Obsessed

What followed was the clearer sound of the speedboat and the siren was already on. Three or four speedboats sailed towards them in a surrounding posture. For a while, the river was as bright as day.

"what happened?"

Chen Ye yelled at the people behind him. There were only two of his subordinates who escorted Qin San away, leaving the man who drove the car just now. Chen Ye turned to look at him with a dazed expression, obviously not yet recovered. Wen Shao had already grabbed him from behind, "Go!"

As long as the police stopped them, there would be danger here at any time.

The distance was too far, and they only heard a few gunshots, like the last struggle before dying, and then there was a solitude, only the torrent of the river rushing away.

Chen Ye's subordinates finally regained their composure, and Wen Shao protected Chen Ye by car and fled. The three of them drove towards the mountain road at high speed.

After turning the first corner, Chen Ye, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said, "Stop."

"Master Ye?"

Hearing Chen Ye's opening, the subordinates were puzzled and asked.

"I told you to stop."

There was no trace of panic in Chen Ye's eyes. He looked at his subordinates and ordered, "Go ahead and get rid of the car."

Chen Ye opened the car door and asked Wen Shao to get out of the car with him, then looked at his subordinates and said, "Be careful when handling, don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, Young Master Ye, you should pay attention to safety."

Of course Wen Shao knew what Chen Ye meant. It would be easy for people to find out by driving away. Qin San must have been arrested. Of course, Chen Ye's two subordinates could not escape either. If they confessed their direction, the police would easily arrest them .

Chen Ye would not take this risk.

The sky has not yet been polished, and after the car has gone far away, there is only silence, and occasionally there are a few unknown bird calls, which are sharp and ear-piercing.

Wen Shao glanced at the terrain. There is only one road here, and the two of them can't take any risks. They can only walk around the mountain to avoid the crowd.

He turned his head and glanced at Chen Ye. Although the light was not very bright, he could still feel his tight lips and slightly pale face. He didn't show the slightest panic in front of his hands just now, but now his face slightly turned pale.

Wen Shao patted him on the shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Chen Ye swallowed, and smiled slightly at Wen Shao, "It's okay, let's go."

The two looked at each other and moved away at the same time. Chen Ye wondered why Wen Shao dodged, but he no longer had the desire to continue searching. Now, for the two of them, how did they escape the police's arrest.

Because the mountain road could not be seen clearly at night, Wen Shao immediately suggested to find a place to rest for a while, and then decide where to go after dawn. Chen Ye also meant the same thing. After the two entered the mountain, they found a hidden place to rest temporarily.

There was silence for a while, only the sound of the wind from the mountains and forests was heard. Fortunately, both of them were wearing coats, and Wen Shao asked Chen Ye to cover his naked skin as much as possible to resist the attack of mosquitoes.

After a while, Chen Ye handed a cigarette to Wen Shao. Wen Shao seemed to be in a trance and didn't pay attention. Chen Ye turned his head and glanced at him. After lighting it himself, he took a puff before passing it to Wen Shao.

"Can your two men be relied on?"

"The two of them are only responsible for sending Qin San away, and they don't know anything else," Chen Ye said in a low voice, "As for Qin San, it depends on whether he is reliable or not."

"His wife and daughter are in your hands?"

Chen Ye hummed and said, "Be prepared."

"But what if he wants to die?"

There was a hint of coldness in Wen Shao's dark eyes, but Chen Ye didn't pay attention, and just said, "Uncle Wei treats him well, he won't be so stupid as to bite back."

In fact, Chen Ye was not 100% sure of these words, otherwise he would not have decided to get off the car at the last minute, and he had to be on guard.

Everything, just wait until dawn.

A tinge of fish belly gradually appeared on the other side of the mountain, and Wen Shao went down the mountain to inquire about the news for Chen Ye. The two made an appointment to meet up somewhere, and as a precaution, Wen Shao asked Chen Ye to stay and wait for the news.

It was almost noon when Wen Shao appeared in Chen Ye's sight. When he approached, Chen Ye saw that he was still carrying a few bags of things in his hand.

He hadn't eaten for almost a day, and Chen Ye didn't feel hungry, so he looked at Wen Shao when he walked up to him and asked, "How is it?"

Wen Shao opened the bag and took out a bottle of water and a few boxes of biscuits and handed them to him, "Eat something first."

Chen Ye didn't ask any further questions. He twisted the boiled water and drank almost half a bottle, then sat down on the floor and started to eat biscuits. Wen Shao sat beside him, rolled up his sleeves from the heat, and said calmly, "Qin San was arrested, but there is no movement now. None, not sure if he has confessed to Song Wei."

"Is there no wind at all?"

"Well," Wen Shao nodded, "I walked around the area, but I didn't feel any signs of something going wrong."

Hearing this, Chen Ye didn't know whether it was self-deprecation or sarcasm, and he said with a half-smile, "People like them really are righteous."

Wen Shao turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "You still have his wife and daughter in your hands, so of course he will be afraid, unless the crime he committed is not serious and can be offset."

"It's a pity," Chen Ye shook his head, "Whether he recruits or not is a capital offense."

"how do you know?"

"Uncle Wei told me," Chen Ye sighed, and said softly, "He killed someone for Uncle Wei, and he is still a police officer."

"Song Wei ordered him?" For some reason, when Wen Shao asked this sentence, his tone was a little stiff, as if his throat was uncomfortable.

"I also heard from Uncle Wei. All I know is that Qin San's shot saved Uncle Wei's life. Later, Uncle Wei asked him to find a place to hide and send him abroad after the wind passed."

Chen Ye didn't hear the people around him speak for a long time. He turned his head and glanced at him, and found that Wen Shao's face was a little pale, as if he was gritting his teeth and trying to hold back his emotions. He touched his palm worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"No," Wen Shao withdrew his hand, avoiding his gaze, "It's okay."

Chen Ye looked at him suspiciously, and was about to ask something when he heard Wen Shao say, "Just in case, let's stay here for a day first, and then we'll see the situation."

When he spoke again, Wen Shao’s voice had returned to calm. There were mountains and forests all around him. The tea tree fragrance in the mountains diffused a faint fragrance at dusk. The sun, like a bird tired from flying, slowly passed over the treetops, The setting sun was falling thinly.

Chen Ye suddenly couldn't understand Wen Shao's appearance like this, but seeing his calm look now, he wondered if he had been dazzled just now, or if it was just a hallucination from the light spots in the woods on his face.

"Then we have to find a house today. I don't want to feed mosquitoes in the forest anymore." Chen Ye hesitated for a while before agreeing to Wen Shao's proposal.

"Okay." Wen Shao nodded.

"After you left, I walked around this place casually. There is a house not far in front. We can go and have a look."

The mountain road was rugged, and it was getting late at night. After walking for almost an hour, I found an extremely simple family not far away.

The two knocked on the door of the host's house, revealing the face of a woman in her 30s.

The two lied that they were lost and hoped to stay overnight.

Because Wen Shao and Chen Ye didn't look like bad guys either, but they were strangers after all, and they checked in in the evening, which made her somewhat hesitant and apprehensive.

After hesitating for a while, he opened the door and invited the two of them in.

Although you can tell from the outside that the conditions of this family are not very good, the house is made of simple wooden boards, like a thatched cottage in ancient times, which reminds people of Du Fu's thatched hut that was broken by the autumn wind. The spider web and the two girls with snot on their faces were also surprised when they squatted there and carefully peeked at the person coming.

What Chen Ye saw and heard at the border in the past few days really exceeded his expectations.

Especially now, when he saw that the place where the family lived was so crude that it couldn't even be called a home, Chen Ye was really moved.

The woman followed and walked in. Seeing the appearance of the two children, she walked over quickly, picked up one in one hand and put it on the bed. The bedroom was not considered a bedroom, but two places were separated by a cloth in one place, and one counted as a bedroom. One bedroom is considered the main room.

The expression on her face was a little embarrassed, and she seemed to be in the embarrassment of being prying into her privacy. She said, "I'm sorry, look, our environment here is too bad..."

"It's okay," Wen Shao said in a considerate manner, without deliberately showing sympathy or pity, he just said normally, "We are also sorry to disturb you, don't worry, we will leave tomorrow."

"Don't bother me, don't bother me," the woman quickly waved her hand, her eyes were restrained when she met Wen Shao, she seemed to be very shy to talk to people, or she had never met someone like Chen Ye or Wen Shao The lodger, whose hands were so constrained that he didn't know how to put them, she said, "It's really easy to get lost here, when you leave tomorrow, I can take you out."

The woman brought two stools for the two of them to sit on, and went to wash the cups and pour water for them. Chen Ye had been standing quietly by the side, saying nothing. The woman is a bit cramped, she is the portrayal of thousands of rural women, simple, kind, and shy in front of outsiders.

The three of them sat in the small space without talking. The two little girls sitting on the bed were obviously a little scared, and called out to their mother in a low voice. The woman gave them a sorry smile before walking over to pick up the two girls. She whispered in her arms, "We're hungry."

"Okay, I'll cook for you, it'll be ready soon." The woman kissed the faces of the two girls, and said to Wen Shao and Chen Ye, "You must have not eaten after walking for so long, you wait, I went to cook."

Before Wen Shao could say anything, he saw the woman go to another room.

Chen Ye turned his head and glanced at him, then at the child on the bed, and said to Wen Shao, "Don't you still have some biscuits, take them out and give them to eat first."

It was only when Chen Ye said this that Wen Shao remembered that he had forgotten what he was carrying in his hand. After being reminded by Chen Ye, he took out the biscuits and cake and handed them to the two children. The older one was almost five years old, and looked at them timidly. , looked at the cake again, but did not dare to take it, Chen Ye smiled gently at her, and asked Wen Shao to unpack the package before handing it to her, "Give it to my sister, one for each of you."

He rubbed the child's hair, the child may think he is very kind, tentatively took the cake and smiled at him.

Wen Shao turned to look at him.

It has been an hour since the woman lit the fire to cook the rice and served the dishes. Because the place is too small, the main room can only be used as a place to eat. The woman set up the wooden table and brought a bowl of steamed eggs and a bowl of fried wild mushrooms. There is a stack of pickles, although they are simple, but the two of them know that this is probably the best meal in a woman's house.

The woman served the two of them with rice and said, "You can eat at ease, you won't be poisoned."

Because summer is the season for the growth of wild fungi, this place has always liked to eat this, but because it is wild, poisoning often occurs.

Wen Shao really likes to eat fungi, and after hearing the woman's assurance, he asked, "Did you go to the mountains to find these?"

The woman nodded, let the two children sit beside her, fed them mouthfuls, and replied, "Yes, I found them this morning, and they are still very fresh. You can try them."

In fact, you don't need to taste it, just smelling it is already very fragrant.

Chen Ye didn't dare move his chopsticks at first, but just ate dry rice, Wen Shao smiled, and whispered in his ear while the woman wasn't paying attention, "It's okay, eat at ease."

He saw that Wen Shao's food tasted delicious, so he no longer had any scruples. Wen Shao put some in his bowl, and Chen Ye ate it with the rice. Indeed, it was very sweet.

It was late at night after dinner, and the woman tidied up a cubicle for the two of them. She said, "This is where my husband and I slept. The children slept in the main room because there was no room. I just wronged you."

"What about your man?" Chen Ye suddenly asked.

From the moment they came in, it seemed that there was only the woman and her two children in the house.

The woman froze for a moment, and the action of tidying the bed stopped for a moment. Chen Ye realized that he had asked something that shouldn't be asked, and was thinking about how to explain it, when the woman said indifferently, "I'm dead, and I did it for others last year." Fortunately, the poison was caught and sentenced to death."

The two were startled when they heard this, and their eyes met, as if something passed in their minds for a moment, but they couldn't catch the trace.

"Our family is too poor, and my man has been sick all the time, so he had to transport drugs for others, but he was caught. It was the first time for him. He didn't even leave any money, so he went to hell."

The woman's calm and indifferent tone when talking about his man made both of them startled, as if she was telling someone else's story, but when she turned around to face the two, she showed such a simple smile again, she said, "You guys also take a rest, you must be tired after walking for a day."

As soon as the woman took a step out of the room, Chen Ye suddenly asked, "Shouldn't there be money to send it?"

The woman froze for a second, then turned around and asked, "What?"

Chen Ye knew that he was impulsive, but he still couldn't help not asking, he said, "Even if your man dies, they will send you a sum of money."

If the drug was found to be sentenced to death for someone else, the drug lord would send someone to send a sum of money to his family as compensation.

After the woman understood what he said, her eyes dimmed. She leaned against the door slightly, her hair falling loosely. She said, "It was [-] yuan as compensation, but it was all taken away by his family."
