The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 324 Supplies in Place_1

Qi Xuelan’s face suddenly flushed, and she stammered, "That was too dangerous of you."

"If she talks about our affair as a trivial matter to her husband, your situation will be even more dangerous," Li Qing shook his head and said, "Although what I’m doing seems a bit despicable, it’s the only permanent solution."

He deliberately hid a very critical reason: Sister Hu seemed to have some feelings for him as well.

Last night, Sister Hu resisted so much at first, probably because he was too abrupt.

"Although the problem is solved, the trouble you caused should naturally be resolved by you. Why should I show off? Wishful thinking!" Qi Xuelan said with a smirk, glaring at Li Qing.

Li Qing chuckled.

Given the current situation, staying here one more day seemed quite nice.

He stretched against the rising morning sun.

The morning sun is infinitely beautiful, so are the days trapped in the valley... quite beautiful.

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the mouth of the valley.

The scene before them took Li Qing by surprise.

Rubble had collapsed, dust billowed, and ahead appeared to be a downright barren wasteland.

The fallen rock piles were nearly as tall as the towering cliffs on the left side of the valley entrance, almost twenty meters high.

And that was just what could be seen; who knew how broad it was beyond sight.

"We should stay further away; this place could collapse at any moment now!" Li Qing said with concern.

The scale of the debris made him very worried about his own life.

Qi Xuelan hummed softly, nervously observing the towering stone pillars around them.

The daunting and stunning beauty of the Nine-Turn Stone Forest at that moment was like a death knell urging them on.

For both of them, spending even a moment longer in this place felt like swinging on a scythe held by the Grim Reaper.

Li Qing called Guide Song, urging her to send the supplies quickly.

Not long after hanging up the phone, a green arm rose from the distance, swung a half circle, and stopped above the gorge, just barely taller than the pile of rubble.

Li Qing didn’t know the exact length, but the crane that had to be dozens of meters long nearly failed to clear the pile of rubble.

This made Li Qing finally understand why Guide Song said lifting people out was dangerous.

This damn thing, it’s not just falling—it’s over if you even scrape it a little!

To cherish his life, Li Qing still thought it was safer to hunker down inside for a while longer.

The shed was in an open area; unless the rock walls on both sides collapsed inward at the same time, they generally wouldn’t threaten them.

A steel cable was lowered from the crane.

Once it was stable, Li Qing unhooked a large bundle from it.

Then he called Guide Song, indicating they had received the supplies.

Inside the package was quite a lot, so much that even Li Qing struggled a bit to lift it by himself.

After giving two portions of water to Qi Xuelan, he shouldered the package.

Not daring to linger in this dangerous place, they grabbed the supplies and speedily evacuated.

The shed door was wide open, Sister Hu had already lit the stove and was carefully sweeping the rubbish inside with a bundle of paper.

"Why is there so much?" she asked in surprise when she saw Li Qing return with a mountain of supplies on his back.

"I don’t know what it is, it’s all arranged by Guide Song," Li Qing said as he dropped the bundle on the bed and opened it, "Wow, it’s quite complete, there’s even a pot for boiling water."

"Great, bring it here, and I’ll boil some hot water for us to drink," Sister Hu said joyfully.

"There’s even tea here!" Li Qing was astonished.

All at once, it was as if they had struck it rich.

"Guide Song is pretty attentive," Sister Hu said with a laugh, taking the kettle and tea leaves.

"If something happens to us, the travel agency would have to take responsibility. Even though we can’t get out, she must have made sure to take care of everything else," Qi Xuelan said.

Li Qing took everything out of the package.

Compressed biscuits, instant noodles, a kerosene lamp, two blankets, three bottles of water, as well as a small knife, a military shovel, and so on.

There were quite a few miscellaneous little things in a mess, and even more outrageous was that she had even included a pack of playing cards.

"Guide Song really is attentive, she prepared everything you could need," Li Qing had to marvel. With these supplies, it felt like they were instantly on a camping trip in the wilderness.

Apart from the still considerable dangers of the place, the standard of living had suddenly elevated.

"You two rest for a while, I’ll tidy up," Sister Hu volunteered excitedly.

"These two blankets, one for laying down and the other for covering, we can squeeze in a bit, right?"

The moment she asked this, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Qi Xuelan blushed and looked outside.

Li Qing remained silent, but his thoughts swiftly became lively.

Sister Hu seemed to have thought of something, too, her face turning red as she glanced at Li Qing.

Without saying anything, she spread one blanket on the bed and placed the other one aside.

Li Qing watched with amusement as the two women busied themselves, then stood up to hang the kerosene lamp on the wall.

With these two items, plus the light from the stove, it should be much brighter at night.

After tidying everything up, the three of them took out the instant noodles that Guide Song had prepared and each soaked a bowl.

Even though they only went hungry last night, that bowl of instant noodles seemed like an unbeatable delicacy in their eyes.

Li Qing ate his clean, without leaving a drop of soup.

From the direction of the valley’s entrance, there was a faint rumbling of machinery and the thunderous sound of rocks breaking.

Sister Hu and Qi Xuelan, feeling restless after eating and drinking their fill, had initially planned to go out for a walk.

But hearing the distant sounds, they immediately dismissed the idea of going out.

Although small, this shelter was designed by a professional designer.

It was conveniently in the most open area of Zhulong Valley.

Li Qing had also observed it carefully before and indeed, this little metal house should not be underestimated.

Even if the surrounding cliffs were to collapse suddenly, the chances of them hitting this metal house were slim.

So, staying here was indeed the safest option.

Bored, the three resorted to using the playing cards that Guide Song had thoughtfully provided. The three of them playing Landlord was just perfect.

As the day wore on, the tin house became increasingly hot.

In summer, such houses are like steaming baskets.

Even with the door open and the windows ajar, the feeling of dry heat was still there.

"I feel like I’m about to be cooked!" said Qi Xuelan, fanning herself with a piece of cardboard, lamenting.

"That’s how summers are in high-altitude areas, scorching hot during the day but possibly cold at night, not to mention we’re in such a tin house, it’s definitely going to be even hotter," Sister Hu said, fanning her skirt continuously.

Watching the occasional revealing moments of the two women, Li Qing felt a surge of warmth rising quietly in his heart.
