The choice to kill a friend in exchange for a lover's life sounds cliché, but it is indeed a difficult choice to make.

"I think maybe I'll do my best and get killed by the monster to escape this choice."

Tang Yao didn't have much confidence when he heard this, because he really didn't know how to make a choice.

"yes, maybe I'll make that choice too." The old soldier smiled bitterly at himself, and then continued to drink, "What's more, the choice I have to face is more difficult than this problem, don't be stunned, you kid, keep drinking." ”

In fact, chatting and drinking with the old army is a very boring thing, because if you can't talk, there is a generation gap of teenagers, and the old army is more vicissitudes than normal men in their thirties, so Tang Yao feels like every time he eats with an elder, and he is an elder who is not very good-tempered, scolding and swearing at every turn.

But the most unbearable thing is that the old army always says a lot of things and hides half and hides half, which is like someone else playing a guessing game with you, and the result is never the answer, you say that you are sad or not.

"Boy, let me tell you, there are no good things in this world, the more you grow up, the more fucked up you are, when you don't go to school, you think it's fun to go to school, you think you're happy at work, you feel comfortable when you retire, and when you retire, you ...... Hehe...... This is life, the more you grow up, the more painful it becomes, hey, if I could save her back then, it would only be a little bit ......" Brother Jun drank too much, and began to talk nonsense about wine.

"Don't mention the things of the past, why bother, people still have to look forward." Tang Yao's alcohol strength also rose a little, hooking Brother Jun's shoulders, and the two of them seemed to have become two brothers all of a sudden.

"Boy, let me tell you, don't fall in love with someone in this life, love can, don't love to the death, love without yourself, what's the matter, why do I love so painfully, live so tired, why did she leave me like this, I told you that there is no completely fair love in this world, people are selfish, and they all want to live happily, so the one who pays more must also be the one who is more injured."

"Brother Jun, you're a bit of a, Sister Tong has been gone for so many years, and everyone's family is gone, you are still alive, isn't it better to be alive than anything?"

Brother Jun patted Tang Yao lightly on the back of his head, and then shouted: "What's gone, what's gone!" You kid is talking nonsense, I'll pump you...... She lives forever, forever and ever......"

Brother Jun really drank too much, leaned on the table and fell asleep, the drinker next to him immediately smiled, but Tang Yao thought of a very realistic problem, Brother Jun said that he wanted to invite guests to dinner, but he got drunk, did he have to settle the bill, Tang Yao, who reacted, wanted to touch the money in the old army's pocket, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, Brother Jun subconsciously blocked it back, which is completely unconscious, a person will have a similar reaction after practicing for a long time, even if he falls asleep, he will make an instinctive reaction.

Tang Yao asked the price, people said for a long time he didn't understand, and finally the calculator knocked, a few side dishes and several pots of wine cost hundreds, Tang Yao also knew that the local prices were high, and the price was not ripping off customers, and it was impossible not to pay, and finally shook Suo Suo took out his wallet from his pocket and asked, "There is still half a pot of wine...... Can I pack it? ”

On the dark seaside, Tang Yao walked forward along the road with the old army on his back, he called Shangguan Fumeng, and Shangguan Fumeng sent someone over and agreed to get in the car at the intersection ahead.

"Brother Jun, I know you are pretending to be drunk, how can that little wine get you drunk, you drink better than me, I'm not drunk......" Tang Yao felt that the old army was pretending to be drunk, after all, it was not the first time he drank with the old army, "Don't you just want to knock me, just say it, can I still not honor you?" Haha......"

At this time, he heard the old soldier on his back suddenly whisper: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Hey, what's wrong with you today, why are you so polite, don't say this kind of thing, can you and I still see each other, let alone invite you to eat a meal of a few hundred yuan, even if it is a few thousand yuan...... Well...... I can't afford it, but if I can afford it one day, I won't frown. ”

Tang Yao is telling the truth, after more than a year of getting along, he has gone from an ordinary person to today about to win the championship of the Ten Thousand Nations Competition, becoming the strongest illusionist of the younger generation, which has too many old soldiers' credits, it is he who brought himself into this circle and stepped into this unusual world.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" The old man seemed to be really drunk, and kept repeatedly apologizing to Tang Yao, putting his forehead on Tang Yao's body.

Tang Yao carried the old soldier on his back, he didn't know if his feelings for the old army were the same as a child's feelings for his father, but it was a kind of dependence, no matter what grievances he suffered outside, how painful he was beaten, as long as he walked into the botanical garden and saw the old soldier who was cross-legged on the coffee table and watching TV while drinking beer, Tang Yao would feel at ease.

When he slept in the botanical garden, no matter how fierce the enemies outside were, he knew that those guys couldn't enter the botanical garden, let alone harm themselves.

Home is a harbor, and Tang Yao has never had this feeling of being protected in his real home, but he got it in the big family of the Botanical Garden, cooking and doing housework every day, life is like opening his arms to him for the first time, making him less lonely.

"I don't have to say I'm sorry, it's my time to say thank you."

Tang Yao walked to the crossroads, the waiting car had arrived, got in the car and returned to the hotel, he placed the old soldier on the bed, and then quietly went back to his room, when the door closed, the old soldier turned over and got up, his eyes were like a torch where there was still half a point of drunkenness, he walked to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, followed by a long sigh.

The organizers also informed the three teams the night before the competition that the venue for the finals was not a scenic spot on land, not even on land, the venue for the finals was set at sea, the three teams gathered at the port, and then went to sea by boat, and the final battle will be held at sea.

But the problem is that Tang Yao's team has not yet decided whether the fourth person will let Gong Yuling or Fang Chao, and the two of them have been promoted from bickering to quarreling for this matter.

"I'm better than you, right, after I borrowed the power of the Daga Witch, I can at least guarantee to kill one or two generals on the other side, can you, didn't I say you, your mechanical props are still useful in the previous game, and they can't be used at all in the finals, so you save it." Gong Yuling crossed her hands on her hips, raised her head and stared at Fang Chao, her words were also reasonable, she was indeed much stronger than Fang Chao in terms of combat effectiveness.

Fang Chao didn't back down and said: "Can you guarantee your safety, the Daga Witch will inevitably pay the price to you after lending you the power, don't you have any points in your heart for the previous two situations, you are about to be tortured to death by the Daga Witch, I ask you to take good care of yourself, besides, if you pass out in the middle of the game at that time, Tang Yao and the others will still protect you, will you drag down the whole team?" ”

"I'll only pay the price after killing the other party, of course, I may also pass out, but it's better than you, you will give the head for nothing when you play, understand?"

"It's not possible, it's certain, and can you guarantee that this time the Daga Witch will be obedient, what if she thinks that you are not worth enough and doesn't obey your call and doesn't lend you power, aren't you also giving it for nothing?"

The two argued endlessly, and in the end they even got into trouble to find an open space to fight, and in the end whoever won played the game, but fortunately they were stopped by Tang Yao.

"You two stop arguing, it's really not okay, you two don't go, the three of us should be enough." Tang Yao felt that there was no need for these two people to play, it was enough for them to brush alone.

Fang Chao pursed his lips and didn't speak, he also agreed with Tang Yao's suggestion, but Gong Yuling clenched his fists and then raised his head and shouted, "I must play." ”

"Why, auntie, why do you have to play?" Fang Chao asked puzzled.

"Because this may be the only achievement in my life, after this game, I will marry Gong Changjun in a few months, do you understand, from now on I will not be Gong Yuling, but the young master mother of the Gong clan, I can't do such an outrageous thing anymore."

Gong Yuling finally said the reason why she had to play.
