Ma Ruoxi looked at him with a complicated expression for a long time. Finally, she stood up and walked to his side. She grabbed his left shoulder with both hands and wrapped her right leg around his right shoulder, hanging down in front of his chest. Once her right calf was firmly grasped by him, she took advantage of the momentum to wrap her left leg around his left shoulder and straddle his neck. Her hands had no place to hold on, so she naturally pressed her hands on Li Rui's head. However, she felt that this was not safe, so she wrapped her hands around Li Rui's neck and interlocked her fingers to make a noose. Only then did she say, "Okay, get up."
"Uh … choke … ah … you … you want to strangle me to death, huh …"
She was only thinking about how not to fall off Li Rui, so she didn't think about Li Rui. As a result, the noose formed by her hands was stuck on Li Rui's throat, causing him to be unable to breathe. Hearing his words, her face turned red with embarrassment and she quickly let go of his neck. She said apologetically, "I … I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't be angry." Her hands still had no place to put, so she could only hug his forehead.
Li Rui grabbed her slender calves with both hands and took a few deep breaths. His waist suddenly straightened and his large body stood up. Ma Ruoxi felt as if she was riding on clouds and mist. She felt as if she was about to fly and cried out, "Aiya!"
Li Rui stood up and said, "What are you crying for?" Ma Ruoxi's face was slightly red. She said embarrassedly, "It's nothing. You stood up too quickly and scared me … you're really strong. You can still stand up while carrying an adult like me."
Li Rui ignored her and carried her to the edge of the pit. He looked up and saw that her head was already above the edge of the pit. All she had to do was stretch out her arms and push against the ground outside the pit and she would be able to climb out. He said, "Alright, you can try to climb out."
"Oh," Ma Ruoxi said. She placed her hands on the ground outside the pit and tried to jump up. However, she was riding on Li Rui's neck and there was nothing for her to use as a foothold. How could she jump? He tried a few times but to no avail. He groaned and said, "I can't get up."
Li Rui thought about it and understood. He let go of her legs and placed them under her feet. He supported her feet with his palms and said, "Try again."
Now that Ma Ruoxi could borrow the force, she naturally began to see the results. She slowly straightened her body and climbed out. Li Rui used his palms as her stepping stones and slowly lifted her up as she climbed. Fortunately, Ma Ruoxi's body wasn't heavy, so he was able to support himself with both hands. After two to three minutes, Ma Ruoxi finally managed to escape from the pit.
However, Li Rui was even more tired than her. He was sweating profusely and had to sit down and rest for a while.
"Why did you come out?"
After Ma Ruoxi crawled out, she quickly turned around and asked him who was in the pit. Her expression showed that she was very concerned about him.
Li Rui said, "I'm so tall, wouldn't it be easy for me to go out? I'll rest first. You don't have to worry about me. "
Ma Ruoxi didn't say anything else. She just stared at him with her eyes wide open. Her gaze was filled with curiosity and gratitude. There was also something else that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
Li Rui rested for about two minutes. When he had recovered most of his strength, he walked to a corner at the bottom of the pit and ran with big strides. He rushed to the opposite corner in a few steps and leaped up. His arms grabbed the sides of the pit on both sides and his legs kicked the wall a few times. He exerted strength in his waist and climbed up in a few steps. The reason why he chose to climb the opposite corner was because the triangular structure was the most stable and wouldn't collapse easily.
Ma Ruoxi looked at him in surprise and admiration. She muttered, "You're amazing. You jumped out of such a deep pit in an instant." Li Rui smiled at her and said, "You're the amazing one. You fell into such a big pit in an instant." Ma Ruoxi's face turned red from the sarcasm, but she couldn't get angry. She snorted and said, "I wanted to stand at the edge of the pit and look inside. Who knew that the sand at the edge of the pit was so soft? It collapsed when I stepped on it."
Li Rui smiled and glanced at her feet. He was surprised to see that she was still barefoot. The pair of high heels were not far behind her, but she didn't put them on. She was probably worried about her own safety and didn't care to put them on. His heart warmed at the thought. He walked over to pick up the pair of high heels and put them at her feet. He said, "Hurry up and put them on. Don't let the sand hurt your feet."
Before Ma Ruoxi could say anything, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and muttered to herself, "It's Zhang Yong calling." Then she picked up the call.
Li Rui looked at her and saw that her hair was a little messy, her face was a mess, her clothes were stained with sand, and the stockings on her feet were a little dirty. But it still couldn't hide her beauty. He stared at her slender feet and thought of how many times he had touched them but didn't have the time to play with them. It was a pity.
Ma Ruoxi quickly finished the call and put the phone away. She said to him, "Zhang Yong came looking for us, but he couldn't find us. I told him to wait at the entrance of the chemical plant. We'll go back now."
Li Rui said, "Oh. Then put on your shoes and we'll go back."
Ma Ruoxi nodded and squatted on one leg. She first poured the sand out of the two high heels and then patted the sand on her feet. When it was almost clean, she put her feet in and put them on.
Li Rui looked down at her and saw that after she squatted down, the effect of the jeans on her body became more obvious. He saw that her buttocks were sticking out and her legs were curled up. Her curves were either round or slender. Coupled with the high heels on her feet, she was extremely sexy. In this desolate and monotonous gravel river, watching such a beauty put on her shoes was a very good experience.
Ma Ruoxi put on her shoes and stood up. She tidied up her hair and patted the clothes on her lower body. When everything was clean, she smiled at Li Rui and said, "Director Li, thank you for saving me. I really don't know how to thank you. I …"
Li Rui waved his hand and interrupted her. He said, "I'm sorry. This is a public place. I don't want to talk about private things. Let's go back quickly. Don't we have to go to the District Public Security Bureau for an interview?"
Ma Ruoxi was stunned. Then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her pretty face turned red. She said angrily, "I was just about to praise you for being a man. In order to save me, you didn't hesitate to show me your ability to hold a grudge."
Li Rui laughed and said, "This is not holding a grudge. This is called always remembering Reporter Ma's teachings and reminders."
Ma Ruoxi saw that he laughed and realized that he was joking with her. She laughed and said, "Okay, I was wrong before. I always said strange things to you. You are a big person and don't lower yourself to my level. But you also have to think about me. I left Beijing at five in the morning and rushed to Dongshui Village to interview you in Qingyang City. In the end, your staff in the northern district of the city stopped me for two hours. They didn't do anything and even made me suspect that Qingyang City was obstructing our interview. It made me very unhappy. After you came, I didn't dare to trust you. I always felt that you were trying to fool us … "
Li Rui was slightly shocked. She got up at five in the morning? It was no wonder that she was in a bad mood after being stopped for two hours. If it had been anyone else, they would not have been in a good mood. They nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand. I also hope that you can understand me. Let's understand each other and understand each other. Let's do this interview well."
Ma Ruoxi said with a smile, "The interview is definitely not a problem. With your help, the interview should be completed smoothly. Now I only hope that you don't hold a grudge against me. I don't want to leave an enemy behind after coming to Qingyang City for an interview. Haha."
Li Rui laughed and said, "If I held a grudge against you, I wouldn't have saved you just now. I would have filled the hole."
Ma Ruoxi was surprised and amused. She said angrily, "Oh, you are so cruel. You want to bury me alive. Haha …"
The two of them talked and laughed as if they were good friends. All the previous unpleasantness disappeared. It was as if they had been so friendly ever since they met.
After talking and laughing for a while, the two of them returned to the hill. They went through the west wall of the chemical plant to the main entrance and met up with Zhang Yong. The three of them returned to the village. Li Rui asked the district cadre who helped in the morning to drive the three of them to the North District Public Security Bureau.
Ma Ruoxi came to the North District Public Security Bureau for an interview because she wanted to ask the leader of the bureau two things. First, why did they send a large number of police officers to surround Dongshui Village in the first place? Second, what did the bureau think about Liu Erkui's shooting death? She wanted to use these two interviews to inquire about the major problems in law enforcement in the North District Public Security Bureau. She also wanted to take the opportunity to reveal the various problems exposed in the process of legalizing in China.
Of course, even if she didn't do this interview, there were still many problems in the process of legalizing in China. For example, in the early years, in order to attract investment, the local leaders often turned a blind eye to the illegal activities of foreign businessmen. Some Taiwanese businessmen were caught by the Public Security Bureau for prostitution. The local leaders directly called the Public Security Bureau Director and scolded him, asking him to release the businessmen immediately. The Public Security Bureau Director didn't dare to disobey. He had to obediently release the businessmen and apologize for a long time. In fact, this was still the embodiment of "rule by people" and "politics". It had nothing to do with the legal system. It was even a sarcastic ridicule of the legal system. There were too many similar cases to mention.
It could only be said that there was still a long way to go before a society ruled by law, and it would definitely be very difficult. People like Ma Ruoxi, through their work and efforts, through the supervision of public opinion and news, to spread the concept of the legal system and common sense to the government, officials, and the people, so that the process of legalizing could be faster. Li Rui really admired Ma Ruoxi and Zhang Yong for this. Zhang Yong was still a little lacking, after all, he was a man. However, Ma Ruoxi, as a delicate little woman, was able to wake up at five in the morning to travel a long distance, walk across mountains and rivers in high heels, interview and investigate the truth of the incident, and not complain about being tired. This kind of willpower and attitude was truly admirable.
