1 Prologue:Martyr（Ⅰ）
Lightning streaks across the night sky, and pouring rain roars wildly over and over washing this border county in southwestern China.
This is an old residential area, the green siding outside the paint the wall is peeling off in pieces, being smashed to pieces under the rainstorm. A few years ago, the county government said it would introduce developers to bulldoze this old residential area to build new buildings, but the bidding came only a few small real estate developers, almost all the young people flowed to the provincial capital or big cities outside the province to work, the county isn't have so much young and strong labor force, the spending power is naturally not high.
The demolition price given by the developer is not attractive, and the living population here is aging, residents are reluctant to move out, the project is so shelved, the new development plan aborted.
This old residential area has always been like the psoriasis of the city, looking like trash and dead.
The Hummer H2 was parked on a potholed arterial road, this car out of place in its surroundings, as if the emperor's palanquin had arrived in a yellow-tinged mountain village as surprisingly as the Hummer had no open headlights, as dead as this residential area, just parked in silence, like a giant beast waiting in silence for its prey.
"Chong zi?"
Darkness enveloped the interior of the Hummer . But with flicker of a point flames. , soot billowing down.
The left window, the right window and the front windshield have a shallow reflection of the master smoking, the same reflection of each piece of glass also has a star of flickering cigarette flames, like blazing red fireflies flying in the darkness of the night.
"The site has approved your leave application." The middle-aged man took a vicious puff of smoke and slowly exhaled a light blue smoke ring. The smoke ring gradually collapsed and dissipated, turning into a piece of light blue smoke into Xiao Tengchong's nasal cavity, which should have choked the smell of smoke but let him feel surprisingly some addiction.
"But I also need to sign and give you stamp." The middle-aged man smiled,"I do not stamp you can not leave."At this moment the middle-aged man is like a naughty child, clutching a candy in his hand and shouted, "I will not give you will not give you."
Xiao Tengchong apparently used to it, he said with a helpless tone: "Then the master does not give me approval, I will not go home ."
"You're just fine here with Shifu." "The middle-aged man laughed and took a red mud seal out of his coat pocket. Xiao Tengchong knew that this was an old habit of the master. The master had said that he liked to write something when he was young, and then he pretended to stamp the red mud seal on himself, engraved with the words" Chinese Writers Association".
"When you're done, you can take this car and go straight home. It's only a hundred and eighty kilometers." He knew Xiao Tengchong home in his name that city, at that time, Xiao Tengchong also said to him that his father gave him a name at will, his mother let his father to the hospital name, his father directly said oh my son called him Tengchong, and then went to the community chess room bloody battle. The middle-aged man flicked the ash, the gray ash fell a thin layer on the steering wheel.
He stamped the seal on the application for leave, and no people know it was just smeared the inkpad . The three bright red words "Wang Jinghai" look dazzling abnormal in the dark.
"Then how do you go, Master?" Xiao Tengchong looked out the car window, the wind whistled and slapped the raindrops hard on the bulletproof glass, making a crackling sound.
"I'll call the Foundation's helicopter to go, don't mind me, and, Chong zi, keep my baby safe, if there is a little cut, you don't even think about your future vacation." Wang Jinghai mouth with a few threats.
"I know, master." Xiao Tengchong replied, but the edge of his mouth secretly raised an arc.
"Chong zi , wait you a few years work done outside the office, you will be able to pick up the world's girls, by then you probably do not want your wife-in-law."
Wang Jinghai giggled, "your master I went to Japan that time in the field, you should know, to catch the TOUHEI that action, Tokyo those girls fine skin and tender meat, tsk." His eyes narrowed slightly.
Xiao Tengchong laughed out loud, the master has not married, according to the words of the master, do not need marriage and love in their line of work, not to mention the need for children, everyone is like a machine like a continuous axis, the Foundation is their home.
He did not agree with the master's statement, the master also often told him how good the Japanese girls, he also felt a little sad for the master,he think the master must also had fantasized about a family, longing for their love, but these were suppressed by themselves, to dedicate everything to the SCP.
"Just kidding , you and Qiu Xia to be great to me, immediately give birth to a child, we Chinese people are concerned about the author for three, without unfilial to big, when your child is full moon I am still waiting to drink Maotai." Wang Jinghai smiled broadly, revealing a mouthful of smoked yellow teeth, "Enjoy your vacation, after all, for people like us, leisure time is as precious as gold ah."
Wang Jinghai looked out of the car window to the darkness of rain, and turned his head to look at the time, the car LCD screen glowed outward blue, the upper left corner of the time bar is "1:30" several white numbers.
"It's almost time, why hasn't the Thai side contacted us yet." Wang Jinghai once again looked his eyes towards the rain curtain, under which was endless darkness, which seemed to be hiding countless the pair of invisible eyes staring at this Hummer H2.
He put out his almost burnt out cigarette and casually threw it to the bottom of his feet, his task experience over the years had given him an intuitive reaction beyond the ordinary, a vague uneasiness surged to his heart.
Xiao Tengchong also felt the atmosphere in the carriage changed all of a sudden, gloomy lingered around, as the smoke floating around him, so he could not breathe.
The rainstorm hit the roof of the Humvee, releasing a "dang" knocking sound, also like a heavy hammer in their hearts.
