After Mu Ling and his men left Hantan Village, the village returned to its previous tranquility.
Su Mian knew that the secret of Hantan in the back mountain could not be kept secret, but she had already seized the opportunity and had the contract in hand. She would be the owner of Hantan until the end of the world.
As for after the end of the world, Su Mian is not worried. The west is the territory of the Mu family. The Mu family has awakened wood powers. They are good at planting and are most peace-loving. Mu Gui is a gentle and elegant gentleman. Even if he is discovered by the Mu family, , she will have no loss.
It's just that she doesn't want to meet any superpowers in this life. She just wants to quietly lead the villagers through the end of the world.
It was calm for two consecutive days, and after the road from Anping County to Hantan Village was cleared, Li Hongqi led the construction team back into the mountain to continue construction.
When Li Hongqi saw that all the people in Hantan Village were moving to Hantan in the back mountain, he immediately wanted to escape the summer heat. The current temperature in Anping County is 40 degrees. Because it is too hot and the power supply burden is heavy, the circuit in their community breaks down three times a month. When there is a power outage, it is simply a stove + steamer, and the whole person is cooked.
Now the county has begun to implement regional power outages to relieve power supply pressure.
Li Hongqi had a headache when he thought about the power outage in the future. It was better to close the store and go to the mountains to escape the summer heat with his family.
When Li Hongqi thought about it, he immediately went to discuss with Su Mian.
"Xiao Mian, see if I can take your aunt and Xiaopang to the mountains to escape the summer heat. We really can't stay in the county anymore. The power will be cut off for several hours every day."
"Okay, uncle, I was just planning to mention this to you. It's not the hot summer yet. When it comes to summer vacation, the power supply will be insufficient. Having air conditioning is like not having air conditioning. It's not as cool as in the mountains." Su Mian said with a smile.
"Yes, that's the truth." Li Hongqi patted her thigh and said, "Then I'll go to the village chief to talk about this matter."
"Okay, there's one more thing. I've contracted this area of the back mountain. I need felling workers. The bamboo forests and trees in the mountain must be cut down. See how many people you can find for me. The sooner the better." Su Mian Calculating the time, there are only 35 days until the end of the world. It is possible that as soon as June enters, the forest will spontaneously combust due to high temperatures. This is a huge hidden danger.
"Cut them all down?" Li Hongqi said in surprise, "Xiao Mian, what are you doing cutting bamboo? It costs a lot of money."
"The weather is too hot and I'm afraid that the forest will catch fire. After cutting down the bamboos and trees, when autumn comes, I will plant medicinal herbs on the entire back mountain." Su Mian casually made an excuse and said, "As for the money, you don't need it. I’m worried. My classmate’s family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Huadu. Her parents give her tens of millions of pocket money a year, and she wants to start a business with me. She will come back to our village in a few days to inspect.”
Su Mian was naturally talking about Bai Xi. When she returned to Huadu in June, she would try to find a way to get Bai Xi to come to Hantan Village with her.
Apart from the villagers of Hantan Village and Li Hongqi's family, the only person Su Mian wanted to help was Bai Xi. As for the others, she didn't want to question them, whether she was selfish or indifferent.
In the apocalypse, the strong is king, and the lives of the weak are like straw. She can't control her own destiny, and she can't care about others.
"Xiao Mian, is it really possible to spontaneously combust?" Li Hongqi looked at the bamboo forest blocking the sky outside and asked with some hesitation, "If this really spontaneously combusts, it will be a big disaster."
Su Mian didn't say anything, it would definitely spontaneously combust, and the flames would burn everything. In the end of the world, only the places where the water elemental beasts and wood elemental beasts are entrenched will remain the same.
"Then I'll help you find someone." Li Hongqi agreed.
The two of them had just finished chatting when they saw Li Dali coming up the mountain happily and shouting from a distance: "Xiao Mian, the officer from two days ago is here again and said he wants to see you for something."
Mu Ling? Su Mian frowned, put the bamboo basket on her back, and said, "I'll be right away."
"Captain Mu came alone? Did you say anything?" Su Mian asked calmly.
"I didn't say it, but they came by car, they were very impressive, and they brought a lot of gifts. They were all piled up in your yard."
Su Mian's face changed slightly. She didn't have any friendship with Mu Ling. The so-called courtesy for nothing was either adultery or theft.
Su Mian walked down the mountain in silence. From a distance, he saw a black off-road vehicle parked in the village. The license plate was the license plate of the military region. It should be the vehicle of Mu Ling's troops.
Su Mian's house was surrounded by many villagers who were watching the fun. When everyone saw her coming, they all laughed and said, "Xiao Mian, I'm looking for you, you're a handsome young man."
"Well, okay." She smiled slightly and entered the yard. Before she put down the bamboo basket, she saw the tall and dark Mu Ling standing in the yard wearing military uniform. A young and handsome man was talking to grandma. Seeing her When he came back, he smiled sideways, his face was as beautiful as a jade, and his appearance was beautiful.
Su Mian saw his face clearly and her expression changed slightly. Mu Gui, the head of the Mu family
In the previous life, Su Mian and Mu Gui only met a few times and did not have a close relationship. However, Mu Gui was a rare and considerate person who was gentle and gentle to everyone. The Xiling base he was responsible for also had the best reputation as a living place, while the Dongyao base was brutal. The bloody Nanfeng Base is cunning and xenophobic, and the Beichen Base is domineering. Many people with powers and ordinary people who are struggling on the line of life and death long to go to the peaceful Xiling Base.
In the previous life, the Xiling base was near the largest reservoir in the west. It was a living area built on the reservoir. It was hundreds of kilometers away from Hantan Village. How did Mu Gui come here
Su Mian looked at Mu Ling sharply. Mu and Mu were homophones. She should have thought that Mu Ling was a member of the Mu family.
"Hello, Su Mian, I am Mu Ling's cousin, Mu Gui." Mu Gui smiled, secretly surprised.
He has not seen such a transparent woman for many years. The human body is like a container. When a baby is born, it is most pure. After that, the older it grows, the more dirt it becomes. But Su Mian gave him a feeling that was transparent and clean from the inside out. Feeling like, is she also a person with superpowers
And he is a person with supernatural abilities who can cultivate his body
Mu Gui looked at Su Mian, nodded with a smile, and said, "Mu Ling is on vacation, and I happened to be driving nearby. I heard that the scenery here is good, so I wanted to come and have a meal of wild game in the mountains. I hope I won't disturb you and grandma."
Mu Gui said and smiled at Grandma Su, releasing the unique affinity of the Mu family.
Grandma Su saw that he was humble, gentle and polite, and so handsome, so she smiled and said: "There are a lot of game in the mountains, so it's not a nuisance. It's just that we can't accept this gift."
"This is for the villagers. Last time Mu Ling ate, you didn't take the money. If you don't accept the gift again, we will be embarrassed." Mu Gui smiled, looked at the silent Su Mian again, and said, "Su Mian, Can you take a step to speak?"
"Okay." Su Mian nodded, put down the bamboo basket, pointed to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and said, "Let's go to the entrance of the village to talk."
The two of them walked under the banyan tree, with Mu Ling standing aside.
"Mr. Mu, please tell me something."
"Miss Su, I want to stay in Hantan Village for a while. Do you think it can be convenient? You can decide the price, how about it?" Mu Gui showed his signature smile, not daring to take this delicate-faced girl lightly.
He had already learned a lot about Hantan Village from the villagers' mouths just now. He did not expect that a twenty-year-old girl was actually in charge of this village, and he suspected that Sumian knew something about the end of the world.
Su Mian lowered her eyes, her long and curled eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. Mu Gui didn't know her, but she knew Mu Gui's details very clearly. All the talk about living in a sojourn to cultivate himself was nonsense. He was probably interested in her. After arriving at Hantan Village in the back mountain, they should bring the Mu clan to build a survival base. Thinking of the Xiling base being built in Hantan Village in the end of the world, Su Mian's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Our village has been isolated from the world all year round, with inconvenient transportation and inconvenient life. It is not suitable for self-cultivation. Jincheng has beautiful mountains and clear waters, a beautiful environment, and has the largest reservoir in the southwest. Why don't Mr. Mu go there to recuperate?" Su Mian refused. Jincheng Reservoir is The location of the Xiling base in the previous life.
The construction of the four major bases is close to mountains and rivers, and water resources are extremely important in the apocalyptic furnace.
Mu Gui's smile faded slightly, and he was secretly surprised. What an amazing little girl. Jincheng was the place he had chosen two days ago. If he didn't know about the existence of Hantan Village, he would indeed go to Jincheng.
Now that the Luo family, Feng family and Qin family have chosen their living places, he is also in the process of transferring supplies.
"Although there is a southwest reservoir in Jincheng, I prefer Hantan Village. I heard that there is a Hantan in the back mountain, which is the best place to escape the summer heat."
"Hantan is too small, not as comfortable as a reservoir, and is inconvenient for food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Hantan can be dug deep and big, and I can take care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation. Miss Su is still a sophomore, right? It's not easy for one person to bear the livelihood of the whole village. Why don't you just lie down and collect the money?" Mu Gui smiled.
Su Mian: "..."
She had more money in her account than she could spend. She bought mountains of supplies and hired a construction team to go into the mountains. She has spent less than 10 million so far, and she still has 70 million that she has nowhere to spend.
"I have money!" Su Mian smiled.
"Su Mian, I hope you can help. We came to Hantan Village because we had no choice. If you have any problems, you can ask us and we will definitely help you solve them." Mu Ling said with some anxiety, "Cousin, why not Tell Su Mian the truth."
Mu Gui was silent for a moment and said: "Although Miss Su is rich, you, a young girl, plus a dozen lonely elderly people and children, will inevitably suffer if you meet someone with evil intentions. Mu Ling is a major in the Southwest Military Region. My family is clean, my character is good, and I am absolutely trustworthy. As for my Mu family, it is a home of gentlemen. How about you cooperate with me, Miss Su? You rent the land, and I will protect the safety of the whole village. How about that?"
Mu Gui took out the document from his bag, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "By the way, I bought all the hills within a twenty-mile radius of Hantan Village. I can now be considered a Hantan Villager."
Su Mian looked at the document with the official seal, and her expression suddenly changed. The Xiling base in the previous life was obviously in Jincheng. Could it be that in this life, he returned to his hometown early, met Mu Ling, and was discovered by him in the Millennium Cold Pond, which caused the butterfly effect
The Mu family is quite reasonable. If it were any other family, they would just use their power to move out of Hantan Village.
Su Mian gritted her teeth and raised her eyes to look at him, her dark pupils were clear: "Cooperation is possible, I have conditions. If you keep my whole village safe, I will waive your rent for one year. And half of Hantan in the back mountain belongs to you." The rights belong to me, and there is no time limit. We sign a gentleman’s agreement, or you can come back after one year.”
Mu Gui and Mu Ling both looked at her sideways. This little girl was so beautiful and fierce at the same time. She was so brutal in negotiations.
With a smile on his lips, Mu Gui nodded and said, "Miss Su, happy cooperation. We will be neighbors from now on."
