Yao Xuefei is very discerning. As soon as he sees that he wants to talk on the phone, he cleverly closes his small mouth and doesn't make any more movements. His beautiful eyes stare at him without blinking. His small appearance is obedient and cute, very cute.
"Brother, I was just about to look for you. Are you in China or overseas?"
Actually, whether Xu Da was in China or overseas did not affect Li Rui at all. He was satisfied that he could express his gratitude verbally. But for some reason, he still wanted to know the whereabouts of this field elite. It was also a form of greeting.
Xu Da said in a low voice, "I'm in China. I just came back not long ago. I want to drink with you. Do you have time?" Li Rui was stunned for a moment. Then, he happily said, "Sure, I was just about to drink with you. I have time. Where are you?" Xu Da said, "The provincial capital!" Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "What kind of drink are you drinking with me in the provincial capital? Even if you came to Qingyang to look for me, it would take at least an hour." Thinking of this, he was stunned and said, "When are you coming over?" Xu Da said, "Wait for me." Li Rui asked, "How are you coming over? By car or by train? It will take a while to drive. Why don't you take the train? You can reach in half an hour. But I'm not sure if you can catch the train from the north. "
Xu Da said, "I'm not taking the train. I'm taking the plane." Li Rui was stunned again. He thought to himself, "How can this brother be drunk and talk nonsense when he hasn't even had a drink?" Xu Da said, "But Qingyang doesn't have an airport." Xu Da said, "Who said there isn't one?" Li Rui said, "There isn't one. I'm from Qingyang." Xu Da was stunned for a moment before saying, "Oh, I'm talking about the military airport." Li Rui came to a sudden realization. With his status, it was not surprising for him to take a military plane over. "Alright, I'll wait for you."
Xu Da didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
Li Rui furrowed his brows. He felt that something was not right with him today. From his tone, he could tell that there was a hint of loneliness in his voice, as if he was not very happy. Perhaps this was the reason why he wanted to drink with him. He wanted to drown his sorrows with alcohol. He was very puzzled. With his powerful status, what could he possibly be unhappy about?
Yao Xuefei asked curiously, "Who's coming?" Li Rui leaned over and planted a deep kiss on her snow-white cheek. He said, "A good brother of mine from the provincial capital is coming over. He seems a little unhappy and wants to have a drink with me." Yao Xuefei asked curiously, "He's coming over from the provincial capital? What time would it be? Don't you need to go home? " Li Rui said, "He took a plane over. Uh … he's my brother. I want to drink with my brother. It's fine even if I go home later." Yao Xuefei also made the same mistake he did just now. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "He took a plane over? Where does Qingyang have an airport? "Li Rui explained," He's a military officer. He took a military plane over. " Yao Xuefei nodded and said, "The Qingyang military division has an airport. I even went in for an interview. But not just any military officer can sit in a military plane, right? It seems that this brother of yours has a powerful background. "
Li Rui raised his hand and stroked her hair lovingly. "Our Xuefei is so smart. I love you so much." Yao Xuefei smiled proudly and said, "Can you bring me along?" Li Rui shook his head and said, "Not at the moment. His identity is a bit special. I can't casually bring an outsider with me. You can't, and neither can Lu Qingman." Yao Xuefei was not very happy when she heard this. She felt that he treated her as an outsider. But when she heard him compare her with Lu Qingman, she became happy again. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then I won't cause trouble for you. I'll go home and sleep. When I'm ready, I'll fight you three thousand rounds at noon." Li Rui laughed out loud. He held her beautiful face and said, "How much do you want it?"
The two kissed deeply and then Yao Xuefei took her bag and left. Li Rui stayed in the private room to wait for Xu Da. He did not arrange to meet Xu Da at the Zuixian Restaurant. He had nowhere to go, so he just waited there. As the saying goes, it's better to be still than to move.
After waiting for less than half an hour, he received a call from Xu Da. Xu Da asked him where he was. He said he was at the Zuixian Restaurant. Xu Da asked him to wait by the roadside outside the restaurant.
As Li Rui went downstairs, he was secretly shocked. He thought to himself that the military plane was indeed fast. It had only been a short while, and Xu Da had already arrived in Qingyang. If only he had the same status as Xu Da, he would be able to borrow any means of transportation at any time.
He walked to the sidewalk outside and stood under a dragon claw locust tree to wait. While waiting, he called his beloved wife, Qingman, and told her that he would be drinking with Xu Da tonight. He might be back later. Lu Qingman also found it strange that Xu Da would come to Qingyang. Li Rui had to explain.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Rui saw a military green off-road vehicle driving over. The engine made a loud roar as if a tank was driving over, causing many passers-by to look over.
Li Rui wondered if it was Xu Da. He stared at the car window, but the windshield was covered with a film. He could not see through it. He could only vaguely see that there were people sitting in the front and front seats.
While he was wondering, the Warrior stopped beside him with a squeak. Then the window of the front passenger seat rolled down. Xu Da's tired and gloomy face appeared.
Li Rui was surprised and happy to see him. He shouted, "Brother!"
Xu Da nodded at him and turned to the young officer in the driver's seat. "Okay, you can go back. Thank you." The officer turned and saluted him. "You are welcome, chief. Call me if you need anything." He opened the door and got out. He walked to the opposite side of the road, stopped a taxi and left.
Li Rui stared blankly at the scene. It was as if he was looking at a western scenery.
Xu Da turned and smiled at him. "Brother, I am not familiar with Qingyang. You can drive."
Li Rui stupidly nodded and completely obeyed his instructions. He walked around the front of the car and sat in it. Looking at the dashboard and gear lever, he couldn't help but feel that his blood was boiling. It was as if he had also become a soldier, ready to go to the front line at any time. He smiled and said, "This car … can I drive it?" As she spoke, she looked behind her and saw two boxes of Tsingtao Beer in the back seat. Beside them was a big bag of peanuts. She swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She thought to herself, How can the two of us finish so much beer?
Xu Da said, "Of course. Why can't I drive? Just drive. If you hit a car, it's on me. "
Li Rui rolled his eyes at the sky. Could this brother's words be any more unlucky? He was just trying to be humble. Did he really not know how to drive this kind of off-road Jeep? If I hit a car, it's on you. I, Li Rui, have never hit a car in my life. He moved his feet and controlled the gear lever with his right hand. He skillfully started the car and merged into the traffic.
Xu Da said again, "Pick the most secluded place in Qingyang. It must be in the wilderness with good scenery."
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Eastern Mound Pagoda then." Xu Da nodded and did not ask any more questions.
Eastern Mound Pagoda was located in the eastern suburbs of Qingyang City. It was built on a mound beside the Sangbai River. It was built during the Jin Dynasty and had a history of more than 900 years. It was a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit. In the early years, when there was water in the Sangbai River, standing on the mound and looking to the west, one could see the brilliant waves, the ancient pagoda, the sunset, and the solitary geese flying together. The scenery was magnificent. It was one of the top ten scenic spots in Qingyang City. It was called "Jade Belt Green Pagoda". Although the Sangbai River had dried up, the isolated ancient pagoda on the mound was still a beautiful place. At least, it was the best place to drink and chat with friends.
On the way, Xu Da did not speak. Li Rui did not ask either. If they did not speak, it meant that they did not want to talk. There was no point in asking. When they wanted to talk, they would talk even if you did not ask.
After more than half an hour of driving, they drove out of the city and crossed a stone bridge over the Sangbai River. Finally, they arrived at the top of the mound where the ancient pagoda was located. The mound was not big. It was only about 200 meters in radius. A dirt road at an angle of about 30 degrees led to the top of the mound. The top of the mound was dozens of meters above the ground. Eastern Mound Pagoda stood in the middle of the mound.
Eastern Mound Tower was a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit. The scene was a little desolate. There was only a brick wall around the tower, and the main entrance was a big iron door with double doors. There was only a lock on the door, and other than that, there was no other protection. Even during the day, there was not a single cultural relic protection worker here. To put it bluntly, it was no different from a "wild" ancient pagoda.
At this time, the night was blurred. The tall and slender shadow of the ancient pagoda stood in the dark like a heavy sword that could not be exposed to light. There were pine trees and cypress trees all around. The wind whistled and the night birds chirped from time to time. Although there was no scenery in sight, the unique environment still made people feel open and cheerful.
Xu Da jumped out of the car and walked to the courtyard door to look around. Li Rui went over and said, "The courtyard door is locked. We can't go in. Let's just …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Da suddenly flew up and kicked the door lock. There was a crisp sound. The thin white iron door was kicked open by his kick. Of course, it was not the iron lock that was broken by his kick. It was the small iron ring that was welded to the door that was kicked off the iron door. Only then did the door open.
Li Rui stared blankly at the scene. He did not know what to say for a long time.
Xu Da said, "Drive the car in!"
