The Peerless God of War of the Female President

Xia Guo, Western Regions, an unnamed town near the Northwest Frontier.

The off-road vehicle driven by Yang Chen was slowly driving on a dilapidated road.

This road is the only road in this small town. The original asphalt road is pitted by heavy trucks, and every time a car passes by, a burst of dust will be raised.

There are some low bungalows on both sides of the road. The surfaces of the houses are all covered with dust and look dirty.

Even so, there are still some vegetable and fruit stalls on the side of the road, but those things don't look very fresh, and the surface is also covered with a layer of dust.

The first impression of the whole town is that there is dust everywhere.

Zuo Ran looked at the declining town in front of him, and said with some disappointment: "There is not even a large supermarket here, so there is no way to replenish it!"

Su Mengqi said with a smile: "The food in our car refrigerator is enough for today. We just need to find a safe place to park overnight."

Since it was approaching evening at this time, and it was just in time for the miners to get off work, Yang Chen drove very slowly, looking for a suitable parking position while driving.

Soon, he found a large open area beside the road, so he drove the car to this open area and stopped.

As soon as the car was turned off, Yang Chen felt someone knocking on the car door.

Yang Chen lowered the car window, and found a girl about six or seven years old, trying to reach the car window with her feet up.

Seeing Yang Chen lower the car window, the little girl showed a bit of timidity on her face, and she couldn't help but took two steps back.

The clothes on the little girl were shabby, and her face was as dirty as those of the miners. The two pigtails seemed to have not been combed for a long time, and even the shoes on her feet showed her toes.

"Uncle, let's buy a bunch of flowers..."

The little girl whispered something in a timid voice, not daring to look into Yang Chen's eyes.

Su Mengqi and Zuo Ran had already got out of the car at this time, and the little girl took two steps back carefully, with a bit of fear in her eyes.

The little girl's hands are holding a bouquet of many unknown wild flowers. Although it is not as bright as the ones sold in flower shops, it has a unique natural beauty.

"Little sister, your flowers are so beautiful, sell them to my sister!"

Su Mengqi showed a gentle smile, squatted down and handed a hundred-yuan bill to the little girl.

The little girl looked at the money in Su Mengqi's hand, her eyes and expression showed a desire for the money, but after a moment of hesitation, she shook her head and said softly, "Sister, I don't have any change for you..."

"It's okay, then you don't need to look for it, I will give it to you, my sister likes your flowers very much, can I sell them to my sister?"

The little girl still shook her head, "Dad said you can't take advantage of others, I'm sorry sister, I can't sell you these flowers..."

"I have some change here, here, here it is!"

Zuo Ran took out a 50 yuan note from his body and handed it to the little girl.

Unexpectedly, after the little girl glanced at it, she still shook her head: "Sister, I only sell these flowers for ten yuan..."

"Hey, little sister, you should be happy that we paid a high price for your flowers! Why aren't you happy?"

The little girl looked at Zuo Ran and said seriously: "Sister, I picked this flower from the mountain, and my father said it was only worth ten yuan, and it couldn't be higher."

Zuo Ran asked puzzledly: "You come out to sell flowers, does your family agree? Are they not afraid of your danger?"

After hearing Zuo Ran's words, the little girl nodded first, then shook her head: "I'm too young to work in the mine, I can only sell flowers..."

Su Mengqi shook her head slightly to Zuo Ran, and then asked the little girl kindly: "Your father is a miner, right?"

"Yes……"

Zuo Ran muttered: "The income of a miner should not be low. How could he be willing to let such a young child come out to sell flowers? What a money addict!"

"You are not allowed to speak ill of my father!"

Hearing Zuo Ran's complaints, the little girl suddenly became excited, tilted her head and said to her: "My father is the best father in the world, I won't allow you to speak ill of him!"

"Hey, little sister, which good father have you met who would let his daughter come out to sell flowers?"

"Hmph! You are a bad person, I ignore you!"

The little girl said something angrily, then turned around and left with the flowers.

Yang Chen glared at Zuo Ran, who stuck out his tongue guiltily, and hid behind Su Mengqi.

"The child's father was ill, and I think that's why she came out to sell flowers."

Su Mengqi looked at Yang Chen in surprise: "How do you know her father is sick?"

"She has a very strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine, and several of the medicine smells are used for bone setting, so I guess her father must have broken a bone."

Zuo Ran looked at Yang Chen with admiring eyes: "We can't smell the medicine on her body at all, you can not only smell it, but you can also tell what kind of medicine it is, it's amazing!"

Su Mengqi smiled at Zuo Ran, but the smile was slightly bitter: "His legs were broken back then, and his whole body's bones were broken. He should be more sensitive to bone-setting drugs!"

Zuo Ran muttered resentfully: "I'm sorry, I forgot this..."

Yang Chen laughed at himself: "It's okay, I'm more sensitive to all the smells of medicine, but the bone-setting medicine is stronger."

"Husband, anyway, we have nothing to do now, but how about following this girl to see?"

"That's exactly what I mean, because the life of a miner shouldn't be so difficult."

The three of them followed the little girl for a distance, but the little girl didn't realize it, she was still holding the bouquet in her hand, as if she was looking for the next buyer.

"Xiaowen, are you selling flowers again?"

A middle-aged woman selling steamed buns at a roadside stall greeted the girl.

The girl hummed, but her eyes couldn't help looking at the steaming buns in the woman's cage.

The middle-aged woman understood the girl's eyes, put a few buns into a plastic bag, and handed them to the little girl.

"Haven't you eaten yet? Take it."

The little girl shook her head, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, I'm not hungry."

"Then eat when you're hungry, take it!"

The girl still shook her head, took two steps back, bowed to the woman, and walked away quickly.

"Oh, this kid is as stubborn as his father..."

Yang Chen came over and asked, "Eldest sister, what's the matter with this child?"

"Oh, don't mention it, this child's father was injured in the mine two years ago, and he can't move his lower body. The child's mother also ran away at the beginning of this year. The whole family is supported by this little girl. How pitiful..."

Yang Chen asked with some doubts: "I suffered a work-related injury in the mine, so there should be compensation, so it won't be so hard, right?"

"Compensation?"

The woman sneered disdainfully: "This mine was originally run by the state, but a few years ago, due to environmental problems, the state decided to close the mine, but not long after it was closed, a group of people came and started working again. They don’t insure their workers at all, and if they get injured on the job, they can only consider themselves unlucky!”

Zuo Ran said in surprise, "Private mines? This is illegal! Doesn't anyone care about them?"

"Care? It's easy to say. It's [-] kilometers away from the nearest county seat. Once someone from above comes to inspect it, they will close the mine before they arrive. After the inspector arrives, no one can be found."

Yang Chen frowned, "Even if it's a private mine, you shouldn't ignore the injured workers, right? If you do this, are there any workers to work for them?"

The woman glanced at the three of them and asked, "Are you from the city?"

"Yes, we are donkey friends traveling through the Northwest Front."

"Then I advise you to stop inquiring about the mine, and it's best not to take pictures here, and be careful to get yourself into trouble."

Zuo Ran was a little unconvinced and said, "What? Can't we even ask?"

"I'm also doing it for your own good, the people in this mine—"

Right at this point, the woman suddenly stopped talking, and quickly gave Yang Chen a look, signaling him to leave quickly.

Yang Chen knew that there must be someone coming behind him, and he said immediately: "Eldest sister, fill me with two drawers of buns."

"okay."

The woman was packing buns for Yang Chen, when a long-haired man with an unshaven beard walked up to Yang Chen.

"The RV parked over there is yours?"
