Mountains and seas close at hand

Lancinate froze for a moment, narrowed her long and narrow eyes, showing a hint of anger.

Zhou Rao put the milk cup bottle down as soon as he saw it, and obediently picked up the teacup, sipping the milk tea, as if to avoid Lancinate's accusation, but in fact, he had mixed feelings in his heart: all the past will not come back again, What has come is no longer what has gone.

Lancinate took a sip of milk tea and swallowed it little by little: "Mentor, do you have any new instructions?"

Zhou Rao put the bone china cup back on the table, took off the napkin around his neck and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth, Sri said slowly: "You are just out of danger, what you need to do now is to heal your wounds. Let me help you arrange it. How about Saint-Tropez? Blue sea, blue sky, and chocolate marzipan.”①

Lancinate said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go back to Cornwall."②

Zhou Rao looked at her noncommittally, the innocent brows and eyes of a little prince finally showed a trace of dignity that did not match the appearance.

Last time, he used Song Banyan and Lily grass as bait to contain Xu Fu.I thought that Xu Fu would definitely send a large number of troops because of the importance he attached to Song Banyan and Xi Licao.Unexpectedly, Old Jiang Mila and Xu Fu not only got a glimpse of their plan, but also arranged a grand banquet along the way.

Thanks to Zhou Rao's vigilance, when the soldiers approached the city, they refused to send out, and did not implement the original plan decisively.He took his men and horses for a tour outside Xu Fu's lair, and came back safe and sound.

However, the solo Lancinate was not so lucky.She was in charge of inquiring into Xu Fu's secret residence in Shanghai. Unfortunately, when she entered, she met Xu Laoqi, one of the three thousand boys.Xu Laoqi is one of Xu Fu's many adopted sons. He has a rough and greasy appearance, but he is impeccable and his methods are even more vicious.If it weren't for Lancinate's amazing skills, and Zhou Rao remotely cut off the backup power supply of the building at a critical moment, she might have been buried in that reinforced concrete city.

Seeing that Zhou Rao remained silent, Lancinate's bony cheeks tensed, and his expression gradually returned to his usual stern expression: "I have an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this mission, and I should go back and ask my mentor for my sins."

Zhou Rao looked at the napkin in his hand, folded it bit by bit, and said calmly: "I said it from the very beginning, this plan is very reckless."

Lancinate closed her eyes when she heard this, hiding the disappointment and displeasure in her eyes, but in front of her companions, she never and did not know how to cover up perfectly.So much so that Zhou Rao could clearly hear the meaning of her words without having to think about it.

"...you have been very disapproving of this plan."

Zhou Rao looked at her and explained frankly: "Well, I have always disagreed with this plan, but it does not mean that I am dissatisfied with my mentor. Of course I know why he took the risk, and I can understand his feelings. But we Having fought against Xu Fu for so many years, I should be very clear that neither side can annihilate each other in one fell swoop."

"Yes, I know, but you understand that now is different from before. Xu Fu and his three thousand boys..." Lancinate paused, and said annoyedly, "Mr. Zhou also said that they even started working in business suppress us.

Zhou Rao replied calmly: "You should know that this just means they are powerful enough."

Lancinate stared at him with stern eyes, and said seriously: "You should also know that the tutor needs a lot of money to maintain the operation of the Republic."

Zhou Rao smiled slightly, and said mischievously: "Honey, we were just discussing the last plan. I think you stretched too much. Think about it, I still think Saint-Tropez is suitable for you."

Lancinate's scrutinizing eyes slid across Zhou Rao's body, and finally landed on the opposite wall. She stared at the screen for a long time, and vaguely said a word: "Okay."

On the projection screen, white dots that seemed to exist and disappeared flashed past.It's hard to see because it's too blurry.Until the footprints on the ground are gradually covered by snow——

Snowing.

Snowflakes fluttered and fell on the tip of the nose, and the ice water melted and pierced the wound. Song Banyan couldn't help frowning.

Bai Xunhua's heart was moved, he turned his head to look at her, and finally couldn't help but said softly: "Go to the hospital for a bandage first."

Song Banyan clasped her hand tightly, pulled it to her lips and kissed it: "It's okay, let's book the hotel first."

Bai Xunhua pulled out his hand a little stiffly, and walked forward first.

Because it is winter, the surrounding scenic spots have been snowed and closed.There are too few tourists in the off-season, and the hotels in the small town are closed all over the place, and most of the hotels that are still open are privately run inns.Song Banyan and Bai Xunhua are not picky people, so they directly chose the one close to the hospital.The room is fairly clean, and the boss is very polite.

"You just came out of the mountains, right? Two white mushrooms made this look." The boss put the change on the counter and walked out by himself, "Go take a shower first, and I'll get you another one." Set of bath towels."

Bai Xunhua turned his head and glanced at Song Banyan, his heart softened again, and he nodded slightly at the boss: "Then I will trouble you."

The boss waved his hand: "What's the trouble, let's go, I'll take you there."

The room is on the second floor, and it is a view room with an excellent location.There are small round tables and rattan chairs on the balcony, where you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The two bought a temporary change of clothes on the way, and Bai Xunhua picked them out to pass to Song Banyan, and instructed, "When taking a bath, be careful to avoid the wound."

Song Banyan put the towel beside the bed, took the change of clothes silently and walked into the bathroom.When passing the sink, she paused and looked sideways at herself in the mirror.

In the mirror is a guy with a downcast face.

His bruised nose and swollen face were dirty, even though he was bloodless from the cold, they were covered up by the traces of smoke and fire.The broken hair on the head was randomly tied into a ponytail.The tattered down jacket had holes in several places and the duck down was blowing out.

After staring at each other in a daze for a minute, Song Banyan lowered his eyes.

She raised her hand weakly, and pulled the down jacket desperately, trying to take it off.The down jacket seemed to be against her, biting her hard.The more they tore, the more they couldn't break free, Song Banyan finally became so irritable and went crazy, he simply sat down on the toilet seat, and he was in a daze of decadence.

Bai Xunhua packed his things and sat on the chair for a while.Suddenly woke up from contemplation and realized that something was wrong - the bathroom was quiet.

She walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked on the door: "Half smoke?"

"Yeah." Song Banyan came back to his senses in shock, realized that he had been in the bathroom for too long, and quickly began to undress, while making excuses, "My stomach is uncomfortable, um, I'll be fine in a while."

She took off the down jacket and didn't know where to throw it for a moment. She was balling up in her hands and was about to stuff it into the trash can when she suddenly froze.

Song Banyan bit her lower lip, slowly unfolded the down jacket like walking on thin ice, and carefully touched the inside pocket.The sheepskin scroll obtained in the thigh bone of the mandala mandala is safely hidden inside.

Song Banyan glanced sideways at the door.

Through the wooden door, she couldn't see anything clearly outside, but the ecstasy in her heart gradually faded, and she disappeared like a fish in the sea in an instant.

There are too many choices in this world.

Is it necessary to choose wrong again and again?

Song Banyan didn't know, she didn't know right or wrong, let alone how to choose this time.Through the thin polyester fabric, gently rubbing her fingertips, the thickness of the sheepskin roll, the soft touch, and the faint warmth emanating, all tempted her.

Bai Xunhua raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and waited another 37 minutes before Song Banyan came out of the bathroom.She was wearing pajamas, with a towel wrapped around her head, sitting directly beside the bed, and said in a vague tone, "Go."

Song Banyan's state was very strange.

Bai Xunhua knew this very well in her heart, but she didn't know if she should comfort her.No matter how you justify it, this night spy operation more or less originated from Song Banyan's instigation.

That night she said at the dinner table—"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I hope everyone's acting skills are online today, and that lama didn't find anything." I'm about to roll Uncle Mo's box and escape.

If it wasn't because of this sentence, Ji Bao might not have been eager to go that night.

Unprepared, he rashly explored the secret lair at night, causing Ji Bao's life to be in danger, and all three of them were slightly or seriously injured.Song Banyan had an inescapable responsibility for this matter, and Bai Xunhua couldn't easily forgive her.

What's more, Song Banyan had promised not to be involved in the danger several times to stop him openly and secretly, but in the end he still brazenly took risks behind his back.Whenever Bai Xunhua thought of these things, he felt depressed and depressed.She didn't know what she meant to Song Banyan, was she a lifelong partner?Or a temporary stop?

If you care, why don't you want to give up some ethereal things for yourself?

Is the "past" really that important?

Isn't the "future" more worth looking forward to and working hard for?

Bai Xunhua couldn't ask these words.Asked, is to force Banyan to choose, to force her to give up.

Bai Xunhua was a little scared in his heart, even knowing how important he was to Song Banyan, even knowing that she would choose him in the end.However, it is still scary.

If you care too much, you will inevitably be sensitive, humble, and worry about gains and losses.

Song Banyan clasped her fingers on her knees, feeling a little nervous, not knowing what Bai Xunhua wanted to say to herself in the long silence.

The soft-soled slippers rubbed against the floor, making a slight sound.After all, Bai Xunhua didn't say anything, and walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

Song Banyan let out a long sigh of relief, and collapsed on the bed.For her, being able to delay for a moment is a moment.Some issues, no matter if they are discussed or debated, or even if one party backs down, those issues will not be resolved.

She lay down for a while, her consciousness began to blur uncontrollably.

Probably, too sleepy.

Song Banyan was thinking in a daze, knowing in his heart that it wasn't just because of being too sleepy, it seemed that some force was pulling him into a deep sleep.She shook her head and struggled to open her eyes.

The bloodshot pupils were already blood red at this moment.

The author has something to say: ①Saint-Tropez: □□, a holy place for vacation.France, between Marseille and Cannes.

②Cornwall: A county at the southwestern tip of England, where King Arthur is said to have been born.
