Strongest Worker

The sky is bright.

Du Huasheng dug a hole in the yard and buried the hotel owner's family. He went out and bought some food at a small shop on the corner and put it in a black plastic pocket.

While checking out, he chatted with the middle-aged man selling things behind the counter for a while, and his face gradually darkened.

After receiving the change, Du Huasheng waved goodbye and returned to the small hotel with his things. Of course, after a night of burning, the house was only broken walls, still with the scorched black wood of Mars, curling smoke, and even a thick layer of black ash fell on the grape trellis in the yard.

After lying on the wet and cold ground all night, Li Qing can now sit up. Xinya squatted aside and was carefully feeding him water.

"Any more?"

"No." Li Qing shook her head pale. Suddenly she saw the girl's dark and beautiful face and couldn't help raising her hand and pinching, "you have become a little flower cat."

Xinya blushed slightly, but the corners of her lips could not help but tilt up slightly.

"Cough." Du Huasheng walked in and walked around Li Qing twice, saying, "it's incredible. Are you a monster? I've dug an extra pit to bury you this morning."

"Give me the food. I'm hungry." Li Qing grabbed the plastic bag in his hand, opened it and glanced, "what's the matter? Only biscuits? How long has it expired?"

"And cigarettes." Du Huasheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and slowly spit out a circle under his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "what the hell are you? Your spine has been broken and can grow well overnight? It's much stronger than Zhao Zhen. No wonder some people say you can't kill... Our physical qualities are unusual, but there's nothing to your extent..."

"Not fully recovered. I guess it will take a week. Now it's very fragile." Li Qing carefully moved her arm and frowned slightly. "And I don't think it's right. Are you sure you didn't connect me with a crooked bone?"

"Your spine hasn't been completely broken, so you can't get it crooked." Du Huasheng took another sip of smoke and looked at the burned house. "It's pathetic. It's so clean that there's no one to put out the fire. I inquired when I was shopping. Xinya didn't see it wrong. It's the case that we met the group of mountain thieves yesterday."

"Why?" Li Qing asked in a deep voice, "is it because of us?"

"No, we're just a coincidence. That's why Xinya can escape." Du Huasheng shook his head, "The people in the shop said that a man came to the hotel a few days ago. He mixed food and drink and flirted with the landlady. The landlady cut his finger and beat him out. The man fooled around in the gang and came back for revenge this time. The people in the town knew it well, so they didn't dare to put out the fire."

Li Qing sighed, "we still hurt the family."

Du Huasheng frowned: "did you listen to me? I told you. We just happened to live here. The goods mountain bandits didn't come for us..."

"I mean, if I met them yesterday, I would have done it more simply and killed more people, it wouldn't have happened last night."

Du Huasheng blinked his eyes and immediately sneered: "I don't know what you think... The logic is moving... You'd better kill everyone you see in the future. Maybe he will do a case in ten or twenty years, all because of your original thought difference."

Li Qing didn't want to discuss it. Instead, he asked, "what about the local police? Don't you take care of it?"

"You'd better think that kind of thing doesn't exist. It's not Huaxia or Darussalam." Du Huasheng stretched his waist and scolded angrily, "what a bad luck. The car and Lao duo's prepared things have been robbed. What's the next way? Fortunately, I brought the money with me, otherwise you can't even eat dry mouth now."

Li Qing said, "those mountain bandits know it's our car. Will they come back for revenge?"

"There is little hope. A group of bullies... Dare to come back? I guess not."

The broken yard fell into a silence. Xinya bit the biscuit in her small mouth and chewed it gently.

"We have to find them." Li Qing suddenly said, "it's still the second thing to get back. It's too oppressive. Moreover, these people are wandering in the mountains all year round. I also want to ask if they know the whereabouts of Mengdie."

Du Huasheng looked at him up and down: "you virtue... Can you move?"

"It should be no problem to rest until the afternoon. You're idle anyway. You might as well walk around the town and try to find out some news."

"Let me try." Du Huasheng stamped out the cigarette butt, shrugged his shoulders and said.

After this particularly humble breakfast, Du Huasheng wandered around the town, leaving Li Qing and Xinya in the yard.

The sun is getting hotter and hotter.

Li Qing rested in the shade under the grapevine and stared at Xinya squatting by the well to wash her face and comb her hair.

"Girls love to be clean after all," he thought, and a gentle smile could not help but appear on his cheek.

Aware of the eyes behind him, Xinya gently twisted her small head and her pretty face had a fever.

Li Qing quickly moved away his eyes, pointed to the clothes hanging on the shelf and said, "did the clothes you hung yesterday dry? There was some ash, but fortunately it was not burned by the fire."

"HMM." Xinya whispered and took off her clothes after grooming.

She stood in the yard at a loss and suddenly pursed her small mouth and asked, "I... can I change my clothes?"

"Ah? Of course." Li Qing pointed to the grape rack behind him. "You come here to change it. I close my eyes and promise not to peek."

Xinya put her chin against her bulging chest and walked around behind him with small broken steps.

Li Qing slowly closed his eyes and listened to the sparse sound of changing clothes behind him. There was a surge of emotion under his heart.

"What a beast..." he scolded in his heart, "other girls are not adults. What do you think..."

After a while, Xinya, who changed her clothes, came out and said softly, "OK."

"Oh." Li Qing opened her eyes and saw that the girl stretched out her little hand to herself and pointed to the dirty clothes on her body.

"Take it off and I'll wash it together." she still didn't dare to look straight at it. She still muttered with her small head down. "The sun is good, and it'll be dry in a minute."

"Thank you." Li Qing didn't refuse and slowly took off his coat and handed it over.

Xinya took over, turned and trotted to the well platform, and the steps seemed to be happy.

Du Huasheng came back from the outside with a trunk cut from the road in his hand.

"Disabled, here's your crutch." he handed the thumb thick branch to Li Qing, turned around, forked his waist and tilted his head, "Gee, Xinya is washing your clothes?"

"Yes." Li Qing smiled and nodded, "it feels like there is a little nanny around."

"Such a beautiful baby sitter? You can really enjoy it." Du Huasheng said and wanted to take off his coat. "Xinya, wash it for me and dry it in a moment."

Xinya suddenly stood up and looked frightened: "I... I only wash clothes for men..."

"Ah? I offended you?" Du Huasheng glared and stretched out his hand to point to himself. "Look, am I not a man?"

Xinya shook her head, blushed and hesitated: "I... I only wash clothes for... My own men..."

Du Huasheng opened his mouth and turned to look at Li Qing, who was also confused.

"Oh, OK, wash clothes for your own man. I don't need you anymore. Little girl film, the thought is quite old..." he leaned aside and sat down, as if unwilling. "Li Qing, you have a good relationship with women, and even the underage girl has been kidnapped? I always think I'm more handsome than you. How can I be natural and unrestrained?"

Li Qingsi ridiculed without losing the wind: "maybe you are as handsome as a woman."

"Hey." Du Huasheng suddenly bumped his shoulder and raised his chin at the girl beside the well platform. "Xinya is really good. She's clever and doesn't talk much. You might as well ask her for it."

"You're crazy?" Li Qing scolded angrily. "How old is she? She's not an adult."

"How old? Sixteen or seventeen, but it's not small. In Southeast Asia, there are many people married at the age of twelve. She's an old girl in the countryside." Du Huasheng winked at him, "what are you afraid of? Do as the Romans do in Rome."

"I find that when you talk about this kind of thing, you get refreshed in an instant."

Du Huasheng lit another cigarette and said with a smile, "you know what I like best here?"

"What?"

"Polygamy." Du Huasheng shook his head. "Although it is stipulated that a man can marry up to four wives, that is to say, it's good to keep several women in private as long as you can afford it. Have you found this wild beauty? Capable males can occupy more reproductive rights and ensure the inheritance of good genes."

Li Qing frowned: "what beauty?"

Du Huasheng said solemnly, "wild beauty. Long ago, women's productivity was low and it was difficult to support themselves. Therefore, it is both preferential treatment and social responsibility for men to support more women. Do you understand?"

"You said it was a long time ago..."

"Yes." Du Huasheng nodded quickly and directly interrupted him, "that's why I like it here. It's very primitive and there are not many routines."

Li Qing stopped talking, but a string under his heart was indeed touched.

"Hey! Why are you stunned? Hahaha, you shouldn't be moved?" Du Huasheng suddenly patted him and shouted at Xinya, "Xinya! Would you like to be his little wife? Hahaha, think about it."

Xinya didn't say a word, but blushed, as if she wanted to plunge her small head into the soil.
