One Condition
Inner Mongolia was very interesting in the past few years. The grassland of East Mongolia was gradually degraded due to man-made destruction, while the desert of West Mongolia became more and more green under the efforts of people. This seemed to be a paradox. Those who had people did not cherish them, but those who had lost them tried their best to remedy them. Why bother? Fortunately, environmental protection policies were getting stronger and stronger in recent years. The decline of East Mongolia was gradually curbed, and the destroyed ecology began to be restored. Meanwhile, the desert afforestation in West Mongolia became more and more popular.
The desert afforestation that Nangong found had just begun not long ago. After all, the vast Badain Jaran Desert could not be turned into an oasis in a short time. It required the efforts of generations after generations, maybe hundreds of years.
The environment in the desert was extremely bad, especially in such an uninhabited place. Sandstorms were common. Ordinary people could not adapt to it even if they traveled for three or four days, let alone the afforestation people who lived here for a long time. They were all voluntary, not for government work and so on.
Ah Man, whom Nangong found, was such a volunteer. He was born here, so he wanted to change here. Besides, he had such an ability, so it was within his ability.
However, it was not so easy for Nangong to meet Ah Man. After all, Ah Man was once the famous Emperor of Mengxi. In Ordos, where there were rich people everywhere, Ah Man's name might be more well-known than the city leaders. But one day, Ah Man suddenly lost all his wealth and disappeared. No one knew where he went, and no one knew why he left. Only a few people close to him knew what happened.
Brother Wu's father had a close relationship with Ah Man. After all, their family was considered a big family in the provincial capital, Huhe Haote. Therefore, they often hung out with the emperor of Mongolia, Ah Man. They were like-minded and had similar tastes. Moreover, they both knew Mr. Ding, so they became close friends. Later, after Ah Man retired, the Wu Family had been secretly taking care of Ah Man's former relatives and friends, so that the monkeys would not scatter when the tree fell.
Nangong could find this place because the Wu Family told him. After all, the Wu Family had always been in contact with Ah Man, and it seemed that only Ah Man could find Mr. Ding, so Nangong had to make this trip.
The young man was Ah Man's nephew. After graduating from university, he had been working for Ah Man. When Ah Man made this decision, many people did not understand, but there were a few who followed Ah Man to the desert unswervingly. This was not a show, nor was it an act. If you had to act for five or ten years, you would be really awesome.
The young man was originally just a student who had graduated from an ordinary university, but Ah Man had hidden several experts here, all of whom were once Ah Man's trusted aides. They had followed Ah Man here without hesitation, so the young man had learned a lot from them. Moreover, this desert was meant to temper one's will and physique.
If Nangong wanted to find Ah Man, no one could stop him. Therefore, she didn't care about the young man's threat at all. Instead of talking nonsense, she might as well fight.
Of course, the young man didn't have a good impression of this uninvited guest. He didn't think that this woman in camouflage clothes, carrying a military bag, wearing a hat and a mask was very powerful. However, when this woman directly rushed over, he felt the danger. After all, he had followed his uncle and seen the world.
Nangong kicked the young man, who quickly bent down to avoid it. Following that, he punched back at Nangong's chest. However, the difference in strength was too great, so his arm was directly caught by Nangong. He wanted to lift his knee to hit Nangong, but Nangong punched him in the front of his thigh. Before he came to himself, Nangong had knocked the young man back several meters with her shoulder. The young man finally staggered and fell to the ground.
As soon as they fought, Nangong knew that this man's strength was very ordinary, so she didn't hit him hard and reserved her strength. Otherwise, this man would definitely be injured. She came here to find someone, not to fight. If they hurt each other and he didn't tell her where Mr. Ding was, then she would have come here in vain. The young man was called Bach.
After he fell to the ground, he was a little annoyed. He quickly got up and continued to rush over. Nangong snorted coldly and said, "You are no match for me, and I don't want to hurt you. I just came to find Ah Man. Just let me see him. If you insist on stopping me, then don't blame me for being rude."
Just now, it was Bach who said that he would be rude. In just the blink of an eye, it became Nangong who said that he would be rude. Bach didn't stop there. He didn't want others to disturb his uncle's life. He gritted his teeth and said, "You want to see my uncle? Impossible!"
Just when Bach was about to rush over again, a middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere and stopped him. He said to Bach faintly, "Bach, you are no match for her. You'd better step back."
"Brother Yun!" Bach immediately smiled when he saw the middle-aged man. His white teeth formed a sharp contrast with his dark and rough skin, but his eyes were clearer than many people's eyes.
The man who was called Brother Yun by Bach was Ah Man's former driver. He had followed Ah Man for many years. After Ah Man chose to retire from the underworld, this driver also disappeared with Ah Man. In the end, they came here together and planted trees in silence.
"How should I address you?" Brother Yun, who was wearing a hat, looked at Nangong and asked politely. He knew that Nangong was not his boss's enemy. Otherwise, Bach would have been dead by now. Moreover, she would not go to the Dragon Pool alone.
Nangong put her backpack on the ground, threw away her hat and took off her mask. Her exquisite face instantly stunned Bach. He didn't expect that the woman who had just beaten him up was so beautiful. So he stared at Nangong in a daze. His saliva almost flowed out. Let alone finding a girlfriend in this place, it was almost enough to see a few women in a year.
Nangong tidied her hair and brushed off the sand on her body. She didn't care that Bach was staring at her so presumptuously. Anyway, he could see her but not touch her. In the end, she was the one who was tortured.
"Nangong." Nangong replied after tying her ponytail again.
Brother Yun slowly took a few steps forward. He didn't intend to fight with Nangong. Moreover, he knew that this opponent was very powerful and he might not be her opponent. So it was best to get along peacefully.
"May I know why Miss Nangong suddenly came to visit?" Brother Yun still asked politely.
Nangong sneered and said, "I came to find Ah Man to ask him something."
Nangong called Ah Man's name so confidently, which made Bach very unhappy. However, with Brother Yun here, he didn't dare to act wildly. He just stared at Nangong fiercely.
Brother Yun was not angry, but he politely refused, "Sorry, Miss Nangong, Uncle Man doesn't see anyone."
Nangong smiled disapprovingly and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's only been a few years and Ah Man has become so arrogant? Don't think that you can pretend to be a master in this wilderness. Tell him that someone from the Qin Family of Beijing is looking for him. If he chooses not to see them, I'll leave immediately. "
The Qin Family of Beijing, these three words carried a lot of weight. As Ah Man's driver, Brother Yun more or less knew about the past. His face immediately became serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss Nangong, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them now."
Brother Yun nodded slightly at Nangong and immediately turned around. Ba He was puzzled and stopped Brother Yun. "Brother Yun, uncle said that he doesn't see anyone."
Brother Yun gently patted Ba He's shoulder and said, "There are some things you don't understand. You stay here and watch her. Wait for me to come back."
Although Ba He was puzzled, he could only do so.
In this station, other than Ba He and Brother Yun, there were three other people. Other than them, the rest were the workers. Ba He continued to look at Nangong, and his attitude had improved. After all, this was a great beauty in front of him.
"Beauty, why are you looking for my uncle?" Ba He smiled lightly and also wanted to ease the atmosphere.
Nangong took out a dagger from her pocket and played with it. Then she sneered slightly disdainfully and said, "Why? Are you interested in me?"
Ba He did not expect this beauty to be so direct. He smiled a little awkwardly and said, "I'm just asking casually. My uncle usually doesn't see outsiders, even those old friends. So if you tell me clearly, I can still talk to you."
Nangong said disapprovingly, "You really think so highly of yourself. You don't have to worry, your uncle will definitely see me, unless he has the guts to refuse."
A rose with thorns. Ba He curled his lips and said, "You're quite arrogant. Who do you think you are?"
Nangong was too lazy to bother with him. It was destined that she would not have any interaction with him, so it was useless to talk so much nonsense. She was bored and looked around the surrounding environment. She found that there were small saplings that had been planted not long ago everywhere. She asked curiously, "Are these all planted by you?"
Ba He replied with a sense of accomplishment, "What do you think? It's not just these. These are just places that have just been cultivated. They are also small saplings. If you go to the place where we used to live, you will definitely be shocked. Now it has become a forest. How about it? Isn't it great?"
"Yes, it's quite amazing." Nangong did not deny it. It was indeed a great thing, which made her feel deep respect for the man whom she had never met. Not everyone could give up the scenery on the top of the mountain, take root in this land, and do such a thing in obscurity, which many people might not understand. After all, the difference was a little big.
Hearing Nangong's words, Ba He felt a sense of accomplishment. He also felt that it was very great. In the beginning, he did not understand why his uncle wanted to do this. It was not until one day when he saw that the desert had become an oasis that he understood that this was a meaningful life.
Just when Ba He was about to continue chatting with Nangong, Brother Yun had already returned. He walked slowly to Nangong and said, "Miss Nangong, this way please. Uncle Man is waiting for you inside."
Ba He was a little stunned. No way, his uncle had agreed just like that. Didn't he not see anyone in the past? He remembered that an old friend of his had waited for three days and three nights, but his uncle still did not agree. So Ba He began to guess who Nangong was and what was the background of the so-called Qin family in Beijing?
Nangong winked at Ba He, meaning to say, "How about it? I don't need your help, your uncle will naturally meet me." Ba He felt a little embarrassed and could only follow behind. He must ask his uncle later.
Nangong followed Big Brother Yun for a few steps before they arrived at a warehouse by the lake. It was filled with freshly delivered saplings. An old man in his fifties was tidying up the saplings with his head lowered. The old man's hands and feet looked very nimble, and he was very careful as if he was holding some kind of treasure.
"How did you know I was here?" The old man with gray hair asked without raising his head.
Nangong squinted and replied, "Uncle Wu told me."
"This old thing, he sold me out just like that." The old man scolded and then said, "You want to see Mr. Ding?"
Nangong nodded and then shook her head. "Yes and no. To be precise, it is my foster father who wants to see Mr. Ding."
"Then why doesn't Qin Changan come in person?" The old man said with some disdain.
Although Nangong had never seen Ah Man, she knew this old man was Ah Man. However, the old man's indifference made her very uncomfortable, so she snorted and said, "You are not qualified to ask my foster father to come here."
When Brother Yun and Ba He heard this, their faces changed instantly. This was a little too arrogant. Was she really not afraid of causing trouble for this old man?
The old man was not angry. He laughed and said, "That's true. How can I be qualified to ask Master Qin to come here?"
Nangong said calmly, "Now, can you tell me, where is Mr. Ding?"
"I can tell you where Mr. Ding is, but I have a condition." The old man still did not raise his head and just kept arranging the saplings.
