The life of a giant

Chapter 74 Station No. [-]
Although she slept in the open air, Qin Yuan slept exceptionally well that night.

Not only is the body warm, but the pillow is also extra soft.

It felt like being nestled in the small bed in his shared house, where the whole person was sunken in the spring-loaded mattress, and then wrapped tightly in the quilt stuffed with cotton wool.

If it was a rainy day, he would almost be able to lie in bed for a whole day without eating or drinking.

This sense of comfort penetrates from the body to the soul and is one of the most irresistible original sins of mankind.

Qin Yuan rubbed his head back and forth on the soft pillow. He wanted to adjust his sleeping position, but the pillow moved slightly.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a woman's face that was three parts glamorous, three parts heroic, three parts haggard, and one part loving.

Because he just woke up, Qin Yuan still can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, and also can't figure out where he is now.

Seeing Qin Yuan's bewildered expression, Li Xiangqin smiled, "Are you awake?"

Although the woman smiled, there were still tears in her eyes.

"Master, I...why did I fall asleep?" Qin Yuan quickly struggled to get up from Li Xiangqin's arms, but he actually slept on Li Xiangqin's lap for half the night.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the mottled light and shadow sprinkled on this desolate land through the clouds and treetops.

Li Xiangqin seemed to have not slept all night, and her eyelids were a little dark, obviously the marks left by staying up late.

Moreover, her eye circles were red and her eyelids were swollen, as if she had been crying all night.

"Auntie, I was supposed to comfort you, but I didn't expect to fall asleep." Qin Yuan was quite sorry for this.

"It's okay. I feel much better with you by my side. Otherwise, I really don't know how to get through this." Li Xiangqin rubbed Qin Yuan's hair, then stood up.

Qin Yuan looked at her strong back and followed her back to the courtyard.

Almost all the people in the courtyard had already got up, and they all looked at Li Xiangqin with strange eyes.

There was pity and contempt in that gaze.

This woman had just lost her nephew, and she spent the entire night making out with the murderer. She was so shameless!
Against these vicious gazes, Qin Yuan stared back fiercely.

After Li Xiangqin told him all the secrets last night, there was no doubt that he was now on Li Xiangqin's boat.

Firstly, he wanted to wash away his grievances, and secondly, he wanted to avenge Li Xiangqin.

Regarding the donkey-elephant dispute, he has no position of his own.

He knew that with his own vision, he still couldn't make a correct judgment.He felt that the actions of both parties made sense and he could understand them.

At present, he is still unable to make overall plans from the overall situation, he can only take one step at a time, and everything happens as he pleases, and he is at peace with himself.

Li Xiangqin stretched her waist, and walked among the people in Yuhutang, she whispered, "The plan has changed, let's discuss it again."

Then everyone in Yuhutang followed her to a corner and started discussing in a low voice.

The meeting ended in just a cup of tea. She briefly and neatly arranged tasks for the three remaining subordinates, and then everyone dispersed on the spot.

Although she didn't hear what Li Xiangqin said, seeing Song Dongyue's serious expression, Qin Yuan knew that something big would happen.

Chef Li quickly arranged breakfast. Perhaps because of Qin Yuan's favor, he specially cooked more this time. Basically, everyone had a bowl of hot porridge more or less.

Everyone finished their breakfast, tidied up hastily, and hit the road again.

Lu Changqing and Li Xiangqin seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement. Everyone kept silent about Fang Ping's death. Except for a few porters who discussed it in private, no one from Hujumen's disciples actually mentioned it.

Moreover, the disciples of the two factions occasionally chatted a few words, as if nothing happened yesterday.

It's just that the atmosphere is somewhat wrong, everyone is deliberately suppressing their emotions, the atmosphere of the whole team is like the dull low pressure before the storm hit.

Li Xiangqin carried Fang Ping's ashes on her own, she didn't want this man who loves the prosperity of the world to sleep alone in this smoky and barren place.

Qin Yuan followed her all the way.

It was obvious that Li Xiangqin had given special instructions. Fan Chen didn't dare to yell at him any more along the way, and was even polite to him.

Although this politeness was very superficial, the disdain for Qin Yuan in his eyes could not be concealed.

But this is good for Qin Yuan, at least this person will not jump out to ruin his mood again.Besides, he didn't expect to gain respect from such people.

No matter who you are, you can’t cater to the whole world.

As a human being, there must be trade-offs.

It is enough for him to have Zifeng, Song Dongyue, and those beautiful and lovely girls.One more Fan Chen, or one less Li Qi, had almost no effect on him.

……

As the team went deeper into the hinterland of the back mountain, they encountered more and more powerful beasts.

However, most of the beasts just had a brief confrontation with them, and after assessing the strength of both sides, it was a matter of course.

There were also a few people who didn't have long eyes and secretly killed two porters who couldn't keep up with the team.

But before they could enjoy a few mouthfuls of prey, they were brutally killed by the large army that turned around.

Everyone, no matter if they are from Jinhutang or Yuhutang, seems to have a big stone in their hearts, and they need to vent out through this kind of hearty battle.

When they saw the beast, they all rushed forward, and those who went late couldn't even get in their hands.

A leopard was beaten by them and made a meowing sound.

Even so, it was hard to escape the bad luck of being dismembered.

Qin Yuan looked at the situation in front of him and sighed silently: "This team is getting more and more murderous."

Everyone quickened their pace that day, and finally arrived at the No. [-] post station at sunset.

This post station was specially built according to the speed of the journey. If it wasn't because the giant beast interfered with the schedule, they would have arrived at No. [-] post station just in a whole day.

Compared with the No. [-] post station, the No. [-] post station is a whole circle smaller.

Obviously, the further in you build, the more difficult it becomes.

This is the same as when climbing a mountain, the closer you are to the top of the mountain, the more expensive the water is.

But it's good to have a foothold in this kind of place where the birds don't shit, and no one cares about the quality of the accommodation.

After everyone ate the leopard, they all fell asleep tacitly.

Still everyone in Jinhutang slept in the house, everyone in Yuhutang slept in tents, and the rest slept on the floor.

Because Qin Yuan was no longer trusted by others, he was temporarily deprived of the responsibility of night watch. He, Zifeng and Song Dongyue squeezed into a tent.

Qin Yuan, who was treated like this for the first time, could not sleep well while lying in the tent.

He kept thinking about what Li Xiangqin said to him just now, "The mine is very close, so we must be more careful in everything."

It seems that

Hands-on, that is, a matter of a day or two.
