When Bai Aoyu returned victoriously, the entire base was filled with joy as if it were New Year's Day!

All the people, including villagers from miles around, did their best to send their own gifts. Some sent food, some sent chickens and ducks. As long as the family was a little better off, they wanted to give something to express their gratitude to the government and the special troops.

The chefs and staff at the base spontaneously got busy, setting up tables in the open air to entertain these special forces in a lively manner.

Bai Ao Yu said frankly that she and her team were soldiers of the country and the people, and whatever they did was their mission, so there was no need to be so extravagant. Moreover, her soldiers should rest, as they would all withdraw to the headquarters tomorrow.

However, Zhang Haoyang enthusiastically advised that this was also a token of the people’s appreciation, and besides, they still had to eat before resting.

Bai Ao Yu had no choice but to join the crowd.

There were nearly a hundred tables of banquets set up in the open space of the base! The atmosphere was filled with joy and gongs and drums. The old and children in the village sang and danced to express their gratitude in the simplest way.

Only at times like this do we realize the significance of having the government and the country as the backers of maintaining order!

A few of us found a seat and sat down to enjoy a unique feast.

On the table were fish, sweet and sour pork, meatballs, beef stir-fry, lamb chops, lamb offal soup, lamb skewers, steamed buns... Although the ingredients were limited and the dishes were not as varied as before the disaster, the meal was delicious! Xiaobai was even more proud, because the one who led the team back to victory was his own sister!

Fan Chengfeng told her brother that fortunately because she was as thin as an underdeveloped bean sprout, those bad guys did not harm her. It was a blessing in disguise.

Zhang Haoyang, the criminal investigation team leader, applied to his superiors to reward Fan Chenglong with 10,000 yuan for providing clues. He also learned that the two children were fatherless and motherless, so he left them in the base to arrange their study and life, and they could earn their living expenses by doing what they could in the base every day.

This way we can feel assured about the future of our two children.

I told Jackie Chan to study hard and work hard, and we will come to Tianmu Base to see you if we have the chance in the future. Jackie Chan asked me, "Brother Huo, where are you going?"

I said that I planned to temporarily place my family at the base halfway up the mountain, and maybe go to Tarim to look for my mother when I had the chance.

Jackie Chan was very loyal and told me that if we needed him, he would follow us to the end.

I patted the kid on the head to show my gratitude.

All good things must come to an end. After a lively party, everyone will eventually have to figure out their own way forward. Sooner or later, everyone will go their separate ways.

We saw that the base gave Jackie Chan and his sister a small yurt as their residence, so we went to visit them. We found that the yurt was not big, but it had a bed and a table, and it was also powered by electricity and had some commonly used electrical appliances. The environment was really good. After this fierce battle, Jackie Chan and his sister had a good ending in a disguised way.

Before I came to their house, I prepared a big bag of snacks, including chocolate, Snickers, potato chips, biscuits, Wahaha drinks and other drinks that children like. The most important thing was that I secretly gave Chengfeng a box of sanitary napkins and told the child not to tell anyone because I had plenty of these things.

In fact, it was mainly because I was afraid that she would tell others. I would feel really embarrassed. After all, I am a grown man and it is better for me to be more cautious.

They were severely malnourished and didn't look like children of thirteen and fourteen. Grandpa also gave them 10,000 yuan, saying that it was for the children to supplement their nutrition. Finally, after Jackie Chan's hesitation, I forced the money into their pocket and asked him to buy some food for his sister.

Feicui gave the crossbow she got to Jackie Chan, saying that she would remember that Jackie Chan saved us and that they would meet again in the future. Jackie Chan was really our lifesaver and the things he gave him were not much.

After everyone left and returned to the ward, Lin Lin and Xiao Bai got together and went to the rooftop to chat as three men.

The Tianmu base has a vast view at night. There is a small orange light on the top of each tent placed side by side downstairs, and it looks like a long line of lights when viewed from upstairs. The flickering light due to insufficient electricity adds a touch of fantasy like a fairy tale kingdom. The super-large cowshed not far away is also faintly lit, and its iron barrel-like outline looks like a huge castle where the king lives... At night, without the hustle and bustle of the day, the surroundings are particularly quiet, but the smell is a bit unpleasant.

I took out a box of peanuts and a box of canned fish from the plastic bag I took before coming up, and also took out a few bottles of beer from the space and started opening them. Lin Lin's arm had not fully recovered and was still not very flexible. She tremblingly took out a box of cigarettes and smoked two, gave one to Xiaobai, and lit the other for herself.

Xiao Bai took it and saw that it was He Tianxia's cigarette and exclaimed, "Fuck, what level are you smoking?"

Lin Lin smiled mysteriously and replied nonchalantly, "Don't ask me. Lao Huo, the largest tobacco dealer around us, is here. I won't have to worry about running out of cigarettes in the future."

Xiaobai looked at me curiously.

I told him not to listen to me. I just left him two boxes of good cigarettes a few days ago, and he didn't know what to do. Lin Lin smiled and didn't tell me.

Then I asked Xiaobai what his plans were next?

Xiaobai said that her sister also persuaded him to follow us and gave him a savings book with one million yuan, saying that if we went to Mid-Levels to buy a house, his current money would be enough.

Lin Lin was extremely envious and kept shouting that it was good to have a sister, someone who cared about her and could give her money. Then, look, can I live with you when I go back?

Xiao Bai shrugged and answered him, "Just pay the rent." Xiao Bai is a person who doesn't have many thoughts or tempers. But he looked at me with meaningful eyes and asked teasingly, "Old Huo, are you really secretly in love with my sister? Or I can help you talk to her?"

I quickly shook my head, "No, no, no, no, how can a pig like me be worthy of your sister, please don't laugh at me."

Xiaobai let out a long sigh and comforted me: Lao Huo, you are actually a very down-to-earth person and can definitely make a good husband, but it's no use. My sister is not interested in you. You just have no interest in romance and are too honest, just like me. Women don't like nice guys like us.

I suddenly looked at Xiaobai in a different light, he really had a clear understanding of himself, indeed we have many similarities, but we just don't have the charm to attract women, I thought, let it be what it is, I am just that kind of person, I can't pretend to be cool, life is not acting, you can only be yourself, if women don't like you then don't. I turned around and asked Lin Lin, you rushed over to block the arrow, did you want to live?

Lin Lin sighed and answered me: I have only one worthless life, and now I don’t even have any relatives. At that time, I thought that it would be worth it even if I died if I could save your family!

I scolded him: Don't talk nonsense, how can you be so worthless? From now on, you are the second son of our Huo family and Feicui's second brother. Let's go to live in the Mid-Levels Base together!

The three of us were arm in arm, and I suggested: We should set off tomorrow and settle down temporarily at the Mid-Mountain Base, but are houses there so expensive?

Xiaobai said he didn't know either, but if we didn't have enough money he could lend us some.

Lin Lin also changed his depressed expression and agreed that he would follow us, firstly because he was the eldest in his family, and secondly, if he followed Brother Huo, he would have cigarettes to smoke, so he had to follow him for the rest of his life.

It is hard to imagine that in such a world, I have made two such sincere friends. One of them was willing to protect our family at a critical moment and risk his own life. The other one did not hide the fact that he had obtained a sum of money and lent it to me without hesitation. Such a frank friend can be regarded as a true brother. It is difficult to have such sincere feelings before a disaster. I counted the people I know and the only one who can achieve such a relationship is Chen Muge, but I may not see him again in this life.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, casting golden rays of light through the mottled leaves.

Although we have packed our bags and are ready to leave with Bai Ao Yu's team.

Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan came together to see us off. Jackie Chan waved his arms at us with tears in his eyes, asking us to come and play when we have time.

I also waved goodbye: "Goodbye, you must take good care of yourselves."
