Gao Xu didn't finish for the time being, and he and Miaojin continued to wait in the hotel for about seven or eight days. Until a video came from an unfamiliar number. This made him feel a little surprised, because the efficiency is indeed very high, which is completely different from what Yang Kui said that "some local case files can drag on for decades".

The environment in the video is very desolate, surrounded by sand and loess, but there are vehicles with flashing lights, as well as soldiers, which are supposed to be execution grounds. A man with a back-tied tie was escorted out of the car, the hood over his head was pulled back, and the camera showed him a close-up. This person is none other than Amen.

Amin swung his upper body and said something loudly. Gao Xu, who clicked on the video, of course, didn't understand it at all, but he could feel the tone and expression. Ameen's face was full of horror and confusion, as if he was arguing.

But no one spoke to him, only the long shots were always pointed at him. Then he was pressed down and fell to his knees. As soon as the man who pressed him let go, he immediately struggled to get up and turned around.

Suddenly, a kick knocked him to the ground, and there was a "click" sound of opening the safety bolt. Amen cried, as if he was begging for mercy, but he was tied up behind his back, and in front of the soldiers with loaded guns, he could only be slaughtered by others, and there was no room for resistance. A moment later, gunshots rang out inside, and Amen stopped moving, and the long camera was shot at him again.

After the two of them sat on the chair and finished watching, Gao Xu said: "When he died, he didn't seem to know what was going on. ”

"He himself has committed a great sin, and he doesn't know why, alas." Miao Jin's expression was strange.

"I really don't know." Gao Xue said.

He breathed a sigh of relief and put his phone aside.

Miaojin asked, "The criminals have been severely punished, are you feeling better?" ”

Gao Xu turned his head and muttered for a moment, "It's a little empty, but it's normal." He continued, "Anyway, we've been here long enough, let's get ready to go back to China." This is not our home. ”

Before leaving, they visited Mona in the hospital one more time. Gao Xu brought a sum of money with him, because he had promised before, and he was a man of promises most of the time.

The doctor said that Mona was out of danger, and also met two older local men and women, who were presumably Mona's parents. But Gao Xu didn't understand a word of what those two people said.

Mona is still lying in a hospital bed, unable to move, and on a ventilator. However, when she saw Gao Xu and Miao Jin, her hand still moved, and she stared at them with her eyes, as if to indicate her sobriety.

Gao Xu remembered what she had said before, how nice it would be if she didn't worry about work and just hang out.

Thinking of this sentence, the scene that came to Gao Xu's mind at this time was not the night market here; Rather, it is as if you have returned to the bazaars of the southern coastal region of a certain period, surrounded by many labor-intensive factories, and the bazaars were very prosperous and abundant. Illusory visions, unlimited by time, fly in the mind.

At this moment, Gao Xu felt that his series of actions did not seem to be based solely on jealousy or hatred, or out of sympathy. Because he knows very well in his heart that in the world of six or seven billion people, similar tragedies are being staged every day.

"Sometimes, it's like there's a train in front of you that doesn't come from anywhere or where it's going. It was full of people, all of whom looked hurried. At this time, when you find that you and a few people are not on the train, you will panic inexplicably, and the scenery along the way is naturally not important. Gao Xu slowly described a headless feeling.

Only Miaojin was listening, and she looked sideways slightly, observing Gao Xu, as if trying to understand him. Even if you are close to Miaojin, you can't fully understand him, after all, everyone's experience is different.

Gao Xu came back to his senses, and at this time, the two locals also walked in, and Yang Kui also followed into the ward.

Gao Xu asked Mona, "Are they your parents?" If yes, just blink your eyes twice, and don't move if not. ”

Mona blinked twice.

The woman who had just come in began to cry and immediately began to babble, but of course Gao Xu still did not understand a word.

Yang Kui actually began to translate: "What should I do, what should I do...... She is our greatest hope, and we are all waiting for her to go abroad to earn money and send it back, and there are younger brothers and sisters to support......"

Only the woman's chatter and crying were left in the ward, and the rest of the people were silent, and no one tried to persuade the woman, and the atmosphere was strange.

Gao Xu picked up a small bag containing money, handed it to the woman, and said, "I promised Mona before. ”

Yang Kui translated.

The woman stopped crying for a moment, took the bag, and opened it to look at it. Her expression was a little surprised and dazed, but she should have roughly understood that this was a gift.

At this time, Mona's hand rose, and Miao Jin stepped forward to hold her hand. Mona slowly gestured to the gesture of writing, and Miaojin understood, so she took out a pen and paper from her bag, and carefully placed the pen between her fingers. After a long time, Mona wrote some crooked Chinese characters: I want to be born in the Ming Kingdom and be your child.

There was silence for a while.

Gao Xu suddenly had a feeling that one of the sources of pain for this girl lying down was her dreams, if she just wanted to survive in the world, it shouldn't be so difficult, because most of the local people lived like that, after all, the government had also subsidized food.

He couldn't say these words, so he could only comfort him with a few kind words: "I hope you will recover your body soon." You speak Chinese very well, and you work hard, and the wider world welcomes talented and good people. ”

Miaojin put away the notebook and pen and silently put it in her backpack.

Mona was completely speechless, and the three of them said goodbye to her and left the hospital.

When he returned to the hotel, Gao Xu rebooked his ticket for tomorrow and called Yang Kui to take him to the airport tomorrow.

Gao Xu found that Miaojin was still observing himself intently, so he said, "What? Do you still want to write a "The Life of Liu Gang"? ”

Miao Jin shook her head with a wry smile, and after a while, she spoke: "In today's world, there are still a large number of people who are lucky, and if they only look at the life around them, they may be in a better mood." If you think too much and too deeply, it will feel a little heavy. ”

"You're right." Gao Xu echoed.

Miao Jin thought for a moment, "During the martial arts period, someone seemed to have said that this world needs capable geniuses to rule. ”

Gao Xu was noncommittal. He pondered for a moment before saying: "Do you know, why in the war during the Wude period, the military discipline of the Ming army was very good, and there were few cases of arson and looting?

At that time, there were some very knowledgeable civilian and military generals in the army, and there was a saying that military discipline was promoted. That is, to maintain order on the battlefield and to collect taxes for a long time, and to get more than to directly rob and waste. ”

He paused and asked, "The officials who put forward such a proposition seem to be capable people. ”

"Yes, objectively, it has also done good things, so that the people in the battlefield can suffer less." Miao Jin Road.

Gao Xu said in a deep voice: "But there is a metaphor for this matter. Suppose there is a bad guy who does all kinds of evil, and he has two plans to commit the crime, one is to directly kill the innocent woman, and the other is to tie up the person and ban it illegally, and then humiliate him for a long time. Which one is a good thing? I do not know. But it is clear that in the latter case, the perpetrator gains more. ”

Miaojin frowned and said, "What you say is sometimes too harsh. ”

Gao Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But this is one of the achievements after the constitutionalism, people in the past liked to say more tactfully, even most of them were lies, and then people began to hate such a habit, so some people directly expressed the truth." Truth be told, it's often a bit harsh. ”

Miao Jin thought for a moment and said, "But you're right, the nature of some bad guys hasn't changed in the slightest. According to the statistics of the International Peace Alliance, two million women and children in the civilized world are still kidnapped and trafficked every year, and many of them die from illegal abuse. After spending a long time in the sun, sometimes it is impossible to imagine these data. ”

Gao Xu nodded yes.

The next morning, they packed their bags and left the place. Originally, he was a passerby, just to travel.

Yang Kui drove them to the airport. Finally about to say goodbye to this hot and earthy scene, Gao Xu's mood was somewhat complicated. From the point of view of travel and fun, this trip is really not a pleasant one.

At the door of the somewhat dilapidated departure hall, he turned around and shook hands with Yang Kui, and said two words of thanks to Yang Kui for his special pick-up and help these days.

Letting go of his hand, Gao Xu took a backpack and stood there thinking for a moment. The security in Daming is very good, not to mention that Gao Xu's business is completely legal, and he is very active in paying taxes, and the Taicang government is quite satisfied and respectful of him, so Gao Xu doesn't need it for the time being, a retired Ming soldier like Yang Kui.

"I seem to have said before that I work in film and television." Gao Xu said, "If Master Yang wants to return to China to live, you can contact me when the time comes." If you want, you should have no problem working in the security of the film studio. ”

Yang Kui nodded and said, "Then I thank you first, if you return to China, you must contact Mr. Liu." ”

Gao Xu said: "There will be a period later." ”

Yang Kui said: "I wish you two all the best." ”

After a series of processes, Gao Xu and Miao Jin got into the first class cabin of Daming Airlines' big plane, and suddenly seemed to have entered another world. The familiar and rounded Chinese broadcasting sound, as well as the smiling flight attendants in traditional costumes, and various technological and convenient facilities, will give people the illusion of wearing a different era. The stewardess even brought two quilts of sweet red wine.

Gao Xu turned his head to Miao Jin and said, "When I just woke up from the hospital last year, I thought that all human beings had entered the cosmic age of high civilization. Looking at it now, that's actually what it is. ”

Miaojin said softly: "It should be much better than in ancient times." ”

"Yes." Gao Xu responded.
