They were unkempt, slovenly, and looked like two savages.
But my mental state is pretty good.
The two of them were well prepared this time and brought a lot of supplies and ingredients.
Smelling the fragrant rabbit legs in front of him, the Black Mountain Snake nodded.
"Brother Xiao, it's true that cooking requires talent! You said that I stare at you every day and learn from you, but the same thing and the same process taste different? How can you grasp it so well?
Okay?"
"This is mainly related to IQ, you don't have to worry too much!"
"Hey, you have such a high IQ. You dragged me to a ghost place like this to experience the beauty of the original nature!"
"Shut up, I'm depressed!"
"What's there to be depressed about? Learn from me."
The Black Mountain Snake smiled and patted his chest.
"I thought about the result before I came in, so I won't be disappointed at all, let alone depressed! I just treat it like a hunting trip! And the harvest is pretty good."
Black Mountain Snake pointed to the backpack beside him.
"You can sell it for a lot of money when you get out!"
Wang Xiao didn't have the time to ponder this with the Black Mountain Snake.
He looked thoughtful, as if he was talking to himself or to the Black Mountain Snake.
"They must be hiding in a place like this, and they must be inseparable from the water source. As long as we guard the water source, we will be able to guard them. The question is, after such a long time, why is there no movement at all?"
"Because the Blade headquarters is not in such a ghost place at all. Why! Tell me why!"
Black Mountain Snake choked Wang Xiao, and just as he was about to continue speaking, the military communicators they carried rang.
"Ebony, ebony, please reply when you hear the news!"
Wang Xiao skillfully adjusted the equipment.
"Director Peng, please speak."
"Your mother's condition has deteriorated seriously in the past two days! In order to prevent unexpected events, you should come back quickly! I have already completed the procedures for you and will take you back to the city to see your mother first!"
Wang Xiao and Black Mountain Snake immediately stood up.
The two of them didn't even eat anything, turned around and ran away...
——————
Jincheng, Zhongshan Hall.
Wang Xiao's mother was covered in tubes and was in a coma.
Several Western doctors wearing white coats, holding various laboratory reports, are discussing the condition.
Gongshan sat next to Wang Xiao's mother, with a serious look on his face.
Wang Xiao and Black Mountain Snake looked worried.
Zhou Tian patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder and sighed.
"Your mother's condition deteriorated very suddenly this time! I hope she can survive it!"
"Just don't leave, just stay here."
Wang Xiao sighed and covered his cheeks with his hands.
It's quiet at night.
The room was filled with the sound of "ticking" machines running.
Wang Xiao's eyes were dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
The door opened and Peng Gang walked in and handed Wang Xiao a piece of rice.
"Eat something and take a nap."
Wang Xiao sighed and shook his head.
"The body is the capital of revolution, and nothing can be changed by spending so much time on it."
"I know."
Wang Xiao was in extremely low mood.
"But I'm really not in the mood. I'm not hungry either."
Peng Gang also noticed that Wang Xiao really couldn't eat anymore, so he immediately changed his tone.
"There's nothing in the shady mountain area, right?"
Wang Xiao said "hmm".
"I have known for a long time that you would not listen and would waste time and energy to see what you have become like."
“You have to really look for it to be sure whether it’s there or not.”
Peng Gang's eyes flickered, and he was obviously worried.
All this was seen by Wang Xiao.
"Director Peng, is there something wrong?"
Peng Gang hesitated for a while and then spoke.
"The Sword Society has issued an ultimatum."
"Ultimatum?"
"Yes, if the person is not handed over within three days, Zhou Yuhang will be detained."
"Who do you want to pay?"
"Hand in Bai Dao's murderer."
Peng Gang looked confused.
"Actually, Superintendent Zhou specifically told me not to tell you this. But I really can't hide from this matter."
Peng Gang sighed.
"After all, the decision of who to release first and who to release later was my decision."
The room was very, very quiet, and time passed by minute by minute.
Wang Xiao broke the silence.
"I'll just go and change Zhou Yuhang."
He is simple and clear.
"But I have a condition."
Peng Gang glanced at Wang Xiao, but he didn't hide anything.
"Just ask."
Wang Xiao lowered his voice and whispered a few words into Peng Gang's ear.
When Peng Gang heard this, he immediately said.
"Are you crazy? This has already happened, and you still don't give up, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to give up, it's because I haven't given up yet, and I don't want to die either."
Wang Xiao is simple and clear.
"What's more, my plan actually has no risk for you..."
More than half an hour later, Peng Gang left and Black Mountain Snake came back.
The two happened to meet face to face.
"Director Peng!"
Peng Gang patted the Black Mountain Snake on the shoulder, but did not respond and left with a heavy heart.
"what happened to him?"
Black Mountain Snake sat next to Wang Xiao with a confused look on his face.
"It's okay, he needs some time to digest."
When Wang Xiao said this, he paused.
"I can stay here by myself tonight. You can go back to bed and come over to replace me tomorrow morning."
"It's okay, I'll go with you."
"We brothers have a clear division of labor. Otherwise, we won't be able to endure it! Mom has no idea. It's him when she wakes up in an hour, and it's him when she wakes up in ten and a half months! If she can't wake up, it's him too! Don't worry.
Come on, I’ll call you if something happens!”
Black Mountain Snake thought for a moment and was indeed a little tired.
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Wang Xiao said "Hmm" and waited for the Black Mountain Snake to leave.
He stood up slowly, grabbed his mother's cold palm, and kissed his mother's forehead.
"Mom, you must carry it through. Come on!"
Li Xiaoya came in with a gloomy face, no smile at all, and an alienating indifference.
"Xiaoya, mom, I'll leave this to you. Remember what I told you."
"I can't remember! I've forgotten it!"
For the first time, Li Xiaoya and Wang Xiao had a nose that was not a nose, and a face that was not a face.
"What's wrong with you girl?"
Wang Xiao instantly became more serious, with a hint of rebuke.
"Is this situation, this situation, the time for you to act petty? Can you divide the occasion into different situations? Control your emotions?"
Li Xiaoya's words were full of anger.
"I'm good at differentiating situations and controlling my emotions! Otherwise, I would have told the Black Mountain Snake everything! I'm really tired of that. How good of a relationship do you have with Zhou Yuhang? You're just like that
Selfless? So fearless? So fearless of life and death? Why do you want to die if you are good? You have done enough and worked hard enough! Why should you change him!"
"His Zhou Yuhang's life is his life, but your life is not his life, right?"
"He, Zhou Yuhang, has people to worry about, but don't you have people to worry about?"
Li Xiaoya became more and more excited, and her eye circles became red as she spoke.
"Brother Xiao, do you know your position in my heart? You are my spiritual belief, Li Xiaoya! Do you know? Do you know?"
It seems that I can no longer control my emotions.
Wang Xiao raised his hand and grabbed Li Xiaoya's shoulders and pushed her to the wall.
"You think I have a choice, don't you?"
"My legs and feet are all on you, so why do you have no choice? Who forced you to trade yourself for Zhou Yuhang! It's not like you made the decision without permission and engaged in that so-called brotherhood!"
