Chapter 117: Horse Wrangler Li Xiuzhi
Happy times are always so short, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when Liu Ying set off for a research institute in the northwest.
I still have one semester left before graduation, why am I going to eat sand?
Yuan Wanqiu was so distressed that she cried many times in secret. Fortunately, Cao Rui comforted her and she did not hurt herself.
The itinerary is like this: you first take the green train several times and then transfer to a bus to reach your destination.
Beijing Railway Station.
There are people coming and going, and it is very lively.
Yuan Wanqiu took Liu Ying's hand and reminded her again. Even though she had already told her the precautions many times before setting off, she was still worried.
"Mom, you have to take care of yourself!"
Liu Ying had never been separated from her mother since she was a child. She was also infected by the emotion of parting and couldn't help crying.
Cao Rui stood beside the two of them with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Ke Daguang, carrying a lot of bags, also came to the train station surrounded by his family.
When he saw Liu Ying's figure, his eyes lit up and he turned around and asked his family to wait there.
He came straight over and said with a smile:
"Comrade Cao Rui, I knew you would come to see Liu Ying off. Don't worry, I will take good care of her when we get there."
Before Cao Rui could answer, a man with a duck voice suddenly interrupted:
"Damn it, I didn't expect it would be you, Ke Daguang, who would have the last laugh."
Ke Daguang frowned and turned around to see who was speaking so rudely.
It turned out to be none other than Ye Zifeng who had just gotten married.
"Classmate Zifeng, you came to see us off too! How is your recovery going? Why does your voice sound weird?"
Ye Zifeng coughed subconsciously, glared at Ke Daguang angrily, and turned to look at Cao Rui:
"You are not angry, are you? You finally used despicable means to drive me out, but in the end, you were robbed by a boring guy. This is karma!"
Cao Rui smiled but said nothing, not even bothering to talk.
The more this happened, the angrier Ye Zifeng became, and he was about to start cursing further.
Over there, Liu Ying heard something was wrong, and without caring about being sad, she stood up to protect Cao Rui and said:
"Thank you for coming to see us off, Zifeng, but I don't want to see or hear you attacking my lover again."
"Who is your lover?"
Ye Zifeng and Ke Daguang's faces changed drastically at the same time.
Cao Rui smiled and said, "It's me."
After saying this, he ignored the two people who were struck by lightning, helped Liu Ying lift the suitcase, and said:
"Professor Yuan, I'm going to send your daughter to the Northwest, which may take some time. Please take care of yourself. If you encounter problems that you can't solve, you can go to Shen Xue or the silk shop owner Xueru."
"I've written down their addresses and contact information on a piece of paper. Be sure to keep it safe."
Yuan Wanqiu was surprised and delighted when she heard this: "I wanted to see him off, but I was rejected. How can you be qualified?"
"I was lucky enough to be selected into the escort team and was responsible for bringing Liu Ying and the others to safety."
Cao Rui looked at Liu Ying with a smile, and indeed saw surprise and sweetness in her eyes.
After all, they are newlyweds, and Liu Ying doesn't want to separate if there is any way.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I cried secretly several times."
"I didn't mean to give you a surprise."
……
When the two were showing their affection, Ye Zifeng watched with gnashing teeth and felt extremely heartbroken. Only when he turned around and saw Ke Daguang, who looked like he had lost his parents, did he feel much better.
Then he thought that Ke Daguang still had the chance to wait for their relationship to change, but he was not even qualified to be a part of it, and he suddenly felt sad and self-mockery in his heart.
He glared at Cao Rui fiercely, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger and unwillingness in his heart on Cao Rui.
No!
After returning home, he knelt down and begged his sister Ye Ziya, saying that Cao Rui must not have a good life no matter what.
Ke Daguang was not much better off. He said goodbye to his family in a daze, got into the car and sat down in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
beep...
The green train started its journey, which lasted seven days.
Get off at the terminal and transfer to a bus.
With the arrangement of the local reception staff, Cao Rui finally saw the jeep that Shen Xue specially approved for him, as well as a national gas station certificate.
So what are you waiting for? Take your beloved beauty and drive into the endless prairie.
A breeze blew across the grassland, and the green grass undulated like waves.
The jeep was moving forward amidst the bumps. Liu Ying's hair was fluttering in the wind, and her face was filled with excitement and novelty.
“What a beautiful view!”
"You are more beautiful than the scenery."
What Cao Rui said was true, so much so that although he was driving in front of the convoy during the day, he fell behind at night. They set up tents, built fires, and after eating and drinking, they went into the small tent hand in hand.
Knowing that the two were newlyweds, everyone else tacitly refrained from disturbing them.
Only Ke Daguang became more and more taciturn.
After a few more days, the green grass disappeared, leaving only the bare Loess Plateau, and beyond that was the Gobi Desert.
The howling wind swept across this desolate land, and the yellow sand in the sky made it impossible to open one's eyes. The conditions were undoubtedly harsh, but they could not erase the will of Liu Ying and others.
On the contrary, after this place was chosen as a scientific research base, it was destined to be baptized by countless whistling missiles.
……
The situation inside the base cannot be described in detail. After settling Liu Ying, Cao Rui, a non-staff member, will leave with other members of the guard team.
"Take care on your journey!"
Liu Ying stood at the gate of the base, watching Cao Rui drive away in his jeep. She couldn't help but shed tears, but she wiped them away as soon as she turned around. She turned all her feelings for Cao Rui and her longing for her mother into motivation for scientific research.
The sooner you complete your task, the sooner you can go home.
Come on!
……
It was only said that when Cao Rui was halfway through the journey, he took the opportunity of a break to show his Security Bureau certificate to the team leader, saying that he had a secret mission and applied to leave the team.
After the team leader called his superiors, he agreed to Cao Rui's request.
Once again, give a thumbs up to Sister Shen Xue!
Cao Rui didn't have any plans. After checking the map, he drove towards the nearest village.
We suddenly encountered a heavy rainstorm on the road and had to put the jeep into the small world to shelter from the rain.
We waited until the weather cleared up and continued on our way. When we passed a naturally formed deep ditch, we seemed to hear a faint cry for help.
Cao Rui stopped the car and ran over to take a look, only to see several people lying dead in a ditch in the leeward direction. Perhaps because of yesterday's storm, they were unable to make a fire to keep warm and died of hypothermia.
Cao Rui took a detour and searched carefully to see if there were any survivors, when he found two women hugging each other tightly for warmth.
Suddenly he discovered that one of the women was someone he knew, Wu Nana, who was drugged and almost insulted by the director of the guesthouse.
Shouldn't she be at her home in the suburbs of Beijing? Why did she run so far away?
Without giving it much thought, Cao Rui checked and found that Wu Nana had a high fever and was unconscious. If she was not rescued quickly, she would definitely not survive the day.
Just as Cao Rui carried Wu Nana on his back and was about to check on the other woman, she unexpectedly came back to life from her suspended animation and let out a faint cry for help.
It was exactly the voice Cao Rui had just heard, what a tenacious vitality.
Cao Rui quickly picked up the woman and walked towards the jeep. A faint black mist automatically appeared in his pupils, and he saw her special talent.
