Facing Brother Chengxin's question, Lu Shan remained silent. After a long time, he said: "No, there is no exchange condition. The purpose is just to make you give up."

None of us expected that Lu Shan would come up with such a rogue answer. For a moment, we couldn't find anything to say to respond. We were so sullen that we couldn't utter it for a long time.

With a 'pop' sound, Xiao Chengqian slapped the table, and then said: "Yes, we can't force you to do anything, but you don't want to interfere with our freedom of movement. Do you think I can't get deep diving equipment? Then

That’s it.”

After saying that, Xiao Chengqian walked away. But when the matter had reached this point, it was useless to talk about it anymore. The remaining people were not as angry as Xiao Chengqian, but kept silent and walked out of the barracks.

I was the last one to leave. Just when I was about to step out the door, I heard Tao Bo whispering behind me: "I can only report all this to Minister Jiang. There is no other way."

I felt angry and funny, so I said "please" and walked out.

We were very tired from running around all day. After we came out, we went to our respective rooms and went to sleep. However, I was too disappointed to toss and turn to sleep, so I simply packed up my clothes and walked out. I decided to take a walk in the woods in front of the barracks to relax.

Change your mood.

The moonlight was like water, shining on this quiet grove. I lit a cigarette and started smoking silently. I should be absolutely sure that the news Xiao Chengqian gave me was true. There were really purple plants under the water.

But what else is there besides purple plants? This is a puzzle, and more importantly, how was this news determined? Xiao Chengqian didn’t say, but I guess he couldn’t tell the reason, he just simply knew such a secret.

, and then decided that I was actually being taken advantage of this time and was unable to make any progress or retreat.

What’s even more depressing is that if I’m just being used, it’s okay. I can at least get enough support to get into the water. What to do next? I can take it one step at a time. What does Lu Shan’s words mean? Complete denial.

Considering Xiao Chengqian’s use, is there any secret in this?

Everything was like a mess that was hard to sort out and kept cutting. I fell into deep thought and burned a cigarette until it burned my fingers. Then I let out a low cry and realized what I was doing.

Before the lingering pain on my fingers subsided, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the woods. I am a Taoist priest. In a place like this late at night, the last thing I am afraid of meeting is ghosts, then people, and finally

What's troublesome is that I'm afraid of encountering some wild beast or something.

So, when I heard the footsteps, I didn't react at all. Instead, I leaned under a tree and waited quietly.

The moonlight tonight is cool enough. The figure gradually appeared in front of me, and then became clearer and clearer. It made me even more confused. It turned out to be Lu Shan?! What is he doing here? Could it be that he is also upset and can't fall asleep?

Human?

I looked at him and said nothing, but he greeted me as if nothing had happened, neither salty nor bland, and then fell silent, as if we met on the street and just said hello.

This strange time and relatively remote environment were not within the scope of his attention at all.

I intuitively felt that this person was a person who liked to take the initiative in his own hands, so he said hello and stood next to me without saying anything. He was just waiting for me to ask him, so that he would be more understanding.

Do you have the initiative?

I don't have any good impressions of Lu Shan, and my experiences since I was a child have made me more and more tired of being led by others, so I really didn't ask anything and just clicked.

After smoking a cigarette silently, he said goodbye to Lu Shan casually and walked out of the woods.

1 meter, 5 meters, 10 meters. I calculated the distance. Or is this an opportunity for me? Or maybe Lu Shan wants to tell me something? I hesitated again, but the speed of my feet did not change. I told myself to walk past the place in front of me.

A big tree. If Lushan hadn’t stopped me, I would have gone back to look for him.

Seeing the big tree in front of me getting closer and closer, when I was still one meter away, there was a coughing sound behind me, and then two words full of inquiry came: "Let's talk?"

A smile appeared on my face. For the first time, I felt completely autonomous and no longer controlled by others. But when I looked back, I was already confused.

In the early years, I couldn't do this kind of deception like wearing a mask. Chen Chengyi was a straightforward fool who didn't even hide his temper. However, after a few years, I realized that in this world, there is no sense of security.

It often comes from some disguise, and the only thing that can be worthy of it is your own heart.

Whiteness in a spotless environment is never precious.

What is truly precious is the kind of whiteness that makes your body white when you knock it open in a world that is muddy, burning, and full of mud.

In my floating thoughts, Lu Shan had already walked up to me and stood still.

He looked at me, and for the first time the expression on his face was no longer the kind of calm that wouldn't change even if the sky fell, but a playful uncertainty.

The first thing he said to me was: "Are you pretending to be stupid? Or are you really stupid?"

"It depends on what you think when you are happy." In fact, I have to admit that sometimes talking to Lu Shan is very tiring. No one wants to talk to someone who can't guess their thoughts and doesn't even reveal their purpose. It feels like that.

It's like standing naked in front of others.

"I don't seem to be able to gain your trust. However, that doesn't matter. Everyone needs a necessary disguise." Lu Shan's expression returned to calmness, and it was that annoying kind of don't know what he was thinking.

.

"I hope you tell me this. The next sentence is not to tell me that you are a spy, and then you need me to be a spy." I joked, but in fact, I was not interested in Lu Shan's disguise or his secret.

.

What interests me is only whether there is a turnaround in this operation, and whether this turnaround can be brought to me by Lu Shan.

If it is true that Xiao Chengqian said that he quickly found two sets of equipment, it is unclear whether we can go into the water or not.

"I am a Chinese, and my heart is also Chinese. Naturally, I cannot be a spy. I just want to say that when I went out, Tao Bo was already asleep. We did not report the subsequent situation to Minister Jiang, but only after your investigation was over.

Finally, I told Minister Jiang that because of the problem of the dive, you didn't detect anything and you were in a state of depression, so you haven't made any specific requests to us yet." Lu Shan said slowly.

There is a lot of information in this sentence, and I need to digest it slowly, because the only literal meaning is that Lu Shan concealed our request in the barracks. The amount of information worthy of scrutiny comes from Lu Shan’s purpose of doing this.

.

Since I didn’t know this person well, what I could guess was really limited. Leaning against the tree, with my hands folded in front of my chest, I said, “What next? Do you want me to be grateful? Quickly take back the unrealistic thoughts in your heart?”

I deliberately used these words to provoke Lu Shan. Even fools know that Lu Shan has no need to do this. He is Jiang Yi's man, so what's the benefit of trying to please me?

"Haha, what you said is really interesting. I still want to say that when I came out, Tao Bai was already asleep. Besides, this camp is very simple. It doesn't matter if you guys want to go out. And throughout the night, we will

If there is any unusual movement here, the people in that country will pretend that they have not seen it." Lu Shan said slowly.

My eyes narrowed, and I admitted that I became interested in what Lu Shan said, and became curious about him as a person. I said nothing, and Lu Shan continued: "The boat is still tied there, and no one will go there until dawn."

Take it back. Finally, what I want to say is that you don’t have to dive very deep to find something. The environment below is not very good. It is not as flat as a swimming pool. There may be something unusual hidden there.

Guy."

Having said this, Lu Shan suddenly turned to look at me and smiled, and then said: "Is the amount of information enough?"

I also laughed and said to him: "It seems not even close. There is at least 8 or 9 kilometers of lake surface, and the underwater information is unclear. Even if I were given two nights, I wouldn't be able to explore it all, and I wouldn't be able to find anything."

"Well." Lu Shan scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said: "Actually, would it be better if you look to the southeast? What you should pay attention to is not the water, but the rock wall soaked in the water. This way

But is it clear? No matter how unclear it is, if you feel that time is tight, don’t waste your talents. Neither Mu Chengqing nor Ji Chengzhen’s abilities are incomparable. It can still be done if you decide on a slightly more precise position."

Indeed, it can be done!

Hearing this, I stood up straight, patted my clothes, and then I didn't say thank you to Lu Shan. Saying thank you was meaningless. I just asked: "What do you want?"

Lu Shan did not speak, but smiled and said to me: "You should also be careful. It does not mean that there is no danger if you are not at the deepest point."

I didn't answer, I just looked at Lushan steadily. I was not afraid of danger and could avoid it. Nothing could stop me. Now I just wanted to make sure what he wanted.
Chapter completed!
