At night, Lin Hai drove the car and shuttled through the traffic.

"Ding Dong~"

Lin Hai heard the message of the mobile phone, pinched his nose with his right hand, and sighed secretly: You won't really be infected by Jing En, right?

Lin Hai opened WeChat, and a few lines of text were displayed in Che Junyi's message box: I have something to do tomorrow, and I will settle in Jia'an Real Estate, and the specific implementation plan has been sent to you and Yu Jing's mailboxes, so that Wu Qiang can proceed as planned.

Lin Hai read the news, shook his head and smiled, and said to himself: "This product has finally tasted the sweetness of love." ”

Lin Hai thought that Che Junyi and Yu Jing were together, and didn't think much about it, so he replied to Che Junyi: OK!

Lin Hai raised his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, the time showed 8:30, Lin Hai suddenly had a lot of thoughts, and sighed in a low voice: "I don't know what Li Xue is doing?" ”

After speaking, he turned around at the intersection and drove to Li Xue's residence.

The traffic flow on a moonlit night is driving in an orderly manner under the guidance of the traffic lights.

Che Junyi is in the countryside hundreds of miles away, the air here is full of the smell of cooking smoke, and in the distance, there are only a few faint lights.

This is Cha Junyi's hometown.

In the autumn night, the cool breeze is slow, there is little starlight, the waning moon hides behind the clouds, and the silent night is no longer so bright.

The lights in the distance are also disappearing.

In the dark night when no one was around, Che Junyi parked the car at the entrance of the village, and saw the country road by the not-so-bright moonlight, which was still as tortuous as a sheep's intestine, and there were only empty fields after the autumn harvest around, bare, and extremely desolate.

He turned on the car's high beams, which shone in front of the car as if it were daytime.

Che Junyi got out of the car, leaned on the car door, lowered his head, lowered his eyes, lit a cigarette, stroked the placket of his clothes, he took a deep breath, and then tilted his head and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.

He hadn't been back for many years, five years since the day he left home to enlist in the army.

Cha Junyi's face was blurred in the hazy smoke.

A cigarette burned out, and he waited for no one to come......

"Brother, you're back." Cha Junyi followed the sound and looked at the position where the headlights were shining.

The strong and dazzling light shines on people extraordinarily dazzlingly.

Che Junyi knew very well who the person who came, so he answered: "Hmm", and then threw the cigarette in his hand on the dirt road, stepped on the cigarette butt, and extinguished it.

Cha Junyi turned around and pulled the car door and sat in the cab.

The passenger driver's door was also opened, and a young man dressed casually, wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, sat in the passenger cab, which was especially redundant in the dark night.

Cha Junyi turned off the high beams.

The only light in the car was the silence of the night.

The young man took off the cap, touched his hair, took off his sunglasses again, and when he looked at Che Junyi, his hand unconsciously touched the scar around his left eye.

His left eye was slitted with a slit, his socket was collapsing, and the scar around his eye looked like an apple that was about to rot after a long time had healed.

As if he had just recovered from a serious illness, his complexion was very poor.

He smiled slightly and said, "Brother, how have you been doing all these years?" ”

"Zhiyuan...... If I said that I had a hard time every day, would you believe it? Cha Junyi's eyes were slightly red, and he struggled to control his emotions.

"I believe, who made us good brothers, we grew up wearing a pair of pants." Zhang Zhiyuan's left eye was injured and the eyeball was removed, and he could only squint into a slit, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. In the right eye, there are obvious tears swirling again.

Che Junyi listened to Zhang Zhiyuan's words, leaned on the back of the seat, tilted his head, and breathed with his mouth open, silent, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes.

"I was discharged from the army two years ago, why didn't you contact me? Do you dislike me? Zhang Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Che Junyi and smiled very far-fetched.

"No, I've never disliked you, I'm just very guilty, what I did when I was young, so I don't know how to face you." Che Junyi turned his head to look at Zhang Zhiyuan and hurriedly explained.

"Brother, don't worry about what happened when you were young......" Zhang Zhiyuan was still smiling, and that smile made Che Junyi feel that his heart was in severe pain.

Che Junyi faced Zhang Zhiyuan, opened his mouth, didn't speak, just slapped him twice, Zhang Zhiyuan's shoulder, then turned his head, looked out of the dark car window, and the tears in the corners of his eyes instantly crossed Che Junyi's cheeks.

"Brother, I'm looking for you because I have something to ask for......" Zhang Zhiyuan cautiously said his intention.

"You say, if only I could do it." Che Junyi looked at Zhang Zhiyuan with a smile, as if he had found a way to atone for his sins, and he was happy to do something for Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes were red, he didn't have the smile just now, he choked up and said: "My dad has something wrong with his kidneys, and he hasn't been able to find a suitable kidney, at present, he is relying on medical equipment to maintain his life, my situation, brother, you also know it......"

Che Junyi took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, handed it to Zhang Zhiyuan, and took out a lighter to help him light it. Zhang Zhiyuan was trying his best to control his emotions, holding a cigarette, and couldn't help but tremble.

Cha Junyi also lit a cigarette for himself.

"There's a brother, what's the panic? As long as money can solve it, it is not a problem. Che Junyi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his index finger, and comforted Zhang Zhiyuan with a smile: "I'll go back to raise money, and at this time tomorrow, I'll come back with the money, you wait for me." ”

"Brother......" Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to say something and stopped, he wanted to say something thankful, but he didn't know how to say it, he put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray in the car and sniffed.

"You don't have to say it, I know it all. Thank you for remembering me in difficult times, I'm honored. Che Junyi patted Zhang Zhiyuan on the shoulder, as if he had restored his former brotherhood.

"Can you give me another cigarette?" Zhang Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva, and the expression in his eyes seemed to be praying for Che Junyi.

"There's only half a pack of cigarettes left, you take them. I don't have a lot of cash here, that's all, you take it first. Che Junyi took out the cash in his wallet and stuffed it all to Zhang Zhiyuan.

"Brother......" Zhang Zhiyuan took the cash stuffed by Che Junyi with both hands, and he was sad and didn't know what to do.

"It's so late, I'll send you back to the hospital, you go back to accompany Uncle Zhang first, and I'll come over as soon as possible tomorrow."

As he spoke, Che Junyi turned on the front and rear lights and started the car.

Time passed minute by minute, and on the way back to the city alone, Che Junyi recalled everything that happened when he was young:

That golden autumn, the learning atmosphere of the third year of high school, has just entered a period of various tensions, around the campus, surrounded by towering poplars, because the aspen in the spring, there will always be some cotton wool, so under the urban environment planning of the municipal government, the poplar has been cut down partially, and the roots of the tree are naturally exposed to the open land.

At the end of class, the playground was full of laughter and bustling. Che Junyi teamed up with Zhang Zhiyuan to skip class and planned to climb over the wall.

Che Junyi, who was the first to jump off the wall, waved his hands and encouraged, Zhang Zhiyuan, who was squatting on the wall and didn't dare to jump down: "Zhiyuan, jump, if you don't jump again, the teacher will see you." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan looked back, because of nervousness, his feet slipped, and he fell, and when he landed, his face hit the ground, and it happened that he was pricked in the eyes by the jagged roots, and the red blood flowed half of Zhang Zhiyuan's face.

"My eyes...... My eyes ......" Zhang Zhiyuan covered his face with his hands in pain and yelled.

Inside the fence, the students on the playground are still playing happily and enjoying the joy of their spare time.

Che Junyi was frightened by Zhang Zhiyuan's condition, he was timid and afraid of things, so he ran back to the classroom, leaving Zhang Zhiyuan alone with a bloody face, yelling in pain, and turning in circles......

"Di-Di-" A large truck approached on-demand, honking his horn continuously, signaling Che Junyi to pull over and give way.

Che Junyi was dazzled by the lights of the big truck, and hurriedly struggled out of the pain of memories. He slammed the steering wheel to the right and nearly got into a car accident.

Cha Junyi stopped the car and wanted to smoke a cigarette to stabilize his panicked mood.

Pulling the storage box in the car, he remembered that the remaining half of the box of cigarettes and the Unicom lighter were all given to Zhang Zhiyuan by him.

Cha Junyi stopped on the side of the road, thinking about everything just now.

Zhang Zhiyuan is in urgent need of money because of his father's illness, and he has a meager income, so he can only save money all day long, which makes him a man in his eighties, thin and without the handsome appearance of high school, he is reluctant to buy cigarettes, Che Junyi's heart is sharp, as if he has been deeply stabbed by a dagger, and he tightens the clothes on his chest in pain.

If he didn't have a choice, he ran back to the classroom and went to class safely. Instead, he ran to call the teacher and classmates and went back to help Zhang Zhiyuan together. Maybe Zhang Zhiyuan's situation will not be so bad.

Che Junyi, who was full of guilt, thumped the steering wheel in front of him, his hair became messy, the tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled, and the moment he burst out of his eyes, he soaked Cha Junyi's angular cheeks.

At the beginning, the two agreed that they would not be admitted to the ideal university, so they went to enlist in the army together.

But Che Junyi took advantage of the fact that during Zhang Zhiyuan's suspension of study and hospitalization, he went to the recruitment office alone to register, and he didn't dare to face Zhang Zhiyuan, so he wanted to hide far away.

He was also afraid that Zhang Zhiyuan would wake up and report him, about skipping class, Zhang Zhiyuan was injured, because of his cowardice, Zhang Zhiyuan failed to receive treatment in time, resulting in Zhang Zhiyuan's left eyeball enucleation and permanent blindness.

But Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have lost his memory, and never mentioned it, everything that happened at that time, in fact, Zhang Zhiyuan at that time deeply understood that what he lost was not only an eye, but also Che Junyi, a friend who played since childhood, he hated Che Junyi very much, why did he run away after leaving him injured?

He also knew that because of the blindness in his left eye, he could no longer join the army, and he didn't want to drag Che Junyi down after more than ten years of relationship.

Che Junyi was able to live so comfortably that he joined the army.

He was very envious of Che Junyi, but the more he envied, the more heartache he felt.

It wasn't until his father suffered from kidney disease that everything he could sell at home was sold, and everything that relatives and friends could borrow was borrowed, and there was really no way out, so he contacted Che Junyi with the mentality of trying it out.
