、、、、、、、

The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves on the street and rolls slowly, and the night is already deep at this time, and the streets of Wangdu are unusually quiet and slightly cold. The dim light of the rice cake stall, which is maintained by a storage battery, makes it extra warm in such an atmosphere. The stall owner lowered his head and hid the meat skewers under the electric stall truck under the plastic paper, and looked around vigilantly, hoping that the HTD Bureau would not come to trouble him in such a cold and quiet night.

There were three tables on the sidewalk, but there were only two guests, and two dark green military vehicles were parked not far away. The owner of the rice cake stall naturally couldn't recognize how fierce the license plates of the two military vehicles were, but he could also guess that the two young guests must have some origins.

Nowadays, rich people who are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas always like to come to the street to taste a different taste, and the middle-aged boss does not feel strange, let alone nervous. Even if the two young guests didn't order the black market lamb kebab that he cherished the most, and it was the most expensive, he didn't secretly slander the rich man for being stingy, because he could see that the two young men were the kind of real friends.

"I don't think I'm awesome, I guess...... It's just that luck is relatively good, after escaping from Donglin, I inexplicably met some big people. By the way, I'm working in the army now, but the file should still be hanging on the side of the fruit shell. Xu Le lowered his head and nibbled on the spicy rice cake, and explained softly, his life was too bizarre, there were many things that could not be explained to Li Wei, and the story of the past three years was too long, even if he wanted to tell it, he didn't know where to start.

"Bottle bar?" Xu Le consulted Levi for advice, and it seemed that it would take three years of hard liquor to fish out all the undeserved worries of those teenagers.

Levi nodded, put a few stalks of roasted celery with chopsticks and put them in his mouth, and chewed them with a puff, as if he had a very heavy matter in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak.

Xu Le filled himself and the wine glass in front of him, but did not move the chopsticks in front of him, staring at the celery segments and sauce-colored bean rolls on the plate with his head slightly lowered, as if he was also thinking about the beginning of a certain topic, which was also slightly heavy.

Childhood friends who haven't been seen for a long time are finally reunited, and there seems to be no danger around them in the Federation, and the scene that should have been shouting or hugging each other has become so weird.

After being silent for a long time, Levi picked up the wine glass and swallowed it, pursed his lips fiercely, and asked: "After I was released from prison, I went to Xianglan Avenue to see, the repair shop was converted into a protein meat distribution station, I originally thought you were dead, but I was brought back from Bermuda by those people last year, and I knew that you were still alive, I want to ask you a question...... Is the repair shop owner dead?"

"Hmm. Xu Le slowly drank the wine in the cup, and found that the transparent liquid was much more spicy than the amber spirits he usually drank, and his nose was a little uncomfortable.

He was spacious in appearance, indifferent in heart, and finally moved his tearful uncle when he parted with life and death...... Ben has great confidence, after all, the uncle is the most wanted criminal in the Federation, and the incarnation of three thousand interstellar drifters, where is it so easy to die, but three years have passed, and the uncle has no news at all, plus he once witnessed the white pillar of light of the battleship's main gun, and he can only gradually admit in his heart that someone has left forever.

Li Wei's expression seemed a little more depressed, he was different from Xu Le, he had been living helplessly in society, and he had never had the opportunity to take a look at the scenery of the upper class and taste the world of the big guys, so although he had a little bit of wisdom and perseverance, he had not yet learned to be happy and angry after all.

"I have something to tell you. ”

Almost at the same time, Xu Le and Levi put down their wine glasses and said the same thing. The two of them looked at each other, and after being stunned, after all, Xu Le opened his mouth first, he looked at Levi's face, and said seriously and apologetically: "Because of that electric baton, you were in prison for a year, and then you were kidnapped and taken to Bermuda......"

The sentence was not finished, because Levi was glaring at him with a strange gaze, scratching his head, and then laughing bitterly uncontrollably.

"What's wrong?" Xu Le asked.

Levi smiled a little bitterly and said, "Do you know what I want to say? I want to ask for your forgiveness, after all, the electric shock baton flowed from my hand, and it is all my fault that the political axe will deal with the owner of the repair shop and will want you." ”

"You called me for the million after I was released from prison, right?" Levi looked at Xu Le's face and said with emotion: "I was kidnapped by those big people and went to Bermuda, and you rescued me after all, right?"

"I've always felt like I'm sorry for you. Xu Le muttered.

Levi muttered, "I think so too. ”

The heavy silence after the reunion is actually just between these two friends who grew up together, and they have a deep sense of regret for each other, and this sense of apology lies between the two.

The two men looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed at the same time, just like many years ago on the sidewalk of Clock Tower Street, looking through the glass of the tavern at the television curtain inside, and the two orphans laughed heartily at the not-so-funny plot of the family comedy. They also used to have their eyes lit up for the cute little girl who played the orphan girl, but at that time they were not old enough and had no money left to buy wine, but now it is different.

"Boss, come on some bottles. ”

"Do you want to call those people in the car to come down and drink together? Are those people really your subordinates?"

"Who knows? Not to mention, I still have a little status in the army. ”

"Two years ago, you sent me 1 million, do you know what I used it for? Lao Tzu bought Bao Longtao from the second game! Gathering people, it only took six months, and it occupied three blocks...... Three!"

......

......

3,000 kilometers away from the capital zone, the autumn mood in the capital of Qixia Prefecture is not too strong. With the lieutenant colonel military ID, Xu Le took a free supersonic plane and arrived in this large state famous for its autumn and red leaves, he took the address left by Mrs. Zhong, got into a taxi, and looked out the window at the autumn trees on the street that had just begun to change color, but did not have time to be red to transparent, but looked a little messy, and remembered a lot of past events.

The federal autumn festival has been around for a long time, and no one can say clearly whether it is to use a lively parade to remove the desolation of autumn, or to give housewives a chance to clean up in autumn. The place where Xu Le was going today was on the outskirts of the state capital, so the taxi was not stopped by the procession.

The reason why he chose a day to come to Mrs. Zhong's invitation during the vacation with very little time was because he owed the other party a great favor, and he really missed the little girl.

In the past, Xu Le would never have any contact with Xilin's Zhong family, and the card had not been used for so long in the bag, firstly, because the special aircraft combat team under Xilin's tiger, such as Colonel Lake, had seen his own face, and contact with the other party was very likely to expose his true face as a federal wanted criminal, and secondly, because of ...... Although it was to carry out military orders, Uncle Feng Yu died under the main guns of the Xilin people's battleship after all, and as a student, even if he did not avenge him, it was impossible to be close to the other party.

However, now because of the old man's relationship, because of his strange relationship with the glory of the Charter, Xu Le no longer needs to worry about the identity of the federal fugitive. As for the uncle's death, after a night of drunken conversation with Levi, he unconsciously became a lot more indifferent. So he handed over Levi's safety to the men of Group 7, but he quietly got rid of them and came to Qixia.

This is a big house in the suburbs, and the ancient bell company, as a giant company in the federation, where its chairman and daughter live, and the residence of the seven families, is not a manor, which has already made Xu Le feel a little surprised.

was welcomed into the first floor of the villa by a polite and respectful housekeeper, looking at Mrs. Zhong who was standing behind the door to greet him, Xu Le didn't have time to say anything, and then heard a deep and lazy and even a little shameless voice.

"Three young people are here?"

Xu Le turned his head in astonishment, and saw a chubby round face, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he looked harmless to humans and animals, but only occasionally a cold light passed through the narrow eyes, which made people feel his extreme danger.

Xu Le was once kicked by this person, and he always kept it in mind, deliberately imitated and learned, and turned that sharp leg into his own killer skill, naturally he never forgot the danger of this person, and said with a bitter face: "Hello Captain Tian." ”

"Not good. Tian Fatzi looked at him in great pain and said, "You have deceived people...... Back on the ship, you refused to fight with others with your real skills, which made me think that you were not a genius in self-cultivation...... Otherwise, they must be the first person in the Federation to know about your relationship with the Lao Li family. ”

Xu Le only felt numb all over his body and couldn't answer, but fortunately, Mrs. Zhong stopped drinking: "Dead fatty! ”

Tian Fatzi trembled, and immediately raised his head with a solemn face, and actually put on the demeanor of a person like Du Shaoqing.

Xu Le didn't have time to appreciate the face-changing ability of this fierce character, raised his head and looked towards the stairs, and saw the little girl jumping down at a glance.

The little girl was wearing a white puffy skirt, the cute red shoes were crunching on the stairs, the knee-length pale socks and a pale flower pinned to the top of her head were beautiful, especially the black hair, as was cut very neatly back then, and the bangs in the picture rose and fell mischievously with her movements.

It's really like a piece of watermelon rind, and of course, it's a very cute kind.

......

......

The villa's autumn festival was only for the four of them. Xu Le's warm mood after seeing the little watermelon gradually became a little inexplicable with the silence on the dining table.

From the beginning to the present, the eight-year-old girl Zhong Yanhua has not even looked at him, let Mrs. Zhong smile and tell the things on the ancient bell back then, the little girl still looks indifferent, faintly proud, and only willing to treat Xu Le at the table as a strange guest.

After all, he is just a child, how can he remember that journey like an adult? He comforted himself, but he still felt a little faintly lost in his heart - how could the reunion between Brother Xu Le and the little watermelon be so silent?
