38. Stories are things in the past

Thick clouds occupy half of the sky, and the clouds are constantly changing shapes, like a dragon, like a tiger, like a predatory lion, like a man's face, like a smiling face.

The city looms under the clouds, the tall buildings disappear into the clouds, and as far as the eye can see, the ruins fill the field of vision, the crows chirp fiercely, the corpses of children emerge from the side of the road like a montage, the old man kneeling and crying, the man with half of his body remaining, the head of a woman wrapped in a turban ......, and a scrawny dog with a half-amputated hand......

Shells whizzed and fell to the ground, shrapnel flew, a huge crater appeared in the ground, the body of the child was gone, the old man was gone, the half-body of the man was gone, the head of the woman was missing......

Da Teng and Tadpole ......, their camouflage uniforms were dark red with blood, lying lifeless on the edge of the crater, Kevlar helmets tossed aside, guns in their hands clenched tightly......

The captain's face was pale, and he held a dagger in his hand......

The fire is burning, the war is burning......

……

The scenery changed suddenly.

A two-person iron fir hugging the thickness of the tree, towering into the clouds, lush branches, steep and straight, Da Teng jumped down from the half-meter-thick branch with a smile. In one hand he held a Type 97 assault rifle, and in the other he held a ...... that had been pinched half to death.

He beckoned, Mo Lei wanted to walk over, but Da Teng turned behind the tree and disappeared.

The night came unexpectedly, as if a hand was holding a black pot lid and draped the sky, but it still could not stop the rays of the sun, which struggled to gild the edge of the darkness with a circle of gold.

The tree in front of me is gone.

What catches the eye is the empty valley, the black in the sky has turned into a fiery red, the color slowly changes, the red has become blood red, the sky is getting lower and lower from top to bottom, pressing on the mountains on both sides of the valley, between heaven and earth seems to be supported by the mountains, the four fields are silent, a leaf is rolling on the ground, rolling to his feet, the leaves are also like life, rolling back and forth at the feet, reluctant to give up......

There was a huge roar in the valley, like a galloping horse, earth-shattering, and a white line of water rolled from the other end of the valley, sweeping everything, destroying everything, and taking everything with him, including himself.

He was once again plunged into boundless darkness.

"I volunteered to join ......".

The oath is like your own voice.

He walked over and saw his young self, olive green against his dark face, the stars on his collar shining brightly, the tiny beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, the excited expression on his face, the red flag reflected in his pupils, and the passion radiant......

He was not surprised that he could see himself, he saw himself playing ball, he saw himself going to school, he saw himself getting up late at night to train, he saw himself crawling in the mud, and he saw himself sad and weeping .......

The roar of the gunship sounded, accompanied by the fierce gunfire of the on-board machine gun, Mo Lei heard that it was the sound of the machine gun used by the M249 paratrooper squad, and the bursting gunfire lasted for a long time......

Why are you a person? What about them? What about the others? Tadpoles, Da Teng, Big Heads, King Kong, Crows, Coyotes...... Why aren't they there?

"Are you fucking stupid? Why do you want to take off your uniform? Yes? The military academy is also a troops, and the rear is just as loyal, is there a soldier like you? The state spends a lot of money to teach you skills, and your skills should be taught to your students in school, and you are going to change the? Come here, I'll beat you to death ......."

This is Daddy's voice.

Mo Lei burst into tears.

The scenery in front of him was gone, and my father was wearing a faded military uniform, his short gray hair stood on his head like a hedgehog, his eyes were blazing, and the cigarette in his hand was almost burning to his fingers.

"Daddy......." Mo Lei stretched out his hand and wanted to hug his father.

Hug me again, Daddy.

Dad, come and beat me up.

Do you know? How much do I want you to beat me up again after all these years? But why did you leave all of a sudden? Never back.

The father's figure instantly became taller, his white hair turned black, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, but the seriousness on his face did not change, the shirt on his body looked a little shabby, and his hand was touching Mo Lei's head, "I was fighting at school again, right?"

I'm so tired, Dad.

The dark clouds came again, a small dark cloud, blocking the sun, the glow pierced the dark clouds, shining on the distant mountains, the bare mountain tops seemed to be covered with blood, a huge strange bird whistled its wings over its head, making a piercing and sharp chirp, it had four claws, each of which seemed to grasp a person......

I saw clearly, the strangeness of the strange bird was that it had a human face, a pale and dead human face......

Mo Lei pulled out a gun from behind his back with his backhand, he wanted to kill the bird, it was an inauspicious bird.

The dark clouds suddenly dispersed, the sunlight became soft and warm, Mo Lei squinted, looked up at the sun, and the burning sensation spread from the top of his head to his limbs, it hurt so much.

There seemed to be a voice in the distance, the sun seemed to be covered with a light veil, hazy, and the aperture spread out one by one, slowly filling the field of vision, looking up, white ...... everywhere.

"The most important thing for him now is to get some rest." It's a man's voice.

"Yes." This is a woman's answer.

"If I can't find you, you can find any doctor who can help him remove the stitches, and the stitches can be removed in about 5 days, I think, I shouldn't be able to see you, right?"

"Yes doctor, thank you very much."

"No thanks, you're a very nice person, very generous, okay, I'm leaving, I hope to have a chance to hear from you, but it's better not to, goodbye."

"Goodbye, doctor."

A man and a woman ended the conversation, the door closing softly, the footsteps soft, getting closer and closer to themselves, and the face of a woman appeared in view, blocking the light, and the light sprinkled on her golden hair, casting shadows on her smooth skin, as if she had a glowing ...... on her body.

"How are you?" The woman hung her head and her voice was gentle.

Just woke up from a coma, Mo Lei's mind was empty and uncomfortable, and after a while, he came back to his senses.

"You've been badly injured, but you're okay now."

"How many days have I been in a coma? Why don't you leave? Mo Lei's voice was weak and hoarse.

Tina hugged her shoulders and looked at him cautiously, "You're seriously injured and you've been in a coma for two days, but you'll be fine as long as you recuperate for a while." The doctor just left, I used your cash, you have a lot of money, I gave him a scary amount, but I heard that he is very reliable, I was driving, I kept hearing you say that you want to find a doctor, you know where the doctor lives, you keep repeating, I heard clearly, and then I went to him, and then I came here to ....... ”

Tina's words were a little messy.

"Where are we now?"

"We were in the town of Chincira, close to Pereira and 40 km from the previous place. The doctor was found in the town of Lomento, and he should know you. However, he probably wants to stay away from you now, because your photos are plastered all over the streets of Romento. ”

"What's the matter with you......." Mo Lei tried his best to sit up, but his whole body was soft and weak. Tina leaned down and put a pillow under his head.

"I'll tell you what's going on, I think I understand." Tina clasped her hands to her chest and stood in front of Mo Lei's bed, her azure eyes became firm, "You know, there is a brute who really wants to rape me, and then he will kill me according to his previous arrangement - throw me into the rolling river, you stopped them at the bridge, once called me for help, you tried your best, under the premise of being pointed at gunpoint, you can't do anything, I know, but, you still came back, although I don't know how you ran away, you were seriously injured, you can go away by yourself, but you still came back to save me." ”

"After that, I made a very difficult decision, this kind of decision, probably only the kind of person who was raped, and then did not die, and then was saved, I decided to save you too, as long as I got you back, I will not hesitate, and then I can leave."

"Why don't you go to the police? Why not go to the embassy? Mo Lei smiled faintly.

"I was nervous at first, and sometimes when my mental capacity is too high, you can automatically ignore something that you see with your own eyes. I've heard that the scariest thing about a woman is being raped, and now I believe it, I'm a lawyer. I'm just now discovering that I've learned to think rationally in what kind of environment, and I'm filled with disgust when I hear your roar...... I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life, thank you. ”

"Where's the embassy?"

"Mr. Mo Lei, I heard them call you that, I don't know if you really call this name, I can't stay in this place for too long, maybe a few days, maybe a few hours, after arranging you, I will leave, this kind of thing, it's useless to find anyone, I just want to leave this ghost place quickly."

"So you drove me out of that city?"

"At first, no, I was in tatters and dirty, I first washed it briefly by the river, then drove the car to the slums, and pulled a few clothes to change into at the place where clothes were dried outside, I found the money in your bag, and then found a public phone booth, dialed the phone number where you were grunting in a coma, told the doctor about the place, and then drove here."

"You're smart and organized."

"I know."

"You ...... the car."

"After your surgery, I drove the car to a small town 20 kilometers away from here, where there is a garbage disposal station, and then I took the bus around and took a ride back here."

"If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble, and now the police need to find me alone, and you." Mo Lei smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, we'll have a way."

Tina's answer was crisp and confident.

"I ...... Did I talk nonsense in my coma? ”

"You...... You're crying, you're talking something I don't understand, crying so much...... you're crying. Tina thought for a moment before replying.

"However, people like you probably only shed tears in their dreams."
