Chapter 16: The Long Night (3)

"Huaxia, what kind of place is that? Is it far away, is it beautiful?" After all, Amu was just a child, and after making a commitment to Xiao Jian's request, he soon showed extremely strong curiosity about Xiao Jian's origin.

"It may be far away, but I can't tell you how far it is from here. But it is indeed a very beautiful place, where not only the scenery is very beautiful, but also the people who are very hardworking. If you have the opportunity to visit it in the future, I think it won't be long before you fall in love with that land. Xiao Jian looked out the window at the stars, his expression was gloomy, and he said in a leisurely tone. I have inexplicably crossed into this completely unfamiliar world, and I don't know which star this land belongs to in this vast galaxy, and where is the earth where my motherland is located in these hundreds of millions of stars? Motherland, motherland, after this farewell, in this life and this life, will I have the opportunity to return to your arms, kiss your land, and listen to your wind and rain? In the time travel novels I have read before, there has never been a precedent for returning after crossing over. As soon as he thought of his motherland and relatives who were thousands of miles away, Xiao Jian couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and suddenly felt that his eyes were astringent, as if there was something, and he was about to break free from the shackles of his eyes and rush out. This hatred lasts forever, and in this life and this life, I am afraid that I will never be able to get rid of the suffering of this boundless thought. Who said that a man doesn't flick when he has tears, it's just because he hasn't been sad yet. I didn't travel before, and when I was still in China, although I often went abroad to carry out missions, and often went for months, I would always think of my motherland, my hometown, and my relatives and friends when I was abroad, but the feeling at that time was never so strong as it is now. Because at that time, even if I was far away from the motherland, I still had a hope, and I could look forward to the day when I went back. But now, I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back for the rest of my life. "Well, I don't know what happened to my family now, maybe they all received the notice of my death? I was so badly injured at that time, my comrades-in-arms at that time should have seen it. I hope that my comrades-in-arms will only tell their parents that I am missing, instead of telling them the truth about my injuries, so that at least they can leave them with a little memory, and they will not be bitter about their own death. Xiao Jian thought silently in his heart.

"Amu, did you have anything else on me when they brought me home?" In order not to let Amu see the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, Xiao Jian deliberately diverted the topic and turned his head away.

"Yes, yes, it's all in my Abba's room. I'm going to go get those things right now. Since Xiao Jian was facing the window, Amu didn't notice his strange expression at this time. Seeing Xiao Jian asking about his own things, he quickly stood up and ran out of the door happily. When Abba and Auntie rescued Xiao Jian, they also brought back those strange things on him. I haven't been able to figure out what those strange things are used for, but now I finally have the opportunity to ask Brother Xiao in front of me in person.

By the time Amu brought a sniper rifle and a combat backpack into the house, Xiao Jian had already wiped away his tears and waited there quietly.

"Brother Xiao, everything you want is here, you check it and see if there is anything missing. ”

Xiao Jian took the sniper rifle handed to him by Amu, skillfully opened the magazine, and checked it, this is a TAC50 long-range, high-power sniper rifle produced by Barrett Company of the United States, with an effective range of more than 2 kilometers, and has set a shooting record of more than 2,400 meters in the United States war against Afghanistan, with the characteristics of long range, high accuracy and great power. Xiao Jian is a sniper in the squad, which is also one of his favorite weapons when he was in the special forces, but unfortunately there is not much ammunition left now, and even the spare ammunition in the backpack adds up to only thirteen rounds. "There are fewer bullets, so let's make do with them. Xiao Jian sighed silently in his heart, and began to check the backpack again, which also contained a Type 92 pistol, a dagger, two grenades, a first-aid kit and a few penicillins, in addition to a standing helmet and a few compressed biscuits. In this world, grenades, combat helmets, and compressed biscuits should not be used, but fortunately, both magazines of the pistol are still full, and there are more than a dozen scattered rounds.

"Brother Xiao, what is this? It looks like a gourd with wine, let me open it and take a look?" Amu picked up a grenade from his backpack and asked Xiao Jian curiously, as he reached out to pull the tab on it.

"Don't move! put it down!" Xiao Jian was frightened by Amu's actions, and quickly shouted to stop.

Amu was so frightened by Xiao Jian's sudden shout that he trembled, his hand shook, and the grenade fell to the ground all of a sudden, and even more unfortunately, the pull ring on it was also pulled by his fingers and released!

When it was too late, Xiao Jian picked up the grenade that had begun to smoke on the ground, threw it out of the door, and then pounced on Amu and knocked him to the ground. "Boom!" Just as the two of them fell to the ground, there was a loud bang in the courtyard. The huge sound of the grenade explosion shook the whole room, and with a "bang" sound, the entire window by the door was torn into several pieces by the air wave and scattered to the ground, and all the dishes on the table that had not been taken away were also shaken to the ground and shattered.

"You're trying to kill both of us!" After the explosion, Xiao Jian struggled to get up from the ground with difficulty, and when he threw Amu to the ground just now, the wounds on his chest and abdomen that had not completely healed were cracked again, and at this moment, the sharp pain from the wound made Xiao Jian gasp one after another.

"Brother Xiao, are you okay? Ah, why is your wound bleeding again. Lie down on the bed, and I'll get some medicine for you." The sudden change frightened Amu so much that his heart was pounding, and when he saw blood oozing from Xiao Jian's clothes, he was even more anxious, so he quickly helped him to the side of the bed and lay down slowly.

"I'm fine, you hide these things quickly. I am afraid that the loud noise just now will wake up the people nearby, and if they come, they will definitely be suspicious when they see these things, and we will explain it clearly for a while. Xiao Jian said as he grinned back on the bed. Amu was too reckless just now, but fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise the two of them would have been blown into a pile of mud by the grenade now, and maybe they would have to travel to other worlds. But this pile of things in front of him must be dealt with quickly, Amu is his own person, it doesn't matter if he sees it, if he lets other people in the tribe know, it will be difficult to explain it clearly even if he has a few mouths for a while.

"Alright, alright, I'll go hide them. Amu is also a person who understands the priorities of things, and knows that the matter in front of him is very serious, not to mention that even if he wants to treat Brother Xiao's wounds, he has to go to Abba and Aunt's room to get medicine first, so he hurriedly put away Xiao Jian's things that he had just taken and lifted them out.

"Brother Xiao, what was that thing just now? After helping Xiao Jian heal his wounds, Amu asked with palpitations.

"That's my weapon, you don't understand it yet, don't mess with the things inside, you don't know how to use it now, it's easy to get into trouble." Xiao Jian replied with a serious expression.

"Knock knock knock...... The two said a few words, and there was a quick knock at the courtyard door.

"Amu, what's wrong with your family, what happened just now?" An old voice came from outside the door.

"It's Uncle Mo Zixi Mo of the house next door, you lie here and don't move, I'll go out and have a look." Amu stood up and said hello to Xiao Jian on the bed, then turned around and walked out the door.

"Uncle Mo, just now I was making firecrackers at home and accidentally exploded. We're all right, so go back to sleep. Amu opened the courtyard door and explained very respectfully to Uncle Mo, who was looking left and right in the courtyard with a surprised face.

"It's really nothing? You see that the window has been torn down, why is there such a big pit on the ground, how much gunpowder did you use? You didn't hurt anyone, right?" Uncle Mo looked around again, and asked uneasily.

"It's really okay, Uncle Mo, don't you think I'm fine now, why don't you go into the house and have a look?" I have to admire this kid, the ability to adapt to changes is really good.

"Okay, pay attention in the future, it's very dangerous to make firecrackers, and if you don't get it right, you will die. I'll go back first, it's so late, you should go to bed early. Seeing that Amu and Xiao Jian were all right, Uncle Mo didn't ask any more, and after chatting casually for a few more words, he got up and walked out.

Later, two or three more people came to inquire, and they were all persuaded by Amu to go back for the same reason. Fortunately, it happened at night, and the black light couldn't see it clearly, if it was during the day, the few people who came just now saw the mess in the courtyard, they would definitely ask long and short questions, and it would not be like three or two sentences to send them away.

After a long time, after being sure that no one would come again, Amu closed the courtyard door, then came to the house, and chatted with Xiao Jian for a while, before the two said goodbye to each other and turned off the lights to rest.

However, for the two of them, tonight is destined to be insomnia. Whether it was for Xiao Jian or Amu, what happened during the day and night today was something they had never encountered in their lives. What do these things that have never been heard of before portend? Is it a blessing or a curse? Is it sadness or joy? They want to know the answer, but who can give them the answer at this moment? The road of life is so strange, many things will happen inexplicably, and then the trajectory of your life will be turned upside down by these inexplicable things.
