Carl and I drove the carriage and the well-fed craftsmen all the way to the small town of Wenzhe.

When I saw the familiar houses and streets of the town, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Since I entered the city, in just a few days, I have wanted to go back to the town more than once, and live my old life in peace, but I found that I could not go back, and I knew many people, and these people were absurd. For example, the runaway eldest lady Piyu, the eccentric Tomoko, the cold Luna, the jewelry store owner who fell into the money eye, the fat chef of the world, and a ridiculous teenager by my side at the moment.

In just a few days, a lot of things happened, and these things were even more absurd, I "saved" Piyu in a daze, took in a Japanese apprentice in a bar, was blasted out of the bathroom by Luna with a gun, ran to the Hokkaido Martial Arts Road Kick Hall, jumped into the lake to get a cheap bracelet but lost my clothes again, pretended to be a savage to attack Xiaobu, fooled the mayor's wife in the hospital, and asked Anne to make Piyuone a future daughter-in-law, and then ran to the barracks as a soldier to enlist, and became a deserter on the first day, and a big boy whose identity is still unknown to carry out the so-called "Swift Project......

I don't really like this kind of life, in my mind, I should be a hunter in the wasteland, I go to the wasteland every day to hunt, and then sell the game to the restaurant, and that's it, and finally marry a virtuous wife, she likes to grow vegetables, flowers, and serve every day, and never tire of it. We walked around the town every morning and dusk, and spent the first day leisurely, and when I thought of this, the shadow of Luna came to my mind.

It's a pity that Wood said that Luna's ambition is to study medicine. Because her mother died of a bad heart, Luna, who was strong, resolutely chose to practice medicine and specialize in the heart. From this point of view, Luna has great love, and she is destined not to stay in the town with me.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little regretful in my heart.

The town is still that town, there is no unified planning, the houses are built in a mess, there are beautiful villas, there are also civilian houses, and the shacks of the poor people, about people gather in kind, the rich people gather in the north, the villas of various styles are refreshing, and the civilians live in the middle of the town on both sides of the street, and the houses of the poor families are concentrated in the southwest corner of the town, although it is not large, it is the largest and most lively place. My little friend Nemo lives there.

My family house was on the edge of the town, and in my early years my father bought a hill on the west side of the town and turned it into a vegetable garden. Later, a house was purchased on the western edge of the town, so that it was easy to travel between the vegetable garden and the house.

I asked Carl to drive the wagon to the vegetable garden, which was built on the hill. My father made a wooden board and wrote the words "Kyushu Vegetable Garden" in kanji on the side of the gate, but I don't know what the purpose is.

My father came out of the house as soon as he saw me, and when he saw me, he was very excited and asked in a low voice, "Are you all back?"

I nodded, "It's all outside," my father hugged me, "Good boy!" ”

But when my father saw the carriage, his brows furrowed, obviously worried, he did not expect that I would come back with these Chinese craftsmen swaggering. Where is this smuggling?

I briefly explained what had happened to my father, and he finally said, "Let's take everyone into the vegetable garden first." ”

I first introduced my father and Carl to each other, and those craftsmen had never met my father, but when I saw that my father was Chinese, I also knew that I had finally met the main master, and my face was a little excited.

There was a row of houses in the vegetable garden, which my father had simply cleaned up.

Uncle Shi walked up to his father, "You are Boss Shen?" The father replied politely: "Uncle Shi, don't call me that, you can just call me brother." ”

Uncle Shi smiled: "There are still rules." It's good to arrive, and now you can rest assured. Then he called the strong man, "Pillar, you go and arrange everyone's house." "The people followed the pillars.

Uncle Shi asked about Du Xinwu's injury again, and his father reassured him that Du Xinwu was fine.

Carl walked over, frowned, and said, "Brother, the accommodation conditions here are too poor, how can you arrange such a room for grandpa and them?" ”

Uncle Shi didn't understand what Carl was talking about, so I translated for him. The old man smiled, "This is already good," and turned to his father and said, "Let's go up the hill for a walk!" ”

The father said, "Don't worry, uncle, you can rest for a while." ”

Uncle Shi said disapprerovingly: "After taking the car all the way, it's time to move your muscles." ”

So, my father accompanied Uncle Shi to the mountain, and Carl and I followed.

The whole hill was terraced by my father, and the terraced fields were like stairs to the top of the mountain, and they were like ribbons wrapped around the mountains. There are all kinds of vegetables planted in it, some are blooming, some are bearing fruit, some are lying on the ground, some are climbing bamboo poles to build a shelf, and some are like crescents in the terraces, which are filled with crystal water, and there are some tender green seedlings growing slowly in the water.

Uncle Shi's face bloomed with a different smile, "When I was a child, I heard a gentleman from a private school talk about a paradise, saying that a Wuling person passed through a cave to a paradise, where people fled to this place to avoid the war in the Qin Dynasty and lived for generations. When the Wuling people wanted to go to that paradise for the second time, they couldn't find it anymore. At that time, I wondered where this paradise was. Unexpectedly, when I got old, I went to Australia to find such a place. ”

The father sighed, "Where is there a paradise?" We Chinese operate here, and we also have to pay heavy taxes, and we also have all kinds of food and cards, and we have to suffer a lot of humiliation. Moreover, Australia has implemented a white Australia policy in recent years, and they believe that Australia should be a white Australia, and other people of color should not appear here. Now all people who come to Australia cannot obtain long-term residency in Australia, otherwise they will not let everyone smuggle over. ”

Uncle Shi shook Bai Huahua's head, "At least don't fight!" ”

The father was silent.

Uncle Shi didn't know the situation in Australia, he thought too simply, just one smuggling was enough to kill everyone present.

On the mountainside of the hill, there is a cave, my father originally planned to dig a vegetable cellar, and when he organized the workers to dig the mountain, he dug up a lot of beautiful stones, and later he went to the city to find the money eye identification, only to know that it was turquoise.

Uncle Shi picked up a stone in the cave, held it in his palm and observed it carefully, and looked at his father in surprise: "Brother, you can be a baby." ”

Father smiled, "That's why you were invited from afar." You take a closer look. ”

Uncle Shi beckoned to Carl, "Kid, take out the piece of jade I gave you." ”

Carl Yiyan took out the piece of jade Ruyi, the old man held the stone in one hand and the jade Ruyi in the other, his eyes narrowed into a slit, looked at the sun, and exclaimed: "One is jade, the other is turquoise, which is better, that is the benevolent and the wise." Turquoise has the saying of the stone of success, although it is called turquoise, but the color is different, blue is the majority, there are sky blue, light blue, green blue, pale white with green head, which is naturally green as the best, the turquoise stone here is uniform in color, the luster is soft, and there is no iron wire, it is definitely the best stone, as long as it is carefully crafted, do not worry about not selling at a good price. ”

After speaking, he returned the piece of jade Ruyi to Carl.

Carl also picked up a stone from the ground, followed the example of Uncle Shi, looked at the sun, but couldn't see the reason, "Grandpa, these stones are just transparent, why don't I see what's good?" ”

Old Uncle Shi laughed, "Silly boy, how do you know." After saying that, he let out a long breath and explained to us.

"You are not wrong when you say that this is a stone, jade is originally a type of stone, but it is just those beautiful stones."

"Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, people love jade, especially we Chinese like jade even more, in the minds of Chinese, jade represents a gentleman, the poetry scripture does not say that there is a Fei gentleman, such as cutting like a consultation, such as grinding, jade also represents beauty, Du Mu does not have twenty-four bridges and bright moon nights, where does the jade teach the verses of the, jade also represents peace, we often say that the dry fight is jade, jade also represents the country, the emperor's jade seal is not called jade seal?"

"Chinese like nephrite, Hetian jade is a typical nephrite, foreigners like jadeite, such as diamonds, agate, crystal, including this kind of turquoise, especially the Ottomans, love this turquoise to the point of madness, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the national stone of the Ottomans, once the Ottomans commissioned me to carve some turquoise for them."

Carl suddenly realized, "I understand, why grandpa you can endure such a living environment, it turns out that you want to create art here." ”

I cursed in my heart, bastard, you know a fart! From the very beginning, this innocent big boy lived in his own imagination. However, in order to keep Carl a secret, he had to continue to fool him.

I patted Karl, "Clever, what these artists need is to create art here calmly, and you have to remember to never tell anyone about their tracks, remember that it is anyone, otherwise they will be very dangerous." This is probably the hardest part of our Swift program to complete, you know? ”

Karl stood up and said, "Understood! Then he asked softly, "Can I come to see my grandfather often?" ”

I thought for a moment, "Yes, I'll come with you and be your interpreter." ”

Carl was finally satisfied.

As we left the garden, Carl looked back from time to time.

I have some emotion, Uncle Shi and Carl are not all the way at all, but they are close to each other in one day, it is really incomprehensible, the only explanation is that they have a trace of warm kindness in their hearts, Carl naively thinks that the people around him are good, and Shi Laobo would rather die by himself than let a good person die in vain.

Carl saved Uncle Shi, and Uncle Shi also saved Carl, and then they saved me together.

On the terraced fields on the hill, there are those Chinese craftsmen, they have removed their tattered clothes, talking and laughing together in the fields, at this time, the sky is clear, the sun casts a warm light, shining on every smiling face, maybe this vegetable garden is really a paradise found by this group of war-torn people, right?

I went home again to see Anne and Uncle Dub, and then went back to the barracks with Carl.

Seeing that we had returned safely, Wood did not ask where we had gone, but simply took Carl and I to the office, poured a cup of tea for each of us, and said no more. He turned on the radio, and there was news about Australia.

"The latest news, recently, the Brydon police and the garrison teamed up to arrest a group of stowaways in Big Wolf Mountain, and successfully rescued a number of tourists, which was commended by the Australian Governor. Dabai, a soldier of the Bryden garrison, told reporters about the entire operation. Immediately after Da Bai's voice sounded, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and Da Bai finally found a profession that he was best at.

"I am a soldier of the Bryden garrison - Dabai, the day before yesterday we received a task, with the Bryden Police Department to the big wolf mountain to arrest the stowaways, it was late at night, the big wolf mountain stretched out his hand and could not see the five fingers, we ventured to search the mountain, rescued three tourists, one of the tourists was shot, in urgent need of treatment, life first, I and the soldiers decided to quickly carry the injured tourist down the mountain, organize rescue, and finally save the tourist's life. After that, we judged that the stowaways had been startled and were very likely to flee to the beach, so General Wood quickly organized troops to cut off the escape route of the stowaways, and my comrades and I successfully intercepted these stowaways, they were trapped in the beasts, kidnapped five Ottomans, and forced us to arrange a boat for them to escape, rescuing the hostages was our first combat goal, so we had to let them escape to the beach, and when they were about to get on the boat, they didn't know that the sharpshooters were transferred, and the sharpshooters locked on each stowaway, The order was given, gunshots rang out, all the stowaways were killed, and the hostages were safe and sound. ”

Carl listened carefully, crying and laughing, "This is the end, why is there nothing to do with us!" ”

Wood smiled and said, "Why not, you are the sharpshooter." ”

He stood up, "I announce that I have decided to award you the title of Sharpshooter because of your excellent performance. Plus, Carl, you'll get a privilege that the Australian army has never had! ”

Excited, Karl stood up and gave Wood a military salute.

"Carl, from today onwards, you, as an Australian soldier, can serve outside!"

Karl blinked and asked suspiciously, "What is out-of-camp service?" ”

"That is, you don't need to live in the barracks, and you don't need to conduct military training every day, as a special combat unit in Australia, when the army needs you, you can obey the dispatch at any time and complete the tasks assigned to you by the army."

Karl was very happy, "Do you have a name for my combat unit?" ”

Wood groaned, "Not yet!" ”

"Then can I come up with a nice name for myself?"

Wood nodded, "In principle, yes." ”

Kale became excited and walked back and forth in the room, "I want to think about what it is called, as Australian special forces, we are the elite of the elite, and we are the existence that can cross rivers and seas, just like the legendary dragon, then this combat unit of ours is called Aolong." ”

I almost burst out laughing, isn't the Australian dragon an Australian lobster?

Wood had a serious face, and I had to admire his strong self-control. "Very well, from now on, you are a member of the Aolong Special Warfare Team."

"And who else is in this group?"

Wood probably didn't expect Carl to ask, "It's just you for the time being." ”

"Then I was ordered to form the Aolong Squad?"

"I guess that's right."

"Well, Billy, doing well and definitely deserving to join the Aolong Squad."

Wood shook his head, "Billy can't do it, he's still going to stay in the barracks." ”

Now Carl didn't do it, "Why? Since I was ordered to form the Aolong Squad, I won't be left alone, right? If you don't let Billy join, I won't do it. ”

Wood looked at Carl helplessly, "Okay, Billy can join the Austroon squad as well." You two can't stay in the camp any longer, leave the barracks, sneak into the people, be careful to keep it secretive, and don't tell anyone about your Aolong squad. I'll keep you in touch if there's a task. I've already arranged for someone to pack your bags, go ahead! ”

Carrying unopened luggage, Carl and I stood at the door of the barracks, looking back at the barracks where we had only been here for one day.

The gate of the camp slammed shut the moment we came out.

Karl muttered, "Brother, were we fired from Wood?" ”
