If it weren't for the fact that he was on the phone and kept yelling at the deputy to calm down, the deputy might have rushed over and would have died by his brother's side.
That accident was the largest casualty suffered by the mercenary group in these years.
Although some tasks also have a certain life-risk factor, at least they are for the development and reputation of the mercenary group, and they have a certain meaning.
Only that time, it was because of a personal incident, the adjutant's impromptu command, and it also opened the door to hell for all innocent brothers.
If the daughter of the Xiao family can even be canceled as the fiancée of the leader's son.
So what does the death of the brothers mean? !
Xiao Jia drooped his eyelids and looked at the ground listlessly, his throat dry and parched.
The implications of the matter were too serious. Yuyu's marriage to the leader's son had implicated so many lives.
He knew he shouldn't ask, but he made a sound in his throat like a machine, as if he couldn't control it: "How many... companions are traveling together, how many people..."
He wanted to know how many lives had been taken.
The leader did not speak. The voice came from behind him. The Chinese words he spat out were perfectly round and full of anger: "Eighteen."
18 lives.
The Xiao family really didn’t know what to say.
The leader sighed almost inaudibly. In fact, he didn't know about this because he had never been contacted. The first time he was able to talk on the phone happened to be when the accident happened.
It came too coincidental and too late.
If he himself knew about this, he would not let everyone take this risk, but at the same time it also shows that the adjutant and his subordinates have a greater affection for him than anything else.
His mood was roughly the same as that of the Xiao family, guilt, helplessness, self-blame, and not knowing how to deal with it. If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family took the initiative to bring up the matter of their child's fiancée, he would not have originally planned to mention it.
That's not necessarily true, because he didn't plan to bring his adjutant with him when he came to China this time. The military region needs to be managed by a responsible person. Basically, the tasks of the two of them are to be staggered and they will not travel at the same time.
Moreover, coming here this time is not considered a mission. It is really because of his personal affairs. No matter from which point of view, the adjutant should not be involved anymore.
But the adjutant insisted on coming, not only to find the leader's son, but also to find Yuyu and get them married, finally giving an explanation to the former brothers.
Who would have thought, by coincidence, the Xiao family would actually take the initiative to mention this and get into trouble.
Even the leader had trouble appeasing his lieutenants.
Just when the air was about to solidify and everyone present was about to suffocate, Uncle Zhang happened to come over. He didn't know what the situation was before, thinking that everyone had finished talking.
He opened his mouth with a smile, unintentionally breaking the deadlock: "If everyone has finished chatting, we can prepare to eat. The food in the kitchen is ready. If the guests have any special requests, it's not too late to order them now."
Qin Huimin stood up, as if nothing had happened, and said elegantly and politely: "You have come a long way, and the two families have formed a marriage. After all, we are all one family. Let's sit down and have a reunion dinner together."
"Yes." Xiao Ying also stood up and leaned next to his wife. The two couples seemed to have a tacit understanding and harmony: "In our country of China, the sky is huge and the food is the biggest. Prepare to eat first and call in the brothers outside. Let’s eat together, the dining room at home is big enough to seat us.”
In this way, the adjutant's complexion improved, the leader also stood up, and the group went to eat in silence.
The restaurant is indeed not small. There are 36 people in the mercenary group, which sounds like a small number.
But usually when they go on missions, the number of more than a dozen people is normal.
All of them are top-notch talents, and they are all equal to one in the outside world. Their skills, reflexes, and brains are all excellent. The most important thing is that they all have extraordinary courage. If the sky falls, they can be carried away like a quilt mentality.
The figure is uniformly broad-shouldered, with long arms and legs. When sitting around the dining table, there is an illusion that the room is too short.
Everyone looked at the leader, and the leader looked at Mr. Xiao. After he moved his chopsticks, the leader moved his chopsticks, and the others followed.
Xiao Ying sat next to the leader and said with a relaxed smile: "You seem to know the rules of the Chinese dinner table?"ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
The leader broke open the pasta at will and stuffed a big mouthful of food into his mouth. He said boldly and naturally: "My wife is from China. She taught me that when I eat at other people's homes, I have to wait for the host to move his chopsticks before the guests can eat. "
"You love your wife very much." Xiao Ying could feel that his wife had been dead for many years, but he could remember every word she said in his heart and do it all the time. It was very affectionate and rare.
As the saying goes, what kind of father is there, what kind of seed is there.
Come to think of it, even if his child is lost in China, he will definitely be an affectionate person when he grows up. I just hope that when he finds him, he will already have a loved one or get married. It is as if the child will not fulfill the promise and marry Yuyu. The only way out.
Anyway, the Xiao family didn't dare to mention it again.
The leader nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I love her very much."
The dinner table went well. The leader and Xiao Ying occasionally chatted. Mr. Xiao asked the people in the mercenary group if they wanted to drink some wine. There was also good wine in the wine store at home.
They shook their heads in unison. They would not drink when eating out. Fortunately, they were quite satisfied with the food. They often traveled around and went on missions all over the world. They often dealt with compressed biscuits casually. When they could eat well, they only stayed in the military area. .
The food in the military area is also rough, basically large amounts of meat stewed at will, and the cooked food can fill the stomach.
Basically, they rarely eat this kind of fine family food. They don't care about the appearance, they only know that the taste is very unique. After taking one bite, they naturally want to take the next bite, and they are all eating it without saying much.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang quickly asked the kitchen to help add dishes. Most of the servants gathered in the kitchen and were busy.
It took more than an hour of eating to fill these foreign stomachs.
"Dad, you stay here to accompany the leader and adjutants. I have company matters to go to the study to handle." Xiao Ying, who had already finished eating, saw that the meal was almost done before standing up to leave.
Mr. Xiao nodded and sat down in his seat, closer to the leader.
Xiao Ying walked up to Xiao Jiayue, pulled the corner of his clothes, and motioned for him to come with her.
As a woman, Qin Huimin found it inconvenient to spend more time with them. She smiled apologetically and followed the two father and son away.
study.
A family of three sat on the sofa, frowning, as if they were in a haze and didn't know where to find a way out.
Xiao Jiayue carefully told his parents about the meeting between his grandfather and the leader. Their eyes became darker and darker, like a fog that could not be resolved.
"Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing earlier?" Xiao Ying's tone was low, with a rare annoyance.
Xiao Jialu had veins pulsing on his forehead, and he seemed to have no energy left in speaking: "It has been so many years, and Grandpa didn't mention it, nor did he expect that the leader would come looking for him."
