Although Qiang Zi was young, his body was now in the period of development, so his appetite was not small. What surprised Xiao Bing was that Qiang Zi's capacity for liquor was really good. Each of them had drunk half a bottle of liquor. Qiang Zi seemed to be only slightly tipsy, not drunk.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "We are almost done."
"No, we agreed not to go home until we are drunk." Qiang Zi's immature face was full of stubbornness, "You think I am a child, so you are afraid that I will get drunk, right?"
Xiao Bing smiled, but did not refute. It was really a little scary for a child to drink half a bottle of liquor.
"But I never regard myself as a child, and I hate it when others regard me as a child." Qiang Zi said, "I treat you as a friend, so I invite you to drink. If you just regard me as a child who needs to be coaxed, then I'd better put away the liquor. I don't need to drink with you anymore."
Although Qiang Zi was young, his self-esteem was very strong.
Xiao Bing did not say a word, but silently filled his and Qiang Zi's glasses again, then raised the glass and said, "I come to apologize to you."
Qiang Zi's face was warm again. He clinked glasses with Xiao Bing, then drank half a glass of liquor, and put the glass on the table.
Qiang Zi's face was a little red, and he spoke a little more than during the day, "From childhood to adulthood, there are only a few men and women who can be respected by me. The deaf is one, and you are also one."
Xiao Bing asked curiously, "Why am I also one?"
"Because you respect me." Qiang Zi said, "Because I see equality in your eyes. You don't treat me as a funny doll. You know that I'm actually an equal person, and a person who can't be ignored by others. That's why I invited you to drink with me. Brother Xiao Bing, let me ask you, do you live in a big city? "
"Yes." Xiao Bing said, "I now live in Jiang City, which is a second-tier city in our country. The place of work is Jingdu, the capital of our country."
"I know Jingdu, and I have been there. It is very close to here, but I went to the suburbs of Jingdu."
"Haha, I know. You also helped them to clean up those villains, and earned money for me to drink."
"En!" Qiang Zi said, "I grew up here when I was a child. Later, I was the only one left in my family. I was an orphan. The elders in the village told me to stay in the village and not to run around. Otherwise, the evil people outside would catch me and make me a child laborer. I would work for others for free for the rest of my life."
"This … this kind of thing is rare, but it does happen."
Qiang Zi said, "That's why I've been staying in the village, but I've thought about it. I'll leave here sooner or later. When I'm older and stronger, I'll beat whoever tries to catch me. Then I'll be able to leave. Actually, I have the ability to do so now. I can defeat more than ten adults by myself, but I have already promised to take good care of Deaf in his old age and send him off in his final days. I will only leave with peace of mind after Deaf's ashes are buried on a hill with the best soil and water nearby. "
Xiao Bing sighed, "Then aren't you afraid that Deaf will delay your life? After all, if he refuses to leave and you insist on taking care of him, you will definitely be dragged down by him and stay in such a small place. "
Qiang Zi suddenly asked, "How long do you think Deaf can live?"
Xiao Bing didn't expect that Qiang Zi would say this. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"I don't think he has a few years left." Qiang Zi grabbed the drumstick on the table and took two big bites. After he swallowed, he wiped the oil stains on his mouth with the back of his hand and continued, "I've been in contact with Deaf longer than you. Although I may not have known him as long as you, I'm with him every day. How many times do you see him in a year? I know his body better than anyone else. Although we don't say it, Deaf and I both know that he doesn't have many years left to live. "
There was a bit of haze in Xiao Bing's eyes. He wasn't angry because Qiang Zi cursed Deaf to die early. He knew that Qiang Zi was just telling the truth because of his personality. He didn't mean to curse Deaf at all. In fact, Qiang Zi looked very strong, but who dared to say that Qiang Zi didn't have any sorrow in his heart? It was just that people like Qiang Zi were too similar to Xiao Bing. They might have buried their sorrow in their hearts.
Xiao Bing sighed, raised his glass and took the initiative to say, "Come on, let's drink up!"
"Okay!" Qiang Zi clinked his glass with Xiao Bing's and then drank up the wine in the glass. Then he immediately got up and poured another glass. Then he sat down and looked at Xiao Bing seriously. He asked, "You don't believe what I said, do you?"
"No, I actually believe 70 or 80% in my heart. You have been together for a long time. I may not be so clear about a person's physical and mental changes, but you know it very well."
"Yes, I have seen other older people in the state of a few years before they died. When I was a child, there was an old man in my neighbor's house. The old man died when I was seven years old. I still remember it very clearly." Qiang Zi sighed after saying that.
Xiao Bing also sighed.
Qiang Zi asked, "Do you feel very sad?"
"Sad." Xiao Bing said, "But it's impossible for me to give up easily. I will try my best to prolong his life."
"If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until midnight? No matter how good a doctor is, he can only cure diseases, but can't save lives. " Qiang Zi said, "I am also sad, but not sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are part of people's life. Only when all of them are experienced, life is complete. I will learn martial arts well before he dies. When he is gone, I will ask him if he has any regrets in his life, and then I will help him make up for that regret."
Xiao Bing looked at this stubborn boy. There was such a strength in him, which was very similar to his own strength, so Xiao Bing would not ignore any words he said. Just like when he said that he owed him a drink, he quickly began to pay back. Now he said that he would help Ear fulfill his last wish. Xiao Bing believed that he was also serious, and since he said that he would help Ear fulfill his last wish, he would definitely do it.
The two of them drank more and more. When the two bottles of wine were all in their stomachs, Xiao Bing felt fine, but Qiang Zi was already drunk on the table. Xiao Bing carefully carried Qiang Zi to the bed, and then covered him with the quilt. Xiao Bing sat on the chair, leaned his whole body on the table, and fell asleep.
At noon the next day, Qiang Zi woke up and found that the sky was already bright, and the clock on the wall showed that it was already 11 o 'clock at noon. Qiang Zi was very thirsty, and muttered, "It seems that I drank too much yesterday."
He looked around and suddenly found that Xiao Bing had disappeared, and there were empty wine bottles and glasses on the table. His head was a little swollen, probably because he drank too much the day before. He struggled to get up from the bed, walked over, and saw a piece of paper on the table with words written on it.
Qiang Zi picked up the white paper, looked at it carefully, and read silently, "Thank you for this drink. Keep your current appearance forever. Sooner or later, you will become a big man in this world, a real hero."
Qiang Zi's eyes lit up, and then carefully folded the paper. He wanted to put it in his arms, but felt that it was a little inappropriate. He turned around and ran to the wooden cabinet, opened one of the drawers with a key, and then carefully folded the paper, and then locked the drawer, and was relieved.
He murmured to himself, "I will always keep this paragraph of what you wrote, and always use it to remind myself that this is the most important treasure of my life. Xiao Bing, I owe you one."
Xiao Bing did not know that his casual words of encouragement were regarded as a treasure by this stubborn boy, and he did not know what kind of power his words brought to this boy. After Xiao Bing, the new generation of strong people in the world of Huaxia began to rise.
Xiao Bing left the village, returned to the Dingwu office, and began to prepare for the new Dragon Gate.
Xiao Bing followed Poisonous Fox's suggestion, and the new Dragon Gate would not expose all its power. One was to let Ear continue to be a secret intelligence system, which was proposed by Poisonous Fox a long time ago. But Xiao Bing felt that this was not fair to Ear, so he discussed with Ear to move from the dark to the light, but was rejected. So Ear's identity would not change, and there was no need to let the country and the outside world know about Ear's existence.
The other was Jack, who was responsible for developing all kinds of high-tech products for Xiao Bing, and could also help Xiao Bing in information warfare. Huaxia had long heard of Jack's reputation. Jack had even successfully hacked into the U.S. government's system, and once controlled the missile system of Country R. Such an ability was unmatched by anyone in Huaxia in information technology, so Huaxia hoped that Jack could be the leader of Huaxia's science and technology. They thought that Jack would be very happy to agree, but unexpectedly, Jack refused.
The reason for Jack's refusal was very simple. He was only willing to serve Xiao Bing. Jack had never liked the government. Although it was not the Huaxia government, it was difficult for him to change his attitude in a short time.
So in the absence of other ways, the country also agreed to let Dragon Gate set up a separate scientific research department. The country would provide all the support, the only condition was that the scientific research results must be shared with the country.
This was simply opening the door, and it was extremely beneficial to both the country and Dragon Gate. Naturally, Xiao Bing could not refuse, especially since Jack only liked to study these things. As for the results, he did not care, so the three parties discussed in detail.
