Chapter 43: The Yearning for Freedom
The underground of this small bar turned out to be an arsenal, and Fan Li now understood why Wu Meiyan and Xie Ling chose to live a quiet life here. Xie Ling opened a dark wall with short knives and darts stuck in the mezzanine, and she went around to the side and pulled a flamethrower out of a pile of guns.
"Wait, didn't you book a ticket? Are you sure this thing can get on a plane? Fan Li stopped in front of Xie Ling and briefly looked at the flamethrower, this guy was about one meter five in length, and the caliber was about five centimeters. Fan Li has seen such a weapon in the movie, and during World War II, Chinese soldiers also used this thing, but they had to install a pair or three side-by-side cylindrical barrels on the back, called oil bottles, and the oil bottles and the gun body were connected by oil pipes. However, the one in Xie Ling's hand was obviously different from those, it was obviously longer than that flamethrower, there were no oil bottles and oil pipes, and the back of the gun was strangely swollen. If you carry this thing on the plane, let alone walk to the security checkpoint, it is estimated that before you reach the airport, you will already be surrounded by police personnel, and you may even be sent to prison.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Xie Ling passed by Fan Li and placed the flamethrower in the trunk of the car.
"Xie Ling is outspoken and doesn't like to beat around the bush." Wu Meiyan's voice came from behind Fan Li. She was wearing a dark blue outfit and body armor, looking heroic and queenly. She pointed to the other clothes in the warehouse and said, "Of course we won't walk over directly, how scary, we have documents, you all have to wear such clothes, and then you can go through the special passage." Alas, if it hadn't come so suddenly, and we couldn't hire a pilot in a short time, maybe we would have been able to use a private jet, but it's a pity! ”
Private Jets? He heard it right, what the hell are these two guys coming from, a guy who runs a chain bar will have a private jet? However, looking back at the equipment in this warehouse, it should be a lot of expenses.
"Don't be stunned, take whatever you want, who can guarantee what you will see in Youdu." Xie Ling touched Fan Li. "And your friends."
"I'll do it with just a bow and a short knife." Jialan nodded to Xie Ling. "As for Kai Crossbow, he probably doesn't need anything in his current state."
"Yes, I'm an iron man." Kai crossbow smirked at Xie Ling.
"Don't worry, we are all people with a lot of experience in going to the tomb, and this time we have been affected again, so there is no problem." Fan Li said.
At noon, they were ready, and Wu Meiyan drove them to the airport in an off-road vehicle. As soon as he walked down from the airport, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, but these eyes were not attracted by special equipment, but by the highest-looking Wu Meiyan who walked in the front. They swaggered to the special passage, Wu Meiyan showed the security personnel the documents, they nodded, and let them in without even passing the security check.
"Wow! Entering the airport so smoothly for the first time ever! Fan Li sighed.
"It's also thanks to the 'ant nest', if it weren't for their strange special documents, I'm afraid we would have to travel lightly."
"If you want to exploit loopholes, can you bring anything?" Fan Li thought of a lot of illegal things, such as drugs, guns and ammunition.
"Back then, Ziyang liked to drill loopholes, and often brought some cobras or highly venomous scorpions, what is the name of the scorpion, I have forgotten the name." Wu Meiyan said as she walked. They walked directly to the VIP lounge, where there were two men in suits with fat heads and big ears.
It was the first time for Fan Li to enter the VIP room, he always looked outside, and wanted to know if there was something different in it, in fact, it was no different when he walked in, that is, there was a sofa, and it was very comfortable to sit up. The two fat men kept looking this way, most of them focusing on Wu Meiyan's face and Xie Ling's flamethrower. They were probably guessing how old they were and what the flamethrower was for, and it was disgusting to see their greedy looks.
"You say you have private jets, so I want to know where private jets are usually parked when they are not in use? There is no private airport. Fan asked Li.
"It's also a private airport, if Mingyue is here, you should be able to afford a private airport, people like us can only be hosted here, but now the planes are almost abandoned, and I haven't taken my own plane for a long time." Wu Meiyan sighed, pretending to be sad, mixed with mockery of herself.
"Didn't you sell your plane?" Xie Ling walked over from the water connection and happened to hear Wu Meiyan's words.
"Sold?" Wu Meiyan was quite surprised when she heard this. "Is it sold? It seems that it was really sold, no, where did the money from the sale go? ”
"Donated, donated to some disabled people, there were still some left, so I made an album for Beipiaoer in the bar." Xie Ling was unhurried when he said this, as if such a large donation was commonplace.
"I donated? Why am I so lacking in heart? However, Wu Meiyan seemed to care about the money very much, and turned her head to look at Xie Ling, who looked calm, Xie Ling raised the huge watch, and then grinned.
"Four months ago, when we participated in a charity performance for the disabled, you were so moved that you cried so much that you called on the spot and sold the plane."
After hearing this, Wu Meiyan was like hearing a thunderbolt from the sky, and turned around and collapsed on the chair.
"It's over, it's over!"
"I knew you would say that, you were drunk high at the time, impulsive, I couldn't stop you from doing good deeds, so I didn't stop you, now I know that I regret it, you are a person of temperament, what do you want to come out of is one place, and Yu Ning is the same."
"I'm not sorry for my money, I'm sorry for my knife, I just modified the airplane's warehouse, and changed the innermost warehouse into my private storage room, which stores a lot of limited edition sabers, some of which were given to me by the master, it's over, it's all gone!"
Fan Li inadvertently glanced at the fat man when he heard this, and found that the two of them had completely lost their voices, lowering their heads and obviously eavesdropping on the conversation between Wu Meiyan and Xie Ling.
After boarding the plane, Fan Li said the expressions of the two fat men just now to Wu Meiyan, she still looked like she was crying and mourning, as if she didn't care about the expressions of the two people at all.
"Fan Li, you misunderstood, we didn't mean to be angry with those two people, what Mei Niang said is true."
"Really?" It was Kai Ballet who shouted this, and he almost knocked the champagne that had just been handed over to the ground.
"Okay, let's get down to business, if you talk and laugh, aren't you worried about Yu Ning's safety?" Fan Li said.
"Of course I'm worried, haven't we all already put it into action." Wu Meiyan said while sipping champagne. "There are a lot of people in this world who only talk big but don't put them into action, but there are also many people who don't act well because of the tense atmosphere, so we learned to relax before the war, just like in some movies, a few soldiers sit in the plane, talk and laugh, and the result is ...... for a while. Bang! All dead! Hahahaha! Wu Meiyan laughed debauchedly and said so many unlucky things that it attracted the glares of the passengers in front and behind.
"That'...... Don't you have any worries? Kai asked again.
"Yes, why not." Wu Meiyan sighed very contrivedly. "Alas, people like us, who are fine today, may be gone at some point. If you don't enjoy happiness, it's too miserable, life is very miserable, and if you think about tragic things every day, isn't it self-abuse? After Wu Meiyan finished speaking, the people around her cast sympathetic glances, they were all wearing uniforms, it was easy for people to think that they were soldiers on the battlefield, Wu Meiyan's move was really ruthless.
"I've been on assignments since the time you were in high school, so I'm in the army. When I was nineteen years old, a bullet slashed my ear and hit my comrade-in-arms, and when I returned from the war, the team selected someone to send this comrade-in-arms back to my hometown, and I went at that time. The comrade-in-arms is about thirty years old, has a one-year-old son, and his wife is very beautiful, but a little watery Yanghua, and the four of us went back with his body. When he saw his body, his parents cried like tears, but I had a little envy, because he still had his parents, and what about my parents? They were far away and never treated me as a person. Later, when I was on a mission, I told my godfather that I would be allowed to do all difficult tasks, and I was not afraid of death. Later, more and more people fell to me, and I survived until the end. At that time, I realized, just like Ziyang said, you have ridiculed fate countless times, complained about fate, and in the end you still have to follow the route set by fate, God can't hear you, only you and the people around you can hear, based on this alone, why shouldn't you be happy? ”
Fan Li was silent after hearing this, he found that Kai Crossbow and Jia Lan were also thinking about something with their heads down, the young Wu Meiyan had experienced countless life and death wars, and she was very open to the issue of life and death, so she was atmospheric enough, and atmospheric people were naturally able to do a good job. But when you look up at her seductive face and delicate skin, how can you expect that she was once a heroic figure.
"What about you? Xie Ling, tell me your story. Fan Li turned to Xie Ling, but Xie Ling just raised the corners of his mouth.
"It's often a hobby to talk about home, and I don't like to tell my own stories." She replied.
"In fact, Yu Ning is like me, she has experienced countless lives and deaths during her one-year internship, and the battlefield is a cruel place. I still remember that when Yu Ning just came back, she seemed to see everything in the world, and just wanted to carry out the next task with a clear conscience, but what about after seeing Ziyang? But she found that no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she looked at it, she couldn't get past her own level, and she was always anesthetizing herself with the poison of reality, so in the next year, in the company of Ziyang, she woke up, but she was severely hit. Wu Meiyan continued.
"In this way, each of you has paid a lot on the road of Ziyang."
"But it's also happy, you can't imagine that happiness, it's the indulgence that comes with freedom and the longing that has been born out of pressure for a long time." Wu Meiyan squinted at the ceiling. "It's just that everybody wants to have that kind of freedom, but the price to pay is too great. Ziyang said that if you can't be free when you're young, then you lose the meaning of being young. ”
Listening to Wu Meiyan's words, the picture of practicing the art of stealing spirits with Jialan when he was a child is vivid. Because of his family, he only went to junior high school, and he didn't understand the pressure after high school, and he didn't understand the disappointment in college, but when he stepped into his life after the age of twenty, he found that many young people around him seemed to be missing something.
"To live is to have passion, otherwise why live so painfully, sometimes, responsibility forces people too badly, I don't know if a few of you have heard of such a person, in mythology, his name is Freedem, that is, freedom, he represents freedom."
...... of Fredem Fan Li's brain was stunned, and he looked at Wu Meiyan, but at this moment, Wu Meiyan was already drowsy with an eye patch, her mouth was open and closed, but Fan Li's brain couldn't listen to her, and her ears were full of Freidem's name, shouldn't that be a dream that only belonged to him, could it be that Wu Meiyan had seen the beautiful grassland and red drinks like him?
