Chapter 70 The Stranger Who Entered the Mountain

Because he wasted a little more time in Yang Wei's store, when Li Shaoan and Qian Xiaolin arrived at the bus station, the shuttle bus to Yangqiao Town just drove out of the station, and they squeezed in at the last moment.

The minibus arrived at the forks leading to Tieshan Bay, stopped, and the driver climbed to the roof of the minibus and handed down the fertilizer on it.

When the minibus left, only Li Shaoan and Qian Xiaolin were left at the fork in the road, as well as more than a dozen bags of fertilizers.

"Brother Shaoan, you are watching the fertilizer here, I'll bring the ox cart."

"Go, I'm waiting for you here."

Not long after, Qian Xiaolin brought the ox cart from the family at the fork in the road. The two worked together to carry all the more than ten bags of fertilizer on the ground onto the ox cart, and then sat on it himself.

It was already late, the sun was hanging on the ridge, and only the last ray of afterglow was left in the sky. Under the guidance of the sunset, the two embarked on the road back to Tieshan Bay.

Along the way, Qian Xiaolin seemed very happy, and hummed a few words of casual tone from time to time, and asked Li Shaoan this and that from time to time.

"Brother Shaoan, do you think if you have a tricycle in the future, won't you use a ox cart?"

"That's of course. No matter how fast the tricycle is, it is no less than the ox cart. The key is that both ox and humans will be tired, but machines are tireless. Machines replace labor and animal power, which is an inevitable trend in the progress of society."

"Brother Shaoan, you are so knowledgeable that you can speak everything well. I just like to listen to you."

"You girl, why do I always think you are different from Qian Xiaolin in normal times?" Li Shaoan was in a good mood along the way, and couldn't help but joke, "You shouldn't be an alien, and then you turned into Qian Xiaolin."

"Li Shaoan, do you start floating around after a little bit of good to you?" Qian Xiaolin suddenly opened her almond eyes and her eyebrows were raised, and she looked fierce.

Li Shaoan knew that she was deliberately joking with herself. She didn't hold her back for a while and covered her mouth and laughed, "It's not wrong now, you are the real Qian Xiaolin."

Qian Xiaolin suddenly became delicate again, which was the shyness that was unique to her daughter's family. She buried her head and complained: "Brother Shaoan, you really hate it!"

After the two chatted, the sun had completely set. The mountain road was dark and there was only a little starlight illuminating the mountain road under their feet.

The two of them are now about halfway through their positions, and they can return to Tieshan Bay after walking halfway through.

At this moment, a shadow seemed to appear on the mountain road ahead.

"Brother Shaoan, see if there is someone in front of you?" Qian Xiaolin suddenly became nervous. It was already dark, so who else would walk on the mountain road?

"Don't be nervous, let's chase you and have a look." Li Shaoan just thought he was a villager from Tieshan Bay, and wanted to go forward to see who it was, and then pulled the ox cart and took it back together.

"The fellow villagers in front of you wait!"

Li Shaoan urged the ox cart to chase forward, and the figure in front stopped after hearing the shout. Two minutes later, Li Shaoan and Qian Xiaolin successfully caught up with a night walker.

However, what surprised Li Shaoan and Qian Xiaolin was that this person was a strange face he had never seen before, not a villager in Tieshanwan.

This person should be less than 30 years old. He has a standard national face and is quite tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and has a burly figure. Overall, he should feel very powerful. He is not the kind of weak person.

"Brother, you are walking on the mountain road alone. Where are you going?" Qian Xiaolin asked.

The man replied, "Go to Tieshan Bay."

"What are you doing in Tieshan Bay? Do you have relatives there?" Qian Xiaolin asked again.

"No."

Qian Xiaolin was very surprised, "If you don't have any relatives, then why are you going into the mountain?"

"I heard that Tieshanwan is a famous poor village in the villages, so I just want to go and see it."

Li Shaoan invited, "It's dark, and it's very dangerous to walk the mountain alone. Why don't you just take our ox cart into the mountain together?"

"Okay, thank you, then." The man simply agreed.

Li Shaoan reached out to show his friendship, "My name is Li Shaoan, and her name is Qian Xiaolin, both of them are from Tieshanwan."

The man came over and held Li Shaoan, "My name is Chen Baozhong."

In this way, this man named Chen Baozhong followed Li Shaoan and Qian Xiaolin's ox cart into the mountain. The three of them were a little restrained at first, and they didn't know what to talk about. The atmosphere was a little silent for a moment.

"Are you going to the city to buy fertilizer?" Seeing a pile of fertilizers placed on the ox cart, Chen Baozhong took the initiative to find the topic and said.

Li Shaoan nodded and said, "Yes, but the road from Tieshanwan to the county town is really hard to walk. Just buying a fertilizer will take a whole day."

"I really feel this." Chen Baozhong agreed: "I thought it would take me a long time to walk into Tieshan Bay from the fork in the road, but later I realized that I was wrong and it was a bit far. If I hadn't met you two, I would have never been able to reach Tieshan Bay until midnight."

"Since you are not from Tieshanwan and have no relatives and friends in Tieshanwan, why do you have to enter the mountain late at night?" Li Shaoan asked.

Qian Xiaolin suddenly became alert. This person is strong and has unknown origin. He can't be a fugitive, right? Could it be that it was such a coincidence that she and Li Shaoan met.

"Because I want to change the current situation of poverty and backwardness in Tieshan Bay." Chen Baozhong said with a smile.

Hearing this sentence, Li Shaoan was stunned. Isn’t this exactly the same as what he said at the beginning? It seems that Chen Baozhong in front of him has the same idea as him.

In an instant, Li Shaoan seemed to have found a confidant and was very excited. In this vast world, it was so rare that it was to meet someone with the same ideal as him.

Hearing Chen Baozhong's answer, Qian Xiaolin felt alert and said, "Brother Chen, you and Shaoan Ge actually have the same idea. Shaoan Ge returned to Tieshan Bay from a big city to change the backward appearance of our Tieshan Bay."

Chen Baozhong showed joy in his eyes. His thoughts were the same as Li Shaoan. Unexpectedly, on the first night he came to Tieshanwan, he met a friend with the same ambition.

The two seemed to be close friends for many years. At this moment, they only regretted meeting each other too late, and couldn't help but talk about their common ideals on the ox cart.

"Brother Shaoan, in your opinion, what causes the poverty and backwardness of Tieshan Bay?"

"The three feet of ice is not cold for a day, and the poverty situation that is difficult to recover in Tieshan Bay is not formed in one day. There are many reasons for this, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, from public to private."

"Oh? It seems that the Shaoan brothers should have a very detailed understanding of the current situation of Tieshan Bay, otherwise they would not have said such a global perspective."
