Chapter 5 The Forester of the Clay Zone
Europe, Germany.
Frankfurt am Main.
Clay Street in the Clay District.
It's a mature, middle-class neighborhood of single-family, two-storey homes laid out like concentric scallops spreading outward. Germany's greenery is excellent, especially in this neighbourhood that is far from the city centre. Perennial trees act as a boundary between houses, one-third of homes have outdoor pools, and the curved houses seem to have been built in the middle of a jungle.
The boundless courtyard blends with the trees and lawns, and to the south of the community there is a large expanse of lush temperate forest.
A dark Mercedes van drove down the streets of the neighborhood, leaning over at a slow pace.
Driving was a young Chinese man named Zhang Tan, dressed in a white shirt with a lean head. In the passenger seat is a young Chinese woman wearing a dark windbreaker, long hair shawl, and sunglasses, looking at a delicate face that looks very much like a star, Zhang Tan's sister Zhang Xue.
The presence of the two Chinese in this local neighborhood is a little strange, but they drive in expensive business vehicles, and they are well-dressed and do not look like budget travelers. At a glance, the local residents quickly classified them as "buyers" and "rich people".
For the wealthy, anywhere is welcome.
【Bischofsweg 40, 60598 Frankfurt am Main】
"Slow down, slow down...... Stop! The woman with the A4 paper got out of the car and looked left and right, analyzed it, and felt a little withdrawn in her heart. Brother, we won't be deceived, right? It's 39 here, 41 there, where is 40? There must be something wrong with falsifying registration information like this...... Why don't we go back first? ”
"This way." The man driving the car pointed to the woods behind the two houses, "See?" There is a dirt road that does not look obvious. The car stopped here and we walked over, and if nothing else, the registered address should be here. ”
The man got out of the car, locked the car, and walked in that direction first.
The woman looked at her shiny leather shoes and Tianke's sandy dirt road, "Hey, Zhang Tan, you wait for me." ”
gritted his teeth and chased after him.
After walking along the road for two or three minutes, I saw a lonely white wooden house in the middle of the woods, hidden in the long shade of the trees, which looked particularly eerie.
The woman was frightened just by following her brother. She looked down at her phone and found that she couldn't even find the shadow of the cottage on Google's satellite map, which was even more creepy. "It's scary, it's ...... A cabin in the woods? ”
"Live, live, live in such a remote place, there can't really be ghosts, right? A group of stupid tourists went in without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and then they were hacked to death one by one, as is the case in the movie. ”
"Where the hell did you come from...... All make you watch less horror movies. Zhang Tan said without replying.
Even if there are ghosts, is it really your brother a vegetarian?
"In the past, the mountains and forests of Europe generally had the position of forest keeper, responsible for poaching, logging, wild animal attacks, wildfires and other dangers, and their houses were usually built in the woods far from the community. But this is different, this woods are sandwiched between the city and South Isenburg, and they have long been a familiar land, with many people in the woods sooner or later, and can be developed into new communities at any time.
Don't look like a forest here, in fact, the trees have been screened and transformed, and so is the grass. On the back is the horticultural center, east and west is a blue-collar community, and a short drive south from here is the popular shop Oberschweinstiege, which is surrounded by a lake on three sides and has a beautiful view. ”
"So what we're looking for today is the forester?" Zhang Xue followed the analysis and came to such a conclusion.
Well, if it's a mysterious forest keeper, it seems like a good fit.
“…… No, light snow. What I want to say is that there is no need for the position of forest ranger near the city for a long time, and the person we are looking for is just renting a forest ranger's house. Zhang Tan said without replying.
"Brother...... Do you think I'm stupid? Zhang Xue asked hesitantly.
She held her mobile phone in her hand to record, and dared to say that she would sue her father.
"Hmm," Zhang Tan struggled between telling the truth and his desire to survive, and pointed his hand forward.
"We seem to have arrived."
*****
"Da-da." Slender fingers tapped twice on the door of the wooden house.
Zhang Xue tidied up her clothes and returned to the appearance of a lady before, and the egg-shaped sunglasses that covered her eyes made her even more cold.
The elder brother Zhang Tan stood at the foot of the steps, his eyes quickly observing the surrounding environment.
If there was one thing that impressed him most about the cabin, it was the neatness – the neatness of it. Everything was placed "where it should be", and the lawn around the house was mowed to the same height and abruptly stopped in front of the woods, and the "boundary" of the lawn was as straight as if it had been measured with a ruler.
If you look further, it's no coincidence that everything is placed in a half, a third, and 0.618 (golden ratio).
Zhang Tan took two more steps to the side, and saw a hardened road behind the house leading to the depths of the woods, which should be Route 3 through the woods. There is also a semi-open wooden shed at the back of the house, which contains some car repair tools and a few tires.
This fits well with the identity of the homeowner's truck driver...... It's just that the IVECO truck mentioned in the information is missing.
……
At this time, he heard someone stepping on the clattering wooden floor walking towards the door, Zhang Tan hurriedly stood back in place, Zhang Xue also quietly gestured to him with a "look at me" gesture, and then stood solemnly in front of the door.
The door was opened with a brush, and out of it came a big man...... No, Fat Guy? The Zhang Tan brothers and sisters were shocked by the appearance of the person who opened the door, how to describe it......
This is clearly the yellow-skinned version of O'Neal, a yellow-skinned shark with a height of 199 and a weight of 299!
You say fat, it's not just fat, the muscles on the arms hold up the sleeves bulging; But if you want to be strong, the belly that can't be seen directly simply ruins everything......
And that face is too foul - no, it's not very handsome, it just looks very upright!
The body is fat like a wine barrel, but there is no fat on the face. The complexion is slightly dark, the eye sockets are slightly sunken, the eyebrows are thick and the eyes are big, the nose is like a gall, the face shape of the Chinese character, and the jaw bone is narrowed...... Hiss, this face, Zhang Xue gasped when she looked at it!
She is also a quasi-professional in the film and television industry, if this face is placed in China, the little fresh meat will simply have no way to live.
To frown is to worry about the country and the people, and to stare is to deter Xiaoxiao! In any domestic drama, no acting skills can support a big drama.
*****
"Hello, I, we are embassy staff, there are some things that need your cooperation to investigate." After staring at the "strong fat" who came out for several seconds, Zhang Xue came to her senses and stammered to identify herself.
After saying that, there is a little person rolling all over the ground in my heart, which is not cool at all! I've been preparing for so long, why did I break the power in one second? It's all fake!
“Was kann ich für Sie tun, Madam?” This reaction is "fat", but I have seen a lot, and I don't care about her little gaffe. looked at Zhang Xue lazily, and spit out a bird language politely and standardly.
"Huh? You, what do you say? "Zhang Xueden panicked, I didn't speak a good foreign language, I didn't understand anything except the last Madham." Wait, Can... can you… speak… British, British lawyer? ”
Zhang Xue was so ashamed that she almost wanted to explode on the spot!
I'm sorry English teacher, I'm sorry to throw you abroad. Zhang Tan, who was standing behind her, also wanted to sever the relationship between brother and sister, but if she went home like that, she would be killed...... can only remind Zhang Xue in a whisper, "He speaks German, ask you something?" ”
"How can I understand German! It's amazing to go abroad, why don't good Chinese speak Chinese! Zhang Xue was annoyed and angry.
"So...... The staff of the embassy? Yellow-skinned O'Neill asked rhetorically.
The meaning is obvious, you say you are from the embassy, then how can you not understand German?
When he asked this, Zhang Xue was not shy, and the corresponding sense of confrontation soared. "Humph! What's wrong with not speaking German? You can't be a diplomat without speaking German? Zhang Xue proudly shook the collar of her trench coat, "Diplomats pay attention to multi-faceted talents, and language is only one of the small aspects, very small, almost negligible." ”
"Oh, so I'm going to ask next, what kind of talent do you have?" "Fat" asked lazily with squinted eyes.
Zhang Xue felt that if she had high blood pressure and heart disease, she could consider lying down and blackmailing him now!
What about the combat elite who spoke so angrily in both tone and tone?
The voice told him that this person had participated in more than 150 battles and killed more than 100,000 targets, all of which were fake, right?
So fat? Still so lazy?
She looked at her brother Zhang Tan behind her, a real elite: lean short hair, questioning eyes, meticulous dress, straight back, unpretentious six-pack abs, strong sense of support and security.
Look at the fake elite in front of you: chaotic long hair, decadent eyes, sloppy clothing, curved back, bewitching abs, the smell of not taking a shower for a few days, and ungentlemanly performance.
It's clear who the real elite is.
In the face of this kind of guy, it seems that she doesn't need to be polite, she simply raised her head and said, "My talent is ...... My dad is the deputy minister! ”
And for good reason.
"I can't mess with it, I can't afford to mess with it, those two please come in." The fat and lazy simply turned their heads and left first as respect.
Zhang Tan behind him was so angry that he wanted to rush up and plug his sister's mouth! Our people on the diplomatic front have been fighting to eliminate discrimination and prejudice, but we didn't expect that the enemy has been hiding inside us all along.
He made up his mind to go back to give Zhang Xue a memorable lesson, so that she knew that his father was not only a daughter slave, but also a principled side...... I hope my father will stick to his principles.
Zhang Xue, who didn't know it, made a triumphant "OK" gesture to him when she entered the door, which means......
That's it, look how good I am.
