Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 305 New Year's Eve

I was as dumbfounded as Ms. Qiu, and I didn't understand why Lao Yan didn't let us pursue the butcher's matter?
Whether it was intentional or not, the butcher made a big mistake just now, and it was he who caused Kumbu to be unconscious. We are not planning to kill him, but can't we even ask a question?
Lao Yan said with a sullen face: "Xiaoqiu, I say go."

Miss Qiu took a few breaths, and it took a long while to suppress her anger. She dragged me and chased them in the direction of the boys, and whispered to me as she walked: "There is absolutely something wrong with Lao Yan, Chang'an, you must keep it." In my heart, this task is very important, we can't let Lao Yan ruin it."

"Sister Qiu, don't worry." Although I also had a lot of doubts in my heart, I still patted my chest to let Miss Qiu not worry.

She seemed to trust me a lot, and said that she felt more at ease with my words.

Yazai and the others didn't run far, because Yazai was also paying attention to our situation when he led the 303 people to retreat.After Kumbu lured the black bear away, he heard the black bear running in the opposite direction to them, and even walked back for a while, so I caught up with them after a while.

"Chang'an, what's the situation now?" Yazai asked.

I briefly explained the matter, but kept the butcher's troubles a secret. Since Lao Yan won't let me be held accountable, it's meaningless for me to speak out, so as to save everyone from being unhappy.But Yazai obviously guessed something, saying that according to our tacit understanding, how could we let Kumbu lead the black bear away by himself?

"It's just such a coincidence, it's alright, boy, how are you doing here?" Lao Yan interrupted Yazai's words.

Yazai is heartless, and after Lao Yan made such a conclusion, he couldn't say anything, he just touched his head and said: "What can I have here, it's going well, but the snow is getting bigger and bigger Now, I really can’t hurry.”

"Yeah, the snow is so big!" Lao Yan raised his head to look at the dark and steep sky, but he didn't know what he saw. Let's make do with one night.

Because of the heavy snow, Yazai and I struggled for a long time before setting up the tent and lighting a fire. The people in 303 didn't know if they were afraid of trouble or what, but they had the cheek to share the same fire with us. Naturally, we didn't say anything, and warmed our hands around the fire.

"It's getting colder and colder." Lao Yan sighed.

Yazai let out a hey: "Who said it's not, is it the [-]th year today?"

"What memory do you have, after twelve o'clock it will be the second day of the Lunar New Year." Lao Yan replied, quite helplessly.

Yazai said unconvinced: "Who made such a fool, I don't care, I will pass today's thirties."

I was surprised to find that so many things had happened, and it had only been three days since we entered the mountain...

But I don’t feel much about New Year’s Eve. Although my father loved me when I was young, an old man was not careful. The most he could do was to buy more food and a new set of clothes. Wait until I know how his income comes from. After that, I don't want to use his money anymore, because I feel sorry for him.It's interesting to wait until the army's New Year's Eve. Those who are close to each other are specially allowed by Company Commander Chen to go home for the New Year. Those who are far away or those who have no home like me stay in the army. Apart from standing guard, a group of us elders will gather together Singing and dancing together, and being able to drink two sips of wine that is usually not allowed to be touched, is extraordinarily interesting.

Now that Yazai mentioned it, I don't have any emotions, but the people in 303 are obviously different.

Liu Hanqiu cursed at first: "What a damn task has to be these few days, I haven't spent the New Year at home peacefully for several years."

These words showed that he was still a little popular, so we didn't ridicule him. It was rare that Miss Qiu agreed: "Yes, there should be thousands of lights outside now."

Her words had a strong sense of the scene, and I immediately thought of when my father was still there, and the whole village was brightly lit on New Year's Eve.Even though our village is poor and has no electric lights, we still light candles and oil lamps, and just burn them all night, watching the new year in front of the stove.

"Hey, don't tell me, isn't it interesting to be around the fire now?" Old Yan was quite generous, but it was also because he was an old bachelor and had been in the department for the longest time.It can be said that as long as there are people from the department, it is the same for him to celebrate the New Year wherever he is.

Probably because of the Chinese New Year, the undercurrent between the two departments has stagnated a bit, and it is rare to sit in front of the fire and gossip about family affairs.Except for the blood feud between Liu Hanqiu and Lao Yan, everyone else is enjoying themselves, especially Yazai and Kuaidao, who are about the same age and pure in heart, yet they are still studying together. Make a few noises, it's all like a firecracker.

Miss Qiu laughed: "It's not easy, I have a lot here."

"Xiao Qiu, take it back!" Lao Yan shouted suddenly, afraid that Miss Qiu would throw the small bomb in her hand.

Miss Qiu curled her lips and said that Lao Yan was boring, but obediently stuffed the bomb she had already touched back into her bag, and then spread her hands helplessly: "No way, Lao Yan is too pedantic, I'm afraid you will listen to it this year." No sound."

"Sister Qiu, don't you know how to study weapons? Let's have a firecracker." Yazai didn't know if he was excited, his face was flushed, and his thick glasses couldn't cover his eyes.

Miss Qiu was so troubled by him that she had no choice but to say that if Lao Yan agreed, she would do it.

Without further ado, Yazai started to go to Moji Laoyan again. In this way, when the second day of the Lunar New Year came, we heard the first sound of firecrackers this year, even among a group of people who might be at odds with each other, but It is also impressive enough!

But we were moved only for a while, and when Yazai dragged a huge snowball and hit me, my face turned black.

"Baby!" I roared angrily, if it wasn't for the injury on my waist, which was torn open just now, I would have pressed Yazai on the ground and beat him hard, and asked him if his brain was broken.There are still so many roads to go, what if my clothes get wet?
Fortunately, his behavior was quickly stopped by Lao Yan: "Go to sleep, we don't know what's waiting for us tomorrow."

His words made the atmosphere dignified again, Yazai lost his mind to play, and complained that Lao Yan had no feelings at all, and at this time, everyone's interest was spoiled.

Lao Yan didn't pay attention to him at all: "If you want to wear a pair of panda eyes tomorrow, and when you encounter things that can't run, you can continue to play with me."

Yazai was choked and fell silent, and after a while, he murmured while pulling his sleeping bag: "Oh, it's really boring."

Lao Yan took his words as a deaf ear, wrapped himself in a sleeping bag, fell asleep by the fire, and used his actions to tell Yazai what it meant to be completely ignored.

"Chang'an, you should rest for a while, I'll watch the night." Miss Qiu was wearing a military overcoat, sitting by the fire, with her hands on the fire and roasting.

I shook my head: "I'm fine."

She didn't insist either, she just said that if I was really fine, she would wait for a while and change me later.

I saw that it was late at night, and everyone could still sleep for a while, so I agreed.

So I shrank my whole body into the sleeping bag, not even letting go of my head, leaving only one nose to breathe outside.

In fact, I couldn't sleep at all, too many things weighed on my mind, so I just squinted a little.About half an hour later, I replaced Miss Qiu. Seeing that I couldn't sleep, she sighed helplessly: "Chang'an, don't worry too much, it's nothing serious."

"Well, I know." I smiled.

Miss Qiu didn't say anything else, she was really sleepy, she shrank into her sleeping bag and fell asleep.

I didn't sit up on purpose, just lay there staring at the fire, my mind was a mess, I tried to sort out a clue from this mess, but I couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, don't want to." I was a little frustrated.
