Chapter 707: Goodbye and Farewell Time flies
After Tony left, the captain didn't even continue his previous plan and went to talk to Zhou Yi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He originally wanted to blame Zhou Yi for his methods in ending the war, the kind of behavior of destroying hundreds of planes in an instant, not only causing hundreds of billions of economic losses to the United States, but also causing heavy casualties to those expensive pilots.
You must know that even in the most developed country of the United States, it is not easy to train a qualified pilot. Especially now, this is even worse for the United States. In the midst of this attack, the long air defense line of the United States could not find a few suitable pilots to complete the scheduled cruise mission, which is really ridiculous. And the most critical problem is that they can't pull the retired pilots back from those civil aviation companies to deal with the current predicament. In doing so, it will only add another layer of shame to the already shameful United States.
Therefore, he hit the idea on Zhou Yi. Even if this guy can't be allowed to personally maintain the safety of the airspace in the United States out of guilt, with the strong strength of Huiyao City, it shouldn't be a problem to secondment one hundred and eighty excellent pilots.
That was supposed to be a good thing, a good thing to ease the pressure on the United States right now. However, at this moment, the captain is in no mood to continue at all.
That's how Tony broke away from the Avengers and threw himself into the great cause he was now undertaking. It was something he hadn't thought of from the beginning. Moreover, he was not able to hold any fingers at Tony on the subject. Because if his business succeeds, then his role in this country will be greater than the role of all the Avengers combined.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't have stopped him, and he wasn't qualified to stop him. However, the thought of having such a friend and rival by his side made the captain feel uncomfortable.
This made him appear a little distraught, so that he lost his interest. Naturally, such a mentality is not up to the task of a negotiation. So he could only sigh and come to a car parked on the side of the street, open the door and sit in the passenger seat.
At this time, there was a black-haired man reading a newspaper in the main driver's seat, and when he heard the movement around him, he immediately put down the newspaper in his hand, and then asked the captain.
"What, are your negotiations going well? It's only been less than half an hour, or have you been brought up directly? ”
"There was a little accident, and my heart is a little messed up now, and I am not suitable for any negotiation work."
"It's not like you, man. I thought that someone like you, who had experienced so many big scenes, should have reached the point where he was not surprised by everything! ”
Shaking his head, the black-haired man laughed. At the same time, he started the car and turned into the traffic.
"I'm not a robot, and I can be indifferent to anything. And the situation I'm experiencing right now is a completely unexpected thing even for me. Seriously, I'm really complicated inside right now, feeling everything. ”
Under normal circumstances, the captain does not confide in his heart at will. On the one hand, seventy years of slumber made him incompatible with the current era, and on the other hand, because as a leader, it is undoubtedly a problematic thing to say the voice in his heart. It's easy for someone to peek into his heart, and that would be a huge loss to his team.
However, the person in front of him is an exception. Because for as long as the captain can remember, the person next to him is his closest friend. Nothing to say, nothing to talk about, and even to say that if it weren't for their different genders, they would have gone and registered their marriage a long time ago.
This is by no means empty talk, because they are very special beings to each other. So almost immediately, the dark-haired man comforted him.
"Steve, get your spirits up. If you can't cheer yourself up, those people will probably have no fighting spirit. You know, you're their backbone. ”
"I know, I know. It's just that there are times when I need a little respite. The burden was getting heavier and heavier, and I began to wonder if I could pick it up. You know, judging from the current situation, I am not doing well, and it can even be said that it is bad. ”
"But no one can deny your efforts, can they?" Even though the black-haired man was driving a car, he didn't forget to care about his friends and tried hard to enlighten him. "Listen, Steve. You've done enough of these things. It's just that you can't live up to your expectations. And that doesn't have much to do with you, because that kind of thing itself is not something you and your team can handle. ”
"Just like the war at the beginning, even with the efforts of our Roaring Commandos, do you think we would have succeeded without a frontal offensive by the Allied forces? We are like a reef under the waves, and if there are many of them, maybe we can withstand the surging floods. If it's very little, then it is already a victory to be able to guarantee our persistence, isn't it? ”
"There's always a way to put me in a better mood, Bucky. If you're a woman, I mean if. Maybe we should change our way of life. ”
After listening to Bucky's enlightenment, the captain, who was in a much better mood, began to say to Bucky in a mocking tone. Hearing his words, the black-haired Bucky immediately shook his hand, and although his mechanical arm shouldn't have such a movement, he still reacted like this.
"Please, Steve. Can you not say such a terrible thing casually. Especially if I'm still driving. ”
"I mean really, after all, we grew up as brothers. Moreover, when it comes to experience, I am afraid that there is no other person in this world who can have the same background of the times as we do. ”
"Come on, you!" Rolling his eyes, a smile suddenly appeared on Bucky's cold face. "I also want to see the enthusiasm of girls in this era. So, if you change your hobby, try someone else, like your new co-operator, the guy named Pete. ”
"Jennifer would tear me up raw, and even if she didn't, Wanda would have trapped me in some gay magazine. So, forget it. ”
Shaking his head, he ended his teasing. The captain fell silent again. At the same time, his face became silent.
Seeing this change in him, Bucky shook his head and asked.
"So where are you going next? Go back, or go to that place? ”
The question silenced the team for a long time. And Bucky didn't mean to interrupt him, he just drove the car, waiting for the moment of his response. And it was only later that the captain quietly clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"Bucky, get me to that place. I thought, that's where I'm supposed to be. ”
"Look away, Steve. No one can solve this kind of thing, and I'm afraid that even the so-called gods can't do anything about it. ”
Patting the captain on the shoulder, Bucky turned around and drove the car to another place.
Today is a difficult day for the captain. It's not because he has to negotiate with Zhou Yi, that kind of thing won't make him show this kind of appearance. It wasn't because of Tony's departure, it was unplanned. And this difficulty, obviously, was planned. Moreover, it is a private matter that belongs to the captain.
He needed to say goodbye to an old friend, an old friend who was very important to him. And that wasn't easy for him. In fact, Bucky knew very well that the uncharacteristically hippie smiling faces of the previous captain were just masks he hung outside. The truth is that his heart is so uneasy and at a loss. It is even said that it may take him great courage to face this matter.
As a best friend, he was supposed to persuade him and give him a little advice. But it seems that in this kind of thing, he doesn't have much force. So all he can do is give the captain a space to think. Of course, in the end, the captain made a decision, a decision that he thought should be made.
The car drove at a high speed, and soon came to a high-level hospital in Huiyao City. And as soon as he got out of the car, the captain eagerly took the lilies that Bucky had prepared for him and rushed to a special ward.
There were only an old woman lying quietly on the bed as if she were asleep, and a blonde woman with eyes open and weeping quietly. As if surprised by the appearance of the captain, the woman was stunned at first, and then suddenly stood up as if she had come to her senses. Said to the captain.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were back. Auntie, she still has some time, and I think she will be glad to have you with her in this last time. ”
With that, the blonde woman quietly withdrew. And the captain put down the lily in his hand without saying a word, and then sat down quietly in front of the old woman, while quietly holding her wrinkled palm.
Seventy years ago, they used to hold each other like this. I just didn't expect that seventy years later, they would recreate everything in this way, in this completely different way.
The sense of detachment from this era and the unspeakable heartache that has always existed in the captain made him just stare at the old woman in front of him silently. Until she quietly woke up.
Seeing the presence of the captain, the old woman was not too surprised. She only smiled slightly before speaking to the captain.
"God is still good for me after all, so that I can still look at you at the end of my life, Steve!"
"I'm sorry, Peggy. We weren't supposed to be like this, we were supposed to lie side by side, accepting this last moment together. ”
Raising the old woman's hand, the captain quietly kissed the back of her hand. That was what he should have done many years ago, and only now did he have the opportunity to do so. It was already too late, for either of them. This kind of madness and absurdity of the impermanence of the world made the captain really feel that fate had really played a huge joke on him.
Just, this time. The old woman did not agree with his words, but quietly raised her hand and touched the side of his face.
"You know, Steve. I'm not complaining about this. What I miss most now is your promise to me, do you remember? ”
"Remember, I owe you a dance. Saturday, Stuk Club, see you there. ”
In a word, the captain was already in tears. He was well aware that the commitment was going to be renewed again, and that it would be permanent. And this cruel reality was enough to make his old heart feel an indescribable tingle. However, this is not the case for the old woman.
"That's enough, Steve. That's enough! ”
The smile was still on her face, but her hand had slipped down quietly. Time took away the last of her strength, but it left her with the best memories. This is fortunate and unfortunate. At least, for the captain, that's what it looks like. (To be continued.) )
