Chapter Ninety-Three: The Mountain Rain is Coming
At noon, the early winter sun warms up the camp.
It had just rained yesterday, and the gravel roads in the camp were a little muddy. Rod walked along the road to the health center of the camp, and on the way he was met by several drivers who had left work, and most of them had a teasing expression on their faces, and one of them asked loudly: "Rode, why don't you stop and get the woman back?"
Rod glanced at him coldly and continued to walk on his own.
"Hey, I'll just say that men and horses are the same, who can be strong in front of the whip. When it's time to be soft, you have to be soft. ”
"It was a terrible day, and it had been two weeks, and Rhodes had not recovered and went to the health center every day to get medicine. ”
"Who called him so flustered? ”
"I wish he had gone again, there had been nothing new in the camp for days. ”
The men talked behind him.
Rod turned sharply and raised his fist, making a gesture to rush up and hit someone.
The men were not afraid, and walked away laughing and hurrying away.
"Don't worry about this waste. A voice rang out behind him, "Let these idiots be proud for two more days." When the time comes, you'll have a chance to give them some color. ”
Rod turned his head to see that Hawke was behind him, followed by two men.
"Good new friend. The taller one is Thorin, who is a lumberjack, and the stout one is Hill, who is the boatman of the ore carrier. Hawke patted Rod on the shoulder, "Look back and find a chance, you can get close." ”
Rod nodded to them, and the other two looked a little nervous, their eyes looking left and right, far less calm than Rode.
"You're almost healed from your wounds, aren't you?" asked Hawke.
"Two more visits should be nice. "Lorenzo said," said Rode......
Hawke waved his hand at the name and said, "I was about to take Thorin and Ciel to meet him." What he said to you is his and your secret. ”
After several people broke up, Rhodes came to the health center. After pushing the door in, he saw Elf Elaine healing a man's wounds, so he sat down in the seat at the door and waited.
The man sat on a stool, and two co-workers-like men stood on the side and supported him. The man may have been cut on his arm by some sharp object, and there was a slap-long wound on it. At this time, the wound had been stitched up with needles and threads, and the bleeding had almost stopped. However, the man's appearance was still embarrassed, with a towel in his mouth, panting, and his face was very pale. He didn't dare to look at Elaine, and counted his toes with his head down.
Elaine applied some herbs to the wound, then tied the herbs to her arms with a bandage, and finally hung her hands on the outside of the bandage and chanted softly. A light green glow glowed between her hands.
After about a quarter of an hour, she finished her spell and said to the wounded and the two co-workers, "Take him back to rest, and come here by this time tomorrow." ”
Several people thanked Elaine respectfully, and then helped the injured out of the clinic.
Elaine nodded to Rhodes and gestured to a door at the back of the room. Rod got up and walked inside.
"Your wounds are almost healed, do you need me to treat you and remove the last scars?" Elaina asked suddenly.
"Hey, I'm not a woman. Rod shook his head and pushed the door to the back.
Elaine waited for him to close the door, unleashed a mute spell on the door, and began to clean up the mess left over from the previous healing.
The room behind the door was supposed to be Elaina's bedroom, but the curtains were drawn, and only a glowing hedron was placed on the table, illuminating the two people at the table.
"It's ......"
"This is Katarina. "One of them is Luo Ling. The other is naturally a mercenary girl.
"I've seen her, she's wearing makeup?" Rhodes glanced at Katarina, her green hair had been cut short and dyed dark brown, and she was wearing the usual overalls of the camp, which hid the girl's curves well, and now she looked like a teenage boy, and there were many of these half-grown children in the camp, most of whom were apprentices in various positions.
"She's the helper you want, and she'll pick you up on the day of the incident. Luo Ling said.
Rod frowned and asked, "Have you aroused your fighting spirit now?"
"Nope. "But I'm clever enough not to hold you back." I still have this. Out of nowhere, she pulled out a dagger, pulled a few flowers on her fingertips, a few cold lights flashed, and then magically disappeared.
"Maybe it's going to be dangerous. ”
"I'm a mercenary, all the time. The girl replied.
The corners of Rod's mouth curled, and he didn't argue anything more on this topic, turned to Luo Ling and said, "The trick you played in the pit seems to be quite successful. Lorenzo seemed to have believed it. ”
"Although Carla is a silly woman. But if you lie for yourself, you can change to an easy working situation. She knew what to say. Luo Ling said.
"Yesterday I met Lorenzo for the third time, and he invited us core personnel to drink, and told us to prepare and give the camp men a long memory. But he never said when it would be launched. ”
"He's careful. ”
"However, I followed them later, and I still found a little bit of information, and as far as I can judge, three days later, Thursday, will be the day they launched, but the exact time is unknown. Where and how is also unclear. Rod said.
"Is there a big time to grasp?"
Rod pondered for a moment and gestured. "Eighty percent. ”
"It's finally getting started. Did they mention Crete?" asked Luo Ling.
"No, I think such a killer feature, they won't show it easily. After all, we're just minions. Or ......" the middle-aged man showed a rare hesitation on his face, "they have another plan?"
————————————————————
After dinner, Ji Yijun came to the roof as usual, and in recent days, unconsciously, this has become his habit.
Although the night in early winter was already cold, for Ji Yijun, who cultivated his fighting spirit, such weather gave him a feeling of coolness.
The campus under the stars is peaceful, allowing him time to reflect on what happens every day.
Ji Yijun has never been a person who is willing to think too much, he would rather do it and find problems in the middle of doing it, rather than thinking too much in advance. However, this covert investigation of the undercurrent in the camp forced him to restrain his temperament. Be cautious to find the slightest clue.
Aggrieved!
Countless times, he wanted to rush forward and kill the bedbugs jumping up and down with a knife, but Luo Ling was beside him, so he had to endure playing hide and seek with these guys.
It's too soon, for the upcoming turmoil, Ji Yijun is not so much worried as he is looking forward to it. He gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the blade and scabbard touched slightly, making a clear sound.
There was a sneeze on the rooftop, and Ji Yijun looked at it, but it was Wu Qi who was early.
"Why don't you wait inside?" Ji Yijun said with a bit of blame.
"Who said I was waiting for you? we just happen to love the stars. Wu Qi rubbed his hands and said.
Ji Yijun sneered, took off the thick shirt on his body, and threw it to Wu Qidao, "Put it on." ”
Wu Qi saw that he only had an undershirt inside, and said, "I'm not cold, you should be careful yourself." ”
Ji Yijun smiled, stretched out a fist, and with a soft snort, a faint light appeared on the fist. He raised his chin at Wu Qi and said, "You touch." ”
Wu Qi had never seen Ji Yijun's fighting spirit with his own eyes, so he curiously stretched out his hand and pressed it on his fist. Suddenly, a warmth penetrated through her skin into her flesh and bones. That feels...... Just like when he jumped downstairs with her in his arms.
"See, this is strength, why do I need to wear that dress, I wear it on weekdays, but I don't want to be too different. Ji Yijun retracted his fighting spirit, but his fists were still hot.
"Okay. Wu Qi put on the thick shirt, tightened the neckline with her hand, and looked at Ji Yijun quietly.
"What's that......" Ji Yijun scratched his head, "Why didn't you bring a sword today, and we still continue to teach swordsmanship?"
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Starting tomorrow, I can't come for the time being, Camp Commander Wang has received an order to raise the security level." The boys of the escort battalion are all engaged in night patrols. A few of us girls also have to help with the logistics work. Today I want to take a break and look at the stars. ”
"Wang Jiyuan is quite fast. Luo Ling's words worked quite well. Ji Yijun said.
"Luo Ling, I saw that in the afternoon, Team Leader Zhou went to talk to Camp Chief Wang, and Camp Chief Wang quickly announced the news of strengthening guards. Luo Ling has never been to us. ”
"Zhou Xiaoren?" Ji Yijun wondered.
"Yes, he also said a few words to us, saying that there may be unrest in the near future, and we should be vigilant and not let go of anything suspicious. ”
"What the hell is this old boy doing? Ji Yijun touched his chin and pondered for a while, but didn't understand, "If only Huang Zheng's dog-headed military advisor was on the side." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. You have to be careful lately, and if you encounter any situation, don't be reckless. Ji Yijun looked at Wu Qi very solemnly and said.
"Am I strong?"
"I don't know you yet? Don't always try to prove something to others. ”
"I don't have any. Now that there is a shortage of manpower, it is natural for female soldiers to be used as male soldiers. Wu Qi whispered.
Ji Yijun shook his head and said, "Don't look at my thick branches, I can feel that you have a knot here." He nodded at Wu Qi's heart, "Whether you are brave in battle, or come to me to learn swordsmanship, in the final analysis, it is your heart that is at fault." I don't want you to bury yourself because of this. ”
"If you're dead, you're dead. Wu Qi said softly.
"What are you talking about?" Ji Yijun couldn't hear this, and immediately glared.
"It's not a bad thing to leave this world early. ”
"What nonsense!" Ji Yijun's voice rose.
"It's not the earth, and there's always something to worry about. Can it be ...... here , even if I die, they just say, oh, that coward, runaway, that traitor is finally dead. She sighed softly.
Ji Yijun held his breath and listened to her words, and yelled: "Fart! I'll say it again, my life was picked up by me." I don't allow you to say such things. I thought you had grown up these days, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...... I'll tell you, if anyone chews the root of his tongue, I'll hit him until he shuts up, do you hear it?
While speaking, Ji Yijun found that he had forced Wu Qi to him, and the distance between his nose and his nose was only ten centimeters.
At this time, Wu Qi's expression was a little strange, and the complaining look in front of him disappeared without knowing when. Her eyebrows drooped, her lips trembled a little, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh, but at the end of the sentence, she just said softly: "Hmm." ”
