Chapter 275 Gift Surprise
As soon as Lei Tao returned to his room in the inn, the fatigue brought by the long journey overwhelmed him like a tide. After a simple wash, he fell headfirst onto the bed, intending to take a short nap. Before he could fall asleep, he heard a gentle knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Lei Tao propped himself up and asked with a little fatigue.
"Brother Lei, it's me, Liu Zishan." Liu Zishan's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door.
Lei Tao stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked over to open the door. Liu Zishan looked curious and kept looking into the room.
"Brother Lei, we've been discussing buying some things for our family in the county town," Liu Zishan said as he took a step inside. His eyes were immediately drawn to the various modern clothes and boots piled in the corner. "What...what are these?" He couldn't help but walk closer and touch the dark gray windbreaker.
Lei Tao smiled, closed the door, and said, "Don't rush to talk about buying things. These are the equipment I spent a lot of effort to get. Ask the brothers to come over."
Liu Zishan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he excitedly responded before running out like the wind. Soon, Liu Zishan brought Chen Feiyang, Yi Guang, Li Shuiniu, Li Shuyang, and the others to Lei Tao's room. They all rushed in, and the room instantly became bustling with activity, a constant clamor of chatter.
Chen Feiyang stretched his neck and asked first, "Brother Lei, Liu Zishan said you brought something good. What is it? We're so greedy!"
Lei Tao smiled and pointed to the clothes and boots in the corner, saying, "Don't worry, they're all there, everyone take a look first." Yi Guang took a few steps forward, picked up a windproof jacket, and said with a puzzled look, "Brother Lei, this outfit looks different from what we usually wear, what's so special about it?"
Lei Tao walked forward, took the coat, and patiently explained: "This is a windproof coat. It is made of special materials. It is not only windproof, but also very strong. In the future, when we are carrying out missions, whether we are traveling through mountains and forests or encountering bad weather, it can help us." As he said, he pulled the corner of the coat hard to show the toughness of the coat.
Yi Guang quickly put it on, looked around in front of the mirror, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, it fits me really well, and it's very light. My movements are not restricted at all. Brother Lei, where did you get this treasure?"
At this time, Li Shuiniu picked up a pair of overalls, looked at them over and over, and muttered, "These pants look thick, but why are there extra layers of material at the knees and buttocks?"
Lei Tao smiled and answered, "This is specially reinforced, wear-resistant and durable. We usually fight in the field and do a lot of climbing and tumbling. Wearing this will prevent the pants from being worn out easily. And these pockets are so many and practical, it's convenient to put things in."
Li Shuiyang also came over, picked up a pair of hiking boots, and asked curiously: "Brother Lei, what's so special about these boots?"
Lei Tao took the boots and pointed at the soles, saying, "Look at the patterns on the soles. They're specially designed so you can stand firmly on muddy ground, mountain roads, or rocky ground without slipping. The uppers are also waterproof, so our feet stay dry at all times, and we won't feel tired even on long marches."
Everyone listened and tried them on, the room filled with exclamations and discussions. Some people paced back and forth in the boots, feeling the anti-slip effect; some pulled at the material of the jacket, praising its sturdiness; and still others studied the pockets of the overalls, wondering what they could hold.
Seeing everyone's keen interest in clothing and boots, Lei Tao seized the opportunity and pulled out a stack of outdoor multi-function mechanical watches from his bag, lining them up on the table. These watches gleamed metallically under the light, their dials adorned with intricate markings and hands, along with various function buttons, exuding a mysterious and professional air.
"Brothers, come and take a look at this!" Lei Tao picked up a watch and held it high. "This is not an ordinary watch. This is the latest mechanical watch from abroad."
Everyone gathered around immediately, their eyes fixed on the watch in Lei Tao's hand, their faces full of curiosity. Chen Feiyang couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and asked, "Brother Lei, what else can this watch be used for besides telling time?"
Lei Tao pressed a button on the side of the watch, and the compass symbol on the dial appeared clearly. The pointer slowly rotated, pointing to a fixed direction. "See? This can be used as a compass. From now on, no matter where we go in the wild, we won't be afraid of getting lost." Everyone exclaimed and came closer to take a closer look.
Lei Tao then demonstrated the altimeter and barometer functions. As he operated them, the data on the dials continuously changed, corresponding to different altitudes and air pressure values. "This altimeter can tell us our altitude, and the barometer can help us predict weather changes. If the air pressure suddenly drops, a storm may be coming."
Everyone listened attentively, their eyes sparkling with excitement, like a group of children who had discovered a treasure. Lei Tao began to distribute watches to everyone. After receiving one, everyone couldn't wait to fiddle with it and try out its various functions.
Li Shuiniu held the watch in his rough hands and pressed the buttons carefully, muttering as he operated: "This thing is amazing. With it, we will feel more confident when moving in the mountains in the future." His dark face was full of amazement and joy, his eyes fixed on the dial, as if it was a guide for him to move forward in the dark.
Yi Guang's face was full of curiosity, his eyes wide open. He looked at the compass, and when the needle turned slightly, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise; then he looked at the altimeter, and as the value changed, he muttered: "Brother Lei, when did you get this thing? Why didn't we find it?" His eyes were full of curiosity and confusion, and a hint of admiration for Lei Tao.
Lei Tao smiled mysteriously, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and said, "I can't tell you." His smile concealed a secret: it was his own wonderful experience. Seeing his brothers' love for these clothes and watches, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.
At this time, Chen Feiyang also came over, holding the watch in his hand, studying the functions on it, and couldn't help but teasing: "Brother Lei, you didn't sneak into the fairy cave and get the treasure from the fairy?" Everyone laughed when they heard it, and the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
While everyone was trying on clothes and watches, Lei Tao quietly pulled Liu Zishan aside and whispered, "Zishan, take everyone back with a set of these things. I have something to do." Liu Zishan understood and nodded in response, "Brother Lei, don't worry, I'll take care of this.
Lei Tao then confidently picked up the bag containing the dress and went to Meng Xiaoyu's room. He stood at the door, took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked gently. The door opened, and Meng Xiaoyu saw that it was him and smiled with surprise: "You're back!" Lei Tao looked at her gently and handed her the bag: "This is a gift for you, see if you like it."
Meng Xiaoyu took the bag and opened it, revealing two beautiful dresses. One was a light blue floral chiffon dress. The soft chiffon fabric felt like a spring breeze, and the lace trim at the neckline was delicate and elegant, like a blooming flower. The other was a white cotton dress embroidered with lotus flowers. The slim fit perfectly outlined her figure, and the lotus embroidery was delicate and lifelike, and every stitch and thread seemed to contain the gentle tenderness of the Jiangnan water village. Her eyes suddenly moistened. "It's so beautiful, I... I love it so much."
Lei Tao smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. Go try it on." Meng Xiaoyu blushed as she took the dress and went into the inner room. A moment later, she emerged wearing her pale blue floral chiffon dress, resembling a blooming flower. Lei Tao was stunned, and after a moment's pause, he said, "It's beautiful! Like a fairy descending to earth." Meng Xiaoyu's cheeks flushed, and she twirled gently, her skirt fluttering. The two of them immersed themselves in this warm and sweet atmosphere...
