Chapter 30
Qiao Wan quickly looked away, and ran towards him with his head down.

The black van was driving on the narrow mountain road. At the beginning, it could maintain an extremely fast speed, but the further it drove back, the more muddy the mountain road was, and there were potholes everywhere. For the sake of safety, the speed gradually slowed down.

After driving for another ten minutes, the car finally stopped at a remote path. As soon as the door was opened, three or five big men jumped out of the car and walked around. The mountain road was surrounded by weeds taller than people.

They didn't know what to say in the rain, and they took out the shovels from the car one after another. Four of them left first, and the remaining one pulled the back of the van.

As soon as the car cover was lifted, a young man who was tightly tied up with hemp rope was revealed.

He leaned his head against the car door, and when he heard the sound, he lifted his eyelids weakly, his curled up body was covered with blood and scars, and from his too thin figure and sunken cheeks, it could be seen that he must have been hungry a few days.

But even though he faced a group of ferocious men, and there was no suspense about the situation afterwards, there was no trace of timidity in his eyes. Instead, he was very cooperative and let the big man pick up his back and walk up the mountain.

A few people found a remote open space and started digging pits one by one.

While digging the soil, a man named Zhao He glanced at the boy lying on the ground with some pity, shook his head and said, "Yaoshou, how can such a young child be so tolerant."

"Don't be lazy, dig quickly."

Zhao He sighed, looked up at the dark sky, lowered his head and continued to work.

In the empty mountain forest, the "squeaking" sound of the branches and leaves colliding echoed everywhere. The few men were used to doing farm work since childhood, and they dug a big hole with nimble hands and feet.

Afterwards, they worked together to lift the boy's thin body like a bamboo pole, and threw it into the pit like throwing a sack. Looking at his pale face and bruised lips, they filled the pit with soil without hesitation. .

Zhao He couldn't bear to look at his face, thinking that he wouldn't do this kind of business of killing people and stealing goods, if his family wasn't so poor that he couldn't get rid of it.

On this windy and rainy day, several people quickly filled the soil, and someone stepped on it a few times. It was expected that the boy would not be able to climb out even if his hands and feet were bound, so they left one after another without waiting long.

But Zhao Heliang felt very sorry, and suddenly said on the way: "I seem to have lost my mobile phone, you go first, I will go back and look for it."

Several people did not suspect him, and urged without looking back: "Hurry up, you are the only one who has a lot to do."

Zhao He laughed along with him: "I know, I know."

He watched their backs as they walked away, and hurried back.

When he arrived at the place, he stood in the rain and looked around. After making sure that there was no one there, he dug up the upper layer of soil one by one. A small hole the size of a fist was made in the middle, and then he stopped.

The heavy rain continued, and the young man's face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and after being washed by the rain, it was almost white and transparent. At this time, his eyes were tightly closed, his lips were purple, and he was as quiet as No more anger.

Zhao He had lingering fears in his heart, so he leaned over to put a finger under his breath, felt relieved, fortunately, he was still alive.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, even if he opened an air hole for him, he may not be able to survive. When night falls, even if he does not become food for wild beasts in the mountains, he will die due to his too weak constitution.

Zhao He shook his head. After finishing this series of jobs, his conscience felt more at ease. He thought of his wife and son. Dare this outrageous act.

As for what will happen to this child in the future, there is only so much he can help, and it will only depend on his own good luck in the future.

Just then the phone in his pocket rang.

"What's the point of dawdling, I'll come back when I find it."

Zhao He repeatedly agreed, but just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the young man opening his eyes from the corner of his eye.

The dark eyes made one's heart palpitate, and the calmness and indifference as if he knew he would come back made him shiver involuntarily.

He swallowed hard, didn't look at him again, turned his back and walked quickly in the mountains and forests, but he didn't know that this act of kindness saved his life more than ten years later.

The night near late autumn was a bit humid, coupled with the drizzle and the hot weather, Qiao Wan tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.

She was lying on her side close to the wall, separated by a layer of yellowed mosquito net, and her elder sister's steady snoring sounded in her ears.

Gently propping up her arms, she looked at the moonlight pouring in from the window, with a knot between her brows.

"Still asleep?" Qiao Li turned over, with a bit of displeasure at being woken up in her words.

Qiao Guan was stunned for a moment, and responded with a na-na, got back under the quilt and didn't dare to move again, but kept staring at the ceiling with a pair of dark eyes, until a dog barked on the street, and then fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Qiao Wan didn't get up, she lay on the bed moaning and refusing to move.

After Qiao Min got dressed, she turned around and called her twice, then went out to find Qiao's mother.

In the end, the three women gathered around the bed and measured her with a thermometer. Everything was normal. She had neither a fever nor an injury. What was wrong with her lying on the bed and refusing to get up?
Qiao's mother was in a hurry, and she was anxious to send the child to the hospital.

Hearing this, Qiao Wan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned around, embraced the small pillow and said, "Mom, I'm just dizzy. Maybe I caught a cold in the rain yesterday. Just sleep for a day and don't need to go to the hospital."

Qiao's mother watched her for a long time, and finally believed her words, carefully tucked the quilt up for her, and then went out with eldest sister Qiao Min.

Qiao Guan glanced at the two people walking away, stretched out a thin white arm, and suddenly grabbed Qiao Li who was about to leave.

"Second sister."

Jolie glanced at her and stopped:

"Do what?"

Qiao Wan revealed a rosy face from under the quilt, with the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said flatteringly, "The little pigs in the backyard are going to eat up all the pigweed. If you have time this afternoon, can you go and cut some back?"

When Qiao Li heard this, she stared at her, feeling unhappy.

There are not only many mosquitoes, rats and ants in the mountains, but also you will be injured by sharp thorns when you are not careful when mowing the grass. She doesn't want to make herself embarrassed because of those few broken grass.
