Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps
Chapter 444: Kneel and lick or pursue?
It was Qiao Hong who served Liu Ying with soup and hospitality.
The latter's face was red, his hands were trembling, and he looked honest and dull.
Twice in a row, the archaeological team tried to pretend they couldn't see it, but failed.
Although Liu Ying is not very popular, her objective conditions are there. She is from a good family background and is beautiful. She is as good as a white swan in school.
As for Qiao Hong, we can't say that he is a toad, but he is definitely different from Liu Ying. Such a person, whether he wants to pursue the white swan or wants to devote himself unilaterally, is an insult to the white swan.
So Liu Ying was very angry, but she couldn't refuse the noodle soup.
The Hutu River is a strange place. It is surprisingly dry, with no trace of moisture in the air.
Since arriving here, everyone has become much dryer, as if all the excess moisture in the body has been sucked into the air.
A bowl of ordinary noodle soup, in Liu Ying's eyes, was more tempting than the white fungus and bird's nest she had tasted.
She could reject Qiao Hong without hesitation and step on him, but she couldn't refuse the noodle soup.
After hesitating again and again, Liu Ying stiffly twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Thank you then. I'll give you the bowl in my hand in exchange."
The big guy's jaw almost hit the ground. It's one thing to accept a favor unilaterally, but it's another thing to exchange it with the noodle soup in your hand.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Ying wants to drink soup but doesn't want to owe Qiao Hong any favors.
What everyone didn't expect was that Qiao Hong nodded honestly, "Okay, I was just going to drink something thick."
Just like that, Liu Ying exchanged a little bit of batter for a big bowl of noodle soup.
Regardless of the heat, she didn't even sit down firmly on her butt before taking a big sip.
The whole room was full of the sound of slurping and sipping soup. Growing up, we had to eat food every day, but this was the first time that everyone felt that food was so fragrant. This noodle soup was really delicious.
After eating and drinking, everyone felt energetic.
The deputy station director smiled and said, "Then take a rest early."
Peng Dalin quickly pulled him aside and said, "Well, we have eaten. Can you give everyone some drinking water?"
"It's not that I won't distribute it. There is a fixed amount of drinking water, one teapot per person per day. When the water was distributed this morning, you guys hadn't arrived yet, so there wasn't any.
The jug of water we brought with us when we were picked up at the station was provided by our own share. "The deputy webmaster was very helpless.
Peng Dalin blinked. He never expected that it would be so difficult to take a sip of water. "Who is responsible for distributing water? Can you deal with him?"
"The border defense station sends water trucks to pull water every day. There are so many of them that one truck of water is not enough. If they can evenly give a mouthful to the weather station, it is already a fishy situation for the military and civilians."
According to the deputy station director, the border station also wanted to pull in more water, but the water tanker was only so big and it was useless to try to deal with it.
Peng Dalin scratched his head, "Can't we send more water trucks?"
The deputy station director pulled him away and said, "I reported it to the superiors a long time ago, but it was not approved. Do you have any idea? Then go and make a call. We have nothing here, but the phone signal is very good."
Peng Dalin was a little confused. He quickly understood the deputy station director's intention. It seemed that the weather station also wanted to order more water, but it never attracted the attention of his superiors.
The archaeological team's stay this time gave the weather station a chance to complain. If Peng Dalin had the road and could ask for an extra truck to deliver water, then the weather station's life would also improve.
Thinking of this, Peng Dalin couldn't help but feel ridiculous and irritated. This deputy station chief seemed to be an honest man, but in fact he was a big slippery man. Even he was used as a gun.
The office of the deputy webmaster is also dry, but the phone authority is indeed very high. Once you pick up the phone, you will be the provincial operator.
According to the deputy station director, this is because the Provincial Meteorological Observatory needs them to provide data.
Peng Dalin got through the phone smoothly. After complaining for a while, he told the reality of the situation.
"Anyway, there is a lack of water, a special lack of water. The comrades have not had a good drink of water for three days. I can still hold on, but there are old comrades and female students in the team, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on.
If the water shortage problem cannot be improved, life will be difficult let alone treasure hunting. "
When the superior heard about this situation, he became anxious and said, "Didn't we agree that the brother unit will receive the reception?"
Peng Dalin glanced at the deputy station director. The latter was sitting next to him. His ears were perked up. He probably heard better than him. He had to say,
“The brothers’ units received us, and the weather station was very enthusiastic. They saved their own bedding and drinking water for us.
But it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Their water is also brought by others. What I mean is, can they coordinate a water tanker specifically for the weather station? "
The superiors said that they attached great importance to this matter and would immediately coordinate and ask Peng Dalin to inform the team members and persist.
The deputy webmaster wanted this effect. Seeing Peng Dalin finish the phone call, he smiled with a smile on his face and reached out to pat Peng Dalin on the shoulder, "Captain Peng, you are so interesting. I'll treat you to a drink. I'm from home." Did you bring it?"
Peng Dalin quickly shook his head, "Thank you very much. If you don't drink, your throat will be filled with smoke. If you drink, I won't be able to survive tonight."
The local conditions are so difficult that they simply exceed everyone’s imagination.
However, no matter how difficult the conditions are, the work that needs to be done cannot stop.
That night, Mr. Lu convened a meeting with several core team members.
Yuanni had already given relevant clues to him. After research, the master and apprentice concluded that the bronze cauldron was hidden on a hill north of the weather station.
According to Mr. Lu, this meeting is a mobilization meeting. It is better to hunt for treasure sooner rather than later. It is best to start tomorrow.
Peng Dalin looked embarrassed, "It's easier said than done. The place is like this. If you go out to hunt for treasures, you have to carry a pot of water, right?"
Several core members looked at each other and thought that what Peng Dalin said made sense.
"The Hutu River is very special. If you stay at the weather station, someone will provide drinking water every day. Once you leave the weather station, you will die of thirst.
I have called my superiors and they said they would coordinate. What I mean is to wait until there is enough water before setting off. "Seeing that no one had any objection to his opinion, Peng Dalin took the opportunity to say.
"That's it..." Mr. Lu thought for a while and was about to speak when Yuan Ni suddenly stood up and reached out to open the door.
The person who was sticking to the door panel to eavesdrop was caught off guard and fell in staggeringly.
Several core members were startled, and when they saw this person clearly, they couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
"Qiao Hong? Why are you eavesdropping?"
