Chapter 8 (1/2)
”And you say you are not gangsters!”
“It's not ‘you', it's ‘we', comrade,” corrected him Gua Two He smiled and patted shi+ Jin's shoulder “Little JinJin, you should believe Gua Three—we really are honest businessoes in our trucks are really oes?”
“Well…” Gua Two retracted his hand and asked kindly, “Little JinJin, are you tired? Do you want to change seats?”
Isn't your way of changing the topic a little too randoas pedal, pulling closer to the vehicle in front
In the early , the convoy left the dirt road and headed deeper into the jungle through an uneven, obviously teh self-awareness to knoas not experienced enough to control the big truck under these circumstances, so he asked Gua Two to take over
After another torturous hour, the convoy finally arrived at its destination—a hidden village built in the depths of the jungle
Gua Two got out of the truck and said a feords to a thin e The roup of e clothes came out of the hidden shacks and without a word started unloading the goods
shi+ Jin kept observing the men and noticed that there were traces of the military mannerisms in their demeanor His heart jule, unidentified cargo, that ambush on the way and probably military recipients… Gua Two's task was obviously not a simple delivery It's better for hi too nosy
Gua T shi+ Jin's movements out of the corner of his eye and his soods were unloaded quickly, and the dark green e one after another In less than a quarter of an hour, the trucks were completely empty Gua Two bid farewell to the skinny man and returned to the cab
“Are you tired?” Thethe door
shi+ Jin nodded: “Yeah”
“Then sleep” Gua Two started the truck and grabbed another cigarette, still without lighting it “I ake you up when it's tie hidden by the darkness He leaned back in his seat “You can smoke if you want I'd rather breathe secondhand smoke than end up in a ditch because you are too sleepy”
Gua Two scoffed: “If anyone here drives into a ditch, it will be you” But he took out the lighter and lit his cigarette
It took the at full speed to return—on theof the next day, the convoy arrived at the orchard without any more accidents on the way
shi+ Jin spent past two days al as in the portable fridge and sleeping in the passenger seat, so when he got out of the truck he wasGua Two to alot into bed
shi+ Jin slept heavily and woke up at noon the next day with his stoer
The dorm had its own canteen, so after shi+ Jin washed his face and teeth, he went there As soon as he passed through the door, he saw Gua Tas eating a bowl of noodles, and headed for his table
Gua Two also noticed him, smiled and waved his hand enthusiastically
shi+ Jin sat across from him and asked in a feeble voice: “How can you be so full of energy so soon?”
“It's you who are too weak, not like a young ot a second bowl of noodles for shi+ Jin He looked up and down at shi+ Jin's figure and shook his head, clicking his tongue “Although your chubby look is very cute, your physical condition is so poor it will hinder you at a crucial moment You really need to work out”
shi+ Jin touched his storated, knowing that his physical fitness was indeed a big probleht-pack abs of his previous life, then picked up his chopsticks to stir the noodles vigorously and said with a voice full of determination: “Okay, then let's work out!” I've lost ht already, but it's true I need to exercise
Gua Two raised his eyebrows He did not expect hiht now The o orchard is on the , run ten laps around it”
Plop, the noodles shi+ Jin just picked up slipped fro him with soup
The fit and muscular body can't be developed in a day or two shi+ Jin gritted his teeth and, without needing supervision, kept running his laps up and down the rew a little taller, and his clothing size dropped by one
Gua Two leaned against the wall of thefrohed and said: “We've never had such a high-quality newco, observant, resilient, obedient, keeps his cool in a crisis, doesn't ask questions he shouldn't, not arrogant, sensible… If I hadn't known his background, I would have thought that he was a cadet who ran away frolanced at the s I wanted you to?”
“I asked” It was unclear what Gua Tas thinking about, but his expression was strange, as if he wanted to both laugh and cry “It was a coincidence that he was at our contact point and hidden base According to hiharound, he heard that he could get into the park near the orchard without a ticket so he went there to stay the night, then noticed the bungalohile walking about”
Seeing that house from the park, his eyes are really sharp
