"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, but I haven't reached the point where I want the waves behind to hit the beach." After murmuring, Bai Yi felt a little unhappy.
"I know you don't want to submit to old age, but young people have grown up and our era has come to an end. You have to accept it even if you don't accept it, right?"
Knowing why Bai Yi was so brooding about this matter, Mr. Zhao smiled lightly.
"Every era will end and every era will begin. We have completed the tasks of our era. Next, it is time to abdicate. Don't you think Emperor Ye and the others are very qualified?"
"You said that I am about to be buried. I am only forty-five this year!"
"At the age of forty-five, half of your life has passed, right? It's time to enjoy yourself. There's no point in fighting with young people."
As soon as Mr. Zhao said these words, Bai Yi fell silent.
Although he was unwilling to admit many facts, as time passed, he had to admit that his era had come to an end.
In the past, I had lived through my youthful years, and had shed blood and sweat in this Lop Nur. Now more than twenty years have passed. I used to be the sun that was born early, but now it has gradually set. I am unwilling to accept it, but I have to face it.
Reality.
"Old man, do you think I'm really old?"
"As long as your heart is not old, you will be young! However, there are some things that really don't require our intervention any more. Our younger generations will do better than us."
"Speaking of which, my era has ended faster than yours. Fortunately, the country has not treated me as useless. At least I can watch you young people climb the peak step by step from a mountain that is not too high.
.”
"Seriously, Bai Yi, it's a good thing to always be disobedient. You can maintain your mentality, but your body's functions will not wait for you to stay young. When you are past middle age, it's time for you to find a wife and have children."
Mr. Zhao has always regarded Bai Yi, who has been with him for more than 20 years, as his own. Even if Bai Yi, the eldest boss, always makes fun of him, he is tolerant to the greatest extent.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and the once-chasing boy's gray hair has climbed onto his forehead, and the traces of time have eroded that face and is covered with traces of time.
"Having children? Old man, when did you become so vulgar?"
"Vulgar taste? Boy, having children is the order of the world. Now you feel carefree and happy alone. When you get older, you will understand the loneliness of being alone."
"Besides, at least I'm not old yet."
Taking a long breath, Bai Yi sighed softly and stretched his muscles.
"To be honest, these two boys are indeed good prospects. Not only are they very perceptive, but they are also very capable. Old man, aren't you afraid that they will surpass us and lose control when the time comes?"
"After all, there has been a precedent before this."
The reason why Bai Yi said this was not to be alarmist. From the very beginning when he decided to give Ye Huang and Chu Tiange special training, he remembered something that happened to Long Yan.
Twenty-five years ago, when Bai Yi first entered Long Yan, there was a defection incident within Long Yan.
The first candidate among the top three candidates of Long Yan defected from Long Yan and joined the Dark Holy See. He has done many revengeful things against Hua Xia and Long Yan over the years.
Bai Yi knew that this matter had always been a thorn in Mr. Zhao's heart, so he never mentioned it.
"Long Yan is an organization, not a sect. God has followers who betray him, let alone an organization."
"Don't worry, anyone can rebel, and they won't do it because their roots are in China."
Seeing Bai Yi asking himself this, Mr. Zhao turned sideways and answered with a confident and calm smile.
"A Ye family, a Chu family, plus their experiences, what reason do you think they have to give up everything in front of them?"
"Let's go, it's time to start the next step of special training. I wonder if Hoh Xil, known as the place of death, can stop them."
With that said, Mr. Zhao walked towards Ye Huang and Chu Tiange who were still devouring food in the distance.
In two days, they crossed the Taklimakan. Although Mr. Zhao allowed them to activate their inner strength this time, the two of them almost died of exhaustion.
After resting for an hour and wolfing down some food to replenish their strength, the two finally felt that the aching bodies were theirs.
"Brother, do you think the old man will let us complete the crossing in one day? ***, these past two days, I feel like the internal energy in my body is being drained."
After taking a sip of water and stuffing the last piece of naan into his mouth, Chu Tiange asked Ye Huang.
"Probably not. The special training plan formulated by the old man was carried out just at the edge of our endurance. Crossing Taklimakan in one day, a thousand kilometers away, even if we ignore the quicksand, strong winds and complex meteorological conditions on the way, it would not be possible.
It's possible to complete it, even if you activate the Qi throughout the whole process, not to mention that neither you nor I can do this."
"It's true, given us two days, I almost lost my life. Brother, you said that the two of us are almost like the leader of the beggar's gang. If we go back and put a plate on the street, maybe we can beg for it.
It doesn’t matter how much you pay.”
Perhaps it was because of his tense nerves these past few days. Although Chu Tiange wanted to make a joke, when he spoke, his chapped lips moved up and down, making him grin every time.
When they ate naan bread just now, both he and his elder brother swallowed almost a mouthful of naan bread, a mouthful of sand, ice-cold water and blood on their lips.
"You have the skills, so let's take a good rest. This special training is only halfway through, and we will suffer later."
Smiling, Ye Huang reached out and poured some water into his hand, and carefully wet his lips.
It's not that he doesn't want to wash his face, but that food and water have been restricted by Mr. Zhao and Bai Yi from the beginning. If he washes his face, there will be no water to drink, and he will be thirsty until the next ration.
In the desert, people can survive without food for several days, but if they don't drink water for several days, there is only one way to die, even if the two of them rest in ancient martial arts.
Seeing Ye Huang moistening his lips, Chu Tiange also imitated the practice of soaking some water, and carefully moistened some of the chapped lips. Severe pain ripped at the nerve endings, and the latter's facial expression was distorted by the pain.
After finishing eating, the two carefully put away the remaining food and water, as if they were collecting treasures with a careful and cautious attitude.
After they finished doing this, Mr. Zhao and Bai Yi also came over.
Seeing the two people coming, Ye Huang and Chu Tiange immediately got up.
Since they did not meditate to recover, the two of them had only recovered a little physical strength at this moment, standing in a shaky and almost falling posture in the strong wind.
