Chapter 253: Within Reach
The morning sun rises lazily from the other end of the asphalt road.
Wei Qing opened his eyes, lay on the bed and stretched his limbs lazily, yawning widely.
After getting up, Wei Qing summoned the bodyguard to the front and asked him to do something for himself. Then, unhurriedly began to wash up.
Nowadays, in this dry and cold season, in this lonely and boring town, everything around is so inspiring. After eating breakfast slowly, Wei Qing sat bored at the dining table whistling, his eyes looking at the road outside the window, and his thoughts flew out with him. After a while, the bodyguard walked in from outside and delivered a package to him. "Sir, what you have commanded has been done."
"Thank you!" After thanking him, Wei Qing walked back to his room with the package. After opening the package, Wei Qing began to get busy.
The package contained cosmetics, not cosmetics such as rouge gouache, of course.
After some tossing, Wei Qing walked to a mirror and admired it with satisfaction. In the mirror, he has completely changed his appearance: unclean clothes, shabby cotton shoes, gray hair, dark skin, and a few big sores on his face, his previous young and handsome face is completely gone, replaced by a middle-aged and elderly man who has gone through vicissitudes. Looking at himself in the mirror, Wei Qing nodded with satisfaction.
When he walked to the door, when he was about to go out, the bodyguard stopped him: "Sir, I also brought you an extra pair of boots and a pistol." ”
Wei Qing turned around and saw that he was indeed holding a pair of brand-new soft boots and a small black and shiny pistol in his hand. "No thanks!" Wei Qing politely declined the kindness. After saying that, he turned around and walked out. The reason why he went out this time was dressed like this was purely for the sake of safety; He's going to take a look around and take a look at the terrain! At that time, when the crisis comes, it will not be unprepared and panicked. The soft boots didn't match the clothes on his body, so they didn't need them; As for the pistol, he didn't dare to take it, the firearm that Ling Yan left him before, he had hardly touched it! Thinking of the gun at home, Wei Qingzhi was a little worried: "I hope my parents don't see through it, it's true, I should have thrown it into the river a long time ago" Speaking of weapons, Wei cleared the hatred or hatred! What can those things do other than hurt people? It's not meant to be pretty! If you want to talk about hurting people, Wei Qing would rather be hurt by others than hurt others!
After walking dozens or twenty meters out of the door of the small building, you will go up to the asphalt road. Looking back at the small building where he had lived for a few days, Wei Qingzhi was a little embarrassed! His eyes widened, and his mood broadened all of a sudden, and he really couldn't help but feel the urge to leave and rush home immediately. In the end, he put up with this irrational thought.
Wei Qing strode forward along the road. The winding and narrow asphalt road leads to the other end of the town, and Wei Qing intends to take a thorough look at the town.
The town is located in the Midwest, and the local atmosphere here is somewhat different from his hometown.
It should be around 8 a.m., but there are few pedestrians on the road, and the shops on either side are not open. People here don't wake up until about 10 o'clock.
Wei Qing held the map in one hand and checked the signs on the road. According to the satellite map, a few kilometers to the south of the town is the 100,000 Mountains; To the north is a village; Not far to the west is the official road, followed by a hundred miles of uninhabited land; To the east was the forest, where they had come. Wei Qing thought boredly: If you follow the road all the way to the east, out of the town and through the forest, you will be able to reach your hometown in a few days
The town is very small, only 2,000 meters from east to west, 500 meters from north to south, and there are only three streets. Therefore, Wei Qing easily inspected the entire town.
After inspecting the surrounding terrain and landforms, Wei Qing set off and walked in the direction of the small building.
It was past nine o'clock, and the fiery red sun also rose on the roof, and it was in mid-air! There are still few pedestrians on the streets, and they are still deserted.
Wei Qing's reflection was reflected on the road for a long time, stepping on his own shadow all the way, whistling leisurely. "It doesn't matter what kind of assassin, what kind of gunman, what kind of scientific research institution, what kind of bounty hunter, you can come if you want, and kill me if you want to! offended you, count me Wei Qing as eight lifetimes of mold" on the surface, one by one, he was leisurely, but in his heart, he kept mocking himself, mocking himself for being superficial and not knowing the height of the sky.
Walking through a bend, the small white building appeared in his sight, gradually getting closer.
Approaching the asphalt road, Wei Qing stood in place and looked around, and saw that there were no abnormal people around, so he sighed lightly and walked towards the small building.
The sense of crisis really made him a little nervous!
Before he got close to the door of the small building, Wei Qing heard a conversation coming from inside the house! Suddenly, his expression became tense. He tiptoed to the door and began to listen.
"Damn!" Through the door, a man's angry voice came out, "What are you doing?" You stupid fellow who doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick it is, can't you see the current situation clearly? How can you rest assured that he will go out alone? In this chaotic situation, if something happens to one of his weak patients, how can I explain it to his parents?"
"The subordinates are ignorant, please punish the boss!" This is the voice of the bodyguard reproaching himself.
"Reprimand?" The angry voice rang out again: "Even if you don't say it, I will punish you." I'm putting you in charge of his safety, not making you obey him everywhere! There are some things that can depend on him, and some things that can never depend on him. He is an outsider, he doesn't know the danger of the situation, he doesn't know the complexity of things, don't you know either? ”
Wei Qing heard it, this was Ling Yan's voice. Wei Qing's heart trembled, "Ling Yan, when did he come back?" Ling Yan cared about him and was greatly moved! At the same time, his words also made him feel red-faced. Ling Yan's words of reprimanding the bodyguard were simply insinuating his ignorance.
"Who's out there? It's Wei Qing."
Suddenly, Ling Yan's voice came from inside the house.
"Discovered?" With a thrill in his heart, Wei Qing had no choice but to stop hiding, push the door and walk in.
"Why did you come back? Where have you been? As soon as he entered the door, Ling Yan walked over with a stern face.
The bodyguard stood aside with his head down, stunned.
"I'm really sorry I went out for a casual stroll, I'm sorry to worry you about me!" Encountering Ling Yan's stern gaze, Wei Qing stammered! Fear of being reprimanded.
Looking at his frightened appearance, the serious expression on Ling Yan's face softened. He sighed and said helplessly: "Wei Qing, it's not that I deliberately restricted your actions, but that the current situation is very dangerous for you!" I hope you understand the predicament you're in," Ling Yan sighed as she spoke. He was indeed worried about Wei Qing's safety.
"Hmm!" Wei Qing lowered his head, as if a child who had done something wrong was being reprimanded in front of his parents. "But" Then, he raised his head to face Ling Yan again, and said, "I hope you don't punish him" He wanted to intercede for the bodyguard.
"Okay, okay! That's what I promised you. Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yan waved his hand and agreed.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief for the bodyguard.
Ling Yan turned to the bodyguard and said, "You go out first!" ”
"Yes!" The bodyguard walked over and glanced at Wei Qing gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. for interceding for me!" Wei Qing replied with a smile: "You're welcome." ”
"I heard, you went out to inspect the terrain?" Ling Yan asked.
"Yes." Wei Qing was a little cramped.
"What did you find on this trip?" Ling Yan walked to the table and sat down, his arm propped on the table, not knowing whether it was mockery or seriousness.
Wei Qing shook his head and did not speak. He was a little nervous.
"Alas!" Looking at his appearance, Ling Yan was helpless! Pointing to the vacant seat next to him, he said, "Don't stand stupidly, come and sit!" ”
"Hmm!" Wei Qing snorted, walked over and sat down, not to mention how depressed he was.
Ling Yan moved to this side, next to him, and said softly: "Wei Qing, listen to me, you'd better not show up until the danger is lifted." Either way, you have to stay at home with peace of mind, and I will take care of everything for you! As long as I'm by your side, no one can hurt you."
"Hmm!" Wei Qing nodded, one hand still scratching at the edge of the table, his fingernails squeaking against the table.
The two good friends were honest with each other, and soon, the estrangement in Wei Qing's heart completely dissipated!
Wei Qing said: "Didn't you leave, why did you suddenly come back?" You're done with your business? ”
"I couldn't worry about the situation here, so I came here to take a look."
"Thank you" Wei Qing emotionally shook his good friend's hands, his eyes flashed with gratitude, "Thank you for worrying about me"
"If you say that, it's too out-of-the-box!" Ling Yan pretended to be angry, gave him a blank look, and withdrew his hands. Then, his expression became serious again, and he said solemnly: "Actually, I came this time for another purpose, and it is about you. ”
"Something to do with me?" Wei Qing stretched out a finger and pointed it at his nose.
"Yes." Ling Yan said: "I have decided to change another identity for you, so that you can have no worries!" What do you think? ”
"Hmm~" After hearing this, Wei Qing touched his chin and thought about it. After a long time, he shook his head solemnly and replied, "I can't change my identity, I don't want to lose my family, my life." ”
"Time is passing, things are changing; Wei Qing, you have to learn to forget the past and adapt to the future"
"No-" Wei Qing said solemnly, "I can do anything, but I can't lose my family." If the person 'Wei Qing' no longer exists, then what is the meaning of my family? I can't do it, I can't do it."
"It's only temporary, it won't last long! It won't be long before you'll be able to reunite with your family in the open, and no one will assassinate you. ”
"I, I" Wei Qing hesitated!
Ling Yan saw his thoughts and continued to enlighten: "Wei Qing, you have to think farther, for the sake of your family, you have to be patient. Let's take your current appearance as an example, if you don't explain, who else will know that you are Wei Qing? Isn't this equivalent to another 'identity' of yours! ”
Wei Qing lowered his head and looked himself up and down again, indeed, if he didn't explain, even his parents wouldn't see through it! Finally, he was impressed. "So when will I get back to my own life? Can you give me an exact time? ”
Ling Yan shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to make a promise now. ”
"Why?"
"It depends on when I defeat my enemies"
"Oh my God!" Wei Qing's head suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he almost fainted in pain! "Then why do you give me a hope that doesn't exist in the first place?" Ling Yan's enemy, Wei Qing didn't know much about it, but just by analyzing the little information he learned from his mouth, he could get a glimpse of the fundamentals!
"Wei Qing!" Ling Yan stretched out his hand to support Wei Qing, who was about to fall, and said solemnly: "This hope exists and is within reach, please believe me." ”
"Your enemy is simply invincible," Wei Qing was sad. Now, who is to blame for all this predicament he is facing? The answer to this question is not clear to him himself. In the final analysis, he always blames the reason on that scientific research institution, and he thinks to himself that it is all the fault of that scientific research institution. If it weren't for their actions that violated the principles of heaven and morality, how could they have caused this series of incidents
Wei Qing's escape began at that scientific research institution, and he naturally blamed them for all his faults.
Thinking that he had almost lost his life several times, Wei Qing's heart was full of hatred and anger. He grabbed his best friend's hands tightly and swore that "now, we are all facing a common threat, I will not rest on my laurels, I have decided to fight side by side with you to defend against the new world" When he spoke, the expression on his face was so resolute, so irrefutable.
However, after Ling Yan heard his words, he hesitated! He kept thinking about it in his heart! Wei Qing wants to be a head-on enemy with Qi Yu, how can this be? When facing Qi Yu, even he was not sure of victory, Wei Qing, what did he count? He's an ant-like existence in front of him, and he's going to kill him, but what should I do at my fingertips? What should I do?
