Chapter 269

Xia Enxue stopped the car in front of the man, turned off the engine and got out of the car.

"Hello."

"Oh! Hello." The man replied as he stood up.

Although he is an old man, he is very strong.The upper body was bare, and the muscles in the arms and shoulders were bulging.If you hadn't seen the deep wrinkles on his face, it would be no exaggeration to say that he was a middle-aged man.Like the old man yesterday and the day before, he was wearing black trousers with ragged trousers.

Xia Enxue was just about to say something to the old man when she and the little squirrel noticed something almost at the same time.

"There is a railway..."

"There is a railway..." the two said softly at the same time.

Not far behind the old man, there is a two-wheeled trailer.After that, there is the railway, which has been lost in the depths of the rainforest.

The old man picked up a sledgehammer beside him and said energetically.

"Oh, I did it all."

"Are you building a railway?"

"That's right, it's for running the train. Lay sleepers, pad the rails, and fix them with nuts."

"Did you do it alone?" asked the little squirrel.

"What are you talking about? You can't get used to how to work. The materials are all here, look at this, and this, and this." The old man pointed to the upturned sleepers, rails and nuts on both sides.

"I have a very bad feeling." The little squirrel muttered softly.

Xia Enxue asked.

"It's work, right?"

"Of course, always." The old man replied with a smile.

"always……"

"...Pinch your fingers and count for 50 years, right? I'm not very good at counting."

"..."

"I have been employed by the railway company since I was about 15 years old. Later, the superiors said that the dismantled railway might need to be reused, so I was assigned to repair it. I have not been ordered to stop yet."

"It seems like you haven't been back to your hometown yet, right?" Xia Enxue asked as if to confirm.

"Yes, that's right. Both parents in the family are sick and can't work. I have to earn the wages of three people."

"So it's like this..." After Xia Enxue finished speaking, the little squirrel interrupted.

"You have to work harder."

"Oh, thank you."

Xia Enxue started the little squirrel's engine without a word.

"Where are you going?" the old man asked with a smile.

……

There is a road where the forest meets the river.

The lush forest was divided into two by a clear stream.The soil filled up to assume the role of a dam has just become a road.The road is located high above the water, slightly higher than the forest floor.

The soil on the road is quite hard, pressed very flat, and the width of the road is also very wide.It seems that there are usually a lot of vehicles coming and going.

But now on this road, only one car is speeding at a high speed.

Behind the rider of the car, the sun has just revealed its dazzling face from below the horizon, and the shadow of the rider is stretched very long in the direction of travel.

The figure of the rider is very thin, so the shadow is also thin and long.

It's Xia Enxue.

She was wearing a brown coat. Since the hem of the coat was very long, the excess part was wrapped around her legs. She wore a hat with a small brim on her head.Some of the hats look like flying caps, and some look like military uniform hats.To prevent the wind from blowing away, the rider tied the straps of the earmuffs in a knot under the palatal area.He also wore a pair of silver-framed goggles on his face, but the color was peeling off in some places.

The humid morning air of the forest hit the rider's thin and powerful face.

"It's a nice road! But watch out, you're speeding!" shouted the little squirrel.

"What are you talking about! Little squirrel, have you suddenly become old?" Xia Enxue yelled and replied, the accelerator was not released at all, and the gear was always set to the highest position.The sound of the car's engine was as loud as if the shock absorber had fallen off, and the vibration was so violent that one wondered if there was something wrong.
