It's like some kind of announcement, like an ancient military general who appeared in front of the opponent's city gate with a single sword and a horse. What is needed is not only strength, but also the self-confidence brought by this strength.

Perhaps we are not a climate in the eyes of Yun Li, nor are we a threat. But it wasn't so easy to kill us, so we walked down the road overnight towards the nearby village.

When we entered the town, we found the local little boss, and it took a dozen yuan to get the county cadres to make a phone call and ask Zhong Yong to drive to pick us up, and when he came, we were sitting on the stone steps in front of the office door, and the light bulbs above our heads were on, casting a faint light.

I smoked a cigarette, and the light after the cigarette burned was very beautiful, and the green smoke floated into the sky, curling up, but it always made people feel very comfortable.

"Fatty, what if we can't escape this time?"

I said suddenly.

The fat man and Luo Qiong were both stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said to me: "Don't fucking think too much, you can't die, it's socialism now, when the glorious people are the masters of the country, where the hell will be killed so easily." ”

I shook my head and said, "No kidding, seriously. ”

"Are you scared?"

The fat man's face sank and he asked.

I nodded, spat out the green smoke in my mouth, and whispered, "It's not that I'm afraid that I'm going to die, but I'm afraid that if we all die, who will take care of our family." I used to think that if I died, at least you and Luo Qiong were still alive, there were trustworthy brothers still around, and someone else could take care of my dad for me. But what we committed this time, if all three of them die, who will send your father, your uncle, your old man, and my father to the end? To be honest, I can imagine my funeral, lying in a cold coffin with flowers sprinkled all over my body, and I was stupid. ”

"And what do you mean?"

The fat man scratched his head and asked puzzled.

"After doing this ticket to avoid this catastrophe, get the money of the monkey, you can basically pay off your uncle's account, and when the time comes, you can still empty hundreds of thousands, you and Luo Qiong will retire." Help Luo Qiong get a suite in Shanghai, and then find some connections to let his hukou fall in Shanghai. From now on, you will live honestly and never wade into this troubled water again. ”

I snuffed out the cigarette butt in my hand and put it on the ground. There was still a faint smell of cigarettes on my fingers, and the fat man suddenly grabbed my arm and yelled, "What are you talking about, am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

"Me neither!"

Luo Qiong shouted after him.

"It's not that you're afraid of death." I shook my head lightly and sighed before saying, "It's just that I've been thinking about who will send our elders to death if we all die." After all, we are Chinese, not foreigners. Filial piety is greater than the sky......"

I pushed the fat man's hand away and pulled another cigarette out of the cigarette case.

When people grow up, they think about more things. Mixing in society has long been not as simple as in school, when I was a child, the fat man and I fought with the tall man in the senior class, and I never coaxed it, because if I go to the hospital for two stitches at most, I can't die, and I won't hurt my family. But I can't say what is going on on the road, today is the order of the Seven Absolute Orders, and the next time I meet the enemy, what should I do if I move my family? My dad, old man, Huizhi, if they are really caught, can I break the deadlock like I did today?

The older you get, the more you think.

Looking up, I saw the vast and misty sky, the clouds that could only see the outline of the clouds slowly swimming in the sky. In the distance, the lights flickered, driving through the trees towards us. At about four o'clock in the morning, Zhong Yong's small pickup appeared in front of us.

The car stopped in front of us, Zhong Yong rolled down the window and shouted at us, "Get in the car!" ”

I carried my bag, pushed the drowsy fat man, and got into the small pickup truck.

"I discussed with Mr. Situ to let you live in the barracks first, but under the pretext of treating you, but the cycle is enough for you to avoid this catastrophe. Mr. Situ will go to say hello on the leader's side, there are a lot of forbidden areas in our barracks, so don't run around, just stay. ”

The small pickup truck turned around and drove in the direction of the city. I sat down in the back seat and said, "Heal?" Are you all ready? ”

"Well, the leader said that everything is ready, but I still have to ask you solemnly, are you willing to receive treatment? After all, there is a very small chance that it will hasten your death instead, and the leader says that he will do his best to control this situation from happening, but you better be mentally prepared. Therefore, the leader asked me to confirm with you again whether I agree to receive treatment. ”

After Zhong Yong finished speaking, the whole car immediately fell silent, I closed my eyes, and after a while, I said, "Anyway, there is no other way, if you die, you will die." ”

However, this was the last thing we said along the way, and the fat man and Luo Qiong fell asleep leaning against the car window. And I looked at the dark earth outside, driving from the fields into the city, from the black horizon that could not be seen to the tall buildings that I needed to look up, but I was not sleepy in the small pickup truck.

House 507 is a great place to hide, and it's one of our best backups. There are PLA soldiers standing guard in front of the door, and no matter how bold Mr. Tang's people are, they should not dare to enter the 507 Institute to chase and kill us.

So when Zhong Yong's small pickup truck drove into the barracks, it meant that we could live.

"You slept in that room, and you used all the daily necessities of the army. It's better to rest early, they're going to in a while, and it's going to be very noisy then. I slept in the room opposite, at the end of the hallway when the water was turned on. ”

Zhong Yong yawned and walked to the other side.

I put the bag on the shelf, and the fat man and Luo Qiong jumped on the bed after taking off their shoes, and fell asleep after holding the quilt for a while. I washed my face, maybe my throat was a little dry because I smoked too much, and I lifted the thermos and there was no water. He walked out with a hot water bottle, and the corridor was dark, and a large bucket could be faintly seen at the end of the corridor.

When I walked over, I was turning on the water when someone suddenly spoke.

"You are the one Zhong Yong brought back."

Maybe I was too tired, or maybe I was so engrossed in something else that I didn't notice that there was anyone around me for a while, and I was startled when I heard the voice. I suddenly turned around and saw a man in a military uniform standing beside me, the military uniform looked a little big, not very fit, he looked about the same age as me, flat headed, not too thin, but very strong.

My hands shook, some hot water spilled on my hands, I hurriedly turned off the faucet, put the back of my hand on my body and wiped it.

"If you can't do this, you'll get burned."

As he spoke, he leaned over and blew lightly on my hand, and only a white breath was seen falling in the darkness, and my reddened hand immediately felt cool and comfortable. A little surprised in his heart, he asked, "Thank you, you are a warrior here?" ”

"Oh, no, you think I'm a PLA soldier in a military uniform?"

He shook his head and said.

"Oh, who are you?"

"Like Brother Yong, I am a person in this barracks, but I am not a soldier. Belong to the 507 Institute, have you done a good job? I'm still waiting for some water. ”

He urged, and I nodded hurriedly, filled the thermos and plugged the lid on, and was about to walk back. He stopped me and said, "You're pretty famous in the 507 house now, but it's not always a good thing to be remembered. It is still necessary to have the ability to protect oneself. ”

He seemed to have something to say, but I didn't answer, and walked quickly back into the room. After putting down the thermos, I looked at the back of my hand, although the hot water in the bucket was not hot, but my skin must have been wrapped up in normal times, but now there is nothing to do, just because of his breath. There are really many masters in the 507 institute, and there are countless capable people.

At noon the next day, I woke up in a daze, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Situ standing outside the door drinking tea, and when he saw me, he said quietly: "The leader wants to see you, come with me." ”

After changing into a clean military uniform, I followed Situ to the back of the barracks, and along the way I was always thinking about what happened last night, so I asked curiously: "Brother Situ, I met someone last night, he said that he was a 507 person like Zhong Yong, and he blew on my hand, which was cold. Do you know each other? ”

Unexpectedly, Situ was startled, glanced back at me and said: "You are talking about Xiaoice, it's best not to have a relationship with him, it's not a joke to freeze you into a popsicle one day." ”
