Chapter 489: Fame and fortune
Li Xiangling sneered and turned off the light when she met Yun Xiangxiang’s teasing gaze. “Don’t think too much. I have no feelings for him.”
Yun Xiangxiang pondered in the dark and shrugged. She did not say anything else and closed his eyes to sleep.
The next day, they left the place and headed to the next station. The medical team that Song Mian had hired still had a few days of volunteer service.
Sure enough, just as Yun Xiangxiang had expected, before they reached the destination, their cell phone’s signal was displayed as “G” . They could still make the call, but they could not dream of surfing the Internet.
The car still could not get in. The road was too narrow, and only the specially made small tricycles could get in.
The road was bumpy, and many people did not throw up in the car. They were thrown up by the bumpy road.
Several times, they were so shaken that their faces turned pale. They thought that they would be thrown out in the next second.
Some people even expressed that they would rather leave than take the bus. But when they heard that it was more than ten kilometers away, they could only endure it.
There was really no signal at all when they reached the place. The environment was similar to before.
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to know that the organizers had actually chosen a relatively decent village and not the worst kind.
Qi Juan immediately got busy. Using the excuse of asking for help, he openly called Yun Xiangxiang and Li Xiangling away.
He found a place to set up the signal, but with the strength of several people in charge, Yun Xiangxiang and Li Xiangling were just there to watch the show.
The equipment looked like a street lamp. It was a tall pole with an oval-shaped monitor hanging down. Qi Juan was very good at fixing it.
“You’ve done this kind of work a lot, haven’t you?” Yun Xiangxiang looked at his unusually skilled movements and thought of his long-term wilderness adventure.
“It’s my specialty,” Qi Juan answered as he busied himself. “I’ve chosen the best equipment. I’ll set it up in a while. I’m sure you’ll be comfortable with it.”
“This equipment needs electricity, right?” Yun Xiangxiang looked around. Although there was electricity in the village, Qi Juan had chosen a place so far away and there was no electrical connection.
“The places I went to had no electricity at all. This thing uses solar energy and wind energy to generate electricity.” Qi Juan was very precious to his equipment.
If it weren’t for Song Mian, he wouldn’t have brought it out. “The Sun takes the sun, but not the wind. Don’t worry, it won’t fall apart.”
“The sky is gray. Will it rain at night?” Li Xiangling looked up at the sky, a little worried. “There doesn’t seem to be a lightning rod nearby….”
“See that?” Qi Juan pointed at something on the ground that looked like an open book. “That’s the best lightning protection module. I’ll press it on later.”
This lightning protection module could prevent static electricity, surging waves, communication lightning, and so on. As long as it was not struck by lightning, it would be foolproof.
If it was really struck by lightning, then he could only admit that he was unlucky…
Qi Juan boasted about his treasure so much that Yun Xiangxiang and Li Xiangling remained skeptical. However, when he finished building it, Yun Xiangxiang about picking up his phone and really felt that the signal was not too good!
When the other people who were originally dispirited saw the signal, they were instantly revived as if they had been injected with stimulants.
“Sure enough, no matter how terrible the environment is, it can’t compare to the terror of being disconnected from the Internet.” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but sigh.
“Of course, I can endure this kind of environment for a month. I can’t endure a day without the Internet!” Li Xiangling was an internet addict. Without the Internet, she would go crazy.
When Li Xiangling was called away by her classmates from the same school, Yun Xiangxiang said to Qi Juan. “You suddenly became big in her heart. Hurry up and thank Mian and me.”
“Why should I thank you two?” Qi Juan didn’t understand.
“If Mian didn’t ask you to build a signal for me, would you be able to win the heart of a beauty?” Yun Xiangxiang asked.
Qi Juan: ” ….”
So he had to be grateful to do the hard work?
However, Qi Juan did not expect Li Xiangling to be an internet addict who looked so cold and aloof.
He instantly felt that Li Xiangling was so cute, as if she loved her a little more?
To be able to work for the beauty and make her smile, Qi Juan felt that his equipment was too valuable!
Yun Xiangxiang glanced at Qi Juan, who was smiling like an idiot. He silently turned around and left.
With the signal, and a better signal than the last station, everyone did not care about food, drinks, and accommodation…
They spent the night in peace compared to the first night of the last station. They continued to work the next day. In fact, there were more elderly people left in the village.
They greeted the elderly people in groups of three or five. Some of the more talkative ones were able to chat with the elderly people. Yun Xiangxiang was not good at chatting with the elderly people, but she was more patient, so she listened carefully.
During this time, Yun Xiangxiang had found a very interesting artist called Yan Zhenben.
He was only 20 years old this year. It was said that he had not studied since he graduated from high school. This time, he also came, but he was very serious in doing things.
Besides, he had red lips and white teeth, and his facial features were soft. He looked very gentle like jade. However, his thick black eyebrows added to his heroic spirit, which was different from the fresh meat of the times.
Yun Xiangxiang recalled that the reason why he remembered him was because there was a person who came to collect quilts and flour. His home was very remote, and there was a very rugged road. Even the people of the village were not willing to help.
It was said that that person was not a good person and was not very sociable. He was probably not popular. At that time, Yun Xiangxiang recalled that he was in trouble and was planning to enslave Qi Juan. Yan Zhenben took the initiative to help.
At that moment, Yun Xiangxiang recalled that he passed by a dilapidated courtyard and saw Yan Zhenben sweeping the courtyard with a broom and a dustpan.
It was not an act, but he was really diligent. He gently scattered the ashes on the chicken manure and then swept it away neatly.
Then, he was instructed by the old man where to put the chicken feces. He was very patient throughout the whole process…
To be honest, most of the old men here spoke in a dialect. Even Yun Xiangxiang’s head hurt just thinking about it, but Yan Zhenben could smile as warmly as the sun…
“Can you understand what they’re saying?” It just so happened that Yan Zhenben walked out after he was done. Yun Xiangxiang did not leave.
“I miss my sister.” Yan Zhenben was humble and polite. “I don’t understand, but it’s good that I understand.”
“You can still smile so brightly if you don’t understand?” Li Xiangling thought about it beside Yun Xiangxiang. She looked at Yan Zhenben’s appearance and felt that he seemed to understand.
“A kind smile can always be likable, right?” Yan Zhenben answered with a little helplessness in his tone.
Yun Xiangxiang it through. In a situation like Yan Zhenben’s, he was probably already used to people smiling at him.
“Why did you come here?” Yun Xiangxiang suddenly wanted to ask this question.
Yan Zhenben did not answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for a while before saying. “For fame, for profit, to stand out.”
“Very honest.” Yun Xiangxiang praised. “You’re also very serious.”
Yan Zhenben smiled and was about to say something when he looked behind him. Yun Xiangxiang Li Xiangling turned around and saw someone rushing over with an unconscious man on his back.
Qi Juan followed them. When they arrived, Yun Xiangxiang asked. “What happened?”
“Pang Yan was knocked unconscious by the roadside.” Qi Juan’s face was cold.
