Chapter 115: Brothers (I)
The night is deep, the room is dimly lit, and the electronic sound of medical equipment is like an old-fashioned clock, urging people to return or return
There was no movement in the shadows of the corners. Only the heavy dark green curtains, gently swaying under the blowing of the internal circulation ventilation system, did not walk by a cat, but as if a cat had walked by.
The silence for a long time is like a blank space in the human mind, not knowing the specific minutes and seconds, only knowing that it exists and is long.
Then a voice rang out from the shadows.
"No, this is not my home. You forget, our home is behind the mountain, four kilometers away from the Slim House. There are no neon signs, no such big private lake. There are also no hundred) stupid GIs acting as bodyguards: "This is just your home, the tomb of the living dead that the Federation has built for you, a cold palace."
Feng Yu's voice was as hoarse and cold as Bian for many years. There is a kind of mockery and frivolity that is difficult for anyone to imitate. It sounds like a young bastard screaming among poor green girls on a retro motorcycle, but with some kind of sleep-prone coolness that sits cross-legged on the old moon mountain and squints at the marshmallow-like storm.
Li Pifu on the hospital bed quietly looked at the shadows in the corner. The eyes are calm and weak, but the voice that answers doesn't know why, and there are a lot of mocking colors, as a federal military god, in this long life, probably only in front of this person. Only then can he feel true reciprocity, and thus have a certain freedom.
"I haven't seen you for decades, and this is probably the last time we will meet, and I don't want to repeat those boring quarrels with you
The old man frowned painfully, waved his hand a little annoyed, and continued: "You choose to come to see me last, it won't be to fight with me again
"Why don't you Zhi?" the voice in the shadows sounded quickly, with a hint of uncomfortably sharp, "You are about to die, of course I have to make these things clear before you die, otherwise after you die, who will I go to reason? Your son? Or your grandson? Or is it the girl who smears black shoe polish on his face every day? By the way, old man, do you think that the girl president really thinks that he can look more gentleman by blacking himself out? Or is he really addicted to pretending to be a miner?"
Although the expression of the person in the shadow of the corner could not be seen. But it is conceivable that when he said this harshly, his facial features must have been very relaxed and mocking.
"I don't want to talk to you about these boring things, and the old man on the hospital bed categorically stopped the conversation in this direction, although his arm trembled very much. "I started fighting at the age of seven or eight. I don't want to fight at the age of seventy or eighty, "I'm going to die, I want to keep the right not to listen to your nonsense, if you have to continue fighting." Then I'll just die
"Don't scare me with death, don't pretend to be dead, I know you best in this universe, even if you only have your last breath left, your breath can definitely support you to jump out of bed and slap me again. ”
Feng Yu sat calmly in the shadows, unable to see the outline of his body at all, only through the sound and the reflection of the faint starlight outside the window. vaguely captured a certain existence, when Li Pifu indifferently said that he was going to die. His sitting posture leaned forward slightly, and then finally turned into mockery.
"I have to admit that when it comes to fights and brawls. There's no one in the universe who is your opponent, and neither am I, so I have to keep a long enough distance from you. Otherwise, you really jumped up from the bed and slapped me to death, but you used up the last breath and burped with a burp, "My brother died on the same day, this kind of ending seems too bloody." I don't want to take it. ”
There was a snap of a lighter that lit up the corners of the wall. The dark green curtains seemed to turn into ammunition bound by blue flames in the warm firelight, and the face under the hat, which was still young despite the vicissitudes of life, flashed and disappeared, only the cigarette butt lit and dimmed in the dark.
"Actually, I've been wondering, if you really come to see me for the last time, should I set a trap to catch you, or kill you" This may be the last chance, I'll die, and after that, probably no one will be able to deal with you again
Li Pifu's withered hands gently brushed the white futon, and his hoarse and tired voice echoed in his shriveled chest.
After a pause, he smiled hard and continued to sigh in a low voice: "But I didn't do it, because, even if I laid out the plan, I can't be sure if the troops can catch you or kill you, and the more important reason is that I have done enough for the Federation in my life, and in the end, I should be qualified to live an ordinary life." ”
The old man looked at the immovable red point of light in the dark corner, and said calmly: "In this last breath, I don't want to fight with you, I just want to talk to you." "Old man, you're still so narcissistic. In fact, you've been alive for decades, but you can't kill me. As for Yu Lei after your death, it is actually much more exciting than you imagined. Your grandson, Huaifucha's strong girl, and Xu Le, maybe they can all deal with me, the problem is that in addition to your old stubbornness. Who would think about dealing with their own brother every day?
The man in the shadows stiffened and took a hard puff of his cigarette. The voice was light and mocking, as the smoke filled the room.
Then he flexed the middle finger of his right hand, clamped the lower end of the cigarette filter with his thumb, and flicked it, and the burning cigarette rolled like a missile that traveled through the air of the Imperial planet at high speed. Bounced at Li Pifu on the hospital bed.
The entire universe recognized that the dying old man was dying and unable to move, and the cigarette should be directly leaked on the ground. Then a spark of humiliation was splashed, but it was not the case, and the old man, who was weak and tired and had only his last breath, raised his right arm with difficulty and parted two fingers. Grip the cigarette roll with incredible accuracy. Then I took a sip to my lips, and the old cheeks, which were full of spots and loose skin, showed a great feeling of enjoyment.
It was very skillful in cooperating, probably a few decades ago, at the beginning of the 37th constitutional calendar and even in the last few years of the last constitutional calendar. The brothers greedily shared the cigarettes of their elders behind the Philadelphia Hills.
"Regarding the younger generation, I have to admit that you are better than me when it comes to education. I'm not good at teaching. will only use facts to take people away, so in the process of teaching Li Feng, I will only use bloody psychological means and unhealthy medical methods to stimulate his meridian development, and when I first saw Xu Le, the little guy, a few years ago, I found out that you had taken him farther away. ”
Again, you don't need to be humble about fighting like that, because that would seem hypocritical, and this kind of situation will only prove that you are unlucky. ”
The man in the shadow lit another cigarette, and still only a glimpse of his face appeared, and said: "Bloodline inheritance has never been a stable thing, our old Li family's generation is not as common as the generation, and the teacher said when I was a child, some people are naturally suitable for practicing these, Xu Le is like this, and the girl who looks like a man in the empire is also like this." ”
He looked at Bed Seven's brother from the shadows, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Actually, I taught Xu Le ten. The posture, in addition to stimulating the true qi, is to restrain the flow of Philadelphia self-cultivation. That is, to deal with you and your filial sons and grandchildren. ”
Li Pifu's old and frail face did not show the slightest surprise, and he said mockingly: "When I first knew that you existed as a student a few years ago, I knew that you were engaged in a conspiracy again. George Carlin, Professor Jin, mechanic Yu Feng, Feng Yu, it seems that you have been constantly engaging in conspiracies all your life, but the funny thing is that it seems that none of your conspiracy can be maintained until the day of success, you always leave it alone halfway through, Xu Le, it seems that this is also the case. ”
"I like to play conspiracy?" The voice in the shadows became sharp, and he said mockingly: "You are an old guy who has been retired from the army for more than ten years, and you throw the marshal's uniform into the closet to become moldy, how light and light, fame and fortune, but you will never forget to let your conservative son control the army before you die, and wait for my stupid student Xu Le to grow up and throw Du Shaoqing to the front line to fight, you have already arranged everything." ”
"Yes, that's my arrangement. Li Pifu gently pinched the cigarette roll and said in a calm and low voice: "What about you? What is your arrangement?"
"There was no arrangement. Feng Yu waved his cigarette butt in the shadows and said disdainfully: "Qinglong Mountain?student?These things are not fun, I don't want to play for a long time." ”
Li Pifu shook his head with difficulty, and said with emotion: "Thinking of your life, even I have to be shocked, to be honest, sometimes I think that my younger brother has caused so much trouble in the Federation, I actually have some faint pride that cannot be declared. ”
"Although you have surprised me a little, I still have to finish my sentence. Feng Yu in the shadows looked at his brother on the bed, and said indifferently: "I'm not a conspirator, you are the biggest conspirator of this Yulei." ”
"Do you want to argue again?" Li Pifu coughed uncomfortably twice, staring angrily and gloomily at the dark corner, "Do you want to deny that Xu Le is behind the cultivation of Xu Le." You are not hiding any conspiracy?"
"Of course not. Feng Yu said: "He is a well-behaved and cute puppy, he can take care of the home and make fun of the house, so I picked it up and raised it at home, as for finding out that this is a very talented puppy, it was a later thing." "Don't try to explain anything, hide something. Li Pifu looked indifferently at the dark corner and said, "Maybe this proves that you also have some kind of guilt." ”
"Guilty?" The man became angry, waved his arms excitedly, and said, "I taught him to repair mechas, teach him to make mechas." Teach him to use a mech. Teach him to fight, teach him to kill cattle. Teaching him to eat cows and teaching him to enjoy life, what is there for me to feel guilty about? Old man, if you really think that there is a conspiracy behind this matter, will you not look into it with your character?"
"No need to look it up. Li Pifu mocked and disdainfully said: "I also know that there is a conspiracy. ”
"There is no conspiracy. ”
"There is a conspiracy. ”
"Nope!"
"Yes!"
In the quiet room in the middle of the night, the sound of fierce and childish arguments sounded like children.
Li Pifu and Feng Yu are undoubtedly the thirty-seven constitutional calendars, no, it should be said that they are the most incredible pair of brothers in the long history, they stand arrogantly in the stars between the Federation and the Empire. It has influenced the world we live in for decades.
They have influenced history, changed history, and even though they themselves are history, they seem to be very different in age, but in fact they are already dying, carrying the dust of history.
Just like that, a pair of brothers, tonight on the shores of Philadelphia Lake, in their hospital beds, in the shadows, angrily accusing each other like children, arguing, spitting out the spit of old age and dying, they can admit defeat, but they resolutely refuse to admit their mistakes.
