Chapter Forty-Nine: Changes on the Way

The road collapse has finally been cleared.

Qiuxi received a call in the early hours of the morning and told the people in Beiting the news as soon as possible, and everyone was very happy and decided to send Li Fuqi to the city overnight.

Li Yiting insisted on escorting him personally, but was stopped by Chen Tianyu.

Chen Tianyu asked him to stay and carefully inspect the scene, after all, he didn't know the structure of the ancestral hall, and it would be terrible if the organ was triggered, and this matter could not be hidden for too long, in case the villagers came to make trouble tomorrow, the scene would definitely be destroyed, and it would be very unfavorable to the investigation work at that time.

Li Yiting knew that the fourth brother was reasonable, but he was still not very reassured, although Li Fuqi was already wearing heavy shackles, would he really be restrained? Even if Li Fuqi came to the ancestral hall, his expression was sluggish and even a little insane, and he did not communicate with other people, but there is a good saying that dogs that do not bark are the best at biting.

Chen Tianyu patiently did a lot of persuasion work, Wan Yongkun also repeatedly promised that there would be no more mistakes, and in the end, Qiu Xi was thoughtful, he thought that he could follow the example of the ancients, tied Li Fuqi with five flowers, and then led the rope by himself and escorted him into the city. This method is ridiculous, but it is thanks to Qiuxi's wit that he can come up with it.

Li Yiting didn't insist, of course he knew which was more important.

Beiting requisitioned Zhang Jin's business car to transport Li Fuqi, and at the same time, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, several thieves were still detained in the school and handed over to the judicial authorities in two batches.

Wan Yongkun patted his chest and said that there was no problem.

The aftermath was thus settled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A commercial vehicle drives down a winding mountain road.

The lights are bright, the drivers are concentrated, one of the passengers is nervous with a rope, and the other looks a little funny.

First, after a dirt road, muddy and bumpy, after driving for nearly ten kilometers, they turned into a slightly flat cement road, which was finally better, and the two of them felt a little relaxed.

There are many traces of landslides along the way, and only one lane has been shoveled away in some cliffs, and it seems that the municipal staff have put a lot of effort into it, and although the road is open, there is still a lot of work left.

"Here, smoke a cigarette. Wan Yongkun didn't turn his head, and took the time to hand over a cigarette to Qiuxi.

Qiuxi shook his head: "I won't." But he still took the cigarette, he knew that Wan Yongkun was relieving his tension.

The car suddenly clicked, braked urgently, and Qiuxi was carried forward by inertia, and the cigarette in his hand flew out.

He exclaimed, "What's wrong?!"

Wan Yongkun smiled bitterly: "It's really damn too back, there is a second landslide here, I'm afraid it won't be able to get by." ”

The winding mountain road in the mountainous area often has a high side foundation, for the sake of financial considerations, generally only the slope drain and the simple road network are fixed, so the landslide is easy to occur in the rainy season, even if it is dredged, the rainstorm stops, and the probability of the secondary collapse is still quite large.

"What then?" said Qiuxi anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll go down and have a look. Wan Yongkun patted the steering wheel angrily, pushed open the door and got out of the car to check, only to see that the cement road four or five meters wide had been filled with loess.

Wan Yongkun walked back stupidly, he didn't get into the car, but opened the side door.

"I can't drive it, the collapse is too bad. He said to Qiuxi.

Qiu Xi was stunned, and said for a long time: "So, we still have to go back the same way?"

Wan Yongkun thought about it, he looked at Li Fuqi again, and Li Fuqi also raised his head blankly and glanced at Wan Yongkun.

"No, Li Fuqi must be sent into the city tonight no matter what. "He's unequivocal.

"Yes...... This road is not halfway yet, can it be that we can walk through it a few times?" Qiuxi is quite familiar with this road, "Then you can't go until dawn, the lights are blind." ”

Wan Yongkun looked up at the sky, today is the tenth day of the first month, the semi-circular moon is hanging high, there is still a little light, it is not a problem to see the road, he groped out a flashlight from the car and shone it.

"It's ok. He said with certainty, "Bring Li Fuqi down, even if we wear out our shoes, we won't be able to go back today." ”

Qiuxi nodded and helped Li Fuqi get out of the car, Li Fuqi stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Qiu Xi frowned, and said helplessly: "Tied up like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave at all." ”

"Untie your shackles. Wan Yongkun said.

Qiu Xi bowed his head, he knew Wan Yongkun's skills, so he was not worried that Li Fuqi would dare to run.

After he untied Li Fuqi's shackles, he found that Li Fuqi was still unable to move, so he had to untie the ropes that bound his legs a little more, so that he could barely walk, Qiu Xi thought about it, and lifted Li Fuqi's rope to his waist again, but put the shackles back on.

"Let's go. Qiuxi took the rope and said loudly.

Wan Yongkun restarted, parked the business car in the corner of the pull, and locked the door.

"Let's go. ”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The three of them lined up in a line, Wan Yongkun explored the road in front, Li Fuqi walked in the middle, and Qiuxi Hall was behind.

Several people walked forward with difficulty with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the loess was knees several times, but it did not stop their progress, Wan Yongkun was iron-hearted this time.

After walking for about half a mile and turning over several landslides in a row, Li Fuqi couldn't bear it at first, he stopped and gasped for breath, his face pale.

Qiu Xi was helpless and motioned for Wan Yongkun to stop and rest for a while.

Wan Yongkun looked around, listening to the rumbling sound from under the highway, he was a little curious, so he looked down, it turned out that there was a river under the highway, and the rumbling sound was made by the flow of the river.

He secretly said that the roads in this mountain area are really dangerous.

"Rest for five minutes and then keep going. He was also a little tired, and when he heard this, he sat on the side of the road, buried his head in smoking, and the fire was extinguished, reflecting his solemn face.

Qiuxi handed the rope to his left hand and wiped his sweat with his right hand, his physical strength was not as good as Wan Yongkun, so he was naturally even more tired, and after sitting on the side of the road for a while, he actually took a nap.

The rope in his hand tightened, but it did not arouse Qiuxi's alarm, he looked up, found nothing unusual, and lowered his head again.

Suddenly-

Qiuxi's hand was empty, and the rope was unexpectedly free.

He was startled, but it was too late to stop him, only to see a figure suddenly lose his footing and roll down the hillside, it was Li Fuqi.

"Brother Kun, it's not good!" Qiu Xi shouted.

Wan Yongkun also apparently found Li Fuqi rolling down into the river, he was shocked, and followed Li Fuqi down with a rolling belt, he tried to pull the rope, but he couldn't keep up at all.

With a "bang", the heavy object fell into the turbulent river, and Wan Yongkun was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Wan Yongkun's eyes were quick, and in a panic, he reached out and grabbed a small tree on the side of the road, so he didn't fall into the river with Li Fuqi.

Qiu Xi rushed over panting, and pulled Wan Yongkun up with his hands and feet.

"Brother Kun, are you alright?" he asked anxiously.

Wan Yongkun climbed onto the road with a dusty face, shook his head dejectedly, and didn't speak for a long time.

"It's over now......" Wan Yongkun muttered to himself, "It's over now......"

Qiu Xi hurriedly said: "Brother Kun, don't worry. Li Fuqi: This can't be a suicide in fear of sin, right?"

Wan Yongkun suddenly calmed down, he nodded, remembering that Li Fuqi tried to commit suicide with a short arrow in the ancestral hall, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to report the situation to Beiting.

"Beep, beep......" The phone was dialed, but it couldn't talk, and the connection was disconnected one after another.

The signal in the mountains is not good, let alone this remote road.

"Qiuxi, you rush back to report the news now, can you drive?" Wan Yongkun asked.

"Yes, but not very technically. Qiuxi nodded.

He said suspiciously, "What about you, don't you go back together?"

Wan Yongkun said firmly: "I'll stay and look for it again, maybe Li Fuqi is still alive." ”

"It's unlikely......" Qiuxi hesitated, but still stood up, "Okay, you have to pay attention to your own safety, I'll drive the car to a place where there is a signal and come back to pick you up immediately." ”

"Okay, go and get back quickly. Wan Yongkun didn't talk much nonsense, he slowly tried to go down the cliff, and it seemed that he could also go down to the river at the bottom of the cliff.

Qiu Xi stood on it and looked at it for a long time, and saw that Wan Yongkun was walking firmly, and there was not much danger, so he sighed lightly and turned to leave.
