86_86324In the cement house by the fish pond, Zhou Zhihong's exaggerated narrative voice is constantly coming out.

Duan Ke and I sat sideways on the motorcycle, enjoying the quiet and serene night. Seven or eight minutes later, Zhou Zhihong may have finished telling the story of killing the wolf, and the surroundings became quieter.

The door was opened, and someone walked out, it was Wu Linyu. He saw the two of us on the motorbike and walked straight over, apparently looking for me. I elbowed her to Duan Ke and motioned for her to leave for a moment, I wanted to speak alone with this new acquaintance.

Duan Ke looked at my eyes, and then at Wu Linyu who came over, and understood what I meant. She stepped off the motorcycle, said hello to Wu Linyu very shyly, and then walked back to the cement room.

"Girlfriend?" Wu Linyu looked back at Duan Ke, stood in front of the motorcycle and asked me.

"Hmm." I said with a smile on my face.

"Then you're lucky, you can still find a girlfriend." Wu Linyu handed me a cigarette and said with envy.

"yes." I replied unabashedly from the satisfaction in my heart.

"Did you find it before or after?" He asked.

"After that." I replied that when he said before and after, he should have meant before and after the outbreak of the virus.

Wu Linyu nodded, and asked me again to borrow the fire, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, looked at the moon and said, "Girlfriend, before entering the army, I also had a girlfriend." ”

"And then?" I also lit a cigarette and asked him with a puff of smoke.

"Forget it later, how can so many people be willing to pay for your youth." Saying that, Wu Linyu sighed.

I don't know how to answer him. More than ten seconds later, Wu Linyu spoke again: "I don't know if she's still alive now." ”

"You haven't been back to her? I mean, after you came out of the army alone. I asked.

"No, it's too far." He replied, "Besides, even if I find her, I can't take advantage of the fact that all the men in this world are dying, so that people have no choice, right?" ”

"That's a good idea." I said with a smile.

"Then she needs to be alive." Wu Linyu also joked.

"I heard the glasses say, you want to go to Zhejiang?" Wu Linyu changed the topic and asked me.

"Hmm." I say.

"What are you going to do?"

"Send Duan home."

"It's saying that it's to send her home, but it's actually just a few of us trying to find something to do." I added, "You also said, look at this stance, it's the same everywhere you go." ”

Wu Linyu took the last puff of his cigarette and nodded at me.

"What do you think, how are we doing?" I asked him again.

"It's pretty good, I listened to those glasses just now about you killing wolves, and I can't see that you're quite powerful." He flicked off the cigarette butt and said to me.

"And that old-timer, this old man is still so tough at his age, he must have been a special soldier when he was young."

Sure enough, Zhou Zhihong still said this, and I don't know if he added too much oil and vinegar. I had to pretend that I didn't hear the second half of the sentence and said to him, "Then you can go with us." ”

"Okay," Wu Linyu said with a smile, "I'm worried that I don't know where to go." ”

"Hmm." I am happy to say that with the addition of a new soldier, the safety index of our team has improved a lot.

It occurred to me that I had already invited two people to join our team today, and there was a tendency to recruit and win people's hearts. Maybe the sudden encounter with the tattooed man and the bullet left a shadow on my heart, and I think that in such a world, the more people around you, the more you can protect yourself. *The phrase "there is strength in numbers" is also applicable today.

However, today's two orders of business, only one success, it seems that I will improve my ability to persuade customers in the future, I joked in my heart.

After speaking, I stepped off the motorcycle and prepared to ask Wu Linyu to go back to the room together.

"Wait a minute." Seeing me leave, Wu Linyu suddenly said to me.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him suspiciously, and said that I suddenly regretted it or forgot to sign the contract?

"I have something for you." Wu Linyu said, and then reached into his trouser pocket and pulled something inside.

There was a sound of metal clattering in his trouser pockets, and he didn't know what was inside. After a while, he grabbed a bunch of things for me. He spread his hand, and I saw that he was holding a bunch of bullets.

I looked at him suspiciously, wondering if this was a token of love between men.

"Yours." He said.

"Ours?" I asked, then took the bullet with both hands in my hands.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"When I walked behind you today, I quietly took out the bullet from your gun, in fact, when I saw your appearance, I knew that you were not a triad, but I had to keep a hand." Wu Linyu said with a smile, "But it seems that I think too much, you are all good people." ”

I took a closer look at the bullets in my hand, and sure enough, there were different types, pistol bullets with round heads and rifle bullets with pointed heads, which should be my and Uncle Wang's.

After saying that, he took some out of his trouser pocket, put them in my hand, and added: "The road is steep, and my hands are too busy, so a lot of bullets have fallen on the road." ”

"It's all right," I said to him, putting the bullet in my pocket, "and you have to give something before you can gain trust." ”

We both laughed and walked back into the house.

Uncle Wang sat by the wall, counting how many Chinese cigarettes he had left. Duan Ke took out the phone in my bag, not knowing what he was playing. Zhou Zhihong was attracted by the lit fluorescence, and leaned over to look at Duan Ke's mobile phone.

"Do you still have any wine, young man?" Uncle Wang asked Zhou Zhihong.

Zhou Zhihong looked at me and Wu Linyu who were standing, and then at Uncle Wang, and asked him, "Are you asking me?" ”

"Of course." Uncle Wang said.

"Oh, wine, a few bottles, and peanuts." Zhou Zhihong said, "But Uncle Wang, don't call me a young man in the future, you see, the three of us here are all young men, I don't know who you are calling." ”

Uncle Wang laughed and said, "Okay, young man, bring me a bottle." ”

"Do you drink?" Uncle Wang turned his head and asked the two of us.

I shook my head, I really didn't have a good time drinking today. Wu Linyu was very excited and said, "Drink, I'll have a few drinks with the seniors." ”

"What about you, young man?" Uncle Wang asked Zhou Zhihong again.

Zhou Zhihong hurriedly shook his head and said, "If you don't drink it, you have a headache after drinking." ”

"But I can come over and eat peanuts and listen to your bragging." After speaking, Zhou Zhihong got up and walked over.

Wu Linyu pulled the TV, and the light of the candle was closer. Zhou Zhihong opened his backpack, took out the only few bottles of wine and a few packs of snacks left inside, and piled them in the middle of the room. After a while, the three of them sat together by candlelight, ready to drink and talk.

"Who sleeps in this bed?" I pointed to the bed in the room and asked them.

"Guess the box." Zhou Zhihong said.

"Guess what," Wu Linyu immediately retorted and said, "Just you and your girlfriend sleep, the three of us don't care, you just need to be quiet at night." ”

All three of them burst out laughing.

Okay, okay, I rejoiced in my heart and said, not sleeping in a bed is a great sin in the world. So I took my backpack and helmet from the bed, as well as a vest full of magazines, and sat down. Duan Ke followed me to the edge of the bed, and I saw that her face was red.

The bed was very simple, just a combination of a pile of planks and cotton wool. The quilt was messily folded in the corner of the bed, and I didn't want to cover myself with it. Duan Ke slept on the side against the wall, still looking down and playing with her phone, not knowing what she was looking at.

I took off my coat, put it over her, and said, "Don't catch a cold tonight." ”

Speaking of colds, I remembered that she had only taken the medicine she had taken once today, so I took out the medicine and urged her to swallow it.

Lying on the bed, I closed my eyes and leaned against the head of the bed, listening to Uncle Wang and the three of them talking.

"Senior, we are going to be soldiers now, we can only shoot targets all day long, and we can do some exercises on a larger scale, and there is nothing bloody about it. I've always wondered, what it's like to fight and kill on the front lines? Wu Linyu asked.

The sound of Uncle Wang taking a sip of wine came from the candlelight, and after a while he said, "It's best not to fight." ”

"I know that development is the last word." Wu Linyu said.

"What are your troops doing all day now?" Uncle Wang avoided this topic that had been asked countless times and said.

"Training, eating, sleeping, that's pretty much it." Wu Linyu took a sip of wine and said.

Then they began to discuss the past and present in the army.

As I listened, my consciousness drifted into a trance, and I fell asleep.

I didn't have a dream all night, and I woke up early the next day, and the house was filled with Uncle Wang's snoring
