Chapter 55: The Silent Rhinoceros
Noisy environment, snake-like teams, impetuous crowds. In this hot era, nothing is more infuriating and anxious than being a cashier in a supermarket, because people living in a fast-paced world, everyone's time is precious, beautiful girlfriend in front, elderly mother in the back, no one seems to want to waste a minute to give to others.
But Wang Peng is this piece of material, he is calm and calm, not surprised, the big man of one meter nine stands at the front of the team, no matter how the people around him wash his dark scar face with impatient eyes, he still calmly, slowly, orderly pick up a piece of goods to scan the code, whether it is in the face of unreasonable or polite, he faces it with a smile and calm. Perhaps for him, the rare peace was the only reason for him to accept this job that he was often angry about, and it was this rare peace that made him like a time bomb, exuding a dangerous light all the time.
At ten o'clock, "Coming Home" had already begun to play in the supermarket, and the customers were still coming out, smiling and nodding, and let him spend the long three hours. And for these three hours, he had not forgotten to look at the man leaning not far away, and he had waited for himself for three hours, and had done nothing but leaning against the wall on the side.
"Hello, may I ask ......" he walked up to the man after work.
"I'll invite you to dinner." The man walked towards the door, his experience on the battlefield five years ago had given him a keen eye to pierce the truth, making him judge from the pace of his pace, the habit of throwing paper balls, and the way he opened the door.
Follow the man to a hot pot restaurant, at this time, it is still boiling, and in the noise, no one cares about the conversation in a private room.
"My name is Sen Yu, and I know you are Wang Peng." After ordering. The other party spoke first.
"Python?" Wang Peng looked at the other party's eyes, and it was so sharp that he couldn't help but look down at the wine list. He was familiar with the name, and before he retired, he had heard of the name of the Sunset Empire, a dangerous mercenary organization that had repeatedly fought with the "Ant Nest" alliance against bandits. Therefore, it has always been crowned with the title of "model mercenary group". But for some reason, two years ago, this mighty empire suddenly disappeared, and the "ant nest" continued their actions, but no one mentioned "sunset" again, and no one looked for its trace.
"You know that I have been retired for five years and have gradually become accustomed to a dull life, what is the matter with people like you looking for me?" Wang Peng asked.
'Habit?' The 'rhinoceros' title is not for nothing. The Mori Python took the beer handed by the waiter and smiled, opened it and poured it. Former vice-captain of the 'Flying Wolf Commando'. How is it possible that an elite who has broken five world records in one year can get used to such a bland and surprising life in just five years? Perhaps, when you refused the invitation of the 'ant nest', you didn't want to step into military strife again, but with the polishing of time, your heart became more and more entangled, precisely because you have been away from the battlefield for too long and too long, but the muscles in your body have not lost much. It's that makes you hypocritical. ”
"Hypocrisy? Why? ”
"For three hours, you didn't break a single sweat in such impatient conditions. Prove that you don't care who dares to trouble you, how much money you make every day, and who will quarrel with you for some reason. For three hours, you have been paying attention to me, proving that the military career has become a part of your life, and I think in your spare time. Tearing your muscles at the gym will be your only way to vent. ”
"You've been keeping an eye on me?"
"How is it possible, you know how difficult it is to track down an elite veteran without being detected by him, but it is much easier to check the visitor records of major gyms." The forest python approached Wang Peng. "I know you've been waiting for a chance to get back on the battlefield, and your no-nonsense attitude proves that. You have been recuperating, and you are unwilling to be robbed of the evil spirit of the year by life. ”
Wang Peng looked at the forest python, did not affirm or shake his head, he picked up the beer on the side and tasted it, and took this opportunity to think about something.
"I know you doubt my identity. Yes, I'm the kind of bad guy you're worried about, but I'm also the kind of teammate you're looking for. The horns of the vine raised the corners of his mouth. Anyone who has dealt with the 'Ant Nest' knows Tengger Prison, which houses some of the most dangerous criminals in the world, and unfortunately, I was once one of them. Now that the 'Ant Nest' has been dismantled, but their minions are not gone, I need a good team to help me get my revenge. ”
"That's your business." After Sen Yu finished speaking, Wang Peng replied dryly. "Now that you know that I have retired from military life, you will not participate in your revenge plan."
"Indeed, for a person like you who sees everything from the bloody storm, revenge is just a swamp that appears by chance in life, and once you fall into it, you will not be able to extricate yourself, for me, I just can't let go of the attachment in my heart, and for you, it may be a new life."
"Freshmen?" Wang Peng asked without raising his head as he put the meat slices into the hot pot.
"You have been waiting for another point in your life, life before the age of thirty is like a struggle, although your life has been valued, but there is no respite to taste the fruits of victory, and then, you have fallen into the same life, with high casual fees, did not go to business, did not travel, did not go to live a luxurious and erosive life, because your life has lost its pursuit, no pursuit means loss of vitality, I think what you have been looking for is to be able to arouse the vitality of your life."
After Mori finished speaking, Wang Peng turned his gaze to him. A person who has been willing to live an unchanged life for five years after retiring from the army has an unprecedented strength in itself, which comes from the yearning for peace because of the suffering of war, and even more so the desire for war after accumulating energy in the ordinary. At such a close distance, Sen Yu could already feel the resentment in Wang Peng's heart, which was indeed a kind of unwillingness, which could be found just by looking at the slices of meat that were gradually cooked in the hot pot with expectant eyes.
"No, your reasons aren't enough." But in the end, Wang Peng shook his head.
"It's okay, after eating, I'll take you somewhere." Sen Yu smiled happily, for him, Wang Peng's denial proved his affirmation, since he wanted a good reason, Sen Yu gave him a good reason, after all, he was already a man who had walked to the edge, and he still needed a slope for him to go down smoothly.
After eating, Mori drove him to a middle school, and Wang Peng was surprised because this was his nephew's middle school, who had just started junior high school this year. Sen Yu took him to a corner of the school, where there was an abandoned unfinished building, the two walked on the edge, Sen Yu took out a telescope and looked ahead, and then handed it to Wang Peng, Wang Peng looked, in the telescope, his nephew was sitting in a corner of the playground, looking at the little friend who was playing football with expectant eyes.
"How dare you threaten me!" Putting down the binoculars, Wang Peng glared angrily.
"Yes, there is something that threatens you, but it's not me, it's a limitation. Your nephew wants to be able to play football on the playground, but you want to find the dignity of a man on the battlefield. I know that dignity is vital to you, so instead of talking to you about your nephew, I talked about something that would evoke hope in you. Mori took out a bank card. I'm sorry I sent someone to inquire about your nephew, his illness is indeed not a simple matter, which is also the reason why you have been obscure all these years, but with this money, you can liberate yourself and your nephew, and neither of you owes anyone. ”
Surprise appeared on the face of this fierce and brave man, who looked down at the bank card and then at the forest worm, and at this time he was looking at the playground in front of him, smiling at the cheerful children.
"Don't you envy these carefree children, so do I, their battlefield is the court, success or failure Wang Kou seems insignificant, but they regard it as a treasure one by one, and for us, winning or losing is life and death, but we don't want to care about winning or losing."
"For both the victors and the losers, war means the loss of precious things, some of which are human, some of which are feelings, some of which are physical parts, and some of which are spiritual beliefs." Wang Peng picked up the bank card and stuffed it back into the forest.
"Now that you know my secret, I want to hear about you, why are you so obsessed with the 'Ant Nest'?"
"Shaq, of course. Gray and his daughter sent me to Tengger Prison, where I spent four or five years in an inhuman life, hell, a struggle of humanity, and I couldn't just forget it. Sen Yu had a smile on his face, and his heart was like a knife, no matter who mentioned his life in Tengger, he would feel an inexplicable sense of loss.
"Then you're going to fight Shaq. Gray? He's the commander of the 'Ant Nest'. ”
"Nope." Mori denied. "I've killed Shaq. Gray, this time, it's his daughter Martha's turn. ”
Hearing this, Wang Peng was even more surprised, he would not have thought that this slightly gentle man in front of him would actually kill the commander of the "ant nest".
"If it wasn't for Martha's sneak attack, I wouldn't have entered Tengger, I was Shak. Gray's apprentice had no intention of killing him, but it backfired, and everything was fate. ”
Wang Peng nodded.
"I've considered your suggestion, and this time I've decided to live for myself, but I can't take your money, I've always disliked owing others."
Sen Yu turned his head to look at Wang Peng, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled.
"I knew you would say that, this is actually an empty card, and I have already paid for your nephew's medical expenses." He patted the rhinoceros on the shoulder, hummed a little song contentedly, and walked downstairs. (To be continued......)
