Chapter 23 Go into the mountains to make money
Looking at Zhang Dawei, Melissa was not embarrassed at all, because she only had her baby daughter in her eyes.
"Mommy, the baby misses you the most!" The baby is really coaxing, and the little mouth is really sweet, "Mommy, the baby misses you." ”
Melissa smiled very happily, hugged her daughter, kissed the baby's fleshy little face a few times, and happily staged a mother-daughter love scene with the baby.
Zhang Dawei just hugged Xiaobai, looking like he was watching a play. Of course, Zhang Dawei is also very busy, because there is something to do next.
"David, are you really confident?" After making out with the baby, Melissa thought about business, "Every year, many people will encounter danger because of hiking, and you need to ensure your own safety for the sake of your children." ”
Zhang Dawei didn't pretend to be sentimental, and told the truth, "There is a good pay, so I want to give it a try." Without a baby, my safety doesn't need to be worried. I'll make some preparations, and as long as I don't get lost, I'll definitely be able to get out of the mountains. ”
Melissa looked at Zhang Dawei and asked with some suspicion, "Is that just like that? Just with Xiaobai, don't you need more preparation?" I know your physical fitness is very good, but you are not Bell Grylls or Les Stroud, you are not a special soldier, you have not learned to survive in the wilderness. ”
"I'm definitely going to try, I'm going to buy a compass, I'm going to buy a rope, I'm going to buy a flint. Zhang Dawei is still very confident and confident, "I won't run into too deep depths, and I won't go to dangerous places." And Xiaobai's sense of smell is very developed, which can help me a lot. That's $25,000, and I really don't want to miss it. ”
Melissa was still not at ease, and accompanied Zhang Dawei to the outdoor goods store, or supervised Zhang Dawei to purchase some things. She reminded her of a lot of things, and she still had doubts about Zhang Dawei's ability to survive in the wilderness.
Especially when he saw that Zhang Dawei's self-defense weapon was just a dagger, he wanted to stop talking.
"You'd better send me and the baby home first. Melissa looked at Zhang Dawei, then looked at the baby and said, "She is still more used to the name of the baby, and Op is just my exclusive name for her." ”
Zhang Dawei drove Melissa's Ford, which was quite an old car. However, Zhang Dawei thinks it should be better than his second-hand pickup truck, Zhang Dawei feels that if he has money, he can indeed consider changing the car, but he really can't afford it for the time being.
Catherine was very happy, she knew that Zhang Dawei came to San Diego this time to make money. Of course, Zhang Dawei is busy, anyway, her perception of Zhang Dawei is also very complicated, this is not her daughter's boyfriend or husband, at most, because of the baby's relationship, Zhang Dawei will be a little more enthusiastic, but that's all.
Melissa is happy because she knows that the baby is a bit introverted. Now that she saw the baby being carried away by Catherine, of course she was happy. Because the baby is now more and more cheerful, because the baby is now willing to interact more with the family.
"David, come with me. ”
Melissa glanced at Zhang Dawei and walked forward on her own. Zhang Dawei, who was stunned for a while, could only follow, this is Melissa's territory, and Zhang Dawei is better obedient.
Even though Zhang Dawei was stunned, he still followed Melissa into her room.
Melissa didn't look at Zhang Dawei, just opened the drawer and took out a pistol, "Do you know how to use a pistol?"
Looking at the USP pistol in Melissa's hand, Zhang Dawei was really a little panicked, "You have a pistol?"
"It's America here, what's so strange about me having a pistol!" Melissa glanced at Zhang Dawei angrily, she was telling the truth, "Here, almost every house has a gun, and I just got this gun not long ago." ”
Zhang Dawei felt that Melissa had a gun, which should be the impact of the year she might have disappeared. Of course, it is legal for her to own a gun now, and the law in the United States is that you can hold a long gun at the age of 18 and buy a pistol at the age of 21.
"I know you're physically good and strong, but you're probably going to face some beasts in the wild. A dagger is not enough, you should take this gun. Melissa handed the pistol to Zhang Dawei, with a businesslike attitude, "You must pay attention to safety, otherwise the baby will definitely be very sad." ”
Zhang Dawei thought about it, but still put the gun away.
In fact, he knows that in the United States, the last thing he can borrow is a gun, and Melissa is willing to take the risk of lending him a gun. But Zhang Dawei also knows very well that such trust is more because of the baby.
Zhang Dawei set off because he needed to hurry. He knows that the baby may still be a little unaccustomed, but in fact, the baby is used to being by his father all the time. So Zhang Dawei reminded the baby a lot before leaving, hoping that she could be obedient, even if she didn't see her father, don't be nervous, because Dad will come back in one night at most, and the baby can see Dad when he sleeps.
The car is Melissa's car, and the gun in her waist is also Melissa's, which is really with Melissa's help.
Hurry up, Zhang Dawei needs to hurry up, because he wants to return to the baby early, he is still worried that the baby will not get used to it. It's also because of the calculations, that Chris has been missing for almost three days, and it may be dangerous.
Chris's state is certainly worth caring about, because that guy is worth a fortune. It is 25,000 US dollars to find a big living person, and if you can't move, it will be 10,000 US dollars, the difference is too big, and of course Zhang Dawei cares about it.
"Man, what about Chris's car and the usual daily necessities?" Seeing Matthews, Zhang Dawei was not polite, "I have to hurry up and go into the mountain now and tell me about his situation." ”
Pointing to a Ferrari F430 on the side of the road, Matthews said, "That's his car, and some of his clothes are in it." We did what you asked, and Xiaobai will definitely be able to smell him. ”
Zhang Dawei nodded at a middle-aged man next to him, that was Chris's father. This middle-aged man is really anxious, his family is not short of money, and the most important thing now is to find his son. So even if he didn't expect too much from Zhang Dawei, Jason Chris still agreed, drove his son's car, and brought a lot of children's clothes, just because he heard his son's friend say that this 'wild man' can go deep into the mountains.
"Xiaobai, sniff more, remember these smells. Stuffing Xiaobai into the car, Zhang Dawei instructed seriously, "Remember, the smell in the car and the smell on the clothes are also smelled, you must remember clearly, it depends on you when you enter the mountain." ”
Xiaobai sniffed around in the car, and Zhang Dawei walked up to Matthews and them, "Give me the map and tell me the route." ”
Jason immediately handed over the map and said nervously and expectantly, "David, that's where he entered the mountain." The four of them went into the mountains together, but they were separated, and my poor boy got lost with them at a convenient time. ”
Zhang Dawei asked a few words carefully, that is, the route of mountaineering, hoping that this can save some trouble. In fact, Jason has introduced these simple situations many times, with volunteers and search and rescue companies.
Xiao Bai barked twice, then jumped out of the car, wagged his tail and ran to Zhang Dawei's side.
Jason: They were a little skeptical that Xiaobai remembered Chris's scent in such a short time, and they were even more skeptical of the ability of such a fat puppy. But now, I can only listen, because the small is a little small, but it should have received some search and rescue dog training, and there are a lot of search and rescue dogs here in the search and rescue company in the past two days.
"It's twenty-five thousand dollars if it's safe to bring him out, right?" Carrying a big backpack with a lot of supplies in it, Zhang Dawei looked at Terry very seriously and asked, "It's a pity that your child has encountered difficulties, but this is my business." ”
Although he was unhappy, Jason nodded hurriedly, who let Zhang Dawei have nothing to do with him at all, "Thirty thousand dollars, if you take him out safely, I will give you thirty thousand dollars immediately." It doesn't matter if it's cash or check!"
Holding Xiaobai, Zhang Dawei was very happy, and there were 5,000 more US dollars, which is really good!
Set off decisively, and if you are lucky, you can get 30,000 US dollars, and a low-profile Ford F150 is more than 30,000 US dollars!
"Xiaobai, do you remember that smell?" Zhang Dawei picked up Xiaobai and asked, "It's been almost three days, and it is estimated that the breath is almost gone." Luckily, it hasn't rained for the past two days, so let's go inside, and let me know if you smell it. ”
Zhang Dawei, who was full of confidence in Xiaobai, strode into the mountain, and there was no pressure on Zhang Dawei to enter the mountain, and he did not need to worry about danger. Because he is strong, because he has enough supplies, because he has all kinds of weapons for daggers and pistols!
