Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters mysterious power
After he came out of the private room after eating and drinking, Wu Ming asked Xue Chen if he had brought back those bowls made of bamboo poles, saying that he wanted to keep them as a souvenir.
Xue Chen took out a bowl cut from a bamboo pole and gave it to the four of them. Wu Ming took the bamboo bowl and sighed softly, saying: "Looking back now, I feel that the mushroom stewed fish was really a rare and delicious meal. Maybe I will never eat it in my life."
I won’t forget it, thank you.”
The first breakfast you eat after surviving a desperate situation is naturally very special.
The day after returning from the border, Xue Chen and Liu Qingshuang got on the return plane and landed in Haicheng that night. After watching Liu Qingshuang being picked up by Liu Jianguo, he was also driven by a comrade from the Public Security Bureau.
Returned home.
When he got home, he washed up happily, lay down on the soft big bed, breathed a long sigh of relief, felt very comfortable, and fell asleep soon after.
Xue Chen slept peacefully, but some people had not rested yet and were still busy.
After returning home, Liu Qingshuang accepted her parents' concern. They first said she had lost weight, then said she was tanned, and said she had suffered.
Liu Jianguo, who was sitting next to him, glanced at his little sister and muttered: "Why don't I feel that she is thin? She seems to be a little fatter, and a little darker, but isn't wheat black popular now?"
"Xiao Shuang, you are so impulsive this time. That is the territory of a neighboring country. How can you go there casually? There are several anti-government armed forces there, and the environment is very complicated. If something happens to you, you can't go there casually."
What should we do?" Liu Qingteng became a little angry when she thought that her daughter had volunteered to participate in such a dangerous job.
"Dad, Mom, oh, look, I'm back intact, isn't it? It's really not as dangerous as you think. I'm going to take a bath and rest."
Liu Qingshuang couldn't stand her parents' nagging, so she hurried back to her room. When she had just finished taking a bath, someone knocked on the door, and her eldest brother Liu Jianguo came in.
"Xiaoshuang, it seems that the search and rescue work went smoothly." Liu Jianguo sat on the chair next to the bed, watching his little sister wiping her hair with a towel, his eyes a little strange, "I'm surprised, logically speaking
, even if you are not thin, you should not be fat, why does it feel like your face is rounder?"
"You've just gained weight!" Liu Qingshuang rolled her eyes and looked a little unnatural. She also noticed when she was taking a shower just now that she was really a little fat. She stood on the scale and saw that she was indeed fat.
Three and a half pounds.
She thought about it and threw the blame to Xue Chen. Otherwise, how could she be fat?
Normally, her food rations should consist of compressed biscuits, canned food, and chocolate, which are hard to swallow. After a few days of long journey, she might even lose a few pounds. That would be beautiful.
But I gained three and a half pounds!
It's all Xue Chen's fault. Every meal he eats is so good. Roast chicken, roast duck, and beef with soy sauce. It takes a lot of physical energy. He eats more. It would be strange if he doesn't gain weight. But fortunately, it's not that he has gained more fat. He has more.
The muscles on the body are much stronger, which can be seen from the clearer vest line on the abdomen.
"Xiaoshuang, tell me about the search and rescue process of you and Xue Chen. I'm very interested." Liu Jianguo really wanted to know how the two people found four people in the old mountain forest that was dozens of kilometers away.
, it is certainly not an easy task.
"You are interested in listening, but I am not interested in talking." Liu Qingshuang sat back on the bed and put her right foot on the bed. She checked the position of her ankle and was pleased to see that the wound bitten by the bungara snake had almost faded away.
It is no longer visible, leaving no scars.
Liu Jianguo saw his little sister checking the position of her ankle and asked if she was injured?
"I was a little injured, but I'm fine now. Don't tell your parents, otherwise they'll keep asking questions, and my ears are almost full." Liu Qingshuang hurriedly warned her, although her parents
She was concerned about herself, but it really frightened her.
Liu Jianguo thought about it and smiled: "It's fine if you don't tell your parents, but you have to tell me. As long as I make sure that you are really fine, your parents will not worry. If you don't tell me, that will happen."
It allows your parents to take care of your health in all aspects. I think the worst case scenario is that you have to go to the hospital for a full-body examination, including electrocardiogram, liver function, gastrointestinal and kidney tests, as well as vision, oral...
…”
"Liu Jianguo! You threaten me!" Liu Qingshuang said angrily.
"How could I threaten my biological sister?" Liu Jianguo smiled cheerfully, "I just care about you for my parents. If you don't accept it, then I will have to ask the elders to come in person."
Liu Qingshuang grinded her teeth and hummed softly: "It's nothing, just a bite from a silver krait..."
"Coronavirus?!" When Liu Jianguo heard these three words, he almost fell off his chair and took a deep breath, "That's a corona snake, how could it be nothing!"
While Liu Qingshuang was receiving concern from her eldest brother Liu Jianguo, in a building in the capital, four people from the security section of the Ministry of National Security who had returned from the border had just received condolences from their superiors. Captain Wu Ming made a speech that lasted for nearly two years.
The hourly report explained all the situations in detail.
After the report was over, Wu Ming came to a room alone with his father Wu Yue.
Looking at his son who was obviously thinner, Wu Yue said with some distress: "This mission has really made the four of you suffer. You have all lost weight."
Wu Ming shook his head indifferently. Since he chose this profession, he had already been prepared to encounter anything, even sacrifice. Although this time it was indeed much more dangerous, and it could even be said to be the most critical crisis in his career.
An encounter, but fortunately, everything was over, the mission was completed, and he and the other three team members came back alive, not even missing an arm or a leg, which was already the best result.
He naturally thought of the man that he couldn't understand at all, thought for a moment, and asked: "Dad, that Xue Chen, who is he..."
"What's wrong with Xue Chen?" Wu Yue took a sip of tea unhurriedly.
"This person is really curious, very unusual, indescribably strange..." Wu Ming couldn't describe his strange feelings. In short, Xue Chen gave him a somewhat extraordinary feeling, and there was something strange about him everywhere.
Surprised.
Wu Yue squinted his eyes, picked up the water glasses in front of him, put one on the coffee table, and said, "This is you." The other raised it a lot with his hand, and said, "This is Xue Chen."
"I think the reason why you are having trouble is because you and he are two different types of people. We have different perspectives on one thing and different styles of doing things."
Seeing his father holding two water glasses, one high and one low, Wu Ming clenched his fists: "Yes! That's it. It feels like he is really standing on a high place overlooking all this, always looking at potential threats at that time.
He looks like he doesn't care, as if it's nothing to him!"
A normal person would definitely not choose to camp on the river bank where a gun battle had taken place. What if the enemy retreated for no reason and killed a carbine? But Xue Chen didn't care at all.
Of course, not only this one thing, but also many small things along the way made him feel that Xue Chen always had a lightness to his work, which made him feel the invisible gap.
Seeing his son's reaction, Wu Yue felt a lot of emotion in his heart. The biggest feeling was satisfaction. Being able to see his son return to him intact, what could be more important than this?
Secondly, he was lucky. He was lucky enough to find such a strange person as Xue Chen. He really brought his son and three other people back. Seeing his son's reaction, he was even more sure that Xue Chen was different.
.
Wu Ming talked about a lot of unusual phenomena he saw on Xue Chen. To put it simply, the seemingly small but inexhaustible backpack made him scratch his head and couldn't figure it out, and that
The physical strength of the mutant level also frightened him. He kept observing secretly on the way back, but he never saw any fatigue on Xue Chen's face, even after traveling ten kilometers on a bumpy mountain road in one breath.
Even at his best, he was exhausted.
Wu Yue didn't say anything more, he simply took out a photo. Wu Ming took a look and saw that it was a pair of hands with a clear puncture wound on the palm.
"This is what the department got from before you came back. I remember you said that during the last battle, the enemy's ten-man team was about to launch a surprise attack, but retreated. These hands belonged to one of them.
And, I can tell you, nine other people suffered the same injuries."
"What do you mean? How could this happen?" Wu Ming frowned.
"Don't ask me. I don't know what happened. I just roughly know that ten people were pierced by a mysterious force at the same time. They were almost scared out of their wits and had to retreat."
A bolt of lightning struck Wu Ming's mind. He raised his head and said in shock: "Could it be him? But how is this possible?!"
Wu Yue squinted his eyes and said nothing. He looked at the photo and fell into deep thought.
…
In the morning, after dinner, Sister Jiang sent Erniu to kindergarten. In another half month, Erniu would have a holiday, so Erniu counted on her fingers every day to calculate how many days were left for her holiday before she could go to school.
Had fun playing.
Xue Chen came to the yard, found a basin and a soft brush, and poured a lot of water with the water pipe used to water the grass and vegetable fields. Then he took out a pile of stones from the Yutong Space, which he happened to pick up in the old forest.
Those jadeite roughs that arrived,
He counted it and found that there were fifteen pieces in total. The big one weighed four or five kilograms, and the small one was smaller than an egg, but the outside was covered with mud and dirty.
He casually picked up a piece and put it into the basin. He took a brush and carefully brushed off the dirt on it, revealing the beautiful tender green patches underneath. (To be continued)
