Chapter 16: Neuropathy
It's been more than a week since the last wise "fainted".
This week, the entire Blue Shore Bar has been filled with mystery. Every time he and Ishihara went together, they always sat around and said something they couldn't hear at all, and when they wanted to get closer, Akechi would jump up in a hurry, "We're discussing a secret matter, don't eavesdrop!" ”
Although curious, Mo Xiaosheng is not the kind of person who likes to eavesdrop, and the final exam is approaching, Mo Xiaosheng prefers to stay in a corner and do his homework seriously. may be because of Mo Xiao's injury, he didn't like to study very much, and even every time the teacher asked, he liked to say, "I have money in my family, I can't spend it, it doesn't matter if I read or not." Such Ishihara also looked at the book intently because he had nothing to do, and often did a few questions very seriously, and even made a whole set of papers for the first time, although in the end, Mo Xiaoshu didn't even score thirty points when he scored him. However, in Mo Xiaosheng's opinion, his brother is already very powerful. Isn't it as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of failure, you are afraid to do it?
Tonight, when it was close to eleven o'clock, Mo Xiaoshu had already finished his homework and packed his schoolbag and was ready to leave.
At this time, I heard the table that was still talking being slapped with a palm, and it was Lan Youshi who spoke: "Then it's decided." After you go, be sure to pay attention to safety, remember! ”
For the first time, Lan Youshi's always kind and gentle face looked so serious.
The crowd nodded, then got up and dismissed.
"Uncle Lan, then I'll go back." Mo Xiaosheng didn't ask much, and said hello to Lan Youshi before leaving.
"Wait, I have a letter here, can you go back and bring it to your mother?" Lan called out to him again, and then walked over quickly.
"To my mother?" Mo Xiaosheng was a little surprised.
"Well, don't peek!" Lan Youshi smiled and nodded.
"No," Mo Xiaosheng said with a smile, "Then I'll go." ”
"Stay safe!"
"Good!"
Leaving the Blue Shore Bar, Mo Xiaoshu first sent Ishihara home, and then returned home by himself.
"It's really a little curious," Mo Xiaosheng looked at his mother who was still busy washing clothes, and pinched the letter in his hand, "Mom, your letter!" ”
"My letter?!" The mother was extremely surprised, "It's strange, I haven't received a letter for more than 20 years." With that, the mother wiped her wet hand on her apron and walked over.
Mo Xiaosheng handed over the letter, and then drank some water, "Mom, I'm going to rest!" ”
"Okay, let's go to bed early." The mother touched Mo Xiaoxiao's face with pity, and then nodded with a smile.
Watching Mo Xiaosheng climb onto the bed and cover the quilt, his mother opened the envelope with some curiosity, and inside was a white paper full of words.
I don't know how long it took, my mother touched my eyes that were a little moist at some point, and then nodded vigorously, and said to herself: "It's good to be a soldier, it's good to be a soldier." Serving the motherland can be regarded as winning glory for our family! ”
At 0:00 a.m., at the end of the most prosperous street in Shuigong City, there stood a tower more than 300 meters high, the tower as a whole spiraled upwards in a curve, and the curved surface was covered with colorful light bands. The bands of light shimmer and shimmer, constantly changing colors. At the top of the tower is an antenna spire more than 20 meters long. Underneath the antenna, is a spacious platform cast in iron.
In normal times, the platform would have been crowded with tourists from all directions, but now that it was late at night, the last few scattered passengers also took the high-speed elevator down to the ground and left.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a brown suit came out of the darkness of the high platform, his sideburns had gradually grown some gray hair, but he was still red, full of energy, and his eyes were bright, and he couldn't see the aging state at all, but was full of energy. His hands were in his trouser pockets, and the breeze blew the hem of his shirt. He said, "How do you want to come here and chat?" He pulled out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, then pulled out one, then took out a lighter with his other hand and lit it.
"It's high here, and the conversation is secret. The people below can't see or hear what we're saying, and God can't see us. It's like a secret room! A man also walked out of the shadows on the other side. He pointed fingers downwards and upwards at one moment with a faint smile on his face.
He was dressed in a light blue shirt, dark blue jeans, and a pale white glow at the knees.
"Again, you're still so inscrutable!" The man in the brown suit rolled his eyes and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
"It's just pretending to be literary and artistic!" Lan scratched his head again.
"There's a breezy secret room, it sounds quite literary!" The man in the brown suit shook his head and said casually.
Even in the middle of the night, the bustling urban area still shimmers with colorful bright colors, like a tireless beast crawling on this boundless wilderness continent. Tens of thousands of cars flowed along the golden route of a dense web, like the veins of a wild beast that kept bleeding.
"Recruit him into the army, why?" Cigarettes bottomed out.
"Mo Yuan, he's too weak." Lan sighed a little.
"Then it's okay to take it directly to the Nantian Continent. Why under such a guise as enlistment? Song Moyuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on the spark.
"His mother. Need an explanation for his mother! That's his only family, so he can't just ignore it. Lan scratched his head.
"If you want me to say, just ignore it. Or, you give him to me, and I'll lock him up in the house and gas him to death!" It's just a piece of garbage, you really don't need to take it so seriously! Song Moyuan pursed his lips. He has done too much of this kind of thing, and human life is not even as good as an ant to him.
"You won't understand. He's great, he's a great kid! It's like a jade that hasn't been polished well. Lan Youshi looked into the distance and shook his head.
"I've never heard you say that about a person before. What the hell attracted you to him, I'm really curious? Song Moyuan asked suspiciously.
"Willing to sacrifice one of his children for the sake of a friend. It's not a small injury, but it's a person who can create miracles. As he spoke, Lan Youshi's eyes showed a touch of fanaticism.
"He used to be a soldier?" In Song Moyuan's memory, such a thing only appeared in the soldiers in the army.
"Nope." Lan shook his head again.
"Still incomprehensible!" Song Moyuan shook his head helplessly.
"Old Song, in a word, do you want to help?" Lan Youshi suddenly turned his head to stare at Song Moyuan.
"Don't look at me like that, can't I help you?" Song Moyuan smiled bitterly.
"You won't regret your decision, I'll pack the ticket." Lan laughed again.
"He's not human, is he?" Song Moyuan asked suddenly.
"Hmm. Non-drakes dragons! Lan was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"People like you. Does he know that you are the same kind of person as him? ”
"I don't know." Lan shook his head again.
"Didn't tell him?" Song Moyuan asked.
"Say no more. Remember to send the red book over tomorrow, I'll go first! As he spoke, Lan Youshi stretched out his hand in the air a little.
The air rippled inexplicably like a stone entering the water. After a while, the outline of Lan Youshi's body began to distort, and then it was sucked into the center of the ripples. After a second, the air returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"It's still as rude as before, and I don't even say goodbye!" Looking at the empty side, Song Moyuan turned around and walked towards the elevator.
At some point, the "beast" chose to sleep, and the colorful and charming colorful lights were extinguished one after another, and darkness took over the whole world.
The next day, after breakfast, Mo Xiaosheng went out.
Today seems to be different from usual, and Ishihara's state doesn't seem quite right. If it was usual, Ishihara would definitely giggle and pounce on his shoulder and ask him if he had eaten, but today, for the first time, he simply patted Mo Xiaosheng's shoulder, and said good morning and walked silently beside Mo Xiaosheng.
"Something?" After a moment of silence, Mo Xiaoxiao asked.
"yes." Ishihara has never concealed Mo Xiaoju's words. In his opinion, hiding from friends is a sign of distrust. He didn't want to do that.
"Tell me?" Mo Xiaoxian asked tentatively.
"I don't know what to say?" Ishihara smiled bitterly.
"What won't be said? Isn't that just going to be a soldier? Ling Ruolan appeared silently like a ghost on the other side of Mo Xiaoxi.
"Soldiering?" Mo Xiaoshu was startled by Ling Ruolan, and then hurriedly asked Ishihara.
"yes. But I really don't want to go! And that's not the point, the point is, I haven't reported anything about this at all, but somehow a soldier came to my house last night and gave me a notice. The soldier was still wearing a camouflage uniform, and I was shocked to think I had done something. But what is even more speechless is that I called my dad and said that I hoped he would push it off for me, but I didn't expect that my dad actually agreed, and said that young people like me are not learning materials, so I should go to the army to exercise well. "Ishihara wanted to cry without tears.
"I thought I was going to be a soldier alone. I didn't expect you to go too! Mo Xiaosheng's face was full of surprise.
"What! You also serve as a soldier with a small injury?! "Ishihara's reaction was several times greater than Mo Xiao's injury. He was amazed that he could stuff five eggs in his mouth at the same time.
But in just a blink of an eye, Ishihara's expression changed from a sad face to a hippie smile, "If there are small injuries together, it would be pretty good." Ishihara happily patted Mo Xiaoju's shoulder.
"Why are you like a little wounded heel? Wherever he goes, you look happy as long as you can go with him. Ling Ruolan said expressionlessly.
"Look at what you're saying. It's called friendship, do you know friendship? Ishihara was so angry that he hurriedly argued.
"Friendship?" As soon as she thought of the inseparable friendship between the two, Ling Ruolan shook her body, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"Yo, you also go to be a soldier, I thought I was the only one to be a soldier. I thought it was lonely, but I didn't expect to have a companion! Hahahaha! A familiar voice suddenly jumped out from behind, and what he said was exactly the same as what Mo Xiaoshu had just said.
Everyone turned around and saw the still sloppy Wise with ice cream in one hand and a cola in the other, looking up and laughing.
"Neurotic!" The three of them said in unison.
