Chapter 10: Past and Present Lives
Looking back now, Ye Han still felt funny, and said: "I didn't expect the two of us, one is a soldier and the other is a student, to climb the wall and escape in order to avoid the police!"
Hu Lingxi seemed to smile too, she looked at this handsome man stupidly, and what he said to Lin Dan still echoed in her brain.
The reason why he didn't hit Lin Dan was because he felt that Lin Dan was still saved, but for others, he didn't hesitate to be heavy-handed, because they were hooligans.
She thought Ye Han's approach was very interesting, and he was not only unfazed, but also chic and upright, like her deceased brother.
"By the way, do you want to ask why I am so familiar with the environment there?" they walked and walked, Hu Lingxi suddenly said.
Ye Han turned his head in surprise and said with a smile: "How do you know?
Hu Lingxi said unconfidently: "I'm not sure, but even if you don't ask, I will say it, because I don't want anyone to misunderstand!"
After a pause, she continued, "Actually, it wasn't a nightclub, it was a small playground! I used to hang out with my brother, so I was very familiar with it." It wasn't until my brother went to join the army that I often asked my friends in the village to play with me. Later, when I went to high school, I had a lot of schoolwork, and the playground went out of business without realizing it. By the time I wanted to play again, it had turned into a couple of nightclubs. ”
After speaking, Hu Lingxi stopped, turned around to face Ye Han, and asked softly, "Ye Han, is my brother really dead?"
Ye Han nodded neatly!
Hu Lingxi's lips trembled slightly, and he asked, "Who killed him?"
Ye Han exhaled, as if he didn't want to mention it, but he still spoke: "It's a foreigner!"
Tears were already overflowing from the corners of Hu Lingxi's eyes, and she asked slowly word by word, "What is his identity?"
Ye Han shook his head and said: "It may be a soldier or a drug trafficker, but no matter who violates the border of Huaxia and brings guns from other countries privately, we will give a warning first, and if the warning is ineffective, we will use weapons!"
Hu Lingxi sobbed: "Then did you help my brother avenge?"
Ye Han nodded resolutely, his eyes flashed with an unshakable divine light, and said, "After your brother helped me block that bullet, the bullet on my gun also hit his forehead!"
"That'...... Woo woo ~ woo woo ~ " Hu Lingxi wanted to say something again, but the acid water in her body couldn't stop pouring out, and she couldn't speak, so she had to put her forehead against Ye Han's chest.
Ye Han didn't speak again, he knew that Hu Lingxi was very sad, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
Now the only thing he can do is to give her a shoulder and a lean!
How he wished that the man who was shot was him.
It's seven o'clock in the evening, and the summer night wind is quietly blowing, accompanied by a hint of coolness. On the sidewalks on both sides of this highway, only Ye Han and Hu Lingxi remained.
The two of them are like a brown and black roadside art statue, motionless, quietly pestle there.
Both of them have mixed feelings, one is the loss of a close relative, and the other is the loss of a sibling.
Even though time can erase the edges and corners of pain, the scars in the heart cannot be repaired in just a few days.
This summer is definitely the longest and the most unforgettable.
At about eight o'clock, after Hu Lingxi calmed down, Ye Han took her back.
More than ten meters away from Hu's clinic, Ye Han smelled the aroma of food wafting from the clinic, but this refreshing fragrance seemed to be more bitter than that night sand and Afoet.
Outside the clinic, a middle-aged man was holding on to the handle of his wheelchair and was unmoving.
The night was dark, and the hazy mist allowed to disperse in the air, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
His body was slightly rickety, and his figure was slightly trembling, as if he had been standing there for a long, long time.
Ye Han and Hu Lingxi walked up to him.
Ye Han took the lead and shouted softly: "Uncle Hu!"
Hu Lingxi then shouted: "Dad!"
Under the light, there were a few more wrinkles on Hu's father's face, and the silver threads on his head had covered most of his head in the night.
Probably after hearing the news of Hu Xiu's death, his body couldn't bear it, and suddenly he got a lot older.
When he saw that Hu Lingxi was safe and sound, he forced a smile on his face and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!
As soon as Hu Lingxi wanted to speak, Ye Han interjected and said: "It's okay, I went to the river to find her, she was crying there alone, so I chatted with her for a long time, and finally made her feel better, so I brought her back." ”
Father Hu nodded reassuringly.
Hu Lingxi looked up at the man, he hadn't known her for even a day, but within this day, he actually saved her twice in a row.
The reason why he replied like this was just that he didn't want Hu's father to worry about his daughter.
Although such a man is resolute and calm, kind-hearted, moody, and thoughtful about everything, he is never soft on those who touch the bottom line.
Probably this is what a soldier should look like!
The corners of Hu Lingxi's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but be moved, and his face finally overflowed with a faint amount of gratitude.
"Let's go, let's go back. I've already heated the food in the microwave several times!" Father Hu smiled.
Afterwards, Ye Han and Hu Lingxi walked into the clinic together with Hu's father.
The dishes on the table include Sixi meatballs, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, tomato noodles, stewed pork ribs with basil, and a large bowl of boiled cabbage.
Of course, there are no two pots!
Although Hu's clinic is not big, it is the only one in Zhichuan Town, and everyone has to come to this clinic to see a doctor and grab medicine.
This clinic not only sells Chinese medicine, but also Western medicine, and Hu's father is a doctor who is involved in both Chinese and Western medicine.
Therefore, the lives of Hu Lingxi and Hu's father are relatively good, but such a fragile family is often bullied by gangsters in society.
Ye Han has been in the army for so long, and the best dishes he has ever eaten are nothing more than these.
The three of them sat around a small square table, and no one moved their chopsticks first.
There is a bowl of fragrant white rice in each direction of the table.
Ye Han knew that the empty chair and the bowl of rice must have been left for Hu Xiu.
He thought to himself that if Hu Xiu could come back with him, then he didn't know how delicious this meal would be?
Father Hu put on the wine, handed the cup to Hu Lingxi, and said in a slightly heavy voice in a rough voice: "Toast to your brother!"
Hu Lingxi raised his wine glass, looked at the empty chair and the bowl of white rice, and said weakly: "Brother, I know that you can't do without wine in the army, this glass of wine, I respect you, I hope you can have a safe journey in heaven!"
With that, she poured the wine on the ground.
Father Hu also raised his cup and said in a low voice: "Son, you are a hero! Defend the country and die on the battlefield, you are good!"
Although Father Hu said so heroically, his voice kept trembling, and now he could only use these words of praise to soothe the pathos in his heart.
Ye Han also raised his cup and said to the empty chair: "Brother, I owe you a life, Uncle Hu and Hu Lingxi I will definitely help you take care of it." ”
After the toast, the three of them moved the dishes and chopsticks together, and no one spoke during this period, thinking about their own affairs, and it was terrifyingly quiet in all directions.
The meal was not only heavy, but also tasteless.
Suddenly, Ye Han opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Hu, Hu Xiu's ashes are still buried in the Galaxy Martyrs Garden, I wanted to bring the ashes back, but I need my family to pick them up in person, you see when it will ......."
Ye Han stopped when he said this, and looked at the old middle-aged man quietly.
The middle-aged man swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "When I'm done with this while, I'll find a way to bring Lingxi over." ”
Ye Han smiled: "It's better for the three of us to go over together!"
Father Hu nodded, and continued to turn on the dishes and chopsticks, and the room was quiet again, and it seemed that he could no longer find any topics.
In fact, it's not that there is nothing to say, but because in such a mood, who has the leisure to speak, and who can make cold jokes?
And Hu Lingxi lowered his head on the side, chewing the white rice in the bowl silently. On the table, she only ate a few bites and didn't stretch out her chopsticks again.
Soon, Father Hu finally opened his mouth to Ye Han and asked, "Your name is ......"
Ye Han hurriedly swallowed the meal, and said in a hurry, "My name is Ye Han!"
"Ye Han!" Father Hu nodded and said, "Hu Xiu and you are good friends?"
"Not just good friends, we are comrades-in-arms, brothers, and roommates in a dormitory. ”
Father Hu asked curiously, "Then you are studying Chinese medicine?"
Ye Han replied honestly: "Yes, I major in Chinese medicine, but I also study Western medicine!"
"Why did you choose to study medicine in the first place?"
Ye Han suddenly stopped his chopsticks and slowly raised the wine glass, the wine glass almost covered his face, as if there was something unspeakable.
Then, he drank his wine and said, "Because when I was young, my parents died in a car accident." At the moment when the two cars collided, my parents protected me with their bodies. Subsequently, everyone in the car was taken to the hospital, and I was resuscitated, but my parents have already died!"
He poured another full bottle of wine, poured it down his throat, and then said wistfully, "So I swear that I will be a doctor, and I will not allow any dead people to be seen in front of my eyes again." It's just ......"
He suddenly smiled again, and then said, "It's just that my vow can't be fulfilled at all. ”
Hu Lingxi and Father Hu didn't expect that Ye Han was also a poor person, they could even imagine what a sad and miserable scene it was when he saw Hu Xiu die in front of him.
He chose to be a doctor in order to treat diseases and save people, but he still couldn't save his teammates, so he could only watch him struggle and die in his own hands.
However, the man in front of him, after saying these words, except for the bloodshot eyes, did not shed a single tear, except for the sharp fluctuations in his throat, it was obvious that he had swallowed all the tears into his stomach.
Father Hu smiled kindly and said, "I didn't expect my question to make you think of these painful pasts. You yourself are in such a situation, and you are so willing to help us, Hu Xiu is so lucky to be able to make a good friend like you!"
Ye Han lowered his head and sighed sadly: "Being able to make a friend like Hu Xiu, I am already content in this life!"
After eating, Ye Han returned to his room.
It's eleven o'clock in the evening, and he opens the photos on his phone, which is the time he spent with his comrades.
They used to fight together, drink together, pick up girls together, play games together, and run together on rainy nights.
Although their days are a bit bitter, they live every day on the tip of the knife and the tip of the gun, but they are heart-to-heart and integrated.
But all of this is gone.
Now Ye Han only wants to fulfill Hu Xiu's wish, as for other things, he has no thoughts.
