Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Are you collecting stamps?
…
She didn't understand how things had come to this.
In the car's rearview mirror, there are two sturdy birch trees with a horizontal bar hanging in the middle. A man in combat uniform is doing pull-ups there.
Every time he exerted force, the tree shook, his body moved upward, and even his crotch passed the horizontal bar, while the person next to him was still counting.
People from the two teams take turns. When one person finishes, the next person praises him or her and then does it more times.
Trouble comes from the mouth. She didn't expect that the competitive spirit among the sentinels was so strong. It was just a casual compliment.
The volume of the counting grew louder, the intervals lengthened, the man was exhausted, let go and jumped down, stepping on the ground, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and finally it was one hundred and seventy.
She sat and watched, feeling a little itchy, but knew that it would be difficult for her to do that at the moment.
The reticulated python curled up beside his legs, then unconsciously lifted its head to its knees, then circled around his belly and upwards. Xia Guangli frowned and reached out to push it away. It barked its tongue out and shrank its neck in warning.
Xu Shanshan: "It's okay, it'll just find a place to squat and stay still." It's like a model, and she's like a hot branch, so the other party can calm down quickly around her.
After being rejected, the man stopped and just used his eyes to warn the other party not to move.
She placed her fingers on the snake's scales and looked up, applying only a little pressure when she was surprised.
The competition was at a disadvantage. The opponent's average strength wasn't high, but there were a few extreme individuals. Xie Pan had already been eliminated, and the strongest remaining member of the team was probably Captain Darren.
She also didn't want to see the team lose, so when he took off his coat and came forward, she cheered them on.
Darren lowered his head, smiled shyly, stretched his body, grabbed the horizontal bar with both hands, exerted force with his arms, and lifted his whole body high into the air with his muscles flexed.
"Wow~~ Awesome!"
The emotional value was full, until the trouser legs made a rustling sound. She looked down and saw that the man had moved his legs. She was afraid that he would pull the wound. "What's wrong?"
Xia Guangli: "Do you admire strong men?"
How could she answer this? A vague gaze lingered overhead, and the movement in the distance froze. She froze for a moment, then tried to delay the attack. "Why do you say that?"
"You've been staring." At a certain part, he stared without blinking.
She flatly denied it, "I was surprised. I haven't seen you training much." Although she felt a little guilty when she said this.
There were many sentries present, and she didn't want anyone to misunderstand her. Men's jealousy is terrible, and she has witnessed this in recent days.
"Perhaps, they are indeed stronger, but I..."
"I like you better." She said softly.
She chuckled softly and almost immediately felt her waist tighten. She patted it, asking the python to be more gentle and not wrap around her.
A hand reached up, fingers fell on the forehead, combing the loose hair to the temple. Xia Guangli comforted him, "It's okay, as long as you like it, I will try my best."
In the past, he paid more attention to endurance. In the future, if he increases his strength training and can achieve this level, she will definitely be satisfied.
What they saw and heard stimulated the others, and the spirits showed more clearly, with birds stomping and chirping. The snakes restrained their emotions well, but the rattlesnake shook its tail, the rings colliding with each other, expressing its feelings with a unique frequency.
Xia Guangli: "Then how about we compete with him?"
"who?"
He didn't tell her his name directly, but described her appearance. She thought for a long time and asked doubtfully, "Ares?"
"Of course you are more important."
"But you took his nameplate."
The woman frowned, confused about the connection, and fumbled in each pocket until she finally found two pieces of sewn cloth with Velcro on the back. She held them in her hands and looked at them back and forth.
"Anything special?"
Xia Guangli: "In your country, how do sentinels usually express their desire for a guide?"
There weren't any sentries or guides there; everyone was just an ordinary person. She made an analogy. "I don't know. My ex-boyfriend, whom I pursued," she recalled. "He didn't give me anything. He just brought me a bouquet of flowers when we met."
…
This answer is speechless. What a lucky man!
"I want some too," Lawrence interrupted.
She took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. Could this thing have such a strong meaning? A person approached, blocking the light with his body. She looked up and saw it was Captain Jiang Sen.
Jiang Sen: "Do you like stamp collecting?"
He pretended to take the epaulettes, but she quickly refused, saying "no" five times in a row, "I don't collect these."
She didn't want others to misunderstand her, so she breathed softly, unable to find the right words for the moment. Someone else helped her add, "I found it."
She chimed in, "Yeah, I found it. I don't really need it, sorry."
"That's okay, do you want to take a look?"
The shoulder straps all had some small designs on them. She only glanced at them from a distance and still shook her head in rejection. The man hugged the thick snake body, lifted it up, and moved the tail to wrap around himself. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
The others watched him drag the snake away with satisfaction.
"You said you don't have that kind of feelings for him?"
She nodded, absolutely, but a little hesitantly, probably not.
"Leave it to me." The smell of the cloth was very strong and nauseating.
"Of course, no problem."
She held two pieces of cloth in her hands, stretched out her hand, and was about to put it into the man's palm, but then she retracted it and said hesitantly: "Maybe as a souvenir?" The lion pattern on it was very majestic.
The man's expression darkened, his voice deepened, and he stared at her with a dangerous look in his eyes, "Are you sure?"
"I……"
She hesitated for a moment and handed the nameplate to him, "Here you go." The name alone was meaningless, so she would just keep the epaulette.
"Okay, keep it if you like it." Xia Guangli didn't want to force her.
"Forget it," she breathed softly and handed the epaulettes to him. "It's just a lion," she glanced at the edge of her coat. "Then give me your compensation."
Xia Guangli: "Of course, I'm very willing to do so."
The man tore off his nameplate and epaulettes and handed them to her. Xu Shanshan was about to put them in her pocket at first, but then she found that there was also Velcro on her coat, so she stuck it on directly.
Lawrence also came over and held it up. "Do you want mine? The two teams have different patterns."
Before she could take a closer look, Song Xiaoyu looked up and called out, "Captain Jie, can you take your team to find a wild flower? He can't wait any longer."
He was ruining his plans again. Hearing this provocation, Lawrence stood up and looked over. "He's sick."
Xie Yifei ignored him: "Pack your things and get ready to go."
After the break, all the equipment was loaded back onto the car. Xie Yifei stood in front of the car, holding onto the frame. He glanced back at the two of them, who were chatting happily. "Guide Shanshan, Captain Xia, it's time to leave."
"Yes, sir!"
She raised her hand and saluted, then reached out to help the man up and opened the door for him. After the man entered, she got into the car and whispered in his ear, "Be careful of bald heads."
The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and he searched for the mirror seriously. She put her arm around his shoulders and said, "It will be later. I still have a lot of hair now."
"Little rascal." The man pinched his cheek in order to scare him.
After Xie Yifei waved goodbye, he walked back without noticing how his smile gradually disappeared. When he got back to the car, he heard complaints and sarcastic remarks, as expected.
He glanced back and said, "Lawrence, be quiet."
The meeting was brief and they would eventually disperse. Unlike them, the Snake Team's combat strategy was to lurk, and the two teams could not travel together.
The other party gave way and they left first. According to habit, they chose a high point. On the way, they encountered two waves of pollutants and quickly eliminated the other party.
She sat in the tent, looking at the fire burning outside. The man handed her a chocolate bar and said, "Do you want one?"
Xu Shanshan shook her head and said, "I won't eat it. I'll give it to others to replenish their energy."
Xia Guangli: "Would you like to stay here and take care of me tonight?"
She was surprised, turned her head back, blinked twice, and then thought about the wounded who needed care, and agreed: "Okay, if you need it." She would let him get a good night's sleep.
The person opposite her chuckled, and she realized that he was teasing her again. She was so angry that she was about to strangle him.
Xia Guangli: "This is none of your business. Have a good rest tonight."
In the middle of the meal, someone from the second team came over. It was Laurent.
Laurent: "Laurence was wounded in the afternoon battle. He doesn't feel well. Can you come and see him?"
Was someone injured? She immediately stood up and asked, "Where is the person?"
Halfway through the walk, she turned back and said, "Don't wait for me." If everything was fine, she would be back as soon as possible.
The woman gradually walked away. Xia Guangli slowly moved to a low stool and sat down, looking at Song Xiaoyu. "Do you think they will let her come back?"
What did that mean? He wasn't used to the days when the guide wasn't around, so he subconsciously followed her, thinking he'd pick her up after the work was done. He hadn't expected that the two teams would now be working together, so they could sleep anywhere.
Xia Guangli pointed at the two of them and said, "Wait outside. If she asks you to come back..."
"Then come back and don't cause trouble."
"yes!"
The soles of her shoes stepped on the fallen leaves and mud. She approached carefully, her hands shaking even when she opened the curtain. Bad memories emerged from her mind, the black and white photos of everyone in the dream.
"How is he?"
“It’s mainly pollution.”
The back was exposed, bandages wrapped diagonally, blood oozing outwards. She squinted her eyes as she approached, relieved to see no large patches of blood.
The two of them had heard footsteps long ago and looked up to greet her in time. She came to the bed, looked at the injured person, and looked around, but the main wounds were concentrated on the back.
Lawrence: "I felt dizzy and there was someone roaring in my ears. It was like there were a lot of circles of light."
When they were driving on the road in the afternoon, Laurence started behaving strangely, wiping his eyes all the time. At first Laurent thought he was sad, but when he looked closely, he saw that his eyes were red.
"Okay," she held the man's hand, which was a little cold, "Don't move, let me see."
The spirit body was summoned in his palm, and white fluid floated between the two of them. He suddenly closed his eyes, shook his body, and fell straight down.
She wanted to hold on tight, but the force pulled her towards the bed. Fortunately, there were other people there, and they worked together to put him down on the bed.
His breathing became steady, but ominous signs appeared: his body temperature rose and his forehead was burning.
She had never encountered such a situation before, how could it be more serious?
Laurent: "Don't worry, he's not that fragile."
Xie Yifei guessed that the patient might have been contaminated for a long time and the lesion was quite deep, but it had been covered up and not discovered. Now the body was under stress, so he asked her to continue to relieve the disease after a while.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and his spirit body poked his head out. The little bee seemed to have drunk fake wine and flew around and hit the wall. She reached out and caught it in her palm.
His voice was very soft and gentle. "My wings are injured and it hurts. Can you stay with me?"
Laurent felt a little uncomfortable watching it, and his anxious heart also calmed down. He was really uncomfortable just now, and now this clip sound seemed to be fake.
The body fragrance drifted into his nose, more tempting than nectar. He saw those lips parted slightly and said gently, "Okay, I'll stay here with you."
After finishing the treatment, even she was drenched in sweat and felt a little dizzy. It was hard to imagine that they usually just held it together on their own. After calming herself down, she walked out to get some fresh air.
Outside the tent, the two waited for a long time and tried to go in several times, but were stopped.
When she finally came out, her face flushed red and her eyes wandered, Song Xiaoyu asked eagerly, "Shall we go?"
She shook her head and said, "I'm not going back."
Xiao Han: "Okay, please don't overexert yourself."
Is he not going to come back tonight or never come back in the future? Song Xiaoyu looked at her reluctantly, but she didn't explain much and walked aside.
At night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, causing people to curse: "Are you a maggot?"
