ACT265: A pot of old tea

The two sat speechlessly, looked at each other for a long time, and smiled together.

"You're still the same." Su Lan bowed slightly, her eyelashes fluttered, and her tone was a little helpless: "It hasn't changed at all." ”

"Really?" Ming Junwei grinned, touched the stubble, and said with emotion: "You are a little different from before." ”

"Oh? Where? Su Lan stood up, poured out the old tea and cooked new water, poured a cup for the old man, and went over to close the door.

Ming Junwei looked around, his one-eyed essence flickered, and when he saw the two walls full of display screens, he thought of something, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Radiant." ”

"Promise your good words." Su Lan smiled when she heard this, sat in the chair, stared at Ming Junwei for a long time, and sighed: "I really didn't expect to see you again, and it's like this." ”

"I was mentally prepared, I was going to look for you, but you took the lead." Ming Junwei pursed his lips, looked at the monitoring screen wall, and said helplessly: "So, I was discovered by you just here?" ”

"There's not the kind of net you think here, and if it weren't for something happening in the compound, I wouldn't have seen you." Su Lan didn't hide it, with a bit of banter in her eyes, she turned the picture back to the slightly blurred face, and said with a smile: "I just don't understand, why did you come here again?" ”

"It's hard to put into words." Ming Junwei spread his hands, his eyes swept over the wall, and found the surveillance screen of the main entrance...... No wonder he and Hou Xiong tossed at the gate for a long time that night and no one paid attention to it, it turned out that the surveillance footage in the city was here, and it was not as he thought at the beginning, there was a special security agency.

Su Lan opened the drawer in front of her, took out a box of ladies and cigarettes and handed it to him, smiling: "What are you going to do this time?" ”

"We?" Ming Junwei was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "You said those people who ran out with me?" It has nothing to do with me, it's just a way, by the way, the little young man with me was taken down by your people, give him a face, and let him live. ”

"You... I haven't seen you for three years, and as soon as you meet, you come out like this, let me say what? Su Lan felt that tonight seemed to be extraordinarily long, glanced at the bright moon outside the window, and said with a smile: "Still playing sloppy with me?" No matter what you have planned, stop for the time being, let them all come here, and let's catch up. ”

This time it was Ming Junwei's turn to be confused, pinching the slender lady's cigarette for a long time, and gradually reacted, raised his eyebrows, and asked tentatively: "What are you talking about 'them'?" ”

Su Lan glanced at him, and said angrily: "What do you mean, you are not with Jiang He and them now?" ”

Ming Junwei was dumbfounded, only sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "I'm the only one." ”

"Huh?" Su Lan frowned slightly, vaguely aware that something was wrong, and said strangely: "What happened?" ”

"It's happened a lot, and I can't understand it for a while." Ming Junwei cleared his throat, skipped irrelevant content, restrained his mood, and said, "But I did come to you, to be precise, I wanted to ask you for a favor." It's just that I never thought that the Gobi Desert would become like this, so I had no choice but to come in this way. ”

Su Lan didn't answer immediately, her slightly frowning brows stretched, she stared at him for a long time, nodded slightly, and sat up straight.

The atmosphere was a little subtle, and the two people sitting facing each other were aware of it, but they didn't know how to describe it. In terms of personal identity alone, the meeting between the two can be regarded as a reunion of old friends, although they are not as intimate as Song Yaomai and them, it seems that it should not be as weird as now...... How to say it, it's like before we met, there were a lot of words brewing in my heart, but after the veil was lifted, I found that although the people standing face to face were still the same as they were back then, the feeling between them was much weaker.

After three years of separation, when we met again, it was a few stiff and awkward dialogues, and the words that came out of our mouths were not as rich as looking at each other and smiling.

So, the two smart people reached a tacit understanding silently, skipping the slightly embarrassing gossip and going straight to the topic.

Ming Junwei pondered for a moment and said, "I came to find someone, a companion, who was kidnapped by your right-hand man, and I want to ask you to help me find her." ”

“Caroline？”

"yes, that's the girl." Ming Junwei nodded.

Su Lanxiu frowned slightly, couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "How did you run into her again?" ”

"That's a long story." Ming Junwei seemed to be smiling, and he didn't want to say this.

"Long story short." Su Lan didn't follow and insisted that he say. The night is long, so it's always good to visit and talk about the past, at least to dissolve the strangeness between each other. Moreover, Su Lan had other doubts in her heart, so naturally she couldn't just say a few words.

Ming Junwei took a puff of his cigarette, lowered his head and thought about it, and said lightly: "Our camp was served by that foreign girl, the dead died, the fleeing escaped, and the captured captured...... So I came to find someone. ”

Su Lan's face was suffocated, and she suddenly regretted asking more, and muttered, "When did it happen?" Jiang River they ......"

"Not so long ago." Ming Junwei sniffed, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "The grass on Jiang He's grave is two meters high, and it was gone three years ago. ”

Seeing Su Lan's stunned expression, Ming Junwei had mixed feelings in his heart, shook his head, and said, "That's it, I'll tell you...... Yaoyao and Qianqian are still alive, but I don't know where they are now, Xiao Wei is gone, Xiao Jin and Dongdong went to sea back then, and I don't know the specifics. ”

"How can this be..."Su Lan's eyes were a little gloomy, as if she was talking to herself, people often say that it is better to miss each other than to see each other, Su Lan felt the same way at the moment. She also thought that everyone should have lived well when they left with the people in power, relying on the big tree, at least there was no need to be displaced, who knew how many things in the world changed, and all she heard when she reunited after a long time was death and no news.

"Don't talk about this, alas..."The lady smoked a cigarette without much energy, Ming Junwei pinched off the cigarette butt, shifted the topic to Su Lan, glanced at the furnishings in the house, and chuckled: "What about you, how have you been all these years?" ”

"That's what you see." Su Lan shrugged her shoulders, leaned back in her chair, and said, "I don't know where to start, compared to others, it should be very good." ”

Ming Junwei nodded, his fingertips tapped rhythmically on the table, glanced at the photo frame on the table, and a trace of inexplicability flashed in his eyes, but it only returned to normal for a moment, and said, "This city, he made it?" ”

Su Lan said "um", but she didn't know what to say, she was silent for a while, and said, "Doctor An is not here either." ”

"I know." Ming Junwei responded casually, and seeing Su Lan's strange eyes, he hurriedly explained, "Guess." Your man killed half of our chickens and dogs for the sake of Dr. An...... It is not surprising that Dr. Ann had this ending. ”

The corners of Su Lan's eyes twitched slightly, the title of "your man" was very awkward to hear.

"Let's be serious, I'm really not here to make trouble this time." Ming Junwei grinned, pointed to his embarrassment, and said, "I just want to find my companion." ”

"I can check it out for you, and if Caroline brought it back, then I promise she's safe." Su Lan's face became serious, picked up the contact device at hand, and was about to ask for information, when she thought of something temporarily, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What about after you found your companion?" What are you going to do? ”

"Huh? Where did you come from, where did you go back? Ming Junwei spread his hands, showing the style of a homeless man.

"You're not saying that the camp is ......"

"If the old is destroyed, a new one can be built." Ming Junwei looked indifferent, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "You have been here for too long, and you have forgotten what it is like outside, right?" Haha, the world is so big, where can I go? ”

Su Lan glared at him angrily, and said, "Since the camp has been destroyed, then you can just stay here." Don't worry, including your friends, I will help you arrange, there are no walking corpses here, there is no lack of food and clothing, everything is on track. ”

"Asu, are you kidding?" Ming Junwei smiled dumbly.

"Did I ever joke with you?" Su Lan was sullen for a while, separated for too long, and almost forgot about this out-of-tune character, paused, and said patiently: "I'm serious, no matter what happened before, it's all in the past, isn't it?" Look here, isn't this the new beginning we imagined before? Junwei, I know your ability, stay, for yourself, but also for the sake of your dead companions, we can rebuild civilization, this is a new starting point. ”

Ming Junwei's face became solemn, and he could see that Su Lan was not casually speaking, but really moved his mind. Ming Junwei was afraid of this happening before, but what he was afraid of came to catch up with him...... Recalling the girl who was as cold as the moon in the past, Ming Junwei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the gold-rimmed glasses were so terrible, even a woman like Su Lan was brainwashed by him.

"Asu, don't blame me for ruining the atmosphere, how do you just say a few words, how do they sound like pyramid schemes." Ming Junwei laughed dryly twice, looking at him left and right, trying to fool the past with jokes.

Su Lan frowned, slightly displeased: "You think I'm talking nonsense?" ”

"No, no." Ming Junwei waved his hand again and again, and said perfunctorily: "What you said is very good, I understand it." Hahaha, you know, I'm used to being lazy, you guys are really good here, but it's a pity that I'm used to the idle clouds and wild cranes, and if I want to integrate into the new order, I can't do it, and I won't have to make trouble for you. ”

Su Lan obviously didn't buy this wording, frowned and looked at him for a long time, and wondered: "You are very resistant here, why?" Because of those things back then? ”

Ming Junwei took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't be fooled by playing haha, he twisted his eyebrows and groaned for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Asu, I came here for only one purpose, that is, to find someone." If you can help me, I can't thank you enough, if you can't, it's okay, I can try to understand you. As for staying, let's not talk about it anymore. ”

"Why?" Su Lan's state tonight is also a little wrong, maybe it was the conversation with Lao Yang before that affected her mood, in normal times, she would definitely not be so unrelenting.

Ming Junwei lit a cigarette, met Su Lan's puzzled gaze, and said lightly: "Asu, you are really... Is it serious? ”
