[Crossing] Beacon Fire Dragon Line

The "Iron Fist" was originally a German weapon. It may have been aided to Italy during the German-Italian alliance, or it may have been captured by the guerrillas.This thing can penetrate the frontal armor of a tank and be used to hit a small barrel car, blasting it to slag in minutes.

In front of the bazooka, the long windbreaker lost all arrogance, and lay down on the seat with his head in his arms for concealment.The barrel of the gun that was originally on Sheng Rui's head was moved away because of this move.Taking advantage of this fleeting moment, 08 kicked open the left car door, stretched out his right arm, and wrapped it around Sheng Rui's waist.Before Sheng Rui could react, he felt his body suddenly suspended in the air——08 jumped out with him in his arms.

Behind them, the barrel cart was hit by the howling conical warhead, turned into a ball of dazzling flames amidst the huge explosion of explosives, and rushed down the other side of the hillside.

The place where they jumped was directly above the Velino River, and the two fell straight into the river.The rushing torrent swallowed Sheng Rui in an instant. Because he was not prepared, he choked on a few sips of water and couldn't keep his balance.The eardrums were rumbling and muffled by the pressure, and there was also a strange roar that seemed to come from the ground.Before he had time to think about what it was, the earth-shaking weightlessness and dizziness surrounded him, and the huge shock captured all his senses in an instant.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself floating on the surface and breathing freely.As far as he could see, there were green water waves, and someone was swimming under him, carrying him like a dolphin.Looking back, I saw a white waterfall hanging in the middle of the green cliff.Now he was sure what had just happened: the Velino River had washed them down the Mamore Falls and into the Nora Valley.It was hard for him to believe that he fell from a height of more than 100 meters.If the waterfall hadn't been divided into three sections with a buffer in the middle, I'm afraid he wouldn't have just fainted from the fall, but died directly from the fall.

He looked at the diving figure in the water, and couldn't help wondering: Why does this guy seem to be fine at all?When he fell down the waterfall, he vaguely remembered that this guy was under him, and he should have fallen harder.

When approaching the shore, 08 popped his head out of the water and switched to paddling with one hand.After swimming such a long distance, he was only slightly out of breath.

"How are you?" He glanced back.

"Uh...it's okay." Sheng Rui rubbed his throat.Because of choking on the water, the respiratory tract still hurts, but it's not a serious problem.

After going ashore, they found a flat and hidden place. The two of them took off their clothes and wrung them vigorously, and hung them on the branches to dry.

Sheng Rui hugged his legs, sat on the ground to rest, and secretly glanced at the person next to him.The muscular arms, strong waist and beautiful buttocks form a subtle arc, no matter which angle you look at, it looks like a sculpture.Such a body shape with almost no fat content can only be maintained through years of hard training.He secretly squeezed his biceps, feeling frustrated.

"What do we do now?" he asked.He didn't want to go back, what happened just now made him feel lingering fear, like a criminal wanting to escape from the scene of the crime as soon as possible.

08 seemed to see his thoughts, thought for a while, and asked, "Can you walk? It's about 20 kilometers from here to Spoleto. If you walk fast, you can get there in a few hours."

Sheng Rui knew that with the current situation, "a few hours" is a very optimistic estimate.But since 08 said so, it doesn't matter.He nodded: "Okay, let's go there. By the way, when we were found hiding in the grass, what did you do to attract their attention?" He was curious about the "clang".

"I threw a wheel over there, and it was the one I replaced."

"..." Sheng Rui despaired of his biceps.Although the wheel is not particularly heavy, it is still a steel hub structure, and not everyone can casually use it as a frisbee.

In fact, he has been wanting to complain since just now.Leaving aside the reaction speed of 08 when he jumped off the car, let’s just say that in the water just now, this guy dived far more than 100 meters in one breath, and because he was carrying a person on his back, he had to maintain a fixed level all the time.This kind of physical fitness and endurance is difficult even for special forces such as the SEALs and Green Berets of later generations.If it weren't for Sheng Rui's scruples, the young deserter from before might not be able to threaten him at all.

I read few books, don't lie to me.Is this guy really just a support soldier? ?

There are more mysteries about this person than he imagined.

The sun shone through the gaps between the branches, and something flickered on 08's chest.It was a strange-looking black pendant, very similar to a Latin cross, with fine lines of metallic luster faintly on it.

"Are you a Christian? That..." Sheng Rui gestured at the corresponding position on his chest.

"Oh, you said this." 08 touched the pendant, "This is not a cross, it just happens to look alike."

He didn't intend to explain further, so Sheng Rui stopped talking.This is their tacit understanding all the time.

The clothes were almost dry, 08 helped Sheng Rui take them off, turned around and handed them over.His movements froze suddenly, and his eyes fixed on a certain part below Sheng Rui's neck.

Sheng Rui was suddenly embarrassed.He knew what 08 was looking at.After crossing, his original clothes had been disposed of long ago, except for one thing that remained: underwear.Only this, he really didn't want to wear what others wore.

His panties are Versace.This brand will not be available until [-], so don't worry about being recognized by people of this era.Besides, this kind of thing would not be seen by people under normal circumstances, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

How could he have imagined that he encountered an unusual situation so quickly.

Versace has always been famous for its sexy design, which is tight and convex.However, 08 is obviously not interested in bumps, and the point of his sight is the eye-catching golden Medusa logo in the middle of the waistline.

Sheng Rui clearly saw a trace of unconcealable astonishment slipping through his eyes.

For a moment, Sheng Rui felt that he seemed to want to say something.Suddenly, a few moaning sounds came from far away, which cut off his words.

Sheng Rui looked in the direction of the sound in horror, fearing that the guerrillas were searching the mountain, or that the two Gestapo had returned.He is already frightened now, and he can't stand any more stimulation.The two quickly put on their clothes and sneaked into the dense forest.

Umbria is one of the most picturesque regions in Italy, with its many waters.On the green land surrounded by willows, the converging streams flow through the wild flowers, the eyes are green and clear, the grass is like glass, and the water is like cold crystals.In such a fairyland-like place, it would not be surprising even if a snow-white unicorn appeared by the lake.

08 seems to like such a secluded water view.He can stare at the lake and stream for a long time, with a serious and gentle look in his eyes, as if trying to imprint everything in front of him in his mind.

Sheng Rui guessed that he may have grown up in a relatively closed and monotonous environment, and rarely had the opportunity to travel, so he was as novel as a child who had just traveled far.

Under that expressionless face, is there a little soul that is jumping for joy?

Sheng Rui couldn't help laughing at his own thought.Just yesterday, he still felt that he was a cold machine that should only have a number.

Well, find a suitable opportunity and ask his name.You can't keep calling 0808 like this.

Unknowingly, I walked into the twilight, the city still couldn't see the shadow, and I was going to sleep in the wild again tonight.

I thought I could only go hungry at night, but 08 took out a small tarpaulin bag from the inner pocket of his uniform and took out the dry food inside.He has always been used to separating important things, so as not to lose them all at once.

Naturally, there were no tents tonight, so 08 made a bed out of local materials before dark.He found a flat ground leeward of the wind, picked up four relatively thick Y-shaped branches and inserted them into the soil, protruding about [-] centimeters from the ground. These are the four feet of the bed.Then use rattan to fix a few strong long branches into a raft, set it on the four feet, spread a layer of fallen leaves on it, and then spread a thick layer of dead grass and dry moss to make it as comfortable as possible.

The night is getting darker, and a thin crescent moon hangs obliquely on the horizon, illuminating the spring forest.The crumbling night dew is condensed on the grass blades, like drops of thoughts that are about to be said.

08 Wash your face with water by the stream.Lin Liu Zhaoying's figure is like an independent narcissus.

Sheng Rui watched from a distance.

The teacher who taught him painting once told him that honing one's skills can make one a painter, but not a painter.A painter is a person with certain demands. "If one day, you see a beauty, and you are the only one who can record it, you will understand. It is similar to a sense of responsibility."

Beautiful things are a load.You've seen it, and you've had to take it up on your own, with clumsy efforts to bring it back into the world and to make it known.Like it or not, it's up to you.

He had a vague feeling that from now on, he might be unable to control himself.

The branch bed was not big, and two people squeezed together, using their uniform jackets as quilts.

Although very tired, Sheng Rui couldn't fall asleep for a long time.There is a bold guess disturbing his heart: Could this guy also be a time traveler?

Since this kind of thing can happen to Sheng Rui, it is not impossible that other people have experienced the same experience.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he reacted so surprised to see Versace—unless he knew it.

Once this guess is made, it cannot be forgotten.He has to prove it.

Sheng Rui turned over and pushed 08: "Asleep?"

The other party moved under his palm, indicating that he was still awake.

"Come talk with me. There is a song I like very much called "Moon River", have you heard it?" Sheng Rui whistled the melody of the first few bars.

The song is from 08 and is made famous by Audrey Hepburn's movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.If [-] is really a time traveler, then he probably knows it too.Even if he didn't know, Sheng Rui had nothing to lose anyway.

08 did not answer right away.The air was quiet, save for the sound of the breeze swaying the blades of grass in the moonlight.

After a while he asked:

"What year did you come from?"

A short sentence is nothing less than a blockbuster.

Sheng Rui suddenly sat up: "You are also wearing..."

The word "Yue" rolled on the tip of the tongue and was swallowed back.He was afraid that he would make a mistake rashly and be regarded as a lunatic.

"Traveling?" 08 finished the sentence for him, "You can put it that way. However, we usually say 'jumping'."

This time, there was no longer any doubt.

"Who are you talking about 'we'? Do you know something?" There were so many questions in an instant, I just didn't know where to start.

To Sheng Rui's surprise, 08 was a little surprised by his reaction: "You don't know why you came here?"

"Should I know?" Sheng Rui was inexplicable, "I was walking well, and suddenly I walked to the front of liberation, who should I ask to explain to me?——Aren't you like this?"

"No. I jumped here by myself. But there was an accident, so I can't go back now." He thought for a while, "This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment. I will tell you later."

……after?

Sheng Rui was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly.

"You can't be perfunctory. You are always so secretive, and you don't want to say anything. I don't even know your name." He really doubted whether this guy was really I don't plan to have any "future" with him.

"Qi Han."

"what?"

"My name." Dark green pupils stared at Sheng Rui quietly, "Qi from Qilian Mountain, cold cold."

☆、Future Chapter: The Flower of the Knight

Chapters 10, 12 and 14 are interspersed content, talking about the origin of Qi Han^_^

Part of the background information in this chapter is fabricated by the author. I originally wanted to mark that part, but I was afraid that it would make everyone rush to play, so I didn't mark it.If you use these background information as historical materials, please be sure to distinguish them, so as not to be misled by the author's fictional parts~~~>w<〖The only reason why people want to dominate the future is to change the past. ——Milan Kundera〗【AD 21×× Year】

Look at the watch, 17:55.Xue Yuan let out a long breath, and walked into the meeting room as if making up his mind.

The first thing that comes into sight is the golden Latin inscription on the wall:

FidesServandaEst (keep faithful)

Qi Han is sitting at the bottom right of this inscription.

Hearing Xue Yuan's footsteps, he just raised his eyes, and then calmly looked away.On the right shoulder patch of his black uniform, the "X" logo formed by crossed swords glows coldly.

Xue Yuan lowered his head and pretended to read the information, but the black body and the ray of light still subtly stimulated his nerves.

Five minutes later, the matchmaking meeting for the jump project called "Rituals and Music Are East" started on time.

In the 22nd century, the age of cyberspace opened, and human beings realized interstellar Internet technology and parallel space-time transition technology.

The former can carry out data backup of human civilization, while the latter breaks the restriction of "cannot travel backward through time" in a disguised form-although human beings cannot return to the history of their own time and space, they can return to the history of branched time and space under the same node.

But the Second World War is an insurmountable node, and it can only go back to [-] at the earliest.

Under this general situation, the upsurge of "rebuilding lost civilizations" has been set off.A large number of jumpers were sent to World War II to rescue cultural relics destroyed in the war.They can't bring back those things themselves, only convert them into data and bring them back through 4D printing for reconstruction.

These ants-like data porters are slowly restoring the deleted data and lost civilizations in history on the new server named "Future".

China's first parallel time and space leap was back to Xi'an during the Anti-Japanese War, and a mysterious manuscript was retrieved.It is said that this is the long-lost "Le" in the Six Classics.

Now comes the problem: no one can prove that this is indeed the real "Le", not a fake work of later generations.

At this time, a new discovery was made in the archaeological community: an astonishing information was disclosed in a private collection of materials in the early [-]th century in Europe.

According to this information, before Qin Shihuang burned books and robbed Confucian scholars, a doctoral officer risked his life to "smuggle banned books and five carts" and hid them in Eryou Mountain. It was not reappeared until the Han Dynasty.However, due to some unknown reasons, "Le" was annihilated before it was widely spread.

However, those who lose one often gain the other.The Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty not only brought silk to the ancient Roman Empire, but also brought Chinese civilization, including a batch of manuscripts from the Eryoushan Collection.But because no one in Europe could decipher them at that time, those manuscripts were only collected by nobles as curiosities.

Until the [-]th century, the Rococo movement triggered the trend of "imitating China". An Italian missionary who was well versed in Sinology accidentally discovered these manuscripts among the piles of old papers.

Unfortunately, the original copy was lost, and only this precious translation is preserved in the Perugia Cathedral Museum, where it disappeared during World War II.Judging from the existing catalog, this book has six parts: "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn", and the six classics are complete.

If you compare this Latin translation with the hatchback of the Chinese manuscript, you can confirm the authenticity of the two to a large extent.But to get it, a jumper must be sent to WWII Europe.

This is the origin of the project "Liyue Jiedong".

After rigorous selection, there were only two candidates left: Qi Han and Xue Yuan.These two are equally outstanding, and they shine brightly for a while.There is only one point where Qi Han has a slight advantage over Xue Yuan: he is of German descent.If it was in Europe in the early period of World War II, he would be more convenient than Xue Yuan, who is of Russian descent.

Who is finally determined, this meeting will see the outcome.

The host's voice floated intermittently into Xue Yuan's absent-minded ears: "...Although I have said it many times, I still want to reiterate why we did this...Many of you here are of mixed race, but why do you agree with yourself? Are they Chinese?... In the future space age, what defines a nation is not blood and territory, but cultural identity..."

Xue Yuan pretended to be taking notes, but at the same time peeked at the other side.Qi Han remained as expressionless as ever, making one wonder if his heart also had no feeling and would not be touched by anything.

This isn't the first time they've been in a competitive position.After being a classmate and colleague for so many years, all kinds of competitions have never stopped, as if I was born to be an opponent.

Sometimes, the so-called conquering the world actually refers to conquering certain people.For Xue Yuan, that person was Qi Han.It is hard to tell when it started, but there was an extremely earnest desire quietly buried in his heart-to suppress him, tame him, and make him tremble in front of him.

Therefore, he particularly likes to read the history of the last year of World War II: Soviet Russia ravaged Germany and went straight to Berlin.One word, cool.Two words, very cool.Three words, oh alive.

The result of this competition is still evenly divided.Qi Han is the jumper, and Xue Yuan is the project commander.

As soon as the meeting ended, Qi Han was called away by the technical minister.

Hey, business is very busy.Xue Yuan twisted the corners of his lips mockingly.

Looking out of the window, it was already sunset, and he strolled towards the restaurant with his hands in his pockets, thinking about who to make an appointment with after the evening's work was over.

"Ivan!" A woman suddenly appeared in front of him, "Your uniform!"

"Oh, Caifan, you are the best, don't be so serious." Xue Yuan smiled and put his hands behind his back, hiding the jacquard sleeves and sapphire buttons.He always matched a lot of private goods under his coat, and dressed a snow-white officer's uniform like a flower.In addition, a pair of fox eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling are looking forward to expressing love, which is worthy of the nickname of "Arctic Fox".The corners of his lips were slightly curved, and his eyes only moved, and countless people fell down in front of his shiny riding boots.

The only person who doesn't follow his style is Chi Caifan, the personnel officer, who sees and arrests his private goods again and again, which makes him suffer a lot for reporting criticisms, large and small.

"Who's smiling at you! You have to fasten the discipline buttons." Chi Caifan pointed at his open shirt collar, "This is an office area, not a catwalk, so you don't need to show your pectoralis major."

Xue Yuan hurriedly buttoned it up, and said, "Now I am qualified to be hung on the wall, right?"

This sentence is teasing Qi Han.Now that the temperature around the world has been so hot for many years, his discipline button is always on the top end.Everyone secretly laughed and said that if he was flattened and hung on the wall, it would be a standard photo of an officer in uniform.

Chi Caifan obviously didn't like this kind of ridicule, and said with a straight face: "If you make fun of him again, I will remember you as absent from work for a month."

"Don't, don't! Miss, I know I was wrong." He flipped his palm, and a pink rose appeared out of nowhere on his fingertips: "This is for you, as an apology."

"Thanks. You don't need to bribe me, just don't keep getting in trouble with him."

Xue Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I didn't mean to do this thing, it's really the five elements that restrain each other. You see, my character for 'Yuan' is Tubian, and the variant character for 'Chan' is Sandianshuibian. Tu restrains water, so I have a natural problem with him. Also, your character for '蘩' is grass, which can be regarded as 'wood'..." He suddenly remembered something and stopped talking.In front of Chi Caifan, it is better not to mention "wood" casually.

Chi Caifan was about to refute, but after hearing the last sentence, she suddenly fell silent.

Xue Yuan suddenly raised his finger and pointed behind her: "Hey, isn't that your 'Flower of the Knight'? It just passed by from the opposite side."

She looked back hurriedly, but didn't see anyone.

Xue Yuan slightly narrowed his light blue fox eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I heard that it was your father who called him. Do you know what's going on?" "My father?" Chi Caifan shook her head in doubt.Her father, Chi Xin, is the Minister of Technology and also the boss of both Xue Yuan and Qi Han.

"Oh. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Turning around, a sneer crossed his lips calmly.

The setting sun sank like an overstuffed orange balloon panting in hot steam on the horizon.The last ray of light shone on the back of Xue Yuan's hand through the heat-insulating glass, and it was still terribly hot.

He actually has no interest in the "Rites and Music" project, and the only reason for participating in the competition is Qi Han.In the bottom of his heart, he felt that the plan was futile.With the current state of the sun, the earth may not exist before the next millennium.What an "all things that are lost will be found", joke.

Xue Yuan shrugged lazily, and read a line of Yesenin's poem: "Чтопрошлоневернутьникогда. (Those lost will never return)"

The tip of the pen rustled across the paper, leaving blue ink marks.Over and over again, write the same content.

"The spring is late, and Qi Qi is picked. The girl's heart is sad, and she will return with the son."

This is the origin of Chi Caifan's name.

In spring, the sun is shining brightly, and there are groups of women picking Artemisia annua.I suddenly feel sad because I want to marry you.

(Note: There are many explanations for these two lines of poems, and here is the saying that "a spring girl feels yang and misses a man, and when she is sad, she begins to have the ambition to return home with the son, and wants to marry Yan" ^_^)

She grew up hating her own name.During the exam, by the time she wrote her name, others had finished answering two multiple-choice questions.

Until she secretly fell in love with Qi Han.Whenever she misses him, she repeatedly copies these two poems on paper.Her name and his surname are closely connected, as if it has a meaning of fate.

In order to get close to him, she often tries to arrange their time on duty together, treating it as their date.He always considerately helped her deal with everything, but seldom talked with her.

She repeatedly said: Tell me about your business.

And he always said: nothing special.

In fact, she knows his resume better than anyone else.Born in Berlin, the second generation of Chinese-German mixed blood, the only relative of his grandfather died when he was ten years old, and has served as a technical officer after graduating from the military academy.The resume is as dry as the epitaph, monotonous and plain, and there is really nothing to say.

She didn't know what to do to make him understand that she didn't want to hear such a wonderful story.What she wanted was his gaze and his words, and she was willing to use the longest listening session to make up for the time she was absent in his life.

But he doesn't understand, he never understands.So he always said, nothing special.With such a simple sentence, all her temptations were shut out.

"...The girl's heart is sad, and she will return with the son." After writing the last time, Chi Caifan carefully put the paper full of handwriting into a thick folder, as if she had completed an extremely important project .When she first fell in love with him, she set a goal for herself: if she still likes him by the time she finishes writing a thousand pages, she will confess to him.

Now, that number has been reached.

She threw herself on the bed and sent a question in the space: "Urgent! My male god is a boring guy, how do I confess?"

The circle of girlfriends immediately exploded, and gods from all walks of life offered their moves one after another.

"Why don't you tell me, just press down."

"Friendship provides various flavors and models of x medicine, and there is always one that suits him."

Such and such, such and such.

There is only one reliable way: "If you want to confess all at once, you probably won't be able to do it, so let's take steps. First, you find an excuse to hold a party, invite a lot of friends, and pretend to invite your male god casually. Then At the party, you gave him a surprise and confessed to him in front of everyone. With so many of us supporting you, you will be more confident."

OK, let's do it.

Chi Caifan jumped up from the bed and ran to the white porcelain flowerpot with lilac fairy.This is a kind of flower that is not very eye-catching, with a thin golden corolla blooming on the tall and straight branches and leaves.

Its flower language is: chivalry, respect, rebirth, compassion.

And - "Please return my love".

From the first time I saw this flower, its image overlapped with Qi Han's figure.Fresh as cloves, pure as narcissus.He looks like a Templar who strictly abides by the rules, and also looks like an ignorant boy with expectations.She called it "Knight's Flower".

Narcissus likes the cold and is afraid of heat.Because the current climate is hot and winterless, its flowering period is becoming shorter and shorter.She carefully selected the largest and most beautiful flower bud, cut it off with scissors, put it in a fresh-keeping box and refrigerated it in the refrigerator to prolong its flowering time.Wait until the day of the confession, then take it out, put it in a beautiful glass vase, and give it to Qi Han together with the thousand sheets of paper filled with "Cai Fan Qi Qi".At that time, this sleeping bud will bloom between them like their love.

Later she learned that when you give a narcissus to someone, you can't just give one branch, because it means misfortune and death.

And this narcissus that was going to be given to Qi Han turned out to be a prophecy in the end.
