Chapter 187 Big Tree Foundation
"Dad, what are you hiding from Mom?" Lin Xianwen forced his eyes open and looked at his yawning father.
"Dad passed the written test, interview, and physical examination for the civil service exam, didn't he? We live together every day, so what can we hide? By the way, Dad, when are you going to report for work?" Lin Zisu asked, rubbing his eyes.
Lin Xianwen: "That's right! Logically, Xinghai City is short of people to do the work! The government is so efficient that it is impossible to let those who have passed the civil service exam sit idle!"
Lin Youcai: "It's almost done, it's almost done. We are busy building the house! I will apply for a half-month extension and then report to work!"
"Stop changing the subject, both of you. Tell me, did you encounter any problems during your training at the sentry post this morning?" Shen Xianglan frowned and thought, then stared at the two of them with wide eyes and asked, "Teacher Su sent you back at noon. Did you encounter any criminals during your training this morning?!"
Lin Youcai suddenly woke up, and his sleepiness disappeared a lot. He asked hurriedly: "Criminals?! What kind of criminals did you encounter? It's broad daylight, it shouldn't be! There are soldiers and police patrolling everywhere!"
Seeing that she couldn't fool him, Lin Zisu sighed and said, "No, no... We didn't encounter any criminals, but..." The two siblings talked about what happened in the morning. At the end, they also repeated what Su Ling had told them.
Shen Xianglan and Lin Youcai had complicated expressions and it took a long time before they spoke.
Shen Xianglan swallowed back the words of reproach that came to her lips. For a normal person, when someone calls for help, whether or not they can successfully save the person is one thing, but they will inevitably go to check the situation.
Lin Youcai: "After living peacefully in Qingshui City for more than two months, I almost forgot what kind of world I was in. When you go out in the future, bring weapons with you, travel in groups, and be careful. Try not to go to places with few people or "green tents."
Shen Xianglan: "It's not the same in modern times. This kind of thing happens in every era and country. In addition to being cautious, we must also improve our ability to resist. We didn't have the conditions to flee before. Once the house is built, I will make some powder and potion for you to take with you."
Lin Xianwen: "It's still more convenient in the age of the Internet and telephones. Of course, there's no need to think about these things. It would be great if we could make flares! When something happens, we can use red, green and blue flares and shoot them into the sky!"
Lin Youcai: "There should be fireworks in this era, right?!"
Lin Xianwen: "Fireworks can be heard from close up during the day, which is ok at night, but you can't see them clearly when they are set off in the sky during the day! Flares are better, they fly high and can be seen clearly during the day."
Lin Zisu: "I think the only thing we can get without much effort right now is pepper spray! It's simple and practical! As for flares, ask Su Ling tomorrow. I think the military should have them. See if we can buy some as backup. If that doesn't work, we can try to make them ourselves!"
Lin Xianwen: "Don't you have an electric baton? Electric batons are most useful for close range attacks!"
Shen Xianglan: "Electric batons are electric batons, and pepper spray has its own uses! Find a reason to remind everyone tomorrow, especially women and children."
Lin Youcai: "That's easy. Just say that I overheard the conversation between the staff members. Tell everyone to be careful. This is a very common thing! Tell everyone to bring some chili powder and chili water with them just in case."
"That's fine. Ah~ I'm so sleepy~ I have to go to training tomorrow morning, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." Lin Zisu blinked her eyes and wiped away the tears that came from yawning.
Shen Xianglan: "Okay, go wash it!"
After the family of four took turns taking a shower, Lin Youcai and Lin Xianwen took electric batons and fire axes and went to sleep in the tent on the roof of the car.
The zipper inside the tent can be locked. The tent has several layers of fabric, which is fireproof, waterproof, and windproof, and cannot be easily scratched or cut with a knife. However, it is summer now, so the layers of fabric around the tent are lifted aside to reveal the gauze.
The father and son slept with weapons in their hands, enjoying the natural breeze. Dahei was on guard, and the RV would honk its horn to remind them. The fence was also built, and at night there were police and soldiers patrolling inside and outside the city. The family of three slept peacefully, except for Lin Zisu.
Lin Zisu felt sleepy, so she took a shower and lay down on the small bed, and fell asleep. She had nightmares all night long, and in her dream she saw the pile of corpses in the bushes when she went to relieve herself on the way to escape. Gray, turbid and lifeless eyes, wide open, staring at you motionlessly.
She ran and ran, and fell heavily to the ground, her palm was pierced through again, and the blood kept flowing. She was so scared that she got up and kept running, but she couldn't find her RV, and there was no one around.
She turned around and saw a naked female body with her hands and feet tied tightly with straw ropes. Her short black hair was very messy, with a few strands of hair hanging over her eyebrows. The eyes under the hair were looking at you.
They all died with their eyes open.
"Not up yet? Wake up! Teacher Su is here to pick you up for training!" Shen Xianglan, who had gotten up early to breathe fresh air and do stretching exercises in the yard, heard a familiar voice outside the yard. After answering, she hurriedly got in the car and called her daughter to get up.
Lin Zisu woke up in a daze, feeling her heart pounding. She got up exhausted, changed her clothes, washed up, started the RV, drove into the yard, and exposed the gate.
Su Ling looked at the exhausted and listless Lin Zisu and asked, "Did you go on a secret mission last night? Did you not sleep all night?" He wanted to ask, did you go out to steal last night?
Lin Zisu: "Alas~ It's hard to put it into words."
Lin Xianwen drove the mule cart, Su Ling rode a horse beside him, and Lin Zisu sat at the door of the carriage, looking tired.
Lin Zisu: "No, brother, you didn't have a nightmare last night? Teacher, you didn't have a nightmare either?"
Su Ling: “No…”
Lin Xianwen shook his head: "I was tired after a whole day, and I fell asleep at the end of the day. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn! It felt like I had only slept for a short time! The time I spent sleeping passed so quickly!
Su Ling thought for a moment, "She is young and has seen little, so she is afraid. It is normal for her to have nightmares at night! Don't think too much! The woman was sent to the hospital in Qingshui City for surgery yesterday at noon. A boat happened to go there at noon, and the military doctor and the police accompanied her there. The hospital in Xinghai City is still under construction, so there are no conditions for surgery."
Su Ling always spoke concisely and seldom said so much. Lin Zisu knew that he wanted to make the brother and sister feel more at ease.
Lin Zisu: "Then her treatment must cost a lot of money!"
Su Ling: "Well, the government will advance the payment. Once the criminals are caught, their money will be extorted to pay for the hospital fees, and the excess will be given to the victims. If the criminals have no money, the Big Tree Foundation established by the government will pay."
Lin Zisu: "Big Tree Foundation? Big Tree?"
Su Ling: "What's wrong with calling yourself a big tree? Isn't it good to become a big tree that stands tall and proud?"
Lin Xianwen: "I just feel that the name is a bit random..."
Lin Zisu: "Where does the money for the Big Tree Foundation come from?"
Su Ling: "With donations from compatriots, there are all kinds of people."
"Is there a big tree foundation in Xinghai City? Can I donate in Xinghai City?" Lin Zisu leaned forward and asked Su Ling.
Su Ling looked at her and said, "You want to donate money?"
