Hearing what he said, Anna and Chen Qian unconsciously turned their attention to Xu Da, obviously wanting to consult him, a local, for his opinion.
Seeing several people looking at him, Xu Da hesitated for a moment and said: "I haven't been back for a while. The security in the village is not bad, but it may be a little more aggressive towards outsiders. It's relatively early now, so..."
Seeing that he couldn't give a specific result, Ross had already taken the lead and walked at the front, holding his blue suitcase with one hand and trying to help Anna carry things with the other. After being rejected, he still laughed and said: "Ladies,
Don't worry, I, Rose, will be the flower protector!"
Xu Da seemed to be quite reassured about the security situation in his village, and he took steps forward.
Therefore, the remaining two girls naturally had no choice but to follow.
There is a huge difference between the dirt roads in the countryside and the cement paved roads in the city.
Not only is it rugged, but there are also sharp rocks and trees, varying in hardness and softness. It is difficult to grasp the depth and texture of the footing when you step on it, so it is extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately for Ross and Xu Da, one was wearing sail shoes and the other was wearing leather shoes. It was hard for the two girls wearing boots. The shoes with a high heel height were not suitable for walking on this kind of road, and there were few opportunities to walk on this road.
The village road had no ups and downs at all. It was quite hard for a while. I didn't even speak. I just stared at the road with all my heart, and I was careful that I sprained my feet.
Ross seemed to be in a good mood. As he walked, he also boasted about some of his "extraordinary" experiences, saying: "...You two ladies, walking on such a small road at this time is not unfamiliar to me. I am here
When I was in New York, I once went to cover underground slums in the middle of the night. The environment there was really—unbelievably bad as you can imagine!… Once we were robbed by two black men and a white man. They had knives in their hands.
I was not afraid and rushed forward! The police station later wanted to grant me the title of honorary citizen, but I declined..."
Of course, the two girls only believed his words, and the more they listened, the more they felt that they were very serious. But the more honest Xu Da believed it, and kept asking some of the details. Rose was so happy that he was foaming at the mouth, and the sky was full of excitement.
"Ross, is the security situation there very poor?"
"...It's not that bad. In some places, it's just like yours. When you're poor, you get messy. Do you understand?"
"Can you really fight three people by yourself?"
"I'm kidding, I practiced karate since I was a child. By the time I was in college, I was already a blue belt - do you know what a blue belt is? That's not something ordinary people can get! It's not difficult to deal with a few thieves. Why, do you want the two of us to try it out?
try?"
"No need, I don't know how to fight. I didn't expect your interviews to be so hard and dangerous."
"Of course, only dedicated and brave journalists like me would do this. Some people would also sit at their computer desks and piece together materials. How about that? If there is any important information in the past two days, please tell me as soon as possible.
Do I, know?..."
…
Two men were walking in front. The conversation got further and further.
The two girls walked more carefully and slowly, and as they gradually became familiar with the road conditions, they began to chat.
Maybe it's because both of them are principled and courageous people, and the two of them have a good impression of each other. After chatting for a while, the two of them became familiar with each other's basic situation and called each other by their first names.
Anna smiled and said: "Chen Qian, I have read some of your articles before. The views are relatively novel. The reports are objective and I like them very much."
Chen Qian said happily: "Really? Thank you! In fact, it is very annoying every time, because it is not easy to go to the scene to get first-hand materials. After coming back to organize and edit, it is even more difficult to publish it completely! Readers may have different opinions after it is published.
The reaction... Anna, it would be better for you to be in school, where the students are simple and love you, how good it is!"
Anna said: "The school also has its own rules and restrictions. Sometimes I want to take the students out to participate in some public activities, but they are not allowed!"
Chen Qian asked curiously: "Who else in the school needs to approve it? Can't you just go secretly?"
As a maverick, she also hates the various rules and pressures that are bound to her every time she takes action, so she feels the same way.
Anna shook her head and said: "I used to do this often, but last time I was stopped by a section chief of the Security Department. That time I wanted to invite an American soldier to explain the American military service system to the students. The section chief said that in the future,
Anyone who invites public figures to the school must obtain approval from his department!"
Chen Qian said angrily: "How unreasonable! A section chief can be so arrogant... What, the section chief of the Security Department, his surname is Chen?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that Chen Yu, who had "blocked" her interviews many times and had an unusually close relationship with Zhu Zhi, who was "harassing" her all day long, asked in confusion.
"Yes, his name is Chen Yu, do you know him?" Anna asked in surprise.
"I know you," Chen Qian showed a rare complex smile and pursed her lips. "If it weren't for him, I would have had many more exciting press releases!"
Anna suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that there was a kidnapping case in our school last time, and Section Chief Chen heroically saved the girl involved?"
Chen Qian said disdainfully: "Hmph, they say it's a hero saving a beauty, but I think there's an ulterior motive!"
After several interactions, although she couldn't say she was disgusted, she did feel resentful about Chen Yu's uncooperative attitude. When she heard Anna's complimentary words, she couldn't help but sarcastically speak out.
"Chen Qian, no matter what his purpose was, I think he did a very competent job. To be able to drive alone to chase two robbers with guns is to risk your life!" Anna retorted.
"He is not alone. He also brings a school beauty with him! You don't know, he is a very perverted person. Did you hear about the school beauty contest in our province last time? This Section Chief Chen is alone.
I have a good relationship with the top three girls in that competition!" Chen Qian has been immersed in the news reporting industry for a long time. Although she is not very interested in entertainment gossip, she knows a lot of gossip after hearing and seeing it. Now she holds
Dissatisfied with Chen Yu, he poured it out like beans.
But Anna didn't seem to care, she just smiled and said: "That should be proof that there are many girls who like him!"
Chen Qian asked in confusion: "He blocked your teaching activities, but you didn't seem angry, and you quite appreciated him?"
Anna said: "I just think that he is a reasonable person, a person who performs his duties very well, has courage and charm, isn't he?"
Chen Qian's eyes widened and she said, "Anna, could it be that you - like him?"
Anna chuckled and said: "Chen Qian, you are really good at joking! Just because you have a good impression doesn't mean you like her. And I think that relationships should be put after career. Isn't that the same for you?"
"That's because you haven't met the person you're attracted to yet, or you haven't noticed it yet!" Chen Qian said with great experience.
"Then...have you met?" Anna didn't mean to be tit-for-tat, she just asked curiously.
Chen Qian suddenly remembered Zhu Zhi's not-so-handsome face, shook her head and said, "There is one person who is annoying!"
Anna said: "I remember, both in our country and in China, they all believe that love and hate can be converted... Hee hee!"
Chen Qian said: "Okay, Anna, you are laughing at me! - I don't have your charm. For someone to chase you across the ocean, tsk tsk!"
Anna shook her head and glanced at Ross, as if she didn't want to comment.
Chen Qian suddenly seemed to understand something, nodded and said: "Indeed, if compared with him, Chen Yu still has some merits!"
…
While talking and walking, Ross and Xu Da had already walked more than 20 meters ahead.
There is a turning intersection just ahead. From here, there is only a forest, and the road to the right looks like it suddenly disappeared in front of it.
After a while, Ross and his wife took a step forward, and their figures disappeared from their sight unknowingly. When they finished speaking, they realized that there was no one in front of them.
The night wind blows, the moonlight is hazy, and the shadows of the trees are dancing, but at this time, people feel a faint chill. (To be continued...)
