Chapter 204 The time of cause and effect(1/2)

"Ah? Those water pipes..."

Hearing the sound coming from the other side, Qin Tang on the other side of the communicator and Chen Xin on the side looked over sharply.

Even Chu De, who looked nonchalant just now, raised his head.

Zhu Xianyue still looked very calm, as if she just asked a casual question.

However, Zhu Xianyue naturally knew the lethality of this sentence.

Because I'm afraid no one on the other side expected that she could suddenly ask such a question.

Just when Zhu Xianyue asked this question, the camera above his head suddenly moved slightly, as if it had captured something interesting, and began to sink one after another.

Chu De looked at the cameras floating down and whispered from behind, "Hey! Hey! Wait, where are you going?"

"This guy has never asked this kind of question in all these years." Qin Tang said meaningfully later.

"Is it because you finally became a little smarter after my blow, so you know how to ask this kind of question?"

"No." Li Feiwan next to him laughed.

"If you take away his repaired weapons now, he still won't ask you where you are going with those weapons."

"It doesn't matter if you take them all apart."

Qin Tang didn't expect that Li Fei would suddenly say such a sentence at the party, and he was instantly stuck.

Li Feiwan continued as if he didn't notice anything unusual about him, "Didn't you notice? This guy is always very tolerant of the people he likes."

"So he should like you very much now."

"Stop talking nonsense, who needs that guy to like you?" Qin Tang immediately rolled his eyes.

However, his eyes wandered from side to side uncontrollably.

The congressman who had just questioned Zhu Xianyue confidently was stunned.

He was obviously stunned for a moment by these words that were not within his expectation, and he hesitated a little sluggishly.

Wu Mian rarely asked them anything in return. He has always been a very submissive person in the eyes of everyone.

He is a very typical soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to obey, so there is no trace of resistance to orders on Wu Mian's body.

But at this moment, Wu Mian's words were a little different from his past habits.

"This, this is not a big deal, right?" The congressman realized that his pause was a bit long, so he immediately pretended to be calm and said.

It's quite easy for him to pretend to be righteous.

After all, these congressmen have quite a lot of experience in this area over the years.

Wherever you are unreasonable, you can use your momentum to suppress it.

The congressman said arrogantly, "It's just a bunch of water pipes. Why do you care about those things?"

——The moment the words came out of her mouth, Zhu Xianyue knew she had won.

Because after the congressman said those words, the eyes of many people nearby changed immediately.

He didn't know what he said wrong.

Because these congressmen never think that water pipes are such an important thing. After all, they have lived in the city since they were young, and running water seems to be available from birth.

However, for the surrounding people of St. Liwen City, they have become deeply aware of the importance of water in recent times.

——After the water pipe used to transport water in St. Liwen City was damaged, these people were immersed in the pain of finding water every day.

Although the old base now has abundant water resources, no one can forget the experience during the exile.

Therefore, the congressman did not realize that he had let the truth slip away with just one sentence.

He still said confidently, "Besides, what kind of good thing can a person like you want to get?"

"In order to lay that water pipe, you wasted time and money, and kept many people at home who originally had to go out to work, just to let them work with you to lay this water pipe?"

As he talked, the more he went home, the more reasonable he felt, and his voice became louder.

The same reason was used by District 13 to prevent these people from laying water pipes at that time. The laying of water pipes happened to be during the farming season.

They used the reason that laying water pipes requires labor at home, which made many families angry at Wu Mian.

The congressmen above will never explain to them what these water pipes are used for, so in the eyes of these ordinary people, water pipes are just things that delay their farming.

After hearing the news of Faceless's death, these people couldn't wait to remove the water pipes.

——Instead of spreading these useless things in the ground, why not dig them out and do something with them.

At the very least, if these metals are sold, they can be sold for a considerable amount of money.

During that time, residents of District 13 were everywhere frantically tearing apart the water pipes they had laid.

They dug out the water pipes section by section from the deep ditches they had dug, and rushed to dismantle them, destroying the pipes that could have brought them sweet water, and they were extremely excited to dismantle them.

And they don't care at all that what they destroy is what sustains their lives and can bring them a future.

Most of these people are still gathered here, lying around the church with blurred eyes.

"Don't you know that if they had those water pipes, their farming speed would be much faster?" Zhu Xianyue said slowly.

"A sharpened sword will never make a difference in the wood-chopping process. Don't you, as a member of Parliament, understand this principle?"

"It's total nonsense!" The congressman immediately dismissed Zhu Xianyue's words.

The more he spoke, the more confident he became. The anxiety and uneasiness he felt just now completely disappeared from his body, and he seemed to be back at his peak.

After all, even the Ole Empire soldiers who stepped on their heads just now have been captured and become prisoners. This congressman felt that he couldn't be happier at this moment.

It was as if he had just gotten lucky, and everything that happened was within his expectations.

As long as the soldiers of the Ole Empire don't fight again, what else can scare them?

Look at the faceless person in front of you again, asking some stupid questions.

It's just some water pipes. Once they are dismantled, they will be dismantled. Why are you still bothering with these things now?

In fact... that congressman knew very well where these water pipes went.

He was one of the people who ordered the removal of water pipes.

This order was issued directly from Qi Feng. The congressman did not care why General Qi Feng asked for this, but he only knew that if he complied, he would be able to get a large sum of money.

If that's the case, then why doesn't he do it?

However, Wu Mian talked a lot of nonsense today, which made the congressman gradually become impatient.

He felt that Wu Mian was too ignorant today, and he must sue him properly when he returns.

However, fortunately, he is not sensible, and everything is no different from before. Since Faceless can ask such a question, it proves that he is as stupid as before.

Being stupid is good, being stupid proves that it is easier to control.

"Faceless, come down quickly and escort us back." The congressman finally couldn't help but scolded him coldly.

"Forget it, I won't delve into the previous matters."

"If you can successfully escort us back this time, it will be considered a great achievement of yours and will give you a chance to atone for your sins."

At this moment, Zhu Xianyue was following the camera floating above her head and looking at it slightly.

The camera looks very cute, it looks like a strange big eye.

Zhu Xianyue smiled slightly.

Without Qifeng, it seems that these congressmen are really stupid.

It shouldn't be said that without the help of that comic, Qi Feng would not be able to control the people under him from saying stupid things.

Otherwise, Qi Feng would never have allowed this congressman to say such a thing before.

"Then, those water pipes were repaired by Wu Mian?" Chen Xin heard the conversation of the people in front of her, and her pupils shrank slightly.

If it weren't for his good hearing, Chen Xin would have definitely believed that he heard something out of the blue at this moment.

No one has ever said that those water pipes were repaired without repairs!

Chen Xin has always been grateful to the person who laid the water pipes for St. Liwen City, especially during the previous escape.

There are some things that can only be understood through personal experience.

During her escape, Chen Xin experienced being beaten just for taking a sip of water.

That was a scene he would never have imagined before the war came.

But when that important water pipe burst, everything came to an end.

Chen Xin had once thought that the water pipes might have been made by an official from St. Liwen City.

That official must be very foresight, otherwise, he would not do such a far-sighted thing.

He also thought that if he could see this official again after the situation stabilized, he would definitely thank him.

In Chen Xin's mind, there are several candidates for laying water pipes.

Of course, most of those people appear in the news regularly.
