50: Chapter 50 Na
Gao Yang felt that Cui Bo might have a knack for being an ominous crow, or perhaps Cui Bo was actually one; he had ntioned a close shave with danger, and as a result, Glolov was shot and nearly lost his life.
Gao Yang had also been extrely lucky that a bullet had struck his axe, allowing him to narrowly escape; neither he nor Glolov had died, which indeed could be considered a close shave with danger.
However, Glolov’s situation was much more perilous than Gao Yang’s.
According to the doctor who perford surgery on Glolov later, if he had been brought to the hospital even two hours later, he would have certainly died.
The fact that they were able to save Glolov can only be attributed to his not being destined to die then.
If it hadn’t been for Gao Yang and Cui Bo desperately dragging him off the battlefield, all would have been lost.
If Gao Yang and his companions hadn’t encountered Ali, who offered to help, they too would have died.
And if Morgan hadn’t arranged for his agent Abdul to assist them with all his might, Glolov would have died on the way to Tripoli.
But whether by coincidence or fate, Glolov ultimately survived.
It wasn’t until the day after the surgery that Glolov woke up.
When he finally did, Gao Yang, who had had a good night’s sleep, and Cui Bo were already waiting by his bed.
When Glolov woke up, he first looked around for a while before finally resting his gaze on Gao Yang and Cui Bo.
After a mont of silence, Glolov said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Thank what?
We’re brothers who’ve been through life and death together.
It’s pointless to say too much.”
After another mont of silence, Glolov said with a serious tone, “I’m just a free rcenary; I took money for this job.
You could have left
behind, but you didn’t.
I know I almost got you and Rabbit killed.”
Seeing that Glolov wanted to continue, Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “All right, save your strength.
The doctor said you need to rest, so why are you wasting your breath on all this talk?”
Glolov smiled and said, “Okay, no more nonsense.
But I have to tell you, I owe you my life.”
Gao Yang sighed and said, “Here we go again.
You’re supposed to be resting.”
Shaking his head, Glolov replied, “I know my own condition; I’m fine now.
In the most, a dozen days or so, I’ll be as lively as ever.
Don’t worry about .
Besides, as brothers who have shared life and death, you at least deserve to know my real na.”
Gao Yang exclaid in surprise, “What!
You’ve been using a fake na?”
Glolov gave Gao Yang a look as if he were an idiot and said, “Of course.
Who would casually reveal their real na while working as a rcenary?
My god, Gao.
Don’t tell
that your na is your real one.”
Gao Yang gave a wry smile and said, “It’s my real na, of course.
I’m not a rcenary.
Why bother with such duplicity?”
Glolov shook his head and said, “Exactly, you’re not a rcenary.
Well, let
tell you my real na.
I’m Yuri Grolevsky Ivanov.
My alias is derived from my patronymic.
Of course, you can continue to call
Glolov.”
Gao Yang let out a sigh and said, “Fine, my na is Gao Yang, and Rabbit really is Cui Bo.
You wouldn’t understand the aning behind my na if I explained it to you.
As for Rabbit’s actual na, there’s so ambiguity.
His na sounds a bit indecent as ‘Cui’ is homophonous with ‘urge,’ and as for ‘Bo,’ well, it’s akin to that ‘erect’…”
As Gao Yang spoke, he glanced unconsciously at Cui Bo, only to see Cui Bo giving him a deadly stare and slowly saying, “Brother Yang, I may not understand English, but after being out here for a few years, I’ve made sure to understand how to say my na in English.
Now you ntion my na, and you’re making a smutty face.
Do you need to explain sothing to ?”
Gao Yang had the uncomfortable feeling of being caught red-handed.
He cleared his throat and said sheepishly to Glolov, “Nothing else, really.
Cui Bo’s na is just Cui Bo.
It doesn’t an anything else.
You can just call him by his nickna, Rabbit.”
A befuddled Glolov looked at Gao Yang, then back at Cui Bo, tilted his head, and said, “Alright, no need for too many explanations.
What matters now is not the nas, right?
What’s important is what you’re planning to do next?”
Before Gao Yang could respond, there ca a knock at the door.
Abdul then entered the room, pointed at his watch, and addressed Gao Yang, “If you want to go ho, today would be the perfect ti.
I can’t guarantee there will be another such opportunity in the future.
As for Glolov, you don’t need to worry about him; he can stay here and recuperate in safety.”
Gao Yang looked at Cui Bo, sowhat troubled, and said, “Rabbit, what do you plan to do?”
Cui Bo replied indifferently, “Brother Yang, just go ho.
Don’t worry about the Old Russian; I’ll stay and take care of him.
Once his injury heals, I’ll join him as a rcenary.
And don’t bother trying to persuade ; it won’t work.”
Gao Yang figured that Tripoli seed relatively stable for the mont and wouldn’t be thrown into chaos anyti soon.
Moreover, Abdul had said that he wouldn’t go to Benghazi but would stay in Tripoli.
With that, Gao Yang didn’t need to worry about the safety of Glolov and Cui Bo.
Even if sothing did happen, Abdul could transport them to another place.
After hesitating for a mont, Gao Yang finally said to Glolov, “I’m sorry, but I have to go ho.
Take care of yourselves, you and Rabbit.”
With a slap on his forehead, Glolov exaggeratedly exclaid, “Oh, my God, do you think I’m a child or so damsel in need of protection?
Please, I’m an old rcenary, Gao.
You should have gone ho a long ti ago.
Honestly, if I could go back, I would have gone ho already.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Okay then, I’m off.
Is there anything you need help with?”
Glolov nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, there really is sothing I need your help with.
I’ll give you an address; can you deliver so money to my wife in Russia?
And while you’re at it, could you also check on how my wife and daughter are doing?
I worry about them.
Without a trustworthy person, I can’t just disclose their address to anyone, so you really need to do this for .”
Gao Yang asked curiously, “Why?
Can’t you go back yourself?”
With a bitter smile, Glolov said, “Of course, if I dared to go back to my country, it would be better to be caught by the police than the Mafia.
If the Mafia found out, my entire family would be dead.
The reasons are complicated; I’ll explain them to you in detail later.”
Gao Yang could only nod and say, “All right.
I’ll take a trip to Russia.
Just give
the address.”
Glolov’s spirits lifted as he said, “My daughter is Yelena Yura Ivanova, and my wife is Natalia Sasha Ivanova.
I’ll write down the address for you.
When you find them, just say you’re a friend of Glolov.
They’ll understand.
Rember, you must say you’re a friend of Glolov, not my full na.”
