meet again(1/2)
To be honest, Xiang Du was very sleepy and tired, feeling uncomfortable from the inside out.
Despite everything, he couldn't sleep.
There are three types of people behind the rocks on the beach. One sleeps more soundly than any known creature, the other never needs sleep, and the third is busy and industrious.
Xiang Du closes his eyes, opens his eyes, lies on his left side, lies on his right side, turns over, but does not turn over. Mentally, he desperately hopes that he will be weak, but his heart is harder than a stone.
He lost a lot of people he liked in a short period of time, and braved the hail of bullets just to see each other one last time. He asked in his heart, from the time he first joined the army to today, which one thing did he want? No, not one thing.
nothing.
I thought about my original intention of joining the army, in order to escape, because my desire to escape resulted in the most direct confrontation.
It's better to go home, go to the south, to the valley, and study the possibility of creating a time machine.
It seems impossible to really study this kind of unprecedented great invention in this country. Do you want to go to Taihui to learn the most advanced knowledge? Forget it, there is a war going on, so I can't go.
Or you can build a car behind closed doors, maybe you can tinker with it, then go back to the valley and find your beloved old inventor first.
As I was thinking about it, my eyes somehow landed on Yu Lian. The distance was so close that I could see him just by turning my head.
Yu Lian was arrogant, probably not thinking about anything, just quietly lost in thought, and he wasn't asleep anyway.
After resting for half an hour, Zuo Lan didn't dare to stay too long, so he gathered his team and left as quickly as possible.
The ferry we left at that time was still the same. Generally speaking, the appearance remained unchanged, and the houses inside remained the same, but there was no one there, and it looked like it was abandoned.
The personnel who were left here waiting for the response were nowhere to be found, so Zuo Lan had to ask the crew to find their own rooms to rest. The wounded needed to be taken care of and at least eat something.
Searching the entire ferry camp, it seemed that no one was here, and it was eerily quiet.
Zuo Lan patrolled outside a certain building. He heard a sound just after he passed the door. He took a cautious step back, and several guns stuck out of the door and windows.
He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hands from left to right in cooperation.
A man walked out of the building. He was thin and slightly hunched. He was wearing a hat. When he took off his hat, he realized it was Mr. Bu.
"Mr. Kalai, it's been a hard journey." Mr. Bu gently tapped his lower back, "I've been waiting for you just as hard. I was entrusted by someone to take over your goods, so please take a trip."
After speaking, he shook his head slowly, and his bodyguard and an accompanying soldier stepped forward. Everyone walked out of the building, unable to bear to put down their guns.
Zuo Lan laughed happily, pointing at Mr. Bu and teasing: "You are so embarrassed, Old Bu, you are really a talent. Are you entrusted by others? Who? I can't guess why you want to draw your sword against me. How many of you?"
mean?"
"Don't pry around, hand over the goods, and then you come with us. The officer will ask for you by name."
"Do you want my person or my head?"
"It depends on whether you are worthy of cooperating and being tied up by him."
The bodyguards on both sides immediately walked towards Zuo Lan, each holding a rope. They first put the rope around Zuo Lan's neck and tied it to his back.
Zuo Lan cursed in his heart, thinking that this old man really didn't know what was good and what was good.
When the bodyguards were about to tie their arms, there was a dull gunshot on another building more than ten meters away.
Not only Mr. Bu, but also the bodyguards and soldiers surrounding Zuo Lan and Zuo Lan himself rushed to see it.
There were five people vaguely standing on the roof of the two-story building. Under the rising sun, the people sitting on the roof in the middle were all women.
Before Mr. Bu could register his number, the woman in the middle said, "Let him go. I dare to tie up anyone. This is a member of the Military Council."
Mr. Bu didn’t hear or understand clearly: “What?”
"You mean let him go, what? Is my pronunciation not standard?"
"Foreigner?"
"You don't care where your grandma is from, just tell them to let go. My patience is very, very limited. It's very limited."
The woman waved her hand, and the followers on the left and right raised their guns in unison.
Naturally, Mr. Bu could not be frightened like this. He pointed a gun at Zuo Lan's forehead with one hand, and then said: "Girl, I want to live or die, but you mean I need such a living person.
What's going on? Come down and talk?"
"Old Bu, be careful." Zuo Lan seemed to remind him in good faith, "Be careful, be careful."
"Don't worry, I usually won't kill you."
"I'm not talking about me, I mean this girl is obsessed with you. Keep your fingers steady and don't let go. It doesn't matter if you die. It won't be fun if you take her away from me."
"What's the meaning?"
As soon as Mr. Bu blurted out his question, his hand holding the gun went completely numb, and the gun was broken into two pieces and one piece.
The woman on the roof calmly held up the fired gun and said calmly: "My aunt doesn't want to shoot you today. I hope you will cherish what is around your neck. I must take this person away."
Then the woman said to Zuo Lan: "Come here, come here, let me see who dares to touch you."
"Okay!"
Zuo Lan replied, calmly untied the rope, and took a few steps back to a safe distance.
First, he smiled at Mr. Bu, and then waved to the top of the building: "Come down, there is a misunderstanding here, let's have a good chat."
The commotion here was also heard by the crew members on the other side of the camp. The relatively healthy crew members rushed here, and everyone was confused.
Yu Lian stood outside the crowd. Wu Peng observed the situation and exclaimed: "Why are you guys fighting?"
The woman on the roof went down to the ground. She looked at the crew members. After feeling a little disappointed, she asked Wu Peng: "Remember to pay back the money you owe me."
"Arnold, my good sister, do you remember this?"
"Our account will be settled later."
A few minutes later, a group of people with different agendas were forced into the same building.
Zuo Lan is in the middle, and beside him is Wu Peng.
Sitting opposite each other were Arnold and his entourage and Mr. Bu.
Only the soldiers sent by me are particularly eye-catching here.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely mysterious.
Arnold stated the purpose of her trip: "Your Excellency Rohan has been waiting for a long time. He hopes that I will take you back. There are important things waiting for you to do."
"Who are you talking about?" Zuo Lan pointed to himself, "Are you talking about me?"
"Otherwise? Could he still be this idiot?"
Arnold mentioned the idiot and pointed at Mr. Bu arrogantly. The latter was very unhappy and said sternly: "Little girl! Do you know how to respect people?"
"Who are you calling little girl? You old fool!"
"That's unreasonable!"
Zuo Lan hurriedly comforted the two: "Old Bu, calm down, she is a foreigner and doesn't understand etiquette. Besides, good men don't fight with women. Let's have a good chat. Let's have a good chat. You talk first."
"Follow me." "Follow me."
Mr. Bu blurted out the words almost at the same time as Arnold.
Zuo Lan pointed at Mr. Bu: "Tell me first, why should I follow you?"
"It's Inspector General Nawu. He ordered me to take you back with the goods. He specifically told me that you are a patriotic businessman and must be protected. Karai, go back. Inspector General Nawu values you very much."
.”
"Old Bu, do you think I'm a fool?"
"No."
"Look! You still treat me as a fool! How can I trust you if you don't tell the truth?"
"What I said is true."
Mr. Bu's face was full of sincerity, and Zuo Lan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
After sighing for a few seconds, Zuo Lan asked Arnold again: "What's wrong with you? What's the board meeting?"
"Lord Rohan has taken control of the south..."
After saying just a few words, Arnold pointed his gun at the soldiers and pulled the bolt to threaten: "You, get out."
The soldier was stunned. Everyone in the room was looking at him, including Mr. Bu's bodyguards.
When he was at a loss, Mr. Bu said: "You all can go out, I can do it myself."
The bodyguards didn't care. After all, the boss spoke, and the soldier hesitated before leaving angrily.
The door closed, Arnold put down his gun and resumed his lecture: "Your Excellency Rohan has stabilized the situation in the south. We plan to attack the royal capital soon and then pacify the entire battlefield."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. Mr. Bu really heard something extraordinary, and Zuo Lan was quite mentally prepared for this.
Shocked, Mr. Bu asked: "Little girl, are you awake? We are still fighting with the Taihui people. Where did you come from? To say that the entire battlefield has been pacified? What a shame!"
"Old fool! What your aunt told you is true, unlike you who are full of lies."
"Can you please brush your teeth before you talk?"
"I don't want to hear it! I'm not here to find you!"
