The intersection of three roads, the road on the left.
Lin Jing and others waited patiently, looking into the distance from time to time.
Ah Miao, who was leaning on Lin Jing, spoke in confusion.
"Why hasn't it come yet after so long?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Logically, it's not that far. We should have arrived earlier."
Lin Jing also frowned.
Just then, a black dot appeared in the distance.
“Here it comes!”
One of the subordinates shouted excitedly.
"Everyone get ready!"
A fanatical smile appeared on Lin Jing's face.
However, just as everyone was looking forward to it, they saw a broken cart, dragging a pile of motorcycle wreckage, bouncing over.
There was an old man sitting in the car.
When the old man saw the checkpoint in front of him and so many guns pointed at him, he immediately raised his hands.
“Mercy!”
Lin Jing rushed forward in rage and grabbed the old man by the neck.
"Where did you get these motorcycles?"
"That's it!"
The old man also pointed backwards with trembling hands.
"Damn it! Chase him!"
Lin Jing simply pushed the old man away, waved his hand and gave orders.
…
On the other side, there is an endless expanse of gravel.
Shen Qiu and Huang Lang have already walked 15 kilometers.
At this time Huang Lang sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, and said to Shen Qiu.
"No, I really can't walk."
"Hurry up, we are not out of danger yet, those guys may come to search at any time."
Shen Qiu frowned and said to Huang Lang.
"No, I really can't get up."
"If you don't get up, I'm going to leave you here alone. You won't have a place to regret it then."
"I don't believe it. Go away! They are targeting you, not me."
Huang Lang looked like a pig that was not afraid of hot water.
"Indeed, I am their target. But if they can't find me, do you think they will kidnap you and torture you to extract a confession?"
Shen Qiu asked playfully.
"Oh, no. Never mind, let's go."
When Huang Lang heard Shen Qiu's words, he was startled and quickly got up from the ground.
The two continued walking forward.
In this way, Shen Qiu and Huang Lang hiked another 5 kilometers.
Huang Lang went on strike again. He lay on the ground like a dead pig.
"I really can't do it anymore. Let them kill me. I won't live any longer."
Shen Qiu was speechless when he saw Huang Lang's behavior. He could tell that this guy had really reached his limit.
He sighed helplessly, then walked up to Huang Lang, squatted down and said.
"Come on up, I'll carry you."
"Really? That's great."
When Huang Lang heard Shen Qiu say this, he quickly got up and lay on Shen Qiu's back.
Shen Qiu picked up Huang Lang and carried him on his back. He frowned slightly. This guy was quite heavy.
"You should lose weight."
"Oh, I don't have time to lose weight. I'm so busy all day."
"Do you have enough time to spend all the money you earn?"
“Having no money is really fatal.”
Huang Lang replied to Shen Qiu.
When Shen Qiu heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he said to Huang Lang.
"I said you are really capable. I have never carried a girlfriend on my back in my life, but the first person I carried on my back turned out to be you."
"This shows that we have a close relationship. Is it important for a woman to have brothers?"
"Don't give me that. Given my situation, charging you one million federal coins per hour is not too much, right?"
"One million? You want to kill me, I'd better come down."
When Huang Lang heard Shen Qiu asking for one million, he felt like his tail was stepped on and was about to struggle down.
"Don't move! Look how scared you are. I'm just teasing you."
Shen Qiu replied unhappily.
"Oh, my ancestors, please don't make such jokes next time. My heart can't stand it."
Huang Lang calmed down only after hearing Shen Qiu's words.
"You are really hopeless. You value money more than your life."
Shen Qiu said helplessly.
"Hey, how far are we from the residential area?"
Huang Lang laughed dryly and changed the subject.
"It's not far, maybe another 8 kilometers at most."
Shen Qiu made a rough calculation and replied.
"Oh, then you carry me for a while, I will walk down by myself."
"Oh? That's strange. You're so sensible?"
"I'm afraid you'll be tired."
Huang Lang laughed dryly. Of course, he was actually afraid that Shen Qiu would lose his fighting ability after carrying him on his back for too long, which would be troublesome.
"Okay!"
Shen Qiu didn't say much.
…
Jinyun residents’ residential area and surrounding open space.
Five short-haired young men wearing old clothes and tattered canvas shoes were excitedly kicking a deflated football.
"Brother Chan, catch the ball!"
A dark-skinned, thin and capable young man kicked the ball to a tall, relatively strong, and bright-eyed young man in front of him.
The man jumped over the blocker, grabbed the ball, and was about to shoot.
Suddenly a familiar voice shouted.
“Brother!”
Zhang Can immediately stopped and turned his head to look over. He saw a girl about twelve years old with a rough face and a ponytail running over.
He then shouted.
"Stop. Stop kicking for now."
At this time, the four companions nearby gathered together and spoke.
"Why is Zhang Xiaomei here?"
…
At this time, the girl ran to Zhang Can and spoke.
"Brother, stop playing football."
"Silly sister, I don't want to play football either! But only by playing this can you have a chance to join a professional team and make a lot of money. You have to trust me, your big brother."
Zhang Can raised his hand and touched his sister's head and explained.
"But there's nothing to eat at home. We can't even afford to eat."
Zhang Xiaomei lowered her head and said to Zhang Can.
After hearing this, Zhang Can felt his pocket, took out two one-dollar coins and handed them to his sister.
"Take this and go buy a pound of mixed noodles first."
Zhang Xiaomei took the coin, looked up and said to Zhang Can.
"Brother, two yuan can't buy a pound of mixed noodles now."
"How much is one pound now?"
"It'll be seven bucks."
"Fuck, are those bastards crazy? The price has tripled in one night, why don't they just go and grab it? I'm going to argue with them."
When Zhang Can heard what his sister said, he was furious.
At this time, the companion next to him hurriedly pulled Zhang Can and persuaded him.
"Brother Can, calm down. Don't be impulsive! The price is this high now. If you argue with them and they don't sell it to us, it will be even worse."
"Brother, don't get into trouble again."
Zhang Xiaomei also followed suit.
Zhang Can gradually calmed down and then said.
"Does anyone have any money? Let's gather some together."
After hearing Zhang Can's words, the four young men present all felt their pockets.
Two of them took money out of their pockets, one took out two dollars and the other took out one dollar.
"That's all, Brother Chan."
Zhang Can took the money and handed it all to Zhang Xiaomei.
"Little sister, take these and go buy as much as you can. Don't worry about the rest, I'll find a way!"
"Okay, brother, remember to go home for dinner."
Zhang Xiaomei nodded sensibly, took the money and left.
