"Against the top! Haha, there's no more 2. You guys can't fight anymore. I'll take my leave first!”
"Aiya, it's over. I'm done for.。”
"Hmph, Fatty, don't be arrogant. I was waiting for your hand. I'll explode!”
"Wow, you even hid four threes. Fine, fine, fine. I only have four left.。”
The trains of the 20th century could really make people sick from boredom.
Chu Jian didn't want to participate, but it was too boring. He couldn't sleep, so he could only be pulled by Fatty to play poker.
They didn't give him any money. Whoever lost would have a note on their face.
After ten rounds, Chu Jian kept winning. Fatty and Sha Lipeng's faces were covered in strips, so much so that their noses and eyes were almost invisible.
"Brother Hu, look at them. They're so funny, hehe ~"
"Yes, Fatty has never won a card game. Xiao Sha doesn't know how to play at all. Chu Jian is purely bullying primary school students.”
Hu Payi and Ye Yixin were watching the show from the side. One was gloating while the other was clapping.
"Old Hu, shut up. Let's wait and see.。”
Fatty was shuffling the cards with red eyes when the carriage door was suddenly pushed open.
Xue Liyang, who had her hair draped over her shoulders, leaned against the door and said,"Mr. Hu, please come with me. Professor Chen and I have something to discuss with you.”
"Gulp…"
She was already pretty. Today, she was wearing a small shirt and jeans, outlining her perfect figure. There was a hint of pink inside, and the few old men swallowed their saliva together.
"What? Oh, let's go now."
When Hu Payi heard her call him by name, he quickly averted his eyes and got up to leave the carriage with her.
Chu Jian knew that they had gone to discuss the matter of changing to Kunlun. He made up his mind to persuade him together with Fatty.
In order to subdue the Demonic Dafu Insects, he had to go to the Kunlun Mountain Pass.
After all, with this insect in hand, whether it was against humans, wild beasts, or dumplings, he would have another trump card.
As expected, Hu Payi came back in a huff after a while. He took the cigarettes and ran out again.
Chu Jian and Fatty looked at each other and quickly followed.
The two of them found him in the car door hole. Fatty asked,"What's wrong, Old Hu? Did this American girl change her mind and want to reduce her money?”
"No, they're going to change their route and say they're going to Kunlun Glacier.”
Hu Payi took a deep puff of his cigarette and said firmly,"We're not going. We'll get off at the next stop and return to Beijing.”
"What? Why?"
As soon as he said this, Fatty immediately became anxious. That was 10,000 yuan, and it was still US dollars. He didn't want to go just like that?
"Brother Hu, listen to me."
Chu Jian had long heard Xue Liyang mention the notebook, so he opened his mouth and revealed the words that he had long prepared.
"On the surface, I came out this time to earn money, but in reality? We're working for the country."
"I guess you must have been to Mount Kunlun. You might have even experienced danger there, or even parted ways for life and death. But because of this, you can't just leave it alone.”
"I'm afraid you don't know this, but Professor Chen and my teacher are the only Western Region cultural researchers in the country. If something happens to them, not only will the Ancient City of Awakening be destroyed, even the existing scientific research results of the Western Region will be destroyed!”
"You know the situation of Mount Kunlun better than I do. Do you think I can protect them all by myself?”
"I…"
Hu Payi lowered his head and fell into deep silence.
Chu Jian gave Fatty a look, and this fellow immediately understood. He lit a cigarette and handed it over, asking tentatively,"Old Hu, I know you were an engineer at Kunlun Mountain, but you never mentioned anything about that time?”
"Sigh…"
Hu Payi sighed and took the cigarette from Fatty. As he smoked, he talked about the two encounters with the Demonic Depp Insects.
Twenty minutes later, he was already in tears."When the military chief came to the hospital to express his condolences, he asked me if I was feeling better.。At that time, I wanted to say that it was much better, but when the words came out of my mouth, what happened?。Why can't I spit it out?"
"Brother Hu, the past is in the past. As a survivor, you have to look forward. You have to live for the people who are still alive.”
"That's right, Old Hu. You still have us and so many family members to take care of!”
Chu Jian and Fatty's eyes were also filled with tears.
Even though he was familiar with this period of history, the grief, despair, and fear in Hu Payi's words were simply empathetic.
"Mr. Hu…"
Xue Liyang had appeared behind the three of them at some point. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said,"We have information on the insect you mentioned. We hope you can take a look and see if it's the same thing.”
This girl was originally cold and aloof, but perhaps she was deeply moved after hearing about Hu Payi's past. Her tone was actually much gentler.
Seeing that it was her, Hu Payi stood up straight and wiped his tears. He forced a smile and said,"I've made a fool of myself. Let's go."
This time, Chu Jian and Fatty also followed. The three of them saw the picture of the Demonic Da Pu Insect in Professor Chen's hands and received Hu Payi's affirmation.
Then, Fatty said," I say, Miss Yang, we were talking about going to the desert at the beginning. You're in the Kunlun Glacier and the Demonic Dafu Insect. How dangerous is it? We brothers have to accompany you with our lives. Why don't we?"。Add some money?"
Xue Liyang was also angry when she heard that. She sneered and said that they didn't have to go. They would get off at the next stop and even reimburse the fare back to Beijing.
"If you want to get out of the car, then get out.”
Fatty had a temper like a firecracker. Seeing that the negotiation had fallen through, he pulled Hu Payi up and wanted to leave.
Chu Jian grabbed them and said,"Two big brothers, look at my face."。Uh, no, for the professor's sake, can we make a trip?”
Professor Chen was old and shrewd. He quickly added,"Comrade Hu, you used to be a company commander, an elite of the country.。”
Before he could finish, Hu Payi shook off Fatty's hand and said in a deep voice,""Professor, stop talking. I'll go!”
