Indiana Jones

Chapter 189: Going Astray Again (04)

What Si Xuanyi never expected was that Li Siming would appear in front of him, he thought he was dreaming...

"You...you..." Si Xuanyi was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't know what to say, maybe he couldn't speak at all, he thought Li Siming had already died in the forest, but now he was standing in front of him alive, His brain went blank and he couldn't react at all, Li Siming calmly saluted Si Xuanyi with a standard military salute, but the latter was still standing there in a daze, unable to react.

"Surprised, aren't you?" Li Siming entered the cell, took out a cigarette and handed it to Si Xuanyi while looking down.

Si Xuanyi opened his mouth and looked at Li Siming in a daze, only then did he realize that Li Siming was wearing a straight military uniform, which seemed to be a level higher than when he was in the forest.

"Reunion after a long absence, why don't you have anything to say to me?" Li Siming turned around and waved to the people outside the door. Immediately, someone brought in some things, washing utensils, a change of clothes, and a large wooden barrel, and someone began to add water to it. , Looking at the posture, he was asked to take a bath, and someone beside him had already prepared the tools for a haircut and shave.

"You are Li Siming!" It took a long time for Si Xuanyi to say this with certainty.

"That's right, it's me!" Li Siming smoked a cigarette and went out and said, "I'll wait outside, you should tidy yourself up first, and talk later when you have something to say."

Si Xuanyi was still puzzled, but he finally felt a lot more at ease when he saw that the clothes he changed into were a set of military uniforms. Although it was just an ordinary military uniform without epaulets and collar flowers, it was a kind of recognition in itself, at least he admitted that he was a military uniform. soldier.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't come up with Ziwu Maoyou. Although he vaguely guessed something, Li Siming's appearance should have helped him out. Whether it was to prove something or to say something good for him, it was a good turning point after all. As for the details, he couldn't speculate, and then he simply didn't think about anything, sat down and asked someone to comb his hair first, and shave off the long dirty beard on his face.Since he was arrested in Shanghai, he has never washed his hair, face, or shaved. In fact, he is not much different from the Mai Tai ghost he met before. After cleaning his beard and hair, he took off his body and was dirty. After throwing away his clothes, he took a quick shower. An hour later, Si Xuanyi appeared in front of Li Siming full of energy, regaining his masculine and handsome appearance. The unique temperament seems to have a special charm. In a popular way, it is masculine.

Li Siming nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! I thought you were starving to death here."

"What's going on?" I don't know if it's because putting on the military uniform has subtly restored the soldier's aura, or the current situation has made him feel more at ease. In short, Si Xuanyi looks full of energy now.

"Don't worry, let's eat first!" Li Siming walked out while talking slowly.

When Si Xuanyi saw the sunlight outside, he involuntarily squinted his eyes. He hadn't seen the sky for a long time. All of this seemed so sudden, and it all felt so unreal.

At a noodle stall, Si Xuanyi wolfed down three bowls of noodles. It wasn't because he was so hungry, but because prison food was really unpalatable. Li Siming sat across from him, smoking a cigarette and looking at him.

"I never thought you were still alive." Si Xuanyi said while eating noodles, "And when we meet again, you are actually at the same level as me."

"I didn't expect you to be alive." Li Siming said, "The others are gone, right? Rhodes and Liang Rong."

"Compared to them, I'm just trying to survive." Si Xuanyi continued to eat his noodles without looking up.

"We are very lucky!" Li Siming said, "At least we are still alive!"

"Alive? I was arrested as soon as I came out! I also escaped, and the result? You are a guest, and I am a prisoner."

"It's not that pessimistic. When I came out, I was similar to you. I was also locked up and couldn't be trusted!" Li Siming said silently, "They also regarded me as a deserter."

"Then how did you get out?" Si Xuanyi asked, "And I have been locked up until now?"

"Because of you, because of your appearance, I proved my value, because the jade seal you brought out proved what I said, proved that we made contributions, and proved that we were fighting devils in the forest, not deserters!" Li Siming said.

Si Xuanyi's chopsticks stopped in mid-air for a long time before continuing to move: "It seems that I still have some value, that is to say, we have proved each other's existence, and the things the other party has done have made the higher-ups understand what we did , that’s why you got the pardon, right?”

"How can we talk about pardon if we are innocent? We are just rectifying our names." Li Siming said, "Don't you want to ask me how I survived?"

"No!" Si Xuanyi put down the finished noodle bowl, wiped his mouth and looked up at Li Siming, "Just like I don't want you to ask me how I survived, I don't want to recall those days, I don't want to think of those people , I don’t even want to think about what I have experienced.”

Li Siming passed a cigarette: "It seems that you were deeply hurt by Lin Zi."

"No, I am grateful for keeping me alive, but I also hate the person who took me away." Si Xuanyi took a deep breath, "You are no longer wearing the military uniform of the expeditionary army, tell me, where are you going to take me?" ? Who do you want to see? What do you want to do?"

"You have changed a lot!" Li Siming said.

"Really?" Si Xuanyi stood up and put on his military cap, "It's not important, the important thing is that we are still alive, thank you, thank you for coming, thank you for being alive!"

After speaking, Si Xuanyi strode towards the black car parked not far away.

Li Siming sighed and dropped his cigarette butt, took out two French coins, put them on the table, got up, and got into the car.

The car went around in a circle and returned to the garrison of the military command again, and entered the office where there were layers of defenses. There were busy figures everywhere. The intelligence agencies in wartime are always like this. It can even be said that intelligence controls the context of war and affects The result of each battle, and even the development and trend of the entire battle situation.

Before entering the inner compound, Li Siming and Si Xuanyi went through more than one inspection. It seemed that they were about to meet some important person. Si Xuanyi didn't say a word, and neither did Li Shiming. In the end, the two were taken to a room similar to In the reception room, the person who brought them in asked them to wait here. A sentry was set up at the door to strictly prohibit them from entering and leaving at will. Through the window, they could see the scene in the yard. Soon, a black car entered the yard. A person got out of the car, and Li Siming whispered behind Si Xuanyi: "Director Mao..."
