Chapter 126: Return to Beijing
The next morning, when I left the Brittany estate, the sky was already overcast.
On the return T-G-V train, Long Yun looked at the swaying rain outside the window in a daze.
The strange experience of yesterday morning no longer shocked him extremely; After examining the history of the estate, it was almost certain that it had never been occupied by the CIA or anyone else.
But the faint premonition still popped up from time to time, which made him a little uneasy.
Back in Paris, we braved the heavy rain to return to our hotel to rest, and the flight, which was originally scheduled to depart at noon, was also postponed due to bad weather. It was not until noon the next day, after the storm had passed, that the plane was able to take off, and it returned to Beijing via Moscow on the same route as when it came.
The sky after the heavy rain is exceptionally clear and clean; Piloting the plane into the route to Moscow, Long Yun's mind kept churning with various thoughts, which made him a little absent-minded.
He knew that he couldn't desert when flying, but he had no way to understand what was going on, and sometimes he even felt that it was his own hallucination; But the memory in his head clearly reminded him that all his discoveries were real facts.
Not to mention, the warhead lying in the pocket.
Reaching out and taking out the bullet in his trouser pocket, he looked at it, with Long Yun's discernment, he didn't need to take it for identification, he was also quite sure. The more this happened, the more he felt a little confused, and in a trance, he almost had to wonder if he was in a dream or reality.
Hearing the knock on the door, he didn't want to smell the faint smoke as he did when he came, Shangguan Ling came to the cockpit and sat down again.
Unlike the casual and quite harmonious conversation before, the eldest lady just nodded to him, and sat in the passenger seat by herself; Sometimes she took out her phone and looked at it, of course, there would be no signal, and she just seemed to stare at the screen thoughtfully in a daze.
Probably, everyone has their own thoughts, Long Yun thought.
But just when he himself was a little drowsy and wanted to drink some coffee to refresh himself, he heard Shangguan Ling's greeting.
"Long Yun." Shangguan Ling's voice didn't have the same determination as before, "I have something to ask you." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh? β
Hearing her words, Long Yun felt a little surprised, he didn't expect Shangguan Ling to ask him questions from his contemplation. Seeing that Long Yun did not refuse, Shangguan Ling continued.
"When I hired you at that time, Sister Su told me: You used to go to a military academy to learn to fly, and then because you didn't get in, you have been doing car maintenance work in Qingdao."
Long Yun didn't speak, just nodded.
"But now, you can easily get your aviation license again, and your new job is doing well." Shangguan Ling turned his head back and stopped looking at him, "So I think it's a little strange." What have you been doing all the years before? Wouldn't it be better if you had more ambition and worked hard earlier? β
Oh? Long Yun didn't expect that Shangguan Ling would question his previous life trajectory.
In retrospect, he was hit quite hard at that time because of the lack of a sense of space that had been inexplicably there and then suddenly disappeared. Looking at Shangguan Ling, who had lowered his eyes and was a little sleepy, Long Yun was a little excited, he knew that it was impossible for such a smooth sailing rich woman to understand his mood at that time.
Or is it not just her? Many people are busy every day and don't know what they want to do.
- "If you can't fly an airplane, can't you do something else, why do you need to fix the car?" In the past few years, he has been asked such things many times, and he can only smile in response.
He was tempted to ask those who asked this question, had they ever really focused and obsessed with something worth doing? If he really has his life's pursuit, thinking of it as a career that he is destined to accomplish in his life, but it is impossible to achieve it because of insurmountable obstacles, then does anything else make sense to him?
Looking back on his years of working in Qingdao, it was probably just his disheartened self-exile.
Thinking of this, Long Yun had to admit that the so-called mysterious power of fate. If it weren't for the inexplicable disappearance of spatial deficit disorder, would he still continue his greasy, sweaty maintenance career in a car maintenance shop?
If it weren't for that adventure, would he have regained his dream?
In this era of dominating the sky and being able to protect the earth, whether it is winning the championship at IFT or joining the Air Force to fly a strong attack aircraft, for many years there has been an inexplicable sense of mission calling his footsteps.
As if it was an innate belief, every time he clenched the joystick and looked at the vast sky, he would feel the fire of victory burning in his heart. Compared with his personal achievements, on the long and endless journey in the sky, what he longed for more was the honor and dignity of the country and the nation!
This persistence that flows in the blood and penetrates the depths of the soul can not be experienced by a girl who is in her youth and has a carefree life.
With the previous unpleasantness of the Louvre, of course he would not say these words again.
Facing Shangguan Ling, who looked puzzled and was waiting for him to reply, he just pondered and thought before slowly giving an answer.
"Yes. You're right, I've been silent long enough. β
β¦β¦
After a long journey, Long Yun didn't close his eyes all night.
At 9 o'clock in the morning Beijing time, after more than 10 hours of flight, the "Mercury" SE720 landed steadily at the airport in the western suburbs of Beijing.
Probably because the jet lag had not been reversed, and he was a little tired before, Shangguan Ling had been sleeping in his seat; It wasn't until Long Yun towed the plane to the hangar and Professor Liang and the others got in the car and left that he went back to the cockpit to wake her up.
Long Yun had already understood the temper of this eldest lady before, and he didn't respond to calling her name a few times, so he had to tentatively reach out and pat her shoulder.
ββ¦β¦ Uh, what's ...... Arrived at the station? Shangguan Ling was still confused, and he was a bit idiot when he asked.
Long Yun couldn't cry or laugh, probably she was in a daze, right? Wake up Shangguan Ling, lock the door of the plane, and the two of them walked out of the parking area and got into the small battery car shuttling in the airport.
Entering the lobby of the airport terminal, the surrounding people are bustling, and it is not lively to shuttle back and forth. Never since there were few people on the side of the journey back to China, Long Yun's consciousness snooping technique returned a lot of messy information, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Sure enough, there are still a lot of people in China, he thought casually, until a familiar stream of consciousness drifted into his mind.
Is that her?
Looking around in surprise, Long Yun saw the tall and slender figure near the airport gate; He wore a sunhat and sunglasses, but they couldn't hide his eyes.
It's really Su Xue!
At this time, noticing Long Yun's stop, Shangguan Ling also stopped.
"What are you looking at?"
"I-" Thinking that the two of them were friends, Long Yun sued her directly. "I saw Su Xue."
"Oh? Is it! ββWhere? β
Following the direction pointed out by Long Yun, Shangguan Ling, who saw Su Xue, was obviously quite happy, and he didn't look sleepy at all just now. She immediately walked briskly through the flow of people, and gradually pretended to be indifferent when she approached Su Xue; At this time, the whereabouts of Long Yun and the others were discovered from the snooping of consciousness, Su Xue turned to look here, and then nodded slightly to Long Yun.
- Su Xue, why are you here?
- Are you back? Coincidentally, I just got my parents on a plane and left.
