All the little white rabbits adore me

Chapter 35 The Eve of the Storm

"Di-"

"Di-"

When Xie Jiu opened his eyes, he was wearing a hospital gown, with people coming and going through the one-way viewing glass.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting next to him, was steadily peeling an apple with a fruit knife.

With a particularly focused expression, he cut the apples on the table into cubes of similar shape, and stuffed them into a small bowl.Finally, tear off the toothpick package next to it.

A bamboo stick is inserted on the apple block like a flagpole...

Seeing that Jiang Yan was busy and serious, Xie Jiu was rarely in the mood for a joke.

He slowly sat up from the bed, then pulled out the dropper inserted in the back of his hand, and wrapped it around the bedpost to make it silent...

Jiang Yan's back was still so upright, as if a steel plate had been stuffed into his back.Xie Jiu pinched the tip of his nose and raised the corners of his eyes with his hands, and finally adjusted it into the shape of a fox.

"Eat."

Jiang Yan seemed to have eyes behind him, he turned around and handed the small bowl to Xie Jiu.Xie Jiu still kept making faces.The small bowl in front of you remains in the air.

Seeing that he didn't reach out to take it, Jiang Yan even passed the bowl forward.

The wind gently blew the bell in front of the window, Xie Jiu held the bowl in frustration and looked at the clouds passing by and the bright sunshine pouring down.

It turns out that it's already summer... Looking down from the window, you can see new leaves sprouting everywhere.

The ward smelled of lemon air freshener and disinfectant.

Xie Jiu picked up a toothpick and began to eat the apple, while flipping through the newspaper next to him with the other hand.The place of exile he went to around the end of October.

But today's date is clearly written on the newspaper: April NO.17.

More than six months have passed.

"This is not a dream... I am really back."

"Well, and you have been in a coma for three full days after you came back from the exile. Now it is the morning of the fourth day. Everyone in the group is very worried about you." Jiang Yan paused.

"The key in Buddy's leg can indeed open the safe of the Bank of Country A. Your mission has been successfully completed."

The air was quiet for a second, and outside the window was the lively Cicada Shiyu.

Jiang Yan pointed to several large boxes of gift boxes next to the ward.Xie Jiu realized that the things beside his bed had piled up like a hill.

"During the few days when you were unconscious, members of the team came to see you. Everyone wore a solemn face and wore a well-pressed uniform, and then placed the gift next to you who was still unconscious at the time. The gift came from a photo box From polo sweets...in the end, there were so many that they could only be placed in the group's locker. Finally, when they went out, they still looked back reluctantly, as if "Queen Mary's Funeral Song" was playing in the air."

"Is this some new cold joke..."

Xie Jiu could see rows of pine cones and kraft paper boxes wrapped in white wool, as well as satin packages tied with gray feathers and colorful stars that were about to fall like dominoes.

There are even robin egg blue gift boxes under the piles of health supplement bottles and cans.

The most conspicuous thing is the vase on the bedside table next to it. I don't know who put a large bouquet of bird-of-paradise flowers in it.

God, orange-yellow birds of paradise... Are they here for a doctor or a funeral?

Also tied at the bottom of the bouquet is a beige cardstock with a small red heart drawn on it.Xie Jiu's heart moved, and he opened the jammed paper.

【To the bravest executive, Mr. Xie Jiu: I heard your thrilling stories in the exiled land, and you can get the most critical clues from the target code-named 'Neil'.We are deeply impressed!Here also sincerely wish you a speedy recovery!Looking forward to meeting you at the celebration banquet!Sincerely, all the reservists of the executive team. 】

Xie Jiu shook the paper, and the greeting card actually sang.It's like a small idea that has been recorded long ago.

"what is this?"

There was no response for a long while.Xie Jiu looked up and saw that the place where Jiang Yan was just now was empty.

He looked around—the gift was still there, a large handful of birds of paradise was there, and even the freshly peeled apples were neatly placed there.

But the man who just slowly cut the apple into small pieces with a fruit knife disappeared!

A gust of wind blew in, just enough to rattle the greeting cards on the table.

...Bai, did you see a ghost in the daytime?

Xie Jiu still maintained that posture when the nurse came to make rounds in white uniform.After answering the nurse's request one by one, Xie Jiu asked suddenly.

"Did anyone come here with black-rimmed glasses just now? With such a face..." Xie Jiu pulled the corners of his mouth down a few degrees with his fingers.

"He has an expression like someone always owes him money...about 30 years old, like you can see meticulous company white-collar workers with briefcases everywhere on the road every day."

The nurse who was about to push the door out was obviously puzzled for a few seconds. She flipped through the visitor record book in her hand, then shook her head.

Xie Jiu suddenly remembered the story he had heard before: it was probably about a group of young people who were suddenly hungry while singing at night, and ate at the only restaurant with a neon sign on the side of the road. He fell asleep directly in the store.But when the group woke up the next day, they found themselves lying on the street. After a while of nausea, they pulled out dirty dirt from their throats...

Suddenly, a little chill appeared on his body, and a small piece of apple got stuck in his throat for a moment, whether he spit it up or swallowed it.

The ward couldn't stay any longer.

After gently pushing the door open, Xie Jiu took two quick steps and blended into the crowd silently under the cover of the huge bird of paradise...

The camouflage is first-class, and the effect is also first-class!

It's just that if those executives know that he has used the results of his training in this area, he will probably vomit blood in anger.

Right in front of the entrance of the hospital is a spacious road, and the first restaurant after crossing the traffic light is emitting the smell of beef powder.

Still stepping on the hospital slippers, Xie Jiu threw away the bouquet in his hand. He sniffed the smell of beef stew sauce, and couldn't help reaching into his pocket.

empty?

Xie Jiu stood on the street with people coming and going, and used both hands to quickly touch all the places that could be reached in his body. He even turned the soles of his shoes over and over twice to look at them.

Finally he established a fact.

The pocket was cleaner than his face at this time, not even a steel coin could be turned out.

... I don't know if today's almanac is marked in red saying that it is not suitable to travel.

Xie Jiu had originally sneaked out, but for a while he was in a hospital gown and stared blankly on the street, which became very noticeable.The people who passed by cast their sincere eyes on him.

At this moment, his left shoulder was hit hard.

The person who came was swiping his phone with his right hand, but he buttoned his cuff tightly to the top of his wrist in the summer.

A pair of large gold-rimmed sunglasses rests firmly on the bridge of the nose.Seeing that he hit someone, he pushed the sunglasses holder down with his manicured nails...

"I'm sorry I'm sorry..."

Xie Jiu only felt a special and strong fragrance blowing towards his face.

"fine."

The man stretched his hand straight to Xie Jiu's shoulder, as if he wanted to help confirm the injury.

Xie Jiu habitually took a step back to avoid it.The man's voice became more gentle.

"You are a patient, what should you do if something goes wrong with this collision. Wait a moment, and I will get you the money right away."

"It's not a big deal, you don't have to..."

The man completely ignored Xie Jiu's overt and implicit rejection in his words.He frantically put down the phone, rummaged through the left inner pocket for a while, and then hurriedly opened the zipper of the briefcase.

Xie Jiu said that he was fine and wanted to move forward, but the man stood in front of him inadvertently...

"What if something happens, I've got this serious illness and minor illness inadvertently, I'm not sure what the consequences will be..."

"I said it's fine, please let me go." Xie Jiu was straightforward.

The man who had nothing to answer resentfully put down his hand.

At this moment, Xie Jiu's stomach let out a clear "grunt" sound.

For a moment, the chirping of cicadas seemed to have stopped.

The man laughed suddenly, and then patted Xie Jiu on the shoulder exaggeratedly.

"It's just lunch time, and I don't have anything to do here now. So, as an apology, I invite you to dinner, do you think it's okay?"

It's obviously the party that treats guests, but the man in front of him seems to have picked up some big bargains.This appearance made Xie Jiu suspicious.

I haven't seen you for a few months, now the people in country D have become so simple and warm?

……

Huluhulu finished the beef noodles in one meal, and the tumbling heat wave hit his face.Xie Jiu drank the cold beer next to him when he ate it hot.

He was indeed hungry. It was fine if he didn't eat the apple just now, but eating it awakened his internal organs.

If he didn't eat anymore, he could just snatch the rougamo from the little boy across the street and eat it...

Xie Jiu hadn't tasted salty or spicy in his mouth for a long time, and for a moment he forgot all the nurse's instructions.After eating half a bowl of beef noodles, I feel like I have been reborn.

"...you don't want to eat?"

The man tactfully pushed the untouched hot beef noodles towards Xie Jiu.

The sound of snorting beef noodles echoed in the shop again.The man on the opposite side just watched Xie Jiu eating beef noodles with his chin propped up, and Xie Jiu felt a little embarrassed because of his eyes.

Seeing Xie Jiu put down his chopsticks, the man asked as if he had finally found a space.

"Are you a patient of Sacred Heart Hospital?"

Xie Jiu was a little dazed, following the man's line of sight, he pinched the front of his shirt to have a look. The four blue characters "Sacred Heart Hospital" are boldly embroidered on it.

Xie Jiu wiped his mouth casually with the napkin in the small wooden box on the table, and admitted generously.

"I almost forgot to introduce myself. We can be regarded as 'unknown'. My name is Yan You." The man smiled.

Just as Xie Jiu was about to speak, he heard Yan You continue: "Speaking of which, I heard that the famous executive is also recuperating in that hospital..."

Xie Jiu, who was about to introduce himself in a friendly manner, stopped. He swallowed the bubbly wine with all his strength, and finally touched his mouth pretending to ask casually.

"What executive?"

"Haven't you heard of the famous executor who just came back from the mission... I heard that he is very handsome, so it's worth looking forward to."

"Period... what to expect."

Xie Jiu stuttered.At this time, the spacious hospital gown mixed with the strong perfume smell from Yan You on the opposite side made him a little breathless, and he unbuttoned the first button.

"Tomorrow's celebration banquet will be broadcast live. He is a big celebrity. There will be countless important officials to join him. I heard that the federal superiors will also send people to attend..."

Celebration... a celebration banquet?

Reminiscent of the celebration banquet mentioned in the greeting card just now, Xie Jiu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.Just at this moment, a piece of news was played on the flickering screen of the old TV in the beef noodle shop.

"Recently, the executor of the federal executive team has finally returned to China. The executor who has perfectly completed the most important battle of country A has attracted much attention. This station understands that the executor seems to have a very special status in the team and has excellent combat power. At the same time The gifts he received have almost piled up to the roof at this time..."

Immediately afterwards, the screen swept across the ward, and Xie Jiu could see the flashing figure on the bed from among the piles of gift boxes and layers of security guards, it was him lying down...

The chopsticks in Xie Jiu's hand fell to the ground with a crisp "click".

"Oh, that executive seems to look quite like you."

Yan You didn't seem to notice Xie Jiu's gaffe. In this scented fly restaurant, he even bent down to pick up the chopsticks that fell on the floor.

Xie Jiu took out two wooden chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet next to him again, and continued to eat beef noodles "snorting", but the chewy vermicelli became tasteless.

On the other hand, Yan You seems to have turned on the chatterbox mode.

"The executor is said to have completed the task brilliantly in the hands of the terrifying tyrant of country A, and has become a heroic existence at this moment. Although it is said that he will withdraw from the executive team after completing this task out of his own will."

Seeing Xie Jiu put down the bowl, Yan You still unconsciously pinched his nails.

Xie Jiu glanced at it.There seemed to be something red on the nails of the man opposite, and the broken pieces looked like glistening bugs on the table.

For a moment, his stomach felt nauseous, and the beef noodles he ate surged up in waves.

Xie Jiu put down his chopsticks.

"I'm sorry to say it, but I bumped into you because I was staring at your hospital gown all the time... Besides, it is said that tomorrow's celebration banquet will be directly taken over by the federal superiors, and has been instructed to organize it properly. Everything is based on the highest standard .”

"I'm so envious. Didn't the executive team say that as long as they recruit a sweeper, they'll look like they've been reshaped into gold when they come out?"

Yan You is still talking, he seems to be extremely interested in this matter.

On the surface, Xie Jiu even said a few perfunctory words to Yan You, but in fact, he was already panicked to death in his heart, and he felt everything for a while.

What does it mean if the celebration banquet is broadcast live... But anyone who pays attention to online news and cable TV will know that this matter will definitely spread on a huge scale.

Why did the executive team do this kind of thing... The key is that Neil will definitely see it!

The timing is right.The celebration banquet was also broadcast in real time, did the previous non-disclosure agreement become a fart?The celebration banquet this time seemed to slap Neil in the face across the ocean... It was like pinching someone's neck and mocking his incompetence.

It can be said that Xie Jiu used his crooked ability to cheat the key. He knew that the executive team knew about it, but other people didn't.

It is conceivable that the logic in the eyes of the masses must be that the executive team is resourceful, wise and powerful.And the executive officer Xie Jiu is a hero who easily plays with dangerous people like a cat playing with a mouse...

The executive team can use this action as a "justice" propaganda.But for Xie Jiu, this is a typical "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge".

Leaving aside the fact that Xie Jiu was labeled as an "executive team" after the exposure, he would be in trouble, but Neil's reaction after seeing the news was enough to make him run tens of thousands of times.

That man was a proud and brutal monarch before, who blocked and killed gods and Buddhas.But Xie Jiu's visit not only got the only weakness in the hands of a man, and made his territory a mess, but also inadvertently peeped into the secret past of his most desolate and helpless childhood.In the end, he fired two shots at him with a snappy "papa".

Now I'm going to blatantly publicize the deeds of defeating him in another country...

In this situation, it is estimated that all the good people in the coffin slab six feet deep from the ground will have to be jumped out alive?

Xie Jiu fought coldly.

No, he can't be stupid and send it to someone's door to be a fat sheep...

For a while, only the sound of the electric fan in the beef noodle shop was heard, and waves of scorching heat hit the front door.

"It's fate that we met each other. Can you tell me your name?"

"Ah, my name is..." Xie Jiu paused for a second, and he pretended to cough.

"My name is Lei Ming, which is a name for doing good deeds without leaving a name."

"Oh oh oh... that's a good name. It's really a youthful achievement, and it's full of heroic spirit."

Yan You finally stopped nailing his nails, and the crumbs formed a small powder on the table.He picked up the sunglasses that were carefully placed on the cushion, and wrapped the nails with a tissue.

The corner of Xie Jiu's mouth twitched, he had no intention of having dinner with Yan You anymore, and he walked out of the shop after messing around.

After thinking for a while, Xie Jiu took the borrowed IC card and walked into the public phone booth on the corner with his head down.

As passers-by came and went, Xie Jiu stood in front of the transparent glass of the yellow phone booth for a while.

He finally pressed out the string of numbers he knew by heart.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very aggressive.

"..."

"Hey, hello? If you have a fart, let it go and don't delay Grandpa Hupai!"

"It's me...Xie Jiu."
