Chapter 2 - Welcome to Mud Village~
Leon felt that this mission had a taste of something wrong from beginning to end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
First of all, the important person was kidnapped, and his task was to find this VIP, but the boss didn't give him any information about the VIP, not even a photo, so he threw himself to Spain, God knows who the VIP is!
Then, as the number one agent, his busy tasks all day long are basically to infiltrate the government of a certain country to steal confidential information, assassinate important members of a certain terrorist organization, and even after some high-level combat effectiveness tests, he has his own exclusive task of going to the territory where those terrorists are entrenched to quell the rebellion alone! With such an ordinary rescue operation, it stands to reason that it is impossible to find oneself.
But the high-level officials seemed to have a convulsion, naming him to save the VIP, and President Mr. Graham also said to him earnestly: "You must rescue him as soon as possible, if not for the United States, but for me...... You don't know that after my precious daughter heard that guy had been kidnapped, she really ran up to me and yelled at me all day long when she saw that I was free...... I'm still ringing in my ears. β
The president's daughter, Ashley Graham, Leon has seen, quite a good little girl, a typical American girl, but what does that VIP have to do with the president's daughter? So who the hell is Ya!?
He suddenly had a sense of foreboding, as if something terrible was going to happen in this operation.
When he came back to his senses, the white-bearded old man knocked the spoon on the edge of the pot, knocked the lump of beef on it back into the pot, then turned to look at Leon, and said with a smile: "(Spanish) Welcome, there are very few outsiders in this place, is there anything wrong?" β
Leon, who could understand Spanish anyway, stammered and replied, "Well, I'm here to find someone...... Excuse me, have any outsiders been here lately? β
The white-bearded old man smiled, and said with kindness on his face: "Outsiders? Recently, a lot of outsiders have come here, and they are probably resting in the village at this time, as if they are here for tourism...... Oh, by the way, there's a gathering in the village in the afternoon, why don't I take you with me, and now I'm ready for lunch, are you hungry? Come and eat together? β
It's rare to see such a hospitable villager - so Leon nodded, "Well, thanks, I'm a little hungry." β
The old man laughed, put the pot on the table next to him, and found two plates from the cabinet on the side, which were different from the dirty environment around him, so clean that they were simply reflective, and then the old man filled two plates of potato and beef stew, and beckoned to Leon: "Come, sit, I haven't chatted with anyone for a long time, and you just happened to be chatting with me." β
"Oh...... Thanks again. Leon sat down at the table, looked at the dazzling potato and beef stew in front of him, which looked like a legendary dish, and saw that the old man put his fingers crossed on his chest and closed his eyes as if he was praying, so he also politely waited quietly for him to finish praying, and did not touch the food on the table.
After a while, the old man opened his eyes, saw Leon's actions, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "I almost forgot, let me introduce myself, but I am too old to forget my name, but I still remember that my ancestors seem to have moved from Britain hundreds of years ago...... My surname is Lee, you can call me Li Laohan. β
"Uh, hello Mr. Lee, my name is Leon, Leon Scott Kennedy...... Nice to meet you. After a textbook introduction of himself, Leon asked, "Mr. Lee, as I do, but ...... What about your children? β
Li Laohan smiled again: "My daughter has moved to the city, sometimes she will come back to see me, bring me some interesting little things, my son lives in the village, taking care of the small orchard left by the ancestors, grandchildren and grandchildren live in the city with my daughter, I don't come back often, I want to be quiet, so I live here at the entrance of the village, and I live well alone, but sometimes it is a little difficult to move things, my son often says that he wants to come and live with me, I refuse." β
Yes, he's an empty nester, and he's a mild talker.
In this way, Leon and Li Laohan settled lunch in a conversation, and then went out.
The two bitter strips were still waiting in the car hungry, and when they saw Leon coming out, the thin strips got out of the window and called, "Hey, cowboy, is it over?" β
Leon thought about it for a while, and also shouted over there: "I can't finish it for the time being, why don't you two go back first!" When the director asks, you just say that I mean! β
"Oh! Say it early! I didn't even eat my brother or sister for lunch! The thin strip grumbled, started the car, turned around and drove across the suspension bridge again, and left the place.
Then Leon was taken all the way to the village by Li Laohan, during which there were desolate scenes all the way, and there was always a hint of warmth in the melancholy atmosphere when he looked at it.
When he entered the gate of the village, he looked around, and the village looked very dilapidated, and if he hadn't seen a large group of villagers coming and going doing farm work, he would have thought that this place was a ghost village.
When the villagers saw Li Laohan, they stopped what they were doing and beckoned to him: "Hey, Li Laohan, you came here so early?" It's still early! Well? Who's that guy behind you? β
Li Laohan also happily replied: "He came to find someone, I wondered if there were several outsiders a while ago?" Maybe the person he was looking for was inside, so he brought it over, a nice young man...... What about my son? Is it over there in the orchard? β
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man wearing a beanie came running over: "Dad, I'm here...... Have you eaten? β
"How's the orchard harvest this year?"
"Didn't you ask the other day...... Well, I'll answer again, a cannery approached me and signed a contract, and most of the fruit can be soldβbut we don't need much money in the country, so can we call the children then?" β
"It's up to you." Li Laohan dropped this sentence, then looked around as if he was looking for someone, looked at it for a long time, and asked the people around him, "Where is the village chief?" β
"Mr. Mendez is in the church now, and I heard that it seems that the stupid Dele girl has had another convulsion, and the old man of the village chief is probably busy with it now." A young man next to him said, "Old man Li, are you going to go to church now?" It's okay, you can go there first and sit there and chat with the village chief, the village chief seems to be enchanted since he met the outsider, and he is holding that strange book all day long, and I don't know what words are written in the mess on the book, I don't know any of them. β
Another aunt next to her grabbed this guy's ear and said, "I said that it was English, you bear child asked you to go to school, you don't go to shame...... Li Laohan, you go to the church first, we still have a lot of things to finish here, see you in the church then. β
"Well, okay...... Come, lad. Saying that, Li Laohan led Leon into a room with an iron door, "There is a tunnel over there, and it is much faster to walk from there...... It's just a little tiring to climb the ladder, so let's go. β
Leon looked at the harmonious village and felt as if he had missed somethingβperhaps he would have missed it if it had been encountered, but that didn't affect his current sense of gain and loss.
