Chapter 37: A Moonlit Night
86_86324 Wu Linyu grinded the cigarette butts on the wall, grinding out a lot of sparks. He threw away his cigarette butt and replied, "All the people in the army are dead, and when I came out, I passed by here." ”
"But I've been here for two days because I haven't figured out where I'm going." He added.
"There's not one man left in the army?" Uncle Wang looked up and asked him.
"Well, it's just me." Wu Linyu replied.
"Are you going home to visit your family?" Zhou Zhihong said.
"Of course not, it's just that the place where the troops are stationed is not far from here, so I picked a random path to get here." Wu Linyu said with a smile, "Didn't I say it, I haven't figured out where I'm going, if I go home, I look at this posture, and I won't see anyone when I go back." ”
"If I go slower, or if you go faster, we'll meet on the road. I've come this way, but I've never met a single one. Zhou Zhihong said with some regret, "You are the same, right?" ”
"No, I've met another team." Wu Linyu said.
"Another pair?" I asked, "Are you talking about two people or a team?" ”
"It's two people, so it's a team." Wu Linyu said, "I walked to a town that day and saw two men sitting on the roof of the car smoking, so I rushed over to greet them. When they saw me, they thought it was the rescue team coming, and when I explained it to them, they were very disappointed and asked me to come with them.
"I said where are you going, they said they were going to the big city, where there is a lot of food. When I heard that they were going to the big city, I refused. Eating a lot? But there must be a lot of dead people there, and I'd rather be in the wild, at least the air quality here is much better. ”
I immediately nodded in agreement, and it seemed that I wasn't the only one who couldn't stand the rancid smell.
"Actually, you have the equipment to fight on you, and the end is nothing." Wu Linyu continued, "I eat something in this forest every day, and I can also fish during the day, although there is a lack of someone to talk to, but I think it's pretty good." ”
Wu Linyu has an indescribable calmness and open-mindedness. He is neither like Zhou Zhihong who says a lot of jokes, but is open-minded on the surface, nor is he calm like Uncle Wang, who often does not make a voice. In short, as soon as he speaks, through his expression and tone of voice, you can feel that there is nothing that can make him feel that there is no way to live.
"What were you doing hiding on the hillside?" After being silent for a long time, Uncle Wang suddenly asked Wu Linyu.
Wu Linyu touched his head and said, "I went out hunting in the afternoon, and when I came back, I heard the sound of someone talking. I looked for the sound, and I saw the four of you. I'm still excited to see the living. I was just about to come down and say a few words to you when I saw one of you with a gun. I hesitated when I saw the gun, what if you were some kind of underworld that came out to rob you? ”
"So, I decided to follow you for a while and see who you really are." Wu Linyu smiled, "It turned out to be discovered by this old-timer." ”
Uncle Wang also smiled and said, "But then the two of us came to chase you, and we were both deceived by you, and the young man is not good." ”
"Where, where," Wu Linyu waved his hand, "I was also very scared at the time, thinking that you had come to hunt me down, so I came up with this method." ”
"If I were twenty years younger, I'd be able to get you out." Uncle Wang shook his head and said with a smile, obviously he was still very unconvinced.
"The old-timers are serious, I'm just a little luckier today." Wu Linyu replied to Uncle Wang's words, "If I was walking on the road today and you were hiding in the hillside, I would definitely not be able to find you." ”
"By the way, have you eaten yet?" Wu Linyu changed his words and ended the topic in a timely manner.
All four of us shook our heads.
I remember the first time I met Uncle Wang and Zhou Zhihong, they both asked this question, it seems that eating is an eternal topic for Chinese.
Wu Linyu opened his camouflage backpack, took out a few bags of plastic packaging, and said while handing them out to us: "I didn't get anything when I went out this afternoon, and I don't know where these jackals, tigers and leopards have gone." I have a lot of dry food from the army in my bag, although it is not delicious, but it can be full, so everyone will be satisfied. ”
Zhou Zhihong tore open the package and said, "We've seen wolves, but tigers and leopards don't know." ”
"Seen a wolf?" Wu Linyu asked.
"yes," Zhou Zhihong said, chewing on a compressed biscuit, "haven't you seen it?" ”
"No, I've only seen wolfdogs in the army." Wu Linyu said.
Zhou Zhihong helped his glasses, took a sip of water, and began to add fuel and vinegar to Wu Linyu to tell Wu Linyu about the last time we met a wolf. Wu Linyu may be really interested, and immediately sat next to Zhou Zhihong and listened to him intently. I looked at the two of them in the candlelight and thought it was a little funny. But I can't stand Zhou Zhihong's heroic description of me when I killed the wolf, because he didn't know that I was kicked to the ground by Wu Linyu today.
I didn't want to see Wu Linyu laugh at me after hearing these words, so I chewed two bites of compressed biscuits and walked out the door.
"You don't know how big the wolf is, it's just amazing, I was nesting by the wall and didn't dare to come out, but our brother Li didn't have the slightest fear, and he killed one head with one shot." When I closed the door, I heard Zhou Zhihong say this sentence loudly.
As soon as I went out, a cold wind blew in, and I shivered with cold. I wrapped my clothes tightly and looked out into the darkness around me. But it wasn't so dark that it couldn't see anything, because the moon peeked out of the clouds, casting a faint moonlight. I saw that the fish pond was built on a gentle hill with an upward slope on both sides. There is also a cement road next to the fish pond, which is probably for the convenience of customers who come to fish.
A concrete road was built along the shore of the fish pond and a motorcycle was parked on it. I walked over and sat on the leather seat of the motorcycle. In front of the fish pond, there was a fishy smell.
Looking back, you can still vaguely discern the village in the dark, the outline of the farmhouses next to the fields, on the mountainside. Whether this picture of silence makes people feel sorry or can make people return to the basics, I can't tell.
But it would be even more beautiful if there was a little light in the picture.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened. I saw Duan Ke come out of the house. She walked up to me and leaned against me on the motorcycle.
When I saw her, I remembered that I was still angry with her, so I deliberately tilted my head away.
"Lou Li, why don't you ignore me?" She said to me in a nasal voice.
"Nope." I replied coldly.
"Obviously, when I walked in those haystacks today, the thorns were all hanging on my face, and you didn't come to help me." She reproached me and said, "Besides, you didn't say a word to me when you just entered the house." ”
I glanced at her, then turned to look away.
After being silent for a few minutes, I said to her: "When I came back and stood on the slope today, I saw you and Zhou Zhihong talking and laughing, I felt that you were not worried about me at all, you didn't think that I ran out to chase people, what if I encountered danger?" ”
I didn't expect that I could say such a careful thing myself.
"Aren't you carrying a gun, what danger can there be?" Duan Ke replied.
She was so angry with this answer that I couldn't speak.
Duan Ke suddenly smiled and said, "I know, you're jealous." ”
"Who's jealous? I'm not jealous. I immediately retorted to her.
"Say no, go see your face for yourself." Duan Ke looked at me and laughed.
I don't overdo it, I don't bother to pay attention to her. Duan Ke stepped off the motorcycle, turned to me, bent down and grabbed my hand, and said to me with wide eyes: "Okay, Lou Li, can I apologize to you?" ”
Her series of actions made my heart melt, and I had to pretend to be calm and replied, "Then let me think about it." ”
After saying that, I laughed unconsciously.
Duan Ke flicked my eyebrows with his hand and said, "You're like a child." ”
"Then you still like children." I took her hand and said.
After speaking, Duan Ke sat back in the leather chair and rested his head on my shoulder, and the inexplicable resentment in my heart dissipated in an instant. Maybe I'm really jealous.
With the motorcycle under me, I really feel that I am a prodigal son who loves to ride motorcycles, and I am about to elope with my beautiful woman on this moonlit night
