Chapter 7: Chaos (2)

"Help me, there are a few gangsters who want to harm me." The strange man's voice was still weak, and he seemed exhausted.

"Who?" I suppressed my voice.

"I am a businessman who does jade and jade business, my surname is Pei, I just bought some goods from northern Myanmar, I didn't expect to meet robbers on the road, the tires of the car were punctured by them, the secretary and I were ambushed in the forest, please help, I will give you heavy thanks." The merchant surnamed Pei pleaded.

"And what about your secretary?" I got closer, and the silhouette of this man was very similar to the figure limping through the woods just now, but I was not sure.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and if you didn't have the courage to walk in the dark in this deep mountain rainforest, you wouldn't dare to walk in this forest. Merchant? I thought it wouldn't be that simple.

"Scattered." He paused for a second, then shook his head helplessly.

The sky was gray, and the moonlight was obscured by hazy clouds, leaving only a faint halo. I couldn't make out the man's face in the light, I only knew that the voice was coming from the figure's mouth.

Seeing that I was wary and reluctant to approach, the man stood up with support, "Xiansang, our leg is injured, those people are robbers, and they are still nearby, you can help, take me out, don't worry, Xiansang, I will definitely thank you again when I go out." ”

"You're Cantonese?" Listen to his accent with a thick Cantonese accent.

"Well, since they are all from the village, please help me." He could hear my accent too, and it seemed even more pleading.

I straightened up a little, looked around for fear that it was a trap, and thought that the general routine of blocking the road and robbing is that someone pretends to be injured and weak first, and waits for the other party to relax their vigilance and then find an opportunity to attack. I was about five meters away from the stranger, and neither of them said a word, and there was silence all around.

Seeing that I was vigilant and did not move, after a short half a minute, the figure finally couldn't help it, "Friend, I really don't want to be a bad person, if you tie me, take me out of this forest and get to a safe place, I will definitely thank you." ”

I still had doubts, but I remembered that the group of people with shotguns just now were not good people, and I really couldn't bear to throw him in this deserted forest, but I still stretched out a hand and pulled him up, and the merchant surnamed Pei stumbled to get up, and the other arm did not forget to step on the heavy backpack, "Oh." ”

The nearest safe zone? It seems that there are only nearby villages.

"You bear with me first, there is a village nearby, let's see if we can find a family to help you when you get there." I helped him out of the rainforest and slowly moved towards the place where the motorcycle was hidden.

"Thank you, friend."

"No thanks, those people in the woods were following you just now?"

The man's limbs that were supported by me suddenly stiffened, "So you were nearby just now?" ”

"I heard gunshots."

"Hmph, there are a lot of killers who have to be killed for money these days." The man shrugged the heavy backpack up twice, and it seemed that the contents were very important to him.

Without further words, I flipped my hidden motorcycle out of the bushes and drove him towards a small village not far away.

At night, the village was asleep and lifeless. I parked my motorcycle at the entrance of the village, helped him into the alley from the entrance of the village, and went door to door with the door closed, and the courtyard wall could be counted at a glance with some light.

When we entered the village, we knocked on the doors of several houses, and we never even opened the courtyard door.

"Which one?" A rude and impatient male voice.

"Hello, can you open the door?" I opened my mouth and shouted through the closed iron door.

"Hurry up." The man inside yelled and knocked twice on the iron door with a heavy iron weapon, "I don't get anything at all." ”

The merchant surnamed Pei was still unwilling, and said in as standard Mandarin as possible, "Please open the door, let us borrow it for one night, and I will pay you." ”

"I can't stop it, hurry up, if you don't leave, I'll call someone!"

In desperation, I had no choice but to give up with him and continue walking towards the village.

"This black light blinds the village deep in the mountains, and outsiders like us have come for some reason, I'm afraid they don't want to believe us." The merchant surnamed Pei shook his head in frustration.

"Let's go to the house at the head of the village." After knocking on the doors of several houses and refusing to let us stay overnight, the villagers were all very vigilant, holding the half-open courtyard door with one hand and self-defense equipment with the other.

We knocked on the door of the last brightly lit village house with no hope, and if we couldn't stay overnight, we had to find an abandoned eaves to take shelter for a while.

Knock knock...

"Which one?" There were some familiar voices, but they still roared out at the top of their voices.

"Uncle?" The voice across the wall turned out to be an old farmer with a basket of smokers in the village at noon, "It's me, we met at noon today." ”

The old farmer opened the door half-hidden and looked out, holding the short sickle for mushroom picking in his other hand. His originally vigilant eyes looked out for a few seconds, as if he finally recognized me, "It's you?" It's so late and you haven't been in town yet? ”

"I went around during the day, but I didn't pick any scenes, but it turned out to be too late and there was nowhere to stay, see if you can borrow a night for me and my friend, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." I try to smile as kindly as I can.

The old peasant looked at me and then stared at the merchant beside me for a moment, hesitatingly, as if he did not want us to enter the door, and was about to refuse us.

At the moment when the doorkeeper closed, the merchant next to me did not hesitate to pull out a wad of bills and press the handrail against the door frame, the meaning could not be more obvious.

"Please, let's not bother much, just find a roof to rest for a while, it's going to rain this day." The merchant surnamed Pei looked up at the sky, the humidity of the rainforest was heavy, and the air seemed even more dreary.

The village was far away, and it was not rich at all, and there was still enough temptation to get a wad of hundred-dollar bills, but the old farmer hesitated and still hesitated, and his hand holding the short sickle couldn't help but stretch out towards the door frame.

"We can't get in with such a narrow crack in the door, so you'd better let us in first." The merchant surnamed Pei stuffed the money directly into the old peasant's jacket pocket, pushed the door with the other hand and half-broke into the gate.

When I entered the courtyard, there was nothing to talk about in the house, except for a bonfire burning in an iron basin, and a well the size of a basin in the corner, and the courtyard was empty.

"You guys! No room entry! The old farmer did not put down the sickle in his hand, but held it tighter.

The merchant surnamed Pei squeezed into the door, and the firelight reflected on his angular face, looking a little more ruthless, "Okay, but you always want to get us something to eat and drink after you collect the money, right?" ”

Listening to his tone, the old peasant locked the iron door of the yard and nodded slightly, and then slumped back to the house inside the wooden door, and it was impossible to tell whether there was anyone else in the huge house.

"Looks like there's no one else." I listened carefully to the back room, but in fact, the old farmer was not the only one who was wary of each other at this time.

"As long as we can let the two of us hide from him, no matter how evil the villagers are, can they have those gangsters chasing me?" The merchant surnamed Pei breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly by the campfire.

"Thank you for saving our lives, but I don't know what to call them?" The two of us sat around the campfire, and the businessman surnamed Pei looked up at me while he was tending to the wound on his leg.

"My surname is Zhuang, Zhuang Yan." I held out my right hand, "It's okay, is it?" ”

The wound on his leg didn't look like a gunshot wound, and the large bruise on the outside of his thigh was more like being squeezed by a heavy object, "My name is Pei Di, don't you should, drink the star belt!" ”

The campfire crackled, and he shook my hand, which was strong and strong. Taking advantage of the firelight and looking closely, Pei Di's body is abnormally strong and has an angular face, if it weren't for the injury, the whole person looks like a boxer, and there is no Sven like an ordinary businessman should have.

I am afraid that it is not a good stubble to be able to run a business in this barren mountain and wilderness.

"I'm glad I met you, otherwise I would have died tonight, and my life shouldn't have been extinguished, I'm very lucky." Pei Di sighed deeply, his jacket stained with mud and looking embarrassed, and he took out a flattened cigarette case from his pocket, the cigarettes in which had long been crushed.

I took out my cigarette case and threw it to him, and when I thought about it, I always felt that he was not just a businessman, "Who are you robbing you?" ”

"It should be the bandits in this mountain, I didn't expect the outside world to be messed up in the past two years, and they all want to come to us to beg for a living." Pei Di took a puff on his cigarette and spit it out as he spoke.

Bang... There is already thunder on the side of the mountain not far away, and a thunderstorm is coming.

Listening to his words, I thought to myself, robbery is generally for money, how can there be a chase for death? "I didn't expect the security around here to get worse and worse."

"Huh?" Pei Di glanced at me obliquely, "It seems that you don't come here often, do you?" This neighborhood is originally close to the border, and robbery, smuggling, and drug trafficking can be encountered, but what are you doing in the woods alone? ”

"I traveled alone, and I wanted to walk around here and see more." I deliberately concealed it.

"Travel? It seems that you didn't do much preparation and strategy, how did you run to this poor place alone. Pei Di snorted, looking disapproving.

"Just go, where you go." I watched the fireworks in front of me, and the wooden branches crackled in the iron basin. "Where's your secretary? Do you want to go back and find it? ”

"I definitely want to look for it, but now is not the time, let's go to the town first, if it is fate, maybe I have escaped, that group of people are chasing me, he calculated that this is the case, so he ran in other directions alone, hmph, he doesn't care about my life or death, why do I mind him so much." He took another heavy drag on his cigarette and flicked the remaining butt into the campfire with his middle finger.

In my impression, although this rainforest is not beautiful, it is not a poor mountain and bad water, when I was in the company, Xu Yong would often lead the soldiers to patrol or train, why did it sound like a den of bandits in his mouth? I was still skeptical of what he said.

"You are such a big boss and don't you take a few trustworthy people with you when you go out?" I asked casually.

"The big boss is not a big boss, the business of the security company has been full recently, I contacted a few trustworthy companies to come out with me to discuss business, but they can't even have an empty manpower, and I can't help it." Pei Di placed the backpack at his side, stood up and shook the dirt off his body.

"Why do you have to be from the security company?"
