Yao Luoxuan is the most capable of fighting among this group of in-service female policemen, and her physical fitness is also the best. A veteran, and a former peacekeeper. Although Yao Luoxuan has retired, she still works hard to maintain basic training. Yao Luoxuan's jogging is about rhythm, as well as emotional control, and the most important thing is to control the time to twenty-two minutes, not more than one minute, not less than one minute. The greatest benefit of this control is to keep every part of the body functioning perfectly. Once there is a huge difference between the time of day and the self-setting, then you will think about the amount of food involved in the day, the emotions that were interfered with, the quality of sleep last night, and so on. Once the problematic factors are identified, Yao Luoxuan will always stubbornly fix the instability.

This attitude to life will always keep people in the same state of mind. Especially for women, the fixed pattern will always make her unable to find signs of change. Yao Luoxuan is like this, thirty-four-year-old Yao Luoxuan, with a good figure and appearance, has always maintained the most perfect state, even after the birth of her children, she can quickly restore all her confidence.

Tonight's five-kilometer jog ended at 22:56. The sports watch in Yao Luoxuan's hand shows all the heart rate every thirty seconds for twenty-two minutes. After experiencing these two days of inexplicable events, he was still able to maintain this mentality, and Yao Luoxuan felt a sense of relief in his heart. Maybe this peace of mind is my true feeling.

"Do you have to run like this every day, and if you run one day less, it feels bad. Well, this should be a habit that has been cultivated for many years, and if it changes, it will always be bad. But I know that every day I change, I will find that I don't know myself anymore. Wu Zhaoxing stood aside, he watched Yao Luoxuan do the leg pressing action, and suddenly said this.

Yao Luoxuan's movements slowed down. I don't even know myself?

"On the other hand, these habits can also confirm the reason for their existence, right?" Yao Luoxuan asked rhetorically.

"When I was discharged from the army, I didn't keep the habits I had when I was a soldier, and I was more suitable to cater to the life of young people today. Although I am not young anymore, I have always learned the way of young people, staying up late or all night, overeating, and driving far away when I have time. Wu Zhaoxing said, his eyes lonely, "But the age is still on the body, and now I obviously feel physically exhausted." I want to get back the momentum I had at the beginning, but I don't have the courage to do it. ”

Before Yao Luoxuan got off work today, Wu Zhaoxing came over. The two were once comrades-in-arms, and this friendship is not so easy to forget. Wu Zhaoxing proposed to ask Yao Luoxuan to have a meal and catch up with the past, but Yao Luoxuan refused. I just said that I will exercise in a certain park, and if I am interested, I will talk over there. It's not that Yao Luoxuan is indifferent, but the events of the past two days make her not know how to deal with the next opportunity, maybe after a period of running and adjusting the posture of her body, she will slowly breathe the oxygen of her original life again. Wu Zhaoxing nodded and agreed, made an appointment, and sure enough, he came here before Yao Luoxuan ended. Yao Luoxuan couldn't think of understanding his thoughts, at least he was still in a bad situation in his heart.

Yao Luoxuan suddenly remembered this, feeling his emotions, the ups and downs were very large, but all this did not affect the jogging time.

Wu Zhaoxing told Yao Luoxuan that in the first year of Yao Luoxuan's peacekeeping career, he had no choice but to be honorably discharged from the army because of many business problems. After retiring from the army, he was lucky to find a company, worked in it, and after several years of immersion, he finally became a partner of this company, and his life was not bad, but he lacked the sense of belonging in the army.

Mention this ranking, Yao Luoxuan remembered other comrades-in-arms who he hadn't seen for many years. According to her situation, when she is generally discharged from the army, she always keeps in touch with the guys who have trained and fought together in the past. But after I woke up from the hospital in a daze, everything began to change. I always feel that all the previous experiences are like dreams, in a trance. In the following two or three years, I also kept in touch with my comrades. But after changing the mobile phone number, everything slowly disconnected. I have been to the veterans' office several times to handle business, and I have also seen the names and contact information of those comrades-in-arms in the same group of personnel displayed on the huge roster, but I have no consciousness to record and observe. As if escaping from the past, why do you have such emotions, Yao Luoxuan has also consulted a psychiatrist more than once, and their answers are varied, after several twists and turns, he has not found the answer, but life has taken a big step forward. It takes courage to step out, and it takes courage to look back. The courage is still there, just sitting alone in the bottom of my heart, enjoying all the life I have constructed now.

"Have you contacted the other comrades-in-arms?" Yao Luoxuan changed his legs, continued to straighten his body, pressed on the horizontal bar with a height of one meter and two, and worked hard to press his entire body on it, repeatedly squeezing, adjusting every inch of muscle in his body.

"In the first few years, I was in touch and they helped me, but in the last three years, my life has gradually improved, and I have less and less contact with them, until last year, almost unbelievably silent. Wu Zhaoxing replied and sighed. "I don't know why that's happening. But actually meeting you really made me happy for a while. ”

"Are you so happy?" Yao Luoxuan smiled lightly, and the faint dimples at the corners of his mouth were placed on it, giving people a very comfortable feeling. "I'm surprised to see you, too, but I'm sorry, I can't be happier," she said. Maybe as you said, life has improved, and it has been silent in it, and it is difficult to pull it out. ”

There is a tone of rejection in this reject. But Wu Zhaoxing did not feel unhappy at all. Compared with being eaten behind closed doors, this simple communication may already contain the most real thoughts. Wu Zhaoxing looked at his phone, and the time displayed on it was 9:26 p.m. Darkness is coming, but what's the use of darkness under the nightless lights of the city? It's just a reminder that it's time to adapt to the arrangements that the city has laid out for you.

Yao Luoxuan put down his legs, repeatedly raised his legs in place a few times, bent down and made a few simple stretching movements, and said, "There is a small café opposite, it's pretty good, let's have a drink together?" Wu Zhaoxing immediately agreed. Whatever the reason, at least I can have such a former friend, whether the words can communicate properly or not, but I can only say at least, communicate the things that I have not been able to tell in front of others.

The two silently came to the café opposite. After Yao Luoxuan sat down, she hung her coat on the hook on the wall, she was still wearing a tight sweatshirt, black and gray, this costume outlined her delicate figure perfectly. Yao Luoxuan pulled up the sweatband fastened to his head with his hands up, and circled his already tied ponytail a few times again. The patterned sweatband on her hand was fiddled with a headband. Then, she untied the armbag on her left arm, put it on the table, took out her mobile phone from the middle, swiped it a few times, and after replying to a few WeChat messages, she looked at the price list posted on the bar not far away.

This small café is pitifully small, if it is only a small coffee shop according to its size, it is only about 50 square meters, and the bar occupies a considerable position, and there are only two sets of tables and chairs in it. The table is pitifully small, slightly cramped for two people to sit down, and the chairs are also a common high stool in bars. If Yao Luoxuan was young, this kind of café would have gone out of business. Without dozens of tables and chairs, you can't support business at all. But nowadays, people have been hiding in their homes and refusing to come out, relying on various app platforms to buy coffee remotely. The best communication also ended in this environment.

Wu Zhaoxing asked Yao Luoxuan what he wanted to eat, and Yao Luoxuan said casually. After getting this answer in almost the same format, Wu Zhaoxing didn't have to bother too much, and ordered two cups of the most expensive coffee and a small dessert at random, and then paid. When the clerk heard that the two of them were going to eat here, he kept smiling, but the wrinkled muscles on his face were obviously puzzled. Obviously, these two tables and chairs are just trying to make guests wait for packing, not to eat on the spot. But when you open the door, you have to do business, and the salesman collects the money and immediately gets busy. There is no decoration in this small shop, and the white paint has been clearly decorated, which highlights the refreshing feeling of this small shop.

When Yao Luoxuan ordered food in Wu Zhaoxing, he looked around, as if he was a professional habit, and stared at the road outside the store. In the night, on the street corner next to it, several pedestrians ignored the instructions of the traffic lights, did not care about the horns of the vehicles behind them, and shuttled among themselves. One electric bicycle after another, sitting on all kinds of people, casually shuttling on the motorway. Luckily, there isn't much traffic here after dark. In addition, there are several high probes on the street outside, and there are signs that say "no parking, electronic monitoring", which makes this road exceptionally refreshing.

The sound of the large coffee machine in the bar was mixed, mixed with the music played by the salesperson with the Bluetooth speaker, and it was very tacit to cooperate. Turning his head, Yao Luoxuan noticed that the music was pure music, without any lyrics, and the bagpipes in it were extremely melodious. This is an Irish bagpipe, and the rhythm is also the tune of the old Central European folk song.

Once upon a time, it was when I was a student. Yao Luoxuan got a cassette tape out of nowhere, and the music recorded in it was this kind of Central European classical tune, and through the cooperation of modern singers with guitars and electronic keyboards, the distant tunes were reinterpreted to perfection. At that time, Yao Luoxuan was in his youth, and he had no resistance to the attraction of the outside world. Whenever I'm alone at home at night doing some homework, the player in the corner of the desk always plays those tunes on a loop. But as time passed, the boxed tapes disappeared from the world, and the tapes in his collection disappeared. The tunes of the past can no longer be traced. Even if I sang a few rhythms, asked a lot of people, and even searched with the app, I couldn't find it. Although regret is regret, at least it makes Yao Luoxuan have an attraction for this kind of music from the Central European period.

"The music these salesmen listen to is very biased, it's a Central European tune. As soon as Wu Zhaoxing sat down, Yao Luoxuan said this, she supported her head with her hands, and looked at the bar with a sideways face, very elegant.

"Do you want me to ask what song it is?" Wu Zhaoxing asked.

"No, I don't have time to listen to songs now, I'm tired of life, and I don't have any extra time to explore these things. ”

"What's the point of life if life doesn't interest you in everything?" Mr. Wu said.

Listening to Wu Zhaoxing's words, Yao Luoxuan's face was not sustenable. The biggest training that life has taught her in the past few years is that she doesn't have to care about other people's accidental touches on words and deeds that she doesn't want to touch.

When the music fell, the salesman placed two large cups of coffee and three small cakes on their table. The coffee pulled the flowers, the appearance of the pine tree, very beautiful. The small cake is made of chocolate, round shape, with three layers of filling, and a few pieces of fruit are placed on top, which makes people want to eat it.

Yao Luoxuan scraped a little cake with a small spoon placed aside, then put it in his mouth, tried the taste kissing, and nodded and praised: "This tastes good, I always wanted to come in and eat it, but after the exercise, I ate dessert, but it was in vain." ”

"So, in general, you go home and eat protein powder?"

Yao Luoxuan shook his head and said, "Drink water, drink to your heart's content, you're really hungry, eat some vegetables." Protein powder is for fitness people, and I just want to stay healthy. ”

"You're healthy enough, not like me. If you ask me to run five kilometers, I won't be able to do it. ”

"You can train properly, we are all in our thirties, we don't exercise much, and when we reach forty, we may get sick. ”

Wu Zhaoxing nodded, expressing agreement, he said: "Forty years old is still far away from us, but we are indeed in our thirties. ”

"It's a question that can't be avoided. ”

"But what have we gotten over the past 30 years?"

As soon as the topic changed, Yao Luoxuan took a sip of coffee and put down the cup. She smiled lightly again and said, "Everything in front of us is what we get." ”

"What about what was lost earlier?"

"What?"

"What about our previous experience? You entered peacekeeping that year, and those of us who were not elected, but it was a long time. These moments, we don't seem to get, we just lose. Wu Zhaoxing picked up the cup and took a big sip, and the latte art on the surface of the coffee broke up in an instant.

"It's not good to keep reminiscing about the past. ”

"But at least I know where I'm from. Wu Zhaoxing put down the cup and looked at Yao Luoxuan. Suddenly asked, "Do you know how you got back?"

Yao Luoxuan didn't expect Wu Zhaoxing to come to this sentence, she looked at the other party's face, looked at the smile on it, and pondered the meaning of the sentence. It seems that there is no sign at all, as if it reminds me of my past. She has almost forgotten the experience of peacekeeping back then, and the past two days have reminded her again, as well as her comrades-in-arms at this moment, which seems to make her recall more detailed content again.

"Do you know? When I was on a mission, I was knocked unconscious by a car bomb, and I went back to China and lay down for three months before I woke up. Yao Luoxuan replied.

"That's serious. Wu Zhaoxing smiled faintly.

"I guess you know about me. Yao Luoxuan observed the other party's face, and there was no abnormality in the expression on it. It's just too quiet.

"I really don't know. Wu Zhaoxing waved his hand.

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

"But you're too calm. ”

Wu Zhaoxing squinted his eyes slightly. "But that's the way it is, I've heard you say it for the first time. ”

"Of course. Yao Luoxuan said.

"I'm sorry for that, it may have made you uncomfortable. ”

Are you going to pick on it?" Yao Luoxuan thought to himself. She took a sip of the coffee in her hand and broke up the latte art on it.

"There's no sequelae, look at your current appearance, it's very good. Wu Zhaoxing continued, his face still not surprised.

"A suggestion for you. Yao Luoxuan said suddenly.

Wu Zhaoxing scooped up a large piece of the cake in front of him with a spoon, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it directly without chewing. Only then did he meet Yao Luoxuan's gaze and look over.

"Willing to listen. ”

"Make an appointment with someone, but you can't release other pigeons. He said. Yao Luoxuan took out his mobile phone and lit up the screen, and the huge number on the desktop of the mobile phone showed the time at the moment: ten o'clock.

At this time, Wu Zhaoxing's face showed a hint of heaviness.

The door of the coffee shop opened again, and a gust of cold wind quickly penetrated through it, trying to occupy the small territory. But as the door closed automatically after opening, the guy who wanted to be cold was instantly shattered by the warm air exhaled by the small air conditioner in the coffee shop.

It was Nian Hao who walked in just now, he stood directly between the two, stretched out his hand, picked up the third cake on the table, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, it took a few seconds to swallow it, and then he raised his hand and wiped it on the corner of his mouth, wiping off the remaining cream from the corner of his mouth. After giving up, he looked at Wu Zhaoxing coldly.

"I'm sorry, I met my comrades-in-arms, the conversation was outdated, and I forgot my date with you. Wu Zhaoxing explained.

Nian Hao didn't say anything, he looked at the oil stain on his hand, and regardless of Wu Zhaoxing's expression, he reached over and wiped it directly on his coat a few times. After cleaning it up, he pulled out his cigarette and lit it for himself. When the salesman saw it, he cautiously said, "I'm sorry, our shop is small and we can't smoke." ”

"Yes. Nian Hao replied, he turned sideways, looked at the two salesmen, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The sound is crisp. There are no blockages. The two salesmen closed their eyes and fell to the ground in an instant.

Yao Luoxuan stood up in astonishment when he saw such a change.

"Rest assured, they're not dead, they're asleep, and tomorrow morning they wake up and they won't remember anything. With that, Nian Hao turned around and walked to the bar. He propped up the table with one hand, flipped it slightly, and entered the bar.

"Where did you come from?" Wu Zhaoxing stood up and put a hand in his pocket.

Nian Hao walked aside, groped in the bar table for a while, found the power cord, and pulled it hard, and the various machines in the bar stopped working instantly.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"If that's what you say, you might put us at war. ”

"Go to war?" Nian Hao took a cigarette in his mouth, glanced up at Wu Zhaoxing, and then continued to grope up.

"Did you kid hear clearly!" Wu Zhaoxing's face became a little angry at this time.

Nian Hao's hand was pressed again, and a black box was pulled out from under the bar by him. Nian Hao looked at Yao Luoxuan and said, "This is the hard disk used for monitoring in the store, and I will hand it over to you." When the words fell, Nian Hao threw it lightly, and the black hard disk the size of a cigarette box flew steadily towards Yao Luoxuan. Yao Luoxuan grabbed it in his hand with just a slight movement.

"The hard drive is gone, the surveillance is gone, and the salesperson will forget everything just now, and there will be nothing left, so I want to do something bad. Nian Hao said, grabbed the corner of the cash register, pulled hard, and a large piece of iron was torn off by him, and at the same time pulled out the box where the cash register placed the change banknotes. Nian Hao looked at it, and sighed while taking out the money in it with his hand: "In the information age, there are not many banknotes. ”

Then, Nian Hao sorted out the banknotes and change in front of the two.

"I don't understand that I went into a pit. Wu Zhaoxing sat down, but became calm. "Can you tell me what's going on?"

Yao Luoxuan stuffed the hard drive case into his coat, sat down as well, and said, "He asked me to do this." ”

"Oh, it's more than 300 pieces in total. Nian Hao sorted it out a little, determined the number, and stuffed the money into his pocket: "I am an orphan, and the normal consumption is subsidized, but the pocket money has to be saved." ”

"You're a robbery. There's a policeman here!" Wu Zhaoxing said.

"It's okay, Officer Yao will help me get all this, besides, there is a criminal police captain to support me. Nian Hao said. He flicked the ash of his cigarette and continued, "I wanted to see Officer Yao tonight, but she said someone had asked her out. I asked who, and she told me the truth, so I asked her to bring you here. ”

Nian Hao waved his hand. "It's as simple as that. ”

"Xiao Yao?" Wu Zhaoxing turned his head to look at Yao Luoxuan and asked, "How do you listen to him?"

Yao Luoxuan shook his head. She said that she didn't know that since the changes in the past two days, Yao Luoxuan couldn't figure out who Nian Hao was at all. However, when Niho asked, she felt an urge that she couldn't help but cooperate. It seems that as long as you listen to this boy, everything can be cheerful. This kind of thinking is different from the things that were calculated with Zhao Cui, Sun Qian and others the day before yesterday. Yao Luoxuan knew that she was caught in an unexplained whirlpool, but she didn't want to come out, especially when Nian Hao appeared in front of her.

"Are you really a 'tavern'?"

"This is the second time I've heard the word 'tavern' from other people's mouths. Nian Hao once again held the bar table alone, and his whole body turned over, but he didn't land, just sat on it steadily, looking at Wu Zhaoxing condescendingly. He said: "The first guy who said these two words to me has been killed by me, and that's what he asked me before he died. ”

Wu Zhaoxing took a breath of cool air, obviously he remembered something, he kept his composure, and said: "You also know that there are some unusual things and unusual means on your body, so you must believe that there are some unusual existences." You're now challenging an unusual being. ”

"Oh? That's a good explanation. Nian Hao swallowed a puff of cigarette, enjoying it very much, he said, "But I also know that the battle has never stopped." ”
