I stayed with the oil bottle until the end of the year. In more than two months, this guy not only got along with Uncle Jiang and those uncles and uncles, but even got quite close to my female police classmate. The two of them talked and laughed when they met, as if they were old classmates for many years.

Seeing that Christmas has passed, New Year's Day is just around the corner. On this day, after dragging the oil bottle and returning from another slaughter, I said, "Isn't it time for you to go home and have a look?" ”

The oil bottle looked at me, nodded, and said, "Almost." It's time to go home. “

Hearing that he was finally willing to go home, I immediately got up, "Do you want to buy something to take home?" “

"No, I don't. My family lacks nothing. The oil bottle waved his hand.

"Is that the same thing as something missing? How long have you been hanging out here? Have you been in contact with your family? This is a piece of mind, and you often claim to be a self-proclaimed wanderer, and you want me to tell you this truth? I asked.

"Yes, yes. You're right. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and then said, "Uncle Jiang sometimes asks me what you do." ”

"Huh? What do you say? "I immediately became nervous, this old man asked what this is for?

"Running business. I'm just talking about running business, and I don't know the specifics. Said the oil bottle.

I nodded, and although this answer was equal to no answer, it was also true. "And how do you explain it, a college student? Got a question? You've been with me for two months. “

"This... That's the least worrying thing I am. They absolutely believe that I am a student of ancient architecture, and you have forgotten what I am doing? I myself have painted the outlines of some pavilions in front of them, and I have also introduced to them what are the representative buildings of the same era in Europe. Rest assured, they firmly believe that I am a student of ancient architecture. The oil bottle said confidently.

"They? How many people have you talked to? I asked.

The oil bottle pointed at the uncles and uncles who were still fighting indifferently, "It's them." Uncle Jiang, also... And your classmates. “

"Forehead 。。。。。" I looked at him, "You're about to become a celebrity here... The uncles and uncles I grew up here may not have said as much as you... “

"I can't help it... I didn't bother to go ... ”

"Don't talk nonsense... You see if there's anything good here. You take it home first, these two days. No! Fuck off tomorrow. Hurry up, hurry up! ”

This time the oil bottle was not too lazy to go. He was put on the train by me, and I didn't ask him when he would be able to see him again. He didn't tell me when he would come to me. In my opinion, it is still good for people like us to not see each other, and it is good for each of us to enjoy our own comfortable life from time to time?

After sending away the oil bottle, my life suddenly became extremely peaceful. It's so peaceful that it's a little boring. I don't go for a run early in the morning, I don't do anything to prepare for a possible fight. I slept until I woke up naturally every day, and the days when I came to reach out for food and open my mouth were extremely comfortable. When I was so comfortable that I was fine, I went to the chess stand opposite to watch people play chess, and then it developed from watching to playing by myself, and then it developed to the point that I got to know all the uncles and uncles there。。。。。

"Huh? Xiao Linzi, haven't seen your little brother for a while? Where is he? "One day when I was looking at the store, Uncle Jiang, who came to buy cigarettes, asked.

"Home. Went back early. I hurriedly said.

"Oh... Uncle Jiang nodded, took the cigarette apart, took out one and lit it, "That kid is quite interesting." I've never seen a college student like him... ”

"Huh? What happened to him? "I immediately became nervous.

&nb

sp; Uncle Jiang glanced at me and smiled, "What are you nervous about?" He didn't do anything. But from what he said, you can tell that this kid is not an ordinary person. “

Just when I didn't know how to answer, a shout came from across the street, "Hey! I said Lao Jiang, are you coming or not? Isn't it just a pack of cigarettes? You can't afford to lose, huh? “

"What are you shouting about? That's where it comes. After Uncle Jiang finished speaking, he walked out of the door.

I let out a long sigh of relief。。。。。 This word is really reasonable. I have experienced it very profoundly...

New Year's Day passed quickly. The new year has arrived, or I have lived another full year. As I watched the New Year's Day party, I was thinking about celebrating that I had returned home alive. During this time, I would often check my mailbox, and I don't know why I always wanted to check it. Actually, I don't want to do those things anymore, but I'll check them out anyway. And there is a lot of interest in the United States fighting Afghanistan. I'm so interested that I discuss it with my uncles and uncles who play chess with me from time to time. I find it interesting to talk about other people's wars, without any burden or danger. Say whatever you want, use your imagination as much as you want.

It was already dark and I was sitting in the store waiting for the store to close. In winter, the temperature drops quickly after the sun goes down, and there are very few people who come out. Just as I was about to tidy up and close the door for home in a little while, I suddenly heard movement outside and thought someone was looking into the store.

I became alert, and I looked to the door. It's dark outside, and the store is relatively bright, so you can't see the outside at all. That is, I am in the light, and the person I want to see is in the dark.

I walked slowly to the door. I wouldn't have done that if it had been a change of war. But after all, this is at home, not to mention that the security here has always been better, even the street police station is not far from me. And when I got to the door, a figure flashed out from under a tree on the side of the road.

This figure is a person I know. That was my first feeling, and it was just when I was sure who this person was. The man took two slow steps forward. And these two steps just allowed a beam of light to shine on his face.

"John?" I could see each other's faces clearly, especially the scar on the face that had been left in Grozny.

John looked around and said, "Can you talk?" ”

I nodded, stepped out of the way, and said, "Talk in the store." ”

After entering the store, John looked at me and smiled, "I didn't expect me to come." I can't believe you're still so alert. Indeed, you have not been idle during this time. ”

I smiled at first, but I quickly realized the problem with the second half of the sentence. "What do you mean. You know what I'm doing? ”

"Don't look at me like that." John looked at my supermarket, "I'm not talking to you. As he spoke, he looked at me, "You went to Yugoslavia, right?" “

"Uhh I looked at him, "I'm going... “

"It doesn't matter what you do. Anyway, it's all done, and it's all done and it's all done. John waved his hand, "I happened to be passing through this country on some business, so I stopped by to see my friend and see if he was at home." Are you still messing around with those Slavs? “

"I've been at home for a long time." I said, "How did you know I was here?" ”

John smiled, "You're not hard to find. There are so many ways to find you. You're not a secret unit. But I'm relieved to see you here. “

"What do you mean?" I asked.

John sighed and looked a little tired, "I said I owed you. All I can tell you is to stop getting involved in those guys' affairs. Stop doing things for them. I know you seem to be having an unpleasant time, as if you have broken up. But whether it's a group or not, please don't get involved with them again. ”

/

"Do you know anything?" I asked.

John took a bottle of red wine from the shelf and looked at it, "Can you give this to me?" ”

"No problem." I replied.

"Nope. I don't know anything. But trust me. It's not my turn to do that, and I think you know what I'm responsible for. And now the biggest thing for us is in Afghanistan. A large number of men are fighting there, are you interested in coming along? “

I shook my head, "I'm retired. ”

John looked at me from head to toe, "I think so." You're fatter and whiter than before. It's good to retire, really. This time they gathered a lot of people, and these people are very powerful. John walked to the door, "I should go." He said with his arms open to me, "Why don't you hug me?" ”

After I hugged John, John whispered in my ear, "Remember what I just said. Be sure to remember. After saying that, he turned and walked out, and soon a car drove by, and John opened the door and got into the car.

I sat back in the store, thinking about what John had said. I tried to calm myself down, it was a bit weird to meet like this. The content of the talk is not even pleasant. Obviously, this is a warning to me. Warn me not to be with Paul and them anymore, or to stop doing things for Seventeen. He said that these words were a bit informative, first of all, what did he want to explain when he came to me? Was it to show the importance of what he told me about it, or to tell me in passing that it was actually easy to find me. If so, then he may have gotten some news about revenge against the Seventeenth Bureau. He was trying to tell me that if he continued to help the Seventeenth Bureau, it would be very likely that he would be approached by the enemy.

That's what it means. However, his later words seemed to be saying that they thought that my cooperation with the Seventeenth Bureau was very unpleasant, and they broke up. I have to say, their intelligence is really amazing. And maybe it's that kind of information that helps me a lot, because in John's words, it always sounds like there's a sense of "you still have a chance" in it.

And then those words, "They gathered a lot of people, and these people were very powerful. "At first glance, it sounds like it's talking about Afghanistan, and it makes sense, and you can feel it in the news and on TV. But when you think about it, John seems to mean something else, as if he was saying that in order to deal with the seventeenth round, "they" gathered a lot of manpower. This they ... It is to show that if it means Afghanistan, then for an American, he should use "we". He himself said before, "And now the biggest thing for us is in Afghanistan." Then this "they" must be the ones who want to take revenge on the Seventeenth Bureau.

Am I going to inform Paul? I stood up, and at this moment I realized that I was actually breaking out in a cold sweat. Maybe it's not necessary how do I contact them in the first place. Second, for revenge, the old guy is mentally prepared. It was mentioned before I left Serbia. They should have a response. Third, maybe someone else has already done it now.

I closed the door and walked all the way home. Let's hope Paul and they get through it...
