Chapter 37: The curtain opens
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the first day of the second month, on this day, the eight brothers gathered again in the living room of room 901, Shan Liang sat on the futon and looked at the seven people and asked, "Are tomorrow's things ready?"
"All employees in the company will have a holiday tomorrow, and the mobile phone will be turned off tomorrow. This is Hu Yufeng's answer.
"Please take a good leave, the leaders above have also granted leave, all enterprises and institutions have issued a notice, tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock to start the national water and gas outage, aviation motor car suspension, any vehicle is strictly prohibited from driving, once caught directly revoke the driver's license, the relevant departments of the overall waterway, circuit, railway in China large-scale maintenance, all enterprises and institutions will be off work at three o'clock in the afternoon, school, so it is easy to ask for leave. This is the answer of Ma Xingbang and other office workers.
"Since the 16th day of the first lunar month, every TV station has taken turns to broadcast the news, and the community committee has also notified the owners, so tomorrow I will turn off my mobile phone, and no one can contact me. This is the answer of Zhang Fang and others.
Shan Liang heard the answer of the seven people, nodded and said to Hu Yufeng: "Yufeng, is the walkie-talkie ready?"
"Ready, just in the corner of the wall, when I leave for a while, I will take it one by one, the electricity is full, the FM is channel 11, this batch of walkie-talkies is on standby for 20 days, and it can talk for 15 hours in a row. Hu Yufeng pointed to a black plastic bag in the corner of the living room and said.
Shan Liang nodded and said a little excitedly: "Brothers, tomorrow is an unknown era is about to open, maybe everything will change now, no one knows whether this matter is good or bad, so, I hope the brothers can grasp all this, whether it is a dragon or a worm depends on yourself, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the morning here to get the walkie-talkie and your own sword, keep in touch." ”
"Ah Liang, will all this start to happen at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon?" asked Zhang Zhenbao.
"The time is uncertain, and the hexagram at that time showed that it was after sunset, and it is not clear whether the sunset was the standard there, so the reason why Ouchi set it at five o'clock in the afternoon is because of their thoughts. Shan Liang thought for a while and said.
"I just checked, and the earliest sunset time in all regions of China is around five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Zhenguo said with his mobile phone in his hand.
"It is said that some Western countries are confused by the second monk after knowing that I Huaxia released the news, and some hostile countries, especially the United States, are still vigorously shouting that Ouchi's approach is a stupid farce. Zhang Zhenbao smiled lightly and told the news he heard as a joke.
"Oh, what are the countries?" Shan Liang was a little interested when he heard this, he rarely used the Internet since he practiced, unlike Zhang Zhenbao who watched the news on the Internet every day.
"The United States, Australia, and Canada are the most fierce, but the Eagle Country, Japan and Argentina are very hostile to our China but have not spoken much. Zhang Zhenbao thought about the news content he saw on the Internet and said.
Shan Liang thought for a while and said to the seven people, "Have you noticed anything different?"
Zhou Qiang, who is most familiar with history, thought for a while and said: "It seems that these countries that are the most fierce are all emerging countries, yes, historical heritage!"
Shan Liang nodded at Zhou Qiang and said, "Yes, it's the historical heritage, it seems that there are capable people in foreign countries." Seeing that the seven people didn't understand very well, Shan Liang explained: "These emerging countries have only begun to build in the past few hundred years, lacking historical background or inheritance, and those countries that are not very noisy have their own heritage, whether it is the onmyoji of Japan or the magician of the Eagle Country, there will be similar predictions, but it may not be as obvious as I measured." ”
Hearing Shan Liang's explanation, the seven suddenly realized.
Seeing that the seven people understood, Shan Liang continued: "These countries will pay attention in the future, and it is very likely that they will do things. Okay, let's all go back. After saying that, he left with the seven of them, and each of them went home.
"Hey, hey, all the members of 301 Aite, please reply when you hear it, over!" Ma Xingbang's voice came from the walkie-talkie next to Shan Liang. Since the eight brothers retrieved their walkie-talkies and swords, they agreed to contact each other every half hour, and it was Ma Xingbang's turn to shout.
"Ah Liang, what kind of trick are you guys playing?" Shan Liang asked Shan Liang puzzled after hearing the walkie-talkie ring again.
"Mom, we're testing the performance of this walkie-talkie, by the way, Mom, do you know the news released by the TV station?" asked Shan Liang after making up a random reason.
"Oh, you're talking about water and power outages, the TV station has been broadcasting the news for the past few days, and the community committee has also come to notify us, you say it's not nonsense, the maintenance line can be used for water and power outages across the country. The single mother complained to the single beam, very puzzled by this.
"The country has national considerations, I think, you and my dad should go to bed early at night, anyway, it's better to lie in bed and go to bed early after the water and electricity outages, right?" ”
"But it's too early, it's not dark at five o'clock......" The single mother who was complaining was suddenly interrupted by a phone ringing, Shan Liang took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID and got up and said to the single mother: "Mom, you just listen to me, there are some things I don't want to tell you, but listen to me must be right, after eating at four o'clock in the afternoon, I prepared cooked food, you and my dad make do with a meal first, and I will tell you the reason tomorrow." Shan Liang said and walked back to his room with his mobile phone and walkie-talkie.
"This stinky boy, is there something to hide from me? Seeing Shan Liang go back to his room, Shan Mu muttered.
"Hey, is there anything wrong with Director Ouyang?" Shan Liang returned to his room and pressed the answer button, and the call was from Ouyang Qi, who was far away in Beijing.
"Director Shan, the leader asked me to ask if you feel abnormal?" came Ouyang Qi's voice on the other end of the phone.
"I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, how are you preparing there?"
"Our side has already been arranged, all border troops have canceled their vacations and entered combat mode, and combat units in all theaters have also entered combat mode and are ready to fight at any time. The head asked me to ask you, what if nothing happens?"
"If there is no change in the early hours of tomorrow morning, it means that I have made a mistake in my calculations, and everything is back to normal, and I will go to Beijing to admit my mistake to the head of state in person. Hearing Ouyang Qi's words, Shan Liang knew that Jingshi's side should also be entangled, so he said it bluntly.
"Okay, I'll tell the chief. As soon as Ouyang Qi said this, he heard a busy sound from the phone to hang up, "I hope you have miscalculated, it's better that there is no change, the country still needs stability." Ouyang Qi said to himself.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shan Liang arranged for his parents to persuade his parents to go to bed after having dinner in advance, out of trust in Shan Liang, the single father and mother did not say much, after seeing his parents lying on the bed, Shan Liang carried his sword and walkie-talkie on the roof, looking at the scenery in the distance, Shan Liang did not know what to think.
Five o'clock.
Six o'clock.
Watching the sun gradually set, the sky fell into darkness, only the twinkling starlight flickered and seemed to be laughing at the single beam at this time. Shan Liang didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, maybe it was really his own miscalculation, at this time Shan Liang had a trace of doubt and loss in his heart, and there was a trace of happiness and relief in this complex mood.
"Suzu ......"
At this time, the mobile phone in the single-beam trouser pocket rang, and he looked at the caller ID, it was Ouyang Qi.
"Maybe I'm wrong, tomorrow morning I will go to Beijing and admit my mistake to the head of state in person. Shan Liang knew the purpose of Ouyang Qi's call, and said bluntly.
"Director Shan, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask you about when we can return to normal, after all, we are under a lot of pressure right now. Ouyang Qi heard Shan Liang's words and said directly.
"If you're really in a hurry, then go back at nine o'clock in the evening, I still hope you can hold on. Shan Liang thought for a while and said.
"I will convey your suggestion to the leader, and it is up to the leader to decide what to do. Ouyang Qi hung up the phone after speaking.
Shan Liang put away the phone and looked at the time, it was 6:45 in the afternoon, Shan Liang thought about it and picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "I am Shan Liang, call all the personnel, please reply when you hear it." ”
"Roger!" heard the voice of the single beam, and the echo of seven people came over the walkie-talkie.
"Maybe I'm wrong, wait another hour and get back to the way it was. Shan Liang said in a heavy tone.
It seemed that they felt Shan Liang's mood, and the seven of them just recovered a sentence of "received" and fell into calm.
Shan Liang held the walkie-talkie and said to himself: "Maybe this is also the best result." As soon as Shan Liang finished saying this, he felt an inexplicable sense of oppression in the sky, and a mysterious and mysterious grand aura began to spread rapidly to all the spaces that Shan Liang perceived, and the sky was like a dark curtain, and no stars could be seen anymore.
Here it comes!
