Chapter 23 Chapter 23
Lin Mu washed Jimmy's body and head, wiped it clean with a towel, changed the bandages on his hands, and led him back to the bed.After tossing twice in a row, Jimmy was so tired that he leaned on the pillow and became much quieter.
"forest……"
"Ok?"
"I'm hungry."
Well, no matter how quiet you are, you still know how to manipulate people.Lin Mu's smile spread in his heart, he had reheated the pot a long time ago, and continued to finish the breakfast interrupted by the beautiful spring scenery.Pour hot oil into the pan, and the French toast is shaped a little bit. The aroma of icing sugar, eggs and milk is mixed together, forming a picture of a beautiful life that is rare in the wars of the Three Kingdoms in the south.
In these countries, even life itself, even a trivial thing like eating breakfast, constitutes the gift of fate.
And this, both of them know.It's not that they didn't hear the sound of guns and rockets and rockets spinning into the sky in the flames of war.It's not like they didn't evacuate with the crowd in an emergency, but no matter where they go, they are not peaceful or home.
If the Tal dispute is not resolved, people's lives will always be under the cloud.Between lovers, between mother and child, between friends, any farewell may be a farewell.
During breakfast, Jimmy took two mouthfuls of toast and lost his appetite.Lin Mu looked at his drooping eyelashes, then at the faint hickey on his neck inside his T-shirt, couldn't help stretching out his hand, and helped him pull the T-shirt around his neck.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm kind enough to help you adjust your collar."
"It's just a low-necked T-shirt."
Lin Mu asked him guiltily, afraid that he was too harsh in the morning: "Uncomfortable? Can't eat? How about something else?"
Jimmy's eyes lit up: "What do you have?"
Lin Mu opened the refrigerator door: "Instant noodles, milk, mineral water..."
"No pickles?"
"You're asking too much, master. Here's the lack of GDP per capita—"
"My hot and sour bamboo shoots! My salt and pepper peanuts! My plum fermented bean curd! My life is ruined."
Jimmy lay on the table, rambling on and on, just to prevent Lin Mu from remembering the unsolved case on the rooftop last night, and to clarify with himself.
"Hey, your ice cream. I eat ice cream." Jimmy flew to Lin Mu with a kiss.
"What ice cream?"
"I brought you yesterday..."
etc!Oh no!What about ice cream? Jimmy only remembers the journey from the dream garden to the rooftop, and he still has fantasies about holding the ice cream box tightly, thinking that as long as it is not shaken to pieces, he will bring it home to Lin Shu to eat, and Lin Shu will probably like the slightly sour one Apricot and orange flavors, and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.
No matter how slow Lin Shu was, he could react at this moment.
"The box you carried on the rooftop yesterday contained ice cream?!"
"... so what!"
"You don't want to die!"
Lin Muben planned to go back to Tal and settle the score with Jimmy, but now that the other party mentioned it, he didn't intend to let it go, "You are talking about arms business, right? What are you going to sell this time? Fire|arrow|bomb? Impossible , it’s too easy for you guys, it’s impossible to be worth so many people chasing you. Tanks? Are you the same as Edison Chan back then, are you going to sell tanks again? Who are those people chasing you? It didn’t work this time , will they do it again?"
Across the dining table, through the salt shaker, pepper shaker and a bunch of evergreen eucalyptus leaves, Jimmy confided truthfully to Lin Shu: "I won't do it again."
Then he slowly told the bleak truth: "Because... I have sold...the uranium raw materials to them. After winter is over and the road is unblocked, they will be transported from Thar to country Z."
He said that uranium raw materials are like talking about a box of ice cream, a firewood, rice, oil and salt, ending in family conflicts, and will not put tens of millions of lives in the three southern countries at risk.
Jimmy looked nervously at the trees.He decided to be frank, and frankness must be accompanied by consequences.If Lin Mu can't accept what he has done, they may end up going their separate ways after all the fun.
But Lin Mu just swallowed the remaining half of the toast without moving his eyebrows: "Got it. As long as you think it's OK. Be careful."
Jimmy walked over and hugged Lin Shu seriously.Lin Mu's sweater is so warm and soft, like a stubborn lamb who refuses to admit that he is cute...
"You know that I have been investigating the murder of Edison Chan, who is my adoptive father. I originally got witnesses that it was the hands of country Z. It is also logical. Edison sold [-] tanks to him at the height of the war Country Y, of course, will cause dissatisfaction with the United States and Country Z. In order to prevent him from selling more weapons to Country Y, he found an opportunity to kill him. Although I didn't understand why Edison Chan sold tanks to Country Y... He's not stupid, he should know that it's best not to take sides at that time, because it's not sure who will win. But even if he takes a team, he should take the side of country Z, which has the United States as an ally..."
Lin Mu nodded: "So, did you get any new information now?"
"I met the army commander of country Z last night. He personally blamed country Y. He said that Edison Chan promised to sell them uranium raw materials back then. People in country Y heard about it and assassinated him."
In a small regional hot war, the availability of uranium raw materials is equivalent to the end of the entire war.No one wants to take the risk of angering an opponent with a nuclear bomb.It is better to lose the war than to have the whole country wiped out by nuclear weapons.Just a small suitcase can rewrite the history of the entire region.
"Then what do you think? Who do you trust?"
"I don't believe either side." Jimmy's eyes rarely become serious, "but now the question is: who got the uranium raw material that Edison Chan didn't sell back then? Country Y said it was in the hands of country Z, but it's true , country Z has no reason to buy uranium raw materials from me. One light hydrogen | bomb is enough to blow up the three southern countries, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to reserve more."
"So you are testing country Z to see if they are really willing to pay for uranium raw materials? If so, it means that they don't have uranium raw materials yet, so Edison Chan's uranium raw materials are in the hands of terrorists in country Y ?”
"Yes, it's just that I don't know if the people of country Z will change their minds until the last moment. I have already sent my housekeeper Jeremy to fly to Taal to start paving the way for the transportation of uranium raw materials after the spring."
Lin Mu picked up his hand and shook it heavily.He felt that there was nothing he could do to help, but he wanted to help, and he couldn't bear to see him stuck in the hatred of the past and delay the future.
"It's okay," Jimmy ate and stood up, "When this matter is settled, Lin Mu..." He leaned close to his ear, sticking out his tongue and licking it around, "The cockpit is still the lounge, whatever you want Where, you choose."
Before Lin Mu recovered from the sudden heartbeat, he heard Jimmy say harsh words to him: "I'll get on you, I know you've always wanted this, but I'm sorry to say it." After saying that, he blinked his eyes .
Ten days later, USAA International Hospital in Saltwater City.
Jimmy and Lin Muben came to the hospital lobby together, waiting to pick up Chen Yan and leave the hospital.He actually woke up after being in a coma for a day in the intensive care unit, stayed in the hospital for observation for more than a week because of a sprained ankle, and was finally discharged by the doctor on the grounds of wasting bed resources.
But Lin Mu received a call from Ji Yuanyuan who was lost, and went out to look for it, leaving Jimmy alone in the lobby waiting for the doctor to come down.
Ji Yuanyuan is also a genius, and her navigation ability on the radar chart is extremely accurate. Once, three planes approached at the same time at the Xianshui City Airport, and even the air traffic control hadn't realized the relative coordinates. She figured out the relative coordinates in two seconds. In the end, she smiled with tears in her eyes: "They all have a good foundation in the elementary school Olympiad."
But once on the ground, Ji Yuanyuan is like a spinning top.I walked through the place once, twice and three times, but I still forget it in a blink of an eye.In her words, these places were not beautiful enough to be recorded in her mind.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't make a clear call on the phone and turned the forest into a fork in the road, but she managed to find the hospital lobby, just in time to see Jimmy wearing a spirited camouflage uniform, like a college student who just finished military training, smiling harmlessly at her laugh.
"Miss Ji."
Unexpectedly, Ji Yuanyuan grabbed him by the collar and ran away: "You, Tony! You are really ashamed of Dr. Chen's love for you...for you!"
Jimmy tried to turn up the collar of his camouflage jacket to hide the red marks, but it was too late.Not only did Ji Yuanyuan see it, but she didn't intend to make the big thing into a small one.
"Dr. Chen has only been in the hospital for a few days and you're looking for a family?! Huh? You're so young, you don't know how to respect yourself!" Ji Yuanyuan became more and more sad as she spoke, "I won't hide it for you in the future! This is the last time! Dr. Chen How nice? Is that how you repay him?"
"Hey Sister Ji, I just wanted to ask something. Don't mind. Our air traffic control has to take an exam every three years. Does your pilot's driver's license also need to have your eyesight tested every year?"
"No matter how poor my eyesight is, I can still see your kid's crap clearly!"
I just stepped into the forest of the hospital, just in time to hear this sentence in Chinese, turned around and went down the stairs, ready to enter the inpatient department from the back door of the parking lot.
After Chen Yan was discharged from the hospital, he immediately reported to the American Aid Association, and took the opportunity to return to Tar with Dr. Pete.
This time, the American Aid Association performed outstandingly in the rescue of the internationally acclaimed country K earthquake and a series of secondary disasters. Dr. Pete was not only nominated for the Medal of Freedom issued by the President of the United States, but was also reported by the media that he might be nominated for next year's Nobel and |Ping|Award.
After all, about half of the previous Nobel Peace Prize winners are more or less related to international aid projects.
But Dr. Pitt rejected the nomination for the Medal of Freedom. He said that although he is not a religious believer, he did not stay in the three southern countries for more than 30 years just to win the award.He gave up voluntarily, leaving the opportunity for the spotlight to other organizations and individuals.
The American media did not flock to him anymore.After reporting a few articles on the development history of the American Aid Association in a non-salty way, the flags and drums died down to prepare for Christmas.
Only the white reporter Alex is still pestering, even Christmas is over, he will go wherever America Aid will go. Jimmy agreed to his Dr. Pete interview in exchange for a dose of adrenaline, but still didn't.
In order to temporarily calm Alex's resentment that he felt deceived, Jimmy pushed Chen Yan out: "Dr. Chen has a lot of background! He was originally a top student at University College London, and he had also practiced in large international organizations such as the United Nations. I came to the American Aid Association later. You can interview him first, he also knows the American Aid Association very well, and can tell you about the similarities and differences between the American Aid Association and the United Nations and other international aid organizations..."
Like a dog chasing a bone, Alex turned around and ran towards Chen Yan who was far away in Thar. Jimmy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and packed his remaining luggage in Lin Mu's one-person apartment.
He has no luggage.The only set of pajamas was washed and left at Lin Mu's house.To be precise, Lin Mu did not allow him to take it away: "What if you wear my pajamas every time you come here from now on? Do you want to keep my innocence?"
Jimmy had no choice but to hide the Ultraman pajamas in Lin Mu's closet, and while patting Lin Mu's pajamas that he had taken off, he said, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."
He put his pajamas on top of Lin Mu's pajamas, "I'm on top, you all should be good, ah."
Lin Mu dragged him behind and locked the door.Afterwards, the two took a commercial flight and returned to Taal.
Before spring begins, there is still half a long winter.There is nothing to do but snuggle up for warmth, or form a group to train the children.
Winters in Taal are dry and dark.The desert, which is brightly lit after five o'clock in summer, is still shrouded in darkness at seven or eight o'clock.The adobe castle is windy, and there is no sun, so the interior is so cold that it turns to ice.
As soon as Lamb heard the sound of Jimmy opening the door with a key, he rushed to the door and waited on his own initiative.
As soon as Jimmy entered the house, it ran out, skirted his legs, and pounced on the trees.
Lin Mu leaned down and circled the lamb very gently. It had just been bathed by Raj, and it smelled like lemon shower gel.
This reminded Lin Mu of the roasted leg of lamb with rosemary and lemon that he ate in Karachi, which was delicious.
Jimmy drove Bingtang back to the house with his tail in his arms, realizing that the child no longer belonged to him when he grew up. Jimmy turned on the electric heater: "Aren't you a sheep? You have hair! It's so cold!"
"You can wear a sweater when you're cold, what about others?"
Lin Mu wore a black turtleneck cashmere sweater, looking so simple and elegant. Jimmy couldn't move his eyes and stared for a while. Jimmy himself wore a sky blue seahorse wool sweater, simple and warm.
He took out the grass arranged by housekeeper Raj and patiently fed it to Bingtang one by one.
"It's a 100% natural cashmere sweater! It's still a customized version, and the size is definitely not inappropriate."
Jimmy squeezed Bingtang's belly and sighed, "Fat again. Do you know that these villains will attack you when you become fat? They even think about whether to add cumin or lemongrass for you! You How willing!"
Lin Mu answered lightly: "Add cumin."
"You! The surname is Lin!" Jimmy sneaked up from the back, "Tiger poison is still alive!"
"Maybe tiger meat is not tasty."
"You wait for me!"'
"I'm waiting, you go down and I go up. Now?"
In a few days, it will be Christmas.
The three southern countries were greatly influenced by American colonization, and everyone knows about Christmas.
Although there is something incompatible with their religious beliefs, there are still some billboards of old men with red hats and white beards on the roadside, and some restaurants cleverly put out roast turkeys, which may be confusing Christmas with Thanksgiving. It may be that Tal actually loves to eat meat, whether it is turkey or kebabs, all comers are welcome.
In preparation for the Christmas dinner, Lin Mu asks Jimmy for advice.
Unexpectedly, Jimmy, who doesn't even have his own mobile phone, skillfully asked for Lin Mu's mobile phone, quickly unlocked the password, opened his app store, and downloaded Weibo.
"Hey wait, just curious, when did you know my mobile phone password?"
"Isn't your mobile phone password my birthday?" Jimmy narrowed his eyes with a smile, teasing his always calm captain.
Lin Mu: "..." Not really.is another very important day.But he wasn't sure if he was going to tell Jimmy this now.Maybe... now is not the right time.
Jimmy: "Please, my partner, you can also understand my work content, okay? In addition to selling arms, the group also builds base stations. Yes, we have a lot of cooperation with Jianxin."
Lin Mu was still puzzled: "Then why did you—"
Jimmy smiled subtly: "Peeping."
He followed several food bloggers on Lin Mu's Weibo, and then threw the phone back to him: "Change a new password."
Lin Mu didn't answer, took the phone, turned it over a few times, and asked, "Do you want to eat Hokkaido curry?"
Jimmy shook excitedly: "I want to eat! Captain Lin, Teacher Lin, Old Lin—"
Lin Mu: "Pay attention to the address!"
Jimmy: "Mumu... Sensen? Lin...?" He watched Lin Mu put on a white apron over his black sweater, and was about to get up to go to the kitchen, so he pulled him back to the sofa and fanned the flames with his hands.
Lin Mu leaned back leisurely, opened his hands, supported the back of the sofa, and closed his eyes.
Jimmy accepts as soon as he sees it, and proposes: "Shall I cook for you?"
"Ah."
In the kitchen, Jimmy dug out the bowl he bought three months ago and just arrived from country Z.Lin Mu fried the chicken thigh meat and began to make the curry soup.They don't have curry cubes, only curry powder mixed with some masala powder and light soy sauce, which is surprisingly delicious.Those who make meat cook meat, and those who chop vegetables chop vegetables. When it is time to feed the sheep, they reach out to grab grass and put it next to the sheep.
"Did you come up with the name Bingtang?" Lin Mu asked.
"Isn't it great?"
"Very... homely."
"Not satisfied, are you? It's okay, I'll change its name another day, just call it...just call it..."
Jimmy set up another frying pan and fried some tempura.The hot curry soup was steaming, and the aroma wafted far away.He ate up a bowl in a short while, added another bowl of rice, and wanted to eat more, but was stopped by Lin Mu.
The next day, Jimmy woke up and saw Lin Mu checking Weibo.He leaned his head over to look, and it was still that funny food blogger, this time he made lamb with toothpicks.
A food blogger with a mellow Northeast accent: "This toothpick mutton, my friends, you must pay attention to the sheep you choose, and choose the best sheep. So what is the best sheep? The best sheep is often in the grass. Sheep on a stroll."
Lin Mu turned off the video, and proposed without thinking: "Do you want to go for a drive in the afternoon?"
Jimmy nodded, but Lin Mu answered immediately: "Bring the rock candy."
"The surname is Lin!!!"
In the end, they drove for four hours to a pasture more than 100 kilometers away from the Thar Desert.The climate on the edge of the desert is actually harsh and changeable. It is not easy to have a small oasis like the backyard of Jimmy’s house. It is really good luck and the maintenance of the herdsmen for many years to form a grassland.
Lin Mu listened to the car on the deserted island by the roadside, and Jimmy hugged Bingtang from the back seat.As soon as Bingtang saw the pasture, she hopped on all fours and ran away.
The stream is clear, the sky is blue, and a small group of white sheep bounced away on the green grass.
Jimmy chased after him and shouted: "Mumu!"
Lin Mu frowned, but the corners of his mouth were obviously sweet: "Who is your name?"
Unexpectedly, Jimmy caught up with the sheep and held it in his arms: "Mumu, listen to Dad and eat the organic grass here."
forest:"……"
Two people and one sheep spent a blissful afternoon on the pasture.Bingtang is too full to eat grass, and even his stomach is round. Jimmy hates it for being useless, thinking that if it goes on like this, its life is counting down all the time.
So worried that Jimmy took out a cigarette to smoke.
Jimmy leaned against the hood of the car and smoked, his camouflage uniform reflected in the blue sky and white clouds, like a member of the unscrupulous special operations team.
"Explosive beads." Lin Shu, who walked over to check the tires, commented with a slight sneer.Ever since Lin Mu slept with him, he has become like a child, he would snatch anything good from him, and would find faults and provoke him from time to time.
"What's wrong with the popcorn?!" Jimmy has always smoked popcorn cigarettes, and similar ridicules are familiar to him.
Lin Mu couldn't help rubbing his head: "Isn't it amazing that there is a jujube tree over there? There are still jujube trees in the desert."
Jimmy finished his cigarette, thought it was at least four hours before he got back to Tarr for dinner, and was eating a banana for a snack.Hearing that Lin Mu said that there were dates not far away, he rushed over immediately.
Lin Mu suddenly remembered something was wrong: "Hey wait! You can't eat jujubes! Jimmy, have you heard the Chinese say——"
Jimmy interrupted him, showing off to him with the cultural common sense of Chinese class in British high school that he was proud of: "Jujue has a precious son? Don't worry, if you don't know it yet, let me tell you: Lin Mu, men can't conceive."
Lin Mu lowered his head.
Jimmy happily jumped towards the jujube tree, saying, "If you don't believe me...you can try it tonight."
Before Lin Mu could stop him, he saw him pick a date, rinse it with mineral water, and stuff it into his mouth.
Lin Mu was heartbroken: "Don't hate me, Jimmy..."
In the next second, he saw Jimmy, the arms dealer, fall to the ground, throwing up heart-piercingly like he was three months pregnant.Bananas with Dates…
