Mr. Qiao wants Gu Mian and Qin Sheng to stay together and guard the headquarters, Qin Sheng has not reacted yet, but Gu Mian is a bit anxious.
"Mr. Qiao, I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while now and sleep, and I'll be okay tomorrow." Gu Mian thought Mr. Qiao was worried that she was too tired today and wouldn't have the energy for tomorrow, so he made these arrangements.
She followed him here just to gain knowledge and get trained, if she was taken care of everywhere and couldn't even take the stage herself, then what's the point of her following him here.
"Don't worry, I have my reasons for arranging it this way. Tomorrow is just to take a look at the situation, going with so many people won't be fun anyway, and it's better to leave some people behind to rest and prepare. Besides, our destination isn't far from here. Yang Lin said that this is the best place to set up camp, and we'll also need to leave someone here after we're ready. You and Qin Sheng will stay behind to guard the camp, and Yang Lin's side will also have people staying behind." Mr. Qiao comforted Gu Xiang, who seemed a bit anxious.
Although Mr. Qiao said that leaving Gu Mei was to take care of the camp, Gu Mei still felt that Mr. Qiao's intention of taking care of her was more important. Taking care of the camp was also a big deal, as everything in the camp, including food, utensils, and equipment, were necessities. In such a remote wilderness, there were no people around, and none of these things could be missing.
"Mr. Qiao is right, even if we followed him, it would be of no use." Qin Sheng echoed.
Gu Mei was just anxious for a moment earlier. The team leader is Mr. Qiao, and she can only obey him. What reason does she have to show her disapproval?
"I understand, I'll follow Mr. Qiao's arrangement." Gu Mian nodded.
"You're not free tomorrow either, we'll go ahead and check the situation, you guys just wander around the surroundings and see if there's anything strange. But be careful, don't get lost." Mr. Qiao reminded them.
"Yes." Gu Mian and Qin Sheng nodded in unison.
When going out, everything is simple.
Although Gu Mei was a woman, due to limited resources and the fact that they were in the wilderness, for safety reasons, she wasn't allowed to sleep alone. Since everyone slept in their clothes inside sleeping bags at night anyway, she was arranged to be on the inside, with Qin Sheng sleeping outside her.
The last time I slept in a tent was when I followed Professor Wang to Taiyuan. Although the conditions at the ancient tomb in Taiyuan were not good either, they were much better than here. At least at that time, the men's and women's tents were separate, unlike now where everyone is mixed together.
The one sleeping outside was Qin Sheng, which made Gu Mei somewhat uncomfortable. However, this was still better than letting her go and squeeze in with Zhang Jing.
Although Zhang Jing is a woman, she and Gu Mian are not very familiar with each other, plus there are two leaders in this inspection team. Gu Mian is not too willing to have too much involvement with Zhang Jing.
Gao Wei wasn't quite sure, but Mr. Qiao and Qin Sheng were both very considerate of her on this trip, and being with people from their own side always made them feel a bit more at ease.
Gu Miao lay quietly in her sleeping bag, thinking about falling asleep soon, but probably because she was sharing a tent with another man. She closed her eyes for a while and couldn't fall asleep.
Weiwei slightly moved her neck, and Gu Mian couldn't help but glance at Qin Sheng beside her. It wasn't yet Qin Sheng's turn to keep watch, so he was taking the opportunity to catch some sleep.
The faint light from the bonfire outside cast an intermittent glow on Qin Sheng's face.
Looking at Qin Sheng like this, for some reason, Gu Meng suddenly remembered the time when Qin Sheng pulled over to the side of the road and talked to her. At that time, she only felt a little surprised by Qin Sheng's words, but every time she thought about it after returning home, she would feel a little uneasy.
Afterwards, Qin Sheng didn't say anything else, but every move he made was more likely to attract Gu Mian's attention. Especially in the past few days when they were out, Qin Sheng spent most of his time walking by her side, and anyone with eyes could see that Qin Sheng was taking care of her.
She didn't dare say anything. That was a lie, but Gu Mian didn't know what she really thought in her heart either.
To Qin Sheng. She admits that she actually has a crush on him, but before this, she hadn't thought about what would happen between her and Qin Sheng; all she could think about was studying hard to improve herself, but now...
"Can't sleep?" Qin Sheng, who was lying beside him and hadn't fallen asleep either, had also noticed Gu Mian's gaze on him. He waited until he thought Gu Mian had looked enough before speaking up.
"There's something." Gu Mian was taken aback at first, and after meeting Qin Sheng's eyes, she slightly shifted her gaze away with a hint of guilt.
She couldn't tell if it was her misconception, but she always felt that Qin Sheng's eyes seemed to glow in the dark, making people feel some pressure involuntarily.
"It's normal that you can't sleep well for the first time sleeping outdoors, and you'll get used to it after a few more times." Qin Sheng said in a low voice.
Qin Sheng was sleeping next to Mr. Qiao, who had already started snoring softly and had apparently fallen into a deep sleep.
"Judging from your tone, it seems like you used to sleep outdoors often." Anyway, unable to fall asleep, Gu Mian curiously looked at Qin Sheng and asked.
"There was a time when I often slept outdoors. Fortunately, winter was approaching soon, and there were fewer mosquitoes outside. If it were summer, if the tent wasn't tightly closed, those mosquitoes would be flying around like bombers everywhere. And many of the outdoor mosquitoes are poisonous ones. If you get bitten by one, it's not a pleasant experience." Qin Sheng sighed, seemingly still having a lingering fear of those poisonous mosquitoes.
"Have you been a soldier before?" This really piqued Gu Mian's curiosity, Qin Sheng was an antique dealer, where would he have the opportunity to come out into the wilderness?
Qin Sheng was quite generous and quickly replied: "I'm a graduate of a military academy."
"You graduated from a military academy, you should be an officer when you come out, how did you end up doing antique business, and still... being someone else's employee."
Gu Menglan glanced at Qin Sheng, unable to understand his thoughts. She had never seen the boss of Gu Hongzhai before, but judging from Qin Sheng's appearance, he didn't seem like a boss, but rather a management personnel with more decision-making power.
These days, graduates from regular military academies are in high demand and have good welfare benefits. It doesn't make sense for a good officer to run away and work as an hourly worker in an antique shop.
Moreover, looking at Qin Sheng's appearance, he doesn't seem to be an outsider either. Originally, she thought that Qin Sheng's major should have something to do with antiques and cultural relics, but she never expected that the other party would actually be a graduate of a military academy, which has nothing to do with this.
No wonder Qin Sheng and Yu Xiao have such a good relationship, maybe they are from the same school, even the same class.
"Attending a military academy was what my family hoped for, as for the work afterwards, of course I will choose something I like." Qin Sheng smiled lightly.
"It's also true that you have to be interested in what you're doing. " Gu Ming's gaze began to uncontrollably scan Qin Sheng's body, a military school graduate with a great physique.
Knowing that Qin Sheng actually graduated from a military academy, Gu Mei became even more curious about him and also wanted to know what his family did and how they agreed not to be an officer but instead ran ancient artifacts.
However, this involves other people's private matters, and she is also embarrassed to ask too much, so she can only hold back her impulse.
The two of them chatted casually for a couple of sentences before stopping, afraid of waking up Mr. Qiao next to them. Gu Mian thought he would have to toss and turn for a long time before falling asleep again, but unexpectedly, after stopping the conversation with Qin Sheng, he fell fast asleep in no time and was still woken up by someone the next morning.
Mr. Qiao took Gao Wei, while Yang Lin took Jiang Liang, the four of them had a simple breakfast and set off, the others stayed behind to take care of the base camp and sort out the things they brought along.
It was too late yesterday and nothing was collected. Since it has been decided to make this a temporary base, it's necessary to collect and tidy up.
Zhang Jing made an excuse to take a walk around and solve some personal problems, so she left the camp early. Lin Hai stayed behind to pack up their belongings.
Gu Meng always thought that Lin Hai was quite tolerant, it had been so long since then, and he still hadn't come to talk to them about the matter of their encounter at the temporary trading point that day.
Yang Lin and Jiang Liang have left, and Zhang Jing has also gone out. It's a great opportunity for her to come over and ask questions.
As expected, Zhang Jing had just left when Lin Hai arrived at Gu Mei and Qin Sheng's side.
"These past few days, I haven't had the chance to talk to you two alone. Who would have thought that we'd hit it off so well? At the time, I just felt like you two were definitely intellectuals, and looking at you now, you seem quite amiable too. As it turns out, my guess was spot on! I'm a person with no cultural background, but what I admire most are people who study hard. Archaeological identification isn't something that just anyone can do." Lin Hai smiled and handed Qin Sheng a cigarette, saying to the two of them.
"We were also quite surprised, but there were too many people and you didn't mention it so we didn't dare to bring it up." Qin Sheng took the cigarette and didn't even light it, just started chatting with Lin Hai like that.
"I have something I'd like to discuss with you two." Lin Hai looked around cautiously, making sure Zhang Jing hadn't returned, before speaking in a low voice to Qin Sheng and Gu Mian.
"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng looked at Lin Hai.
"Have you guys ever mentioned to others about what happened when we met at the temporary trading point?" Lin Hai asked.
Qin Sheng shook his head: "It's nothing big, just a coincidence, we haven't mentioned it to anyone else."
Lin Hai seemed to let out a sigh of relief: "That day I also received some small things to exchange for money, this matter Old Yang and the others don't know about it, I don't know if you can help me keep it a secret?"
