He Tianya and Mulan walked into the castle. A snow-white old man was sitting on the sofa in the hall, his feet bared, stepping on the expensive wool carpet.
The fire in the fireplace is burning vigorously, making the whole hall very warm.
The man in the wheelchair led he Tianya to the living room and turned away.
At the moment, news is playing on the big TV in the living room.
Huaxia news.
The background of the news is a picture with white characters on a black background.
There are two big words on the top——
Obituaries.
When seeing this picture, the smile on he Tianya's face suddenly solidified.
Yes, the smile didn't disappear, but it looked like it was frozen on the face.
He Tianya grinned, but his eyes were slowly filled with tears.
Because the host in the TV news has begun to introduce Bai Keqing's life, and sorrow and joy have also spread to his ears.
Although he had already made psychological preparations and decided to make some changes for this moment, when he really came to this day, he Tianya still found that the weight brought by those sorrows was far beyond his bearing limit.
Seeing his father's head appear in the background of the obituary, he Tianya's throat rolled up and down a few times, and his lips, which had not been closed, also began to tremble.
Although I used to dislike my father's way of doing things, although I often had disputes with him, and even father and son often fell into a cold war, at this moment, this life and death separation, which is thousands of miles away, is still too striking.
That kind of suffocation makes people's spirit and body fall into a state of collapse at the same time.
He Tianya has always believed that he is not afraid of anything and can risk everything. However, now he is very afraid to see his father's body - even across the TV screen and across the ocean.
The old man sitting on the sofa didn't bother. He was waiting for the news to be broadcast, which would also give he Tianya an emotional buffer time.
Mulan stood quietly aside, saying nothing. There was still no expression on his pretty face, which was in sharp contrast to the complicated expression of he Tianya.
She and her father have been separated for many years, and she doesn't know whether the other party is dead or alive at all. Therefore, Mulan still quite understands the real mood of he Tianya at the moment.
"Hehe, it's ridiculous. My father passed away. As a son, I can only know the news on TV thousands of miles away." He Tianya shook his head, his face was full of self mockery, and his eyes were full of sadness.
When I really came to this moment, I found that all the previous psychological preparations were useless.
The news was broadcast for 20 minutes. After the obituary, it introduced Bai Keqing's life and deeds. Such a long time of broadcast is very rare in the prime time of Huaxia news. There is no doubt that after Bai Keqing's death, at least on the surface, Huaxia gave him the highest respect.
And the mistakes Bai Keqing once made have temporarily vanished, and his life has been settled. Future generations will comment on his merits and demerits.
The memorial service is scheduled for a day and a half later.
I don't know if it's a coincidence. At the beginning of the memorial service, it happens to be the end of 72 hours here.
After the news broadcast ended and remained silent for a long time, the old man sitting on the sofa said, "unfortunately, he, your father is excellent. He could have become an excellent politician."
"No, I think he's good enough now." He Tianya's eyes are full of blood,
A smile appeared on his face: "my father actually didn't know it all the time. I took him as my example for a long time in the past."
After a slight pause, he Tianya said, "however, now, I have no chance to tell him such words."
His eyes were sad and his voice was low.
However, as his voice fell, the sad eyes began to slowly shrink from he Tianya's eyes.
"You Chinese have an old saying, which calls sadness as motivation. I like this sentence very much. This is also the reason why I have been walking until now." The old man sitting on the sofa said, "because I have been in sadness and betrayal, this is the background of my life."
"I didn't expect that you were still alive." He Tianya tried to suppress all the surging emotions at the bottom of his heart, squeezed out a smile, and said, "after all, I've read your name from the history books of my student days. Of course, those jokes with you as the protagonist are more widely spread."
"Well, for example, the story of me and the pig, the story of me and the driver, the story of giving a drunken speech in English, and the story of knocking the table with the shoes of Arab representatives at the United Nations General Assembly." The old man laughed and didn't think he Tianya's words offended him at all. He said, "except that the last thing is true, there is nonsense ahead, but I'm very happy that I can bring joy to everyone in this way."
"In fact, now, everyone thinks that you are a very humorous person." He Tianya said.
"Your sentence itself is very humorous." The old man smiled and said, "I like you very much, young man from China."
"Thank you for your comment, Mr. bonnev." He Tianya said.
Bonev!
He was privich's teacher!
But later, the relationship between this famous master and apprentice was not too harmonious.
In Europe, bonnev must be a leader of a relatively failed country. After all, under his leadership, a superpower quickly declined and has not recovered yet.
However, this actually has little to do with bonnev's own leadership. Many things are determined by the times, and no one can stop the torrent of the times.
Now, many historians and sociologists are overturning bonnev's case. After all, from the current perspective, many of bonnev's practices at that time were very forward-looking and sharp sighted. However, if you want to promote the reform of a country that can be called a behemoth by yourself, the difficulty is hell level, the resistance encountered is unimaginable, and the failure is expected.
You are right, but you appear at the wrong time.
"Sit down and talk." Bonnev pointed to the sofa next to him, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
He waved, and a servant came over and poured two glasses of wine for he Tianya and Mulan.
The strong smell of alcohol began to fill the room.
"Vodka." He Tianya smiled, "it makes me doubt that the previous jokes are true."
"It's true that I love drinking. In this cold and frozen place, vodka is warmer than a bearskin coat." Bonnev said with a smile.
He Tianya picked up his glass and drank it in one gulp. The strong spicy feeling instantly spread like an explosion in his mouth.
From the throat to the stomach, it was full of a hot feeling.
This heat mixed with the sadness in his heart, making he Tianya's eyes redder, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Mulan also drank the vodka, but she coughed repeatedly as if she had enough alcohol
, a blush also appeared on her pretty face.
"To come to me means that you want to destroy." Bonev first looked at he Tianya, and then his eyes shifted to Mulan: "this girl with special constitution is the same."
Obviously, bonnev had seen through Mulan's real identity at a glance.
"It is said that her former boss has a good relationship with you." He Tianya said.
"Yes, it's a pity that he chose to quit and was unwilling to continue this great cause with me." Bonnev said, "to cooperate with me, you must have the fire of hatred burning in your heart. Now, both of you meet this condition and are qualified partners."
With that, he stretched out his hand.
He Tianya shook hands with bonnev before saying, "has there always been a fire of hatred in your heart?"
"Of course, but my hatred is not because of those joke sets, but because of countless betrayals." Bonnev smiled and said, "let's together, let those who betray us pay the price of their lives."
After hearing this, he Tianya nodded deeply, and then said, "will it involve many innocent people?"
"Living is the original sin, and no one is really innocent." Bonev looked at he Tianya and said, "besides, do you care about the lives of those people?"
"Don't care." He Tianya laughed, and there was a cruel smell in his eyes.
…………
A few hours later, he Tianya and Mulan left this ice castle. They went away quickly in a dog sled, leaving several long traces in the white world.
"He is a pervert." Mulan said.
This "he", of course, refers to bonnev.
"What about me? Am I not a pervert?" He Tianya said with a smile that he looked in a good mood.
It seems that the decision to cooperate with bonnev made him feel relieved.
In fact, this cooperation has been inevitable since he Tianya "received" Mulan, which is just a matter of time.
This is also the arrangement of Mulan's former boss.
Mulan didn't answer the question of whether she was abnormal. Obviously, she already had the relevant answer in her heart.
He Tianya stretched: "destroy it, hurry."
Mulan nodded, "the destruction has begun."
He Tianya pursed his lips and smiled.
"Just, why did bonnev do this?" Mulan asked.
"There are probably two reasons."
He Tianya said, "on the one hand, he is very old and doesn't have much time to live. Moreover, if I guess correctly, it is the fire of hatred in his chest that supports him to live until now."
"What about the second reason?" Mulan asked again.
"The collection of jokes about bonnev is circulating all over the world. He said he was willing to bring happiness to people in this way, but if it were you, would you like your image to become such a clown?" Speaking of this, he Tianya laughed again, "but now think about it, the jokes in the bonnev era are really interesting."
Due to the widely spread collection of jokes, most people around the world now think that bonnev is a funny clown, which is almost impossible to reverse.
Mulan listened and thought carefully before saying, "then I think the second reason is more critical."
"By the way, the man in the wheelchair..." he Tianya asked.
"His name is sheriff." Mulan's voice was soft.
