Chapter 23: Rest
By the campfire, I was sorting out the rest of my backpack, and the smell of canned pork liver and noodles from the pot was constantly wafting out.
Zhang Yang fell asleep groggily after taking the medicine, and we gave him the only sleeping bag, while the grasshopper sat next to Zhang Yang, as if thinking about something, and fell asleep on the side after thinking about it.
The eagle had been sitting far away from the campfire, and because of the dim light, I could only see his bleak back.
Mu Zhuo stirred the food in the pot with a spoon, and as soon as she moved, the fragrance wafted out even stronger, "What are you thinking?" ”
I looked at the fire and was stunned, and when I heard her speak, I immediately looked up, "It's nothing, can I eat this?" ”
Mu Zhuo smiled, "Your biggest advantage is that you have a good mentality, and you can adjust your emotions in the shortest possible time, unlike them." ”
I looked sideways at Zhang Yang and Gnats, who were sleeping side by side, and sighed deeply, "Have they always been like this?" ”
Mu Zhuo didn't seem to understand what I meant, and asked me while stirring the food in the pot, "What is it?" ”
I said, "Everyone lives under the mask of their own disguise, giving their time every day to the organization, and they can do whatever it takes to get the task that the organization gives them, and there is no ego in their lives." ”
Mu Zhuo sighed lightly, took out a few disposable bowls from his backpack, filled a bowl of hot pork liver noodle soup and handed it to me, and said, "You are talking about their previous lives, their previous lives, and now, everything has changed, in fact, you should understand them, aren't you the same yourself?" ”
The temperature in the desert night plummeted, I held the bowl in both hands, the temperature instantly spread from the palm of my hand to the whole body, and I drank a sip of hot soup and went down to my stomach, and instantly felt that the cold accumulated in my body was forced out.
Mu Zhuo took another bowl and handed it to me, "Go and send it to that little brother, he should be the heaviest of all of you." ”
I nodded, put down my bowl, and walked over to the eagle with the bowl Mu Zhuo had given me, "Let's have something to eat." ”
Eagle took the bowl with both hands, said thank you, and then put the bowl on the sand in front of him, I saw that his mood was not ordinary heavy, so I also sat down, and accompanied him for nearly three or four minutes, and suddenly I saw some starlight in the distance.
In the dark of night, the stars are dotted and flowing, a bit like a meteor shower.
Eagle and I stood up almost at the same time, and we both looked at each other, neither of us knowing what was going on.
After looking at it for a while and finding nothing unusual, I pulled him to sit down again, "It's okay, there are often some visions in the desert, no fuss, drink the soup quickly, the soup is cold." ”
Eagle silently picked up the soup bowl and just brought it to his mouth before he drank it when he heard Mu Zhuo shouting behind him, and Ying and I immediately turned around, but saw Mu Zhuo standing straight by the bonfire with a soup spoon, and Zhang Yang and Gnats were standing with her, and the three of them were motionless like sculptures.
The eagle and I rushed back at once, and when we arrived, the grasshopper pointed to the darkness ahead and said, "Tomb of the King of the Western Night." ”
"Huh?" I rubbed my eyes in shock, looked at it and looked, "Nothing." ”
"Of course it's out of sight now, it's only a second," said the grasshopper. ”
I asked, "So what?" ”
The gnats motioned for us to sit down, and then said to me, "That is, we are going in the right direction." ”
Zhang Yang lazily leaned on the big stone, his spirit recovered a little, and he was eating silently at the moment, Mu Zhuo looked at us, and then focused his eyes on Zhang Yang, "Qiao, let's go." ”
Zhang Yang's quiet face immediately changed, "Why?" ”
Mu Zhuo said: "He said that your plan was perfect, and he admired your courage, but he didn't want to ruin his future because of you, so he left." ”
"However, he"
A smile curled up at the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, interrupting Mu Zhuo's words, "It's okay to go, it's so dangerous here, he really doesn't need to take this risk." ”
After hearing this, I suddenly remembered the scene of their quarrel when I first went down the tunnel, and asked, "That foreigner and you, are you pretending to quarrel?" ”
Zhang Yang didn't speak, and continued to drink the soup, while the gnats said: "Our plan is to let Qiao lead people to act separately from us for this reason, and the people in the organization must not have thought that we are using bitter meat tricks, but"
I suddenly realized, "That is to say, in your plan, Joe is another team to go to the Gulan Station, and his task is to support us on the ground and monitor everything above, but because he escaped from the battle, we lost the information on the ground, and we will encounter repeated accidents in the underground passage." ”
The grasshopper just watched the campfire in silence and didn't say a word.
On this night, everyone took turns to keep vigil, Mu Zhuo is a woman, and we can't let her keep vigil alone, so I will accompany her.
Everyone was asleep, I looked at my watch, it was twelve o'clock, it was quiet all around, all I could hear was the sound of the wind.
After midnight, the temperature was approaching freezing, and I tightened my clothes and leaned against the fire.
"Why don't you ask me why I'm here all of a sudden?" Mu Zhuo asked me suddenly.
I was stunned and said, "It must have been the Black Eagle who informed you." ”
Mu Zhuo stroked his long wind-blown hair and said, "Of course not, I saw it halfway, and then followed it all the way to find you." ”
I wondered, "Got it?" Aren't you supposed to be in the camp? Why? ”
Mu Zhuo took out a ring and handed it to me and said, "Do you recognize this thing?"
I took it and put it on the palm of my hand to look at it carefully, and suddenly felt that this thing was very familiar, thought about it, and immediately thought of the necklace I was carrying, and took it out to see, my necklace and this ring, whether it is materials or craftsmanship, are from the hands of one person, because this is something that our Xiao family has passed down from generation to generation.
I am the eldest son in the family and the only male, so this pendant must be here, and as for the ring, it should be my aunt's.
I looked at Mu Zhuo in disbelief and asked her, "Have you seen my aunt?" ”
Mu Zhuo shook his head, nodded again, and said, "I don't know. ”
"How?" I asked.
Mu Zhuo said, "After you went down, that Joe came up very quickly, and when he returned to the camp, he gave me this thing, and then let me go along the southeast, and said that if I saw a black eagle, let me follow it." ”
She took a sip and continued, "I asked him why he did this, and he said that you are likely to be in trouble, and only I can save you, and when he handed it over to me, he deliberately told me that he must hand it over to you personally, and he said that the message in the ring will help you. ”
I pinched the ring and checked it repeatedly, but I didn't find any mechanism like a hidden grid, so I strung the ring and the pendant together and put it on my chest, thinking that I would study it again when it was dawn.
Mu Zhuo looked at his watch and said, "When the time comes, you go to sleep, I'm fine alone." ”
I also knew that the time was up, but I saw that the three of them were sleeping deeply, and I also knew that all three of them had maintained a high level of concentration along the way, and they needed a good night's sleep, both physically and mentally, and I couldn't bear to wake them up.
"It's okay, I'll accompany you, I can't sleep anyway."
Mu Zhuo didn't refuse, she took out two pieces of burning charcoal from her backpack and threw them into the bonfire, "That young man has a special physique, you don't have to worry about him." ”
I looked at her in amazement and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Mu Zhuo smiled mysteriously and said: "When Zhang Yang brought him back to the wooden house, he was already dying, and I saved him, but that place was not safe, and those people seemed to have to kill him before they stopped, so Zhang Yang arranged for Jiang Yuan to go to Beijing, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place." ”
After hearing this, I felt a chill in my back, and said in my heart, Jiang Yuan has Zhang Mosheng's support, is it true that Jiang Baichuan is not taboo at all against the ghost hand Zhang Ye?
Mu Zhuo continued: "In the hospital, I saw that the doctors and nurses around you were all from that organization, and I knew that you were already under their surveillance, so I cooperated with Zhang Yang to clean up those people and led you to Cloud Villa, Boss Wang's power in Beijing should not be underestimated, and he and Zhang Yang seem to have a deep relationship, so Jiang Baichuan did not dare to mess around." ”
As soon as I was about to say something, I felt a shaking, and the three people who were sleeping instantly woke up.
