The old woman's name is Yang Qianxi, which is said to contain an allusion to "a charming smile and beautiful eyes".
The name sounded somewhat strange. In fact, she didn't know why her parents gave her a name that seemed to have rich meaning but was actually very ugly to pronounce.
Parents of the older generation often like to give their children some special names, probably because they think that good names will not make their children laugh. At least for them, Yang Qianxi is definitely better than "Goudan" or "Cuihua".
However, this name, which the two elders had painstakingly picked out from dictionaries and poetry collections, made Yang Qianxi feel uncomfortable for a long time.
No one would want to be called by others with a sentence like "Oh, I know the meaning of this name" at the end, and then act like they know a lot, and make a few comments, and finally praise the parents for being so cultured. But who knows whether they will say bad things about their parents behind their backs, saying they are "pretentious".
It really made Yang Qianxi sound stupid.
Perhaps because of some of her own experiences, or perhaps because of her ordinary status, she has never hesitated to assume the worst of others, especially when others seem to be sincerely complimenting her.
The stupidest thing is that you have to respond to the other person with a smile, to show that the other person really understands you.
This society of personal connections is really rotten; this is what Yang Qianxi often thought when she was young.
Although she would later laugh off this statement when she was old, Yang Qianxi, who was still young at the time, regarded as a guiding principle all kinds of philosophies that despised the secular world and ridiculed and criticized society.
Then not long after, her worldview was completely shattered by a person.
That person's name was "Wu Dayou", and the first time the two of them were connected was when Wu Dayou looked at Yang Qianxi's name on the form and blurted out, "What a stupid name."
In fact, Yang Qianxi was not around when Wu Dayou said this. Someone secretly told her this later, and that was after her relationship with Wu Dayou became better.
But I have to admit that Wu Dayou is indeed a very... unique person.
It was difficult for Yang Qianxi to describe such a mentally ill guy.
At that time, the Countermeasures Bureau had not yet declined as it is now, and the top-level combat effectiveness had not been greatly reduced. The director of the Countermeasures Bureau at that time was a ruthless man who could tear "Susanoo" apart with his bare hands. This made the country almost the safest place in the world. It was also for this reason that the supernatural atmosphere in the country was also the weakest. Most people did not know that there were alien species in this world, let alone the existence of the Countermeasures Bureau.
But this does not mean that the Countermeasures Bureau at that time was absolutely safe.
Even in its heyday, the odds between the Countermeasures Bureau and the alien species were only 70:30. This was already a strong record. For example, the neighboring island country and the peninsula had almost dropped to 40:60.
No one knows how the alien species came into being, and no one knows how to completely eradicate them. People always carry all kinds of weapons to the battlefield, and then crawl out from the sea of blood and corpses. If they see a friend, they will help him, if they see an enemy, they will shoot him, and then lean on the mountain of severed limbs and light a cigarette.
Watching the smoke rising in the air, like a long white river, extending all the way to the empty and silent universe; then watching the ashes fall into the soil, breaking into pieces.
This was probably the kind of life Yang Qianxi often lived in the past. No wonder she was somewhat cynical.
Then Wu Dayou came.
He came to the battlefield wearing a pure white coat.
At that time, there was a "disaster" level alien species gathering in Tianshan. Its own strength was not too strong, but its ability was weird and scary. In the alien world at that time, that guy was almost a monster comparable to Red Spider. In addition, coupled with the weakening situation of alien species in China, many monsters actually ran to Tianshan to wait for his dispatch, which seemed to have become a new situation no less than the special "emperor-noble" in Western Europe.
In order to deal with this possible threat, Yang Qianxi and other strong men were ordered to hunt those monsters. However, due to their lack of understanding of that guy, several attacks failed to work, and the situation gradually eased. The Countermeasures Bureau guarded outside Tianshan Mountain, while those monsters hid inside the mountain.
When everyone was at a loss, Wu Dayou slowly came to the position with a bound notebook.
The first words he said when he came here shocked everyone: "I will take over your command from now on. You can leave. As for the previous commander-in-chief, I have found a job for you in the kitchen. Now go and cook pork, you useless thing that is worse than a pig."
His contemptuous attitude was like his white coat, which was raised high, blocking the vision of everyone present and making them stunned and angry.
Although the tug-of-war did last for a long time, this was the best choice that could be made after considering the battlefield situation. If you attack rashly, you will pay a huge price, and you haven't even figured out the opponent's ability yet. A reckless attack will only weaken your situation.
Wu Dayou: "Who said I was going to attack?"
He gently closed the notebook in his hand and said calmly: "I let you waste so much time because I still have hope for you. I think that although you are not smart enough, you are not stupid. But these few days of waiting have made me desperate - how can I hunt monsters with idiots like you?"
"And your tactics are really outdated!" Wu Dayou scolded, "Didn't you see the 'About Team Changes to Alien Species Under the New Situation' that I posted in the Research Department last year? You don't even know how to use the latest technology. You deserve to be stuck here for the rest of your life!"
"Anyway, let's get everyone back to the front now, and don't worry about anything! If you really have nothing to do, go and slice some potatoes!"
His order stunned everyone.
Call back all the previous specialists and then hold the position?
Are they going to give the entire Tianshan Mountain to those monsters? Not surprisingly, his order was opposed by everyone present, especially some people who opposed it so fiercely that they almost spit on Wu Dayou's face.
However, Wu Dayou just looked at them with contempt and smashed his notebook on the guy's face: "I haven't even finished speaking, who allowed you to interrupt me?"
"Next, you will set up a defense line one kilometer outside the position. Don't attack, but defend," he said. "I will go to Tianshan Mountain in person in a while. I estimate that you will need to take action in half a day at the earliest to wipe out all the monsters that may come down from Tianshan Mountain!"
He wants to go to Tianshan? !
If everyone present before thought that Wu Dayou's ideas were bizarre, now they all thought that the guy in front of them was a lunatic.
There are currently three "disasters" on the Tianshan Mountains, and the high-end combat capabilities of the Countermeasures Bureau need to be stationed in other places. The most important thing to do now is to hold the position, and then invite the nearest minister-level commissioner to come and deal with it!
This was also their original plan.
It can only be said that the monsters on the Tianshan Mountains found a really good opportunity. They perfectly calculated that all the guys above the ministerial level would not arrive in time, which allowed them to grow stronger on the Tianshan Mountains.
However, Wu Dayou just glanced at these people and said something that no one present could understand.
"There is no time left," he said. "If things continue like this, the Tianshan Mountains are likely to turn into another 'peninsula.'"
"In short, if you don't want to die, quickly arrange for someone to pass on my order," Wu Dayou bent down to pick up the notebook and dusted it off, "As for you..."
He pulled the collar of the man opposite him and said with a half-smile, "If you contradict your superior and speak rudely in public, you would be beheaded in the past."
"But I have a kind heart, so I will be lenient with you," he said. "It just so happens that I need a companion to go up the mountain later, so you are the one. Come with me!"
Although everyone opposed it, Wu Dayou still insisted on it and even ridiculed those present, asking them to report to the next higher level to see what they would say.
"You'll have to listen to me in the end anyway, so why bring disgrace upon yourselves?" Wu Dayou seemed to be dissuading him, but in fact he was mocking him. "It would save you from adding to your resume. That's fine, but the most important thing is, you don't want the fact that you're all idiots to be leaked out, right?"
"If I alone can solve the problem that hundreds of you have spent a week trying to solve, wouldn't you all be useless? I won't be the one who gets embarrassed then."
I have to say, this guy's face is really annoying.
However, the most important thing is that no one can cure him.
No matter how he asked his superiors, the orders he received in the end were all to follow Wu Dayou's instructions, without even a single punctuation mark being changed.
Some people were furious, thinking that Wu Dayou must be the illegitimate son of some leader, who came here to gild his reputation!
This is to use their lives to fill Wu Dayou's golden road! In short, no matter what others think, Wu Dayou finally took someone with him and went to Tianshan in person.
"Then what?"
Sitting on the chair, Bai Ling looked at Yang Qianxi opposite him.
The above contents were all told to him by Yang Qianxi herself, information about Wu Dayou.
The reason is simple.
The one who spat on Wu Dayou's face was her.
In other words, she was the other person who was dragged by Wu Dayou to Tianshan alone.
Glancing at Bai Ling, Yang Qianxi showed a reminiscent expression on her face: "And then... and then I don't know either."
"To be honest, I was almost scared to death at that time," she smiled. "After all, no matter how much I experienced at that time, I was still a child. Although I killed many monsters, it was not the same as rushing into a pile of monsters myself. Not to mention, we climbed the mountain almost under the noses of those monsters."
"I don't know what method Wu Dayou used. Even though those monsters were very wary of us and many of them wanted to chop off our heads, they still endured and let us enter the deepest part of Tianshan Mountain - where the most powerful monster was."
Under the sunlight, the old lady's face looked a lot younger: "Young people nowadays probably can't remember clearly, but I still remember that guy very clearly. His code name was 'Chi You', which has nothing to do with the Chi You in the mythology, but he believed that he was a descendant of the devil, so he called himself that, and other people called him that too."
"He has eight arms and eight legs, and three heads. I looked very carefully and saw that the leftmost head had a wound on the bridge of the nose. I remember it very clearly - that was the wound I left behind."
"After seeing Chi You, Wu Dayou smiled."
"He said: 'After wearing the skin of a tiger for so long, do you really think you are a tiger?'"
Later, he pushed Yang Qianxi away and told her not to listen outside.
Although Yang Qianxi didn't want to go out, Wu Dayou still kicked her out of the door rudely - he didn't use much force, after all, he was not as strong as Yang Qianxi.
However, because she was kicked out, Yang Qianxi was unable to hear clearly what they said afterwards.
All she knew was that in the end, Wu Dayou walked out with a victorious smile on his face, holding the bordered notebook he always carried with him.
Then things became very simple.
After communicating with Wu Dayou, "Chiyou" disappeared inexplicably. Without Chiyou's protection, the others had no way to resist the Countermeasures Bureau. If they stayed in Tianshan, they would probably be exhausted to death. Therefore, those monsters tried their best to escape the encirclement of the Countermeasures Bureau.
Soon, they discovered that the Countermeasures Bureau, which was once as strong as a rock, had disappeared within a few days.
It seems that the sky has not yet cut off their hope! Just when they were ecstatic.
One kilometer away, everyone received Wu Dayou's message.
"The matter is settled," he said calmly, holding the communicator, "Let's start hunting."
"You can't attack the mountain, but you can't encircle and suppress it, right?"
After saying this, he hung up the phone and looked at Yang Qianxi next to him.
"Come back to your senses," he waved his hands in front of Yang Qianxi twice, "Your soul has not left your body and traveled through time and space, has it? If this plot wants to become popular, it will take decades."
Only after listening to Wu Dayou's inexplicable words did Yang Qianxi come back to her senses.
She grabbed Wu Dayou's sleeve and said hurriedly: "How did you do it?!"
Wu Dayou, whose sleeve was grabbed by Yang Qianxi, showed an obvious expression of disgust on his face.
He shook his hand, but failed to shake off Yang Qianxi's hand. Compared with the combat-oriented Yang Qianxi, he, a scientific research staff member, was too weak.
Therefore, he had to say unhappily: "Let go! You're almost tearing my sleeve off!"
Patting his clothes, Wu Dayou chuckled: "As for how I did it..."
He put his finger to his lips and shook it: "Business secrets, never disclose to anyone. Unless..."
"Unless?" Yang Qianxi looked at Wu Dayou.
She was really curious.
What kind of secret could make a monster like Chi You willingly retreat? !
Looking into Yang Qianxi's eyes, Wu Dayou laughed loudly: "What else can I expect? I find that you are really innocent. Have you never been in love before?"
"Saying such things in such an occasion, isn't it just to plant the seeds of love and then water them carelessly to let them sprout?" Wu Dayou shook his head, "Tsk, I didn't expect that you have good looks, but you are so pure inside. You will definitely become a boy killer in the future."
Ignoring Yang Qianxi's increasingly ferocious expression, Wu Dayou's face became serious: "Anyway, there is only one thing I want to say."
He raised a finger. "No matter what I do, what my purpose is, or what I want to do in the future, I hope you won't ask me, and it's best not to even think about it. I know your character, you are cynical, radical, and that's why I want to find you."
Wu Dayou smiled meaningfully: "Your personality is very suitable for helping me to ward off possible threats, because you are too stupid and too extreme, and your worries are all shown on your face. To be honest, I really like people like you who are sad about the passing of time without experiencing too much hardship. If nothing else, at least when you are around, those who are staring at me will be embarrassed by your stupidity and look away..."
"So, you should just follow me from now on," Wu Dayou patted Yang Qianxi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if nothing else, at least you can learn some new knowledge by my side. I dare not say too much, but I am still confident that I can make you evolve from amoeba to monkey~ As for going further... the species has determined it, no matter how smart I am, I can't change it."
When she said this, the wrinkles on Yang Qianxi's face twitched slightly.
It was obvious that Wu Dayou's words made her feel excited for a moment even at her old age when she no longer cared about gains and losses.
Bai Ling, who was sitting opposite her, held his forehead with his hand.
He had no idea that the guy who looked like him had such a personality.
But this is normal.
The guy who broke the oath traveled back hundreds of years ago and his personality became extreme and arrogant. And there is evidence to prove that Wu Dayou, who may have traveled back decades ago, has become so... weird.
At this point, Yang Qianxi sighed: "To be honest, even if he died, I'm afraid I would never forget what he said. So you asked me if I had any impression of you... The gap between you and Wu Dayou is actually quite big."
Then, Yang Qianxi said something that shocked Bai Ling: "What's more, he is not dead yet."
Not dead?
Wu Dayou...is not dead yet?! Bai Ling's expression relaxed a little in an instant.
But soon, he returned to his usual calmness.
"Can you tell me in detail?" Bai Ling looked at Yang Qianxi, "About... that person."
