survival in the wilderness

At the beginning of the dinner table, the atmosphere was normal and lively. However, after the strong drink was drunk, it turned into a different picture.

Lin Yan was drunk, holding Lan Yue's hand and crying loudly.

"I really regret that I didn't see my mother for the last time. She must have a lot to say to me. I didn't know anything, so I lost the person who loved me most in the world."

Lan Yue and Bai Chen looked at each other and hurriedly put up a protective cover for Lin Yan to let her vent to her heart's content.

Lan Yue accompanied Lin Yan throughout the whole process of Hua Hong's death. She was too calm at that time, and it was all stored up in her heart, but today it finally broke out.

Bai Chen whispered: "It's not easy for Lin Yan either. She has no family, no relatives, and is alone. It's very pitiful to think about it."

Lan Yue: "She has us."

Bai Chen shook his head, "That's different. Family love cannot be replaced by us. We can fight side by side with her and create a great age together, but we can never replace the sense of belonging and dependence given to her by her blood relatives. She seems to have a lot, In fact, she has nothing. She has lost her favorite family member, and there is no longer a light that shines for her alone in the lights of thousands of families."

The Lin Yan she knew valued her family very much.Although she doesn't stay at home often, as long as Hua Hong is there, that's what she values ​​the most and it's irreplaceable.

Lan Yue looked at Bai Chen in surprise, not expecting her thoughts to be so delicate.

"What is lost cannot be regained. She has to go through this on her own, and none of us can help."

"Yes, she still has to come out on her own."

The two stopped talking and looked towards the unknown, letting Lin Yan vent his tears.

Others don't seem to be able to see this, so they are doing whatever they need to do.

In fact, with their sharp ears and eyes, how could they not know, they were just pretending as if nothing had happened.

The smile on Qi Hui's face faded at that moment, forcing herself not to look at the teacher.But the shock in my heart is always there, and I am determined to be better to the teacher in the future.They are each other's family, forever.

Lin Yan lost control completely, and it took him half an hour to calm down.At this time, the party has come to an end.

Qi Hui sat next to her, "Teacher, some of the adults have left early. Minister Lanyue and I will stay here to wait for you."

Lin Yan acted as if nothing happened, "Everyone's gone, okay, let's go home."

When Lan Yue came over, Lin Yan had already stood up and packed up to leave.She said: "How do you feel? I'll take you back."

"No, Yun Ying and the others are here." Lin Yan waved his hand and refused, "Did you just go out to see them off?"

Lan Yue nodded, "Don't worry, they all left safely. I'll go back with you."

Although Lin Yan seemed to be back to normal, her out-of-control mood just now left an unusual impression on Lan Yue.

It happened to be late at night, so the two of them walked together without being watched.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and then said to Qi Hui, "You and Yun Ying and the others go home first. I'll go back later."

Qi Hui opened her mouth to persuade, but then closed her mouth.The teacher probably wanted to be alone at the moment, so she didn't want to disturb him.So he said obediently: "Okay, I'll ask Captain Yunying to send someone to send me off."

"Let Yun Ying go back with you." Lin Yan didn't want Yun Ying and the others to follow, so he personally gave Yun Ying the order.

Lan Yue also sent her guards away, leaving only the two of them.

In the deep silent night, everything is still.

The two of them wandered slowly along the street, always silent and not saying a word.

In the end, Lan Yue couldn't hold back and said: "It feels uncomfortable to hold it in. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

They have been together all the way until today. They understand each other and have experienced a lot. They are people who can trust everything.

Lin Yan sighed, "Did I scare you today?" "You're just drunk."

"Well, being drunk is indeed the best excuse. To be honest, I never thought about getting drunk, but I couldn't help myself after drinking a few glasses of wine. At that moment, the grief in my heart could no longer be suppressed, so I let myself go. Although The catharsis was over, but I lost face. My image was ruined."

"You're overthinking. That's just what you think."

"Hmph, I don't believe it. They will definitely make fun of me about this in the future. It's rare to be embarrassed. It has a dark history and is not remembered by others. If it were me, I would definitely not let it go."

Lan Yue pursed her lips and said, "Don't change the subject. What you said is impossible to happen. Everyone is joking with each other, but they know how to behave and will not rub salt on each other's scars."

"Okay, I'll tell you." Lin Yan knew Lan Yue well and would follow her quietly until he got what he wanted.

"Actually, I can't accept my grandma's sudden death. I always think of the days when she was still alive. But every time I return to my empty home, reality reminds me again and again that my grandma is really gone. I I feel very remorseful, regretful, and regretful that I didn’t spend more time with her and didn’t see her for the last time.”

"I also know that it's not good to suppress it for a long time, but I thought I could control myself. Today's drunken catharsis was indeed an accident. Lan Yue, don't worry about me. After crying, I feel much better."

Lan Yue didn't ask any more questions. This kind of pain can only be healed by time.

Time has come to a new year.

As soon as the weather warmed up and the waterway became clear, Mao Mu set off for Haizhou.He keeps a low profile and not many people know about him.

Bai Chen and Feng Wenwen went to Yongzhou hand in hand, preparing to go from Yonggu Pass to Dongli Dynasty.

After seeing them off, Lin Yan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the alliance's road construction project.

Huang Ying went to Anzhou and Yongzhou to recruit people.

Everyone is busy. Xitian Road needs to be repaired before cement can be used to harden the road surface.

The preparation of manpower and materials before the start of construction took nearly a month to be delivered.

On February 32, [-]nd year of the Solar Era, construction officially started.

Lin Yan and a group of people from the Arbitration Court attended the groundbreaking ceremony in person. The road construction project affected tens of millions of people in the alliance, and thousands of people came to the groundbreaking site.

After Lin Yan delivered a speech, he started digging the soil himself and announced that the renovation of Xitian Road had officially started.

The entire Xitian Road is divided into six sections, and construction started at the same time. It is expected that it will take five months to complete the clearing and widening of the road surface.

The next step is for the cement to harden, which should be done half and half, so as not to affect normal traffic.

Lin Yun was entrusted with the important task of being the person in charge of the entire project.He was already busy before work started, and he would only get busier in the future.

Half a month after the official start of construction, progress was rapid, but Shui Sheng and Hong Ling were frowning.

The investment was much larger than expected, and the financial pressure was huge.

Before construction started, he solicited sponsorship from large merchants and raised part of the start-up capital.

Looking at the daily statistical results, I just feel extremely overwhelmed.

Shui Sheng: "We have invested 30 yuan in labor alone, including food and accommodation, as well as wages. On average, each person earns 6 cents a day, which is still the lowest estimate. Calculating, it works out to 8000 yuan a day. This is when other resources are sufficient. How can you get so much money under such circumstances?"

As the Minister of Public Resources, Hong Ling is responsible for allocating supplies and knows the situation very well.

"Yes, we can't afford it. The finances are already in short supply. It's hard to get started by moving here and there. It will only be more difficult later."

After a few days of worrying, the two received great news.
