Chapter 68: Red Spring Ditch (5)

The Toyota was towed out, and with the time it took to rewind the line, it took a total of thirty-five minutes. The man in white who was rescued shyly thanked Du Zhengyi and Mahjong who came to help.

He just took out a stack of renminbi, wanting to repay the kindness of the rescue in the wilderness. Du Zhengyi waved his hand and refused, that was not in order, he knew that humans like money, but he also knew that few humans would collect money in this place at this time. Human beings occasionally have some complicated and illogical rules, and when they are not necessary, human nature will shine a little brightly. In the end, the man took out a box of cans from the car and stuffed them into Du Zhengyi's car. Mahjong was very interested in canned food, so he took a look at it and sent half of it to the back car.

Du Zhengyi invited the strange man to smoke a cigarette together, and the man did not refuse. They leaned on the side of the Toyota and smoked the cigarette, and the man told Du Zhengyi a few jokes in the off-road passenger circle in a thin and low voice, as if he didn't know how to thank these saviors who suddenly appeared, and he gave Du Zhengyi a few pieces of advice on the road.

Du Zhengyi said very little, and looked at the person while listening. Men smoke with great skill, but posture is rare. His thick fingers were bent up, his whole large hand was clenched, and he clutched a thin cigarette awkwardly as he held a stick. If a giant gorilla in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has a penchant for smoking, it will definitely adopt this rude posture.

The strange man fell into a moment of hesitation, and a shy and introverted man would hesitate so much before speaking, for fear that what he said would be ridiculed. But Du Zhengyi is just right for introverts to speak, although he is serious, he doesn't seem to be good at arguing, and he doesn't have a penchant for casually derogatory accusations against others.

"Do you see where the path we are taking came from?"

Du Zheng glanced at the road under his feet, "To be honest, I don't know. I've never seen such thick wheels, more than four times wider than the wheels of an off-road vehicle. ”

"I've seen it in the mines." The man said embarrassedly, as if knowing more things than others would make him particularly embarrassed. "But the ecological environment around here is very fragile, it is a nature reserve, and the authorities are not even allowed to hunt, let alone mine."

"Poachers here?"

"They are more fierce than poachers, and depending on the situation, they are more numerous, and those who can drive large machinery here must have eyes and hands. If you do, it's best not to stop and look around, it's better to leave. He exhorted in a whisper.

Du Zheng nodded, "If I meet me, I will notify the relevant departments, do a good deed every day, and be a citizen." ”

The man smiled, "Yes, civic responsibility." ”

The small talk was almost over, Du Zhengyi put away the remaining cigarette butts, and suddenly glanced back, "Those fools!" ”

"What's wrong?" The man asked.

Du Zhengyi frowned and looked gloomily at the business vehicle parked a little farther away. "Troublesome fools, I was restless all the way, and I always suspected that they had guns. Don't, don't look too obvious, don't let them notice. Are they fiddling with guns in the back seat? It's really stupid, I can't watch the movie. ”

"Not really." The man also seemed a little nervous, and looked twice, "They did get together, but they should be using a knife to pry open the can." ”

Du Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, "A group of fools who have never seen the world make you laugh." I really don't want to take them anymore, and it's not worth giving me any amount of money to be a guide for a fool in a no-man's land. ”

The man smiled shyly, as if he was too embarrassed to make a comment on such a thing. Du Zhengyi patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll go, I still want to rush to someone's village to stay before dark, and we'll meet again." ”

"Okay." The man smiled slightly, "I will definitely see you again." ”

Du Zhengyi nodded in a friendly manner, turned around and walked slowly towards his car. He stopped in front of his car door, reached out and put his hand on the doorknob, and stopped. He hesitated for two seconds before looking back at the man. The man, who was still standing there, waved at him when he saw him turn around. Du Zhengyi also nodded in response, and this time he opened the car door and sat in.

He started the engine, accelerated slowly, got around the Toyota, and drove back onto the dirt road crushed by the giant wheels. He looked back in the rearview mirror, and the strange man in white was still standing in the same position, as if he hadn't even moved. Du Zhengyi's face turned cold.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Qian, who was sitting in the back, suddenly asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Mahjong looked up confused, "Who?" Du Zhengyi? ”

"We've met the Mage." Du Zhengyi held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead.

"Who? That was a mage just now? Why didn't I feel it? Mahjong asked in surprise.

"Only a mage could see what the two people in the back seat were doing from such a distance, through the film glass. Humans can't see clearly at all, and mages often don't realize how much difference there is between human and mage's vision. Du Zhengyi said in a low voice.

"it." Mahjong said, "Then what kind of moth does he play, the mage can't make a car on his own?" Inferior mages? Is a mage disabled? ”

"The low-level mage can't hide the smell of magic on his body, but he didn't leak a trace just now." Du Zhengyi frowned, "It's like he's waiting here to see us, and he makes me feel very dangerous." ”

Others are okay, Yan Hao, who had paid special attention to Du Zhengyi, was extremely nervous at this moment. "Master Du, how did you find out in the first place that he might not be a mage? How did you come up with the idea to test him? ”

Mahjong turned his neck and looked at him funny, "Is it a lab class today?" Did you bring a notebook? ”

Du Zhengyi ignored them, "I don't like this feeling that I have been dominated by people all day today." ”

"I don't like him either, he looks like a pervert." Mahjong immediately also expressed his opinion.

"Why don't we take him down?" Yan Hao actively suggested, ignoring Du Zhengyi's failure to answer his question. "He's suspicious anyway."

"There's no need." Du Zhengyi said, "This is a long set, it will explode here without looking at the back, it is too tasteless." ”

"Huh?" Yan Hao stared at the back of Du Zhengyi's head in amazement, and didn't know what to say for a while. "But ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's better to keep quiet at all." Du Zhengyi said impatiently, "I don't answer questions. You'd better pretend you don't exist, or I'll kick you out of the car right now. ”

Yan Hao shrank back in embarrassment, but fortunately, Xiang Qian glanced at him comfortingly, and was quite kind to him, which made him feel a little better.

At this moment, Du Zhengyi's expression was dazed, and he suddenly glanced at the right window, and subconsciously avoided the car to the left. "What do I see?"

"What?" Mahjong asked reflexively, and immediately turned his head to the right window.

"Shut up!" Du Zhengyi couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm like I'm on a life-and-death mission with a tour group, fuck, what did I do wrong to suffer this crime?" ”
