Chapter 73: Drifting Away

Leaving the political and educational building, Song Ju'an found a secluded place to smoke.

At this point, everyone else was taking a nap, and he was sitting alone in that small shady area in the huge camp.

An hour later, a hill was piled up at your feet.

If you touch the cigarette box again, it will be empty for a long time.

Looking at the time, it was almost 3 o'clock.

After cleaning up the cigarette butts on the ground, Song Ju'an walked to the training ground.

The team members gathered ten minutes early every day, and when he passed, the team was all standing.

The afternoon training began, and it was still a normal day.

But Da Jiang felt different, when he was in charge of recording the time on the side, he was actually more like a bystander, and he could see some changes more clearly.

In the second item, in a group of people who started side by side, Song Ju'an took the lead to reach the downstairs, grabbed the rope, stepped on the wall and climbed up, went down to the highest place in three or two, and then quickly descended downstairs.

In a round of applause, Da Jiang wrote down the time in the second column, and looked up to find that Song Ju'an was already preparing for the next group.

For dinner, he also ate faster than the others, and after eating, he went to the playground.

Song Ju'an hung his head and rolled up his cuffs, not far from the playground, raised his head, and paused.

On the other side, Brother Liu was waiting for him with a person.

It's waiting for the light.

His eyes fell, and now the leg that could support him to walk normally was obviously fitted with a prosthesis.

After a moment of stunned, Song Ju'an walked over quickly.

Brother Liu smiled and said, "I saw him the same as the captain today, you chatted, and I went back to the duty room." ”

When the person left, Hou Guangyi stepped forward and saluted.

Song Ju'an looked him up and down, and couldn't help but feel relieved to see that the person was standing firm, full of energy, and a lot stronger.

His eyes were red, and he quickly reached out and patted Hou Guang's shoulders, "Don't stand here, go, talk to me about what you've been doing this year." ”

Hou Guang nodded and followed him to the dormitory building.

The sun is setting and the temperature is just right.

The two sat on the steps in front of the dormitory, facing the photo on the billboard.

Hou Guang said that he is now working as a security guard in a community, and he usually helps to move goods, which is not busy but comfortable, and he really lives a small life.

Song Ju'an smiled and said, "It's good." ”

Hou Guang lowered his head and waited for a long time: "I should have come a long time ago." ”

His hands stirred, and Song Ju'an didn't speak.

"I saw the news and rushed here, I knew it was too late, but I wanted to come and see it. Hou Guang covered his face, propped his elbows on his thighs, and sniffed.

"On the way, I called Zheng Yan and knew that he had also retired, and the kid told me that he had to work for ten or eight years, but I said that it was not enough, and I had to do my part...... It's only been a year, why is this like this......"

Song Ju'an's shoulders slowly fell, as if he remembered something, his eyes were fixed for a long time, and then he looked at Hou Guang and said, "It's all in the past, for Zheng Yan, at least the future life is safe." ”

Hou Guang rubbed his face on his arm and raised it: "Captain, how long are you going to do it?"

"I'm ......," he said, pulling out the tail and turning his head away, as if in serious thought.

He smiled and said, "Let's take one step at a time." ”

Hou Guang only understood the literal meaning and did not ask.

He stood up, walked over to the billboard, and looked carefully at every photo inside, including him.

Sometimes, he would point to a photo and tell the story behind it.

Song Ju'an responded with a smile.

Later, Hou Guang could no longer speak.

Behind him, Song Ju'an stopped smiling and no longer looked at the propaganda board, but slowly raised his head and looked at the sky as night fell.

The night is coming.

The deep sense of exhaustion enveloped me again.

He still can't find a way to save himself, or he doesn't want to be redeemed.

Luo Qingqiang said that his current psychological state is not suitable for another task, and the best thing to do is to leave here for a short time, from forgetting to relieving, is the most important thing to do at the moment.

Song Ju'an still remembers how he answered.

He said, "I can, I can, I can." ”

After saying it three times in a row, his voice became lower and lower, but his eyes became more persistent and hard.

The memory pulled back to reality, and he walked up to Hou Guang, "When will you go back?"

"Tomorrow morning. ”

"Where are you staying tonight?"

"I have a friend here, so I live with him. ”

Song Ju'an was silent for a while, and said, "When you get out of here, you can live your own life, and there are ...... If you meet the right one, you will become a family. ”

Hou Guang just chuckled silently.

After that, he exchanged a few words with the other team members, and was about to leave in a blink of an eye.

Outside the door, the waiting light stops first.

He looked at Song Ju'an and said, "I don't know when I will come next time, captain, take care." ”

Song Ju'an smiled faintly: "Take care of yourself." ”

Seeing Houguang get in the car and leave, Song Ju'an turned around and went back.

At night, it rained outside the window, and the raindrops smashed on the window, crackling, and making people restless for no reason.

The night was entangled with the cold rain, and until one o'clock in the morning, the storm did not subside.

Someone had just fallen asleep and woken up from a nightmare.

The dormitory was covered with a layer of stagnant water, and the rain fell rapidly, thunder and a few lightning bolts struck the eyes.

Song Ju'an withdrew his gaze from the window and sat down with his hands on the wall.

When the lightning struck, the room was briefly brightened, and the first thing I saw was the empty bed.

He jerked his head down, pressed his calf with one hand, and his chest fell together, and it didn't take long for green tendons to appear on his forehead.

When was the last time he went to the hospital, he can't remember exactly.

The pain at this time was like a reminder of what he had forgotten during this time.

At some point, a faint glow shone from under the pillow, which was particularly conspicuous at night.

Song Ju'an took a deep breath, stood up with his support on the ground, and dragged his legs to the side of the bed with difficulty.

He sat down and reached for his phone.

It's a message.

Siwei: On Sunday, I'll go to the temple alone to make a vow, the team needs you more.

The screen dimmed, Song Ju'an closed his eyes, endured the pain in his legs, relieved his breath and then unlocked and opened the phone.

He didn't reply, clicking on the weather, which showed that it would rain for the next three days.

Putting down the phone, Song Ju'an lay back on the bed and pressed the sore spot hard.

This night, it was difficult to sleep again.

Two days later is Saturday, after the end of training, Song Ju'an asked for leave and left the team.

He hadn't called Swei beforehand, and when he passed, it was completely dark.

Standing at the door, he knocked on the door first, but no one answered for a long time.

Thinking that it might be overtime, I found the key and opened the door to enter.

When he came back from work, Siwei stepped into the community with his front foot, and was shouted to stop with his back foot.

When she heard the voice, she frowned, visibly disgusted.

After a moment's consideration, she didn't hear it, and continued walking.

Shen Shuyi followed her all the way to the elevator, reached the 27th floor, and went out together.

Si Wei walked in front, and after turning the corner, he felt that the people behind him were still following, so he simply stopped holding back.

She turned her head and her eyes sank: "Is there something wrong?"

Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, "I'm going abroad tomorrow." She stopped, observed Si Wei's expression, and did not see any change, "Your Uncle Zhao has a movie to make, I am leaving, I am going to stay abroad for more than a year, if you have anything in life, please contact me at any time." ”

She was gentle and soft-spoken, and her attitude was very good.

Siwei didn't answer, and there was no ripple in his dark eyes, and he always looked at her calmly.

On the contrary, Shen Shuyi lost her confidence first, she hurriedly lowered her head and rummaged through her bag, and soon, she found a key.

"I know that the contract of the house you live in now is about to expire, and there is no need to renew it when the time comes, and the house I said before is not fake, this is the key. ”

As she spoke, she took Swei's arm in one hand and tried to shove the key into her hand.

Siwei exerted a force on his arm and got rid of it.

Shen Shuyi withdrew her hand and whispered, "I don't want you to owe me anything, besides, this is what I owe you." ”

"Then I tell you, you don't owe me anything. Siwei immediately spoke up, "You don't have to do this again and again, I don't care at all." ”

Shen Shuyi was speechless for a while, and slowly regained her demeanor: "In a city like Shencheng, renting a house is not a long-term solution, having a house of your own is equivalent to having a home, you don't want to be stubborn in this kind of thing." ”

With that, she made a gesture to stuff the key again.

Si Wei took half a step back, and there was not even a hint of impatience on his face: "I will have my own home, but it is not an ordinary house as you call it." ”

With that, she left.

When she walked to the door, Shen Shuyi suddenly burst out: "Are you still together?"

Siwei ignored it and took the key to open the door.

"There is something wrong with his psychology, such a person will only delay you!"

The key was inserted into the lock cylinder, and Swei's attention was drawn by her words, and he turned around hesitantly.

Reading the question in her eyes, Shen Shuyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "My person told me that he went to a psychological counseling center a few days ago. A month ago, his comrade-in-arms died, and it was a great blow to him to think about it......"

"You're following him?" interrupted Si Weiping.

“...... Yes, but I care about you, no matter what way I use, I don't want you to waste your time on someone who doesn't deserve it, I'm thinking about you. ”

As everyone knows, these words are already the heaviest kidnapping.

Swaye looked at her at first, then gradually looked away and settled somewhere on the wall.

Her voice was much softer: "You are a person with a family, don't meddle in my business anymore." ”

She turned, turning the lock.

A moment before the door opened, she heard, "Even if you like him now, think about your future." ”

The door opened and closed, and quickly, everything was cut off.

Swei leaned feebly against the door, distracted by the light in the room.

"It's back. Song Ju'an came out of the kitchen.

Si Wei immediately stood up straight, facing his appearance without a sign, and couldn't accept it for a while.

"I have vegetables at home, I tried to fry a few dishes, except for the lack of salt, the taste is okay. He walked over and took her hand, took her to the faucet to wash her hands, and took a towel to dry it.

Si Wei sat down in his seat, watching him busy and bringing the dishes to the table.

The meal was very quiet, and no one took the initiative to break the atmosphere.

As he said, the taste was light, and while eating, Si Wei actually felt that he had eaten a bitter taste.

After the meal, Song Ju'an insisted on washing the dishes, but Si Wei didn't fight with him, and went back to the house to find the quilt.

It was starting to rain outside again, and a chill seeped into the living room.

On a rainy night, it is suitable to lie down in the quilt early, which will be very pleasant.

There was no one in the bedroom, so Song Ju'an took in a cup of hot water and put it on the bedside table.

The rain was so loud that it drowned out all the rest, including footsteps.

Swei stood in the doorway for a moment, slowly, approaching him, and then reached out and put his hand around his waist, carefully pasting it.

Being so close that I could smell the faint smell of tobacco on him.

She never said that she didn't want him to smoke, although she didn't reject the smell.

Song Ju'an didn't move, "What's wrong?"

"Tonight, can you sleep with me?" Si Wei raised his eyes and saw his tense back, and added: "There is thunder in the night, and I have been awakened a lot in the past few days. ”

Hearing her seriously, Song Ju'an finally agreed.

In the middle of the night, the two lay beside each other in their clothes, facing the ceiling, each with their own thoughts.

There was a muffled thunder outside the window, and there was a strange silence in the bedroom.

After a long time, Si Weicai said, "If this rain falls until tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the monastery." ”

Song Ju'an replied: "Then don't go, there is standing water on the road, and most of the roads up the mountain are not safe." ”

Xu was through the sound of rain, and he always felt that his voice was a little hoarse.

Si Wei turned his face slightly to the side and observed him in the dark: "I feel like you're tired." ”

"It's a little. As he spoke, he blinked slowly, as if he was trying to resist sleepiness.

Si Wei turned over, snuggled up to him, and said, "Then sleep." Good night. ”

Song Ju'an tilted his head to the side and closed his eyes.

In this way, they are closer.

Si Wei has a problem, when it rains, she always keeps turning over in her sleep, and tonight is the same, but this time, she opened her eyes first as soon as she turned over.

The first reaction was to peek at Song Ju'an's condition and find that he didn't wake up and slept very deeply.

Probably he was really tired.

Si Wei lightly tucked the quilt on his side, closed his eyes again, and quickly fell asleep by sleepiness.

In the dark, her breathing was steady and long, and Song Ju'an opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear.
