The Great Winter Soldier

016

"So, this is your home." Xia Tian followed Nicole to a dilapidated building and walked up the stairs. On the second floor, a group of non-mainstream people were smoking and playing loud and harsh music. On the fourth floor, while walking through the corridor, I heard the sounds of various men and women having fun.

Nicole was in a daze. Standing in front of the apartment door, she didn't know what to do. She didn't want to open the door and push away the painful memories in her heart.

Xia Tian kicked the door open and found that the inside was in a mess and covered with dust. Apparently no one had been here for a long time.

Nicole's heart twitched violently. Everything started when her brother became addicted to drugs. The happy family was torn apart in just a few months. The drug addiction tore the man's perfect mask into pieces, and the man's perfect mask was shattered. Nicole's heart was completely torn apart. After being sold to the gang on the spot, Nicole witnessed her drug-addicted brother kicking her weak father off the bed.

The father who narrowly escaped death from a car accident had no choice but to move out of the hospital and return home to recuperate because his family did not have enough money to pay for the disease. He was killed by a crazy young man.

Nicole, who was immersed in endless dark memories, only realized that many things had passed after Xia Tian gently patted her shoulder. Just tonight, Nicole lives a dark life in a gang. The moment Xia Tian opens the door, the light is so dazzling, filling every dark corner. Xia Tian opens more than just a dark room of detention. Maybe, It also opened a door to heaven for Nicole.

"Take all your documents and we'll leave now." Xia Tian didn't think it was a good choice to leave the woman in this sad place.

Nicole walked into the house and rummaged wildly in the cabinets, as if trying to get rid of the emotions in her mind through actions. Putting some documents into her pocket, she finally took out a metal pendant from her clothes and opened the round pendant. Inside was a small photo of her and her parents.

Xia Tian didn't want to continue, so she took two quick steps, hugged Nicole's body and walked out of this shabby apartment.

"Tonight is the beginning of your new life." Xia Tian took the pendant from the woman's hand. Nicole's face tightened and she looked at Xia Tian in horror. Those beautiful big eyes were full of pleading, which made Xia Tian feel slightly soft. .

"That's fine, let him watch you in heaven." Xia Tian returned the pendant to Nicole. As if the woman had found a treasure, she wiped it carefully and finally tied it around her neck.

Xia Tian drove away from Manhattan, and Nicole fell asleep deeply in the passenger seat. An hour later, Xia Tian finally returned to the area where the Margarita Bar was located, randomly found a magnificent hotel, and gently pushed Nicole is sleeping next to her.

Nicole opened her eyes, followed Xia Tian's direction, and knew that the two of them had arrived at the location.

"Let's go." Xia Tian took Nicole to the hotel. After arranging the room, Xia Tian sighed at the diversity of life. This magnificent, palace-like room is completely different from the slums just now.

Xia Tian put the bag containing money in the corner of the room and said: "Tomorrow you go look for a house and another one."

Shopping for all necessities. "

"I" Nicole always felt that Xia Tian's words were wrong, which gave her some strange ideas.

"I need a place to live. It can be shabby, but it must be clean. I need a place to stay, a place that can make me feel as warm and comfortable as possible. A place that makes me feel that my heart is supported." Xia Tian's next words , but it dispelled the weird thoughts in Nicole's mind.

Xia Tian really wants a fixed residence. Perhaps, it would be a very good choice to have a home where one can rely on. Breaking away from the control of Hydra is the first step, and trying to stop being a cold machine is the second step. Perhaps, waking up in a warm home every day instead of a cold and dark dormitory is also a good effort. direction.

Xia Tian has regarded this world as his "backyard". If there are no powerful people, then it is just in line with Xia Tian's wishes. In the summer, you can open a factory here, or dominate here, or you can settle down here and return to this world when you are exhausted physically and mentally, away from the intrusion of other worlds. These are all good choices. Xia Tian has ambitions, but everything depends on how he develops in this world.

"Of course, your most important task these two days is to buy two mobile phones to facilitate our contact." Xia Tian took out a stack of U.S. dollars from the huge black package and put it into his pocket, "I will come to you at noon the day after tomorrow. , have lunch with you. At that time, I hope to see a transformed Nicole."

Xia Tian walked toward the door, but Nicole's heart was trembling slightly. This place was full of light and warmth, but, having just been pulled out of the quagmire from the dark world, her eyes still closely followed Xia Tian's figure.

"I see dependence in your eyes, but you are a person who is trying not to be cowardly and work hard to change. Such a reaction is not good." Xia Tian said softly, putting one hand on the door handle.

Looking at Nicole's gloomy eyes and silent look, Xia Tian finally sighed: "Okay, don't let me down at noon tomorrow."

Xia Tian opened the door, and at the moment when it was about to close, through the crack in the door, he saw Nicole who was still standing there, not moving, and said in a deep voice: "If you really believe me without reservation, then please believe me too. yourself."

Xia Tian left in the end, driving the broken car that he snatched from the gangsters, and drove into the dark alley. He abandoned the car and walked on the street for a long time before stopping again. A taxi.

"Margaret's Home for Bad Children." Summer said, "A small bar."

"Dear customer, although I don't know where that is, it doesn't matter. Electronic technology will help us solve the problem." An Indian man who looked to be in his 40s spoke in a funny Indian style and looked at the electronic map on his mobile phone. After fiddling with it, he turned on the voice system and loudly said the name of the bar.

However, it seems that the voice system does not understand the uncle’s spoken language

In desperation, Xia Tian watched the uncle fail one after another, and finally found the exact location 5 minutes later.

"Haha, that's right." The uncle laughed. If there weren't customers behind him, he would probably dance a representative Indian dance.
