Chapter 55: Meeting After Two Years
After I took a leave of absence from work, I made a phone call to my friend to tell him where he was going and asked him to take me there.
Originally, I wanted to go on my own, but the psychiatrist advised me not to drive during this time.
He asked me strangely on the phone what I was doing there. Business trip?
I said no, I took a leave of absence and now I want to see someone.
He said okay, I don't have any work to walk around with me lately.
I stood like a fool at the door of the unit, I had been in a trance since I met the platoon commander, it had never been so serious before, and my state was very bad during this time, so it was necessary for me to follow the psychiatrist's words and ask for leave to rest for a while.
I didn't dare to be left alone, I was afraid that I would make drastic moves.
A lot of things in the room are reminiscing me, and there are a lot of looming scenes in my mind all the time, like a movie looping around.
Can't get rid of it, can't escape, it's always very anxious and irritable when you're alone, and even thought about knowing your own life at one point.
It was a terrible thought, and I recovered what little sanity I had, except that I didn't dare to stay at home anymore.
I'm going to be in the city where Magpie works, and I suddenly want to see her, for no reason, because we haven't seen her for two years since she came to me, and that day of separation seems like yesterday.
We've been in touch on the phone a few times, and her tone is the same as usual, just deliberately keeping some distance, and I know that she thinks I have a girlfriend and can't keep in touch with me often.
Hehe, some people are always very attentive to other people's feelings, for fear of causing trouble to others.
And who else could I contact the only person I could contact right now? Except for Platoon Commander Zhao, only magpies remain.
As for why I suddenly wanted to see her, to be honest, I don't know, I didn't sleep well last night, and my brain has been confused, but I suddenly want to see her, there is no reason.
My friend quickly drove the car over, I got in the car, and he handed me a cigarette.
"How? That doctor is not bad, is it feeling better these two days? ”
The psychiatrist was introduced to me, and I nodded: "It's quite professional, I took a leave of absence and wanted to rest for a while." ”
"Heh, you kid, you've been a soldier for so many years, and you're out of touch with society, look at your injuries like you fell into a blender, what's wrong with Zheng Xin? Say break up, just break up, tsk, I can't figure it out. "This guy just likes to be verbose.
And I haven't talked much since I came back, and I hate being noisy.
Speaking of her, I became a little irritable: "What are you doing with her?" Let's go. ”
I reclined the chair and lay back comfortably in the chair.
My friend was also interested, so he didn't say any more, and drove by himself.
"You haven't told me why you went to the county public security bureau yet?"
I said, "I'm not saying, look at a friend. ”
"Your comrade-in-arms?"
"Yes."
"Okay, adult beauty, I'm most happy to help with this, as long as you kid is not looking for short-sightedness, you can do anything."
The car started, the road was long, the sun was shining, and today's weather was perfect for going out, and the cool wind blew on my face after the window was opened.
The trees outside skimmed by like marquees.
In his car, a song "Standing by and Watching" by Zhang Bichen was playing
The unique female voice and hoarse singing voice made me can't help but be in a trance.
How are you doing?
Is your body okay?
Think about it and don't think about it,
I thought about it again and again.
It's really hard to teach people.
The lyrics are very simple, without too many cumbersome and flowery words, but with the melodious and surging melody deep into my heart.
Aren't these words what I want to say to you?
Before I knew it, I fell asleep slowly, and in my dreams I dreamed of them again, they were smiling at me, waving at me, and I ran towards them with tears streaming down my face.
But I couldn't get close to them anyway, they got farther and farther away from me, until they disappeared, I wanted to shout, I couldn't make a sound, I wanted to run, I couldn't move.
I could only get to my knees and weep bitterly.
Suddenly, I felt someone shaking me, and I suddenly opened my eyes, and only then did I realize that I had a dream.
"I'm Cao, why did you react so much? It's in place. ”
My friend had already parked the car, he pointed it, I turned my head, and saw a very tall public security building, which should be here.
"Well, let's go, come with me." I said.
After we got out of the car, I walked in front and unconsciously quickened my pace, came to the communication room at the door, I knocked on the window, it was an uncle, and I don't know which leader's relative, I explained the intention after he smiled and asked me who Zhao Jianhua was.
I said it was a former comrade-in-arms, he nodded and made a call, and then put it down: "Xiaohua is resting today, or you can call her." ”
My friend pushed me: "You didn't contact me in advance?" ”
I smiled wryly: "I forgot." ”
"Then what to do, you contact that buddy now."
He also thought that Zhao Jianhua was a man, so he directly said that he was a buddy.
I thought for a moment, "Forget it, let's go back." ”
In fact, I don't know why I said this, as if I was a little frustrated, I immediately chose to retreat, and I didn't even dare to make a phone call.
At this time, my friend was stunned: "Huh? What's that? You said you came to see your comrades, so you're going back? ”
I nodded, and then walked to the car, and he walked beside me speechlessly, as if he wanted to complain.
I said, "Don't be angry, I'll invite you to drink when you go back." ”
He stopped complaining when he heard that I was inviting him to drink, and slowly became happy, this guy has this little benefit, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a drink, and he is also simple and straightforward, so we have been very compatible since we were young.
"Hey! Cripple! ”
I froze for a moment, the voice was too familiar, the three words "lame" were almost her exclusive name, I turned around slowly, and my friend turned his head curiously.
I saw a magpie in a formal suit standing by the doorman and smiling at me, what do you say? If I had to describe it in one sentence, it was really beautiful, and I had never seen a magpie in a formal suit.
I walked over excitedly, and she happily greeted me, as if she wanted to rush over and hug me, but she froze and stood in front of me when she thought of something.
"The sun is coming out in the west today, are you here to find me?" Magpie said with a smile.
I nodded: "Didn't the uncle say that you rested?" ”
The magpie covered his mouth and laughed for a while: "There is a man in our bureau with the same name as me, he thought you were looking for him, and I happened to see you in the window." ”
The friend came over and said hello to the magpie with a smile, and then leaned over and whispered, "This is the Zhao Jianhua?" How is it a woman? If I had known, I wouldn't have come. ”
I ignored him and just watched the magpie silly.
The magpie returned the salute to his friend and said to me, "What are you happy about?" Like a fool, wait for me to go back and change my clothes, and you're going to invite me to dinner today!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and trotted all the way back.
Now my friend blew up: "Good boy! I said that you are not sad how you broke up, it turns out that you still have one hand! Ay? Why haven't I heard you mention this beauty? ”
I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer: "It's just a meal, what are you talking about?" ”
"Okay, good, eat, eat, just have food, whoever invites it is the same." This guy has no other hobbies, he just likes to eat, he is happy when he hears that there is food, and there is such a beautiful beauty to accompany us to eat, can he not be happy?
I looked back at the back of the magpie trotting all the way, and I couldn't tell the joy in my heart.
In the canyon, "You go slowly, slow down, I'm the injured sister." ”
I limped behind the magpie with a wooden stick, and she was a little anxious, as if she was very anxious to contact Yang Yuan and them.
Seeing that my speed was not fast, he could only stop and wait for me.
"It's better to be faster, I'm afraid they're moving too."
I walked up to her: "Then you have to take care of my feelings, I don't have any injuries all over my body, this way of walking, my leg will have to be scrapped sooner or later." ”
The magpie frowned and came to hold my arm: "I'll hold you, let's hurry up." ”
Ignoring my objections, he took my hand and walked briskly.
This woman was so anxious that I couldn't keep up with her speed for a while, and the stick came out of her hand and fell to the ground: "Hey! My stick stick! ”
"What a stick, hurry up."
I had no stick to support me, so I had to put my weight on the magpie's arm, and I couldn't keep up with my feet, and I had to lift my left leg and jump with the magpie a few times before I took two steps, which was really funny.
The valleys on both sides gradually became narrower, and the stones under their feet began to gradually increase, and it became difficult to walk.
We could only slow down, and the magpie pressed and held the headset from time to time to call Yang Yuan.
But there was no movement in the headphones, and even the initial noise disappeared without a trace.
The magpie stopped in discouragement, we didn't sweat a drop in this temperature in this way, but we were still tired and panting.
"Magpie Commander, you are so anxious, I feel like my leg is no longer saved."
As I spoke, I leaned against a rock, wanting to rest for a while.
The magpie said: "If you don't save me, I'll raise you for the rest of your life, what a big deal." ”
I was amused by her: "Huh? That's what you said, don't regret it. ”
The magpie made a disgusted expression: "I mean, you can't be disabled, what are you worried about about that little wound?" ”
I didn't speak, thinking that if the hurt wasn't on you, you wouldn't feel the pain.
I held down the headset and called again, still without any response.
The valley in front of us is also coming to an end, because we can clearly see where the canyon disappeared from this position, and it is not very clear to see it outside, it is now four o'clock in the morning, and the sky will light up in a while.
"Rested?"
I nodded.
"Let's go!" The magpie helped me up, and I was once again pulled by her and jumped up and down her steps towards the outside of the canyon.
