bodyguard [strong]

Chu Xun was invited to get into an unlicensed red flag car that night. The car did not go to Chang'an Street on the main road, did not go to the ministries and commissions or Zhongnanhai, but drove into an underground passage in a certain place.

The ground had just returned to calm, and the martial law troops were maintaining order on the street. He Cheng and his group completely bypassed the ground, and they had a secret route dedicated to the general staff and the military, which they didn't use at ordinary times.Sitting in the car, Chu Xun was shocked to see the car driving in the bright and flat tunnel. The front was dark and unfathomable. The walls and ceiling of the tunnel were all made of huge blue stones and granite.

Chu Xun never knew before that the underground city of Beijing turned out to be a huge labyrinth, with complete underground tunnels, air-raid shelters, and combat readiness facilities extending in all directions.The entire underground system operates in an orderly manner and is magnificent.At that time, only the Ring Road and Line 1 were opened as public transportation routes in the city. The old Line 1 ran from west to east, from Pingguoyuan to Sihui.In fact, more tunnels have already been built, with several radial lines extending from the inner city center to the suburbs, covering the most important routes out of the city.

In an emergency, these tunnels allow important leaders to sneak out of the eastern and western suburbs of Zhongnanhai within 10 minutes, and can also transport tens of thousands of troops directly from the suburban garrison into the city.

Through a tunnel leading to the western suburbs, Chu Xun's car drove directly into the Xishan Col.There are lush trees, picturesque scenery, and a villa hidden in the forest.

Chu Xun met the highest-ranking head of the country in the living room on the second floor of Xishan Villa.

It was really just like Uncle He described, the chiefs "lined up" waiting to see him!Every old guy looked at him with meaningful eyes, touched his head kindly, squeezed his shoulders, pulled him to sit on the couch, and chatted with each other.

Because of his family status, Chu Xiaoer has seen the world, and he has known several military commission chiefs from afar on various occasions.There are also two old guys who he only knows by name, and he only saw them in the first 5 minutes of the "News Network" before, but this time he saw them all at once.These people met secretly at the Xishan Villa that day to study the aftermath of martial law. After the meeting, they happened to invite Chu Xun to have a look together.

Chu Xun sat on the sofa, and in front of outsiders, he had the demeanor and demeanor of a soldier from a military family. His waist was straight, his legs were close together, and his hands were on his knees. He spoke and behaved neither humble nor overbearing. He answered clearly when asked.He thought about the sensitive period, and this kind of occasion should not embarrass his father. These people in front of him are all his father's boss, and his boss's boss...

The more high-ranking people are, the behaviors in private are very low-key, reserved and introverted, they hide their secrets, and they don't show their emotions or anger.Moreover, these people are all dressed in simple and ordinary clothes, gray and black Chinese tunic suits, black-framed reading glasses, and speak slowly, as if each sentence has been turned in the mind three times before it is uttered. The words are full of deep meaning, and the attitude is kind. Invisibly let Chu Xun put down a layer of guard.

The tallest head behind the Military Commission took an orange from the coffee table, peeled the orange with his own hands, and fed it to Chu Xun one by one.

The chief said: "Student Chu Xun, I heard that you love oranges. Today, we will pack as much as you want."

"In the future, whoever stops you and says you won't be allowed to eat the 'leader's orange', I'll help you talk about her!"

Chu Xun stuffed the oranges fed to him by the head chief, and habitually stroked the soft hair on the top of his head.The indescribably sweet and sour taste overflowed my mouth...

Throughout the night, a pot of fragrant tea and several plates of peanuts, melons, fruits and oranges are placed on the coffee table.A few big figures sit on the sofa, and the core senior executives of the General Staff sit sparsely around the periphery.Everyone stared at Chu Xun without blinking, watching the hidden energy in his body peel off and appear before everyone's eyes.

Chu Xun's eyes were covered with a thick layer of black flannel, which completely blocked his vision. The index finger and middle finger of his right hand quickly slid across the headlines of the newspaper, even at a speed similar to that of ordinary people reading newspapers with their eyes, reading every word clearly and quickly.Several people around wore reading glasses and stretched their necks in amazement to watch him "read the newspaper" carefully.That newspaper was a sample issue that was temporarily brought from the printing factory of "People's Daily" that night. It hadn't been published on the street yet, so it was absolutely impossible for Chu Xun to read the content beforehand.

Chu Xun finished reading a headline, paused for a moment, as if he still had something to say, his slender fingers slid across the photo on the front page.

He then stretched out his hand and pointed obliquely at an old guy opposite the sofa: "The person in the photo is you."

Chu Xun was still blindfolded, and his voice was calm.

The chief who he pointed at was so surprised that he sat up straight and stared at him with interest, his eyes glowed secretly, as if he had been pointed by a golden finger.

The head chief opened his mouth slightly, and subconsciously kept wrapping oranges in his hands, feeding them to Chu Xun, "If you want to eat, we still have some here."

Chu Xun stared intently through the transparent glass box, causing a small windmill to spin in the glass box.Everyone held their breath, and the quiet rustling sound echoed over the living room.

A hundred-yuan banknote was pressed under the glass plate of the coffee table. Chu Xun's fingers moved through the glass plate, like plucking the strings of a piano, and slowly crumpled and folded the mighty heads of Mao Zedong's leaders, creating water ripples.

Chu Xun did it one by one. At first, he was a little interested, but then he gradually realized that something was wrong.

He leaned on the sofa, pursed his lips slightly, and searched the faces of the adults: "I'm tired, can I stop?"

The head chief signaled the people below to pour tea and water for him, and nodded: "Student Chu Xun, thank you very much, you have worked hard."

Chu Xun whispered: "I want to go home."

The chief closed his eyes for a moment: "Don't worry, we will take you home in a few days."

Chu Xun said, "Can I leave now? Where's Uncle He?"

The chief deliberately teased him: "That guy He Cheng ran away, I'll send someone to catch him later."

Chu Xun rolled his beautiful eyelids, pouted to signal to the neighbor next door: "Uncle He has been sitting in the room next door, and he didn't run far, so catch him quickly."

Everyone is speechless...

A thick lime brick load-bearing wall is a wall in front of others, but in front of Chu Xun, it is basically a big glass, transparent and transparent.

The head chief sat down, took Chu Xun's hand, squeezed it, and said a few words meaningfully: "Student Chu Xun, you are a rare person for us to find. We have been looking for someone like you for a long time. The country is very important. We need you, we need you to stay... The international situation is not good, and foreign forces have tried their best to promote this turmoil, and they will not let it go, the war has begun, we are very passive, there is no way out, you are the person we want."

Chu Xun listened silently, and said for a while, "But someone is waiting for me, and he also needs me."

……

Once Chu Xun stepped into the Xishan Villa, he would never want to step out again.

This stay lasted for a full month, and He Cheng did not let him go.

He Cheng was an army agent, very smart and shrewd, he managed to coax Chu Xun into showing his true skills every day, and the two confronted each other.

Chu Xun said, I quit, I want to go home.

He Cheng said, you sort out this lump of wool and let you go home.

Chu Xun was blindfolded.One hundred and eight colorful yarns in the black cloth box were entangled into a tangle, and they were inextricably entangled. He picked them one by one, letting the red pick the red, and letting the blue pick the green.The fingerprints on his fingers are slightly convex and hot, and after repeated practice, they become more sensitive and finer without his own awareness...

In the end, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, fell on the sofa, was picked up horizontally by his Uncle He, and carried him back to the house to sleep.

The next day, Chu Xun yelled again, I quit, I must go home today!

He Cheng said again, you crushed this copper ball, I will send you home immediately.

Chu Xun kneaded a copper ball in front of him with both hands, his chest rose and fell, and his vision gradually blurred.He closed his eyes and tilted his neck back, imagining that what he held in his palm was the head of his second martial artist, round and moist.As he thought this way, his fingers became hot violently, uneven marks slowly appeared on the copper ball, and two clear big handprints were pinched out by his ten fingers... Fortunately, this is not the real head of Huo Chuanwu.

Just to go home, to be able to see Erwu, he fell down again, was drenched, and was carried back to the room.

The next day, Chu Xun couldn't help but change his face, and he stopped pretending to be polite, and said to Uncle He with a cold face, if you don't send me home, the second master will turn against you!

He Cheng said, you tap this piece of drawing paper with your fingers, and I will personally carry you back.

Chu Xun drew on the drawing paper with hot fingertips, unable to control his thoughts, he slowly sketched a human figure with facial features on the paper, thick black eyebrows, handsome face, the boy he missed... …

Chu Xun has his own separate bedroom with all kinds of clothes and daily necessities. He is served by special guards and nannies. Every day, the elder brother of the guard carries him, hugs him, and carries him on his shoulders to invite him to the laboratory in the basement of the villa. .When he was hungry, someone fed him, when he was bored, someone coaxed him, and went to the bathroom to pee, wishing that someone would untie his trousers and help him, the young master.

He orders what he eats for the three meals a day, and the cook cooks what he orders for him.

The three chefs in Xishan Villa cook for the chief, one cooks Huaiyang cuisine, one cooks authentic Shandong cuisine, and the other cooks old Beijing official cuisine and various snacks.The Shandong master once made a drawer of jujube buns, and filled the buns with bean paste and candied dates according to Chu Xun's sweet taste.Chu Xun ate one and thought it was delicious, so he quietly took a bag, packed the rest of the pastry, and kept it.

He Cheng discovered that Chu Xun had hidden dates: "If you want to eat more, let the master make it for you."

Chu Xun said: "I'll go home tomorrow and bring it to my friend. He likes to eat this most."

He Cheng saw it through at a glance, and asked bluntly, "You and the second child of the Huo family have a good relationship?"

Chu Xun lowered his eyes, and his eye sockets suddenly turned red...

He has a lot of things on his mind, entangled in his mind every day, while struggling to deal with these people, he is thinking, where is Erwu, how is Erwu, are you still waiting for me at the sand pile behind the vegetable station?Did Chuanwu's father and brother go back?Is mother sick and still crying all day?

Chu Xun took out the box of Ferrero from his schoolbag. He wanted to give Chuanwu chocolates to make him happy that day.

Chu Xun whispered, "The chocolate is almost melting."

"Uncle He, please do me a favor and bring him the chocolate for me."

He Cheng looked at Chu Xun deeply for a while, then took the things over: "Okay, I'll bring it to classmate Xiao Huo for you. Don't worry."

For some reason, Chu Xun trusted Uncle He Cheng very much.This middle-aged man, who was two years older than his father, spoke with a demeanor that had the magic power of calming emotions and stabilizing people's hearts.Every time Uncle He said "Don't worry", Chu Xun couldn't help but want to trust and rely on the other party.

Chu Xun quietly asked: "Is Huo Dada bad?"

He Cheng hesitated, how to answer this kind of question?Commander Huo violated the taboo of military law by disobeying orders at a critical moment, and the higher-ups would inevitably serve as an example to the regular army. The Huo family's political future is finally over...

The basement of Xishan Villa is a complete laboratory, controlled by the core minds of the Second Department of the General Staff, the Ninth Office of National Security, and the Human Science Research Institute of the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Commission at that time. arrive.

Chu Xun lay quietly on his back, the acupuncture points on his body were connected with electrode chips and wires, and the pointer of the instrument kept vibrating to monitor his brain wave change threshold, the electromagnetic flux around his body, and the fluctuation of the current and magnetic fields in the room.Every time Chu Xun let the ball of paper burn in the palm of his hand, snuffed out the filament in the ceiling chandelier, and let the steel pipe slowly soften and bend, a powerful force of will with deterrent force and expulsion force made all the people present feel Awe and shock, heart oppressive discomfort...

"The nine- and ten-year-olds we experimented with developed similar potentials, but this boy was more capable than all the other children."

"He was born with these functions. We checked, and the Chu family's parents and grandparents are all normal people."

"His brain waves and willpower can be condensed into a kind of 'psychic power'...or interpreted as a kind of 'thinking ray', which is similar to the 'functional man' of the "Stargate Project" mentioned in the intelligence."

"It's a pity that his perspective is not accurate enough. He has to practice again. There were only four people standing next to him just now, but this kid must have said five, and he is very stubborn. There is a coat hanger in the corner of the wall. He is blinded by it."

"We should be thankful that we were able to find him. Moreover, his father is one of us, a soldier..."

……

Chu Xun slowly opened his eyes, focused on a point on the ceiling, and his sight slowly penetrated the roof, seeing through the pure crystal-like sky.

He felt something in his heart and understood many things.After a month of repeated experiments and training, he himself was secretly amazed at his own ability.He began to secretly explore how to control his thoughts, release brain energy consciously and purposefully, and concentrate his mind to sense and figure out certain things around him.

One day later, the head chief had another talk with him, face to face in the study, with He Cheng as his companion.

In fact, the military and the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee have been conducting scientific research on the human body. However, there are differences among the top management. Many people do not believe or agree. Basket of waste paper.However, intelligence came from the other side of the ocean. The enemy of the country and our opponents have already launched a top-secret "Star Gate Project". People with the functions of spiritual power and mind power are used for military purposes. To the era of human body science and technology "deciding to win thousands of miles away"...

There is a small red national flag on the table in the small study room of the Xishan Villa, and there are eight big characters in running script on the wall, "Skillful and expert, absolutely loyal", written vigorously and majesticly.

Chu Xun knew that his fate was no longer in his hands from then on.

The chief said: "Student Chu Xun, what do you want, what request do you want to ask us, just ask."

Chu Xun raised his eyelids and carefully explored: "I can ask for anything?"

The chief nodded: "Anything can be mentioned, we will try our best to satisfy."

Chu Xun took a deep breath and summoned up his courage, his eyes suddenly fogged up because he was too excited: "Grandpa, can I ask you to let Huo Dada and his brother Dajun go?"

The chief was surprised, calmly: "Which Huo Dada?"

Chu Xun said: "That's Master Huo growing up."

Chu Xun's words really stunned the chief and fell silent.This is not a matter of answering or not, but no one would have thought that classmate Chu would dare to take the opportunity to make unreasonable demands at such a sensitive moment.

The chief coaxed the child to "please ask if you have any requirements". He originally thought that the boy was still at an age of ignorance, and asked to eat three purple ice creams a day, to save all Transformers toys, or to ask Xiao Shengchu to go directly to the best key middle school in the city. Even the military rank at home, the treatment of high-ranking cadres... Who would have thought that Chu Xun would ask for the release of Master Huo?

Chu Xun has been thinking about this matter for a long time. For a month, this group of people has been thinking about developing the magnetic field ability in his body every day. He has been thinking all day whether the Huo family can survive the catastrophe safely, and whether he and Erwu can go back to the past. Such a peaceful life.He is smart, he is quick-witted, he knows how to read words and expressions to figure out the thoughts of adults, and even subconsciously puts himself on the bargaining chip position of the negotiation balance, and he himself is the pawn in exchange.

It's just that he doesn't have such a deep city, and he doesn't know how to keep a low profile and hide his scheming. He has held back his words, and regardless of the hardships and dangers of the world and the uncertain future, he can't wait to finally speak out.

He Cheng couldn't help coughing lowly, and winked at Student Chu.

The head chief was expressionless, and he didn't show any anger or disgust. It was unnecessary, but he just asked slowly: "Xiao Xun, do your family have a deep friendship with Huo Yunshan's family?"

Chu Xun changed his mind and didn't answer directly. He just said: "Huo Dada is a good man. He saved my life. He treats me very well."

The chief narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked: "The Huo family asked you to intervene?"

Chu Xun: "No."

Chief: "What did your father teach you?"

He Cheng's palms were sweating, he was afraid that if the child said something wrong, you kid would ruin your family again!

Chu Xun shook his head quickly, and bit his lower lip: "No, my dad didn't teach me to say this. My grandfather and my dad only taught me to be an upright person, and to repay the favor you receive."

Chu Xun didn't expect that the big man closed his eyes and nodded after hearing his words, instead of slapping the table to get angry, "This kid is loyal and courageous, but..."

"However, the state has state laws, and the military has military regulations. When the country is in crisis, heavy codes are used. If something goes wrong, we must be held accountable. We can't ignore the interests of the entire national army because of you alone, understand?"

Reputable people spoke in a reserved and ambiguous way, and Chu Xun understood a "but" in his heart.

Chu Xun slowly shed tears, bit his lip and remained silent.

There was silence in the room, the two elders looked at him and wept.

He Cheng quietly handed over a folder, and the Chief Chief opened the folder and lowered his eyes, and inside was the portrait that Chu Xun burned and drew with his fingertips.The person in the painting is so lifelike that anyone who has seen it can recognize at a glance which boy it is.

The old man raised his head in amazement, stared at Chu Xun, and suddenly realized that he was not so surprised when he was asked by classmate Chu just now.

……

"Student Chu Xun, we understand your request and we will consider it. Don't worry."

The head chief made a solemn promise to Chu Xun, with a calm and majestic expression.

Chu Xun spread out a piece of white paper on the table, used his finger to write it, and burned four large characters on the paper with his finger force as if making an oath, "absolute loyalty". The words were deeply imprinted in his mind and melted into his memory. Blood.

Chu Xun is a son of the army and the son of a soldier. He has been taught by his parents and grandparents since he was a child. In his bones at a young age, there is a belief in national honor, a yearning for the blood and ambition of soldiers, and admiration for heroism.He just never imagined that he would be "forced" down this path in such a procedural way.Different routes lead to the same goal, as if destined, it is indeed fate.

At that time, only the three present knew about this conversation, and no outsiders knew about it.Chu Huaizhi never imagined that his son would be so bold and reckless that he put a knife on the necks of Lao Tzu's family to "offend the next crime"; the Huo family would never have imagined that Chu Xiaoer was so righteous back then, and once pleaded for his life in front of the big boss , handed over his property, and begged the higher-ups to let the Huo family survive.

[Note] The phrase "capable and professional, absolutely loyal" comes from Liu Meng's "Ice is Sleeping Water".
