Chapter 108: Invitation (Part 2)
(There is a change in the evening, by the way, please subscribe!) )
The next evening, Bucky and Anna say goodbye to him at his doorstep in the countryside.
Bucky patted Luo Shuo's fat shoulder, smiled and said, "Fat Luo, concentrate on practicing martial arts with Master Wunian, don't live up to the master's expectations of you." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Barnes, I'll do my best!"
Since returning to Lijiang City this afternoon, after Bucky took out 100,000 yuan in cash and handed it to Luo Shuo, Luo Shuo has strengthened his determination to follow the monk Wunian to practice martial arts on the snowy mountain. Taking Bucky and Anna to their parents' house in the countryside, Luo said that he handed over the money to his parents, who had been farming for a living, and made it clear that he would practice martial arts on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the next few years. Luo said that although his parents felt sorry for their son, the opportunity to get ahead was rare, and he could have such an opportunity to change his fate, and Luo's father and mother would no longer stop him.
"After you finish your studies, if you want to develop abroad, you might as well go to the United States to find me, we are also friends, and I will definitely not treat you badly." As he spoke, Bucky asked Rowe for a pen and paper, wrote down his address at the Brooklyn villa and his phone number in the United States, and handed it to Rowe.
After saying goodbye to Luo, Bucky and Anna returned directly to the Lijiang Hotel.
Along the way, Bucky told Anna about his magical experience on Axel for more than half a month, and of course, in order not to worry Anna, this experience was shrunk. For example, Steim is a strange-looking dog in Bucky's mouth, and Malekith is an old man with nervous problems.
"Bucky, it's Christmas in a few days."
After dinner, on the balcony of the hotel, Anna said this to Bucky as she looked at the starry sky.
Christmas!
Bucky, who had never had Christmas habits in his previous life, just reacted, isn't it about Christmas? He was teleported to Axel on the eve of Thanksgiving at the end of November, and returned to Earth after more than half a month on an alien planet, isn't it almost Christmas?
In the blink of an eye, he had been in this world for more than a year, and Bucky remembered that he met Anna on the street on Christmas Eve last year.
"yes, how do you want to spend Christmas this year?" Bucky asked Anna with a smile.
Anna said with a bit of pleading, "I miss Kayla, shall we go find my sister?" I haven't had Christmas with Kayla in years. ”
Bucky recalls the woman with whom he had only one side and resolutely followed in the footsteps of Wolverine Logan. Looking back now, it's been a long time since I've heard from Logan and Kayla.
"Of course, Kayla is in the United States? We'll go back tomorrow. ”
Anna shook her head with a little excitement and said, "No, Kayla is in Hong Kong, and her brother-in-law is also in Hong Kong." ”
"Brother-in-law?"
"Yes, my brother-in-law, Wolverine Logan, you should remember him!" Anna nodded, as a matter of course.
Bucky's heart moved, but he didn't expect Kayla to get together with Logan again, and hurriedly asked Anna, "Has Logan recovered his memory?" ”
"No, Kayla tried a lot of tricks, but they couldn't get Logan back to his memory." Anna said with a little regret in her tone: "But it doesn't matter, although Logan has not recovered his memory, but he has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Kayla, Kayla has accompanied Logan to many places in the past six months, Canada, Europe, Russia, Japan, Logan finally fell in love with Kayla again, sister She is very happy now!" ”
Bucky listened to the story of Logan and Kayla in the past six months, and secretly sighed that such an ending should be considered perfect, at least with Logan's dedication, after having Kayla, he should not be a junior and pry Scott's corner.
Seeing that Bucky was stunned and didn't react for a long time, Anna pulled Rakbaky's clothes and said coquettishly: "It's okay for us to go to Hong Kong, people miss my sister so much!" ”
It was the first time for Bucky to see Anna make such a coquettish move, and he couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed Anna's head, messing up her originally beautiful blonde hair, and said with a smile: "No problem, let's go to Hong Kong." ”
made a call to Coulson, and Bucky handed over all the visa issues to Hong Kong, which made Coulson secretly scold Bucky in his heart for being overkill, as a fifth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., he actually helped Bucky apply for visas all day long, and he simply didn't use agents as cadres.
Although he slandered Bucky, Coulson still seriously completed the task that Bucky explained, who made the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. owe Bucky a lot of favors in the Giant Rat Incident, if there was no Bucky, a "temporary worker", then the Giant Rat would not know what to do to destroy New York.
Before Christmas, on December 23rd, Bucky and Anna arrived in Hong Kong.
As soon as he exited the airport building, Bucky saw two familiar figures waiting outside, it was Logan and Kayla. Logan's simple jacket, jeans, sunglasses, messy hair and beard give people a sense of bohemianism, attracting the attention of many women entering and leaving the airport, and Bucky believes that if Kayla hadn't been holding Logan's hand, this guy must have been accosted countless times.
"Sister!"
When she saw Kayla, Anna immediately ran two steps and threw herself into Kayla's arms, reluctant to come out. Seeing Anna's appearance, Kayla also felt guilty, she had not been able to fulfill her responsibility as a sister in the past few years, and she really suffered this sister.
The two sisters reunited after a long absence, and naturally there was nothing to say, but Bucky and Logan were very interested and did not come forward to bother.
"Wolverine Logan, long time no see!" Bucky reached out and shook Logan's hand, smiling.
Bucky remembered Logan, but Logan, who had lost all his memories, did not know this comrade who had fought side by side, and looked at Bucky for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I don't remember you." ”
Bucky had expected this, and said, "I know that losing your memories can be painful, but you're lucky to have Kayla by your side all the time, and if you continue like this, I'm sure you'll have one day to regain your memories." ”
"It's really my luck to have Kayla by my side." Logan smiled and continued, "I don't remember you, but Kayla told me about you, Bucky Barnes, that we should have fought side by side before. ”
It's so easy for a man's friendship to establish, even if Logan doesn't have any memories of Bucky at all, but in just a few words, Logan recognizes Bucky as a friend and has a good conversation with Bucky.
"Logan, let's go get the car, a lot of people are watching us!" After a long time, Kayla realized that the four of them had become a scenic spot in the airport, and hurriedly said to Logan.
In fact, it's no wonder that the three people here except for Bucky are all mutants, for the mutant race, basically except for the strange appearance, no one looks like anyone, most of the rest are handsome men and beautiful women, Logan and Anna sisters are no exception, plus Bucky, a warm man with a gentle smile, the four of them are definitely a beautiful scenery.
……
Christmas 1992 has passed in a blink of an eye, and Bucky has had a rare good relaxation these days, and the nerves that have been tense during this time have finally relaxed. For Logan and Anna, it was a wonderful experience of spending Christmas in a foreign country, but for Bucky, there was a feeling of home, and in this place where English and Cantonese were mixed, Bucky had a rare sense of his past life.
That night, after Bucky and the others returned to the hotel after visiting the last few attractions in Hong Kong, Bucky called Logan to sit opposite Logan in the living room of the suite, and asked him, "Logan, do you have any plans for the future?" ”
Bucky's question was a bit unexpected by Logan, he didn't expect Bucky to call himself here to ask such a question while Sister Anna was not there.
Shaking his head, Logan said, "I don't have any plans, let's take one step at a time, if I can get back my lost memories, it would be the best." What, Barnes, what's the matter with you? ”
"Do you know about the giant rat incident in New York a month ago?"
Logan nodded and said, "I've heard this, I heard that it was a rat that survived nuclear radiation and mutated in New York, causing a lot of damage. By the way, Kayla also told me that you were the one who took out the mouse, right? ”
"Yes, it was true that I and a few friends had to kill the rat with almost all my might." Bucky then asked, "I want to form a special operations team dedicated to dealing with this paranormal phenomenon, I want you to join, I wonder if you are interested?" ”
"This ......" Logan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and refusing, "I'm sorry Barnes, but now that I'm with Kayla, I don't want to do all that kind of fighting and killing anymore." ”
"Logan, times have changed." Bucky sighed deeply, thinking of the possible future disasters, and then persuaded Rogan: "In the next one or two decades, our world will face great challenges, not only mutated creatures like that giant rat, but we will face more challenges from careerists, crazy scientists, and even alien races, and if we lose, even the entire human race will be wiped out." ”
Logan frowned and asked, "You have prophetic powers?" ”
"I don't have prophetic powers, but I've seen movies!" Of course, this was just what Bucky was thinking, so he naturally didn't tell Logan, but said: "I don't have prophetic powers, but a few days ago, I also met a monk with prophetic powers, and he saw the devastated earth and the overwhelming alien spaceship. ”
Logan was silent, believing that Bucky would not deceive himself on such an issue, and if this prophecy came true, then he really could not live that freewheeling life anymore. There are no eggs under the nest, this simple truth Logan still understands, even if it is not for himself, just for Kayla, he must do something.
Seeing Logan's somewhat heartfelt look, Bucky continued: "Logan, I won't restrain you by anything, I just want my relatives and friends to live well, and I won't leave me because of those disasters that may happen in the future." If you feel that the behavior of this squad I have formed is contrary to your beliefs, you can always quit. ”
Looking out the window and silent for a long time, Logan said: "Maybe the days of wandering should come to an end, Kayla has also suffered a lot with me in the past six months, and I should also give Kayla a stable life." It's okay to join your special operations team, but Kayla and I should be settled in New York, and if the disasters you mentioned happen happen, I'll do my part. ”
Although Logan didn't promise to join his team, which didn't even know a word, Bucky was satisfied with such a promise and wouldn't force anything more. Smiling, Bucky patted Logan on the shoulder and said, "Okay man, welcome to New York!" (To be continued.) )
