Jinling love story

The fever is severe, so I have to rely on these medicines to save my life. "

"I'll think of a way. How much medicine is left?"

"Not much left. I made a rough count just now, and it's only enough for three people at most. Not only these children with fever, but also many other patients are waiting for medicine."

"I'll buy it tomorrow. The rest of the medicine should be used first."

"Then please."

After the doctor left, Xia Ranjiang felt extremely heavy.

Xia Ranjiang has been keeping accounts and knows how much money is left.During this period of time, the weather is changing rapidly, and epidemic groups break out. A lot of money has been used to buy medicines and nutritional products, and the next batch of funds will not be available until [-] days later.If the medicine is not available right now, many people are in danger of their lives.

"What should come will always come."

Xia Ranjiang let out a long sigh.The idea in my heart has been lingering for a long time, but until now, this is the only way.

Early the next morning, Xia Ranjiang appeared downstairs in Shike Company.

Xia Ranjiang stopped in a hurry yesterday, before Xia Ranjiang had time to look around.Although this country is poor and backward, this area is the leading business district in the city. The embassies and consulates are adjacent to each other. The roads are neat and clean, with various low shrubs planted on both sides, and the automatic sprinklers in the flower beds are working all day long.And less than [-] kilometers away, a group of skinny children are suffering from injuries, and their lives are even in danger at any time.

"Come up."

Xia Ranjiang crouched in the corner when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.Looking up, Tong Zhe happened to pass by, walking up the stairs like flying.

"So early."

Tong Zhe stood at the stairs for a while, and waited for Xia Ranjiang to come up together. He greeted casually, but Xia Ranjiang said in unison.

"Get used to it. Get up early for a run, sort out work."

Tong Zhe swiped his fingerprints, and the notification sound of the access control spread throughout the office area. "come in."

"Go ahead. What's the matter?"

"About that donation..."

"Didn't we agree? As long as you give me the answer I want, the money will be yours. Oh, no, you already gave the answer yesterday. Since my offer was rejected, what else is there to talk about?" of?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"I saved you in the cave."

"Ha ha."

Tong Zhe sneered twice.Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Xia Ranjiang's skirt like a beast, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xia Ranjiang's frightened face.

"Am I that hateful?"

Tong Zhe straddled Xia Ranjiang.

"I don't know what chance and coincidence made me meet you again in this strange place. If I had a choice, I think it would be best to part ways like that ten years ago. If you still hate me, it proves that you have always been love Mine, or you'd forget me completely instead of pretending to forget me. For the past ten years, I don't know how I got here. But that day in the cave I found you alive and well, I Suddenly remembered how I got here. And you, don't know anything about it. You only know how to hate me, but you don't know how much I hate you. "

"Tong Zhe, I don't hate you, I just can't remember..."

Before Xia Ranjiang finished speaking, Tong Zhe's mouth covered Xia Ranjiang's open lips.Xia Ranjiang wanted to break free, but Tong Zhe's weight was pressing him firmly, and Tong Zhe's arms were bound by Tong Zhe.

……

Two deep roars.

Xia Ranjiang slumped on the sofa, wrapped his hands around Tong Zhe's back, and slowly pulled Tong Zhe closer, leaning on his chest.

"I remember it all."

Xia Ranjiang's breathing slowed down, and he murmured in Tong Zhe's ear.

"Remember what?"

Tong Zhe lay lazily on Xia Ranjiang's chest, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead in an instant.

Xia Ranjiang lightly touched Tong Zhe's lips with his forehead, and smiled without answering.

"I'm leaving."

Xia Ranjiang tried to push Tong Zhe away, but Tong Zhe pressed Xia Ranjiang tightly.

At this time, there was a rustling sound from the public office area outside the door, as if someone had come to work.

Xia Ranjiang patted Tong Zhe on the back, and Tong Zhe let go only after hearing this.

weekend.

Xia Ranjiang was sorting out the documents in the room when he suddenly heard cheers outside.When I went out, I saw a group of children put down the toys in their hands and ran outside.

From a distance, I saw a small van parked on the side of the road under the blue sky and white clouds, with the back cover open, and Tong Zhe was carrying boxes of things out.A cardboard box had been torn open, and colorful plastic candy wrappers were scattered all over the place, attracting dozens of children to loot.

"Come here and help, what are you doing there stupidly?"

Tong Zhe whistled and waved at Xia Ranjiang, totally unable to stand up to these kids.

Xia Ranjiang walked over.Strange to say, seeing Xia Ranjiang coming, the group of children calmed down one by one, and seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, neither snatching nor making trouble, everyone picked up a candy or two and left obediently.

"Yo, you're quite good at dealing with children."

"What are you doing here?"

"Condolences."

"Who do you condole with?"

"Condolences to you."

"I have nothing to offer my condolences." Xia Ranjiang said, carrying the box and walking into the village.

"Hey, hey, let me ask you, can you stop being so duplicity, say nothing, but move quickly, and only pick the most valuable things."

Xia Ranjiang found a few more helpers and moved all the things Tong Zhe brought into the clinic.

"This box is for medicines, toys, food, bread, biscuits, and candies. Some of them have been eaten up just now... Also, this is some clothes. Some are old clothes. I mobilized my colleagues to collect donations." .It’s old, but it’s not broken, and the quality is okay.”

"Mr. Tong, the medicines and food you sent were too timely. We were worried about what to do, but you delivered them. You really did a great deed."

"Then you have to thank Xia Ranjiang, your classmate Lawrence, for making a big deal."

Tong Zhe winked at Xia Ranjiang slyly, and Xia Ranjiang's face turned red.

"Give me the bill and bank account later, and I'll call you after I get the money." Xia Ranjiang pulled Tong Zhe aside and whispered.

"It counts as prostitution."

"what?"

Xia Ranjiang didn't hear clearly for a while, but suddenly understood, and kicked Tong Zhe's ass.

"It's a good deal."

Tong Zhe jumped away with a smile.Xia Ranjiang's serious expression also cleared the clouds.

"Fuck, no, I'm at a disadvantage. There's no one like you. If you take advantage of it, you still have to deliver it to your door. Who else can do it except me?"

"I'm serious, these things you bring are not small amounts, aren't you afraid of audits? You are still a representative of the country."

"It's okay, I paid for it myself, and those two old clothes were donated."

"What? Your own money?"

"Yeah. You don't care whose money it is, your problem is solved anyway, isn't it?"

"How do you know I lack these things?"

"If there were no shortages, you wouldn't bite the bullet and come to me early in the morning. I accidentally saw your journal that day, and I wrote down everything that was missing." Tong Zhe was quite proud, crossing his legs. "You are a thin-skinned person, and you don't like to trouble others in everything. I don't know you yet? Hey, I've been sitting for so long, pour a glass of water for my grandfather, I'm dying of thirst."

"Hey, by the way, I brought you something specially."

After Tong Zhe finished speaking, he took out a plastic bag from his backpack, opened it, and found a paper bag inside.Tong Zhe reached in and grabbed a few chestnuts from it.

"Where did you come from?" Xia Ranjiang was a little surprised, holding his hands together.

"I entrusted someone to bring it from China. It was fried before boarding the plane, and it arrived early this morning. So I sent it to you quickly." Tong Zhe peeled one by himself and threw it into his mouth. "The taste is okay, but I'm afraid it will be spoiled."

"You remember I like to eat this..."

"The main reason is to wake up your memory." Tong Zhe peeled off another one and handed it to Xia Ranjiang's mouth. "Do you remember it?"

"Ah."

Xia Ranjiang only felt his nose sore, he opened his mouth slightly to catch the chestnut, and chewed it slowly.

This taste seems to have spanned the ten years in between.In the past ten years, Xia Ranjiang ate countless delicacies, but without exception, they were all just to satisfy their hunger.Only this long-lost chestnut seemed to awaken the remaining emotions in the memory, and brought Xia Ranjiang back to Tong Zhe.

"Delicious, right?"

"Ah."

"Then let someone take it next time. Anyway, people from our place come on business trips from time to time." Tong Zhe was thoughtful. "Hey, I'm applying to the headquarters for the $[-]. It should be paid out of the corporate social responsibility budget. But the time may not be so fast."

"I don't need it for the time being. The things you brought are completely enough, and our allocation for next month will come down soon."

"How can I do that? The promise I made must be fulfilled, especially what I promised you. What are you afraid of?"

The corners of Tong Zhe's mouth turned up, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he took Xia Ranjiang's hand.

"Xiao Ran, don't say anything. I don't know what to say now. I am very happy, but I don't know how to tell you. I have always felt empty in my heart for ten years, but now I don't know why. Very fulfilling."

"I understand." Xia Ranjiang sat down. "In the past ten years, I have done a lot of work and experienced many things, but this time is the most correct decision for me."

"Okay, okay. Don't be so sentimental."

Tong Zhe put his arms around Xia Ranjiang's shoulders, and pinched Xia Ranjiang's cheeks with his fingers.

"How about you talk about the ten years without me, what have you experienced? For example, did you meet a handsome guy?"

"Thinking about it now, my ten years have been wasted." Xia Ranjiang sighed. "I worked as a translator for a period of time, but because of the sequelae of the brain after the operation, the memory was impaired, and then I slowly gave up. I have done everything I wanted to do before, but there is nothing like what I do now. It’s so meaningful. Now I find that the so-called dream, when it is realized and then looking back, is actually a fantasy, and when it is not realized, it is a delusion. Now life is a bit bitter, but I see these children’s knowledge increasing a little bit every day. I feel happy from the bottom of my heart to see the surrounding environment and the quality of life improving little by little.”

Xia Ranjiang's eyes sparkled. "And you?"

"Me?..." Tong Zhe retracted his hands, clasping his hands between his thighs. "You may not believe it. I go to work, go to work, go to work every day, and then go to work, go to work, go to work, and then go to work, go to work, go to work."

"Sounds boring."

"It's quite boring, like a walking dead." Tong Zhe looked up at the children playing outside the window. "After graduating from university, I went to Shenzhen and came to this company. I have personally experienced this company from small to large. Maybe this is the only return for me to pay so much."

"your hands?"

Xia Ranjiang suddenly found the scar on Tong Zhe's wrist.

"I'll forget if you don't mention it." Tong Zhe bared his teeth, and pinched Xia Ranjiang's cheek again. "That day in the cave, it was scattered all over the ground and then disappeared."

"Bracelets?"

"That's not an ordinary bracelet. One of them is your heart. It was worn and worn on my wrist for ten years until my wrist became like this. But it's a coincidence that this heart met When it comes to the master, it just disappears."

"I was on a patrol in the mountains that day. There were always children who went to play in the woods and were injured by traps. Those hunters would always make some homemade poison and smear the wounds on the knife wounds. The wounds of children were often infected after being injured. The hygienic conditions here were poor before. , Even if some doctors were trained later, these doctors were unable to prescribe the right medicine. After our organization came, we thought of simply pulling out the bottom line, searching and recovering one by one according to the layout map of the traps we found before. It is strange to say, After searching for several days, there was only one clip left and you couldn’t find it, so you won the lottery.”

"Damn, it sounds like my back is getting cold. How many catastrophes have I escaped. I have suffered a lot just to see you."

"Hehe. God is helping you too." Xia Ranjiang said with a smile. "It rained suddenly that day, and it hasn't rained for a long time. The toxins may have been washed away a lot. Later, some of us studied the trap, and only found some hallucinogens extracted from poisonous mushrooms, which were not highly toxic. thing."

"You mean..." Tong Zhe half-closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. "Did I hallucinate that night?"

"Yes... right." Xia Ranjiang turned his face sideways, avoiding Tong Zhe's gaze. "It's all hallucinations."

"But you really did a good job. The company wanted to organize a jungle adventure or something before."

"I think it's better not to go. Man-made threats can be controlled, but natural threats can't be controlled. There are poisonous snakes inside."

"Hmm." Tong Zhe looked at his watch and stood up. "I should go too. I'll see you next time. How can I find you?"

"The signal in our area is very poor, and calls often fail."

Xia Ranjiang took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Tong Zhe.The signal bar at the top of the phone screen is looming.

"You're on to something, that's what I do."

Tong Zhe picked up the backpack, threw it on his shoulder, and dropped a pile of materials.Some of the papers fell at Xia Ranjiang's feet.

Xia Ranjiang's eyes were suddenly attracted by the sign on the paper, and he picked it up involuntarily and took a look.

"Why, you also understand?"

"Isn't this a sign of a national park? You also have a project with them?"

"Just this one project, it has given us a lot of trouble." Tong Zhe seemed to regain his energy just as he was about to leave. "Remember the last time we got into a car accident on the road?"

"Well, it hasn't been long. Is your colleague well now?"

"What's the matter with him, the young man is thick-skinned...don't interrupt. I mean, the last time I was going to talk to the park director about a project, I was spotted by a competitor on the way, and their car hit me directly. Luckily, I was wearing a seat belt and lost my life. This group of people was crazy about this project. Having said that, the person in charge is also strange. If you want technology, give him technology, if you want model points, give him model points, and if you want kickbacks, you will also give them. If you get kickbacks, you just can’t make a deal in the end.”

"Is this project so important?"

"It's not that important. Whether we can win this project this year will have little impact on the performance of our representative office. It's just that if something like this happens, we can't let our competitors succeed. At least we have to disgust them."

"Is the person in charge you mentioned called Jack Hobbs?"

"Yes, yes, his Chinese name is Huo Yuanjie. He said he studied in China and speaks Chinese very fluently. Do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I just heard about it." Xia Ranjiang frowned. "I think it's better to have less contact with him. This man has a deep background in the underworld, and he has done a lot of outrageous things in private."

"how do you know?"

"Transnational criminal organizations have been watching him for a long time, but he has a deep-rooted relationship in Libya, and most people can't touch him."

"Damn it, after hearing you say that, I remembered something..."

"what?"

"I don't think he is guarding himself? On the surface, he is the person in charge of the park. He built a monitoring network under the guise of protecting rhinos and elephants. In fact, he didn't want to build a monitoring network at all. At the same time, still hire people to hunt and kill wild animals? In other words, even if the surveillance network is established, at that time, find a few of your own people to pretend to be poachers and commit crimes under the surveillance. Is it all the problem of poachers outside?"

"This is a big deal."

"This old guy is really good at calculating. It caused us to spend a lot of time making plans and wasting a lot of gas money." Tong Zhe said through gritted teeth.

"Actually, you didn't suffer a loss. Looking at the big picture, you have communicated so many times, you must have found some clues." Xia Ranjiang seemed to be recalling something. "What are you going to do next?"

"I want to go to the park." Tong Zhe paused, looking at Xia Ranjiang seriously. "Do you know why I came to Africa?"

"Ok?"

"Two reasons. One is you, and the other is my dad." Tong Zhe sighed slightly. "I inquired about you and found out that you are in Africa, unfortunately you are so close."

"What about the second reason?"

"I don't know if you still remember, the year you left, my dad was arrested for smuggling ivory. I want to atone for him. If I can't pay back, then I want to do something."

"I am with you."

"Xiao Ran, I never thought that ten years later we would come together because of this kind of thing." Tong Zhe smiled helplessly.

"Heavenly reincarnation." Xia Ranjiang was a little emotional. "Let's go out for a walk, take you to inspect the environment, and don't delay this moment."

It was almost dusk.The heat of the day has slowly dissipated, and the breeze in the evening is mixed with a little warmth, which is a bit like the east wind blowing through the willow branches in late spring, stirring up a little bit of drunkenness.This scene was like the Jinling City that ended ten years ago, and it reminded Xia Ranjiang of many incomplete fragments.

"I have been here for more than half a year, and today is the first time I am so relaxed. It's good to see these scenery." Tong Zhe opened his arms, facing the wind direction, took a breath, and took a long time to let it out.

"You who are in the market will only make yourself nervous every day."

"I can't help it, the competition is fierce, and I don't want to fall behind, so I can only wrong myself." Tong Zhe trotted a few steps to keep up. "A few days ago, a colleague of ours in Latin America kept writing the plan until three o'clock in the morning. While writing, he suffered a cerebral infarction. Just sitting there like this, the person disappeared."

After Tong Zhe finished speaking, he rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and hung his tongue by his mouth.Xia Ranjiang stopped and kicked Tong Zhe's ass.

"I found out that you are completely different from before." Tong Zhe put his arm around Xia Ranjiang's shoulder and leaned into his ear and said.

"It's been ten years, it must be different...what's the difference?"

"The technology is even better." Tong Zhe said ambiguously, and hummed twice after speaking.

"Go to hell." Xia Ranjiang's ears turned red.

"Hahaha." Tong Zhe jumped away. "But to be serious, I just found out now. Our pursuits are different."

"Pursue?"

"Have you heard of the 'Maslow's Needs Pyramid'? Ten years ago, we were both at the bottom, or the penultimate level. Everything is to be able to get ahead. Ten years have passed, and I am still at the second level, in order to Your career is running around for your life, you have reached the highest level, and your needs are the realization of your self-worth and your potential.”

"Unexpectedly, you have learned a lot in the past ten years, student Tong Zhe." Xia Ranjiang laughed. "It's a pity that they are all half-knowledgeable. This has not changed at all from ten years ago."

"Oh? Why does this sound a bit brazen? Guan Gong is playing big swords in front of him? What kind of experience made you so confident? Let me hear it?"

"You're not on the penultimate layer, but on the second, or third, pursuit of the need for respect and affection."

"Ok?"

"If it's just for money and life, with your current qualifications, you can stay in Shenzhen and continue to live in peace. But you are obviously not like this. You came to Africa alone, where you are not familiar with, because what you are pursuing in your heart is no longer It's the same."

"That's right." Tong Zhe nodded. "The second level of Maslow's pyramid is personal fulfillment, and the third level is the need for love and friendship. These two are indeed what I want."

"But you've slowly risen to the top level now."

"How to say?"

"Saving animals. This is already a very high merit in Buddhism."

"Yo yo, where did you learn so much nonsense? I'm a rough person, I only care about money. Don't tell me you have learned all these things from American imperialism in the past few years."

"How can I say I'm rough." Xia Ranjiang joked with her mouth crooked. "When I was recovering in the first few years, some impressions always popped up in my mind, a person, but I couldn't remember what it was, I always thought I was dreaming, I couldn't talk to someone, and I couldn't explain it clearly. It made me very painful. Later, I occasionally heard a lecture on Eastern philosophy given by a professor, and then basically studied Buddhism and Taoist classics for a period of time, but I also got some enlightenment, no longer entangled, and it was not so painful."

"So you are mentally ill, even I don't remember." Tong Zhe lightly patted the back of Xia Ranjiang's head. "All the water in my head will be photographed for you."

"Also, I actually remember you, but I always thought it was someone who appeared in a dream. I don't know what those doctors did to me. They were able to clear some memories on a fixed-point basis, so that I have this strange feeling. a feeling of."

"what about now?"

"I think I should remember everything."

"I'm curious, what kind of exciting scene is so magical?" Tong Zhe raised his eyebrows. "Is it that time in the cave? I successfully opened the valve of 'memory'?"

"Get lost." Xia Ranjiang blushed.

"Huh? What's the sound?"

Tong Zhe's wretched smile froze suddenly, signaling Xia Ranjiang to stop.

"Sound? What sound?"

"Shh...don't talk, listen carefully."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

There were bursts of hurried voices in the distance.

The two trotted over and stopped by a small pond.

"It really is an elephant." Xia Ranjiang gasped.

However, the animal in front of me is not so much an elephant as a "little elephant". It looks less than half the height of a person, with pink circles around its ears, and a semicircular deep red wound on its back, which looks like a knife. What was left, there were flies flying around the elephant from time to time.The little elephant was pacing back and forth in the mud anxiously, flapping its big ears back and forth. When it saw two people on the bank, it froze for a moment, sticking out its nose and snorting.

"It may have slipped out of the nearby forest park and fell into the pit by accident." Xia Ranjiang patted Tong Zhe on the back. "Go ahead, elephant aviator."

"Elephant what?" Tong Zhe saw the elephant so close for the first time. Although the elephant was deep in the mud, the surroundings were already dirty with mud.

"Save it."

"Ah? It's so big, how can I save it? It must weigh three or four hundred catties, right? We both have nothing, so we shouldn't jump off and use it as a back for it, right?" Tong Zhe looked around, as far as his eyes could see, Nothing but rotten branches.

"That's not enough." Xia Ranjiang rolled up his sleeves. "There are many such things. Counting this one, I have saved three. The first two are bigger than this one."

"Let's go get some rocks."

After a while, the two came back with a pile of stones.Just as Tong Zhe raised the stone and was about to throw it into the pit, a mass of foul-smelling mud hit his chest, and then he heard a rush of warning sounds.

"Damn it, I didn't come here to save you, but I didn't intend to sentence you to death by stoning."

"Move slowly, don't make it feel threatened."

Xia Ranjiang said, vigorously wiping off the mud on Tong Zhe's chest.

Xia Ranjiang looked down into the pit, chose a gentle slope and knelt down beside the pit, and threw down the stones around him one by one, just embedded in the mud, and three steps were piled up in a short while.Make a "chirp" sound to the baby elephant.

Hearing the sound, the little elephant stopped calling for help, first hesitantly dodged to the side, and flung its long nose weakly at Xia Ranjiang, then looked up at Xia Ranjiang slightly.

"Come here, I'm here to save you."

Xia Ranjiang poked his body into the pit.Seeing this scene, Tong Zhe understood what Xia Ranjiang was going to do, knelt behind Xia Ranjiang, and hugged Xia Ranjiang's waist with both hands.

At this time, the little elephant cautiously came over, but was scared by Tong Zhe's sneeze and hid back.

"Sorry, my nose is itchy."

"It's okay, the animals here are very vigilant, and it's not so easy for them to trust us." After Xia Ranjiang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the little elephant. "Did you bring anything to eat?"

"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that I have an apple here."

Tong Zhe shook out a snake fruit from his bag and handed it to Xia Ranjiang.

The elephant hesitated for a moment.It may be that the wound on his back is already in pain, or it may be the temptation of food. He took a few steps forward, stepped on the gentle slope with his front foot, and stretched his nose and head over.

Xia Ranjiang hugged the little elephant's trunk and pulled it up the slope.The little elephant also seemed to understand that the two humans were here to save it, and with the strength of its head, it stepped on the steps step by step.

"Fuck, why is it so heavy, it's so well-raised."

Tong Zhe gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead appeared.

Suddenly, the rocks under the little elephant's feet slipped, and its body fell down, almost bringing the two of them down the mud pit, but Xia Ranjiang still held on tightly.

"Don't let go, a little more will come out, pull hard..."

As if encouraged by the two, the little elephant groped for a while and finally found another foothold. With a long cry, it jumped to the shore with all its strength.

"Damn I'm exhausted..."

Panting heavily, Tong Zhe fell on the grass, staring straight at the indigo blue sky.

At this time, an elephant trunk appeared in sight.Tong Zhe was so startled that he immediately sat up and scrambled to hide aside.

"No way, I saved your life."

I saw the little elephant's nose bent into a "U" shape, the tip of the pink nose was like a flexible finger, shaking towards Tong Zhe, suddenly bent its front legs slightly, shook its head again, then turned around, looked back and sat down. The two benefactors on the ground ran away with small brisk steps.After a while, there were one after another chirping sounds in the distance.

"We did something good today." Tong Zhe looked at Xia Ranjiang with a smirk.

"If we hadn't met the two of us, this elephant might have lost his life tonight. There are many carnivores here at night, and they will definitely follow the bloody smell of the wound." Xia Ranjiang said, with a long sigh Take a breath. "Tired?"

"Tired, but very refreshing."

"Isn't this the top of Maslow's pyramid?"

Xia Ranjiang stretched out his hand, trying to pick off the dried mud on Tong Zhe's face.

"Look at your dirty face."

"Neither are you."

Tong Zhe secretly grabbed a handful of mud and wiped Xia Ranjiang's face.

"Depend on."

Xia Ranjiang suddenly realized, jumped up and held Tong Zhe down.Tong Zhe buckled back and pinned Xia Ranjiang under him.Xia Ranjiang couldn't move.At this time, Tong Zhe's tense body relaxed, and his lips lightly pecked on Xia Ranjiang's.In the distance, there were bursts of long calls from elephants, as if they were celebrating something.

☆、Chapter 32

In this way, another month passed.This land has become Tong Zhe and Xia Ranjiang's Garden of Eden, and the past ten years seem to be compressed into a second, fleeting.It's just that, one second ago, it was still vigorous, and a second later, it was so calm.

One evening, Tong Zhe and Xia Ranjiang made an appointment and appeared near the national park.

"Are you sure you want to go in?" Xia Ranjiang whispered.

"I'm here, I must go in." Tong Zhe rubbed his hands excitedly. "You won't be afraid, will you?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Xia Ranjiang straightened up and looked around. "Just be careful, there might be an alarm here."

"Probably not, I have investigated it." Tong Zhe was quite confident. "They just want to buy our surveillance system. If there was an alarm, it would have gone off by now."

"Beep..."

A sharp siren exploded next to his ears, and Tong Zhe almost fell to the ground in shock.

But the alarm sounded only once and stopped abruptly.

"Fuck, what's going on..."

Tong Zhe raised his head slightly, Xia Ranjiang was hugging him tightly.

"Didn't you say there was no alarm?"

Xia Ranjiang let go of Tong Zhe and looked carefully at his feet, for fear of stepping on something that shouldn't be stepped on.

"Shh, don't talk."

Tong Zhe hugged Xia Ranjiang's head, and Xia Ranjiang was a little dazed.

All I could hear were intermittent conversations not far away and the rustling of grass and trees.

"What are they talking about?"

Tong Zhe was a little impatient.Although his English ability has improved rapidly over the years, he can only stare blankly in this extreme situation. He wanted to show off in front of Xia Ranjiang.

Xia Ranjiang broke free from Tong Zhe's arms and slowly approached the fence.

"We seem to have guessed right."

When the conversation disappeared, Xia Ranjiang turned around and pulled Tong Zhe aside.

"These two people should belong to the ivory gang. Recently they secretly purchased another batch of ivory, but the ivory has not arrived yet. They plan to kill some elephants for ivory after they get the ivory."

"Also, I heard some details just now, but I really can't hear them clearly. Every time they hunt and kill elephants, if they are found, they will plant the blame on the surrounding villagers and let the villagers take the blame."

"These bastards really deserve to be hacked to pieces!" Tong Zhe gritted his teeth with hatred.

"But it's useless to hear it, and it doesn't constitute any valid evidence."

"Then let's go in and find evidence."

Tong Zhe couldn't wait any longer, pushed aside the grass, and tiptoed through the gap in the fence.

"I don't know if they will act tonight."

Xia Ranjiang said in a low voice, hearing a few low roars of wild animals in the distance, and felt a little nervous.

"Over there, over there..."

Tong Zhe saw a beam of light from a distance, like a flashlight.

"Get down!"

Xia Ranjiang pressed Tong Zhe's head, and the beam of light just swept over.

A few minutes later, Tong Zhe raised his head slightly and found that the light was fading away.The two decided to follow.

I don't know how far I followed, and there was a rancid smell in the hot and humid air, and Tong Zhe suddenly had an ominous premonition.

At this moment, the person in front seemed to stop.Tong Zhe and Xia Ranjiang also stopped and hid in the grass half a person's height.

"They're going to start the crime."

Tong Zhe talked to himself, and took out his cell phone from his arms.But when the camera was turned on, nothing could be seen on the screen except a black spot.

"It's too dark, I guess I can't take pictures."

Tong Zhe felt a little regretful, he would have brought a high-definition camera with him if he had known.

At this time, Tong Zhe took a few steps forward.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? You will be found if you go any further!"

Xia Ranjiang wanted to catch Tong Zhe, but Tong Zhe moved too fast and missed.

Tong Zhe didn't seem to hear it, and walked forward with big strides carefully.Going around behind a flat rock, I took out my phone and called up the camera.The image on the screen was still blurry, but three people in uniform were clearly seen, holding guns in their hands, about to shoot an elephant!

Tong Zhe felt his heart beating faster, so he decisively took a picture.

At this time, Tong Zhe felt a pain in his arm as if being pricked by a needle, and instinctively waved his hand, just hitting the gravel in front of him.The stone fell with a "bang", rolled forward along the slope, made a "rustling" sound through the weeds, and stopped at the feet of the uniform.

This sudden situation made Tong Zhe a little dazed, and quickly got down on the ground, sticking to the ground tightly.However, the subduing man seemed to be vigilant, kicked away the stones, and went up the slope with a gun.

Suddenly, there was a whistle in the grass not far away.Tong Zhe's blood welled up immediately - it was Xia Ranjiang!

Xia Ranjiang thought that Tong Zhe had been discovered, and in order to save him, he could only make a sound to attract the subduer's attention.This trick seemed to work. The subdued man followed the sound and walked to the right at a 90-degree angle. His back was bent, the butt of the gun was pressed against his lower abdomen, and the trigger was pulled by his fingertips, ready to fire at any time.

Tong Zhe saw that the subduer had changed his route, and knew that Xia Ranjiang was doomed. He stood up, picked up the head-sized stone, and followed closely behind the subduer with small steps.

However, the subduer seems to have been vigilant for a long time.The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Tong Zhe raised a stone and threw it at the subduer, but the subduer quickly dodged before the stone fell, and then ran away for a certain distance, raised his gun, and aimed at Tong Zhe.

"Tong Zhe!"

With a piercing roar, Xia Ranjiang rushed out.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, a sparkling light spot suddenly appeared in the darkness, and Xia Ranjiang was shot and fell to the ground.

Tong Zhe thought he was doomed, but suddenly Xia Ranjiang jumped out of the grass and blocked the bullet in front of him.When Tong Zhe came to his senses, he only saw Xia Ranjiang lying beside him.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran..."

Tong Zhe picked up Xia Ranjiang, but his hands were sticky, and the smell of blood rushed into his nose.
