"Beautiful and kind Lady Sylvia, you're really an angel. Thank you very much for your help.”
"Oh, Sen, you don't have to be so polite. We're already friends, aren't we?”
"It is my greatest honor to be friends with an angel.”
"Sen, I didn't expect us to get along so well. You know my address, right? You're always welcome to visit my house.”
"Miss Sylvia, if there's a chance, I'll definitely go.”
A red car stopped beside a dilapidated road. Leng Sen, Chicken Heart, and the others stood at the side and said goodbye to Sylvia.
Of course, the most important thing was Leng Sen's farewell.
After half an hour of driving, they arrived at their destination. In just half an hour, Leng Sen deliberately catered to Sylvia and was also regarded as a confidant.
Sylvia had never thought that she would meet such a special Chinese man early in the morning. His observation, humor, and knowledge were all admirable.
The only pity was that he said that he was just a poor person and had never gone to school.
Otherwise, Sylvia would have recommended him to work at Xiangjiang University. He would have been more than qualified to be a teaching assistant, let alone a teacher.
Fortunately, with Li Changjiang's dying look as an excuse, Sylvia didn't want to keep talking. Two minutes after saying goodbye, the car started and left...
Chicken Heart, Li Changjiang, Chang Man, and the others looked at Leng Sen as if they were looking at a god.
In their opinion, it was simply too heaven-defying to be able to speak in foreign languages.
Moreover, Leng Sen and the woman had been chatting non-stop along the way. Although they didn't understand a single word, they could tell how awesome Leng Sen was from the woman's " reluctant " look!
Since when did a big boss in big business have such knowledge?
Unbelievable, it was unbelievable…!
For a moment, the few of them felt that they were more than a head shorter than Leng Sen. It was not entirely because of his loyalty and skills, but more because of the language they could not understand.
"Let's go. We'll reach Tiaojing Ridge if we take this path.”Leng Sen didn't care about their thoughts. He pointed at the rugged path and wanted to carry Li Changjiang on his back.
"Brother Sen, I'll do it."
"Yeah, Brother Sen, we brothers will do it.”
How could the chicken heart and liver tire Leng Sen out? The two of them almost rushed to Li Changjiang's back. If it wasn't for Chang Man protecting him from the side, Li Changjiang would have fallen to the ground.
Leng Sen didn't insist. He glanced at the path and led the way.
The cement path was not long. After walking less than 500 meters, the road condition changed and became a mixture of rocks.
As they walked further, they could already see houses and people in the distance.
There were stone houses, dilapidated wooden houses, brick houses, and small buildings that were no taller than two stories.
Smoke rose into the sky. It seemed that someone was still cooking.
Some of them were dressed in rustic Chinese tunic suits, green work clothes, and even military coats.
To be honest, if he didn't know that he was in Xiangjiang City, he might have felt that he had come to a farm in the 1970s or 1980s, or a shanty town in the new century.
Seeing this scene, Chicken Heart and the others were confused and muttered,""Is this Xiangjiang?"
"Let's go. This place is the most suitable for our current situation.”
Leng Sen continued forward, entering the real " Jingtiao Ridge " area.
The reason why Tiaojing Ridge was called 'Ridge' was because there were many mountain paths here, and they were rugged and complicated.
The ground was paved with stone slabs, and there were all kinds of houses. They were also built in a very strange way, with all kinds of appearances.
Of course, there was one thing in common, which was that the quality was not very good. The best was a two-story building, which was no different from some large families in the countryside.
Many women were holding buckets and washing boards as they washed at the entrance of the house.
The men were either carrying farming tools or strolling on the stone road with free hands.
This scene made Chicken Heart and the others feel both cordial and depressed. Wasn't Xiangjiang full of gold?
This gave them the feeling that they had returned to their hometown.
Moreover, the houses in their hometown were much better than the wooden houses here.
"Don't be so disappointed. Tiaojing Ridge is the most backward area in Xiangjiang City. Other places are different."
"Let's settle down first. After that, I'll bring you guys to experience it.”Leng Sen understood their feelings very well and comforted them as they walked.
"Is that so?"
"Sen, are you serious?"
"That's good."
Hearing this, the two brothers 'moods instantly improved.
They were really afraid that the entire Xiangjiang City would be like this. If that happened, they would have no hope of making a fortune.
On the other hand, Li Changjiang and Chang Man were indifferent.
Li Changjiang's injuries were serious at this time. He had to hold on to not faint. To him, anywhere was the same. The most important thing was to quickly have a nest for him to recuperate.
Chang Man was sold to Xiangjiang by his family. His heart was dead and he decided not to go back for the rest of his life. He was already very happy to have a place to stay and did not dare to ask for anything else.
Just as the few of them were thinking about their own matters, a rough voice sounded,"Hey, who are you guys? Who are you looking for?”
The few of them raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. It was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had a fierce face, was 1.7 meters tall, and had a strong figure. He was wearing a shirt that had been washed so badly that the color could not be seen clearly. He was standing at the door of a wooden house.
He stood upright and had a great bearing.
"Brother, who are you?" Chicken Heart's conditioned reflex was to respond, but it was this response that exposed his identity.
Because Chicken Heart didn't speak Cantonese, he could understand a little, but he answered in Mandarin.
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows and sized up Leng Sen and the others. He said,"Did you just swim over?"
"Oh no…"
Chicken Heart knew that she had misspoken and looked at Leng Sen carefully.
Leng Sen did not blame him because he could hear that the man's tone did not sound like he was rejecting or distant. On the contrary, there was a sense of closeness.
Leng Sen immediately took the lead and walked towards the man. He nodded and said,"That's right. We can't survive in our hometown anymore. Our brothers can only come out desperately to get a living.”
"My surname is Wen, and I'm number six in my family." The man sized Leng Sen up, and his eyes lit up."Little brother, you can't even earn a living with your body. Is the situation at home so bad?”
Before Leng Sen could reply, the man seemed to have thought of something and sighed."Sigh, that's true. If there was something to eat, who would swim over so desperately?”
"Hmm? This little brother is injured?"
"Yes, Sixth Brother. He accidentally hit a reef when he swam over.”Leng Sen casually made up a story. In order to express his closeness, he simply called him brother.
"He's really lucky!" "Do you have any friends or family here?" the man asked. I can't say that I know everyone in Tiaojing Ridge, but I know most of them.”
Without a doubt, the man was a kind person. He said this to help.
When Leng Sen heard this, he immediately shook his head and said,"No, but when we swam over, we sold all our belongings and gathered 1,000 yuan.”
"Sixth Brother, since you have such a wide network, can you help us find a place to stay?”
At the same time, Leng Sen took out a 1000-yuan golden bull from his pocket and showed it off. He portrayed an inexperienced stowaway who had just come from the mainland very vividly.
"Put it away. We are all Chinese people. If we don't help when we are in trouble, are we still human?”
The man patted Leng Sen's shoulder and said seriously,""I still have a room at home. If you don't mind it being simple, you can move in. You should take a look around these days and figure out the environment here. Xiangjiang City is totally different from the Mainland. It's not difficult for you to survive here; however, it's hard for you to live well.”
"Thank you, Sixth Brother."
Leng Sen was overjoyed. He didn't expect to settle down so smoothly. He quickly thanked him and called out to Chicken Heart and the others,"Why aren't you thanking me?"
Chicken Heart and the others also had a good impression of the man's heroic style. They said,"Thank you, Sixth Brother."
