Chapter Eighty-Three: The Ancestors Are Different
A whole week passed.
There was no penalty issued, and it seemed that the matter was over.
Xiao Wu's mood was still not very good, so Lei Jun did not let him go again in the fifties to make up for the leaks, but Fang Wuying went to complete it alone.
Xiao Wu's experience of accidentally breaking into 1943 was never mentioned in the office again, and out of some tacit thought, everyone tried to keep their mouths shut about it. The piece of brocade was sent for professional identification, and it was indeed a fabric from the Tang Dynasty, and in addition, the stain that Fang Wuying found on the edge of the brocade was confirmed to be human blood stains after sampling. Fang Wuying was taken aback, and he promised that it was definitely not him and Xiao Wu who did it.
"It wasn't Japanese blood, I saw it before the attack......
"It's definitely not Japanese, it's been many years, and it's not a new bloodstain." Lei Jun said, "It may have been contaminated in the process of preservation." β
"Alas, future generations are not filial, and cultural relics have to rely on the ancestors to rescue."
Lei Jun couldn't help laughing: "Which ancestor are you pretending to be here?" Xiaowei hasn't said anything yet. β
"Actually, the ancestors are not so easy to be." Fang Wuying said it, revealing a wry smile.
Lei Jun understood what he meant, and he glanced at the instrument room next door, where Xiao Wu was checking the equipment.
"What? He hasn't slowed down yet? He asked, lowering his voice.
"I'm afraid it won't be so fast." Fang Wuying said, "If you think about it, he has never killed anyone, at least not with his own hands. β
"Well, it is said that the queen is 'sexually forgiving, and the order is not plain', so that he can abstain from killing. This incident hit him hard. After Lei Jun finished speaking, he looked at Fang Wuying again, "You don't seem to be very stimulated." β
ββ¦β¦ There are many kinds of ancestors. Fang Wuying said angrily, "I'm sorry, I'm the kind that kills people like hemp." β
Lei Jun knew that he had touched his moldy head, so he only smiled and stopped talking.
However, this accident caused another result that was not very noticeable, and the relationship between Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying was closer than before.
Originally, before Wei Bin arrived, there were only two of them in the overall situation, and this kind of restriction was easy to push them to one place, but this time, the two of them risked being punished for violating the rules and did such a big thing together, and it was natural that the relationship would suddenly get closer.
Fang Wuying knew that the knots in Xiao Wu's heart were difficult to untie for a while, so after he came back, he often dragged him to eat and drink, hoping to unravel him, he knew very well that Xiao Wu was deeply affected by his nature, because the matter of killing was originally contrary to his normal state.
Killing was originally an act that went against human nature, but Fang Wuying felt that he had already had a thick shell in this matter, but Xiao Wu had never grown such a shell of resistance, so he would be hit hard this time.
"After Xu Sanduo kills people, he needs to go out for a walk before he can go back to Lao A. Are you going to go out for a walk? "Fang Wuying once joked with Xiao Wu like this.
Xiao Wu was also happy when he said this.
"I don't have that much time to spare." He shook his head, "Actually, intellectually it's been okay for a long time, but that feeling still lingers, making me uncomfortable." β
Fang Wuying was silent for a moment before he said, "You won't encounter this kind of thing again in the future, so it will be a little better if you look at it this way." β
"You mean, think of it as a certain point in your life?"
"Only by thinking like this can you let go completely, right?" Fang Wuying said, "Actually, you can try to write something." Poems, lyrics, plays or novels. It doesn't matter if no one reads it, reputation is useless to you anyway, and writing itself can soothe your emotions. β
Xiao Wu smiled: "Maybe, I can try to pick up the pen again." β
"You know this better than I do." Fang Wuying said, "The so-called necessity of writing in life - well, you see Duras is a good example, to use creation to rewrite the scars of early years or something......"
"Ah, you can really do literary criticism, how about a master's degree?"
"Come on! I'm a martial artist, why do I read so many books? Besides, didn't you get the opportunity to study in the unit last year? Why don't you go? Fang Wuying said and laughed, "What? Emperor Zi looks down on Fudan's diploma? β
"Where, all the people in office are Shui Kun, I want that thing to use for a dime? And they don't expect to climb up. β
The two were silent for a while, and Xiao Wu said: "Actually, I'm still a little worried about Eagle Wing, and Maria, and I don't know if she really went to the United States." β
"That's all out of our control." Fang Wuying said, "And more realistically, what you are worried about has already happened - even ended." If they were still alive, they would be eighty or ninety years old. β
"Emotionally, I think they're still in their early twenties, very young, and life has just begun."
The two of them had a little drink that day, and they came out of the restaurant late. There were no people on the street, and when the cool breeze blew, the body burned by alcohol was much more comfortable.
In the alley, quietly, only the footsteps of two people could be heard, and the crisp sound of the soles of shoes touching the ground was like an ancient nursery rhyme from a dream.
The starry blue dome was low above their heads, and on the spring night, the stars were unusually bright, each emitting a diamond-like cold light, and the faint moon buds were like kites blown up in the sky by the spring breeze, timidly sticking to the eastern sky. This reminded Xiao Wu of that sky decades ago......
"Be careful! β¦β¦β
There was a screeching sound, and a car stopped grazing Xiao Wu.
Feeling that Fang Wuying was grabbing his arm hard, Xiao Wu looked up and saw that there was a red light opposite.
"Uh, I forgot ...... when I looked at the sky"
"I'm serving you!" Fang Wuying muttered.
The window opened, and the driver poked his head out of it: "I said how to cross the street and was stunned?!" β
Xiao Wu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! β¦β¦β
The driver was a little displeased and wanted to say something, but the person in the back seat of the car patted him on the shoulder with his hand and signaled him not to get angry.
The glass of the car is black, and it is difficult to see the faces of the people inside.
Fang Wuying's gaze fell on the white license plate, and he could see under the street lamp that it was a military vehicle. At the same time, the driver's eyes also fell on Fang Wuying's lieutenant colonel's epaulettes.
"Be careful when you walk." The driver said to Xiao Wu lightly and started the car.
Looking at the car speeding away, Xiao Wu sighed inexplicably.
At noon the next day, while everyone was going to the cafeteria, Ling Juan called Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying into the office.
"Someone came in the morning." Ling Juan looked at the two of them, her expression was a little unnatural, "Someone wants to see you two tonight." β
Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying glanced at each other.
"I don't know exactly who wants to see you, or why." Ling Juan said, "It's just that I personally suspect that it may have something to do with the 43-year-old incident this time......
Xiao Wu felt nervous. Fang Wuying couldn't help but ask, "Director, what kind of order did you get from?" β
"It is said to be the General Staff, but when I came here, I was only given the way to the upper level." Ling Juan said, looking at Fang Wuying, "They only mentioned Xiao Wu, it seems that your side has already been mastered." β
Ling Juan said, giving a sealed envelope: "At seven o'clock tonight, go here and wait." β
Xiao Wu took the envelope and carried it in his arms.
"Maybe it's just for you to debrief again." Ling Juan comforted, "After all, this time the matter is more important. β
Out of the director's office and standing in the corridor, Xiao Wu and Fang Wuying didn't speak for a while.
"What the hell will happen?" He looked at the address in confusion, and then at Fang Wuying.
Fang Wuying shrugged.
ββ¦β¦ Could it be that we will be punished? β
"How is it punished?"
"Send us back?" Xiao Wu suddenly shuddered, "Send me back to the fifth generation, and send you back to the sixteen countries?" Oh, my God! β
"!" Fang Wuying interrupted him angrily, "Impossible! β
"But ......"
"Don't scare yourself, okay? We don't know the attitude yet! β
"Isn't that the attitude of coming out......"
"Where did it come out? You love to think nonsense! And always go for the worst! β
"It's by nature...... In other words, there are many kinds of ancestors. β
Fang Wuying laughed, he knew that Xiao Wu had heard the conversation between him and Lei Jun yesterday.
"Okay, I'm wrong, can we go to dinner, Ancestor?"
"Arrange the generations, after all, you are my ancestor." Xiao Wu muttered, "The Li Tang clan was originally mixed with the blood of the Xianbei people, although our family is an impostor......"
"Okay, now that this ancestor has officially allowed you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestorsβbefore entering the ancestral hall, can we go to the cafeteria first?"
"It's useless to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. Now, we are more like grasshoppers tethered to a vine. Xiao Wu sighed.
"Don't worry too much, Brother Grasshopper," Fang Wuying said solemnly, "Even if you have to get a guillotine tonight, you have to eat your meal first." Your problem is that you are too pessimistic. β
"If I can learn from your optimism, Brother Grasshopper, I wouldn't be myself." Xiao Wu smiled weakly and bent down to take out the lunch box from the drawer.
Su Hong was walking in with rice, and she looked at the two people inexplicably: "What grasshopper?" Deep-fried grasshoppers? Hi! It's delicious! β
"Ahhh It's too much! A ruthless woman! β
Fang Wuying glared at her, dragged Xiao Wu and rushed towards the cafeteria.
