Chapter 303: Liu Hongmei Almost Got on the Tractor
Song Moting looked around. They were surrounded by mountains and were very familiar with the geographical conditions here.
There are very few people here, to put it bluntly, except for some loggers who left some wooden houses in the woods.
Others are prohibited from entering the forest.
The only way out of their current situation is to go around this place, but the distance is too far.
The problem is there is no other way.
Even if the rescuers knew their location, they would not be able to save them.
It was unlikely that rescuers would come down the steep slope of the mountain directly, because the slope was too steep and the jungle was dense. No one would come down from this direction, even if rescuers did come to the valley to look for them.
They also have to go around from other places with flat terrain, and they must design the route clearly so that they will not easily get separated from the rescuers.
Song Moting was calculating the route, while Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking about the rest.
If it hadn't snowed, it might not have been so difficult for them to travel through the mountains, but after it snowed, things were different. The snow was at least above their ankles.
The deepest parts of the woods were probably flooded up to your calves.
It would be unrealistic to walk out with these two feet, because the cotton shoes they were wearing would soak up snow after every two steps.
It won't take long before these feet are frozen.
As a doctor, she knew the serious consequences and didn't want to have her limbs amputated.
The only way is that they have to find a way out.
"I went to pick up some branches. Thank goodness you added some wood to the fire this morning. Otherwise it would have gone out."
Jiang Xiaoxiao broke off some dry branches that must have been struck by lightning last year. They had no problem using them to keep warm.
Song Moting looked around and said, "Gather the firewood and go back immediately. I'll go to the forest to find something to eat."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was just about to say that there was food when she immediately realized that Song Moting was now sober.
His mouth opened, but nothing came out.
"The road in the woods is not easy to walk on. You have to be careful with your shoes. If the snow gets in, you will get frostbite. Come back early."
The winter here is really freezing.
No joke.
It's not snowing today, but the wind is blowing from the north.
The north wind is colder than snow.
Song Moting nodded and instructed Jiang Xiaoxiao with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I'm going to hunt two rabbits or pheasants. They and I used to go up the mountain to hunt often. We'll eat these in the future. Don't worry about food, I'm here for you!"
He looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with hesitation, and the words he wanted to say turned around on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
Since Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, she must have her reasons.
He just needs to protect Jiang Xiaoxiao's safety and keep her safe. If she doesn't want to say anything else, he shouldn't ask.
Jiang Xiaoxiao watched Song Moting turn around and leave.
I don't understand why he is hesitant to speak.
What did Song Moting want to say?
"Don't you have anything to ask?"
Song Moting turned around and looked at her with an unfathomable expression.
"No!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned. Really not!
Looking at Song Moting's back as he left.
etc!
What Song Moting meant was that if he hunted wild rabbits and pheasants, he would have the food.
That's not what I thought it meant.
Damn it, although Song Moting was dazed yesterday, the time he was asleep was definitely longer than when he was awake.
But Song Moting is so smart, how could he not remember rice porridge.
Where does the rice porridge come from?
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed. Did he mean for her not to act rashly?
Or I misunderstood it!
Who cares.
Let’s go back first.
Return to the shelter.
As expected, the tractor driver woke up.
Although he couldn't sit up yet, the driver seemed to be fully awake.
When he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, there was a look of understanding on his face.
"Are you alone? Where is Comrade Song? You saved me. Thank you, thank you so much."
Although the shed is very simple, there are traces of human activity everywhere.
"Don't say that. You encountered this incident because you sent us to the county town. Comrade, where is this tractor usually placed? Who can usually access it?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao did not directly mention the fact that the brake cable was cut.
The driver thought for a moment, "Our team finally bought such a tractor last year. It took me a long time to learn how to use it from several masters in the county. It is a precious thing. On weekdays, the production team leader does not allow people to touch it. It is usually parked in the yard of the brigade headquarters, and many people come into contact with it!
People come in and out of this brigade every day.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless. Indeed, if this tractor was parked in the yard of the brigade headquarters, there would be many people coming in and out every day.
The scope of this suspicion is very large.
There is no conclusive evidence to prove that Fang Peizhong did it.
"Before I left, Xiao Fang asked me about his wife's upcoming birth and asked me when I would be free so that I could take her to the county hospital in case anything went wrong during the birth."
The driver's next words made Jiang Xiaoxiao instantly certain that it was Fang Peizhong who did it.
"Has Fang Peizhong ever touched a tractor?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao lit the fire brighter, and the temperature in the shed rose.
The driver thought for a moment and said, "No! We didn't say a word. I just went to the toilet and asked him to watch the tractor for me for a while. I set off right after I came back. I don't know if I bumped into anything. What happened?"
The time, place and motivation all fit.
It’s just that Fang Peizhong doesn’t like me.
Just because you dislike someone, can you take their life?
Besides, he didn't want to save his own life. Didn't he know that there was a tractor master on the tractor? Would there be Song Moting?
He knows.
Knowing this very clearly, yet still daring to do this, this is simply insane.
The driver also realized that something was wrong.
Why is Jiang Xiaoxiao's question so strange?
"Jiang Zhiqing, why are you asking this?"
They can't hide it anyway, and it's no good for them to hide it.
The driver is the party involved and has the right to know the truth.
At least it was definitely not the driver who wanted to harm them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't come and get killed.
"The tractor's brake cables were cut!"
Turned around to collect the firewood.
I have to collect more firewood.
I was even planning to take off the lining of the quilt, what a pity to waste the brand new cotton my mother bought for me.
I can't collect the cotton in front of others, so I can only find an opportunity later.
The driver was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Cut it off!? Who is so wicked? What deep hatred do you have to do this? These are three lives. No, if I hadn't persuaded Liu Hongmei to come down today, Liu Hongmei would have taken the tractor to the county town today.
That’s four lives, no, five lives.”
The driver had no idea yet.
The story of Fang Peizhong and Jiang Xiaoxiao has only spread within a small circle and has not yet become widely known.
Besides, no one would think that Fang Peizhong could do such a thing.
This is about killing people, not just some other kind of fighting.
The nature is bad.
