Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"What's wrong? What happened? Sirs, I'm the person in charge here. What can I do for you? I'm the person in charge here. Let me in, let me in."

Because this man, who looks remarkably like Deng Chao, was stopped by the guards who were already on guard as soon as he arrived at the mine, he was unable to enter the mine and had no idea what the situation inside was like.

Overwhelmed with worry for his brother Gu Zidi, he started shouting from a great distance.

Ximen Lang looked closely in the direction of the voice and saw that it was indeed the person who looked exactly like Deng Chao.

And those in a hurry, that won't do. They kept tiptoeing, looking in their direction, looking at the millet field that was still being dug up halfway up the mountain.

Especially after he realized that their target was the millet field halfway up the mountain, he was so anxious that he wished he could just jump over there.

This is not easy, in fact, it is extremely difficult.

Because it's obvious, judging from this configuration alone, any normal person would know that their group is no ordinary person.

Especially Lao Luo, who is right next to me, I can see him in the news from time to time.

It certainly couldn't be a legal channel!

So, this is a bit outrageous!
Even so, he still stepped forward immediately.

Judging from that alone, it's clear that they had already made the decision to protect the grain field at all costs, even at the cost of their lives.

Such decisiveness and such affection are truly moving.

This is especially true for Ximen Lang, who, although he has never been on the battlefield, has always cherished a beautiful longing for camaraderie and brotherhood.

He saw that this man was indeed a hero, and one who perfectly matched his ideal of a hero.

That goes without saying.

"If you're a hero, then step forward! I love heroes the most!"

Ximen Lang had already said that his favorite thing in life was heroes and chivalrous men, so of course he wouldn't let anyone stop him.

Of course, no matter what, the gun will still be fired.

After all, what if?
What if this kid thought we weren't going to let Gu Zidi go, and in his anxiety and anger, he pulled out his sidearm and shot himself?
Wouldn't that mean we're doomed?
Therefore, without saying a word, he immediately ordered his men to take his gun away.

After doing all this, Ximen Lang waved over and had someone call the kid over.

Seeing his fear of death, Bai Ling couldn't help but chuckle.

This annoyed Ximen Lang so much that he immediately rebuked him.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Can't you see we're doing serious business here? Be serious!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Bai Ling by the collar and shoved her aside, telling her to go somewhere cool and not waste time on important matters.

But he had only scratched halfway when Ximen Lang stopped abruptly.

Why?

What else could it be?

Of course, all I can do is try to figure out why Bai Ling is so familiar with the assembly call!

Because Ximen Lang clearly remembered that he had never watched the movie "Assembly" with Bai Ling!
He would never watch this kind of movie with Bai Ling.

After all, the situation of this drama is what it is.

To put it simply, this show is full of pitfalls!

The "pitfalls" mentioned here don't mean there's anything wrong with the show itself.

The show is definitely fine.

Not only were there no problems, but the filming was also excellent, demonstrating a very high level of skill. It received both critical acclaim and commercial success.

It seems to be the box office champion from back then.

All of the above demonstrates the excellence of this film.

But it is precisely because he is so outstanding!
While it may not be a perfect recreation of that era, it is certainly very realistic.

Then, the problem arises.

This thing is so realistic that you could find any detail that matches up in the world of Beijing!
What will Ximen Lang do if Bai Ling sees this?
How can I explain all this to Bai Ling?
That's inexplicable, isn't it?
Therefore, it's simply impossible.

"Unless I'm out of my mind, I would never show her this kind of thing!"

So where did she see all this from? And how did she see it?

The result doesn't seem too hard to guess.

Of course, there is also the possibility that it is all just a coincidence.

He was fooled by Bai Ling, which is why it was such a coincidence that she said the same thing at the same time as him.

However, this possibility is really unlikely.
However, no matter what, we still need to test the waters.

Perfect timing, since so much time has passed, Ximen Lang's memory of the character played by Chao Ge is somewhat hazy, so this is a good opportunity to test him out.

Just as he grabbed Bai Ling by the collar and pulled her aside, Ximen Lang turned around and dragged her back.

He asked the question as if it were unintentional.

"Ling'er, I remember his name was something like that? Erhu? No. Erniu? That doesn't seem right either. What was his real name? Do you remember?"

If just now, everyone only vaguely sensed that something was wrong and felt somewhat worried about it...

That means the problem is obvious and there's no indication of it.

And the problem lies precisely in this rallying cry!
Therefore, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their hearts jumped into their throats.

Of course, the one under the most pressure is Zhao Erdou, who was inexplicably dragged into this mess.

Originally, he was already extremely anxious because of Gu Zidi's matter, and he didn't know what to do.

As a result, inexplicably, the atmosphere suddenly became tense because of the issue of his name.

How solemn was it?
The atmosphere was so tense that Zhao Erdou, who had a lot to say, didn't dare to interrupt!

Especially Lao Luo, because he really fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

That aura was intimidating.

Therefore, Zhao Erdou immediately shut his mouth, without hesitation.

They dared not say anything, dared not ask anything.

While pondering
"What's the secret behind my name? I have no idea."

While desperately trying to minimize their presence, they bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.

Of course, Bai Ling was also under considerable pressure.

In some ways, she was the one who suffered the most.

But there was nothing she could do; since things had already come to this, she had no choice but to accept it.

In addition, since Ximen Lang trusted her so much, she felt somewhat guilty for keeping it from him, and even suffered a great deal of inner torment.

Therefore, it's hard to say whether her casual remark about the assembly call was intentional or accidental, or perhaps intentional but accidental.

So she remained very calm, even somewhat relieved. Under Lao Luo's anxious gaze, Bai Ling simply and naturally replied to Ximen Lang.

"Who else could it be? The one up there is Lao Gu, Gu Zidi, the company commander of the Ninth Company. So he can only be Gu Zidi's brother, Zhao Erdou. And that pretty young woman outside, that should be Sun Guiqin."

Good heavens, she not only knows Zhao Erdou, but she also knows Sun Guiqin, that very pretty and scholarly young wife, and she knows her so well.

Seeing that Bai Ling had definitely watched the movie "Assembly", and had even watched it secretly, it was clear she had seen it.

Just as proactive Ximen Lang was a moment ago, he is now extremely passive, and in a very special and extreme way!

Just as Bai Ling felt deeply apologetic and even tormented by her inability to be honest with Ximen Lang, so too did he feel deeply apologetic and tormented by Bai Ling, who loved him to the core and tolerated and understood him in every way.

At least in this respect, their emotions are absolutely shared.

Ximen Lang had been wanting to find a suitable opportunity to explain this to Bai Ling, so that he wouldn't always feel guilty and indebted to her.

The phone that he never even considered taking back or imposing any restrictions on was his backup plan for Bai Ling.

He was torn between fearing that Bai Ling might have discovered something extraordinary through that completely transparent phone, and being anxious because there was still no word from her side.

In short, it's incredibly frustrating and complicated.

Until today, Bai Ling finally discovered a clue from her phone.

Ximen Lang suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Upon closer reflection, I realized that after the thing I had been fearing actually happened, it didn't seem like such a big deal after all.

That makes things simple.

Of course, you have to get him to actually admit to something.

That's certainly impossible.

It wasn't just because he had taken the initiative to admit it, and after the mystery was completely revealed, that Ximen Lang didn't know how to face it, but also because...
“I like being passive.”

Just like how Xia Yiyi went to great lengths to pursue him for so long before finally winning him over.

Bai Ling is the same; unless she takes the initiative to talk to him about these things, he can't expect her to do so.
difficult.

They immediately set the principle of resolutely not taking initiative, but only passively accepting it.

Ximen Lang suddenly felt that he had been elevated.

Wow, that really makes me feel so relaxed.

Pretending not to notice these things, Ximen Lang gave Bai Ling a big smile and then focused all his attention on the matter at hand, namely the matter of Gu Zidi.

The sudden change left Lao Luo completely baffled.

He swears to God that Ximen Lang must have sensed something extraordinary just now!

He had even prepared for the worst possible outcome.

He had prepared a whole set of short poems to persuade Ximen Lang from various angles.

结果
Nothing happened.

Isn't that utter nonsense?!
"However, from another perspective, wouldn't it be the best outcome if nothing happened?"

Feeling relieved, a smile returned to Lao Luo's face.

And it was a truly genuine smile.

They dared not linger on this topic for even a moment.

He immediately pulled off a masterful face-changing act, revealing that Ximen Lang was genuinely interested in Zhao Erdou and Gu Zidi.

Patting the bewildered Zhao Erdou on the shoulder, Lao Luo quickly changed the subject.

"Zhao Erdou, that's a really good name!"

Zhao Erdou was dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out what was so good about his name, which was not much better than Gousheng or Erdan.

However, things have indeed taken a turn for the better, that's for sure!

Especially after this period of confirmation, he realized just how powerful and influential Lao Luo truly was.

Their admiration for Ximen Lang was like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks.

Zhao Erdou, who had almost instantly distinguished between the two kings, quickly tried to get close to Ximen Lang.

"Has the commander heard my story?"

"No, but your face tells a story!"

The vivid conversation allowed Bai Ling to temporarily put aside her worries.

Of course, the main reason was that Ximen Lang was in such a good mood.

She could sense that Simon Lang was genuinely relaxed and happy.

Time seemed to rewind to the moment they first met, when Ximen Lang looked exactly like he does now.

He's like an idiot, all he does is laugh like a fool all day.

But it was genuine happiness.

Therefore, as long as Ximen Lang is happy, she is happy.

Of course, what made Bai Ling happiest was...
"If you can accept this, then if I discover something else, will you be able to accept it too? If that's the case, then how far away is the day when we can truly be honest with each other?"

Thinking of this, Bai Ling completely let go of her worries.

It really does seem like a case of husband and wife following each other's lead. Bai Ling, who is now able to feel Ximen Lang's happiness more and more, has directly returned to her previous state.

I'm much happier than before.

While Lao Luo was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on, he followed Ximen Lang's raised arm and burrowed his head under Ximen Lang's arm.

Then, they exchanged a knowing smile.

Bai Ling, who had completely transformed into Ximen Lang's shape, was just as idiotic as ever, and asked out of genuine curiosity.

“Erdou. Gu Zidi. I can understand Gu Zidi. Farmland and threshing ground are all about hoping for a good harvest and a happy life. But Erdou, why are you called that? I could understand it a little better if you were just called Gou Dan.”

"Why am I called Erdou? I don't know! I don't know what my parents were thinking, why they gave me such an unlucky name! I'm so desperate!"

However, this is obviously not something that can be said, especially not to Bai Ling, who looks just as heavyweight as Ximen Lang next to her.

Therefore, Zhao Erdou could only reply obediently.

"I'm not too clear on the specifics. Maybe they harvested two extra bushels of rice that year? That's about it."

This unexpected yet perfectly reasonable answer made the young couple, Ximen Lang and his wife, burst into laughter.

I glanced at the millet field halfway up the mountain, still struggling against the coal.

Without further ado, Ximen Lang greeted Zhao Erdou directly.

"I won't go into the details. There's just one problem: this guy absolutely refuses to come down. What do we do? Should you go up and call him, or should I have someone bring him down?" (End of Chapter)
