Chapter 333: Retired Old Liao
Morning!
Xiayong Town, outside the bus station.
A girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old was wearing a short skirt and carrying a backpack, but her haggard expression showed that she was tired.
This is a relatively underdeveloped small town in the northwest .
The girl's fair skin contrasted sharply with the dark faces of the townspeople.
"Little girl, where are you going? Do you want a ride?"
A motorcycle taxi driver drove over. The girl stepped back a few steps in fear and shook her head, saying, "No, I have a friend to pick me up."
"A friend is picking you up. Where are you going?"
The driver of the motorcycle taxi was a middle-aged man. He seemed to be very eager to take this business and was unwilling to give up.
The girl did not answer, but pursed her lips and took a few steps back. Seeing this, the motorcycle taxi driver had no choice but to drive away.
The girl looked at her phone and looked around from time to time. A few minutes later, a motorcycle stopped in front of the girl. The owner of the motorcycle was wearing a helmet. He opened the glass cover in front of the girl and said something. The girl's expression changed from fear at the beginning to surprise, and finally she got on the other's car.
The motorcycle carrying the girl drove away quickly. Across the street, the motorcycle taxi driver saw this scene and said to another motorcycle taxi driver beside him with some uncertainty: "This girl doesn't seem to know the motorcycle driver just now."
"Why would you let someone drive you if you don't know them? Old Liao, what are you thinking about every day? Besides, isn't it popular among young people nowadays to meet online friends? Maybe this girl is here to meet her online friend."
"She's so young and she's meeting her online friend. I guess her parents don't know about it."
"Why do you care whether other people's parents know about it? Don't meddle in other people's business these days. Don't be a good person and end up getting yourself into trouble. We are here to drive motorcycle taxis to earn money to support our families. We can't even take care of our own family affairs, so why worry about other people's affairs?"
The driver of the motorcycle taxi, known as Lao Liao, was a little hesitant when he heard what his friend said. After a while, he said, "No, I still have to go over and take a look."
"What are you looking at? Isn't it because this little girl is about the same age as your daughter that your fatherly love is overflowing?"
"It's not just that." Lao Liao shook his head and said seriously: "I am still a veteran."
Lao Liao's words stunned the motorcycle taxi drivers, and Lao Liao had already caught up on his motorcycle.
The car in front was heading west out of the town. Lao Liao followed behind. After crossing a country road, he looked at the road that was becoming more and more remote. He became a little confused.
Where is this going?
As a local, Lao Liao is very familiar with the terrain.
In the entire Xiayong Town, the population is larger only on the east side. There are only a few villages scattered on the west side, and there is only one Luofeng Village along this road.
Because the place was too desolate, the few families that originally lived there had long since disappeared, and only a few years ago did people start breeding there.
When he first heard the news, he thought that the farmer must have been hit by a car on the head for running to Luofeng Village to raise livestock. There was no grass in that place, so how could he possibly start a business?
But what he didn't expect was that the farm was actually successful. It was said that the sheep were fed with high-tech feed. He didn't know the details, but he heard from relatives in the government that the sheep in this farm were sold abroad, and the price was several times higher than in China.
Could it be that this little girl is going to the breeding farm?
Lao Liao knew that most of the employees in the farm were from other places. Maybe the little girl’s parents worked in the farm and came here to visit relatives or see their parents?
Am I being too concerned?
Because of this distraction, when Lao Liao entered the village, he found that there was no trace of the motorcycle.
After driving around the village road and not finding any motorcycles, Lao Liao smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking. It's a different era now. There shouldn't be all those miscellaneous things going on."
Lao Liao drove his motorcycle back the same way he came, but he didn't notice that there was a shadow huddled on a tree on the left side of the road, and a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at him.
…
…
Afternoon, three o'clock.
There would be no more long-distance buses leaving or arriving in the town, so Lao Liao greeted several motorcycle taxi drivers and prepared to ride to the school to pick up his daughter after school.
My daughter is in high school and tomorrow is the weekend so she has no classes. She will go home after school tonight and stay at home all day.
Then, just when Lao Liao was driving in front of a bridge, he suddenly felt a gust of wind above his head. Then Lao Liao felt a sharp tearing pain on his head, as if something had grabbed his hair tightly.
However, after all, he was a veteran, so even when he felt the pain, Lao Liao did not loosen his hands on the handlebars. Instead, he stepped on the brakes. After the car stopped, he released his hands and waved them above his head, while he bent down and jumped off the car.
"What a monster!"
When Lao Liao jumped out of the car, he only felt that his hand hit something furry, but when he saw clearly the figure standing next to the car, he was completely shocked.
It was a monster similar to a baboon, covered with red hair. In its hand, the monster was holding a tuft of hair with scalp attached.
Old Liao felt a chill on his scalp. How could there be such a monster in the town?
There is no zoo either.
The monster's scarlet eyes stared at him viciously, and the next moment it pounced at him like lightning. If it were a human, he would probably have been frightened silly with his hands and feet numb.
But Lao Liao had a good mentality and quickly rolled on the ground to avoid it.
hiss!
Although he dodged the monster's attack, his back was still scratched by its sharp claws, and the entire coat was cut in two from his back and fell off.
Cry!
The monster let out a sharp hiss and pounced towards Lao Liao again. Lao Liao rolled sideways to avoid it again. This time, scratches appeared on his hands, and his skin was directly broken. The flesh inside was turned out and blood gushed out.
Looking at the ferocious monster, despair appeared on Lao Liao's face. There was no need to talk about the monster's strength. With its speed and sharp claws, he was no match for it at all.
The monster didn't give Lao Liao a break, and Lao Liao had already used up most of his strength after rolling sideways twice. There was despair in his eyes, but then he roared: "Even if I die, I will make you, a flat-haired beast, take a punch."
Facing the monster that was rushing towards him, Lao Liao did not hide this time, because he knew that even if he could hide this time, he would not be able to hide next time.
He threw a punch, but to Lao Liao's despair, the monster disappeared from his sight.
As a veteran, Lao Liao knew very well that the monster was definitely not scared away by him, and the disappearance of the monster meant that his attack was useless.
Just as Lao Liao was desperately waiting for the attack from the monster , after waiting for a few seconds, he did not feel any pain in his back.
When he looked back in confusion, he found that the monster was lying on the ground, being stepped on by a young man, unable to move.
