The mountain road is rugged and difficult, the heavy snow is not a big deal, the difficulty is that the snow has been falling for a few days, and it is fine when the sun is shining during the day, and the snow on the ground melts into something soft and milkshake-like, although the march is difficult, but because the village accountant sent them an old and experienced driver, they can still move forward. But as soon as the sun set, the ice and snow became incomparably hard and thick, and from a distance, the road ahead was like a cold and bright mirror in the slight twilight, embedded in the mountain road.

"Hell! We really can't go any further, otherwise we will have to fall to the bottom of the cliff before we reach the county seat. ”

While the villager driving the farm car got out of the car to smoke a bag of cigarettes and rest, Qi Yun also jumped out of the car and took the opportunity to move his hands and feet that were numb in the car. She exhaled a long breath, and the milky white smoke instantly covered her face, and the Hong Arrow standing beside her could only let out a bitter smile from her throat.

"It's true that I don't dare to go anymore, but spend the night here? I'm afraid ......"

Qi Yun followed the direction of Hong Jian's finger to look at the body of the agricultural vehicle, because this village is not far from the county seat, although the mountain road is rugged, but the accounting brother expected that they would arrive in the daytime, so there was nothing on the car except an old army coat prepared for the driver...... Well, even if Qi Yun can not mind the oil stains and odors on that dress, but there is only one one, sleeping in the open car on such a stepmother-like snowy day, covering that coat I don't know if I can keep warm, and if she does, will she watch Hong Jian turn into a popsicle the next morning?

In the face of the irresistible natural disaster, Hong Jian was also helpless, frowning and thinking for a long time before saying:

"You're a girl, and you're sleeping in the driver's cab. It doesn't matter if we two big men are covered together, sleeping in the car with a military coat together will be a night's work. ”

Qi Yun glanced at the back of the squatting in the wind and snow and smoking, the back was old and dry, and after a puff of smoke rose, it caused him to cough strongly.

"Forget it, I've never seen you so generous to others," Qi Yun said: "Just our driver's master, where is the 'big man'?" Don't say that you haven't discussed it with him yet, even if you discuss it with him and he agrees to you, but with his physical condition, I'm still afraid that he will freeze into tuberculosis overnight! ”

"Your mouth is bad enough, dare to say that a country man is not a big man? Be careful that people are desperate with you......"

Hong Jian kept talking, but he criticized Qi Yun, but his face became redder and redder, fortunately Qi Yun didn't pay attention, just hit Hong Jian with his elbow, revealing a childlike expression:

"Let's put on our coats and talk all night, as long as we don't fall asleep, it's not so cold...... You're fine with not sleeping all night, right? It's not like we didn't do this kind of thing when we were young, do you remember when you were in the fourth grade of elementary school, my dad was on a business trip and my mom worked overtime, and I was still in kindergarten 'foster' at your house? Tsk, but you're old now......"

Hong Jian responded angrily: "Don't worry! I'm not old enough to think I am! ”

The night air in the mountains is sweet, inhaled into the mouth and nose, like a small piece of thin and crisp crushed rock sugar, and the sweet and cold taste spreads in the heart little by little. The night is already deep, and it is rare to see the stars in the city now, but there is a starry sky and a brilliant Milky Way, but despite such a fine weather, it is so cold that people can't sleep. Qi Yun has been chattering and talking to Hong Jian, Hong Jian looked sideways at the faint coquettish expression when she spoke, and he could vaguely see the innocent and coquettish little girl in the second grade of primary school. said that the two of them built a coat together, but in fact, when she was chatting excitedly, she danced with her hands, thinking that the coat was heavy and obstructive, and she had already gotten rid of it. It's okay like this, at least it makes Hong Jian's embarrassing feeling rush to the lightest, and ...... When Hong Jian looked at Qi Yun not shrinking at all, but his cheeks were red, and most of his body was covered with a military coat, but he still felt cold, Hong Jian couldn't help but be a little suspicious: Is he really that old?

"Brother Aji, I remember the news of 'from the cave house to the tomb' that you chased last time, has there been any progress since then?"

Qi Yun said casually, but Hong Jian's chest was like a bell that had been struck, shocking and buzzing. Of course, he remembered the news he had been chasing for years, but he remembered even more that it was the night he proposed to Qi Yun, the night before their relationship suddenly changed, that she saw him sorting through the photos.

He sighed, "Xiaoyun, do you know what I'm thinking? ”

"Huh?" Qi Yun looked up at him.

"I was thinking, maybe you decided not to marry me wisely. In our line of work, we don't have to eat and sleep in the open, and we don't have much personal time to take care of our families. Let's just say me, it may take a few years to take a set of photos, or even a lifetime of uninterrupted attention. The process of filming was painful: I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep at night, I saw all kinds of human purgatory, and I had to experience all kinds of unimaginable dangers...... And the result, whether in terms of time cost or economic cost, is almost impossible to be proportional to the harvest. ”

Qi Yun didn't refute, but continued slowly.

"That's not all. And misunderstandings," she laughed self-deprecatingly, "like me." Just a few days ago, I believed like others that you came to L County to lurk for months and check the matter of the 'White House', not to get promoted and make a fortune, but to promote your father and make a fortune. ”

Hong Jian was stunned for a moment, and a stream of heat slowly surged in his heart, and this heat even soaked his stiff body in the cold, making his eyes glow with some kind of brilliance.

"You say...... ...... a few days ago? ”

He suddenly felt a stutter. In the past, on the podium where he won many awards, the audience naturally applauded him solemnly, and he himself would express some long or short "testimonials". Just like a singer who wins awards always thanks to various TVs, as a young and promising journalist from a national organization, he has repeatedly mentioned "conscience", some people think he is contrived, but only he knows that he really has a conscience, hidden in his hard chest, and does not expect anyone to see it.

She didn't expect it, but if she could see it, it must have been the gods who heard her heartfelt prayers. He suddenly became a little nervous, and his heart was pounding.

Qi Yun lowered his head, and his long eyelashes fluttered a few times:

"In the eyes of others, you seem to be a hero who has been 'molded' by the media, perfect, standing up to the sky, but it has nothing to do with real life. But only for me is different, when I calm down and think about it, and take away all the selfishness and distractions that blind me, I find that I know clearly in my heart: that Brother Ah Jian, who grew up with me since childhood, is almost like this, he has always been like this, and he will always be like this. ”

Hong Jian was stunned, and a burst of sadness was turned out from the depths of his heart very slowly, little by little, and slowly spread to the surface of the heart lake, there were no waves to be seen, only a little ripple, but it represented the throbbing in the deepest part of the lake.

"At the beginning, the headquarters received a report from the masses that a super luxurious nightclub had been built in L County, a poor county in the country, and out of professional sensitivity, we initially judged that there might be a large amount of corruption hidden in it, so my boss sent me back to G Province to work, and the most important thing is to pay close attention to the news clues of Shengjing Emperor Entertainment City in L County."

"I see." Qi Yun was stunned.

"Well, next, it just so happens that you are also going to the mountainous area under L to teach. I have visited you several times, learned about the poverty in the local countryside, especially the lack of investment in education, and then saw the grandeur of Emperor Shengjing's gold cave in the county town, and I felt even more indignant. ”

Qi Yun remembered the simple teacher's dormitory where he had lived, the classroom with a dusty ceiling, and the Chase dormitory where the students were anxious at night and would rather hold back just because they were afraid that they would have no place to sleep when they came back at night, and his little face was also gloomy.

"I went to see you once, and I happened to have an accident with Uncle Sanlai's Fengqin, and you were so angry that I had to make a military order and not be allowed to ignore this matter - in fact, even if you don't say it, how can I sit idly by? It was also taking this incident as an opportunity that I asked someone to do a multi-faceted investigation of Emperor Shengjing, and I was surprised to find that this place is not only a gold cave, but also a place where men and women rob and prostitute and hide dirt! ”

"Yes, just because there are scum like the criminal director! Scum......"

Qi Yun hadn't scolded yet, but was interrupted by Hong Jian:

"It's certainly not easy to deal with a scum like the criminal director, but he is just a shrimp soldier and crab general sent by the Black Dragon King to resist in front of the battle!"

Qi Yun stopped suddenly, her face turned pale, and she was rarely silent.

"Later...... I further learned that the filth and dirt were just a part of the iceberg, and that it could be more complicated...... I'm not afraid of complicated things, but I immediately faced a very, very tricky thing in my opinion: this Shengjing Emperor Entertainment City has something to do with Uncle Qi, whom I have respected since I was a child! ”

Hong Jian's voice changed tone, and it sounded particularly frightening in the cold wind. Qi Yun's voice was hoarse, and he asked softly:

"When was that?"

"Probably, it was before and after we went to Sanya...... At the same time, my father's commission was also investigating the matter, but at the time, I didn't know about it. It's just that from the clues I have, I have a hunch that something big will happen around you...... I want to protect you, I want to protect you, but I don't know what to do. ”
