Chapter 290 Team Conflict
Tian Zhenzhen simply smiled when she heard Liu Xu's words.
Seeing Tian Zhenzhen's smile, Liu Xu thought that his words had been approved by Tian Zhenzhen, and he kept talking the whole way.
Although Tian Zhenzhen doesn't like chatting with strangers, some people are naturally gifted at quickly bridging the gap between people without making them feel annoying.
Clearly, Liu Xu is such a scoundrel.
Seeing that the main force had already set off, Lao Yan urged Qi Ge and the other three to hurry up.
After what happened yesterday, Lao Yan felt that this place was strange.
He couldn't figure out what was strange about it for the time being.
So far, we haven't encountered any danger.
Knowing that persuading Qi Ge to leave was unrealistic, he could only be cautious, believing that with his strength and background, no one would dare to offend them.
At this time, following the main group is simply for the sake of safety.
Old Yan urged them on, and Qi Ge and Wei Guang quickly got ready.
Next was Bai Qiu.
Today, her casual outfit makes her look even younger, exuding the youthful energy unique to young girls.
"Brother Qi, I'm ready. Shall we set off now? Wait, where's Sister Linlin? Isn't she ready yet?"
"That's true, Sister Linlin is clearly someone who knows how to dress, so naturally she spends more time on it than us."
Bai Qiu flashed her signature smile. She was quite pretty, and she kept calling him "brother," so Qi Ge obligingly reached out and affectionately patted the top of her head.
"Your sister Linlin is still tidying up."
As soon as Qi Ge finished speaking, Lin Lin hurriedly walked out of the room.
As soon as they came out, they saw Qi Ge affectionately stroking Bai Qiu's hair, and Bai Qiu looked shy.
Seeing this, Linlin was furious.
She knew Bai Qiu would cause trouble, so she rushed out of the room when she heard the noise, which meant she hadn't even finished her makeup.
"Sister Linlin, you're finally out! We've been waiting for you to set off."
That damn little bitch is pretending to be innocent again. Linlin is only 24 years old this year, four years older than Bai Qiu.
"Bai Qiu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're in such a hurry! Your hair is all messed up and you haven't even tidied it up properly."
You're asking your brother Qi for help? He doesn't know how to do these things.
Let me tidy up for you.
Linlin walked over, and Qi Ge naturally withdrew his hand.
But he had nothing to be embarrassed about.
Although Linlin is his girlfriend now, he can't possibly marry her.
He would naturally marry a girl from a similar social class; otherwise, he would be laughed at by his friends in the industry.
He's not even my wife, so there's no point in worrying about him.
"No need, I can tidy up myself," Bai Qiu refused.
"No need to be so polite. It's just a small gesture. You're being too formal, Sister Bai Qiu."
As Linlin spoke, she reached out to tidy Bai Qiu's hair.
However, her actions were anything but gentle. She even took the opportunity to pull out a large clump of Bai Qiu's hair, causing Bai Qiu to grimace in pain and almost swear.
"Brother Qi, let's go."
Bai Qiu was in pain; she had originally wanted to show the three men Linlin's evil deeds.
Unexpectedly, Linlin didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
"Let's go."
With Qi Ge's call, Bai Qiu had no choice but to give up.
We can't let her situation affect our schedule; it wouldn't be good if it upsets Brother Qi.
However, she remembered this grudge; how dare an old woman treat her like that.
“You’re going out? Climbing mountains is hard work. I’ve prepared a bottle of water for each of you as an apology for being disturbed by the insects last night.”
Miao Duo came out carrying five bottles of water.
"You've got a really clever plan. We've spent so much money to stay here, and all you're going to do is give us a bottle of water in return."
I won't drink this kind of water that costs two yuan a bottle.
Linlin mocked Miao Duo and left with a disdainful look.
Old Yan was also wary and did not go to fetch water.
In the end, only Bai Qiu showed an apologetic expression and said to Miao Duo:
"That's just Linlin's personality. She's not a bad person at heart. Thank you for the water, sister."
As Bai Qiu spoke, she took all the bottles of water and held them like a well-behaved child.
Thinking that she would bring out the water after everyone had finished drinking, she thought it would show that she was considerate.
In contrast to Linlin, she completely outshone Linlin.
Old Yan also saw this scene, but he did not say anything to stop it.
The five of them walked at the back. Miao Duo watched the departing figures of the others, a look of interest in her eyes.
The water she prepared should be drunk; it's better to use it as a breeding ground for her Gu worms than to use it as a sacrificial offering.
At least, he won't die so young.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, we finally climbed up Miaoling Mountain.
The mountain path was relatively easy to walk at first, but the higher you went, the more complex the surrounding environment became.
The area is covered with fallen leaves and dead branches. You have to use your tools to cut a path every few steps, otherwise it's impossible to pass.
This greatly slowed down the progress of the climb.
Qi Ge and the other five caught up from behind.
"Do we count as pioneers? I've never walked such a difficult path before."
Now that the Miao Mountains are ablaze, those who come after us will truly benefit from our good fortune.
Someone was cutting down tree branches blocking the way and couldn't help but complain.
They originally came to find the savages, but unexpectedly ended up chopping wood.
"Of course, we're going to have to work hard. At this pace, we don't even know if we'll be halfway up the mountain by noon."
"Then let's speed things up. Everyone should take turns doing the work. Some people shouldn't just wait to enjoy the fruits of others' labor."
"You act like pampered princesses, doing absolutely nothing, as if we're your maids."
The speaker was Li Wan, the girl who had previously looked down on Tian Zhenzhen.
Her name doesn't quite match her appearance.
Her words were deliberately aimed at Tian Zhenzhen.
Liu Xu was very talkative along the way. If Tian Zhenzhen hadn't been so tight-lipped, Liu Xu probably would have gotten her home address out of her.
However, Liu Xu was even happier after learning that Tian Zhenzhen was studying in Haishi.
Because he is from Haishi.
This also means that we can still keep in touch after we go back.
Tian Zhenzhen naturally understood that Li Wan's words were directed at her, and she immediately retorted.
"I originally planned to wait until you got tired so we could take over."
I never expected that someone who looks so straightforward would be so petty.
"I haven't even complained about how slow you are at clearing the way, and you're already grumbling."
Tian Zhenzhen wasn't wrong about her. In the road-clearing team, it was all the men who did the heavy work. Li Wan only cut some small branches at most.
"What did you say? We're putting in so much effort here, and you're complaining that we're too slow?"
If you're so capable, don't lag behind; let's see who's faster.
Li Wan was very indignant. She had only intended to say a few words, but she didn't expect the other party to be so tactless.
Li Wan's words were agreed upon by several of the pathfinders.
Nobody wants to work hard only to be criticized.
Tian Zhenzhen didn't say anything about them, but the words came out of Li Wan's mouth and took on a different meaning.
"Yes, we worked hard to clear the road, how can you say that?"
"If you're so capable, don't just talk the talk; you've got the walk."
Some people were easily provoked by a few words, while others, being more astute, realized that it was Li Wan who spoke first.
However, this was just a hastily assembled group, and most people chose to watch the show.
"Okay, let's have a competition." Tian Zhenzhen complained that they were too slow.
If she hadn't wanted to see what Duan Hong was up to, she would have flown there long ago.
"You want to compete with me? What do you have to compete with me with? None of you three brought anything. Do you want to compete with me bare-handed?"
"So, you're relying on your face to seduce Liu Xu into competing for you?"
"I don't see you have any other skills, but you're quite good at seducing people."
When Li Wan saw that Tian Zhenzhen had actually agreed to compete with her, she immediately smiled.
"Li Wan, you're going too far with your words. Tian Zhenzhen and the others just lack experience."
Besides, I'm part of the team, and it's my duty to clear the way.
