Chapter 30: Entering the Battlefield
The next afternoon, Qi Xiao was lying in his room looking at the computer.
Wang Zhe yawned, with a pair of panda eyes, and walked in.
"What's the matter?"
"It's okay......" Wang Zhe was confused for a while, then lowered his head and asked seriously: "I heard that you saw an erhu asking for food on the road in the morning, and you pulled it for him all morning?" ”
"Ah, why don't you have nothing to do if you're not idle......"
"We sorted out the ...... for a day and a night," Wang Zhe said sadly.
"Did you buy the bath towel you bought for me?" Qi Xiao asked.
"The United States can't buy the kind of bath towels we make, so I'll go to Flushing tomorrow to try it." Wang Zhe threw himself on Qi Xiao's recliner and lay on his back to talk to him. After losing his initial awe, he had completely treated Qi Xiao as a difficult child.
"And did the Americans bathe in a steel wool ball?" Qi Xiao questioned.
"What do you have to rub a towel for?"
"I don't have a bath towel, I don't feel like I can wash my soul." Qi Xiao raised his head, looked out the window and said in a slightly deep voice.
"What's the difference between a bath towel and a regular bath towel?" Wang Zhe looked at Qi Xiao with some tears and laughter.
"This ...... How do I explain this to you, a southerner? Overall, the difference is huge, and the sense of accomplishment is really indescribable. ”
"You're not looking for a bath towel, it's loneliness! I'll buy you a dishcloth tomorrow! Wang Zhe stood up and walked to Qi Xiao's bedside.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Your contract is down." Wang Zhe said solemnly, and handed Qi Xiao a document at the same time.
Qi Xiao picked up the contract and saw that it read:
"First: I, the undersigned, confirm and understand that I have joined the Special Forces of the United Nations Defenders of the United Nations on a purely voluntary basis, without any threat and with a willingness to serve for at least two years. At the same time, I understand that in a state of war, or in the case of the issuance of a relevant order, this period of service may be extended indefinitely by friendly consultation between the two sides. ”
"Second: I understand that volunteering to join the UN Defenders Special Forces means that I am willing to carry weapons and use them against the enemies of UN member states, which will potentially include other human beings. During my service, I could not refuse to be drafted in violation of orders or under the pretext of religious and moral obligations, in order to avoid fighting. ”
"I've been sold to the United Nations, and there's a bird to use this?" Qi Xiao muttered dissatisfied.
"Thirdly, I understand and agree that I will faithfully and sparingly carry out the orders and instructions given by my superiors in accordance with the Uniform Code of Conduct for United Nations Peacekeeping Forces."
"My supervisor is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, but how many people are there in her head? There are five who have the right of veto, and there are ten who do not have the right of veto. Qi Xiao commented disdainfully.
"Fourth: I understand that volunteering to join the Special Forces for the Defenders of the United Nations will have absolute diplomatic immunity from any country within the United Nations, and enjoy unconditional immunity from jurisdiction, litigation and execution; In addition, he will have all the powers and benefits of a United Nations Special Envoy for Foreign Affairs, and I will pledge not to abuse that authority. ”
"It's kind of funny, as if they can control me." Qi Xiao smiled, didn't look at the terms behind, took the pen handed over by Wang Zhe and prepared to sign.
But when he flipped through it, he found the last one.
"Twenty-three: I understand that, within seventy-two hours after the signing of this document, military operations for the maintenance or restoration of international peace and security shall be immediately put into action, failing which all acquired rights and benefits shall cease to exist. After that, all actions cannot be protected by law. ”
Qi Xiao was stunned: "You're about to leave so soon?" ”
Wang Zhe looked at Qi Xiao and nodded: "Yes." ”
Qi Xiao signed happily.
Wang Zhe took the contract: "In three days, a pre-war conference will be held at the United Nations Conference Center, you have to attend, after the meeting, your plane will depart from here and rush to the Middle East, and there will be our people to greet you at the base over there." Once there, you're under the control of a United Nations maintenance force. ”
"The United Nations recommends that you prepare early, pack your bags in these days, and say goodbye to the people you should say goodbye to."
"Hmm." Qi Xiao nodded, "Is there anything else?" ”
“…… It's okay. Wang Zhe walked around the room again, looked at Qi Xiao's thoughtful expression, let out a fart, and went out.
Qi Xiao sat on the bed for a long time, and suddenly remembered: "I used to call my mother, I don't know what she is doing now?" ”
He casually dialed the phone and heard a man pick it up.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
"Uh......" Qi Xiao was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar voice, "Hello, this is the Federal Insurance Company, do you need personal accident insurance?" ”
"Then you can give me a detailed introduction, I just want to buy it." The man on the other side replied cheerfully. "Oh......" Qi Xiao hung up the phone casually.
"It's sold out so quickly......
He suddenly felt as if he had been abandoned, lay lazily for a while, changed his clothes, walked out of the room, and went downstairs.
"I'll give you oranges," in the hall, Zhao Qianyu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw Qi Xiao going downstairs, he shouted at him.
Qi Xiao's heart warmed, and he stepped forward to take it, but he took a full hand of orange peel.
"Even my servants are full of malice towards me."
"Haha, don't be so depressed, you're going to go on an expedition, relax yourself." Zhao Qianyu smiled and handed him a peeled orange.
Qi Xiao sat beside Zhao Qianyu, eating oranges petal by petal, and he looked ahead: "What will you do after I leave?" ”
"Keep staying here and waiting for you to come back."
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs still has a conscience, so leave me a caretaker." Qi Xiao sighed: "Don't forget to feed the dogs." ”
The golden retriever, who had just reached the full moon, seemed to notice Qi Xiao's gaze and snorted on the carpet.
"I can't forget it, you can rest assured, Wang Zhe will take care of him." Zhao Qianyu said with a smile.
"I don't think you can even take care of yourself. Who will cook for you when I'm gone? Qi Xiao turned his face.
"What are you secretly eating, and is there anything else?" He suddenly found that Zhao Qianyu turned around and was tearing some packaging.
Zhao Qianyu was shocked, her face turned red all of a sudden, she threw a bag of things on Qi Xiao's head, and said resentfully: "The eyes are so sharp, the eldest aunt is here, I will wrap you in sanitary napkins to eat." ”
The two laughed for a while, and Zhao Qianyu suddenly raised his eyes to look at Qi Xiao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "It's like a family." ”
"Who's with you, get out!" Qi Xiao snorted angrily.
"Humph!" Zhao Qianyu wrinkled his little nose, glanced at him in disgust, and took a vicious bite of the orange.
"Ahh Zhao Qianyu suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh, what's wrong?" Qi Xiao turned his head again, looked at Zhao Qianyu's two hands on his cheeks to make a flower, and quipped: "Why do you sell cute?" ”
"Orange-sub-too-big-jaw, jaw ...... Dropped. Zhao Qianyu said vaguely.
"I'll get it for you." Qi Xiao stretched out his hand.
"No, you don't." Zhao Qianyu suddenly raised his hand, aimed at his chin, and then moved his chin: "Okay." ”
"What a woman!" Qi Xiao didn't expect her to be so cruel to herself.
"After coming here, it's dropped several times, and the buns you made are too big......," Zhao Qianyu said resentfully.
"What do you want to eat at night?" Qi Xiao stood up, looking for something to do.
"Pizza."
"What do you do with that stuff?"
"It's going to have to be different."
"Then you can call Pizza Hut and order takeout." Qi Xiao waved his hand, picked up the puppy and walked around the hall.
Zhao Qianyu picked up the phone: "Hey, Pizza Hut, do you have pizza?" ”
"Yes."
Qi Xiao walked to the refrigerator and opened it: "We still have it in the refrigerator, so you don't need to order it." ”
Zhao Qianyu choked for a moment, and then said into the phone: "Hehe, I have it at home." ”
"It's fine in the microwave." Qi Xiao suddenly became lazy and lazy for a moment, as if he had lost his goal.
"Ring, ring, ring, ......" Qi Xiao's phone rang suddenly.
He saw that it was Jacques's phone and hurriedly answered it: "What's the matter?" ”
"Come out quickly, something's wrong, I'm dying."
"What's the matter?" As soon as Qi Xiao raised his hand, a strong wind blew, and the coat flew to his side in an instant.
As he hurriedly dressed, he walked out of the room and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Coming out?"
"Well, where are you?"
"Your door, go, take you out to play." Jacques on the phone said with a hippie smile,
"Uncle Day!" Qi Xiao scolded angrily, then turned back to Zhao Qianyu and said, "I went out with Jacques." ”
Jacques wore bells and whistles, stood at the door of Qi Xiao's apartment, watched him come out, and asked with a smile, "You received that contract." ”
"Well, you got it too."
"Nonsense, of course."
"And what are you going to do?"
"Of course we have to have fun," Jacques said with a smile, "you know, we may be going to die, and before we leave, we have to do everything we want to do but haven't done." ”
The two men walked through the streets of New York City to the door of a small supermarket.
"Look." Jacques patted Qi Xiao on the shoulder, leaned close to his ear and said a word, then swaggered into the supermarket, picked up a bottle of drink at random, and drank it in the surprised eyes of everyone.
Then, without waiting for the security guard to come, he handed the bottle cap to the salesperson and swaggered away.
The salesperson looked at the bottle cap and was stunned: onemore. (One more bottle)
"That's what you've always wanted to do?" Qi Xiao looked at Jacques and said a little ridiculously.
"Yes, I have extraordinary strength and deserve that kind of astonishing, adoring look, but what...... I've been living in the shadows. Low-key like a rat in the gutter. Jacques replied calmly.
