Chapter 326 Hexagram 8
Because he knew he was about to embark on an adventure full of challenges and excitement.
Going out to hunt for treasure is not a spontaneous trip; it involves countless unknowns and risks.
Therefore, they must be adequately prepared to ensure that they can deal with various emergencies.
In the past two days, Li Youquan has been busy with various preparations.
He knew that time was running out, so he sped up as much as possible, hoping to find the treasure before the enemy spies on the island.
His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness, but he also understood that only with adequate preparation could he be invincible in this treasure hunt.
When a busy day is over, Li Youquan returns to the courtyard where he lives.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard the voice of Aunt Sun next door.
Aunt Sun was sitting at the door, chatting about family matters with several other women.
"Hey, have you heard? That Qin Huairu seems to have hooked up with the people from the steel mill."
Aunt Sun lowered her voice and spoke with a gossipy look on her face.
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement, as if she had mastered some incredible secret.
"Really? I saw a man bringing her back a few days ago."
Another aunt took over the conversation with a hint of surprise in her tone.
"Yeah, yeah, I saw that too."
The other aunts echoed this, their tone full of gossip, but also with a hint of contempt.
Originally, Qin Huairu was raising her child alone, and her husband and mother-in-law had both died, so everyone was quite sympathetic towards her.
It’s a pity that what she did was so unkind that everyone looked down on her.
"I have inquired about it. That guy's parents are all gone and his wife ran away. What good future can a man like him have? No wonder he hooked up with Qin Huairu."
Seeing that everyone was interested in this topic, Aunt Sun immediately perked up.
She spoke with excitement, as if she had found some solid evidence.
However, she did not notice that Li Youquan was standing outside the door, preparing to enter the courtyard.
He heard their conversation, but did not immediately step forward to interrupt.
He stopped and listened to their gossip quietly.
"Don't I live next door to her? I saw that guy a few days ago, carrying a lot of things. Do you think they are already in love?"
One of the aunts lowered her voice again, but she couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
"Who knows? We don't know what they do behind closed doors."
Another aunt answered, and as soon as she finished speaking, the others immediately burst into laughter.
However, the meaning contained in this smile was extremely complex, including satisfaction with gossip and speculation about the unknown.
Li Youquan stood at the door, feeling mixed emotions.
He didn't expect that so many things would happen just because he hadn't paid attention to Qin Huairu's situation for a while.
He took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard.
He knew that he still had a lot to face.
Besides, no matter what happened to Qin Huairu, it had nothing to do with him.
Just when those people were still immersed in the gossip topic and wanted to continue the discussion in depth, they suddenly noticed Li Youquan standing quietly not far away.
His appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility around him.
The moment Aunt Sun saw him, her smiling face turned pale instantly.
There was a flash of panic in her eyes, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
She quickly put away her smile, made an excuse that she had something to do at home, and hurriedly left this lively occasion without even daring to look back.
Seeing this, the others also realized the subtle change in the atmosphere.
Although they didn't know about the grudge between Aunt Sun and Li Youquan, they all felt a little embarrassed. They gave Li Youquan an apologetic smile, then picked up their benches and chose to leave tacitly.
Faced with such a scene, Li Youquan did not show too much emotion.
He had long been accustomed to such gossip, and he did not have too many feelings about what Qin Huairu did.
He just walked into the house calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
As for Qin Huairu, Li Youquan didn't care what she wanted to do.
His current goal is to investigate the affairs of several other groups of enemy spies, and there is not much intersection between them and Qin Huairu's grievances.
However, the next day, when his investigation pointed to the steel mill, he decided to take people to the scene.
As Li Youquan and his group stepped into the gate of the steel rolling mill, they noticed that Qin Huairu was talking to a man in a corner not far away.
He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but he soon calmed down.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Qin Huairu, so he chose to turn a blind eye and continue his investigation.
He found the factory director and asked in detail about some matters concerning the steel rolling mill.
After understanding the general situation, some questions in his mind were gradually answered.
When he was about to leave with his men, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the workshop.
He thought that there was nothing else important to deal with for the time being, so he decided to go over and see what was going on.
It turned out that Qin Huairu had just finished chatting with Zhang Jianguo and then hurried to the workshop.
Although her steps were hurried, each step seemed firm and powerful.
However, just as she was about to step into the workshop door, a figure suddenly blocked her way.
"Hey, where is Comrade Qin going during working hours?"
The person who blocked Qin Huairu's way was none other than the gangster in the workshop.
He stared at Qin Huairu's plump figure, and ripples appeared in his heart.
He muttered to himself, he never expected that short-lived Jia Dongxu could marry such a beautiful wife, he wondered what kind of blessings he had accumulated in his previous life.
Qin Huairu has been swaying in front of him these days. Her enchanting figure and fair skin have made him infatuated.
Qin Huairu looked at the idiot in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
She glanced at Erlangzi and said coldly.
"What's it got to do with you?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
However, Erlangzi was not willing to let her go easily.
As soon as he saw someone was about to leave, he immediately reached out to stop Qin Huairu and said with concern.
"Hey, I'm just concerned about the new comrades in the workshop."
Then, he lowered his voice and spoke to Qin Huairu mysteriously.
"Comrade Qin, let me tell you, your master Yi Zhonghai is deliberately making trouble for you. The things he taught you are all knowledge for an eighth-level worker."
