Chapter 154: Little Things on the Road
Drain ......
The cloudy weather for several days seemed to be like God's unhappy face, and at this moment, the gauzy light rain fell like teardrops.
Rugged mountain roads, dirt trails.
"Your mother, this bad weather is really not the right time. The strong man with a loud voice grumbled as he wiped the raindrops from his face.
"Be content, David, if it was the day before yesterday, it would be miserable!" a chubby young man put his palm on his forehead and looked into the distance.
"Bah, you crow's mouth!"
It was David and Harry who spoke, and behind them were the three new members, who had come out to find their way.
There is no seniority in the gray space team, and if you have to talk about rank, then the old players are more authoritative than the new ones. David is undoubtedly the oldest of the kind, but Harry and his group have lived and died with him, and the two sides have long blurred the boundaries of rank, and it is normal to joke with each other. If it's a new member, you should add a "captain" or something before you speak.
The city's propaganda jihua has been launched, and they and the propagandists led by Josia have set off the day before yesterday. However, the station is really not close to the target city. The walk took about three days, but just as they were about to arrive, it was unfortunate to encounter rain.
"Okay, it's all touched, what else is there to complain about. Harry replied casually, then looked at the simple hourglass in his arms, "Well, when the time comes, let's go back and report first!"
As a scout, of course, you have to report back the situation in a timely manner.
"You first keep here. After David finished ordering the three new members, he and Harry ran backwards, one foot deep and one shallow.
After a while, I saw a group of people walking on the mountain road behind me with leaves. At the front of the line were young men and women chatting.
"Hey, David, you've been in contact with the boss for the longest time. Harry rolled his eyes and asked suddenly.
David rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, when I followed the boss." You kid......"
"Stop, stop!" Harry asked, scrambling for a moment, "and you know the Boss and Miss Josia...... Hey, hey!"
"Oh, that's what you say!" David understood what Harry meant, and learned to touch Donn's chin, "Well, this." That one...... Uh, I don't know either. ”
"Your mother!" said Harry, who was full of anticipation, almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "I didn't know you were still pretending here!"
"How can I be blamed for this. David said dissatisfiedly, "It's not that you don't know the character of the boss, if he doesn't say it, what can you see? I used to just test it a little, and I was immediately recognized...... Well, but I heard from Philip. Josia should like the boss. ”
"Oh, tell me, tell ......me," Harry immediately came to his senses again, and said urgently, "Philip is indeed experienced, how did he see it?"
David stopped. After thinking about it: "I can't remember ...... clearly"
"I'll wipe your ......"
"Oh, I remember. David said in a timely manner, "Philip said that Josia is a very assertive person, so it is easy to have a good impression of the kind of person who is more knowledgeable than her. But in the same year, she was good enough. So if it goes on like this, she is likely to fall in love with an uncle, an old grandfather or something...... But she was the boss, na. You know, although the boss looks a little ordinary, all kinds of ideas and ideas in his head are endless, plus he is just the right age, so Josia should like it. Well, that's what Philip said......"
"Makes sense, makes sense!" Harry patted his thigh, his face excited, "Philip, this kid is really not a fool, the head of the analysis is the way...... Tsk, so it's a woman chasing a man! There's a play, there's definitely a play!"
"What are you two muttering about there, and you can't come over?" Donn's voice could be heard in the distance.
"Ah, uh...... It's coming, it's coming!" David and Harry ran over in a little panic.
"Ahem!" Harry instantly stabilized his mind and spoke, "Boss, there's nothing abnormal ahead. In a little while, we'll be in Riva!"
Riva City is the target that Don and his team have chosen this time. It is a medium-sized city in the north, founded less than a hundred years ago, and used to be just a town, but later it gradually formed because of the discovery of many mineral veins around it, and the transportation of merchants to and fro.
There is a reason why it is the target of propaganda. The aristocracy attached absolute importance to the mineral veins, and similarly, exploited the most ruthlessly. The city has had several riots in the past because of the ore incident, and the resentment of the people is very deep, which will undoubtedly make the propaganda of the Gray Army more effective.
"Hmm. Don nodded, then frowned, "David, what are you looking at, the expression is so strange." ”
David was secretly looking at Don and Josia at this time, and he was very flustered when he heard the inquiry: "No, it's nothing." ”
Harry's mind was full of energy, and he knew that David would definitely be exposed if he continued like this, so he immediately said, "Boss, let's go back and explore the way first." ”
After speaking, as soon as he touched David's legs and feet, the latter understood and said the same thing along the way.
"Well, go ahead. Don looked at David inexplicably and waved his hand.
As if they had been pardoned, David avoided Done's sharp gaze and ran into the distance.
Shaking his head, Don turned around and said, "Josia, don't think too much. The boss makes you a hero, and naturally she has a reason. You just have to do it as you did before. ”
"But I, I'm ......" Josia bit her lip and stammered a little.
It all started on the eve of departure, and Losha finally remembered to communicate with Josia about the heroes of the Gray Army. Josia listened to it with interest at first, and strongly agreed that such a hero should be erected. But when she learned that she was this hero, her mind was confused, and she didn't hear a word of what Luo Sha said afterward.
I am the hero of the Gray Army...... What a joke.
didn't wait to refuse, but Josia who came back to her senses found that Luosha had already left, and the bad thing was that she had subconsciously nodded before, uh-huh, uh-huh, she actually agreed like that.
After that, of course, I didn't get a good night's sleep, and Josia thought a lot...... That's right, she joined the Gray Army to make her greatest contribution, but being a hero or something was completely out of her consideration. It's not that she doesn't have self-confidence, well, it's not self-confidence at all.
Although Josia sometimes falls into the childish illusion of a girl, such as the Gray Army growing stronger and stronger with her efforts, big enough to compete with the Bran Empire, and then she can improve the status and life of civilians, etc. But that's just an occasional thought, and you can only use it as a goal for the future to motivate yourself. In fact, Josia is still a more pragmatic person by and large.
But now Luo Sha suddenly called the pragmatic her to be the hero of the Gray Army...... It's like a small village chief who is anxious about managing everything in the village, but suddenly he is appointed to be the lord of the city. There are surprises, of course, but more of them are overwhelming fear......
"Believe in yourself!" Don encouraged, "but you are a nobleman and dare to lead the parade of the poor, abandon your noble status and privilege life to join the Grey Army, inspire the crowd when you are hunted down, and strongly criticize your opponents when you negotiate...... Josia!"
As Don continued to speak of his exploits, Josia's expression began to gradually change back to firmness.
Josia herself is a stubborn character who rises to the challenge, and at this time, she is just frightened by this sudden great title, give her time, and she can come out of it herself, not to mention Done's continuous encouragement in the past two days.
"Hmm...... Then I'll give it a try!" Josia pursed her lips, her jade face full of solemnity.
"Haha, that's right. Tang En let out a loud daxiao, full of relief.
Call...... Josia let out a long breath, and her tone was a little complaining: "Aunt Luosha is really, I was already a little nervous about the city's propaganda jihua, but she still scared me at this time...... Don, you too. I don't want to be it, and I recommend ......"
"Uh......" Don touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm not out of place." ”
"Excuses! You know more than I do, and you're better than me......" Josia began to think in a broken way.
"Ahem. Hey, David, why haven't they come back to report yet, nothing will happen, well, I'll have to go and see. After saying it to himself, Don pulled his legs and was about to rush forward.
"Boss, Boss......"
Belch...... Donn, who had just run two steps, paused, and saw David and the others running towards him.
"Riva City has arrived!"
The reason has just been made up, do you want to be so fast...... (To be continued.) )
