Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 624
Lao Yan patted me on the shoulder: "It's good that you realize it, don't waste my time asking Minister Hou to release her."

"What?" I said in shock, my voice a little uncontrollable.Hou Chengcheng, who had a good chat earlier, turned her head and gave me a dissatisfied look, and then told me not to worry like a big sister, and I can rest when I get to the place soon.

I immediately replied impatiently: "Sister, I have been walking for several hours, can I stay at the hotel first?"

Hou Chengcheng was a little helpless, turned around and said to the uncle: "Uncle, look, my younger brother is really tired, why don't you take us to your hotel first?"

The uncle glanced at me and made a teasing laugh: "Why is such a big boy still crying after walking two steps?"

I touched my head in embarrassment, and the uncle laughed loudly: "Let's go, my house is in front of me."

Hou Chengcheng continued the topic just now while walking.

The uncle slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory, I just forgot, little girl, didn't you buy newspapers when you came here?"

"What's wrong?" Hou Chengcheng's puzzled tone was very real.

The uncle sighed regretfully: "Lishan, what a wonderful place, just burned like this..."

"Burn?" It wasn't just Hou Chengcheng who was shocked this time, Lao Yan cooperated very well, took a step forward, shook the uncle's hand in shock, and asked him why it burned and how did it go?

The uncle looked puzzled, and Hou Chengcheng was a little embarrassed, saying that my father just likes Lishan, and this time he mainly came with him, so...

The uncle looked at Lao Yan with some sympathy, and said that he didn't know the extent of the burn, but he just heard that because of the burn, he couldn't go in now.

"For your trip, why don't you go and see other places, mountains, where is there nothing to see?" the uncle comforted.

Lao Yan shook his head in disappointment, muttered and didn't say much, but he didn't look as energetic as before.

All of them didn't rehearse beforehand, how could their acting skills be so superb?

"Here we are." The uncle lost the desire to continue the conversation, and pointed to a two-story green brick corridor in front of us on the left.

He proudly said that the blue bricks used to build my house are at least hundreds of years old. Look, don’t they look very beautiful?
This is true. The blue bricks are a little gray, and the gray and blue look looks like an ancient dwelling. Unfortunately, this is the north, and there is no river. If there is a river next to it, it will be a tourist attraction.

"It's the off-season recently, and there's not much travelling. My three houses are still empty. Do you think there's enough room for you people?" the uncle said while leading us inside.

Hou Chengcheng glanced back and said enough, it happened that the two of them were in one room, and it wasn't too crowded.

The uncle gave us the key and took us up to the second floor. Two of the three rooms are next to each other on the left side of the stairs, and one is alone on the right side.

"My sister and I live in this separate room." Hou Chengcheng ran over with the key in hand.

Miss Qiu dotingly smiled and scolded the little girl, why is she in a hurry, while embarrassingly telling the uncle that we are going to rest.

The uncle understood instantly, and said that there was hot water in the room, and if it was not enough, he would take the kettle down to make it, and then he ordered some other things and went downstairs.

Yazai dragged me into the room closest to the stairs, and Lao Yan and Professor Xu lived in the remaining room.

Lao Yan was about to enter the room, I grabbed him and said, "Go into our room!"

I originally wanted to call him, but I was used to calling Laoyan, and calling my father was not easy at all, so I simply omitted the name.

When Lao Yan came in, Professor Xu naturally didn't want to be alone, so the four of us crowded into the room next to the stairs.

As soon as I entered the room, I went to the window and looked out. The window was facing the street of the town. The uncle who had just brought us in was sitting at the door. He didn’t seem to feel the heat in such a hot weather. Dozing like this.

I turned around from the window, Yazai also opened the door of the room, so that if someone eavesdrops, we can also find out.

"Old Yan, what did you mean just now, that you asked Minister Hou to release Hou Chengcheng?" I lowered my voice.

I thought it was Minister Hou who brought it up on his own initiative in order to let Hou Chengcheng enter 701. He himself was born in 701. Now there is only such a precious daughter. If he wants to train her, he will naturally send her to the most familiar place to feel at ease.

Lao Yan glared at me, and asked me if I still don’t understand?

I actually understand it, but it's a little hard to accept - he's asking Hou Chengcheng to take me.

I couldn't tell what mood I was in, but I just felt that his behavior seemed to negate my strength, otherwise there would be no need for Hou Chengcheng to come over.

But I have to admit that he was right to let Hou Chengcheng come over. This is just on the way, and I have already learned a lot from Hou Chengcheng.

I'm about the same age as Hou Chengcheng, but she is so experienced in doing things, she really arranges everything quietly, so we don't have to worry about it at all.

Lao Yan sighed: "I have taught you everything I can teach you. Don't feel hurt. Hou Chengcheng has something that many of us lack. She is born with the ability to inquire about news quietly just now. She will be able to speak when she can speak, but we have to go through training, so I let her lead the team, you can realize as much as you can."

I was silent for a while before answering, and then I thought of something.

"You said she could speak just now?" I widened my eyes.

Lao Yan nodded his head, he didn't understand why my reaction was so big.

I had a headache and said, "Then is it true that she has no experience in this area?"

If it's natural for her to be so sophisticated, am I wrong to think she's experienced?

Lao Yan laughed, and said how is it possible, 701 will never use inexperienced people unless it is a last resort, after all, the mission failure rate and death rate will increase linearly.

I know what he means, indeed, we almost all died during the trip to the Ancient Night Kingdom...

"Don't ask, I can't say too much. This is something that Minister Hou wants to hide. The fewer people who know, the better." He quickly made a stop gesture to me.

I had no choice but to stop asking, but my heart was beating again.

"Are you finished?" Yazai asked.

I nodded and said yes, as soon as he heard that, he immediately urged Lao Yan and Professor Xu to go back to his room, saying that he wanted to rest.

Lao Yan joked: "Why, are you in a hurry to meet the beauty in your dream?"

"Old Yan!" Yazai pretended to be angry.

Lao Yan laughed loudly and followed Professor Xu out the door. The boy slammed the door shut in anger and muttered that he was disrespectful.

I couldn't help laughing, and said, look at your anxious look, it's no wonder you were ridiculed, okay, why are you driving them away in such a hurry?
Yazai smiled embarrassedly, then pulled me to sit on the chair next to her, and asked me how I feel about Hou Chengcheng like a little wife?
"Yo, I'm afraid you'll hit me if you tell me." I teased him with a smile.

Unexpectedly, his eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

"Hahaha, boy, look at you, are you still impatient?" I laughed so hard that I almost fell off the chair.

Yazai pushed me and said angrily that he was asking me seriously and told me not to joke.

When I saw his attitude, I stopped joking and asked him if he had a crush on Hou Chengcheng?
"Don't you think she's cute?" Yazai was a little embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, I still couldn't help teasing him, saying that I don't dare to think that he is cute, and someone's jealousy will be overturned by then.

Yazai rushed over and grabbed my neck: "Just kidding, kidding again!"

"Okay, okay, seriously." I begged for mercy.

Only then did he let me go, sat on the chair and said that he didn't know why, but he was unconsciously attracted to Hou Chengcheng. Although he had only known each other for two days, he couldn't help it.

I understand his feelings so well, don't I feel the same about the fourth girl?
When the fourth girl appeared in front of us in women's clothing, I realized that I had already fallen into it, so this time I didn't make fun of Yazai, but just asked him if he was serious. It's much better to like and not see than I like the fourth girl.

Not to mention Hou Chengcheng himself, feelings, there will always be some training, and besides, the boy is not bad, the two of them standing together really look like a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but Hou Chengcheng's identity is not simple.

Minister Hou is our immediate boss. Judging by his current appearance, he may be paving the way for Hou Chengcheng. Coming to 701 is just an experience.

So Minister Hou probably won't let Hou Chengcheng have emotional fetters in 701, right?

After all, once you become the immediate boss, the relationship with 701 must be separated, otherwise it is inevitable that other departments will feel unfair.

Yazai sighed: "I don't want to do this, I just want to know, if I want to be with her, what should I do?"

I thought for a while before expressing my thoughts carefully.

After all, I haven't really been with anyone, so I really don't know how to attract someone, but I know that the first thing is to treat that person well, so that she can rest assured and give everything to me.

Second, don't go overboard.

The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. If you behave too much when you are not together, the possibility of being able to do it in the future is actually very small, and it will inevitably make the other party feel that you will not cherish it if you get it.

I slowly analyzed it to Yazai, and then concluded: "You are not bad, so you just need to show your best side."

Yazai looked at me questioningly, with a look of disbelief.

I scratched my head and said that I have no experience, which is not necessarily reliable, but you are the only one who can ask, right?
"Ah!" Yazai slumped on the chair, scratching his hair irritably.

I said hey, telling him not to worry, I don't necessarily have a good impression of Hou Chengcheng because of his appearance, otherwise why make such a joke?
The boy's eyes lit up and asked me if it was true?

I don't know what to say, I can only say vaguely.

"Forget it, let's rest first." Yazai was silent for a while, and said in a self-defeating manner.

Then he twisted the towel with hot water, wiped his face casually, and then collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

I looked at him funny, then washed my face and lay down on another bed to sleep.
