12. Chapter XII

Hu Zhong is a very steady person, don't look at it as a military attachΓ©, but he is actually careful.

He knew that Xu Huaimeng was anxious to see Huo Hui, and he also knew Huo Hui's temper, so he got people into the car and didn't go anywhere else, so he asked the driver to go around an air base more than ten kilometers behind the compound, where there was an artificial lake, a large row of willow tree promenades were built, and there was a lake pavilion in the middle.

After getting out of the car, the two walked to the lake together, Hu Zhong said, you have been outside in the past few years, although the chief is in Beijing, but I have been thinking about you in my heart. Before you went to Sichuan with the group, there was a mudslide in that place, he heard that everyone in the office was panicked, grabbed me and said over and over again, saying that you are there, and then found someone to contact the place, and after making sure that you were gone, he sat on the small sofa for a long time without speaking.

Huo Hui didn't make a sound when she heard this, she listened with her head bored, she knew that Hu Zhong was telling her father that she was good to her.

Hu Zhong also said that he has seen a lot of age in the past three years, his hair is gray quickly, and he asked the orderly to dye it, and within half a month, the new white stubble grew again, and then he simply stopped dyeing, saying that's it, maybe one day you saw it on TV, and your heart softened, and you came back. Tell me, a sixty-year-old man, it's hard for him to think of this way to comfort himself, and when he speaks, he looks like a child.

One day when he was having dinner at night, there were green bamboo shoots and shrimp on the table, he took a bite, and then remembered that you love to eat this, and the meal was not good. Last year's New Year, Daewoo came back, the two of them said a few words and didn't talk about it, Daewoo said something angry, and the chief dumped him on the spot with an ear scraper, you don't know the strength of his hand, Daewoo's eardrum was almost not perforated.

Huo Hui finally loosened a little, curled the corners of his lips, and asked Hu Zhong, what did he say angrily? Are you trying to find someone to kill me outside?

Hu Zhong laughed and patted Huo Hui on the shoulder, in fact, Daewoo is just happy and happy, and he can't get over this in his heart, not at you, although you two don't deal with each other, but I can see that he loves you a lot. After you left, he and Si Liang had a big fight, and smashed the restaurant where you often go, and the two of them stayed in the hospital for half a month, and the injuries were not light, and Si Liang's ribs were fractured, and the sea of people was alarmed.

Seeing that it was Daewoo and Si Liang's gang of boys looking for a reason to fight, they actually understood in their hearts that he didn't want to watch you being bullied and complain about you!

And at the end of this year, the chief elder was sent to the hospital for rescue, and when he was pushed into the operating room, so many people surrounded him, and he didn't see anyone, so he secretly told me that if this operation can't be done, I must find you to come back to attend the funeral, even if you are tied up, you will be tied back.

Hu Zhong didn't paint much when he talked about these things, but those pictures seemed to float in front of him.

Huo Hui lowered his head and said, "Uncle Hu, don't say it." ”

"I'll go, you can find a time."

What I want is this sentence, Hu Zhong thought to himself that this stone had finally landed, and pointed back to the car, go, go, I will send you back.

Next week, I will arrange for you, and I will not delay you from going to work, and I will ask the driver to pick you up after work.

The car stopped at the north gate of the compound, Huo Hui walked home alone, at more than ten o'clock, everything was quiet, occasionally the night wind blew rows of poplars, and the leaves rustled.

The circuit maintenance in the area in front of the family building, there are no street lights recently, and a black Audi is quietly dormant downstairs in the gray three-story building.

It stopped silently opposite the small building, so quiet that it almost melted into the night. The car was polished very brightly, and the windows were covered with a dark coating, so you couldn't see the inside clearly.

Huo Hui walked to the door of the unit alone and was about to reach out and pull the door.

Suddenly.

A bright headlight came at her from behind!

The lights of this car are very arrogant, the xenon on both sides, the LED high beam modified on the front, and the white flowers are lit, as if they are intentional.

At this moment, Huo Hui's figure was completely exposed/exposed in the dark.

She was not afraid, nor was she surprised, she was silent for a few seconds, Huo Hui turned around lightly and squinted at the person in the car.

Shen Siliang put one hand on the steering wheel, the window was half lowered, looking at her and smiling!

He laughed with a ruffian, with the smugness of a child, as if he had succeeded in a prank.

After seeing the people in the car clearly, Huo Hui slowly opened her eyes, she stood very straight, just looked at him, not angry, not embarrassed, as quiet as Wang Shui.

One of them was in the car and the other was outside the car, separated by a distance of a few meters, and neither of them moved the place first.

The scorching light shook Huo Hui's eyes suddenly, and she refused to blink, and soon a layer of mist accumulated under her eyes.

After a minute, Shen Siliang finally loosened a little.

He turned off his headlights, turned off the fire, and Lisso opened the door and got out of the car. The moment the headlights went out, it was dark again, except for the faint street lamps peeking through the dense poplars in the distance.

Occasionally, a night breeze blows.

Shen Siliang leaned against the car door, lowered his head and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and shook the lighter.

Huo Hui stood on the steps and called him in a clear voice: "Shen Siliang." ”

Shen Siliang replied in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

She likes to call him Shen Siliang, call him by his first name, and it's crisp.

Huo Hui walked down the steps, his black and white eyes staring at him: "Your new girlfriend is really ugly." ”

Shen Siliang grinned, unmoved, and lit the cigarette with his hand on the fire: "My eye for choosing a girlfriend has never been very good. ”

Huo Hui didn't give up, walked towards him, and stood in front of him. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Huo Hui was aggrieved.

She said: "Shen Siliang, I told you before that I had a good life, but in fact, in the past three years, I have not had a good life at all. ”

Shen Siliang took the cigarette from his mouth, looked at her and asked with a smile, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Through a pale white smoke, Huo Hui saw his eyes, indifferent and disgusted, but he still smiled. He used to hate a person, and when he was too lazy to attack because of his face, this was his virtue.

Huo Hui didn't care.

She leaned against his car door and had to tell him a story: "In the first year after leaving Beijing, I followed the group to shoot the Tiansheng Bridge in Guizhou. ”

Huo Hui cheekily asked him, "Do you know what Tianshengqiao is?" It was born between two mountains, arched, formed by natural corrosion, especially hard, only a few hundred years old, when we were in a very remote place, there was no signal, the weather was not good, it was raining, it was all fog, the mountains were very slippery, and when you stepped on it, it was all mud. ”

"Lao Zhao said that to take a panoramic high-altitude landform, you need to climb to a peak of more than 100 meters, do not take the repaired mountain road, but go directly out of the forest, there are few people in the group, there are a lot of equipment that need to be carried, everyone is a laborer, no one cares whether you are a man or a woman, I carried a tripod on my back, a camera, because I walked slowly and fell at the end, I didn't see the pebble when I climbed up, and the soles of my feet slipped and rolled down."

Shen Siliang held a cigarette and remained silent.

As soon as Huo Hui closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to remember that picture, on a muddy and rainy day, she was wearing a jacket, rain boots, carrying a bag on her body, and a tripod on her chest.

The tripod was on her body, her head was on the trunk of the tree, and she rolled dozens of meters away, and she struggled desperately, trying to grab the qiΔ“ that she could grasp, and she was covered in dirty muddy water.

"You know, at that time, my first reaction was that it was over, if I was lucky, I would have fallen to my death, and if I was unlucky, I would have been washed away by the waterfall, and I wouldn't even have a whole corpse."

"But I was lucky, a big rock saved me, and I hit my back on it, leaving a long scar."

Speaking of these lucks, Huo Hui sighed uncomfortably: "Later, we went to a small village in Guangxi, where the language is not understood, the culture is backward, and the villagers are very unfriendly and particularly vicious, even if we say countless times that we just want to take some photos and let more people know about the existence here." ”

"The person in charge of the group took a lot of effort to contact the local county government/government and agreed to let us in, and we borrowed to stay in the farmer's house, but in the middle of the night, the male owner of the farmer's family touched my room while it was dark."

"With his dad."

There was a palpitating silence.

Shen Siliang's hand holding the cigarette didn't move, he and Huo Hui looked at each other, waiting for her to follow.

Huo Hui looked at him for a few seconds, and then smiled brightly at him.

She smiled, but her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red: "One of him and his father covered my mouth, the other pulled my clothes, and when I struggled, they beat me, and their hands were very black, so they hit me in the head, first slapped me, and then kicked with their feet." ”

"At that time, I thought, you said that I have seen so many dirty things with you before, is this a retribution?"

Shen Siliang's hand in his trouser pocket was silently released, and he didn't hurry to grind the cigarette butt against the car door, and he asked her, "And then?" ”

His action of pinching a cigarette is particularly gentle, and he is also very patient, very similar to him, seemingly bland, but often that ruthlessness is all in his bones, and when he lets go, you look down again, what should be in your hand has long been unrecognizable.

Huo Hui stopped talking, she lowered her eyes and looked at the cigarette butt on the ground, not moving for a long time.

"Anything else?"

Shen Siliang frowned, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then turned his head: "It's gone." ”

Huo Hui was angry: "Don't be so picky, I saw it just now, there are a lot of them." ”

Shen Siliang reluctantly took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket and handed it to her mouth. Huo Hui opened his lips and took it, he gave her the fire again, Huo Hui took it, Shen Siliang's lighter was a silver-gray Dupai, and it would make a dull "clang" sound when it was shaken away.

This cigarette is what he has often smoked in the past few years, and it is supplied by the army, white box, no trademark, but it is choking and has a strong taste.

Huo Hui took a sip hard, satisfied, raised his head and said:

"In September, the night was cold, I wore a lot when I went to sleep, layer after layer of clothes, he didn't even take off my sweater, I opened the scoop with a pickaxe, and his crazy father, I was ruthless, hit them straight hey, colleagues in the group heard the movement and swarmed me, took me outside to appease, that issue was not filmed, and then the county government/government gave me 5,000 yuan as compensation in order to beg us not to publish this."

"Five thousand dollars...... It's ironic to think about it, the people in the village have probably never seen so much money in their lives, and on the broken wooden table, there was a pile of red, and on the day we left, they knelt down for me together, and took their four-year-old son with them, saying that they were confused, and they had never seen a woman in the city, and they had a bad heart for a while. ”

"I didn't ask for money, Lao Zhao persuaded me, saying that people didn't suffer any losses, even if this matter was over, the manuscript was not allowed to be written again, he said that we were wrong, a place has long been accustomed to a self-sufficient lifestyle, we should not insist on disturbing other people's lives, he said Huo Hui, people should know how to reflect on their own way of doing things in one thing, I asked him, even if I beat this in vain? Do you know what he says? ”

Shen Siliang was very cooperative, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and shook his head slowly.

Huo Hui grinned: "He said that people should learn to disgust themselves appropriately." ”

"In addition to the sense of justice that is about to come out of my heart, there is also a lot of helplessness behind human feelings."

"Since then, I've seen everything, at the end of last year, we photographed the aurora, the coldest night in the northeast reached more than minus 40 degrees, I squatted in the snow, lit a bonfire, looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly understood a truth."

"I didn't die when I deserved to die, God didn't let me die like this, I have to live like this in this life, it's all fate."

Huo Hui looked at him with red eyes: "I should be tortured like this, and I should repay Xiaohang's debt like this." ”

Finally brought up the most untouchable thing between the two.

She begged him, looking helpless and dazed, Huo Hui said: "Shen Siliang, I have never forgotten this account, but you let yourself go first, and let me go, okay?" ”

She was afraid of him and begged him for mercy.

Can you let it go? That's my own brother's life!!

Shen Siliang begged Huo Hui like this, indifferent to her red eyes, and he asked her, "Can I let you Xiaohang come back?" How are you going to pay this account? ”

Huo Hui was speechless.

She didn't know how to pay it back.

She once thought that separating herself from him was the greatest repayment.

Shen Siliang got in the car and was about to leave, the engine started with a loud noise, Huo Hui finally pierced him, blocked the door with his hand to prevent him from leaving, and yelled at him: "You don't want to forgive me, you don't love me, we don't get along with each other for a long time, what are you doing here at night?" Shen Siliang, dare not say it, you are not a man! ”

"I'm going to change cars!"

Shen Siliang made her anxious, his heart arched outward, he broke Huo Hui's hand on the car door, but he didn't dare to use his strength, her fingers were thin and white, and someone could break it if he was not careful.

"You spread out!"

"Don't sprinkle!" Huo Hui came up with a twist and stretched out his leg to kick him. The kick was so strong that Shen Siliang's thighs were numb.

His temper also arched, and with one foot on the brakes, Huo Hui didn't stand firm and stumbled forward, hitting the door, Shen Siliang got out of the driver's seat, and slipped her collar into the car.

The door was wide open, and Huo Hui was pressed against the driver's seat, and his chin was stuck in the seat. This time, she shouted, "You let me go!" ”

Shen Siliang folded one of her hands unhurriedly, his knee rested on her buttocks, and as soon as he lifted his hand, the clothes were hung up in half, revealing half of the woman's delicate and white back.

Huo Hui desperately kicked his legs to do useless work, and his face was red: "Shen Siliang, you bastard!! ”

Shen Siliang pinched her, very arrogant: "I'm a bastard, and a bastard is with you." ”

Shen Siliang, although he has principles, but there is no lower limit, people come and go in this place, and they all know that they can't come nonsense, but if they can't keep him, they will do something hurtful to him if they are in a hurry.

When the wind blew, his body was cold, and Huo Hui was hairy.

She gasped, her heart pounding.

He lifted the clothes all the way to her neck, and raised his hand to untie the sports vest that Huo Hui was wearing, and now, the woman's entire back was in the bottom of his eyes.

Shen Siliang touched the shoulder blade behind her shoulder with his hand, and gently touched it, that piece of skin was natural, white and flawless, and there was no scar at all.

He asked her, "Didn't you hit the stone, didn't you leave a long scar?" What about scars? ”

Huo Hui was like a punctured ball, deflated.

She was humiliated/humiliated by him on the seat, half/naked, and tears came out at once.

As soon as she sobbed, Shen Siliang became irritable, he let go of her, dressed her, and took the person out.

He knew that the stories she told him, the words she said, were all means. She wanted him to feel sorry for himself and pity himself.

The car brought a gust of wind on the side of the road and left angrily, and Huo Hui stood alone in the vast dark night, still holding his lighter in his hand.

He just said, Huo Hui, don't take yourself so seriously, Xiaohang is Xiaohang, you don't have the face to pay for his life, don't get involved with him, get involved with me, you just die, it has nothing to do with me.

When he said this, he pressed her against the car door and wiped the tears from her face with his fingers, gentle and patient. Like countless times before, as if comforting his most beloved girl.

Shen Siliang is very smart, so smart that he can see through her little tricks at a glance. What she said, and what she told him in the past, was nothing more than wanting to ask him for forgiveness.

She loved him and she wanted to be with him.

But he used a sentence to divide each other's Chu River and Han realms. He said, Huo Hui, you are dead, it has nothing to do with me.

After all, he still refused to forgive her.
