Chapter Twenty-Eight: Flying Together on Christmas Eve
Today is December 24, 1948, at this time China has not yet developed the habit of Christmas Eve, even in a provincial capital city like Omijiang, only the home of the envoy in China will put a Christmas tree, the people do not know that there is such a foreign festival, a long winter night, have long slept on the kang, so the whole city has no festive atmosphere, Liu Yanzhi was also reminded by the little girl, only to know that today is Christmas Eve.
Liu Yanzhi was a little embarrassed, touching his body, how could there be anything on his body that could be used as a gift, if Chen Jiao was a boy, he could have left a self-defense weapon, a Canadian-made Browning M1935 high-power pistol, as a thought.
"Or you wait, I forgot to bring it, now go back and get it." Liu Yan said dryly, so far, the gift is owed, if you don't give it, you have to give it, the gift to a little girl of this age is nothing more than chocolates, dolls, these things are available at the counter of the Sincere Department Store, and you can directly pry the door later, don't lock it in and take it out.
"I don't want dolls." As if guessing his thoughts, Chen Zikun's youngest daughter Chen Jiao said, "They always buy me dolls, it's not fun at all." ”
"What about chocolate?" Liu Yanzhi asked.
"Don't." Chen Jiao pouted, "I want a special gift, which is different from others." ”
Liu Yan was in trouble, thought for a while, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration, "Have you flown over?" ”
Chen Jiao blinked and grinned: "You want to fly with me?" ”
Liu Yanzhi nodded: "Yes, I will fly with you, but you have to put on a coat." What he wanted was to jump down from the highest building in the river with Chen Jiao on his back and experience the feeling of bungee jumping, which was not really flying, at most it was falling, and the only thing that was commendable was that the feeling was indeed extraordinary.
"Okay, you wait for me." The little girl climbed out of bed, ran barefoot behind the screen to change clothes, and came out a few minutes later, almost blinding Liu Yanzhi's eyes, breeches and boots, a leather jacket, and a popular flight cap made of brown deerskin in the thirties, of course, a pair of goggles, and a white silk scarf around her neck, like a little pilot.
Liu Yanzhi began to regret it, the daughter of the Jiangdong Wang family, she has never seen any pomp, she has a private jet at home, her father and brother are both senior pilots, and the flight mileage is not less than herself, and she will fly with you, it is LOW.
But the words have already been spoken, and there is no way to eat back, so I can only go on hard.
Chen Jiao also said: "Let's take a fighter plane, I haven't sat on it yet, I'll do a few more turns later." ”
Liu Yan screamed bitterly, and said in his heart, Miss, you really know how to play, this is instigating me to steal the plane, even if I have this ability, without the cooperation of the ground staff, I can't drive a propeller fighter from World War II into the sky.
He gritted his teeth: "Go, go now." ”
……
Downstairs, Xia Xiaoqing was examining Carl's wounds, and the wolf dog didn't have any wounds on his body, and he didn't die, but he just couldn't wake up.
"I've met a master." Xia Xiaoqing said.
"How?" Chan was concerned.
"This person can use hidden weapons, and his kung fu is very high, and he can shoot the acupuncture points on the dog's head." Xia Xiaoqing spread out his palm, and there was a small pebble in his palm, which the guards picked up from the ground with a flashlight, and the yard at No. 10 Fenglin Road was either a cemente ground or a lawn, and there was no such a large particle of stone at all.
"Flying Locust Stone." Chen Zikun nodded.
"It's just a normal stone." Xia Xiaoqing corrected, "Every grass and tree you can use as a weapon, this person's martial arts have entered the realm, and his light skills are even more clever." ”
"So what's sacred?" Chen Zikun fell into thought, now is an extraordinary period, the communist army in Jiangbei is making a lot of trouble, half of their territory has become a guerrilla zone, Xu Beng and Pingjin two battlefields are very bad, Fu Zuoyi's 500,000 troops are trapped in a lonely city, Du Yuming's several mobile corps are also trapped to death, although Nanjing has to report good news every day, but the discerning people have long known that the general trend has gone.
Chen Zikun has been in charge of Jiangdong for 24 years, and from the day he became the military governor of Jiangdong Province, he began to seek a balance between various political forces, and now it is time to make a choice, and as in the past, he has decided to stand on the side of the winner.
Therefore, the government will not let go of itself, Lao Jiang has already deprived himself of his military rights, installed cronies, and deployed the Central Army, if he didn't still have a traffic police corps in his hand, I'm afraid that the chairman of Jiangdong Province would have gone into the field a long time ago, and this mysterious person who appeared tonight could not be a spy of the Secret Bureau......
Chen Zikun quickly made a decision: "Let the guard battalion get up, surround Fenglin Road, find suspicious people, and kill them." ”
Chen Dashuai gave an order, the whole guard battalion was dispatched, 500 soldiers loaded their bullets, guarding all the key positions on Fenglin Road, a pair of big leather boots running on the road, trampling the white snow into mud, Fenglin Road surrounded by iron cans, but no one found that Chen Dashuai's favorite little daughter had disappeared.
At this point, the hour hand points to zero.
……
Central Street, the top of the Sincere Department Store, this is the tallest building in the river, the department store itself has seven floors, and a bell tower is added to it, adding up to the height of ten floors, at this moment Liu Yanzhi and Chen Jiao are standing above the bell tower.
He ran out of the wall with Chen Jiao on his back from the eaves of Fenglin Road, Liu Yanzhi's explosive power and bounce balance ability are all superb, and the light exercise body method is even more learned from the famous family and his own exploration, running on the wall and roof is like walking on the ground, for ordinary children, it is already a fly-like experience, but for Chen Jiao, it is not exciting enough.
"Aren't we going over there?" Chen Jiao pointed to the West and reminded that there is Omi Airport, where her family's Douglas plane is parked, and when her father goes to Nanjing or Shanghai, he will fly the plane himself, and the children will also have the opportunity to sit in the driver's seat to experience it, so Chen Jiao is no stranger to flying.
"We don't fly." Liu Yan said straightly, "I took you to fly with me." ”
Chen Jiao looked at the ground, stuck out her tongue, and asked Liu Yanzhi: "Do you really know how to fly?" ”
"Really, you lie on top of me and close your eyes." Liu Yan bowed straight, Chen Jiao lay on his back obediently, but said with his eyes sly: "Okay, you fly, traverser." ”
When he came out of the house, Liu Yanzhi repeatedly denied that he was Santa Claus, he really didn't think that his image had any resemblance to the old guy in a red robe with a white beard, Chen Jiao asked him who he was, and he simply told the truth.
"Uncle is a traverser."
originally prepared some lines to brag about how awesome the traverser was, but Chen Jiao thought for a while and said, "Well, traverser, I know." ”
At this time, the traverser was ready to fly, Liu Yan was carrying Chen Jiao on his back, and the little girl was very lightweight, lying on her back like a feather.
There is a set of mechanical devices hidden inside the bell tower, countless gears mesh and rotate with the outside hour hand and minute clicking, when the hands coincide, Liu Yan jumped straight down.
The bell rang, the snowflakes fell one after another, Chen Jiao was surprised to find that she was in mid-air, time seemed to freeze, space seemed to have become gel, the little girl opened her mouth wide, and an incredible world appeared.
Also shocked was Liu Yanzhi, he planned to jump down directly, so that Chen Jiao could feel the speed of free fall, but when he jumped down, he suddenly had a thought in his mind, I can fly, I can fly with the innocent girl in the snowy night sky.
He did it, he didn't grow a pair of wings, nor did he have the ability to jet, but the aura around him changed, to be precise, the air around him became buoyant like water, he just had to gently stretch out his hands and feet to paddle, he could move forward, if someone below looked up at the moment, he would see Liu Yanzhi swimming in the air.
The whole sky became his swimming pool, Liu Yanzhi was at a loss at first, and quickly adapted to this way of flying, he couldn't help laughing, using his hands and feet together, crawling slowly in the air, and Chen Jiao on his back also felt the change in air density, reached out and pulled twice, trying to fly by herself, and sure enough, she was so happy that she giggled.
Two people, one big and one small, were playing in the air, laughing, and the snowflakes danced around them, crystal clear and transparent, and the intricate and beautiful hexagonal patterns could be seen, and the midnight bell rang, covering up the happy laughter.
……
At No. 10 Fenglin Road, the lights were bright, the living room on the first floor was full of smoke, Chen Zikun was pacing back and forth, and several generals under him were summoned overnight, all frowning, holding cigarettes, and thinking hard.
"Whether to revolt ahead of schedule or not is the biggest question." Chen Zikun stopped suddenly, "If we revolt now, we will be under a lot of pressure, and Lao Chiang's five American-style equipment reorganizations will be behind us......"
Upstairs, Xia Xiaoqing, who was dressed in a strong suit, patrolled back and forth, she was nearly fifty years old, her sword was not old, and her skills were still very neat, at this moment she had a flying knife in her waist and a Browning pistol in her hand, heroic and imposing.
Xia Xiaoqing is responsible for the safety of the family, she checked inside and out, no broken tiles were found, no obvious footprints were found, the mysterious assassin did not leave footprints in the snowy night, it can be seen that the light skill is still above herself, probably this is the legendary snow without a trace, I heard my father say, only some of the Ming Dynasty Dongchang who specialized in performing secret tasks can reach such a high level.
She inspected the door of Chen Jiao's house, hesitated, or reached out to the doorknob, Chen Jiao is Lin Wenjing's child, nicknamed Little Cabbage, born in 1938 when the Anti-Japanese War was at its most intense, since childhood the physique is weak, the whole family loves her, as an aunt, Xia Xiaoqing also loves this child, the snow night is cold, although there is heating at home, but the child likes to kick the quilt, it is not good to catch a cold.
Xia Xiaoqing entered the room, tiptoed to the bed, her face suddenly changed greatly, there was a pillow stuffed in the quilt, and she didn't know where she went!
She was stunned on the spot, and it took five seconds to react, and quickly checked all corners of the room, and there was no trace of the child, so she really panicked, hurriedly went downstairs, and said a word to Chen Zikun.
"The head of the house, Jiao'er was taken captive."
