I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 205 New and old grudges

205

Qin Tao and others all had some injuries on their bodies.

After returning to the camp, we immediately found the first aid kit and started treating the wounded.

Zhou Xiaozhou also stepped forward anxiously: "What happened?"

"Hey, don't mention it," Qin Tao said with a gloomy look on his face, "It's still those damn monkeys."

It turned out that they had just walked out for a short distance when they ran into the group of monkeys again.

This grudge had been formed a long time ago, and the enemies were extremely jealous of each other when they met.

The two sides went back and forth, and neither side gained any advantage.

Qin Tao originally thought that it was better to have less trouble than more, or he would just give in and avoid these unevolved beasts.

Unexpectedly, he had sharp eyes and immediately saw a tattered man lying among the monkeys.

Zhou Xiaozhou looked in the direction Qin Tao pointed, and saw a bloody humanoid figure lying on the ground. A group of teammates surrounded him, examining him and applying medicine.

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't see clearly who they were, but he saw several of Xu Bin's men surrounding him, and they looked anxious.

She had a rough idea in her mind.

"Is it Xu Bin?"

Qin Tao frowned and nodded.

"It's a mysterious thing to say. We haven't seen him since the landslide a few days ago. We thought he was just unlucky and was buried like everyone else. Who would have thought that the monkeys dug him out. Look, he's covered in dirt."

Zhou Xiaozhou took a quick look and it was indeed the case. The blood mixed with mud made it a mess.

"Those monkeys were the first to confront him, and somehow they dug him out."

Qin Tao was holding a grass stem in his mouth, and his frown was enough to kill a fly.

Zhou Xiaozhou knew that Qin Tao was a little worried now. He also understood that the temporary camp, which seemed to be peaceful, would probably be divided into two groups.

Originally, Xu Bin had disappeared, and Qin Tao could barely command his men.

Now that Xu Bin is back, it will probably be difficult for Qin Tao to manage his subordinates.

Where there are people, there are disputes. This is the world (workplace)!

But Zhou Xiaozhou had no other good idea but to help Captain Qin. She had something more important to do now and wanted to confirm with Qin Tao.

"Captain Qin," Zhou Xiaozhou said carefully, "Have you looked around? I just climbed up the mountain over there and looked around. This environment doesn't look right!"

Qin Tao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Zhou Xiaozhou was such a sharp observer.

He asked tentatively: "Did you figure it out?"

Zhou Xiaozhou nodded frantically: "It's the Lai'an Village where we are that has been hit by a disaster."

Isn’t this disaster self-inflicted?

As for what exactly caused this, it’s hard to say.

Qin Tao rolled his eyes, feeling that he had been thinking about trivial things every day.

Looking at Qin Tao's big, bright eyes staring at him, Zhou Xiaozhou was so embarrassed that he picked his toes.

Just then Xiao Hu came over and whispered something into Qin Tao's ear.

"Speak louder," Qin Tao glared at Xiao Hu in annoyance, "We are just a small group now, what else can we hide? Maybe we have to confess everything here, so just speak out and be open."

When Xiao Hu heard this, he had no choice but to agree.

"Boss, we didn't pick many fruits today. I don't think it will be enough to eat."

It is true that a person is like his soldiers. This Xiao Hu is a straightforward person and I will tell you what I mean.

Zhou Xiaozhou looked at Qin Tao and scratched his head.

We are about to run out of food. It’s not easy to be a captain!

At this time, Qin Tao wished that the person lying on the ground could become him.

Looking at the person on the ground who seemed to be breathing out more than breathing in, Qin Tao thought about it and decided to give up and continue scratching his head!

Zhou Xiaozhou remembered something at this time and quickly told Qin Tao: "We just brought 2,000 kilograms of rice into the village two days ago. Did you go to the village to look for it?"

Qin Tao shook his head: "Xiao Zhou, there is no village here. Didn't you see it? It has become like this. This kid can't find his way."

Zhou Xiaozhou looked at Wu Sanmei and others who were following beside him.

Yes, she was in a hurry and forgot about it again.

"Xiao Hu!" Qin Tao continued to talk to the team members, "Isn't there a forest behind? Have you picked the fruits there?"

The little beard rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Boss, aren't the ones in the back picked first? Or did you lead me there?"

Qin Tao became bald in an instant.

After a while, he said, "Well, how about getting two monkeys to eat? I think your hand is healed now. Wait a minute, will you come with me?"

Xiao Hu rolled his eyes to the sky, said nothing, and left without looking back.

It was the middle finger he raised to the sky when he left that betrayed his emotions.

Qin Tao wanted to say something, but his lips moved and nothing came out.

In this miserable situation, we can only try to find joy in the midst of suffering.

Soon, Xu Bin was wrapped like a mummy and sent to a nearby tent.

"Captain Qin, our captain needs further treatment, which cannot be done here." The person who spoke was Xu Bin's man, a man with a very dark round face.

Qin Tao nodded, and then looked bitter: "I know that, but there is no way to send him back now."

Retracting his neck that he had stretched out to look over there, Qin Tao continued, "I just checked, most of the injuries are superficial. I'll give him anti-inflammatory drugs later. I don't know if there's any problem with his internal organs. Let him lie on the ground for two days to recuperate. You guys keep an eye on him. If there's internal bleeding, it'll be difficult to deal with."

The dark-faced man nodded and went back into the tent.

Qin Tao then continued to talk to Zhou Xiaozhou: "Hey! Xiao Zhou, have you been to the county town below? Is it far?"

County town? Zhou Xiaozhou didn't know why Qin Tao asked about the county town.

She answered honestly: "It's not far, but we can't find the way now!"

Qin Tao thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no road, as long as I know the general direction."

Qin Tao turned around and called the two people over and continued, "Look, we have nothing to eat and we are almost out of drinks here. Let's go to the county town and see if we can get some food."

The two teammates who came over were not missing any limbs, but their faces were scratched by the monkey and were bleeding.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Qin Tao ordered: "You two get ready, we will go to the county town later."

Zhou Xiaozhou now recalled the bad memories of his last trip to Kuching County.

Zhou Xiaozhou expressed his concerns: "Captain Qin, your county is also quite strange. You may not be able to move forward without an identity. Take me with you!"

Qin Tao had heard about the matter of identity before, but when he saw Zhou Xiaozhou took the initiative to volunteer, he was of course very happy.

It would be easier if we had someone we knew traveling with us.

At that moment, they packed lightly and prepared to set off.

Zhou Xiaozhou asked Wu Sanmei to take good care of the two children and he would come back after finishing his work.

Wu Sanmei took the two children and followed them for a long distance before returning.

Zhou Xiaozhou had a lot of feelings when he came to Kuching County for the second time.

The county town is still the same as before, with people coming and going, and it doesn't seem to be very populated.

Four outsiders didn’t know which way the road was heading. How should they get to the rice store?

It was Zhou Xiaozhou who relied on his remaining memory and led people to Yang's Grain Store.

On the way, I also met some people who were sweeping people with a stick.

Only then did Zhou Xiaozhou realize that something was wrong.

She seemed to have forgotten something very important.

She is the only one with a registered household here. Isn't this a bad thing?

After much persuasion, Qin Tao and the other two people following her were relatives from her hometown who came to seek refuge with her and were about to be taken to the government office to handle household registration.

The person who stopped the road inspection let them leave and urged them to hurry up, otherwise they would not be so easy to deal with if they met other patrolmen next time.

But you have to pay money to the government office to register your household registration!

Where would they get the money here? Zhou Xiaozhou could only think of going to the grain store he had been to before and try his luck.

This was the only place she knew of for buying and selling grain.

The waiter of the grain store was dozing off against the door frame, but when he saw someone coming, he immediately perked up.

Although these people were dressed strangely, there were many people wearing strange clothes in Kuching County these days, so he didn't mind it too much.

"What do you want to buy? We have rice, flour, and all kinds of beans."

Seeing the waiter's smiling face, Zhou Xiaozhou and the others smiled along, but they did not feel confident enough.

They have no money and don’t know what they can buy.

Zhou Xiaozhou was smarter. Before coming here, she took the last few cans from Xiao Hu and Xiao Zhang. She didn't know if they had this stuff here, so she decided to give it a try!

"Shopkeeper, I came to buy food from you last time."

Building relationships is the first step. Once the relationships are close, it will be easier to talk about other things.

"Turns out you're an old customer." The clerk smiled and raised his hand to invite Zhou Xiaozhou and others into the store.

Zhou Xiaozhou was a little afraid to move, but Qin Tao led the group and strode in.

The clerk thought Qin Tao was her husband and hurriedly introduced him to them.

"Look, sir. Although this refined rice was collected before the New Year, our store has properly preserved it, so it is still fresh! The husks of this batch were removed just yesterday. I guarantee you will want to eat more after you taste it."

The others remained silent, and Zhou Xiaozhou could only smile awkwardly.

"Shopkeeper, this is the case. We want to buy food, but we have to sell things first. Our goods are rare, so it depends on you whether you will accept them or not."

The waiter stopped and looked at the dead man in front of him. He thought it was an old customer or a big client, but he didn't expect that he came to sell things.

His expression changed immediately, but he didn't say anything unpleasant.

“We don’t accept anything here.”

Zhou Xiaozhou felt a little sad because his hopes were dashed.

Qin Tao was entangled with the big man and had no experience, so he couldn't get a word in.

Several people stared at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a group of people came and headed straight for the Yang family grain store.

The waiter hurriedly came over to greet him: "Boss, you are here."

The woman called "boss" by the waiter was a woman who looked wealthy at first glance.

Zhou Xiaozhou was almost blinded by the big gold bracelet on her wrist.

Looking at the strangely dressed people standing in his shop, the owner asked, "Where are you from?"

Zhou Xiaozhou turned around and responded: "We came down from the mountain."

"On the mountain?"

Looking at the shop owner's puzzled expression, Zhou Xiaozhou and the others were also confused.

Suddenly, the wealthy shop owner circled around the four people several times, making Qin Tao nervous.

Is this awkward?

Then the shop owner stopped working.

"Girls? Where are you from? You don't look like locals! Do you have a household registration? If you don't have a household registration, I will report you to the police."

Listening to the shop owner's teasing words, Zhou Xiaozhou was furious. She thought this might be a good person?

Seeing that the waiter's eyes seemed strange, Zhou Xiaozhou quickly calmed him down.

"There is a registered permanent residence, it is Lai'an Village on Qingfeng Mountain."

When the wealthy woman heard this, she burst into laughter: "Why did you register your household registration there? Are you planning to start in hell mode?"

What?

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't quite understand again.

The shop owner laughed enough and continued, "Let me see, what did you say you wanted to sell? Bring it here for me to see."

Zhou Xiaozhou hesitated, not knowing whether he should take out the cans in his hand.

It was Qin Tao who came forward, grabbed her backpack, and put all the cans on the counter.

He quickly said, "Boss, you see, your family sells food, and we can eat this, too."

Zhou Xiaozhou saw the man with the big gold bracelet take a few cans and weigh them: "What is this?"

"Open the can, there's food inside. This is canned pork."

Qin Tao recognized the logo on the can.

"Pork? You have pigs?"

Zhou Xiaozhou and the others didn't know how to respond to this. They looked at each other in bewilderment!

But the big gold bracelet didn't ask any more questions: "Okay! You can sell it to me, how much do you want to sell it for?"

Here, everyone looks at me and I look at you, and no one knows the price?

Just looking at their appearance with that big gold bracelet, you can tell that they are a bunch of newbies.

"So what kind of food do you want to buy?"

"Rice."

Zhou Xiaozhou spoke first: "We want to exchange some rice. Is it convenient for you, boss?"

"Okay, hey," the big gold bracelet instructed the clerk who had just received Zhou Xiaozhou and his group to bring them two bags of rice.

Qin Tao looked at the rice that was just in his hands and felt a little dazed.

These two big bags weigh an estimated 100 kilograms and will last for a while.

Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't express his gratitude enough. He really met a good person!

"Sister, thank you sister!"

As expected, the one who took the favor started calling her "sister" and "sister".

The lady with the big gold bracelet waved her hand and said, "It's okay. We are all family. It's only natural for us to help each other if there is any problem."

Zhou Xiaozhou continued to be confused. Why was it that what this elder sister said was so confusing and hard to understand?

Seeing Zhou Xiaozhou's puzzled expression, the elder sister said nothing more and waved her hand to let them leave first.

"Hurry up and take your things back! The county has been a bit unstable these days. Don't hang around here if you don't have a registered permanent residence."

Zhou Xiaozhou was shocked. How could this person know everything?

"Your expression is really funny." The big gold bracelet said again: "Don't worry! I'm not a bad person, I'm just a little curious when I see you like this."

What's wrong with us? Zhou Xiaozhou felt that this sister always left things unsaid, which made people feel flustered.

No, I have to let this sister talk more, it would be best if she could help her clarify all the doubts in her heart.
