Chapter 52: Night Talk. Mengmei



After a full twelve hours of rapid marching, Fengyinglou and his party advanced sixty kilometers on foot. By the time the sun was sinking again and was about to dive below the distant horizon, they had managed to evade border guards and enter Botswana, which borders South Africa.

The headquarters of the Oriental Petrel is located at the junction of South Africa and Botswana and Namibia, which is commonly known as the three areas, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than two months.

With the blockade of those troops, even if Mustanfa wanted to pursue and kill, it would never be possible to send a large force of pursuers to rampage through Botswana. If he sent only small "elite" troops...... Excuse me, under Mustanfa, what troops can be elite enough to be able to beat the veterans of Dongfang Haiyan, and who can be elite enough to be the captain of Fengying Building?!

In other words, as long as their troops smuggled into Botswana to avoid pursuit, they are safe as long as they are not detected by border guards and cause unnecessary conflicts.

Wind Shadow let out a long sullen breath, and he shrugged his already sore shoulders, until this time, he finally had time to take a closer look at the country around him that he had never set foot in.

It is a typical landlocked country, bordering South Africa, in the Kalahari Desert in the middle of the South African highlands, but this does not mean that in front of them is desperately dry and yellow sand. When the breeze blows in the face, the coolness and comfort that follows greatly dilute the wind and the group, and the rapid march for up to twelve hours brings heat and fatigue. And the vigorous plants on the surface of the earth, dancing with the wind, look like a group of elves dressed in beautiful clouds, dancing.

Looking up at the top of their heads, the blue sky was almost free of impurities, so blue that it seemed to have an invisible attraction, the sky that you would never want to look away from again, and even the Wind Shadow Building had an urge to reach out and touch them. Botswana is an agricultural country, and the beef exported from this country has been sold to any corner of the world, which has brought them a steady stream of currency, making this African country have the most surging vitality. It is precisely because there is no industrial base and no pollution that this country retains such a pure and pristine clear sky.

In the wind in the distance, there was a faint sound of copper bells, and the Wind Shadow Tower turned his head and saw the scout wearing a camouflage net lying on a sand dune, and made a "safe" gesture to him, and the Wind Shadow House immediately woke up, this must be the indigenous people living in the primitive tribes of Botswana, who were driving their cattle and sheep to graze, trying to return to their place of residence before the sun fell.

Wind Shadow House walked over, he took the binoculars from the scout's hand, and looked into the distance, and on the other side of the horizon, he saw several adobe houses. The houses look a bit like yurts. These adobe houses, which only have a space of more than a dozen square meters, are built on the sand, and their owners use wooden fences around them to establish their own courtyards, and those few wisps of rising smoke are drifting into the distance with the breeze, which makes Fengyinglou's heart have to sigh that the human beings living on this land have the most tenacious and rugged vitality.

Staring at everything in front of him, Fengying Lou was really stupid.

……

The vast grassland, the beautiful hills, the green cattle and sheep

The white clouds are long and the rainbow hangs in the blue sky

A young man stood on the prairie with a leather whip in his hand

Gently humming a steppe pastoral song, tending to the cows and sheep

Young man, I want to ask

Can you let me tell me what I want?

Young people wish I could

With you, with you, with you to take care of the cows and sheep

……

I don't know why, Fengyinglou thought of it, and even really hummed this song softly, he didn't know when he heard it, so he silently remembered it in his heart.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"

The crisp applause sounded from behind the Wind Shadow Building, and the Wind Shadow Building didn't need to look back to know that it was Nona who followed the footprints he left behind, step by step, and listened to the song he sang as an "eavesdropper".

Nona walked to the side of the Wind Shadow Building, standing side by side with him on the sand dunes, she untied the hair rope and let her beautiful long golden hair flutter with the breeze, she looked at the young but still hard face of the Wind Shadow Building, she suddenly leaned over and left a light kiss on the face of the Wind Shadow Building, "Do you know, your eyes are really sad now, so sad that I suddenly want to take you into my arms and use all means to comfort you." Isn't it funny, you are obviously a professional soldier who kills people without blinking, you obviously have the most terrible power on the battlefield, but I think you look ...... Wretched! ”

Wind Shadow didn't speak, he just waved his hand, and the scout immediately left the small sand dune in amusement.

Feng Yinglou sat on the sand dunes that were still warm with the sun, he reached out and picked a few dark red fruits from the bushes around him, slightly smaller than a ping pong ball, and with a slight pinch of his fingers, he pinched the hard shell on the surface of these fruits, revealing the milky white flesh inside, and then handed a few of them to Nona's hands.

Nona looked at the food in her hand suspiciously, seeing that Kazekage had already picked out the flesh and put it in her mouth, and finally she tried to open her mouth. Although this fruit grown in the desert has a hard shell and can never contain rich water, it is because it grows in the harshest natural environment, but it has a sweetness that makes people feel slightly drunk as soon as it enters the mouth.

"You Chinese often say that touching the scene is emotional, and we Western scholars have also said that the more human beings go to nature, the easier it is to release their original surname. If you can sing this song full of grassland style, it shows that you are eager to get this kind of isolated and ordinary life. ”

Nona also learned from the Wind Shadow Building, sat on the sand dune, she put her chin on her arm, looked at the Wind Shadow Building with a pair of curious and gentle eyes, and whispered: "But I really didn't expect that I would hear this song in your mouth, and I don't believe it if I was killed, a hero who has been prepared to build a country by force, maybe will go down in history forever because of this, and is destined to be with war and struggle for the rest of his life, will still maintain such a plain heart at this time." ”

Heroes of the world?!

Hearing such exaggerated praise from the mouth of Nona, the world's top war correspondent, Fengyinglou couldn't help but subconsciously shake his head. He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "That's right, I asked you to tell everyone in public that we can build a country of our own with our own strength, but this does not mean that I have great ambitions and ambitions. ”

"Is it~~~?"

Nona stretched out her voice, perhaps following the members of the Dongfang Haiyan Army, she had marched sixty kilometers in a row for twelve hours, which had already reached the limit of her physical strength, and she leaned directly on the shoulder of the Wind Shadow Building, turning a small half of her body weight to the Wind Shadow Building's body without shyness. She rolled her blue eyes slightly, and muttered: "Yes, you personally tell the plan for the founding of the country, those soldiers who have only met you for the first time and have not established a relationship of trust and respect at all will only be disgusted with you, and you are naturally disloyal and unfilial to you by the concept of you Orientals!" However, if I, a British female journalist, tried to persuade them as a third party, even if they would be stunned, the seeds of the establishment of the country by force have been deeply planted in their hearts, and as long as there is the right soil and opportunity, sooner or later, this idea will break through the ground and become the strongest cry in everyone's hearts. ”

Maybe she felt that it was not very comfortable to pill on the shoulders of the Wind Shadow Building, Nona arched, and finally put her head almost into the arms of the Wind Shadow Building, and half lay down comfortably on the sand dune, relaxing every muscle in her body, Nona couldn't help but let out a satisfied moan. Looking up at Fengyinglou's face that was slightly red because of her sudden over-intimacy, she suddenly said, "Can you tell me what kind of system you plan to use to manage your country if you really build the country." Monarchy? Boiled? Republic? Or militarism? ”

Wind Shadow Lou kept shaking his head slightly, and frankly, Nona used a couple-like movement to lie in his arms, making him feel uncomfortable all over his body. But from the first day he entered the UK, he received Nona's full help in terms of materials and connections, in order to help him purchase enough weapons and equipment through underground channels, Nona even pawned the house she lived in at the lowest price, in the face of this love, Fengyinglou had already regarded Nona as a most reliable friend, he really didn't do anything, and pushed Nona away from his arms.

After pondering for a moment, Fengyinglou said: "Since you know our China so well, then you should probably have heard the allusion to the idiom 'Wangmei quenches thirst', right?" ”

Nona blinked, thought about it and thought about it, and suddenly clapped her hands and laughed and shouted: "I know, it was during your Three Kingdoms period, there was a hero named Cao Ying, who led the troops to the battle, but there was no water source on the road, the soldiers were so thirsty that they couldn't walk, Liu Bei lied to everyone that there was a plum forest in front of them, and the soldiers drooled when they heard it, and they walked fast, and finally found the water......

Speaking of this, Nona's voice was suddenly interrupted, she looked at Fengyinglou's face, and said in a low voice, "Are you quenching everyone's thirst?!" ”

"It should be said that I am giving everyone a hope."

Wind Shadow House suddenly showed a crying and laughing expression, because he finally figured out why Nona was suddenly so affectionate to him.

As a super-first-class war reporter, Nona wanted to dig up the inside story from him, and was sure that Fengyinglou would not really "eat" her, so Suo directly used the "lust temptation" trick to disrupt Fengyinglou's normal thinking rhythm, and took the opportunity to dig out some more fierce material to satisfy a woman's curiosity that can kill cats 100%.

In fact, Nona really doesn't need to use such a killer feature, for a friend who can definitely be trusted, as long as she asks, Fengying Lou will not hide it. "Look back at the people behind us. When they went abroad and joined Dongfang Haiyan, they were destined to go to the edge of Chinese law. No matter what they encounter, they cannot go to the Chinese embassy to ask for help, let alone return to China with a temporary attitude of hiding, and wait until the crisis is over, and then come back to resume their old jobs. Don't look at the appearance of Dongfang Haiyan, in fact, each of them is an outcast of self-exile to the country. ”

Nona nodded in understanding.

"They no longer have the backing of the state, the Oriental Haiyan Mercenary Group, and the head of the Haiqing Dance Troupe, these two naturally become their last psychological support points. But now Dongfang Haiyan's last base has been captured by the enemy, and half of the support point in everyone's hearts has been lost...... As the head of the group, Hai Qingwu died again? ”

Nona was also silent, a word, neither she nor the Wind Shadow Building were willing to say it...... Roving bandits!

If there is no country, no base, and no core leader who can bring everyone together, their veterans will become a group of rogues who have no hope and can only run around like headless flies, purely for the sake of living!

At that time, even if there is no enemy attack, within three months, the once famous Oriental Petrel will completely disappear from the world mercenary stage.

People who are already desperate will only give up on themselves, but people with hope, even if this hope is too exaggerated and too presumptuous, once they are cornered, everyone will burst out with the strongest fighting spirit, fight him a mountain and water, and make a bright future.

And building the country by force is the last hope that Fengyinglou instills in everyone, so that they will not give up on themselves!

Nona finally understood the big boy, and finally understood why his eyes were so sad when he stood at the top of the sand dunes, singing a pastoral song full of grassland style.

He has the toughest soul and knows the most terrible killing techniques, but he has no ambitions to match. To put it bluntly, he is just a stupid child who longs to be cared for by others, hopes and loves each other, stays with each other for life, looks at the coming and falling, and dies quietly together.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the heavens did not give him such a plain life that is easy for ordinary people.

Nona looked deeply at the Wind Shadow Building, looking at him in the dark, still shimmering, really not angry and self-righteous eyes, feeling his body, with a long breath and breath, and up and down, followed by the masculinity and domineering, tasting his true heart, and finally she let out a soft sigh in her heart, with the heart of the Wind Shadow Building, sighed softly: "As the so-called times create heroes, Wind Shadow Building, you have sprinkled the seeds into everyone's heart." When the situation forces you to embark on this path, whether your inner dream is to take a whip or not to graze cattle and sheep on the savannah, you must be at the forefront of the war stage, and strive to become a hero that everyone is crazy to respect, until you step on the corpses of countless enemies and comrades-in-arms and create a new country! ”

Kazekage didn't speak again, and Nona shrank into his arms and obediently closed her mouth. The two of them sat there quietly, quietly watching the stars blink like naughty children under the black sky; Looking at a brilliant meteor, burning itself, drawing a short and dazzling trajectory in the distant sky; Looking at the unknown little insects in the silver moonlight, constantly circling and flying in the air, pouring their happiness and activity into this deep and generous earth without reservation, until it is engraved into such a plain, so real, but so unforgettable eternity.

The two of them sat together quietly like this, and after a long time, Feng Yinglou's hand had naturally rested on Nona's head, unconsciously gently stroking her smooth and beautiful blonde hair like silk satin, and his subconscious movements were as gentle as stroking a cutest kitten.

Brothers in life and death who have suffered hardships together, the most trusted friends who have undergone rigorous tests, confidants who are attracted to each other by a certain trait in each other, and couples who act too intimately...... Maybe even they can't tell what their current relationship is.

I don't know how long I sat quietly like this, how long I thought about it, Fengyinglou suddenly showed a listening look, and after more than ten seconds, Nona barely heard that behind the darkness, there was a rustling of footsteps.

The person who came was Zhou Yuqi, he just walked under the sand dune, and then said, "Fengyinglou, dinner is ready." ”

Wind Shadow House responded, "Hmm! ”

"Fengyinglou, let's make an agreement."

Listening to the footsteps of Zhou Yuqi turning back, Nona smiled and said: "If one day, you are forced by the current situation to really try to advance bravely and form a new country, let me be your foreign minister." I, the foreign minister who has been a war correspondent for more than ten years, can be said to have friends all over the world, and I have a lot of friendship with dignitaries and dignitaries of some countries. ”

Fengyinglou smiled, "I was quenching the thirst of the brother Wangmei below, but I didn't expect that you would actually learn and sell now, and also draw me a big plum forest!" However, when I think about it, when I am forced to the last step, I can still have a first-class foreign minister who can join for free, and this alone makes my heart less empty. That's a good trick! ”
