Power career

Power career - Chapter [-]: The end of training

Lu Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door of the tallest house. After a long time, someone inside said, "Who is it?"

"Passing by." Lu Yan's voice was full of exhaustion. He was sleepy and tired, as if his nerves were about to collapse. This is not training, but torture.

With a creak, the rusty door was already opened, and an old man in his sixties or seventies stood inside, staring at Lu Yan with dim eyes, and after a long time of recognition, he said, "I don't know you."

"Well, I'm a passer-by and lost my way. I want to rest here for the night. Please help me." Lu Yan said politely.

The old man blocked the door and refused to let go, using local slang to say a series of incomprehensible words.

Lu Yan said impatiently: "I'm just going in to beg for food and find a place to sleep. Get out of the way." After finishing speaking, he didn't care if the old man agreed or not, he just broke in like a robber .This is how people are at this time. Although Lu Yan is used to being gentle, he still thinks from his own point of view when encountering such a situation.After all, this training will last for more than a week, and a bad rest is fatal.

The old man tremblingly shouted from behind: "My family has no money, you go, no money, go quickly."

Lu Yan secretly thought it was funny, did he come all the way from the north to the south just to be a robber?But when he thought about what he had done, he was really no different from a robber.

He went in and took a look. It was four houses, three dark rooms, one light room, one of the three dark rooms was used as a bedroom, and the other two were used as storage rooms. The room in the light room was the living room. There is an Eight Immortals table and four chairs. On the wall in the middle is a picture of a figure. The picture is covered with thick black ash, and it is impossible to tell who the figure is.

Lu Yan took off his raincoat, put it on the back of a chair, took off his backpack, sat in the chair, and took a long breath.

The old man came in after him, with anger on his face, and he kept saying things that Lu Yan couldn't understand at all.He felt that the old man was just pretending. When he opened the door, he still spoke Mandarin, and after a while he couldn't understand Lu Yan's words.

Lu Yan said to the old man: "Master, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I just borrowed your house to rest for a few days. I will make it up to you before I leave."

"Compensation for what?" The old man finally calmed down seeing that Lu Yan didn't intend to leave, nor robbed his house, and Mandarin came out again.

"This backpack is for you." Lu Yan didn't have any money on him, only this pickpocketed backpack was worth a little money. After all, it was new, worth about a hundred and ten yuan.

"What do I want this broken bag for?" The old man glanced at the backpack and knew that although the backpack was new, it was not worth much.

"Do you want love or not, anyway, I have nothing to give you." Lu Yan also lost his patience.

The old man looked at him bitterly for a long time, then turned around and walked out, his steps were quite neat.Lu Yan ate some bread, took off his wet clothes, sat in a chair and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was suddenly awakened by the sound outside. Through the door glass, I saw a few figures in the courtyard. It turned out that the old man came in with two old ladies in their 50s.

The old man said angrily as he walked: "You help me judge, is there such a reason in the world? He took up my house and acted like a young master. He is like a robber. I don't think he is a good person." .”

Lu Yan sighed and found the old man's dry clothes to put on, then slowly opened the door.Although the old man found two helpers, he didn't dare to come in. Lu Yan stood at the door and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Come in, we can talk calmly."

The old man hesitated for a long time, and wanted to move his foot in, but the two old ladies didn't dare to come over at all. They stood at the gate, ready to turn around and run away at any time.

Seeing that they refused to come, Lu Yan said, "I'm just borrowing for a few days, and I didn't steal or rob you. What are you afraid of? I am a person who respects the old and loves the young. I am not a robber. Yesterday At night, my friend and I were separated in the mountains, and I didn't sleep all night, so I can borrow your place to rest for a few days, isn't it okay?"

An old lady persuaded: "Old loyal uncle, don't think too much, it's just a young man who got lost, just stay for a few days."

"It's too easy for you to say, why don't you let him live in your house?" The old man named Uncle Zhong jumped and cursed at the old lady who wanted to calm down.

The old lady said in amazement: "Hey, we are here to help you. Why are you biting Lu Dongbin for being unkind? I'm leaving. I don't want to bother with your family's business anymore."

The two old ladies left, and Lu Yan ignored the old man. He closed the door and went to sleep until the afternoon.The sky here cannot see the sun, but to know the time, there is a quartz wall clock in the old man's house, which shows the time.

In the evening, Lu Yan looked at the cold house, sighed, went to the kitchen to find firewood, and cooked a meal.There were no vegetables, so I pulled a few spinach and radishes from the vegetable garden, and made two dishes with the few eggs left in the old man's house, and invited the old man to have dinner together.

The old man was not polite to him, and when he saw him greet him for dinner, he walked over and sat down to eat with Lu Yan.After eating, Lu Yan put away the tableware and washed them clean. Seeing that he was doing well, the old man gradually dispelled his disgust.

Xi Zhangma, who was far away at the training base, saw that Lu Yan did not move after walking in the mountains all night. Obviously, he found a place to rest.It’s just that the small village is not marked on the map at all. In Xizhangma’s view, it is living in the wild, but it is a little close to the provincial road, not living in the wild in the true sense.

He never expected that instead of surviving in the wild, Lu Yan found a family to help the old man cook and farm.

Lu Yan also gradually realized that there used to be dozens of families in this small village. In the first ten years, many families moved to live in the city. People who have no ability to work, and those who have the ability have all gone to work in the city, and the young people are no longer seen. According to the current fashion, this is a left-behind village.

From the old man, Lu Yan also learned that many young people in the village don't come back even when it's New Year's Eve. Some send money back to the old people according to the festival, and some can't find anyone at all. They haven't seen them once for several years.

This is the current situation in the countryside near Yangcheng. The land can no longer hold young people, and the elderly are guarding big houses and land, and refuse to leave.It is impossible to say when these people will be buried in their own land.

This is not only the case in Yangcheng, but also in other rural areas in China. Young people have left the land where their ancestors lived for generations and flocked to more prosperous and more civilized cities.They struggle in various industries, build cities, and strive to be urbanites. Only those who have lost the ability to work remain in their hometowns, guarding the land and farming their lives every day.

A week passed quickly, and after getting along for a week, the relationship between Lu Yan and the old man became much more harmonious.When Lu Yan was about to leave, the old loyal uncle said reluctantly: "My child, you are a fugitive, and I admit it. If you can't hang out anymore, come here to be my old man's companion. I don't despise you, and Don't be afraid of getting involved, with you talking every day, I still feel hopeful, alas! I am old and useless, and my children are doing business in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. It is not easy to come back once a year."

Lu Yan shook the old man's hand and said, "Master, don't think of me so badly, I'm actually a good person."

"Don't lie to me, that's the highway over there. If you get lost, you can take a car and go into the city. Do you still need to stay in my house? I know, the hearts of you young people want to be lively, and it's too poor here You guys are not used to it." The old man looked at Lu Yan and said.

The old man's words may be very reasonable, but it made Lu Yan a little dumbfounded.Thinking about his own appearance, he was indeed not like the good guy above, but he couldn't say that he came to live in the wild, let alone explain the ins and outs of it, so he left vaguely.

Lu Yan walked into a deserted valley, and then called Xi Zhangma, asking him to send someone to pick him up.

Xi Zhangma is not so easy to deceive. In the past few days, Lu Yan has been nestled in one place. Although he can't see where Lu Yan is, he can clearly feel Lu Yan's location from the surveillance.

Xi Zhangma once went to visit, and the small village had already fallen into his eyes. Only then did he know that Lu Yan did not do any kind of outdoor survival at all, but hid in the homes of ordinary people. The place to sleep, it's like running here to take a vacation.After receiving the call from Lu Yan, he said in a vicious voice: "There is no car or plane, how can I pick you up? You can find a way to come back by yourself. You haven't starved to death after so many days. It seems that you still have a way."

After hearing this, Lu Yan felt very stunned, but he was used to the personality of the Intelligence Bureau, so he knew that it would be useless to continue talking, so he had to walk out of the forest, walk to the side of the road, and be stuck in traffic for a full three hours. Only then did I find a car that was willing to take him for free and take him back to Yangcheng.

After arriving in the city, Lu Yan reported a place name and asked a taxi to take him to the sixth training base.

After getting out of the car, Lu Yan ran to Xi Zhangma's office and said, "Leader, have I passed my field survival training? There is a taxi outside waiting for you to pay."

Xi Zhangma found the wallet that Lu Yan left with him, threw it over and said, "The money is here, you go out and pay for it yourself, the public doesn't care about this kind of thing, it's all at your own expense."

Lu Yan could see that the leader was not very happy, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? You have such a long face, did you quarrel with your wife? Or is the child disobedient?"

Xizhangma stared and said, "Are you finished? Didn't it make you angry? You were asked to receive training, but you went to a fellow villager's house to enjoy the blessings. Is there a woman with you?"

"Hey, you know all of this?" Lu Yan said disapprovingly: "There are no young people in the countryside, and they are all old men and women over the age of five and sixty. The ground has chopped firewood."

"I knew that you are a rotten piece of wood that cannot be carved, and you have wasted a good chance of survival training in the wild." Xi Zhangma pointed at him and cursed fiercely.
