Chapter 17: A Visit to Old Anne
It was about three o'clock, and the sporadic light snow unconsciously turned into goose feather snow, and the road surface was ruthlessly occupied by them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoMy feet sank deep into the snow and I walked towards my residence with my upper body in my arms.
"I'm already a dead man, what are you going to do with my return?" Dion is right, my big move this time has been seen by many people, and he is still alive to say, if he goes back like this, he should be suspected.
"You go to Steve's." Spit out a hazy white mist, and felt that a lot of heat was being pumped out of my body, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Foggy leaned towards me, I thought for a moment and thought only one person, I said, "Why don't you go undercover at Steve's, I want to ........"
"No! Then you will be used by him! Before I could finish speaking, he directly interrupted me sharply, ruthlessly vetoing my idea.
"Why?"
He pouted: "Because I am a person of the Spanish scale, he is a person of the Australian scale, and they are all middle-level cadres with equal status." ”
"What do you mean? Here......... "I don't really understand their relationship.
Dion spread his hands helplessly: "It's that we are people of the same level, and we can't call each other, and we can't order each other's people." And see that there is no difference in status between the other party. This is the understanding of doctrine by people of our layer. ”
"Explain!." I'm a little anxious, after all, I have someone from Steve's same background, so I can get to know him better.
He sorted it out a little and explained to me in one breath: "Even there are three, six, and nine equal divisions in the scale, and we are internal middle-level cadres, and our understanding of internal doctrine is that there is no distinction between generations and rights for people of the same rank. So we will be mutually exclusive. ”
"So........ Do you mean that there is no unity within you at all, and there is no way he will let you in, because of your so-called doctrine? ”
"That's right. It's not complicated to say it's complicated, it's not simple to say it's simple. He sighed.
"But this is Dream City." I highlighted the current situation.
"I know, but we were all pulled out by them in the darkest moments, and we signed a contract with them, a contract! If they don't disband, we're going to dedicate our lives to it. He lowered his head and laughed at himself: "If we even deceive ourselves, then who can trust us?" ”
"That'....... There's really no way to ......." I let go of my clenched palm in disappointment.
"Don't worry, he's thinking too much about it, the mission of Dream City is too delayed, and he's already at the end of his power."
Let this be his comfort to me........
I found a reasonable reason for him to return to the team, and since Steve was the leader of the team, I would also give him an ace position, ostensibly in exchange, but in fact to prepare for the expansion of the number of people the day after tomorrow.
The next day, the operation of the alliance headquarters was really chaotic, but fortunately, Erin did a lot of measures yesterday and temporarily controlled the situation. Ryan arrived around two o'clock in the afternoon with all the advanced equipment of the laboratory, and took a trump card position in Aitosri.
In the conference room........
"Ye Bai, go back and see Old Annie, it's been so long, your apprentice is not worthy of the name." Ryan, who was about to leave, reminded me.
It's been half a year since I last left, and I haven't seen old Anne once, and I don't know what happened to him. Hearing Ryan's reminder, I decided to check it out tonight.
The natural world has long been covered with heavy snow, and the frozen and stiff road surface is covered with a thick layer of ice, and you can almost fall down the mountain with two small steps.
In front of the wooden house, he sat on a small canoe wrapped in a dark blue cotton jacket and a hat, holding a slender fishing rod, the end of which hung down on the surface of the lake with a thick layer of ice.
"Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow." I couldn't help but sigh out this line of poetry.
Unexpectedly, Old Anne snorted coldly: "Mrs. Jiang is fishing, you kid has taken the bait." ”
"I'm just here to see you, why are you so angry?" I touched my nose without a trace.
"Let's go, let's go inside." With his back to me, he sighed with an old breath, threw down the hat above his head and sat on the canoe, wearing black cotton pants in Chinese colors, and his shoes were still cloth shoes.
He landed on the ice and carried his back, leaving the next old man's back, which disappeared from my vision little by little.
The room was still so warm, with two cups of tea on the familiar coffee table. He picked up the teacup and skimmed the tea leaves, and took a sip of it gently, and when he had done all this, he seemed to realize that I was standing in the doorway covered in snow.
He looked at me, "Why don't you sit down?" ”
I was a little indescribable: "Wait until the snow on your body falls before you go in, otherwise you will dirty the ground." ”
"What's the hell with me? I didn't mind when you were a stinky boy with a cranky head. ”
In the face of the tone that old Anne taught me, I felt a little more comfortable. Shake off the snow off his body, take off his coat and sit on the sofa next to him.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" He moved a cup of tea and deliberately skimmed the tea leaves.
"It's nothing, I haven't been here for such a long time, I'm coming to see you........" I know I lied, and I don't know why I lied.
"If you have something to say, I've said it all, what's the hypocrisy with me? Is it because the adventurous tasks are over, and now the team's problems are coming one after another, and you can't be busy? "Old Anne suddenly broke what I care about the most.
The team's handling was too troublesome, and I thought that the team was handled well by Erin, and I just had to do it vigorously. But now it seems that it is not so simple. All kinds of laws were born, rules and regulations were introduced to limit us, and even fighting a war requires a reason and intervention as much as it does in the outside world. Moreover, the circulation of points is more inclined to money, and I always feel that our peace is not a good thing.
"Looks like you get the idea, too. If Dream City is premised on all sorts of unrealistic games, why advocate peace? "His experience is beyond my imagination, and even if I don't put what I think on my face, he can tell what I think by the current situation and my state.
"Yes." I confessed my doubts.
Old Anne took out a box of homemade cigarettes from her padded jacket, and after taking a pleasant breath, she said with a complicated look in her eyes: "Show you a picture, tell me what you see.........
