Three months after the induction training, Tian Xiang and Ma Ruilin were both assigned to the exploration team, the only difference was that Lao Ma was assigned to the second team, while Tian Xiang was assigned to the fifth team. Although it was divided, it was still an internship period, and the salary was halved. And the two of them rented a house in an urban village, because they had just joined and had not gone out on a mission, they were mixed together all day and night, the four eyes and the monkey often came and went, Xue Yuxin would also come over to join in the fun, and the small room where the two lived often echoed with laughter and laughter. For Tian Xiang, this is an extremely happy time.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Tian Xiang has been working for a year and a half. From a big boy who just joined the work and didn't know how to even know how to measure instruments, he has grown into a young and promising backbone of the exploration team. The speed of progress is so fast, not to mention that the old captain doesn't even believe it himself.

For more than a year, shuttling between the mountains and mountains, although most of them are in the province, they are quite far away from the provincial capital, so there are not many opportunities for him and Xue Yuxin to meet, but the phone calls have never stopped, and he has to get tired of it for half a day almost every day. He told Xue Yuxin what he saw and thought every day, including dangerous peaks and mountains, clouds and mountains and foggy seas, the ecstasy of peeking at the mineral veins, and the loss of finding nothing. She listened, laughed, and worried, she was used to, and even infatuated with, Tian Xiang's voice, if she didn't hear his laughter, she would toss and turn in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep peacefully, and would even be awakened by nightmares. However, Tian Xiang's mobile phone is often in a state of inaccessibility, and she understands that after all, when she travels between the poor mountains and remote areas, the mobile phone signal cannot cover those places at all.

Until one day he told Xue Yuxin about the dream he had been repeating, because it had become more and more frequent recently.

"How are you coming back?" Xue Yuxin asked softly with the faint worry in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Tian Xiang asked.

"I miss you, I miss you very much. Xue Yuxin's voice was very low, and she seemed to be crying over there.

Tian Xiang was silent, he didn't know what to say. originally wanted to give Xue Yuxin the best life, but what happened to the result? A little guilty, but also a little helpless, with a long sigh, "I'll go back next month." ”

After hanging up the phone, his heart was in a panic, and there was an indescribable depression that made him breathless. Walking out of the makeshift tent set up in the valley of the mountain, looking at the lush mountains, "Whew", he yelled, trying to vomit the depression in his chest.

Each head poked out of the tent next to him, his beard was scruffy and he wore glasses, squinted his eyes and asked in a serious voice: "Xiang, are you in heat in broad daylight?" "This bearded man's name is Yu Cheng, he is in his forties, and he is the oldest in the entire team. This guy has a lot of experience and a high level of professionalism, the only drawback is that he loves to tell pornographic jokes, and whether he is male or female, he has to interpret the pornographic content to the extreme, and even every action has a vivid and vivid explanation. Therefore, the team respectfully called him "Lao Huang". Over time, everyone seems to have forgotten his name, regardless of men, women and children, and even the leaders of the bureau have followed the customs of the locals and respected him as "Lao Huang". I heard that a few years ago, he changed his surname on a commendation document.

Tian Xiang glanced at him, and before he could reply, someone ran over from a distance, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" It's Chen Wei, another teammate, black and thin, super white with a mouth full of teeth exposed, in his thirties, but he looks extremely old.

"Viagra, don't come here, Lao Huang is spraying feces. Tian Xiang has been very familiar with them for a long time, and often makes some jokes.

"You kid, why don't you change your words, viagra viagra is more stumbling than Lao Huang. Chen Weiwei scolded and walked this way.

"Contentment puts you, you are the brother of more than 20 people in our team, and you are still dissatisfied, how can you change your words? Change it to an aphrodisiac?" Lao Huang grinned.

"Lao Huang, don't spray feces everywhere. Just now, the captain called, and returned to the station before dark. Chen Wei said as he cleaned up the instruments scattered on the ground.

Lao Huang looked at the watch on his wrist and snorted, "Lao Du Jing is begging for eggs, so far away, it will be dark in another hour, can this poor mountain and old forest go down?"

The team sent two groups into the mountain to do preliminary surveying and mapping research, they were three in a group, since the day before yesterday have settled here, originally this afternoon to rush back, but a few data are not very accurate, so the three of them simply discussed, ready to stay for one more day. To say that this is a very normal thing, and to say that the distance is so far, it stands to reason that the captain would not give such an unreasonable order. Tian Xiang felt inexplicable, "Why?"

The captain didn't say anything, only ordered to go back. Chen Wei replied as he cleaned up.

"What the hell can you do, he didn't say he wouldn't ask?" Lao Huang glanced at him, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the captain Du Shengcai, "Captain, it's almost dark and you can't climb down the mountain, how can you return?" Lao Huang grinned and said to the phone nonchalantly.

Tian Xiang and Chen Wei didn't hear what the captain said on the phone, only to see Lao Huang's expression becoming more and more serious, "Yes!" Lao Huang bounced up from the ground and raised his foot to extinguish the cigarette butt that had just been thrown on the ground.

Tian Xiang rarely saw Lao Huang more seriously, and leaned over with a hippie smile to make a joke. "Get out and collect something! Quick!" Before he could say anything, he was scolded by Lao Huang. Tian Xiang stuck out his tongue, didn't dare to refute, and helped.

It's not troublesome to put away some instrument tents and simple daily necessities, and after a while, a few people will pack up and prepare for the road. Before leaving, Lao Huang actually took out the shotgun from Huang's satchel, and there were only three people in the team who were equipped with this thing, one was the captain Du Chengcai, and the other two were veteran team members, one of whom was Comrade Lao Huang.

Chen Wei and Tian Xiang were both stunned, and their hearts became nervous in vain, "Brother Huang, what's wrong?"

Lao Huang said while checking the shotgun, "Damn, that group was wolfed, and someone was injured." You two boys need to be a little longer on the road, don't treat that thing like a dog. Lao Du pressed the bullet into the shotgun with a serious face.

Tian Xiang's heart tightened, he had heard a lot of such things since he joined the company, and today was the first time he encountered it. But what he couldn't understand was that there was a trace of anticipation in addition to being nervous. "Will you really touch that thing?" Tian Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"I hope you don't touch it, it's a difficult thing, it's okay at one or two ends, and it's hard to make trouble in a group. Lao Huang paused for a moment and ordered loudly, "Let's go!" ”

Of course, everyone has walked the way, and they naturally know in their hearts that this is an impossible order. But no one refuted, and the two of them carried the instruments and equipment and followed Lao Huang to the bottom of the mountain quickly.
