"I'll stay here for 3 days, waiting for your reply" Ivan smiled and sent Ling Ye out of the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Jiuxiao's small figure squatting outside.

"Why don't you go in?" Ling Ye asked.

"I don't want to go in, I don't want to hear about you adults," Zhao Jiuxiao replied slowly.

Ling Ye knew that this was just an excuse, after all, what this kid liked most was to eavesdrop on the conversations of the various families in the camp, but he didn't want to answer honestly, and Ling Ye didn't want to ask more.

"That'...... Let's go."

"Oh......"

Zhao Jiuxiao stuffed the strange stone into Ling Ye's hand, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to the camp.

Ling Ye was just about to take a step when he was stopped by Zhao Jiuxiao:

"Aren't you going to give us an explanation?"

"We? ...... are you referring to?"

"You know!" Zhao Jiuxiao screamed, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"This operation was a failure, and as the captain, I have an unshirkable responsibility......"

"I don't want to listen to this!" Zhao Jiuxiao shouted, "When Aunt Xiang went out, she was still fine, but after she came back, not only was her body gone, but even her soul had to share a body with others, do you know how wrong you did?" ”

"I ......"

"Obviously when she left, Aunt Xiang was still very happy, but now she ......" Zhao Jiuxiao said, his head drooped, and then he raised his head suddenly, and shouted angrily at Ling Ye:

"It's all your fault, it's all because of you!"

He angrily smashed his fist at Ling Ye, who frowned at his move, but did not stop it, still smashed his fist on his leg.

Since he returned to the camp, everyone has comforted him, told him that everything was just an accident, not to blame himself, and even Ivan, who praised him for being a good man, just not lucky enough.

Only he himself understands how wrong he has been, in order to repay his kindness, not only did he put his teammates in, but he may not even be able to come back, so reckless and confused, he is not the original vigilant him at all.

Looking at Zhao Jiuxiao, who was angrily swinging his fist at him, his heart was a lot lighter.

He was afraid, he was afraid that the people around him would be strangers to him because of his status as a leader, and they would never be close to him again, and then he would really become a loner.

If you think about it, wasn't that what your previous self was?

I go to school alone, go to work and get off work alone, lie alone in the dormitory, eat and sleep, no one cares, no one cares, I am not good at communicating with people, and I am afraid that they will dislike me.

I want to hear them tell the truth, but I can't get into each other's hearts.

In the face of a childish child who can vent his temper, he has a feeling of being alive.

At the moment, he doesn't want to be a leader, he doesn't want to be a captain, he just wants to be himself.

He squatted down, hugged Zhao Jiuxiao in his arms, and patted him gently:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I only think about myself, I am a selfish person, I can't bear the responsibility of the life and death of the four of them, but I chose to take them out, in the future, I will never do this again, I must put the lives of my teammates in front of myself, put the safety of the camp personnel in an important position, all casualties and adventures should not arise because of insufficient preparation, you believe me again, okay?"

Zhao Jiuxiao was stunned, he listened to Ling Ye's sincere words, he couldn't react for a while, and waited for a long time before he held back one word:

"Good"

When the two came to the square, they found that many people had gathered there, and a bonfire was lit in the middle, and the surroundings were warm.

"What are they doing?"

"Every winter, there is a celebration to pray for a safe year, and the adults will grill some meat, give it to everyone, and have new clothes to wear," Zhao Jiuxiao replied.

"Oh, it's the equivalent of the New Year"

"Chinese New Year? What is Chinese New Year? What is 'year'? ”

Looking at Zhao Jiuxiao's puzzled expression, Ling Ye just smiled and didn't explain, pulling him into the crowd.

Watching people sing and dance happily, he seemed to remember when he was a child when his family was together.

"Captain!" A person hurriedly ran over and handed the hot barbecue to Ling Ye's hand.

"Taste it!" He said with a smile.

Ling Ye nodded, biting the meat into his mouth, a rich aroma instantly filled his entire mouth, he swallowed, and a warmth rose in his stomach.

"Don't worry, there's still one over there!" The man gestured to the grill in the distance, where the skewers were fragrant and dripping with golden grease down the stem.

"When did you come back? Qian Bo"

"Hmm...... This morning"

"Oh, what about Zhou Hui?"

"Over there, it's just squatting there and drawing!" Qian Bo pointed to a girl by the fire and said, "Leave her alone, she usually likes to write and draw, if you disturb her, she won't be happy!" ”

Looking at Qian Bo's expression, although he was dissatisfied, his eyes were always glancing at the past, Ling Ye laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, no," Ling Ye hurriedly waved his hand.

The two played for a while, and they were tired of playing, so they talked about what happened during this time while eating barbecue.

"Actually, I don't usually have much to do, just stay in the house and watch Zhou Hui write and draw, she always looks around with binoculars, looking at monsters and plants during the day, looking at the stars and moon at night, very little time, we will go out and collect some seeds or biological bones to observe," Qian Bo said while eating barbecue.

"Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt? Ling Ye asked with concern.

"It's okay, I don't feel uncomfortable, but Sister Xin said that it will take at least 1 year for my anemia to recover, and told me to go out more and eat more meat, what about you, how are you doing?"

“...... I" opened my mouth in the middle of the night, and I didn't say anything for a long time.

"Actually, I know, that matter, the camp can't hide secrets, in short, it's a lesson, it's good to correct it next time" Qian Bo saw Ling Ye's embarrassment and said bluntly.

"Okay," Ling Ye agreed.

"One more thing, Ivan, is that I told you before, that the merchant who cooperated with me in the Black Forest came to see me, and invited me to his hometown 'Oasa', saying that he wanted to do exclusive business with us, and asked me to go and see his shop, I was a little hesitant, should I go?"

"Go," Qian Bo bit off the last piece of meat and said lightly, "Anyway, it's idle in the camp, so it's better to go and join in the fun, I heard that 'Oasa' is like summer all year round, and it's very warm, but it's a pity that he didn't invite me, otherwise I would like to go and see."

Suddenly, Zhao Jiuxiao walked over, pulled Ling Ye's sleeve, and motioned for him to come over.
