The day of May, the waves are not alarmed, the moist air flow swept through the sunny day, you will find that the original season is so comfortable, the sky of this era has not been shrouded in thick black smoke, at least in the county town of southern Anhui, there is no air column rising to the sky.

The boy checked his bags early in the morning, and except for a set of clothes prepared in advance for the climate, all that was left was a brand new travel bag, which seemed a little tacky to the boy, but it was the most fashionable thing in this era.

After checking my passport, visa, and other things, I checked some of the miscellaneous items in my bag again.

"Shinichi, look carefully, don't forget to bring your things, take care of yourself outside, eat well, don't run around when you go out, remember to come back--"

The old grandmother always seemed a little too anxious and told her no less than ten times, and the young man always listened so carefully and said skillfully, "You can rest assured, your grandson is not worth a few dollars, and no one will tie a rice bucket to go home for dinner." ”

"You baby! You know how to talk nonsense. ”

It seems that the old bus is deeply impressed in the young man's mind, the rows of poplar trees that are rapidly crossed in this era are still just a small sapling, there is no impression of the lush greenery, the first time in this time and space, the young man does not seem too excited, his calm face from the car to the present has not shown a trace of curiosity and surprise about the scenery along the way, like an old passenger in the car, quietly slightly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Little baby, where are you going? Your adults are quite relieved, let your half-grown baby sit for a long time, and you are not afraid of losing it. ”

On the long-distance bus to Shanghai, a hearty laugh came from the young man's ears, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was sitting next to him in an empty seat, I don't know when he was sitting with a beard with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked young but looked old, burly, and sat there with a compelling momentum.

"Big brother, you're not right, I'm just a hairy kid who eats and drinks, who will be bored with nothing to do, find a rice bucket to go home."

The young man's words were like a cool breeze blowing in the stuffy carriage, which suddenly made the passengers laugh non-stop, and the man obviously didn't expect the little boy next to him to have such a look, and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

"You baby, you are quite good at talking, but when you go out, it's better to be careful, I see that your baby is so clever, I'm afraid that no one can deceive you, no wonder your adults are willing to let you out."

An old man in the front row was quite funny, turned his head to look at the young man, and said with a smile, his words were gentle, his face was kind, but he looked like a good old man, and it seemed that he should be an old cadre.

The buses of this era are extremely old and bloated, there is no air conditioning and no electric fan, except for the driver's position has a small micro-fan the size of a palm, the whole carriage is a little stuffy by the May sun, the carriage is extremely crowded, snakeskin bags, buckets and all kinds of sundries, mixed with the smell of sweat so that the teenager can't help frowning.

"Little baby, I haven't been in a car! Ten years ago, we were in the military train that didn't even open the windows, and our eyes were black, and it was hot and smelly. ”

The man on the side looked at the young man's slightly frowning brow and couldn't help but smile and said, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Oh? Big Brother was a former soldier? Can you tell me about your life in the army, there was a big battle ten years ago, and you have never fought Vietnamese devils! ”

The young man keenly caught the words in the man's words, and suddenly his sleepiness disappeared, and his whole body was full of energy, and he sat up straight and asked the man.

The man obviously didn't expect that the teenager in front of him would be so clever, and he would pull out so much information from his casual words, and glanced at the young man with a little deep meaning, then recalled the situation in the army at the beginning, and picked out a few interesting things to say, but he didn't expect this kid to seem to know everything, and the questions he asked were very professional, he didn't know that the kid in front of him came back from the era of the information explosion.

As a man with a blood surname, which man doesn't love swords, which man doesn't love a bloody military career, as a new generation who grew up under the red flag since childhood, the young man has a lot of feelings for the people's army, and one of my grandfather's uncles was a boatman who died in the battle of crossing the river, and the honorary certificate at home has been read no less than ten times.

"Big brother, tell me if you ever went to the south back then?"

The man had a headache, but he knew the secrecy regulations of the army, although more than ten years had passed since this incident, but he could not reveal it in public at will, although he had retired for many years, but his feelings for the army, the original loyalty to the motherland has never decreased even the slightest, but with the increase of age, it has increased a lot.

"Big brother, which military region did you serve in before, tell me quickly, this is not in the secrecy regulations, right?"

The words of the teenager are always so amazing.

"Huh? You really can't underestimate this baby, you even know the secrecy regulations, then I'll tell you, I used to be in the southern Yuezhou Military Region, and I did participate in the southern battle, but I can't tell you the specific situation. ”

When the young man heard this, he knew that the man in front of him was a guy who was a little rigid in observing the discipline of the troops, so he immediately didn't ask much, but when the corner of his eye looked at the man's burly figure and strong physique, he had a trace of enveloping thoughts.

"Big brother, why didn't you stay in the army later?"

Wang Chaojun looked at the young man next to him, his eyes suddenly showed a trace of decadence, when he came back from the battlefield, he participated in the military region competition and won the championship of individual combat, the army was planning to send himself to the military academy, and he came back to be a non-commissioned officer, but his father died of illness, and he had to go home to take care of his elderly mother, and the opportunity was given by other brothers, when his mother died of illness in the second year, he had to end his military career, and spent so many years at home relying on an acre and three points of land, and this year he had to go to Shanghai to work. The man who used to kill the enemy on the battlefield has to do some janitorial work now, which I have to say is really sad.

Looking at the man beside him with a slight sense of depression, a trace of excitement flashed in the young man's eyes.

"Big brother, what are you doing in Shanghai?"

The young man immediately changed the subject, but when the man heard this, he had to be silent again, yes, what are you doing in Shanghai.

The two suddenly fell into silence for a while, the young man slowly calmed down, but his mind was thinking about how to persuade this man to follow him, it was not that he had never seen a soldier on duty, but he had never felt such a compelling momentum in this man, thick and cold, if he had not been on the battlefield and had not killed anyone, he would never have it.

During the long journey, everyone had eaten a "big meal" that was not considered lunch but not dinner, and then continued to move forward, the speed of the car in this era was extremely slow, and it was estimated that every 20 hours could not reach the destination, and one by one after getting on the bus after eating and drinking enough, they became active again.
