The south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the spring scenery is like brocade, the spring breeze is like drunkenness, and the spring willows are like water.
The bluestone path twists and turns under the ancient walls on both sides. The mottled moss on the wall has silently taken root among the stone slabs. The pink and misty spring rain swept by, and the green became more vivid.
On the trail, three or five young girls in bright clothes came happily with flowers in their hands. The sweet and crisp sounds of Wu dialect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have already made people half drunk.
At the end of the path, there is a flat courtyard three to five meters square, with a small green brick wall and an old black wooden courtyard door. Outside the door, two gardenia trees are in full bloom.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, Yang Tong gently put away the brand new red oil paper umbrella in his hand, gently dropped the fine water drops on the umbrella, stood there, and took a deep breath.
In the fresh and fragrant air, I raised my hand to knock on the door. The black wooden courtyard door opened automatically and made a "squeaking" sound. In the courtyard behind the door, a big man sitting among the jasmine flowers in the garden clapped and laughed: "
Yangtou, why do you have time to see me?"
The muscles on Yang Tong's face twitched a few times, and he cursed in a low voice, almost angrily: "I've told you tens of thousands of times, don't call me Yang Tou!"
The big man sitting in the yard full of jasmine flowers, holding a small teapot in his hand, laughed out loud. His powerful laughter was like a landslide and a tsunami, endless. He turned towards the traditional-style rooms at the back
There was a shout in the small black-tiled and white-walled house: "Xiaohua, Yangtou is here. Go to the butcher at the entrance of the town to buy two legs of dog meat. Pull out a few orange leaves. The old hen at home has just laid a few eggs. Waiting for the dog meat."
After stewing, put the eggs inside, Yang Tou likes this bite!" He put the teapot on the small table in front of him, and the big man stood up and stretched his body, and the joints all over his body made a crisp crackling sound.
He twisted his waist and said with a smile: "Hey, who is the first to spread the word about selling dog meat with a Yangtou hanging on it? But, Yangtou, you like to eat dog meat, but it's not wrong."
Yang Tong, who was gentle and master-like, showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, and shouted angrily: "Okay, I'm afraid of the bad words of you guys, and I can't say any good words!"
Suddenly, a petite girl ran out of the main room behind her. She was wearing black cloth trousers and a moon-white gown. Her eyebrows were like green mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were like the fiery red maple leaves in autumn. She was such a charming girl. She smiled and looked towards her.
Yang Tong nodded and said: "Professor Yang is here? Xiahou, make some tea for Professor Yang first. I'll buy some side dishes and the dog... and I'll be back." Her delicate lips curled up helplessly, as if she was very interested in the dog meat.
fear.
Yang Tong laughed a few times, watched the girl brush against his body like a breeze, turned his head until she was far away, and his face suddenly became extremely serious: "Why, you haven't let her know what you do yet.
?But, this is okay." With a sigh, he walked to Xiahou and slapped him hard on the stomach: "What a sin, this girl as gentle as a crescent moon, how could she be raped by a gorilla like you?
Got hooked? Is there anyone alive if you use such force with your hands?"
Xiahou Hehe Zhile, with a simple and honest smile on his face. Speaking of which, he is also a very handsome man, but his body shape is really scary. He is about 1.9 meters tall, but his shoulder width is about 1 meter.
Above, the two arms are even more abnormally large. Standing there with his arms hanging down, the tips of his middle fingers are almost above the knees. Under the khaki skin are extremely swollen muscles. The whole person stands there, giving people an impression.
It feels like an indestructible mountain. But his wife Xiaohua is a typical little girl from the Jiangnan water town, petite and cute. Standing together, the two of them are like Mount Tai with a white jasmine, a strong contrast.
Reaching out and scratching his bald head, Xiahou attributed the responsibility to Yang Tong: "Who told me that I was injured that year and you were so anxious that you sent me to Xiaohua's hospital nearby?" After looking up for a while, Xiahou thought about the past.
He also became serious: "What's the matter? I'm already in a semi-retired state. You, the chief director, never go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, right?"
In the hazy spring rain, Yang Tong carefully hung the oil-paper umbrella on a rhododendron branch next to him. He sat opposite Xia Hou on both sides of the small coffee table and said in a low voice: "I do have something to do. I can't smoke now."
I need manpower, so you, a semi-retired Xuanwu, have to go out on field duty again for me. Have you ever heard of zone 53?"
Xiahou picked up the teapot and took a sip at the spout. Suddenly, he remembered Xiaohua's instructions. Then he took out a teacup from nowhere and filled Yang Tong with a cup. He saw that it was already a little soaked.
With the white tea, Xia Hou looked left and right, and then he tore off two jasmine flowers from a large bunch of jasmine flowers beside him. He pinched the flowers with his hands and found that the flowers had become scorched and withered, so he threw them into Yang Tong's teacup: "Jasmine flowers."
Tea, try the taste."
Yang Tong smiled bitterly, shook his head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, cursing: "There is no trace of the tea leaves, jasmine tea?"
Xiahou took a big gulp in his stomach leisurely and contentedly, and then said: "Zone 51, that is, Zone 51, I have heard of it, not only that, back then, with the three bugs, kittens, and birds,
We even broke in and made a big fuss. But zone 53, I really haven’t heard of it.”
Yang Tong carefully looked around, then lowered his voice even more, and explained carefully: "District 53 has just been established less than two years ago. The confidentiality level is red S-level. The research direction is unknown and the research object is unknown. We
By chance, twelve moles were placed there, but eleven of them were lost after half a year. The last mole sent us emergency information yesterday. District 53 seems to have created something very harmful to us.
Adverse outcomes.”
"So?" Xia Hou frowned: "Should we seize the research results or destroy the area? If it is to sneak in and steal the results, Xiaoniao's success rate has always been 30% higher than mine. If it is violent destruction, Kitten
One person can fight against a heavily armed reinforced armored division. I have always been responsible for supporting the rear or clearing the way."
After taking another sip of tea, Xia Hou said with a sad face: "Not to mention our boss, Xiao Chong, he is the overall planner, sneaks into hiding, violent attacks, is proficient in everything, one is better than the three of us! Why don't you go find them, Fei
Are you going to use me, a semi-retired person?"
Yang Tong had an unlucky look on his face: "Stop talking. Qinglong caused big trouble in the UK. A dozen of the top vampires chased him from Europe to Africa, and smuggled him from Africa to Latin America. Where can I tell where he came from?
?Zhuque was on vacation and went to Latin America to steal the totems in the Mayan temple. He was hunted down by a large number of supernatural beings who didn't know where. Qinglong took those vampires to fish in troubled waters. "
"Then, what about Bai Hu? This kind of thing is most suitable for this violent man." Xia Hou scratched his forehead hard and said a little unhappy: "Why don't you see that I just got married, so you have to find trouble for me?
?Hey, Yangtou, according to the rules of the bureau, when I get married, I will either retire or transfer to the back office. Generally, I will not be involved in the field work."
Yang Tong angrily cursed in a low voice: "Bai Hu? When you come back from there, I suggest you go to the solitary room to visit him! There is no organization and discipline, he and your designated successor Xiao Xuanwu, these two guys, what the hell
"Yes." Yang Tong felt angry and suddenly cursed.
"Are you causing trouble?" Xia Hou had a gloating smile on his face.
Yang Tong smiled bitterly: "That's right. They didn't know who they were looking for to fight for a drink, and the two of them came back with alcohol poisoning at the same time! They are still lying in the hospital! Heck, they are internationally recognized as the top among S-class superpowers.
The expert Bai Hu is actually suffering from alcohol poisoning! If word of this gets out, the whole bureau will be laughed at!"
The muscles on Xia Hou's face twitched, as if he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to do so. Shaking his head, he said in a low voice: "Then, I'll go. The action plan, procedures, targets, and response teams are all there.
Get ready. What do you really know about zone 53?"
Yang Tong's face became more serious: "To be honest, I don't know anything specific. After you go in, all actions must be under the command of our insider, but his authority is also limited, so there is a big impact on your actions.
risk."
Xia Hou stood up and muttered: "I'm not afraid of the risks. My Xuanwu True Jie, aside from other abilities, is a first-class way to save my life. When do we set out?"
Yang Tong sat there and glanced at him, then nodded slowly: "Now, in two hours, a diplomatic plane will take off from Pudong Airport. When it passes the outer edge of zone 53, you will airborne." After a moment of hesitation,
Yang Tong said: "You should think carefully. The information given by the insider is very urgent, but... Baihu can return to normal in two days. Qinglong and Suzaku, I have urgently ordered them to finish the trouble at hand and rush there directly. Or, you are not needed.
Move out."
Xia Hou's face darkened, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Yang Tou, in our line of work, what else do you have to worry about? Let's go."
Yang Tong was silent for a while, then stood up suddenly, grabbed the oil-paper umbrella, and walked out of the yard side by side.
Xiaohua happened to come back with a basket. When she saw the two of them going out side by side, she quickly smiled and said, "Professor Yang, Xiahou, are you going out now? You can leave after eating!"
A smile appeared on Yang Tong's face: "I'm sorry, Xiaohua, it's an urgent academic meeting. No, Xiahou can only make a trip with me."
Xia Hou chuckled, hugged Xiaohua fiercely, and kissed her hard: "Honey, stew the dog meat and wait for me to come back. Well, if everything goes well, I will be back probably tomorrow night. Prepare the meal.
Wait for me!"
Xiaohua shyly patted Xiahou on the head, not daring to look at Yang Tong who was standing beside him and laughing. She nodded and said, "Well, be careful when driving on the road. On rainy days, the road will be slippery."
Xia Hou walked out step by step, his body moving, but his shoulders did not move at all. He did not look back, he just shouted loudly: "I know, you go back first, the rain will feel uncomfortable on your body, be careful not to catch a cold. Don't worry.
Well, I’ll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest, ah? Make dinner and wait for me.”
Xiaohua looked at Xiahou's back, smiled, and walked lightly into the yard.
