Chapter 55: Civil strife
"Voice?" Boss Wu stopped, listened attentively, and sighed with some doubts, "There is no sound, it can't be the mountain wind, right? ”
"It doesn't seem to be," Jade calmed down and listened into the distance, strangely there was no sound at this moment, her heart sank, she took a deep breath, and said lightly, "Maybe it's possible." ”
"That's it for walking at night," Boss Wu comforted calmly, "The vision is not good, the senses are not sensitive, and it is easy to have various deviations." As for us, not only walking at night, but also in the valley, the mountain wind and the wild beasts may make noise, sometimes making noise, sometimes no sound, this is normal, there is nothing to be suspicious. ”
"Beast?" Jade shuddered and turned pale at the sight of a mouse, let alone a mountain beast that would scare her half to death just thinking about it. At this moment, hearing Boss Wu's calm tone and sincere words, it didn't seem like a joke at all, she suddenly felt a chill in the back of her head, her hair seemed to stand on end, her whole body was stiff, and her legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead......
"No matter," Ah Zi was really worried about the safety of Boss Wu and Cuiyu, so she couldn't sit still, so she suddenly stood up and said hurriedly, "I have to go to them, no matter what happens, I can't just sit still, even if I get lost......
"Shut up!" Qiao Xiaojing also stood up, her eyes widened angrily, staring at Ah Zi and scolding, "What do you know? Sit down for me, and sit honestly. ”
"Team Leader Qiao," although the big man was afraid that Qiao Xiaojing would be angry, he still stubbornly said, "You are angry, I think Ah Zi is also worried about Boss Wu and Cuiyu, so he is so anxious, not to cause trouble." It is true that it is not suitable for us to sit like this, after all, this is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, the road is rugged, the moonlight is dim, the terrain is not clear, and the situation above and below the mountain is not familiar......"
"You," Qiao Xiaojing turned her head to stare at the big man, and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"
"I," the big man let out a long breath and whispered, "I want to say that Cuiyu and Boss Wu have been going down the mountain for a long time, and if they can't find water, they should have come back early, and they haven't come back yet, so we should at least go down the mountain to have a look......"
"You also shut up for me," Qiao Xiaojing didn't wait for the big man to finish speaking, gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you understand what I just said?" Okay, then I'll repeat it again, at this time, none of you can leave here, let alone go to Boss Wu and Cuiyu, just sit by the fire and wait for them, remember, this is not a consultation with you, this is an order......
"Wu, Boss Wu," Jade asked timidly, as her teeth seemed to fight, "Are there really wild beasts in this mountain?" I think you're joking with me. Although I often hear people say: barren mountains and mountains, wild beasts infest. This can only be said that wild beasts infest barren mountains and mountains, but it is not necessarily that there are wild beasts in every barren mountains and mountains, right?!"
"I can't say for sure," Boss Wu said, "For the barren mountains and mountains here, like you, I am a newcomer, and I don't know what the situation is, whether there are any beasts or not, and if there are, what kind of beasts are even more unclear." ”
"So you were just guessing, I thought it was ......" Cuiyu breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, she looked left and right, although she couldn't see anything.
"I'm kind of clear," Boss Wu laughed out loud, and said while laughing, "You are nervous and afraid, worried that there will really be beasts and monsters in the middle of the road." Hehe, it's really unthinkable, you, a heroine who is not even afraid of bullets and bullets, and dares to compete with the enemy, will be afraid of any beast, it seems that this is really a human weakness!"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes," Jade said with a smile as she said with a smile as she was not bothered by the beasts, or rather, or that it was much less troubled. I don't know why, but I've been scared for as long as I can remember, and when I see a mouse, my legs don't seem to listen to commands, and I either tremble or stiffen, and in short, it's hard to take another step. Think about it, a little mouse can scare me like that, not to mention all kinds of wild beasts in the deep mountains and old forests. ”
"Normally," Boss Wu said earnestly, "it is difficult for people to get along with all kinds of animals, of course, I am talking about the exception of domesticated ones, people and animals are wary, afraid that animals will attack themselves, causing themselves to be harmed, in fact, animals are the same, they are also wary of people, afraid that people will hurt them." Therefore, a large number of beasts will not actively attack people, as long as they do not feel afraid, at least not let them feel that you will hurt them, then they will not hurt you. It's mutual, it's called harmonious coexistence!"
"It makes sense, people are like this, because they are afraid of mice, so they have to find ways to destroy it......" Cuiyu said half a sentence, suddenly stopped, listened carefully for a few seconds, and said to Boss Wu behind him, "Ahead, just in front......" Before the words fell, this Jade hurriedly ran to the front, not caring about the road under the feet of the dark sky.
"Ahead?" Boss Wu couldn't understand it, and he couldn't see it thoroughly, so he shook his head and said, "What's ahead......"
"Didn't I say it doesn't count?" On the top of the mountain, due to the delay in seeing Cuiyu and Boss Wu return, Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big man made a fuss, shouting that they had to go down the mountain to find them, Qiao Xiaojing couldn't control the situation a little, she roared angrily, "I, in your eyes, am I still not the team leader? My order, don't you want to carry it out? Ah, speak!"
Ah Zi, Da Zhi and the big man turned their backs to Qiao Xiaojing, the three of them stood still with their bodies tilted, Ah Zi asked indignantly: "Then you say, if something really happens to them, we, what should we do? And my mission, we are going to escort Boss Wu to Yan'an this time, how can our mission be completed? Who will bear this responsibility, and who can afford it?"
"That's it," Dazhi said, "I think what Ah Zi said is very reasonable, this responsibility is too great, and none of us can afford it." And Jade, who is our comrade-in-arms and your sister. We are like brothers and sisters who are not biological but are better than biological brothers, no one can have an accident, really. Do you just want to see what happens to them?"
"I understand your feelings," Qiao Xiaojing's tone softened a lot, she said, "but I also hope you can understand my feelings, as the leader of the Creeper Special Operations Group, I have to be responsible for everyone in this group, not just Jade, you also know this." Besides, I trust them, they will be fine, they will definitely come. ”
"Hmph," the big man couldn't hold back and said angrily, "What's the use of talking so much? Speaking of which, don't you still let us go down the mountain to find Cuiyu and Boss Wu? I can't think of it, I can't think of it......"
"Jade," that Boss Wu is old after all, the night is dark, the road is not only bumpy, but also more and more muddy, the road is still dry before, the strange thing is that the more you walk, the more wet it is, Boss Wu thinks that it may be that the weather is cold, because of the dew, his movements have slowed down significantly, slower than Jade, so he has to hurriedly follow behind Cuiyu, who is getting farther and farther away from him, and shouted, "You wait for me, what are you doing so far, what is in front of you?"
"I saw it, I saw it......" Jade looked very excited, like a child who had been thinking about it for a long time and finally got her favorite toy, not far away, expressing her inner excitement with her hearty laughter and crisp words.
This jade is simply a child, anxious to return to the mountain for a while, and afraid of encountering wild beasts for a while, and now I don't care if Team Leader Qiao is concerned, and I don't worry about whether I will encounter wild beasts, whether I will be hurt, it's really...... Boss Wu chased after him slowly, but the distance between him and Cuiyu was still getting bigger and bigger, and he still complained a little in his heart.
"Don't think," Qiao Xiaojing was very angry at Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big man's repeated insistence on going down the mountain, and said angrily, "It seems that the three of you care about your comrades and comrades-in-arms, don't I care?" Cuiyu is our comrade-in-arms, a friend who is like a sister to me, and Boss Wu is our mission target, and he is also our predecessor and teacher. But we don't know what is going on here, and it's dark at night, and they may get lost, but sooner or later they will find us, but if we go to them, and stagger away from them, and don't know where the target is, won't we go farther and farther, and the more dangerous it becomes?"
"It's ridiculous," Ah Zi sneered, "You're afraid of accidents, you can keep this fire, you can not go down the mountain, but we are not afraid, we go down the mountain to find Cuiyu and Boss Wu would rather take some risks, this is not only the obligation and responsibility of each member of our group, but also the personal expression of emotions of the three of us, is this wrong?"
"That's it," Dazhi said angrily, "Our comrades-in-arms and friends went down the mountain for all of us, most of the day has passed, the mountain road is difficult to walk, the sky is dark, as comrades-in-arms and friends, we should go down the mountain to have a look, it's best to be fine, everyone is happy, if there is any danger, we can also contribute to help them resolve the danger." ”
"I said Team Leader Qiao," the big man said a little helplessly, "Don't you think you're too calm every time you encounter a big event......?"
"Okay, great!" Boss Wu finally caught up with Cuiyu, and saw that Cuiyu was standing on the edge of a small river, the flowing water shimmered mottled silver light under the moonlight, and seemed to wink at them, the sound of gurgling water was like a pleasant piano sound, crisp and mellow, at this moment, every sound seemed to beat from their hearts.
"Finally found a water source," Cuiyu said excitedly, "Finally there is water to drink, finally you don't have to limit everyone's water consumption, you can finally let everyone drink happily." ”
Boss Wu helped Cuiyu fill all the bamboo tubes and kettles she brought with her, stood up, and said with a smile: "This is really an exciting night, I believe that Team Leader Qiao and they will definitely be very excited if they see that we have found water." ”
"Let's go, they must be worried. Jade found the water, and wanted to send it to her comrades immediately.
"It's easy to go back...... Boss Wu followed behind Cuiyu.
"In that case," and at this time, Ah Zi seemed to have lost her mind, and she roared, "Well, from now on, I won't be with you as a cold-blooded animal, and I don't care about Boss Wu's life or death......"
