Volume 54 of the City of Dawn
Early the next morning, after having a hearty breakfast in the hall, Zhou Chuanliang arranged three trucks to transport the more than 50 children, and drove an off-road vehicle with Honeysuckle to carry Black Butterfly, Bai Yuanshan, and Ah Long, and Jin Gyro accompanied Ah Kang, Big Bear, and Er Bear to sit in the back of the truck, out of Moyunling, along the winding mountain road, towards Dawn City.
The mountains are full of wild roads, and the car is very bumpy, and it is only half of the journey in the morning.
At noon, when we arrived at a lake, the car stopped, everyone got out of the car, sat in a bamboo forest and had lunch, rested for another two hours, and then continued on our way. It wasn't until four or five o'clock in the afternoon that the convoy left this piece of Mangshan.
As soon as they got out of the mountain, everyone was shocked by the scene in the west, only to see that the sky in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain was blood-red, black smoke was billowing out, and the warship of the Presbyterian Church leaned down and leaned against the top of the snowy mountain, which was burning......
Ah Long couldn't help but say, "Is the Council of Elders really finished?" After saying that, he looked at the black butterfly.
Black Butterfly turned his gaze to Dawn City below, only to see that the boxy thousand-year-old city below the mountain was still intact, and it seemed that it had not been affected by the war of the Great Snow Mountain, but the walls of the four gates were full of black pressed soldiers, ready to resist the invasion. Looking at it from afar, the soldiers on the city walls were as small as ants. The corners of Black Butterfly's mouth smiled slightly, thinking: In the next war, I don't know how many people will die like ants, really like Ah Kang and others staying in Moyunling.
At this time, Honeysuckle said to Black Butterfly: "I see that the gate of the North City has been closed, sister, you had better contact Brother Shao, we can only send you to the road at the foot of the mountain, and you can't go any further." ”
Black Butterfly nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed Shao Hu's number, immediately connected, and first asked, "Are you okay now?" ”
Shao Hu said: "I'm fine. Are you going down the mountain? I'll bring someone to pick you up. ”
Black Butterfly said: "Brother Zhou and Sister Jin can only send us to the bottom of the mountain, you have to bring a few more cars over." ”
Shao Hu said, "Okay, I know." ”
After Black Butterfly finished calling, he nodded to Zhou Chuanliang and Honeysuckle, and drove down the mountain.
When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Zhou Chuanliang, Honeysuckle, Bai Yuanshan, and Ah Long got out of the car and went to the back, and Ah Kang and others hugged the children down one by one. The dark shadow saw a telescope under the windshield and picked it up to observe the movement at the north gate. After a while, I saw the suspension bridge at the north city gate slowly lowered, and the first two black cars came out, unable to see who was sitting inside, followed by five military trucks.
Black Butterfly was about to call Shao Hu, and the phone rang in advance. Black Butterfly took it and said, "I saw the convoy coming out of the north gate. ”
Shao Hu said: "I'm in the first one. ”
Black Butterfly hung up the phone, got out of the car and walked in front of Zhou Chuanliang and Honeysuckle, and said, "They are already here." ”
Zhou Chuanliang nodded, waved his hand to the back, and the three cars turned around and drove towards the mountains.
Honeysuckle approached and hugged the black butterfly and said, "I don't know when I will see you this farewell, so take care of my sister!" ”
Black Butterfly nodded.
Honeysuckle whispered to Black Butterfly again: "If you come to Moyunling one day, you don't have to worry if you don't see us, even if we move away, we will leave eyeliner somewhere." ”
Black Butterfly said, "I remember. ”
Honeysuckle said this last sentence: "Don't forget what I told you last night." ”
After hearing this, Black Butterfly smiled and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will take care of my affairs." ”
Next to him, Ah Kang, Big Bear, Er Xiong, and Jin Gyro also said goodbye to Ah Long and Bai Yuanshan, and waved their hands at Black Butterfly. Ah Kang smiled and said, "Sister Die, you can talk to Brother Shao in a while, we are sorry to withdraw halfway." ”
Black Butterfly shook her hand and said, "You've helped a lot. ”
Ah Kang walked among the children and said to his sister, "Xiaomei, you remember my words, and when you meet your parents, tell them that I went to the mountains, and I will take time to go home to see them later." ”
Xiaomei has no memories of the past, but she still nods.
Zhou Chuanliang, Honeysuckle, Golden Top, Akang, Da Xiong, and Er Xiong got into the car and drove away.
Black Butterfly watched their car drive away, looked back and saw Bai Yuanshan and Ah Long taking care of the children, then walked to the main road, turned on the sensor on the belt, put their hands behind their backs, and waited for a group of vehicles to drive over from the south.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy drove to a stop in front of it, and a person got out of the first black car, it was Shao Hu, who was wearing a full suit of casual clothes and beckoned to Black Butterfly.
Black Butterfly relaxed her vigilance, raised her arms to her chest and hugged it, and when Shao Hu walked in, she said with a smile: "You seem to have changed into a different person." ”
Shao Hu touched his chin and said, "It's just that I went home and shaved my face, took a shower, and changed my clothes." As he was talking, he only saw Bai Yuanshan and Ah Long taking care of the child, so he asked, "How many people are missing?" ”
Black Butterfly nodded and said, "The three of them followed into the mountain and won't come back." ”
Shao Hu sighed, turned around and waved, and more than a dozen soldiers got on and off the truck. The four of them led the children over, and the soldiers helped carry the children to the car, and then Shao Hu said to Black Butterfly and Aaron, "You two and I will sit in the same car." ”
The three got into the car, Shao Hu drove, Black Butterfly sat in the passenger seat, and Ah Long sat in the back. When the six cars in front of them all turned around and drove back, Shao Hu also started the car and said to Black Butterfly and Ah Long: "Let's follow the convoy to Dongcheng first, and then go back to my home in Xicheng when the children are handed over to their parents." During this time in Dawn, you two will stay in my house. ”
Ah Long smiled and said, "Since you have arrived at your territory, everything will be up to you." But what's on schedule tonight? I want to have a good look. ”
Shao Hu said: "I will take you to the food street to have a big meal." Then he asked Black Butterfly, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Black Butterfly thought about it, and suddenly remembered that he saw the "Whole Sheep Banquet" eaten by Zhao Sheng, Gao Yang, and Slippery Head in the video ball, so he smiled and said, "Is there any place where you can eat the 'Whole Sheep Banquet'?" ”
Ah Long immediately asked, "What is the 'Whole Sheep Banquet'?" ”
Shao Hu said: "The 'Whole Sheep Banquet' is a famous feature in our Dawn City, killing a sheep and using different parts of meat to make different dishes. I'll take you to eat tonight. There is one in the south of the city that is particularly authentic. ”
Aaron applauded. Black Butterfly said: "Ah Long, we are going to slaughter Boss Shao tonight and give him a big hemorrhage!" ”
Ah Long patted Shao Hu on the shoulder and said, "It must be!" Today is my first time in Auroville! ”
The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and Shao Hu asked Ah Long, "You have never been to Dawn City before?" ”
"Nope!" Ah Long sighed and said, "I was born in the Great Snow Mountain, I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never taken half a step out of the Great East Gate!" ”
Black Butterfly shook his head and said, "Aren't your soldiers from the Great East Gate often sneaking away to Dawn City to fool around?" Why haven't you been? ”
Ah Long said: "The soldiers of the Great East Gate often sneak into the pre-dawn period, but I am not a soldier of the Great East Gate!" Our company is stationed south of the palace! ”
Black Butterfly raised her eyebrows and said, "Alas, you are so pathetic. ”
While the three of them were chatting, the convoy had crossed the moat and entered the north gate. Black Butterfly looked back, and the suspension bridge slowly rose again, and then turned back and asked Shao Hu: "A city gate building like yours, if the Great Snow Mountain attacks, how many days can you last?" ”
Shao Hu smiled, sighed, and did not speak.
Aaron replied, "If the Elder Council dispatches a mecha force, I don't think Dawn City will last for half a day. ”
Black Butterfly asked, "Didn't those mecha troops all be wiped out by the giant god in the battle a few days ago?" ”
Ah Long said disapprerovingly: "Those are just a drop in the bucket, and the real troops are still hiding in the mountains." I don't know why I didn't make a sortie, it's weird......"
At this time, the convoy drove east along the base of the city wall, and saw that the people in the city were shopping normally, walking, and everything was as usual. Ah Long was surprised, so he asked Shao Hu: "The army is about to come to the city, why haven't you escaped yet?" ”
Shao Hu said: "Dozens of miles to the east is the sea, where to flee?" ”
Aaron pointed to the north and said, "Flee to the mountains." ”
Shao Hu shook his head and said, "The people of Dawn City have already made up their minds to die, the city is here, and the city is destroyed. ”
Aaron let out a long sigh.
Black Butterfly said: "It would be a pity if such a beautiful ancient city was destroyed by war!" ”
As he spoke, the convoy had reached the northeast corner tower, and then drove south along the road under the wall. About ten minutes later, we arrived in front of an elementary school on the west side of the road. Black Butterfly saw that the name of the school was Dongcheng District No. 39 Middle School, and more than 100 parents and dozens of policemen had gathered on the playground inside. The police rushed to maintain order, and the soldiers got out of the car and carried the children out of the car. The two cars in front also drove into the school, but Shao Hu parked the car at the door and did not move.
Black Butterfly glanced at Shao Hu and asked, "Aren't you going in?" ”
Shao Hu said: "The next work will be handed over to the city police department. I'll take you to my house to rest. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a handsome man in his thirties in a police uniform walking from the school and waving at them. Black Butterfly asked Shao Hu, "Who is he?" ”
Shao Hu said: "Captain Shi of the Beicheng Branch. ”
Black Butterfly asked again, "What's your name?" ”
Shao Hu said: "Shi Dehou. ”
Black Butterfly asked again, "He's your friend." ”
Shao Hu nodded and hummed.
At this time, Shi Dehou walked closer, and Black Butterfly rolled down the window. Shi Dehou smiled and said to Shao Hu: "If you don't go in, who will the parents thank for a while?" ”
Shao Hu said: "Police." Pointing to Black Butterfly and Aaron, "I'll send them home to rest." By the way, her name is Black Butterfly, and his name is Ah Long, both of whom have contributed to this operation. If there is a bonus, just give it to them. ”
"Of course there is." Shi Dehou smiled, and shook hands with Black Butterfly and Ah Long respectively as he spoke, "I'll catch the wind with you at night." ”
The trio nodded and drove away.
After driving along the city wall for five minutes, I got on the overpass at the east gate, went straight to the south, until I reached the southeast corner tower, and then turned west. It was already evening, the western firelight swallowed up the setting sun, and a flock of crows in the city flew south over the swamp and towards the primeval forest.
Shao Hu said: "Even the birds know that the catastrophe is coming, and they go their separate ways. ”
Aaron said, "The three of us are big fools. ”
Black Butterfly didn't speak, looking through the car window at the bustling southern city......
