After leaving the city, they each arrived at different locations at different times according to the instructions they received.
The team led by Lu Qiyan needed to reach the foot of the back of Blade Mountain before dark, climb up the mountain road under the cover of night, and reach the top of the mountain at the latest at the end of the hour of Chou to send out a signal.
Time is short, the task is heavy, and there is no time to lose!
Everyone quickened their pace.
After Lu Qiyan left, Xia Mingyue closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon.
Jiang Zhuguo brought over lunch.
Thinking that Xia Mingyue had only eaten a bowl of egg water in the morning, her stomach must be empty at this time, but since she just woke up, her appetite probably wouldn't be very good, so she only prepared some fragrant and delicious, but soft and easy-to-eat vegetarian buns.
The filling of the vegetarian buns is grated green pumpkin, shredded soaked black fungus, fried chopped green onions, and fried eggs, which are mixed evenly with salt, five-spice powder, and pepper oil.
The buns steamed in this way are sweet, not greasy, and have a refreshing fragrance, making them quite delicious.
Xia Mingyue's stomach was empty, so she ate three fist-sized buns in one go before stopping, and then drank half a bowl of soft and delicious mung bean porridge.
After eating and drinking, Xia Mingyue burped with satisfaction, "Is Zhuang Cui awake? Has she had lunch?"
"Sister Zhuang must be very tired. She is still sleeping now. Sister Lu told her to sleep a little longer." Jiang Zhuguo said with a smile, "The buns and porridge are ready. Sister Zhuang can eat them anytime when she wakes up."
"I've already gone to Buyun Tower and told Manager Ge that Sister Xia has been feeling unwell these past two days and needs to rest for a few days. Manager Ge told Sister Xia to rest assured and that he would be there for everything at Buyun Tower, so Sister Xia should not worry and just concentrate on resting."
"Everything is the same as before in the central kitchen. Sister Lu, Madam Song and I can manage it properly. Sister Xia, you don't have to worry about it."
Jiang Zhuguo had been working in the central kitchen for about a year. He had become very experienced and managed everything very well.
Xia Mingyue was completely relieved at that moment.
Afraid that she would sleep too long and would not be able to fall asleep at night, Xia Mingyue got up, walked back and forth in the yard, and then sat in the main room for a while.
It was not until the evening that Zhuang Cui got up.
Perhaps because he had slept for a whole day, he was very hungry. Perhaps also because he felt at ease and his appetite was open, he began to devour the buns brought by Jiang Zhuguo and Lu Shi.
His hands and mouth did not stop for a moment, until he ate all the buns in the basket in one breath, then he let out a breath, looked at Jiang Zhuguo and Lu, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Anything else?"
"Yes, plenty of buns." Jiang Zhuguo hurriedly picked up all the hot buns on the stove and added another bowl of soup for Zhuang Cui.
A light and delicious mushroom soup with a little pepper added can help you sweat and make you sleep more comfortably at night.
By the way, I went to check on Wu Jin's condition.
They all have big appetites. Wu Jin has been hungry for a day and a night, so he is probably eating like crazy at this moment.
Sure enough, the black gold earthenware pot full of fried rolls soaked in soup had been completely eaten up, and even the large stewed bones on the side had been almost eaten up, and he was still eating voraciously, obviously not full yet.
Jiang Zhuguo added two more buns to Wu Jin's meal and gave him a meat bone so that he could slowly grind his teeth after he was full.
Xia Mingyue had eaten a lot of pumpkin and egg-filled buns at noon, so now she ate at a normal pace and slowly.
After dinner, everyone who had been busy all day went to rest early.
Xia Mingyue was not sleepy, but still felt a little tired, so she just lay on the bed.
I couldn't concentrate on reading the storybook, and I couldn't fall asleep with my eyes closed. When I opened the window, all I saw was the pitch-black night and the moon that was occasionally covered by thin clouds.
I don’t know how Lu Qiyan and the others are doing now.
Xia Mingyue's face was full of worry, her hands clenched tightly, and she prayed silently in her heart. I hope everything goes well.
No, everything will be fine.
At this time, Lu Qiyan and others had already started climbing along the path on the back mountain of Blade Mountain.
The map drawn by the herbalist was very detailed. We walked along the route on the map. Although the road was rugged and difficult to walk on, it was still relatively smooth.
As they walked, they arrived at the top of the map drawn by the herbalist, but it was still a long way to the top of Blade's Edge Mountain.
Here, it depends on Lu Qiyan and his team.
Climbing at night is already difficult, and tonight the moon is covered by thin clouds, making the light unclear, which makes it even more difficult.
Lu Qiyan glanced at it and said, "I'll go up and take a look first."
Among them, his lightness skill is the best, and he is also the team leader, so he has no choice but to take responsibility for this matter.
Although he was not completely sure at this time.
"Take this." Feng Maocai pulled something out from his waist and handed it to Lu Qiyan, "This is a mountaineering pick. It can help Commander Lu stabilize his body."
"And this, the Flying Tiger Claw. I spent a lot of money to have it made. It works pretty well. Commander Lu can try it."
"To be on the safe side, it's best to tie a rope around Commander Lu's waist. The rope will be placed here. If anything unexpected happens, we can reach out and grab it to ensure that Commander Lu does not fall off the cliff."
"Yes, yes, there is one more thing..."
As he spoke, Lu Qiyan's hands and body were already covered with various tools.
Seeing that the workmanship and appearance of those things were no worse than those of the Wen family's Black Dragon Team, Lu Qiyan couldn't help but touch his nose.
This County Magistrate Feng is truly a treasure chest.
However, these things are just in time for use now, thanks to County Magistrate Feng's treasure chest.
"Thank you." Lu Qiyan took all his things with him, then jumped up and started the final climb.
The moonlight was dim, and the people below could not see Lu Qiyan's current situation. They could only hear rustling sounds and the sound of falling gravel.
Some people were very worried, "Can Commander Lu do it?"
"It will definitely work, don't worry." Feng Maocai straightened his chest, looking as if he had made a promise.
"Does the county lieutenant have such confidence in Commander Lu?"
"Having confidence in Commander Lu is one thing, but the most important thing is that my things are guaranteed to work!" Feng Maocai was confident and spoke in a decisive tone.
Not to mention anything else, just the Flying Tiger Claw alone, I wonder how much better it is than the ones in the county government's armory!
He must have confidence in his own things.
Everyone, "..."
Why didn’t I realize that my county lieutenant was like this before?
I just hope Commander Lu gets everything done.
Lu Qiyan, who was being talked about, moved swiftly and quickly reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain was a large protruding rock, flat and smooth. There was no place to step on at all, and the climbing pickaxe was of no use at all.
Lu Qiyan estimated the distance and weighed the Flying Tiger Claw in his hand. After a few attempts, he suddenly made a move and threw the Flying Tiger Claw out with force! (End of this chapter)
