Zheng Kai was rushing toward the top of the hill with Wang Xiang tied on his back and Lin Wenxi tied to his front. The rope had to sustain the weight of the three boys, and the blue veins on Zheng Kai's arms had all stood out. The dry twig in Zheng Kai's mouth nearly got chewed through. Despite these, Zheng Kai continued to rush toward the top.
"Zheng Kai, go back down!" Zhao Yuan shouted.
Zheng Kai spat out the dry twig and retorted, "Zhao Yuan how can you outshine me today?" The twig rolled on the cliff for some time and then fell down silently. Zhao Yuan felt that his heart sank together with the twig.
"Zheng Kai, are you stupid? You get upset, so you put three people's lives in danger. Wenxi... Wang Xiang... are you alright?" Zhao Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and tried his best to catch up with Zheng Kai, planning to help him out when there was a need.
"Zhao Yuan, I'm fine," Lin Wenxi said
The two girls quickly came up to help them dress the wound. Zheng Kai pointed at Lin Wenxi, who was lying on the ground silently, looking pale. Zhang An'an had seen Zheng Kai push Lin Wenxi up just now. She really wanted to joke about it and asked Lin Wenxi whether his assh*le was alright. However, when she saw the injuries on their bodies, she decided to remain silent about this. When she was about to accuse Wang Xiang of being so useless, she saw him dress Zheng Kai's wounds professionally and carefully. She smirked and thought to herself, "Well, looks like Wang Xiang knows how to dress wounds better than me." As such, she could only focus on taking care of Lin Wenxi. She said, "Cutie Wenxi, be brave. It may cause you a little pain. Let me blow it for you to give you some comfort. You'll recover very soon, cutie Wenxi." Upon hearing that, the other two boys felt disgusted. When the two girls focused on taking care of Lin Wenxi, Wang Xiang looked
After taking some rest, the team started to travel again. Suddenly, it became somewhat cold, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky, casting a long shadow over the mountains. The team saw the lightning and then heard the thunder. It was windy, and it was going to rain very soon. Lin Wenxi looked back at the mountain village and somehow thought of the young woman, her piano and her story again. When the team members all put on their helmets and burrowed into the wood, someone hurriedly chased after them and cursed. "These brats, you even dared to climb the cliff..." After running for a while, he stopped wearily and said to himself. "Well, if I had not drunk too much last night... Zhao Yuan is indeed good at drinking." That evening, the team deliberately chose to camp at the top of a slope since it was raining, but at night, their tents still got flooded. When Zhao Yuan woke up, he felt that his pants got wet and thought that he probably had a wet dream.
"Attention, march rapidly!" Zhao Yuan commanded. The team set off again. As it rained intermittently, the team had to stop sometimes. Lin Wenxi could not remember how many times they stopped. The only thing that he remembered was the warmth of Zhao Yuan's back. He felt so warm there that he nearly broke into a sweat. After traveling for some time, he felt that someone fed him some liquid food which tasted like bread. Another time when they stopped, he heard Zheng Kai's deep voice. "Hold these two bamboo sticks in place!" After that, he felt that he was lying comfortably on a stretcher instead of being carried by Zheng Kai or Zhao Yuan. When the team stopped again, he heard the boys leave to fetch some water and the girls chatting together. Chen Wanxin said, "Looks like he's even weaker than a girl! Zheng Kai has muscles, Wang Xiang reads the map, and Zhao Yuan is our leader. The three of us have to pack up the tents, wash the clothes and
In the beginning of his test, Zheng Kai was given 10 rubber bullets and asked to shoot an AK47 model gun. He was told that he could get 1 point by getting seven 10-rings. There were 10 scoring rings on the target, and the 10-ring was the small center spot of the target. Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan widened his eyes in surprise and began to wonder how difficult his test would be, while touching Lin Wenxi's forehead with one hand to check whether he still had a high body temperature. The moment Zheng Kai saw the model gun, he looked grim. He observed the gun for a moment and then quickly loaded the bullets into it. He lifted up the gun, aimed and shot all the bullet shots at once. Nine of these bullets hit the 10-ring. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan could not help but cheer. Zheng Kai easily got one point. After that, he was asked to dismantle and reassemble an AMR sniper rifle model. He swiftly completed this task, which deeply impressed Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. After gett
"You just continue to recite poetic lines containing the character 'Yuan' (deep water) and leave the rest to me," Zhao Yuan bent down to talk to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi nodded and quickly recited 7 or 8 lines. "Read Tao Yuanming's poems aloud, I'll rise from Jiuyuan... Fish swimming in the deep water and birds flying among the wood, each in its own place..." The red light was on again and began to flicker, signalling to the examinees that the had to leave now. The examiner in the corner stood up impatiently. "I protest!" Zhao Yuan raised his hand high and said. "Speak," The examiner in the dark corner still remained barely visible to them. He stood still like a statue. "We're a team. According to the rules, we can answer questions together. The 20th question asks us to recite 50 poetic lines, each including a character from the examinee's name. Just now Lin Wenxi recited lines including the character 'Xi' f
"You, You are really..." Shu Xiaoman was stuck for words upon seeing the three boys hurriedly getting ready to set off again. She suddenly felt so sad that she gritted her teeth and stormed out of the room. She happened to run into Zhang An'an at the door, and Zhang An'an touched her forehead and asked worriedly, "What happened?" "An'an, Wenxi, Wenxi, he wants to join the competition again!" Shu Xiaoman said while sobbing. Zhang An'an immediately understood why Shu Xiaoman suddenly decided to give up the competition and became so sad. She looked at Wang Xiang while thinking, "I should feel lucky since Wang Xiang is such an obedient guy." She sighed and said, "Don't worry. Better days are yet to come. Will you feel better by thinking that he joined the competition because of Zhao Yuan?" "I don't know. I just feel sad," Shu Xiaoman replied with a somber face. The two girls went out to talk
Chen Wanxin talked and laughed all along the way and told Lin Wenxi something about her family. According to her, her father was a low-ranked official, and her family ran a small business. Throughout the conversation, she never told him what kind of official he father was or what kind of business her family ran. Obviously, she did not plan to let him know. He did not ask her for more details, as he only cared about the things that were important to him. Lin Wenxi and Chen Yuxin helped each other all along the way. After a morning's trek, Chen Wanxin expressed her concern about Lin Wenxi's health, and then they found a place to sit down and have a rest. Chen Wanxin asked Lin Wenxi to keep an eye on her backpack and shyly said that she had to leave for a moment. Lin Wenxi looked at her inquiringly. She had a blush on her cheek and said, "I have to use the toilet." "I see," Lin Wenxi responded and turned around. It wa
The next morning, Chen Wanxin looked listless, since she had been perplexed for a whole night by the thought that Zhao Yuan had left the fish only for Lin Wenxi instead of her. Lin Wenxi, however, looked energetic since he had a good sleep after taking the medicine left by Zhao Yuan. It turned out to be very effective in curing the cold. As such, Lin Wenxi helped Chen Wanxin a lot during the trip that day. In the evening, Lin Wenxi spent a lot time looking for a camping ground. Chen Wanxin could tell that he was anxiously looking for something. At 10:00 pm. Chen Wanxin stood behind Lin Wenxi with a bottle of green sauce in hand. She stared coldly at him, inserted it into the soil and stepped heavily on it. Lin Wenxi found an extinguished campfire and a flat rock used for cooking here. He could tell that they were left by Zhao Yuan, but he failed to notice two specially made hooks on the rock. Zhao Yuan had often tied the hooks on his ropes and let the girls prepare
Chen Yuanxi watched the videos attentively on the bed. Chen Yuanxi watched the first video. A gentle man gently bent over to put the clothes on the boy's quilt who was lying on the bed. The boy turned over in a daze, and put his arms around the man's neck with a happy smile on his face. The man kept the posture of leaning down for fear of waking up the boy on the bed until the boy's hands slipped, and fell outside the quilt. Then the man held the boy's hands, put them in the quilt, and tightly held him in the quilt. He lowered his head, and whispered something. After a while, the man got into the quilt, hugged the boy from behind, and his face was close to the boy's back... At that time, Chen Yuanxi could smell a strange smell in the room. Even the forensic said it was estrus-spurred medicine. At that time, how could Zhang Dong restrain himself and protect Chen Yuanxi? How could he guarantee that Chen Yuanxi and he could safely leave under the pressure of
The prison in the small town. Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian were arranged to meet in a separate room. "Unexpectedly, uncle Hong Xuan and Zhang Dong worked together, and they could only make Luo Yang was sentenced to death. You can still wait for further investigation," Chen Yuanxi said with a smile, "Old friend, long time no see." In front of Chen Yuanxi, Mo Qian, once rich and glorious, was still wearing his glasses of silver frame, whose both sides had been badly worn. In prison, he had no chance to silver it. "Are you here to say goodbye to me?" asked Mo Qian. "No, I'm here to let you say goodbye to yourself," said Chen Yuanxi. "What should I call you?" asked Mo Qian. "Chen Yuan Xi." "We can't go back. So if you have anything to say, just say it." "I'll give you a chance to tell me the story between uncle Hong Xuan and you. I'm afraid no one will listen to it. I
On the marshland, the foundation had been newly laid. In a short time, there would be many houses standing here. Chen Yuanxi came there and sat down quietly, imagining how Zhang Dong fell under the gun of Hong Xuan that night. Chen Yuanxi could not understand why Hong Xuan was so cruel to Zhang Dong before he died. He thought about it and suddenly thought it through. "Because he shouldn't love me. He loves me, so his life has to pay the price." "If I were a girl, maybe Hong Xuan would have hijacked him to help us." But then he fell into a deeper confusion. "Zhang Dong, why were you so stupid that you would rather die? Why didn't you choose to agree to uncle Hong Xuan? You need to be flexible when it's urgent. There would be a solution in the future! You have learned from me for more than two years, but you're still as upright as Zheng Kai!" Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly and madly. He was lying in the s
When they walked out of the door together, Chen Yuanxi suddenly asked, "Do you think I really love Zhao Yuan?" "Why did you suddenly ask such a question?" Gu Xi said, "You two have experienced so much together. All of us can see that you love each other." "What about Uncle Hong Xuan and my father?" Gu Xi shook his head and said, "He and your father are brothers. They have heroic spirit and don't stick to trifles. But you and Zhao Yuan..." "Uncle Hong Xuan can die for my father, and I can do anything for Zhao Yuan. Isn't he in love with my father?" asked Chen Yuanxi. "Except for love, there are many other emotions among people that can make them live and die together," said Gu Xi. "Then Zhao Yuan and I may not be in love." Chen Yuanxi said thoughtfully. "Wenxi, you are just making excuses for yourself! Did you fall in love with someone else?" asked Gu Xi. "I don't know. Eve
Hong Xuan was walking in a daze in the wild. He thought he might have killed the wrong person this time. The video sent by the liaison suggested that Zhang Dong and Wenxi had kissed each other across the bulletproof glass, which made him furious! What made him angrier was that he heard that Zhang Dong had been wearing rings on both hands all day long, which were sent by Wenxi! "I've warned him not to mislead my son! My only son!" The moon was bright and peaceful, but his eyes were full of bloodshot. He knew that Zhang Dong was a man of righteous ardour and was not afraid of death, but he did not expect that Zhang Dong's words before he died would make him lose his mind for a moment. He knew that prisoners in the prison sometimes had to go out to carry out their tasks to expiate their crimes. Among those people, there must be Zhang Dong. He had videoed his testimony against Mo Qian, as well as some evidence that could be searche
The men's prison in the small town. "How many years will you stay in the prison?" Chen Yuanxi tried to smile at Zhang Dong. "It's not clear yet. I think it will be eight years. That's enough. When I go out, I'm only 40 and only one tenth of my life will have passed. Besides, I'm sure my sentence will be commuted." Zhang Dong smiled easily. Chen Yuanxi was amused. He scolded while wiping tears, "You fool, how long do you want to live!" "I'll stay with you for 360 years before I dare to die," said Zhang Dong. "It wasn't you who took photos of me for Mo Qian, did you?" Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. "If you really don't doubt it, you won't ask me." Zhang Dong kept silent for three seconds and said with a smile, "After more than two years with you, I have been more or less smarter." Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi kept silent. "I knew it later. In order to create a realistic effect,
Chen Yuanxi was going to go back with Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong stood still, and several policemen came. Chen Yuanxi turned around and looked at Zhang Dong with doubts, who was standing among a group of armed police. Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong with a smile. Zhang Dong was tall and powerful. Among these armed police, he was a Triton of the minnows and his temperament as a soldier was no worse than theirs. But why did not he come to Chen Yuanxi? Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Yuanxi, I can't accompany you any longer." Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong in disbelief, who was standing alone by the huge and solemn front door of the prison. It was dusk, and the lights had gone on. Zhang Dong's face was covered with lights of different colors, which covered up his real expression. "Why?" asked Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong said with a smile, "I surrendered myself, so that I won't be sentenced too severely. When I'm judged,
Chen Yuanxi saw Hong Xuan's red and swollen eyes. "I won't interfere in your affairs with Yanyan, but I hope you will at least follow Ziwei's second will and live a good and safe life. As for you, Zhang Dong, if I know you lead Wenxi to the wrong way, no matter what you helped me, I will not let you go!" Chen Yuanxi understood Hong Xuan's meaning and asked him what he wanted to do. "There are still a few thieves who haven't been caught. After catching them, I'll go back where I came from!" Hong Xuan laughed and strode away. Chen Yuanxi rushed forward and hugged Hong Xuan. "Dad... can you not leave... can you stay at somewhere and live... you have the ability to live, don't you?" Chen Yuanxi cried in a sad voice. "I should have died more than eight years ago, Wenxi. Your father and I are sworn friends. We should go through thick and thin together..." Hong Xuan said in a trembling voice.
Two months later, Beijing. The summer has come. Zhang Dong dragged out an air water tank and set up a small swimming pool in the room. Chen Yuanxi was naked and immersed in the water. He remembered that Captain Cao had been telling him from the small town that people of the Mo Family had been caught one after another, but the one who often provided clues was He Fu, the major fugitive who had killed three people several years ago. Captain Cao had asked about the identity of He Fu several times, but Chen Yuanxi said nothing. "It's enough. You're so tired. Come here," said Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong took off his vest and rolled down. They had playing in the water for a while, and did not notice the sound of the door opening. When Hong Xuan came in, Chen Yuanxi was lying on Zhang Dong's body, pouring water on his head, and washing his hair. When they saw Hong Xuan, they immediately stopped, looking like chi
