The Heart of a Smith

He has performed special missions and is a senior military officer. After thinking about it, he can only be Lu Shang's father. So this military badge is still a relic left by the elders, but it was just given to him so casually, to a man who has nothing to do with him. People who are related by blood, Li Sui thinks it is unreasonable no matter how he thinks about it, but he can't figure it out for a while.

"Li Sui, assemble!"

"Here we come." Li Sui put the military badge carefully into his collar, the cold texture pressed against his skin, and the complicated thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down.

After going out this time, Li Sui thought, after going out this time, he must ask Lu Shang to clarify.

"A team of two, each with a bag, which contains food, water, tent, lighter, map, emergency medicine, flashlight and signal smoke," the instructor said, "In addition to these, each of you can also choose the same self-defense weapon. "

"Tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, find the marked treasure chest, take out the contents, and return here, it will be considered a pass."

"Remember, don't step over the protective net. If you encounter a situation that you can't handle, you must remember to light the signal smoke. Someone will come to meet you within 10 minutes."

In order to avoid accidentally injuring people, most of the prepared weapons were cold weapons with low lethality. Li Sui picked out a dagger and put it in his bag, but Sima Jingrong thought it was too heavy, so he didn't take anything.

The two walked for a while, and met Wang Wei halfway. It turned out that he had known that he was not allowed to bring personal belongings on this mission, so he packed his backpack and left it here, waiting for him to come and pick it up.

"It's almost enough. I think the instructor is well prepared." Li Sui said.

"No, you must bring it. The food and water in your backpack are only enough for a day. If you don't want to go hungry, bring it with you. Boss Lu said that it doesn't matter if you can't complete the task, and you must be fine."

When Li Sui heard that it was Lu Shang's confession, he immediately compromised: "Then I'll put the things into one bag."

Sima Jingrong listened to their conversation dumbfounded, but didn't realize it for a moment: "What are you talking about, Boss Lu?"

Li Sui ignored him, lowered his head and took out a gun from his bag, startled: "Why do you still have this?"

Wang Wei touched his hair a little embarrassedly: "I'm used to it. I always feel insecure when I go out without a gun, so I prepared one for you."

Sima Jingrong was shocked, and said tremblingly, "Re-real gun?"

"Of course not. This is an air gun. It is mainly used against animals. Hey, don't point it at people, be careful of accidental injury."

"You, you mean, these days, when you are with us every day, you wear this thing on your body?"

Wang Wei chuckled.

Sima Jingrong thumped his chest hard, with an overly frightened expression on his face.

"Thank you." Li Sui put away his things and nodded to him.

Wang Wei looked at him, as if he had something to say, but since Sima Jingrong was present, he probably felt that what he said was too bullying, so he just waved his hand, turned around and disappeared in the woods.

"Let's go too."

"Wait a minute, tell me clearly what's going on with Wang Wei, and why did that sadist in your family give you a gun?"

Li Sui strode forward: "Lu Shang is not a sadist, my injuries have nothing to do with him, he treats me very well, that's why he arranged for Wang Wei to follow me, I mean, do you understand? ?”

Sima Jingrong fell silent, and after a while, he leaned forward to pick up his backpack.

"What are you looking for?"

"He's so well prepared, I'll look for dog food."

"..."

The first morning was not very rewarding, the crowd did not disperse, and several groups of students were encountered along the way. Sima Jingrong found a treasure chest in a bird's nest, but unfortunately it was opened, indicating that the vicinity had already been searched. You have to go deeper.

At noon, the two rested by the stream for a while, ate some compressed biscuits, and filled the water bottle.The results of a month's training were reflected at this time. After walking the mountain road all morning, they didn't feel too tired except that they felt stuffy.Looking around while looking at the scenery, if the road under my feet was not getting more and more difficult, and the woods on both sides were getting more and more lush, I would have thought that I was out for a hike.

"After searching for a long time, I didn't even see a shadow. Where did they put this treasure chest?"

Li Sui has been paying attention to the movements around him, and said after hearing the words: "No one has come to look for this area yet. If you search carefully, it should be nearby."

"How do you know no one came looking for it?"

"Footprints," Li Sui pointed to his feet, "I didn't find any human footprints."

"Makes sense."

Sima Jingrong held the binoculars in one hand, and fiddled with the branches with the other, but unfortunately found nothing but dead branches and leaves.After looking for it for a while, he lost his patience, hummed a song and began to work hard.

"The wind is blowing." Li Sui stopped in the forest.

"It seems to be raining, find a place to hide."

There are frequent rainstorms in summer, and they usually come and go quickly. Sima Jingrong found a luxuriant tree and was about to build a tarp. Li Sui looked up at the lightning flowing in the depths of the dark clouds, and said complicatedly: "You This will become a target of thunder, so we have to find a cave."

I happened to see one on the way before coming here, and the two of them turned back in a hurry, and just hid in, there was a flash of lightning outside, and heavy rain poured down, and in an instant, the whole forest was full of the sound of the rain hitting the leaves, like countless gongs and drums It sounds like they are playing at the same time, very harsh.

At this time, the sky was not yet dark, but the forest gradually darkened, and with the washing of the rain, a layer of white mist appeared around.

Li Sui picked up some dry firewood in the cave, and lit a fire with a lighter.

"There's too little firewood, we can't burn it until night," Li Sui said, keeping the fire to a size just for lighting, "When the rain is less, let's go pick up some dry firewood, and spend the night here."

I don't know the depth of this cave, and it's dark at first glance, as if something will come out at any moment.Sima Jingrong's face was ashen. He was extremely unwilling to spend the night here. Compared with facing the unknown darkness, he would rather go to the tree to be with the spiders.However, it was raining too much outside, and he couldn't think of a better way. He stared at the cave for a while, but couldn't see why, so he had to talk to Li Sui to divert his attention.

"Hey, tell me about it."

Li Sui took out the canned meat that Wang Wei gave him, tore off the package, added some water and boiled it on the fire: "What are you talking about?"

Sima Jingrong winked at him: "You and Lu Shang."

Li Sui glanced at him: "Don't you know everything there is to say?"

If Li Sui had also attended school and been in contact with domestic student groups, he would have known that the expression on Sima Jingrong's face mixed with secrecy, embarrassment, and excitement was common in late-night discussions in boys' dormitories. You can refer to "How far have you and your girlfriend developed".

"Tsk, why are you so boring?" Sima Jingrong approached and asked mysteriously, "Have you... ever had sex? Men and men, how did you do it?"

Li Sui was taken aback, and for some reason, the scene of Lu Shang's bare upper body when changing clothes flashed through his mind, his face froze uncomfortably for two seconds, and he frowned and said, "The canned food is ready, do you want to eat it or not?"

"Eat, eat, don't fall!"

After walking for a day, both of them were hungry. The can of beef was eaten clean, and there was not even soup left.Sima Jingrong started to feel drowsy after eating, but facing the dark cave, he was a little afraid to sleep, for fear that something would crawl out of it and eat him when he fell asleep.

"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Li Sui took out a dagger and a gun, and put them into his leggings.

"That's so embarrassing," Sima Jingrong scratched his head and said, "I can't take it anymore, sleep for a while, and replace me in the middle of the night."

That's what he said, but when he lay down, he felt that he couldn't sleep. After all, it was not a camp bed, and the floor was uneven, so no matter how he slept, he felt panicked.

"You said, have the other teams completed their tasks?"

Li Sui added some firewood to the fire: "Probably not."

"why?"

Li Sui didn't answer, just looked up at the still heavy rain outside the cave, wondering if it was caused by the dark environment, he always felt very uneasy.

If Wang Wei finds the treasure box, he will definitely send it to him after he gets it, but it has not appeared until now, which means that he has not found it either. Wang Wei has been a soldier and is the strongest among them. If there is no movement, let alone others.

"Sleep quickly."

The rain outside the cave remained undiminished, and there was a slight snoring sound in the darkness.Li Sui got up and walked to the entrance of the cave. He could hear the sound of wind and rain not far away. It was late at night. At this time, he would miss Lu Shang especially, his facial features, his voice, and his body temperature.Especially after knowing that we can meet tomorrow, he can hardly suppress his heart that is beating so fast that it is about to overflow.

He had rubbed the military badge on his chest thousands of times, Li Sui felt that he must be crazy, and Sima Jingrong's two questions about Lu Shang made him unable to hold himself back.It was as if the gap in the cracked wall was suddenly pried open, and a broad road suddenly appeared in front of him, letting him know that the original road could still be walked this way.

He vaguely knows what men do with men. When he was working as a waiter in a bar, he accidentally bumped into a same-sex couple who were courting.Ever since he started thinking about Lu Shang, he packed up those obscure memories and threw them into a closed room. He always felt that thinking about them was against Lu Shang's cultivation of him.But now, he wanted to get close to that door again and spy on everything inside.He couldn't help but start thinking about what it would be like if he and Lu Shang were the protagonists of the scene.

The darkness gave him courage, and also gave him infinite desire to expand. He indulged in depicting in his mind, with blasphemous guilt. Li Sui never knew that just a little indulgence of thinking could bring him such a strong desire. stimulation.The rain outside the cave became heavier and heavier, and it gradually became terrifying. There was a cold wind blowing in from the outside, and the flames kept shaking. This time, not only Li Sui felt abnormal, but Sima Jingrong was also woken up.

"Why is it getting bigger and bigger?" He got up in a daze, "What time is it?"

"Two o'clock."

"It's been seven hours?"

Li Sui let out a "hmm" and covered the only light of fire with his hand.

Sima Jingrong saw that the dry firewood on one side was almost burned out, so he turned to gather some hay on the other side.Although they had a flashlight in their bag, the warm firelight made people feel more secure in this extreme weather.

Just as he was bending over to collect dry grass and branches on the ground, Sima Jingrong suddenly froze, took two steps back abruptly, and exclaimed: "Ah——!"

When Li Sui went over to look, his scalp felt numb, and he saw a pair of bones lying impressively in the pothole under the hay.

"Don't bark." Although Li Sui was also horrified, he forced himself to calm down, pulled out his dagger and stepped forward, poking at the pile of bones.

"It's okay, it's an animal." Li Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "Look, there are claws there."

Sima Jingrong was so frightened that it took him a long time to come back to his senses.Having said that, the two of them still couldn't rest assured that having animal bones might not be a good thing, at least it meant that there must be some kind of unknown danger here.

"What, what's that sound? Did you hear it?" Sima Jingrong's face was pale, and he turned to ask Li Sui tremblingly.

At first Li Sui thought that he was frightened and overstimulated, and he was a little frightened, but gradually he realized that something was wrong. There was a strange sound around him, like countless people whispering in his ears, and the sound became more and more serious. Big, getting closer, as if right next to the ear.

"Okay, it seems that it came from the cave..." Sima Jingrong stepped back unconsciously.

Li Sui reacted suddenly, grabbed his arm and ran away: "Go!"

"Bag...bag!"

"It's too late! Let's go!"

"What is that?"

"Mudslide!"

The two people rolled and crawled out of the cave, and the sound had turned into an obvious rumbling sound, like hundreds of trucks rushing towards them dragging heavy stone rollers at the same time.

"There's a stone platform over there, jump!"

Li Sui felt that he had never run so fast in his life. It was entirely because of his survival instinct that stimulated his body's potential. He ran out of the cave in one breath and jumped onto a stone platform opposite.During this period, he looked back and found that the cave where he had slept just now had been buried in sand and gravel in an instant. If they were one step later, the two of them would be dead.

It was the first time that he was so close to death, Sima Jingrong was so frightened that he was out of his wits, Guang Shitai was still uneasy, and climbed up the tree trunk with hands and feet.

The tumbling sand and stones rolled in front of the eyes, and instantly leveled the trees. The horror of the scene had to make people feel afraid of nature.The location they were in happened to be a safe area. The raised stone platform separated the direction of the mudslide, and ten meters away, the billowing sand and stone mixed with the mud roared down the mountain and invaded. The two escaped by chance looked around In contrast, they all looked pale.

The heavy rain was still falling, and it washed over his face, making his vision blurred. After the scene just now, the rain was nothing.Li Sui ruthlessly touched his face and heard Sima Jingrong crying.

"What should I do, my backpack is buried, I want to go home..."

What Li Sui thought of was something else. When he first went up the mountain, he observed that the soil here is too loose, and landslides and mudslides are extremely prone to occur. It is also late at night. If vigilance is not enough, I don't know how many people will have accidents.

Coincidentally, the reason why they escaped was fortunately that they chose to spend the night in the cave, and the skeleton that appeared in the pothole virtually helped them raise their vigilance.However, the speed of mudslides is too fast, and the human ear can't distinguish the speed of escaping. However, the geological movement at high altitudes is very easy to perceive underground. The sound waves on the surface are transmitted into the cave, causing the air flow to change. It sounds like the depths of the cave. It's like someone is talking.It was this hidden warning that bought them a few seconds of critical escape time.

"I don't know how Sima Yan is doing..."

Li Sui's heart was heavy, he bent down and pulled the dagger out of his leggings, and held it in his hand, he turned to call Sima Jingrong: "You can't stay in this place for long, let's go."
