Chapter 39: Hidden in the Depths
After hearing that Bai Shuo was going to fly solo again and threw all the things at home to herself, Liang Ying yelled for a while. But in the end, Bai Shuo still flew to the imperial capital with Cao An.
Coming to the imperial capital and browsing the style of the imperial capital all the way in the car, Bai Shuo and Cao An were immediately shaken by the ancient and solemn, prosperous and majestic momentum. Cao An said enviously: "Brother Geng, if we can gain a foothold here one day, it will be awesome." Bai Shuo did not refute, even if he had seen the prosperity of the later generations in his memory, he was also infected by the imperial capital at this time. There is an inexplicable attraction here, and there is a charm that makes everyone impressed and fell for it, which is incomparable to Shu. Bai Shuo also secretly felt that if he wanted to develop better in China, he could not help but occupy a place in the imperial capital.
"What a big breath, you think anyone here can stand on their feet if they want to. There are many people who have been here all their lives, and in the end they don't even have a piece of their own. The one who spoke was a quirky little girl who was sitting in the car with Bai Shuo, her name was Li Mo, seventeen or eighteen years old, she looked very well-behaved and cute, but her personality was indeed very bold and hot. It is said that her family and Xiao Zhen's family are world friends, and they are also Xiao Zhen's little sister who grew up. Now that the school is on winter vacation, it happens to be fine, so I was called by Xiao Zhen to pick up the airport, and by the way, I arranged the itinerary and accommodation of Bai Shuo and the others.
After arriving at a five-star hotel, Bai Shuo and Cao An rested for a while according to Xiao Zhen's arrangement, because Xiao Zhen invited them to his home as guests in the evening. At this time, they realized that Xiao Zhen was not only from the imperial capital, but also that his family should have some strength in the imperial capital, because except for the eccentric Li Mo who came to pick them up just now, the driver in the car seemed to be the full-time driver of Xiao Zhen's family, which was not something that ordinary people could afford. At about 7 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhen personally drove to the hotel with Li Mo to pick up Bai Shuo and Cao An and drove to Xiao Zhen's home.
After driving through a busy street, the vehicle entered a quiet road, and after driving on the road for a while, it turned right again and came to a residential area. Bai Shuo was surprised to find that when entering the residential area, the guards at the intersection were not security guards, they were soldiers with loaded guns, and after entering a road card, there were three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, so stern. At this time, Bai Shuo and Cao An both glanced at each other and smacked their tongues secretly.
The vehicle ended up in a villa area. The two of them were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around and feeling that everything was strange. Although this villa is not very luxurious, but the place where the villa is located gives people a solemn feeling as a whole, the surrounding environment is not extravagant and exaggerated, and even does not have a modern and popular atmosphere, but it is neat and tidy, even the flowers and plants on the side of the road are cut neatly, and the plants are as neat as the soldiers in a queue. After entering the villa, what you see is an old decoration style, obviously this villa is not newly built, but has some years.
Under the leadership of Xiao Zhen and Li Mo, they entered the house, and the two kind elders were waiting in the hall. Xiao Zhen was about to be introduced, Cao An actually said excitedly to the female elders: "Aren't you Han Mei, Teacher Han?" The female elders smiled slightly and nodded, and Bai Shuo remembered that this was actually Han Mei, a film artist of the older generation in China.
At this time, Xiao Zhen smiled and introduced to Bai Shuo and Cao An that this Han Mei turned out to be Xiao Zhen's mother, and when Bai Cao and the others were very surprised, Xiao Zhen introduced them to the old man next to Han Mei, that is, Xiao Zhen's father Xiao Jimin. Bai Shuo felt familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was not the big leader in a high position that he often saw in the news at half past seven in the evening? Fortunately, Xiao Zhen's parents are very easy-going, so that Bai Cao and the others will not be at a loss.
At this moment, there was a sound from upstairs, and a majestic but old voice came: "Is it the arrival of the guests?" I saw an old man with white hair and beard, and a thin and weak body, who was supported and walked slowly downstairs. Li Mo obediently ran over, took the initiative to support the old man from the other side, and called sweetly: "Grandpa Xiao."
The old man happily replied: "Momo is so good."
But this warm scene failed to make Bai Shuo and Cao An feel sweetly moved, and they were more shocked at this time. Because he was supported by Li Mo, he was the famous revolutionary predecessor who was a little red soldier in the legend, fought the Japanese and resisted the Mi Emperor, and was known as Xiao Cannon. Bai Shuo and Cao An opened their mouths, and there was no longer the slightest reaction. This old man is the old man in Xiao Zhen's mouth, his own grandfather. At this time, Bai Cao and the others both thought that when they were in Shudu, Jiang Xiaotao said that Xiao Zhen was not good enough to play with him, if Jiang Xiaotao knew Xiao Zhen's identity, it was estimated that he would be scared first.
In the next time, under Xiao Zhen's introduction, Bai Cao and the others almost completed the greetings with an embarrassed and stiff smile, and Cao An also showed some foreign appearances, which made Li Mo look disdainful. But Old Man Xiao looked happy and only told the two of them not to be nervous. When they arrived at the dinner table, after the two of them had almost half a catty of Moutai down, they began to relax a little after drinking and heroic. During the meal, Mr. Xiao was very interested in asking about their use of the Internet to fight corrupt officials. Bai Shuo and Cao An explained the whole process vividly, and Xiao Zhen also added from time to time. The old man didn't understand some things, and Cao An also explained the old man in a serious way. Xiao Jimin praised their courage and wisdom, but also had some different opinions on their specific methods. Because not all the things exposed on the Internet at that time were true, and a small number of people added fuel to it, and even provoked contradictions between the masses and the country. When Xiao Jimin mentioned this, it was more of a kind admonition to them. Bai Shuo and Cao An even claimed that they were, and promised that they would pay attention to these problems in the future.
Old Man Xiao didn't care, and told Bai Shuo and the others: "White cats and black cats, holding rats is good cats." As long as the purpose is right and the result is good, young people should let it go. When I was young, I was famous for my Xiao cannon, not because I could shoot, but because I was a person who didn't care about the enemy or what was wrong, he boldly fired the cannon and didn't care about anything. ”
After the meal, Old Man Xiao seemed to be in good spirits, and he drank tea with everyone in the living room for a while. In particular, he told the two juniors about his deeds of lying about his age at the age of 15 and becoming a little red soldier, following the GCD to make a revolution, fighting guerrillas, killing Japanese invaders, and resisting the Mi Emperor. These deeds are completely different from the exaggerated plots in the TV series, although they are more simple, but they can make people feel the cruelty of war and the hard-won victory of the revolution. Hearing this, Bai Cao and the others were enthusiastic, and they had a feeling that they wanted to be bloody and slash the enemy chieftain. Perhaps it was this moment that planted such a seed in their hearts, so that they finally experienced a period of bullets in the future. Obviously, Xiao Zhen's family had heard these deeds countless times, but no one disturbed the old man's interest at this moment.
In the end, Old Man Xiao said meaningfully to the dialogue and Cao: "Our era has become a thing of the past. The future is the time of your youth. In the past, we fought the enemy with guns and cannons. I don't understand what economic means, scientific and technological means, and even what kind of online media you use to fight the enemy. The future will be handed over to you young people, or that sentence, no matter whether the cat is black or white, it is a good cat to hold a mouse. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, we will do it with confidence, and we will boldly do what is harmful to our enemies. Don't be afraid even if there are any difficulties, we old bones are your backing, and the country and the people are your backing. After speaking, the old man's spirit gradually became tired, and he was helped upstairs to rest. Bai Shuo and Cao An also said goodbye and prepared to leave. Xiao Zhen called a car, said goodbye to his parents, and personally sent Bai Shuo, Cao An, and Li Mo away.
After going out and getting into the car, Bai Shuo and Cao An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Cao An shouted: "Brother Zhen, it turns out that you are the bigger ***, compared to you before, Jiang Xiaotao was simply a clown jumping off the beam."
Bai Shuo also sighed: "Brother Zhen, today is a big winter that scares me into sweating, I really can't see it, you are deeply hidden." ”
Li Mo said without cutting down on the side: "You two just know, when Brother Zhen was young, he was a famous son-in-law in the imperial capital, and many of the sons and daughters in Yanei were Brother Zhen's little followers. That Jiang Xiaotao is not worthy of being a follower of my brother in the town. ”
Bai Shuo and Cao An were also completely relieved from the previous shock at this time, and when they saw Li Mo say this, they all changed their ecology, and then pretended to call out to Xiao Zhen: "Meet Young Master Xiao." ”
made Xiao Zhen smile bitterly, and said to them: "I'm afraid you two won't have enough to eat today, let's go, why don't you try the imperial capital's supper, so you can stop your mouths."
Li Mo heard that she was going to have supper, and she had to go together. There was no way, and the three people who wanted to get together as brothers had to take her with them.
At this time, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, but it obviously did not have much impact on the prosperity and liveliness of the imperial capital. When I came to Qianmen Street, a supper club with mutton shabu opened a bottle of Erguotou, and the four of them ate it again around the pot. Li Mo didn't have to go to school because of the holidays, so she had to pour a little wine, and learn to drink with everyone, but she choked on tears as soon as she took a sip.
After eating for a while, two superb beauties appeared in the supper club, attracting a burst of side eyes. One of them looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and he looked elegant and innocent, perhaps not very old, and he exuded a sense of youth. The other person is a little older, dignified and quiet, revealing a noble temperament between a smile and a smile. After seeing Bai Shuo's table, the two walked straight up. Xiao Zhen turned his back to the door, and didn't see it at this time, until the beautiful woman who was not much older than Li Mo directly covered Xiao Zhen's eyes from behind, so she didn't look affectionate, Xiao Zhen pulled away her delicate little hands and turned around. And the other woman was also not far away at this time, looking at Xiao Zhen affectionately, and showing some embarrassed shyness.
"Little sister, Xiaohui, are you back?How did you find this?" After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he looked back at Li Mo, who immediately lowered his head.
Originally, Li Mo was also well-behaved and lovely, but at this time, there were two more beauties, and the people in the nightclub looked at this side jealously. sighed in my heart, the good cabbage has been arched by pigs, these three stupid men can have three such beautiful women, there are dignified ladies, there are sweet and lovely, and there are well-behaved little Lori, which really satisfies the fantasies of most men. Bai Shuo's position had a wide view, and he obviously found the jealous eyes and thoughts of the people in the store. I also smiled bitterly in my heart, the good cabbage was not arched by these three pigs, but by Xiao Zhen alone.
At this time, the three girls surrounded Xiao Zhen, but squeezed Bai Shuo and Cao An to the side. Bai Shuo and Cao An had already seen everything in their eyes, and they were also secretly laughing at this time, thinking that this Xiao Zhen usually looked serious and serious, but he didn't expect to return to his own territory, which was also surrounded by beautiful women, hugging left and right, this serious person was in a commotion, but there was nothing wrong with the two of them.
After some introduction, it turned out that the younger beauty was called Xiao Lan, Xiao Zhen's own sister, who was not yet 20 years old and was currently studying at the art college. The older beauty is called Lin Hui, 24 years old this year, working in the Imperial Capital Civil Affairs Bureau. When she was a child, she and Xiao Zhen were neighbors in the same yard, and the two played since they were young, so they can be said to be childhood sweethearts. Bai Shuo and Cao An can see that Lin Hui is interested in Xiao Zhen, and it seems that it is very likely to become a quasi-sister-in-law in the future.
Xiao Zhen added a few more plates of meat and vegetables, settled a few beauties, and drank with Bai and Cao. At this time, a small episode happened. Just when Lin Hui and Li Mo went to the bathroom and came back, they were stopped by three men at another table, and the three of them didn't seem to have much malice at the beginning of the period, they just wanted to toast the two beauties with a glass of wine, and wanted to meet and make friends, but Lin Hui was a lady like Lin Hui, who drank and made friends with people at will, and immediately refused. Just when the three of them were dirty, Li Mo slapped them again, beating the man in the lead in a daze. This completely angered the three of them, and the man who was beaten rushed over with his fists and was ready to greet the two beauties. But he was suddenly twisted by a thug and couldn't move at all. It turned out that Xiao Zhen saw that Lin Hui and Li Mo were stopped and entangled, so he came over and wanted to take the two away, but who knew that it would evolve like this so quickly.
At this time, Xiao Zhen grabbed the man's hand with one hand, and pulled Lin Hui and Li Mo behind him with the other hand. Lin Hui was even more like a bird, hiding behind Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen saw that the man's face had become bruised in pain, so he pushed him away and said sharply: "Manly man, what kind of ability is it to bully women?"
The three men were trying to regain face, but they saw that Bai Shuo and Cao An also came to Xiao Zhen's side, especially that Cao An, although he was short and fat, his flesh looked black and powerful, and his face also looked fierce.
The man at the head had already suffered a loss in the hands of Xiao Zhen, and he estimated that he was not an opponent, so he threatened Xiao Zhen: "Wait for my eldest brother to come, see if you dare to be so crossy." Then he led them away.
