After this thrilling episode, the group stayed on duty at night, and the rest seized the time to close their eyes and squint for a while.

I don't know how long later, the innkeeper rode back to the hotel on his red horse, and cursed as if he were cursing the police who were unwilling to go out at night.

Since the police didn't come, he couldn't let a dead man always lie in the yard of his hotel, so he could only call his wife and children to do it together, drag the body to the backyard and cover it with straw, and clean up the blood stains on the ground, and when all this was done, the sky was already dark.

Lai Xiaofei didn't close his eyes all night, and when he saw the dawn, he called everyone up as soon as he saw it, and ordered everyone to go on the road immediately in order to prevent accidents.

"What time is it...... Xiaofei, let's sleep a little longer, I didn't sleep well last night......"

Wang Lianhao rubbed his eyes and complained, but the next moment he was kicked in the ass by Lai Xiaofei.

"You still have the face to say, who is to blame? You slept soundly, Lao Tzu didn't close his eyes all night! Don't forget the purpose of our trip, to do what Mr. Zhou explained, and let you sleep for three days and three nights when you go back! ”

Wang Lianhao pouted, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only pack up his things and sit in the car in a daze, ready to go on the road again.

Lai Xiaofei retreated from the room, chatted with the innkeeper about the previous night, jumped into the car, and motioned for Zach to continue south, heading towards their destination.

The truck flickered back on the road, but the farther south it went, the worse the road conditions became, and the speed of the truck became slower and slower.

Just as the truck had not left the hotel for 20 meters, I heard a shout from behind the car.

Wang Lianhao lifted the canvas behind the car and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wearing wide, ill-fitting clothes, long black hair, and black eyes, dragging a suitcase in her hand, shouting and chasing their truck.

"It's the kid from last night, why is she running after us? Santos, what is she talking about? ”

"She said let's help her, take her with her, and she'll pay, begging us to take her to the New World, to New York."

"What? We're heading south now, how does she know we're going to New York? ”

Santos guessed uncertainly: "Maybe she's looking at the license plate, or maybe she can't figure out the direction." ”

Wang Lianhao looked at the girl who ran until she was out of breath, and his face showed a trace of unbearability.

"Xiaofei, stop for a moment, take her on, this child is so pitiful, her father died last night, the world here is chaotic, if it falls into the hands of bad people, the consequences will be unimaginable, she is still a child."

"Who the wasn't a kid before!"

Lai Xiaofei glared at him angrily, but still asked Zach to stop.

The boy caught up with the truck, threw up the suitcase that still exuded an indescribable smell, and then lay on the wheels with both hands, and successfully climbed into it with the help of Wang Lianhao.

"Thank you...... Thank you! You are such good people, sir, and God will bless you. ”

The boy bowed and thanked everyone in broken English.

"You're welcome, what's your name? Why are those bad guys going to deal with you? ”

The black-haired and big-eyed girl looked at Wang Lianhao and popped out word by word.

"My name is Pera...... They're bad guys, Daddy with the formula, they're going to rob, we're running, Daddy is dead, we have to get away from here, go to San Francisco, go to New York, benefactor, Pera wants to go to New York. ”

The child's English skills are limited, and her speech seems a little upside down, but fortunately, everyone basically understands what she is trying to say.

Lai Xiaofei frowned, looked at the leather case that was cleaned but still had residual aftertaste and said, "Recipe? What recipe would make so many people hunt you down? Can the father hide his child in a cesspool? ”

At this time, the always taciturn copper lock suddenly spoke: "It definitely won't be the recipe for the burrito." ”

“......”

As soon as he said this, there was a strange silence in the carriage, Lai Xiaofei, Wang Lianhao and Shen Weicai looked at the copper lock together, but they didn't expect this stuffy gourd to joke sometimes.

"Don't be afraid, Pera, we're here to do some business, and we'll return to New York when we're done, but do you have any relatives in New York? How do you live when you get there? Where to stay? And on what sustain it? ”

As the truck continued to go south, Wang Lianhao, under the translation of Santos, talked to the girl named Pera all the way, and listened to Lai Xiaofei's brain buzzing, and he couldn't wait to throw him and the child out of the car together.

also relied on Wang Lianhao's words, and Lai Xiaofei also listened to it next to him.

It turned out that the girl, named Pella, was only 14 years old this year, and she and her father were from a place called Magon Village.

Her father, who was well versed in chemistry and herbalism, was caught by a local Mexican gang and forced to make some tobacco that was addictive and lucrative.

She said that her father knew that it was not good to smoke too much of that kind of thing, and there were still big hidden dangers at this stage, and if it was not done well, it would kill people, so in order not to make those harmful tobacco leaves, Pera's father deliberately tampered with the key details in the recipe and changed them to other ingredients, and the consequence of this was that the gangster lost a lot of money.

Later, the gang boss uses Pera as a hostage and threatens her father to write down the correct recipe, but at this moment, another gang that had previously bought the fake formula comes to the door, and the two gangs engage in a fierce exchange of fire and a shootout.

Pera and her father fled the chaos to New York State in the New World, where they had heard that it was a city of dreams inhabited by millions of people who would never be found again.

And Pella also has an uncle who works in New York, and they can go to him.

Because the father and daughter were in such a hurry that they had time to take the box containing the formula and some of the semi-finished products with them, and they had nothing on them, and when they met a village on the way, her father saw that Pera was hungry and couldn't stand it, so he sold a piece of tobacco in the box for some money, and fled all the way here.

Yesterday he was targeted for some reason and followed all the way, and Pera's father knew that it must be a member of those gangs.

In order to get rid of those people, they changed vehicles along the way, first going north and then south, deliberately confusing each other, and also changed their clothes twice.

But just when the father and daughter thought they had successfully dumped those people, they were found that night.

When Pera's father heard the commotion, he hid Pella and the box containing the recipe and some half-finished products in the dung pit, and he used it as bait to escape by jumping out of the window, but was shot in the back several times by the gang members and fell from the upper floor.

Poor Pella's father was still breathless, and from his vantage point he could see Wang Lianhao looking out through the crack in the window, so he could only pray to God in his heart, pointing his finger in the direction of the bathroom, and repeating in a muffled voice, "Save my child, save my child."

After Pera finished telling all this, Wang Lianhao was so sad that he felt empathy, choked up and wiped his tears.

Lai Xiaofei rolled his eyes in his heart, but he didn't raise even a trace of sympathy.

Because in his opinion, there are many doubts about the process told by this child, and he remembers the process too clearly, such a big child, his father has just died in front of him, but he can still narrate everything without stumbling at all, and this incident itself is weird!

So she certainly didn't tell the truth, at least not the whole truth.
