Chapter 6 We all have a small wish in our hearts
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining, and the mildew and rainy days of more than ten days in Tongjia Town finally came to an end. The long-lost daylight is extremely low and warm on the wall of the café on the central street of Tongjia Town, and the gray wall that has been invaded by the rain for several days reveals a large patch of half-dry and half-wet patches, like black and white flowers printed on it.
The café in the gray wall is doing well today, especially on the second floor, where there were few people in the past, and the private rooms separated by hard bamboo slivers are not empty today. Some merchants on Central Street hung signs that were temporarily closed in the early morning, and a few idler owners sat in the private room on the second floor of the café and ordered two pots of tea, sipping melon seeds and chatting. The view here is excellent, and across the wall is the mediation hall of the police station.
"Today's federation is really a politician, full of pigs and dogs!" An old man with fluttering hair picked up a melon seed and put it in his lips, and then scolded in a very slightful manner: "I only know how to correct and expand that Rausch bubble all day long, what's the use of spending money on such useless things?" When it rains, it is a foot of muddy water, and Tongjia Town does not even have a decent asphalt road except for the central street! ”
Another thin man at the same table with eyebrows and eyes that seemed to be clustered together obviously agreed with the old man: "Daddy Tian's words couldn't be more right, the atmospheric environment of the home planet has been completely transformed a hundred years ago, and he still holds this fart all day long with a bubble defense system that is not expensive, and the president of the Federation is really not as good as one term...... No, it's like a session. ”
"Not really. Even if the function of atmospheric environment transformation is completed, now the anti-federal army outside the realm is very fierce, I heard that the intrusion and robbery are all evil, there is no "sky dome", the citizens of the border will suffer, our Tongjia Town is not far from the bubble defense boundary, there is really a day, it is estimated that it will not be much better. A middle-aged man at the next table leaned his back and said dissatisfied. The thin man was obviously a little angry and wanted to fight back, but he suddenly remembered something, and wondered: "Why do you say that the federal government explicitly prohibits production and construction outside the boundaries of the "Sky Dome", but it allocates a large amount of funds every year to support the winter fishing of Lake Miral? Isn't the winter fishing held outside the realm every year? ”
"Can this be the same?" The middle-aged man glanced at the thin man with disdain, and then lifted his trouser leg with a dotted edge, revealing his right foot with a silver-white mechanical prosthetic. "My foot was frozen in Lake Miral. The nomadic tribes that hunt there every winter have a long history of inheritance and the establishment of the Federation, and they travel back and forth to and outside the defense boundary all year round, not afraid of cold or hardship, and their bodies are much stronger than us. Moreover, many safari tribes have the support of the federal military, and some of the clansmen of the safari tribes even have military status, which is part of the military's extension to put it bluntly. Besides, without winter fishing, where can I eat those steamed and oily fish? ”
"Speaking of this winter fishing, the fish banquet in Lake Miral that year, tsk, the scene can't be described, how many officials in the capital sent people to spend a lot of money, just for the fish on the fish banquet......" The middle-aged man was obviously unsatisfied, immersed in his own mind, gushing.
"Therefore, the person who presides over the fish feast is the most important thing, not to mention the benefits. It's no wonder that the little boss of the rain and the fat man of the left who eats for the sky must fight to the death, if I have good skills, I want to try! The middle-aged man took a sip of the cup of tea, frowned a little impatiently, called the waiter at the café, and changed the pot of hot coffee. The old-fashioned people in Xiaye love to drink tea, and I still love to drink this coffee. ”
"Not really. Although Tongjia Town is not big, the restaurants here are not one or two, and there are hard kung fu under them, so I think it will be a paradise for living and eating. The thin man with his eyebrows and eyes wrinkled together held a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table, obviously dissatisfied with the middle-aged man who classified himself as an old-fashioned person, "I've been there for the day, steamed buns and steamed buns, the taste is mediocre, and the price is really cheap." ”
"You young people, you haven't eaten for a few years, and you're making a lot of nonsense here." Father Tian, who had been silent, stood up and sneered, glanced at the people on the second floor, and said, "The people of Tongjia Town seem to have forgotten where Zuo Minglei came from over the years, and they have forgotten the days when food was just opened. ”
"Daddy Tian is right, you don't know much about Fat Zuo. My café opened on Central Street in the same year as Shiweitian, and I remember it very well. The café owner who came in to gossip smiled and played a round game: "In the first few days of Shiweitian's opening, it was very beautiful, and there were several tables of red, green and green on the welcome seat. Zuo Fatzi moved from Xihai's family, and I heard that he was a famous cook in Xihai. The recipes at that time were not the same as they are now, they were all table banquet dishes with tricks, but our Tongjia Town people didn't love and couldn't afford to eat those fancy things, so Food for Genius is what it looks like now. I look at the big officials in Shangdu, what people like to eat and what they want to eat, Zuo Fat Man may think more clearly, after all, Boss Yu is still young. ”
"Humph! Who believes that? If he really has the craft, why did he Zuo Minglei go when Canglanju first opened in the early years? The thin man asked everyone with a slightly red neck, "But Zuo Minglei is really ruthless, in order to keep the food for the sky, he actually made a bet with the little boss Yu, if he loses, he will move out of Tongjia Town by himself, and I am full of admiration for this ruthlessness." ”
"That's what I said. However, this morning, Canglanju didn't open the door, and it was almost noon at this time, and I didn't see the face of Boss Yu and Sister Hong, could it be that I was nervous before the game? Got sick to the toilet with a stomach? Everyone laughed, and the fragmentary laughter of a few tables fell all the way out the window and onto the central street.
…………
Hugo stumbled and almost fell. He smiled bitterly at the obviously extremely long black pants on his legs, and the hem of his pants was already mopping the floor, and then looked at Sister Hong, who was putting a formal suit on him, and said helplessly:
"Sister...... I'll say it again, we're going to cook, not to the pageant...... Oh my God, you tap! ”
Sister Hong didn't bother to wipe the fine beads of sweat oozing from the corners of her forehead, and while putting on a small black swallowtail suit on Hugo, she babbled: "Don't move, don't move!" Xiaoguozi, I heard that even the people in the surrounding towns were alarmed, and all the people from Tongjia Town will come over in a while. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and I found this little black swallowtail after shopping for it, and there is no one more flattering than him. ”
Hugo tied his collar and grinned at his own appearance in the mirror, an expression that was worse than crying. Because he usually smokes and burns grease in the back kitchen, he always wears a high-waisted cargo denim overalls, with large spacious pockets on both sides of the waist, which is convenient and dirty. Seeing that Sister Hong took out a bottle of hairspray and was about to spray it on her head, Hugo was so frightened that she was ready to flee, Sister Hong'er quickly pressed Hugo, and her hand was not idle: "Sister will clean up a "Victory Blade" hairstyle for you, a good omen, and ensure that you will be invincible today!" ”
After a while, the two finally came out of Canglanju and walked along the central street to the security station, and the merchants who were still open along the way saw Hugo coming, and hurriedly beckoned the shopkeepers to close, and then followed Hugo and walked forward together. Sister Hong tilted her head to Hugo and nagged and kept repeating to tell Hugo not to be nervous and play normally, without noticing the crowd gathering behind her. Hugo looked at the more and more people surrounding him, and then thought about the towering hairstyle on his head, and suddenly felt how sad life was.
Canglanju is not far from the Tongjia Town Security Station, and it takes about ten minutes to walk. Hugo felt that this section of the road was extra long today, and when he finally saw the magenta roof of the small building in the mediation hall of the public security office, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped up a few steps.
"Security check over here first." A group of soldiers dressed in federal light blue uniforms approached and held out their right hand to signal him to turn right into the security area for inspection. Looking at the security area fenced with blue laser rays, and a group of soldiers dressed in the uniform of the federal security department, who were conducting security checks on the crowd with metal detectors, Hugo couldn't help but be a little stunned, this kind of battle seems to have not been seen a few times in Xia Ye City. Hugo was thinking about it, opening his arms to be scanned by the metal detector, when the crowd suddenly stirred and rushed to the gate of the police station.
"Look! It's a mecha! It's a mecha! The crowd shouted and rushed forward. The two transport heavy locomotives parked in front of the security station had just opened the compartment doors, and the corners of two black mecha were exposed under the half-lifted green tarpaulin inside, reflecting a terrifying light.
With the sound of a neat and powerful pull of the bolts, the crowd in front of them suddenly stopped like a tide hitting the embankment, looking at the row of soldiers standing in front of the transport heavy locomotive, with grim expressions, people seemed to remember how transcendent the mecha that was rarely seen on weekdays was in the Federation.
Many years ago, a famous scientist in the Federation once said: "The birth of mechs will lead to more bloodshed and killing, but the future progress of mankind will surely step through these blood and steel, and merge them again." "The ascent of human civilization seems to be the fastest in the field of mechanical technology, and the efforts of countless scientists and researchers over hundreds of years have finally created these terrifying mechas, the final form of individual weapons and equipment. Each mecha's bare metal, mounted weapons, airborne locator, built-in control input system, energy storage system, etc. are all raised with high military spending, which creates the extremely strong combat effectiveness of the mecha, a single weapon, and is also destined to be a treasure that burns money to the extreme.
With the completion of the exchange of the two transport heavy machine carriages, re-covered with oilcloth and closed the door and slowly drove away, the crowd also retracted their eyes in a stupid manner, and whispered privately to discuss that the Winter Capture Federation actually deployed mechas, and openly showed a small face in the public, which is undoubtedly a deterrent to the anti-federal army, which can be seen that the recent attack by the anti-federal army outside the "sky" has also touched the real fire of the federal Ministry of Defense. Hugo also watched the two mecha go away in a daze, and felt a little reluctant in his heart. The attraction of this masculine mechanical creation to a twenty-year-old boy is obviously huge, those cold edges and corners, the shell of slaughter, which teenager has never imagined that one day he will sit in the cockpit and drive a mecha to kill all sides? Hugo's mind was full of the shadow of the black mecha he had just seen, and he was stunned and stunned in place.
"Little Boss Yu, the colonel is already waiting for you inside, why are you still standing here?" A voice interrupted Hugo, and Hugo came back to his senses to find that it was Adjutant Xu standing in front of him.
"Don't hide it from Adjutant Xu, I'm so big, but it's the first time I've seen a federal-made mecha. It's so handsome......" Hugo was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"The Dreadnought-3 is a new model approved by the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology last year to be officially equipped with the Second Garrison Division, and I haven't seen it a few times." Adjutant Xu should be a little unsmiling today because he is surrounded by subordinate soldiers. "Little boss, come in with me, the left shopkeeper has arrived."
Hugo answered, walked a few steps with Adjutant Xu, and as soon as he entered the mediation hall, he was startled by the layout in front of him.
