Summary of the previous chapter: Not everything in the secret passage is peaceful, for example, the pot of "holy fire" that Miao Xiaomiao accidentally discovered...
Hua Yue stepped forward in surprise, looked at the "holy fire" in Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and asked: "According to legend, the holy fire will corrode anything that touches it for the first time, and the second time,
It corrodes and turns into the most poisonous flower in the world..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "Yue'er, it seems that you have heard of holy fire, but do you know why it is called holy fire?"
Hua Yue shook her head.
Ma Xiaoquan gently stroked the petals: "Because it is very beautiful, so beautiful that countless people are fighting for it, and they are even willing to fight against each other... just because... it can
The elixir that brings people back to life..."
"Resurrection from the dead?" Li Qinghan ran over and said in surprise, "How is it possible that the holy fire can't bring people back to life... Those are all legends..."
"It can..." Ma Xiaoquan grinned, "It's just that a person who comes back from the dead will no longer have any consciousness, just like a walking corpse... So... you guys
Do you know what this holy fire is used for?"
"Huh, I'm just here to interrogate the prisoner, what's the point of showing off!"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked back, and saw a long black woman looking at him with a contemptuous smile on her face.
"Beiming...Beiming Shuang? You...when did you..."
The black woman smiled slightly, shrugged and walked forward, slowly saying: "Hua Qingqing is a good girl, but it's a pity that her little aunt got there first..."
Hua Yue blushed and lowered her head.
"And Sister Qinghan... actually gave birth to a son for this bad guy? Well, the little guy is really interesting..."
"Sister Beiming..." Li Qinghan stepped forward and asked, "How did you know we were here, and how could you still find us here?"
"Haha, because I just know... Ma Xiaoquan, you came to such a good place and you didn't even call me?"
"This... you... aren't you Bei Mingxue?"
"Ah," the black woman stroked her forehead and said, "My sister is tired and needs a rest, so I came out. It just so happens that I am very bored recently, and my friends are also very hungry. Ma Xiaoquan, if you don't agree
I will stay here, and I will go out to find food for my friends...ah...there are many people in Beijing, who should I kill first?"
"Okay, okay, okay." Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and grabbed the black woman's arm, "I'm begging you, you can stay. As long as you don't mess around, you can do whatever you want here. But you can't disturb us.
....."
"Okay, you said so, then give me the...oh, you called it holy fire, right?"
"Give it to you? What can I do for you? This flower is highly poisonous... I am immune to all poisons, so I dare to touch it..."
"My Beiming family is an expert in medicine. Can't I study and study? Besides, I didn't say to take it with my hands." After saying that, the black woman raised her head and stretched out towards Ma Xiaoquan.
"Uh, okay"
...
After Bei Mingshuang caught the holy fire with his head, he ran away without knowing where he was.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. He couldn't take care of this girl, and he didn't dare to take care of her. He was not worried about Bei Mingshuang, because her hair was as black as a devil's.
"Okay, everyone, I've finished what I have to say. Let's rest here today. Well, every day from now on, your task is to move the ants. To be precise, it is to carry food and water here.
...Don't blame me for not reminding you that you are not allowed to find helpers. You have to rely on yourself for everything. No matter how you were served at home in the past or how hard you were unable to lift things, from today on, you are
My Victory Eleven members, you have to be responsible for yourselves. You have to do everything yourself... Oh, by the way, my Ma family will no longer provide you with anything from today on.
You have to think about how to find food and water...how to obtain it."
...
After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he walked to the corner and sat on a stone bench to rest. Hua Yue stepped forward and whispered: "Ma Xiaoquan, wouldn't this be cruel?"
Ma Xiaoquan glared at Hua Yue: "Yue'er, you are our housekeeper, you can eat and drink as usual."
"What about you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I am the same as them, I will never take another penny or a grain of rice from home."
"Ah? What about Qinghan?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and was about to say that Qinghan was the "Goddess of Fire", but he didn't need to, but when he was about to say it, Li Qinghan came over and said: "I am the vice-captain of the Victory Eleven, Ma Xiaoquan, you are the captain
Everyone must abide by the rules, can I make an exception?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not speak. He looked at Li Qinghan. The latter's expression was very determined, and he did not seem unhappy or shaken at all.
"Okay" Ma Xiaoquan stood up, "Since you are so determined, then I can't say anything else. We are the Victory Eleven... We are a team."
Hua Yue said dissatisfied: "What about me? The Victory Eleven eliminated me?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "No, the victory of eleven people will come at a dangerous price. You are our Xiao He. When did you say Xiao He rushed to the front to hit someone?"
"Disgusting!" Hua Yue rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaoquan, but she felt happy in her heart.
...
In the next few days, Ma Xiaoquan and his team members did nothing. Everyone went out during the day and returned to the secret passage at night. Everyone had only one task every day, which was to go out to find food and drink and carry them back.
In fact, the secret tunnel is not far from Beijing. The team members are all girls from wealthy families. They all came to Beijing with savings. If any of them want to take a shortcut, they can secretly go to the city to buy food and water and come back, but...
.... None of the team members did this. They handed over all the silver coins they had with them to Hua Yue, and followed Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan to suffer in the suburbs.
In Ma Xiaoquan's view, the suburbs of Beijing are not considered a testing spot because they are so rich in resources.
Walking in the woods on the outskirts of the city, you can often see hares, wild ducks... and even the occasional wild boar passing by for food...
