Following the middle-aged man's gaze, Gu Chen discovered that there was a container sitting on a gentle spot on the mountainside.

To be precise, this is an assembled mobile house with doors and windows.

There are some wooden boxes placed at the door, which should be material supplies from the surveying and mapping company.

Looking at the underwear fluttering in the wind between the mobile house and the big tree, Gu Chen knew that these people had been surveying this area for a long time.

Zhao Kai seemed to notice Gu Chen's curiosity and said with a faint smile: "I have been living in this mobile house in the six months since I graduated."

"You live here?" Gu Chen looked at Zhao Kai curiously and said lightly: "That place looks very small."

"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs." Zhao Kai said with a smile while packing up his surveying and mapping equipment: "People who have been engaged in field surveying may think it is nothing."

"After all, the work during the day is very simple, such as climbing mountains, setting out, setting up instruments, and measuring. These are all daily routines."

After closing the zipper of the instrument in the packaging bag, Zhao Kai lifted up the luggage bag: "By the way, once I finish running the red circles on the planning map, I can pack my things and go to the next place."

"You mean... resign?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Zhao Kai nodded silently: "Those who can stay here are all masters. In contrast, the most difficult thing is actually at night, especially... when there is only 2G signal on the mobile phone."

"Then I wish you good luck." Gu Chen didn't know why Zhao Kai told him so much?

In other words, is it because he seems to be more approachable? That's why Zhao Kai complained to himself?

After all, being manipulated by others, earning a low salary, and enjoying endless loneliness may be the inner struggle of Zhao Kai, who has just graduated.

But people are often so contradictory. They can vent freely physically, but dare not vent freely psychologically.

"Gu Chen." After everyone rested briefly on the mountainside, Bai Xiaolan took out a bottle of water from the mule's bamboo basket and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Gu Chen took the water and asked Bai Xiaolan: "Do you know how long it took to survey the terrain here?"

"I don't know." Bai Xiaolan drank the mineral water in her hand and shook her head: "The exploration team here has been exploring for a long time."

"According to some information I received before, I heard that there may be a mine in this area, but I don't know what it is exactly."

Looking at Zhao Kai returning to the mobile house, Bai Xiaolan added: "But whether there are mines here has nothing to do with the relocation of these villagers. Even the 2G signal here is very weak, so it is not cost-effective to lay a signal tower here."

"So...the villagers here are out of touch with the times?" Gu Chen asked.

Bai Xiaolan nodded silently: "More or less, they are all elderly people. It is difficult for the working group to work with them. You still have to go to the police."

"No problem." Gu Chen looked up at the mountain and asked with a smile: "It shouldn't be far, right?"

"I heard it will take half an hour to walk like this." Bai Xiaolan said.

Wu Jun on the side calculated the time and suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "Then hurry up and go up and down the mountain early. I think the weather today is not very good and it may rain later."

"Okay." Officer Wang stood up from the lawn and urged Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha: "Hurry up."

Everyone led the mules and continued to drive up the mountain.

Came to the village at 11 a.m. and did ideological work with the left-behind villagers.

Coupled with the TV station's charitable fund support, most villagers expressed their willingness to accept relocation.

Everyone immediately distributed red envelopes of donations to the villagers.

All the filming was not as difficult as imagined, and the villagers still have considerable trust in the police.

A few warm-hearted villagers even wanted to persuade everyone to have lunch at home before leaving.

However, they were all rejected by Gu Chen’s team and Bai Xiaolan.

Everyone wants to go down the mountain early...

The sky in this area is constantly changing.

It was still sunny before, but suddenly, when everyone was about to lead the mules down the mountain, the whole sky seemed to have changed its expression, and suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy.

"Speed ​​up the pace." Officer Wang, who was walking at the front, kept urging everyone.

However, after all, it was a hike, and Bai Xiaolan's physical strength was the weakest in the entire team. Climbing back and forth up and down the mountain had exhausted Bai Xiaolan's physical strength, and her walking was extremely slow.

In order to ensure that everyone did not fall behind, Gu Chen walked at the end, and together with Lu Weiwei, supported Bai Xiaolan along the way.

"It won't work like this. It looks like there will be a heavy rain soon." After careful assessment, photographer Wu Jun said: "Why don't we go to the exploration team on the mountainside to take a rest and take shelter from the rain, otherwise the equipment will be damaged."

"There is no other choice." Officer Wang looked at Bai Xiaolan behind him and said with disappointment: "With Bai Xiaolan's physique, she will probably have to ride a mule down the mountain later."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky.

Everyone looked at the sky in unison.

"Xiaolan, hurry up." Gu Chen turned around and urged.

"I can't, I can't." Bai Xiaolan waved her hands and said exhaustedly: "I twisted my foot when I was going down the mountain. Now my ankle keeps hurting. I can't walk fast, so why don't you go first."

"What are you talking about? Why did we leave you alone in the mountains?" Lu Weiwei said angrily. She walked directly in front of Bai Xiaolan and said with her back to Bai Xiaolan: "Come up, I will carry you."

"I'll do it." Gu Chen also made the same move.

Bai Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, hating her legs for not living up to expectations.

Although I thought the mountain road would be rough, I didn't expect that I would sprain my ankle.

I didn't dare to say it just now, but now it's about to rain heavily, and I have become a dragster again. Bai Xiaolan feels aggrieved for a while.

But Gu Chen was willing to betray someone, and Bai Xiaolan couldn't refuse, so she could only say gratefully: "Thank you very much, Gu Chen."

The group of people continued to walk forward, and it started to rain sporadicly.

Gu Chen drank two cans of energy drinks before carrying someone on his back. At this moment, his steps felt like wind. Bai Xiaolan, who was carrying less than 50 kilograms on his back, was also walking quickly, surpassing Officer Wang and Wu Jun in a few clicks.

"My God, this Gu Chen's physical strength is so good." Wu Jun has never seen such an operation before. How can he still run while carrying someone?

Officer Wang was not surprised and said with a faint smile: "It's nothing. I went with him to the mountains to look for a lost little girl before. He was also like this, walking as fast as flying."

"I chased him for several kilometers and couldn't catch up with him. You know how good this guy is at running. Anyway, in terms of physical strength, Gu Chen has never lost to anyone."

"Then let's not wait around. Let's hurry up." Wu Jun took the stupid mule and kept pulling it forward.

Gu Chen was the first to arrive at the mountainside...

At this moment, the light rain has fallen sporadically, and a red flag is erected outside the door of the mobile house.

Gu Chen saw Zhao Kai standing at the door from a distance...

"Come in and take shelter from the rain. Noodles are being cooked inside. Do you want to join us?" Zhao Kai stepped aside and asked.

"Thank you, we've already had lunch." Gu Chen put down Bai Xiaolan and took a look inside the house.

In addition to the middle-aged man I saw outside just now, there is also a man similar to Zhao Kai's age.

The two of them were sitting together, with several bottles of beer on the table.

Seeing someone coming outside, the middle-aged man stood up directly and waved: "Comrade police, come in and sit down."

"Thank you." Gu Chen let Bai Xiaolan and Lu Weiwei go into the room first, while he took an umbrella to meet photographer Wu Jun.

Help Wu Jun safely transport the equipment back to the mobile board room.

Everyone complained about the weather and made various complaints.

Gu Chen also saw several packed luggage in the house, then turned around and asked Zhao Kai at the door: "Who is leaving?"

"The two of them." Zhao Kai, who was leaning at the door, couldn't help but glance at the two people in the room, and said with regret: "It doesn't matter, I'm just staying here alone, and I don't even have a high temperature subsidy. I really don't know what else to do."

What can I say."

It seems that Zhao Kai can only prove that he has enough things and earn respectability in the eyes of others by making himself look like he doesn't care about everything.

At this moment, the other two men also carried their luggage, put on their raincoats, and walked to the door to say goodbye to everyone.

The middle-aged man patted Zhao Kai on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhao, I will trouble you these days."

"Don't leave in a hurry, stay here for a few days, the air here is so nice." Zhao Kai said with a smile.

"No." The middle-aged man waved his hand, then pointed to a corner in the room and said, "These are enough for you to eat for a while. There are a few bottles of wine in the box behind. I'll leave them for you. Come on."

Patting Zhao Kai on the shoulder, the middle-aged man followed the young man, took his luggage, and disappeared into the hazy rain while wearing a raincoat.

"Yes." Wu Jun looked around for a week and said with a smile: "Now that your companion has left, this place has become our territory, and you have a new partner, brother."

"Alas!" Zhao Kai knew Wu Jun was joking, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "When will this day end?"

Returning to the mobile cabin, Zhao Kai sat on his bed, looked at Gu Chen and said jokingly:

“In the evaluation form for the first quarter after joining the company, in order not to affect my future promotion, I chose ‘no’ in the column ‘Do I need to transfer’.”

"After all, what I'm more afraid of than my inner anxiety and dissatisfaction is other people's evaluation and vision. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"A little bit." Gu Chen also told the truth and said: "Since you don't like to stay, then mention it. How will others know if you don't mention it?"

"Forget it, I asked for it this time. Even if I change my unit, it's still the same. I'm still the same coward."

After all, Gu Chen was an outsider, so Zhao Kai had many things that he would not tell his colleagues in the unit.

Now that I see Gu Chen, I can't wait to reveal all the loneliness and depression I've been feeling these days.

"In fact, in front-line construction units, it is normal to work all year round, and it is also an established rule for newcomers to stay behind during the Spring Festival."

"You never take a break while working?" Gu Chen asked.
