Chapter 53: The Quarrel
I asked in one breath, Tan Jian's expression remained unchanged, still looking very dignified, and the rest of the people also stopped their movements. At a glance, Han Zitong and Zhou Xuanye were silent, while Han Xu looked at me stupidly. Wang Zehai was a flexible mind, he probably thought of something, so he didn't mention Qiu Huangxi, but said to me in a circle: "This...... Boss Tan and Boss Zhou both said to leave, there must be a reason, let's leave first. ”
I said, "What about after leaving?" "Qiu Huangxi and I have only known each other for a day, and it would be nonsense to say that there is any love between men and women, but I always remember that she was planning to sacrifice herself to cover my escape. At least for the moment, in my heart, she is no longer a stranger, but my friend.
A friend who lives and dies.
If I abandon her without knowing anything, am I still human? Although I, Su Tiangu, have no culture, I still understand the truth of knowing the grace of the map, Qiu Huangxi didn't feel sorry for me, and even took the risk to save my life when I fell into a coma.
How can you forget the grace of saving your life?
I have always been a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and I also know my identity, if it is not necessary, I will not raise the bar with the boss, but this time, I did not care about Wang Zehai's face, and said directly: "Boss Wang, this matter is very important to me, and I can't just be sloppy." "As I said this, I stared at Tan Jian.
Tan Jian clasped his hands around his chest, the solemn color between his eyebrows receded, and only a calm was left in his eyes, staring at me coldly, and said in a relatively slow voice: "Su Tiangu, am I too good to you, so you don't remember what your identity is?" ”
I choked for a moment, half angry, half like a lump of lead.
That's right, aside from Huang Yaozu's, the life of the firm is indeed too leisurely, and after a long time, I have forgotten that Tan Jian is my boss. His words brought me back to reality, and I took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I've remembered." I resign! ”
Tan Jian frowned, a flash of anger flashed on his face, Wang Zehai saw it, and hurriedly played a round, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su, don't talk angry." When you disappeared, Boss Tan and the two of them were very anxious, don't hurt the peace for an outsider. ”
Wang Zehai was kind, and I couldn't help but say: "Boss Wang, I know that for you, Miss Qiu is just an outsider, but she is my savior, and I can't ignore her." After speaking, I said to Tan Jian: "Tell me where she is, I'll go find someone myself, don't delay you, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death." ”
Tan Jian sneered when he heard this, and said, "Don't delay me?" If you're disabled, I'll have to count as a work-related injury! What do you think you are, you have no skills at all, and you want to save people? I see you ......"
"Enough!" Zhou Xuanye interrupted Tan Jian's words abruptly, and glared at Tan Jian. Tan Jian then stopped his mouth and just snorted.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, although Tan Jian was telling the truth, but in front of so many people, I really couldn't save face.
Zhou Xuanye put the bag on the ground, walked next to me and said: "He is a person, he has always been very poisonous when he gets angry all his life, you know this, don't take it to heart." I nodded. Zhou Xuanye said again: "Since she has a life-saving grace for you, then we can't leave her alone." When they enter our office, they are our people, who have both grace and debt, and bear them together, and they will see people in life and corpses in death. ”
At this time, Han Zitong also put down the things in his hand and said, "No, I can't help it, if I really don't care about her, I will have a restless conscience for the rest of my life." ”
When Wang Zehai saw this situation, he lowered his hand and said, "It seems that you are planning to change the hexagram, since this is the case, let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "Since you want to save people, then without further ado, let's talk while walking." The whole situation changed in an instant, and everyone began to pack up their equipment and turn around. I couldn't relax for a while, Han Zitong came to my side and whispered: "You wronged Boss Tan, this time the matter is really tricky, he is thinking about your safety." ”
I felt a little weak in my heart and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
As he spoke, everything that should be packed was almost packed, Zhou Xuanye turned on the powerful searchlight, walked in the forefront, and everyone began to go in the direction they chased out before.
Han Zitong was right next to me and began to talk about the situation at that time.
She and Qiu Huangxi were in a tent, but she was keeping vigil at that time, so there was only Qiu Huangxi in the tent, and Wang Zehai also gave Zhou Xuanye a tent. Tan Jian has a human contact cleanliness fetish, and instead of sleeping in a tent, he sleeps alone under the nearest banana tree.
Han Zitong was keeping vigil, and she took out a book reader to read the information. This kind of reader has a long standby time, does not consume electricity to use, and can store library materials, so it is the most suitable to take it out and use it at this time.
She was fascinated for a moment, failing to pay attention to her surroundings. In fact, our camp hung a high-power camp lamp, and the position within a radius of about ten meters was illuminated, and any danger could be seen at a glance, so it gave people a strong sense of security.
Perhaps it was because of negligence, so by the time she heard a strange rustling sound behind her, it was too late, and she turned around to see a black behemoth curled up in front of her tent, the fine scales that emitted this ghostly light, the writhing body, all showing that it was a python!
A black python!
And at this moment, the head of the python was sticking into the tent.
"Ahh She screamed, but she didn't know what to do, a woman with bare hands, seeing such a behemoth, it was definitely impossible for her to have the courage to rush up to save people.
How to save?
Punch it with a fist?
At the same time as this shout, Tan Jian woke up suddenly. When he saw the big snake in front of him, he gasped, and without saying a word, he turned over, shouted, picked up a big stone at hand, and threw it at the big snake.
He was diverting the serpent's attention.
The python turned its head, and in its mouth, there was something in its mouth.
It was Qiu Huangxi, her lower body was in the snake's mouth, and her upper body was outside, struggling slightly, looking weak and weak, and she couldn't even make a sound. This movement made Zhou Xuanye immediately rush out of the tent. Zhou Xuanye's vigilance is very high, and he has traveled south and north, and has seen many big battles, and his reaction power is very fast.
When he heard Han Zitong's shouts and Tan Jian's shouts, he knew that something was wrong, so the moment he turned over from the tent, he had already picked up the ancient sword in his hand, and with a bang, the sword was unsheathed and rushed out.
The giant python didn't know how long it had lived, as if it had spirituality, and when it saw the three of them, it was no match, and it rushed towards the darkness when it took the autumn phoenix.
Snakes can swallow animals that are many times larger than their own bodies, but after swallowing, they will cause slow movement, so the giant python is very smart, and in the process of escaping, it does not swallow Qiu Huangxi immediately, but keeps holding it, so it is very fast.
Tan Jian and the three of them didn't bother to inform us at all, so they hurriedly chased out.
They didn't go far, and the serpent ran for a short time before he got into a big hole.
When Zhou Xuanye and the others caught up, they only saw the tail of the giant python flashing at the entrance of the cave. Tan Jian immediately squatted at the entrance of the cave, took the flashlight and looked inside, the hole was very deep, faint, and there was a sound of water flowing under the hole, maybe there was still a water hole below.
"What should I do?" Han Zitong was out of breath and said anxiously.
Tan Jian listened attentively, there was no movement below, and said, "I'll go down and take a look." As he spoke, he drew his dagger.
But just as he was about to go down, the position of his ankle suddenly itched. Tan Jian looked down and found that it was a white root wrapped around his ankle. And at this moment, the surrounding vegetation trembled, and countless roots rushed out from under these plants.
It turned out that these roots had been hidden underneath, and they were only used as a shield from these plants, so the three of them had not found them before. At this moment, all the roots felt the temperature of the human being, and immediately pounced on the three of them.
In these flora, there are still many small black snakes, and snakes are cold-blooded animals, so naturally they can't arouse the predatory appetite of those roots, but they have become the umbrella of these snakes, making the snakes on this oasis more terrifying.
The roots are mixed with black, where can the three of them resist. Tan Jian and the three of them are all smart people, and when they saw this situation, they ran away without saying a word. Zhou Xuanye simply held the ancient sword in his hand at that time, and a set of swordsmanship dances did not leak, and the three of them escaped.
ran back all the way, Qiu Huangxi estimated that he was already in the belly of the giant python.
The three of them were very guilty, so on the way back, they all had gloomy faces, and they didn't want to mention it at all, but only told us to leave quickly. And now the reason why I say I want to go back and save people is entirely because of me.
Just like Zhou Xuanye said, since he is a person in the firm, he has both grace and debt. These words are obviously expressing, treating me as their own, probably because they are worried that I will hurt my glass heart because of Tan Jian's words.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but stop and said, "It's been eaten...... Wait a minute. I motioned for everyone to stop, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go back." ”
Tan Jian said coldly: "Don't save people?" ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "In order to save a dead person, let the living go to death?" ”
Tan Jian said: "Didn't you say that you want to see people in life and corpses in death?" "He spoke sharply, but I didn't want to worry about it. Tan Jian has always had a poisonous tongue, but if you think about it, whether I fell into the well at the time, or Qiu Huangxi was dragged into the hole by a giant python, he was the first to find someone to save people, and he did not stand idly by. ”
I'm sorry, I can't bring back your corpse. These are living people in front of me, and I can't afford to let them risk their lives to snatch your body.
Since the person has been swallowed, if you want to get the corpse out, you can only dissect the giant python.
Do we have that ability?
Naturally not.
Therefore, it is clear which is more important than the dead and the living. If they had made it clear to me at the beginning, I would not have asked for 'saving people' at all. And the reason why these people didn't mention it was that eighty percent of them were also uneasy.
To put it bluntly, they are not wicked people who will not be saved when they see death, and their companions have been swallowed by a giant python under their noses, and they are not without blows. I'm afraid that among them, the biggest blow is Han Zitong.
