Chapter 217: Forty-Eight Hours (38)
Of course I won't pay attention to this old fellow. While I'm really interested in their skills of communicating and tapping on the side without revealing a trace, what to do with him? He sold me, and I'm sure I'm counting the money for him. Forget it...
The old god Vukovic and the old thing Klinger, the two old men and the profiteer Grazi talked until the middle of the night. At the end of the long talk, they all looked like they were talking happily.
I learned from the old god stick that there was a cooperation agreement between them. And the closeness has been greatly strengthened, which should have surpassed the previous cooperation with Kostic. From this point of view, the old thing is going to dig deep nails here and speed up the penetration. But none of this has anything to do with me, I'm just a contractor, and now that the project is over, I'm waiting to get the money and get out. Besides, it's not a good thing to know more about this, and it doesn't do me any good.
After a brief chat with Vukovic, when they were about to go back to rest, he told me that tomorrow he would leave with the bodies of the fallen and hold a mass funeral for them in his town. He invited me to join him.
For this invitation, of course, it is full of promises. I can't say no, in fact, in my opinion, this is the only meaningful and most meaningful thing I can do here at the moment.
I went back to my cabin and fell asleep. I try not to think too much about myself, and try to fall asleep quickly, otherwise I will always be inexplicably sad and lost in the face of the night.
I got up early the next morning. I didn't really sleep well in a daze. Vukovic, the old god, also got up quite early, and he seemed to be very different from those two old things. The old guy Younis is most likely still dreaming at this time, in addition to being strong enough to be nervous, he likes to pour himself a few sips when he has nothing to do, and he won't wake up at this time. And what about Klinger? I don't know, but from the point of view I think I'm a workaholic, who doesn't go to bed early, but also doesn't wake up early.
The funerals here are much easier than I expected. I don't know if it's the custom or the perennial war that makes people see death a lot more clearly, anyway, it's much simpler than the funeral in my hometown. The only difference is that there can be a coffin here, and my companions have been cleaned and put into clean clothes, and although the quality of those coffins seems to me to be average, it seems that these are not valued here. There were not many people at the funeral, and it was bustling with people, and it was estimated that there were no more than these dead.
Soon after, several new rows of graves were added to the cemetery that Vukovic showed me. Now they don't have any tombstones, because it's too late to do them, just write their names on wooden boards in front of each cemetery.
"Don't worry, old fellow. I'll arrange for someone to bring your share to the people you care about. And the letter. I whispered and turned to leave.
I didn't immediately go back to my cottage, but chatted casually with Vukovic. We talked a lot, for a long time without a topic at all. But after the conversation, I feel a lot better. There is always a place for a religion that has survived to this day and flourished for a long time.
By the time I got back to the cottage, it was nearly evening. At this moment, the people here have been divided into two groups, one group is ready to leave and start a new life, and the other group is ready to continue to work with Vuriqi.
When they saw me, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at me. As if wishing I was talking to them about something.
Actually, I see that they have a very bad feeling. A group of people who were born and died together, after defeating their enemies, ended up in a scattered group. Although some of them should have a good life, at least better than they are now. But now this scene feels somewhat bleak. I suddenly remembered a book, "Water Margin". The scene of the Liangshan brothers after beating Fang La, it seems that there are really a few similarities with now.
I didn't speak, just hugged them one by one. Hug the past one by one, and this can be regarded as a farewell. I think it's a better way to express my feelings than to say it with my mouth.
Just after I had finished all the hugs, I noticed that Nikki and Zhao Yi were standing there looking at me not far away. Nicky is still the same harmless appearance. I smiled at him and walked over to them, I knew they were here to pick us up.

"Originally, when I heard the news, I also told him that I was going to organize people to help you in a big retreat, or even a big escape. It seems that I am thinking too much. Nicky smiled as he stretched out his arms to me.
I hugged Nicky, "Actually, it's pretty much the same. Wouldn't you still be asked to come over and help me escape? ”
"Haha. That's different. Nicky smiled nonchalantly, "The result now is undoubtedly the best." Much better than we thought. Don't think that running away is a bad thing, or that you just lose. In my opinion, this matter is actually very dangerous, and it is actually good to stop at this time, otherwise NATO. You wouldn't think they were a charity, would you? ”
"Haha. Of course I won't. But I always feel that the price I paid for such an ending is too great. I said.
Nicky shook his head, "It's better than dying yourself." As he spoke, he pointed to himself and said, "You know what I do, and I've been doing it for years." But surely you don't know what I've learned over the years? Nicky looked at me playfully.
"Thoughts?" I shook my head.
Nicky sighed and said, "Or maybe it's a lesson." Mine, and what I draw from others. In fact, many people think it's ridiculous to say it. It's also very simple to say, it is "know to escape"
"Know how to escape?" This answer was a bit of a surprise to me, and I always thought it would be cautious or willing to spend money to pave the way or something.
"Yes. It's just knowing how to run away. Don't look at me like that, if I didn't know that, you and I wouldn't have had a chance to get to know each other. Nicky said and smiled again.
I nodded, as if that was the way it was. Didn't even NATO negotiate terms with us at the last moment? So what? Bowing my head for a moment doesn't mean that I have lost, and I am running away to a large extent to avoid the ensuing revenge.
"You're in danger now. Remember what I told you before? Our goals are getting bigger and bigger. Nicky whispered.
"Yes." I nodded.
"The moment you put off Maslov, you were already in the field of vision of those who have a heart. And then you went to the United States with that Eunice? Nicky asked.
I nodded and was about to speak, when Nicky waved his hand and said, "Don't tell, I'm not interested in knowing." But I'm telling you, what you're doing has caught the attention of others, and it's hostile to you. ”
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Haha. What do I do? Nicky gestured to himself, "A person who delivers a package doesn't just know the way. After speaking, he suddenly became serious and said, "Someone has been inquiring about the seventeenth bureau. These people come from many different sources, but I think it's all superficial, and I think you know what it is, and I think it's a big threat to you. Maybe you shouldn't have told you that. But I always feel that we are more like a few people huddling together in the cold wind to keep warm, and any one of them will push us down the road to death. So, don't overthink it. Being alive is more important than anything else. Nicky laughed again and patted me.
What Nicky said finally made me feel a little scared. Although I knew that NATO would retaliate, I never thought about what it would be. Although Nicky didn't say anything explicitly here, it was not difficult to hear from the words that the seventeenth game had been blacklisted. And what we're doing here is undoubtedly improving our ranking in that blacklist a lot. Of course, I still don't think the blacklist will point directly at a contractor like me, but if I continue to hang out with those two old things, then I'll be the first to bear the brunt of the revenge.
"Alright. Let's talk about something happy. I've already made your itinerary for you, and I know you're going to a wedding. But there were still a few days left for the wedding. So what to do? How about a trip to the Czech Republic? Prague, a city where ancient buildings have been preserved to near perfection. I happen to have a place to live there, so how about we go and see it? Nicky laughs.
I glanced at the side
Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi nodded at me. I looked at Nicky, "Okay. Check it out. I've been to a lot of places, but I haven't really traveled yet. ”
Before leaving, I went to the hospital to see Milk. Before I could enter the room, I heard shouts from inside.
"Are you going to get into trouble again?" Milk shouted.
"Nope. Why do you always say that about me? "The voice of the man's wife.
"Isn't it? Did we just know each other? Say it! And is it time for you to go home? Are you here to be mad at me? ”
"Huh. I've only been here for a long time, and how does it sound like I've been here for half a year now? Besides, I'm not here because you're useless? I couldn't even get out of bed when I was beaten. The man sneered.
"Half a year? If you were really here, I would have crashed and died there for half a year. ”
"What are you talking about? Why do you get older and less useful, but also have a weirder temper? If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't get out of bed, I'd do it. ”
"Bang Bang". This should be the sound of something being thrown out.
"Come on! Here you go. Am I still afraid of you? You stinky bitch. Milky shouted.
"Huh. You see, you can't get the right head when you throw something. I can handle you with one arm. ”
"Let's try. Look at how good my good sister is. Come on! Milk continued.
I pushed open the door and saw the man's wife standing across from the hospital bed. Grandet looked innocently on the other side. Milk saw me and said, "Huh." Finally came one on my side. He said and pointed to Grande, "This one is useless, looking at it like a blind man and a deaf man." After speaking, he looked at Grande and said, "Are you a hanger?" Standing there motionless. ”
Grandet said with a tangled face: "Then what do you want me to do?" Would you like to beat up your sister together? ”
"Just him? Okay, let's go with the two of you. Hahaha. The man's wife laughed arrogantly.
"Take a look. This is my sister, my own sister. What are you bringing him here for? What are you doing? I wasn't beaten to death by someone else, and I was angry with him. ”
"Take your breath off." I said as I picked up the lunch box on the floor, "I'm getting out of here." You should get out of here together, too. I said as I walked over to Milk, "It's time for you to retire." Like you said, find a sunny spot to dance veneer with beautiful women. ”
Milk's emotions quickly subsided when I said this. He looked at me, "Really broke up?" ”
"They're gone. I've got your share ready. Think of it as a pension. I said and looked at the man's wife, "Take him home." Don't let him come out again, if he does, help break his legs. ”
"Haha. Gypsy, I've always disliked you. Until after you say this. The man's wife said and looked at Milk, "My dear useless brother. Now let's die, come home with me. Father and mother, and aunts, uncles, and uncles are waiting to see you. After speaking, the man's wife looked at Grande, "I was still stunned as to what to do to prepare a wheelchair." ”
"East... Don't you pack your stuff? Grandet began to work in a hurry.
"Clean up the. Who wants all this? Just take the person away. The man's wife looked at me after speaking, "Where's my brother's money?" ”
I smiled, "Drag the oil bottle!" ”
The oil bottle walked in with the money and handed it to the man's wife. The man's wife didn't look at it, and directly looked at Milk, who was being moved into a wheelchair, "Go home." ”
