"Monkeys. ”

"Mouse. ”

"Aren't you kid still on a mission in Feicheng? Yan Hao quipped.

"Why, can't I call my old comrades-in-arms if I'm fine? ”

The answer on the other end of the line was straight to the point.

"Mouse, I just got off the plane, and I'm waiting for a taxi in the waiting hall of Fengcheng Airport. ”

"Brother, you tell me honestly, I have just retired not long ago, how would you know that I am in Fengcheng, it won't be that Old Man Ye specially sent you to look for me back!"

Yan Hao looked puzzled.

"I came to look for you, there is an important matter that needs to be said in person, let's make an appointment to meet at a place and talk about it in detail!"

There was a look of mystery in the man's tone.

"Okay, you kid is dumb with me again, and I'll send you the time and place of the meeting later. ”

Yan Hao hung up the phone in his hand, and there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Mu Lan, go back and tell my sister that I have an important brother to meet, and I can't eat with her for lunch. ”

Yan Hao hurriedly walked out of the sea water and walked straight to the locker room.

"Can I go with you?" Mu Lan asked shyly.

"We're going to talk about that little thing between men, and I'm afraid it's not bad for you to go, besides, my brother doesn't like to see strangers, he is shy when he sees girls, and he is incoherent when he is shy. ”

Yan Hao said nonsense.

"Is there really such a timid person?" Mu Lan laughed.

Yan Hao disappeared into the crowd again.

At twelve o'clock at noon, a well-known Thai spicy pot hot pot restaurant in Fengcheng, because the store is a little remote from the city center, there are not too many customers, and there are some regular customers who come and go here.

Yan Hao entered the store early to arrange a table, ordered the golden monkey's favorite mandarin duck pot, and then poured a glass of boiled water and drank it boringly.

Not long after, a tall and thin man walked into the store, looking a little weak. From top to bottom, he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and the soles of his feet wore a pair of cloth shoes of more than 20 yuan that could be seen everywhere on the ground.

He has a decadent temperament, a pale complexion, and his dark circles can be seen through his black glasses, his eyes are bloodshot, his eyelids are slightly puffy, and his face is thick with stubble.

is full of old-fashioned spirit, and at first glance, he looks like a down-and-out migrant worker, very honest and honest.

"I'm sorry sir, migrant workers in our store can't enter the store to rest at will, this is not a place for you to rest, please go out!"

A young waiter stuck out his arm at the door to stop the man and coaxed him, his eyes contemptuous and his face disdainful.

The man squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "You may have misunderstood, I came to find a friend, you see, he is there!"

When Yan Hao saw the golden monkey, he immediately got up and stepped forward to greet him.

The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds, then hammered each other's thick chests with their fists and gave each other a deep hug.

"Hey, this is my brother, don't have long eyes? Haven't you heard that people can't look good, and the sea can't fight? Don't look down on people. ”

Yan Hao squinted at the waiter and scolded loudly.

"I'm really sorry, this person is newly recruited by our store, and some don't understand the rules, don't mind. ”

The oncoming boss explained.

"Forget it, let's drink," the golden monkey pulled Yan Hao and persuaded him.

When he came to the seat, Yan Hao changed his usual posture, the two of them straightened their waists and sat on the seat face to face, as if something big was announced.

"You came to me today, it must not be a good thing," Yan Hao asked with a serious expression.

"Mouse, although you are no longer in the army now, Old Man Ye still misses you very much, and he always talks about your strong ability, good skills, and smart brains. The wooden monkey replied affectionately.

"Old man Ye doesn't know what to smoke crazy, I stayed well in the army, and there are still several years before I retire!

I made a document saying that I was too seriously injured and asked me to retire early, so that I could not fight side by side with my brothers in the future, what kind of medicine do you say he sells in his gourd?"

Yan Hao looked skeptical and said helplessly.

He took out a box of Changbai Mountain from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the golden monkey.

"Mouse, Old Man Ye must have a reason for doing this, I came today to have bad news for you,"

The golden monkey's expression instantly became solemn.

"Tell me, I know this old man, it's not good to look for me. Yan Hao looked unhappy.

"Huzi sacrificed, and the news was blocked at that time, which was the day you retired. ”

The golden monkey choked up, and his face became more and more pale.

"What are you talking about, that's the brother who blocked the gun for me on the battlefield, he must have been framed by scum, with Huzi's combat effectiveness, few people killed him. ”

A trace of anger appeared on Yan Hao's face, but his eyes revealed the kind of sadness that only brothers have.

"I haven't found out who did it, the other party's forces are unknown, and it's not clear which country they are ordered to, but they are cruel, well-informed, and do things cleanly and neatly, leaving no traces. ”

The golden monkey touched his glasses and replied helplessly.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's not that Old Man Ye has raised a bunch of waste firewood, those related households are afraid of death one by one, how can they have any ability to do some serious things, they only know how to fight their hearts. ”

Yan Hao said indignantly.

"Boss, here are three bottles of two pots, and three large bowls. ”

I saw Yan Hao put three large bowls side by side on the table, poured three bowls of liquor, and took out three Changbai Mountains from the cigarette box in his pocket, lit them and put them next to the three bowls.

"Good brother, this cigarette and wine are your favorite in life. ”

Yan Hao's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he choked up.

When the three cigarettes were halfway burned, the golden monkey and Yan Hao suddenly stood up.

The two of them saluted a heroic military salute to the three large bowls with solemn expressions, and used this ancient ritual to commemorate the sacrificed comrades.

After three minutes, he finished his salute and sat back in his seat.

"Don't blame me for keeping a cold face when your hair brushes over my steel spear, in fact, I have iron bones and soft intestines, but the fire of youth needs to be refrigerated temporarily. ”

The two men hummed silently, because it was Huzi's favorite song.

"Mouse, this is something that Huzi sacrificed his life to save during his mission. ”

The golden monkey handed the bloodstained book in his hand to Yan Hao.

"This broken book is not the last time Huzi found it? because this book almost killed Lao Tzu. ”

Yan Hao recalled.

This book doesn't look special, it seems to be old, but the strange thing is that there is not a word on this book of dozens of pages, which is no different from the wordless heavenly book, but Huzi said that it is an ancient scroll and a strange book.

Yan Hao flipped through it carefully, and although he didn't find anything valuable, he found a photo of a girl about three years old in the book.

"Who is this little girl?" Yan Hao asked.

"It's the person Huzi has been secretly protecting for half a year, I guess she may be an important person for Huzi, and the details need to be investigated. The golden monkey recalled carefully.

"Hehe, when they check, it's estimated that it's the Year of the Monkey again!

"When the tiger died, we must find this girl and protect her, there is a shocking secret hidden in the ancient books," the golden monkey recalled.

After listening to Jin Monkey'er's words, Yan Hao came to his senses, it turned out that he was arranged to retire early in order to better hide his identity and complete this task.

Old man Ye will save a lot of negative troubles by doing this, and it makes sense before and after, knowing that I will definitely avenge my brother, but it is really bad for him to do this, Yan Hao was inexplicably angry.

Yan Hao carefully looked at the photo in front of him, the photo was at least ten years old, this three-year-old girl has now grown up, and it is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to find her.

"You said that Huzi has been secretly protecting the girl for half a year, which means that he has found this girl, so he has not left any clues about the girl?" Yan Hao asked.

"I only know that the girl has an ancient totem mark on her body, and Huzi didn't leave any other clues, maybe in order to prevent anyone from having any misfortune on the girl! As for others, they can't count on it at all, and they have to rely on themselves to check," the golden monkey replied.

"Huzi, don't worry, I will definitely help you fulfill your wishes, go with peace of mind!"

Yan Hao picked up the wine glass and toasted the three large bowls, said with a firm look in his eyes, and drank all his wine.

looked at the bloodstained book in his hand, and then looked at the hot pot in front of him, and recalled the scene of eating hot pot with Huzi back then, those people, those things, can never come back.

Maybe there are some people in life, parting, maybe they will never see each other, a farewell is goodbye, and Yan Hao's sense of loss at this time arises spontaneously.

Time flies, and the two drink a lot and talk a lot.

"If you need to call me if you need anything, even if Old Man Ye doesn't come forward, you know it in your heart. The golden monkey patted Yan Hao's shoulder and said with concern.

Yan Hao smiled and nodded, and settled the bill by the way, and the two got up and walked out of the hot pot restaurant leisurely.

"Brother, you have a task, I won't keep you more, take care. Yan Hao called a taxi and watched the golden monkey gradually move away.

The gusts of autumn wind swept by, and the road was full of maple leaves, Yan Hao drunkenly took the wordless book in his hand and looked at it in a daze.

Suddenly, he sneezed, but stumbled upon a clue from the book.

On the first page of the book, a series of numbers and words flickered, looking very disorganized, but disappeared again in a moment.
