Chapter 44 Awakening
[44] Sober up
Xiaoqiang hurriedly followed Li Lao into the villa, this villa is obviously some years, the exterior wall is the fifties cement wave modeling, that is, with a reed broom sticking cement slurry to beat the brick wall, a shape after the cement slurry solidifies, this kind of exterior wall decoration is a very popular house exterior wall decoration technique at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which can not only be waterproof and infiltrate to a certain extent, but also beautify the wall, especially suitable for planting creepers or trumpet flowers and other rosaceae climbing plants on the sunny side of the house, and build a little in summer. The entire wall has become a square green block and natural air conditioning.
The interior of the house has obviously been renovated in a simple and elegant style. An interior decorator once said that by looking at the curtains, you can know the taste and character of a family. All the curtains in this villa are double-hung white openwork cotton gauze curtains plus a light blue cotton blackout curtain, you can feel the delicate, smart and simple conveyed by the owner.
The lighting on the third floor comes from the attic windows on both sides of the corridor, although the windows are not large, but there is a difference between having windows and not having windows. There are not as many rooms on the third floor as downstairs, there is a total of one door on the left and right, Li Lao took out the key he had just taken out from his room on the first floor, opened the door on the north side, and turned on the light in the room next to the door. Xiao Qiang went in with Li Lao and found that the windows of the room were welded with iron bars from the inside, and there was no decoration in the room. Two tall iron cabinets connected to the roof occupy the entire wall, with large locks hanging on the doors, an aluminum alloy telescopic ladder in the corner, and some old wooden boxes on the other wall.
Li Lao closed the door after Xiaoqiang came in, and opened the big lock on the high-speed rail leather cabinet in the room. The cabinet door opened, Xiao Qiang was taken aback, this turned out to be a standard gun cabinet, the upper part of the cabinet was lined up with six different rifles, Xiao Qiang recognized one of them as the common "38 big cover" on TV, and the one on the side was a bit like an American M1 Garand rifle......
Li Lao turned to look at Xiao Qiang, his eyes flashed with pride, and said, "Boy, how about you take a look at my collection?" I've collected all the guns I've collected all my life here, and today I'll open your eyes. The old man was obviously excited, but he made a flat look. Collectors always do this when they show their collections to others, and it's a good time to compliment them.
Xiaoqiang said in his heart, I often go back in 1949, World War II guns are not new over there, but the old man's face must be given, so he touched this and that, admired and amazed, and the sycophants and high hats flew together. The old man listened comfortably, and his face couldn't help showing a smug look.
Li Lao opened the drawer in the middle of the cabinet, it turned out that there were all pistols in it, he took out a brand new one from it and handed it to Xiao Qiang: "This Type 92 5.8mm pistol is brand new, and it was put away after only one box of bullets, what do you think?" ”
Xiaoqiang took it and pretended to aim, in fact, she knows a fart, she has never fired a shot in her life, where do you know what guns are good and bad, but look at the workmanship of this gun is extremely exquisite, and the swarthy body of the gun glows with cold light, which is definitely not bad.
Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Type 92 is a good gun, I heard that the Hong Kong garrison uses this model, which is an advanced pistol in the whole Shijie." ”
Seeing his weird and stupid aiming posture, Li Lao knew that he was playing the piano to the cow, took out a box of 50 rounds of 5.8mm ammunition from under the cabinet, and said solemnly to Xiaoqiang: "Young man, you remember, this gun is only used for self-defense, and it can't be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary." ”
Xiao Qiang saw that something was wrong in the old man's eyes, and knew that his posture was embarrassing, so he said curtly: "Xiexie Grandpa Li, I must keep in mind your words, the Ministry of National Defense * is helping me apply for a gun license, and it is estimated that I will be able to come down in the near future." ”
When the old man saw Xiaoqiang accept the gun, he was secretly happy, "This can't be regarded as taking your Luger P08 for nothing, right?" Although the pistol is an industrially produced weapon, the factory is a qualified product, but my 92 was personally selected in the factory, and more than a dozen 92 were shot down one by one, which is the most targeted, and it is definitely a low-probability boutique. ”
Li Lao handed the gun and bullets to Xiao Qiang along with the holster, and was satisfied with the Luger and the magazine into the drawer, locked the cabinet door and door as they were, and turned around and went downstairs with Xiao Qiang.
As soon as he arrived in the living room, Li Muyun greeted him and said eagerly: "Grandpa, where have you gone, I can't find you for a long time, I'm in a hurry." ”
After speaking, she looked at Xiaoqiang sideways, and said a little embarrassed: "You woke up, did you sleep well last night?" ”
Li Lao joked: "You are looking for me fake, but looking for a boyfriend is real, right?" I took your friend upstairs to look at my collection. ”
Li Muyun suddenly blushed, raised his voice and said quickly: "It's not like this, I am an ordinary friend with him, he is a good friend of the eldest brother, he was drunk last night, and the eldest brother said that he was relieved to sleep here." So I brought him. ”
Grandpa Li smiled and waved his hand and said, "Say whatever you want, ask Cuicui to cook two more dishes, and this young man will leave me here for lunch today." ”
Li Muyun saw that it was his grandfather who said it, so he didn't say anything and walked to the kitchen at the other end of the house to inform the nanny.
After bringing Xiaoqiang back yesterday, the grandfather had already slept, and the brother and sister didn't wake up the old man, but directly put Xiaoqiang on the bed in the guest room and notified the nanny to watch.
Last night, she got up to see Xiaoqiang twice, and when she saw that he was sleeping like a dead pig, she was relieved and told the nanny to go to sleep too.
Li Lao motioned for Xiao Qiang to sit down on the sofa and began to chat with Xiao Qiang about family life. At this time, Xiaoqiang finally introduced himself, and Li Lao also knew that his name was Cao Xiaoqiang, and he no longer called this young man.
Xiaoqiang told Li Lao about his acquaintance with Li Mubai because of arms procurement, and Li Lao said thoughtfully: "Today's young people are amazing, it's amazing, the business of buying and selling arms is also so big......"
There are only four people with the nanny for lunch, and the home-cooked meals of six dishes and one soup are very delicious, Xiaoqiang praised the little nanny's superb cooking skills while eating, and made the girl named Cuicui so happy that he couldn't do it, and he was full of vegetables. After lunch, Xiaoqiang said goodbye and left, and spent the night at someone's house with a shy face.
Li Lao sent a car to send Xiao Qiang out, and the Audi with a military license plate came all the way down from the mountain, Xiao Qiang saw that there were many small villas in the mountain, and he knew in his heart that this must be the retirement place of the senior old cadres of the central government. The car dropped Xiaoqiang off at the bar and left. Xiaoqiang found the warrior he parked at the mouth of the alley and drove straight to the company.
