Fang Weiqing consulted Zhao Lifan and Cheng Lu's opinions, and after asking for instructions, he sent someone to send the two to Borama Airport, not far from the barracks, the day after they arrived at the barracks, and Zhao Lifan and Cheng Lu flew directly to Draegleva in Ethiopia, which is much closer to the Meco copper mine than the capital Yasbarbes.

After arriving at Dragreva, Jiang Hongxi had already sent someone to wait for them at the airport, and the two did not encounter any other trouble after getting in the car, and went directly to the Meike Copper Mine, looking at the Chinese characters on the office building of the Meike Copper Mine, Zhao Lifan couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"It's finally here!"

After Zhao Lifan and Cheng Lu arrived at the Meike Coal Mine, the mine manager and chief engineer Lu Yuan came out to greet him in person, Zhao Lifan knew that they were here to greet Cheng Lu, so he consciously took a step back to the side, looked around, he was looking for someone from their security company, Dong Weiguo told him that it was Shi Dayou who led the team here, and he was also a comrade-in-arms with his sister-in-law, and he had seen him several times.

Just as Zhao Lifan was looking for Shi Da, a little girl in Lu Yuan's hand shook off his hand and ran towards Cheng Lu and them, shouting as she ran:

"Mommy!"

Cheng Lu looked at her daughter who ran over, and immediately squatted down and hugged her in her arms, muttering in her mouth:

"Yaoyao, I miss my mother, Yaoyao~"

As he spoke, he kissed his daughter the forehead, and tears couldn't help but flow.

"Mom doesn't cry, I think when Mom cries, Dad and Aunt Su Hong will tell Yaoyao stories, and Dad will also tell Mom later. ”

Lu Yao was like a little adult, wiping the tears on Cheng Lu's face with her little hands, and said matter-of-factly.

"Who is Su Hong?"

When Cheng Lu heard her daughter's words, she was puzzled, and looked up at Lu Yuan, only to see a woman standing behind him, seeing Cheng Lu looking at them, the woman took a step forward, grabbed Lu Yuan's arm, and straightened her chest, as if announcing something.

"Phew, dog man and woman, you have to ask me to come. ”

Cheng Lu scolded in his heart, but after thinking about it, he and Lu Yuan have been divorced for a few years, and it is normal for people to find another one.

When Zhao Lifan was watching Cheng Lu's mother-daughter reunion, someone behind him patted his shoulder, turned his head and looked at Shi Dayou, who he hadn't seen just now, Zhao Lifan shouted:

"Brother Shi!"

Shi Dayou also held Zhao Lifan's hand and said with a smile:

"You kid is good, you have a long face for our company, and then you can rest assured, Hanmei has instructed me several times to take good care of you, otherwise that overlord flower will tear me down." ”

"How can I have a face, I almost can't come back, Brother Shi, if you have anything, just arrange me. Zhao Lifan said humbly.

"You kid! It's still like this, you don't look like a martial artist at all. Being able to bring a big living person out of the war-torn zone is the biggest long face, Eagle (Dong Weiguo) has already said, when you go back and write out your experience, he will use it as a classic case to train students, don't talk about this, go! The team has prepared a reception banquet for you, let's go over now. ”

Shi Dayou pointed at Zhao Lifan and scolded with a smile, and then said hello to the mine manager and chief engineer, they didn't take Zhao Lifan seriously, they were just a security guard, just a few polite words to Shi Dayou, Zhao Lifan also said to Cheng Lu, and left with Shi Dayou.

On the way, Shi Dayou was afraid that Zhao Lifan would be unhappy because the mine manager ignored him, and said:

"Lifan, we have a cooperative relationship with the mine, they contribute money and we contribute, don't care about their attitude, as long as you do your job well, they can't control us. ”

"Brother Shi, I'm fine, I used to work as a technician in a coal mine, let alone talking to the mine manager, it's very difficult to meet each other, so I care about this. ”

Zhao Lifan said to Shi Dayou with a smile, although he was a little surprised when he saw Cheng Lu being courteous and he was left out in the cold, he could understand it when he thought about it.

"If you want to, you have to have a few drinks in the evening to keep yourself out. Shi Dayou said that seeing that Zhao Lifan didn't have any ideas, his evaluation of him was much higher.

Shi Dayou first brought Zhao Lifan to the dormitory, because the dormitory of the copper mine was relatively tight, so the four of them had a dormitory, Shi Dayou told him that if he was not used to living, he could go to the nearby town of Mekofil to rent a house to live, where the rent was very cheap, but it was not as convenient as living in the mine, after all, the town was still three or four kilometers away from here, and there were often thefts among tenants in the town.

When Zhao Lifan heard that he could rent a room outside, he decided to go outside in two days to see if there was a suitable one, and rent a house to live in, which would be good for his divine sense and internal cultivation, unlike the dormitory where he had to sneak around.

Zhao Lifan actually didn't have any luggage, just a backpack and a sword, the rest was lost, he put the backpack in his cabinet and took a shower, he hadn't taken a shower for almost twenty days, and he felt that he stinked. Just after washing, Shi Dayou came to Zhao Lifan again, and they came to the private room of the canteen together.

Here Zhao Lifan saw an old man, that is, Jiang Danian, who used to work as a security guard in Xinghui Building, and the two met again in a foreign country, both of them were emotional, Zhao Lifan knew the situation at Jiang Danian's family, his wife was not in good health, and he couldn't do without people, so he felt quite strange that he was here.

After Jiang Danian's general narration, Zhao Lifan learned that his eldest son had graduated and returned to his hometown, and he had taken the local civil service examination and could take care of his mother.

At that time, the team on the side of Meike Copper Mine was selected by Dong Weiguo from the two departments of the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Security Consultants, Jiang Danian was old and did not meet the conditions, but the salary abroad was very high, Jiang Danian still had a daughter studying, and his son was not married, and the house needed to be purchased, and he needed money, so he personally found Dong Weiguo and won a place.

Zhao Lifan asked Jiang Danian how his stomach disease was, he hadn't given Jiang Danian much acupuncture conditioning since he was Liu Shiling's bodyguard, and only prescribed him a prescription and asked him to take the medicine according to the prescription, if he took the medicine according to his own requirements, he should not suffer from the pain anymore.

Jiang Danian said that he has been taking medicine according to the prescription, and now as long as he does not eat irritating food continuously, his stomach will not hurt. At the banquet, Shi Dayou pulled Zhao Lifan to introduce them one by one, some of these people Zhao Lifan knew, but most of them were very faceless. These dozen or so people are all retired soldiers with bold personalities, and Zhao Lifan also follows the customs of the locals, clinking glasses one by one, and really drinking a lot.

In fact, there are nearly 40 security guards in the coal mine, except for Zhao Lifan and more than a dozen of them, the others are locals, they are mainly responsible for daily security training and patrol in shifts, Zhao Lifan because he has not received military training, only some simple training, so he is only patrolling, no training tasks.

It is worth mentioning that the security guards on the side of the Meike Copper Mine must be filed with the local government, because they are all real guns and live ammunition, but they don't have to worry about the record, there is a special department in charge of the mine, and Zhao Lifan has also been assigned a pistol and a number of bullets, as well as semi-automatic rifles, but usually in the library, only when there is a big conflict, can you get it.

Since Zhao Lifan had just come to the copper mine, Shi Dayou was afraid that he would not be familiar with the situation, so he first asked him to patrol with Jiang Danian in the morning, and then work in shifts when he was familiar with the environment.

There are two kinds of security guards in Meike Copper Mine, one is post security, which is served by locals, mainly on duty at fixed locations such as gates and office buildings, and the other is patrol security, that is, Zhao Lifan, who is mainly responsible for mobile patrols in the field, with two people per shift, and the security guards are also on duty 24 hours a day in three shifts.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, after Zhao Lifan and Jiang Danian got off work, they went to the information room of the copper mine under the leadership of Jiang Danian to reissue the phone card, and at the same time, the two also went to Mekofil Town to purchase some daily necessities and clothes for Zhao Lifan, and at the same time, Zhao Lifan also found a rental agent in the town and told them their requirements and contact information.

In the evening, I called a video to my family, because I had communicated with Zhao Liwei before, so I told my parents that the signal tower in the mine had been repaired, and Zhao Yihai told them to give them some advice, especially the aunt cried bitterly, and said that Zhao Lifan had lost weight and was black.

After talking to his father about the video, Zhao Lifan hesitated for a long time, but still dialed Liu Shiling's phone, both of them consciously avoided some topics, Zhao Lifan picked up and said some of his own experience, and concealed a lot, he was afraid that Liu Shiling would be worried, and Liu Shiling also said some interesting things about his own filming.

Since then, Zhao Lifan and Liu Shiling have resumed contact, and they will call and chat a few words every night, or send text messages, even if they are busy, they will send messages to each other to say goodnight, and they can't move, but neither of them mentions emotional matters, just says some trivial things in life, plain and true.

On the third day of Zhao Lifan's arrival at the copper mine, the intermediary company called and said that there was a small courtyard between the Meike copper mine and the town, to see if Zhao Lifan rented or not, after work, Zhao Lifan and Jiang Danian and the intermediary company came to the small courtyard, the yard is indeed not big, there are three bungalows arranged in a U-shape, and on the other side is a two-meter-high wall and gate, which is modeled after the Chinese courtyard building.

Between the three rooms and the fence is a courtyard of less than 100 square meters, the main room is the bedroom and living room, the kitchen and dining room are on the side row, the toilet and bathroom are on the other side, and a small storage room. Zhao Lifan was very satisfied with this yard, but Jiang Danian persuaded Zhao Lifan not to rent, and if he wanted to rent, he would rent it in the town, which was not as safe as in China.

In fact, it was a rich man in the town who built this house, but not long after living there, the nearby Meco copper mine was attacked by a group of armed men, and the family no longer dared to live, so they all moved back to the town, and now they are going to leave the town, originally planning to sell the yard, but the location is a bit out of the way, no one dares to ask for it.

Zhao Lifan saw that the yard was only two or three hundred meters away from the road, and more than a kilometer away from the copper mine, and the living facilities in the yard were also complete, so he thought it was very good, but the key was that the price was not expensive, that is, the price of renting a two-bedroom apartment in the town. As for this courtyard here, it is relatively remote, which is exactly in line with Zhao Lifan's intentions, and he can cultivate his divine sense and martial arts without any scruples.
