Strongest Worker

Li Qing stared at the four-wheel tractor in front of him and pulled hard at the corners of his mouth: "is this the car you found? Are you kidding me?"

"Isn't this a motor vehicle? I didn't fool you with my bike."

"But I always think... It will break my bones that haven't grown well."

Du Huasheng jumped onto the tractor with a canvas bag and said with a smile, "if you think you are energetic, just trot behind. I find you are recovering very well. You don't even need a crutch."

"Alas." Li Qing raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, so she had to step into the car and pull Xinya up.

Du Huasheng patted the honest man driving the tractor, then huddled in the dirty carriage and covered his face with a straw hat.

When the tractor started "suddenly", Li Qing subconsciously held his waist.

"This is the most distinctive taxi I've ever taken..."

The sun gradually rose, and fine beads of sweat poured out of several people's foreheads.

Li Qing looked at the dense jungle on both sides of the road and softly explained to Xinya, "we can't drive far ahead, we'll get out of lava. Then we'll get off and walk on the mountain road. It's said that the coalition army will have a blockade in front, we may encounter it, and we have to find a way to pass."

Xinya asked anxiously, "is it very dangerous?"

"Well," Li Qing nodded, "it's dangerous, so we should be careful."

Du Huasheng, who always pretended to sleep, suddenly opened his mouth: "I inquired in the town last night, and someone saw Ah Wang."

Li Qing fiercely turned his head and looked surprised: "hmm?"

Du Huasheng pulled off the straw hat covering his face and shook hard: "they passed through Laval and didn't stop. They are still in front of us now. They should have reached dannan."

"Can you be sure it's ah Wang?"

"Eight or nine is inseparable from ten."

"We're going to take the mountain road next, and he doesn't know our purpose..." Li Qing mused. "The probability of meeting should not be too great."

Du Huasheng covered his face with a straw hat: "can't you deal with him now?"

"At least two more days."

"Then let's ask for our own blessings."

The tractor drove forward again and suddenly stopped.

Du Huasheng talked with the car owner for a few words, gestured, and then paid the money to greet Li Qing and them to get off.

"Xinya." he stood on the road, turned his head and stared at the pretty white girl, "the next road is going to get rid of you. Is it all right?"

Xinya opened her mouth and looked a little hesitant.

Du Huasheng tilted his head and asked, "what's the matter?"

"No." Xinya gently spit out this word and move her eyes elsewhere.

In this way, the three of them carried their bags and got into the vast mountains.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and mosquitoes are rampant. When I look up, I see tall trees blocking out the sun, and only thin strands of sunlight fall down, which is really painful.

In such a place, even Li Qing is a little uncertain. Can you really find Lin Mengdie in this vast mountain?

"Xinya, are you sure it's this way?" Du Huasheng scratched the purple red bag bitten by some insect on his arm, looking a little impatient. "It's been so long. Why can't you find any trace? I feel that no one has walked the road under our feet for a long time."

Xinyabei clenched his lips tightly with a trace of panic in his voice: "it seems... It seems to be this way."

Li Qing's heart suddenly sank and couldn't help looking at Du Huasheng.

"I'm tired," he said suddenly. "It's getting dark. Go ahead and see if there's a suitable place to rest."

"The right place?" Du Huasheng looked around and shook his head slowly.

I walked a little further and found a dry high place.

Du Huasheng picked up the small axe he had prepared in advance, cut down several trees, dragged them back and put them on the open space where Li Qing had swept down the weeds, and then covered it with a piece of plastic cloth to make a simple tent.

He pressed the four corners of the plastic cloth with the remaining branches and cursed: "those bastards are all light... Lao duo has prepared a tent for us. Now it's good. It's like this..."

While listening to his continuous complaints, Li Qing prayed silently in his heart. It's bad enough. Don't rain these days.

They gathered together and simply ate something.

Du Huasheng winked at Li Qing, forcing the latter to speak hard.

"Cough." Li Qingqing cleared his throat and looked at the girl with some anxiety around him, "Xinya, do you really know the way?"

Xinya suddenly stagnated.

"Let's be frank." Du Huasheng shook his hand impatiently. "We suspect you're lying. Don't you know the way at all? Have you ever been to dannan? When did you enter this forest?"

Xinyajiao's body trembled fiercely, and tears burst into her eyes: "yes... Sorry..."

Li Qing frowned and asked, "why cheat us?"

"I'm afraid you don't want me. I'm afraid..."

That morning, before going to see Lao duo, Xinya heard that Li Qing and her two mentioned that they wanted to find a place to settle her. Since then, she has been nervous. So that when they were at a loss to find a guide, Xinya had an idea and took the initiative to say that she knew the way, just to let them take themselves, don't leave themselves, and live back to the dark and bad days of the past.

Du Huasheng scolded a dirty word and threw out half a bottle of mineral water in his hand: "just because of this? Is there something wrong with your brain!"

"All right." Li Qing quickly stopped drinking, "we've been prepared for a long time, haven't we? It's no use blaming her. You'd better think about how to solve it."

"Oh, you're a good man again, aren't you?" Du Huasheng sneered. "Li Qing, you'd better find out that you're looking for someone, not me! Don't you think it's funny that we've been fooling around in the woods with such a girl? In my opinion, don't look for anyone. Go back to your house as soon as possible."

"I must find her."

"The question is how do you find it? With your blood alone, can you level this vast virgin forest?"

Li Qingdan held his forehead with his hand, and his voice was heavy and stuffy: "wait, let me think..."

Xinya still had tears on her face and said low, "I'm sorry..."

"All right! Stop talking!" Du Huasheng said angrily. "I wish you really became a mute and wouldn't have so much trouble!"

Xinya bit her lips and cried even harder. But her crystal tears flowed down and couldn't help sobbing, but she still suppressed herself and tried not to cry.

"We can't blame her completely. We had the idea of a dead horse as a living horse doctor before. Even if Xinya doesn't lead the way, we can't find a guide, and it won't be much better than now."

Du Huasheng breathed a sigh of relief: "turn back before you have gone far. Otherwise, if you are trapped in this forest, you will really be a savage."

"I won't go back. I want to go. You go."

Du Huasheng was angry, and one of the Teng boys stood up: "Li Qing, you think I dare not go, don't you? I've done my utmost to send you here!"

Li Qing looked up at him, looking a little tired: "I take back what I just said. Can you eliminate the fire first? Let's sit down and discuss how to deal with the current situation."

"What do you want to do?" Du Huasheng sat down again and put his hands around his shoulders. "My advice to you is to return immediately. If you really want to find Lin Mengdie, think of other ways. You might as well get through the internal relations of the United Army and buy all the prisoners after they exterminate the Kuzhi bandits."

Li Qing grabbed her hair with one hand and shook her head: "I know Mengdie's personality very well. She will never be a prisoner."

"What do you want?"

Li Qing suddenly asked, "have you ever thought about why the rest of the Huang family bandits fled to dannan?"

"I'm not a bandit. How do I know? Maybe they're just desperate."

"Have you ever thought that if their destination is not dannan at all?"

Du Huasheng looked confused: "what do you mean?"

"The bandits are going to the sea. How can they be trapped in the woods?"

The two men looked at each other for a moment without blinking. Du Huasheng suddenly showed the color of Enlightenment: "you mean... Yes, they cut diagonally from dannan and just arrived at pengyou! As long as they can jump out of the blockade of the United Army, they can sail to sea and escape from the sky!"

"Yes, I've been thinking about this question all the way, and I just thought of the answer." Li Qing nodded. "In this way, isn't it easy? We'll catch up with them in the direction to pengyou, sooner or later, and we'll certainly find their trace."

"If we have a direction, it will at least prove that they won't run around in the woods. It doesn't matter which way to go..." Du Huasheng finally showed a smile on his cheek. "Yes, let's try to catch up with Peng you... I heard that a big entertainment / Entertainment City was opened in that place last year, with all kinds of beautiful women. Tut tut... It's a worthwhile trip if we can lead the style."

Li Qing comforted Xinya with good words, which made her gradually stop crying.

"Forget it." Rao, a man like Du Huasheng, also felt a little sorry, and his tone gradually eased down. "I'm a big man. What do you care about with your little girl film? Forget today's business. Let's have a good rest and go tomorrow."

After walking for most of the day, the three people were very tired. They wanted to get into the temporary tent and have a good sleep, but the mosquitoes that kept harassing people always didn't want to sleep.

Li Qing couldn't sleep. She simply got up again and sat alone outside, clutching the picture of Lin Mengdie in her hand. He was stunned for a while. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. Turning his head, he saw that Xinya came slowly.
