Nuannuan takes you to fly

The room was very quiet, and after saying sorry, Howard didn't say anything else, and Xia Tian sat there without saying a word, so he could only accompany her silently.

After sitting like this for a while, the girl suddenly got up and walked out, her expression still a little anxious.

"Xia! You..."

"Howard." Xia Tian stopped suddenly

"The next sentence I say, you must firmly remember it."

She held the cat in her hand and looked at the man in front of her with a serious expression

"In the future, no matter what car you want to take, you must remember to check the brake system on the spot."

Howard:? ? ?

He was a little confused, but the girl didn't give him time to react, and turned around again and left the barracks.

On the way back in the car, Xia Tian was always anxious. About 10 minutes later, she finally arrived at the familiar apartment. The sunflowers planted at the door were all in a state of dismay, and Xia Tian didn't care about it. They hurried over and knocked on the door.

"Erskine! I'll..."

The gem under the tracer completely lost its brilliance, the doorway was quiet again, the street was still full of traffic, and the disappearance of a girl did not attract anyone's attention.

……

Erskine hasn't seen his granddaughter for a long time since following Steve's footsteps to the military camp in the summer. Fortunately, this girl is still very conscientious and sends him letters every week.

"Erskin..."

Suddenly, he seemed to hear a familiar call.

This little girl in my family is mischievous and mischievous. She didn't like to call him grandpa since she was a child. She was always called by the old man and the old man, and she often called her by her name directly.

Erskine put down the things in his hands in some surprises, and then slowly walked to the gate. He took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and felt that he was so funny, so he couldn't help shaking his head , and then reached out and opened the door.

"Girl, you finally..."

The old man's words stopped abruptly.

The door of the apartment was empty, as if the call he had just heard was just an illusion.

"Strange... Could it be that I heard wrong?"

Erskine sighed, and closed the door again.

"Women can't stay in college, I haven't come back to see grandpa for so long..."

……

It all ended so suddenly.

Steve and Bucky are gone forever, and Xia Tian mysteriously disappeared soon after. Howard did not believe that they were dead, and has been trying to find the whereabouts of Steve and Bucky. , also mobilized a lot of people to search for Xia Tian, ​​but found nothing, and finally, Erskine personally came forward to stop him.

The old man was very calm, although he still looked a little sad.

"That child... I believe she must be living well somewhere we don't know."

"Since she doesn't want to show up, let's forget it."

Erskine knew very well that nothing happened in Xia Tian, ​​she just left and went to a place that they could never find and never reach.

Hydera's side was severely injured, and it almost became a mess. The life and death of Steve and the two were uncertain. After searching for a period of time with no results, the military gave up directly.

In the end, only Howard was still persistently looking for their whereabouts.

Although the president also regretted the fall of Captain America, he still did not give up the plan to restart the super soldier, and the disappearance of Steve also gave him a better reason to persuade Erskine, Erskine realized this early on. point, so when everyone didn't pay attention, he left the United States quickly.

When he left, he was accompanied by only a simple suitcase and a sunflower that was about to wither.

In order to help his friend in the end and to avoid additional troubles, Philip and others consciously cut off contact with Erskine. The president was furious and sent many people to find Erskine's whereabouts around the world, but none of them no result.

Three years later, in a small border town in China.

The old man carried a small kettle and poured some water on the sunflowers planted by the door.The little fat cat curled up beside him obediently, Erskine smiled, and then gently stroked its head.

"Grandpa Xia, are you here to water the flowers again?"

A young girl passing by greeted him with a smile.

Erskine: "Yeah."

The girl glanced at the little fat cat at his feet

"Big meow, good morning."

The cat meowed in cooperation.

After the girl left, Erskine also slowly returned indoors. If Xia Tian was here, he would be surprised to find that all the decorations in the room were almost the same as the apartment they lived in in the United States.

The orientation of the sofa, the position of the dining table, and even the trinkets placed in the corner are all the same as before.

Except for the girl who has been gone for a long time.

Erskine poured a glass of water from the teapot, and sighed.

Over the years, he has traveled to many places alone. At the beginning, because he had to avoid the pursuit of the Americans, he couldn't stay in the same place for too long. Thousands of seas, vast grasslands, lush forests, bustling streets...

These are all extremely precious memories reflected in his mind.

In the end, he chose to stay in China, where that girl really belonged.It was also from that time that he raised a little fat cat named Big Meow, although apart from the name, this cat had no similarities with the one Xia Tian had raised.

No one here knows him, and many people are curious because of his distinctive appearance. The door of the house is full of flowers, except for the sunflowers that are the favorite in summer, there are also tulips, lilies, lilacs and wisterias.

In this way, watering every day, reading books, and raising cats, life is relaxed and comfortable.

In the morning, the passing residents will greet him with a smile, and he will respond to them with a smile. The research materials are properly stored in cardboard boxes, and the equipment in the laboratory will be cleaned regularly, but he hardly uses them again. Pass.

The current life is relaxed and comfortable, and Erskine is usually happy to communicate with people around him in Chinese. Only at certain times, very few times, he will think of the man who grew up beside him. girl.

After the renovation of the apartment was completed, Erskine set aside a special room, and then decorated the room as it used to be in the summer. There was a group photo on the bedside table, the gray-haired old man hugged the girl with the fat cat in his arms , both of them laughed very happily.

"Erskine, she's gone, and she won't be coming back."

In this case, he has said to himself many times, although the effect does not seem to be great.

After another year in China, Erskine suddenly received a package from the United States.

[I bought the apartment you used to live in in the United States. Since about four years ago, letters have been mailed there every month. Later, I went to the post office to ask, and they said that these letters were sent by a girl. It was the girl herself who asked to send these letters to the same address at different times.

I don't know the total number of letters, but I will send you all without missing one.

Don't worry, although I have found your whereabouts not long ago, the government still has no clue. For your safety, I decided to send it every six months, so I suggest that you can read all the letters in these four years slowly. .

— Howard Stark]

Erskine was silent for a while, and then carefully opened the package...

……

In the 10th year of his stay in China, Da Miao passed away.

At the last moment of leaving, its cloudy eyeballs were full of reluctance.

"It's okay, big cat." Erskine gently stroked its little head

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

The cat whimpered weakly, then slowly closed its eyes.

It is said that cats are very proud animals. They can predict their own death, and before that, they will leave the house alone and find a secluded corner to wait for death quietly, but the big cat did not do this, maybe because It understands that it is Erskine's last relative.

In many cases, animals are more grateful than humans.

After returning to the apartment, Erskine sat on the sofa for a long time, then got up and went to the study, and opened the whole box of letters.

From 12 years ago to the present, 140 four months, 140 four letters, Howard was surprised by the number of these letters.

"Big Meow is gone too..."

He cherished the letter in the box

"I'm left with you..."

There is sadness in Erskine's tone, but it is more of a relief. People will always leave and die, but these do not mean the end, because memory is eternal.

Girl, thank you very much, I have no regrets in my life...

……

When Xia Tian regained consciousness again, there was a familiar decoration in front of her. She looked around, and there were fragments of glass on the ground.

Xia Tian: "I'm back?"

Big Meow: "Yes."

Xia Tian: "Fuck! Can't you let me see Erskine again?"

Big Meow: "Time backtracking has reached the last moment, and I can't help it."

"Woooo." Xia Tian covered his face with his hands.

"Erskine must have been devastated."

"Don't pretend to cry." Da Miao exposed her without hesitation.

Xia Tian: "I didn't! I'm really sad now!"

Big Meow: "Oh"

summer:"……"

This cold and heartless big fat cat!

The girl was silent for a while, then bent down resignedly to her fate and began to collect the debris.

"Don't be sad."

Big Meow stretched out his paw and poked her

"Aren't there still those letters?"

Xia Tian sighed

"I don't know if those letters are enough, I only wrote more than 200 letters..."

Big Meow: "Should be enough..."

After tidying up the kitchen, Xia Tian went to the room to change her clothes. It is now after two o'clock in the afternoon, and only seven hours have passed since she left.

However, these seven hours covered a full 70 years.

"I don't know what's going on with them now..." the girl murmured silently.

"Peggy is still alive, but Howard is dead," Big Meow said flatly

summer:"……"

Big Meow: "I told you before, that prompt is useless at all, Hydra wants to kill people, and the only way to destroy the brake system is not the only way."

"So... he still died at the hands of those people, right?"

Xia Tian asked with a cold tone

Big Meow: "...That's right."

Xia Tian smiled suddenly, "It's okay..."

It doesn't matter, she will definitely make those people pay in blood.

"Xiamen, shouldn't it be time for you to get down to business?"

After resting for a while, Da Miao suddenly said:

"Ah! I almost forgot!" The girl hurriedly got off the bed

"Let's get started."

Big Meow: "Yes."

The sun was shining brightly outside, but a weird atmosphere gradually filled the room. The curtains began to move without wind. The girl in a black retro long dress stood there quietly, and there was a little doll in Qing dynasty costumes at her feet.

The curse doll staggered forward, and about three seconds later, a coffin suddenly appeared at the place where it was standing.

Afterwards, the volume of the coffin began to grow bigger and bigger. Xia Tian walked over, stroked the exquisite pattern around the coffin, and then stretched out his hand to push it away——

The man in military uniform lay inside with his eyes closed, and Xia Tian looked at him quietly until the man slowly opened his eyes.

The girl smiled with a tender look on her face

"Welcome home, Bucky."
