Chapter 19 The Bridge
Hyper, hyper, hyper...
Xu Shu pushed the accelerator as hard as he could. He was only wearing a pair of underwear, and his teeth were chattering with the cold.
Half an hour later, despite countless surprised looks from the market, he rushed onto Tongle Road and jumped into the door of the repair shop.
After getting out of the car, he quickly got into the utility room, looking for clothes to cover himself, but all he could find were a few torn sacks.
The weather was wet and cold, and he was so cold that he quickly lit the pot on the ground.
Only when the fierce flames ignited did his body feel warm, he sneezed several times, and his stomach growled with hunger. After a hard day, he didn't even scratch his teeth.
He rummaged through it and found half a bag of rice, a bag of chili noodles, a bottle of lard, half a bag of salt, and two handfuls of green onions.
"Old Duan can't pick anyone anymore."
Xu Shu complained while washing and simmering rice.
He was so hungry that he poured half the bag of rice into the pot to stew.
Freshly cooked rice, paired with freshly fried chili peppers, mixed with a spoonful of lard, half a spoonful of salt, and half a handful of chopped green onions, instantly becomes a supremely delicious dish.
Xu Shu was sweating after eating, and Duan Kuohai's voice came from outside, "Look, there is smoke. I say you should just worry about it. This kid is better than a monkey if he sticks to his hair. He can hide quickly."
.It smells so good, not good, my rice..."
Before the exclamation could end, Duan Kuohai rushed through the door.
Looking at the empty rice bag floating aside, Duan Kuohai almost beat his chest.
When she saw Xu Shu, who was only wearing underwear, Qin Bingyu's face turned red, and she threw away a bag of clothes, "Hurry and dry it, put it on, what will it look like?"
Xu Yi took a closer look and saw that it was the clothes he had taken off in the bathroom of Cao's house.
There were several black holes burned into the pants and sweater, but fortunately the windbreaker was intact.
Xu Shu set up a bonfire and put on wet clothes to dry.
"Can we catch that witch?"
"Catch the ghost. They are well organized and have backup plans."
Duan Kuohai said angrily, "We still have a turtle bastard holding us back."
Xu Shu then discovered that Duan Kuohai had two palm prints on his chest and his clothes were torn, "You fought against Gu Chun? And you suffered a big loss?"
"fart!"
Duan Kuohai said proudly, "I beat him until he vomited blood."
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and filled it with a bowl of rice. He followed Xu Shu's example and mixed it with lard, salt and spicy pepper, stirred it a few times, and ate it.
Xu Shu also picked up a bowl, mixed the ingredients, and handed it to Qin Bing.
"Xiao Qin doesn't eat meat or fat."
"Just right, I'm not enough."
Xu Shu took the bowl back, but Qin Bing snatched it away. She was also very hungry.
Qin Bing habitually picked a small chopstick of rice and put it in her mouth. The strange aroma of lard, chili and shallots instantly filled her mouth with saliva.
She had never thought that rice could be so fragrant and delicious. She took one bite after another and worked hard to cook.
For a while, the three of them were busy cooking.
Xu Shu looked into the pot, mixed it half full, and put down the bowl.
He got up to boil water and then made tea. Qin Bing put down the bowl. When she thought that she had even added rice, she quietly touched her increasingly plump waist and hips, regretting it endlessly.
“Comfortable!”
After finishing the last spoonful of rice in the pot, Duan Kuohai shouted.
"Duan Duan, if you are willing to prepare more ingredients, the taste should be better."
Xu Shu shook off his eighty-nine dry pants and pulled them on.
Duan Kuohai waved his hand, "You must be a little more virtuous. This meal ate all my rations for a week."
Xu Shu was speechless for a while, Duan Kuohai took the can and made tea, "I haven't said how you escaped yet."
Xu Shu told the truth.
"Path of the Fire Thief!"
Duan Kuohai said, "It seems that the Fire Worshipers have reached the second level. Otherwise, they would not be able to start fire remotely."
"What are the abilities of the Fire Thief Path?"
Xu Shu asked.
Duan Kuohai said, "The first-level fire thieves have an amazing sense of temperature and have the ability to continuously heat objects. As long as there is enough time, they can even light a cigarette."
Xu Shu said, "No wonder I was hiding under the bed and was discovered by Yan Zi. It turns out that she can search for the heat source of the human body. She must have known where I was hiding when the fighting started. Apart from this, what else does she have?"
Duan Kuohai said, "The fire worshipers in the second stage have the ability to ignite fires and stimulate flames remotely. In addition, within a certain distance, they can also heat the human body to create the illusion of fever.
Continuously exerting power can accelerate the body's blood flow and expand the cardiovascular system."
Xu Shu's eyes lit up, "I said that Colonel Cao Guang was so precious about his life and took his medicine on time. Moreover, the temperature was right at this time of year and it was not a high incidence period for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. How could he have a sudden myocardial infarction?"
Obviously, it was Yan Zi who used extraordinary power to remotely cause his body temperature to become disordered and cause him to fall ill."
Qin Bing said, "The blood color on the wall should be some kind of special pigment. It usually doesn't show blood color. Yan Zi quietly heated it, causing the pigment to change its properties, and the wall bleeds."
Xu Shu put on his windbreaker and asked, "What is the password on the wall for?"
Qin Bing took a sip of tea and said, "I asked Deputy Chief Zeng. That is a string of access codes for secret materials in the city library's reference room."
"What information does Cao Guang keep?"
"Full design drawing of Xianshan Bridge."
"Xianshan Bridge!"
Xu Shu was shocked.
Xianshan Bridge is the largest cross-sea bridge in the Zhou Dynasty.
It can be said that Chunshen can become the top economic city in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the significance of this Xianshan Bridge cannot be overstated.
In order to build this bridge, Chunshen people gritted their teeth and paid the head tax for three years.
"They're going to blow up the bridge!"
Xu Shu said in a deep voice.
"Blow up the bridge!"
Duan Kuohai stood up in shock.
Qin Bing's cherry mouth stretched into an "O" shape, "What evidence do you have? The bridge is right there. If you want to blow up the bridge, why don't you just bury the explosives? Why look for the blueprint?"
Xu Shu said, "A bridge like the Xianshan Bridge has no design drawings and cannot find key structural points. If explosives are randomly filled in, it can only be damaged by explosion, but cannot collapse."
Duan Kuohai was speechless, and then laughed, "Haha, I have to report such important news to the station immediately.
I thought I would find nothing, but I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected surprise.”
Duan Kuohai jumped out and soon heard the high-pitched sound of the three wheels.
Xu Shu chased him out, but Duan Kuohai was nowhere to be found.
He muttered a few words and turned back to the repair shop. Qin Bing had already climbed onto the bicycle.
Xu Shu quickly got up and held on to the handlebars.
"Is there anything else?"
Qin Bing raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"Of course there is something going on. I had a big fuss with Yan Zi today. If they hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to get at me, I will be in great danger."
Xu Shu felt that his two superiors paid little attention to his personal safety.
"What day is not dangerous in this line of work?"
Qin Bing rolled her eyes at him, kicked off her long and plump legs, and drove the bike away, "Remember to go to school tomorrow, fill in your application form, and prepare to take the graduation exam."
Although Xu Shu took the preliminary exam, Qin Bing didn't think he could accomplish anything and his final destination would be the graduation exam.
…………
The next afternoon, Jingcai High School basketball court.
Cao Daming made a flying dive, stepped on his feet, and knocked over a tall and thin student who was attacking with the ball.
The tall and lanky man just complained. Cao Daming slapped him in the face. The tall and lanky man covered his face before trying to argue. Seven or eight young people gathered around him.
The tall and thin man left with regret, and a hot girl with short hair enthusiastically handed Cao Daming a kettle. Cao Daming took it, hugged her, and kissed her.
The short-haired girl giggled and whistled.
"Brother Cao, don't you miss Teacher Qin anymore?"
When a short and fat young man opened his mouth, Cao Daming kicked him in the stomach, knocking him over.
Cao Daming caught up and wanted to fight again, but was hugged tightly by everyone.
"Brother Cao, calm down and calm down. Xu Shu will definitely come this afternoon, unless he doesn't want to get his diploma."
The one who spoke, Xie Long, was closest to Cao Daming and knew his thoughts best.
If we say that in the past, Cao Daming and Xu Shu just disliked each other.
Now, Cao Daming regards Xu Shu as his mortal enemy.
Mrs. Xie Long knew how passionate Cao Daming was about Qin Bing. That day, when she saw Xu Shu driving Qin Bing away with her own eyes, Cao Daming almost ran out of breath and vomited blood.
Although news later spread on campus that Qin Bing and Xu Shu were cousins, Cao Daming didn't believe it at all. Instead, he became increasingly convinced that something was going on between Qin Bing and Xu Shu, and that he had been cheated on.
Cao Daming gritted his teeth, "Well done, I have to let the dog's regrets come out."
"Brother Cao, no."
"There's nothing wrong with stepping on a horse. I'm about to graduate anyway, so why should I be afraid of stepping on a horse?"
"Brother Cao misunderstood. What I meant was that since you want to vent your anger, wouldn't it be too easy to beat him up?"
Cao Daming smiled ferociously, "This time I will make him feel extremely happy, both mentally and physically."
"Brother Cao has a solution?"
Cao Daming smiled mysteriously, "You just wait and see the show, but your cooperation is indispensable..."
After Cao Daming muttered, everyone's expressions changed.
"What, are you scared? If you are scared, you can quit. I will never force you."
"Afraid of me!"
"Done!"
"Follow Brother Cao, and you'll have everything you need to eat, drink, and eat."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and one person rushed over to bring the news of Xu Shu's arrival at school.
