Four military vehicles came galloping from afar and stopped in front of Qi Lu.
With a loud shout: "Get out of the car" Dozens of sturdy men in camouflage uniforms pushed the car door and deftly jumped out of the car.
At this time, there was a sudden strong wind, and the worst thing was that the dust rolled up in the wind was mixed in, so that Qi Lu had to squint his eyes and look at these strangers.
"How about it, are you still satisfied with these people I picked" Yang Peng, who finally got out of the car, walked to Qi Lu's side and asked him with a smile.
"Well, they look like they're all battle-hardened people."
Sure enough, Qian Nengshen, Qi Lu didn't expect Yang Peng to find sixteen local armed young men to accompany him to Guta Village.
Now he became full of confidence again, with so many people serving him and Ding Xiaolan as bodyguards, why can't he reach that broken village safely These men were carrying the goods and weapons necessary for the journey into the carriages.
Qi Lu looked at the departing town with a little emotion, and secretly prayed that his task of delivering the wooden box this time could be successfully completed.
"Excuse me, are you Mr.
Qi?"
Qi Lu looked at the speaker, and a young man with a short and strong stature and dark skin stood straight in front of him, his expression revealing a kind of confidence and perseverance.
Qi Lu asked, "Who are you?"
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, let me introduce you, this guy is a Shan man named Sailei, and he is your guide to Guta Village." ” "Please take care of me" Qi Lu smiled and stretched out his right hand to Sailei, the two of them held hands together, Qi Lu felt that he was a person with a lot of strength.
The others were still busy, so Qi Lu chatted with Sai Lei and learned about his personality by the way.
During the conversation, Qi Lu found that Sai Lei could speak fluent Chinese, and it could be seen that this dark-skinned young man liked the excitement of life, and he showed off his scarred chest to Qi Lu from time to time, saying that he had participated in many battles between the local armed forces and the government army, and was a brave soldier.
"Why didn't that God of Wealth come" Taking the opportunity to take the cigarette handed over by Yang Peng, Qi Lu asked quietly.
"These gods like to keep their mystery in front of mortals, how can he come and see you off on such occasions."
"Then he's too unrighteous."
Qi Lu grinned and said, "If I die halfway this time, he will be fully responsible." ” Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then heard that he was joking, so he responded with a smile and in a low voice: "Can you be chosen by the gods, will you be so bad?"
Both laughed.
Sele was confused and thought that the two bosses were talking in code.
After saying goodbye to Yang Peng, Qi Lu and his party drove off.
The jeep convoy roared through the empty downtown area into the unknown distance.
I passed a lot of roadblocks along the way, and relying on Sailei's dots, except for the occasional knock off the bamboo pole, I basically didn't encounter any major trouble.
Some of the robbers who were scattered wanted to block the road and rob, but when they saw the convoy fully armed, they had already retreated.
Overall, the journey was tedious, but peaceful.
But this calm was finally broken in the afternoon of the next day, when the convoy was on the way, suddenly the first car in front of the road stopped, Qi Lu felt a little strange, so he got out of the car to see what was going on.
At this time, Sailei, who was leading the way at the front, almost jumped out of the car door and ran over, rushed straight to Qi Lu's car and said, "Mr.
Qi, there is trouble." ” "Why did the car stop?"
Sele said with a pale face, "I hit someone." ” "What" Qi Lu hurriedly ran to the front and saw a middle-aged man in his forties lying in the middle of the road, he hurriedly squatted down, preparing to give him artificial first aid, but found that he had swallowed his breath.
"How did you drive the car," Qi Lu said angrily.
"You can't blame me for that."
Sai Lei said angrily: "My car was not driving fast, this guy suddenly ran from diagonally in front and hit my car, I desperately honked the horn and braked urgently, but I still didn't have time to avoid it." ” Ding Xiaolan took off her sunglasses and said: "Pedestrians will automatically avoid vehicles when they see them, who will stand on the road and wait for the dead, even if they want to touch porcelain, they will not lose their lives."
"It's really not Sailei's fault."
Qi Lu pointed to the windshield of the vehicle that was hit and said, "If the deceased had stood still, the glass would not have been so badly damaged." ” Ding Xiaolan was silent, and the glass shattered into a spider web, which could only be caused by the collision of two high-speed objects to cause such serious consequences.
Sele examined the corpse closely, unable to find anything from it that would prove its identity.
Qi Lu seemed to be very interested in its hands, and actually looked at it over and over for a long time, and finally he beckoned his fellow Kokang companions on the side to move the corpse to a different position.
"What should we do with this deceased, do we need to call the police?"
asked Ding Xiaolan.
Saile said: "Call the police, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, and when the police come, it will be dark."
Besides, if the police are really coming, we have to go to the police station to record a statement or something, wouldn't it delay the trip?"
"So what do you say?"
"You don't care about this, I'll take care of it."
Beckoning some of his companions to lift the body up and throw it into the field by the roadside, he said to the people, "Let it go, everyone." ” "How can you do this" Ding Xiaolan scolded, feeling that they were too disrespectful to the dead.
Sai Lei said coldly: "Otherwise, Miss Da will stay here alone and wait for the police to come, we will go on the road first."

"Forget it, let's go."
Qi Lu came up and gently took Ding Xiaolan's hand.
Ding Xiaolan frowned, she broke away from Qi Lu's hand vigorously, turned around and ran to the field, and put all the money on her body into the corpse's underwear pocket.
The car continued to move forward, and the driver turned his head and said to Ding Xiaolan in an unskilled Yunnan dialect: "Girl, I know you are kind."
But the family of the deceased can't get the money you have, and the police will put the money in their pockets before the family identifies the body. ” "I'm willing to do it," Ding Xiaolan replied angrily.
Qi Lu saw that the anger on Ding Xiaolan's face was still gone, and he knew that she was still angry with everyone, but Qi Lu didn't know what to say, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it, silently looking at the scenery passing by outside the window.
The driver was right, in this land, officials were corrupt and the common people lived in poverty, so they had to live on opium cultivation.
Ding Xiaolan, a girl who grew up in a city in China, could not understand the attitude of a young man like Sailei, who had grown up in the midst of war, towards life, and certainly could not agree with Sailei's treatment of the nameless corpse.
It was getting dark, and the rain was falling on the car window, blurring the horizon of the road.
The driver turned on the windshield wipers and said to Qi Lu: "It may not be easy to walk on the road when it rains, and it may take tonight to find a place to rest." ” Qi Lu nodded silently, closed his eyes, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took a while for the chaotic emotions to calm down.
Although he didn't blame Selei on the surface, the face of the dead man kept coming to his mind.
When the rain stopped at dusk and they arrived at a small town, Sele got out of the car and said, "Rest for the night, for tomorrow there will be no car to sit on." ” Ding Xiaolan whispered: "I don't know if the deceased has someone to collect the body" "Don't think too much, there are some things we can't control."
Qi Lu looked at the endless mountains in front of him and said, "It seems that we are going to walk the mountain road tomorrow." ” After speaking, Qi Lu took out the map given to him by Tang Fangbiao from his arms and looked at it, Sai Lei stepped forward and pointed to the map and said, "We have to climb over two high mountains, and then pass through a forest, and we will reach Guta Village." ” "Ah" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "I have to go this long way" Qi Lu said: "I still say the same thing, if you regret it, you still have time to go back to China." ” "Hmph, don't underestimate me."
Qi Lu looked at her pair of high heels and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to retreat, then beauty, the first thing you have to do now is to change into a pair of hiking shoes." ” In the blink of an eye, it was another day, Qi Lu and they were walking in the mountains and forests, the surrounding trees stretching endlessly above their heads, and only a little bit of sunlight could penetrate through the gaps in the branches and leaves that covered the sky, as if people were in a primitive world isolated from civilization.
Qi Lu and Sai Lei walked in front, and they were diligently waving the long knives in their hands to cut down the plants that stood in the way, and opened a passable path for those behind.
Ding Xiaolan began to regret it a little, because walking in this primitive mountain forest was not an easy task.
The grass was full of disease-spreading insects, and the ground was littered with slippery, soft mud and rotting wood under the damp layer of decaying leaves, and she had fallen several times, and her arms were bruised and swollen.
And the mice and snakes that pop up along the road from time to time can also scare her into discoloration.
Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a little heartache when he saw Ding Xiaolan's embarrassed appearance, so he cut down a small tree with a knife, removed the branches on it, and then flattened it a little and gave it to Ding Xiaolan to use as a crutch, so that she could not walk so hard.
"Thank you, this trip was really disappointing."
Ding Xiaolan said stubbornly: "But don't worry, I will never hold you back." ” "You're already great" Qi Lu stopped talking suddenly, and quickly turned his head towards a bush, where something seemed to flash and then quickly disappeared.
Qi Lu couldn't help but glance at the guide Sai Lei who was walking in front of him in surprise, and wanted to ask Sai Lei to stop and go with him to check, but the team was in a hurry, and no one paid attention to the bushes.
Qi Lu secretly laughed to himself, thinking that it was just his own illusion just now, maybe it was just the reflection of a certain stone.
So he hurried forward again and continued to cut down the obstructive plants on both sides of the road.
Not long after the team passed, the branches of the bushes were carefully removed, and a dark yellow face was spying on the backs of Qi Lu and the others.
He watched them turn a corner and disappear behind countless towering trees before he quietly left. i0 t1706231537:
