After I Dumped the Villain

Chapter 5: Hantan Village

Views:

Su Mian and Bai Xi ran away from the Nanfeng Club, and the two found a nearby restaurant to eat.

Su Mian invites guests.

"What do you mean by what you said before?" Bai Xi looked at her suspiciously, "Honestly, are you in trouble? Is that ginseng really yours?"

It's no wonder that Bai Xi was imagining things. Su Mian came from a poor family, and now she suddenly took out such precious ginseng. She also knew that the boss behind Nanfeng Club was Feng Duzhi, who was more awesome and coaxing than her.

Could it be that Su Mian was kept by a super rich man

"It's mine." Seeing her doubtful look, Su Mian smiled and said, "You should know that my hometown is in the mountains of the west. There is no way to grow rice in the village. The whole village digs medicinal materials and keeps bees in the mountains to make a living. My grandma dug ginseng in the mountains."

Su Mian half-truthfully explained the origin of ginseng.

"As for letting your brother resign, it's because the end is coming." Su Mian said seriously.

Bai Xi was stunned for a moment, then he covered his waist and started giggling: "You are so funny, Su Mian. I have never found you so funny before. You are so stupid and so good. Do you know that?"

Su Mian smiled. She knew that the more serious you were, the more people would think you were joking.

"Just think of it as a survival experience game. It's always good to have more knowledge about apocalyptic survival." Su Mian smiled helplessly, "Now that natural disasters are happening all over the country, I plan to take a long vacation to go home and see my grandma. "

"A long vacation? It's only been a month since school started." Bai Xi was dumbfounded.

"I won't fail even if I study on my own."

Bai Xi shut herself up on the spot: "..."

Over a meal, Su Mian used every opportunity to teach Bai Xi some common sense about survival in the apocalypse. Bai Xi was soft-hearted. Although he didn't fully believe it, he took it to heart.

After eating, Bai Xi asked the driver to take Sumian to school while he went home to live.

Back in the dormitory, Su Mian received a call from Feng Qi.

"Hello, Ms. Su, your ginseng plant has been auctioned. The transaction price is 90 million. After deducting a 5% handling fee, the total is 85.5 million."

Ninety million? Su Mian simply doubted her ears. A ginseng plant was sold for a sky-high price of 90 million

"The amount is quite large. Do you want to write a check or make a transfer?" Feng Qi asked.

"Transfer." Su Mian said decisively. Although it was a huge sum of money, given the background of the Feng family, there might be a controlling stake behind the bank. There would definitely be no limit for transferring tens of millions.

Feng Qi's voice had a hint of disappointment: "Okay, if Miss Su has such rare medicinal materials again in the future, remember to find our Nanfeng Club."

After some polite words, Su Mian's account increased by more than 80 million.

She looked at the text message and counted the eight digits in her bank card, her heart burning. With these 80 million, she can make a lot of preparations.

Seeing that Yue Wanjun hadn't come back yet, Su Mian quickly entered her own gourd space.

Although there are no sun, moon or stars in the space, it is still always bright. Day and night pass, the watermelon seeds Su Mian planted before have not yet sprouted, but the strawberry seedlings are growing lush and green.

He brought out a cup of spring water from the gourd space. This time, Su Mian did not drink it, fearing that she would oversleep after drinking the spring water like the first time.

After booking a train ticket back to the county town for tomorrow night, Su Mian packed her clothes and daily necessities in her suitcase, stuffed them into the gourd space, and then fell asleep tiredly.

Early the next morning, Su Mian went to the department director to sign a one-month leave.

After asking for leave, she went directly to the mini warehouse to pick up the goods, loaded all the thousand kilograms of rice and other supplies she had bought into the gourd space, and then went to catch the train.

After getting on the seven o'clock train, Su Mian sent a message to Bai Xi: "I'm going home. When I settle down, you can come to my house to play~"

Bai Xi quickly replied to the message: "Okay, I haven't been to the mountains yet."

Su Mian smiled slightly, and then her smile disappeared. There were less than three months until the end of the world. In these three months, natural disasters in various places would continue to escalate. She had to go back and make preparations quickly.

After the world becomes a melting pot, the temperature under the scorching sun will be as high as one thousand degrees Celsius during the day. Only at night will the temperature drop to one hundred degrees Celsius. People who evolve into superpowers will have their bodies strengthened in all aspects and have certain resistance to high temperatures. At night You can go out and do activities.

But as soon as day breaks, even the most powerful superpowers cannot walk in the thousand-degree heat and must hide in the base. In addition to the terrifying high temperatures, there are also ubiquitous elemental beasts. Humans evolve into superpowers under high temperatures, and the various elements rioting in the world will gather together and evolve into violent elemental beasts.

The most common among them is the fire elemental beast. If you kill the fire elemental beast, you can get the fire elemental orb.

Killing the water elemental beast can get the water elemental bead, and killing the wood elemental beast can get the wood elemental bead. These beads contain the purest elemental power and are the key to the upgrade of superpowers.

Su Mian has not yet awakened her combat powers, so she does not think about becoming a mercenary in the end of the world, killing elemental beasts in exchange for elemental beads, and settling down in a large base to survive.

Su Mian has a bright eye. She wants to build a small shelter by herself and take the whole village's lonely elderly people for two years. Her hometown, Hantan Village, has such capital because there is a thousand-year cold pool in the back mountain of their village.

When she was a child, Su Mian often followed her grandmother up the mountain to hunt wild dates, pick wild persimmons, and wild chestnuts. When she passed the thousand-year-old cold pond, she would wash her little feet.

The water in the pool is cold all year round. There is no grass growing in the water and it is bottomless.

Because Hantan Village is surrounded by mountains with rugged mountain roads and extremely inconvenient transportation, it is the poorest village in the county. Because of this, the Thousand-Year Cold Pond has remained unnoticed.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, the cold pool in a poor mountain had no possibility of becoming a tourist attraction, but in the apocalypse of the high-temperature furnace, this thousand-year cold pool is the paradise of cave heaven.

Su Mian hugged her bag and fell asleep amidst the clang of the train. When she returned to her hometown, the first thing she did was to ask the village chief to contract the entire hilltop and put the Thousand-Year Cold Pool in her name.

The train traveled for more than 20 hours and arrived in Anyang County in the afternoon of the next day.

When Sumian left the train station, she did not take a tricycle back to her hometown. Instead, she first bought her grandma's favorite jujube cakes and plums, and then bought some fruits to go to her cousin's house.

Su Mian's cousin Li Hongqi is not a biological cousin, but from the same village, and a god-brother from his grandfather's generation.

Li Hongqi was one of the first people to move out of Hantan Village. In the early years, he sold breakfast and did some small business in the county town. Later, he switched to selling ceramic tiles. In the past few years, his life has been prosperous.

The people in the village are honest. Li Hongqi helped a lot when Su Mian's grandmother used her family's savings to buy a house in a school district for Su Mian in a small county fifteen years ago.

Later, when Su Mian went to elementary school, she lived with Li Hongqi's house, and she didn't live on campus until she entered junior high school.

In order to repay the favor, the small house in the Su family has been used as a warehouse by Li Hongqi. It was free for the first ten years. In recent years, it has only been a few hundred yuan a month for a symbolic charge.

Because it was Monday, the little chubby boy at his cousin's house had not finished school yet. Su Mian put the fruit in the tile shop and shouted crisply: "Uncle, let me see you. How are you and Auntie doing lately?"

"Mianmian, why are you back? Is there no class in your school?" There was no one in Li Hongqi's store. Seeing her coming and carrying a bunch of fruits, Li Hongqi suddenly smiled and said honestly, "I'll let your aunt go later. Kill an old hen and have dinner at our house in the evening. Last time you asked the village chief to bring us fifty local eggs."

There was no way to grow food in the village, so Sumian's grandma raised a pig and ten chickens at home. By the end of the year, the pigs were fattened and brought to the county town to be sold. Not only did they have meat to eat, but they could also save some money. As for the mother, The eggs laid by the chickens were basically saved for Su Mian to eat, or used as favors.

"No, I'll just come over to see you and aunt. We'll take a tricycle home soon." Su Mian smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm coming back this time to do a school project. I may find a construction team by then. Do you have one here?" A reliable acquaintance?"

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of construction teams, and they are very reliable. If you need anything, just ask me. You're welcome." Li Hongqi said with a smile.

Su Mian was the first college student in Hantan Village, and she was also the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination. When the results came out, the County No. 1 Middle School specially invited a lion dance team to walk around the county town holding a banner, and finally came to Li Hongqi's tiles. Not to mention the excitement in the store at the time.

Li Hongqi was so excited that he couldn't even speak. He didn't even graduate from elementary school, but his adopted niece became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Even his ancestors were blessed with glory. There was glory. Therefore, the Li family has always regarded Su Mian as their precious child. Everything Su Mian said was never out of their minds and was always correct.

Su Mian grinned. She didn't have to worry about the construction team.

"Okay, uncle, I'm going back to see my grandma first, and I'll come see you and aunt in two days."

"Hey, okay, I'll have someone take you back."

Because Hantan Village is poor and has a small population, there are no buses, only tricycles, which are low-cost and willing to travel.

Li Hongqi paid ten yuan for the tricycle fare and asked someone to take Sumian to the entrance of Hantan Village.

Su Mian was sitting on the tricycle, smelling the fresh air in the countryside, looking at the place where she was born and raised, and it felt like a hot fire was burning in her heart.

In the previous life, Hantan Village was reduced to ashes in the high temperature, and Anyang County also became the stronghold of the elemental beasts. Her grandmother, village chief, old people in the village, children, and cousin's family all survived. This time she came back early, still holding her arms in her arms. With more than 80 million in it, she will definitely not let tragedy happen again.
