The fat man just nodded slightly.
He had heard from others before how hateful this Han leader was, and now it was actually happening to him.
In this way, he was also afraid that this person would do something even more unfavorable to them in the future.
"I just think that now that we are in his territory, it will be very difficult to find out his conspiracy."
Everyone understands this truth, but it is not something they can have the final say on.
But it was already late, and Zhang Qihai didn't want to keep spending time on this matter.
He immediately spoke to everyone.
"Alright, alright, let's go to sleep now, otherwise we won't have enough energy to deal with the things we have to do on the mountain tomorrow."
After all, they are now considered free laborers, working for others for free. If they don't get a good rest at night, they will definitely not have enough energy tomorrow, and then they will definitely be scolded by their superiors.
Everyone naturally understood Zhang Qihai's intention, and nodded gently, and then gradually fell asleep.
At this moment, the people in other compartments couldn't help but speak up.
"Who do you think they are? I feel like they are a little unusual."
"You've noticed it, too. I think so too. After all, this leader has never treated us like this before."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. If it weren't for them, we would have been dead this time."
What they said does make sense. In the fire just now, it was the three of them who reacted quickly and rushed into the fire without regard for their own safety to save them. Otherwise, they would have been buried in the fire long ago. Now talking about them behind their backs is indeed not a good thing.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Yes, yes, let's go to bed quickly and stop talking about anything else."
Then everyone fell asleep one after another.
Early the next morning, a unfamiliar man appeared in front of them. The man did not look like the fierce and ferocious boss before, but rather a delicate one.
The man gently opened the door and said, "It's time now, get up and work."
Before this, the boss treated them like ants and did not regard them as human beings at all.
Anyone who disobeyed would be beaten and kicked, and he was extremely harsh. I didn't expect that this person was completely different.
Everyone was a little uncomfortable with this and looked at each other, but didn't know what to say in the end. In the end, they could only nod immediately and then hurried to where they should go.
Seeing them like this, Zhang Qihai couldn't help but look in the direction of Qi Tiezui. The two of them exchanged glances and naturally understood what the other party wanted to express. At this moment, the three of them immediately got up and went to the woodshed to chop firewood.
The fat man couldn't help but mutter to himself along the way.
"Did you notice? The new guy here seems to be very polite to us."
After hearing Ci's words, everyone nodded. They could naturally feel it.
The man was more than polite to them; it was as if he looked at them differently.
This is completely different from what I've encountered before and is indeed a bit strange.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, so at this time they will be more vigilant to avoid falling into the enemy's trap.
"We should be careful now. Who knows what they are up to? If we lose our lives at the cost of it, it will not be worth it."
Qi Tiezui looked around vigilantly and spoke in a very low voice to the two people beside him.
When everyone heard this, they naturally understood what he meant.
The fat man then nodded gently and said.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
This made Zhang Qihai feel relieved.
After arriving at the woodshed, they found that the work they needed to do today was much less than yesterday.
A bad thought suddenly arose in Qi Tiezui's mind.
"Don't you think he wants us to help him do something bad? Why is he suddenly treating us so well?"
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Qihai hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qihai couldn't help but nodded.
"Yeah, I thought that might be the case. Yesterday the two of us did more work than this. I didn't expect that they had three people today, but he still reduced a lot."
The fat man had originally been laughing happily because he thought it was such a small job, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering what kind of conspiracy the other person had in mind.
At this moment, he couldn't help swallowing.
"Is what you said true?"
At this point, there was really no need for Zhang Qihai to continue deceiving him, so he nodded without hesitation.
"Of course it's true. Why would we lie to you? He's acting this way for no apparent reason. There must be something wrong. We should be careful."
Hearing this, Qi Tiezui immediately nodded and said.
Chapter 436 The situation is not good
"Yes, as the saying goes, there must be something fishy when things are out of the ordinary. He is being nice to us for no apparent reason. We must be more careful."
After hearing the two people's explanation, the fat man took a long, deep breath and began to think of some bad possibilities in his mind.
But now he also knew that it was useless to think too much, and he had to do the things at hand well.
“Let’s get to work first.”
As soon as Zhang Qihai finished speaking, the two men immediately started chopping wood with axes.
Originally, the amount of wood they had to chop had been reduced a lot, and with the three of them taking turns chopping wood, the speed was naturally very fast.
Before long, all the work in front of them had been completed by them.
At this moment, Zhang Qihai raised his hand and looked around carefully, and found something very strange.
Today there was no one around to supervise them while they worked.
"There aren't many people around today. Are they just taking care of us like this?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tiezui raised his head, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked around carefully. Indeed, he did not find anyone guarding around.
The more this happened, the weirder it felt to him.
"Let's get out of here first."
After all, they have finished all these things now, so there is no need to stay here.
And now they also really want to know whether the fat man’s grandfather has found any information about Zhang Qishan.
The three of them agreed with this very much, so they immediately left the place, went to a restaurant, and ordered a few dishes at random.
Fortunately, they still had some money in their hands, so they could order some food when they were hungry. If they really ate the food provided by the post station, they would not be able to get enough to eat.
Seeing the food on the table, Qi Tiezui's eyes lit up a little and he spoke happily.
"Oh my god, I finally got to eat something good. It really made me tired to death."
Although the workload today was much less, it was still a big challenge for him.
But the fat man next to him still had a very ugly expression on his face. After all these things happened, he felt more and more that this was not a place for people to stay.
Even though there were a lot of delicious food in front of him, he still couldn't fully process his emotions.
Zhang Qihai, who was eating happily at the side, noticed that the fat man had a very ugly look on his face, and asked with some concern.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
But at this moment, the fat man seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. He didn't hear what Zhang Qihai said at all. His movements were very mechanical. He ate the food and his face didn't seem to look very good.
At this moment, Qi Tiezui must have quickly noticed that something was wrong with the fat man. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, frowning with some concern and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
I thought he was working too hard and was too tired, so he didn't have much energy now.
After hearing this, he came back to his senses, shook his head and sighed.
"I just feel like we can't stay here any longer. There are too many conspiracies here, and we don't know what the leader wants to do."
Not only that, he seemed to feel a little guilty. If he hadn't brought them here in the first place, they wouldn't have to suffer like this now.
Hearing this, Zhang Qihai waved his hand and spoke without caring.
"At worst, I can just fight back. I've never been afraid of anything."
Although Qi Tiezui was a little scared in his heart, he would not be afraid as long as Zhang Qihai was by his side.
So at this moment he naturally raised his hand, patted his chest confidently, and spoke.
"Don't worry, our eldest brother is still here. As long as he is here, he can handle everything properly."
Although this was the case, the fat man couldn't help but worry in his heart. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the floor, and slowly placed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, with a look of guilt on his face.
"I just feel that I brought you here but didn't get any information about the person you were looking for. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have experienced this. I really feel sorry for you."
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he acted like this because he felt guilty.
But in fact, Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui never blamed him from the beginning, and if it weren't for them, they would never have reached such a point now.
"How can you think like that? You've helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, how could we have found even a single clue?"
Zhang Qihai also felt that after getting along with this fat man, he felt that he was indeed a very honest person.
And when he heard these words, he became more certain in his heart that the fat man was indeed a good person.
That's why he spoke to him with a serious face at this moment.
"Alright, alright. We really want to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get so much information. And don't be sad any more. Finish your meal quickly and go find your grandfather to see if there are any reliable clues."
Upon hearing this, the fat man was encouraged and immediately nodded and spoke.
"Okay, I'll eat right now and won't let my mind wander."
After saying this, he picked up the bowl and began to eat the food seriously.
After they finished eating, they prepared to leave and head towards where his grandfather was.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the door. The fat man raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, but found that there was no one answering.
He found it strange. Logically, his grandfather should be able to hear his footsteps.
