Pengcheng, a happy community.

Thirty years ago, the community looks a little old, the walls are weathered by the wind and rain, some mottled, and a wall near the garden is climbed on some green vines, which are blooming, shaped like trumpets, purple and red, swaying with the wind in the dusk sun, exuding a soft fragrance, giving people tranquility.

In the sentry box at the gate of the community, a middle-aged man with a dark face is leisurely listening to Peking Opera, wearing old overalls, with a back armband on his arm, and a white gown with the words "vigilante" printed on it, holding a very clean old-fashioned radio in his hand, most of the paint has fallen off, and the shell is wrapped in pulp, obviously often played with in his hand, the man hums in a low voice along with the melody, babbling, a little messy, and even can't keep up with the tune, but he is still happy, and his peaceful eyes are slightly closed. But he paid attention to everyone who passed through the gate, and did his duty.

The middle-aged man remembered the appearance of almost everyone in the community, a few students came over, carrying schoolbags, chattering and laughing, one of the girls shouted obediently: "Hello Uncle Security, you are at work again today?" ”

"Yo, it's Xiao Nuan, it's out of school." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"yes." The little girl answered with a smile, entered the gate, and walked away with her classmates.

The middle-aged man looked at this group of young and energetic girls, a loving smile appeared on his face, there were a little more memories in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly, his eyebrows were raised, his slightly closed eyes opened, and he fell on a young man who came over.

The young man with inch hair, wearing a black T-shirt, but wearing a pair of camouflage combat pants on the lower body, shiny black high-top combat boots on his feet, and a camouflage backpack in his hand, is aiming at a steady and powerful pace, each step is the same length, as if it has been measured.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man smelled some unusual smells from the visitor, remembered the olive green in his memory, which was his former pride, the pride of his life, and got up quickly, rushed out of the sentry box, rushed in front of the visitor, and looked up and down.

The person who came stopped, motionless as a pine, looked at the middle-aged man calmly, and did not speak.

"I'm the security guard of this community, who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Go home." The young man said calmly, his face calm, as if he were talking about something unrelated.

"Home? Which house are you? The middle-aged man asked.

"7 buildings 301, the head of the household, Wei Yimin." The young man was not angry and said calmly.

"You're right, but I need to confirm your identity, it's my job, what's your name? Can you show me your ID? I need to verify my identity and contact the head of the household, and I can only release it after obtaining the consent of the head of the household, please understand and cooperate. The middle-aged man said cautiously.

"Defend the country." The young man responded, his brows furrowed, his face sank, and he was a little hesitant, giving people an invisible pressure, the middle-aged man was more and more sure of his judgment, but he did not flinch, and secretly became vigilant, and after a while, the young man took out a document from his pocket and handed it over, without speaking.

The middle-aged man secretly took it carefully, took two steps back, opened, the familiar plate style, the familiar steel seal, the familiar official seal, and then looked at the information on it, quickly closed it, handed it over, leaned on his feet, stood upright, stood tall, saluted, looked at the young man, and said with some excitement: "Hello lieutenant, veteran Luo Dahai reports to you, please instruct." ”

The man who called Weiguo did not return the salute, took the documents and put them away, and said in a deep voice: "In public, pay attention to the impact, neither of us is wearing military uniforms, just forget the courtesy, let's take a break." ”

"Yes!" The middle-aged man responded excitedly, and continued to smile after putting down his saluting arm: "I didn't expect to see the same kind of people today, I smelled a familiar smell as soon as I saw you coming, and sure enough, I read it right, are you retiring and going home or visiting relatives?" ”

"Questions? Don't ask if you don't dare to ask, forget discipline so quickly? Wei Guo asked rhetorically.

"No, don't get me wrong, I just saw the curiosity of the same kind in the past, and I couldn't help but ask a few more words, gaffe, by the way, what did you just say? 7 buildings 301, Wei Yi private house? The middle-aged man realized that he had asked a question that should not be asked, and quickly explained, seeing that the other party nodded, he was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he quickly said: "Something seems to have happened to your family, go back quickly." ”

"What?" When Wei Guo heard this, his face changed greatly, and he crossed the middle-aged man with an arrow step, rushed into the gate, and rushed along an internal road, like a hurricane, and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man's face was shocked when he saw this scene, and he muttered to himself: "This speed, special forces, right?" ”

Wei Guo rushed away, his face was a little more anxious, he didn't care about taking the elevator, kicked open the fire ladder door, rushed up the old cement steps, and went upstairs in a few steps, and soon came to the third floor, opened the fire ladder door, flashed out with a twist of his body, walked a few steps along the corridor, and stopped at an old iron door.

The iron door is rusty, the paint on it has fallen off a lot, there are some years at a glance, there is a pair of couplets pasted on both sides of the door, the upper couplet reads: Patriotic support for the army and solidify the Great Wall, the lower couplet reads: Double support to build and revitalize China, the horizontal batch is only left on the lintel of half of the red paper, I can't see what is written, the content of the couplet is very simple, but the words are very beautiful, stroke by stroke, such as Jin Ge Iron Horse Yueran paper, giving people a sense of power boiling with blood.

The big iron door was closed, and the door inside was also closed tightly, and there was no sound to be heard, Wei Guo anxiously slammed the door and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back." ”

No one in the room answered, and no one opened the door. Wei Guo became more and more anxious, the force of slamming the door increased a few points, knock knock, echoes floated in the corridor, several families opened the door, someone came out and shouted: "Who are you, what are you doing?" ”

"Uncle Gen, it's me, Defending the Country." Wei Guo turned his head to look at the other party and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my family?" Why is no one home? ”

"Yo, it's really a patriotic country, I've grown taller, I'm strong, I don't dare to admit it, I haven't seen you for five years, right? Didn't you go to the troops, this is? The other party asked curiously.

A woman walked out and said angrily, "What are you talking about?" Don't look at the time either. ”

"Yes, yes, look at me, I'm happy, confused, Weiguo, your mother is hospitalized, bed 505 of the inpatient department of the People's Hospital, go and take a look." The other party hurriedly said.

"What? What happened to my mom? Wei Guo was shocked and asked anxiously.

"I don't know the specifics, you can go and see." The other party quickly replied, a flash of hesitation on his face, more sympathy.

Wei Guo was anxious, didn't care about asking, quickly rushed into the fire ladder, quickly went downstairs along the dusty cement steps, rushed to the outside community, a gust of wind seemed to go straight to the gate, saw that the middle-aged man in charge of the door was chatting with an old man first, didn't care about greeting, quickly rushed out of the gate, just a taxi stopped, the passengers inside were still giving money, Wei Guo rushed up, opened the co-pilot seat and sat in, and said anxiously: "Master, excuse me, People's Hospital, be fast." ”

"Okay." The taxi driver saw that Wei Guo was in a hurry, and it was not a trivial matter to go to the hospital, so he agreed, and after waiting for the passengers in the car to get out of the car and close the door, he quickly clocked the meter, drove forward, glanced at Wei Guo, and said sympathetically: "Little brother, don't worry, it will take up to ten minutes here, and there will be no traffic jam at this point, don't worry." ”

"Thank you." Wei Guo said gratefully, took out his mobile phone, and skillfully pressed the number, but the other party prompted to turn off the phone, and called another, the same shutdown state, so he had to put away the mobile phone, took a deep breath, suppressed the anxious emotions, looked at the high-rise buildings flashing outside the window, and the vehicles that passed quickly, his eyes gradually became firm.

Even if the sky falls, you can carry it.
