Chapter 1563: 1563. What a Big Ant

Hearing his words, Li Du immediately asked, "Then what is this?"

"This is..." Maung Juexin wanted to say subconsciously, but he realized it immediately. After opening and closing his mouth several times, he said, "This is my family heirloom! It was passed down from my grandfather's grandfather!"

Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry mayor, what happened today was too unexpected, maybe someone wanted to deal with me, but it turned out to be bad luck for you."

Mao Juexin didn't listen to him. He looked at the broken copper pot and stove in dismay, and he was muttering something to himself, because Li Du couldn't hear clearly because his voice was so small.

Needless to say, the meal he ate was tasteless. After eating, he didn't pack up his things, but got up and left directly, with an invisible bleak look on his back.

Li Du couldn't bear it, but he thought that Mao Juexin brought this copper stove to the mountain with malicious intentions. He did it to save his life, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Seeing that Maung Juexin went directly into the grove without looking back, Li Du asked, "Hey, mayor, don't you want the pot and stove? Maybe they can still be used after repairing."

Maung Juexin didn't answer, and staggered into the woods and disappeared.

Li Du went to pack up the pot and stove and gave them to Maung Juexin's wife, and said in Hong language, "Take them back."

The mayor's wife shook her head and said, "I can't touch this thing, and no one can touch it except my husband, so let's put it here first."

Since the other party said so, Li Du had nothing to insist on.

He felt that the stove was a bit evil, so he packed it up and put it in a place far away from their camp.

The Marklov brothers helped the mayor's wife and daughter to send the plates and chopsticks down the mountain. When they came back, it was dark. Li Du asked, "Have you gone to the mayor's house?"

"Yes."

"Did you see anything unusual?"

Little Marklov said: "It's nothing unusual. There is no one at home, and the mayor is not at home. I don't know where he went."

Li Du nodded and said: "Okay, then everyone should rest early, arrange a good person to be on duty at night, and ensure that the gun does not leave the body."

After a while, the engineer came over slowly and said, "Boss Li, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Li Du asked with a smile.

The engineer rubbed his hands, and said in a low voice, "That's right, we didn't know that you wanted to open mines in Denai Mountain, and we all know the rumors of the jade curse in Denai Mountain, so, so, I hope you understand that, we don't dare to continue, so what... ..."

Seeing his embarrassment, Li Du helped him and said, "You don't want to work here anymore, do you want to pay the bill and leave?"

The engineer nodded embarrassingly: "Yes, logically speaking, we shouldn't do this, after all, you are the distinguished guest of Lord Pao, but, this De Naishan is a bit evil."

Li Du motioned him to sit down, and said: "Let's talk, what's wrong with De Nai Mountain? People who come here to look for jade will die because of ignorance, right?"

The engineer shook his head and said, "No, it's not so evil. It's fine to find jade, but if the project is still on the mountain, then the problem will be bigger."

Li Du said: "But why weren't you afraid before?"

The engineer blinked and didn't know what to say.

Li Du said: "Is today's gunfight frightening you?"

Hearing what he said, the engineer suddenly collapsed: "Yes, this is too scary, why are people shooting us with guns? Malabi, a bullet hit me right in front of me, and a stone hit me. On the skull, it hurts..."

Li Du patted him on the shoulder, comforted him and said, "Don't worry, what happened today was an accident, and it won't happen again in the future."

He is very confident about this, because today's affairs are all arranged by him, and he destroys the copper pot and copper furnace just to create chaos.

The engineer didn't believe his words, and shook his head vigorously: "Boss Li, let us go, you are big bosses, you are big men, we are ordinary people, ordinary people with families to support, we can't meddle in your affairs!"

Li Du didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What can I do?"

The engineer said with a mournful face, "Just now I saw someone on night duty with a gun."

Li Du said: "It's just for self-protection. Don't be afraid. It has nothing to do with you. You can just dig mines. You can work for another five days at most. After five days, I will definitely let you go. At that time, I will give each of you a red envelope." ,OK?"

The engineer was very talkative, but he was too embarrassed to refuse Li Du's request to stay, so he finally had no choice but to say: "The red envelope is free, Boss Li, if we encounter trouble in the future, you have to help us save our lives!"

Li Du laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I promise to save your lives and leave here..."

He was trying to comfort the engineer when someone suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing the exclamation, the engineer was so frightened that he almost jumped up, Li Du was also startled, and quickly got up and asked, "What's going on?"

Brother Wolf rushed up and down to the person who made the exclamation, and the person pointed forward. Brother Wolf saw a miner lying on the ground, so he went to help him up quickly.

Li Du and others surrounded him, when the little white monkey on his shoulder suddenly cried out: "Zhizhi, Zhizhi!"

The little white monkey screamed very quickly. It stretched out one paw and pointed at the ground, while the other paw grabbed Li Du's collar and tore it vigorously, looking extremely nervous.

Li Du looked at the ground hastily. There was nothing but stones and weeds. He looked at the miner and asked, "What's wrong?"

A miner stammered, "No, no, I don't know. He just said he was going to go to the bathroom. Then, I saw him jump up and faint again..."

Brother Wolf held a dagger in his hand. He used the tip of the knife to cut a long wound on the skin of the miner's foot, and then squeezed the blood out.

Hearing the miner's explanation, he said in a deep voice, "This guy was bitten by some poisonous insect. It's not a big problem. It's just that the toxin caused some numbness to his legs."

"Why are poisonous insects so powerful?" Li Du asked again.

The worker looked at the ground blankly and said, "I don't know, it seems to be an ant. I was squatting here just now and saw a big ant. I had nothing to do so I played with it with a piece of grass..."

Li Du asked in his heart, "What does the ant look like?"

Da Mao said, "Is it this kind of ant?"

He shone the flashlight on the ground, and in the bright light, a few big ants came out from the cracks in the stone.

These ants are very big, as long as an adult's knuckle. They have a dark body, but there are red spots on their stomachs. The red spots seem to be transparent, and they grow around its belly. It looks like Quite gorgeous.

The miner quickly nodded and said: "Yes, it is this kind of ants, but there were few of them at that time."

Li Du immediately said: "Get out of here, brother wolf, find a bottle to collect a few of these ants, forget it, don't collect them, let's go first."
