Chapter 114 Encounters and Partings in Life
After Zhang Si packed his bags, he found that it was relatively late. Because of the disaster, those who survived usually go to bed early at night, and at this time, they may still be nestled on the couch watching TV or playing computer games in front of the computer, and they will hardly have the idea of sleeping before twelve o'clock. Nowadays, everyone's work and rest time has changed with the change of environment, although Jiafu supermarket also has electric lighting at night, but it seems to be the same as a few decades ago, when most people still lit kerosene lamps in their homes, and there is basically nothing to do at night except sleeping.
Zhang Si looked at the time and prepared to go to find Chen Bin.
"I was just going to look for you, why did you come here," When he came to the door, Zhang Si saw Chen Bin walking towards him.
"I've just finished working here, are you free now?" Chen Bin asked after seeing Zhang Si.
"Well, what a coincidence, I've just finished being busy," Zhang Si smiled, and the two came to the other side of the second floor, which was the manager's office of Jiafu Supermarket, and the corpses inside had been cleaned before, and everything had been cleaned.
Since Renault's death, it has been empty, and it is rarely visited except for sentry guards, and it is only used to pile up some things that are not commonly used. The office is located near the northwest corner of the second floor, and the wall facing the street is inlaid with a large glass window with a very good view from the window.
Zhang Si chose such a place because he didn't want to alarm others.
"You forgot I don't smoke, thank you," Zhang Si handed over a cigarette, and Chen Bin waved his hand.
"Have you already decided to go?" Chen Bin asked, there was no light in the office, but fortunately, both of them were by the window, and the moonlight from the window poured in a layer of silver on the ground inside.
"Well, I've been here for a long time," the cigarette butt in his hand flickered on and out, and the moonlight fell on Zhang Si's face, making his eyes look a little deep.
"None of them know that you're leaving, and if they do, they all don't want you to go, just like me." Chen Bin said, "Alas, if you are forced to stay, it will be a little unsatisfactory." ”
"So I can only consult with you alone," the wind coming in from outside the window blew away the smoke that Zhang Si spit out. The wind at night was not as hot and dry as in the daytime, it was slightly cool, gently blowing the hair on Zhang Si's forehead, and Zhang Si's figure looked a little depressed in front of the window.
"I understand your feelings, if I stand in your position, I may not be able to be as firm as you," Chen Bin sighed, "I have learned a lot from you." ”
"Miss Ji and Cheng Zixuan will ask you, if I can find Manman, I will take her back here together." Zhang Si's eyes looked into the distance through the glass, with a little confusion and vicissitudes in his eyes.
"Okay, we'll wait for you here," Chen Bin nodded, "I really want to thank you for getting rid of Li Guoqiang and his gang for us, without you, the future of Jiafu is more worrying." ”
"Since Jiafu took us in, then these are what I should do," Zhang Si laughed, "Besides, helping you is also helping myself, not to mention that Miss Ji and Cheng Zixuan will stay here in the future, just because Li Guoqiang and their hands are stained with the blood of our comrades-in-arms, I must also get rid of them, and the blood debt will be paid with blood, but it's a pity that the two who ran away." ”
"The two who ran away are estimated to be more than lucky," Chen Bin was not very worried when he heard Zhang Si mention Huang Yongdong and Su Sanjia who ran away. He is a person who has experienced disasters and knows how difficult it is for a single individual to survive outside, and Huang Yongdong and Su Sanjia seem to him to be no different from the dead.
"Don't be careless," Zhang said, "these people are prisoners, and they all have human lives on their hands, so you can't look at them with the eyes of ordinary people." People like them are often the ones who are the easiest to survive in harsh environments when disasters erupt. I've dealt with them a lot, so I need to know more about their dangers than you do. ”
"Don't worry, Jiafu Supermarket is the hope for us to survive, and we have to stay here and wait for you and your sister-in-law to come back," Zhang Si's words reminded Chen Bin, who had relaxed his vigilance a little because of the fall of Li Guoqiang and his gang, but Chen Bin has grown a lot in these days, and he is no longer the hairy young man who just came to Songhu City to find a job.
"Speaking of which, do you remember the detention center I mentioned to you on the roof of the Lianhua Building," Zhang Si asked Chen Bin, and the cigarette butt was thrown out of the window by him, and a red dot flew out of the window on the second floor and landed on the ground, and the red light on the cigarette butt gradually dimmed.
"Remember, but I don't have a clue for a while, I will sort these things out in the next few days, including Lianhua Supermarket, to see how to maximize the use of the resources in these places," Chen Bin said: "I don't know how long this life will last, you say the country can survive, right?" ”
"Yes, your experience of the strength of the motherland is far less profound than mine," Zhang Si said firmly: "Ten years ago, I would not have dared to make such a decision, but today I can tell you with certainty that although the scale of this disaster and the severity of the damage are far greater than any in the past, the progress and development of the motherland over the years is obvious to all." In the history of thousands of years of civilization, the ancestors of China have experienced countless disasters, but they have continued to grow and grow in the midst of disasters, and the wisdom and efforts of our compatriots have surprised people all over the world. ”
"Then we must live well and witness the day when the motherland will come out of the disaster and stand on top of the world again," Chen Bin was encouraged by Zhang Si's words, and his mood was very Pengpai.
"At any time, don't give up," Zhang Si looked at Chen Bin, "this is my heart." ”
"This is the way this world is, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come to you," Zhang Si continued, "On the contrary, the more you are not afraid of something, the more something will avoid you." I've been working as a SWAT for so many years, and I can't count the number of times I've passed death on two hands, but I'm still alive because I've been sticking to my heart. ”
"I don't know what my heart is, maybe I haven't found it yet," Chen Bin thought about it and said with some regret, "I feel like I'm still more dependent on others sometimes." ”
"It has something to do with experience," Zhang Si comforted him, "You have to look at the problem comprehensively and objectively, take today's Jiafu supermarket as an example, you have done a good job." ”
"This is for you," Zhang Si took out something and handed it to Chen Bin, "This is the emblem of the Dragon and Tiger Commando of the Special Police Detachment of the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau." ”
Chen Bin looked through the moonlight, only to see that the navy blue team emblem was clearly printed with the words "Dragon and Tiger Commando" and "Nanjing Special Police", and above and below the text were a soaring dragon and a leaping tiger. Chen Bin held the team emblem in his hand and felt heavy in his palm.
"I'll give it to you and let it stay here in my place," Zhang said, "I hope you can keep it." ”
"Don't worry," Chen Bin nodded, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"Tomorrow morning," Zhang sighed, "every second you stay for will reduce your chances of finding Manman." ”
"Take care, we're waiting here for you and your sister-in-law to come back." Chen Bin patted Zhang Si's arm.
"Okay," Zhang Si said and took out another cigarette, lit it with a lighter and put it to his mouth, "It's not early, you go back and rest first, I'll leave after smoking this cigarette." ”
When Chen Bin walked out of the office, Zhang Xi extinguished the cigarette in his hand that he didn't smoke, he stood at the window and was stunned for a while, and the extinguished cigarette was broken in two in his hand and thrown out of the window.
After Zhang Si walked out of the room, he did not return to his residence. He came to Ji Wenwen's room and stood quietly for a while.
Ji Wenwen was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, when she thought that Zhang Si was going to leave here tomorrow, her heart was sad for a while, if it weren't for Feng Xueyun's life, and to find her missing parents, Ji Wenwen would really follow Zhang Si out of here desperately, even if she likes family portraits very much.
Ji Wenwen didn't know that Zhang Si was outside the door at the moment, and Zhang Si didn't know if she would fall asleep, the two people separated by a wall seemed to be separated by the whole world.
Zhang Si and Ji Wenwen are both recalling the days since the two met, Zhang Si has only one woman in his heart, that is his wife Manman, Ji Wenwen is more like a sister to Zhang Si. Zhang Si saved her, and there is an extra responsibility in his heart, in the apocalyptic world, everyone will unconsciously regard the relationship that has been established as more important.
Ji Wenwen is the same, but her feelings for Zhang Si are different from Zhang Si's feelings for her. For Ji Wenwen, in addition to saving her life, Zhang Si is also the man who brought light to her life. A girl in a desperate situation is always prone to falling in love with the prince who came to save her, and once this love takes root, it will thrive, and its roots and branches will spread throughout the girl's heart.
At the end of the memory, Ji Wenwen in the room sighed faintly in his heart, and he didn't know that his tears wet the pillow towel. Zhang Xi left quietly from outside her door, and went to see the sleeping Cheng Zixuan before returning to his room.
In the corner, there were the luggage he had sorted out before, and Zhang Xi picked them up, and some of them were carried on his back. He took a piece of paper out of his pocket, placed it on his bed, and walked out and quietly closed the door.
At dawn, Ji Wenwen woke up in a daze, because she had something in her heart, she fell asleep very late yesterday.
After Ji Wenwen finished washing up quickly, he came to the outside of Zhang Xi's room. She knocked on the door, wanting to see Zhang Si alone before everyone got up, otherwise when there were a lot of people, she would have something to say to Zhang Si.
She thought about it for a long time last night, and finally figured it out, and then she made up her mind to show her heart to Zhang Si before leaving. She was full of hope for whether the two would see each other in the future, but she didn't feel any hope. In order not to leave herself with regrets, she planned to finish everything she wanted to say to Zhang Si before he left.
There was no movement in the room, and after Ji Wenwen knocked a few more times, he gently pushed the door with some doubts. The door was pushed open, and seeing the empty room in front of her, Ji Wenwen seemed to understand, her heart seemed to be hollowed out all of a sudden, and the whole person stayed there.
The quilt on the bed was neatly folded and placed in the middle of the bedside like a piece of tofu, with a piece of paper on it.
Ji Wenwen walked over and took the piece of paper in her hand, she looked at the words on it, and tears had blurred her eyes unconsciously.
"There are countless partings and encounters in life."
