When the dust settled at the hotel, Li Zheng and the others also returned.
Although Dahuang was injured, with blood marks on his back and neck, and the hair on his tail was wilted, he still walked in front of him with great courage, like a hero returning from victory.
The hero entered the door, barked twice, and grinned at Yan Yueming. In this mouth, every tooth is chipped, and there is a sense of humor in the heroic look.
"Rhubarb!" Yan Yueming was startled when he saw its broken teeth and hurried forward. But then he saw Li Zheng walking in from behind, and Li Heping being carried on a stretcher.
"Senior, teacher!" Yan Yueming wished he could divide himself into several parts, look at this one, look at that one, this one is injured, that one is also injured, it seems that it is only worse, not the worst, and his heart is broken.
Dahuang saw that he just said hello to him and ran to other humans. He immediately let out an unhappy "woof" several times. The sound was not particularly loud, but it sounded like he was cursing.
"G-Brother Dog?" A voice suddenly came from beside him.
Da Huang looked over sideways.
Cao Yu walked up to chat with him on crutches. He felt that this was really a magical dog, more awesome than any of the expensive dogs that the big bosses in their circle bought for a lot of money. He is both humane and fierce in combat. Look at his fur and muscles. It's definitely worth calling him "Brother Dog".
Rhubarb is indeed understanding of human nature, and its wise eyes can feel the person's favor at a glance, but the noble Rhubarb only plays with people he likes.
Cao Yu didn't know what a dog was thinking in his heart. It was natural for Brother Dog to have a temper. He continued to ask with concern: "Brother Dog, what's going on with your teeth?"
Dong Xiaoyin ignored him and said, "Su Qin's bones are so hard that they can break."
"What a guy." Cao Yu exclaimed, "Did it bite Su Qin?"
Dong Xiaoyin recognized Cao Yu's face, looked him up and down, and said, "Although he escaped in the end, he won't be able to walk for a while. He will definitely be worse off than you."
Dahuang raised his dog's head proudly.
Dong Xiaoyin smiled. If she hadn't brought the wounded with her this time and everything was safe, she wouldn't have let Su Qin leave like this. Su Qin retreated quickly, as slippery as a loach.
"Excuse me, are you from the search and rescue department?" At this time, Hu Jiajia asked in a low voice.
Dong Xiaoyin looked over and saw the little girl's eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness. Then she nodded and stood up straight, "Hello, deputy captain of the fourth detachment of the search and rescue department, Dong Xiaoyin."
Hearing this, Hu Jiajia became excited. She held Qu Gang's arm tightly, her nose sore, "It's really, it's really them..."
When these people walked in, she actually judged their identities from the uniforms they wore. But Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing came up to them. They obviously knew each other, and they were both injured, so it was difficult for her to get close to them. When she got a clear answer at this time, her emotions were complicated and difficult to describe.
Li Zheng and Yan Yueming were very powerful and good people. She knew that and was very grateful. But when she saw the official search and rescue team, her mood was different. That is the person who will truly save you without paying any price. At this moment, her tense heart finally relaxed.
"Thank you, thank you..." She didn't know what to say, so she just repeated it.
Dong Xiaoyin is very reasonable
Understand her, in the past few years of going in and out of the gap, she has seen countless people and all kinds of beings. And people like Hu Jiajia are undoubtedly very cute.
She smiled and comforted her a few words, and at this time Zhongchun came out after interrogating Shouhou, and the two met each other. One Zhongchun, wearing sunglasses, crossed his arms and looked at her with interest, while the other Dong Xiaoyin raised his eyebrows, half-smiling.
"It turns out that Captain Dong is here. Long time no see."
"Boss Zhong, too. You're fine."
Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they looked friendly, but a little bit exaggerated.
Yan Yueming turned around and happened to see this scene. Thinking of Wen Renjing's words that "the two of them have a feud," his scalp suddenly tightened. However, neither Dong Xiaoyin nor Zhong Chun are motivated people.
People in their profession who are driven by their own ideas will die quickly.
They soon faced a problem - the old man at the front desk was not there, and the newcomers could not check in.
The rules of the hotel are that one person has one room, and if you want to sleep on the bed, you must check in and get the room key. So Li Heping and others could only stay in the hall temporarily, bandaging and resting. The waiter wasn't here either, so if they wanted something to eat or some hot water, they had to find a way to do it themselves.
Yan Yueming couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought of the reason why the front desk and the waiter left. And Li Heping had a pair of sophisticated eyes, and he immediately locked onto Li Zheng, "What did you do again?"
Li Zheng shrugged, and the old god leaned back in his chair, not even bothering to reply.
Li Heping could be mad at him.
Zhong Chun and Dong Xiaoyin also sat down at the table one after another. Together with Li Heping, who was injured but could still shout, it was quite similar to the four-party talks. During this conversation, it was inevitable that Cao Yu's sky-high room rates would come up again.
Li Heping glanced at Cao Yu and said, "You are awesome."
Cao Yu sneered.
Li Heping: "That's okay, then we'll be the big ones next. When the old man comes back, we'll have a room each, and the room fee will be ten yuan. That's it, we'll sell it at a loss."
"Senior is still so humorous." Zhongchun was very respectful to Li Heping. Changing the topic, he said: "I just interrogated that thin monkey. According to his confession, there are six of Su Qin's group including him."
Dong Xiaoyin: "We just met five, and they are just the right number. What are the origins of this group of people?"
Zhongchun crossed his arms and said, "It's very mixed. Some people robbed, stole things, and some people stayed in the gap for so long that they lost their consciousness and forgot who they were. Anyway, they don't sound like good birds. I deceived him, He didn't act like he knew Zhen, so it was very likely that Zhen saved Su Qin and accepted him as his younger brother. Su Qin then recruited a group of minions in this gap to help him get revenge. As for this gang What is the specific identity of the minion and how to deal with it in the future is a matter for your Qi Phase Bureau."
Dong Xiaoyin declined to comment.

p; At this time, Wen Renjing, who had bandaged the wounded man's wound, also came over and joined the four-person meeting in a serious manner. He comprehensively elaborated on the "high temperature and lack of water", "dry persimmons", "the source of the change may be Hu Di" and other possibilities that he had previously discussed with Yan Yueming, without taking any credit, and said: "Junior can He’s so smart, he thought of all this.”
Yan Yueming was fetching water and squatting aside to scrub Rhubarb. Hearing this, he turned around and quickly clarified: "This was something the principal and I thought about together, not just me."
Li Heping looked at this
Lao Huai was greatly comforted by the sight of brothers and sisters showing respect to each other. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "What you said is indeed possible."
Yan Yueming hesitated for a moment and boldly suggested, "So should we collect some water?"
Several people looked at each other, but no one spoke immediately, as if they were thinking about something.
Yan Yueming thought about whether his suggestion was wrong, but the high temperature was short of water, so it was normal to stock up on water in advance. He thought about it for a while, but tried hard to express his point of view: "Water is a necessity. If The town is short of water, and since we have stored water, maybe Xiaoyu’s money can be spent in some way. And there are no bottled water for sale in the store, which shows that the way to obtain water is very single in this small town.”
After the words fell and the others had not yet spoken, Li Zheng glanced at him and said: "Since you have thought of it, just do it."
Yan Yueming was relieved with just one word from the senior. Wen Renjing also thought he could give it a try, and suggested, "It can't be done by just the two of us. We can call them for help."
They refer to Hu Jiajia, Qu Gang and Cao Yu. Mushroom Zhao is just a mushroom and is temporarily excluded.
This is how the great business of hoarding water began.
Hu Jiajia and the other three are very active and want to help. They are not good at fighting and hoarding water is not a problem. Li Heping, who was sitting in the living room, saw their busy figures and couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be young."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eldest disciple stood up and left the table. Li Heping felt nervous and couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going again? The front desk hasn't come back yet. Don't try to trick me again. Your teacher, I'm old and I can't stand any shocks."
Li Zheng said two words without looking back, "Take a shower."
Zhongchun gave a light "tsk" and complained: "Do you want to wash your hair by the way?"
Dong Xiaoyin: "After all, it's Boss Li."
Zhong Chun and Dong Xiaoyin have a rare common ground when it comes to complaining about men.
But Li Zheng didn't care.
Yan Yueming didn't care even more. He even admired his senior for taking good care of himself in the gaps, which showed that he was living seriously and had a very good mentality. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it. He would be too exhausted and scared to death. How could he care about anything else?
But when the senior takes a shower...should he wash his tail together?
Yan Yueming's face turned red and she quickly stopped to stop herself from thinking too much. He thought he could collect more water. Then everyone would not only have water to drink, but also wash their hands and faces. How great.
It just backfired.
Everyone in the water hoarding team worked hard, even those as thin as Hu Jiajia or with broken legs like Cao Yu were not lazy. But after they used all the containers available in the hotel and tried their best, they found that hoarding water was useless.
The temperature is getting higher and higher. There is no air conditioning in the town, and everyone will sweat when they move. The water in the human body is flowing away, and the water stored in the basin is also losing.
Whether it's an open basin or a kettle with a tight lid, as long as it's water, it's disappearing.
Yan Yueming couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. He looked at Li Heping and others, but found that there was no surprise on their faces. He was slightly startled, then suddenly realized.
When he put forward his opinion just now, no one at the table answered him. Later, he explained it again, and Li Zheng gave him that sentence. So they may have thought from the beginning that hoarding water is useless.
But Li Zheng still let him do it, why?
Yan Yueming squatted on the ground, looking at the basins on the ground and the water gradually disappearing in the basins, and fell into a daze. This confusion came and went as quickly as it came. He could actually understand the senior's intention - there were some obstacles that he had to hit on his own. Some useless efforts are not necessarily useless.
He looked at Hu Jiajia, Qu Gang, Cao Yu, and even Wen Renjing who were also a little frustrated next to him. It felt really great that everyone was working together just now.
They all tried their best, even if they didn't help much in the end.
Yan Yueming was even more upset. He should have thought of it earlier and come up with a better way. At this time, Li Zheng also came down from upstairs and saw Yan Yueming squatting there, looking dejected and paused slightly.
"Senior?" Yan Yueming looked up when he saw the shadow beside him.
The word "senior" brought out some of the emotions deep inside. He didn't realize that he was looking at Li Zheng longingly. He only felt that he was a little annoyed and depressed at first, but when he saw the clean and picturesque senior appearing in front of him, his mood seemed to be a little better.
He smiled again.
Li Zheng still asked: "Are you unhappy?"
"No, just a little bit." Yan Yueming shook his head, looked at the water in the basin, and explained: "The water is evaporating, and there seems to be no way to stop it. The principal said that at this speed, there might be no water at night. "
Li Zheng nodded and said nothing more.
As he walked past, the pure white tail swept past Yan Yueming's eyes. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched it. The smooth touch made him stunned.
You can really touch it!
This confusion is really powerful. Yan Yueming marveled in his heart and thought at the same time. So now, my mind is confused and my senses are deceiving me?
So I can touch a tail that doesn't exist?
I'm a little unhappy right now, so can I touch it again? Even if the senior knew about it, he probably wouldn't blame me, right?
Yan Yueming became bolder and bolder, and just as he was about to follow him, he heard Renjing approaching and asked in a low voice: "Junior, why are you staring at the senior's butt?"
Yan Yueming: "!!!"!
