8 p.m., South Gate of swift.
Outside the south gate is a sparsely populated mountain.
Usually few people passed by, so Gu Bai didn't see many people along the way.
It made him feel a little relieved, but at the same time, he was a little curious.
What task has Xize received? He wants to come to the south gate.
He looked around and soon saw a tall figure coming towards him.
Gu Bai slightly hooked his lips: "major general."
Xize changed into a casual suit, softened the usual cool air, and looked more approachable.
Nishizawa nodded at him: "Christine."
"What are we going to do?" Gu Bai asked directly.
These days, when he gets along with Xize, he probably has a little understanding of Xize's character.
Sizer doesn't like to beat around the bush. It's better to speak directly to him.
Xize stretched out his hand, pointed to the dense jungle, opened his thin lips and spat out two words: "up the mountain."
Sure enough, I'm going to the mountains.
Gu Bai is more curious about what his task is, but he also knows that his current identity is just a personal guard. Sizer doesn't need to explain too much to him.
Therefore, Gu Bai wisely did not continue to ask.
The road up the mountain is very narrow. There are similar bushes everywhere. You will lose your way inadvertently.
And at this time, it was already dark.
Gu Bai couldn't help squinting. He didn't like places that were too dark and empty.
Sizer seems to be very experienced, marking trees as he walks.
Maybe he didn't bring much for the light.
But they all seem to work.
Sizer has something in his hand. It's like a compass. After looking at it for a while, he determined a direction and led Gu Bai to go there.
"Major general looks very skilled." Gu Bai could not help murmuring.
Maybe it was too quiet around, so his voice came clearly into sizer's ears.
Xize's step was a little slow, and he said in a low voice: "in the past, when we were fighting, we would often hide in the mountains because of the situation."
Is that why I'm so familiar?
Gu Bai couldn't help looking up at him. Under the light of the stars, he seemed to find that Xize was just a young man about his age.
"Before How long ago? " Gu Bai asked.
Xize thought: "I can't remember clearly, probably, from what I remember."
Maybe it's just the two of them. Sizer seems to be relaxed. He smiles and talks about his childhood.
"My parents were soldiers and died in battle. I grew up in the army, where there were no toys, no playgrounds
"There are no children my age."
"You may not believe it, my only playmate," sizer pulled out a delicate dagger. "It's this knife."
The handle of the dagger has rusted. It looks old.
Gu Bai looked at the sharp blade of the dagger, as if he could see the scene of the little child waving the dagger in the open space again and again.
"A lot of times," sizer's voice suddenly lowered a bit, like a sigh, "the people around him are not reliable weapons."
Gu Bai knew that he should have thought of something bad.
Where there are people, there are calculation, conspiracy and betrayal. Even in a place like the army, a small mistake will be fatal.
