"You have been together for many years, right? I remember that when I met Cao Ganjing, he was not with you yet. At that time, he was a programming expert who was bored and did hacking at home." Jiubao was easy-going. He did not seem strange to Zhao Yulin when they met for the first time. They talked about one topic after another.
Zhao Yulin liked Jiubao's personality very much, but he did not hear Jiubao talk about things related to explosions.
"I heard from Cao Ganjing that the bombing of a certain country's building was actually your masterpiece, right? Our operation this time..." Zhao Yulin felt that it was necessary to mention this operation. After all, he was not here to reminisce with Jiubao.
"Stop talking. I haven't touched that thing for a long time. I have to go patrol the mountains. You go back first."
Zhao Yulin didn't expect that Jiubao, who was talking and laughing with him just now, suddenly changed his face when he mentioned this action. He pinched his face and grabbed his clothes and left. Zhao Yulin didn't react for a while and watched Jiubao go out.
"Hey? Brother Jiubao!" Zhao Yulin chased out and stopped Jiubao, but saw that the smile on his face was gone, and he was so serious that it was scary. When the cold eyes looked at him, Zhao Yulin felt that this was a cold-blooded killer who had killed people before.
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? Sorry. For Cao Ganjing's sake, please don't be angry." After Jiubao got angry, Zhao Yulin suddenly remembered that Cao Ganjing had said that Jiubao was upset about the explosion that the terrorist organization used the blasting plan he gave him, and he shouldn't mention it.
"I'm not angry with you, I just can't get over it. It's okay, you go back first, let me think about your matter again." Jiubao's mood seemed to be much calmer, and he spoke more politely.
Zhao Yulin originally wanted to tell him the details, but seeing his firm attitude, he had no choice but to leave first.
Alas! Most capable people have strange tempers. As Zhao Yulin walked down the mountain, he was not too worried about the operation. He felt that Jiubao was giving Cao Ganjing a lot of face, so he should participate.
But Jiubao's words made Zhao Yulin feel a little unsure. If he left in such an unclear way, how would he report to Cao Ganjing? Moreover, Zhao Yulin found that Jiubao seemed to be deliberately avoiding the matter of blasting. Zhao Yulin always felt that he did not really want to participate in the operation, and if possible, Jiubao did not want to touch explosives again in his life.
No! This operation is crucial, and Zhao Yulin now suspects that Cao Ganjing sent him here because he is unsure about Jiubao's intentions and wants him, as the boss, to come forward to invite him and persuade him to appear more sincere, rather than letting Jiubao participate simply because of human relations. Thinking
of this, Zhao Yulin turned around and ran to the top of the mountain again, but Jiubao was no longer there.
Zhao Yulin chased in the direction Jiubao went, but he didn't see Jiubao even after running for a long time.
"I didn't expect this forest to be so big. Where did Jiubao go?" Zhao Yulin remembered that Jiubao walked very fast, and now he didn't know the direction and where he went. Since he couldn't catch up with the person, he simply stopped rushing. Zhao Yulin strolled while extending his consciousness to the surroundings, silently reciting the mind method of the evil dragon evil coupon
in his mind. This time it was a bit strange. The evil dragon evil coupon was not too fierce in Zhao Yulin's body, and the power was not so violent. Instead, it was like a clear spring, gently and slowly circulating in his body.
"Could it be that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the forest is abundant, so it makes the evil dragon evil coupon very comfortable?" Zhao Yulin thought to himself with self-mockery, and hurried to seize this rare opportunity, urging the mind method while walking.
If Zhao Yulin was not in a hurry to find Jiubao, he really wanted to sit on the ground in this forest and practice for a while. However, while walking and practicing, Zhao Yulin could also feel some subtle changes in his body. It seemed to be more sensitive, and the tentacles extending outward seemed to have grown a little longer.
Huh? There seemed to be some sound over there, very faint. If Zhao Yulin was not sensitive now, he would definitely not be able to hear it.
Zhao Yulin looked towards the sound, but found a figure busy with something not far away. Judging from the naked upper body and the straw hat on his head, it should be Jiubao.
Zhao Yulin quietly walked closer to take a look and found that there were piles of saplings next to Jiubao. In this somewhat empty forest, many such saplings have been planted.
As if he heard the sound of stepping on a dead branch behind him, Jiubao suddenly turned around. When he saw that the person coming was Zhao Yulin, he was a little stunned, and then asked: "Didn't you go down the mountain? Why? Are you back to monitor me?"
Jiubao's tone was not very good, and Zhao Yulin hurried to explain.
"No, I just think I seem to have made you unhappy. Although I am not a great good man, I have never owed anyone who can be considered a brother, so I feel it is necessary to come and make you happy." "
Tsk, I'm not a woman, why do you need to coax me! Hurry back, I don't have time to accompany you, can't you see I'm busy." Jiubao ignored him and concentrated on planting saplings.
"You own this mountain? Do you make a living by planting trees?" Zhao Yulin walked over to help Jiubao hold the sapling, while Jiubao was filling the soil for the sapling.
"No."
"Then why are you planting trees? I heard that you are here to help patrol the mountain, so it seems that you don't need to plant trees?" Zhao Yulin watched Jiubao walk to the next location and start digging a hole. When it was almost done, he helped him put the sapling in. Jiubao did not refuse, but directly filled the soil to fix the sapling.
"To atone for my sins."
Unexpectedly, Jiubao's answer was so sad. Zhao Yulin was slightly surprised, but did not continue to ask.
Zhao Yulin and Jiubao continued to plant more than a dozen saplings in silence, and Jiubao finally slowly let go of his rejection.
"Don't you know about the attack? The bombing was indeed my 'merit'. I don't want to make excuses for myself. I know that I have sinned deeply and can't do anything else. I can only replace the dead with saplings, hoping that they can survive in another way."
Jiubao spoke again, and Zhao Yulin could hear the pain in his words. It was not his fault, but he was forced to bear the sin. For someone like Zhao Yulin, this was not a big deal, but for some people with pure nature, it might be a torment.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Yulin asked, perhaps he could understand Jiubao's thoughts.
"Don't you want me to join your action? Do you see the saplings over there? I still have more than a thousand trees to plant. I won't go anywhere until I finish planting these saplings." Jiubao said indifferently and continued to plant trees.
"I'll help you." Zhao Yulin made the decision with just one simple sentence, and did not allow Jiubao to refuse. In fact, Jiubao did not refuse, but just shrugged indifferently.
"Whatever you want."
There are still about ten days left, and planting more than a hundred saplings a day seems a bit beyond imagination.
Zhao Yulin wanted to call other people to come together, but there was no signal in the mountains. Zhao Yulin didn't want Jiubao to think that he said he would help but asked for help, and was just talking big, so he patiently got busy with the two of them.
Working together did affect efficiency, so Zhao Yulin was sent out alone. However, there were no extra tools for him to use. He could only be given a hoe, and Jiubao kept a shovel for himself.
"The soil must be compacted and piled high, otherwise the saplings will be blown down easily before they take root." Jiubao simply reminded Zhao Yulin and ignored him. Zhao Yulin had to dig the tree pit with a hoe first, and then fill it back with soil by hand.
Because there was no shade from the leaves in this open space, especially at noon, the scorching sun was almost enough to make people suffer from heatstroke.
Jiubao didn't feel that hot because he had a hat to protect him, but Zhao Yulin was wearing clothes without a hat, so his body was already soaked with sweat.
Lunch time had long passed, but Jiubao didn't seem hungry at all, and kept repeating the action of planting trees. Zhao Yulin took out his mobile phone and took a look. It was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was very hot.
Zhao Yulin knew in his heart that Jiubao might be testing him with this trick, or he wanted to refuse this action but had no good excuse, so he deliberately made things difficult for him, so he had to let Jiubao see his sincerity.
Zhao Yulin roughly calculated that it would take about five or six minutes to plant a tree. It was now past noon. If he worked until after four o'clock in the afternoon, he could only plant about fifty trees at this speed.
Zhao Yulin calculated for a long time and finally found the quickest way, which was to dig a row of pits first, and then plant the saplings from the beginning, which would save some time.
He worked like this until the sun was about to set, when Jiubao finally breathed a sigh of relief and called Zhao Yulin to finish his day's work.
Zhao Yulin roughly calculated that he had only planted 70 to 80 trees, and with Jiubao's, it was estimated that there were less than 200 trees. Looking at the pile of saplings, Zhao Yulin had a headache.
"I don't have anything good to offer you at home. You'd better hurry down the mountain before it gets completely dark. Don't come tomorrow. I'll contact Cao Ganjing after I get these saplings ready."
Jiubao walked in front. Zhao Yulin looked at his red and swollen arms and replied calmly, "No, do you have water at home? I'll drink some water and then come over to help you plant trees."
Jiubao stopped and looked back at Zhao Yulin. "The mountains are not like the city. After it gets completely dark, there is no light at all. What can you use to plant trees? Do you have night vision? Listen to my advice. You are already good today. Go back. I will tell Cao Ganjing."
What? Say that you will not participate? Zhao Yulin couldn't give him a chance to say no.
"Don't persuade me, I'm stubborn." Zhao Yulin didn't stop and continued to walk forward past Jiubao.
