Chapter Forty-Eight: Old Acquaintances
Xu Qianyun looked at Li Xun silently with her eyes, wanting to give him a signal.
But Li Xun didn't seem to have heard them at all, he didn't look at Xu Qianyun, he didn't seem to be interested in this Captain Zhang at all, and he didn't seem to take these warnings to heart at all. He put on a piece of clothing, stretched his waist, walked to the river by himself, squatted down and washed his face with water.
Xu Qianyun looked at the back of Li Xun leaving, sighed, stomped his feet, and didn't say anything more.
At this time, Director Liu said faintly: "You are in love, what about Captain Zhang? What about Captain Li? Does Mr. Li care? He is a strange person, strange people have always been mavericks in doing things, he only needs to do his own business, regardless of other people's affairs, and he has completed what he should do." You want to warn him to pay attention to Captain Zhang, which in itself is naΓ―ve. β
Xu Qianyun said aggrievedly: "Where is it naΓ―ve? As long as Captain Zhang feels that there are unstable factors, it is always one-size-fits-all, no nonsense." If Li Xun accidentally offended him, he would suddenly pull out his gun, who would suffer the loss?"
Director Liu whispered: "The dragon python under the water is avoiding him, and the dragon python is afraid of him." Do you think he's afraid of humans? And, judging by his means, he's going to drain the water and go head-to-head with the dragon python. With the strength to fight the dragon python alone, what kind of threat do you think Captain Zhang can pose to him in front of him? You're not naΓ―ve?"
Xu Qianyun sighed and didn't say anything.
Director Liu said again: "You are like threatening an adult and saying: Be careful, that child will spit on people." β
"I ......" Xu Qianyun wanted to say something.
Director Liu turned around and left, and as soon as he turned around, he suddenly put on a flattering smiling face and went along the road in the direction of Xujiashan Village.
He was ready to meet the group of experts halfway.
Lin Qingshan had nothing to do, lit a cigarette and took a puff, leaned against the root of the tree and sat on the ground and said, "I can't figure it out, how can such a big snake appear in the world? β
ββ¦β¦β
After about ten minutes, there was a noise.
Lin Qingshan and the others looked back, but saw that the jungle was as bright as day, and the light of strong flashlights was everywhere, illuminating the night transparently.
Then, I heard Director Liu's laughter:
"Hehe, expert cow, pay attention to your feet, it's too dark this night, come, I'll help you, I'll explore the way for you." β
"Don't don't, Specialist Xu, go slowly, there are too many branches in this tree, and your face is shaved. Wait for me, I'll break off the branch in front of you and you'll go." β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Qianyun and Lin Qingshan glanced at each other, both feeling helpless, sometimes feeling that Director Liu's speech was particularly unfathomable, as if he had seen through the world. But sometimes I feel that Director Liu is a villain in the market, and he has a philistine face.
I can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood, and I can't figure out what he looks like.
Lin Qingshan stood to the side expressionlessly, and made a gesture to let his soldiers put away their guns and stand up.
Xu Qianyun's warning, he still took it to heart, although he was very unconvinced, but he didn't like to make extraneous branches, so he had to slap the tiger's buttocks.
Xu Qianyun put on a smiling face and greeted him.
Walking in the front were two young people in sportswear, the two young people were expressionless, holding a strong flashlight in their hands, just leading the way in front of their heads, and they didn't see whether they had guns or other weapons on their bodies, just like ordinary young people, except for being a little indifferent.
Xu Qianyun's pupils shrank, carefully bypassed the two young men, and exhaled Director Liu, who seemed to be a eunuch supporting Lafayette, and supported an old man in sportswear with a smile:
"Oh, Specialist Xu, you're here. β
As he spoke, he hugged the gray-haired old man in casual clothes.
The old man had a sign on his chest that read: Xu Mingyuan, a professor in the biology department.
Expert Xu smiled: "It's Xiao Xu, haha, I've heard of you, your seventeenth bureau has made a great contribution this time, so that we can still see this kind of strange beast in our lifetime, hahahaha." β
Xu Qianyun was stunned, she couldn't understand why these experts were all jubilant when they came here, just like an elderly mountaineering team going out to travel, relaxed and contented, without any sense of tension and urgency at all.
Yes, it may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the feeling of veteran experts who have been immersed in biology all their lives when they learn that there is a species in the world that they do not know about, and that this species has the potential to make biology take a step forward.
Xu Qianyun greeted those old experts and professors one by one, and behaved very humbly and sensibly.
"Cow expert, you're here too?"
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time. β
"Grandpa Xu, are you tired after a day's journey?"
ββ¦β¦β
The opportunity to slap the sycophant was snatched away by Xu Qianyun like this, and Director Liu stood in front of him silently opening the way, with a black face, not speaking, and unhappy.
And it is worth saying that these experts and professors are completely different from the domineering they imagined.
There is no shelf, amiable, all of them are like old ladies who go out on a trip, with brisk steps and elated.
After a day of helicopter riding, I didn't show any fatigue, I didn't sleep for a day and a night, and I was not sleepy in the second half of the night to catch up on the mountain road, but I was like a chicken blood, humming songs all the way, chatting happily to the river.
And this group of experts walked in the middle, but the front and left were all those young people wearing casual clothes, holding strong flashlights in their hands and looking indifferent. These young men didn't say a word, just silently guarded in all directions.
After searching the crowd for a while, Xu Qianyun saw a middle-aged man hanging behind the expert like a ghost. The middle-aged man was wearing a combat uniform, holding nothing in his hand, and carrying a pistol at his waist, but he had no other feeling of being extraordinary.
When Xu Qianyun saw this person, she hurriedly smiled cautiously and said hello: "Long time no see, Captain Zhang." β
The middle-aged man sighed, looked at Xu Qianyun, and said in a cold voice: "Who told you to set up the camp by the river? They have to rush over, and I can't stop it, but if there is an accident this time, you can't run away." β
Xu Qianyun laughed dryly, her face was a little stiff, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
At this time, he saw that Expert Xu suddenly stopped, looked at the river, and showed a shocked face.
Everyone was puzzled: "What's the matter, Lao Xu?"
"Did you notice something wrong?"
ββ¦β¦β
Expert Xu trembled his fingers, pointed to the figure stretching out under the moonlight by the river, and shouted excitedly: "Li Xun, is it Li Xun?" It turns out that you are that Mr. Li, Li Xun, is it you?"
Li Xun, who was moving his muscles and bones by the river, was stunned, turned his head suspiciously, looked at the group of people, frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly showed a smile:
"Alas, I thought it was an expert, it was you, Lao Xu. β
"Ah, hahaha, it's really Li Xun, I haven't seen you for eight years. They all said you were dead too, and I didn't believe it. Haha, it's really you. β
Expert Xu's excited eyes were moist at this time, and he ran quickly towards the river with his legs.
Li Xun also smiled and walked towards Expert Xu.
The old acquaintance met, but it was not understood by outsiders, and I saw that the middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Xu Expert like a ghost, stopped him, and said in a deep voice: "You can't get close to the river!"
