Chapter 11: Special Strongholds
Lin Chengxu was lying on the hospital bed, he was not very comfortable wearing a ventilator, and he was afraid that he would be ridiculed by his old teammates if he said this.
"Captain, are you awake?" Lu Tong came over with the decoction, his face full of worry.
Lin Chengxu took off the ventilator and threw it aside, as if he had been thrown into a meat grinder and reassembled, the pain was hot.
But he didn't say much, just gasped and asked, "What about Chu Xiao?" ”
"Chu Xiao? You mean the boy in black? It turned out that he was Chu Xiao. There was some admiration in Lu Tong's eyes, "He went to chase Baishu, and he came here this morning, saying that he came to return things, but he has already left." ”
"You didn't stop him?" Lin Chengxu was a little angry, and raised his eyebrows, when will the imperial history allow an unknown person to enter and exit casually?
But this made Lu Tong a little aggrieved, and he cried and said, "No, captain, when we noticed him, there was only a pistol and a note." With that, he handed over the note.
"The pistol will be returned to you, the white book is on the hill in the northern suburbs, and I will use the chess pieces for other purposes, Chu Xiao."
Lin Chengxu's expression changed and asked, "Who has seen this note?" ”
Lu Tong frowned and thought about it, "Many people have seen this, but it's basically inward, what's wrong?" ”
He pondered for a while, then chuckled and shook his head, "It's okay, you told Carmelo about Chu Xiao?" There is no need to say what is not said, after all, it is not our task. ”
"Announce it, and immediately go out to arrest Bai Shu."
And Chu Xiao was in a small remote box at this time, like Song Xiaoxiao's community, this is also a place excluded by the city, but there is a small clinic, the doctor is an old man, and he often helped Chu Xiao's team check the injuries many years ago.
"Oops, Chu Xiao! I haven't seen you for so many years, I thought you were already soaring, why are you still nesting in this small city? The old man didn't need to raise his eyes, staring at the chessboard in front of him, within nineteen lanes.
The two pieces of chess are as energetic as a dragon and tiger fighting, as if they are desperately rushing to kill, but in fact, he is the only one.
"Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time." There was still blood on the corner of Chu Xiao's mouth, and he squeezed out a smile weakly.
"Well, sit." The old man held the chess piece in his hand and hesitated for a long time.
Chu Xiao sat in front of the old man with a lot of holes, and also took out a chess piece from the chess building, but he actually didn't know how to play Go, so he casually found a place where the four characters were connected and put it away.
He said grandiosely: "According to backgammon, I won." ”
The old man was kind-eyed, laughed and didn't blame him, and when he raised his eyes, he said in surprise: "Why is it so badly injured?" ”
Chu Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this a fight with someone, it's okay, I won." ”
He was already in a crumbling state now, and he didn't fall down until he hung in one breath.
The old man put his hand together, and quickly inserted silver needles into several of his acupuncture points, Chu Xiao suddenly felt a lot of energy, and his qi and blood gradually rose.
"The injury is too severe, and it takes a few days to recuperate."
"Can you stop it for a while?" Chu Xiao asked.
"What? Still going to fight? Young people nowadays are really impetuous. ”
Chu Xiao chuckled, and handed the chess pieces in his hand to the old man, "Old man, someone will come to pick up this thing later, can I write another letter to stay here?" ”
The old man nodded, got up and stopped looking at the complicated chess game in front of him, and walked to the medicine cabinet to grab the medicine.
"The location of the warehouse hasn't changed, if you're not in a hurry, come in and have a drink."
Chu Xiao nodded, then entered the small clinic, and put one hand on the ground behind the counter, and the cold touch suddenly entered his heart, it was really ten fingers connected to his heart.
"Fingerprint scan passed."
"Pupil scan passed."
"Vein scan passed."
As the sound of machinery sounded, the counter slowly moved to both sides, the door was opened, like in many technological movies, blue and white lights shone on the interior of the warehouse, and pistols and short knives, communication devices and many other equipment were hung on the walls.
This is the handiwork of the Imperial Weapons Department, as the former first squad, they naturally have their own arsenal.
After simply selecting some equipment, Chu Xiao walked out, and it happened that the old man came out of the backyard with a jar of wine, with irrepressible joy on his face, "It's rare to come back, this is old wine, sixteen years!" About your age. ”
Let's say let's talk about it, the old man opened the cork and took a sharp breath, the aroma of the wine was not afraid of the deep alley, and he was a little drunk just by smelling it.
"Speaking of the little dolls? It's been three years, I'm afraid I forgot about the old man earlier. ”
"Old gentleman...... Xiao Ran and Qianxing ......" Chu Xiao was silent after saying the two names.
"Hey...... I remember when you first came to my clinic, you were chattering all day like a flock of birds hanging on a telephone pole, and I thought you were really annoying at that time. ”
The old man took a sip of wine, then smiled and said, "But then you went out on a mission, and I was still a little uncomfortable when it suddenly became cold." ”
For this old man, Chu Xiao and the others have a very close relationship.
When Chu Xiao's team was first established, there were no large-scale tasks, just some monster removal work in surrounding cities, but at that time, Lin Chengxu was not as good as he is now, and the whole gourd was stuffy, and the techniques were very bad, so after they were injured, they would go to a nearby clinic to see a doctor.
After coming and going, I got acquainted with this old gentleman.
The old man has no children or daughters, but he regards them as children and grandchildren and cares for them very much.
They also regarded this place as the first base, and they would accompany the old man to tease the birds and water the flowers or something, and then they matured and went on missions all over the world, but they would still come back to get together during the New Year's holidays and have fun for two days.
It was arguably the most indulgent time.
After knowing what Chu Xiao and they did, this old gentleman also became the gatekeeper of their team, but after the later incident, Chu Xiao fell silent, Lin Chengxu became the captain, and they didn't come back.
The old man took a sip of wine, and immediately rejoiced, and said to himself, "When I was as old as you, the birds were all hanging on the branches, and they were so lifeless and energetic as they are now."
The rapid development of cities has greatly damaged the world's pristine natural environment, and although human beings have been looking for remedial solutions, the effect has been minimal.
Chu Xiao could only answer vaguely to this, after all, he was only eighteen years old now, and he was already a society with a town as soon as he was born, and he had never seen any beautiful landscapes, so naturally he would not have any feelings.
Seeing that he was not interested in this topic, the old man changed the subject.
Chu Xiao is not a nostalgic person, but after he took a big sip of wine, he suddenly smiled, "Old man, you don't know, Xiao Ran said that she likes me!" It's just that I'm too stupid to dare to confess to her before. ”
After he finished speaking, he took a big sip of wine, it smelled fragrant, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, and when he took a sip, it was as if it was burning, and he instantly went up and was dizzy.
The old man snatched back the wine glass, protected it in his arms, looked a little picky, squinted and raised his eyebrows, and said, "Can you kid do it?" Don't spoil my good wine! ”
Chu Xiao laughed, waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm already a little dizzy." ”
"But...... Glad! After drinking this wine, the past is gone. ”
