Chapter 6: Hill Hill, Cupid's Arrow
Maina walked ahead with a light step, and the path led to the high ground behind the manor, where smooth stone strips slept on the wet lawn and were surrounded by verdant moss. The edges and corners left by the original excavation have been polished under the trampling over and over again, obviously after the vicissitudes of life.
After a while, the two of them walked to the lawn of the hill, and several tall and lush palm trees grew in front of them on the open grass. As far as the eye can see, there are several white sailboats floating on the blue sea in the distance.
Maina blinked her eyes and looked into the distance, her delicate side face facing the chasing dragon, and she seemed to be a quiet nightingale, never singing during the day.
The dragon chased her and waited for her to speak......
One minute...
Two minutes......
Five minutes......
Chasing the dragon seemed to hear the sound of the clock ticking and moving, and he finally couldn't wait anymore......
"Could it be that you can take me to see the scenery?"
"What do you think of the scenery?"
"Not good!"
"If one day you're in prison, or when you're in despair, you can feel how beautiful the here and now are. Maina said.
"When I'm in a desperate situation, all I can think about is finding a way out of danger and surviving, rather than dwelling on the memories of the past. Chasing the dragon said calmly.
"If it's you, you can do it. Mina turned her face.
Chasing Long couldn't help but remember that he didn't know anything about Maina's life experience, and at this time, listening to her talk about her life insights, he couldn't help but be curious, and he thought that Maina's life experience must be bumpy.
"You used to be like me?" said Chasing Dragon, looking at her.
"I heard that you fell into the hands of the Vietnamese armed group at the age of nine, and after years of training by the anti-government armed group, you became a good killer, and then became a mercenary for a living. At least you have free will, and you can control the fate of others!" said Mina.
"What about you?" Chasing Dragon's handsome face also showed a hint of a smile.
"My mother is from Yunnan and my father is from Burma, so I met my father because he was doing business on the China-Myanmar border, and then I had a good relationship. After my mother gave birth to me, she moved to the Kokang region of Myanmar, and it didn't take long for my father to get a notice from the local warlords in Myanmar to grow poppy, in order to feed his family, he became a member of the drug lord organization, and later the business became bigger and bigger, and the drugs sold well in Europe, the United States and Western countries.
The turning point came when I was 10 years old, when the local government was forced by the call of various countries around the world to fight drugs. I sent an army to encircle and suppress us, and I saw my parents die tragically in that shootout, and my whole body was shot at the target by countless bullets! I hated them, and I acquiesced that this kind of business could promote the development of the local area, and then when my life was better, I could unload the mill and kill the donkey for the sake of my own dignity."
Chasing the dragon saw a trace of tears flashing in Maina's eyes, and in a moment, the hateful gaze withdrew all the tears.
Listening to her tell her tragic life story, Chasing Dragon is like expounding her own story, two people from different countries, but have the same tragic experience, it will inevitably resonate! Chasing Dragon understands Maina's mood and why she chose to be a killer.
Chasing the dragon didn't say a word, silence is the best affirmation and understanding of her.
"Hey...... Why didn't you ask me about the aftermath?" said Mina, with a hint of anger in her tone. It's just that she has never revealed her heart to anyone for several years, and at this time, seeing that Chasing Long is listening carefully, she wants to pour out her sad past for many years.
"I'm sorry Mina!" I was fascinated by what I was talking about, and you went on...... "Chasing Dragon explained.
"They took me and sent me to live in a women's home in the Kokang area. Later, a good friend of my father's who owned a Japanese martial arts gym found out that I was still alive and took me out of the women's adoption center with some money. Since then, I have been his disciple, practicing modern Japanese martial arts day and night. I'm so grateful to my father's friend, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing in front of you today!" she smiled.
"Your father's friend is righteous and upright. If I have the opportunity to go to Myanmar in the future, I will definitely visit him and learn a few karate tricks by the way!" said Chasing Long.
"No chance!" said Mina, looking at the vast blue sky.
"How... He died?" Chasing Long's first reaction was that he had suffered a misfortune, and how could he say that he had no chance at the moment.
"Five years ago, he was killed by a headshot from a headshot hundreds of meters away by a hitman hired by the enemy. Mina said heavily.
"It's a pity, such a warm-hearted good man!" Chasing Long said with regret.
"yes...... Yesterday has passed quietly, tomorrow is unpredictable, only cherish the present person in front of you is the most real!" Her fair cheeks are particularly bright in the sun, and her fresh eyes reveal an intoxicating affection, she is indeed beautiful!
The two looked at each other and fell silent!
For a second...
Two seconds......
Five-second ......
Chasing the dragon is well versed in the love between men and women in the world, as if he saw the deep affection revealed in Maina's eyes. But he could not speculate that if he remained silent, he would admit that Cupid's bow had been shot at his heart. And that's not the case, he can't let the atmosphere of absurdity spread, that would be unfair to anyone!
"Hi...... Mana, the scenery here is indeed beautiful, just like your smiling face! But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you can see that we have only had a meal since the morning. Isn't it time to think about mealtime!" Chasing the dragon reminded her.
Mina knew that as a mercenary, he sometimes encountered sniper opponents during his missions, and often had to lurk in one place, maintaining the same posture for a day and a night. At this time, it is natural to prevaricate to say this.
"Hmph...... Go back and I'll ask Mommy to cook you a big pot and kill you!" said Myna angrily.
At that moment, he strode back towards the path he came from, and before the chasing dragon could react, Maina's figure was already ten meters away.
Only leave the chasing dragon in place and smile bitterly!
In the evening, the sunset sets and the nightingale returns home. Inside Hill Hill Villas...
Chasing Long and Mai Na sat at the dining table opposite each other, but saw that Chasing Long's face was strange, and at this time it seemed that he was usually angry, sad, happy, happy, and all kinds of emotions were portrayed on his face at the same time! It turned out that Mai Na pointed to a large pot of pho on the dinner table in front of Chasing Dragon.
"Mr. Chasing Dragon...... I personally select the pho side dishes, bean sprouts, tomatoes, eggs, beef balls, large intestines, etc...... Didn't you say you're hungry, now you can eat them all!" said Myna, grunting the names of the dishes, with a look of delight on her face.
Chasing the dragon secretly said, "Oh God, this woman was originally a killer, and she was my mission partner, how did she become like a housewife?"
"Hey...... What are you thinking about?, eat it!" Myna shouted.
"Okay! I'll eat. ”
Chasing the dragon is helpless, since she said that she wants to eat, at this time she has cooked the pho, if I don't eat it, won't it make her disappointed!
"Woo-yo, woo-woo......"
There was a sound of eating pho, and I saw Chailong holding chopsticks and picking up a big mouthful of noodles, sucking it clean, and splashing oil, water and soup at the corners of his mouth, obviously he deliberately pretended to be so ugly.
Seeing this, Maina couldn't help but sneer......
"Alright...... If you dry up this big pot of pho tonight, I guess I will have to go alone to save Madi. Maina smiled and stretched out a small bowl to sort half of the rice noodles in the basin.
After a while, the two of them finished dinner at the same time and went back to their rooms to rest.
