What the city lord did was not for the good of the people of Yuancheng at all, that person was just pursuing his own life value------ a spiritual selfish desire that could bring satisfaction.

For his own desires, Fei Xiang kidnapped the entire Kite City.

"Huh...... Kite City People...... It's sad enough. Instead of returning to his job, Hou Hanmin swerved back to his home at the end of the pedestrian street and opened the door.

His wife, who is also his former sister-in-law and Wang Puzhao's wife, Cuiyun, stood in the living room, holding the little girl with tears on her face with one hand. On the table next to it was a sorted package, not big, just a few pieces of linen clothes, and dry food for three or five meals.

"Cleaned up?" Hou Hanmin asked in a low voice.

Cuiyun nodded.

"Bring more dry food."

"It's already all the dry food at home."

Hou Hanmin sighed, in the society of Yuancheng, what is eaten, what is worn, what is used, what is used, what is lived, and even how much his wife ...... All are allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For hard goods like dry food, their family can save for three days is already very good, and more families are afraid that they will not even be able to make up the amount for two days.

"Let's go." He took out the crumpled cigarette case, looked at the three cigarettes that were left inside, shook his hand through the opening, and finally put it back in.

Cuiyun and the little girl followed him out of the room.

There was a dense burst of gunfire ahead, explosions appeared in the south, and black clouds rose into the sky like evil dragons.

Fei Fei was frightened, hugged Cuiyun's leg and cried loudly.

Hou Hanmin walked over to comfort her a few words, picked up the little girl, and continued to move forward.

Maybe it's because the man's shoulders are very broad and his chest is very warm, and he is more secure than a woman's embrace, Fei Fei didn't cry, but just hugged his neck.

"I miss Dad...... I miss my dad......"

Hou Hanmin: "......"

He didn't know what to say and could only respond with silence.

Tell Fei Fei that Tang Yan killed Wang Puzhao? So what is Fei Xiang who colluded with Tang Yan? In terms of evil, I am afraid that the latter is the culprit who killed Wang Puzhao.

Hou Hanmin led the two of them to pick up small roads and hidden lanes, and the target was the toppled building in the north of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hou Susu, where are we going?" Fei Fei blinked her eyes with long eyelashes and asked very seriously.

The little girl didn't intend to ask, and for Cuiyun who followed behind, the above words pointed directly to her heart. She had just discovered a problem, Hou Hanmin was not taking her to the evacuation channel.

"Where are we going...... It's going for a ride. Is it okay for Hou Susu to take Fei Fei out for a walk? ”

"Okay, okay." The little girl applauded merrily, her fear of the guns suppressed by the excitement of being able to get out of town.

Women and children are generally not allowed to leave the city------ except for working in the mines, only the soldiers of the city defense army and the subordinates of the city lord's palace system have the opportunity to leave the city and set foot on the land outside.

Hou Hanmin simply said, "Go outside", but Cuiyun's face changed when she heard it, and she seemed to realize something.

Hou Hanmin led the two of them to turn left and right, entered a room in danger of collapsing in the innermost part of the ruins, and after putting down Fei Fei, he lifted the tattered blanket spread on the ground, revealing a wooden board embedded in the surface.

He moved the plank out of the way again, and inside was a downward passage.

Cuiyun was stunned for a moment: "This is ......"

Hou Hanmin said: "It seems that Brother Wang told you about the secret passage......

This half-collapsed building is very dangerous, has not been put into use, in a state of abandonment, in the past, he and Wang Puzhao went on a business trip to the city or the countryside, would always secretly hide a little wine back, in order not to let others see gossip, would sneak here to drink and fart.

Over time, they discovered that the building was much more solid than it appeared from the outside, and after further exploration, the two discovered an underground passage that allowed them to exit the pedestrian street and reach an abandoned food processing workshop in the northwest.

They don't know who the people who dig the tunnels are, what kind of stories they have, they care about the underground passages.

Hou Hanmin was originally going to report the matter, but Wang Puzhao stopped him.

Although it was politically incorrect, he complied with his best friend's wishes, and the passage became a secret to the hearts of the two.

At that time, he did not expect that he would really use this secret passage one day.

Cuiyun heard this sentence and whispered: "It's just that I didn't expect that the person who brought me here was not him, it was you ......"

"......" Hou Hanmin was silent for a while and said, "Time is pressing, let's leave here first." ”

Cuiyun nodded, didn't ask more, and followed Hou Hanmin into the secret passage.

The road below was not smooth and there were no lights shining, but fortunately, Hou Hanmin had a flashlight with him to help the two of them leave the pedestrian street area as quickly as possible and enter the ruins of Kitetown.

I don't know how long it has been, but when Hou Hanmin pushed open the lid on a corner of the courtyard of the food processing workshop and picked up Cuiyun, the sound of gunfire from the pedestrian street was no longer very clear.

He made the right direction, told Cuiyun and Fei Fei to wait, and walked alone to the abandoned car repair shop in front of him.

After a short while, as the roller shutter door opened upwards, the roar of the locomotive engine was heard inside, and a side three-wheeled motorcycle rushed out of the door.

Cuiyun didn't get into the car immediately, and handed over a letter under Hou Hanmin's questioning gaze.

"What's that?"

"Letter, the letter that I will give you."

Hou Hanmin looked at the southern sky and took the letter.

As he opened the letter, Cuiyun continued: "He said...... If one day he can't come back, hopefully I'll give it to you. ”

Hou Hanmin was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this was a suicide note...... But why for yourself? Shouldn't it be given to Cuiyun and Feifei under normal circumstances?

These questions were solved after he unfolded the letter and saw Wang Puzhao's message.

Wang Puzhao died in Tang Yan's sneak attack on the transport convoy in Yuancheng, Hou Hanmin always thought that he was a coward, and Wang Puzhao was able to stand up in the face of enemies wearing power armor, proving his loyalty to the people of Yuancheng.

But is that really the case......

In the past, Hou Hanmin would disagree with the content of this letter, and even think that Wang Puzhao was rebellious.

Now the situation is different.

It turned out that since a few years ago, Wang Puzhao had deep doubts about what Fei Xiang and Jiang Heng had done, and how many times did he ask himself, is the path Fei Xiang chose for the people of Yuancheng right?

If there is a multiple-choice question, on the surface, it seems that more than 90% of the people of Kite City will agree with the will of the city lord...... However, if the people of Yuancheng had not received hatred education in the past, giving more people the space to read and write and think independently, would they still agree with the will of the city lord?

Wang Puzhao felt very confused, as his military career continued to grow, he had seen all kinds of so-called "dedication" and so-called "sacrifice", including Niu Feng, Xiao Yong and others who defrauded the regeneration potion, he deeply felt that there was no hope for such a kite city, and everyone played "self" in an exclusive world made up by Fei Xiang.

In more understandable terms, Kite City is Fei Xiang's personal kingdom of God.

Yes, it is the kingdom of the individual, more extreme than the kingdom of the individual.

Wang Puzhao became more and more disgusted with Fei Xiang and Jiang Heng, and his heart became more and more depressed, feeling that life had lost its meaning, and it was better to die than to live like a walking corpse.

He had the intention to die------ which stemmed from his awareness of his own predicament, the sins of those in power, but he was powerless to change the darkness of Kite City. He has a wife and children, and he has no way to give up on them, so he can only endure and be depressed, becoming a gun in the hands of Fei Xiang and Jiang Heng, and a slave under his feet.

The first half of the letter is Wang Puzhao's accusation against Fei Xiang and Jiang Heng, as well as his sadness and frustration at not being able to change the current situation.

The second half is the last words left for Hou Hanmin.

Wang Puzhao didn't know if he could continue to persevere, if he died one day, whether it was by suicide or in the military campaign initiated by the city lord, he hoped that Hou Hanmin would take care of Cuiyun and Fei Fei, instead of focusing all his energy on avenging him...... Because sometimes the murderer is not the real enemy of the slain.

Wang Puzhao also said that he knew that Hou Hanmin liked Cuiyun...... If one day he dies and there is a good brother to take care of the mother and daughter, he will smile and be happy.

This is the end of the last words.

Hou Hanmin's hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

He recalled that before the convoy left Jicheng, Hou Hanmin contacted the Yuancheng side, and the soldiers who knew him happily said that there was a big man in Yuancheng, and the visit of the deputy commander of the Panda Man Legion would improve the relationship between Yuancheng and Gem City, and they would eat cheap canned sea fish in the future.

Wang Puzhao was very happy, brought a lot of gifts to Fei Fei in the Jecheng market, and spent a lot of money to buy Cuiyun a tape that burned "sweet honey".

But what happened next?

The man who had come to Kite City with good intentions suddenly attacked the convoy, turning from a peacemaker to a violent robber.

From the perspective of ordinary people, they will be angry, shocked, and will grit their teeth at the deputy leader of the Panda Man Legion.

Wang Puzhao doesn't, he knows more and thinks more.

All the illusions were shattered, all the expectations were worn out, and it turned out that Tang Yan was not the guide to the light of the city of kites, but a qualified foreign aid from the city lord.

He was angry, he hated, and he was shocked, but the object of anger, hatred, and shock was not the man named Tang Yan, but the "Great City Lord" named Fei Xiang. "Because what happened to Xiao Yong and Niu Feng is now happening to me...... It doesn't matter if it's a curse of fate, or it's a historical irony.

Although Hou Hanmin didn't know what Wang Puzhao's mood was at that time, but in connection with the content of this suicide note, there is a high probability that he will be disappointed in the future and life, and finally go to a dead end.

In other words...... Wang Puzhao probably went out voluntarily, so that Tang Yan could give him a good time and end this sad, pathetic and pitiful life with no hope.

In doing so, he will free himself and become an unyielding hero who will win better treatment for his wife and daughter.

Thinking of this, Hou Hanmin trembled even more.

Because he was doubting one thing------ he could survive that confrontation, I am afraid that it was not by pretending to be dead that he deceived Tang Yan, but that the other party needed to leave a living mouth to tell the people of Kite City what happened, so as to deepen the hatred of the Kite City people towards Gem City and the Panda People Legion, and complete the transaction mentioned by Deputy Head Tang when the airship entered the airspace of Kite City earlier.

If Wang Puzhao saw through the treacherous tricks of the city lord, then Wang Puzhao's suicide had another purpose------ to save his Hou Hanmin's life with his own death.

Click, click, click......

Tears the size of soybeans wet the collar of the military uniform.

He never thought that there were so many hidden and profound secrets behind Wang Puzhao's death.

If there was no airship rumor, if he hadn't broken Fei Xiang and Jiang Heng's plot to go west, he might still be buried in the dark, immersed in his heroic dream, hating the Panda Man Legion and Tang Yan like every Yuancheng person.

"Why are you so stupid? Why don't you tell me? Why? Why! Why ......"

When asked about the fifth "why", Hou Hanmin didn't ask why, because the huge shame and shame pressed down from the sky like a lead cloud, enveloping his soul.

In the past, would he believe Wang Puzhao when he said those thoughts?

No, he won't, not only will he not believe it, but he will probably report this matter to his superiors, and let the ideological instructor give Wang Puzhao psychological counseling and pull his good brother back from the "evil road".

If that's the case, they still do a good job as comrades-in-arms? Good brother?

After the attack on the transport convoy, he was portrayed as a hero by Fei Xiang and was admired by all the people of Yuancheng.

In fact? What kind of hero is he?!

Wang Puzhao is the real hero...... At least for Cuiyun and Feifei, he is an irreplaceable husband for him, a true hero.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

The sound of an explosion in the distance woke him up, Hou Hanmin took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, turned his head to look at Cuiyun, and found that she was facing away from him, and her hand was gently wiped in front of her face, as if she was wiping tears from her face.

The little girl holding her mother's other hand was very pure and innocent: "Mom, Hou Susu, why are you all crying?" ”

Wang Puzhao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, folded the letter and put it in his arms: "Hou Susu remembered your father." ”

Hearing the word "Dad", the girl's eyes quickly turned red: "Fei Fei misses her father too." ”

Hou Hanmin hurriedly glanced at Cuiyun and asked her to get into the car quickly, while saying, "Hou Susu will take you to find your father, okay?" ”

"Okay, okay......" the little girl burst into tears and laughed. Her mood is like the weather in Jiangnan, which changes when she says it.

……

Honk...... Toot Toot Sudden ......

The locomotive went away with a low roar, and the wind from the horizon blew the hair and clothes of a family of three, floating in the air.

"Mom, didn't you say that Dad went far, far away?"

Cuiyun: "......"

Hou Hanmin: "Hou Susu will take you to a far, far away place, and never return to the place where the gun was shot, okay?" ”

"Okay." The little girl's response was crisp, like freshly peeled bamboo shoots.

Woo, woo, woo......

Moments later, the side tuks disappeared into the northern neighborhood with a low whine and flying dust.

………………

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
