"The first glass of wine, the sun shines brightly, the ivy outside the window crawls into my eyes. The second glass of wine, the spring breeze gently ripples, the leaves gently caresses me. The third glass of wine, the birds lightly pecks at my heart. The fourth glass of wine, the shadow on the windowsill, makes me forget who I am. "
"The fifth glass of wine, the youth is about to fly, through the layers of green forest. The sixth glass of wine, the stone path bends, a girl at the end. A girl at the end of the stone path! Girl, girl! That's my little girl! These are all my girls! … … "
The black car was driving on the sunny Sunset Highway. The car with the sunroof was finally not as old as before, but more of the emotions that a young man should have.
Sitting alone in the car, chewing the spring breeze that blew in his face, Xu Le was once intoxicated, but it was rare for him to release the deepest part of his emotions. He loudly sang the old song. His slightly hoarse voice was not very pleasant to listen to, but it was particularly enjoyable.
The song was the 27 Glasses of Wine, after the sixth glass, the rough and direct, the lively lyrics were not the original lyrics.
In the past, Shi Qinghai and Xu Le would drink every time. Every time they drank, they would get drunk. Every time they were drunk, they would sing this song loudly. When they were sad, Mr. Shi would silently and softly repeat the last few lyrics about his father. When they were happy and excited, he would only sing the first one-fifth of the song.
— — When they sang the sixth glass of wine, the man's voice would stop here. Like a retro black record needle, he would tirelessly hum the girl at the end of the stone path. He would frown, wink, and look at the beautiful girls around him until his voice became hoarse. He would shout the lyrics directly from the bottom of his heart to his own girls.
In the past, Xu Le always felt that Shi Qinghai's declaration of wanting to subdue all the young women in the world was too direct and abrupt, and it was even more embarrassing when he blushed.
But at this time, the road was accompanied by the bright sunshine and the wind of youth. He was not in a dark room, and there was no taboo of mold, but he could freely breed frivolous thoughts that were most in line with the way of nature. No matter how brave or even presumptuous he was to sing out these frivolous thoughts, it was actually … so happy.
He was in his twenties and was born in a lowly place. Now, he was already a hero of the Federation and a high-ranking military officer. He was in charge of a group of fierce people and rich kids from aristocratic families. He had many extraordinary friends and enemies.
Cunning and ruthless politicians had suffered losses in front of him. Even powerful and powerful people would have a headache when they heard his name. He had scandals with the nation's young girls and was secretly admired by the daughters of aristocratic families. He had enough qualifications to be proud of himself in the spring breeze and enjoy the speed of the black car.
The award ceremony held by the Federation on the frontline had ended. The military officers and students from various troops had specially made a trip to the barracks to say goodbye to him, and then embarked on the journey again. Xu Le was very clear about what he and these military officers and students would encounter on the battlefield. But perhaps it was because he had seen so many life and death situations on the frontline, this time it was very difficult for him to have the same feeling as the last time in the base cafeteria. Instead, he had a bit of a fierce and straightforward feeling.
Farewell today, see you on the battlefield in the future.
At this time, the song penetrating the blue sky and white clouds from the skylight, and the repetitive and boring words of "girl" abruptly stopped. Xu Le knitted his thick ink-like eyebrows and slowly drove the black car to the side of the road and stopped.
He silently looked at the three-dimensional map made by the white lines in his left eye. Looking at the two white dots that had already entered the edge of the city, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. It was not a good thing to be disturbed at such a happy moment.
He turned on the car computer and brought up the map on the light screen. He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at it for a long time. Although the old man could now directly simulate the map in his mind, he didn't know if it was because of his biological instincts, but he was more used to looking at the map on an object outside his body.
Taking out the electronic notebook of the past few days and carefully combing through the records one by one, Xu Le finally confirmed that the two experts from Bermuda finally couldn't hold it in anymore and were ready to make a move.
"Lao Bai, they're here. You guys pick me up at Wei-Er Road in an hour." The car phone was directly connected to the communication system set up by Group 7 in the barracks. After a pause, he said softly, "Get ready to work."
After saying this, he hung up the phone and didn't say anything more, because he believed that with the expertise of Group 7, they would definitely know better than him what needed to be prepared.
…
…
Wei-Er Road was not a road, nor was it a street. It referred to an independent street in Sunset State, the main star of the West Woods, so when people talked about it, they were used to calling it Wei-Er District.
This street covered a large area, but it looked extremely quiet and ordinary. Other than the endless green forests and hills full of rustic charm, the scattered buildings were not tall, and even looked a little old.
Wei-Er District was a straight road, and there were many unknown restaurants at the intersection. Although the decorations were not luxurious, they looked quiet and noble. It was not meal time, but there were still many tourists and military officers eating happily.
Going up the straight road and into the street, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Under the shadow of the century-old giant trees on both sides of the street, there were armed sentries standing every ten meters. These sentries had firm and silent expressions, and the military uniform of the West Forest Military Region looked especially straight and straight, portraying the word 'solemn' to the extreme.
Xu Le's gaze looked through the car window, and he could even faintly see the silhouettes of some heavy firepower equipment. On the lower edge of the floor of an old building, there was a pipe labeled PLC, which made him keenly feel that there might be equipment installed in that building specifically used to monitor the thermal fluctuations of mecha.
Wei-Er District was not a place that just anyone could enter. Even though Xu Le was a lieutenant colonel of the Federation, had a special pass issued by the Department of National Defense, and also secretly had first-class authority in the Bureau of Proclamation, if not for the lady's sister's call, the black car still would not have been able to enter.
This was because this was the old house of the Zhong family in the West Woods.
…
…
The black car stopped in front of the old house with the number thirty-six. Xu Le walked down and smiled at the Zhong family service staff who greeted him. He took off his sunglasses and looked at the statue in the small square in front of the old house. His mood became strange.
Why was the old house of the Zhong family not number one but number thirty-six? There might be a very old story behind this, but Xu Le did not want to waste his brain power to think about it. He just stared at the statue in a daze.
Under the blazing sun, the retro bell in the middle of the small square shone with a golden luster. It was so familiar.
Xu Le raised his eyebrows. There was an almost identical statue on the Bell Tower Street where he grew up. Why was there another one in front of the old house of the Zhong family in the West Woods?
He thought about the giant company owned by the Zhong family in the West Woods called the Ancient Clock Company. He thought about the battleship called the Ancient Clock. Could it be that the most powerful of the seven great families, the Zhong family, had something to do with the deserted East Woods planet where he grew up?
…
…
In the corner of the old house's backyard, there was an exceptionally clean greenhouse. There were countless beautiful plants growing in it. There was a space on the right side of the greenhouse, where there was a huge cage. The floor of the cage was covered with green grass. What was hard to imagine was that there were even wild vegetables and radishes that rabbits liked to eat.
A fat white rabbit was lying in the middle of the empty cage. It was bored to death. The blood vessels in its slightly drooping long ears could be seen. It was not interested in the delicious food in front of it. It squinted its myopic eyes and stared at the butterflies flying among the plants outside the cage. It seemed to be a little depressed because it could not find the meaning of its life.
Xu Le looked at all of this in silence. There was a strange feeling in his heart. The little master of this place had not come back for many years. He did not even know if … he would have a chance to come back in the future. However, the old people in the old house of the Zhong family were still meticulously taking care of everything here.
He did not want to be disturbed by this feeling. He pointed at the grass in the cage and asked curiously, "Aren't you worried that the rabbit will dig a hole and leave?"
"Three meters of soil. Below that is the metal floor. The rabbit can't dig." The white-haired old house staff smiled and replied, "This guy dug who knows how many times two years ago. I'm afraid it has already accepted its fate."
Hearing the words two years ago, Xu Le's heart moved slightly. He roughly understood something. After a moment of silence, he politely asked, "Can I take some pictures?"
"Of course you can. Mr. Xu is here to see it on behalf of Miss. Whatever you do is what you should do." The staff said softly, "In fact, we send a video of it to Xixia State every week."
Xu Le was silent for a while. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Didn't she find out … the little rabbit she raised back then died long ago and this is the other one?"
…
…
On the third floor of the side garden of the Zhong family's old house in the West Woods, the door to the balcony of the room facing the sun was closed. Zhong Ziqi, with a gloomy expression, was talking to a staff member in front of him. His tone was particularly cold and irritable.
"You said that stinky bodyguard actually entered my house? And was even treated as a VIP? Why didn't anyone tell me? "He slammed the table angrily. The cup of tea on the table was about to spill out like his mood.
As Zhong Laohu's favorite nephew, Zhong Ziqi had a very unusual position in the Zhong family in the West Woods. Especially now that Madam Zhong was accompanying Miss Zhong in the capital ring and the commander was directing the war on the front lines, he was nominally under house arrest in the old house. But in reality, he was half a master.
The staff member left. The anger on Zhong Ziqi's face was quickly concealed. There was only cold silence. After the incident at the hotel, he knew that Xu Le had a good relationship with Madam Zhong and that little cousin. More importantly, he found out a lot about Xu Le's background.
He picked up the encrypted phone with a strange expression and dialed a number. After waiting for a few seconds, he still did not speak. Only when an impatient voice came from the other side of the line did he say in a low voice, "What do you want to do? You have to tell me the plan. "
The other side of the line was silent for a moment. Then, a cold and resentful voice sounded, "Our plan is very simple. It is to destroy this guy physically."
Zhong Ziqi rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "You guys are crazier than I thought."
"Are you scared?" The voice on the other side of the line said mockingly, "Don't forget, although those old men and women are unwilling to speak, they actually want Xu Le to die more than we do. It's just that they are too embarrassed to make a move."
