"Come in". Yan Gu, who was frowning because he didn't know what was going on in his mind, heard a knock on the door.

"Team Leader Yan, according to your instructions, all the information has been deleted, leaving only this last one. Xu Xudong, who was holding the folder, pushed open the door and walked in, and then handed him the document.

Yan Group took the folder and opened it, with more than a dozen pieces of paper inside. He looked at it again, then stood up, walked over to the shredder, took the papers, one by one, and stuffed them into the machine. Seeing that all the paper had become confetti, he returned to the black chair behind his desk, leaned back, and asked, "How many days is left before the Chinese New Year?"

Xu Xudong, who always has a smile on his face, will become serious when he reports the task. He didn't know why he suddenly asked about this at the summit, but he still replied immediately: "There are three days left, and it's the Spring Festival, Team Leader Yan." ”

"Three days, almost forty days have passed so quickly, three days...... , it's time to take him back for the New Year. Yan Group was counting the days, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Xu Xudong.

"Team Leader Yan, I'm afraid that the provincial dragon soul may not be willing to let go. Xu Xudong knew what he was thinking, and reminded this shrewd and resolute man in the past. If the dragon soul was willing to let go, Ling Lang should have returned to his hometown a long time ago.

"Why? That kid isn't from their dragon soul yet. At this time, Yan Group did not have the calm and calmness of the past, but was like a father who was unwilling to marry his daughter.

Xu Xudong wanted to remind him that Ling Lang was actually not an official member of the Dragon Group, but he didn't say it after all.

"You and Wu Feng, oh, no, I'll go by myself, go, pick up that kid home for the New Year. After Yan Group finished speaking, he stood up again, and then took the lead out of his office, as vigorous as ever.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xudong in the back shook his head, and then a smile hung on his face again.

The relationship between the dragon soul and the dragon group is not too tense, the former is just a little drifting away, and the latter is actually the people at the top of the direct line. But both can be said to serve the Huaxia State.

Some people in the Dragon Soul look down on the Dragon Group a little, but in fact, most of them are young people of these two generations, and they think that the Dragon Group is useless. The dragon group is also faintly repulsed by the high of the dragon soul, and many people are actually holding their breath in their hearts, because the elites cultivated by the dragon group are always hooked up by various recruits of the dragon soul. In fact, if this is the case, it will be forgotten, but until there is one thing, the "contradiction" between the two has begun to escalate a little.

Sixteen years ago, when the head of state was on his southern tour, foreign forces tried in vain to assassinate him. Moreover, when the other party's train on the southern tour arrived at the first station Wucheng, he first launched an operation against the local dragon group, which made a city-level dragon group almost all wiped out. Although the Dragon Soul people appeared later, they also did not let a single offender go, but the blood of the enemy could not make up for the great pain caused by the sacrifice of his comrades. And the trauma of almost being "wiped out" this time was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the generations of dragon group people back then.

Dragon souls are generally regulated at the provincial level, and they are all hidden in the secret realm of the deep mountains, and there are also defensive formations for guarding the mountains, and there are even many spiritual treasures and secret treasures left over from ancient times as tools for the town.

The dragon group is generally regulated at the town level, with the town having guardian envoys, the county sending soul envoys, and the city and above have stationing.

The Dragon Group station is usually located in the deep mountains and old forests, but in areas where conditions do not permit, it can only be selected in some compounds. Aside from the basic protective doors, there are hardly many magic weapons that can be used. Its secrecy and protective strength are incomparable to those of the dragon soul. When the enemy comes to attack, it is usually crushed, and it can only be carried by people and filled with life. But the elites have been taken away by your dragon soul, how can you carry it?

The Yan group and the Wu team had already regarded Ling Lang as a member of the dragon group, and when the dragon soul "recruited" Ling Lang that day, the two of them were very unhappy. But after all, the nominal affiliation, the dragon group had no choice but to "release people". But Team Wu was holding his breath, and after the incident of Qin Ling, he heard many unconvincing voices from the Dragon Soul, and he also expected that someone from the Dragon Soul would come to "get off the horse", so that day, he said to Ling Lang, "If you dare to come, you will do him."

Later, Ling Lang pushed the other party's five "Tianjiao" again, and really slapped the provincial dragon soul in the face. As soon as Team Wu went back to talk about this, Lao Cheng, who was as serious as Yan Group, couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "This is the style of our Dragon Group." ”

In addition to Team Wu's sending uniforms over that time, Xu Xudong also went to learn about Ling Lang's situation, knowing that Ling Lang was not gregarious in the Dragon Soul, and was a little ostracized, Yan Group and Team Wu were silent. After passing through the Seven Star Pile and his party, they knew Ling Lang's potential very well, so even if they were reluctant, they felt that the water in the dragon group was too shallow, and the dragon soul was the place he should go. Now that I have heard that the "girl" who "married" my family in the past is not doing well, as the "parent", I am very happy? Or it may be because of this reason, the New Year is approaching, and the Yan Group decided to go and "rob people" in person.

However, this time, the Yan Group did misunderstand Elder Tian and them a little. In fact, Elder Tian wanted Ling Lang to go home a few days ago, and told him that there was no need to worry so much, no matter what force it was, they basically adhered to the bottom line of "disaster will not affect the family", otherwise there would really be no rules, and pointed to the sky and said, the above would not allow it. But Ling Lang still decided to stay for a while, after reading so many secret history books, he knew that some people usually only let others follow the rules, and he would treat it as garbage under his feet, and he could step on it twice at any time.

When Elder Tian knew the intention of the Yan Group and their intentions, he called Ling Lang with a wry smile, so Ling Lang got into the familiar jeep again and returned home smoothly. Mother, sister, and sister also went home. And this is the happiest time of the year.

Eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, keep vigil, open the door and set off firecrackers at the right time, and then go to visit grandparents the next day, and then go to relatives and visit a few friends. It's probably always been like this, it hasn't changed for a hundred years, and it's changing every year.

On the third day of the first lunar month, it is the "Sending the Poor Day" in the small mountain town, and almost everyone is just cleaning at home, or going to the street, and will not go to other houses. Seeing that he was bored, Ling Lang said to his mother, saying that he wanted to go to the mountains to have a look. His mother told him to be careful, and he casually answered, put on a coat, and went out.

On the way, he met the second aunt who went to the small shop to buy something, Ling Lang said Happy New Year, and the second aunt asked him where he was going. Then the second aunt approached him and said that he should not go, and said mysteriously that the mountain was hanging recently, although there were a lot of wild boars or something, but nothing happened to them, but in the past half a year, many people have been injured one after another, some have fallen off the high ridge, some have been scared stupid, and some have almost broken their legs by their own animal traps.

Ling Lang was familiar with the gossip temperament of the second aunt, so he smiled and said that he would not go, and when she left, he set off for the mountain again.

The mountain is more than 1,600 meters long, and it is named after a huge rock on the top of the mountain that resembles an old woman's hair bun, and you can reach the foot of the mountain after passing through two villages. Ling Lang has climbed this mountain many times since he was a child, some came alone, some came with Ling Sheng, and of course some came with his father.

The mountain is quite large, so it is not steep below the mountainside, and it is not until it is two-thirds of the way up that the mountain suddenly narrows and begins to become steep. But Ling Lang was not in a hurry, as if he was looking for fragments of the past, and along the way, he stopped and stopped.

The morning sun wasn't too strong, and the mountain breeze was just a bit chilly, but overall it was pleasant. Unfortunately, the pine and cedar trees on both sides of the road have been cut down, and the slightly gentle areas have been cleared for plum trees, some of which have white plum blossoms and thin green fruits. And most of them are still small saplings in the loess.

There is a path that crosses the mountainside, and you can see two large rocks in the past. There is a mountain spring in the middle of the two large stones, which oozes out and gathers into a small pool, and the spring water is clear and sweet. In the past, mountain climbers, even if they came with water, would run over and drink a few sips. It's a pity that when Ling Lang walked over to look at it this time, the mountain spring had already dried up, leaving the small gravel in the small pool and the whitened soil and sand.

Ling Lang stood there for a while, shook his head, sighed, and felt a lot worse for some reason.

Fortunately, where the mountain began to steepen, it has not yet been developed. The familiar scenery began to overlap with the memories in my mind. The wind blows the mountains and forests, the green shade is waving, the sun is dappled, and even the sweat on the forehead seems to be the same as before.

I came to that big hurdle again, and it was in this place that there were two girls who stretched out their hands to pull themselves up, but at that time they only stretched out a branch. Ling Lang thought of the group photo of the four people who had been cut open in the middle by him and then glued together, when he took it out this year, it was already very yellowed, and there were a lot of white mildew, which could not be wiped off no matter how he wiped it.

It took more than two hours, Ling Lang finally climbed to the top of Grandma's bun, the top of the mountain is actually a pile of rubble, the stones are large and small, the largest round stone, on the outer edge of the mountaintop, the widest part can squeeze down more than a dozen people, nearly three meters high.

Probably for safety reasons, the "stone ladder" that was originally piled up with stones next to the large boulders for people to climb up has been pushed down. However, this is not as difficult as Ling Lang now, he brought a few slightly larger stones, put them underneath, took a few steps back, and rushed forward.

When you climb to the highest point and sit down on the edge of the big boulder, you will inevitably worry about whether the stone will be crushed and rolled down because there are more people. Before this happened, Ling Lang didn't dare to do it, but now he naturally lost that fear of palpitations.

On the top of the mountain, the wind blows like a surge, and the sea of clouds is steaming in the distance. The cloud bun is still combed in the mirror, and Luo Yi wants to change it to add more fragrance. These two lines of poetry were once found on a stone slab, engraved on it, and inserted in the center of the pile of stones, but unfortunately they are gone. Just like the plum trees in the middle of the mountain, those places used to be full of Yingshan red, but now there are still a few handfuls scattered around the top of the mountain. There were a few flowers hanging on it that had not yet bloomed, and they were also soothing.
