However, it was said that Wu Wu had come to Zhuyuan with He Shiyi for more than two months, and he only assisted the town mayor to do some trivial chores every day and met with some local officials, and did not have a very specific task, which surprised Wu Wu. At the beginning, it was the military headquarters that urged them to come and go to Linjiang in a hurry. Today, it is also the military department that idles them here. After all, he has been in the army for a few years, what is the deep meaning of this Although Wu Wu has not yet tasted it, he has begun to pay special attention to the recent words and deeds of his boss He Shiyi.

It's just that He Shiyi seems to be very suitable for this leisurely job. Wu Wu found that He Shiyi's whereabouts became more and more regular; Get up early to go to the office, and read the newspaper when you have something to do. Then he looked at the quiet river outside the office in a daze for a long time, and his usual silence and coldness still did not change. In the evening, go to the restaurant by the bridge to drink, and the thunder can't move.

Today coincides with the birthday of the mayor Mo Jiaxi, and a family banquet is held, and He Shiyi and Wu Wu are invited to go.

This Mayor Mo is very good to He Shiyi, and often asks Wu Wu about He Shiyi. Wu Wu heard that Mayor Mo had a young daughter who was at the age of marriage, so he must have had some plans. It's just that He Shiyi did not refuse Mayor Mo's overtures, but became more and more affectionate, which made Wu Wu very puzzled.

Because it was a family banquet, in addition to the Mo family's family, Mayor Mo only invited He Shiyi and Wu Wu. Seeing Mayor Mo's daughter Mo Qiqi for the first time, this Miss Mo gave Wu Wu a lot of fright.

In the deep mansion, the skylight seems to be inaccessible.

In the dim light, Mo Qiqiyi came in red, like a flamboyant red silk. threw himself into He Shiyi's arms, talking in his mouth, exhaling a ball of hot air; "Brother Wetsuit, you're finally back."

Wu Wu thought that if Miss Yan, who was far away in Jinyuan City, was an orchid standing quietly in front of the window, then Mo Qiqi in the morning light was more like a red and lively kapok.

"Qiqi has grown up." He wet-clothed petting Mo Qiqi's head, his movements were natural and intimate, and the corners of his mouth hung on a smile that had rarely been seen in recent months.

"Qiqi, don't let go of your eldest brother He, what does your daughter's family look like." Mo Jiaxi came from behind, although he blamed Mo Qiqi, he had a smile on his face.

Mo Qiqi heard Mo Jiaxi's words, and turned around to see Wu Wu who was stunned on the side. Seeing that there were outsiders present, he grimaced at his father and changed his hug to a pull.

"Father said that you came back a long time ago, why didn't you come to see Qiqi?" Mo Qiqi grabbed He Shiyi, because of his petite size, he seemed to be hanging on He Shiyi's body at a glance.

"Brother Wet Clothes is busy with military affairs...... Aren't you here today? He Shiyi and Mo Qiqi were talking while heading inside. Wu Wu had never seen him speak to a person so softly.

"Chief Wu, please." Wu Wu was still standing, and Mo Jiaxi was close to him and invited Wu Wu.

This family banquet was naturally enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and only Wu Wu was like a cloud. Fortunately, the whole spirit of the Mo family was on He Shiyi, and Wu Wu's abnormality was not noticed. The Mo family is a big family, and although the people sitting here are only relatives and friends of their own clan, they still set up several tables for banquets.

Wu Wu found that although the Mo family's father and daughter were extremely thoughtful and friendly to He Shiyi. However, some of the guests at the banquet looked at He Wet's clothes, which made Wu Wu very uncomfortable. Looking at He Shiyi again, he seemed to be completely unaware of these slightly disdainful and fearful eyes.

Are you really unaware? Still unwilling to bother? Based on Wu Wu's understanding of He Shiyi, Wu Wu concluded that it was the latter.

When the banquet was gone, out of Mofu, the cold moon had already risen.

In November, the late autumn nights have gradually begun to show the cold of early winter. On the lonely bluestone road along the river, Wu Wu followed behind He Shiyi. Wu Wu looked at the two faint shadows of himself and He Shiyi on the bluestone, one in front of the other and one behind him, and felt cowardice in his heart for no reason. What kind of person is He Wetsuit? He thinks that as He Shiyi's closest subordinate, he already knows him well, but what about He Shiyi in the past? He seemed to be completely ignorant.

When they were about to arrive at the inn arranged for them by the mayor, Wu Wu saw a cold woman standing under the street lamp, looking towards them. Wu Wu stood behind He Shiyi, and when He Shiyi saw the woman, his whole body was slightly shocked.

The woman looked to be some age, with a delicate face and neat sideburns. Dressed in a black slim-fitting cheongsam with a blue scarf, the lining has an excellent temperament. Wu Wu didn't expect to be able to see such a generous woman in such a rural town. couldn't help but be like He Wetsuit, his footsteps paused slightly.

He Shiyi approached the woman, and before the woman could speak, he opened his mouth first: "Aunt Zhuang." ”

The woman's face was hidden in the shadow of the lamp, and she could not be distinguished, but she stood straight. "Smack." The woman shot very quickly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, a slap had already hit He Shiyi's face.

Wu Wu reacted, and was just about to step forward, He Shiyi stretched out his hand to block it, and stood in front of the woman again. Under the orange halo, Wu Wu found that He Shiyi's back was stiff, like a stubborn and stubborn child on a strange road.

The inn was closed when the three of them entered, and the man had already placed most of the stools on the table. The hall was dark, and the stilted benches, with their feet facing up, were like wooden stakes in a mixed forest, messy and orderly.

Wu Wu instructed his men to prepare some wine and food, and then withdrew. A kerosene lamp, the light is dim, and the faint smell of kerosene is mixed with the greasy aroma of vegetables. The simple and dim tavern, the two people sitting opposite the table, have their own unique coldness.

Wu Wu slowly helped the shop guy clean up the table and stools, while paying attention to the actions of the two people in front of the table.

He Shiyi remained silent, and the woman in black did not speak.

After a long time, the woman picked up the wine jug on the table and poured wine for both of them: "I still remember that when you were young, you always liked to drink wine from the small kitchen, and after being found out by your aunt, you would inevitably be beaten. Wait until you're older enough to drink, and your aunt isn't around. Today, my aunt will accompany you to have a good drink and make up for the previous ones. The woman picked up the glass and looked at He Shiyi opposite.

"Okay." He Shiyi picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to toast the woman.

The oil lamp is orange, and the small wine glasses make a crisp and short sound when they collide. The two people at the small table are like old friends who have never seen each other.

He Shiyi held the wine glass, his head was lowered, and his back was indifferent: "Aunt Zhuang, go back!" I'm not going. ”。

"You child, she is your mother. Her words back then were all angry words, and you should be considerate of her. The woman's face softened, and she reached out to hold the hand that He Shiyi had placed on the table and clenched into a fist.

"I have made up my mind, Aunt Zhuang, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Be obsessed when you shouldn't be obsessed, you mother and son." The woman sighed slightly, and looked at He Shiyi lovingly; "I haven't seen it for so many years, and our wet clothes are getting stronger and stronger the longer they get. Tell your aunt what happened to you outside over the years. ”

"The wet clothes are good outside, and after joining the army, I stayed in Zhuotai for seven years, and then transferred to Jinyuan. This time, I was ordered to come back on errands. The woman no longer asked, He Shiyi looked calm, and the corners of his mouth smiled. Ten years away from home, to put it mildly, passed by.

"You don't have to coax your aunt, you must have suffered a lot." The woman's face was relieved, and her eyes were covered with moisture.

"It's not bitter, the commanders of the troops take good care of me." He Shiyi comforted the woman softly.

"Really? Wrong. You're lying to me again. There was a light in the woman's eyes, and for a moment, as if she thought of something, and then she denied it. Pretending to be annoyed, he looked at He Wetyi.

"How dare I lie to you? Aunt is a female Zhuge . He Shiyi chuckled.

"Female Zhuge is old, she just beat you, does it hurt?" The woman looked at He Shiyi's smiling face, her face full of pity.

"It doesn't hurt." He Shiyi's expression darkened.

Wu Wu helped the guys clean up the table and stools, and the two people sitting opposite each other were still chatting under the lamp. Wu Wu didn't dare to disturb, said hello and went straight upstairs. I couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in the room, paying attention to the movement next door, and I didn't see He wet clothes back to the room after waiting for a long time. In the second half of the night, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I quietly went downstairs to look. It's just that the lobby is dark and empty.

Wu Wu followed the bluestone road towards the bridge, and sure enough, he saw He Shiyi there.

The night is deep, and the Lanfeng Tower, which has always been dimly lit, has gradually become quiet. He Shiyi stood at the head of the bridge, his thin lips pursed, and his expression was solemn. In addition to the usual calm and cold in the past, there is a kind of domineering that cannot be faced. When Wu Wu thought of the commander-in-chief, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
