The author has something to say: It may take two days to update it. I’m sorry for the poor writing, but I found out that there are many typos in this chapter, and they have been corrected.

8:00 am South territory, small towns

The south is always green. Even in winter, there are still green leaves with withered yellow patches on the trees along the street, which are shattered by the cold wind.But the ground is still "fiery red" and it is very lively. Not long after the New Year's Eve, it will soon be the New Year's Eve again.

You have to prepare everything for the couplet firecrackers. This kind of small town is more "human" than the first-tier cities-all the firecrackers used for the New Year are real "entities" and not the smokeless and tasteless electronic firecrackers in big cities.Couplets and "blessings" are also built one layer a year.

A man wearing a peaked cap came out of a small building, looked around for a while, and then bought a newspaper from a street stall. To be precise, it should be a collection of stories. There are few serious things on it, almost all of them are Various folk tales.

The peaked cap stands under the street lamp, it is still morning, although the sun is not blocked, but it is still behind a row of buildings.In fact, this kind of weather is the most comfortable temperature in winter. Although it is still a bit cold, at least there is still sunshine, and there is no biting cold wind to help.

He tilted his head casually, and the man's face was exposed, which could even be said to be translucent white, as if he had been working indoors all year round, and it was very likely that he would not go out for a long time without receiving the "care" of the sun.

The aunt who guards the stall beside her is an ordinary middle-aged and elderly person who seems to be a little familiar with everyone.The aunt said skillfully, "Xiao Lan, who are you waiting for?"

The aunt who sets up a stall outside to buy some newspapers and magazines for her livelihood can see this fair-skinned young man almost every morning, and the two of them share half of their names. In fact, she has rarely seen it with her own eyes in her life. When such a person welcomed "Xiaolan" to buy a newspaper for the first time, she almost wondered if their town was about to get rid of poverty.

"Xiaolan" looks to be about 25 years old, even if he is tightly wrapped from head to toe, it can't conceal his aura of not getting close to strangers, and he also has an aura of high intellectuals.This mysterious gentleman seemed to be taking care of her business. He usually came out of the small building behind him to buy a newspaper, and then went back into the building.

With the rapid development of science and technology in the new era, there is naturally something corresponding to the electric fan - a small heating machine.It is quite a portable air conditioner. If Little Red Riding Hood is in this era, it is absolutely impossible to be frozen to death by a match, let alone a middle-aged woman who lives a hundred meters away and is healthy.

This middle-aged woman didn't have any worries when she set up a stall. The only worry was that the number on the passbook was not included, and she could even turn on the heater and tell the "passers-by" parked by the roadside that her parents were short-lived. The story is as exciting as the newspapers she sells.

"A friend of mine is coming to pick me up today." The young man called "Xiao Lan" said.

"I haven't heard you mention any friends?" The aunt asked further, this is the most common way they used to talk - they didn't talk about much, but they could talk all morning.

"You've seen it, the one who walked with me last time." Xiaolan looked at the aunt, with a smile hidden in her eyes.Aunt has always felt that Xiaolan is not as unapproachable as he looks, he should be a very polite and gentle young man.

Just thinking that there are gentle, humble and good-looking aunts among the young men now, when I heard this sentence suddenly, I couldn’t think of what kind of person I left with Xiaolan last time, so I smiled embarrassedly , with a simple and honest look.The eyes that could see Xiaolan quickly bent up and laughed.

——"It's common for you not to remember. There are so many people coming and going every day, and no one can remember a person who has only seen one side or even a back view."

The person who heard it was actually very heartwarming, but on the surface he waved his hands and said, "Hey, don't make excuses for me, I'm just old, my brain is not working well, and I have to go out to set up a stall every day, After closing the stall at night, there is still needlework to do when I go back, my family is idle every day, and the child is not worrying!"

"It's all a burden of happiness." This time, Xiao Lan didn't take her eyes off the newspaper she just bought, she just moved her mouth and said, "In a sense, your life is actually quite happy, and you don't have to worry about it at all. The people in other families are poor, and the family and children are all around, and there are no unavoidable disasters, but life is a little bit harder."

No one could have imagined that a young man who was in high spirits would say such a plain sentence. The aunt snorted casually and agreed with her heart. Just as she was about to start the next topic, the young man in front of her had already put down the newspaper To get into a car.

Before going in, he turned his head and waved his hand at her as farewell.

Then the hand returned to the carriage, and the mechanical car disappeared at the end of the gray road.The wind brought by the wheels blows in from the car window. They are sitting in the front seat. The driver is a rough man with a beard. He just tilted his head slightly to see the road and said: "That group of people..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lan raised his face and said calmly: "Drive first, there is a red light ahead."

"Little traffic policeman, you, a doctoral student, also care about this. I thought you were all walking around in the lab in coats and not asking about worldly affairs." The man held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a flue.

"I don't want to be fined," said the little doctor, who seemed to "do not ask about ordinary things in the world", "Let's take a look when you get to the place, and don't get caught again today."

The man who was driving the car patted the steering wheel, said vaguely with the cigarette in his mouth, "Okay, the little doctor is seated, let's hurry up, lest we miss it today."

After speaking, the black mechanical car left only an afterimage on the road.

Ten minutes later, this speeding mechanical car stopped opposite a small water bar. The people gathered here were still economically well-off people in this town, and they might have squandered all the little money in the family. The prodigal son, which sells not only low-alcohol cocktail drinks, but also high-alcohol content.

The whole water bar is a mixed style, with wooden floors and walls, punk-style decoration, and a dim blue light in the dim light.

There was no one inside. After all, it was only morning, and there was only a bartender who was still wiping wine glasses at the bar, and there were a few customers sitting in blind spots from the door.

They are not in a hurry to go to work. There are no people here who work for others. Most of them are self-employed—all the money they earn can be collected in their own pockets. Naturally, there is no fixed working time. Occasionally, there are people in suits and leather shoes in the morning. It's not surprising to come to the water.

But now the few people in the water bar have attracted Xiaolan's attention. Xiaolan's purpose this time is to see if these people are what he thought, old acquaintances from back then.

The rough man driving the car didn't know why the little boy of their organization, that is, Xiao Lan, made such a strange and unreasonable request to the organization - to use the bus to see his "old friend", and the organization agreed to his request, Send yourself, an "excellent team member", to be this driver.

"This group of people..." In fact, it's not that he doesn't trust Xiaolan. A typical representative of coldness and hotness, and it is said that his ability is not bad. Before he joined the organization, this little boy had already been a manager in the organization.

It also seems to be closely related to other people in the management of the organization.They don't look like they just met because they wanted to form this organization, but like old friends who have known each other for many years.

"It's the leader's friend," Xiaolan said, and just put the blame on the boss, completely ignoring whether the leader's image in the subordinates' minds would be damaged. "The leader should want to see their coach."

"What?" Words related to the military, such as "commander", are rarely heard by men. He grew up here. If it weren't for the war a year ago, his impression of "military" in his life might be in the Soldiers standing bravely in the sun, with pitch-black guns, and bullets that can really kill people.

Generally speaking, it is still too far away, so that when he heard this word, he was stunned for two seconds, and read the few words he had learned in his mind like lightning, and finally automatically translated it into "extremely rustic". of: handsome pig.

Some asked in disbelief: "Is the one more handsome among the pigs?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan looked at him in disbelief, and then said as if remembering something: "No, it's the leader of the army, the commander."

"Ah? Here," the information was so big that it stunned the man. It took him a long time to absorb the "new knowledge" that our leader knew an army commander: "Why is our leader so awesome? He was Isn't it also a handsome pig and a handsome cow?"

",..." Finding that Xiaolan, who was unable to understand the language, did not take up his words, someone who was obviously pretending to be stupid just now lost interest in the sentence, so he had to urge Xiaolan to continue.

"What are you talking about?" Xiaolan was a little puzzled, "There is nothing to talk about. After we confirm again, it is enough not to put them in danger, and don't let them be discovered by others, especially the army guarding the southern border. You should believe me about the leader's order, but if you don't, you can ask after you go back today, and he should tell you all of this, and this time just tells the truth."

"Ah..." The man could hear Xiaolan's words and refused to answer, so he had to end with an unwilling "ah". "Secret" caught his attention.
