He politely asked Xu Le to take off his backpack, and the cold metal detector rod rudely pressed against the back of Xu Le's neck. The soldier in charge of the inspection glanced at the information on the small light screen between his elbows, smiled at Xu Le, and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother, he looks young."
Xu Le's smile was a little reluctant, and the corners of his lips became more natural after a few moments. He put his backpack on his back and said, "Squatting in the pit, you can't see the sun all day long, you have to be willing to go."
There are not many troops in the Donglin garrison, but the most difficult of them is the mine maintenance force, which is also called the squatting pit by the soldiers. The soldier smiled and patted Xu Le's shoulder, and said, "Senior brother had bad luck in the past, isn't it good this time? You can wait for the ship as soon as you retire. After our former squad leader retired, we just waited in the garrison area for half a year. I just waited for the spacecraft sent by the Ministry of Defense."
After a few jokes, because there were still many passengers waiting in line for inspection, the soldier reluctantly let go of Xu Le and waved him over. Xu Le walked a few steps and didn't forget to turn around to say thank you. Everything was very normal. However, when he got into the greyhound bus and leaned on the back of the seat, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat and drenched. clothes.
Xu Le sighed softly, spit out the tension in his body, wiped the sweat from the hair on his forehead, and sat wearily on the soft chair. It was just a checkpoint, and he was already frightened. Fortunately, he had memorized the identity of the camouflage chip on the back of his neck, so he reluctantly passed this checkpoint, but he also thought that in the future, if someone really found it. What should I do if the non-existent mine troop goes there
Being able to pass the inspection easily had nothing to do with Xu Le's luck. The entire Federation has been accustomed to the convenience, speed and accuracy of the federal electronic monitoring network for countless years. Human chips have long replaced ID documents. Except for fingerprint-iris comparisons that may be carried out in some important areas of the Federation, most of the rest of the identity confirmation is done. Relying on the human chip. From the day they were born, every federal citizen was shrouded in the brilliance of the First Charter, so that everyone subconsciously came to the conclusion that the electronic surveillance network will never make mistakes.
In fact, for countless years, the central computer in the Charter Bureau and the electronic surveillance network throughout the federal society have indeed made no mistakes, except... the mechanic and the teenager who was sitting limply on the coach at this time.
Twenty-three days later, in the capital of Fuji State, the sky was gloomy, and Xu Le's heart was also gloomy. He was sitting in a fast food restaurant on the corner of the street, eating the beef noodles in front of him tastelessly. From time to time, he raised his head and looked anxiously at the solemn building in the middle of the street in the distance. He chose to settle his lunch here, precisely because this fast food restaurant was the closest to the Fudge State Court of First Instance, and he could inquire about today's case as soon as possible.
The police car flashed its lights, turned off its siren, and passed quietly on the street outside the fast food restaurant. Xu Le looked out through the glass window, feeling a little dazed at this moment, then lowered his head subconsciously, and buried his face in the large bowl of noodles. He always felt that at the previous moment, he saw the faces of Li Wei and Xiao Qiangzi in the police car.
Li Wei's orphan gang broke up under the attack of the Second Police Station. For some unknown reason, the trial of the case was arranged in the Fudge State Court of First Instance. The federal action to clear the mechanic is a top secret. Naturally, it is impossible for the orphans on Bell Tower Street to be charged with the frivolous charge of colluding with traitors. Li Wei, who was completely unintentional, was finally sentenced to one year in prison. This is because he has just turned ten. Eight-year-old reason.
This result is quite good. The lawyer who wants to come to the government to appoint Li Wei will not recommend that he appeal to the Court of Appeal or even the Circuit Court, but Xu Le still feels very sorry for Li Wei. Not only because of the prison disaster, but also because he knew that Li Wei must feel sorry for himself, because the federal government knew about the existence of Xu Le and the mechanic from his mouth, and more importantly, Li Wei must have thought that Xu Le was at this time. already dead.
"Young man, what are you doing with a frowning face?" The old man sitting opposite Xu Le who was also eating noodles, looked at the sad expression of the young man, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I started pretending to be lonely and imitating despair, which is not good. "
Any old man eating noodles on the street can say such delicious words, Xu Le suddenly felt that God is very blind, and surrounded himself with strange guys. For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to tell, but there was nowhere to tell his secrets. He stared blankly at the old man's wrinkled face and asked, "Old man, have you encountered anything in your life? Big trouble? Is there anything that makes you sad?"
"No." The old man answered very succinctly, with the crispness of the Donglin people, "There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome in this world, if it is really difficult to overcome, it will be your life. Who can fight against fate? It's just that It’s just a little bit bitter, think about when we Donglin people have been afraid of suffering in these years
"But I just want to live honestly, and if there is trouble, it will come to me, even a huge injustice."
"Then don't be too honest." The old man licked the oily soup beside his lips and said, "It's like noodles, you need to be firm, but the noodle soup must be smooth and smooth, so that you won't be bullied in society. "
Donglin Region is rich in stones, but also rich in silent and optimistic people like the old man, and tough as weeds. Xu Le suddenly thought of the people around him in this life, his whole person's emotions calmed down, his heart moved, and he thought of those things that he hadn't thought of because he was tired, nervous and sad these days.
That explosion happened many years ago, and the boss survived. Why can't he survive this time? Maybe the boss is changing another chip at this time, disguised as an old professor in the university, and is deceiving those young female college students? Or maybe the boss has turned into a rookie in the business world at this time, playing with his skills of empty-handed money? It is even possible that the boss is laughing at his own depression and sadness in a corner at this time
Xu Le looked at the old man opposite and said, "You don't know your surname Feng, do you?"
The old man was naturally not Feng. He looked at this nervous young man, sighed, and left with the bowl of noodles in his hand. Xu Le bid farewell to the old man sent by God to wake him up, looked at the noodle soup with a smirk, and understood what kind of person he should be in the future. Just like the noodles in this bowl, he insisted on what he should insist on, and kept his inner tenacity. But achieving this tough form...
The boss may be dead or alive, but he can't see him, and he is walking away in white clothes. is this real? But what's the point? What is the difference between life and death if we do not meet each other? The key is what to do with your future, isn't it
With a smile on Xu Le's face, he cheered for himself secretly in his heart. At this moment, the mentality of this simple and sincere young man finally changed a little, just like a piece of sunshine entering his heart. At this time, the gloomy weather above Fudge finally dissipated, revealing the incomparably beautiful sunshine.
The boy walked out of the restaurant, whistling nervously at the girl coming up the street, tightening the backpack behind him, and walked towards the security area.
