Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 116 Space Training

A few days later, Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard with her two children.

Xu Damao's mother also moved into the courtyard.

Lou Xiao'e still brought the two little ones to Li Ping'an's house every day as before. Now Li Ping'an's house was lively. Three women were looking after four children. One was crying and the other was making a fuss, making Li Ping'an almost unable to stay at home.

The workers in the factory have been making noise every day during this period. No one can even get enough to eat, let alone increase production.

Because of this, Director Yang and his colleagues were also very troubled.

That day, Director Yang and Li Huaide called Li Pingan to their office.

Director Yang said directly: "Ping An, do you have any way to get supplies? It's almost New Year's Day, so you have to let the workers have a good meal before the New Year, right?"

Li Pingan also knew that the workers in the steel mill were very passive and lazy. He thought about it and said, "Why don't I go into the mountains to take a look?"

Li Huaide also said: "Okay, you can go with confidence this time, as long as you can get supplies for the factory."

"Okay then, I'll go further this time to see if I can get more. The outer part of the mountain has already been cleared out. We can only go deeper."

Director Yang said, "Okay, go ahead. I'll grant you leave starting tomorrow until you come back."

After they had agreed on the matter, Li Ping'an said goodbye.

I went back to the office, packed my things, went to the transportation team, asked for a better truck, and drove away.

He went back home first and said hello to Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e. He might be away for several days this time.

After hearing this, Yu Li quickly prepared something for him.

Li Pingan said: "You don't need to prepare too much, just a change of clothes will be enough. We are going to a place deep in the mountains, so we won't starve along the way."

Yu Li was still worried and said, "That won't work either. Bring some dry food with you so you can eat something if you get hungry. It's not clean outside."

"You also need to bring some medicine with you, in case you get hurt by accident."

Li Ping'an had no choice but to let Yu Li make the arrangements. He hugged the two children and went to see Lou Xiao'e's two little ones.

Now these two guys are two or three months old. They are white and plump. They are very cute.

Soon, Yu Li had packed up two large bags.

Li Pingan took it reluctantly and put it in the car.

After bidding farewell to Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe who were reluctant to leave, Li Pingan drove towards the mountains.

I didn't see many people along the way.

Nowadays, everyone is hungry and few people go out for activities.

It was not until the afternoon that Li Ping'an finally found an uninhabited area at the foot of a mountain.

He put the car into the space, then quickly went up the mountain.

Just like that, I kept moving up and soon reached the top of the mountain.

Looking at the rolling mountains inside, Li Pingan didn't plan to go in.

There are no good things in the mountains now, so let’s just go directly into the space.

With a thought in his mind, he disappeared right on the spot.

Entered the space and took a good bath in it.

Li Pingan began to practice.

I have been neglecting my cultivation for the past two years. The eighth meridian that was almost opened has always been just a little short of being opened. This time, I will open it in one go.

As the spiritual energy in the body circulates, it impacts the eighth meridian bit by bit.

Now he had no idea of ​​the time, and he didn't know whether it was one or two days or four or five days. He just kept running the spiritual power in his body.

Finally, Li Pingan felt a "bang". The eighth meridian was opened.

So he quickly circulated his spiritual power again, and this time the spiritual power flowed particularly smoothly.

After running it several times, Li Ping'an finally stopped.

Now eight meridians have been opened, and four more meridians need to be opened before the foundation can be laid.

Thinking about it, each of the following steps is more difficult and time-consuming than the previous one. Li Pingan is also a little helpless.

He stood up and stretched his body, feeling refreshed.

After leaving the training room, he asked Liu Mi to prepare some food for him. It felt like he hadn't eaten for several days.

The time in the space is ten times longer than outside. Now more than two months have passed inside, and six or seven days have passed outside, right? It's almost time to pack up and go back.

After eating, he went to check on the spiritual liquid first.

There isn't much spiritual fluid left now, and there isn't much left from before.

Ever since Lou Xiao'e gave birth, he would add spiritual fluid to the four children to replenish their bodies almost every day. Now the spiritual fluid was used up too quickly, and there was not enough to supply even a drop a day in the space.

After leaving the yard, I looked at the peach tree again. It hadn't changed at all. It was still full of green leaves.

Looking at the red fruit tree on the other side, there was a green red fruit hanging on the top, and it seemed that it would take a long time for it to mature.

Li Ping'an looked around again. With the care of Liu Mi and Lu Dehua, the space was always prosperous.

Everything was normal in the space, so Li Pingan left the space.

He went back outside and looked at the sky. It was just the time of the morning when the sun came out.

So he started to rush down the mountain again.

When they reached a deserted spot at the foot of the mountain, Li Pingan took out the truck and drove back.

Not long after we got on the road, we were blocked by a group of people.

Looking at this group of ragged people, young and old, Li Pingan didn't know what they were going to do, so he stopped. But he also took out the gun in the space, just in case.

Seeing the car stopped, an elderly man came over with a few young men.

The old man said to Li Pingan: "Comrade, what are you doing here?"

Li Pingan also got off the car and replied, "Hello, old comrade, I am from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiu City. I am passing by here on my way to deliver goods to another place. Is there anything I can do for you?"

At this time, several young men came over and said to the old man: "Village Chief, the car is empty, there is nothing in it!"

The old man nodded. He turned to Li Ping'an and said, "Well, since you are just passing by, forget it. We are here because we are afraid that some poachers will come to our mountains to hunt secretly."

"you can go now!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and everyone made way.

Seeing this, Li Pingan also hurriedly got into the car.

Fortunately, I didn't put the prey into the car as soon as I came down the mountain, otherwise I would be in trouble now.

Nowadays, every village is keeping a close eye on the mountains and forests near them, for fear that others will come looking for food.

Everyone was short of food, so the villages near the mountains had to go into the mountains to look for food.

They didn't dare to go into some deep mountains and old forests, so they could only search around the periphery. Any edible things there had been snatched away.

The big mountains nearby are also everyone's life-saving mountains. Anyone who dares to go in will become the enemy of the entire village.

Li Pingan couldn't help but feel relieved.

He started the car and immediately drove back to Sijiu City.

This time it was relatively smooth, and when they were almost at Sijiu City, Li Pingan found a place with trees and stopped the car.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Pingan took out five wild boars weighing more than 200 kilograms from the space, and also took out some pheasants, rabbits, etc. This time he didn't plan to bring too much back. Otherwise, he would bring a lot of things every time he went back. He would never be able to rest in peace in the future.

After loading his things, Li Ping'an drove back to the steel mill.

Soon the car arrived at the steel rolling mill.

The guards at the door were very excited when they saw Li Ping'an driving back.

Every time Li Ping'an goes out, he brings something unexpected to the factory.

This time was the same. When someone ran to the back of the carriage and saw five big wild boars and dozens of pheasants and rabbits inside, he immediately shouted with joy.

Now three or four people from the security department came over and surrounded the carriage.

Li Ping angrily honked the horn and shouted, "I say, open the door quickly. This thing can't get away, and I have to go back and report."

The security guys knew they were too excited. It had been a long time since they had seen meat.

So they hurried over to open the door. Someone also ran to the office building to report the news.

Li Pingan drove to the canteen's warehouse.

He was waiting for the leader to arrive, and then they would arrange for people to unload the truck.

Sure enough, after a while, Director Yang came with Li Huaide, Liu Zhiwei, Zhou Changming and his group. Director Wan from the canteen also came with Sha Zhu, He Daqing and a group of people from the kitchen.

Everyone went to see the prey in the carriage. When they saw the five big wild boars inside, they all laughed happily.

Director Yang patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Ping'an, you have solved the urgent problem of the factory this time. I will give you a great credit for this!"

Li Pingan replied: "Director Yang, I dare not take credit for this. It is my job to provide the workers in the factory with the necessary supplies."

"But it's getting harder and harder to hunt these prey. It took several of us a week to get these wild boars. As soon as we got out of the mountain, we were almost surrounded by the village outside. If we hadn't transported the prey separately, we probably wouldn't have been able to bring back all of them."

After hearing this, Director Yang also sighed and said, "Yes, everyone is having a hard time now. It's not easy for you to produce so much. If someone saw it, they would probably steal it."

Li Huaide also said: "If this happens again in the future, we will bring the security department to pick you up."

When Li Pingan heard about the future, he immediately said, "Forget it, Deputy Director Li. Several of our people are injured this time. I guess they won't want to go next time. Besides, everyone is short of food now. No matter how much money we have, we have nowhere to exchange for food!"

After hearing what Li Pingan said, several people nodded helplessly. Yes, now you can't buy food even if you have money.

After arranging for people to unload and weigh the trucks, Director Yang and his team went back first. These things will probably be sold out today. We can only give you extra food tomorrow.

Director Wan was very quick and finished weighing in a short while. The wild boar weighed more than 1,300 kilograms. There were also more than 30 pheasants and rabbits.

Li Ping'an took the receipt and went to the finance office to collect the money.

He returned the car and went home.

For several days, I have been wanting to go home early to see my wife and children, as well as Lou Xiao'e and the others.
