Although the separation from Shi Xiaolian made Ren Pingsheng feel melancholy, he couldn't change it once he set off. The two drove back according to the original plan and headed eastward. The end point was: Hanhai City.

At that time, the Kunmo Expressway passed through Menghuan County was not open to traffic, so Ren Pingsheng and others had to take the G213 National Highway Blue Mo Line to reach PE City first, and then through G323 National Highway to Kunming City.

From Kunming City, they can take the expressway. At that time, the two routes of Hanrong and Hanrui among the three major arteries of the Chinese expressway have not been completed. They can only take the Kunheng Expressway from Nan Kunming to Hunan and Chu Hengzhou.

In Hengzhou City, change to national highway and enter Jianggan Province, in Yuzhang City, change to Jiangxi section of Hankun Expressway and enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and then follow the Raocheng-Kecheng-Hanzhou route and finally arrive in Hanhai City.

In order to save time and travel more, Ren Pingsheng decided to drive two people in turn. Although there were not many national highway buses here, the road conditions were still good.

But for safety reasons, after Lin Lishang released for 4 hours, Ren Pingsheng asked him to take a break and switch to driving by himself.

This Qingling 700P is a one-and-a-half-row car model. There is a bed-sized space behind the cab, allowing the shift driver to lie down and sleep.

Lin Lisong walked along the way, and sometimes he didn't get to the hotel, so he just took a sleep at that location, so he threw a thin quilt there.

He changed from the driver's seat and was about to climb to the back bunk when the thin quilt suddenly stood up and something appeared inside.

Lin Lisong was startled. His body naturally leaned back and almost hit the glass. Ren Pingsheng was familiar with the car at this time and had not yet started the road. He quickly turned around and looked at it.

I saw a thin figure wrapped under the thin quilt, with shaved head, dark skin, and thin eyes. Isn’t it Yanpo, a Thai child who led Lin Lisong yesterday? When did he slip into the car?

"Brother Ren, Brother Lin, I want to go to Hanhai, you can take me there." Xiao Yanpo was neither nervous nor afraid when he saw them, and opened his mouth and smiled.

Ren Pingsheng and Lin Lisong looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Children, it's not OK for you to run out like this. Your parents will worry. They will look for you everywhere." Lin Lisong advised earnestly.

"I don't have a father anymore, my mother is gone, no one will look for me."

Xiaoyan lowered his head and pouted Lao Gao. He grabbed one with his hands twisted, and his right fingers clenched the thumb of his left hand.

He must have been picking this place for a long time. The skin next to his fingernails was broken by him, and he was full of anxiety from his expression to his movements.

Yanpo's father is a Thai man with a lively nature. When he was very young, he left home to work in another place. It is said that he met Yanpo's mother while working. The two were young and fell in love with each other and got together.

However, after the two returned to Yanpo's father's hometown and got married, because there was no employment channel in the local area, Yanpo's father did not like to do farm work and could only wander around at home.

Without economic income, their living standards are not as good as those in big cities, which disappointed Yanpo's mother. Over time, the more conflicts accumulated, the couple gradually began to quarrel.

One day, after a big quarrel between Yanpo and her husband, she left Xiao Yanpo, who was less than 5 years old, and ran away from home that night. Yanpo's father chased him for dozens of kilometers but failed to catch up.

After his wife ran away, Yanpo's father was in a slump. Not only did he not take on the responsibility of taking care of his son, he was idle all day long, and was taken by some gangsters in society to take drugs, became addicted to drugs, and became a drug dealer.

When Xiao Yanpo was 9 years old, Yanpo's father was arrested on the spot by the anti-drug police during a drug prevention operation. Because he resisted stubbornly, he was shot during the pursuit and died.

From then on, Xiao Yanpo became a fatherless orphan, living on his grandparents who were nearly 70 years old.

It is also because of his father that Xiao Yanpo was listed as the target of the "Caring for Tomorrow, Growing Hands-in-Hand" campaign by the Menghuan County Border Defense Squadron, and the officers and soldiers of the border defense squadron donated him to school.

The school and teachers have always taken good care of Xiaoyanpo, hoping that he can study hard, but Xiaoyanpo is not very excited about studying and his grades in the class are not very good.

Maybe it was because his father always liked to tell him about his working life back then. Xiao Yanpo has longed for life in big cities since he was a child, and has always wanted to leave this remote mountain village and go to big cities to explore.

It happened to be the guide for Ren Pingsheng and the others yesterday. After listening to Ren Pingsheng's description of Hanhai City, Xiao Yan was fascinated and had long yearned for it.

That night, Xiao Yanpo had a fight with his grandparents because he was late from home. He was angry and wanted to run away from home.

So, before dawn this morning, Xiao Yanpo slipped out of the house and found Ren Pingsheng's truck near the school.

He hid aside, and while the two of them were not paying attention, he sneaked into the cab and hid in the thin quilt in the back bed.

He was small and deliberately did not make any sound. Ren Pingsheng and Lin Lisong did not notice that there was an extra person in the cab. It was not until Lin Lisong was about to go to bed on the bunk that Xiao Yanpo jumped out.

After some cross-examination, Ren Pingsheng figured out Xiao Yanpo's intention, but he couldn't agree to bring this little guy with him.

On the one hand, it is because what they are doing is very dangerous. It can be said that they are wandering on the edge of the law, requiring high confidentiality and loyalty. They would rather do things themselves in their lives, unless they need help from others, so that the people they trust can participate.

Until now, there are only two and a half people who can reassure Ren Pingsheng, two are Lin Lisong and An Qi, and half are Shi Xiaolian. Letting this Thai child whom he has never known each other will affect their generic drug transportation and sales work.

On the other hand, although Xiao Yanpo is a child with mature conversation, he is too young, and his body and head are not fully developed. He can't help much in Hanhai City. There are no places to use child labor in big cities like Hanhai. What can he do when he arrives in Hanhai?

Ren Pingsheng hid the first level of consideration and told Xiao Yanpo the second level of consideration.

He said it quite bluntly, but the child was not discouraged after hearing it. His two black eyes turned and turned, begging, in a tone of innocence or worldliness,

"Brother Ren, just take me with you. Don't look at me as small as I am not stupid. I have so many things I can do."

"Then tell me, what can you do?" Ren Pingsheng teased.

Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't think of what he could do. But soon he pretended to be pitiful and begged with Lin Lisong's arm:

"Everything is fine. Do whatever you ask me to do. Just take me to Hanhai City and leave this ghost place."

His voice was pitiful, which made Lin Lisong feel a little embarrassed.

"In my life, why don't we take him with me first. If he really can't do it, I'll send him back."

"Yes, yes, take me with you. I promise, I will listen to the words of the two elder brothers. If you call me to go east, I will go east. If you call me to go west, I will go west. If I can make money in the future, I will definitely repay my elder brother. I will share the blessings and share the difficulties."

Xiao Yanpo clasped his fists with his hands, recited the lines he learned from some Hong Kong film, and while speaking, he lay on the floor of the cab and kowtowed.

Although Xiao Yanpo's head was not big, he was very energetic. He knocked the floor of the cab so loud that Ren Pingsheng didn't stop him. He just watched coldly. Lin Lisong wanted to reach out to help him, but was stopped by his sharp eyes.

The child was getting slower and slower, his forehead was already bleeding, and his eyes began to dissipate. Then he reached out and grabbed him, lifted him up and placed him on the seat.

Ren Pingsheng stretched out three fingers and shook them, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and his two eyes locked Xiao Yanpo like pliers. He said in a deep voice:

"I will make three rules for you. If you can abide by it, you can stay. If you can't abide by it, I will drive you away at any time. Do you understand?"

Although Xiao Yanpo's forehead and face were covered with blood stains and his expression was very weak, he stubbornly raised his head and his eyes were facing Ren Pingsheng's gaze without any weakness.

"First, you can't talk too much. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say."

"The second article, you cannot do it yourself. You must not do anything I do not agree with."

"The third article, you cannot hide it. You must tell me everything, and you cannot hide your own personal information."

"I heard it, I can do it, I will definitely do it." Xiaoyan answered loudly with all his strength, as if he was afraid that Ren Pingsheng would question his loyalty.

Ren Pingsheng nodded, took out iodine and bandages from the medical box in the car, personally helped Xiao Yanpo deal with the scars on his head, and took out the dry food given by Shi Xiaolian to distribute to him.

Xiao Yanpo didn't eat breakfast when he went out. After hiding for a long time, he was almost hungry. When he saw the familiar Thai food, he stuffed it into his mouth like a hungry wolf when he saw blood.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Xiao Yanpo's eating habits and nodded with satisfaction. He watched him finish his last rice ball, and then arranged for him to sit in the passenger seat, take the map and guide the way, and let Lin Lisong go to the back row to rest.

Three people and one car, continue on the road.
