Chapter 5: The Return of the Son (7)

The car crossed the Duliang Bridge, which is the boundary of the river.

Wu Wu felt a little relieved in his heart, and after several days of turbulence, he was finally coming. However, how can there be a level in front of you?

"Is it Major He's car from the military department?" The driver pulled the car to a stop, and a uniformed officer approached the car.

"Who are you?" Wu Wu rolled down the window and paid attention. Although it is on its own territory in the south, the task of this trip is special, and it is better to be cautious than in Jinyuan. Look at the officer's uniform, the grade is not low, and he personally set up a sentry, what is the situation? Looking at the situation, he still made a special trip to Major He.

"This is a lowly certificate, the headquarters sent a telegram a few days ago, asking Major He to look at it." The officer respectfully handed over the documents and telegrams.

Wu Wu looked suspicious, took the document and went to see that it was indeed a local garrison in Linjiang. Then, the telegram was handed to He Wet in the back seat.

"Go to the Bamboo Garden." He Shiyi frowned after reading the telegram and instructed the driver.

"Yes." The driver, Lao Chen, took the order and turned around.

Wu Wu was surprised again, didn't he say that he was going to Linjiang County? Why did you go to Zhuyuan, a local town under the river? Linjiang Bamboo Garden, Wu Wu had heard about it early in the morning. I used to hear a colleague mention it in the military department; The ancestral home of the commander-in-chief was there. But why did the command temporarily change the order?

It was very quiet in the car, He Shiyi pursed his lips tightly, and looked out of the car window with cold eyes, as if he was thinking about something, but it didn't seem to be. Wu Wu knew that his expression like this must not be disturbed, and although he was full of doubts in his heart, he still resisted the idea of asking He Shiyi.

Since it was the road to the rural town, Wu Wu thought that the road must be even more bumpy. However, after driving a dirt road, they got on the excellent parking road, and the car drove smoothly all the way on the road. The rumors from the military department are true, and Commander Luo is indeed extremely filial to Mrs. Luo. Since the death of the old commander, Mrs. Luo has lived in Zhuyuan to spend her old age in seclusion, and Commander Luo has come to visit from time to time. This road, presumably, is also for the convenience of the commander's car.

It was almost midnight when the car entered the bamboo garden. What is the meaning of wet clothes, do not alarm the people in the place. Instructed Wu Wu to find an inn in the town to live in temporarily, and then talk about it tomorrow.

Wu Wu has a problem with choosing a bed, and he still remembers that when he first joined the army, it was enough to be full. Now there are not many wars, but the problems are increasing. Lying on the bed in the inn, I couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning. Suddenly, there was a "creaking" sound of opening the door next door, although it was very soft, Wu Wu heard it in the end.

Next door lives Major Ho. Wu Wu jumped up from the bed, leaned on the window, and stabbed the window paper to look out. When the moon is in the sky, the things outside the window are clear at a glance. He Shiyi moved extremely fast, Wu Wu just had time to see the corner of He Shiyi's clothes and disappeared into the corner of the staircase.

With a thought in his mind, Wu Wu hurriedly got dressed and went out with him.

Rural place, quiet on the street. He wet clothes are not in a hurry, but it seems that he came out for a walk, but on such a cold day, will anyone take a walk with a big moon!

Wu Wu followed cautiously, which was a sudden move of curiosity. Suddenly thinking of the inexplicable order he received during the day, his heart was shocked, Major He is not going to perform any special task!

Wu Wu has followed He Shiyi for several years, although it is called the relationship between superiors and subordinates. But Wu Wu knew that He Shiyi had never regarded himself as an outsider, and he was honest and cared for in military and political affairs. I remember that when I followed He Shiyi just now, I was young and ignorant, acting arbitrarily, and I thought I was a little clever and didn't take He Shiyi in my eyes. During a mission, if He Shiyi hadn't come to the rescue, he would have almost lost his life. Since then, Wu Wu has followed He Shiyi's side with an iron heart, saddle before and after the horse.

In the morning, He Shiyi looked different after reading the telegram, and then went out alone. But I don't know if the commander has arranged some dangerous mission. Could it be that Major He was not ready to let him participate.

Although this bamboo garden is just an ordinary town, it is not as lively and prosperous as Jinyuan. However, the small bridges and flowing water, the red tiles and white walls, the quiet street market at night, and the lonely lights, also have a different kind of static beauty. He Shiyi got on the stone arch bridge built across the shore and stopped after walking a few steps. On the opposite side of the bridge, the buildings along the shore are flaming red lanterns, which are particularly eye-catching in this slightly cold night town. The light and shadow of the lanterns are reflected in the dark river, and the lake is orange. He Shiyi stood on the bridge, staring at the pavilion on the other side of the river motionless, as if a sculpture, the night wind blew the placket of his clothes, and his back was falling.

Wu Wu looked at the other side.

The night was so deep, but the moon was full, and the town was like a sleeping baby. However, the pavilion opposite was still dimly lit, singing was wafting, and occasional guests came and went. Come to think of it, what kind of place it is, it's already tacit. Wu Wu couldn't help laughing, Major He was also a well-known true gentleman in the military department. How did you get to the small place below, but it was like this. I've been with him for so long, and I really haven't seen it.

"Come out!" He Shiyi's voice was not loud, and he didn't hear the annoyed voice.

"Hey, hey." Wu Wu knew that he had been discovered, and hurriedly ran out with a smile.

"You kid, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, but you pay attention to me. Let's drink and go. He Shiyi smiled at Wu Wu, suddenly patted Wu Wu on the shoulder, and returned to the wine shop on this side of the bridge.

It was already very late, and the owner of the wine shop was sleepy-eyed and drank for the two, and couldn't help muttering a few words of dissatisfaction. The two didn't care, and after buying the wine, they returned to the bridge. One person was on the railing of a bridge and drank wine one by one.

"Wu Wu, how old is this year?" He Shiyi's pot of wine had bottomed out, and he picked up another pot.

"Eighteen." Wu Wu said. He joined the army at the age of fourteen. At that time, the family was poor and there were many brothers, so they could only eat if they joined the army. He has been following He Shiyi for more than two years, and he doesn't seem to have talked to He Shiyi about this kind of gossip.

"Eighteen, I'm just joining the army at my age." He Shiyi looked up at the moon in the sky, and there was some sigh in his tone.

"Ahh The major joined the army very late. Wu Wu suddenly admired He Shiyi again. After all, it is difficult for He Wetyi to sit in the position of He Shiyi for another ten years.

"Well, my mother doesn't like me to be a soldier." He Shiyi seemed to remember something, and the gloomy expression on his face flashed.

"The family doesn't want their children to come out to be soldiers, if they don't really can't ......" Wu Wu still remembers the day he went out, A-Niang hid on the kang and cried for a night the day before yesterday.

"You don't understand." He Shiyi said such an inexplicable sentence, and then stopped saying it. Holding on to the cold and hard railing, he seemed to inadvertently glance at the brightly lit pavilion opposite.

Although the "......" is not very far away, the lights of the pavilion opposite are too bright, and Wu Wu squinted his eyes for a long time and did not recognize the words on the plaque on the building.

"Lanfeng Tower." He wet clothes opened coldly. That tone seemed to be mixed with disgust, but the tone in which the words were pronounced were so familiar.

Wu Wu was slightly stunned for a moment, feeling that He Shiyi at this moment was very abnormal, but he couldn't say exactly what had changed, so he could only say a word; "The Major's eyesight is so good.".

He Shiyi ignored him, got off the bridge, and went straight in the direction he came.
