Ten diligent days: the fields are still

At the farm, Qi Rong and his nine brothers came in a mighty procession.

The farmer opened the fence gate and warmly invited them in.

The man who had just stopped the car couldn't help but complain when he saw Qi Rong, "You're too slow! They've already entered the mountains!"

Qi Rong said helplessly, "I have no choice, no choice. Have you seen them? Are they okay?"

The man led everyone deeper into the farm. "It's not good. That group injected Yuan Lai and Jiang Dunhao with snake venom."

"Ah?" the brothers exclaimed, "Can they still survive?"

The man explained, "She's still alive, but her language system is probably useless. They used a snake venom they should have developed themselves. It's from a type of viper called the emerald viper, and it's a neurotoxin. Luckily, I got there in time and secretly gave the medicine given to me by the niche to Yuan Lai. I wonder if the magic can offset it."

"Who is under the niche? Is he reliable? The snake venom developed by oneself should be kept secret, right? How could there be an antidote under the niche?" Zhao Yibo was worried that the drug and toxin would react chemically, making the situation worse.

Li Gengyun agreed, "Yes, there are several types of snake venom. If you use it wrong, it could be... a death warrant."

Zhuo Yuan held Li Gengyun's shoulders. He said the three words "death warrant" very lightly, but they were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

"Then let's go rescue them quickly." He Haonan said, taking off his sun-protective jacket and tucking it around his waist. "It won't be long before we can catch up!"

The man led everyone into the wooden house and prepared some food, drinks, and some packages.

"There's no point in being impatient. I guess they want to go directly abroad from the border. They'll definitely have to cross mountains and rivers, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"We've already called the police," Li Hao said confidently. "Director Yang told us in the group chat that these two people are the suspects who frequently stole children some time ago. The police have formed a joint investigation team."

Lu Zhuo distributed the packages on the table to everyone, "It's better to be prepared. Take them first."

Zhao Xiaotong said, "The mountain is so big and the forest is so deep. Without a detailed route map, the chances of encountering them are very small. Forget saving people, we might even get killed in there."

Chen Shaoxi and Wang Yiheng looked at each other and pinched their arms. "I've never felt my arms were so thin."

The man pulled out a map from the drawer. "I have the map. I bought it from a local hunter for a high price."

Spread out the map, and you will see that the routes up the mountain are clearly marked. It is clear which route is easy to walk on, which route has traps, and which route has wild beasts.

Everyone walked closer, their eyes shining, "What a clear picture."

The man pointed to the location of the boundary marker and said, "The border is very long. There are two shortest routes out of the country. This one collapsed due to rain a few days ago, burying part of it. The other one is intact."

Qi Rong remained silent throughout the entire process, but at this moment he said, "They will take the collapsed route first, and they might change routes midway to disrupt the view."

The brothers were shocked again, "So exciting."

The man nodded. "It's not impossible. I'm only responsible for delivering the medicine. You can figure out the rest. I should go do my work now."

Qi Rong saw the man out and said, "Su Deyi, if you see him under the niche, thank him for me."

The man waved his hand and said, "Go and save them."

"What do we do next?"

Qi Rong sat on the stool and said, "Wait, wait for an opportunity."

"Ah? If you don't go now, big brother will be beaten to a pulp."

"Boss Qi, are we really not going to chase them right away?"

Qi Rong drank a sip of water calmly and said, "There's no point in worrying. Just rest assured. You'll be tired tonight."

Here, Jiang Dunhao took the pill and felt his mind was exceptionally clear. He could even speak again. "Where did you get the medicine?"

Yuan Lai whispered, "The man just gave it to me."

"You are so brave, you dare to eat a stranger's things."

Yuan Lai chuckled, "Let's try our best. I see that man is slovenly, but he has a gourd on his waist and is winking at me. It's obvious that he's here to help us."

The gangster heard the sound, turned around, and looked at Yuan Lai in surprise, "You little girl, you have such a strange skeleton! You're fine after two injections."

He was about to give Yuan Lai the third shot, but Yuan Lai quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Brother, brother, since the snake venom is useless to me, don't waste it. I can't understand you anyway."

The bandit thought about it and thought Yuan Lai was right. He casually threw the baby into Yuan Lai's arms and said, "Then you take care of the child. If you get caught, just say you know nothing."

Fine, fine, they were determined to make her the scapegoat! But there was nothing she could do. She had to bow her head under the eaves.

"Hey!"

The other gangster hung up the phone with a unhappy look on his face. The two men stood further away and talked for a long time with their heads down.

"The boss had something urgent to do today and took everyone away. We can't pick them up for now. Let's go to the town ahead to rest first."

In the afternoon, a tour group passed by, mostly elderly people, and a few young people. There were at least thirty people in the group who visited the farm.

The brothers were lying at the door watching the fun, when suddenly a puppy jumped out of the bus, wagging its tail and sniffing around.

"Red envelope?! Do you think that's a red envelope?" Wang Yiheng patted Li Gengyun beside him.

Others poked their heads out to look.

"Where's the red envelope? Did I see it wrong?"

"That dog looks like a red envelope!"

"All dogs look like this, right?"

"How is that possible? There's no way Hong Bao could have come this far to find us!"

"But apart from the red envelopes, what dog would be so excited to see us!"

Under the brothers' shocked gazes, Hongbao rushed towards them as if he had seen a relative, and slapped Zhuo Yuan's pants with one claw.

Everyone squatted down and started talking incoherently, "Red envelope, do you have wings?"

"No, it should be equipped with a positioning radar."

"Oh my god, the people there must be going crazy."

"We haven't had time to check our phones yet."

“There’s no signal in the mountains.”

"Red envelope! Red envelope! How did you get it?"

Qi Rong, who had closed his eyes for a nap, stood up and picked up the red envelope. "The time we've been waiting for has come. Let's go."

So the brothers joined the tour group halfway and followed the tour guide to the next stop.

All expenses were reimbursed by Qi Rong.

The tour guide frowned when he saw the red envelope in Qi Rong's arms. "Let's be clear, first of all, we don't have a hard and fast rule against bringing pets, but you are responsible for your pet throughout the trip. If it gets sick, gets lost, or bites someone, it will have nothing to do with our travel agency."

Qi Rong smiled slightly, "The liability exemption agreement has already been signed with your travel agency."

"Okay, then let's go to our next stop. Our next stop is Menglong Town, a unique town in our southernmost part. Other travel agencies don't have this kind of route, right? Yeah, those popular routes are too crowded, and we specialize in a niche area! There's no forced purchases, buy whatever you want. There's also a temple nearby, so everyone can go and pray!"

The tour guide spoke very clearly, but everyone was confused.

Yuan Lai and Jiang Dunhao had already arrived in a small town. The bandits took them into a house in the town, which seemed to be arranged by the insiders, a family of three.

There are two lifelike stone sculptures of peacocks squatting at the door.

The little girl, her face covered in mud, smiled and opened the door to welcome them in.

The bandits whispered a few words to the couple, and the woman took the child with a smile and ran to the inner room to take care of him.

The man pulled Jiang Dunhao into another room and changed him into local clothes.

The little girl took Yuan Lai to another room and opened the wardrobe, which was filled with distinctive ethnic costumes.

Yuan Lai forced himself to remain calm and said, "Little boy, can you understand what I'm saying?"

The little girl nodded, "I understand."

"Then tell me where this is?"

"Menglong Town."

"Do you know those two men?"

The little girl continued to nod, "I know her!"

"What are their names? Where do they usually come from?"

"I don't know." The little girl stuffed a pile of clothes into Yuan Lai's hands and motioned Yuan Lai to change into them.

Yuan Lai did as he was told. "Then tell me you know him."

"Every day, many people give me money, and I always say I know them. If you give me money, I know you too."

Yuan Lai had no money on him, so naturally he couldn't come up with a penny.

"I have no money."

"Then I don't know him." The little girl turned around and ran out to play.

Yuan Lai's attempt to get the point across failed, and he was instead tricked. Feeling very upset, he shouted loudly towards the ceiling.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

I'm still feeling so depressed in my dreams. What kind of crappy lucid dream is this? Besides knowing I'm dreaming, I can't control anything!
