Chapter 18: A Thousand Turns (4)

The voice on the phone was very similar to Tao Xiang, but it was deeper and deeper, and a little gentle and loving could be heard, but it was Tao Shengchuan.

Jingyi held the receiver, but she didn't expect the phone to be answered by her father-in-law, and she was choked up for a while and couldn't speak.

"Is it Jingyi?" Tao Shengchuan received a positive answer, so he asked Jingyi what was the matter with Lao Qi at this time.

"Nothing, father." Jingyi picked up the handkerchief and pressed her forehead. Perhaps because of the headquarters, her father-in-law's voice was more serious than usual, which made her heart beat a drum. And Tao Xiang couldn't answer the phone, so he must have left...... There was silence on the other end of the microphone for a moment, and she heard her father-in-law say, "Jingyi, the seventh has already set off." He"

Jingyi said, "Yes, I know...... Hang up, father. ”

Jingyi felt embarrassed. But from the father-in-law's voice, there was no blame, and perhaps he didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing this.

"Wait a minute." Tao Shengchuan said. Jingyi held the earpiece, "Jingyi wait at home, I'll send Shi Quan to send you over." The seventh may not have left yet. ”

"No need...... Father! Jingyi only heard a click in the earpiece, and the phone had been cut off. She stood in the porter with the earpiece in hand, wiping her ears with a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Qiu Wei hurriedly asked her how she was.

Jingyi looked at her and shook her head. The driver, Lao Zhang, was already waiting outside the door, and she asked Qiu Wei to tell Uncle Zhang to drive the car back, and she sat in the gatehouse with her eyes closed. The porter didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly served her tea. Qiu Wei sent Lao Zhang away, and came back to accompany her to wait for about a cup of tea in the gatehouse, when she heard the sound of sudden brakes outside. Jingyi had just gotten up, and Tao Shengchuan's entourage Shi Quan was already standing in the gatehouse to salute her.

"Shi Quan was ordered to come and pick up Grandma Qi. Seven young grandmothers please. ”

This Shi Quan has been following Tao Shengchuan. Tao Shengchuan stepped down as the commander of the Northwest Army, and he still stayed with him as the retinue of the old commander, and now he has also taken off his military uniform to serve the old commander, but his demeanor, words and deeds have not taken off the military style.

Jingyi followed and got into the car, and then asked Shi Quan where he was going now. The jeep they were riding in was still following the car, keeping a certain distance, and this line did not look very conspicuous.

Shi Quan started the car and said, "Go to the No. 2 military airfield in Kushui." ”

Jingyi was unexpected.

Shi Quan looked at her expression from the rearview mirror and said, "The old man has been on the phone with his wife." Madame was aware of this and did not object. ”

Jingyi nodded. Only then did I remember that I had just come out like this, and I didn't mention my whereabouts to anyone in the house. Seriously investigated, in the eyes of the Venerable Master, this behavior is disrespectful.

She also came out somehow, and she didn't have time to think of these details.

Jingyi wanted to ask Shi Quan again, but she endured it and didn't ask. She had already guessed that Tao Xiang wanted to arrive before the large army entered the territory. His intention was probably to make it impossible for people to guess his whereabouts. When she did this, I am afraid that she was just about to expose his intentions. The most important thing is how much risk he must have taken to enter Xinjiang like this......

She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Adjutant Shi, let's go back." She said.

She felt even more reckless at this point, and might put him in danger.

Shi Quan said: "The No. 2 airport is still under construction. The flight brigade is all assembled at Airfield 1, and the eyes of the whole and above are staring at that side, and no one will think of it. This is called the bright plank road, and the darkness is Chencang. ”

Jingyi was silent.

"The old handsome was also worried about the young grandmother at first. However, Qishao has his own opinions, and it is inconvenient for the old man to interfere. Shi Quan said and smiled, "The old man can't say anything." After the seventh young man set off, he had to go to the headquarters to see the situation. ”

Jingyi nodded.

Maybe when she called, someone informed her father-in-law in time. Shi Quan will say this with her, I'm afraid it is also what her father-in-law meant...... Jing Yi thought about it, and felt a warm heart. Father-in-law Tao Shengchuan is known as the king of the northwest, and he is usually serious, but he always has a little indulgence towards her. It's a bit special for Tao Xiang, although the father and son usually don't deal with each other. But this does not prevent them from understanding and supporting each other in big and small matters......

Jingyi just thought so crankily.

The loess road was bumpy, and as the car raced on the road, there was a strong smell of dust. The wind was also cold, and Jingyi couldn't help coughing. Although Qiu Wei was worried about her, because of the hurry she came out, she really had nothing to do at this time. Jing Yi looked at the wide dirt road carved out of the bare mountains in front of her, and she couldn't see anything except them running forward...... Her heart was empty.

It was only when she saw the vague shadow of the airport in the distance that her spirits lifted. It seems that the planes on the tarmac have been seen.

Not wanting them to be stopped at the first checkpoint, the guards looked at their faction, but refused to let them go. The reason is that this is not the edict of Commander Tao Xiangtao. And without Commander Tao's edict, no one is allowed to enter. Even if it is an old handsome, even if the person who comes is the commander's wife.

Shi Quanqi knot. But the rules are so dead, and Tao Xiang's military law is very strict, and the people under him will never dare to have the slightest violation of discipline, and he is helpless.

Jingyi listened to their negotiations, knowing that Shi Quan had nothing to do.

has arrived here, Tao Xiang seems to be close at hand, but she can't see him...... I wanted to tell him to take care before he set out, and said that when he returned safely, it couldn't be realized. She really regretted that she hadn't spoken to him properly last night, and that she hadn't said goodbye to him this morning.

"Miss, plane." Qiu Wei called her.

She heard the roar of the plane, hurriedly opened the door, stepped on the pedals and looked up, there was a plane just taking off - the dark blue fuselage was painted with the words NW001 in large letters, and it was rapidly rising from the runway...... She raised her arm and waved in the direction of the plane.

It wasn't until the plane disappeared into the clouds that she got off the pedals.

The guards on the sentry post and Shi Quan, who was standing with the guards, looked at her with a look in their eyes, and they were a little special.

Jing Yi calmed down, and said to Shi Quan casually: "Since this is the case, let's go back." ”

"I'm sorry, Seventh Young Grandma, the commander's military orders are like a mountain, and I don't dare to make my own decisions." It was a small lieutenant who spoke, and it seemed to be the little leader of the outpost. Before talking to Jing Yi, he saluted, and his face turned red as he spoke.

Jing Yi smiled and said, "What's wrong with this, it should be like this." ”

As they were talking, one of the guards suddenly shouted, "The plane is back." ”

Jing Yi was stunned and looked up.

She couldn't read the code on the fuselage, but she intuitively knew it was the plane that had just taken off.

Her heart was beating rapidly, and she didn't know what to do, and she couldn't move her feet for a while, so she had to look up in the direction where the plane was flying - the plane was near, and sure enough, it was NW001 - and her eyes followed the plane as it flew low, and as it swept over them, it was like a great wind blowing and rolling up her dress.

She raised her hand and waved at the plane.

She couldn't see anything, except for the plane that was flying low above her, but she believed that Tao Xiang could see her at this time. So she waved her arm again...... The plane, as it flew over her head again, pulled up decisively and flew westward. The plane was like a very happy bird, its outstretched wings swaying up and down in the air, and it seemed to wave goodbye to the people on the ground...... As the plane faded away into the clouds, the huge air currents it brought with it finally disappeared, and everything around it was silent.

Jingyi looked at the clear sky for a long time before turning around and getting into the car.

As soon as he sat down, two lines of tears rolled down his eyes.

Qiu Wei hurriedly handed her a handkerchief, "Miss......"

Jingyi wiped her eyes, shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not crying." ”

She wasn't crying. It's just that I forgot to blink because I stared at the sky for so long...... But in this way, the more the eyes blinked, the more tears there were, and the tears rolled down in a torrent, and they couldn't stop.

She simply pressed the handkerchief to her eye.

The huge roar of the plane was still in my ears, and it seemed that the strong wind that was born from it was still blowing, and my heart seemed to be blown up by the wind and hung in mid-air...... She thought that if she came to see him off, her heart would be calmer, but she didn't. Her heart was even more restless.

She tried her best to contain the growing uneasiness.

On the way back, there was a wind and sand. The yellow sand tents flying all over the sky surrounded the car tightly, but at one o'clock in the afternoon, it looked like dusk outside. The headlights were on, but they still couldn't shine far, and Shi Quan drove much slower than when he came, almost moving three times in one step.

Jingyi lowered her head and suddenly found that the wedding ring on her hand was gone.

Qiu Wei also found that she found it on the seat and floor mat for her, but she didn't see any trace of the ring for a long time. Qiu Wei sighed first and said, "It's a long way now...... What should I do if I can't find it? ”

Jing Yi looked at the empty fingers and clenched her hands.

"It's just a symbol, if you can't get it back, you can't get it back." She whispered, tucking her hand into her pocket. That being said, once I realized it, my fingers felt empty...... She raised her hand and flicked the curtain, looking outside, the street scene in the yellow sand curtain was very familiar, she wanted to divert the topic, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"Ahead is the Copper Lion Alley." Shi Quan replied.
