[Military Text] Special Era

Chapter 89

Huang Quan said that this is a road leading to Huang Quan, so he named him Huang Quan, just like in ancient times, the lower the name of a child, the easier it is to support him. He has not married a wife yet, and he does not want to die young.

When Wen Rui looked back, he always felt that Major General Zu was much older than when he first met him, especially when he looked at Zu Shaoyou with strong emotions hidden deep in his pupils. "Wen Rui." The old man raised his hand and waved it slowly. Wen Rui took a few steps, turned back, and stood in front of the old man.

Across the border is a lush green rainforest with towering trees and swaying orchids.That's right, Wen Rui once again came to the border between China and Laos. Going forward, after the rainforest is the Luang Nam Pagoda hidden in the mountains.

"I hope you can remember my words." Major General Zu said to Wen Rui: "The current international situation is quite severe. Some people in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia are ready to move. The purpose of your trip is only to find out who is behind the scenes. It is reported that he is Asian, find him and pass the news back to China, and your mission will be completed.”

"Red Dawn" was once the name of a movie full of inflammatory dialogues such as "kill the Chinese", and now it seems to be the name of an anti-China organization entrenched in Southeast Asia and India.Major General Zu said that there are domestic officials colluding with the Red Dawn organization, and his wife and children are in the United States, but there is no evidence.Of course, this is not the point. The point is that many Chinese agents have gone deep into this organization to collect a lot of evidence, but the leader behind the scenes has never been seen, and the second in command of the organization was Zu Shaoyou's younger brother. They stayed in the United States in the early years A period of time, specifically about eight or nine years old.Luang Namtha Province in Laos used to be the place where the most opium was produced in the Golden Triangle. The grandfather of the second-in-command was a colonel of the remnant of the National Army.

"Xiao Zhang." Major General Zu turned his head and called out to his orderly.The second lieutenant ran over, saluted Wen Rui, and then handed him an object wrapped in colored paper, which he weighed in his hand, not heavy, like a book.

Wen Rui began to be in a trance, something sprouted in his heart, and gorgeous fruits grew, grateful and at ease.With Major General Zu's acquiescence, he hastily tore open the wrapping paper. It was a book, a brand new "The End of the World and the Cold Wonderland".

"This?" Wen Rui's fingers were stiff, because besides those three words, there were a few more sentences below.

"I'm fine here, don't read. I liked a song recently, maybe you will like it too." Then there is a line of lyrics attached below, "I can't see your lies, scattered at the moment you disappear." Shuimunianhua's "Cold Wonderland", a very sad song, Wen Rui once heard it at a street performer at a subway station in winter.

The cold moon rises in the sky, quietly tearing apart my loneliness.Fallen leaves spread under my feet, covering my barren thoughts.There used to be only you and me in the world, Eden who accompanied each other and loved each other.We were so attached, the oath under the tree at that moment.I can't see your lies, frozen in the moment you disappear.I can't open my eyes of despair, in this world without love and hate.Why do you start to get bored, beauty is ordinary, love is simple.Why am I still here, clinging to the past you have forgotten.I can't see your lies, scattered in the moment you disappear.I can't live without the illusion of dreams, in this eternity without you.

"Help me keep an eye on him." Major General Zu said solemnly.

After taking the medicine, Zu Shaoyou returned to a state of vigor and vitality, staring thoughtfully at the book in Wen Rui's hand.Wen Rui's expression was very complicated. He wanted to find something on Major General Zu's face, and it seemed to be the answer.

"Let's go." Major General Zu resumed his full voice, "We will contact your family, please rest assured."

family?The awareness of family members is too weak. Recently, Wen Rui's mind is full of Zu Tiange and Zu Shaoyou, and there is no extra space for his family.If he couldn't go back, his father would lose his son again, which would be bad news for a man over half a century old.

"Thank you." Wen Rui replied with his head down.

Zu Shaoyou was already impatient, Huang Quan watched coldly with his passport in his hand.

This is Mengla. After leaving the country, the three will enter Boten, Laos disguised as ordinary tourists, and then go to Luang Namtha to meet with the pre-arranged connector.When Wen Rui left, he took one last look at Major General Zu. His weather-beaten, ravine-covered face looked solemn, his lips pursed into an arc, and he followed Zu Shaoyou all the time.Why?Why is he showing such a look here?Wen Rui was very confused for a moment, and the questions in his subconscious were like bubbles rising to the surface of the water, slowly bursting and splashing water droplets.

"Help me keep an eye on him."

Help me... look after... him?

Wen Rui quickly followed Zu Shaoyou, who seemed dissatisfied with Huang Quan's pointing, and was saying something mockingly with a gloomy face. "Are you afraid of death?" Zu Shaoyou glanced at Wen Rui, then turned to Huang Quan, "Do you think I'll betray you in the Red Dawn?"

"That's impossible." Huang Quan sneered, "You will never know where the medicine is. After we die, you will be buried with us."

"What if I'm not afraid of death?" Zu Shaoyou raised his eyebrows contemptuously.

"Death deserves it." Huang Quan no longer raised an argument, but said this sentence seriously.They had considered this situation a long time ago, and they didn't come unprepared. Besides, Zu Shaoyou didn't really understand himself. At least Huang Quan believed that he understood the other party's heart better than Zu Shaoyou.Zu Shaoyou and Huang Quan had a cold discussion for a while, and then had non-nutritive conversations intermittently for the next few hours.Wen Rui carried a bag and got into the car with the tourists who were going to Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Soon, before the sky darkened, they arrived at Luang Nam Tower.

Luang Namtha is a city hidden in the mountains, with a slow and leisurely pace of life. An asphalt road from south to north connects the busiest restaurants and bars in the city.Zu Shaoyou has stayed in Europe all year round and is used to sweets, but due to family reasons, he is not afraid of chili.However, the native Huangquan agent can't touch any chili, but most of the local dishes in Luang Namtha are spicy, so the two have another dispute over whether to eat Western food or local food.

"I don't understand, are we really here to travel?" Wen Rui interjected lightly.

Huang Quan kept silent, then looked at Wen Rui with a wry smile, "Xiao Liu, why did you expose it?"

Wen Rui's pseudonym was Liu Xuan, a psychologist by profession, and also Huang Quan's assistant.Zu Shaoyou didn't need to change his name, and used his ID to swagger in Luangnan Tower.

"Eat separately!" Zu Shaoyou frowned, looked at Wen Rui and said, "You two won't let me go alone? If so, it's just right."

"You want to be alone?" Wen Rui asked.

Huang Quan rolled his eyes, "It's a good idea!" He gritted his teeth and gave in, following Zu Shaoyou to eat local dishes.

Wen Rui expected this would be the result, and had long been optimistic about a restaurant with good quality and low price. When Zu Shaoyou was enjoying the mellow and sweet beer, he had already started urging Huang Quan to contact the contact person.

Huang Quan said: "Take care of him." Then he walked out, not knowing what to do.

Zu Shaoyou paid for the meal generously, and then told the waiter that there is no need for change.His assets are in the United States, and after leaving China, he can dispose of the money as he pleases.In fact, Zu Shaoyou is a freelance writer who regularly publishes some travel articles and food reviews in magazines and newspapers. It is completely impossible to see that such a person is an extreme anti-China element.

Soon, Huang Quan hurried into the restaurant, lifted his backpack and said, "Follow me." Zu Shaoyou seemed unwilling to move. Of course, he had already left China, so he definitely didn't want to be manipulated by Huang Quan.But unfortunately, he doesn't want to die just yet, and he can't go anywhere until he manages to find a goddamn antidote.Zu Shaoyou looked at Wen Rui, who looked back at him quietly with clear eyes.Zu Shaoyou turned his head, knowing that the soldier in front of him could not betray China, although his attitude towards himself was different from others.

After leaving the restaurant, Huang Quan led them through half of Luang Namta. This city with less than [-] people is too small. Before long, they saw flat fields and rolling hills. "Where are you taking us?" Zu Shaoyou asked impatiently.The sun was about to set, and the yellow color was like an egg yolk hanging in the sky.Wen Rui looked forward, and there was a small four-story gray building standing on the edge of the city, which should be a hotel.

"That." Huang Quan pointed at the hotel, "Shuiyuntian Hotel, opened by a Chinese."

The proprietress of Shuiyuntian Hotel is a Chinese woman, but her dress is not the same as that of local women, except that she is more tidy.She left her prosperous hometown for love in her early years and married to the poorest country in Southeast Asia alone. She did not return to her hometown after her husband died, but continued to guard this land of happy memories.

"She's just an ordinary person." Huang Quan said, "Room 403."

There are three rooms on each floor of the hotel, each with a bed.Huang Quan asked the proprietress to add an extra bed, and insisted on not wanting to sleep with Zu Shaoyou, but he couldn't let Zu Shaoyou sleep alone, so Wen Rui became a sandwich biscuit and was forced to sleep on the same bed with Zu Shaoyou .In fact, it was not Wen Rui but Zu Shaoyou who had a psychological shadow. The bruise on the latter's chin had not completely dissipated, and faint traces could be discerned.

In Luang Namtha in October, it is very cool in the morning and at night.Huang Quan sat on his bed watching TV and didn't mention the connection at all. Wen Rui had no choice but to put on a coat and lean on the bed to flip through the book Zu Tiange gave him.Zu Shaoyou was stunned for a while, his eyes turned around Wen Rui and Huang Quan's luggage, Huang Quan didn't guard against him at all, the medicine was obviously not in the bag, so, is it on his body?

There are dark shadows outside the window, and night is night, unlike many cities in China that claim to be cities that never sleep.Laotian law stipulates a curfew at [-] o'clock, so after ten o'clock, even the number of pedestrians in tourist areas will decrease.Huang Quan turned off the TV and fell asleep, breathing steadily, as if he was really asleep.Wen Rui read a book, Zu Shaoyou propped his head to look at him, there was only a small desk lamp in the room emitting a soft light, in a trance, Wen Rui thought that the person by his side was Zu Tiange.

"What are you looking at?" Zu Shaoyou asked lazily.

"Book." Wen Rui replied.

"Nonsense, what book do I ask you?" Zu Shaoyou wanted to grab it, but Wen Rui avoided it. "It's boring." He was disappointed, so he turned over and lay down, with his back to Wen Rui.

It's like this again... Wen Rui stared at Zu Shaoyou's back fascinatedly. How can anyone believe that they are almost the same height and shape?Apart from that scar, what else can prove that he is Zu Tiange?

Evidence that cannot be easily disguised, will not...

Wen Rui's cheeks suddenly flushed twice, Zu Shaoyou seemed to feel something, turned around, and happened to see Wen Rui's flushed face.Zu Shaoyou found it interesting, so he moved closer to grab Wen Rui's book, "What's the content?"

After getting the book, Zu Shaoyou's first reaction was, "Strange title."

"Your Mandarin is pretty good, how do you write Chinese characters?" Just as Wen Rui finished speaking, Huang Quan turned over on the opposite side.

Zu Shaoyou stared at Wen Rui with a half-smile, touched his chin, took out a paper and a pen from his bag and wrote down his name. The handwriting was beautiful, but it was completely different from Zu Tiange.

"Is it me who writes well, or the person in the book writes well?" Zu Shaoyou asked deliberately, "You actually want to make a comparison."

Wen Rui neither admitted nor denied it.

"His name is Zu Tiange, and he is my younger brother." Zu Shaoyou continued.

Wen Rui was taken aback, but remained calm on the surface.

"The old man has already said that." Zu Shaoyou returned the book to Wen Rui, "He said that we look very similar."

Wen Rui nodded.

"How similar is it?" Zu Shaoyou asked with his face up. From this angle, we could see that Wen Rui's eyelashes left an arc-shaped shadow on the lower eyelid.

How similar?What the hell is this old man trying to do.An idea suddenly formed in Wen Rui's mind, whimsical, extremely weird but totally feasible.
