19. Chapter 19

Qiu Gaohe said that Lu Zhongjun lives in a staff dormitory building next to the canteen of the Forestry Bureau. There is still a long way to go. It was noon meal time, and there were workers coming and going with lunch boxes on the road.

The closer she got to the dormitory, the slower Anna's pace became.

At first, when she heard Guo Yun's mother say that it was rumored that she was spending the night with Lu Zhongjun, Anna's first reaction was that Lu Zhongjun leaked out, and she was annoyed, and she ran out and wanted to question him. At this moment, the anger in his chest subsided, and his brain gradually became clear.

Guo Yun's mother said that when she spent the night with Lu Zhongjun, her tone was quite firm, it should not be a blind guess, but there is indeed a source. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem that Lu Zhongjun said it.

It doesn't feel like he's that kind of person.

Besides, even if he leaked it out intentionally or unintentionally, wouldn't it be even more truthful for her to run to the dormitory building to find him in the eyes of everyone at noon?

"Comrade, how do I get to the police station?"

Someone on the side suddenly asked her for directions.

Anna turned her head and saw that it was a young girl. Qi bangs, eighteen to nineteen years old, a pair of apricot eyes, very delicate. At first, he seemed to be sitting on the side of the road by the cement planter with a few half-dead holly trees.

Anna gave her detailed directions, the girl thanked her, sighed again, whispered "What a broken place", turned away.

Anna watched the girl's back disappear and turned her head to look in front of her.

The three-story dormitory building next to the cafeteria is not far away.

Anna hesitated for a moment, decided to go back to school first, turned around to leave, and caught a glimpse of a small duffel bag on the ground by the flower bed.

It should have been the girl who fell just now.

Anna picked it up and chased after her quickly, and found that the girl was walking so fast that she could no longer see anyone.

Since she asked for the direction of the police station, she naturally went to the police station.

Anna could have taken the bag to the police station to return it. It's just that after tossing back and forth like this, she may not be able to catch the first class time when she goes to school again.

On the side of the road not far from the opposite side, there is a stall that repairs bicycles and equips keys, and the stall owner Anna knows and lives not far from Aunt Li Mei's house.

Anna hesitated and decided to see if there were any valuables in the bag, if there were no valuables, she would put the bag at the garage and wait for the girl to think of losing the bag herself, and come back to get it.

Anna unzipped. I saw that there were some clothes, a few books, and a picture frame with a photo embedded in it. Glancing at the photo, his gaze froze, and after a few seconds, he picked up the frame.

It's a seven-inch black-and-white photograph of a fighter jet in the background, and on the nose and wings of the fighter plane, sit or lean on four or five men in pilot suits, looking like cadets.

The people in the photo are very young, and every face is full of smiles, giving people a strong sense of "just a young student, in his prime".

In the lower right corner of the photo, there is a line written in a black pen: XX Air Force Aviation Academy, 197X graduation commemoration. The font is rugged and very personal.

Anna recognized it at a glance, and the one sitting on the nose in the middle was Lu Zhongjun.

Her gaze fell firmly on the photograph, and gradually, the whole person fell into an indescribable shock.

What shocked her was that it was not such a coincidence, the girl just now happened to have something to do with Lu Zhongjun. Instead, she remembered that she had seen this picture somewhere else before.

About seven or eight years ago, the summer of her junior high school graduation, her father took her to a high-end nursing home in another place to visit a seriously ill elderly man who was dying.

Her father told him that the old man was her grandfather's old comrade-in-arms, and that his father was also the old man's subordinate before he changed jobs in his early years. This old man originally had a son, a first-class pilot who had made many meritorious contributions. But unfortunately, once on a test flight mission, when passing over a populated area, the fuselage malfunctioned, and he could have used a parachute to abandon the plane to escape, but gave up the opportunity and forcibly piloted the fighter to a safe area where no one was many, and finally it was too late to get out, and the plane was destroyed and people died.

This happened about 20 years ago. The old man's son was only 27 years old when he died.

According to the father, the old man was deeply proud of his son. But in the first few years of his death, because of some other things, the relationship between father and son was not good, even to the point of breaking off contact, and this relationship lasted until the day the bad news came. The old man was deeply affected and had been sad and remorseful all these years. So my father told Anna that when we met, we must try to make him happy.

Seven or eight years had passed, and the old man had passed away shortly after their visit. Anna had forgotten about it.

But now, the photo in her hand has pulled her memory back.

She remembers very well that when she and her father went to visit the old man that day, there was this yellowed old photo on the bedside table in his hospital room. The emaciated old man regarded it as a treasure, and with a smile on his face, he pointed with a trembling finger to the man sitting in the middle of the machine and told Anna that the high-spirited young man in the photograph was his son, and that he had written the line below.

When I was writing at that time, probably the ink was not dry, and my hand may have accidentally dragged it down, and the last two "souvenirs" were dragged out of an ink mark.

And at this moment, the photo in her hand, the last word "souvenir", also has such an ink mark.

Anna stared at Lu Zhongjun in the photo, racking her brains to recall all the details when she and her father went to visit the old chief, and finally remembered that she called the old man "Grandpa Lu" at that time.

Anna was completely stunned. Staring at the photo in his hand, he didn't move, and he didn't even notice when the girl came back.

"Ahh

Anna raised her eyes, only to realize that the girl had been found. Not only that, but Lu Zhongjun also appeared with her.

He stood behind him, one hand in his trouser pocket, his eyes falling on hers.

"My bag!" The girl saw that the bag was still there, showed a relieved expression, and hurriedly ran over.

Anna came back to her senses, hurriedly put back the photo frame that was still in her hand, barely held her mind, and explained to the girl: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to turn over your bag." I just saw that you were left behind, I rushed to school, I didn't have time to send it to the police station, just now I wanted to see if there were any valuables in it, if not, put it at the car repair stall opposite and wait for you to come back to pick up ......"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay! I want to thank you!"

The girl picked up the photo frame, waved it back, and said happily: "Lu Zhongjun, look, I helped you bring this photo too, and I also specially framed it! Fortunately, I didn't lose it! I was scared to death just now!"

Lu Zhongjun showed a doting smile on the corner of his lips, walked over to look at the photo, and then his eyes fell on Anna's face.

Anna had not yet recovered from the great shock brought to her by this photograph just now, her face was not very good, and as soon as she looked at the Chinese army on the land, there was a strange and indescribable sense of vanity in her heart, a bit like a dream, she nodded at him indiscriminately, bowed her head and hurried away.

Lu Zhongjun turned his head, and his eyes kept falling on her back.

"Look at people's beautiful parents! You still look!" the girl snapped on his shoulder, "I took the train for dozens of hours to see you, and I want to surprise you, and you only care about looking at others?"

Lu Zhongjun turned his head and flicked the girl's forehead with his fingers, "What a surprise, it's just a fright! If you come, you won't say hello in advance so that I can pick you up! It's a miracle that you didn't get lost!"

"Stinky Lu Zhongjun, you're still bullying me!" the girl shouted.

Lu Zhongjun laughed, rubbed her hair dotingly, and lifted her luggage.

"Let's go, haven't eaten yet, are we? First of all, there is only canteen food here, if you want to dislike it, then go hungry!"

"What a place to be, I said how are you going to stay-"

……

Anna had been sleepwalking all afternoon, feeling uneasy about the coincidence that had happened to her.

Is the current Lu Zhongjun really the son of the old man surnamed Lu who died twenty years ago that she heard about when she graduated from junior high school?

If so, and the one about Lu Zhongjun will continue to develop according to what she knows, that is, in another year or two, he will ...... That's it.

The feeling was so strange that it made her very uncomfortable.

Because she was going to the city to participate in the New Year's Day show in a few days, after school, Anna cheered up and stayed as originally planned to rehearse the show again, and after the end, let the students go first, and sat alone in the classroom in a daze for a while, and finally the sky outside the window began to darken, she finally got up and closed the doors and windows, and walked through the empty campus to the school gate. When I left the school gate and lowered my head and walked in the direction of Aunt Li Mei's house, I heard a short car horn behind me. When she looked back, she saw the car parked in the corner of the fence that she had become familiar with, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Zhongjun got out of the car and walked quickly to her.

"Xiao Qiu said that you went to the office to find me at noon?

His gaze fell on her face, and he asked in a flat tone.

Anna lowered her eyelids: "It's nothing...... I'll go back first......"

Lu Zhongjun looked at her departing back, frowned slightly, and said again: "Nothing happened to you, right? If you come to me for something, just say it!"

Anna stopped, turned around slowly, and said, "Well, there's something going on...... I just don't know that it's inconvenient for you. Didn't you arrest some people last night, there was a woman named Guo Yun in it, and it was my neighbor...... She's usually pretty good...... Maybe someone took it over...... If only it were convenient......"

Her voice lowered.

"It's called Guo Yun, right?" Lu Zhongjun hummed, "I know." ”

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he agreed.

"That...... Thank you, Lu Zhongjun...... Then I don't have anything else to do, I'll go first......"

Anna glanced at him, bowed her head and turned away.

"Hey, are you alright?"

She walked a few steps and heard his voice behind her sound again.

"It's okay, it's really okay—" Anna didn't reply, and replied indiscriminately.

"The woman at noon is my sister, named Lu Xiaolin, who came to see me," Lu Zhongjun said suddenly.

Anna was slightly stunned, stopped, and slowly turned her head.

After Lu Zhongjun finished speaking, his expression was a little unnatural, and he added: "I want to thank you for helping her pick up the bag." My sister is quite careless, and she hasn't improved at all when she's so old. ”

"It's okay, it should be. ”

Lu Zhongjun's gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds.

"That's it, let's go, you can go back too!" nodded at her, turned around and strode into the car, and quickly left.
