Chapter 124 Avoiding It
Li Huaide had some knowledge of Li Qin's drinking capacity from the beginning, so he knew that many people would eventually pass out at this drinking party.
Therefore, beds were arranged in the staff dormitory in advance.
After dinner, everyone except Li Qin took a nap in the dormitory.
As for Li Qin himself, he leisurely returned to the courtyard house.
Because it was quite late when the drinking party ended, by the time he returned to the courtyard house, the gate was already closed.
However, it wasn't locked.
This actually made things convenient for Li Qin.
Otherwise, he would have to call Yan Bugui to open the door.
Li Qin thought no one would know he had returned to the courtyard house, but little did he know that Yan Bugui had heard him opening the courtyard house gate.
When Yan Bugui saw Li Qin through the window, he originally wanted to go closer.
The news that the steel mill workers had received a pound of meat had already spread, and he naturally knew about it as well:
Yan Bugui naturally wanted to take advantage of the meat that Li Qin had received.
However, when he saw that Li Qin was not carrying anything, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
Yan Bugui naturally had no interest in doing anything that didn't bring him any benefit.
That's how Li Qin was able to return to his room in the front yard.
Although the effects of the alcohol had worn off somewhat by the time Li Qin returned, he was still a little dazed.
So I went straight to bed and slept.
The next three days are a holiday, and everyone, whether they are factory workers, school teachers, or in any other profession, will have the same opportunity.
Therefore, on the second day, most of the residents in the courtyard got up a little later than usual.
Li Qin, in particular, had drunk a lot of liquor the night before, and when he woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
Fortunately, the liquor of this era was basically made from pure grains, so even though I drank quite a lot last night, I didn't have any headaches or other symptoms the next day.
After getting up, Li Qin immediately took his toiletries to the Central Courtyard to wash up.
When the door was opened, Yan Bugui was already tending to the few flowers and plants he had planted.
Seeing Li Qin come out of the room, Yan Bugui instinctively wanted to say something.
But then, as if he had thought of something, he moved his mouth, but in the end, he only gave Li Qin a perfunctory greeting.
This surprised Li Qin quite a bit.
He noticed that Yan Bugui's attitude towards him seemed to have become colder, even wary.
Although Yan Bugui's attitude towards him wasn't exactly good in the past either.
But at least they weren't on guard.
Although Li Qin was puzzled, he didn't care much.
In his eyes, the people in the courtyard were just tools for him to manipulate his emotions.
He didn't care about how these people treated him.
However, when Li Qin arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, he sensed something was amiss.
At this time, there were already some people in the middle courtyard.
They might be washing vegetables or clothes by the sink, or doing other things.
Interestingly, when Li Qin arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, the way these people looked at him was somewhat complicated.
Pity, sympathy, tenderness, defensiveness, mockery, amusement...
When he arrived at the pool to wash up, the people around the pool instinctively moved away from him.
Li Qin thought it was because of some kind of smell on him, or something else.
However, after inspection, it was found that this was not the case.
Li Qin naturally couldn't miss the strange reactions of the people around him.
If he hadn't yet mastered the Soul-Seizing Technique, he would have used it on these people to see what they were really thinking.
Unable to figure out the truth, Li Qin could only quickly finish washing up and then return to the room in the front yard.
[Emotional Power +500]
[Emotional Power +300]
[Emotional Power +200]
[Emotional Power +100]
On his way back, he made sure to check the system notification.
I've noticed that since this morning, I've been constantly receiving emotional energy.
Although he didn't know what the people in the courtyard were up to, he didn't care anymore when he saw so much emotional power.
Li Qin was unaware that the change in the attitude of the people in the courtyard towards him stemmed from his own actions.
After he used a lie to deal with Yan Jiecheng, the other party told his family about it that very night.
At first, the Yan family was able to tolerate it and didn't let the news get out.
But this morning, while washing up, the third aunt inadvertently let slip that she had mentioned it.
However, there were quite a few people washing up together in the pool.
There are front yards, middle yards, and back yards.
One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred.
Now almost all the residents in the compound know about his taking out a high-interest loan to buy a job.
I've also heard about the consequences if the debt isn't paid off on time.
These people naturally dared not get close to Li Qin.
They were afraid that Li Qin would ask them for money to pay off his debts.
Even Yi Zhonghai, who had originally hoped to develop Li Qin into a caregiver, gave up on the idea after hearing about this.
Otherwise, given Yi Zhonghai's cunning, he would have approached Li Qin long ago.
Yi Zhonghai was also very clear that if he helped Li Qin at this time, the chances of getting rid of Li Qin would be very high.
However, Yi Zhonghai did not want to take any risks, so he preferred to give up Li Qin.
If you ask Yi Zhonghai to spout grand principles or fallacies, he can do it all, but when it comes to actually putting Yi Zhonghai into action...
That is impossible.
To put it bluntly, Yi Zhonghai is the kind of person who only wants to reap the rewards without putting in any effort.
This is also the truth behind why Li Qin has had emotional energy flowing into his tent since morning.
Although this outcome was within his calculations, he did not expect the Yan family to be so unrestrained.
In just a few days, the news spread.
Li Qin returned to his room, put down his tools, tidied up the room a little, and then left the courtyard house.
He had originally planned to stay in the courtyard house all day.
However, the attitude of the people around him made him unhappy, so he simply decided not to stay any longer.
Li Qin first took the opportunity to enter the space and ate a feast that was unimaginable to ordinary people before leaving the space and returning to the library.
He plans to make the most of his time and read more books about archery.
Only with sufficient theoretical knowledge as a foundation can he forge alchemical bows and arrows of better quality.
Although the library has a large number of books, they cover a wide range of topics, with even fewer books on obscure subjects like archery, in addition to Li Qin's almost scanning reading speed.
In just one morning, he read all the books about archery in the library.
Moreover, in order to create a more perfect bow and arrow, he even read some books on physics and mechanics.
"With my current knowledge, I only need to integrate it a little to create a fairly perfect bow and arrow."
Li Qin stood up from the stool and couldn't help but yawn.
Maintaining a sitting posture for a long time will inevitably make your body feel somewhat uncomfortable.
However, compared to the physical discomfort, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
That is the satisfaction of the mind after acquiring knowledge.
He was even more addicted to it than to physical satisfaction.
Li Qin checked the time and found that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
If he hadn't eaten breakfast so late, he would have felt hungry much earlier.
