Zhou Xi looked at Qiu Ci with a solemn expression.

She asked, "Qiu Ci, you don't actually believe in the existence of a Lord, do you?"

Don't forget our mission. We're here to monitor Lando. Everything she says is a lie; don't believe her.

Qiu Ci also looked at Zhou Xi with a puzzled expression. "Sister Zhou, weren't you very relaxed just now?"

We can find peace here, so what if we believe in a non-existent God?

Do you know what? These six hours were the most comfortable time I've ever had.

We finally got to relax, and Lando was just providing us with a place to vent our emotions. I don't think she did anything wrong.

If anyone is at fault, it's the flight crew, the maintenance personnel, and so on.

Seeing that Qiu Ci's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Zhou Xi quickly interrupted, saying coldly, "Enough, Qiu Ci, this plane crash was just an accident!"

Qiu Ci countered, "Then why did the accident happen to us, and not to someone else?"

Is it possible that something in the universe influenced us, leading us to end up on this ill-fated flight?

Perhaps this is God's punishment for us.

Zhou Xi's pupils contracted, shocked that these words actually came from the mouth of the obedient Qiu Ci. "Qiu Ci, do you know what you're saying?"

What is divine punishment?

Have we done something utterly heinous?

Qiu Ci reflected, "We have all made many mistakes."

Sister Zhou, can you honestly say you've never done anything in your life that you regret?

Zhou Xi took a deep breath. "Qiu Ci, you're being results-oriented. You will definitely regret many things, but what's done is done, and we have to accept it."

Qiu Ci replied, "I accept it, so I'm here."

Zhou Xi felt that Qiu Ci could no longer keep an eye on Lan Duo.

After parting ways with Qiu Ci, he went to see Bai Zhan alone and told him about what he had seen and heard that day, as well as Qiu Ci's account.

Zhou Xi suggested, "Bai Zhan, Qiu Ci can't continue to be involved in this. She's been brainwashed. If this continues, she'll lose herself."

After hearing Zhou Xi's explanation, Bai Zhan frowned. "I understand. You can go by yourself from now on. I'll handle things with Qiu Ci."

Zhou Xi nodded.

As she was leaving, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Still no news of Sun Chengwu?"

Bai Zhan shook his head. "No, I would have told you if I had."

Zhou Xi sighed.

There's been no news for so long, Sun Chengwu must be dead by now.

Even if he were incredibly capable, it would be difficult for him to survive in such a desperate situation.

Just like the ice floes that broke apart back then, the largest piece carried the most people and was brought to the shore, which is how they were rescued.

He vaguely remembered that the ice floe where Sun Chengwu was standing was the smallest, with the fewest people on it, and it drifted further and further away, until he didn't know where it had gone.

Perhaps they died at sea long ago.

New Year's Day arrived quietly.

Sun Chengwu's camp was bustling with activity. Two pillars stood at the entrance, with a plaque hanging between them, serving as the main gate.

Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the pillars, and the horizontal scroll on the plaque was written in regular script by Li Mu.

Besides the main gate, small couplets were also pasted on the doors of each wooden house.

Since they didn't have any red, they hung up red cloth to liven things up.

A pot of broth was simmering, with bones and chunks of meat floating in it. The temperature in the air had risen by more than ten degrees, and the snow around the camp was about to melt from the firewood they were burning.

"It's veering off course, veering off course, to the left, to the left... Oh, right, a little more to the right..."

Below, Guan Fulin shouted while gesturing with his hands.

Above, Richard is putting up couplets.

Wang Hu and Ma Di held onto the wooden ladder, which swayed precariously.

Wang Hu complained, "These makeshift tools are no good. Look at this ladder, what kind of quality is it? It's so shaky even with two people holding it. Anyone who didn't know better would think we had Parkinson's disease."

The wooden ladder was made by Guan Fulin; Wang Hu's words were pointed at something.

Guan Fulin grumbled, "If you think I didn't do it well, then do it yourself! Do you even know what Parkinson's is?"

Wang Hu, annoyed by the retort, snapped back, "Parkinson's is just hand tremors, right? Do you think I'm illiterate?"

The two sides went back and forth, saying hurtful things, but it was all just talk. As they argued, everyone burst into laughter.

This is a unique kind of humor found only in Northeast China.

There were also a few people from the south in the group. Half of them didn't understand why the two of them were arguing so much that they were about to fight, and the people next to them were just laughing. Weren't they afraid that the two of them would actually fight?

In fact, the more two people argue, the closer their relationship becomes.

As long as you don't insult your parents or ancestors, any insults between you are just jokes.

However, this is only true if both parties enjoy joking; otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

Richard finally got the close-up shot right in front of him, climbed down from the ladder, clapped his hands, and said, "You two really need to eat some more. Look at your hands, they're shaking so badly. Are you suffering from kidney deficiency?"

Wang Hu recently brought a girl home, and many people complained that the two of them were making too much noise and were shameless.

The cabins weren't very soundproof, so if the noise was even slightly loud at night, everyone in the camp could hear it.

When Wang Hu saw Richard also teasing him, he finally couldn't hold back and exploded, "Screw you! My kidneys are in great shape, you don't believe me? Let's have a contest!"

After saying that, he lay down and did push-ups.

Hearing the commotion, Rogers came over and started arguing, "What does doing push-ups prove?"

"If you're so capable, let your woman sit on you and see how much you can do."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers again, "Brother Tiger, you wouldn't be so scared, would you?"

Wang Hu was a stubborn fellow, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, who's afraid of who? Rogers, don't brag, I'm starting to suspect you have kidney deficiency too."

Rogers chuckled, "I'm so old, I really do have kidney deficiency, I can't do it, I admit it."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Rogers pointed at Williams and said, "This big guy has two women on his back, one on each side, compared to you."

The bald man shouted, "Count me in!"

Wang Hu is now in a bit of a predicament.

Both of them are big guys. He's just a tough fighter, but he's never worked out.

But his personality made him absolutely unwilling to accept it.

He shouted, "Fine, who's afraid of who? I'll take two!"

Upon hearing this, Rogers immediately mocked, "Wang Hu, are you sure you can do it? Don't end up not being able to do any of them."

Wang Hu, his neck red, cursed, "Bullshit! If I can't even do one of these things, I'll change my surname to yours!"

Rogers laughed and shouted, "Hahaha, everyone heard that, right? I didn't force him to do this."

Wang Hu patted his chest proudly and said, "I'm not afraid of you, you're a coward!"
