Chapter 67: Protect Me!
Chapter 67: Protect Me!
Lao Zhang, you live in Chuhua and know those villagers. There's a lot of grapevine. Do you know what? β
Lao Zhang thought for a while.
"Zhu Guoqing came back from Austria a few days ago to deal with you and the rent. He also sold a piece of land to Zhang Xu, a ghost in our village. β
Zhang Xu?
Lao Li's mind quickly turned. He was familiar with the name.
He suddenly remembered and said, "Zhang Xu? He is in his twenties, is he tall, handsome and young? β
Lao Zhang nodded like garlic.
"Yes, you know him too. He was a man of five or six years old. β
Lao Li gritted his teeth.
"Ahh I remember him. On that day, he took a girl and a child to see the house on the National Day of the Chu State.
I didn't see the house. The next day I was arrested.
This guy used to be Chu Hua's. No wonder he looks familiar.
What is the origin of that guy?
Chu Guoqing's land is very cheap, estimated to cost seven or eight hundred thousand yuan.
He is so rich, can he buy a house with Chu Guoqing? β
Lao Zhang said: "That guy, there is no one in Chu Hua who doesn't know him.
His grandfather was from our village. He knew him when he was young.
His grandfather died a few days ago. He hasn't been going out to work lately. He just worked on the three mountains that his grandfather had contracted to plant fruit trees.
It is estimated that his deceased grandfather left him money to buy land. β
Lao Li's heart changed.
"He contracted those mountains!
At this time, many fruits are ripe, and planting an orchard can make a lot of money. β
Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "You are not a local.
The fruit trees planted on his dilapidated hill were unpleasant. Before, his grandfather couldn't sell them and left them to rot. β
Lao Li narrowed his eyes.
"That guy must have done something good.
When I found a place to settle down, I had to go and get a good look at him. β
Old Zhang jokingly said, "What else can you find?" If you have the money to rent a house, you'd better think about how to pay me back.
His mountain is so big, you can go and live there. β
Lao Li's eyes lit up.
"You have a point. I had nowhere to go since the boy reported me, so I stayed in his orchard.
If you are hungry, you can eat the fruit from his orchard. If you have time, you can eat game.
You can also hide from creditors.
What kind of bridge do you live on? It's so windy on the bridge that you can drink from west to north! β
Lao Zhang smiled.
"If you get caught, don't say I taught you."
Lao Li patted him on the shoulder.
"Of course not.
You give me a ride and take me to his mountain.
I'll give it back to you when I find a way out. β
Lao Zhang frowned and sighed.
"Forget it, I'll take you.
Who called you my creditor? It's money my dad owes these days! β
Lao Li found a remote jungle to live in the mountains, and he was more vigilant about it, so as not to be discovered by Zhang Xu.
After two days of staying, he grew bolder and went further in the mountains.
Well, he admits that hunger drove him to do so.
That day, when he reached the top of the mountain, he found a peach grove on the other side of the mountain, where three women were working and picking fruits.
"Come to that guy's fruit grove. Be careful not to be discovered. β
He hid his figure and peeked, his ears pricked up.
Now the wind was a little strong, and the sound from the opposite side clearly drifted into his ears.
Lu Qin said to Zhang Lan: "Zhang Xu's lychees have been selling very well recently, and they are almost finished, leaving only some peaches and lychees.
However, his lychees can only be sold for 500 yuan at most, and 1,000 lychees can earn 500,000 yuan.
This fruit is well grown. No wonder he doesn't work and still has the money to buy land. β
Since Lu Qin came to work for Zhang Xu, she may have earned more money and lived a more stable life. She also has more to say.
Even the bitter gourd face has become better, and his face has become more cheerful.
Zhang Lan smiled faintly.
"That's good, isn't it? He can earn money to give us money. β
Lu Qin smiled and said, "Yes, such a good boss, where can I find such an easy job."
I have almost no time to work in the factory now. I'm thinking, go to the factory, quit in a few days, save trouble.
What about you? What is the plan? β
"I'd better continue to work in the factory," Zhang said. His orchard is not working every day. I have a place to live in the factory. After quitting my job, I had a hard time finding another place to live. βγ
If you have a job, you can do it. Anyway, the factory will let you go. I feel good. β
Lu Qin nodded and said, "It's the same, your situation is different from mine."
I live here and my daughter studies here. β
In addition to picking fruits, Zhang Xu also wanted her to make wormwood incense.
She has worked here more than Zhang Lan's.
They went and said something else.
Lao Li listened to what they had just said, but he didn't listen to anything.
He's still in shock!
500 yuan a lychee, 1,000 yuan a lychee is 500,000 yuan. Is fruit worth so much now?
It's a priceless fruit!
Lao Li heard Lao Zhang say that Zhang Xu's fruit was not delicious, so he thought it was an ordinary fruit. He was amazed at how expensive they were.
"Go see how good the fruit is."
Driven by curiosity, Lao Li quietly walked towards the peach forest.
He didn't dare to get too close for fear of scaring the snake, so he looked at the edge of the peach grove from a distance.
"There is no fruit to pick in the trees here, and the ripe fruit is concentrated on the side of the three women, so it is difficult to start."
When Lao Li was thinking of a way, he suddenly saw a peach lying on the ground a few meters in front of him, half of which was already rotting.
He looked around and didn't see anyone. He rushed to pick it up and ran to a place where no one was around.
Looking at the peach in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He hadn't eaten all day.
He couldn't wait to take a bite.
The delicious food in his mouth spreads, which excites him.
"What kind of peach is this?
It's delicious!
No wonder it's so expensive! β
The fruit fell to the ground and rotted. There was some sediment in the meat, but Lao Li didn't care. He took two or three bites and spit out some sediment after eating.
He said, "Damn!
The boy grows fruit abundantly, but I want to eat wild vegetables and fried crickets here.
If you hadn't reported me, I might have felt comfortable at the table right now. How did I end up here?
You kid, wait and see. This fruit is so delicious. I'm going to have to steal it and sell it.
I would sell it for half the price and I am sure I will pay off my debts. β
Thinking of this, his smile grew bigger and bigger.
"No, I can't do it alone. I'll ask Lao Zhang for help.
This guy's situation is similar to mine.
Wait until there is no one in the evening and come back. β
Late at night, Chu Hua had a sweet dream.
The three mountains are very quiet, with only insects and birds singing. Two sneaky figures appeared on the mountain road.
Lao Li and Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang said suspiciously: "Ah Hong, is what you said reliable?"
I remember that the fruit in the mountains was very difficult to eat and could not be sold. I gave it to the villagers.
Five hundred dollars per person? I have never heard of such an expensive fruit. β
Lao Li swore: "It's true, why should I lie to you?"
Rich people earn money together.
This guy has hurt me too much. I had to steal all his fruit.
He owes me. β
Lao Zhang yawned.
"It's better to tell the truth. I don't sleep. I'll accompany you in the middle of the night to feed the mosquitoes.
If the fruit doesn't taste good, I'll get angry. β
Lao Li said, "Don't worry. It must be worth it. I ate the fruit and it was really delicious. β
At the thought of the smell, he hadn't finished eating.
Lao Zhang yawned again. At this time he usually sleeps soundly.
"What fruit are you going to pick?"
Lao Li said: "Peaches."
The peaches I ate were delicious. I don't know about other fruits.
I saw some fruit on the tree, which looked almost ripe and ready to be picked.
The money earned is divided equally. β
Lao Zhang's face looks much better now.
"I brought two big bags. I don't know if they're enough.
The motorbike was parked at the foot of the mountain.
Hurry up and get this done. It would be fun if someone stole a motorcycle. β
Lao Li smiled and said, "That's why I called you here." They are much faster. β
When the two were chatting, they didn't notice two small green lights in the forest behind them.
Two green lights followed them, not far from each other, as if they were watching them.
Lao Zhang and Lao Li came to the peach tree, lit up the forest with a flashlight, and found that one of the trees was preparing to leave.
Taking out the sickle and the big bag, they began to pick the peaches.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the jungle, imbued with a powerful deterrent force, piercing the quiet night sky.
The two men who committed the crime were shocked and shocked.
Lao Zhang stood there, frowning.
"Why are there wild cats in the mountains?"
Lao Li said casually: "Wild cat? How I didn't see it.
Birds have disappeared from their mouths these days. If there are cats, they will catch them and eat them. β
He raised the scythe in his hand, "Anyway, now I have a knife in my hand that can kill cats and pluck hair." β
Lao Zhang is not as relaxed as he is. He looked around with a flashlight. He soon saw the cat.
When he saw the cat clearly, he swallowed and became nervous.
"Stepping on a horse!
What's going on?
Is this a cat?
Tiger"
Lao Li followed his eyes and saw a huge and majestic cat.
A meter away from Lao Li stood a huge cat in the woods.
The cat has orange fur all over its body. It is almost half a meter long and almost as tall as his knees. It's strong and heavy.
The cat's tail stood up, and its body was tense and alert. It stares at them with cold eyes, as if looking at its prey.
Lao Li was excited for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
It's just a cat.
"Lao Zhang, you are too timid, what kind of tiger is this, obviously an orange cat!
They are fat and big and may have eaten too much. The owner couldn't afford it, so threw it here. β
He licked his lips, expecting it.
"This cat has been feeding me for half a month, and the meat must be delicious.
Lao Zhang, after picking the fruit, let's eat a cat meat pot. β
"Ah Hong, isn't it? The cat is so cute. You even eat. β
Lao Li spat on the ground, his eyes shining green.
"What's going on? During the famine years, people even ate when they were hungry. β
"You can eat by yourself. Don't call me. β
Lao Zhang shook his head and quietly took a step back.
The more he looked, the more he felt that the cat was unusual, which scared him.
Maybe Lao Li was hungry and scared, so he felt that the cat was just meat.
"I think it's better to do more than one thing. Just drive it away. I always find this cat stressful. β
At this time, Lao Li only had meat in his eyes.
He snatched the knife from Lao Zhang's hand.
"You're not afraid of me. Give me two knives, and I will break its neck with one.
I did it, and it's simple. β
Lao Zhang shivered and hid behind.
"You can do it."
Lao Li confronted Xiao Meng with two knives.
Xiao Meng looked at Lao Li, and his eyes became even more hideous.
"Meowβ"
It moved instantly, like a bolt of lightning, and pounced on Lao Li.
Its figure blended with the darkness, so Lao Li couldn't see it clearly.
When Lao Li saw a black shadow coming towards him, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
He hurriedly waved the knife in his hand and shouted, "To hell! β
"Khooth!"
The cat did not cut, and the two knives in his hand fell to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his hand. He was surprised to find several deep, long streaks of blood on his wrists.
"It hurts!
Damn it!
Is this a cat?
Is it a tiger? β
Lao Li took a few steps back. He didn't have the courage to kill a cat and eat meat just now. He covered his wounds and fled.
Before he set off, the cat badly injured his wrist.
If this continues, his throat will be bitten by a cat.
Xiao Meng will not let him go easily. He was blinking and continued to attack Lao Li.
Lao Li heard a few more screams.
Lao Zhang's miserable screams made him shiver.
"Mom! It's cruel! What a tiger! β
He reached out and picked up a branch to cover his figure, and then ran down the hill like a fly.
He ran in the opposite direction to Lao Li. After a few laps of the mountain road, he ran to the front of the motorcycle.
He stopped panting and cradled his motorcycle to catch his breath.
I could see that it was far from the mountain forest and was already close to the mountain road. It was a little bright, so I was relieved. When I think about what I just saw, I still have palpitations.
"What kind of cat is that?
It's really scary. I feel like it's like killing someone. I wonder if Ah Hong survived?
I've heard that these stray cats and dogs are no different from wild animals before. It is estimated that the cat is also hungry and wants to eat people. β
He felt his heart beating slowly, and he was very happy.
Fortunately, he did not attack the cat with Lao Li, otherwise he would not have been able to leave safely.
"It's Lao Li's fault, he asked me to be a thief in the middle of the night.
I'm also obsessed. If I hadn't been forced by my creditors because of lack of money, I wouldn't have done such a thing.
It is best to sleep at home.
I'd better leave quickly and save Lao Li's life when I can. I would have been suspected of murder.
A little more is better than a little less. β
As he got on his motorcycle and prepared to run, he was nervous about the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Li ...... Stone pillar! β
Lao Zhang cautiously turned around and saw that Lao Li was covered in blood, which made his pupils narrow.
"Mom!
ghost
It's none of my business.
There are mistakes, there are debts, there are owners. If you want to find it, you can find cats! β
Lao Li rolled his eyes silently.
"Madan, when did I die?"
Lee Se-joo said in disbelief: "Are you really alive? β
Lao Li was very angry and urged him: "Come on, take me away."
The cats will soon catch up... β
Lao Zhang looked at Lao Li's feet and found that his feet were on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not dead. It's a big life! β
Looking back, he was about to leave, "Don't mess with it, I don't care about you......"
Seeing that Lao Zhang's motorcycle was about to leave, Lao Li's will to survive was stimulated. He jumped into Lao Zhang's car with all his strength, and hugged Lao Zhang tightly with his hands like iron hoops.
"Thanks to my money, I thought of you. You didn't take me with you when you ran away. How ungrateful!
Take me away, or I'll die with you. β
Lao Zhang was held in his arms and couldn't move. He gritted his teeth and said something.
"I owe you all my life!"
Motorcycles sped towards crowded places.
In the mountains and forests not far behind them, Xiao Meng looked at their departing figures, standing there, his eyes shining, like a general guarding the forest.
Lao Zhang took Lao Li to a crowded place in the vegetable market.
In the bustling crowd, they listened to the noisy cries and watched the white mist rising from the steamed buns. Their hearts are completely freed.
But everyone looked at Lao Li strangely and left them.
It is not surprising that Lao Li is covered in blood all over his body and looks very penetrating.
At this time, Lao Li felt that the wounds all over his body were burning.
He couldn't help but whisper a few words.
"Madan!
What a cat! It's too fast, the claws are too sharp!
The more I thought about it, the more wrong I became, this amazing combat power could not be a cat.
Is the tiger in the zoo out?
I don't know if I'm sick. I have to get vaccinated against rabies.
Unfortunately, I can't steal chicken without eating rice. I didn't even pick a single fruit. β
Lao Zhang said suddenly.
"It's like I've picked a peach."
Lao Li's eyes were as open as light bulbs.
"Where?"
Lao Zhang took out a branch from the front of the car, and a peach hung on it, and the peach was still very ripe.
"I broke a branch while running..."
Lao Li raised his thumb.
"You're such a genius."
Lao Zhang looked at the ugly peach on the branch with an expression of disbelief.
"Is it really that delicious?"
Lao Li picked the peach and reluctantly handed it to Lao Zhang.
He was so hungry that he cooed, but in order to win Lao Zhang's trust, he had to let him taste the delicious food first.
"Try it. It's really delicious. β
Lao Zhang suspiciously bit a peach. As soon as he bit it, he felt as if he had bitten a stone, and his teeth were about to break.
He was so angry that he yelled and hurled.
"Lao Li, I'm sure you'll go up the mountain with you!
I truly believe in your wickedness. Is this crushed fruit delicious?
My teeth are going to break! β
Lao Li frowned, and said suspiciously: "Impossible, I ate very delicious that day." β
He grabbed the remaining peaches in Lao Zhang's hand and bit them.
Then he covered his cheeks, furrowed his features, and spat out a piece of flesh with teeth from his mouth.
"Stepping on a horse! I lost my teeth!
Phew! Why is it so bad? β
He didn't understand why the delicious food was the way it was.
P.S., vote!
