Chapter 81 Two Road to Exile 22

In the evening, the temperature slowly dropped and more and more people were on the street.

Before, Shi Xianyu had only been to the parks and hospitals. The road was straight and clean, and there were no people on both sides of the road. Now, following Lin Yuan through the streets and alleys, and going deep into the living area, he found that the oasis not only had an orderly side, but also had a mixed side.

Colorful sunshade cloths extend out of the eaves of the flat earthen houses, boxes and debris are piled up on the ground, and various goods are placed on the gray blankets. Some street vendors are yelling loudly, while others are lying lazy on the ground... The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of sand and soil is blowing towards him, which makes Shi Xianyu feel like he enters a township market.

There were many people in the market, and the order was chaotic. Someone was pulling a truck of goods and rushing around the road. Lin Yuan quickly grabbed Shi Xianyu's shoulder with his eyes and almost avoided the prominent corners of the cargo box on the tow truck. He lowered his eyes and asked her: "Is it okay?"

"It's okay..." she looked around and asked in a low voice, "Where is that person?"

"He is moving in this area." Lin Yuan frowned and looked into the distance, "Maybe we haven't come yet, let's look around first."

Shi Xianyu nodded, "Okay."

Compared with the people here, she looks too smart. Some lazy people rubbed her intentionally or unintentionally when passing by.

Lin Yuan frowned, grabbed her wrist, brought it into his arms, and glanced around him with unhappiness. The people finally became afraid.

Shi Xianyu hugged in his arms and said nothing.

It's a bit uncomfortable, but...it's quite safe.

She gradually got used to it, and in his arms she had the courage to straighten her back, raised her head, and looked at the vendors and goods on both sides of the road calmly.

The things sold here are very strange, such as tuber plants that cannot be called famous, or some crystals and stones, as well as scrap metal parts that were found from somewhere, which are messy.

Lin Yuan stopped in front of a stall selling protective gear.

He took a fancy to a golden mask, and I wonder if it could be changed to half of the mask to cover his half ugly face.

Although he didn't care about the gaze of others, he didn't want his face to scare her. Just as he was about to ask for a price, Shi Xianyu in his arms excitedly pulled his clothes.

Lin Yuan: "?"

Shi Xianyu was really shocked. She pointed to the gold nuggets piled up on the stall and asked Lin Yuan in a low voice: "Is this real gold?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said calmly: "Well, gold has good ductility and is suitable for making protective gear. If you give some material and handicraft fees, the boss can help you make one."

However, the Oasis team has more lightweight and durable protective gear. These gold products are usually only purchased by folk wild teams.

Shi Xianyu's cognition was greatly impacted!

This is gold!

Yellow Chengcheng's gold!

It actually piled up on the street like selling vegetables!

"How much does this cost?" she asked with some slight slight.

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would like ore and couldn't help asking: "What style do you like?"

"No style..." She pointed to the gold on the stall embarrassedly, "Just, just one piece is pretty good..."

Lin Yuan thought for a while, took out a pot of water he brought and handed it to the old man who was looking at the stall: "How much can this pot of water be bought?"

The old man asked him: "What quality?"

"Level B filtering, the team distributed direct drinking water uniformly." Lin Yuan replied.

The old man picked up a good-quality gold bar and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, pointing to the golden mask next to him and said, "Add half a mask and do it according to my face shape."

The old man nodded and agreed, saying, "Come here to pick up the goods at this time tomorrow."

Lin Yuan took the gold bar from the other party and put it into Shi Xianyu's arms, which was quite heavy.

Shi Xianyu was shocked. It seemed that this pot of water was really valuable, otherwise the old man would not have agreed to be so brisk.

...No, no, to be precise, the gold here is too cheap!

"Tomorrow..." She pursed her lips and looked at Lin Yuan with anticipation, "Tomorrow, can I come with you?"

Lin Yuan glanced at her. Although he didn't quite understand why she was interested in gold, he nodded, "Yes."

Shi Xianyu smiled at him and felt happy from the bottom of his heart!

Tomorrow!——Ah! Tomorrow she must bring a lot of water to exchange for gold!

Seeing that she was happy, Lin Yuan couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth.

Yu Guang caught a familiar face, and the smile on his face was put away, and he said in a deep voice: "He is here."

Shi Xianyu was slightly stunned, followed his gaze and saw a lame man with a crutch stopping in front of the stall, looking like he was about to set up a stall to do business.

She looks much thinner than the one in the photo and has a longer beard, but the scar on her face cannot be changed.

Lin Yuan immediately walked over quickly, "Are you Chen Hao?"

The other party was sorting out the goods. When he heard Lin Yuan's voice, he raised his head suspiciously and looked over.

"Who are you?" His expression was full of alert.

Lin Yuan directly explained his purpose: "We are here to ask you for someone. Have you ever been to Qinghe Oasis a few years ago and took away a woman?"

Chen Hao's face became ugly, "Who will remember what happened a few years ago? If you don't buy things, leave quickly. Don't affect my business."

Shi Xianyu hurriedly said, "We are looking for the woman you took away! If there is any clue, please make sure to tell us!"

"I don't know!" Chen Hao rushed people impatiently, "I want to find someone to log in to the search notice myself! I don't know anything, nor do I remember any woman I have brought with me!"

Shi Xianyu didn't expect that he would have such an attitude, and couldn't help but get angry, "How come you can't remember the woman you kidnapped yourself?! Are you afraid that we will settle the score with you so you dare not admit it? Even if you don't admit it, you can't count it! It's obvious that the person was taken away by you!"

The vendors and passers-by nearby all looked over.

"Don't talk nonsense about it!" Chen Hao said impatiently, "Although I retired with injuries, I have never done anything that violates the team's regulations! You have found the wrong person!"

How could you find the wrong one?

The scene when her mother was taken away must have been deeply engraved in Lu Li's mind, so she decided that it was this man who didn't even hesitate at all when she saw the photo.

It's impossible to find a mistake!

Shi Xianyu stared at Chen Hao, trying to find a flaw so as to pry open the man's mouth.

Such people often go through life and death outside, have a tough mouth and a tough temper, so it is probably difficult to be threatened.

She bit her lip, thinking that if she could not force her, she would try to tempt her, so she said, "We can not pursue the matter if you were kidnapped by you before. As long as you can provide clues and tell us her whereabouts, I can give it to you..."

Shi Xianyu pointed at the goods on his stall that were almost painted buckets, "I can fill you with water for free."

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, looking at her and Lin Yuan suspiciously, not sure that they could bring so much water.

He asked cautiously: "What is water quality?"

"It's not lower than level B." Shi Xianyu had confidence in her water. Before she came, she put five hundred buckets of pure water in the space, which was enough.

Chen Hao thought for a moment and asked, "How do I know you are not lying to me?"

Lin Yuan said impatiently: "You have no loss if you lie to you, but if it is true, you will earn a few buckets of water in vain, and you'd better think clearly."

Chen Hao looked entangled and looked at the people around him. He frowned and lowered his voice to Shi Xianyu and Lin Yuan, "I did take a woman from Qinghe Oasis, but it was not kidnapped, she paid me for the freight and hired me to send her to the largest oasis nearby."

Shi Xianyu was stunned.

Why... wasn't it kidnapped?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" She stared at Chen Hao, "Did you meet in Qinghe Oasis?"

"There's no mistake." Chen Hao shook his head, "I remember very clearly that I went there three years ago to recycle resources. At that time, there was not much water in Qinghe Oasis. Many residents moved away, leaving only some poor and sick old people in the city, but they wanted to leave but couldn't. A woman with children came to me and said she wanted to take my car to a larger oasis."

He recalled carefully and said slowly: "The most valuable thing in this world is the pregnant mother. When I saw her holding the child, I immediately agreed. After all, the team has regulations that all interests are not as important as the life safety of the pregnant mother. If she could escort the pregnant mother back to the oasis, the team might also award me a medal, but she disappeared quickly after she arrived at the oasis and did not go to the hospital for the evaluation and testing of the pregnant mother. As for where she is now, who knows..."

"She... is holding the child?" Shi Xianyu was confused. Where did the child come from?

"Yes, a baby." Chen Hao gestured with his hands, "I guess he's less than one year old and I'm still drinking milk."

Shi Xianyu was a little confused. If Chen Hao was telling the truth, would it be Lu Li’s record that missed? Or, Chen Hao remembered it wrongly? Is the woman he brought back Lu Li’s mother?

"The woman told me not to tell anyone where she went, now I've told you all." Chen Hao looked at Shi Xianyu and Lin Yuan, "I hope you keep your promise and give me what you promised."

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "We need to know where she is, and what you said still does not provide any clues."

Chen Hao was slightly annoyed, "Hey! I'm just responsible for sending her over. Can you still care where she stays?! Besides, three years have passed, maybe she has moved to other oasis!"

Shi Xianyu asked: "Then do you know what her name is?"

Chen Hao snorted, "Well, I know, her name is Yu Jing."

"Are you sure it's your real name?" Shi Xianyu asked again. She is like Lin Yuan now, and she doesn't believe in this person. Since a woman is wary, how could she easily reveal her real name?

Chen Hao smiled, with a little smug expression, "I sent her to the oasis. A man at the door picked her up. At that time, he called her name Yu Jing. Later, I glanced at the registration form at the access control office. I secretly glanced at her name, and the name she wrote was Yu Jing."

Shi Xianyu and Lin Yuan looked at each other.

Whether this "Yu Jing" is Lu Li's mother, as long as you go back and ask Lu Li, it will naturally be revealed.
