Carefully, he picked off the medals and red flowers hanging on his chest and stuffed them into the box. Li Mu stretched his waist while carrying the suitcase, and a sound like exploding beans suddenly came from his body.
"I don't know when Dahei will return. I'll pay more attention when I look back and take pictures of him."
Dahei is Li Mu's partner, a big German shepherd. Because of his excellent work, he has to serve for a few more years. Thinking of him, Li Mu thinks of his comrades abroad who have lived and died with him.
Standing on the empty street, Li Mu looked at the bright sun, his heart burning.
I was enjoying the beauty of the sunshine when suddenly the tactical phone in my trouser pocket rang.
After taking a look at the encrypted number, Li Mu pressed the answer button:
"Hey! Boss, you really don't think about it anymore? Those are the heads of several regions. They say it's not nice to hear, they're almost like the Tu Emperor. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and stepped back, while the little guys in the organization came to act as lobbyists again.
He bent down and picked up the old photo he took out of his trouser pocket. He looked at the smiling old man with a wrinkled face in the photo and the family photo of seven girls tightly surrounding the little boy, and said firmly:
"Besides, I have been away from home for ten years. With this mission over, I want to retire and spend time with my family."
Yes, he has been away from home for too long.
Because of the confidentiality of the mission, he couldn't even make a phone call home after so many years. Even when he sent money home every year, it was in someone else's name.
It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but that the task is difficult. He has experienced too many bloody storms in the past ten years, and he is afraid that his family will worry.
Recalling all his previous experiences, Li Mu gave up his valuable career change and organizational efforts to stay, and just wanted to return home, support the elderly, and live a peaceful life with his sisters.
Hearing Li Mu's firm tone, the person on the phone said helplessly:
"I'm just telling you, boss, even ten cows can't pull back what you decided. Okay. Before I leave, I asked you not to lose the few numbers you saved."
"They really promised me that even if you, boss, poke a hole in the sky of Dragon Kingdom, they will repair it for you."
Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. What could happen to him that he needed to poke a hole in the sky? Looking at the time on the ticket in his hand, he interrupted his subordinates' chattering:
"Okay, hang up. Don't call me if you have nothing to do. I'm busy!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu couldn't help but smile as he held the old photo.
Although he is an orphan, his seven sisters are not related to him by blood.
But the happy memories of the same year made Li Mu, who had no parents since childhood, feel a warmth he had never experienced before.
Li Mu's father's name is Lao Li Tou, and he is a retired worker doing odd jobs in an orphanage.
Because he had no parents since he was a child, he took the surname of Lao Litou and gave him the word "mu".
Back then, there was a flood in my hometown and the orphanage was forced to close. The eight remaining children had nowhere to go. It was the elderly Li who took them in and raised them by picking up rags.
Later, by chance, Li Mu went abroad for ten years in order to reduce the burden on his family.
He is indeed gifted and has great strength that outsiders don't know about.
When Li Mu was a child, the doctor at the welfare home judged him to have delusional disorder and he always talked to the air.
In fact, there was a voice in Li Mu's head that kept ringing.
This voice made him continue to grow stronger, and his physical fitness, running speed, and endurance perception were all improving.
It is precisely because of this that he was recruited into a special team and lived abroad for many years.
In the past ten years, Li Mu has not missed home even a day.
But helplessly, in the world of guns and fire, the only thing that can comfort him is a sum of money sent home.
"My sisters and Lao Li should be doing well," Li Mu thought.
After pulling the suitcase and taking a taxi to the airport, Li Mu strolled into the priority lane and got on the plane back to Beimang City.
…
Beimang City is considered a first-tier city in Longguo. Before returning, Li Mu had already spoken with Lao Li on the phone. After a brief exchange, he learned the address of his new home.
Going home according to the address, Li Mu's heart was racing.
We haven’t seen each other for ten years. How are your sisters doing? Are you married? Are you married? Are you pretty?
Through a phone conversation, Li Mu learned that Lao Li was in good health and that his family was living a prosperous life. However, time had passed, the old house had been demolished, and the entire Beimang had changed. It was not the Beimang that Li Mu remembered at all.
After getting off the plane, Li Mu had already changed into casual clothes in the dressing room, pulled his simple suitcase and went straight to the taxi area.
When they arrived at the taxi area, the driver greeted Li Mu warmly, and the uncle said enthusiastically:
"Young man, where are you going?"
Li Mu smiled, got into the passenger seat and said to the master:
"Let's go to Jianshe Street and Bai Cui Community."
Sitting in the car, looking at the ever-changing Beimang City, my memories overlapped with those of Li Mu's childhood.
Hope Primary School, this is where he and his sisters went to primary school. When they were naughty, several children climbed over the wall when they went to school. Li Mu vaguely remembers that because he was strong and strong as a child, his sisters would ride on his neck to climb up the wall.
.
Among them, the fifth sister, Shen Mange, was the most naughty. She was often the last one to climb the wall and would sit on his neck and refuse to come down.
Every time, the eldest sister climbed over first to look out. The second sister took the money from the bottles picked up by several children and exchanged them for a bag of spicy strips, which the eight children took turns to eat.
That kind of delicious food is Li Mu's best memory.
"I wonder if Fifth Sister will still be so beautiful when she grows up."
In my memory, although Shen Mange was naughty, she had the fairest skin. Although she was wearing old clothes, there were always people stuffing love letters on her desk.
Because of this incident, the fourth sister Guan Xuenan, who had the most bad temper, always cleaned the 'waste paper' in the table and brought several children to fight with the small society who did not learn well at that time.
The fights were always in the toilet behind the school. Even though Li Mu was young at the time, he was unequivocal in protecting his sisters. The fourth sister often acted like a tomboy and beat up the gangsters until they cried for father and mother.
At night, several sisters sat around in a small shabby room, lighting candles, rubbing Li Mu's shoulders, and applying medicinal wine to reduce swelling...
Then we talked about our ideals when we grow up and fell asleep huddled together.
"When I grow up, I want to be a CEO and earn a lot of money so that my dad can have enough food and clothing to protect you from the wind and rain." The eldest sister, Jun Mowan, looked at the slowly burning candle and squeezed it.
Second sister Lu Yangyang wiped the wounds on Li Mu's body and said lovingly:
"I want to be a doctor so that we can always be healthy and never be separated."
Third sister Ye Xinyi squeezed Li Mu's shoulders and said with longing for the future:
"Then I will be a traveler, searching for beautiful scenery for everyone around the world, and pick the most beautiful place for us to settle down together."
The fourth sister Guan Xuenan, who had short hair like a tomboy, smiled slightly and said to the siblings:
"Now that we have a CEO, a doctor, and a traveler, I will be a messenger of justice so that the little gangsters will never dare to bully us again."
Fifth sister Shen Mange smiled sweetly. She looked at the family members huddled together in the small room, winked slyly, and said with a smile:
"With your protection, I feel relieved. I want to be a big star and let everyone remember us!"
Shen Mange's joking words made several children fall into silence. Yes, except Lao Li, who else in this world can remember them?
The eldest sister Jun Mowan saw that her younger brothers and sisters fell into silence, so she changed the subject and said:
"Lao Ba, what is your ideal?"
Li Mu knocked on the car door armrest, rested his chin with one hand and murmured, repeating the words of the past:
"I want to be the eldest sister's driver, the second sister's cook, the third sister's assistant, the fourth sister's patron saint, and the fifth sister's bodyguard."
The sixth sister, Ji Miaomiao, tugged on the seventh child's pigtails dissatisfiedly and said:
"Look, Li Mu is so partial, and it has nothing to do with us."
Lao Qi Ji Shi Shi said:
"We are twins, why don't we become Lao Ba's wife together?"
The eldest sister Jun Mowan looked at the twin sisters with a smile and said:
"You two have a pretty good idea, that's really cheap..."
Recalling the beautiful memories of his childhood made Li Mu feel even more heartbroken.
"If I had known better, I should have asked them to help buy a car and take it to the airport. The taxi drove too slowly and I couldn't wait."
