Outside the hospital, the night is dark, the room is dimly lit, and the electronic sound of medical equipment is ticking, like an old-fashioned clock, urging people to return or return.
There was no movement in the shadows of the corners, only heavy dark green curtains, gently swaying under the blowing of the internal circulation ventilation system, and no cat had walked by, but it was like a cat walking by.
The silence for a long time is like a blank space in the human mind, not knowing the specific minutes and seconds, only knowing that it exists and is long.
Then a voice rang out from the shadows.
"No, this is not my home, you forgot, our home is behind the mountain, four kilometers away from the Cultivation Pavilion, there are no neon signs, there is no such a big private lake, and there are no hundreds of stupid soldiers as bodyguards This is just your home, the tomb of the living dead built for you by the Federation, the cold palace."
Feng Yu's voice was as hoarse and cold as it was many years ago, with a mocking energy and frivolity that was difficult for anyone to imitate, sounding like a young bastard screaming among poor and miserable green girls on a retro oil motorcycle, but with some kind of overlooking coolness that squinted cross-legged on the top of the Old Moon Mountain and squinted at the S1-like storm.
Li Pifu on the hospital bed quietly looked at the shadow in the corner, his eyes were calm and weak, but the voice of the answer did not know why, and there was a lot of mockery, as a federal military god, in this long life, probably only in front of this person, he could feel the real equality, so he also had some kind of freedom.
"I haven't seen you for decades, and this is probably the last time we will meet, and I don't want to repeat those boring quarrels with you."
The old man frowned painfully, waved his hand a little annoyed, and continued: "You choose to come to see me last, it won't be to fight with me again. ” "Why not" The voice in the shadows sounded quickly, with a hint of uncomfortably sharp eardrums, "You are about to die, of course I have to make these things clear before you die, otherwise after you die, who will I find to reason with your son or your grandson or the lady who smears black shoe polish on his face every day The president is right, old man, do you think that the lady president really thinks that he can look more gentleman by blackening himself or that he is really addicted to pretending to be a miner" Although I couldn't see the expression of the man in the shadow in the corner, I could imagine that his facial features must have been very relaxed and mocking when he said this harshly.
"I don't want to talk to you about this boring stuff."
The old man on the hospital bed categorically stopped the conversation in this direction, although his arm trembled very much, "I started fighting at the age of seven or eight, I didn't expect to fight at the age of seventy or eighty, I want to die, I want to retain the right not to listen to your nonsense, if you have to continue to fight, then I will simply die." ” "Don't scare me with death, don't pretend to be dead, I know you best in this universe, even if you only have your last breath left, your breath can definitely support you to jump out of bed and slap me again."
Feng Yu sat calmly in the shadows, unable to see the outline of his body at all, and could only vaguely capture a certain existence through the sound and the reflection of the faint starlight outside the window.
"I must admit that when it comes to such things as fights and brawls, there is no one in the universe who is your opponent, and neither am I, so I must keep a long enough distance from you.
Otherwise, you really jumped up from the bed and slapped me to death, but you died with the burp brothers because you used up the last breath, this kind of ending seems too bloody, I don't want to accept it. ” There was a snap of a lighter lit, illuminating the corners of the wall, the dark green curtains seemed to turn into ammunition bound by blue flames in the warm firelight, and the face under the hat, which was still young despite the vicissitudes of life, flashed and disappeared, only the cigarette butt was bright and dim in the dark.
"Actually, I've been thinking that if you really come to see me for the last time, should I set a trap to catch you, or that killing you may be the last chance, after I die, probably no one will be able to deal with you again."
Li Pifu's withered hands gently brushed the white futon, and his hoarse and tired voice echoed in his shriveled chest.
After a pause, he smiled hard and continued to sigh in a low voice: "But I didn't do it, because even if I laid out the plan, I can't be sure if the troops can catch you or kill you, and the more important reason is that I have done enough for the Federation in my life, and in the end, I should be qualified to live an ordinary life." ” The old man looked at the immovable red point of light in the dark corner, and said calmly: "In this last breath, I don't want to fight with you, I just want to talk to you." ” "Old man, you're still so narcissistic.
In fact, you've been alive for decades, but you can't kill me.
As for the universe after your death, it is actually much more exciting than you imagined, your grandson, Huaifucha's strong girl, and Xu Le, maybe they can all deal with me, the problem is, except for you who is stubborn, who will think about dealing with their own brother every day" The man in the shadows stiffened and then took a hard puff on his cigarette, his voice soft and mocking, as the smoke filled the room.
Then he flexed the middle finger of his right hand, grabbed the lower end of the cigarette filter with his thumb, and flicked the flaming cigarette roll like a high-speed missile in the air of the Imperial planet, and bounced towards Li Pifu on the hospital bed.
The whole universe thought that the dying old man in the hospital bed was dying and could not move, and the cigarette roll should fall directly on his face, and then splash humiliating sparks, but this was not the case, the weak and tired old man who only had his last breath raised his right arm with difficulty, parted his two fingers, clamped the cigarette with great accuracy, and then brought it to his lips and took a puff, and the old cheeks full of spots and loose skin appeared, and the emotions of extreme enjoyment appeared.
They were very skillful in cooperating, and probably decades ago, at the beginning of the thirty-seventh constitutional calendar and even in the last years of the last constitutional calendar, the two brothers were so greedy that they shared the cigarettes of their elders behind the Philadelphia Hills.
"Regarding the younger generation, I have to admit that you are better than me when it comes to education.
I'm not good at teaching people, I only use facts to lead people away, so in the process of teaching Li Feng, I will only use bloody psychological means and unhealthy medical methods to stimulate his meridian development, and a few years ago, when I first saw Xu Le, this little guy, I found that you had taken him farther away. ” "Again, you don't need to be modest about fighting like that, because that would seem hypocritical, and this kind of situation will only prove that you are unlucky."
The man in the shadow lit another cigarette, and still only had a glimpse of his face, and said: "Bloodline inheritance has never been a stable thing, and it is also common for our old Li family to be inferior to the next generation, and the teacher said when I was a child that some people are naturally suitable for practicing these, Xu Le is like this, and the girl who looks like a man in the empire is also like this." ” He looked at his brother on the bed from the shadows, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Actually, the ten postures I taught Xu Le, in addition to stimulating true qi, are mainly to restrain the Philadelphia self-cultivation flow, that is, to deal with you and your filial sons and grandsons. ” Li Pifu's old and frail face did not have the slightest look of surprise, and he said mockingly: "When I first knew about the existence of your student a few years ago, I knew that you were engaged in a conspiracy again.
George Carlin, Professor Jin, mechanic Yu Feng, Feng Yu, you seem to have been constantly engaging in conspiracies all your life, but the funny thing is that it seems that none of your conspiracy can be maintained until the day of success, you always leave it alone halfway, Xu Le seems to be like this. ” "I like to play conspiracy" The voice in the shadow sharpened, and said mockingly: "You are an old guy who has been retired from the army for more than ten years, and you throw the marshal's uniform in the closet to become moldy, how light and light, indifferent to fame and fortune, but you will never forget to let your conservative son control the army before you die, and wait for my stupid student Xu Le to grow up gradually, and throw Du Shaoqing to the front line to fight, you have arranged everything." ” "Yes, that's my arrangement."
Li Pifu gently pinched the cigarette roll and said in a calm and low voice: "What about you, what is your arrangement?"
"Not scheduled."
Feng Yu waved his cigarette butt in the shadows and said disdainfully: "Qinglong Mountain students don't have fun these things, I don't want to play them for a long time." ” Li Pifu shook his head with difficulty, and said with emotion: "Thinking of your life, even I have to be shocked, to be honest, sometimes I think that my younger brother has caused so much trouble in the Federation, I actually have some faint pride that cannot be declared. ” "You've surprised me a little, but I have to finish my sentence."
Feng Yu in the shadows looked at his brother on the bed, and said indifferently: "I am not a conspirator, you are the biggest conspirator in this universe." ” "I'm going to argue again" Li Pifu coughed uncomfortably twice, staring at the dark corner angrily and gloomily, "Do you want to deny that behind the cultivation of Xu Le, you have no hidden conspiracy?"
"Of course not."
Feng Yu said: "He is a well-behaved and cute puppy, he can take care of the home and make fun of the house, so I picked it up and raised it, as for finding out that this is a very talented puppy, it was later." ” "Don't try to explain anything, hide something."
Li Pifu looked indifferently at the dark corner and said, "Maybe this proves that you also have some kind of guilt." ” "Guilty heart" The man became angry, waved his arms excitedly, and said: "I taught him to repair mechas, teach him to make mechas, teach him to use mechas, teach him to fight, teach him to kill cows, teach him to eat cows, teach him to enjoy life, what do I have to blame old man, if you really think that there is a conspiracy behind this matter, with your surname, won't you investigate it" "You don't have to look it up."
Li Pifu mocked and disdainfully said: "I also know that there is a conspiracy. ” "No conspiracy."
"There is a conspiracy."
"Nope" "Yes" In the quiet room in the middle of the night, the sound of fierce and childish arguments sounded like children.
Li Pifu and Feng Yu are undoubtedly the thirty-seven constitutional calendars, no, it should be said that they are the most incredible pair of brothers in the long history, they stand arrogantly in the stars between the Federation and the Empire, and they have influenced the world we live in for decades.
They have influenced history, changed history, and even though they themselves are history, they seem to be very different in age, but in fact they are already dying, carrying the dust of history.
Just like that, a pair of brothers, tonight on the shores of the lake of Philadelphia, in their hospital beds, in the shadows, angrily accusing each other like children, arguing, spitting saliva that was about to dry up because of old age, they could admit defeat, but they resolutely refused to admit their mistakes.
