The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 323 Unforeseen Changes_1

"Did you just force yourself on me? Do you know that?" Sister Hu’s face darkened as she asked angrily.

Li Qing silently nodded.

He of course knew.

But when he saw that hint of a smile at the corner of Sister Hu’s mouth, he felt no worry at all.

Without any surprise, he should have already conquered this mature woman of fine standing.

"We’ll settle this score later, hurry back. Xue Lan must have noticed by now," Sister Hu glared at Li Qing and said.

Li Qing took out his trousers, "Sister Hu, wipe it off before going back."

Sister Hu, however, held up her own pink panties, "I’ve already wiped it. You owe me a new pair."

"Owe, owe, definitely owe!" Li Qing said repeatedly.

His attitude was extremely sincere.

This hurdle, at last, was safely overcome.

To say he wasn’t nervous would be a lie.

If Sister Hu really pursued the matter, he feared he might truly take a fall he couldn’t recover from.

They tiptoed back to the shack, where it seemed Qi Xuelan had already fallen asleep on the bed.

Li Qing gestured with his hands and mouth for Sister Hu to go to bed first, while he added a few more sticks of firewood to the stove.

The crackling fire suddenly grew brighter, illuminating the entire room a bit more.

Sister Hu looked at Li Qing with a complex expression and lay down on the dry bed planks.

Li Qing also got into bed afterward but did not lie next to Qi Xuelan. Instead, he honestly lay down at the foot of the bed.

Just as he lay down, he suddenly felt a foot coming over, giving him a fierce kick.

Li Qing turned over and saw Qi Xuelan’s fierce gaze.

"Shush!"

He gestured for her to keep her voice down and shook his head.

The commotion he and Sister Hu had made outside was obviously overheard by Qi Xuelan.

This woman was angry!

But at this moment, Li Qing had no way to explain.

Sister Hu had just lain down and was definitely not asleep yet.

Seeing Li Qing’s gesture, Qi Xuelan’s annoyance intensified, and she kicked him hard again.

He had just been intimate with her, perhaps still carrying her warmth, yet he went on to flirt with Sister Hu.

Remembering the serious consequences she had taken upon herself, even relinquishing her bottom line...

And yet this bastard Li Qing turned around to sweet-talk another woman, making all that noise.

Qi Xuelan couldn’t help wanting to cry and even more, to strangle Li Qing with her own hands!

Li Qing was anxious in his heart but had no solution, he couldn’t explain now.

Qi Xuelan kicked Li Qing twice and saw that Li Qing had no intention of speaking.

Her face turned livid, she snorted coldly, and turned over to sleep.

Seeing this, Li Qing sighed helplessly.

What could he do? If he explained now and Sister Hu overheard, he would offend another person.

In a daze, Li Qing fell asleep without knowing when.

The next day before dawn, Li Qing was suddenly woken by a ringing phone.

He opened his eyes groggily, and to his surprise, it was a call from Guide Song.

"Are you guys okay?" Guide Song asked anxiously.

"Still alive, and can still sleep," Li Qing rubbed his eyes and said.

"There’s been a bit of an unexpected situation, I’m afraid you all will have to wait a bit longer," Guide Song said.

Upon hearing these words, Li Qing immediately tensed up, his drowsiness vanished in an instant, "What do you mean?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"The construction team triggered some kind of chain reaction while clearing the debris, completely collapsing the entrance of Zhulong Valley. Two bulldozers were buried underneath, and a rescue operation is underway now," Guide Song explained.

Li Qing was utterly bewildered.

How could this happen again!

"Is everyone okay?" Li Qing asked.

"We don’t know for sure yet, but it seems like one of the bulldozers is okay, just trapped like you guys," Guide Song said, "Are you currently facing any difficulties?"

"We have plenty of difficulties, for starters, we’re out of water and food," Li Qing said despondently.

What is this mess!

"Right now, we’re discussing with the construction and fire brigades. Our initial plan is to use a crane to send some food and clothing to you, and you’ll have to hold on a little while longer," Guide Song explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing’s eyes immediately lit up, "If you can send food, why not just lift us out?"

"That’s not possible, the danger is too high. Without professional training, if you slip, you’re done for," Guide Song hastily said, "This is the solution provided by the fire brigade. You’re in an open area, holding out is the safest method. Whether it’s rappelling or using the crane, both are extremely risky."

Li Qing was completely numb.

Alright, if it’s the fire brigade’s plan, he wouldn’t compete in professionalism.

Just stay put, it’s better than falling off or getting buried in a wall.

At this moment, Qi Xuelan and Sister Hu woke up too.

Qi Xuelan, just having woken up, still had a deep resentment in her eyes when she looked at Li Qing.

She glared at Li Qing and asked, "What’s happening now? How much longer do we have to wait?"

Li Qing recounted to the two women what Guide Song had just told him.

"So we still have to wait..." Sister Hu sighed faintly.

"If the fire brigade says so, then there’s nothing we can do, let’s just wait," Qi Xuelan said, and then shot Li Qing a sharp look.

Li Qing could only offer a bitter smile in response.

She really held a grudge.

"I’ll go to the entrance to get the food. They should be sending it over shortly," Li Qing said as he got up.

There was already a hint of light outside, dawn was about to break.

"Wait, I’ll go with you," Qi Xuelan said, emphasizing every word heavily.

Sister Hu rubbed her bleary eyes, "You go ahead, I’ll get the fire started. We’re wearing too little, it’s cold in the morning at this altitude, don’t catch a cold."

Li Qing didn’t feel much, but seeing Sister Hu constantly rubbing her arms, she indeed seemed chilled.

The three of them divided the tasks and then got busy each with their own.

After leaving the metal shed, Li Qing looked back at Qi Xuelan with a smile, "Does Qi Jie have something to tell me?"

Qi Xuelan taking the initiative to come with him was obviously a sign she had something to say.

"It’s you, who should be saying something to me, right?" Qi Xuelan said, glaring, her words almost punctuated with a pause after each one.

Li Qing smiled and leaned in close to Qi Xuelan, whispering, "I got Sister Hu as well, now you don’t have to worry about the consequences of being found out by Qi Jie, do you?"

"Huh?" Qi Xuelan froze for a moment, then stood there gaping, "You did that just because of this?"

"What else?" Li Qing huffed lightly, "I took a huge risk doing it."

"How could you dare do that? And she didn’t refuse?" Qi Xuelan said incredulously.

She thought Li Qing and Sister Hu must have had secret dealings already.

"Of course she refused, but I forced her for you," Li Qing said irritably, "So, shouldn’t you be showing some proper gratitude now?"
