This way, she can stay warm in the cold underground. From today onwards, she's going to be more refined! She doesn't want any other part of her body to become weak...
As for the little girl and the big-breasted woman behind him, if he didn't give them the items, that angel would definitely complain, so he simply took two more and gave them to the two of them.
As a doctor and guardian angel, after they left, she took out a new white coat, buttoned it up one by one, wrapped herself up tightly, and watched the three of them leave.
After walking for a while, the three of them passed through a dimly lit tunnel, and gradually, figures appeared ahead.
The slaves along the way shrank back as if they had seen a ghost whenever they saw Han Zhuli, wishing they could disappear into the cracks in the wall.
Han Zhuli, the "barefoot bully," proudly raised her chin, but when she turned around and saw that the two "coal balls," one big and one small, behind her hadn't reacted at all, she felt a little annoyed.
She suddenly stopped, rubbed her bare feet in the coal ash, and deliberately said in a hoarse voice:
Do you know what this area is called after you go through the tunnel?
Seeing that this "Haki Spider" sister was about to "send" information again, Li Pu immediately shook his head in cooperation, trying his best to put on an innocent and ignorant expression.
To be honest, he felt like he was walking alongside this delinquent older sister the whole way.
It gives off a vibe of a villainous trio—Cockroach Bully, Scorpion Lai Lai, and Spider Detective—going out for a team-building activity.
Why did he think that way? Because this was the only organized crime group he knew; he couldn't remember the names of the other gangs...
Han Zhuli was very satisfied with his cooperation, and grinned with a roguish smile:
"Call it a time lag zone~"
After saying that, she gently kicked the coal slag on the ground with her toes—her bare feet were still eerily clean, and her pink toes were particularly eye-catching in the dim light.
"In order to shorten the construction period as much as possible, the Daqing Dynasty in Dongzhou will place a seal called 'Days Feel Like Years' in the latest construction progress area."
Li Pu: "Huh?"
The next instant, Han Zhuli suddenly leaned closer, her hot, coal-ash-smelling breath hitting his face: "An hour outside is a year here..." Her fingers lightly traced her still-smooth cheek, her eyes filled with mocking malice. "Don't even think about escaping. When you finally manage to crawl out, you'll find that only half a day has passed in the outside world, while you..."
Li Pu: "..."
She paused deliberately, savoring the other person's tense expression, before slowly uttering the second half of the sentence:
"He's already an old man with wrinkles all over his eyes, and he can barely walk."
Li Pu: "..."
The fearful expression that Han Zhuli had expected did not appear.
Instead, Li Pu was briefly stunned before recovering, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up in a smirk—
you mean……
As a lowly laborer, I now have plenty of time to leisurely "stir things up" on this underground construction site, without having to worry about Chun-Li, the White Queen, or the others waking up to find me gone!
He forced himself not to laugh out loud, quickly lowered his head and pretended to be scared, but his shoulders trembled slightly from holding back his laughter.
thank!
An own goal by the Daqing court!
Han Zhuli looked at the trembling boy with his head down, gave a satisfied hum, and turned to continue leading the way.
She was completely unaware that the "frightened" little soot sprite behind her was hiding a bright smile on its face behind its cat-ear hat...
Tifa had no idea what her little rascal was up to.
But judging from his ghostly appearance, she could roughly sense that something was about to happen.
If the child is quiet, he must be acting like a monster!
It is clear!
The little mouse fell into the rice jar!
After walking for a while...
At a fork in the road, Han Zhuli suddenly kicked open a rusty iron gate and shouted into the dimly lit workers' shed:
"Bitches, you've got a new accomplice!"
She glanced at Lip and Tifa, waving her hand impatiently: "Just don't lose these two black lumps!"
After saying that, she actually turned around and left, her bare, delicate feet pattering on the coal slag as she hummed an off-key tune and walked away into the distance.
Young Li Pu stood there with a frown, the cat ears on his straw hat swaying gently in the eerie wind of the alley.
Is this the kind of care you were talking about, sister?
Well, I guess I can't count on her after all.
Then, before they could even take in their new surroundings, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the workers' shed:
"Oh my god! Look at that little lump of coal wearing cat ears!"
"It's kind of cute that it's all dirty!"
"This delicate-skinned girl doesn't look like she's here to do manual labor..."
A large group of female slaves swarmed around Li Pu, staring at him as if they had discovered some new and interesting toy.
"Wow, he looks so handsome up close!"
Some people couldn't resist reaching out to pinch the cat ears on his hat brim, while others tried to wipe the coal dust off his face with a damp cloth.
Lip was jostled backward and almost bumped into Tifa.
Li Pu was immediately stunned.
and many more!
What's the situation?
Girls' dormitory?!
They assigned this little laborer to the girls' dormitory?!
That crazy woman, Han Zhuli!
Tifa suppressed a laugh and nudged him with her elbow, gesturing for him to look at the sign on the wall—the faded paint clearly read "Fourth Female Slave Laundry House".
Li Pu raised an eyebrow, recalling how his master Chunli had complained to him about the classic tropes of "braided dramas" she had watched before her transmigration.
The starting point for time-traveling women is usually here: the laundry department, the laundry service, or the latrine.
Its classic status is no less than "Starting with a dog, all equipment is found by scavenging".
This department was essentially a collective dormitory and work area for lower-level palace maids, created by the Qing court to save expenses.
As the counterpart of Dai Qing in this bizarre world, the Daqing Dynasty naturally perfectly replicated this system.
Even the logistics department of the underground slave project was named after this.
Thinking of this, Li Pu looked down at the coal dust covering his body, then glanced at the female slaves around him, and then at the girls' dormitory behind them.
The cat-ear straw hat drooped limply, numb...
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen what a girls' dormitory looked like.
Most teenage boys have secretly fantasized about what girls' dormitories look like.
The beautiful bodies of young girls, the fragrant blankets, the wardrobe full of dresses, the faint scent of shampoo in the air...
However, at this moment, Li Pu's youthful fantasies are collapsing at a speed of 800 meters per second—the body fragrance of the goddesses in the 3D zone is ultimately a rare limited edition.
The pervasive smell of feminine hygiene products mixed with pickled cabbage and feet is truly overly "stylish".
Forget about getting any visual pleasure from them.
Looking around, there were female slaves of all races, but most of them were not good-looking.
The women from Daqing almost all had bound feet, and they walked with a trembling gait.
Forget about being pleasing to the eye; just watching them limp along made Li Pu's toes ache.
Just then, a piercing gong sounded from behind.
A burly old woman with a fierce face shouted in a shrill voice, "Time to work! Time to work! Hurry up, all of you!"
The female slaves panicked immediately, their bound feet shuffling unsteadily across the damp ground.
The old woman lashed the ground with a rattan cane, splashing dirty water everywhere.
"There's been a monster in the mine lately! Be careful, or no one can save you if you get captured!"
Li Pu raised an eyebrow. A monster?
Isn't that the mysterious "otherworldly witch" mentioned in the intelligence report?
The old woman suddenly pointed at them with a rattan cane: "You two new black lumps! Go wash your mine work clothes today!" She added ominously, "That's the closest mine to where monsters roam... good luck to you."
Newcomers with no background or connections are best suited to be scapegoats and front-line soldiers. Even those who get in through connections are just female slaves. How strong can their background be?
Especially since this young woman has a child, she's a big problem and it's best to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Although the female slaves pitied the two, they were also relieved. The woman who had just been instructed by Han Zhuli was about to speak when Li Pu interrupted her!
"Okay, Grandma, let's go!"
Beneath the cat-ear straw hat, the boy's eyes shone with an astonishing light—
If we pretend to have been kidnapped by a monster, wouldn't we be able to conduct any kind of large-scale investigation we want?!
Chapter 190 Oh, such a thing really happened? (Today one, tomorrow three kisses~)
After the old woman left, the female slaves spontaneously organized themselves to choose someone to take Li Pu and his companion to the haunted construction site tunnel.
"The new siblings are really unlucky..."
"It's because they were wearing white coats and loitering outside the workers' shed that the old lady spotted them immediately."
"He clearly knows that she-devil, but he just won't mention it..."
The female slave who spoke was immediately grabbed by the sleeve by her companion: "Shh! If the nanny finds out, she'll definitely replace you! Do you want to be fed to the monster?"
On the other side, several older female slaves looked at Li Pu's childlike profile under his cat-eared straw hat and couldn't help but sigh:
"Such a young child, it's such a tragedy..."
"Yeah, look at him, still grinning like an idiot. He's probably a dim-witted little fool."
At this moment, the "poor little fool" they were talking about was laughing as if no one else was around—he had no choice but to be "kidnapped" by the female monster now.
A hero cannot desert his post!
Tifa, on the other hand, seemed much more normal—she was genuinely afraid of ghosts!
Jerusalem's face was pale, her fingers were twisting the hem of her clothes tightly, but she was trying to put on a brave face.
The composure she had just displayed while joking with that sly girl was nowhere to be seen. Now she looked like a rabbit thrown into a pack of wolves, holding her breath.
Meanwhile, the whispers among the female slaves around them about "ghosts" grew louder and louder—one said she had seen a long-tongued female ghost floating on top of a mine cart, another said she had heard a baby crying coming from a crevice in the rocks...
She subconsciously shrank closer to Li Pu, her soft body almost completely pressed against his back, forgetting the slight unease she felt after the physical examination.
Sometimes, though, I feel quite safe around this annoying little rascal. I'll forgive him for a while...
The boy keenly sensed the close embrace of her ample breasts and buttocks behind him, and playfully raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
It's clear that Jerusalem is truly afraid this time.
But the next second, Li Pu was at a loss for words—
This spineless woman is afraid of ghosts, which is one thing, but she's also incompetent and loves to play around, and her ears are uncontrollably eavesdropping on every detail.
The more I listened, the more frightened I became, and the more frightened I became, the more I wanted to listen. I was caught in a vicious cycle of "covering my ears but not being able to resist peeking through my fingers."
When she heard the tense part, even her delicate toes curled up, like a bunch of pink grapes falling to the ground, trembling slightly.
Li Pu couldn't help but think to himself: This woman is so fierce when she's fighting, but so cowardly when she's listening to ghost stories...
He looked down with a mixture of helplessness and amusement, glancing at the slender, white hand that was gripping his shoulder tightly—the fingertips were slightly white from the force, and pale blue veins were visible beneath the delicate skin; the warm palm was slightly sweaty.
If it weren't for the extra three health bars from the blood-burning system, Tifa would probably have crushed my shoulder long ago...
The wait was over quickly, and the female slaves had already chosen someone to take them to work, an older female slave from the Eastern Continent.
Li Pu's eyes lit up, and he immediately got to work!
Mao's stuff isn't proactive! He has a problem with his thinking!
