51. Quarry
The quarry in Chenjia Village is located at the foot of a barren hill at the west end of the village.
The original lush trees on the mountain were cut down, leaving only a barren slope.
Coupled with the later construction of houses in the surrounding villages, the price of stone rose, so some outsiders contracted this land and opened a small quarry.
It is about three miles away from Chenjia Village, and the road is overgrown with weeds and the terrain is uneven.
Everyone walked with sweat on their foreheads, which was quite strenuous.
And Chen Youcai often went to work in the fields, and his body looked thin, but he was actually very strong.
Along the way, it was the easiest way to go.
Standing in front of the quarry, I saw a cliff with a granite layer exposed, and half of the entire hill was quarried.
On the large open space under the hillside, there are thick gravel scattered on the ground.
A few trolleys were discarded at random and placed in the open air for a long time, and they were already rusted and mottled after being exposed to wind and rain.
"Leader, the quarry machine is placed in there."
In fact, it was the first time for the monkey to come to the quarry. Looking at a small iron house built next to the site, he immediately pointed to the other end and smiled.
"Okay, okay, take a look and leave quickly, the weather is so hot and stuffy, it's really annoying."
Wang Zhuzi wiped off his hot sweat and complained impatiently, already somewhat regretting agreeing to come here.
Song Yiyi's mouth was also parched, her pretty face was sweaty, but she didn't say anything, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
"It's very important. After watching the machine, I will invite the leaders to Zhangjia Town for dinner, and reward them well."
Monkey nodded with a smile on his face, and winked at Donggua.
The latter understood immediately, found a stone, walked to the iron house, aimed at the lock and knocked it down.
"I came here in a hurry this time, and I forgot to bring the key."
Facing the suspicious eyes of the three people, Monkey explained casually, and then politely invited everyone to enter the iron house to cool off.
Chen Youcai had been walking at the end of the crowd. The more he looked at the moment, the more he felt that something was wrong, and his steps subconsciously slowed down a bit.
"Self-rescue task: Get rid of the attack of monkeys and winter melons, do you want to spend 3 points of merit to exchange for corresponding props?"
At this moment, a red light suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and lines of familiar small cinnabar characters suddenly appeared.
Chen Youcai's footsteps froze, he stopped in horror, and even his pupils shrank severely.
The self-rescue mission, now the self-rescue mission was accidentally triggered!
Monkeys, wax gourds... and the dazzling word "strike and kill".
A sense of crisis swept through every cell in his body like a cold wave, making Chen Youcai's heart feel like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body trembled violently!
"Get out! Don't go in!!"
Chen Youcai suddenly raised his head and shouted.
In the quarry, there was a sudden silence, and everyone looked sideways.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
The monkey's face changed slightly, and then he returned to smiling, and asked Chen Youcai cheerfully.
Wang Zhuzi and Song Yiyi had already reached the door of the iron house at this moment, they were both stunned, quite puzzled why Chen Youcai suddenly made a sound.
"You two, are you called 'Monkey' and 'Winter Melon'?"
Chen Youcai's muscles tensed up, he took a step back, and stared closely at the every move of the tall and thin man in front of him, as if he was facing an enemy.
"..."
Suddenly being recognized by others, the monkey's cheeks twitched a few times, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes became gloomy little by little.
The winter melon standing at the door of the iron house was quite confused and scratched his scalp: "Do you know us?"
It's these two guys, it really is these two guys!
After being confirmed, Chen Youcai's heart was beating wildly, fine beads of sweat oozed from his spine, and drenched the back of his clothes.
"exchange!"
Without any hesitation, he let out a low growl with all his strength, then squatted down, and firmly grasped the virtuous props that had slipped from the corner of his clothes out of thin air.
"Shut those two in first!"
The monkey's expression finally changed, he quickly turned his head and yelled at the winter melon at the door of the iron house, and then rushed towards Chen Youcai immediately.
Damn it, damn it!
This country boy actually recognized the two brothers!
But how did he do it?
Doubtful thoughts flashed through his mind, the monkey no longer had the time to think about it, and just wanted to deal with Chen Youcai immediately.
"Let me in!"
Although Donggua's brain is not working well, she now realizes that something is wrong.
Without saying a word, he kicked Wang Zhuzi's ass, and kicked him into the iron house.
Poor Wang Zhuzi's buttocks were not healed, and now he was kicked so hard again.
Immediately, the pain made tears flow, and he let out a scream like a pig.
"..."
Song Yiyi, who was the first to enter the iron house, also reacted and realized the other party's malicious intentions.
She pursed her red lips tightly, and was about to walk quickly towards the door, but after hearing a bang, the light in front of her eyes dimmed and suddenly went dark.
The wooden door of the iron house was closed vigorously by the wax gourd, and then the iron buckle was fastened tightly with a lock.
There were scolding and chasing sounds outside the door, Song Yiyi's pretty face turned pale, her expression uncertain.
Something went wrong, it definitely did!
After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to calm down, then took a few steps forward, and helped Wang Zhuzi up from the ground with her arms tightly around her buttocks.
"That bastard dared to kick me! I want his quarry to never continue!"
Obviously, Wang Zhuzi hadn't figured out the situation right now, so he put his arms around the painful spot, cursing loudly.
"No signal……"
Song Yiyi let go of Wang Zhuzi's arm, took out her mobile phone and wanted to report the crime.
On the top of the phone screen, the signal bar was blank... Song Yiyi bit her red lips tightly, her heart sank suddenly.
She started to panic a little.
Now being locked up in this iron house in the wilderness, all kinds of horrific and tragic scenes come to mind from time to time.
She turned her head and looked outside the door, only secretly praying that Chen Youcai could escape and bring someone to rescue her and Wang Zhuzi.
"Boy, you can't run away. I used to be in the track and field team!"
At the same time, in the barren mountains near the quarry, monkeys and winter melons are constantly chasing Chen Youcai.
The two wanted to surround him one after the other, but unfortunately Chen Youcai was more familiar with the terrain than them, so he chose to flee on steep mountain roads.
Even though the two of them worked hard for a long time, they still couldn't catch Chen Youcai.
The monkey turned pale with anger, cursed, picked up stones and threw them at Chen Youcai's back from time to time.
Chen Youcai didn't say a word, just ran all over the hillside, feeling extremely anxious, after all, Song Yiyi was still locked in the iron house by the other party.
He really wanted to run to Chenjiacun and call for help.
But that guy named Donggua kept blocking him, never giving Chen Youcai a chance.
It lasted like this for more than ten minutes, and the three of them rushed back and forth to the edge of Qingmu Slope.
Chen Youcai stopped abruptly, and the monkeys and wax gourds on the left and right also stopped.
There is no road ahead.
Standing on this lonely cliff, with a straight cliff next to it, Chen Youcai panted slightly, and took out his mobile phone.
The signal grid was blank... His cheeks twitched, he stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket, and brought the item that he had just spent 3 points of merit in front of his eyes.
It was actually a small white porcelain bottle, shaking slightly, there seemed to be grainy things in the bottle.
"Daliwan..."
Staring at the three bright red characters on the bottle, the corners of Chen Youcai's mouth twitched, his whole body fluttered in gusts of wind.
However, according to past experience, the name of the merit item is quite strange, but the effect is quite reliable.
Pull out the cork, just when the monkey and the winter melon approached with grinning grimaces.
Chen Youcai poured a dark pill in the bottle into the palm of his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth!
