Chapter 21 Friendship in the Cold War Difficulties Entering the armed forces was in distress at the beginning
Jinhua got what he wanted, He Rong saw her like a beast avoiding a flood for a few days, either pretending not to see it and leaving in a hurry, or saying hello and posing with a good etiquette but rejecting people, Jinhua knew that He Rong's behavior was angry with her, but he still didn't want to take the initiative to apologize to him. What's more, she didn't do anything wrong in the first place, at least she thought so.
It's just that he didn't expect that what He Rong did this time was really out of line, he invited someone Xu who came back from Yanshan and a plaid suit to join the gang, preparing to explore Kublai Khan's underwater mausoleum together.
He Rong knew that she had a grudge with Xu and the plaid suit, and even invited him without notice, Jinhua was quite impatient and looked for He Rong twice.
And this time, He Rong looked at her, still looking businesslike, and said that she should restrain her personal contradictions.
There was a deliberate detachment in his eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth was as stiff as a stone carving, Jinhua couldn't get used to his pretended gentleness, obviously he wanted to tear her up and chew it and eat it, but he had to pretend to be a gentleman.
"He Rong, what do you want?!" Jin Hua held his breath in his heart, couldn't look at He Rong, and couldn't help but slap his hand on his table.
He Rong's expression was faint, he looked at her and smiled: "What do you want me to do?" ”
"You know that I don't have a relationship with your cousin surnamed Xu, why do you invite them to join the gang." J Jinhua's chest fell together, gritted his teeth and questioned him.
"Even if you don't go to the grave, I'll invite them." He looked at her with a calm face, his eyes as clear as water. It was as if what he said was completely true, and he didn't fool her.
Jinhua looked at him, squeezed her hand under the table, she took a deep breath, and said, "He Rong, you are not the kind of person who involves personal feelings into work. ”
He Rong raised her eyebrows, lowered her head and flipped the pages of the book in her hand, not wanting to answer her.
Jinhua sat in front of him, watching him flip through the book, and stretched out his hand to close his book, He Rong still lowered his head.
Silence, long silence.
He Rong opened the book again, he put his fingers crossed on the paper, and then he opened it with one hand, took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer, he smoked it, and handed the cigarette case to Jinhua, Jinhua wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he retracted his hand in anger. He Rong didn't let her and put the cigarette back.
He struck matches, lit cigarettes, and shook his hands. The match fell into the spittoon at his feet with no mistake, and there was water in the spittoon, and the match quickly went out.
Jinhua watched the match go out, rubbed his fingers, and wanted to speak.
At this time, He Rong suddenly put his two feet on the table, leaned on his mahogany Taishi chair, and swallowed the clouds.
Jinhua was separated from him by a layer of white mist, she could sometimes see his face, sometimes she could only see the scarlet glowing little red dots, He Rong looked very ruffian smoking, different from his usual appearance, Jinhua looked at him, and suddenly felt that He Rong in front of him was a little unfamiliar, she was stunned, what she wanted to say, but she didn't say it.
Soon, He Rong finished smoking a cigarette, and when the smoke dissipated, he sat up straight in front of her.
After smoking, he seemed to calm down, he looked at her with eye level and said, "It is precisely because I am not that kind of person that I will invite Xu and my cousin, as soon as they are Japanese subordinates, I will not offend the Japanese in this way." Second, my cousin can't do anything else, and he still has two brushes for tomb robbing. ”
Jinhua looked at him and felt even more strange, she licked her lips, her lips squeezed, and after a while, she spoke, and her voice was very low: "Haven't you always disdained to deal with the Japanese?" ”
"The times are different, so naturally we have to be different." He Rong replied simply. His throat moved, then he raised his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair, looking a little lazy.
Jinhua lost interest in continuing to talk to him, and she felt a little uncomfortable, maybe because of He Rong's change in attitude towards her, or maybe not.
Walking out of the door of He Rong's room, it was already dark.
There are no moons, no stars. All around was gray, and the sky was grayish-blue.
Some of them are concerned.
Jinhua walked down the steps and turned his head to look at He Rong's house, the lights in He Rong's house were bright, and in this darkness, people couldn't help but want to look twice. Jinhua stood in front of his room for a while, looking at him frowning in the room, and kept smoking one cigarette after another, she suddenly remembered what He Rong said to her a few days ago, she thought for a while and then turned away, and the moment she turned to leave, she decided to put Xu and the plaid suit first, until she got what Du Yuesheng wanted.
The day of the Lower Vuriel River is set for the evening of June 16.
Before going down the river, Humpty Dumpty specially came to ask her if she had come to the menstrual period, Jinhua shook his head, and Humpty Dumpty handed her a set of diving equipment, which was provided by the Japanese, made of steel, and looked quite advanced, Jinhua was not good at wearing, but she still followed Humpty Dumpty and others to wear it in the same way.
This was her first time diving, looking at the rolling waves and the noisy Wulie River, Jinhua's whole heart was pinched together, and she was very nervous.
When Jinhua was nervously looking at Wuliehe, He Rong was turning his head to look at her, he was holding a rope in his hand, only to see him walk up to her, wrap the rope around her waist, and then tie the other end of the rope to himself. He was still cold and cold, and when he saw her looking at him, he turned his head again.
After Humpty Dumpty and the others changed into wetsuits and put on breathing masks, seeing He Rong's behavior, Humpty Dumpty ran back to the car and groped for a long time, and found a nylon rope that was longer than He Rong's hand. He first tied a circle on himself, and then threw it to He Rong, He Rong took off the rope that he had wrapped before and tied it to himself, and then twisted to tie it to Jinhua, Jinhua wanted to push himself away, He Rong held down her hand, seriously wrapped her twice and tied a knot, and then handed the rope to the broken arm boy standing behind Jinhua, and the broken arm boy was followed by Xu someone, a tall man and a plaid suit.
After seeing that everyone was tied, Humpty Dumpty walked to the side of the Wulie River and turned on a flashlight wrapped in a glass bottle wrapped around his helmet. On his back was a small bag sewn with oilcloth.
Of course, other people are equipped like this, and the small bag contains some necessary tools, such as black hooves, shovels, etc.
When I put it on, I didn't feel it, but when I walked around, Jinhua began to sway, and I couldn't stand steadily, and this diving equipment was really heavy. Everyone followed Humpty Dumpty to the river, and then several people continued to walk down, until the river crossed the position of the snort, Humpty Dumpty poked his head out of the water again, and the others did the same, although Jinhua was curious, but he didn't dare to come nonsense, and poked his head out with their movements, and then she was still in a daze, and He Rong flicked the helmet, He Rong pointed to the breathing tube in the helmet, and the mouth shape made her blow, Jinhua blew a breath, and the rubber ring that was wet with water was very strong in bonding, so Jinhua was like this, and he was not afraid of water entering the helmet, and after that, He Rong took her hand again and sneaked into the Wulie River.
There are often swimming fish swimming in the river, Jinhua looked at the swimming fish, her heart was surprised and excited, she couldn't help it, she wanted to touch it, but before she stretched out her hand, He Rong pulled the rope wrapped around her, feeling the pull, Jinhua did not dare to act rashly, so he swam with He Rong.
After entering the depths of the water and swimming not far away, they vaguely saw the suppression stone of the mausoleum, what kind of animal the suppression stone was Jinhua did not guess, because the stone had been mottled by the flowing water, and only the shape of the cylinder could be faintly seen.
When they saw the Suppression Stone, their excitement turned into motivation and swam in the direction of the Suppression Stone. But the direction of swimming is countercurrent, water pressure and impulse, which is uncomfortable, not to mention wearing a cumbersome diving suit, Jinhua was hit by the countercurrent river water, they are numerous, with ropes to pull each other, pull a hair to move the whole body. Jinhua had little strength, some couldn't swim, she swung her limbs desperately, and she was already sweating profusely in her helmet.
He Rong looked back at her and grabbed her hand, Jin Hua looked at He Rong and sighed when he saw him inside the helmet, Jin Hua knew that He Rong was right to stop her at that time, and she did pull the back legs of the entire group now.
She tightened He Rong's hand, and while swimming hard and being hit by the countercurrent, Humpty Dumpty was probably dragged hard behind them, and also reached out a hand backwards and grabbed He Rong.
In this way, they swam, and were struck by the current, and continued to swim, until at last they reached the edge of the tombstone, where Humpty Dumpty choked on the tombstone, and then stepped on the silt at the bottom of the river.
The silt has not been cleared for a long time, and it is very deep.
As soon as Humpty Dumpty stepped on it, one leg sank in, and when he saw this, he hurriedly put one hand on the tombstone, struggling to pull his leg out of the mud, but he ignored the suction of the mud, and he struggled, sinking deeper and deeper. In just a few seconds, Humpty Dumpty had sunk into his legs, and the mud was buried in his thighs.
He Rong told Humpty Dumpty not to struggle, and then, with his arm sliding, he swam to the edge of the town tombstone, and lay on the town tombstone. He dragged the rope tied to Humpty Dumpty and kept pulling upward, Jinhua saw He Rong acting, and also swam to He Rong's side, helping He Rong pull the rope, and the one-armed boy behind Jinhua, Xu someone, tall man and plaid suit also swam over and helped He Rong drag.
Originally, he dragged it alone, although it was difficult but there was still little light, but a group of people came up to help, and it was messed up, at this time, Humpty Dumpty had fallen into the position of his waist, He Rong saw such a situation, and knew that Humpty Dumpty was helpless, he let go, and Humpty Dumpty looked at each other for a long time, the two of them stared, Jinhua saw Humpty Dumpty took out something from the oilcloth bag on his back, it was a knife.
Jin Hua looked at Humpty Dumpty, and then at He Rong, his heart was heavy. She patted He Rong, He Rong ignored her, at this time, Humpty Dumpty beckoned to her, signaling her to come over, Jinhua swam over, Humpty Dumpty took the bag he was carrying, and then handed it to Jinhua. Humpty Dumpty's actions made Jinhua couldn't help but sour her nose, she looked at Humpty Dumpty, hesitated, Humpty Dumpty saw her hesitation, smiled, his smile was very bright, Jinhua finally couldn't help snot and tears.
Maybe Humpty Dumpty knew that his life would be like this, he didn't blame anyone, he just smiled, Jinhua looked at his smile and took the backpack from his hand.
Seeing that after Jinhua took the backpack, Humpty Dumpty took a knife to cut the nylon rope tied to his body, the knot they tied before was blistered, and because Humpty Dumpty's knot was too tight, he couldn't untie it at all while wearing a diving suit, but Humpty Dumpty used a knife, and it was difficult to cut the nylon rope for a while.
"Is there really no help?" She watched Humpty Dumpty cut the rope and felt her whole stomach tumbling, she wanted to vomit and cry. She asked He Rong as she grabbed his helmet.
He Rong shook his head and grabbed her hand, and at that moment, Jinhua was wondering if he had to go to the grave, so he hurt Humpty Dumpty.
She didn't know. But she didn't dare to ask He Rong, she was afraid of seeing Humpty Dumpty's goodbye eyes, and she was also afraid of He Rong's reproach.
