Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 359 You won’t die if you don’t do it

"Just wait and see what happens, don't get involved." Liu Qingsong replied thoughtfully, "After all, the game of passing the flower is a one-sided one, and we are not forcing anyone."

"But..." Ye Qingmei hesitated to speak.

"There's nothing to worry about." Liu Qingsong said, "The current situation is clearly that the Zhao family is trying to trick the Rockefeller family. If we get involved, we might end up making things worse in the end."

"Besides, we don't even know the Rockefeller family, so why should they believe what we say?"

"That's true." Ye Qingmei nodded.

"Then let's not get involved." Jiang Lao sighed, "It won't be too late to make a response plan after all the information is confirmed."

"Okay! Okay!" Ye Qingmei turned and left.

Liu Qingsong chatted with Mr. Jiang and Nie Bingquan for a while, then went back to cook dinner.

After preparing dinner, Liu Qingsong said something to Liu Lijuan and entered the garbage dump of all worlds, asking the liquid robot to investigate the purpose of the Rockefeller family's purchase of locusts.

Because the investigation would take time, Liu Qingsong did not wait in the glass warehouse. Instead, he said something and went back to have dinner.

Just when they were about to finish eating, Liu Lijuan appeared on the threshing ground riding a 28-inch bicycle.

Seeing this, Xiao Nuomi stepped forward with her short legs and said, "Second Aunt, have you had dinner yet?"

"It's done." Liu Lijuan reached out and touched Xiao Nuomi's head, then led him to Liu Qingsong and said, "I just came back from the medicine market. My ancestors told me to tell you that if you have time to go to the medicine market, remember to bring the golden taro with you."

"Is there something wrong in the medicine market?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"I'm not sure, but I can see that the indigenous residents around Yaoshi have a hard time because of the drought. They tried several times to release water from the Heishi Reservoir to irrigate crops, but were stopped by our ancestors." Liu Lijuan whispered everything she knew.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

After thinking about it, he said, "I understand. I will find time to take Jin Yutou to the medicine market. But before I go, Second Sister, you have to prepare 10,000 kilograms of rice, 1,000 kilograms of vegetable oil, and other daily necessities for me."

"Prepare so many supplies?" Liu Lijuan asked.

"Of course, it is to help the original residents of Yao City overcome their current difficulties." Liu Qingsong replied: "If they have food and drink, they will not think of releasing water from the Black Stone Reservoir to irrigate crops."

"No... Can't the water in the Heishi Reservoir be released? I think our ancestors are a little too inhumane." Liu Lijuan said.

"You don't understand. If the water from the Black Stone Reservoir is released, I'm afraid no one in the entire medicine market will survive." Liu Qingsong replied in a low voice.

"Are...are you sure?" Liu Lijuan was frightened.

"Why am I telling you this if you're not sure?" Liu Qingsong glanced at the night sky and said, "Let's not talk while standing. Let's go into the tent and sit down and talk about some things in detail."

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Lijuan nodded repeatedly. After carrying down the things she bought from Longtou Mountain, she followed Liu Qingsong and Xiao Nuomi into the temporary tent.

……

Early the next morning.

Liu Lijuan got up at daybreak.

After chatting with Liu Chunhua for a while, when he was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, a few sneaky figures appeared at the kitchen door.

Liu Lijuan was about to catch them in the act, but Liu Chunhua stopped her: "Don't go. Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, and Xiao Taoqi would steal watermelons from the kitchen every morning and go to sleep after they were full."

"Don't you care?" Liu Lijuan was surprised: "Watermelons are very expensive now. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them!"

"Is it expensive?" Liu Chunhua smiled while touching her bulging belly. "You'll know if you go to our vegetable garden and take a look at the vegetable greenhouse we used to have. There are so many watermelons and cantaloupes in there that we can't even finish eating them all!"

"No...are you sure you are not joking?" Liu Lijuan widened her eyes.

"Why am I kidding? If you don't believe me, go to the vegetable garden and see for yourself." Liu Lijuan said as she lay down: "I'll sleep for a while and make breakfast around seven o'clock."

"Okay!" Liu Lijuan walked towards the vegetable garden.

When I saw that the vines were full of watermelons and cantaloupes, I was so shocked that I was speechless.

However, she did not go to Liu Qingsong to ask the reason. Instead, she rolled up her sleeves, picked a watermelon weighing more than ten pounds, and walked towards the kitchen.

I used to save watermelons at the farmer’s market, but now that I see so many watermelons in my own garden, of course I want to eat all of them at once.

……

Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Bay.

Inside the villa.

After seeing Rockefeller Cade off, Zhao Tianxiang, Qin Haoran, and Yamada Keiichi quickly closed the door.

Qin Haoran lowered his voice and said, "Now Kaide has transferred all the money from the purchase of locusts to the Zhao family's public account. Let's divide the money quickly and then go back and hide for a while."

"That's what I meant." Yamada Keiichi said with a smile.

It was really lucky for him to meet this fool named Cade, otherwise he would be so scared that he wouldn't even be able to cry if millions of locusts fell on his hands.

"Then let's not say anything now, let's go! Let's go to the bank to divide the money." Zhao Tianxiang said as he took his hat, put it on and walked out of the villa.

Keiichi Yamada and Qin Haoran followed behind.

After half an hour.

They divided the money.

Just as they were about to go their separate ways, a tall young man appeared in a hurry and said, "Uncle, something terrible has happened."

"Something bad has happened. Can you please not be so surprised?" Zhao Tianxiang frowned.

Keiichi Yamada and Qin Haoran also looked at the tall young man.

"I wasn't shocked, but Cade knew he was cheated after he left. He is now in the hospital vomiting blood and in critical condition!" The tall young man lowered his voice and said, "Many members of the Rockefeller family flew to Hong Kong Island. I am 100% sure that they will come to us as soon as they get off the plane."

"What did you say?" Zhao Tianxiang's face turned ugly.

Yamada Keiichi and Qin Haoran were so scared that they turned around and ran away.

No matter how Zhao Tianxiang shouted, neither of them turned their heads.

Soon, he got into the car and disappeared.

This made Zhao Tianxiang very angry. He had no choice but to take the tall young man into the car and asked the driver to drive to the villa.

He now only hoped that no one from the Rockefeller family would come looking for him before he escaped, otherwise not only would he be in trouble, but the entire Zhao family would be in big trouble as well.

……

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Qingsong was sleeping soundly in a chair in the temporary tent.

Suddenly, a horn sounded outside, followed by Liu Lijuan's shout: "Qingsong, come out for a moment. I have already helped purchase the supplies you sent to the medicine market."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the temporary tent.

When she saw that Liu Lijuan had brought the supplies back in a large truck, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Second sister, did I ask you to buy so many supplies yesterday?"

"Of course there are so many, otherwise why would I ask a truck to deliver them?" Liu Lijuan stuffed the purchase order into Liu Qingsong's hand and said, "If you don't believe me, just count it yourself."

"What I mean is how can so many supplies be delivered to the medicine market." Liu Qingsong smiled bitterly.

After all, the roads to the medicine market are blocked, so if the medicine is carried only by manpower, it would probably take hundreds of porters.

"Don't worry about that." Liu Lijuan replied, "I have already contacted the porters and mule team at the farmer's market for you. They will come to help you tomorrow morning."

Mule Team.

A team that specializes in carrying mountain goods.

Because all the means of transportation they used were mules, they were called the Mule Team.

"That's good!" Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the porters on the truck were already moving the supplies, he quickly stood aside and counted the quantity.

Just when all the supplies were about to be unloaded from the truck, Ye Xiaoxiao came over quickly holding a book and said, "Brother, are you going to the medicine market tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Liu Qingsong nodded.

"Then remember to call me." Ye Xiaoxiao said happily.

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong agreed readily.

After all, it was agreed before that if we go to the medicine market, we will take Ye Xiaoxiao with us.

"Then I'll go talk to grandpa." Ye Xiaoxiao turned around and ran towards a temporary tent on the southeast side of Pangdun's threshing ground.

Before he ran over, he saw Old Jiang carrying a medical kit and the mute girl getting into a military jeep parked nearby.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask. "I'm going to treat a very important patient." Old Jiang replied in a low voice, "Don't run around if you have nothing to do. It may take me several days to come back."

"Oh!" Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.

She wanted to talk about going to the medicine market, but after thinking about it, she didn't say a word. It's not that she didn't dare, but she didn't want to make her grandfather worry about her.

But unexpectedly, the military jeep drove five meters away and then stopped. Then Mr. Jiang opened the door, bent down and got out.

"Grandpa..." Ye Xiaoxiao went up to him.

"I forgot to tell Qingsong before I left." Old Jiang said, stroking his beard and walking quickly towards Liu Qingsong.

Soon, a group of two people came to Liu Qingsong.

Elder Jiang didn't waste any words and said directly, "Qingsong, Nie Bingquan just called Qingmei and asked Qingmei to take me to the Union Hospital in Sijiu City to treat Rockefeller Cade."

"If you need my help with anything, you can call Qingmei directly."

"By the way! Remember to let Jin Yutou take his medicine on time."

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded repeatedly: "By the way! This Rockefeller Cade you mentioned, isn't he the fool who bought the locusts from the Zhao family at a high price?"

"It's him. After Cade found out that he was cheated by the Zhao family, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma in the hospital. Now the doctors at Union Hospital are helpless. I don't think it will be of much use if they call me over." Old Jiang replied with a long sigh.

"Is that so?" Liu Qingsong sighed, "Then don't worry! I will take good care of Xiaoxiao, Xiaotaoqi, and Jin Yutou."

"Grandpa, I will go to the medicine market with my brother tomorrow." Ye Xiaoxiao mustered up the courage and couldn't help but say something.

"Then you better be careful." Old Jiang reminded kindly.

"Yeah, yeah!" Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. She thought her grandfather wouldn't let her go! Now it seems that he was overthinking.

"Let's go!" Old Jiang touched Ye Xiaoxiao's head, turned around and walked towards the military jeep.

Liu Qingsong watched Jiang Lao's figure disappear, and after thinking for a while, he continued to busy himself with his work.

……

Time flies and it is the next morning.

At dawn, Liu Qingsong was woken up by Liu Lijuan: "Don't sleep anymore, the porters and mule teams are here, get up quickly, and let's set off for the medicine market before the sun comes out."

"Then there's no need to get up so early, right?" Liu Qingsong got a headache after hearing that, but he couldn't persuade Liu Lijuan. He had no choice but to get up, wash, and then carry his hunting rifle and other necessary items.

In the threshing ground, a truckload of supplies delivered yesterday had already been packed up by dozens of porters and mule teams, waiting for Liu Qingsong to lead the way to the medicine market.

"Where is the little guy?" Liu Qingsong couldn't help but ask Liu Lijuan when he saw this scene.

"She was here just now!" Liu Lijuan looked around and was about to go inside the temporary tent to look for her when Ye Xiaoxiao appeared running with a large backpack on her back. Behind her were Ye Qubing, Wang Ba, Xiao Taoqi, Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei.

"You don't want to go to the medicine market too, do you?" Liu Lijuan frowned.

"Is it not possible?" the little rascal asked timidly.

"Uncle, little sister can go to the medicine market to play, so why can't I go?" Little Nuomi also said dissatisfiedly.

"The problem is, if you all go, who will guard the watermelons and cantaloupes in the vegetable garden?" Liu Qingsong squatted down and rubbed Xiao Nuomi's head with his hand: "If you listen, don't go with me this time."

"If the watermelons and cantaloupes are stolen, we won't be able to grow them this year."

"Oh! Then I won't go. I'm going to look after the watermelons with my aunt." Little Nuomi said as he took his little sister's hand and ran towards the vegetable garden.

Ye Qubing, Wang Ba and Xiao Taoqi hesitated for a moment and then followed behind.

Liu Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene: "Qingsong, you must have a solution. Otherwise, Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei would have insisted on following me to the medicine market."

"No, they are not unreasonable people." Liu Qingsong smiled and saw that everyone was gathered. He blew a whistle and called Xiao Heikui, who rode a sidecar, carrying Jin Yutou and Ye Xiaoxiao, and slowly drove towards the mountain road.

……

More than an hour later, the group arrived at the entrance of the narrow path.

Seeing that all the porters and mules had caught up, Liu Qingsong parked the tricycle on the grass nearby, then took Jin Yutou and Ye Xiaoxiao with him onto the narrow path.

Because they had walked this path many times, they were talking and laughing along the way. Only when they passed the cliff did they become serious.

Soon, they came to a fork in the road.

Liu Qingsong saw that everyone was thirsty from the scorching sun. There was a large pine forest nearby, so he was about to call everyone in to take a break and drink some water, but Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qingsong asked in shock.

Everyone else also looked at Ye Xiaoxiao.

"There...there's a person there." Ye Xiaoxiao pointed to the grass beside the mountain path: "And he looks familiar."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong looked over.

Seeing that there was really a person lying on the grass with a lot of blood on his body, he hurried over.

"Aoao~~!" Xiao Heikui barked twice and followed behind.

When I got closer, I saw that the person was actually 'Chen Liping'.

Chen Liping was already unconscious at this time, her lips were dry and cracked. After being helped up by Ye Xiaoxiao, she murmured, "Water, water... water..."

Seeing this, Liu Lijuan quickly took off the water bottle from her waist and handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao.

After Ye Xiaoxiao gave Chen Liping several sips of liquid, Chen Liping finally woke up from coughing.

When she saw that it was Ye Xiaoxiao, Liu Qingsong and others who rescued her, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing this, Liu Lijuan knew that she could not leave for the time being, so she had to take the porters and mule team to the pine forest to rest.

Liu Qingsong did not follow. When Chen Liping had almost finished crying, he asked, "Why are you here alone?"

Ye Xiaoxiao's face was also full of confusion.

Jin Yutou was also very confused.

This is a deep mountain forest. Chen Liping is really lucky to be alive.

"I... I... I saw that you were unwilling to take me to the medicine market, so I sent my dad away and set off secretly. Who would have known... who would have known that my two classmates and I would have wandered around in the mountains for a long time and still couldn't get out..." When Chen Liping said this, she could no longer hold back her tears.

"What did you say? You brought two other classmates? Where are they?" Liu Qingsong was stunned at first, and then asked anxiously.

Ye Xiaoxiao also looked at Chen Liping.

Only then did she realize that Chen Liping was too capable. It would be better for her to have less dealings with people like her in the future. Otherwise, she would not know how she was cheated to death.

"One of them fell off a cliff and died, and I don't know where the other one went. I only know that he was chased by a python at that time, and I never saw him again." Chen Liping replied crying.

"You!" Liu Qingsong pointed at Chen Liping and said, "You are a troublemaker. What's the point of living like you?"

"Wow..." Chen Liping burst into tears after being scolded by Liu Qingsong.

"What's the use of crying now? Let me ask you, how are you going to explain to your classmates' parents when you go back? How are you going to explain to your dad?" Liu Qingsong was annoyed by the crying and couldn't help but scold her a few more times.

"Brother, please stop talking." Seeing that Chen Liping's face looked strange while she was crying, Ye Xiaoxiao tried to persuade her.

For Ye Xiaoxiao's sake, Liu Qingsong didn't say anything else. Instead, with a gloomy face, he took Jin Yutou to the pine forest to find Liu Lijuan.

After finding it, I sat down, drank some water and rested for a while.

Liu Qingsong then asked Liu Lijuan: "Can the mule team spare one or two mules?"

"Do you want to send Chen Liping back?" Liu Lijuan asked.

"Well, we have to send her back. She is a burden." Liu Qingsong replied.

"It's a burden and there's no way there would be a spare mule, because the mule is the life of the mule team, and they generally won't let a mule go on the road alone." Liu Lijuan reminded softly.

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong smiled bitterly.

"But..." Liu Lijuan was about to say what she was thinking when a tiger roar came from the southeast, and then all the birds in the woods were startled and flew out.

"Is it Little Fat Tiger coming?" Liu Lijuan asked.

"No." Liu Qingsong said in a low voice, then turned to look at everyone who was resting: "Everyone, raise your hunting rifles quickly, there are wild animals coming."
