41. Chapter 41

Steve and the two looked at each other without saying a word, and he had a vague impression of him, but he couldn't remember more, he couldn't remember his name, and his past experiences, even the feelings of this former best friend, were just familiar.

This result was a bit frustrating for Steve, but he didn't have the luxury of expecting more than nothing. He stood in front of the stall and didn't leave for a long time, there were already a lot of customers behind him who couldn't wait, Steve could only temporarily pull down the brim of his hat to block half of his face to prevent being recognized, and then squatted down and sat on the pony next to him. On the other side, the bar also calmed down, ignoring the dull pain in his brain, and while continuing to grill skewers, he turned his head to Aihua, who was watching the play next to him, and said, "Turn off the music." ”

"Oh." Aihua obediently turned off the background music of [The sound of the waves is still there], put the tape recorder aside, rolled up his sleeves and squeezed it away, and chirped: "You guys go and talk, I'll leave it to me here." After she finished speaking, Steve on the other side immediately got up and said thank you, and Bar Haw also nodded and untied his apron, bent down to help her tie it, and said, "Call me when you're busy." ”

"Don't worry about going and talking, don't force yourself if you can't think about it for the time being." Aihua brushed his hands with chili oil, raised his hands slightly and asked him to tie his apron, and said in his ear as he bent down to tie a bow. And the movement in his hand paused, let go of the strap-on in his hand, his fingers gradually joined together into a fist, and whispered as if talking to himself: "What if I never remember......" Even if there is no memory of this person who claims to be his friend, but Bar Haw inexplicably doesn't want to see him disappointed.

Aihua packed the skewers together and handed them to the customers who had been waiting for a long time, and finally held Steve and Bar Chirp one by one with her free hands, she lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then looked up and smiled: "Then from the day you have your memories again, as a newborn, live again." You're alive anyway, aren't you? ”

"But the memories of the past ......"

"I don't know how to be blessed in the blessings." Aihua still had a shallow smile on his face, raised a finger and shook it in front of him, and said, "My grandfather told me when he was a child that he went from a soil overlord to nothing, and he still lived a very happy life, and he didn't indulge in the past. He often said that others ride horses and I ride donkeys, and there are people walking in the back, and you can start over and accumulate more memories than those who have been asleep forever, and besides, important people are alive, so what is there to be frustrated. Aihua was silent after speaking, turned his head and looked around, and said: "Look at Optimus Prime and them, the history of the entire planet has been lost without the source of fire, you at least know that the ancestor of the human race is a monkey evolution, I say so, are you in a better mood?" ”

After pondering for a while, he tapped the palm of his left hand with his right hand and said, "It seems that it is indeed a little ......."

Steve: "......"

"So, let's talk to the captain, no one knows if you can remember it now, let's go." Aihua tied the strap behind himself, and dragged two sugar gourds one by one and put them in the hands of the captain and the bar, so that the two of them could talk while walking. Along the way, the memory was blank, including the common sense of the bar, which was holding the sugar gourd and gnawing expressionlessly, while the captain was speechless at the syrup that pierced the people, and the two old men were still holding the sugar gourd in their hands when they walked on the road, which couldn't be higher......

After being brainwashed by Hydra, Bar Haw's brain was traumatized, and just by retelling it in a few words, he could no longer awaken his washed memory. Although the captain had already been mentally prepared, he was still inevitably disappointed, but after his gaze collided with Bar Chiao's calm eyes, he still put away his bitterness and comforted him with a smile in turn.

Aihua had already thought that this conversation would not be very fruitful, but at least he gained a friend, and as for how he lived for more than seventy years, it was never Aihua's concern. And Aihua is not an ordinary human being, because the Saiyans are a fighting people, although their average life expectancy is not much longer than that of humans, but after adulthood, their physical condition will always stay at the peak, and they will not age much, so they don't have much concept of this aspect.

But after the captain and the bar chirp returned, he made a request that she had never thought of, which made Aihua difficult.

"Aihua, I want to be with Bucky during this time, is that okay?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Aihua's stunned, Steve explained: "You should also know my situation, the place where I live now is also assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D., and in some ways, it is also homeless. I think being with Bar Haw might remind him of something, and maybe we could ask Fury for help, he should have a lot of talented people around him who can help us. ”

"Forget about Fury, Bruce has a contact person to help him see, and the connections that S.H.I.E.L.D. has can do if he wants to. It's just that it was the brain after all, and I didn't want him to take any risk, so I refused treatment. If Fury had known about it, who knew if they would have cut him open during the treatment. In the latter sentence, Aihua deliberately lowered the volume when he said it.

After all, even if Bucky is a former World War II hero, he is not the well-known Captain America after all. The U.S. government can't make a move on Captain America in the eyes of the people, but it doesn't care about a Bucky.

The temptation to live forever is too great......

Obviously, Steve, who has been frequently checked during this time, also understands the reason for this, and he didn't say anything, just pleaded: "Then can I be with Bucky during this time?" ”

If it was only her, Aihua would naturally not mind, but now that there are still a bunch of tenants living in the house, Aihua hesitated and said, "You know, we are living in Mr. Wayne's house now, so I have no right to decide, otherwise I will call and say hello." With that, Aihua dialed Bruce's number, intending to discuss it with him.

In recent times, it seems that everyone has a habit of seeking Bruce's advice on important decisions, after all, whether it is the Autobot or Aihua, the understanding of the world is far less thorough than Bruce's. After hearing Aihua's inquiry, Bruston, who had long thought that Bar Haw was familiar with his appearance, understood something, and asked Aihua to come back with Bar Haw and Steve.

When Aihua came back with the two of them, he didn't expect to see not only Bruce, but also Optimus Prime, and it was the leader of the Autobots who had broken away from the carrier and was in the form of a machine.

Facing Aihua's astonished gaze, Bruce said indifferently: "We need an upright ally. ”

Seeing a series of transformations of Optimus Prime, Steve subconsciously made a vigilant move, but Optimus Prime didn't mind, just stepped back slightly to open a safe distance between each other for the captain, and then leaned down, trying to keep eye level with him, and said: "I am Optimus Prime, an autonomous mechanical life form from the planet Cybertron. ”

"Alien ......?" Steve suddenly straightened his face and said, "It's you guys who made a mess of the Hoover Dam before... No, you're another group of people Stark has encountered? ”

"I'm sorry about that." Thinking of the oolong that hit the wrong person, Optimus Prime apologized: "That human has the mark of the Decepticon on his body, so that we who don't have the ability to fly can't tell it. Please believe that I have no intention of harming any earthling......"

"As far as I know, you actually saved him." Seeing that he didn't make any other moves, and that Aihua and Bar Haw seemed to be very familiar with him, the captain relaxed his tense body slightly, turned around and asked, "Now, who will explain to me what is going on, and what is the Decepticon?" Also, I remember quite a few of you, but what about the others? ”

Before Aihua and Optimus Prime could answer, Bruce preemptively said, "In my other manor." As the final bottom line, he didn't mean to let Steve know about the situation in the Aihua family.

After that, Optimus Prime told Captain America exactly what happened on his planet, just like he had told SΓΉ Aihua at the beginning, and he directly projected his memories into it, which was easily convincing. But as a warrior loyal to the country, Steve is still not used to gray in his world, and although he understands the other party's scruples, he can't help but ask: "Why can't you talk to S.H.I.E.L.D. directly?" ”

"We are also a threat to human nations today." Optimus Prime explained.

"But the Decepticons attacked Sector 7 before, and if we had known more, we could have stopped it!"

"But even if you put aside the question of whether the country will believe the Autobots, and even if they do, who are the Autobots going to talk to?" As a foreigner, Aihua asked rhetorically: "The Decepticons will not only target one country in the United States, but also cooperate with all the countries on the entire earth. So they have to stand in front of the whole world, not just the United States. Considering the mood of the two American citizens, Aihua did not directly say that the Autobots are likely to be used as a tool to invade other countries.

Compared with Aihua's vague statement, Bruce obviously understands what Captain America cares about, and said straight to the bottom of his heart: "What is the cost of seeking cooperation without proving that the two sides have a common enemy?" Do you want the weapons under the Sector 3 wing to be refurbished again? ”

Steve was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Bruce meant. He looked up at Optimus Prime and thought about the power of the Decepticons, relying on the Rubik's Cube to research countless dangerous weapons, how could S.H.I.E.L.D. give up the technology at his fingertips. After struggling inwardly for a long time, Steve finally relented: "I know, but every action on the earth must be carried out under my sight." ”

"Okay."

………

So, just like that, Captain America disappeared, and the person in charge of monitoring his temporary apartment reported it to Fury.

A few days later, when Fury finally meets the long-disappeared Captain America, he doesn't expect this to be the case. It's still the old familiar place, the station where he found Aihua in the first place. The humble stall has not changed, but the figure that was originally only one person busy has now become three......

I saw that the captain, who was still heroic when he left, was wearing a big red cotton jacket that had exploded at this time, and he had a sweat towel on his head like the dirt in an old movie, and he was frying fritters hard, and his cheeks were full of sweat baked by the hot oil pan.

Fury stepped forward silently, unable to say a thousand words, but said dryly: "...... Captain, it's a good adaptation to modern life. ”

After his reminder, Steve suddenly thought that he had not had that sense of emptiness abandoned by the times for a long time, he opened his mouth, and his original standard and fluent English was dyed with a smell of Shandong dumplings from the author's hometown and the same style as Aihua, and said, "I don't have time." ”

Aihua said that most of the mental illness came out of idleness, and now he lives with Bucky, and has mastered many crafts such as knitting sweaters, rolling dough, pulling noodles, adjusting fillings, sewing cross-stitch, etc., working non-stop from morning to night. Life couldn't be more fulfilling!
