After all of them had arrived, they walked towards the mysterious place under the lead of the class monitor.

This time, Xiang Qian and the others had a total of 10 people to investigate the mysterious land. In the end, only four people returned. It was not that Xiang Qian did not want to save them, but the power of humans was too weak in the face of the power of nature.

They had not gone too deep into the Kunlun Iceberg before they saw the Fire Ladybug. At first, they did not know what kind of insect it was. They only thought it was a mutated firefly on Kunlun Mountain. It was not until one of their comrades was too curious and the Fire Ladybug was really beautiful that he tried to catch a sleeping Fire Ladybug on a rock with his hand. As a result, when his hand touched the Fire Ladybug, the hand that touched the Fire Ladybug instantly burned up. In a few breaths, not even bone residue was left.

This scared Xiang Qian, Old Hu, and the others. Xiang Qian had gone to so many graves, but he had never met such a bug. It could be said that Xiang Qian was basically not afraid of ordinary ghosts and zombies now, but he really could not do anything about this bug.

This comrade's scream before his death completely startled the sleeping Fire Ladybugs under the Kunlun Ice Mountain. Hundreds of Fire Ladybugs flew out of the cave with a buzzing sound.

"Run!" Xiang Qian shouted and dragged Old Hu, who was so frightened that he was motionless, and ran.

Xiang Qian's shout also woke the others up. Everyone turned around and quickly ran to the broken wall, scrambling to climb up the broken wall. Just like that, a comrade who was running slowly blocked the entrance of the small cave and lit the explosive bag he carried with him in order to cover Xiang Qian and the others from climbing up the broken wall.”The cave collapsed and was blocked. The Fire Ladybug didn't fly out, but the comrade died. Under the Kunlun Ice Mountain, Xiang Qian had lost two comrades.

Xiang Qian was helpless against the Fire Ladybugs. The only thing he could do was run. There were too many Fire Ladybugs and they were too small. No matter how strong Xiang Qian was, he could not deal with them.

The eight of them escaped from the Kunlun Iceberg. Under the suggestion of the squad leader, they decided not to continue the investigation. The squad leader felt that this was not a mission that could be completed by the few of them. He had brought the few of them out. Now that two of his comrades had already died, he could not bring the remaining comrades to their deaths because of a mission that could not be completed. Therefore, he decided to return down the mountain.

Just as they were about to go down the mountain and return to the army, perhaps due to the explosion of the explosives, a huge avalanche was triggered. As a result, another four teammates fell under the snow of Mount Kunlun.

On this expedition, Xiang Qian and the others could be said to have gained nothing, and even sacrificed six comrades.

After returning to the army, the few of them were asked to cooperate with the interrogation and explain what had happened in the Kunlun Iceberg. There was nothing that they could not say, so a few days later, they were told that everything was fine and that this matter had ended. The investigation was also stopped.

After returning to the army, Xiang Qian and Old Hu looked up a lot of information and finally found out that the fire ladybug under the Kunlun Iceberg was not a mutated firefly.

Just like that, Xiang Qian and Old Hu dug for another three years in Kunlun Mountain.

In 1978, Old Hu was transferred to the field army by his father's comrade, Uncle Chen. Xiang Qian also left Kunlun Mountain with Old Hu through Zhang Qishan's relationship and went to the field army.

In the field army, Old Hu was successfully promoted to company commander. Although Xiang Qian was more capable, he was only promoted to platoon leader because he was usually too lazy.

Xiang Qian didn't care much about these things. Otherwise, with his military achievements in resisting R, he would at least be a major general like Zhang Qishan.

The following year, the Vietnamese counterattacked in self-defense, and Xiang Qian and Old Hu's troops went to the front line.

However, because the South Vietnamese army had disguised themselves as ordinary civilians and killed Xiang Qian and Old Hu's comrades, Old Hu and Xiang Qian were so angry that they killed the prisoners of war inhumanely. The man was pushed off the cliff, and the woman had a bomb strapped to her butt.

After that, Xiang Qian and Old Hu were chased out of the army.

……………………………………

On the train.

"Lord Xiang, is your family from the capital?"

"Uh, sort of. My family left me a courtyard house in the capital.”

"Whoa! Mr. Rich?"

"It's alright. It's just so-so. It's all left behind by the elderly at home. When we arrive in Beijing, you can stay at my place.”

"Let's talk about it later. I still have Big and Small. He will pick us up at the station later.”

…………………………

"Old Hu! Here!"

Xiang Qian and Old Hu, who had just gotten off the train, saw a fat man jumping up and down in the crowd, waving at the two of them.

The two of them walked quickly to Fatty. Fatty and Old Hu first started with a very childish opening line.

Fatty pointed his right hand at the sky and said loudly.

"Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger!"

Old Hu also lowered his head and pretended to reply in a deep voice.

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

Why is your face red?"

Fatty asked.

"I'm so anxious because I can't find a wife."

" Then why is it white again?!"

"I found a tigress and got scared!"

"Old Hu, you're finally back. Our revolutionary team has finally met in Beijing!”Fatty hugged Old Hu and said excitedly.

Fatty let go of Old Hu and asked Xiang Qian.

"Old Hu, is this the brother you mentioned in the letter, Lord Xiang?”

"Yes, he's the powerful Lord Xiang I mentioned in my letter.”Old Hu said to Fatty.

Fatty turned to Xiang Qian and said," Hello, Master Xiang. My surname is Wang and my name is Kaixuan. You can just call me Fatty."”

"Hello, Fatty. Nice to meet you. My name is Xiang Qian. My friends usually call me Lord Xiang.”

"Alright, since you're Old Hu's brother, then you're also my brother. Let's go, let's go to my place first. Put down your things, then I'll treat you two to mutton hotpot to welcome you.”

As he spoke, Fatty brought Xiang Qian and Old Hu out of the train station. Outside, Fatty led the two of them to a broken tricycle.

"Here, put your things in the car. How do you get on the car and go home?”

"Sigh, wait a moment, Fatty. Old Hu, I won't be going for now. I have to go home to take a look and pack up after returning to Beijing. How about this, Fatty, leave me your address, and I'll look for you two tomorrow."”

"Lord Xiang is from the capital? Alright, then come to 15 Alley Alley tomorrow to look for Old Hu and me. Just ask about me there.”

After recording the money, he took his backpack and took a taxi back to his home in Beijing.

"Sigh, Old Hu, I was too embarrassed to ask when Lord Xiang was here just now. How old is Lord Xiang? Didn't you say in your letter that he was a soldier with you for nearly ten years? Why did he look like he was only twenty-four or twenty-five now? Did he join the army at the age of 14 or 15?”

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know how old Lord Xiang is, but he has always been like this since I met him. It's been almost ten years and he hasn't changed.”

"Really? Could Lord Xiang be an old monster?"

"Get lost. You can't joke like this in front of Lord Xiang.”

"I know. I'm not stupid. Come, let's go home and have mutton hotpot."”

Fatty and Old Hu returned to Fatty's rented house and put down their luggage before going out to eat mutton hotpot.

At the mutton restaurant, they met Da Jinya, who had cheated Fatty of his jade. Old Hu and Fatty used some tricks to buy back Fatty's jade. After eating, they went home to rest.

As for Xiang Qian, he separated from Old Hu and Fatty at the train station and returned to the courtyard house.

Although Xiang Qian's house had not been lived in for years, the staff of the New Moon Hotel would still come to clean it regularly to keep it clean.

Xiang Qian put down his backpack and weapons and went out to take a taxi to the New Moon Hotel.

When they arrived at the New Moon Hotel, Xiang Qian went to look for Yin Xinyue's niece, Yin Lili, who was the current owner of the New Moon Hotel.

"Lili, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You've grown into a big girl.”

"Lord Xiang, when did you come back? Last month, Auntie called to ask if you were back.”

"I just came back today. Lili, help me buy a military jeep. It's not convenient for me to go out.”

"Okay, then Master Xiang, wait at the New Moon Hotel for a meal. I'll prepare it for you now. It'll be ready after you finish eating.”

"En, okay. Oh right, help me get an ID card. This ID card won't work anymore. This time, write my age as 28.”

"Yes, Lord Xiang, you eat first.”

Yin Lili instructed the servants to prepare food for Xiang Qian before she went to get Xiang Qian's car and ID card.

After dinner, Yin Lili came back with Xiang Qian's new ID card and car keys in less than an hour.

Xiang Qian took the new ID card and car keys, then left after saying goodbye to Yin Lili.

Xiang Qian went to the store to buy a few sets of clothes before driving home.

Ps: Do you think I'm dragging the pace a little too much? Shouldn't it be written in too much detail? If anyone has any opinions, please leave a message in the comments section.

In the end, it was still the votes.
