The old man carefully opened Zhang Jing's backpack, which contained some food, clothes and other miscellaneous items.
No guns.
After confirming that there was no threat, the old man put down the shotgun and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Looking for gold."
"Have you found it?" the old man asked Zhang Jing.
"I walked up along the river and found nothing."
"You should come here in the summer."
Zhang Jing did not argue, "Can I leave?"
"Put on your clothes and come in for a cup of tea."
Zhang Jing picked up his coat and put it on, picked up his backpack, put on Smarties, and trotted to keep up with the old man.
The house is about sixty or seventy meters away from the river. If it weren't for those sled dogs, the old man would never know that Zhang Jing passed by his door.
"What's your name?" the old man asked.
"Zhang Jing."
"People from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Yes."
"Others call me Lao Daijin, you can call me that too."
After chatting for a few words, the two came to the house.
Pushing open the door and entering the small living room, Lao Daijin made Zhang Jing a cup of black tea.
"No one has come to my place for a long time. The last time a stranger came was a year and a half ago."
"Is the process bad?" Zhang Jing asked tentatively.
Lao Daijin's expression changed, "How do you know?"
"You seemed a little nervous when you were at the river just now."
"I'm afraid of killing the wrong good guy."
This reason is so strong that Zhang Jing cannot argue with it.
At this time, Zhang Jing noticed a wire moving in mid-air in the room next to the living room.
Someone knotted it and hung it on the ceiling fan of the bedroom, as if intending to commit suicide?
Zhang Jing was a little confused and tried to ask Lao Dai Jin, "Do you live here alone?"
"I have a daughter."
"Can you invite her out to drink tea with you?" Zhang Jing was worried and reminded without changing his expression.
"She suffers from depression and strangers make it worse."
Zhang Jing reminded her for the second time, "I heard that depression is very painful and sometimes suicidal. Do you want to go see her?"
His daughter was indeed suicidal. After being reminded by Zhang Jing, Lao Daijin did not dare to delay. When he opened the door, he saw that his daughter was planning to commit suicide.
With the wire ring already wrapped around her neck, Lao Daijin quickly stepped forward to lift his daughter up.
Zhang Jing saw Lao Daijin's daughter, a big man who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed about 250 or 60 kilograms.
He is about the same height as Katie, but his figure is far different.
"Come and help!"
Lao Daijin couldn't lift his daughter and asked Zhang Jing for help.
Zhang Jing rushed forward and helped lift the woman up.
After a lot of twists and turns, Zhang Jing and Lao Daijin finally succeeded in rescuing the man, but the woman was very depressed, crying and yelling, with tears and runny nose running down her face.
"The tranquilizer has been used up," said Old Daikin, who was confused. "She will bite off her tongue."
Zhang Jing didn't know that depression could be so serious. He thought that Qu Xiaoqing liked to hum songs, so he drank "She Can Be Magical" in English.
she
Can you do magic?
I can't help myself
Don't know how to pull back from a cliff
Let me experience it
This gap between love and hate
Love is a gorgeous firework
As if there was real magic, the woman quickly became quiet.
.....
"A year and a half ago, it was summer, and six strangers suddenly came here..."
This is a sad story.
Milika, the daughter of Lao Daijin, her mother was killed by gangsters and died in Milika's arms.
Although the six gangsters were killed by Lao Daijin, Milika suffered from severe depression from then on.
Looking at Lao Daijin, who is in his fifties, he is not tall, strong, pot-bellied, greasy, and does not look fierce. He is just an ordinary white old man.
You can actually kill six bad guys, is that fake?
Thinking this in his mind, Zhang Jing asked Lao Dai Jin in a subtle way, "This place is remote and no one usually comes here. Have you offended someone?"
"No, they are looking for something, and they suspect it was hidden by us."
Zhang Jing's heart shrank slightly. It was obvious that the strangers were looking for the lost silver nugget.
The point is that those two boxes of silver bullion are worth a lot of money, and they will definitely not give up easily.
Looking at Old Dai Jin's sad face and deep crow's feet, Zhang Jing apologized in his heart and said, "Your daughter needs a doctor. I rented a plane and will pick her up the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go to Anchorage with me?" There is a hospital.”
Lao Daijin was happy, "Will it cause you any trouble?"
"No trouble," Zhang Jing looked like a good guy, "It's just a matter of convenience."
After a night's rest, the three of them set off early the next day before dawn, with the eight dogs pulling the sled.
Lao Daijin drove, Zhang Jing and Milika sat in the back, and Smarties ran along.
Driving more than 70 kilometers on the ice with three breaks, we arrived at the landing place in the evening. On the ninth day, pilot Charles returned with the C37 antique transport aircraft.
The sled stayed put and the man and dog boarded the plane, which returned to Anchorage seventy minutes later.
Waving goodbye to Lao Daijin and his daughter, Zhang Jing went to the airport and they went to the hospital.
In his heart, Zhang Jing secretly apologized to his father and daughter.
If, just if, those silver owners investigate themselves, they will first go to Lao Daijin to confirm something.
Lao Daijin will prove that Zhang Jing took nothing with him, his bag was empty, and the plane was also empty.
Perfectly removing suspicion.
However, those two boxes of silver are not a small number, and there is a high probability that both Lao Daijin and his daughter will be killed.
That evening, Zhang Jing returned to the Whitefish Town winery, and Ding Jiaqi was also there.
First, there was a deep hug. Ding Jiaqi asked with concern, "Brother Zhang, are you in danger?"
"There is no danger. Smarties is very powerful. He can catch game every time. He also met a poor father and daughter."
Zhang Jing took the time to briefly introduce Lao Daijin and his daughter.
"Brother Zhang," Ding Jiaqi took Zhang Jing's arm affectionately, "you have a kind heart, so you have always had good luck and have not been in danger."
This sentence is like a thorn.
Zhang Jing slowly took his arm out of Ding Jiaqi's arms and said in a stiff tone, "I have never been a good person. I only care about money."
Looking at her boyfriend's back, Ding Jiaqi realized something and asked tentatively: "Brother Zhang, do you have a clear conscience for everything you do?"
"It's none of your business." Zhang Jing avoided answering.
At this time, Qu Xiaoqing walked over from the door nonchalantly, greeted Zhang Jing and asked, "Is Alaska fun?"
"It's fun, skating on the ice, wading in the snow in the larch forest, and there are animals to keep you warm at night."
Qu Xiaoqing was excited, "What animal is it? Is it cute?"
"Cute," Zhang Jing described, "a fluffy big bad wolf."
Qu Xiaoqing was unhappy and complained to Ding Jiaqi, "You care about your boyfriend. Is there such a thing as scaring people?"
Ding Jiaqi just pretended that she didn't hear her friend's complaint. She still remembered what happened just now and reminded Zhang Jing tactfully, "Brother Zhang, it's not too late to remedy the situation. Don't leave any regrets to yourself."
Zhang Jing stood with a faint feeling of guilt in his heart, which was magnified countless times by Ding Jiaqi.
After thinking for eight or seven seconds, Zhang Jing took out his mobile phone and dialed.
"Hello Mr. Dakin, I would like to invite you to work in Seattle..."
