The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 327 Asking for information

"It's you……"

Mary immediately became angry and wanted to explode.

But at this moment, Zhao Dongchuan pushed hard with the gun in his hand... which made her wake up immediately. She stopped moving her hands and froze in place.

The burly brown-haired man finally reacted at this moment and was about to pull out his pistol.

"I advise you not to move... otherwise her head will explode..."

Zhao Dongchuan's voice came coldly.

"Let her go..."

"Haha... what you said, you ambushed me here... I beat her to death, that's what she deserves..."

"No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood... We are just waiting for someone here... We have no intention of ambushing..."

"Jones, don't waste your words on him. He is the one who attacked me that night... Just shoot him and kill him..."

"..."

Jones was speechless. At this time, you are still thinking about killing people. Your life is in other people's hands.

"Mary, don't talk nonsense... I told you long ago that man wanted to kill you... You would have been dead long ago... There must be a misunderstanding..."

As he spoke, he winked at Mary.

But Mary ignored it.

"Sir, please forgive her rudeness..."

"Haha... I'm not that easily fooled..."

"I heard you say you've been waiting here for two days... Could it be that you've been waiting here just to tell me it was a misunderstanding?"

Zhao Dongchuan restrained his smile and looked at them coldly.

"Um, dear sir, you misunderstood. We are just waiting for you here. We want to get to know you and make friends with you... We have absolutely no other intentions..."

Jones chuckled and said awkwardly.

"Humph……"

"I don't care what you guys want to do... You're trying to harm me..."

"It's not that easy to let it go..."

Zhao Dongchuan smiled coldly.

"Well, I'm a reasonable person... If she offends me... she needs to pay the price... She looks good, so why don't you stay with me for a few days... and I'll let her go?"

"Don't even think about it...you bastard!"

Before Zhao Dongchuan could continue speaking, Mary started cursing.

"Crack!"

Mary protected her perky breasts with her hands and glared at Zhao Dongchuan with anger on her face.

"You say one sentence and I'll hit you... You can continue speaking..."

"hey-hey……"

Zhao Dongchuan said with a grin, his expression a little vulgar.

Jones chuckled. The situation was stronger than him, so he could only pretend he didn't see it.

"It seems that you don't agree. Then... leave the money for your life!"

"Your name is Jones, right? How much do you think her life is worth?"

"Um, this..."

Jones was a little helpless... He and Mary grew up together... Their parents both died in the natural disaster, leaving them to depend on each other... They had to be saved no matter what!

Thinking of this, he took out a small bag from a large package beside him.

He said to Zhao Dongchuan: "This is our most important gain these days... I give it all to you... I hope you can let her go..."

He said as he opened the bag and spread it out.

There were gold, silver, jewelry, and quite a few gold bars inside.

"Oh, that's good!"

Zhao Dongchuan chuckled.

"Very good...Wrap this bag and throw it over..."

"No, you let her go first..."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhao Dongchuan glanced at Jones.

"You have no other choice now... Hurry up..."

"Well, okay! I hope you keep your word, otherwise I will fight you to the death..."

"The fish will definitely die... the net may not break... don't worry, I won't do anything rash... you were the ones who ambushed me first..."

"Row!"

Jones threw the bag of jewels towards Zhao Dongchuan with all his might.

Zhao Dongchuan held the gun against Mary's head in his right hand and quickly stretched out his left hand to catch the bag of jewelry steadily.

He weighed it in his hand and it was quite heavy... It was worth the trip! Hehe!

"Mary... since your brother has paid the life-saving money... then I will let you go... but before that... you have to give me this thing first..."

Zhao Dongchuan put the bag into the large backpack on his back, and then took out the gun from her waist.

"And you, throw your gun on the ground!"

Jones looked hesitant. Seeing Zhao Dongchuan still staring at Mary's head with the gun, he hesitated for a moment...

"I hope this gentleman can keep his promise..."

In the end, he threw the pistol on the ground not far away.

"it is good!"

"You made the right choice..."

"He loves you very much... He is willing to risk his own life for you... What a deep love between husband and wife..."

Zhao Dongchuan laughed and pushed Mary towards Jones with force.

Jones hurried over and hugged Mary.

"Are you okay?"

Jones asked with concern.

"I, I'm fine..."

Mary's face turned slightly red, not sure if she was angry or embarrassed!

"Okay, okay, stop showing off your affection..."

Zhao Dongchuan also put away his gun and said with a smile.

"There's a saying in China that goes, 'No fight, no friendship.' If you don't mind... let's find a place to have a good chat..."

"If you are afraid... then forget it..."

After saying that, Zhao Dongchuan walked straight towards a building next to him.

It seemed as if he was not worried at all that Mary and Jones would attack him from behind.

Mary and Jones looked at each other, both a little surprised.

"Humph... who's afraid of who!"

Mary made up her mind, picked up the pistol on the ground and followed him.

Jones had no choice but to follow.

…………

"Zizzizi!"

The pork belly in the pan sizzles under the high temperature, giving off an enticing aroma.

Zhao Dongchuan picked up a tong and turned the meat over. At the same time, he picked up a bottle of seasoning and sprinkled some cumin and salt on it...

"Since you have given me so many treasures, I will give you some..."

He took out a small plate from his backpack, put a dozen pieces of pork belly on the plate, and handed it to Jones.

Mary and Jones, who were sitting nearby, couldn't help drooling at the delicious barbecue.

At this time, Mary was no longer sharp-tongued and just kept silent.

"Thank you for your generosity..."

Jones took the plate, swallowed, and handed it back to Mary.

"Mary, you eat first..."

She looked at the barbecue, wondering how to start eating it.

Mary wasn't worried that the meat was poisonous because they had seen Zhao Dongchuan eat several pieces of it before...but she didn't know how to use chopsticks!

"Oh, I forgot to give you forks..."

Zhao Dongchuan took out two forks from his backpack and handed them to the two men.

Mary took the fork and started eating.

She and Jones quickly finished the plate of meat, taking a piece each.

"Really delicious!"

Mary was no longer reserved in front of the delicious food and said happily.

They came here from far away, and the meat was long gone...there was only some dry food, which was really tasteless.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongchuan took a few more pieces from the pot for them...

"This is the last bit... I don't even have anything to eat..."

After saying that, Zhao Dongchuan ignored them and started eating by himself.

……

During the meal, although Zhao Dongchuan and they could not be said to have become close, at least some of their hostility had been reduced, which made it easier for his next move.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Dongchuan is willing to share his beloved barbecue.

"Where did you come from?"

Zhao Dongchuan asked casually.

"Why do you ask this..."

Although Mary was grateful for what she had received, she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Dongchuan.

"Let's chat! I'm isolated from the news here, and I want to hear about the current situation outside..."

"Huh? Have you never left here? How is it possible..."

Jones suddenly exclaimed, as if he had guessed something.

"Well, you are very smart... You got the answer right, but there is no reward..."

Zhao Dongchuan took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"This is incredible. I really don't know how you survived until now... in such horrible weather..."

"Don't worry about that... I'm treating you guys to a barbecue, so you have to tell me about it..."

"Um... everyone knows this, so it's okay to tell you..."

Seeing that Mary was silent with a cold face, Jones had to take over the conversation.

"It's like this. Since the natural disaster, the survivors of the Lighthouse Country have gathered in Mexico and states close to Mexico... We are from New Mexico..."

"The Lighthouse Country government issued a notice, calling on adventurers to enter the Frozen City to explore and search for treasures left behind by humans, and promised that whoever finds it will own it..."

"As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately attracted many adventurers... Many people went to Los Angeles, some went to Denver, and Mary and I went all the way west... We explored all the way and came to New York..."

"That's not right. If you want to explore, there's no need to travel such a long distance to New York..."

Zhao Dongchuan was a little surprised.

New Mexico is close to the Lighthouse State and the Mexican border, which is far away from here...there is absolutely no need for them to do this.

"Well, it's because... there's a rumor that the government lost a large amount of gold here... and New York State is the financial center of the Lighthouse Country... there must be more treasures..."

"There are many people who hold this idea..."

Mary interrupted.
