Following the middle-aged man's gaze, Gu Chen discovered that there was a container sitting on a gentle spot on the mountainside.
To be precise, this is an assembled mobile house with doors and windows.
There are some wooden boxes placed at the door, which should be material supplies from the surveying and mapping company.
Looking at the underwear fluttering in the wind between the mobile house and the big tree, Gu Chen knew that these people had been surveying this area for a long time.
Zhao Kai seemed to notice Gu Chen's curiosity and said with a faint smile: "I have been living in this mobile house in the six months since I graduated."
"You live here?" Gu Chen looked at Zhao Kai curiously and said lightly: "That place looks very small."
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs." Zhao Kai said with a smile while packing up his surveying and mapping equipment: "People who have been engaged in field surveying may think it is nothing."
"After all, the work during the day is very simple, such as climbing mountains, setting out, setting up instruments, and measuring. These are all daily routines."
After closing the zipper of the instrument in the packaging bag, Zhao Kai lifted up the luggage bag: "By the way, once I finish running the red circles on the planning map, I can pack my things and go to the next place."
"You mean... resign?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." Zhao Kai nodded silently: "Those who can stay here are all masters. In contrast, the most difficult thing is actually at night, especially... when there is only 2G signal on the mobile phone."
"Then I wish you good luck." Gu Chen didn't know why Zhao Kai told him so much?
In other words, is it because he seems to be more approachable? That's why Zhao Kai complained to himself?
After all, being manipulated by others, earning a low salary, and enjoying endless loneliness may be the inner struggle of Zhao Kai, who has just graduated.
But people are often so contradictory. They can vent freely physically, but dare not vent freely psychologically.
"Gu Chen." After everyone rested briefly on the mountainside, Bai Xiaolan took out a bottle of water from the mule's bamboo basket and handed it to him.
"Thank you." Gu Chen took the water and asked Bai Xiaolan: "Do you know how long it took to survey the terrain here?"
"I don't know." Bai Xiaolan drank the mineral water in her hand and shook her head: "The exploration team here has been exploring for a long time."
"According to some information I received before, I heard that there may be a mine in this area, but I don't know what it is exactly."
Looking at Zhao Kai returning to the mobile house, Bai Xiaolan added: "But whether there are mines here has nothing to do with the relocation of these villagers. Even the 2G signal here is very weak, so it is not cost-effective to lay a signal tower here."
"So...the villagers here are out of touch with the times?" Gu Chen asked.
Bai Xiaolan nodded silently: "More or less, they are all elderly people. It is difficult for the working group to work with them. You still have to go to the police."
"No problem." Gu Chen looked up at the mountain and asked with a smile: "It shouldn't be far, right?"
"I heard it will take half an hour to walk like this." Bai Xiaolan said.
Wu Jun on the side calculated the time and suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "Then hurry up and go up and down the mountain early. I think the weather today is not very good and it may rain later."
"Okay." Officer Wang stood up from the lawn and urged Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha: "Hurry up."
Everyone led the mules and continued to drive up the mountain.
Came to the village at 11 a.m. and did ideological work with the left-behind villagers.
Coupled with the TV station's charitable fund support, most villagers expressed their willingness to accept relocation.
Everyone immediately distributed red envelopes of donations to the villagers.
All the filming was not as difficult as imagined, and the villagers still have considerable trust in the police.
A few warm-hearted villagers even wanted to persuade everyone to have lunch at home before leaving.
However, they were all rejected by Gu Chen’s team and Bai Xiaolan.
Everyone wants to go down the mountain early...
The sky in this area is constantly changing.
It was still sunny before, but suddenly, when everyone was about to lead the mules down the mountain, the whole sky seemed to have changed its expression, and suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Speed up the pace." Officer Wang, who was walking at the front, kept urging everyone.
However, after all, it was a hike, and Bai Xiaolan's physical strength was the weakest in the entire team. Climbing back and forth up and down the mountain had exhausted Bai Xiaolan's physical strength, and her walking was extremely slow.
In order to ensure that everyone did not fall behind, Gu Chen walked at the end, and together with Lu Weiwei, supported Bai Xiaolan along the way.
"It won't work like this. It looks like there will be a heavy rain soon." After careful assessment, photographer Wu Jun said: "Why don't we go to the exploration team on the mountainside to take a rest and take shelter from the rain, otherwise the equipment will be damaged."
"There is no other choice." Officer Wang looked at Bai Xiaolan behind him and said with disappointment: "With Bai Xiaolan's physique, she will probably have to ride a mule down the mountain later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky.
Everyone looked at the sky in unison.
"Xiaolan, hurry up." Gu Chen turned around and urged.
"I can't, I can't." Bai Xiaolan waved her hands and said exhaustedly: "I twisted my foot when I was going down the mountain. Now my ankle keeps hurting. I can't walk fast, so why don't you go first."
"What are you talking about? Why did we leave you alone in the mountains?" Lu Weiwei said angrily. She walked directly in front of Bai Xiaolan and said with her back to Bai Xiaolan: "Come up, I will carry you."
"I'll do it." Gu Chen also made the same move.
Bai Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, hating her legs for not living up to expectations.
Although I thought the mountain road would be rough, I didn't expect that I would sprain my ankle.
I didn't dare to say it just now, but now it's about to rain heavily, and I have become a dragster again. Bai Xiaolan feels aggrieved for a while.
But Gu Chen was willing to betray someone, and Bai Xiaolan couldn't refuse, so she could only say gratefully: "Thank you very much, Gu Chen."
The group of people continued to walk forward, and it started to rain sporadicly.
Gu Chen drank two cans of energy drinks before carrying someone on his back. At this moment, his steps felt like wind. Bai Xiaolan, who was carrying less than 50 kilograms on his back, was also walking quickly, surpassing Officer Wang and Wu Jun in a few clicks.
"My God, this Gu Chen's physical strength is so good." Wu Jun has never seen such an operation before. How can he still run while carrying someone?
Officer Wang was not surprised and said with a faint smile: "It's nothing. I went with him to the mountains to look for a lost little girl before. He was also like this, walking as fast as flying."
"I chased him for several kilometers and couldn't catch up with him. You know how good this guy is at running. Anyway, in terms of physical strength, Gu Chen has never lost to anyone."
"Then let's not wait around. Let's hurry up." Wu Jun took the stupid mule and kept pulling it forward.
Gu Chen was the first to arrive at the mountainside...
At this moment, the light rain has fallen sporadically, and a red flag is erected outside the door of the mobile house.
Gu Chen saw Zhao Kai standing at the door from a distance...
"Come in and take shelter from the rain. Noodles are being cooked inside. Do you want to join us?" Zhao Kai stepped aside and asked.
"Thank you, we've already had lunch." Gu Chen put down Bai Xiaolan and took a look inside the house.
In addition to the middle-aged man I saw outside just now, there is also a man similar to Zhao Kai's age.
The two of them were sitting together, with several bottles of beer on the table.
Seeing someone coming outside, the middle-aged man stood up directly and waved: "Comrade police, come in and sit down."
"Thank you." Gu Chen let Bai Xiaolan and Lu Weiwei go into the room first, while he took an umbrella to meet photographer Wu Jun.
Help Wu Jun safely transport the equipment back to the mobile board room.
Everyone complained about the weather and made various complaints.
Gu Chen also saw several packed luggage in the house, then turned around and asked Zhao Kai at the door: "Who is leaving?"
"The two of them." Zhao Kai, who was leaning at the door, couldn't help but glance at the two people in the room, and said with regret: "It doesn't matter, I'm just staying here alone, and I don't even have a high temperature subsidy. I really don't know what else to do."
What can I say."
It seems that Zhao Kai can only prove that he has enough things and earn respectability in the eyes of others by making himself look like he doesn't care about everything.
At this moment, the other two men also carried their luggage, put on their raincoats, and walked to the door to say goodbye to everyone.
The middle-aged man patted Zhao Kai on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhao, I will trouble you these days."
"Don't leave in a hurry, stay here for a few days, the air here is so nice." Zhao Kai said with a smile.
"No." The middle-aged man waved his hand, then pointed to a corner in the room and said, "These are enough for you to eat for a while. There are a few bottles of wine in the box behind. I'll leave them for you. Come on."
Patting Zhao Kai on the shoulder, the middle-aged man followed the young man, took his luggage, and disappeared into the hazy rain while wearing a raincoat.
"Yes." Wu Jun looked around for a week and said with a smile: "Now that your companion has left, this place has become our territory, and you have a new partner, brother."
"Alas!" Zhao Kai knew Wu Jun was joking, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "When will this day end?"
Returning to the mobile cabin, Zhao Kai sat on his bed, looked at Gu Chen and said jokingly:
“In the evaluation form for the first quarter after joining the company, in order not to affect my future promotion, I chose ‘no’ in the column ‘Do I need to transfer’.”
"After all, what I'm more afraid of than my inner anxiety and dissatisfaction is other people's evaluation and vision. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"A little bit." Gu Chen also told the truth and said: "Since you don't like to stay, then mention it. How will others know if you don't mention it?"
"Forget it, I asked for it this time. Even if I change my unit, it's still the same. I'm still the same coward."
After all, Gu Chen was an outsider, so Zhao Kai had many things that he would not tell his colleagues in the unit.
Now that I see Gu Chen, I can't wait to reveal all the loneliness and depression I've been feeling these days.
"In fact, in front-line construction units, it is normal to work all year round, and it is also an established rule for newcomers to stay behind during the Spring Festival."
"You never take a break while working?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhao Kai smiled lightly: "Absolutely. It wasn't until the first two months that I took leave because of acute gastroenteritis."
"The leader was also very forthcoming and asked me to pay more attention to my health."
"But that time, I didn't go to the hospital or go home. Instead, I bought a bus ticket overnight and called my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Lu Weiwei looked at Zhao Kai in front of her and said with interest: "Logically speaking, for someone like you who never takes a vacation when working, your girlfriend should have run away long ago, and she's in a different place, right?"
Lu Weiwei knows what long-distance relationship means to Zhao Kai.
Especially for a newcomer like him who has been exploring outdoors for a long time, it seems even more weird.
The most important thing is that he has a girlfriend.
Zhao Kai was also quite helpless and said: "We dated my girlfriend when I was in college. In fact, it was okay. I bought the ticket that day and called her. I told her, let's go to the beach to stay for a few days. I want to go to her city.
Stay for a few days.”
"What's your girlfriend's reaction?" Photographer Wu Jun asked while drinking. He felt that exploring human privacy was a very exciting thing.
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "She asked me, didn't I always say that I couldn't get leave?"
"But I didn't say much. I told her not to mention this and just pack her luggage. I told her that I had already bought the ticket."
"But why do you have to go to the beach?" Yuan Shasha, who was inside the house, saw everyone sitting around the door and quickly came over to ask.
"As for why we have to go to the beach?" Zhao Kai lowered his head and smiled: "I explained to my girlfriend at the time that normal people like you wouldn't understand."
"After all, a soul like mine that has been suppressed for a long time can only be saved by the vast sea."
"But in the end it was not the sea that comforted me, but the first pub I entered after getting off the train."
After looking at everyone, Zhao Kai added: "That's right, I went drinking with my girlfriend. When I finished my second glass of cold beer, the resident singer adjusted the chords."
"Although I don't know what he is singing, when a person is caught by a certain emotion, no matter what he listens to, it will be like his own theme song."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Kai seemed to compare the mobile house to a tavern, and also boasted: "Looking at the tourists in groups under the light, pay attention to their faces
With his relaxed expression, I suddenly had the illusion that I was released from prison after serving my sentence.”
"I won't go back. This is what I said to my girlfriend at the time."
"But aren't you back again?" Gu Chen said.
Zhao Kai smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, but I really didn't want to go back at that time."
"Later, my girlfriend and I left the tavern and went to the beach together."
"When I finally stood on the beach, with the salty sea breeze blowing on my face, I repeated these words again."
"But I know that the resignation process will not go smoothly, because in addition to the mandatory 'liquidated damages', another surprise is the reaction from the leadership."
"I know he will say that if you are unhappy at work, you can just mention it in the evaluation form. As long as you strongly request it, the company will still arrange for you to be transferred to another job or something like that."
"Actually, there are some things I should have said a long time ago, but I didn't dare. I was cowardly."
"But it's not in that evaluation form, it's in this resignation letter that has been delayed."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhao Kai smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because sometimes people are always stupid, stupid enough to pursue dignity and leave a good impression in unsuitable positions."
"Perhaps you will only discover when you leave that the so-called decency is just a loss of decency, and the good impression left behind will most likely be unimpressive."
Gu Chen nodded silently: "You are right, any opportunity will only be reserved for those who want it very much."
"Yeah." Zhao Kai nodded and said, "In the days when I first came to Jiangnan City, I often reminded myself of this sentence."
"So after I asked for leave that time, I spent two days playing at the beach. I panicked that my condition was not getting better, so I asked for a few more days off."
"But I haven't been idle these days. I started looking for a job and going for interviews. I want to stay in my girlfriend's city."
"And every time after I went for an interview at my favorite company, I would write down the anger of being slighted and the ugliness of being rejected in a memo on my phone. It was so difficult."
"You should be studying civil engineering, right? It would be difficult to find a corresponding job in a coastal area." Gu Chen also gave his own opinion directly.
Lu Weiwei also echoed: "The service industry is mainly developed in coastal areas. If you want to stay in the city, you must find a job in the service industry, otherwise being with your girlfriend is just empty talk."
"Uh, what you said is too absolute, right?" Officer Wang glanced at Zhao Kai and asked him: "Then what kind of job are you looking for? Is it the right person?"
Zhao Kai smiled and shook his head: "I thought so at the time, but as soon as I went to the job market for an interview, I was told by the other party that my work had no reference value at all, because they are a public account company, and many authors started in college.
Cultivated.”
After laughing twice, Zhao Kai laughed at himself and said: "I have to say that these negative energies are really hard on people, but this sense of shame can also keep people awake."
"After all, whether you are studying an unfamiliar major or filling the gaps in your past works with current writing, it is something that requires perseverance in order to sustain it."
"But I also gained something. An interviewer told me that although we might not necessarily become colleagues, she believed that with my personality, I would be able to live well no matter where I am."
"So?" Gu Chen asked.
"So?" Zhao Kai smiled lightly: "So living a good life is really tiring, because you not only have to do the things in front of you, but you also have to anticipate future bottlenecks in advance. But in this era of sales anxiety,
People rarely have the opportunity to be surrounded by love and slowly grow stronger."
"Therefore, it would be more practical to find ways to utilize negative energy, and the criterion for measuring 'utilization' and 'being utilized' is not the current emotion, but the subsequent efforts."
"So, the next time I feel sad, ashamed, or angry, I won't let this energy flow away with tears."
"After all, the meaning of energy is not positive or negative, but that it allows you to move forward."
"I stumbled and thought for a long time, and finally thought of last year's annual meeting. Looking at the data and bonuses that appeared on the screen, I couldn't escape the law of true fragrance."
Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and asked him: "But before I went up the mountain, didn't you tell me that you wanted to leave?"
"Yes." Zhao Kai said undeniably: "I said that I want to leave, but I just want to leave here. I have already contacted a corresponding company, and it is in the city of my girlfriend."
"So as a condition for leaving, I must stand here for the last time and continue to accompany the 2G signal."
Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhao Kai smiled lightly and said, "But I can meet you here, and I can finally find someone to talk to. Otherwise, it would be really boring to keep company with birds and beasts every day."
"Well, I always thought that people who do surveying and mapping can't find girlfriends." Wu Jun said with deep feeling.
However, Bai Xiaolan retorted: "No, working on the construction site is hard, but if you work hard, the salary is still quite high."
"It's just setting out in the wild, climbing mountains and crossing rivers, every day, all year round. I can't accept this. It's mainly because it's too boring. I can make do with it, but I'm not willing to accept it, right Gu Chen?"
Bai Xiaolan said for a long time, then turned to look at Gu Chen.
"That's right." Gu Chen had never experienced this, and of course it was not easy to make an evaluation, so he could only say perfunctorily:
"If you must show all your strength to others to maintain your dignity, then you can expose your vulnerability in front of the people you love. Life may be difficult, but the people who love you will definitely treat your vulnerability well.
"
Looking at Zhao Kai, Gu Chen encouraged: "I support you."
"Thank you." Zhao Kai nodded slightly.
At this moment, the dark clouds dissipated and sunshine appeared in the whole sky again.
On a big tree near the mobile house, birds taking shelter from the rain began to appear on the treetops.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Comrade police, do you know? If I don't leave here, I'm afraid I will have feelings for the birds here."
"So exaggerated?" Lu Weiwei also didn't know why.
"Of course." Zhao Kai said with a smile: "I'm not bragging to you, I have rescued a bird with beautiful feathers here before, and I really don't want it to leave me, but it has wings and I don't."
"On the day of the release, it flew three times around the mobile house. At that time, I was thinking that I am probably not an ordinary person, haha, eh."
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Zhao Kai added: "You... you may not understand, but there once was a bird that flew three times for me."
After saying this, Zhao Kai's eyes suddenly became wet and he choked up involuntarily: "It's so difficult for me. I hate that I have no ability and am just a college student who has just graduated."
"I have nothing and no experience. It is too difficult to find a counterpart company in the coastal areas. I feel that if this continues, my girlfriend and I will break up sooner or later."
"Zhao Kai." Gu Chen also patted him on the shoulder and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, aren't you leaving soon? Just hold on for a few more days, and then go to your girlfriend's city. The two of us can't fight together.
Is that okay?”
"Yeah." Zhao Kai also nodded fiercely, then turned around and entered the house, took out the few bottles of beer left in the carton, and opened them with a bottle opener.
Then Zhao Kai took some cups and poured beer into them.
Looking at Gu Chen at the door, Zhao Kai raised his glass and said, "Comrade police, come and have a drink with me. It's boring to stay here alone."
"But I'm at work, so I can't drink." Gu Chen refused directly.
But Bai Xiaolan on the side said: "It's okay, Gu Chen, just drink some with him and see if he gets bored. After we leave, he may have to count the stars every night to relieve his fatigue."
"Yes." Photographer Wu Jun also said: "This young man is already strong enough. He is very similar to the helpless state I was in when I first graduated. This is how my ex-girlfriend separated from me. Gu Chen, please accompany him
Have a drink, it’s okay, we won’t tell you.”
Gu Chen still shook his head and refused: "I can't drink. This is the principle. Why don't Teacher Wu accompany him to drink while I drink."
"Uh...that's okay." Seeing that he couldn't persuade Gu Chen, Wu Jun had no choice but to give up.
Several people returned to the mobile cabin...
At this moment, the room was in a mess. After Zhao Kai's other two workers left, the whole room seemed to have been ransacked.
Gu Chen suddenly saw a group photo beside Zhao Kai's bed.
