Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and felt like laughing for no reason. Ling was indeed a very virtuous girl, but her personality was too cold, completely different from Sister Susie.
At this time, a plain white hand had reached in front of Lu Mingfei. The gesture of that hand seemed to be that Catherine was showing favor to her favorite. Lu Mingfei looked at the sideways face of Her Royal Highness and smiled silently. He said yes, then put his left hand under his chest and tucked Ling's stretched-out wrist into the crook of his arm.
-----------------
There are not many cars on the road, but more pedestrians. The wind has subsided as the snow has stopped, but the leaves and snow on the trees on both sides of the main road will still be blown away and fall, and there are rustlings everywhere. There was a rustling sound, and Lu Mingfei had to open the umbrella he carried with him to cover the falling snow and leaves.
Moscow is brightly lit on a winter night, and there is no place for everyone to go. The family gathers at home to watch TV series. The men blow vodka into the bottle, and the women work on dinner in the kitchen. But there is nothing like this here. Tokyo is so bright and prosperous, with gray-black buildings one after another in the ice and snow, and the wind, snow, and frost are all mixed in between these buildings. The solemn cast iron lamps on both sides of the road are also on and off, obviously in disrepair.
There was already a thick layer of ice on the road, and through the transparent ice, Lu Mingfei could see the slightly undulating stone floor tiles underneath. The old policeman at the corner took off his police hat and put the thing under his arm, frowning and smoking a cigarette. Most of the windows on both sides of the street were lit with warm and dim lights.
Zero shivered slowly, and Lu Mingfei hesitated whether he should reach out and take the girl into his arms, but it was not convenient for him to do this action with the umbrella in his hand.
The soft and delicate body pressed slightly against his body. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and squeezed the girl's hand in his arm.
Zero turned his face to the other side and let out a low hum from his nasal cavity.
Lu Mingfei and Ling both knew that their outing for a walk was not as simple as just relaxing. For relaxation, the garden of Elizabeth Palace would be enough.
Zero actually likes him, Lu Mingfei thought. He should have guessed it a long time ago. It was already obvious in the other world, right? Besides liking him, which other girl would be willing to go out for supper with you? Besides liking her, what other girl would be like an angel descending from the sky and lead you through PorUnaCabeza when you are at your worst?
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei became a little shrinking.
Since returning to Moscow, Ling seems to like wearing high heels. This little girl, who could even be said to be underdeveloped in Lu Mingfei's eyes, took her feet out of her leather shoes and stepped into high heels. After leaving her job, her originally petite figure suddenly straightened up. Even at home, Zero is an elegant princess. She sometimes wears only a camel-colored dress. Her tightened belly and puffed-out chest, coupled with the high heels that make her look taller, instantly make her look graceful. , what a stunning girl.
But why didn't he have any evil thoughts when he was in another world? This really didn't fit in with Lu Mingfei's previous character of Brother Pig, who had already made his favor and special treatment almost obvious. Brother Luzhu should jump into Cupid's arms with joy and shout "Hallelujah", but why is he unwilling to stuff Zero's silhouette under the hazy sky into his heart?
When Lu Mingfei was worried, Ling was probably worried too. Now when they were alone together, they always felt an inexplicable sense of alienation and shame. Lu Mingfei attributed this feeling to everything that happened that night.
But fortunately, both of them made a tacit agreement not to mention that matter.
Lu Mingfei didn't speak, so Ling didn't speak either. They walked farther and farther with their backs to the Elizabeth Palace, and there was only the faint sound of the ice on the road and the frozen leaves cracking under their feet.
"I sometimes wonder if we have known each other a long time ago." Lu Mingfei was determined to break the silence. He paused and considered his words and tone, so as not to appear abrupt or strong. Purpose, he said after a few seconds,
"You know that my bloodline is not very stable. I guess this instability has been there since I entered Kassel College to take the 3E exam, but it didn't show up. Chu Zihang told me before that some people are degenerating into Deadpool always saw some hallucinations that he didn't know the meaning of before, but in fact those hallucinations were fragments that they had long forgotten in the depths of their memories. In the process of their bodies being transformed into Deadpool by dragon blood, their The brain is also being remodeled, and old memories that have been covered by new memories are like stones emerging from the water after the tide recedes. "
He hesitated, "In the hallucinations I saw, sometimes there would be a corridor burned by flames, sometimes there would be a group of fighter jets swooping down and pouring bullets, and sometimes it would be a huge black snake... No matter where it is. It’s a kind of hallucination that I always see you appearing in, like a memory from a previous life, or like... something reminding me that I’ve forgotten something very important.”
He wanted to say that Lu Mingze was reminding him, but Lu Mingfei finally stopped this impulse.
Until now, he still didn't know how the little devil contacted the team of Su Enxi, Mai Jiudoku and Zero. Even since the Tokyo War, they had completely lost news about Lu Mingze.
But Lu Mingfei was not sure that the little devil was not dead. When Lu Mingze wanted to do that, he stopped him.
"Memories of past lives?" Zero tilted his head curiously, "Do you also believe in past lives?"
"It's just a rhetorical device." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair. Although he was a little embarrassed, he finally broke the silence between the two people.
"I think it's good to have a past life." Ling said. Lu Mingfei lowered his head and wanted to laugh at the girl's innocence, but suddenly saw the... desolate cloud in her eyes.
"Why?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"You make a contract with one person in your life, and your whole world is him. But after you die, your contract ends, and everyone will forget you in a few years." Zero said seriously,
"If there is an afterlife, the contract that ends at the end of death will never end. You die and are resurrected again, and you will not be alone a hundred times a thousand times. There will always be someone who will stand with you. , Even if the whole world is your enemy, there will still be someone you can trust your back to. "
This sentence is really calm, but there is an unspeakable loneliness hidden in it. It reminds people of the icebergs on the frozen lakes in the far north of Siberia, which never melt and become taller and taller.
But there will come a time when the weight of loneliness will exceed its limit, and when the iceberg collapses, the avalanche will swallow up the entire world.
Chapter 327 Extra: Her Royal Highness’s Moscow Strategy (3)
As we were walking, it started to snow again. At first, the umbrella was like a lotus leaf in the rain, protecting the two aimless frogs Lu Mingfei and Ling. Later, everything turned white in front of their eyes. Misty.
The snowflakes fell into Lu Mingfei's collar and immediately melted into a thin puddle of cold water. He shivered without a trace, and Ling reached out to help Lu Mingfei straighten his clothes and stand up his collar.
The girl's palm was small, and the unconscious friction and collision of skin with skin would make Lu Mingfei's heart a little fluttering. Although everyone tacitly did not confess what happened that night, President Lu always had a rich imagination. When he saw Ling Baiyu's onion-like fingers, he thought of Lingding's almost transparent shoulders, and also thought of the silent charm of the night.
Even though he almost lost his mind, Lu Mingfei was still concerned about the fact that there was a girl who was comparable to a prince lying in that house. After the issue of Eriyi's bloodline was solved, an unimaginable world followed, as if all the power and power were right. She is open and the world will always be clear and visible to her.
Zero was obviously aware of this, and even though he was almost unconscious, he still bit his silver teeth. Lu Mingfei's shoulders and arms were covered with the girl's teeth marks, and his cheetah-like muscular back had one after another. scratches.
The old policeman who was leaning on the cast iron street lamp just now, frowning and smoking a cigarette, gave them a ride in his police car, which was as old as him and had a chimney that belched black smoke.
The old policeman didn't have a mobile phone, and he probably rarely used a GPS. He didn't say anything when he drove the wrong way. He just looked through the cracked windowpane at the hurried passers-by with their collars turned up and hiding under umbrellas.
When passing towering monuments and huge castle-like buildings, police cars roared to a stop. The old policeman glanced at Lu Mingfei and Ling, and a stiff smile appeared on his hard face that looked like deep cuts carved by a knife. He raised the cigarette case in his hand and pointed at the retail store not far from the monument. , opened the door and rushed into the blizzard before the cold wave had time to rush in.
"Look under his woolen coat. On the chest of his police uniform is a second-class Order of the Patriotic War." Ling did not turn around. She looked up at the monument and the fountain in front of the monument that looked like an artillery array. She said calmly, "That should be an old man who is still living in 20 years ago. Some people really believed that the Soviet Union could establish a great new era."
Lu Mingfei nodded, and he also noticed the medal. It was made of silver and had turned slightly black, but the Russian words ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННАЯВОЙНА on it were still shining brightly, and the intertwined totems of sickle and hammer were inlaid with gold. That thing quietly fit the position closest to the old policeman's chest, beating with the beating of the old heart, as if as long as he was not dead, his motherland was not dead yet.
Before he finished speaking, the old man came back again. He started to light the cigarette with trembling hands. He pressed the lighter several times but failed to light it. Lu Mingfei leaned into the front seat and used his own lighter to help him burn the butt of the cigarette.
"Are you a Tatar?" The old policeman's face turned rosy after taking a puff of cigarette. He fastened his seat belt again, held the gear with one hand and the steering wheel with the other. The police car ran over broken ice and snow dust. White waves splashing as high as one person. I think this guy drove a tank like this when he was young.
"Chinese, I'm from the south." Lu Mingfei smiled.
"Doing business?"
"travel."
"Many of your people used to come here to do business." The old policeman said, "You are younger than them and very energetic."
"Because only old people have the courage to make deals with other countries, and those people carry the hopes of many people," Lu Mingfei said.
The old man whistled loudly.
"You talk like Shakespeare," he said teasingly.
"Some people say I talk like Pushkin, but I think why can't I just be like myself? Neither Shakespeare nor Pushkin is as great as me."
The old man blinked, probably not understanding where this rude man got his confidence.
Lu Mingfei stared at the colorful church in the distance in the wind and snow and the statue of St. George slaying the dragon covered in ice and snow, and raised his eyebrows: "I'm kidding, I actually escaped to Russia. There are a group of international The killer is hunting me...it's no use being like Shakespeare or Pushkin. Your best wish at this time is that I hope I can be like St. George, so maybe I still have a chance to survive."
The old policeman was amused and looked through the rearview mirror at the worried-looking young Chinese man in the back seat.
"Then you go and lie down under Lenin's statue, and I'll see who dares to cause trouble for you." He said.
Lu Mingfei shrugged, "In this weather, I will freeze to death in less than an hour if I lie down. That way they don't have to hunt me down. They just need to go back and collect the reward with the evidence that I am dead."
"Just in front, thank you." Zero suddenly raised his pointed chin towards the birch forest in front of him, and armed himself with a coat and mink fur hat.
Lu Mingfei looked over and saw that the white birches had all been peeled. In front of the forest was a small double-story single-family house. The door of the small building was red, and every window glass revealed a hazy and warm orange color. Light.
The old policeman stopped the car on the side of the road and took off his hat to greet Lu Mingfei and Ling. Then Ling took out a large banknote from his wallet and stuffed it into the policeman's hat. Before stepping on the snow with her tight calves wearing high-heeled boots, she opened a huge black umbrella.
"I have a friend who was the Deputy Minister of Defense before the collapse of the Soviet Socialist Republic. This building was a property we purchased for him, but he never came to live there... Only two people have the keys to this place, and no one usually has it. We have a dedicated team to manage, clean and maintain the water and electricity system," Ling said. At the same time, he took out a bunch of keys from his wallet and waved them in front of Lu Mingfei, opened the door and walked in.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed.
When they were walking together, they took a police car and wandered around Moscow aimlessly. As they walked, Zero said that there was a house in front of me that was my property. Let's go and have a rest.
The current situation seemed to President Lu like Xiao Longnu inviting Yin Zhiping to spend a beautiful spring night in the tavern. Xiao Yin's heart was racing with his thoughts as he pushed the door open and went in to eat wildly. He let out a black iron heavy sword and slammed it down from behind the door. Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, gritted his teeth and chopped off the despicable man's head on the spot.
But who told him that Lu Mingfei was unreasonable? Now, if Her Royal Highness wants to kill or behead him, he has no choice but to do as he pleases.
The small building was empty as Ling said. There was heavy snow outside the window, and the firelight from the fireplace reflected on the glass inexplicably reminded Lu Mingfei of Christmas.
The old record player in the cupboard was playing Tchaikovsky's symphony. Ling sat down on the sofa in front of the fireplace and patted the seat next to him so that Lu Mingfei could sit there too.
There were actually coals burning in the stove, and an iron pot was propped up on an iron stand inside the flame. The pot exuded an alluring aroma of meat and was bubbling.
So not long ago, a group of people were busy here. They lit every fireplace, turned on every lamp, and moved the low-key-looking long pine table to the side of the sofa. There was sturgeon vodka on ice in the bucket, and broth to warm the bodies was prepared in an iron pot in the fireplace for the upcoming hosts.
"Would you like some canned stewed beef?" Ling pulled out a cardboard box from under the sofa, which was filled with canned beef that had been produced not long ago.
"No, no." Lu Mingfei nodded and bowed. He didn't know why he felt shrunken when he was with Ling. Ling glanced at him coldly, and Lu Mingfei shuddered: "Eat a little, eat a little... …”
After the can was pried open, the thick gravy inside was poured into a new iron pot. Lu Mingfei was directed to find fresh fennel and parsley in the refrigerator, chop them into pieces, and throw them in.
There was a clang and the bottle of vodka broke. Lu Mingfei shrank to the side, and suddenly felt that the person sitting next to him was not Xiao Longnu herself or Yin Zhiping. She was clearly the Tianshan Child Grandmother, okay?
"The oak stopper is frozen solid, and the bottle opener can't be opened." Ling poured a glass for Lu Mingfei and poured himself a glass. He used tongs to pick up spherical ice cubes from the ice machine and threw them into the glass. The wine makes a beautiful splash.
"There's no glass shards, right?" Although Lu Mingfei was timid, he was still suspicious. Ling squinted his eyes and he slapped the table righteously and said, "Glass shards are just glass shards! The wine Miss Ling poured was enough to cause a perforated stomach. I was there too Don’t hesitate!”
Then he drank most of the glass of vodka in one gulp with great enthusiasm.
"Mirror pupils can help me do many things, including accurately controlling the direction of force on the bottleneck when the bottle is smashed." Ling took small sips of the liquor, and the flickering firelight fell in her pupils. Only then did Lu Mingfei realize that Ling's eyes were really beautiful and as deep as the starry sky.
He had seen the look of those eyes when they were blurred. They were not as... charming as many people imagined, but more like a lost deer in the forest, as if they had lost their way and didn't know where to go.
That kind of confusion reminded Lu Mingfei of many things, those helpless, difficult, and sad years, those past that were washed away by the wild waves of destiny and left no trace.
"The glass shards are all outside, not in the cup." Zero said, his voice was indifferent, but his voice was soft.
Lu Mingfei nodded and continued to drink. The thick glass bottom of the cup was lifted higher and higher by him, and the orange firelight became very hazy through it.
Two seconds later, he pulled over the trash can and spat a piece of glass the size of a fingernail into it.
"Now that we're even, you don't owe me anything." Ling put down the cup and the few spirits in the cup, and slowly hugged himself with two slender arms.
Ling curled up in the light and fire, and the small, melted snowflakes at the ends of her hair were ignited by the warm flames and turned into wisps of white steam rising up.
Through the thin layer of water vapor, Lu Mingfei looked at the portrait of Catherine hanging on the wall and felt that the woman in the painting seemed to have come alive.
He then looked at Zero blankly, and somehow he remembered some small animals that like to curl up in front of the stove and squint their eyes all day long in winter, such as cats and foxes.
At this time, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that Miss Ling was not really an emotionless Bingshan nor a flat-shaped child.
She is sitting here, and even through the thick plush sweater, you can see that her body has already developed into an exquisite and convex shape. Her ankles exposed to the light are as lonely as cold white jade, and her eyelashes are hanging down, which reminds people of those The tail feathers of Siberian migratory birds that always start migrating to China in September.
Last summer, Ling met Lu Mingfei at the train station in Shanghai. That day, she was dressed a bit like... Xia Mi's style.
The upper body is wearing a small suspender belt with tassels, and the lower body is wearing denim shorts, strappy sandals and large-frame sunglasses, giving her a seaside vacation look.
Unfortunately, it was raining in Shanghai that day and the temperature dropped sharply. Ling was holding his arms and shaking at the train station. While Eliyi went to buy her favorite strawberry-flavored ice cream, Lu Mingfei quickly took off his coat and put it on Miss Ling. .
Later, Lu Mingfei asked her why she was dressed like that. Her Royal Highness said coldly, "I want to try a different style." Lu Mingfei said, when I first saw you, I thought you were a lonely stray cat. Could it be that today's little Renata style is a sexy little wildcat? Zero stared at him with her beautiful almond eyes, turned away angrily and didn't talk to him for a whole day.
In fact, he should have thought at that time, why would Her Royal Highness need to change her style? As long as she is willing, standing in the middle of Times Square in New York City, she will immediately become a trendsetter in the next few months, not to make Lu Mingfei happy, but since Xia Mi...
——When Lu Mingfei thought of this, he suddenly wanted to scold himself or give himself a slap.
It was probably because he was so hesitant during his escape days that he even forgot what he should do after something like that happened.
Avoiding never solves a problem; it only makes it more difficult.
There was probably a window at the end of the corridor that was not closed tightly, so the wind blew in. Dozens and hundreds of wind chimes made of pure silver and pure gold hanging on the roof collided and made a tinkling sound, which was clear and sweet.
"We will go back when the snow gets lighter, and then I will help you find the way to where you want to go." Zero said, she raised her head to look at the colliding wind chimes, and her whole body was exuding a cold feeling. breath.
"I don't know where I want to go. Maybe it's a trap, but I'm not sure." Lu Mingfei said, "I don't think Odin would hide his secrets in such an obvious place. He seems to be deliberately guiding me there." ”
