Chapter Twenty-Eight: Night in Raccoon Town

Cody sat cross-legged on the grass of his house in a fat and colorful African robe, enjoying the cheerfulness of the evening breeze. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In April, Raccoon Town is surrounded by the soft and dense Acre Forest, and no matter how hot the day is in summer, there will be a slight evening breeze at night, which is cool and fragrant with the trees in the forest.

"Hey! Sink! Didn't take a break? You're tired enough today. Cody said with a smile to Shen Chong who came over.

"What time is it? Don't worry, I'm not that empty. It's okay anyway. How about sitting down with you? ”

"Good! I'm bored! Come in and sit! Cody beckoned Shen in, and Shen Chong sat on the grass without saying a word.

Today, due to the amount of exercise when boxing with Cody, Shen Chongjue was a little uncomfortable from his hands to his waist! It's like you're on strike with yourself.

"What's the matter, the body is still a little weak! Lack of exercise, it will be fine in the future! Like this! Cody said as he tensed the muscles in his arm.

"Not bad! I'm trying! ”

Shen Chong said and looked at himself in the same way. But it's a bit amateurish compared to Cody's.

"Is the wound on your face getting better?"

"It's okay!"

"I'm sorry, I started a little harder today. I'm really sorry. Will you ever fight with me again? ”

"It's nothing! We Chinese martial arts practitioners have a good saying, is the sword ruthless! In the next few days, I hope that you, the fourth boxer of the US military, will show mercy! I don't have to fight. Shen Chong said as he covered his face with the ice pack in his hand.

"But I think you played very well today! You could have beaten me, remember that blow? You might just be able to grow into a boxer! Maybe it's the first yellow professional boxer in the United States. ”

"Don't laugh at me, I'm a scholar with that heart and talent! You Africans generally have a physical advantage over other peoples and races. You don't object! It's not that God has given Africans two advantages, one is musical talent, and the other is physical fitness. ”

"It's just not for the brain, is it?!" Cody said and glared at Shen Chong.

"No, no! Don't think about it! ”

"Just kidding! I didn't beat you up. ”

"You're scaring me!"

"But do you think we have such an advantage, why can't we produce sports and table tennis gymnastics champions?" Cody said.

"Well, I, I'm sure you'll have a black table tennis champion one day! and gymnastics champions. I mean sincerely. And don't forget that you have a God-given advantage. ”

Cody smiled with wide eyes.

"That's right, Cody. Have you ever fought as a soldier before? I see you've got a lot of real guys on you! You're a master! Why did you put the officer wrong and go home? I'm in my 30s! Isn't it a pity? ”

"I was a paratrooper and fought in the Gulf War. I won't talk about anything else, and you won't be asking. I'm sure you can understand that. Cody went on to say, "Discharged?" I'm tired of life in the army, and I don't want my wife to be sympathetic to me, and we haven't had children for a few years of marriage. I'm just afraid I'm going to go out. Cody's tone suddenly turned deep.

"That's right."

"Do you drink water?" After Cody finished speaking, he handed Shen Chong a bottle of mineral water.

"I'm so thirsty! Thank you. ”

While the two were chatting, the door to Cody's house opened. Cody's wife walked out with her son in her arms.

"Cody! Mr. Shen is also there, hello! Mr. Shen. That's great. You two will help me look at him first, and I'll iron off my clothes. ”

"Ahh Good! Bub! Come and see your Uncle Shen from China. Cody handed the child to Shen Chong.

Shen Chong took this cute little guy and looked at his fleshy little black face and innocent big eyes, just like the full moon reflected in the clear lake water at night, and the child's pure eyes gave people a kind of spiritual purification.

Suddenly, the little guy stretched out his hands, grabbed Shen Chong's two ears and gave Shen Chong a head hammer! Bang! It's quite loud! And the little guy didn't cry, but laughed with a pacifier!

"Yo! Give me an iron! Eighty percent of your son will be used to practice martial arts in the future! Cody! You have to take good care of him! ”

"Violent tendencies in elementary grades? Come on, come back to Daddy! Uncle Shen hurt you! Cody said as he picked up his son and lifted it to his lap, then chatted with Shen Chong.

"I remember you said that this child should be named in September, is this your family ritual?"

"That's half right, Shen. Our family ceremony, waiting for the day when the elders and family members on both sides came and watched him take the name. This is something that my ancestors have handed down. ”

Cody raised his head as he spoke, looking at the full moon in the night sky, and his face suddenly became very serious! The tone was also a little melancholy, as if remembering some of the past.

"You're saying that your ancestors who came to America were,"

"That's right! Sink. I am a descendant of slaves and this ritual was found when I went to Africa a few years ago. Cody said as he picked up one of the ornaments on his chest. It's something like an animal tooth.

"This thing drifted across the ocean to this country with my ancestors when they were taken into slavery, and it can be regarded as a talisman, the only testimony that our descendants are connected to our ancestors in Africa."

"You've been to Africa? I've looked for roots! Also found! That's amazing! You're in luck! Reminds me of Arglis. Kunta from Harry's "Roots"! ”

"Yes, I believe that the ancestors watched me from heaven when this child had a name. I'll put it on him! Passed down from generation to generation. Don't forget my ancestors! Cody was excited.

"I see. By the way, do you still have people in Africa? Refers to your family. Shen Chong choked on his saliva and asked.

"Maybe not, they won't recognize me anymore, and I don't dare to see them, Shen. I look to them now, like the white people I used to be. It's just a little darker. ”

"Oh my God, that's unfortunate." Shen Chong said comfortingly and patted Cody's strong shoulder.

"Forget it! What do you do with those things? As a father now, I just want my children to live well. Earn more money to pay off the loan to buy a house, what about your family? Sink. ”

"Me, my parents went early. It was my grandfather who brought me up and passed on my knowledge and learning. ”

"Is that so? Haha, Shen, when will you still invite me to eat dumplings? My grandfather said that dumplings made by Chinese are the best! ”

"Your grandfather was to China?"

"Shen. My grandfather was a black prisoner of war on your volunteer army. ”

Burst! A sip of water squirted out! "You mean your grandfather goes,"

"That's right, there was a war in North Korea. It was your battle that hastened the collapse of the racial system in the U.S. military, where blacks and whites were previously separated, and then mixed. ”

Cody's thick laughter made Shen Chong laugh silly.

The moon is high in the night sky of Raccoon Town, the stars are dotted, and two people of different skin tones, people from different countries and nationalities, in the crisp summer breeze of Raccoon Town, they feel that friends and neighbors cannot describe their feelings for tonight.

Shen Chong drank the last sip of water in the bottle.

"Alright, it's time for you to rest, and it's time for me to go home." Suddenly! A police car with Raccoon Town Police Station No. 103 written on it came from near and far, stopping in front of Cody's house with its lights flashing.

A black police officer stepped out of the passenger seat and walked towards the two of them.

Depend on! It's not going to catch us! How old has it been? Lao Mei's ability to do things is too high! There are people watching in such a remote place!! CIA?FBI?Is it being tracked! Am I not hurting Cody? When Shen Chong was in his heart, the black policeman walked down.

Shen Chong saw that he still knew him!

"Officer Mabin?!"

"Mr. Shen! Coach Cody? Is that you? ”

"Yes! Can I help you? ”

"Are you disturbing the people?"

"What do you say? Nuisance! We just sat in our own garden at night and chatted! How to disturb the people! Yes! I know! Someone must hate!! ”

"Hey! Extinguish the fire! You should also take a look at the chat! It's 12:45 p.m.! Ladies and gentlemen, now you are talking louder than the engines of the A-10 attack aircraft! ”

"That's it! Cody, don't be angry about this. I'm sorry officer. We talked very speculatively today, so we talked a little more. Sorry, I'm gone, Kody! You're going to rest, too! Fast! Good bye. Shen Chong said and sent Cody into the room before returning to his house.

Shen Chong shrugged his shoulders and walked back to his house.

Seeing this, Mabin also turned around and walked back to his police car, got into the car and closed the door.

"These former soldiers! The anger is always so big! Let's go Jill! Thank you for being a substitute! Let's go have a coffee. ”

"You're welcome, Mabin." After Jill finished speaking, he started the car, and with the roar of the car engine, the police car drove out of the residential area again.

In a nearby dwelling, a curtain fell in a corner.

"Good! They're over! What is there to talk about! It's so annoying!! ”

"William, are you going too far!"

"I'm excessive! You don't know how annoying I've been lately!! Tyrant 2 is finished again!! William said and threw the document far away!

"But you've also said that not every test subject is a candidate for tyrant! It's saying that you're modifying a lot of processes in the middle of the process! ”

"Yes! But I didn't expect it to be over! I'm going to make it perfect! I need a new test subject! When will the next embryo arrive!? Annette! ”

"There will be no test subjects anymore, and the top of Ambrera wants to cancel the tyrant scheme! Move on to other places for research. ”

"Damn, but nothing. I don't want to work for them either! They give too little money! I'm going to change jobs! My dear! William said, taking a sip of wine.

"Leave Ambrera?! You are crazy! Don't drink it! Annette snatched the glass.

"Nope! I didn't, I just wanted to change jobs! I'm sick of it! The smell of the forest here makes me want to vomit!! ”

"William, I want to leave too! But I don't want to do this anymore! I'm scared! You've seen the reactions to those viruses, right? We're not doing it anymore, okay? Resign! Go east or south! I really can't go to Canada or Australia!! I want to get out of here! I'm going to be a doctor! You go and teach as a professor. ”

"Say no more!!" William roared! Annette was taken aback.

"I'm not going there! I'm going to get what I want! I'm going to test subjects now! ”

"There won't be any test subjects! It's over! Don't you understand?! You're crazy! William. Annette raised her voice, too.

"Humph! When did you become so sentimental? You think you're a life-saving doctor! If I'm not mistaken, you also participated in all the research! Inject a virus sample into the subject! Only then do we have a more perfect new product! Dr. Annette! It's like our love! William said.

"What?!"

"That's right! That's when I fell in love with you! You're so cold and glamorous! All you have in mind is work and science! It's so beautiful! But I read it wrong! ”

"You!" Annette didn't speak, turned around and burst into tears.

"Annette, I know. You've changed, and I'm also for our future and Shirley. Don't leave me, okay? I apologize. By October, it'll be over! It's over! I just want to live better, and you won't! We are all one kind of human being. William said ashamedly.

"But isn't what we've gotten and what we've got now? Even if you don't have a tyrant, you can develop new products! Do we still have less capital? ”

"I'm a perfectionist, and I want what others can have. I'm saying that the tyrant itself was developed by me! They want to take it! Dream! Forget it, don't talk about it! Let's rest! I sleep on the couch tonight. Good night! My dear. ”

William walked out of the bedroom on the second floor.
