Chapter 161: Homecoming (2)
Ma Tao's originally happy face immediately dimmed, looked at the friends next to him and then at his sister, and barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Let's go over there and talk."
"What's wrong? Mysterious and mysterious? ”
My sister looked at Ma Tao strangely, and then was dragged by Ma Tao to the edge of the pool at the entrance of the village.
Gao Han and the others wisely did not follow, because the three of them knew what Ma Tao was going to tell her sister about.
At this time, the villagers who had gathered at the entrance of the village had almost dispersed, and almost all of the rest were pointing around the three chariots, and some children were running around the chariots.
On the edge of the pool, Ma Tao told his sister about Su Lanxi, from their acquaintance to acquaintance, and then to the later co-life and death, without reservation, his relationship with Su Lanxi is not only a lover who is more in love than Jin Jian, but also a teammate who depends on each other in life and death, and finally told his sister about his plan to bury Su Lanxi in Naduo Village.
Looking at Ma Tao on the edge of the pool and Sister Ma Tao, whose expression changed from shock to tears to shock, Xiao Jinzi suddenly felt a little emotional.
"It seems that Brother Tao and her sister should be the closest, otherwise Brother Tao wouldn't be the first to tell his sister, you say, why don't I have a sister?"
While waiting for Ma Tao, the little gold who looked at the scenery sighed.
"Ma Tao should be afraid of his father's reproach, I remember Brother Tao said that his father seems to be a very fierce and strict person."
An Ruo also looked at the two people who were talking and replied.
"What? Do you really want to have a sister? I have a sister who will take care of a lot of things."
Gao Han smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinzi thoughtfully.
"It's better to be free."
Being looked at by Gao Han like this, Xiao Jinzi's skin tightened, and then he thought that he really had a sister by his side, and she was also a violent royal sister, so she quickly waved her hand and terminated Gao Han's kindness.
An Ruo on the side pursed his lips and smiled at this.
"Look, you said you wanted to have a sister"
Gao Han didn't intend to stop there, and continued to make fun of it.
Xiao Jinzi didn't dare to squeak, for fear that this hot sister would admit it, this eldest sister's force was off the charts, and the two of them were enough to choke, and if they really wanted to become their own sisters, where would they have a good life in the future, so they pretended to start to take it seriously to see the movements of Ma Tao and his sister opposite.
After Ma Tao finished describing the incident between himself and Su Lanxi, he briefly talked about his friends, but they were all brought in a few words.
Looking at her sad sister who was in tears in front of her and listened to it, Ma Tao stopped talking, waiting for her sister to digest the real story that ordinary people can't hear.
"There is such an infatuated and strong girl in this world, little V, can you take my sister to see her?"
My sister, who had been busy wiping her tears, wiped the tears from her face and said with red and swollen eyes.
"She's on our tank, already stored in a cryo-sealed cabin."
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he looked at the chariot and saw that the three chariots had been surrounded by the villagers, and some children were running around several chariots.
"Let's wait until we get home."
My sister also saw such a scene and knew that this was not the time, although she had some regrets in her heart, she still persuaded her.
Ma Tao nodded, and it could only be like this.
"Let's go, I'll take you home, my father doesn't know you're back."
Wiping away her tears again, her sister took one of Ma Tao's hands, and the two began to walk back.
"It's over"
Xiao Jinzi saw that their sister and brother turned around, thinking that Ma Tao should have finished everything, and pulled An Ruo back to the jeep.
"Why are you going?"
Gao Han opened his mouth to stop him.
"Get in the car? Is it possible to walk to Ma Tao's house? ”
Xiao Jinzi led An Ruogang to turn around, and before he had walked a few steps towards the jeep, he heard Gao Han's shout and asked suspiciously.
"Leave the jeep, An Ruo gets into my car, you go to drive Ma Tao's tank"
Gao Han sighed, he really convinced this kid, and he didn't have any eyesight at all.
"Why?"
Xiao Jinzi blinked, not understanding what Gao Han meant by this move.
"I see"
An Ruo suddenly realized, tugged at the little gold's clothes and said, "Naturally, it's because your jeep is convenient to get on, hey, don't ask, just do what Sister Han said."
As she spoke, Sister An Ruohan broke free of Xiao Jinzi, held her hand and pushed him towards Ma Tao's 01 tank.
Xiao Jinzi still didn't understand what the inconvenience of getting on the car had to do with his jeep, but he still followed Gao Han's advice and climbed the body of the 01 tank.
However, in the eyes of so many people who envy and worship, climbing on a tank is also a particularly glorious thing, especially children, who simply regard Xiao Jin as a hero, and almost ask for an autograph.
"The jeep is still empty"
After Ma Tao's sister and brother came over, Gao Han stretched out his hand and pointed to the No. 2 jeep and said.
I have to say that the woman is careful, Ma Tao understood in an instant, opened the door of the jeep and asked his sister to get in the car.
This is the first time Ma Tao's sister has taken a chariot, and she is still a little restrained in the co-pilot's seat, and she doesn't dare to move anything, as if she is afraid of breaking the things in the car.
"It's okay sister, this car is sturdy."
Seeing this, Ma Tao said.
My sister snorted, but still sat there very formally, just looking at the equipment and buttons in the car with her eyes.
Ma Tao knew what kind of character his sister was, so he didn't say much, closed the car door and said to Gao Han and An Ruo, who were still standing outside, "Let's get in the car"
When he saw An Ruo, Ma Tao said, "Thank you for me, little gold"
"I hear you"
Who knows, Ma Tao's watch immediately remembered Xiao Jinzi's voice, it turned out that his communication function had not been turned off, and it was not until this time that this stunned boy understood why Gao Han let him drive the No. 1 tank.
Let Ma Tao's sister climb the tank car is not to say whether it looks good or not, and she is not familiar with the structure inside the tank car, and it is easy to slip and fall when she climbs up and down, unlike a jeep, which is clear at a glance when you open the door.
Ma Tao didn't care about his watch, nor did he say anything about not seeing people, if it wasn't closed, it wouldn't be closed, and Ma Tao believed that they wouldn't eavesdrop, and this trust was built on the test again and again, especially after Roque's test.
Under the eyes of the villagers, the three chariots started up again, and drove at a low speed towards the only chariot supply point in the village, although it was a supply point that had not been replenished by chariots for many years.
"Little V, this kid is really good"
A villager sighed at the excellence of this chariot.
"See? That's your little Uncle V, isn't it? ”
Another villager pointed to the chariot that had gone away and said to a few children, who looked at the chariot stupidly, but did not speak, and each child's eyes sparkled with little stars.
In the 02 chariot, Ma Tao drove intently, and the speed was very slow, first, because it was already very close to home, and second, there were many people in the village, and it was meaningless to drive fast.
Ma Tao entered from the main gate of the supply point and did not take the side door, because the first one from the main gate will pass by his father's repair shop, although this father is not Ma Tao's real father, and because he is a hunter, the relationship has not been particularly close, but after all, this is Ma Tao's only two relatives in this world, besides, Ma Tao also secretly swore that he would take good care of them on behalf of the original owner of this body, Xiao V.
In fact, this tank supply point has long been considered dead in name, although it can still replenish armor pieces and ammunition, but it is nothing more, and it is the only place where it can be linked to the tank, and the rest of the place is either empty, or it is used for other businesses.
In Ma Tao's impression, there is a property storage office here, which is personal, mainly to help keep some things that he thinks are valuable, and collect a few small money to make ends meet, and then there is a waste iron scrap processing plant behind this, when he was a child, Xiao V and other friends often played there, and the area was not small.
Entering the main gate of the chariot supply point, Ma Tao stopped the car, and on the display screen in the car, the middle-aged man in a blue overalls was busy in front of his machine tool, it was his father, Xiao V's father.
The sound of the machine tool running is very loud, the father did not notice that there is a vehicle coming in, and then seriously driving something, in the impression of Xiao V, the father is such a person, even if there will be a few chariots in the village for ten years, but he is still busy with these meaningless things every day, if it is not for the fact that there are still some agricultural machinery in the village or something that needs to be repaired by the father who understands the mechanical principle, his family is estimated to have been hungry for several years.
The father in front of him is still the same, and he has not changed anything, and the sister in the car looked at Ma Tao and said, "I'll tell him"
As he spoke, he was about to get out of the car, but he didn't know how to open the door.
"No sister, I'll drive over"
Ma Tao started the chariot again and slowly approached his father's repair shop.
The appearance of the three tanks shocked everyone at the supply point, especially the man in the item storage area, who struck at the other young man who was asleep with the armored ammunition for the tanks.
The young man opened his eyes in a daze, and wanted to get angry, but when he saw him staring at his eyes with an incredulous stunned look, he looked up suspiciously, and then he also had a ghostly expression, with a big mouth open, his eyes bulging, ten times more exaggerated than his expression, and he stumbled out three words after a while, "Battle... Chariots"
Ma Tao parked the chariot directly at his father's repair shop.
The three chariots were parked together, both in size and conspicuousness, and the father who was operating the machine noticed a huge shadow approaching little by little, stretched out his hand to pause the machine first, and then looked up, his eyes were surprised for a moment and then regained calm.
What surprised him was the jeep in front of him, but then he saw another tank behind the jeep, the green light tank chariot he was all too familiar with, because his son had found this chariot before.
"What? Why are you coming back? ”
Facing the green light tank in the middle, Ma Tao's father put down what he was holding without being salty.
The jeep door in front of him opened, and Ma Tao, who was a little nervous, got out of the car first, and then the co-pilot's door also opened, and Ma Tao's sister also followed, and then, a man and two women walked down from the other two cars.
"Dad"
When this word of heavy desire was spoken, Ma Tao felt that it was not as awkward as before.
"I didn't expect Brother Tao to be so afraid of him."
Xiao Jinzi stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and said to An Ruo on the side.
"People call respect good, how can you be like you, you like your own character"
Gao Han on the side was completely speechless for this kid who didn't put his father in his eyes again.
"Father, Xiao V came to see you, and he finally came back"
Ma Tao's sister hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere of the two fathers and sons.
"yes, I'm just coming back to see you, just leave you some money"
Ma Tao also had a smile on his face and hurriedly said.
"Oh? Are you going to give me some pocket money, it's funny, how much are you going to give me? ”
Ma Tao's father looked at Ma Tao and his friends behind him, and his tone was still not polite, very stubborn.
Ma Tao hurriedly reached out and took out the money bag of less than 200G left before from his pocket and handed it to his father.
At this time, there were already many people around looking at them, and when they saw Ma Tao take out the bag of G, they were all very envious.
You know, Naduo is a very poor small village, in order to escape Noah's massacre, Naduo chose a remote location, sparsely populated, and few caravans and wandering warriors can come here, and the material does not circulate can not prosper, so the life here is very simple, and it is also very monotonous, and the weapons are even more rudimentary, sticks, fists, crossbow arrows, and the best weapons are one-time consumables such as grenades and fire bottles, but, No one would do this kind of thing to kill giant ants or killer insects with a grenade that is less than two Gs, and the only advantage of that is that it is quite safe here, and in Ma Tao's memory, there has never been a time when a monster has attacked it.
"Your shortcoming is complacency, give me these when you become a recognized warrior"
Ma Tao's father looked at the money bag, he didn't feel cold at all, he was still lukewarm.
"Father, I'm already a recognized warrior"
Ma Tao thought about what he had already experienced, and felt that he should be a qualified warrior now.
"Yes, Xiao V has endured a lot of hardships outside over the years, and has done a lot of good things, it is said that in Seoul, far away, someone erected a statue for him."
Ma Tao's sister said again.
"You see? Or did he say it himself? ”
Ma Tao's father glared at her, and Ma Tao's sister lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak anymore.
"Uncle, my brother won't lie to anyone again, Seoul does have a sculpture of him, and I can testify to him"
Xiao Jinzi, who had listened to it for a long time, couldn't listen to it anymore, the middle-aged man in front of him was Ma Tao's father, but he was not his father, so he immediately spoke.
"You?"
Ma Tao's father looked at the eighteen-year-old boy suspiciously, and anyone could see the suspicion in his eyes.
"You don't have to believe me, my dad is a member of the Seoul committee, I am his son, if you still don't believe me, we can use the fax device to send back to Seoul now to see if the sculpture is my brother Tao."
Xiao Jinzi didn't care about that, he directly revealed his identity, but after glancing left and right, the people around him still had the same expressions, and immediately remembered that the people here didn't even know where Seoul was, how could they know what the committee member was.
"Alright, little gold"
Ma Tao glanced back at him and didn't blame him.
Ma Tao's father didn't squeak, just stood there and looked at the son in front of him, without even blinking his eyes, Ma Tao didn't blink his eyes, anyway, these are true, he really didn't lie.
"That's... Father, little V, he still has friends, I'll take them home first"
The elder sister looked at the father and son, who would not let anyone, reach out and pull the sleeve of Ma Tao's clothes, and stood between the two of them.
"I still have to work, don't bother me with my work"
Ma Tao's father glanced at her, then turned around and turned on the machine tool in front of him, and the noisy sound of the machine sounded again.
"Let's go, I'll take you home, my sister will make you something to eat, just leave the car here"
Ma Tao's sister pulled Ma Tao, and then stretched out her hand to welcome her brother's friends back.
Ma Tao's father, who was still working seriously, quietly glanced at Ma Tao, who had gone away, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, but there were still some other feelings in it.
"You, you really touched me, understand?"
No one heard Ma Tao's father's words, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was talking to an old friend, and after speaking, he continued to control the machine tool and things.
Ma Tao's home is opposite his father's repair shop, you need to go up a few steps, and then go to the second floor, which is also the only second floor of the entire supply point, which used to be used to store things, but was later abandoned, and then Ma Tao's father sorted out and changed it into a place for people to live, and then up, it is Ma Tao's room, in fact, it is not a room, it is a small house built on the ceiling on the second floor, the area is only about eleven or twelve square meters, but after all, it is a house.
Just went up to the second floor, a small flying robot rushed over, suspended in the air two or three meters high from everyone, as if observing these uninvited guests, and then, a rusty mechanical cat also ran out, and after seeing Ma Tao's sister, there was a lazy jump to a cabinet to star, shining red eyes also stared at these people who came upstairs.
These two little things startled Gao Han and An Ruo, who had just come up, and thought that some of Noah's minions secretly followed, and almost took out the weapons on their bodies to give these two things, but fortunately, Ma Tao reached out in time to stop them, because Ma Tao knew that these two mechanical things were his sister's pets.
"Sorry to scare you"
My sister stepped forward and waved at the two little toys, and the flying machine suspended in the air flew away, and the rusty mechanical cat also turned its head to the other side, not paying attention to their every move.
"Holy! This... This thing... This ......"
Xiao Jinzi was stunned when he saw these two things, and he didn't react until now, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the two intelligent micromachines and said that the words of surprise were not good.
"Don't worry, they won't attack humans, and they won't stare at you anymore, you guys take a look upstairs first, I'll go out to buy some food, what do you want to find, just ask Xiao V"
Ma Tao's sister smiled at everyone, stretched out her hand to signal him to take care of his friends, and only then turned around and went downstairs after seeing Ma Tao nodding.
"Tao... Brother Tao ......"
Little Gold also pointed at the mechanical cat and the flying machine that had stopped in the corner of the room, and opened her mouth wide.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't they just two species of intelligent machines? As for all the fuss? ”
Ma Tao glanced back at the robot cat and the flying machine, and didn't think there was anything wrong, it was still the same as when he left, especially the mechanical cat, which didn't seem to have even a little more rust, Ma Tao still remembered the scene when he was pointed at the head by a gun stretched out from behind this Xiaodong as soon as he woke up.
"Oops! No! ”
Xiao Jinzi stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and then said, "Don't you think it's strange for these two things to appear next to us?" ”
"Strange? What's so strange? ”
Ma Tao didn't think there was anything strange about this.
However, Gao Han frowned his willow eyebrows slightly, vaguely as if he had thought of something, as for An Ruo, he looked confused.
Xiao Jinzi glanced at them, especially Ma Tao, and then said, "You forgot? In Pat Harbour, the mysterious man who jumped off the building"
"I remember."
Ma Tao nodded, at that time they went to look for Gao Han, but they didn't expect to see a strange man on the top floor.
Seeing that Ma Tao hadn't reacted yet, Xiao Jinzi pointed to the two little things behind him and said eagerly, "You forgot, there is also a little robot that can fly next to that man."
Xiao Jinzi reminded him, Ma Tao nodded again, and said in his heart What about this.
"You have two ...... here"
Xiao Jinzi really didn't know how to explain to Ma Tao, and the more he talked, the more unclear he became.
"You're saying it's scarce, aren't you?"
Gao Han finally spoke, Xiao Jinzi slapped his face, and he didn't know what to say happily.
Scarce?
These two words made Ma Tao also fall into a kind of contemplation.
Yes, I haven't noticed this problem all along, and I've always thought that these two little things should be in my home, just as common as tables, chairs and benches, but now these tables, chairs and benches at home have become abnormal, and they have become very rare, which makes it difficult to understand.
has experienced so many things, except for that mysterious person, Ma Tao has really never seen anyone with the existence of such an intelligent machine around him, what does this mean?
How the hell did these two things come about?
They won't be made by Noah, so who made it?
Why are these two things the only ones in your home?
If memory serves, in Ma Tao's memory, these two little things never left this room again.
"Brother Tao, you are really getting more and more incomprehensible"
Xiao Jinzi stared at Ma Tao for a long time and said.
