When the meal was over, they were invited to sit in the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This seems to be Liu Zijing's house. The sturdy white house, the top is like a yurt half raised and spread, the internal facilities are simple and clean, and it does not look big, at most the size of a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom in modern times. At the door to change shoes, there is a greased wooden table, in which there are no four-legged chairs, only a few purple round cushions placed next to the table. The smooth brown-black floor was covered with a navy blue velvet carpet, and clusters of red and gold bowl-sized flowers bloomed faintly on the stalls.

On the ground, which can make more than a dozen people, only Mama is kneeling at the table at this time, and in front of her is a small stove with a fire. She held a somewhat shabby pu fan in her old hand, fanning the fire slowly, the slightest sweet and fruity fragrance wafted out from the mouth of the dilapidated teapot, and the fine white mist quietly dispersed, like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, indescribably quiet and soft.

"Mama, what is this tea called? It's super delicious! Gu Lian, who was standing in the place where she was changing shoes, smelled the familiar aroma of fruit tea from a distance, and couldn't help but light up her eyes, and walked up to her and asked. I don't know why, I've drunk several glasses, but I still don't think it's enough. Ever since Wei Xuan snatched the teapot, she felt uneasy at the dining table, she couldn't hear what others said, her eyes couldn't stop drifting to the teapot, even if she drank water desperately, she still felt thirsty. The slightest itch spreads from the throat and eyes, like a small fire slowly burning the throat, making people feel a little irritable, and they don't feel satisfied until they smell the fragrance of tea at this moment.

…… Is this a concentrated outbreak of the foodie attribute that has been suppressed by the declining standard of living since the expedition base? She couldn't help but think so.

Mama's figure looked very small, smaller than Gu Lian and Wei Xuan, sitting there, with her back bent, as if she was about to shrink into a ball. Hearing this, she raised her eyes and smiled, wrinkles spread from her mouth, and she whispered in a hoarse voice, "It's honey...... Phantom Tea ......"

"Psychedelic tea?" Gu Lian blinked.

"It's honey tea." Liu Zijing said with a smile, and walked out of the room inside, followed by a girl. Gu Lian noticed that she was the little girl called "Xiao Xiao", and couldn't help but smile at her. She seemed to remember her, and after seeing Gu Lian, she suddenly shrank behind Liu Zijing.

"Don't scare people." Bai Hengyuan laughed at her in the back.

“…… Not really. Gu Lian argued, but seeing that the little girl was like a snake and scorpion, she could only resign herself to her fate and whispered under their smiling gaze, "...... Probably. ”

"I'm sorry, this kid is a little scared." Liu Zijing explained with a smile.

It's strange, did she do anything terrible? Didn't you? She has been more popular with children since she was a child, why is she hated so much in this era?

Not...... Illusions, all illusions......

Gu Lian glanced at Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan happened to receive her gaze, raised her head slightly, her phoenix eyes were bent under her black hair, bright as a pearl, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, sister?" Are you thirsty again? ”

Ask while knowing the answer! Gu Lian grinded her teeth and told herself that a young boy could not become a "normal" standard.

She looked at Xiao Xiao again, thinking to herself, could it be that the tutor here is stricter, and the action of handing her food just now was mistaken by the adults for her taking the initiative to eat, so she was scolded?

She was thinking about whether to talk to Liu Zijing, but she saw Xiao Xiao's gaze quietly cast. However, when she bumped into Gu Lian's sight, the little girl trembled again and shrank back suddenly.

“……”

Illusion...... It's all delusion...... Gu Lian told herself not to be discouraged, depressed, and feel irreparably hopeless about the world.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your hospitality today. This is a little gift from us, not a tribute, please smile. When everyone sat down, Chen Zhi took out a gift that was "not a tribute" - two bottles of high-count wine, two blankets, and a small bag of air-dried beef.

In an era of inconvenient transportation, difficult access to food, and a return to the pre-liberation level of trade overnight, Chen Zhi's gift was a choice made by fully considering the productivity of a small and micro base with only 36 people. These supplies are not too much—compared to the top brass of the expeditionary bases, but they are also a lot less - compared to 90 percent of the bases in the world. In fact, with their level of financial resources, it's not that they can't give more, not to mention anything else, that is, the materials sent by the expedition base at the time of parting are enough for them to be uncles in this wilderness, but the so-called wealth is not exposed, and when the relationship is not deep, it is taboo for Pingbaihui to have too much contact with each other, not to mention that they don't know what the Phantom Base insists on keeping them for.

If you just set up a toll booth in this traffic and intercept pedestrians in exchange for a toll, if there are other purposes......

Chen Zhi raised his eyes, and his deep eyes looked directly at Liu Zijing, and this young man who had been advancing and retreating with enthusiasm and generosity was also looking at him with a smile.

Although the young man's response has always been faultless, giving full play to the spirit of ownership, and never letting the scene cool down, this can't hide the fact that they were semi-forced to stay, if they hadn't been strong enough at the beginning, the malice they had just spread towards Gu Lian and Wei Xuan might not have been withdrawn so quickly.

Chen Zhi's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, thinking coldly. It may not only be the young leader who is active on the surface of this base that should be noted, but also the discipline shown by the residents of the base as a whole, as well as their relaxed attitude.

- One moment ago, he was still coveting Gu Lian and Wei Xuan, but the next moment, under Liu Zijing's signal, Qi Qi retracted his malice, and he was even more talking and laughing at the table.

This is not an individual act, but a group act - and this cannot but give the impression that they have been trained and even accustomed to it.

If nothing else, now after the banquet is dispersed, Liu Zijing will explain his intentions......

Open. Fingers tapped on the table, and there was a dull sound again, and Chen Zhijing waited for the other party to play his cards.

At the same time, Liu Zijing was also secretly observing each other, with his own calculations in his heart. No one had passed through here for more than half a month, and it was soon a two-month ice period, when it was impossible for anyone to walk outside. The Phantom Base is about to face a harsh winter, scarce food, a limited number of people, and ice age specialties that may appear at any time - snow wolves, ice foxes, frozen fish, ice skeletons......

At first, I heard that the people who came were driving a good bus, the number of people was small, and there were women, Liu Zijing thought that the young master who didn't know where he came from was traveling, even if he was surrounded by powerful thugs, but it was not worth mentioning in terms of the number of people alone, but he didn't expect that the men who got off the car brought him a sense of oppression one by one......

Not to mention others, just the man in front of him sitting calmly in front of him, he had an irrepressible sense of fear. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, as if he couldn't see the end of the abyss, and he was already afraid before the official confrontation. He didn't have to look closely to feel the constant flow of oppressive force, and he clearly knew that he had the upper hand in momentum, and he had exhausted all his strength just by smiling like this.

It can't go on like this...... He needs to find a breakthrough to break this momentum. If you don't break it, you can't talk on an equal footing, and it's hard to even make a request...... What to do......

Liu Zijing saw Gu Lian smiling and drinking honey tea out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Anyway, that's all I have to do now......

After a pause, someone in the room finally broke the silence.

"Mr. Chen, although this question is a bit abrupt...... Liu Zijing raised his head with a smile, hiding the uneasiness in his heart, and said, "If you are interested, you might as well stay in the Phantom Base and develop together with us?" (To be continued.) )
