"No, didn't you say you could go out by boat......?" Tong Bi'an leaned on a low tree, wiping the sweat on his face while panting and asking questions.

"You're naïve." Tong Siyuan supported his knees with his hands, and his state seemed to be slightly better than his younger brother, "There is only one river that can be navigated normally, and the place we are going to this time happens to be perpendicular to it." Most of the time, at least this section of the mountain road, you can only walk on two legs. ”

"Doesn't it make sense that you should constantly go back and forth between the mountains and the outside? Why is it still half-dead now. Tong Bi'an will not let go of any opportunity to squeeze his brother, "Look at Miss Yuan, a girl, now she looks the most relaxed. ”

"Miss Yuan is from the army, and she is still young, and a person like me, who is in her thirties and spends most of her time squatting in a constant temperature room and talking on paper, is naturally incomparable." Tong Siyuan squinted his little eyes and smiled, as if he had a good temper.

"You know, our leaders have to think about big and small things for dozens of people every day, and it's natural that we are not as physically energetic as before." Lan Zhi is Tong Siyuan's number one supporter in the team, and she never deals with any provocations from outsiders in a big way, "It's you, I heard that you have been occupying the mountain outside for the past few years?" Why are you getting more and more squeamish? Oh, no wonder, with a boss like you, those people ......"

"What did you say?" Tong Siyuan instantly knocked into Yuan Sui, who was standing in the middle of the road drinking water, and rushed to Lan Zhi with red eyes.

"Ahem, ahem, it's so hot, and everyone has big bags and small bags, so they all save effort, okay?" Yuan Sui covered his mouth and choked twice, he was simply annoyed by these stunned people who had to quarrel every ten minutes, "If you all have to waste your precious rest time on quarrels, let's just stop halfway through, and go directly to the destination in one go!" ”

Before coming here, she thought she was already the least disciplined person. As a result, this group of guys who are still related to each other, except for Tong Siyuan, who always deliberately connived at his subordinates to scare his younger brother but basically did not make a move, and Gu Lan, who often wandered into the world so he basically did not participate in the discussion, almost all the rest of the people were artillery battles that could be ignited and exploded at any time with a few words, and they often affected innocent people like her who did not stand in line.

"Miss Yuan is right." Tong Siyuan took the initiative to mediate in a timely manner to show "control the scale of conflict": "If we really encounter any trouble on the road, we can only rely on each other's comrades-in-arms." If you consume too much affection early, how can you maintain trust in the future? ”

Lan Zhi, as a loyal fan of Datong, lowered her head and listened to the lecture, and immediately sat back on the stone meekly, returning to a noble and cold state. But Xiao Tong didn't buy it very much, and blushed several times and wanted to exchange glances with Gu Lan, but the latter ignored him.

“…… Can you have a little bit of discipline and team spirit? Yuan Sui once again felt the unprecedented burden on his shoulders, and couldn't help but deeply miss every teammate in the past, "This time you went all the way out, aren't you planning to do something big?" If you want to practice your eloquence in arguing, you might as well stay in town and watch the house with the children! ”

"Let Miss Yuan smile again." Although he always taught his younger brother repeatedly, Tong Siyuan's tone in the face of her was always as polite as ever, "Do you have any advice about this operation?" ”

"Don't, I used to be just a small soldier who followed the powerful boss, and I was relatively good at obeying orders." Yuan Sui raised twelve points of vigilance in his heart, "How you arrange, I will cooperate." Glancing at the little boy who was still full of gloom, she thought for a while, and asked with a smile, "However, in fact, I was also thinking about it before, the location of that person's confession is not close to here, if we walk all the way like this, it is estimated that when we arrive, we can directly celebrate the New Year in the field." ”

"Not really." Tong Siyuan looks a little older than his peers, and there is always a sense of self-evident vicissitudes when he occasionally laughs, "If we don't delay today, we will probably be able to rush to a small town tomorrow afternoon, where we can rent some antique vehicles." ”

"Antique vehicles?" The surprise on Yuan Sui's face was just right, "That's really exciting." ”

"I've walked about 500 meters forward, so there shouldn't be any problems." Qi Jing, who was exploring the path alone, returned to the team, still reporting the results only to Tong Siyuan.

Counting Yuan Sui himself, the three men and three women who went their own way temporarily formed a cohesive team of six, braving the harsh sun and swarms of mosquitoes, and marched towards the cultivation site of the new generation of experimental samples identified by several "scientists" who were captured last time.

Since Tong Bi'an, who attracted more firepower, came to the village and town, he unexpectedly recognized Yuan Sui, who had a one-sided relationship, and the latter's life has obviously become much better.

As night fell, after debating how to work together in pairs and turn into a half-hour war of words, Tong Bi'an finally admitted that he had become the most excluded member of the group, and was crouching behind a large rock with a dark face, swallowing slices of bread that were too dry, while pretending not to care and eavesdropping on the results of the lottery.

"Is it me?" Yuan Sui spread his hands indifferently, "Okay, it's okay, it is estimated that only by putting me and Tong Bi'an in a group, you will not be awakened by the sound of quarrels in the middle of the night." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Tong Siyuan threw the last piece of jerky tonight to Lan Zhi, who had just recovered from his injury, "Bi An has been a bit of a rough person since he was a child. If it weren't for this result, maybe I wouldn't have dared to sleep peacefully. ”

Clearly hearing a "phew" from behind the stone, Yuan Sui glanced at Tong Siyuan complicatedly, and wanted to directly question what was going on in the head of this brother who often deliberately intensified the conflict.

"Then, Sister Gu......" She turned her head to Gu Lan, the guy who was choked on the compressed biscuits just now and almost couldn't get up in one breath immediately didn't even want water, Chong Yuansui waved his hand sharply, turned around and got into the tent that had been set up temporarily.

"What the hell is going on with the two of them?" Yuan Sui couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to know, Miss Yuan can try to start with another party. Believe me, Bi An must be eager to pour bitter water on you now, a relatively neutral person. Tong Siyuan skillfully snuffed out the cigarette with his fingers, glanced at Qi Jing again, and soon led his two followers to leave.

The orange-red flames jumped in front of Motosui's eyes. In the grass on all sides, all kinds of small bugs are holding an ensemble assembly.

After sitting silently holding his knees for a while, Yuan Sui suddenly let out a long sigh, and couldn't bear to hold his forehead and asked, "How long do you have to squat alone in the back?" It's time for the two of us to watch the night together. If I find you falling asleep on the ground for a while, then don't blame me for never talking to you again. ”

Soon, she heard Tong Bi'an behind her snort vigorously without manliness, and went around in a half circle before sitting down opposite her.

"What do you think of now?" It turned out to be Tong Bi'an who questioned her first.

Yuan Sui was still curled up, didn't look at him at all, and asked weakly: "What do you mean?" ”

"I remember you got off the boat, right?" Tong Bi'an seems to know how to talk to death in two sentences, "But now you shouldn't be able to go back." ”

"Do you know what it means to 'which pot is not opened'?" Yuan Sui didn't bother to stare at him.

"Because I look at you...... I've been working this side lately. What, you're really going to follow my brother all the time? Tong Bi'an looked around weakly, and carefully lowered his voice, "For the sake of you and I are in a similar situation, I am here to tell you the truth, he is actually very unreliable. ”

"I know." Yuan Sui's voice was calm.

"You know?" As soon as he became excited, Tong Bi'an instantly forgot to control the volume.

"Tell me what's going on between you and Gu Lan," Yuan Sui raised his head slowly, "I can kindly tell you something useful." ”

"How do I know if what you're saying is useful to me?" Tong Bi'an habitually retorted, and soon asked hesitantly, "She...... Didn't tell you? ”

After spending a little bit of energy to observe the upright young man in front of him, Yuan Sui buried his face back in his knees and said sullenly: "Okay, now I can probably guess the reason." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

"It was Gu Lan who let go of that 'six-fingered' professor, which indirectly led to the exposure of the retention methods of the 'talented' in the maritime city later, right?" Yuan Sui brushed his hair scattered in the evening breeze with his fingers, and his tone did not fluctuate, "That's why you two have such a strange attitude towards me this time." She's too enthusiastic, and you seem to be a little afraid of me. ”

"You...... So ...... you now? Tong Bi'an swallowed.

"Are you trying to ask me if I hate you? Am I full? Understanding that the other party is indeed not very flexible, and does not deliberately want to be annoying, Yuan Sui continued calmly, "According to the situation in the boat, exposure is only a matter of time. You didn't cooperate with the 'Six Fingers' to frame you, and I have no reason to blame you. ”

"Actually, because of her unauthorized action, I really couldn't hold back later, and scolded her a few words with the strength of the wine." Tong Bi'an held his head in distress, "Although I may not have lost my temper with her before, that time it was a little too much...... But since then, she has been reluctant to talk to me. But am I really wrong? She herself listened to a few kind words from that little white face, and she ruined my big thing in a daze, can't I be angry? ”

"I'm not interested in hearing about the emotional entanglement between you and her."

"Okay, okay, you're smart, you're powerful......" Tong Bi'an's voice trembled a little, "It's okay now, except for those brothers who are still in the town to recuperate, I have worked hard for so many years, and I have nothing left!" Do you see my brother's swagger in front of me? I'm telling you, they've been waiting to see my jokes for a long time! Now that I'm in this situation, I just happened to follow their wishes......"

"It's the same end of the world, don't cry in front of me." Yuan Sui sighed again, "Things in the world are so annoying. What you have finally gained after many years of struggle, God said to take it away, and I will not greet you at all beforehand. If you call for this, you will only attract people who will come to see the jokes, so it is better to hold back and quietly scold yourself in private. ”

"You can think about it."

"I can't think about it."

"That'...... You really want to go back to the people you used to know, right? Tong Bi'an was a little hindsight, "Seeing that you are so positive in front of my brother, I thought you really planned to change places to realize the value of life." ”

The firelight swayed irregularly in the wind. Yuan Sui's voice suddenly became very tired: "I want to go back to my old person...... This kind of thing is not something that can be achieved by just talking. ”

"Then you-"

"I've thought about it." Yuan Sui raised his head suddenly, and looked straight at Tong Bi'an with an undisguised sharp gaze, "If I just eat and wait for death so honestly, I'm afraid that I will never think of going out again for the rest of my life." Even if the people in the town believe me, if I want to reach out to the people I used to be, it is not enough to have the support of a group of children. I'll have to work hard, at least get your brother's support first, and then step by step to the top and climb the distance. Only when I mix up a little bit on my own can I get in touch with more powerful people, and I can use more contacts to find people all over the world......"

"What's more, a little more specific?" Tong Bi'an seemed to be a little stopped by her.

"Set a small goal first, at least become your brother's trusted deputy." The aura exuded when Yuan Sui raised his eyebrows was completely inconsistent with her young face, "I have observed, although your brother's character is not necessarily good, he is still a little level at work." That's good, follow a smart person to do things, and you're always slightly more likely to achieve your goals. ”

"Why do you think he's ......?"

"Bad character?" Yuan Sui interrupted him and was already very skillful, "Do you need to remind me in particular?" Look at his attitude towards this group of silly kids......"

"Uh, I think he's okay with the people from town, at least better than me, right?"

"I don't know if he's good to you." Yuan Sui's eyes were unusually bright, "But I've seen good old people with great love in the true sense of the word." I don't think it's possible for him to do such a bad thing as making the children who had managed to get out of the misery become his tools again. ”
