War Photographer's Notebook

On the flight from Palau to the Monkey Country of the Philippines, the slightly noisy cabin was full of tourists traveling between the two places.And in the relatively quiet business class, apart from Wei Ran and Wan Qiu, there were only two strong men who didn't take off their sunglasses even in the cabin.

Although there is not much communication, Wei Ran can recognize at a glance, one of them is the driver who has been driving him and Wan Qiu these days.As for the other one, he had no memory of seeing it before.

Almost half a minute after the seat belt warning light went off, a stewardess approached Wei Ran and whispered in soft Chinese, "Mr. Wei, please move to the first-class cabin, it is safe enough and enough Private."

Glancing at Wan Qiu who was sitting next to him, Wei Ran nodded, unfastened his seat belt, followed the stewardess out of the business class, and walked into the relatively more spacious first class.

There are not many first-class seats on this flight, but at this time there is only a gentle woman in a cheongsam sitting in the front seat. After a cheongsam woman raised her hand as a signal, she turned and left the first-class cabin again.

After a little hesitation, Wei Ran walked to the seat just across the aisle from the cheongsam woman and sat down.

From this angle, he could clearly see that this cheongsam woman who looked at most 30 years old not only had an outstanding temperament, but also had an extraordinarily beautiful appearance.

If he used a very precise description, he could only say that this woman was in line with the Chinese aesthetics, both in appearance and temperament.

But compared to this beautiful appearance, the dark golden metal hairpin that this woman seemed to be holding her hair casually made him inexplicably feel that she was a little dangerous.

"Am I pretty?"

The woman put down the champagne in her hand, turned her head to look at Wei Ran with a smile, and asked gently in indistinguishable Chinese, "If I have seen enough, can I introduce myself?"

“Really beautiful”

Wei Ran smiled, and replied calmly, "Of course, I'm even more surprised that the second generation has such a young little aunt."

"Jia Ya"

"Wei Ran"

The woman smiled and stretched out her hand to Wei Ran who was across the aisle, and waited until Wei Ran gently held her small half of the palm and shook it slightly, then she withdrew her hand and said slowly, "My husband and I There is not much blood relationship in this world, so my eldest nephew would call out his disgusting little aunt against his will when he begged me for something, other times he would call me by my first name."

"That's his loss." Wei Ran tentatively said in a joking tone, "But I can see that the Second King is very afraid of his little aunt."

Hearing this, Jia Ya just smiled gently, and directly changed the subject and said, "This time I took the liberty to meet with Mr. Wei, but I have nothing else to do. One is to replace the elder sister of the Second King to thank you for speaking to the Second King at Savage Mountain. Take care of the world. Two."

"Miss Jia Ya, you may as well speak directly." Wei Ran looked at Jia Ya sitting opposite with a smile on his face, but his heart was full of vigilance.

"I heard that you asked the Second King to search for some scumbags?"

"That's true." Wei Ran nodded happily.

"What do you need them for?" Jia Ya looked at Wei Ran and asked straightforwardly.

"Give full play to their due value" Wei Ran replied while looking at the other party's eyes calmly.

The four eyes were staring at each other for five or six seconds, Jia Ya suddenly smiled, and said casually while brushing her long hair hanging by her ears, "I believe what you said, two Because this matter has come to my head, so for "

She didn't finish her sentence here, but she got up suddenly and rushed forward, at the same time, she pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Wei Ran's eyes directly!

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, Wei Ran, who had been vigilant for a long time, grabbed the opponent's slender wrist holding the hairpin. At this time, Jia Ya used the momentum to press the knee of one leg on Wei Ran's two legs. At the same time, her other hand also pulled out another hairpin from the thigh exposed by the slit of the cheongsam on this leg and pressed it against Wei Ran's chest.

However, the slowly intensifying pain at the wrist and the cool but deadly sharp touch on the neck made her simply re-fix the hairpin that had been on Wei Ran's chest to the flesh-colored stockings on her thigh.

Seeing this, Wei Ran also let go of the opponent's wrist, allowing her to use the hairpin that was intended to stab her eyes to hold her long hair, and then gently pushed the lock on the gravity knife, in " "Click" and with a soft sound, the blade that was originally touching the opponent's neck was retracted.

However, Jia Ya did not leave. Instead, she pressed the seat backs on the left and right sides of Wei Ran's head with both hands, turned her upper body over, put her mouth next to his ear and asked in a low voice, "So who do you work for?" ?”

"Who do you work for?"

Wei Ran smiled, and also answered calmly against the other person's ear, "Work for those little people who are unknown in history but are as epic as heroes, and work for myself."

"I can't even smell the slightest bit of lying"

"I'm telling the truth"

"Like Mr. Hawks who used the relic to guide you to Palau this time?"

"Yes" Wei Ran replied simply.

"I've seen your interview with that French girl, and your answers and your translations are very interesting."

"It was only after the interview that I realized that Xia Shushi's translation of my words didn't even match the punctuation marks." When Wei Ran said this, there was also a hint of regret in his tone.

Jia Ya smiled, and continued to whisper into Wei Ran's ear, "If it wasn't for the temptation just now, based on the interview on the US warship, I'm afraid I would think you're just a smart but reckless historian gone."

"Miss Jia Ya asked me to meet in this kind of place and communicate in this posture, I'm afraid it's not just to test me, a smart but somewhat reckless historian, right?"

"After all, the second is my eldest nephew. Although we don't have much blood relationship and our personal relationship is not very good, but his sister and I are very good friends."

Jia Ya lowered her voice a bit, "The Second Emperor is very good at making troubles, especially recently someone encouraged him to keep some mental patients in captivity, I certainly need to see who came up with such a dangerous but creative idea for him bad idea."

"It's a Cuban lunatic, not me." Wei Ran whispered in his heart, but his mind was thinking about Jia Ya's origin.

Seeing that Wei Ran didn't speak, Jia Ya smiled, "Of course, your plan to adopt a child touched my bottom line, so I have to confirm it myself."

"So what's the result?" Wei Ran asked with a normal expression,

"I will help you find the children and scum you need"

Jia Ya paused, and continued to whisper into Wei Ran's ear, "Frankly speaking, I'm not optimistic about what you guys want to do."

Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you know a lot of things?"

"As long as the beating hurts enough, my nephew will be honest enough to me."

Jia Ya paused, and although she was still almost lying on Wei Ran's body, her tone was much more serious, "Wei Ran, even a public opinion war without gunpowder will bring you many dangers, and it is very likely that even if you pay Trying hard won't change anything."

"But someone has to do it, as long as someone is doing it."

Wei Ran's frank tone was full of confidence, "Just like most wildfires that start a prairie fire, at the beginning they were just a flame that would be extinguished by a gust of wind."

"so what?"

"So?" Wei Ran laughed, and said in a more confident tone, "So of course we must be motivated to become arsonists who fan the flames everywhere."

"Arsonists?"

Jia Ya smiled, pushed her hands hard, and finally stood up straight, and took back the leg that had been pressing on the seat between Wei Ran's legs, as if nothing happened just now, and sat down again. returned to her place.

"For the sake of your courage, I will help you as much as I can. Of course, I will keep the temptation just now a secret."

"Thank you"

Wei Ran thanked him sincerely, and at the same time finally raised his hand, rubbed his itchy nose and ears that had just been pricked by the other party's hair, changed the subject and said, "Your perfume smells good, can you tell me What brand is it? I haven't had time to prepare a gift for my girlfriend yet."

"Before you meet your girlfriends, I will help you prepare a bottle for each of them as a gift." Jia Ya said with a smile.

"Well, actually, you only need to prepare one bottle."

Wei Ran spread his hands in embarrassment. Although he didn't remember explaining this misunderstanding to many people, this woman named Jia Ya obviously did it on purpose.

"Tell me how you brought that knife on the plane?" Jia Ya also changed the question, and even the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed.

"It was pinned to my hair and I told the staff it was my beloved little pink barrette and obviously they believed it."

Wei Ran made a joke by pointing at the top of his head, but he was not dissatisfied with the other party's slightly sweet temptation just now.

He could see that this woman who was not a few years older than him hadn't planned to kill him at all just now, and he believed even more that if the other party wanted to kill him, they didn't need to choose a plane at an altitude of [-] meters.

"My eldest nephew has always made some dubious friends"

While joking, Jia Ya picked up a jewelry box from the small bag beside her and opened it, took out a warm bracelet from it, and put it on the wrist that was almost pinched by Wei Ran just now, barely covering it remaining fingerprints.

"The Second King is afraid of his little aunt for a reason." Wei Ran said, not forgetting to pretend to hide the gravity knife in the cuff of his left hand.

"Can you lend me that knife?"

Jia Ya rested the elbow of the hand that just put on the bracelet on the armrest, and supported her chin with this hand, and at the same time stretched out the other hand to the aisle between the two.

"Remember to return it to me," Wei Ran said, and took off the gravity knife that was pinned to the cuff just now and handed it to the other party.

After receiving the Gravity Knife, Jia Ya flung out the sharp stainless steel blade with ease after a little research, and then put it back into the handle with a "click".

"Let the friendship from the sky continue on the ground"

Jia Ya read out the words inlaid in gold on the hilt of the knife in German, then turned it over and read another oath on the hilt in Russian, "Let the hatred from the ground go to the sky to solve it."

"Do you know German and Russian?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"These two sentences fit the occasion, don't they?" Jia Ya said in German.

"At least the first half of the sentence really fits the occasion"

Wei Ran also changed into German and tactfully expressed his kindness, "But let's forget about the second half of the sentence. If you look around me, you will know that I have never had any hatred with beautiful girls."

"There are indeed many beautiful girls around you"

When Jia Ya switched back to Chinese, she also returned the gravity knife to Wei Ran, "I like this paratrooper knife very much. If you can find the same model, can you give me one as a gift?"

"No problem at all"

When Wei Ran took the paratrooper knife, he readily agreed to it. This kind of trivial matter is not difficult for him or Jia Ya, but the gift is a symbol of the beginning of friendship.
