Chapter Twenty-Eight: Chen Tianxing
"I'll rub, what's the matter with you kid?" Seeing this abnormal scene, Xiao Zhang shouted, jumped over and grabbed my wrist, and when footsteps started, several heavily armed guys pushed the door and walked in, asking us what was going on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Realizing my gaffe, I smiled awkwardly and said it was okay, I accidentally touched the wound when I moved just now, a few guys nodded, looking at me with some doubt in their eyes, I knew they didn't believe it, but I said so, and it was inconvenient for them to ask again, so they had to go out and close the door.
I looked at Xiao Zhang awkwardly a few times, and I asked, "Xiao Zhang, tell me the truth, where did you get these light pieces?" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Zhang was a little confused by my question, "What do you mean by this, didn't you ask me to shoot?" ”
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" I asked again.
"I said fatty," Xiao Zhang looked at me with caring eyes for the stupid roe deer, and his tone was very helpless, "We brothers have been for so long, why can't I see through you more and more, don't play dumb riddles for me here, say, what's going on." ”
"Look," I raised the X-ray in my hand, Xiao Zhang looked at it for a long time, then put his head to my perspective, and finally scratched his head, "What's the matter, I can't see anything, do you want to tell me that this monkey doesn't have a brain?" ”
I sighed, my fault, Xiao Zhang didn't study archaeology, I was too close to him, and I always felt that he was smarter than me, but this kid didn't even go to high school, and there was still a certain gap with me in terms of cognition.
"This is ......" I took a deep breath and tried to make my tone as serious and mysterious as possible, my character is like that, if something shocks me, I will definitely make it shock others to a greater extent, "Forest Ape." ”
"Forest Australopithecus?" Xiao Zhang was even more puzzled, "What is that, a very rare breed, doesn't this mean that this monkey is very valuable?" ”
I couldn't laugh or cry, I slapped my head with my hand, wiped my sweat, and sure enough, I was wrong from the beginning, this illiterate person didn't know what a forest ape was.
"The forest ape was the first upright walking ape that lived 20 million years ago," I said, "that is, our ancestors." ”
"Good girl," Xiao Zhang was surprised, ", you mean you went out for a spin and brought us an ancestor?" ”
I was a little speechless, at this time my phone rang, I picked it up and looked, the biology teacher sent me another private message, I thought I couldn't let him know about it, so I prevaricated casually.
Surprise is surprise, Xiao Zhang doesn't care about these puzzles, the truth and the like, so he just sighed, and he should do something.
And I lay in bed, with a lot of thoughts in my heart, no less than setting off a stormy wave.
To be honest, I envy people like Xiao Zhang, who only pay attention to the appearance, as for the deep meaning, it makes no sense to pursue it, and I can't, I always keep thinking in my head, even if I understand it in my own heart, there will be no result if I think about it.
……………………
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and my injuries are almost clean.
In the past half a month, the days have been very peaceful, I am either reading books, or I am playing king pesticides with Xiao Zhang, or I am calling a few guys to come and play cards together.
Due to the misery of being pitted by primary school students when playing ranking, Xiao Zhang thought of a crooked idea of "revenge on society", we called two guys to a piece of four black, pushed to the high ground when they were about to win and surrendered collectively, and finally gave the poor teammate a wave of reports.
I don't know how that person feels, if it were me, I would be so angry that I would have dropped my phone.
When I was discharged from the hospital, Lao Zhao also arranged a table of banquets for me, saying that it was for me to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but in fact, I knew that he had something to say.
Sure enough, at the banquet, Lao Zhao told us that the red copper scroll we brought out from the tomb had been cracked, and the first advance team had been sent to the East China Sea, and as the main force, we planned to set off in mid-June.
I thought to myself that this is a really good time, neither cold nor too hot.
It was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening after eating, Lao Zhao took us back to the shop, let us rest early, Xiao Zhang went back to his room, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, my room was next to him, and he could hear his snoring sound across a wall.
The little monkey also curled up beside my bed, sleeping soundly, I found a blanket to cover it, and lay down on the bed by myself, but I couldn't sleep from it tossing and turning.
As soon as I close my eyes these days, I can see my eldest brother standing in front of me covered in blood, I know that this is my psychological effect, I think I killed him, and the guilt in my heart about him has been tormenting me and has never dissipated.
I tossed and turned, and when I was half-asleep and half-awake, the mobile phone rang suddenly, I picked it up and squinted at it, sat up directly from the bed, and it was Chen Tianxing who called me.
This Chen Tianxing is the third child of the "Walnut Garden Three Knots", this guy is a genius, he went abroad after graduating from junior high school, we were still in contact, but more than a year ago, he wanted to participate in a scientific research project, the level of confidentiality was very high, and we have cut off contact since then.
Not long ago, the eldest brother also had an accident, and the three of us brothers were almost separated, but I didn't expect that today, more than a year later, he suddenly called, and it was in the middle of the night.
I swiped the phone with trembling fingers, and a familiar voice came from the other end, "Second brother, are you asleep?" ”
"At this time, what do you say?" I tried my best to suppress my emotions and pretend to be relaxed.
"I'm in Ruzhou right now, and my brothers haven't seen each other for years. See if you can come and get together with me," Chen Tianxing said, I looked at my watch, it was close to twelve o'clock, and I had just had dinner with Lao Zhao and them, but the old people invited me, how could there be any reason not to agree?
"Come to the fourth barbecue stall at the entrance of our junior high school and meet and talk."
I said yes, hung up the phone, got up and changed into a casual suit, pushed the door open and walked out.
Lao Zhao hadn't slept at this time, sitting on a chair drinking tea, and asked me what I was going to do when I was dressed so neatly, I briefly told him, he nodded, threw me a bunch of keys, and asked me to drive his car.
I said no, one is that I don't have a driver's license, so I'm not suitable for driving in the city, but I've only driven a van, Lao Zhao's sedan is relatively long, or automatic, I'm afraid that I'm not used to driving it, and something happens to one accidentally.
The county seat of Ruzhou is really not big, from east to west is a total of ten kilometers, the barbecue stall Chen Tianxing said is not far from Lao Zhao's shop, I walked briskly, it took less than half an hour to get to the place.
I haven't been here for a few years, the business of the barbecue stall is still so prosperous, six or seven tables of people are sitting on the side of the road drinking and skewering, but I still recognize Chen Tianxing at a glance, I haven't seen him for a few years, although this kid has grown a little taller, but he is still the same old look, he looks like Sven Wen, and he can't help but be weak.
The table in front of this kid was full of grilled leeks, grilled shiitake mushrooms, grilled lamb skewers, baked potato chips, grilled lamb shanks and other barbecues, and he was looking at the table in a daze, I walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Second brother!" When he looked up, he jumped up and threw himself on top of me, knocking over the stool, and wiping his snot and tears from me, causing the others to look sideways and think we were insane.
"You calm down, so many people are watching," I wasted a lot of effort before I tore him off of me, and he reached out and punched me in the stomach, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have become fat!" ”
I gave him a blank look, pulled him to sit down, asked for a bottle of wine, bit it open with my teeth, poured two glasses, and the two of us talked while drinking.
"Tianxing ......" greeted him, I was ready to cut to the chase and tell him about my eldest brother, but he directly picked up the wine glass and pestle it on my face, "Love and righteousness are in the wine, drink!" ”
I smiled bitterly twice, swallowed the words back into my stomach, and drank with him.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, both of us were a little drunk, and began to brag nonsense together, from childhood to now, Chen Tianxing boasted about what awards he had won and what achievements he had won, I saw that I really had nothing to brag about, so I directly added fuel and vinegar to the previous tomb robbery and told him, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Amazing, amazing," Chen Tianxing sighed again and again, "I thought that I should have gained a lot of knowledge after going out for so long, but I didn't expect that I would not be a fart compared to you." ”
I can tell me, don't compliment me, what's the matter with calling me out in the middle of the night, it's not just about eating.
"Of course not," Chen Tianxing put away his smile, his expression began to become serious, "I'm here to bid you farewell." ”
"Huh?" I was puzzled, "Aren't you out there all the time?" ”
"This time is different," Chen Tianxing shook his head, "I may not come back." ”
Hearing his words, I shuddered, and my drunkenness turned into cold sweat and flowed down.
I thought he would be the same as before, laughing and lying to me, but unfortunately he didn't.
"I'm going to join a very dangerous project," Chen Tianxing picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp, "I may not be able to come back." ”
"What project?" I blurted it out, even though I knew that these items were definitely top secret within top secrets.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you, it's not good for either of us," Chen Tianxing smiled apologetically, "I can only say that this is a very big project, and I am only responsible for a part of it, this project is called Explorer, and it is a little exploration of the origin of our world." ”
