Chapter 11 Ready to go
After the wine and food were full, the third brother asked the waiter to get a pen and paper and opened a list for me and Yangzi.
There are many things written on the list, such as jackets, hiking boots, hiking adventure flashlights, hiking bags, windproof lighters, sleeping bags, compressed biscuits, outdoor water purifiers, insect repellent, nylon ropes, sabers, ordnance shovels and so on.
Looking at the dazzling list, people who don't know will think that they are traveling in a group.
Judging from these equipment, our destination is somewhere in the deep forest of the Qinling Mountains. I think we just drove over in a big truck, and there were five of us, how could we possibly get so many things.
The third brother repeatedly told Yangzi: "You must check whether things can still be used, and you must buy things that you don't have, and you would rather buy expensive ones than inferior ones." ”
Yangzi and I walked out of the hotel, and Yangzi pressed the lock on the car door.
After a few sounds, Yangzi said, "Get in the car." ”
I noticed that it was a brand new Toyota midsize SUV, and I don't know exactly what model it was.
It was very spacious in the car, but it was unrealistic for me to fit the five of us and so much equipment.
Yangzi drove down the road, he drove steadily, always keeping an eye on the front, and didn't talk to me.
Zhang Xin said that I had a good conversation with him, maybe because of amnesia, and I didn't have anything to say to him.
About half an hour later, Yangzi parked his car in an open space in front of an abandoned warehouse.
"There was some gear that was hard to come by, but we managed to bring it here." Yangzi walked in front and opened the iron lock of the warehouse door.
I don't know, but what else is hard to buy?
It was pitch black in the warehouse, smelling of dust, and I took a few inhales and coughed.
Yangzi glanced at me, then pressed the light switch on the wall.
All of a sudden, the darkness became bright.
I squinted and saw a pile of plastic sheeting on a nearby shelf.
Yangzi went over and lifted the plastic sheet and threw it aside, and a cloud of dust kicked up.
A few boxes were placed on the shelves, and when Yangzi opened them, he saw that there were guns inside.
I was dumbfounded.
"You, what's wrong?" Yangzi was puzzled.
"Not really, I just can't figure out how you got it." I picked up one of the pistols and put it in my hand to feel the taste of holding it.
I went to see Yangzi, who was gently stroking with a sniper rifle.
Yangzi set up the sniper rifle, stared at the scope with one eye, and said, "M110 sniper rifle." ”
I don't understand this, it can be easily seen from Yangzi's performance that he has a strong love for firearms, but he used to be a soldier?
So I asked, "You used to be in the army?" ”
Yangzi put down his gun and was a little deflated: "No, it's just that I like these very much, but Brother Heizi has been in the army." ”
I looked at the scar on his face and thought he had been injured in the service.
He saw my confusion and smiled unnaturally: "Scratched by a fight with a street thug." ”
"I see you're so big, and you'd love to be a soldier."
Yangzi was heavy and told me his story: "When I was a child, my dream was to be a soldier, but my family was poor at that time. My father is a gambler, I don't know whether to live or die, my younger brothers and sisters are very young, if I go to the army, my mother alone, the family can't even provide food. ”
Speaking of this, Yangzi paused, I thought he was sad, but who knew that he laughed: "You see, even if God played with my life when I was young, I can't still move what I like every day?" ”
How many people have not been able to realize their dreams, either because they are not working hard enough, or they are forced by the current situation, or they really do not have that condition.
Obviously, Yangzi was forced by life.
I looked at him very seriously.
"I think maybe God has favored me, otherwise I might still be worried about my life now." Yangzi wiped the sniper rifle with pity, and it seemed as if he was wiping his own dreams.
"I've told you these things before. Now that the old stories are brought up again, and you are listening to new stories, I wonder how good it would be if I had forgotten those childhood memories as well. ”
"No, Yangtze. I've had enough of amnesia, and every day I live in ignorance, not knowing anything, not even my own name. ”
I was whining.
"Here, take a hand." Yangzi asked me to carry the boxes with him to the trunk of the car.
There are still two boxes of Yangtze that have not been opened, I guess they are ammunition or something, but we are just looking for a hole, why do we bring so many lethal weapons over?
I was puzzled, so I asked Yangzi, "What are you bringing all this for?" ”
With a bang, Yangzi closed the trunk: "Get to the car, I'll explain to you slowly." ”
Sitting in the car, Yangzi turned on the air conditioner and cooled down a lot.
"I'm not sure if the place we're going to is in Qinling, but as long as we go to that place, we can definitely use it." Yangzi looked serious.
"Is that place so dangerous? Or are we going to war? ”
"You're really good at laughing, it's a time of peace."
That means we're going to a dangerous place.
Outside the car window, the scorching sun made me panic.
"Where are we going?"
"Pick up."
It's time to buy other equipment, the third brother said that he will leave tomorrow morning, and there is only time to prepare in the afternoon and evening, and the time is not very sufficient.
said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and the third brother called to urge Yangzi to hurry up and put the objects in order.
After Yangzi answered the phone, he immediately sped up the car.
I saw that Yangzi was very in awe of the third brother, and I didn't know if they were related to their superiors or relatives, so I asked Yangzi: "Who is the third brother?" What is your relationship with him? ”
Yangzi stared at the front, not having time to pay attention to me.
However, his serious and rigorous attitude is worthy of my admiration and can make me feel at ease.
It wasn't until Yangzi parked the car on the side of the road that he answered my previous question: "The third brother once saved my life, and for me, the third brother is the reborn parent." ”
I didn't expect Yangzi to regard the third brother so important, and at the same time, I still have a question that I dare not ask.
"When I was in trouble, it was the third brother who saved me, otherwise I wouldn't be alive today. You wonder why the third brother looks so old, and we still call him the third brother, right? ”
"That's right, it's a little confusing." I didn't want to ask him, but since Yangzi mentioned it, the confusion in my heart was raised to the extreme.
"His body can't adapt to what he still has abilities, and he's not much older than we are." Yangzi led me to a neighborhood.
Seeing his arrogant posture and always going out of his way to humiliate me, it seems to me that his ability is to be sarcastic.
As soon as we arrived at the gate of the community, the security guard stopped us: "Please stay, who are you looking for?" ”
"Uncle Wang, the two of them are looking for me." A Humpty Dumpty man in a vest handed out a cigarette to the security guard, and after a few pleasantries, walked up to us.
"The galloping Yangtze River?" Humpty Dumpty said to us both.
"Yes."
"Then let's go in, I'll put all the goods upstairs."
Yangzi and I followed Humpty Dumpty into the elevator, and I asked Yangzi, "What is the rushing Yangtze River?" ”
"My online name is just that, and the local sellers I contacted on the Internet came here to buy equipment."
"Oh~"
When I entered Humpty Dumpty's room, I saw piles of objects in different places.
"I'll prepare everything you want, put it in this pile." Humpty Dumpty pointed to a large pile of equipment.
I didn't understand this, so I watched the Yangtze count and check one by one.
"You're a fellow traveler, aren't you?" Humpty Dumpty brought a couple of plastic benches for us to sit on.
I just wanted to answer, but I remembered what Zhang Xin told me not to talk nonsense, so I had to shirk and say, "I'm just here to help him with chores." ”
"Where are you going to travel? Maybe I can give you some advice. "Hearing Humpty Dumpty say that, I don't think he's trying to give us advice, he's trying to sell us something.
"Qinling." After saying these two words, Yangzi continued to bury his head in inspecting the equipment.
Humpty Dumpty touched his beard and said, "There are quite a lot of snakes in Qinling, do you want to buy some of my homemade anti-snake medicine?" ”
I Humpty Dumpty looked at me, and I hurried to look at Yangtze.
Yangzi didn't speak, Humpty Dumpty added: "I'm also a senior traveler, I'll give you a few bags this time, and take care of my business more next time." ”
With that, Humpty Dumpty took out a few powdered bags from a cardboard box and stuffed them into my hands.
"Don't worry, I've experimented with all of this, and it's pretty good. The flashlight is equipped with a wolf's eye flashlight according to your requirements, and the quality of the jacket is also excellent, and there is no problem with wind and rain. ”
"Also, the quality of this mountaineering rope is also excellent, and it is all UIAA certified, so you can rest assured."
Just when Humpty Dumpty was still selling melons and boasting about herself, Yangzi basically checked the equipment.
Humpty Dumpty can also do business, and immediately said that he would give us a 20% discount.
Yangzi was relieved to sort the equipment into two bags and transfer money from his mobile phone to Humpty Dumpty, I didn't see how much it spent, I just knew that Humpty Dumpty was very happy when he received the money.
Humpty Dumpty helped us carry one of the bags and chased after Yangzi to see us off, his mouth kept putting on it, saying that next time a traveler must be introduced to him, there is a discount or something.
Until we got in the car, Humpty Dumpty was still reluctantly talking to us outside the window.
Yangzi is not ambiguous, just drive away.
I was in the rearview mirror and saw Humpty Dumpty still waving on the side of the road.
"How much it spent, look at what makes him happy." I muttered as I looked back.
I know that with the character of Yangzi, he will not answer me for a while.
Yangtze seemed to be familiar with these places, and quickly drove the car to the front of the print shop.
