Chapter 241 Lao Dai
Two days passed quickly, but the festive atmosphere did not decrease as time went by. Instead, with more and more people joining, the atmosphere became more lively than before.
Since it is more lively, it means that the festival requires more things, and the most obvious thing is the Xiaolan. The Xiaolan and the Mingxiao lamp symbolize the entire Sea Lantern Festival. The Mingxiao lamp is the finale of the Sea Lantern Festival, but the Xiaolan can be released at any time, so the demand and supply of Xiaolan have reached an amazing level.
Liyue's mineral resources are extremely popular recently, because most of the minerals are used to make skylights. If this continues, Liyue Qixing may have to consider letting workers go to the giant abyss of rock formations to collect minerals.
Of course, this is just a joke. The giant rock abyss has been closed now, unless a person with extremely high power like Liyue Seven Star can enter and exit it. Moreover, the environment inside the giant rock abyss is different from that outside. It may be because it is affected by the elemental veins, and ordinary people cannot stay in it for too long.
Unless it is the holder of the Eye of God, no one dares to go inside the giant rock abyss.
In fact, Lin Yan didn't know why the giant rock abyss was closed, because he hadn't learned much about it, and it might be that the fooling did not give any clues at all.
In short, judging from the current situation, the giant rock abyss will not be able to reopen in the next few years or even decades. Perhaps only Liyue Qixing knows what happened in the giant rock abyss in the past.
......
On this day, Lin Yan woke up as usual. Maybe the weather was getting colder, so he had the habit of staying in bed, or the low temperature outside the quilt made him dare not move at all.
It was already winter, but Youla would turn on the air conditioner every night, and it would be all night long, which made Lin Yan catch a cold two or three times within half a month.
There is no way, who can let the air conditioner holder on Youla? If you sleep in a separate room with Youla, Lin Yan would definitely not be happy.
So he simply changed the quilt to an extremely thick quilt and wore a sweater when he was sleeping, so that he could barely resist the cold.
As for Youla... I won't say whether she is covered with a summer quilt. The clothes she wears at night are also summer pajamas. I really don't know why she has such a physique, but it's really worth mentioning that she is pleasing to the eye.
Originally, Lin Yan planned to take a day off today, and he was wandering around with Xiaobai these two days, but he was so tired.
However, just as he was about to get up to make breakfast, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the house.
No need to think about it, someone must have come to him for help again.
So Lin Yan changed into the clothes he usually wore, and then walked over and opened the door.
After opening the door, he found a middle-aged man standing outside. Strangely, he was not wearing the clothes of the General Affairs Office or Qian Yanjun, but rather like a worker.
Even the workers came to ask him for help, Lin Yan was getting further and further on the road of not meddling in other people's business.
Forget it, let's listen to what the other party said. If something really happens, he doesn't mind helping.
"You are Mr. Lin Yan, are you?" The other party immediately introduced himself after seeing the door being opened, "My name is Lao Dai, and he is a worker."
"Old Dai, tell me, what's wrong with you coming to me?"
Lin Yan's words directly dispelled the idea of Lao Dai's first greetings. Since the other party has asked questions, he should just express his purpose directly.
"This is the thing. Some time ago, I and a few workers mined minerals in the mining area in Lisha Suburbs. Because the number of skylights required for the Sea Light Festival is too large, our workload this time is much higher than before, but the wages are twice as high as before, so we have no complaints."
"But, just six days ago, I took a few workers out for business, but as soon as I came back, I heard that the four left-behind brothers were gone. I led people to search the entire mining area, but I couldn't find them. I really had no idea, so I could only go to the General Affairs Department to find someone to help."
"But the people from the General Affairs Department said that recently, because there were too many people from outside the country who were entering and leaving Liyue, most of the people were transferred to patrol and could not help me deal with this matter. So, I thought about going to the Adventurers Association to find someone to help, but the people from the General Affairs Department asked me to come to you."
"I really can't do anything about it. Those four brothers have been with me for so many years. As the big brother, I can't just ignore them. As long as Mr. Lin Yan, you can agree to my request, I promise that you will definitely be rewarded with a valuable reward at that time."
Lao Dai gave Lin Yan a general process. Lin Yan didn't feel anything after listening. It was just that a few workers disappeared. Who knows if they were attacked by monsters, or went on strike and sneaked away.
But, Lin Yan really couldn't find a reason to reject him. If he was just an ordinary person, he could choose to refuse directly. But now he is a hero that is known to all Liyue, even children. Can he refuse others at will? Of course not.
At this time, a slightly tender voice suddenly came from behind Lin Yan.
"Master, is it time for breakfast?" Turning around, Xiaobai was walking towards this side with his sleepy eyes rubbing his sleepy eyes.
When Xiaobai saw Lao Dai outside the door, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, are you going out to play? Can you take me one?"
After so long contact, Xiaobai learned one thing, that is, when a guest at home comes to find Lin Yan, he will definitely go out. Whenever Lin Yan wants to go out, Xiaobai will make a request with him.
This kind of thing happens occasionally once or twice a month. Lin Yan did not refuse Xiaobai's request in most cases, so the same is true this time.
So in this way, Lin Yan agreed to Lao Dai's request in a daze.
......
After the matter was settled, Lin Yan first took Xiaobai out for breakfast. Before he left the house, he left a note for Youla so that she could know what he and Xiaobai were doing.
Lao Dai made an appointment to meet them at the entrance behind Liyue Port, and the entrance behind Liyue Port is the avenue connecting the Golden House. Because the avenue is surrounded by mountains and fields, few people would enter and exit Liyue Port from there.
Moreover, what else did Lao Dai say? Because this incident happened in the mining area, he had to find a helper who knew how to do it. Who knew if that helper was a liar in the world?
In Lin Yan's opinion, Liyue could not find a second person who knew stones except Zhongli. There may be, but it is definitely not as good as Zhongli. After all,... the title of Zhongli's God of Rock can be regarded as the rock itself.
However, because Lin Yan was also the helper that Lao Dai asked, he couldn't say anything, just hope that the helper was not a guy who was as annoying as Xiao Que'er.
After breakfast, Lin Yan took Xiaobai to the entrance behind Liyue Port. Along the way, Xiaobai seemed very excited, maybe because he was going out to play.
