This voice was very familiar, Qiqi looked up abruptly, and it was indeed Ying Yuanbai who made the sound.

Ying Yuanbai originally wanted to go to Aunt Chen's house to talk about the orchard. Aunt Chen was very efficient. He told her yesterday that Aunt Chen helped Ying Yuanbai get in touch today. There were several orchards for him to visit. .

Among them, the orchard closest to Ying Yuanbai is on Daqing Mountain. There are various kinds of fruit trees in the orchard, but the old man in the orchard is not in good health, and his children have settled down in the provincial capital. No one wants to come back to continue. Doing work in the orchard, and urging the elderly to go to the provincial capital to provide for the elderly.

It's just that the old man has always been worried about this orchard. After all, he has planted it for so many years and has feelings for it. In addition, those who want to buy think that the old man will not stay here for long, and they all want to lower the price. The orchard has never been sold.

It's just that when Ying Yuanbai arrived at Aunt Chen's house, he found the house in a mess. After asking, he found out that his grandson Liangliang, who had just arrived a few days ago, was lost, so he hurried to help find someone.

Although Aunt Chen didn't say anything, but Ying Yuanbai heard from other people that Aunt Chen was talking to Uncle Fang in the orchard, and she didn't pay attention for a while, which caused Liangliang to get lost. certain responsibility.

Ying Yuanbai found a route that no one was looking for. According to the understanding of the villagers, whether it was lost or abducted by human traffickers, it is unlikely to take the mountain path.

Children don’t go because they are afraid, and traffickers don’t go. First, they are holding a child. The speed is slow, and the road is unfamiliar, and they are easy to be overtaken.

But Ying Yuanbai didn't think so. The location of Qingxi Village was a bit remote, and human traffickers would generally not come to such a small village, because the people in the village were too familiar with each other, and an extra stranger would be too conspicuous.

What's more, Liangliang has only been here for a few days, and he hasn't been to the market. Not everyone in the village knows that Fang's family has an extra child.

Ying Yuanbai guessed that the trafficker was from the village.

Sure enough, walking along the path, Ying Yuanbai noticed fresh footprints on the ground, which were the footprints of adults.

This side is already at the foot of Daqing Mountain, and people rarely come here, so such a footprint is very suspicious.

Ying Yuanbai didn't call Aunt Chen and the others. First, he was afraid that it would be too late to call and wait for someone to come. Second, he was afraid that he might make a mistake in his judgment. He picked up a dead tree branch and barely used it as a weapon.

Ying Yuanbai walked along the direction of the footprints, and the more he walked, the more familiar he looked, and then he heard a strange sound coming from ahead, as well as a faint smell of blood.

Ying Yuanbai's heart tightened, and he strode over to see that the scene was not what he imagined.

Liangliang was not injured, he was unconscious on the side, and a strange man was beaten to pieces by a cat and passed out.

And that cat was particularly familiar, especially when Ying Yuanbai noticed the bag of pet food put aside, which completely proved the identity of the cat.It's just that in Ying Yuanbai's impression, Qiqi has always been a little cunning, clever and well-behaved cat, completely different from the fierce appearance in front of him.

"Qiqi." Ying Yuanbai couldn't help shouting, the little orange cat that was approaching the man's neck froze all over, and suddenly raised its head to look this way, the ferocious appetite in the round cat's eyes dissipated immediately. few.

"Meow." Qiqi replied subconsciously, with her front feet close together habitually, she raised her head and waited for Ying Yuanbai to come over.

After Ying Yuanbai ran over, he first untied the strange man's belt, tied his hands, and half-rolled his pants down to his knees, so as to prevent him from escaping when he woke up. Then he called Aunt Chen and went to Look at Liangliang's situation.

Ying Yuanbai checked carefully, except for the coma, Liangliang couldn't see any scars on his body for the time being, but Ying Yuanbai didn't feel relieved, instead he became more worried. Liangliang's state was obviously caused by taking medicine and passed out. I don't know if this medicine will cause any serious consequences.

Ying Yuanbai turned his head to look at the strange man beside him, the man was still unconscious at this time, his face was covered with cat scratch marks, it was summer now, he was wearing thin clothes, and his upper body was covered with blood, it looked painful Panic.

Only now did Ying Yuanbai have time to come and see Qiqi, Qiqi had already realized that Ying Yuanbai hadn't come to find him on purpose, and his heart that was still a little excited suddenly turned cold, and he was even more annoyed, lying on the floor sullenly. On the bluestone, Ying Yuanbai didn't even look at him.

Ying Yuanbai guessed the general course of the matter when he saw the wound on the trafficker's body. It was probably that the trafficker took Liangliang to leave this side of the path, but met Qiqi and started fighting for some reason.

"Cough, Qiqi." Ying Yuanbai lowered his voice and tentatively reached out to touch the cat.

As a result, before the hand came close, the cat backed away to avoid him. Ying Yuanbai did not withdraw his hand, but tried to touch the cat again, and Qiqi backed away again.

One person and one cat, you advance and I retreat, Ying Yuanbai suddenly said: "Don't retreat..."

Before Ying Yuanbai could finish speaking, Qiqi subconsciously hid Ying Yuanbai's hand, and fell off the big blue stone with his body empty. On the ground, with a bewildered look.

"It's okay." Ying Yuanbai hugged the cat anxiously, Kiki turned over and bit his wrist, Ying Yuanbai took a breath, he knew that Kiki really lost his temper this time, he took a bite It's a lot heavier than before.

"Meow, meow, ow..." Still not satisfied after taking a bite, Kiki gave another cat punch, but compared to punching a strange man, it was almost the same as touching.

Obviously it was a cat beating someone, but the cat seemed even more aggrieved.

When Aunt Chen and his group came over, they saw Ying Yuanbai squatting aside, guarding the traffickers, hugging Liangliang, and accepting Qiqi's complaint.

"Liangliang." Seeing Liangliang being embraced by Ying Yuanbai, Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief, her feet went limp, and she slumped on the ground.

"Auntie, Liangliang has been found, but you should take him to the hospital for a checkup. I don't know what kind of medicine this trafficker has given." Ying Yuanbai said.

Aunt Chen didn't have the strength to hug him right now, but fortunately there were many people following her, and someone immediately helped her. At this moment, everyone focused on the trafficker, and when they saw Ying Yuanbai tied him up with a belt, they all praised him for doing it. good.

"Isn't this the Hu family kid?" Some people were very surprised when they saw the trafficker's face. Ying Yuanbai didn't know this trafficker, but how could people in the village not know him.

Ying Yuanbai understood the situation after listening to everyone talking. This human trafficker is called Hu Cheng, with a nice name, but he is not a good person. Mom is difficult to deal with, and the people in the village are too lazy to take care of her.

After his mother died, Hu Cheng became obsessed with gambling again. Some time ago, everyone in the village heard that he made a lot of money from gambling. No one thought that he would be able to steal a child today.

"Could it be that you lost your bet?" Someone guessed in a low voice.

However, everyone did not continue to guess, and directly sent Hu Cheng to the police station.

Ying Yuanbai hugged the cat forcibly and followed behind. The little orange cat was struggling in his arms. Someone beside him looked at him and said, "This cat is not familiar with it. It is so disobedient. Why do you take him back? Why don't you just throw it away?" Isn't it good here?"

Before Ying Yuanbai could speak, he felt Qiqi's whole body tense, he hugged him tightly calmly, stroked his hair, and ignored the speaker.

The man was bored, and someone beside him gave him a look, so he didn't speak any more.

On the contrary, Aunt Chen came back to see Qiqi, remembered Hu Cheng's injuries, and said in surprise, "Yuan Bai, was it Qiqi who scratched him?"

What she said brought everyone's attention back to Hu Cheng. They were all angry just now and didn't pay much attention to Hu Cheng's situation. Now, everyone was shocked.

Hu Cheng was about to be scratched all over, and there were bloody wounds everywhere. At first they thought it was Ying Yuanbai who beat him up, and they lamented that Ying Yuanbai was ruthless, but if it was scratched by a cat, looking at the wound on Hu Cheng The wound, many people looked at Qiqi with a little fear, and the eyes of the person who let Ying Yuanbai throw the cat down just now were even more frightened.

Facing such a gaze, Qiqi was very calm. If he had not been taken away by Ying Yuanbai after breaking through the barrier, he should have faced such a gaze long ago.

Humans should look at him with such fear.

"No, I hit the injury with a tree branch." Ying Yuanbai took the matter on himself.

Hearing what Ying Yuanbai said, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, one by one lamented that Ying Yuanbai was ruthless, but this kind of human trafficker just wants to be ruthless, but some people looked at Hu Cheng's injury and reminded Ying Yuanbai: "You have to be careful. I'm afraid that if he goes in, he will sue you and ask you to pay for the medical expenses."

Hu Cheng's father was not a good person either. He had a bad reputation in the village when he was young, and when he was old, people would not even pass his house.

Ying Yuanbai said that he would pay attention.

Back home with the cat in her arms, Qiqi jumped out of Ying Yuanbai's arms as soon as she got home, and pointed her butt at Ying Yuanbai, as if she was still angry.

Ying Yuanbai couldn't help laughing, and coaxed a few more words, only to see that Qiqi's ears were pricked up, and his tail wagged unconsciously, but he still looked uncomfortable, and Ying Yuanbai would not be used to it at ordinary times. He, but Qiqi has done a great deed today, Ying Yuanbai is more patient.

"You did a great favor today, how about this, the previous punishment of deducting wages will be offset by this, and your wages will still be counted." After Ying Yuanbai finished speaking, Qiqi turned around suddenly, Maoyan frowned. Bright.

"Since you like eggs so much, I'll give you a share of free eggs a day." Ying Yuanbai said, "But you also have to work hard, don't just sleep on your stomach when you have nothing to do, the last time the bean sprouts were stolen, I didn't find it."

Hearing the previous sentence, Qiqi was still very excited, a little wanting to test Ying Yuanbai's bottom line again, but when he heard the latter sentence, he immediately calmed down.

After calming down the cat, Ying Yuanbai got up and went to the orchard. He originally wanted to go with Aunt Chen, but he knew that Aunt Chen must have no thoughts recently, so he simply went there by himself.

When Ying Yuanbai arrived at the orchard, his eyes lit up.

The location of this orchard is a little bit off, but the fruit trees inside are not generally good, with luxuriant branches and numerous fruits.

Ying Yuanbai took a closer look, and it turned out that peach trees, plum trees, apricot trees, and jujubes were all ripe for him to recognize. Ying Yuanbai also saw a longan tree in the distance. Longan is not mature yet.

The old man who contracted the orchard was called Fang Rui, and his attitude was very kind. When he saw Ying Yuanbai, he advised Ying Yuanbai not to contract the orchard: "Don't look at me taking care of the fruit trees as if it's easy, but it's actually very tiring. It's a lot of work. Not to mention, this orchard will not have a good harvest, you worry about having no money, but when the harvest is good, you have to worry about the price in the market, if you can’t sell it at the price, you will lose money.”

"I wanted an orchard when I was a child, and now I can realize my dream. I don't really care if I make money or not." Ying Yuanbai also replied seriously.

Fang Rui also had a vague understanding of Ying Yuanbai's affairs, and he didn't say any more after hearing what he said. He was on the verge of dying, and being entangled in ordinary affairs was too restraining himself.

Fang Rui began to introduce the orchard to Ying Yuanbai little by little. His orchard was very large, with almost [-] acres of land, and there were many kinds of fruits planted in it, so many that he couldn't manage it at all.

"In the past, the old woman was still there, and the two of us were reluctant to find someone to help. Later, when the person left, I couldn't take care of it alone, and I was lazy to hire someone to do it. Let it fend for itself. Those fruit trees Many of them were planted when they were young, and they planted whatever they wanted without any planning, so they planted many kinds of fruit trees, but the results were not easy to sell.”

"Our place is remote, and people don't want to harvest the fruit of a few trees. If you pick it up and ship it out, the cost will be huge. It's better to just rot on the tree. After all, the whole orchard is really used. This side is over, and that side is close to the mountain, people are old and lazy to climb, if you want, go and have a look." Fang Rui said.

Ying Yuanbai took a look, and found that Fang Rui's orchard had many kinds of orchards, and the fruit trees were not young, and the fruit bearing rate was very high. Even if they were talking about self-defeating fruit trees, they seemed to be in good condition.

It's just that Ying Yuanbai hasn't seen other orchards yet, and he can't be sure if other ones are suitable for him, so he left the orchard and went to another orchard to have a look.

Looking around, Ying Yuanbai found that the orchard in Daqingshan was the most suitable for him. It was close to home and easy to take care of. There was no one to take over.

When Ying Yuanbai went to visit the orchard, he wondered if it was because Ying Yuanbai was young. There was an orchard that asked Ying Yuanbai to take over the staff, and Ying Yuanbai left on the spot.

Ying Yuanbai didn't waste time, and went directly to the old man. Fang Rui didn't expect Ying Yuanbai to make a decision so quickly. Seeing that Ying Yuanbai was so straightforward, he also said directly: "My orchard still has 20 years left. The contract period, 20 will be taken."

This price can be said to be very cheap, and Ying Yuanbai was also surprised when he heard it.

"You will definitely take good care of this orchard. If those people get it, none of these trees will be kept, and they will all be sold." Fang Rui saw Ying Yuanbai's surprise, and said lightly, "These trees are all It was planted by me and the old woman with a little bit of hard work, and it is the value of my life. Even if I am gone in the future, keeping these trees here will remind people of me."

The price of 20 is really low. For Ying Yuanbai's bank deposit, this amount of money is not much, but for the system account deposit.

Ying Yuanbai fell silent as he looked at his hard-earned 9 yuan.
