Seeing her husband's emaciated face at the door, with a strap-on on his head, Xu Qiuli suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.

"Okay, don't cry, I'm not back. Wang Youmu patted his wife's back and whispered.

"Woo-woo-woo, I'll never let you out next time, do you know how I got over this time?" Xu Qiuli said while crying

"Okay, I'll never go out into the wild again after listening to you, okay, don't cry. ”

Xu Qiuli raised the head buried in Wang Youmu's arms, gently stroked her husband's injured place with her hand and asked

"How's it hurting, is it still hurting?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just that I was hit by a big rock blown up by a sandstorm, and tomorrow the bureau will arrange to go to the hospital for another check-up, it has been hurting, but now I don't hurt when I see you." Wang Youmu said as he put his arm around his wife's shoulders and walked into the house.

"Well, you'll coax people, I'll go with you tomorrow, I'm a little worried. ”

"What's not to worry about, it's okay, I'll just go by myself tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I haven't gone to work when you come back for the past few days, it's time to go to work tomorrow, I'll give you a hot meal. Xu Qiuli said with a smile.

After eating, Wang Youmu lit a cigarette and sat there in a daze. Xu Qiuli finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, looking at her husband who had been pondering after eating, she felt that Wang Youmu must have encountered something that could not be solved, otherwise she would not be so depressed, she took a glass of water and handed it to Wang Youmu and said

"You try to smoke less, did you forget that you were hospitalized because of a bad trachea last year, the doctor told you to quit smoking, why are you becoming more and more addicted to smoking now? ”

Wang Youmu took the water glass, and then snuffed out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray.

"I'm going to change my habit of smoking when I think about something, and I'll pay attention to it next time. ”

"You're upset about something, you need to smoke so much, or you can tell me. Xu Qiuli said.

Wang Youmu knew that his wife was actually a very thoughtful person, and now it was really necessary to tell her about his troubles, and let her help him think about it, so he told Xu Qiuli everything in Lop Nur in detail.

Xu Qiuli listened very carefully, and after listening to everything Wang Youmu said, she was silent for a while and asked

"Then what do you say you're bothering now?"

"I am actually annoyed by three points: first, Liu Yusheng took the wrong road at first, causing two comrades to be bitten to death by wolves, should I report to the leader? Second, that night, Liu Yusheng was on duty at night because he fell asleep, which caused the sacrifice of the pony, should I say it, and third, I was the first to go back to see the pond, and I am sure that He Tao was attacked by a wolf without dying, so Liu Yusheng left his comrades and walked by himself, how should I tell the leader. ”

Xu Qiuli thought for a while and asked, "You said the first point, Liu Yusheng took the wrong way, so what evidence do you have?"

"Of course, I warned him but he didn't listen. ”

"Who can prove it? Those who can prove it are dead. ”

Wang Youmu fell silent all of a sudden, yes, who can prove it, he himself is the guide, and now he said to the leader that it was Liu Yusheng who led the wrong way, if the leader asked him why he didn't stop it, what should he say, thinking of this, he was upset.

Xu Qiuli looked at her silent husband and continued

"Pony's death, do you think Liu Yusheng will take the initiative to bear the mistake, you just said, that morning, in front of the other two comrades, he actually said that you helped him keep vigil, can you expect him to take the initiative to admit his mistake in such a person?"

When Wang Youmu heard this, he suddenly felt that he thought about some things too simply, and he thought that he would not judge heroes by merit or demerit in everything, as long as he was worthy of his heart, but would others face fame and fortune so calmly?

Xu Qiuli seemed to want to further let her husband see the final result of the matter, and said with a sigh

"I know what kind of person you are, but do you think others will be like this? Besides, Xiao He, do you think the leader will listen to your on-site and your analysis and judgment?"

At this time, Wang Youmu couldn't say a word, and felt that his head was blurry, yes! If he was a person with a conscience for the rest of his life, how could he push the death of the pony upside down to him?

If Liu Yusheng still had a little bit of friendship, how could he throw the poisoned Xiao He, a lonely person, in the Gobi Desert?

"Then what do you think I should do?" asked Wang Youmu.

"Actually, I don't know, I feel that no matter what, Liu Yusheng is meritorious now, and if you have to say that he is guilty and responsible, you are against most people. ”

"What do you mean by this, could it be that he is not only blameless but also a hero?"

Xu Qiuli looked at her husband, who was sometimes a little simple-minded, and said with a smile

"Youmu, you are now a typical fan of the authorities, of course I, a bystander, know it, you don't want to think about why Liu Yusheng desperately wanted to leave Xiao He, why did he not hesitate to turn his face with you at the beginning, but also fought for reason, that is, because he actually knew that his mistake caused the death of his comrades, so he wanted to bring back the news of the salt mine, so that all the blame would not be said, and the possible treatment would be turned into a small matter. ”

"But why did he let me come out first, instead of himself?" Wang Youmu asked with a little unwillingness

"It's scary, it's possible that when he asked you to come out, he had already thought about leaving Xiao He as soon as you left, or it could be that he was really scared, he didn't dare to go for fear of dying in the desert, so he let you go first. ”

Wang Youmu suddenly felt that he was really stupid, and actually let Liu Yusheng play with himself like a monkey for the rest of his life.

The room fell silent again, Xu Qiuli picked up the water cup, walked over to fill the cup with water, and then put it back in Wang Youmu's hand, and continued to sit next to her husband.

"Is there no way to let him climb up step by step on the body of his comrade?" Wang Youmu asked in an unwilling tone.

"Ariki, I really can't tell you now, maybe you think it's cruel for me to say that, but that's the truth, and I'm more worried about you now. Xu Qiuli said slowly.

"What are you worried about me?" Wang Youmu turned around and looked at his wife with a surprised gaze and asked.

"Someone must come out to take some responsibility for this matter, and I'm worried that Liu Yusheng will harm you. ”

"It's good that I don't trouble him now, he wants me to shut up now, and he dares to come to me for trouble!"

"You're wrong, it's not that he's looking for trouble, it's that he's letting the leader come to you for trouble. ”

Wang Youmu stood up suddenly, and said in a cold tone, "Even if it is for Xiao He, I can't bear this breath, I must explain the facts clearly to the leader at that time, I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand for the rest of his life." ”

Xu Qiuli looked at her angry husband, shook her head helplessly, and then said, "Youmu, don't be so excited, you're right, just be worthy of everything, I support you no matter what." ”

Wang Youmu suddenly felt that he was a little out of control, his wife was worried about him, he was already frightened during this time, and now he actually spoke so loudly in front of him, he felt very sorry for this wife who cared about and loved him all the time, and said in a gentle tone

"Qiuli I'm sorry, I was too excited just now, I wasn't targeting you. ”

"I don't know you yet! What will you care about when your bull temper comes up, I understand, don't think so much, rest early, you have to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow morning," Xu Qiuli said with a smile.

Lying on the bed, Wang Youmu couldn't sleep, and after thinking carefully about what happened in Lop Nur in his head, he realized that Xu Qiuli was right, there was no specific evidence in his hands from beginning to end, he suddenly felt bored, and asked himself in his heart, could it be that Xiao He and the others died in such an unknown way?
