the silhouette of the school. Seeing that the school was in sight, Luo Ling finally let out a sigh of relief. She was very smart at this time, her hair tied a small bun behind her head, carrying a travel bag, holding a cane, and walking on the mountain road.

“Mr. Luo, our team is winning this time. Who can know that we can find three different minerals along the way. And they are not far from the school.” Ji Yijun walked beside Luo Ling happily, throwing in his hand An off-white stone.

Luo Ling smiled slightly, “Thanks to Teacher Qin’s carefulness and understanding, otherwise we missed the opportunity to discover quartz stone.”

“Where, thanks to everyone’s blessings.” Qin Mu is an associate professor in the school’s environment major. He is in his early thirties. He is of medium build, but has a lined body and is very effective in raising his hand. The long, straight eyebrows gave a sense of decisiveness, and he was not noticed by his slightly smaller but divine eyes. He is also dressed as a hiker, walking in front of the team, still holding a rifle in his hand. However, what attracted more attention was a little roe deer carrying him on his shoulder.

This team has only five people, almost half of them than Xiao Chen. In addition to the three of them, there is also a guide and a soldier.

“Teacher Qin, me, I usually do not accept people. But this time I came out with you, I am convinced. Not only the task is over-fulfilled, but also fast! Cool!” Ji Yijun glanced at Roe Deer.

At this time the guide also said something, Luo Ling translated: “Our guide said that Mr. Qin is a good hunter. If he is willing to go hunting in the mountains, he can teach him all his skills.”

“The skill of carving insects is not worth mentioning.” Qin Mu carried the roe deer on his shoulders again and said to Luo Ling with a smile: “I think the most urgent thing is to turn off the language, so I must talk to Teacher Luo.”

“My Spanish is from Nojiko. I’m afraid I will distort you. Don’t worry, the school will have a special language class immediately.” Luo Ling replied with a smile.

“I’m afraid we still have to go through the mountains and cross the mountains. For the time being, I don’t have time to go to class. I don’t have any language talent. I have to fly stupid. Teacher Luo will take a few stoves when we rest on the road Qin Mu looked very sincere. “You can rest assured that I will pay the tuition. How about one game at a time?”

“A few of us? I want to learn too?” Ji Yijun asked with a frown.

“Of course!” Qin Mu put Ji Yijun’s shoulders on his shoulders, and whispered, “During the past few days, have you stared at the indigenous girls? Can’t you communicate?”

Ji Yijun sneered: “Teacher Qin, you have insulted my eyes. These little girls in the local area haven’t taken care of them since they were young. How many of them can look good? Even if it’s easy to pass one, grinning, oops feed , The teeth grow like a rabbit. “

“It seems that our vision is small enough.”

“It’s not as good as Teacher Qin.” Ji Yijun laughed, but he saw Luo Ling glance at his eyes and quickly said: “Mr Qin, you said that with coal and iron, should we start building? Stove steel, build weapons? “

Qin Mu stunned, said: “Not so simple, steelmaking involves many steps such as exploration, mining, transportation, coking, sintering, iron making, etc., each step involves various equipment and details, the middle is difficult There are too many of us. But we have some knowledge of books, and who has really done this? So now the school leaders are not in agreement. If President Guo insists, no expeditions like us will come out. “

“I know, it must be those small businessmen who are tossing again.” Ji Yijun punched himself in the palm of his hand, and said with some depression.

“Some members think that it is most important to solve the problem of fullness first. Any ideas come out, and some people even want to open restaurants and restaurants. They also say that the Chinese have opened restaurants all over the world, so why can’t they be opened to the difference? What about the world? The reliable ones also think that they should first produce simple, easy-to-use, money-paying things and trade with the local people. Well, this one in your hand will definitely be very popular. “Qin Mu ordered a little The quartz stone in his hand.

“Make glass?” Ji Yijun looked at the rough ore in his hand.

“In fact, it is not a debate about what to do, but to determine what is the basis of our standing. Guns have the power of guns, coins have the convenience of coins, but between guns and coins I believe there are more guns.” Qin Mu patted his gun and looked at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling smiled, undecided.

By this time, they had walked out of the mountain forest and headed towards the main road leading to the school gate. There was a convoy coming from the town of Floro in front of them. On the four horse-drawn flatbed trucks, the food piles on the vehicles were not high. The people in the car saw Luo Ling and his party coming over and waved their hands to say hello. The people here also waved their canes and weapons. The leader of the convoy, seeing his own expedition come down from the forest, may be trying to take them on a journey and stop the team.

auzw.com When approaching, Luo Ling glanced at an acquaintance in the last car, so he shouted: “Li Jia? Should n’t you be responsible for housekeeping at the school? How could you follow along? Is the trading team going to trade? “

Li Jia was sitting, holding the shell chain in a daze, and the meeting between the two teams in front didn’t let him cheer up. He seemed to be scared by the sudden appearance of Luo Ling, and he nervously argued: “The trading team … the trading team has not performed as well in the past few days. I … I just represent the logistics team to see how things are going.”

“Yo, Li Jia, you have followed us for a few days, what have you seen?” Said a girl sitting in the car in front with some mocking tone. “It’s not that the dazes are all in the town. , What else are you doing? Everyone meets to discuss you do n’t listen, everyone goes to the village to collect food, you do n’t go, everyone yells on the street, you are not there. I ca n’t figure it out, what are you doing? Which local girl did you go to every day? “

When Li Jia heard this, he blushed, but he didn’t refute it. The girl stabbed him a few times, causing a burst of laughter in the convoy. Several people followed the girl’s words and said. All the leaders in the front couldn’t listen anymore. He turned back and said: “Xiao Li, you and Li Jia are still the family, maybe you can still reach an ancestor, just accumulate eloquence.” Luo Lingyi Look, she also knows that person. Isn’t it just Chen Hansheng who made credit for doing business with the indigenous people?

The girl with the surnamed Li did not let Li Jia go: “Captain, please don’t mess with my relatives. Who doesn’t know that our business team is dealing with these indigenous people, it is a big risk. If you don’t help you, it’s okay. Running around, the ghost knows that it will be affected by this kind of person one day. The logistics team really sits south, and only a few days later, they have produced a delicious lazy uncle, and they have taken the time to be in a daze. We are out of stock. “

Li Jia blushed red and white in embarrassment, squeezing his fist tightly with his head down. He gritted his teeth for half a day and jumped out a sentence: “I’m not doing it anymore.” He turned and jumped from the car, and ran to the school all the way.

Seeing this scene, Qin Mu sighed: “Now many students are still not pragmatic enough to do things, and they can’t stand it anymore. Small things can also be tossed into big things.” He looked at Luo Ling and asked, “It looks like you are If you know him, don’t you stop him from persuading? “

Luo Ling shook her head: “Some things are useless to rely on others to persuade.”

Chen Hansheng in the front also saw Luo Ling clearly, and also saw Qin Mu who was in front of her. He was a little surprised and said: “Mr. Luo, you also participated in the expedition team? It is stronger than my old Chen Qiang. I dare not enter the forest now. . Why did n’t Xiao Xiao stay with you this time? He is a little disqualified as a flower ambassador? “

Luo Ling smiled and said, “On his body, I am more reliable as a grass guard.”

“Come and sit in my car. I must have worked hard along the way. I also told me something interesting.” Chen Hansheng patted the gap in the grain bag behind him with a horse whip.

Luo Ling nodded and stepped into Chen Hansheng’s car, Qin Mu followed, but heard Chen Hansheng rushing to the girl with the surname Li: “Xiao Li, quickly make a place in each car and let everyone rest You see, this teacher is carrying a gun and carrying a prey, let him get on the last empty car, comfortable. “

Qin Mu couldn’t say much when he saw it, so he had to walk back. Chen Hansheng blinked at Luo Ling, causing her to laugh again.

The team walked up again. Luo Ling’s backpack came to rest, she untied her hair and took off her shoes. She was lying on the car indifferently, rubbing her legs and asked Chen Hansheng: “Old Chen, the business has not been good lately. ?”

“Ah, after all, there are still fewer people in the surrounding villages, and the crop production here is also not good. Plus, the lord here has also collected food once. In this way, we can buy less food. The food prices have risen by two to three days since we started trading. “

“We are collecting food here, are there no businessmen around?”

“Yes, yes, but this place belongs to a remote area where birds don’t shit. The surroundings are either mountains or forests. There are no decent merchants. So it’s definitely not a drama to rely on the merchants to come spontaneously.”

“It seems that it’s time to go out?”

“Yeah. I think some days later, I will organize a team to go to the nearest city. A place called Suero. Siro tells me that it is the largest trading city in the surrounding area, and many small merchants in towns carry the goods. Go there and trade. If we can get online with the big merchants there, we wo n’t worry about eating for the time being. And the raw materials required by the other groups can also be purchased from there. “

“I believe in your judgment.”

Chen Hansheng grinned and said, “There is one more thing I want to ask you to do. I will invite you and Xiao Chen to come with me.”

“You can really believe us.” Luo Ling was not surprised, looking at Chen Hansheng turning around with a smile.

“I’m a rough man, but I also know to do dangerous things, so I have to find a reliable person. Of the people I met after I came, this is the two of you.” Chen Hansheng compared his thumbs and drove the carriage to continue forward Go.
