Career in Power - Chapter 442: 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 sounded tired. He was sleepy and tired, and his nerves seemed to be about to collapse. This was not training, but torture.

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

"Well, I'm a passerby. I'm lost. I want to rest here for a night. Please make it easier for me." Lu Yan said politely.

The old man blocked the door and refused to let it open, and uttered a string of incomprehensible words in local slang.

Lu Yan said impatiently: "I just went in to beg for food and find a place to sleep. You get out of the way." After saying that, he didn't care whether the old man agreed or not, he just broke in like a robber.

.People are like this at this time. Although Lu Yan is usually polite, he still considers it from his own point of view when encountering such a situation. After all, this training will last for more than a week, and lack of rest will be fatal.

The old man shouted tremblingly from behind: "My family has no money, please leave. If you don't have any money, leave quickly."

Lu Yan secretly felt funny. Did he come all the way from the north to the south just to be a bandit? But when he thought about what he had done, he was really no better than a bandit.

He went in and took a look. There were four houses, three dark rooms and one bright room. One of the three dark rooms was used as a bedroom, and the other two were used as storage rooms. The bright room was the living room, and there was a

There is a table of Eight Immortals and four chairs. On the wall in the middle hangs a painting of a figure. The painting is covered with thick black dust and it is difficult to tell who the figure is.

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

The old man followed him in, his face was angry, and he kept saying things that Lu Yan couldn't understand at all. He felt that the old man was pretending, and he still spoke Mandarin when he opened the door, and after a while he couldn't understand Lu Yan.

words.

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

"What's the compensation?" When the old man saw that Lu Yan was not going to leave or rob his home, he finally calmed down and spoke Mandarin again.

"I'll give you this backpack." Lu Yan didn't have a penny on him. Only this pickpocketed backpack was worth some money. After all, it was new and worth about a hundred or ten yuan.

"What do I need 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 me to love you? I have nothing to give you anyway." 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 very 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 several figures in the patio. It turned out that it was the old man who just walked in with two old ladies in their fifties.

The old man said angrily as he walked: "You guys help me judge, is there such a thing in the world? He took over my house and acted like a young master. He is just like a robber. I think he is probably not a good person."

.”

Lu Yan sighed, found the old man's dry clothes and put them on, then slowly opened the door. Although the old man found two helpers, they did not dare to come in. Lu Yan stood at the door and made an inviting gesture and said: "Come in, we can

Let’s talk calmly.”

The old man hesitated for a long time and wanted to move 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.

When Lu Yan saw that they refused to come over, he said: "I'm just staying here for a few days, and I haven't stolen or robbed you. What are you afraid of? I am a person who respects the old and loves the young. I am not a robber. Yesterday

My friend and I got separated in the mountains at night, and I didn't sleep all night. Isn't it okay to borrow your place to rest for a few days?"

An old lady advised: "Uncle Zhong, don't think too much. He is just a young man who has lost his way. Just stay for a few days."

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

The old lady said in surprise: "Hey, we are here to help you. How come you bite Lu Dongbin and don't know a good heart? I'm leaving and I'm too lazy to meddle in your family's business."

The two old ladies left, and Lu Yan ignored the old man. He opened the door and went to sleep until the afternoon. There was no sun in the sky here. To know the time, there was a quartz wall clock in the old man's house.

Keep time.

In the evening, Lu Yan looked at the cold and air-conditioned house, sighed, went to the kitchen to find firewood and cooked a meal. There were no vegetables, so he pulled out a few spinach and radishes in the vegetable garden, and added the only remaining food from the old man's house.

I made two dishes with a few eggs and invited the old man to eat together.

The old man was not polite to him. When he greeted him for dinner, he walked over and sat down together with Lu Yan to eat. After eating, Lu Yan put away the tableware and washed it. The old man saw him working.

OK, the bad feeling gradually disappeared.

Xi Zhangma, who was far away at the training base, saw that Lu Yan never moved again after walking in the mountains all night. It was obvious that he had found a place to rest. But the small village was not marked on the map at all.

From Ma's point of view, she was surviving in the wild, but it was a bit close to the provincial highway, so it was not a true wild survival.

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

Lu Yan also gradually learned that there used to be dozens of families in this small village. In the past ten years, many families had moved to the city. There were only a few orphans, widowed mothers and the like left here. Most of them were

People who have no ability to work and those who have ability have gone to work in the city, and young people are no longer seen. According to the popular saying, this is a left-behind village.

Lu Yan also learned from the old man that many young people in the village did not come back even during the Chinese New Year. Some of them sent money back to the elderly on a regular basis, and some were nowhere to be found and had not been seen for several years.

This is the current situation in the countryside near Yangcheng. The land can no longer keep young people. The old people guard their big houses and land and refuse to leave. There is no telling when these people will be buried in their own land.

in.

This is not only the case in Yangcheng, but also in other rural areas throughout China. Young people have left the land where their ancestors have lived for generations and are flocking to more prosperous and civilized cities. They work hard in various industries, build cities, and work hard.

If you want to be a city dweller, only those who have lost the ability to work will stay in their hometowns and farm the land every day.

The week passed quickly. After a week of getting along, the relationship between Lu Yan and the old man became much harmonious. When Lu Yan was leaving, Uncle Zhong reluctantly said: "My child, you are a fugitive, and I accept it."

, I can’t survive outside anymore, so

Come here to keep company with my old man. I don’t dislike you, and I’m not afraid of being implicated. Having you talking to me every day still makes me feel hopeful. Alas! I’m old and useless, and my children are all working in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

It’s not easy to come back to business once a year.”

Lu Yan held the old man's hand and said, "Uncle, don't think of me so bad. In fact, I am really a good person."

"Don't lie to me. That's the highway over there. You got lost and took a ride into the city. Why are you staying at my house? I know that you young people are ambitious and want to be busy. It's too poor here.

Now, you guys can't get used to living here." The old man looked at Lu Yan and said.

The old man's words may be reasonable, but they make Lu Yan a little bit dumbfounded. Thinking about his appearance, he does not look like the good people above, but he can't say that he came to survive in the wild, let alone explain the ins and outs of this, so he has to

He walked away vaguely.

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

Xi Zhangma is not that easy to deceive. In the past few days, Lu Yan has been sitting in one place without moving. Although he cannot see where Lu Yan is, the location of Lu Yan can be clearly traced from the surveillance camera.

Xi Zhangma once visited, and that small village had fallen in his eyes. Only then did he realize that Lu Yan did not engage in outdoor survival at all, but was hiding in the homes of ordinary people, protected from the wind and rain, and still had food to eat.

The sleeping place was like a vacation. After receiving a call from Lu Yan, he said angrily: "I don't have a car or a plane. How can I pick you up? You can find a way to come back by yourself. You haven't been hungry for so many days."

I'll kill you, it seems you still have some ideas."

After hearing this, Lu Yan felt very shocked, but he was used to the personality of the Intelligence Bureau and knew that it would be useless to talk any more. He had to walk out of the forest and walk to the roadside, where he was stuck in traffic for three hours.

Only then did he find a car that was willing to take him for free and take him back to Yangcheng City.

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, "Boss, did I pass my wilderness survival training? There are taxis outside waiting for you to pay."

Xi Zhangma found the wallet that Lu Yan had left with him, threw it over and said, "The money is all 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, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong? You have such a long face. Did you quarrel with your wife? Or is the child disobedient?"

Xi Zhangma stared and said, "Are you done yet? I'm not letting you get angry? I asked you to receive training, but you went to a fellow villager's house to enjoy the blessings. Is there a woman with you?"

"Hey, you already know this?" Lu Yan said disapprovingly: "In the countryside, there are no young people. They are all old men and women over fifty or sixty years old. I am not idle either. I have been helping the fellow villagers these days.

Planting the land and chopping firewood."
