For Chang'an, the end of summer may not be over yet, and the autumn tiger is still raging, but it is already late autumn in the northwest, and it is expected to start snowing in a while.
So it's a little cold at night.
The earthen kang in Old Man Tian's house is quite big, and it can accommodate even six or seven people, let alone the three of them.
Zhao Jingshi slept in the middle of the Tukang, and Su Qin and Chen Qiming slept on both sides. The three of them just washed their faces casually. This made Zhao Jingshi, who had to take a bath every night to fall asleep, very uncomfortable. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
"Can't sleep?" After half an hour passed, Su Qin felt that Zhao Jingshi was not asleep yet, so he asked casually.
Outside, Old Man Tian and his family of three have fallen asleep, the lights in the yard have been turned off, and the stars in the sky can still be seen twinkling through the window.
Zhao Jingshi scratched his body and said, "I haven't taken a shower, I can't sleep, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
Su Qin said angrily: "You also said that you are not a spoiled young master, so you have to make do with being uncomfortable, unless you don't plan to sleep tonight."
It was impossible for Zhao Jingshi not to sleep. He was already a little exhausted from the long journey and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.
Zhao Jingshi thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Su Qin, have you ever lived in such an environment before?"
Zhao Jingshi felt that Su Qin was more prominent than himself. He was the upright eldest son of the Su family. He seemed to be well adapted to such an environment without any complaints.
In comparison, I am a bit pretentious, but I am really not pretentious. I have never been in such an environment before.
Su Qin said without concealing: "What is this? For me, this is paradise, with food, drink and a place to live. I have never been in any kind of environment in the desert, snow, deep mountains and old forests. , the longest time was when I was disoriented and didn’t eat for six days, and I almost died in no man’s land.”
Zhao Jingshi was stunned after hearing this. He subconsciously asked: "Brother Su Qin, it's so late, let's stop bragging, right?"
Su Qin knew that Zhao Jingshi would not believe it, so he said happily: "Then let's give up any external help and walk from here to Lancheng. As long as you can persist to Lancheng, I don't care how arrogant you are at Chang'an University in the future."
Su Qin said it very seriously. After hearing this, Zhao Jingshi shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, I believe it. I'm afraid I'll die on the way."
"You don't have to believe it now, but I will make you believe it in the future. It's getting late and go to bed quickly. You have business to do tomorrow, so don't embarrass yourself as a playboy." Su Qin half-joked.
Zhao Jingshi couldn't bear it anymore. Even though it was very uncomfortable to sleep on the earthen bed, and even though there was still a bit of a musty smell in his life, he fell asleep within a few minutes.
Zhao Jingshi slept very comfortably. It was not until the next day when Su Qin and Chen Qiming got up that he woke up because of the sound of the door opening.
Outside, Old Man Tian was already cleaning, and Tian Wa was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
After Su Qin and Chen Qiming got up, they washed their faces and went to wander around the village. Anyway, the village was not big, only a dozen or so households.
When Su Qin and Chen Qiming came back, Zhao Jingshi had already woken up and was playing games with Tian Niu there, and his mental state seemed to be very good.
The honest but stubborn Tian Wa smiled naively and said, "It's time to have breakfast. I'm about to ask my father to call you in the village."
"Just taking a walk around." Su Qin said with a smile.
Then he walked towards Zhao Jingshi and asked, "How did you sleep last night? Are you still used to it?"
"Although I'm not used to it, I sleep very soundly, so that's it. There's nothing I'm not used to. Once you do it more often, you'll get used to it." Zhao Jingshi chuckled.
Su Qin said half-jokingly: "Ideological awareness has improved."
After chatting for a while, everyone got ready to eat. Tian Wa steamed steamed buns and cooked porridge, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pickled pickles, cold wild vegetables, and chicken stewed overnight last night.
"Brother Tian Wa, after dinner, we will go to the mine to help you get compensation." Zhao Jingshi said while eating. If he didn't help Tian Wa get compensation today, he would have to spit out the meal.
Tian Wa scratched her head and said, "I really don't need to trouble you. I can just go by myself. Don't bother you."
Zhao Jingshi said disapprovingly: "It's not troublesome, it's a trivial matter to us."
Su Qin took advantage of the situation and said: "I just went for a walk in the village. There are three or four people in your village who have suffered work-related injuries like you. It seems that they have not received compensation like you."
"Well, yes, they also went to the mine with me yesterday." Tian Wa sighed.
Su Qin said with great interest: "Then I will help them and ask for it this time."
"You want to help them too?" Tian Wa said in shock.
Su Qin sneered: "As for what you want, just leave it alone."
Tian Wa wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Now he was a little curious about the identity of Su Qin, Zhao Jingshi and Chen Qiming. Could it be that he was really the city's investigation team and he just didn't want his identity exposed?
Half an hour later, Su Qin's Land Rover Defender parked in front of Tian Wa's house. The car had been driven to the county town for repairs last night. After all, Su Qin and the others were followed by a team of Seeds secretly protecting them.
Zhao Jingshi looked at Su Qin and was a little surprised. How could the car be repaired?
Su Qin explained casually: "Money can make things work. The rescue team took the car away last night and repaired it. Otherwise, how would we be on our way today?"
Although Zhao Jingshi was dubious, he didn't ask any further questions. After all, Su Qin's identity was there, and this was really a trivial matter.
Tian Wa and Old Man Tian were somewhat stunned when they saw this very domineering off-road vehicle. Although they didn't know what kind of car it was, they knew that it was definitely not cheap.
At this time, many villagers in the village had gathered at the door of Tian Wa's house and were pointing around the Land Rover Guard. They thought some rich relatives had come to Tian Wa's house. Why hadn't they heard of it before?
A villager shouted out of curiosity: "Tian Wa, is this your relative in the house?"
Tian Wa didn't know how to explain the identities of Su Qin and others, so she could only smile and nodded and said: "Yes, yes, there are relatives in the house, and we will prepare to go to Langli, the county town."
Zhao Jingshi couldn't understand the dialect here, so he just greeted the villagers warmly with a smile.
When the time was almost up, Su Qin said to Tian Wa, "If there's nothing else, let's go."
Tian Wa gave her father a few words of advice, coaxed Tian Niu for a while, and then got in the car without looking back.
He knew very well what would happen if he went to the mine to ask for money today. It was very likely that he would have to fold the money if he couldn't get it. I really don't know what these out-of-town friends would do.
Not long after, the Land Rover Defender set off for Dongyang Mining.
On the way to Dongyang Mining, Tian Wa was obviously absent-minded and looked quite nervous.
Zhao Jingshi comforted him: "Brother Tian Wa, don't worry, I will definitely get the money for you today."
Tian Wa didn't say anything but nodded. To be honest, he didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart.
Su Qin asked: "Why do you want this money? Have you thought of a countermeasure?"
Who knew that Zhao Jingshi said: "Asking for money is a trivial matter, the most important thing is to vent your anger."
In one sentence, Su Qin already knew this kid's tricks.
Today's matter was led by Zhao Jingshi, and he had no intention of helping. Furthermore, he also wanted to know whether Zhao Jingshi had any brains?
If he didn't prepare anything and just went to Dongyang Mining to ask for money, then they would suffer, and he would be very disappointed with Zhao Jingshi.
Because a playboy without a brain will be played to death sooner or later.
Therefore, Su Qin has also prepared a way out to avoid being in trouble.
Some people died, but not completely...
