Chapter 209 Skyquake
Frankfurt, Germany, Europe
There is a tight wall in the inaccessible area of the outskirts of the country, and within the wall stands a castle-like manor.welcome to read
It is majestic and full of historical atmosphere, and it is not luxurious and tainted with vulgar copper smell. Above the gate of the main building of the manor, there is a round shield with a head carved on it: Frederick I.
The floor of the main building of the manor is covered with a red carpet, and different art paintings are hung on the left and right walls. In a large room in the depths of the sixth floor, you will be greeted by a room full of well-arranged luxury goods, a dazzling array of jewels and jewels. .
An old man who was over seventy years old and had lost his hair was leaning on a cane, turning a blind eye to the piles of expensive treasures, and his eyes fell on an old photo in the corner.
His old and wrinkled hands reached out and gently caressed the photo frame. The old man's eyes recalled. In the black and white photo, a young soldier in military uniform embraced a boy with a happy smile on his face.
A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the gate of the manor, and a 50-year-old man walked down. He pushed open the gate of the wall and walked to the gate of the main building. He walked into the lobby on the first floor and found a news item repeatedly playing on the TV. .
That piece of news is precisely the exchange of art and cultural relics between the East and the West.
He adjusted his clothes, stepped up the stairs, and saw the figure of the old man in the deep room on the sixth floor.
"Father."
The man opened his mouth to call softly, and the old man seemed to wake up from a long memory, straightened his back and turned around, beckoning to the man.
This old man who seems to be about 80 years old and a 50-year-old man walked to the balcony together. The sun was setting, and it was just when the afterglow was shining, and the reflection in the countryside was very beautiful.
The 50-year-old man supported the old man to stand on the edge of the balcony. The old man looked at the dusk scene, as if it was a symbol of his own life's curtain call.
"Ralph, as a child in the Second World War, I hid in my mother's arms and feared every day when the Nazi Party began to crumble. Will our homeland be taken? Will our family be attacked by the Allies after The persecution? At that time. My mother would comfort me to sleep every day, and she would tell my father’s ideals in my ears. My father would escort a batch of treasures. The Nazi Party is about to die, and these treasures will belong to our family and can make us rich and happy live on, every night. I have this sweet dream in my ears."
The 50-year-old man has a calm expression, while the old man is still talking.
"The Allies began to counterattack, stupid Dongying people, they invaded China. They attacked Pearl Harbor and broke the pre-war agreement. If Dongying and us join forces in Eastern Europe and carve up the Soviet Union, the history and pattern of the world will be turned upside down! Yelang invaded Midway Island from the earth, the Pacific Ocean The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, and Japan could only be the dog of the United States in the end! Stalingrad was not captured. Alamein was defeated. Three million Allied troops crossed the English Channel and landed in Normandy. The Nazi Party was defeated, and the German Empire collapsed."
The old man closed his eyes and sighed, his face full of vicissitudes was full of melancholy.
His tone suddenly changed.become sad.
"My mother took me to flee, and we changed our names and lived in seclusion in South America for ten years. Ralph, remember your nainai. He was ravaged by countless dirty South Americans in order to feed your father. In the end, he was less than 40 years old , she was killed by a disease."
With a heavy heart, Ralph said with moist eyes, "Nainai is the greatest woman in the world."
The old man took a deep breath, changed his tone again, and said indifferently: "It took me a month to return to Europe from South America. However, it took me 50 years to walk from the slums to the top of Deutsche Bank. During these 50 years, the revival of Germany It is my lifelong wish. I have witnessed the European Community to the European Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Up to now, the fate of Europe is in our hands. Ralph, we want our children and grandchildren to remember it in our hearts, and we must not disappoint the Hohenzollern family glory."
Ralph nodded seriously and agreed, "Everyone in the family will definitely keep this in mind."
The old man was already a candle in the wind, he looked at the sunset lonely, and sighed: "We are as rich as a country, but next second or tomorrow, I will close my eyes and sleep forever, but I will have a regret."
Ralph was heartbroken, and said deeply, "That ship."
The old man nodded and said: "There is nothing more cruel than being robbed of dreams. I spent 30 years looking for the sunken ship, but the Chinese found out that they robbed my dreams, and the treasure was found again. Ri, but my father's body was thrown into the sea like garbage, and it is impossible to find it again."
Helping the old man to sit down on the deck chair on the balcony, Ralph took a blanket and covered him. After watching the old man fall asleep, he walked downstairs slowly, passing by the TV on the first floor, he picked up the remote control, and A second before turning off the TV, his eyes became cold.
On the way out of the manor, a name hovered in Ralph's mind.
Tang Xin, Tang Xin, Tang Xin, Tang Xin!
......
Tang Xin is going to travel far again, but this time, he has the right to go on vacation.
The previous two trips to Bangzi Country were exhausting, not relaxing at all.
After a night of indulgent passion with Cheng Mu in Wei Ya Garden, Tang Xin hugged her delicate body in the early morning, stroking her twin peaks fondly, Cheng Mu's lovely face was flushed, and he was snoozing Suddenly she opened Tang Xin's hand, and whispered: "Oh, let me sleep for a while, you hurry up, don't delay the plane."
Tang Xin pinched her nose, she opened her mouth to breathe, Tang Xin lowered her head and kissed her mouth again, she was about to push him away with both hands in a while, gasping for air, opened her sleepy eyes and said: "What are you doing? ah?"
"Why don't you come with me?"
Tang Xin asked confidently.
Cheng Mu rubbed his eyes and sat up holding the quilt, yawned and said, "I want to work."
She really has a job, and the return of Chinese cultural relics means she has to work for a long time.
Tang Xin felt a bit self-inflicted, she was involved in business, and this trip abroad, he became a loner.
He stopped making things difficult for her and got up by himself. When he was still getting dressed, he found Cheng Mu also got up from the bed, turned around and said with a smile, "Did you change your mind?"
The naked Cheng Mu put on his pajamas, puffed his cheeks and said, "I was woken up by you, I can't sleep now, I'll make you breakfast."
She put on her slippers and went out of the bedroom door, Tang Xin continued to organize her clothes.
Today, he will fly to Europe with his parents, many people from Yanguang Charity and the official Huaxia people.
The specific location is Italy.
But more precisely, to the Vatican.
Negotiations with European countries have come to an end.However, there are more than 30 religious artworks and important religious relics among these works of art. Huaxia officials hope that Yanguang Charity can return these to the Vatican free of charge, and also use this to improve the relationship between China and the Vatican.
Just these few things.It is not very valuable to keep it, and it is a good thing to sell personal favors and share the country's worries.Just be a favor.
So, Tang Xin also took a ride, went with his parents first, and then came back after playing outside for a few days, just to relax.
After getting dressed, Tang Xin went downstairs.Cheng Mu made a simple breakfast before going upstairs to continue to sleep. When passing by Tang Xin, she took the initiative to hug him and kissed him warmly.
After breakfast, we went to the airport. After Tang Xin met his parents, they boarded the plane and flew to Rome together.
Originally, he traveled with the mentality of traveling, but when Tang Xin arrived in Rome, he found that it was not as easy as he imagined.
Yan Guangxi was received by the Vatican.And the Vatican will also hold a ceremony.At the same time, we have to do some work on publicity, and these trivial matters have become official business.
Tang Xin had no choice but to leave his parents and go on a trip alone.
He didn't use props, he was leisurely, and traveled around European countries by means of transportation.
......
Half a month later.Via Garden
Cheng Mu opened the door with big and small shopping bags in his hand, and after entering, he enthusiastically waved to the little girl outside, "Jiawei, come in."
Ge Jiawei was also carrying a shopping bag from the mall, she was helping Cheng Mu.She walked into the room, and Cheng Mu went to close the door. She carefully looked at the interior layout and utensils, and sighed: "This doesn't look like the home of a rich man."
She didn't say a word: My house is more luxuriously decorated than yours!
Cheng Mu picked up the bag and walked in, and said with a smile, "Tang Xin said that there are too many valuables in the house, which will attract thieves."
Ge Jiawei followed her to the kitchen, nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. I'm fine this afternoon, and you are alone, let's have lunch together. In addition, if you still need my help, just speak up."
Cheng Mu opened the refrigerator, looked at it, and said, "Then make something to eat at noon. I'm going to make dumplings in the afternoon. If I don't go out, I won't bother you."
Ge Jiawei shook her head and said, "I'm free too, I'll help you and make lunch first."
The two girls made lunch together, took a break after eating, and continued their work.
Ge Jiawei saw that Cheng Mu was wiping the sweat from her head while making peace with a smile. It seemed that she was full of energy.
"Are you going to make dumpling wrappers with noodles yourself?"
Without raising his head, Cheng Mu turned over a ball of dough with great effort, continued to knead the dough vigorously, and said, "Well, the dumpling skin outside is not tasty, and the ones made by myself are chewy. Tang Xin likes handmade dumplings. The dumpling wrappers made by machine are not fragrant at all.”
Ge Jiawei scratched her head and went to help, she asked very puzzled: "Your husband travels alone, you are not afraid, he, is he promiscuous outside?"
Cheng Mu paused for a moment, and then continued with his hand a second later. He was a little absent-minded, but he pulled himself together and said, "As long as he comes home, I will be happy. Hehe, he sent me a photo last night. The Netherlands participated in the bicycle race and won No.9. Haha, I flew back from Amsterdam this morning and arrived in the evening, so I made dumplings and waited for him. He said that foreign food is fresh at first, but it gets boring afterward. "
"Amsterdam? That's Xingdu. Your husband, uh, forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."
Ge Jiawei exclaimed, anyway, she felt that a man who went to places like Amsterdam or Monaco would probably not do good things.
After the dough was finished, Cheng Mu began to wash the vegetables, chop the meat, and stir the stuffing.
Ge Jiawei collapsed a little.
"You guys make dumplings by yourself, will you make three kinds of stuffing for one meal?"
She felt that Cheng Mu, who was very happy in his busy life, was like a monster.
Pork cabbage, pork fennel, lamb stuffing.
In a normal family, it would not be so troublesome to make three kinds of fillings when eating dumplings?
Cheng Mu was stirring the stuffing, and said with a smile, "Normally, I don't have much time today, so I made two more kinds of stuffing. Tang Xin likes to eat these three."
Ge Jiawei also picked up a sea bowl and began to stir the stuffing. She lost her mind and said, "Is it so tiring to be a woman?"
After the filling was ready and the noodles were ready, Cheng Mu and Ge Jiawei spent the whole afternoon making [-] dumplings.
She put a hundred in bags for Ge Jiawei and asked her to take them away. She packed two more bags, seventy each, and prepared to send them to Tang Bin and Cheng Wenyue. She kept sixty, and she would eat fifteen by herself. Enough is enough, the rest is Tang Xin's.
Seeing that dusk was approaching, Cheng Mu was going to go out to deliver dumplings, and Ge Jiawei was also planning to go home.
Cheng Mu's phone rang suddenly.
She was surprised to see that it was Ye Qiu calling. Since Ye Qiu left China, she rarely contacted people in China.
Twenty seconds after she picked up the phone, her face was pale, and she said with a dry smile, "Ye Qiu, it's been a long time since April Fool's Day, don't be joking."
After her mobile phone slipped to the floor, the bag in her other hand also fell to the floor.
Ge Jiawei looked at Cheng Mu strangely, as if he was stimulated.
Cheng Mu walked to the living room in a daze, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. Her own TV could receive signals from foreign TV stations. She tuned to a TV in a European country. When she saw a piece of news, she felt as if all her strength had been taken out of her body. Fainted to the ground.
Ge Jiawei was startled, and hurried over to hug Cheng Mu. She looked up at the TV screen, dumbfounded.
"The flight klxxxx from Amsterdam to Huaxia crashed unexpectedly while passing over the Black Sea this morning. The plane exploded in the sky. Officials preliminarily determined that there were no survivors. The list of all passengers on this flight is:... Huaxia nationality Man: Tang Xin."
