Chapter 1658: A Pie Falling From the Sky

she and her siblings were all raised by Uncle Qi. They had even spent more time with him than with their father, Liu Tiannan."Miss, your master misses you. He wants you to come back for dinner tonight...The old bachelor waited for nightfall, while Li Nanfang looked forward to daybreak.

Due to the difference in geographical location, the sunrise time in eastern coastal China and the northern border of Northwest China is different.

How much is missing, you should ask a geography teacher.

In short, Yue Zichong saw the light when dawn was just breaking, while Li Nanfang endured the wind and sand in the darkness before dawn.

The military sent him at a very opportune time.

Before the first sandstorm of each day hit Shule Ancient County in the early morning, he was sent ten miles away.

He had calculated the time it would take him to reach the site of the ancient county of Su Le by foot, right before the sandstorm hit.

Then, Li Nanfang would have to endure three hours of wind and sand on the ruins of the ancient county of Suerle, waiting for the stillness before Tai Ci rose.

At this time, the people of the ancient county of Shule all hid underground.

No one saw where Li Nanfang came from, the wind and sand would cover up all traces.

Shen Qingwu's materials for him only introduced the task content and did not give any task plan.

How should he do it What identity should he assume to blend into the crowd of this ancient county town and find that satellite hidden by someone Li Nanshan began to ponder this question on his way here.

Only when he personally felt the wind and sand erosion here did he finally come up with the most suitable travel plan.

It was almost dawn.

Li Nanfang looked up towards the east and muttered to himself.

As the fish-belly white in the eastern sky dispersed the darkness, it also brought to an end the furious wind that had raged for several hours.

Without any hesitation, Li Nánfāng took out a wad of bills from his pocket, lay face up on the ground, adjusted his breathing, and stirred the unconscious traveler.

"Click."

Several dozen meters away from where Li Nanting lay, the sound of a cellar door creaking open echoed.

Then, there was a wooden board, thinly covered with a layer of yellow sand.

Li Nanfang was lucky. He chose a random refuge, and it turned out to be near one of the many underground entrances to the ancient county of Shule.

Gu Yao also felt that her luck was pretty good. Otherwise, how could she have just popped up and found a rich person

Gu Yao, whose full name is Gu Na Han Mu Zhazhu Lisi Ke Yao, means "A person favored by the gods" in the local language. Sadly, over the past forty years, Gu Yao has never felt favored by the gods.

If the gods truly favored him, how could they allow him to become someone who earns only a few hundred dollars each month and has to do the most dangerous gatekeeping work

Protecting the underground entrance to the ancient county of Shule is a dangerous job.

On the one hand, one must be wary of strong winds and sandstorms outside that could blow open the wooden entrance boards at any moment, sending a deluge of yellow sand crashing down and burying him alive as the first person entombed in this ancient underground city.

On the other hand, one also has to bear the risk of being confronted by someone with unknown identity, who might point a gun at your head after opening the door.

Over the past few decades, Gu Yao has witnessed her colleagues die in these two ways with her own eyes.

He was still alive.

This seems to be a kind of blessing from the gods.

Unfortunately, Gu Yao didn't realize this. He only worked tirelessly to sell inkstones for hundreds or even millions of yuan for those around him, while he himself was troubled by his monthly salary of only a few hundred yuan.

But today was different.

He picked up a person.

Perhaps a lost traveler, or perhaps a wealthy man who came for the inkstone but miscalculated the time.

Whatever this person's identity is, it doesn't matter.

In short, when Gu Yao saw someone unconscious behind a wall in the ruins of the ancient city, she instinctively stepped forward to check and saw that the person had a sum of money in their hand, which was equivalent to three months' wages for her.

Gu Yao thought this was a smart person.

Smart people shouldn't die, smart wealthy people should feel pity for these poor people and constantly donate money to them.

Then Gu Yao dragged him away, and at the same time, Li Nanfang took the money from his hand and carried Li Lao's men back underground.

"Lao Gu, what did you bring back on your back"

"You stupid Dickuza, may God forgive your foolishness. Couldn't you see this was a living person"

As Gu Yao carried Li Nanfang into the underground, she seemed to have met someone.

The two people's soft conversation could naturally be heard by Li Nanfang, who was pretending to be unconscious.

After listening to meaningless conversation, Mr. Li would simply ignore it and quietly think about his next move.

But when a person is riding a wave of good luck, it's not uncommon to see lucky breaks just falling from the sky.

Lao Gu and the idiot Dickuzha surprisingly provided Li Nanfang with the information he desperately craved during their subsequent exchange.

"Don't talk nonsense, Old Gu. Of course I can see this is a person. What I want to ask you is, do you know his identity Things haven't been peaceful lately. Lao Hei brought back a big guy a few days ago, and it will be soon that soldiers will come here to surround and suppress us. Aren't you afraid that this thing on your body is a soldier"

"When did you join the army Have you ever seen a soldier with tattoos I'll tell you, this is my nephew!"

"Your nephew"

“That's right, my nephew is a rich one, came here to pick up some stuff. He showed up at the wrong time, passed out outside. Or do you think I would have crawled out when the sandstorm just stopped Oh, and Dikuzha, you're considered Lao Hei's man too. When my nephew wakes up, trouble you to take him to Lao Hei's place to buy some real medicine.”

"Haha, that's no problem. But just to be clear, I expect every penny I'm owed."

"For those who are easily tempted by money, may the gods have mercy on you."

The two people chattered away about money.

It seems like Li Nanfang is really Gu Yao's nephew, and Dikuza is really going to take Mr. Li to Lao Hei's place to buy some real things.

What else could Li Nanfang say

Thank these kind and pure locals.

This task is incredibly easy.

Upon arriving, I learned that the satellite had been taken by someone called Lao Hei.

Gu Yao also helped him find an acquaintance of Lao Hei's.

Then, should he now pat Lao Gu's shoulder, jump to the ground and say a word of thanks, and then go straight to Lao Hei and ask him to hand over the satellite obediently

Maybe not.

Only a fool would do that.

Regardless of who Lao Hei is.

The fact that he dared to pick up the satellite, knowing full well that the military would soon be here looking for it, and yet remained to face them... This speaks volumes.

Lao Hei must have something up his sleeve.

What is he relying on

Only after this matter is resolved can Li Nanshan swagger and demand payment.

Lao Gu and Di Kuza finally ended their whimsical conversation. Afterwards, Li Nanfang felt himself being placed on a bed, followed by drops of bitter water flowing along his lips into his throat.

He had drunk a lot of seawater before.

In my opinion, any freshwater that can be drunk is definitely thousands of times better than seawater.

But the water Gu Yao fed him — it's best not to speak of it.

"Cough cough cough!"

A series of coughs came from Li Nanfang's throat.

He didn't want to die here, just as soon as he arrived, before even doing anything.

This is also an opportunity to wake up and have a good chat with Lao Gu, an old friend who has helped me a lot.

As a result, the moment Li Nanshan opened his eyes, he was stunned.

If he wasn't incredibly devoted to science, he would surely think he had traveled through time.

Otherwise, how could he have opened his eyes and seen "Wang De Fa"

Okay, this person is an old-timer, not Wang Defa.

Only Lao Gu's face was full of smiles, his features contorted into a look like a blooming chrysanthemum. It was almost identical to Wang Defa.

"Who are you Where am I Where is my money"

Mr. Li, with his spirits lifted, spoke the words that those who had awoken from a coma should say first.

Then, a radiant smile spread across Lao Gu's face: "Respected guest, my name is Gu Yao. This is Su Le. I don't know about your money. But it was I who rescued you from the sandstorm."

Lao Gu spoke, raising his hand to gently twist two fingers together, making a universally recognized gesture.

Before, Li Nanfang would absolutely not have bothered with this.

Since this old geezer resembles Wang Defa so much and is the one who facilitated his mission this time, there's no reason not to give him some good treatment.

More importantly, the money on him was work funds he had extorted from Shen Qingwu.

He never had any qualms about spending other people's money.

He raised his hand and handed over a ten yuan bill. Li Nánfāng almost blurted out the habitual phrase, "Keep the change."

Luckily, the instant wilting of his expression like a withered chrysanthemum reminded him that the person in front of him was not just some taxi driver.

"Guest, is your life only worth ten copper coins"

Though Lao Gu snatched the ten yuan without hesitation, he still spoke in a rather unkind tone.

Mr. Li, deeply understanding Lao Gu's feelings, didn't stand on ceremony and pushed Lao Gu's sour face away with his hand.

"Is it Gu Yao That name really sounds like a woman's. Otherwise, you wouldn't be acting like a sissy, dragging your feet here."

"You—"

"What do I care. Let me tell you, I'm rich, but my money isn't just given away. This is the underground city of Shule County, right I came here to collect jade, but a group of soldiers stopped me halfway. If it weren't for the fact that I killed dozens of people a couple of years ago, I wouldn't be afraid of those soldiers."

Li Nanfang, while talking about his experiences with unrestrained enthusiasm, kept an eye on the surrounding environment.

I just feel that this little nest of mine is nothing to look at. This made me turn my gaze back to Lao Gu's face and say softly, "My people were all taken away by the soldiers, and I ran for tens of kilometers to get here. I just want to ask you something."

"What, what's the matter"

Lao Gu's speech was a little stammered.

It wasn't just because of Li Nanfang's fierce aura, but also because Boss Li was a skilled talker. He drew out a twenty-centimeter long curved blade from his waist and plunged it halfway into the wooden table with one swift stroke.

Lao Gu regretted it.

I regret giving this vicious beast water so quickly, waking it up.

If we hadn't woken him up and instead had stripped him of all his valuables, he wouldn't have had a chance to run like he does now.

"I just want to come here and ask, who the hell took something that doesn't belong to them, forcing those soldiers to set up checkpoints all around I'll kill him!"

Li Nanfang roared, grabbed the knife handle on the table and pulled it across.

The entire table split in half instantly.

The wooden board landed with a loud thud.

Lao Gu knelt down on the ground with an extremely cooperative thud and shouted loudly, "It's Lao Hei! Lao Hei's people went out to restock a while ago and brought back a big guy."

Gu Yao was able to live in the ancient county of Su Le for so long because of her ability to immediately admit defeat when things got tough.

He had reason to believe that the guest he had picked up, was absolutely capable of killing him as easily as slicing through a watermelon.

So, selling out Lao Hei isn't a big deal.

That was Dikuza's boss, not his old man.

Li Nanfang smiled, lightly tapping the tip of his dagger with his finger, and casually pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, slapping them on Lao Gu's face: "Tell me about Lao Hei."
