Pushing open a stone door, there is a cave inside. It is dozens of meters wide and empty, with only a large cage beside the cave wall in the distance.
After seeing the objects inside clearly, Luo Yan's pupils shrank.
Zhao Pei clapped his palms again and again until the things inside woke up, and turned his head to look.
Luo Yan met a pair of dark vertical pupils.
"This mission is extraordinary. I'm not kidding you. That place is called Python Ridge, and there are rumors that there are many pythons. Since you are going, you will face it sooner or later. It just so happens that last year, the Falcon team captured a forest python. You have to compete with it.
If you win, you will be allowed to go."
The creatures in the cage were pitch black, thicker than a bucket, and even longer than a scalp numbing. They were coiled up in a pile, and their evil vertical pupils stared straight at people.
Luo Yan didn't need to look at it to know that there were goosebumps on his arms. There was no shortage of such things in the primitive forests of Myanmar. His teammates had heard of them before during missions.
This was the first time she faced it.
Seeing her excessively silent reaction, the man calmly lifted his lips and said, "You have to speak with your strength."
There was a long sharp blade hanging on the wall. He took it off and weighed it in his hand. "Use this to cut off the shackles of the iron cage. When it comes out, play with it until it dies, and you will pass."
"Of course, you know the consequences of not being able to outplay it. It can swallow a cow in one bite, and the twisting force of the snake's body is beyond your imagination."
Luo Yan could already feel numbness on her fingertips. She wondered if it was mammals' natural fear of snakes. Even though they were so far away, she felt short of breath.
As expected, Zhao Pei's mouth curled up casually, his dark eyes darkened, and he put the sharp blade in her hand.
"I'm afraid it's a normal reaction. This one is considered small. There are dense forests over there, so it will only be scarier than this one. It doesn't matter if you can't do it, just stay at the headquarters..."
"I can." A clear but firm voice came.
Lowering her eyes, the woman took the sharp blade, looked directly at the black cage, suppressed the fear in her heart, and stepped forward.
Zhao Pei's eyes flashed, and he saw that she was walking faster and faster, and she had the momentum to fight to the death with that thing.
Cursing secretly in his heart, he rushed up to hug her and brought her over, "Crazy! How can there be a woman as stubborn as you who is not afraid of death!"
Just because of what this dagger could do to that thing, she thought she was a hero in a fantasy novel.
The body of a python is so hard and smooth that ordinary daggers cannot hurt it at all.
He just wanted to scare her and make her retreat, but he didn't expect that she was not afraid of death.
"No, I'm afraid of death now." Luo Yan whispered.
She was really not afraid of death before, but now, no one cares about life as much as she does.
Looking at her fair and beautiful face, Zhao Pei felt a fire in his heart and a cold feeling in his heart. He just stopped and took her out of the water prison without saying anything.
"Since you are determined to go, we will act together next week. You can stay with me during this period and there is no need to go back."
"yes."
With a few words, the man left, and Luo Yan was led to his residence.
The moonlight is bright tonight, and from time to time there is the rumble of cars at the training ground far away from the headquarters, and someone is training.
Her heartbeat had long since returned to calmness. Looking at the full moon, she raised the corners of her mouth and slowly exhaled.
She knew from the beginning that Zhao Pei would not let her face that thing directly, and it was pointless to do so, so she went along with the show.
At night, the moonlight streamed into her window. The accommodation conditions at the headquarters were very good. The temperature here was high and it was hot at night. She opened the window and felt dazed while enjoying the night wind full of vegetation.
He raised his right hand, and the clear jade bracelet glowed with jade in the moonlight. He put his hand on his chest, and his chest felt slightly warm.
A month has passed. How is Qi Si doing?
Unable to resist, I took my phone again and flipped through his photo in the photo album.
Fortunately, she had taken some photos before, and when she looked at the man's handsome facial features, her eyes widened and her chest suddenly opened up.
Every time I see him, I feel better.
She had thrown away the phone card from Hua Guo, and now she could only look at the man's photo like this.
As she watched, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed again.
【Marriage is not a child's play.】
Since our separation, this sentence has popped into my head from time to time.
Even though he knew rationally that it was perfectly fine to answer this question from his point of view, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart and felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
After all, no matter how polite a rejection is, it is still a rejection.
There was such a beautiful moonlight a month ago. There was a crabapple tree by the window at that time, but my mood was completely different.
Lishang Sidu.
The man in front of him had drunk a lot of wine, but his face was as cold and pale as usual.
Mu Xiuze saw this and not only refused to dissuade him, but also calmly offered him a refill.
Knowing that this person was very taciturn and could express his emotions and anger, Xu Qingchan had been away for so long and would never mention it in front of anyone except sending people to look for her.
After more than a month, I heard from Jing Feng that his insomnia had become serious again. Knowing that his condition was not good, Mu Xiuze finally asked him out.
You will get sick if you hold it in for too long.
After drinking for three rounds, he deliberately sighed and said: "This Xu Qingchan seems to be gentle and courteous, but he is so irresponsible and willful. He left without saying a word. In my opinion, this is inappropriate."
It’s better for girls who know the basics to divide it up as soon as possible.”
After he finished speaking, the man opposite him raised his eyes, his eyes filled with ink that could not be removed, and he looked at him displeased.
"What do you know?" Qi Si said coolly.
"It's her fault. Aren't you also very angry with her?"
There was silence for a long time. The man lowered his eyes and shook the liquid in the cup, his eyes seemed unclear.
"That night," Qi Si's voice was hoarse with alcohol, and his thin lips were slightly raised, "she asked me if I wanted to marry her."
Mu Xiuze's originally calm expression was stunned.
"What?"
Xu Qingchan actually asked such a question.
Sensing the crisis almost instinctively, he asked: "What about you? How did you answer?"
Thinking of the woman's slightly narrowed eyes at that time, it felt like a spark had fallen in the pit of her heart, making her feel hot.
The Adam's apple rolled up, and Qi Si's pronunciation was slightly hoarse, "Marriage is not a child's play."
Mu Xiuze took a breath and looked at him with slightly parted lips.
After a long time, he said: "You don't want to marry her?"
Qi Si pursed his thin lips tightly.
"Even if you haven't planned to get married yet, you can't say that it's child's play for others to want to get married. Can't you think about it?"
"She is a girl and asked you if you want to get married. Do you think it was just a casual question after being drunk? Do you know what it means?"
"She is proposing to you."
Qi Si raised his eyes suddenly.
"How much courage does it take for a girl to dare to ask you, but you think she is talking nonsense after being drunk."
Proposal?
Proposal.
These two words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing on the top of the head, making one's throat feel tight.
The man's knuckles curled up unconsciously, thinking of her charming but vulnerable smile at that time.
How much courage do you have to muster up...
"If you reject her proposal, she will remember it for the rest of her life, and she will never have that kind of courage again."
Thinking of something, Mu Xiuze looked at him and said, "She proposed to you, which means she wants to stay. It was you who cut off her retreat and thoughts. This may have been the straw that broke the camel's back."
