In the evening, a rumbling sound came from one side of the canyon, and then a civilian helicopter appeared over the canyon. It hovered over the camp for about two minutes and then began to lower its altitude, finally landing on a river beach.
Ji Wengui led the members of the archaeological team to greet them, and there were only two "outsiders" left in the camp, Ning Tao and Jian Mi.
"Brother Ning, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Jian Mi hesitated to speak.
Ning Tao smiled and said, "You can talk if you want to. Why are you hesitating?"
Jian Mi said: "I think they went a little too far. If we hadn't met you by chance that time, we would have all died in the poisonous miasma. You just proposed to join their team, but they actually rejected you. No mercy at all." I won’t even leave it for you, let alone repay your life-saving grace.”
Ning Tao said: "So that's what happened. Don't mention it again in the future."
Jian Mi said in surprise: "Why?"
Ning Tao said: "I am a doctor, and it is my bounden duty to treat illnesses and save people. I have never thought about asking for anything in return. Also, one thing comes to another. They have their own ideas and difficulties. I can understand it. It's okay not to join."
Jian Mi snorted angrily: "Brother Ning, you can figure it out. I can't. I'm just angry at their attitude. I won't lead them any more in the future."
At this time, the helicopter stalled and the wings slowly stopped. The door of the cabin opened, and a tall woman with long legs walked out of the cabin, and then a young man walked out of the cabin. The man and woman are both young, the man is only in his early thirties, and the woman is in her mid-twenties. Both of them were wearing outdoor sportswear. The man was handsome and handsome, while the woman was beautiful and generous. I don’t know what the relationship between the two is, but they seem to be a very well-matched couple.
Ning Tao looked at the two people coming out of the helicopter and couldn't help but think about it.
Owning a private helicopter in his early thirties is something that most people his age would never dare to think about. Most of the rich kids of his age are still enjoying life, driving famous cars and becoming celebrities, but he invested in an archaeological team that is about to be disbanded. This is really puzzling.
"Jian Mi, let's go and have a look too." Ning Tao said.
Jian Mi said: "I don't want to go. If you insist on me going, I will go."
This made Ning Tao laugh. "If you really don't want to go, just stay here. I'll go take a look and come back." He walked towards the helicopter. Jian Mi raised the corner of her mouth. She felt unhappy, but she still followed him.
Next to the helicopter, after shaking hands with Ji Wengui, the young man introduced himself, "I, Tu Wenjin, this is my girlfriend, her name is Tang Zixian."
Tang Zixian also shook hands with Ji Wengui, and said with a smile, "Hello, Captain Ji, I have loved history since I was a child. I once had a dream of becoming an archaeologist. I also hope that Captain Ji will take care of me and help me realize it." This dream."
Ji Wengui said politely: "Miss Tang is serious. If you need anything, just ask."
Ning Tao, who had just walked to the side of the crowd, stopped and said to himself: "The surname is Tang... she can't be..." He was more sensitive to people named Tang, so he awakened the sight and smell skills of his eyes and nose. state. In his sight, Tang Zixian's innate aura was normal, without the aura of a cultivator or the inner energy release of a martial artist. Her boyfriend Tu Wenjin is also normal, just an ordinary person.
Ning Tao ended the state of watching and hearing skills, and secretly said in his heart: "Maybe I am too sensitive."
Ji Wengui introduced the members of the archaeological team to Tu Wenjin and Tang Zixian one by one, and the members of the archaeological team also shook hands with Tu Wenjin and Tang Zixian one by one.
"Who is this?" Tu Wenjin's eyes fell on Ning Tao, who was standing behind. Ji Wengui introduced all the members of the archaeological team, but did not introduce Ning Tao, and Jian Mi, who was standing next to Ning Tao. However, from his first glance, it was obvious that the simplicity of the mountain people's attire did not appeal to him.
"Oh, this is Dr. Ning Taoning." Ji Wengui added, "He is here to collect medicine."
Tang Zixian's eyes also fell on Ning Tao, her face calm.
"Not from the archaeological team?" Tu Wenjin asked again.
Ji Wengui said: "No."
Tu Wenjin just nodded to Ning Tao and gave a simple nod of greeting, without even saying a word.
Ning Tao returned the smile as a greeting. The other party is a bit arrogant, but nodding and greeting is considered a greeting, and not responding is a bit ungraceful.
The scene is a bit embarrassing.
Tang Zixian said: "Everyone, please help move things. Wen Jin and I brought some supplies and equipment."
Ji Wengui immediately said: "Everyone takes action, unload the supplies first, and then move them back to the camp."
Ning Tao turned and left, "Jian Mi, let's go back to the village."
"Yeah." Jian Mi responded and followed Ning Tao away. He didn't want to stay in this place anymore.
Ma Tongtong chased after him, "Dr. Ning, you... where are you going?"
Ning Tao said: "Go back to the village first, and then go back after getting the medicinal materials."
"Not staying for two more days?" Ma Tongtong's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Ning Tao said: "I came here originally to explore with you. Since the archaeological team does not welcome me, there is no point in my staying. I will go back to Woyun Village to get some medicinal materials, and then go back."
"How about I go talk to Mr. Tu? He is a sponsor. If he nods, Ji Wengui will nod as well." Ma Tongtong said.
Ning Tao smiled, "That's not necessary. Am I the kind of doctor that no one wants? Now even if they ask me to go back, I won't stay. Besides, it's been two days since I came out, so it's time to go back." Check it out.”
Ma Tongtong sighed, "You are in such a hurry to go back. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. You haven't seen your girlfriend for two days and you miss her, right?"
Ning Tao couldn't help but picture Qing Zhui in his mind, and then he felt strange in his heart. Why did he think of Qing Zhui when Ma Tongtong said "girlfriend"
Ma Tongtong looked at Ning Tao and said tentatively: "Did I tell you right?"
Ning Tao was a little embarrassed, "She is not a clingy woman, she is used to being wild."
"What's her name?" Ma Tongtong was about to break the casserole and ask the question.
"Qing Zhui." Ning Tao said. This was the first time he admitted that Qing Zhui was his girlfriend in this way in front of others. It was also strange. After saying it, he felt a very special sense of relief.
Ma Tongtong's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "She must be very beautiful, right?"
Ning Tao nodded, "It is indeed beautiful."
"Well, say hello to her for me and wish you happiness." Ma Tongtong said this and turned around to leave.
She was sure that she had a crush on Ning Tao, which was normal. Ning Tao was handsome, kind-hearted, and capable. The most important thing was that he had saved her life. But good men are so in demand, and he has already decided on her, so her feelings for him are strangled in the cradle. Fortunately, it was just a budding good feeling. She felt a little sad in her heart, but it was not hurt. She believed that she would be able to get over it soon.
Ning Tao suddenly remembered something and caught up with Ma Tongtong, "Dr. Ma, please wait a moment."
Ma Tongtong said: "Is there anything else?"
Ning Tao lowered his voice, "I always feel that something is wrong with Tu Wenjin and Tang Zixian. You should be more careful and take care of yourself."
"Thank you." Ma Tongtong smiled at Ning Tao, "You are so kind to me, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous?"
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled, "Is she jealous? She wishes she could..."
Only when he said this did he realize that he had slipped his lips.
"What does she want?" Ma Tongtong asked.
She wished that Ning Tao would quickly find another woman to marry, but how could he say such a weird thing
"That's it, be careful and take care of yourself. I'm leaving." Ning Tao turned and left.
Ma Tongtong looked at Ning Tao's back, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
Next to the helicopter, Tang Zixian also looked at Ning Tao's back. There was no expression on her face. Her eyes were very sharp, as if she wanted to penetrate Ning Tao's back and reach into his heart.
Tu Wenjin came to Tang Zixian's side, "Is he..."
Tang Zixian interrupted him, "Go move things."
Tu Wenjin nodded and went to move things.
Ma Tongtong returned, head lowered, looking listless.
Ji Wengui came to Ma Tongtong's side, "What did he tell you?"
Ma Tongtong then raised her head and glanced at Ji Wengui, "Why do you ask this?"
Ji Wengui frowned slightly, "Xiao Ma, our team has been together for three years. We have experienced so much together. Don't you still know what kind of person I am? I know you because I don't agree with Ning. The doctor is not happy to join, but this is the result of everyone's vote, not my opinion alone. Everything I do is for the benefit of our team and the benefit of the country! Is this difficult to understand? "
Ma Tongtong said: "That's nice to say, but what about those two people? They joined when they said they wanted to, so what do you think about this? I understand, it's not because they have money, but because they have ideals, right?"
"You..." Ji Wengui became angry on the spot.
Ma Tongtong added, "I hope we won't encounter a poisonous miasma in the future, otherwise we won't be able to spend the money we have!"
Ji Wengui was speechless.
When we walked out of the valley, it became dark.
Ning Tao stopped and said, "Jian Mi, let's find a place nearby here to spend the night. The road is not easy to walk at night."
Jian Mi said: "I think so too, let's spend the night on the river beach, and I'll collect firewood to make a fire."
Ning Tao said: "You go collect firewood and make a fire, and I'll find some food."
After agreeing with Jian Mi, Ning Tao entered the mountain forest, but instead of looking for game, he sneaked towards the archaeological team's camp from the side of the mountain forest.
