Chapter 117: The guide should not interfere in the sentinel’s affairs.
Ai Wanxin nodded. She called Fang Xiaoge and Gao Yating into the house and handed them the map she had drawn yesterday. "We are going to leave the city soon. This is my land in the west of the city. It is a mess now and needs to be cleaned up. We will move there when we come back."
"I have already found the workers for you. They are all in the central square. They will not work for nothing. Please register and I will pay you when you come back. But you will not be allowed to cheat or act slyly."
"Also, I promised to sponsor all orphans under the age of 16 in the base. You should count the number of people, and those who are willing can live with us later."
"I'll leave these two tasks to you. Can you handle them?"
Fang Xiaoge took the map and stared in amazement at the simple diagram of the fortress drawn on it.
They had only been back at the base for a few days, and Sister Ai had already fenced off a piece of land to build a fortress?!
Gao Yating was not as surprised as Fang Xiaoge. She bit her lip and nodded firmly: "Sister-in-law, I will do it, don't worry."
After giving instructions to the two of them, Ai Wanxin was about to go out when Gao Yating stopped her.
She turned around and looked at the little girl in front of her with some confusion.
Gao Yating glanced at Fang Xiaoge, and he understood. He then left the room first and closed the door behind him.
Gao Yating gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Ai Wanxin nodded.
"Sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaoyu and I had a quarrel before, and you came to mediate. I had some misunderstandings about you at that time and thought you were unkind..." Gao Yating said with a blushing face.
Ai Wanxin thought it was a big deal. She felt it was something from her previous life and it was not worth it for a little girl to tell her about it.
But since Gao Yating chose to speak it out, it meant that she must have been struggling with it for a long time, and she couldn't just treat it casually.
"Xiao Ting," she said softly, "As the old saying goes, old hair is as fresh as new. Some people live together for a lifetime and still don't know each other very well. We only met a few times back then. Your impression of me is the image I project."
“So one-sidedness is inevitable.”
“You don’t have to feel guilty about your temporary cognitive limitations.”
"I don't care about that either."
"What I care about is ability, character, and courage."
"You have the courage, but as for the rest, will you let me down?" Ai Wanxin asked, looking into her eyes.
Gao Yating took a deep breath and suppressed her slightly trembling voice: "No, Sister Ai, I won't let you down."
Ai Wanxin smiled slightly, looked at her faded purple hair, and said, "Sister Ai will bring you some new hair dye when I come back."
The two came out of the house, Zhao Jiajia pulled Gao Yating aside and asked, "Tingting, what did your sister-in-law say to you?"
Gao Yating looked at Ai Wan's clear-minded and handsome back and said, "Jia Jia, I think we are really lucky."
"Whether it's Brother Han or Sister Ai, they have no relationship with us, but they both want to teach us a truth, that is, people have to stand up for themselves."
"Now Sister Ai has assigned us a task. We must not only do it, but also do it well and beautifully. Will you come?"
Zhao Jiajia said hesitantly, "Can I...can I do it?"
"It has to be done whether it works or not. Are you going to just sit at home and eat nothing?" Gao Yating said sarcastically, glancing at Jiang Xiaoyu who was listening not far away.
"You!" Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red.
Gao Yating swung her ponytail and called out loudly, "Afeng, Jiajia, let's go to work."
A group of people followed Ai Wanxin and the other two to the central square. Gao Yating, who had just been making bold statements, suddenly became nervous when she saw the sea of people.
A huge display screen was set up on the white marble steps of the Sihai Guiyi Hall. At Ai Wanxin's signal, Prince Tang handed the edited film to the staff.
The surveillance video was of super clear quality, coupled with exciting background music. As soon as the video of Ai Wanxin summoning a meteor to burn away the zombie tide was broadcast, the crowd suddenly became excited.
"Wow--"
"Isn't this too strong?!"
"Isn't that Captain He's tiger? How could such a ferocious creature let her ride on its back?"
“It’s like the Pineapple God.”
"Idiot, it's Shura God."
"Two idiots, it's Ashura!"
"We'll be safe now that she's at the base!"
Ai Wan listened to everyone's discussion with satisfaction. She called Prince Tang to her side and instructed him, "Don't keep playing this video. Try a few more editing methods and add some more music. I'll send you more material when I have a chance on the road."
Prince Tang saw that his work was very popular, and his confidence increased. He patted his chest and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will complete the task!"
He Yang stood aside with his arms folded, watching the video three times with a smile on his face, then walked over to Ai Wanxin and said, "Sweetheart, the car is ready, can we set off?"
Ai Wanxin looked at him and asked, "Are you going too?"
Yu Luen followed and said slowly, "When Song Jiang came to Liangshan, he was the second in command after Chao Gai. Whenever there was something going on, Song Jiang would say, 'Brother, you are the leader of the camp, how can you move lightly? I will go for you.'"
"Song Jiang made many military achievements, his prestige grew, and he gradually sidelined King Chao. I wonder if Miss Ai and Captain He have heard this story?"
Ai Wan was puzzled and asked, "Brother? He is not my brother."
Yu Luen was startled, only to hear Ai Wanxin continue: "Guide Yu, so many sentinels just participated in the battle, why didn't you go to clean up the mess, but are still here slacking off and caring about me and my brother, isn't your workload too full?"
Yu Luen quickly adjusted his state and said with a smile: "Miss Ai, I heard you say that the combat team led by you contributed the most, so I came to help you with the work first, how can it be considered as slacking off?"
"Don't come here uninvited again and again. You have no sense of boundaries at all. To tell you the truth, we have a guide outside. You just need to do your own job well. The guide should leave it to meddling in the sentinel's business." Ai Wanxin said bluntly.
"Captain He, let me make it clear in advance that every grain of food I donated to the base will be spent on the people. I won't allow people who just eat and don't work to eat my rice." Ai Wan changed his mind and said to He Yang.
He Yang smiled and said, "Isn't he my brother? Why did he become Captain He again?"
"In the end, my brother was shot in the face by a poisonous arrow. He couldn't eat or drink, his whole body was swollen, and he died in great pain. Oh, I don't know what Guide Yu meant. Who was he cursing?" Ai Wanxin said with a sneer.
Yu Luen originally wanted to sow discord, but after just a few words, he ended up cursing He Yang?
He Yang, who was innocently shot by an arrow, said helplessly: "Then it should be Captain He."
Yu Luen pushed up his frameless glasses and smiled politely, "How could I possibly curse Captain He? If Miss Ai insists on saying so, I can't do anything about it."
