Chapter 200 You Should Be a Good Person

In fact, Li Guoqiang didn't think of using a knife at first, especially against such a "poor" pair of siblings, making him look like a big villain now.

However, if a knife is not used, it will be difficult to learn about their situation from the stubborn-looking girl in front of you and the defiant little kid next to her.

Under the gazes of Erniu and Sanwazi, he casually made a knife flower to demonstrate his superb knife skills and warn them not to mess around.

Then, he smiled and said softly, "Don't be so nervous. It's fate that we meet in this mountain. I just want to know the basic situation of your family and see if I can help you!"

"Now, who of you will speak first?"

Having said that, he casually swung his knife in a flower pattern. The sharp cold light flashing on the tip of the knife made Erniu and Sanwazi shrink their necks involuntarily, and then stared at him with a look of shock and anger.

Having grown up in these mountains since childhood, they know very well that the rule in the mountains is that the strong prey on the weak.

Moreover, given their family's situation, if Li Guoqiang really wanted to do something bad to them, then even if he killed them now, it would probably not matter.

The only way to survive is to cooperate with Li Guoqiang and hope that Li Guoqiang will let them go when he has had enough fun.

So, Erniu took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Then she said in a deep voice, "Then ask! What do you want to know?"

"It's easy!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately said, "Tell me first, where did your parents come from? Why did they come to live in this deserted mountain? And why have they lived there for so many years?"

"Also, where do you usually go to purchase supplies? Do you have any relatives at home?"

"As for the other questions, I will see if I should ask you after you have explained them clearly!"

Hearing this series of questions, Erniu and Sanwazi looked at each other, then asked with some fear and curiosity: "Um, are you Gongan?"

"Gong An?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then said calmly: "You can treat me as Gongan!"

"Forehead"

Erniu was slightly stunned, then nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay then!"

"In fact, we don't really know why my dad brought my mom here. He usually doesn't let us ask. Sometimes when we ask urgently, he says that he offended a high-ranking official outside the mountain and hid in the mountain to escape."

"So he was always worried that the workers' security would come to our house and arrest everyone in our family."

"In addition, when we usually buy things, we go to a small village thirty miles south and ask Uncle Zhao to help us buy them. Sometimes he will bring things over to us."

"Also, there are no other relatives in our family except my sister and I and my mother."

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang anxiously, fearing that Li Guoqiang would take them away.

After listening to this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly and asked directly: "How did your father leave?"

"My Father."

Erniu pursed her lips, then lowered her head and answered, "My dad was accidentally hit by a blind bear before the beginning of winter last year. He vomited blood, and then he passed away not long after returning home."

"Where's your mother?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows and then asked.

"My mother got sick a few years ago and has been lying at home!"

Upon hearing this, Erniu glanced back into the room, then spoke with a gloomy face.

"That's it!"

After listening to it, Li Guoqiang went over Erniu's answer in his mind, compared it with the information he had heard before, and found no problem, so he did not suspect that Erniu was lying.

Then, he shook the tip of the knife and said softly, "Then take me into the house now. I have something to ask your mother!"

"Ok!"

At this time, Erniu and Sanwazi already thought that Li Guoqiang was a worker in charge of safety, so when they heard Li Guoqiang's request, they didn't think much about it and just nodded and agreed.

In fact, even if they wanted to think more, there was nothing to think about.

Not to mention that Li Guoqiang had a sharp knife in his hand and could kill them at any time, just their curiosity about their father's origins was enough to make them cooperate.

Soon, they turned around, slowly opened the door, and took Li Guoqiang into the inner room.

As their footsteps sounded, a middle-aged woman with a pale face and thin body slowly climbed up from the kang.

Liang Xianglian raised her head with some effort and looked towards the door of the inner room, with a hint of anticipation on her face.

However, when she saw that the person who came was not their old customer Zhao Guixin, but a handsome and tall young man, her pupils shrank suddenly, and then she asked anxiously, "Who are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately saw the sharp knife in Li Guoqiang's hand, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.

"If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't hurt my child!"

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang saw Liang Xianglian's agitated look, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, please calm down first. I don't mean to hurt anyone. I just want to ask you a few questions."

"Mom, don't be afraid, he is Gongan!"

At this time, Erniu and Sanwazi also hurried forward, helped explain, and helped Liang Xianglian up.

When Liang Xianglian heard that Li Guoqiang was a worker in public security, she was stunned for a moment. She was not able to come to her senses until Erniu and Sanwazi helped her up and held her in their arms. She seemed to have lost her soul.

When Li Guoqiang saw Liang Xianglian's reaction, he became more interested in the story of this family.

As far as he knew, due to the popularity of crossing Guandong in the past, many bandits emerged from this area, and the most famous one was naturally Marshal Zhang.

Therefore, many people committed crimes outside and were forced to hide in the mountains.

Now it depends on what the situation is between Liang Xianglian and her man.

If they were really criminals with heinous crimes, he would not show mercy to them.

If they were forced to come here because of oppression from the powerful, then he could consider accepting them and letting them look after his private apiary for him.

After a while, Liang Xianglian finally came to her senses after Erniu and Sanwazi kept calling her, and then she asked doubtfully, "Are you really Gongan?"

"Is it that important?"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then asked instead of answering. "."

Liang Xianglian couldn't help but froze when she heard that. Then she slowly turned her head to look at Erniu and Sanwazi, and then said with a complicated expression, "Yeah! It doesn't matter whether you are or not now."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Li Guoqiang again. There was anger, sadness, and sorrow in her eyes, which eventually turned into relief.

"Ask whatever you want!"

Li Guoqiang didn't hesitate to ask, "I want to know where are you from? Why did you come here to live?"

"At the beginning."

When Liang Xianglian heard the question asked by Li Guoqiang, her thoughts suddenly drifted back to nearly twenty years ago.

Then, as she slowly explained the whole story, Li Guoqiang finally understood why the other party reacted so strongly when he heard that he was a worker security guard.

Actually, it's very simple.

Liang Xianglian's man was originally a member of the National Army. When the army was defeated 20 years ago, he was unable to retreat with the main force. Instead, he fled here and abducted Liang Xianglian from Shen City and lived in seclusion in the mountains until last year when she was accidentally beaten to death by a blind bear.

Liang Xianglian was not from an ordinary family either. Her family was originally in the fur business.

When she was first abducted to this deep mountain, she cried out to heaven and earth but no one answered her call. Then, in order to survive, she had no choice but to surrender herself to the bandits.

Later, she gave birth to a big fat boy for the other party, and their relationship became much better. In addition, the outside society had become stable, so she thought about going back to her parents' home.

However, she was still a step too late. When she found her home based on her memory, she discovered that all her family members had moved abroad.

With no other options, she could only return to the mountains and continue to live a hard life in seclusion.

Soon after, her eldest son, who was in his teens, followed her husband into the mountains to hunt. Because of a conflict with a group of bandits over prey, he was accidentally hit by a stray bullet and died.

Her man, in a rage, used explosives to bury the bandits completely in the mountains.

In addition, she fell ill due to the grief of losing her son and lay in the fire pit for seven or eight years.

At the end of her words, she looked towards Li Guoqiang with a pleading look in her eyes.

"I know you are a good person. I don't expect you to adopt them. I just hope you can help take them out of the mountain so they can have a chance to live a normal life."

"I beg you!"

Having said this, she struggled hard to stand up and kneel down to kowtow to Li Guoqiang, but because her body was too weak, she was unable to do it after struggling for a long time.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said, "You don't have to beg me anymore. I don't have the ability to arrange a legal identity for them."

"If you want, I can arrange a job for you."

"Just to the northeast of your home, about ten miles away, I have more than a hundred beehives there for raising bees and collecting honey."

"You can go there every day and help me take care of the beehives. Don't let them be damaged by wild animals. Observe the condition of the bee colonies and tell me if there is anything abnormal."

"As a reward for your help, I can bring you some food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cloth, needles and thread, etc. on a regular basis."

"Although the quantity may not be large, it should be no problem for you to live a better life than you do now."

"How about it? Do you want to take this job?"

When Liang Xianglian heard that Li Guoqiang refused to take Erniu and Sanwazi out, she felt disappointed for a moment. Then when she heard Li Guoqiang say that he could arrange a job for their family, her eyes slowly brightened up again.

Although she didn't quite understand why Li Guoqiang, a worker, would go to the deep mountains to raise bees and collect honey.

But in her opinion, since Li Guoqiang was able to raise bees alone in the deep mountains, he must have something powerful to rely on, and there would not be any safety problems easily.

If she could help Li Guoqiang, then at least she wouldn't have to worry about Erniu and Sanwazi dying.

The only question that worries her is what is Li Guoqiang's purpose in doing this?
As a young lady from an aristocratic family who grew up in the war years and was abducted to the mountains, she is not a brainless person and knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world.

As she was thinking, her eyes accidentally fell on the bulge in front of Erniu, and she instantly had a guess in her mind.

Could it be that this handsome guy has fallen in love with Erniu?
Just as she was wondering whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, Erniu spoke first: "Brother, just tell me what you want!"

"As long as you can find a way to cure my mother's illness, as long as you can protect my brother and let him grow up safely, no matter what you ask for, I can agree to it!"

Having said this, she straightened her chest slightly, showing great courage.

Obviously, she had the same guess as Liang Xianglian and chose to confront Li Guoqiang face to face.

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Erniu, who looked ready to die bravely, and smiled, "I didn't expect that you have such a big appetite at such a young age!"

"Do you think I would lack a bite of food like you?"

"Or do you think I must have your help, so you think you have me in your hands?"

When he said this, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"I"

Erniu saw that Li Guoqiang was angry, and her heart tightened slightly, then she quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I just think you should be a good person and won't stand by and watch us die."

"joke!"

When Li Guoqiang heard that Erniu had given him a good guy card, he couldn't help but said angrily, "How long have we just known each other? Are you sure that I'm a good person?"

As he spoke, he saw Erniu wanted to refute, so he waved his hand hastily and spoke first: "Okay, I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you now, just tell me this job, do you want to take it or not?"

"catch!"

At this time, Liang Xianglian also came back to her senses from her daydreams, and when she heard Li Guoqiang's question, she nodded hurriedly and agreed, "I'll take this job on behalf of the brother and sister. I'll ask you to take good care of them in the future."

After saying that, she lowered her head and bowed to Li Guoqiang.

"Row!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang accepted the bow without hesitation, then nodded and said, "Then you two, come with me now to get to know the place. By the way, I will tell you what you usually do."

Seeing that Liang Xianglian had made the decision and agreed, Erniu and Sanwazi could only nod, put Liang Xianglian back on the kang, and then followed Li Guoqiang out.
