Chapter 65 Crossing the Mountain Stream

Xu Li's hands were injured and he couldn't lift Wang Laosi up, so he had to say to Xue Dashan: "Help me up quickly! Wang Laosi, I saved you just now to save myself. We are tied together. In that situation Come on, if we want to fall, we will fall together, and neither of us can escape, that's all right, get up quickly, and treat your father better when you go home in the future, even if you repay me!"

Wang Laosi nodded repeatedly.

At this time, everyone had been delayed in this mountain stream for more than an hour. They asked Mr. Xue that there was no more danger ahead, and everyone did not pick up the broken rope. Anyway, there were all ropes in the quarry on the mountain. Time to get a few more.Zhao Guoqing originally wanted Xu Li to rest for a while, but Xu Li refused.It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still about half of the way to the mountain. If we didn't walk quickly, we might not be able to reach the quarry in the middle of the night, and the beasts in the mountain might also come out by then.

Everyone went on the road again, stopping and stopping along the way. Even Zhao Guoqing felt his legs were filled with lead. Only Xu Li was still full of energy. Exhausted man.

The sun finally put away his last ray of light, and the whole mountain was shrouded in darkness. In order to save time, everyone walked on the path in the mountain forest. A few stars in the sky shone on the ground through the dense leaves, like a few stars scattered on the ground. Some silver beads.

"Secretary Xue, how far is it from the quarry?" Zhao Guoqing wiped off the sweat from his face, leaning on an impromptu walking stick and asked Xue Laoer.

Although Xue Laoer grew up in the countryside, he has never suffered from this crime, especially after becoming the village party secretary and contracting the quarry, he has to take a car for a journey of more than 5 minutes. The amount of exercise today is probably enough With the amount of exercise he usually does in a year, he is already out of breath. "It's still four or five miles away! It's almost... here!"

Xu Li was also listening, and heard that there are still four or five miles away, and it usually takes less than half an hour to get there, but now...  Look at the people behind them, they all seem to have just been fished out of the water, and they have to rest every step they take. If they go on like this, let alone half an hour, they may not be able to reach the quarry even at dawn. "Secretary Xue, call the people in the quarry and ask them to pick us up. We can't walk anymore with these things on our backs."

Xue Laoer shook his head and said, "I called early, but... there is no signal at all in this damn mountain!"

While the big guy was talking, he suddenly saw a bright light flashing not far away, and then more bright lights continued to flash. Although it was about a mile away from him, Xu Li could still tell that it was a flashlight. "Secretary Xue, hurry up, someone is coming! Quickly shake your flashlight to send them a signal!"

Seeing that someone finally came to pick them up, the rest of them sat down on the ground one by one, never wanting to get up again.After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the two groups finally joined together.The leader saw Xue Laoer, and said: "Boss Xue, you are here! You are exhausted. Brothers, quickly put their things on your back and help them, let's go back to the quarry first!" After finishing speaking, he continued Pass Xue Laoer's back, and help Xue Laoer go forward.

At this moment, Xue Lao Er only felt that the two legs were not his own, so he could only move forward step by step with the support of that person. "Second brother, thank you for coming to pick us up, otherwise we might not be able to reach the quarry tonight!" After speaking, he pointed at Xu Li and Zhao Guoqing and said, "That is Xu Li, the assistant to the mayor of our township, and the other This is Captain Zhao Guoqing of the County Criminal Police Team. Your fourth uncle is also here."

After speaking, he said to Xu Li and the others: "This is Wang Changshui, the deputy director of our quarry. Changshui is here to take care of me when I'm not around!"

Wang Changshui nodded to Xu Li and Zhao Guoqing, which was regarded as a greeting.Turning around, he turned to Wang Laosi and said, "Fourth Uncle, why are you here? The mountain road is so difficult, if you bump into something, I can't explain it to my old man!"

Under the support of the two of them, Wang Laosi took a few breaths, and said: "Isn't it because your old man doesn't trust you and insists on letting me come. That's good, you have nothing to do, but let your fourth uncle and I I was exhausted and almost fell into the mountain stream, if it wasn't for Assistant Xu, you wouldn't have seen your fourth uncle!"

"What's the matter? By the way, is the mountain stream you're talking about the Yingzui Mountain? We went to see it, and it was impossible to pass there. We also cut down a few big trees to build a pontoon bridge. Who knows how thick a person is?" The big tree was thrown down and disappeared after a few bubbles, so we had no choice but to come back, or we would have gone down the mountain a long time ago!"

"Isn't that the mountain stream? We built a ropeway with a rope. Who knew that when Assistant Xu and I came over, the rope broke suddenly, and Assistant Xu and I fell down!" Wang Laosi still had lingering fears when he said this.

"Ah, then how did you get up here?" Wang Changshui was also nervous when he heard it. After all, he was his fourth uncle, and he followed him up the mountain because he wanted to see him. If something happened, he might not have a good time in his life.

"Assistant Xu is amazing. He held onto the stone wall behind my back. Captain Zhao and the others put down the rope so we could go up. Assistant Xu is my savior. When I arrive at the quarry in a while, you have to repay him for me!" Mr. Wang The four pairs never forget Xu Li's life-saving grace.

"Fourth Uncle, don't worry. Assistant Xu, thank you for saving my Fourth Uncle's life. I, Wang Changshui, will be useful in the future. Just open your mouth, and I will say nothing!" Wang Changshui said to Xu Li.Moreover, Wang Changshui had noticed Xu Li a long time ago. The others were so tired that their legs were shaking. Even the policemen were out of breath. Only Xu Li insisted on walking alone without the help of others. And the steps are firm and strong.

"Thank you, if we hadn't insisted on going up the mountain, your fourth uncle wouldn't have encountered such a thing, and it's all because of us." Xu Li shook his head and said.

Wang Changshui was chatting with Xu Li, but he pinched the hand supporting Xue Laoer, Xue Laoer almost cried out, but when he looked up and saw Wang Changshui's fierce eyes glaring at him, he didn't dare to say anything , Just walk with your head down.

There were more than 09 people who came out with Wang Changshui. The big guys carried their things on their backs and helped them all rush to the quarry.But even so, it was already 30:[-] in the evening when everyone arrived at the quarry. Everyone was so tired that even Zhao Guoqing sat there for a long time and didn't recover. He was still thinking about handling the case, so he could only eat a simple meal After that, the big guy slept on the Chase bunk on the mountain.
