Volume 5 The Land of Gold Chapter 18 Old People
In the night mist-shrouded forest, although the moonlight was still bright, it was a pity that few could penetrate the dense canopy and fall to the ground. From my point of view, the lights of the other teams, which had been quite close, were now completely suspended points of light, flickering like ghostly fires, and it seemed that for some reason I did not feel scared, but rather felt relieved to know that this forest was not only for us, but also for other companions.
Humans are social animals after all, and even though those strangers may belong to the enemy category to us, it's nice to see them in the middle of a vast forest, and to feel that they are just ahead.
Liu Jing patted me on the shoulder and motioned to help her set up the tent together. I felt the touch, and immediately came back to my senses, and joined her in quickly setting up all five tents. At this time, the fat man had already built a fire and was adding food to it, only to hear him sigh with emotion, "Mosquito, I still remember when I was young, for more than a year, we almost ate this kind of food in all kinds of inaccessible places, and we haven't been able to eat normal meals in the outside world a few times." At that time, I felt how unpalatable these things were, but I never thought that now that I am used to eating good things, I will miss it when I see compressed biscuits, bacon, and bread again. ”
The big head and the sunspot looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no unknown creatures were approaching, they temporarily relaxed their nerves and sat down, and the big head teased, "I will miss it, which means that you are indeed old." ”
The fat man sighed, "Who says it's not?" We're all getting a lot older, but it's okay, let's get a feel for a few of us tonight to get a feel for what it's like to be in your twenties. Come on, it's all cooked, let's eat. The fat man said and looked at me and Liu Jing, "If the two young people are not used to eating, I still have instant noodles in my bag." ”
Without waiting for me to speak, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, don't underestimate us too much, young people nowadays are not so incapable of hardship." As she spoke, Liu Jing took the lead in eating, and when I saw this, I couldn't show weakness, so I immediately followed. However, as soon as I took those things into my mouth, I immediately felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax, not that the taste was bad, but compared with the food I ate last night, it was really too different.
The fat man smiled and said, "It's good to be able to eat, young people in this era, pampered since childhood, eat and drink well, and when they encounter a little setback, they make it look like the end of the world, my company doesn't know how many people come and go all year round, and later, I was forced to exercise a pair of sharp eyes, young people come to interviews, just need to look at it, you know if he can eat that kind of suffering." ”
The smoker answered, "Don't complain, like your company's day-long sports car job, how many young people can persevere, nowadays, they are eager to enter the society to have good food, drink and fun, think about life too well, and daydream unrealistically." But this can't be entirely blamed for their thoughts, this era is inherently deformed. And then again, who knows what will become of it? ”
I listened to the conversation between the two of them, my face was blue and red for a while, and I always felt like I was talking about myself, Liu Jing turned her head and stuck out her tongue at me, and whispered, "Don't care about them, people from my grandfather's generation always like to recall the past." ”
I listened to the words, smiled and laughed, and did not know what to answer. (To be continued......)
