Chapter 9 Like Water Without a Trace

Shi Shaoying's tone became bad, "It's only been five days since the newlywed honeymoon, and my wife received an order from her superiors and left in a hurry. Two months later, I was suddenly informed that my wife had died in the line of duty while on a special mission, and those turtle sons bastards didn't even give me a chance to see my wife for the last time, so they sent the urn directly to me. ”

Liu Erxi was dumbfounded, in the face of this too abrupt change, he really didn't know what to say more.

"I put the urn in her room, and from then on it was a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to enter it except me. During this period, several authors who had a good relationship with me and had attended an online writers' workshop together wanted to go to Taiyuan to see me, but I refused all because I was in a bad mood. Not only because I was in such a bad mood at the time, but more importantly, I didn't want to let a stranger into our home and ruin the breath she had left behind. ”

Shi Shaoying's voice became very strange and strange, "I have been in chaos for a year like this, staying at home every day and not wanting to move, except for coding a few words to make money, I just soak in online games to consume time." Just four months ago, two people suddenly ran into my house. These two guys, who used to be my soldiers, are all fighting and dare to pick axes, and they can make people unable to find super thorns in the southeast and northwest. ”

"These two guys were spoiled by me when they were in the army, and they developed the habit of empty-eyed everything, after returning to the place, although they have excellent military skills, but after all, they are not from the special forces, and they can't get into the eyes of those big bosses, and of course they can't be bodyguards, the two of them are very unsatisfactory outside, and then one day, I don't know which tendon is on the wrong string, and I want to run to Myanmar to break into the world. However, they felt that they were slightly inadequate in terms of their own ability, so they thought of pulling me, the company commander, who was also retired, to be their head. ”

It is impossible for Shi Shaoying to forget the surprise and happiness in his heart when the two confidants who had been separated for a long time suddenly found him.

The three of them went to the street stall to push the cup and change the lamp, and after three rounds of drinking, the two guys revealed their intentions: "Boss, come with us to Myanmar to carry 'white noodles', and make money a few times, let's wash our hands and not dry it", Shi Shaoying's wine was scared to wake up. He took the two soldiers back to his home, took out the wedding photos he had just taken, showed them to them, and then found a car that night, sent them to the train station, and bought them train tickets to Yunnan, plus a bag of fruit. In the end, he made another admonition: "I'm already married, and I can't do this kind of thing of playing with my head." In the future, if you mix well, don't look for me, I don't dare to collect that kind of money, let alone spend it; If you miss and are going to be sent to the execution ground to be shot, don't look for me, I don't want to experience that kind of parting between life and death, and I don't want to lose face. ”

After saying these words, he no longer looked at the faces of the two soldiers, and Shi Shaoying turned around and left.

What he didn't expect was that two years later, these two guys not only looked like people, but also dared to run in front of him again.

But fortunately, these two guys didn't really do the job of drug trafficking.

When they went to Burma, they soon found that in that land of chaos, veterans like them, who had professional military skills and dared to gamble their heads with their lives, had a fairly broad stage for development. They are in Myanmar casinos, serving as bodyguards for guests who have won a lot of money in the casino, protecting the guests from leaving the casino smoothly with their money; They train soldiers for generals who are building up their military forces to protect "farms" in the Golden Triangle, and by the way, they act as guides for those who want to negotiate business with these generals but have no way out, and charge guide fees.

In two years, the two of them can be regarded as getting along. But the biggest reason why they found Shi Shaoying was not to show off their achievements, or to pull Shi Shaoying into the gang, but: "Boss, we see my sister-in-law!" It seemed that my sister-in-law was under their custody, and my two brothers didn't know what was going on, so we ran over together. ”

Hearing these words, Shi Shaoying didn't say a word, and smashed a punch into the face of one of the soldiers, if it wasn't for a photo sent to him, which attracted all the attention of Shi Shaoying in an instant, Shi Shaoying really didn't dare to guarantee that he would not beat these two soldiers into the hospital.

"Although the quality of the photos is very poor, although it has been more than a year apart, I can still be sure at a glance that it is her, my wife who has been declared dead and her ashes are placed in the back room! The first judgment I made at that time was that my wife participated in a cross-border operation and was accidentally captured by mistake, and the state was unwilling to recognize the operation, let alone organize forces to rescue her. ”

Faced with such a change, Liu Erxi couldn't help but blurt out, "Then what?" ”

"Then I followed the two soldiers into Maiyangwang, Burma, and then diverted into the Golden Triangle, and after three months of preparation, I finally seized the opportunity to sneak into the village and rob her. In the process, a secret sentinel spotted us, and we were forced to die. When we retreated to safety, the first thing my wife did was give me a slap in the face. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Shaoying subconsciously reached out and stroked his face. Later, he learned that the people in that village were all descendants of the remnants of the Kuomintang who were unwilling to surrender after the end of the civil war decades ago and fled into Burma. Decades have passed, and the original partisan struggle has long been gradually forgotten, and what remains is the compatriot affection with a strip of water.

Because of this, Shi Shaoying's wife accepted the task of establishing contact with the military leaders of that village, using that village as a fulcrum to establish a monitoring platform for East Turkistan terrorists in Myanmar, and to prevent East Turkistan terrorists from sending drugs and weapons to China through Myanmar.

As a result, Shi Shaoying's fearless private actions broke this surveillance network, and there might have been room for explanation and reconciliation, but when the two sides saw blood and human lives, there was no room for everything to turn back. Because of Shi Shaoying's actions, the monitoring network carefully arranged by the Ministry of State Security has a huge loophole that is almost fatal!

"But ......"

Although he was in a desperate situation, Liu Erxi still couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to lie that she has died in the line of duty, and even ask someone to send you an urn, right?" What if you have remarried by the time she returns from her mission? ”

"She knows my personality too well."

Shi Shaoying sighed lightly, "The newlywed honeymoon has only lasted five days, and her vacation was forcibly canceled to carry out special tasks, and I was holding back my anger at that time. At that time, it was only two thousand and seven years, and there was still a full year and a half before the Olympics, and if she could disappear for a year or two as soon as she carried out her mission, it would be strange if I didn't blow up the nest! I don't have any other skills, and the bull's temper comes up and he dares to break through no matter what the disaster is, in order to prevent me from dragging her back, she took the initiative to propose such a method to her superiors, but I didn't expect that in the end, I made a mistake, and I still let me give a pot of destruction. ”

"That'...... Has your sister-in-law forgiven you now? ”

"Between strangers, what can't be forgiven?"

Shi Shaoying's face was very calm and calm, but what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew, "We are divorced." ”

In the past, all kinds of things seemed like water without a trace, but on that day, the serious conversation between the two of them face-to-face left an indelible mark in Shi Shaoying's heart.

It was a memory that he was most reluctant to face, but that often suddenly resurfaced in his mind......

"Shi Shaoying, you, like me, were born in a military family, and in the eyes of others, we are all **. Since we were born, we have enjoyed unimaginable power, we can receive free medical care, we can receive free education, we eat, wear, and play better than our peers around us, I don't know how many times, even if we are bullied, there are some people who want to convince our father to stand up and cheer for us. We enjoy so much power, so what kind of obligations do we fulfill to this country and to the people around us?! ”

"Shi Shaoying, since you retired from the army, you have changed. You have learned to complain, you think that you are a hero, you think that the country owes you, the army owes you, and you always use your temper tantrums to make trouble to show the outside world that you are there. But Shi Shaoying, have you ever thought that even if I take off my military uniform, I am still a soldier who has to accept all kinds of unconventional tasks at any time! You have to adjust your attitude and style of doing things because of the peculiarities of my profession, instead of putting yourself in the position of a commoner and acting rashly! ”

"The network we built in a year and six months has been completely destroyed by you, and the whole plan has become worthless. I have to spend more time and work harder to make up for the damage you have caused. This is my responsibility and obligation as a soldier and a wife, so I must continue to stay in the army! Considering your personality and our current situation...... Let's get a divorce! ”

"Shi Shaoying, after the divorce, can we still be friends?"

Shi Shaoying will never forget his answer at that time: "Impossible! ”

"After we get divorced, no matter what, you'll eventually remarry. If we were still friends, would you send me an invitation when you remarried? After I got this invitation, even if I didn't attend your wedding, in the evening, I couldn't help but wonder, have you been crushed by another man at this time? ”

Shi Shaoying stared at the woman in front of him, she was so beautiful, so proud and confident, she used to be his most cherished treasure, she used to be so weak, so that Shi Shaoying was willing to do everything to fight to the death for her. Now, ten years later, she is unassailably strong.

Life, like flowing water, gently but firmly changes everyone, although the two of them still like each other, but the relationship between them has ended.
