一夜无眠的刘风昏昏沉沉的跟着Julia走进公共食堂吃早饭。早已坐在长桌旁的Peter注意到了他无精打采的样子,一边喝着咖啡一边盯着他说道:How is your last night, young man?(年轻人,你昨晚过的怎么样) 刘风一口气喝光了一杯牛奶道:I am fine, Peter. Thank you for your hosting.(我很好,彼得。谢谢你的招待) Peter道:Do not thank me. It is human’s duty to help each other.(不用谢我。人类应该互相帮助) 刘风摇头道:Unfortunately ,not everybody has the same opinion. Humans are selfish. Otherwise ,there won’t be fighting between people and people ,country and country.(不幸的是,不是所有的人都这么想的。人类是自私的。否则,人和人之间,国家和国家之间,就不会有那么多争斗和战争了) Peter道:Some people lost their brain and are used by shameless politicians. Some people lost their heart and do not know what is the most important in their lives.(一些人没有脑子,被无耻的政客所利用。一些人没有灵魂,不知道在他们的生命力什么是最重要的) 刘风问道:What is the most important in people’s lives then?(那么在人们的生命里什么是最重要的) Peter捋了捋白胡子眯起了眼睛道:Love and peace.(爱与和平) 刘风道:I think freedom is the most important.(我觉得自由才是最重要的) Peter看着他道:Freedom is not free ,young man. Are you willing to pay for it ? And will you be really happy when you get the freedom you want?(自由是要付出代价的,年轻人。你会为了自由而付出吗?而当你得到你想要的自由后,你会真的开心吗) 刘风陷入了沉思,一时无语。 Peter继续道:You do not need to answer me right now. I just hope you keep that question in your mind. Now tell me ,what is your plan if you got any.(你不需要现在就回答我。我只是希望你在心里记住这个问题。现在,告诉我,你是否有了一个计划) 听了这话,刘风的眼神变的严峻起来道:I need to finish something that I must do. I could need some help from you.(我需要完成我必须要做的事。我需要你的一些帮助) Peter像是早就料到了,端起咖啡又喝了一口,漫不经心似的问道:Yeah, what is that?(嗯,那是什么) 刘风看了看Peter,小心翼翼的问道:I am wondering if you have any detonator?(不知道你是否有一些雷管吗) 未等Peter答话,旁边的Julia插嘴道:Yeah we have. My brother used to use it to explore somewhere in the mountain. He always dreamed of finding a gold mine.(是的,我们有。我哥哥经常用它在山里探索,他总是幻想能找到一个金矿)说着,Julia笑了起来。 Peter不满的瞪了Julia一眼,继而盯着刘风道:What do you want it for?(你要雷管做什么) 刘风笑了笑道:Do not worry. I won’t use it for finding a gold mine.(别担心。我不会用它去找一个金矿) Peter没有说话,只是死死盯着刘风的眼睛。过了一会儿,他叹了口气对Julia道:Get it for him.(给他吧) 说完,他用餐巾纸擦了擦嘴,起身离去。 刘风在Julia的陪同下,拎着一桶汽油,背着一个沉重的登山包回到了停在公路边的VAN旁。他拉开车门,把登山包小心翼翼的放到后座上,接过Julia递过来的枪和军刺,全部放到了副驾驶座上。又在Julia的帮助下,用油桶给汽车加满了油,把空油桶还给了Julia. Julia看着他道:Are you sure you are ok?(你确定没问题吗) 刘风道:Yeah I am ok. Thank you for your help, Julia. Please say goodbye to Peter for me.(是的我没问题。谢谢你的帮助,朱丽叶。请替我向彼得道别) Julia道:Why don’t you stay with us until this turmoil passes? You will be safe here.(你为什么不和我们在一起直到这场动乱过去?你在这里会很安全) 刘风苦笑着道:Your village won’t be safe if I stay here. Furthermore ,there is still one thing I must do for my friend.(如果我待在这里,你们的村庄就不会安全。而且,我必须为我的朋友做一件事)说到这里,他脸上的笑容消失了,眼睛里射出一道寒光。 Julia耸了耸肩道:Alright. You guys always say so. Good luck, Feng.(好吧。你们男人总是这么说。祝你好运,风) 刘风又笑了笑,钻进了VAN,发动了引擎,摇下车窗冲Julia挥了挥手后开车离去。 Julia目送他的车消失后,转身走下公路,穿过灌木丛爬上了一块小高地,正遇到了抱着双臂站在那里眺望着公路的Peter。 Peter瞪了她一眼,哼了一声道:That is my best boots.(那是我最好的靴子) Julia一吐舌头,嘿嘿笑道:Only your size is the same as his.(只有你的尺寸和他的一样) 说着Julia站到Peter身旁,和他一起看着刘风的车离去的方向,问道:Do you think he will come back?(你觉得他会回来吗) Peter摇了摇头沉声道:I am afraid you won’t see him any more.(恐怕你不会再见到他了) Julia瞪大了眼睛道:But he promised me he will return your boots back.(但是他保证他会把你的靴子还回来的) Peter又哼了一声不再说话,拉起Julia的手,一起向村庄走去。
