Chapter 058: Chapter 3 of the Covenant (Part 1)
Although the difference with Shi Xiaolian made Ren Pingsheng's heart full of melancholy, but they couldn't change it when they got on the road, and the two drove back according to the original plan, all the way to the east, and the end point: Hanhai City.
At that time, the Kunmo Expressway passing through Mengwax County had not yet been opened to traffic, and Ren Pingsheng and they could only take the G213 National Highway Blue Mill Line to reach PE City first, and then reach Kunming City through G323 National Highway.
From Kunming City, they can take the expressway, at that time, the two routes of Hanrong and Hanrui, which are the three major horizontal arteries of China's expressway, have not yet been completed, and they can only take the Kunheng Expressway from Kunming to Hengzhou, Xiangchu.
Change to the national highway in Hengzhou City to enter Jiangjiang Province, change to the Jiangxi section of Hankun Expressway in Yuzhang City to enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and then follow the route of Raocheng-Kecheng-Hanzhou, and finally arrive at Hanhai City.
In order to save time and hurry, Ren Pingsheng decided to drive two people in turns, although there are not many national highway cars here, and the road conditions are fine.
But for safety reasons, after Lin Li let go for 4 hours, Ren Pingsheng asked him to take a break and change to driving by himself.
This Qingling 700P is a row and a half model, and there is a bunk-sized space at the rear of the cab that allows drivers who change shifts to lie down to sleep.
Lin Lisong walked all the way, and sometimes when he didn't make it to the hotel, he just slept in that position, so he threw a thin quilt and put it there.
He shifted from the driver's seat, and was about to climb to the back berth, when the thin quilt suddenly propped up, and something popped out of it.
Lin Lisong was startled, his body naturally leaned back, and he almost hit the glass, Ren Pingsheng was familiar with the car at this time, and he hadn't gotten on the road yet, so he hurriedly turned his head to look.
I saw that a thin figure wrapped under a thin quilt, with a shaved head, dark skin, and thin eyes, wasn't it the Tai child Yan Po who led the way for Lin Lisong yesterday, when did he sneak into the car?
"Brother Ren, Brother Lin, I want to go to Hanhai, you take me there. Xiao Yanpo saw them, neither nervous nor afraid, and said with a smile with his white teeth open.
Ren Pingsheng and Lin Lisong looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Kid, it's not okay for you to run out like this, your parents will be worried, they will look for you everywhere. Lin Lisong persuaded earnestly.
"I don't have my dad anymore, my mom is gone, no one is looking for me. β
Xiao Yan lowered his head, his mouth pouted, his hands twisted together, and the fingers of his right hand pinched the thumb of his left hand hard.
He must have been picking at this place for a long time, and the skin next to his fingernails was torn by him, and he was full of anxiety from his demeanor to his movements.
Yan Po's father is a lively Thai man, he left home when he was very young to work in other places, it is said that he met Yan Po's mother when he was working, the two were young, they fell in love, and they were together.
However, after the two returned to Yanpo's father's hometown to get married, because there were no local employment channels, Yanpo's father didn't like to do farm work, so he could only wander around at home.
There is no economic income, and the standard of living is not as good as working in a big city, which makes Yanpo's mother quite disappointed.
One day, after a big quarrel between Yanpo's mother and her husband, she left Xiao Yanpo, who was less than 5 years old, and ran away from home that night, and Yanpo's father chased dozens of kilometers but did not catch up.
After his wife ran away, Iwapo's father collapsed, not only did he not take on the responsibility of taking care of his son, but he was idle all day long, and was taken by some gangsters in society, became addicted to drugs, and became a drug dealer.
When Xiao Yanpo was 9 years old, Yanpo's father was caught red-handed by the anti-narcotics police during an anti-drug operation.
Since then, Xiao Yanpo has become an orphan without a father and mother, relying on his grandparents who are nearly 70 years old to live.
It is also because of his father that Xiao Yanpo was listed by the Mengwax County Border Defense Squadron as the target of the "Care for Tomorrow and Grow Together" action, and the officers and soldiers of the Border Squadron donated him to school.
All along, the school and teachers have taken great care of Xiao Yan and hope that he can study hard, but Xiao Yan is not enthusiastic about studying, and his grades in the class are not very good.
It may be because his father always liked to tell him about his working life back then, Xiao Yan has been yearning for the life in those big cities since he was a child, and has always wanted to leave this remote mountain village and go to the big city to have a look.
It happened that they showed Ren Pingsheng the way yesterday, and listened to Ren Pingsheng's description of Hanhai City, which made Xiao Yan quite fascinated, and he had long been yearning for it.
That night, Xiao Yanpo quarreled with his grandparents because he came home late, and he wanted to run away from home as soon as he was angry.
So, before dawn this morning, Xiao Yanpo slipped out of the house and found Ren Pingsheng's truck near the school.
He hid aside, and while the two of them were not looking, he sneaked into the cab and hid in the thin quilt in the bed behind.
He was small, and he deliberately didn't make a sound, Ren Pingsheng and Lin Lisong didn't notice that there was an extra person in the cab, until Lin Lisong was about to go to sleep on the bunk, and Xiao Yanpo jumped out.
After some interrogation, Ren Pingsheng figured out Xiao Yanpo's intention, but he couldn't agree to take this little guy with him.
On the one hand, it is because what they are doing is very dangerous, it can be said that they are on the edge of the law, they need a high degree of confidentiality and loyalty, and what they can do by themselves, Ren Pingsheng would rather do it himself, unless it is in the link where they need the help of others, they will let people they trust participate.
Up to now, there are only two and a half people who can reassure Ren Pingsheng, two are Lin Lisong and An Qi, and half is Shi Xiaolian.
On the other hand, although Xiao Yanpo is a relatively mature child, his age is too young, his body and head are not fully developed, and he can't help much in Hanhai City, and there is no place for child labor in a big city like Hanhai, so what can he do when he arrives in Hanhai?
Ren Pingsheng hid the first layer of consideration and told Xiao Yanpo about the second layer of consideration.
He said it quite plainly, but when the boy heard this, he was not discouraged, and his two dark eyes turned and turned, and with a tone that he did not know whether it was naΓ―ve or sophisticated, he begged:
"Brother Ren, you can take me with you. Don't look at me as small, I'm not stupid, I can do a lot of things. β
"Then tell me, what can you do?" Ren Pingsheng teased.
Xiao Yan hesitated, as if he couldn't think of what he could do. But soon he pretended to be pitiful, hugged Lin Lisong's arm and begged:
"Anything, whatever you tell me to do, just take me to Hanhai City and leave this ghost place. β
His voice was pitiful, which made Lin Lisong a little unbearable.
"Pingsheng, otherwise, let's take him first, and if he really can't do it, I'll send him back. β
"Yes, yes, take me, I promise, I must listen to the words of the two eldest brothers, if you tell me to go east, I will go east, and if you call me west, I will go west, I will make money in the future, and I will definitely repay the eldest brother well, share the blessings and difficulties." β
Xiao Yanpo clasped his hands into fists, reciting the lines he learned from an unknown Hong Kong film, lying on the floor of the cab while talking, kowtowing again and again.
Although Xiao Yan's head is not big, he is very energetic, knocking the floor of the cab loudly, Ren Pingsheng does not stop him, just watching coldly, Lin Lisong wanted to reach out to help, but was stopped by a sharp look from him.
I saw that the child was stumbling more and more slowly, the skin on his forehead was already bleeding, and his eyes began to dilate, so he reached out and grabbed him, lifted him up and put him on the seat.
Ren Pingsheng stretched out three fingers and shook them, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and his two eyes locked on Xiao Yanpo like pliers, and he said in a deep voice:
"I'll give you three chapters of the covenant, if you can abide by it, you can stay, if you can't obey, I will drive you away at any time, understand?"
Although Xiao Yanpo had blood stains on his forehead and face, and his expression was very weak, he stubbornly raised his head, and his eyes met Ren Pingsheng's gaze without showing weakness.
"The first rule is not to talk too much, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. β
"The second one, you can't do it yourself, and I can't do anything that I don't agree to. β
"The third is that you can't hide it, you have to tell me everything, and you can't hide it. β
"I heard it, I can do it, I will do it. Xiao Yan replied loudly with all his strength, as if he was afraid that Ren Pingsheng would question his loyalty.
Ren Pingsheng nodded, took out iodine wine and bandages from the medicine box in the car, personally helped Xiao Yanpo deal with the scars on his head, and took out the dry food given by Shi Xiaolian and distributed it to him.
Xiao Yanpo didn't eat breakfast when he went out, and he was almost hungry after hiding for a long time, and when he saw the familiar Thai food, like a hungry wolf seeing blood, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Xiao Yanpo's eating appearance, nodded with satisfaction, watched him finish eating the last rice ball, and then arranged for him to sit in the co-pilot's seat, holding the map and being responsible for guiding the way, and letting Lin Lisong go to the back row to rest.
Three people in a car, continue on the road.
