Chapter 48: Never Forget
Lin Lu had been using his mobile phone to contact Xiao Nannan, and Jiang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, looked at her silently.
He leaned over and said to Lin Lu, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette." ”
Lin Lu nodded, and the people around him left.
After a few seconds, maybe it was Jiang Sheng's words, which aroused the smoking addiction of the husband opposite, and he also got up and walked towards the junction of the carriage.
As soon as the carriage door closed, Jiang Sheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, and the door behind him opened again.
As soon as he turned around, he handed the cigarette in his hand to the other party, "Come on, man." ”
"I have." The man smiled innocently and wanted to touch his pocket.
"Come on, smoke me." Jiang Sheng stopped his hand, and the man was gracious and took the cigarette.
Jiang Sheng turned off the lighter and lit it for him, and the man said thank you.
The two stood facing each other, with their backs to the carriage.
The man said, "How long have you been together?" ”
Jiang Sheng paused for two seconds, and it was not a month to be full.
"It didn't take long."
"It's a good time."
Jiang Sheng took a puff of cigarette, and the man said again, "You like her very much." ”
Jiang Sheng was stunned, "Can you see it?" ”
The man smiled, "Your eyes never left her." ”
Jiang Sheng lowered his head and laughed silently.
"You're beautiful, you have an eye."
Jiang Sheng said, "It's okay. ”
"It's not easy to chase her."
Jiang Sheng remembered the scene when the two of them first met, "It's okay." ”
The man looked at him, "It's not easy to meet someone you like, cherish it." ”
Jiang Sheng nodded, the man talked about something else, asked Jiang Sheng what he was doing, planned to play in Jianshui for a few days, and introduced him to some unique places around.
The two of them went back after smoking.
The car needs to change to another train in Yuxi and arrive at the destination Jianshui County at half past ten.
When leaving the railway station, Jiang Sheng and Lin Lu said goodbye to the old couple.
According to the instructions on the map, the two arrived at Lin'an Town by car, and Feng Chengshan's family lived near Dabanjing in Ximen.
Walking in the old alleys of Jianshui Ancient City, you will see rich and simple buildings from time to time, as well as tea houses with signs of 'supplying Ximen boiling water' or 'copper kettle boiling Ximen water', if you have time, Lin Lu will stay here for a while.
According to the address, Feng Chengshan's house was in the alley in front of her, and Jiang Sheng saw that she was in a hurry and persuaded:
"It's here, go slowly."
"It's okay,"
Lin Lu's leg injury had not fully healed, and Jiang Sheng was worried about her.
Walking into the alley, Lin Lu stood still, turned back to Jiang Sheng and said, "You are waiting for me here." ”
Jiang Sheng thought that there were some things that Lin Lu didn't want him to know, so he should follow:
"Okay."
Lin Lu was just about to leave, Jiang Sheng said again: "You call me if you have something." ”
Lin Lu looked at him, smiled, and continued walking.
After inquiring about several households, I learned that the person I was looking for lived at No. 27.
When Lin Lu found No. 27, she looked at the door and hidden, she patted it at the door and asked:
"Anyone?"
“……”
No one answered in the room.
Lin Lu pushed the door open and stood inside. "Excuse me, is there anyone in the house?"
"Yes, here it is."
The person who answered the door had a strong local accent, and when the people came out of the house and saw Lin Lu, their eyes were suspicious, "Who are you looking for?" ”
The man was in his mid-forties and wore a blue coarse undershirt with a pair of linen-colored shorts underneath.
Lin Lu said: "Hello, are you Feng Chengshan?" ”
The man nodded in response, "Yes, ...... are you?" ”
Lin Lu was down-to-earth, "My name is Lin Lu, and I'm from Jincheng. ”
When Feng Chengshan heard that it was from Jincheng, he turned to ask in Mandarin: "You are from Jincheng." ”
"Yes," she said, stepping forward, "I'm here to ask you about someone. ”
Feng Chengshan served as a soldier in Jincheng, and when he heard that he was a person over there, he naturally felt more cordial.
"Who do you want to inquire about?"
Lin Lu said: "Zhao Han." ”
"Major Zhao?"
Looks like you've found the right person.
"It's him," Lin Lu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "My family and him are old friends, because they went abroad to settle down in the early years, the two lost contact, she is not in good health recently, and she wants me to come to Jincheng to help her greet her, but I only know when I arrive in Jincheng that the army is gone." I asked a few people, and they told me your address, and said you might know, and I came. ”
Hearing this, Feng Chengshan asked, "Can you ask, what do you call your parents?" ”
Lin Lu hesitated, "...... Lin Jingwen. ”
"Are you ......?" Feng Chengshan began to look her up and down, and the light in his eyes suddenly brightened, "You are Sister Jingwen's daughter?" ”
Lin Lu was aware of his identity and smiled calmly, "Yes." ”
"It's really Jingwen's daughter," Feng Chengshan was overjoyed, "Come in and sit down." ”
Lin Lu was reluctant to resist his enthusiasm and was invited into the house by Feng Chengshan.
"Sit here," Feng Chengshan hurriedly sorted out the things on the sofa and made room for Lin Lu, "I'll pour you tea." ”
"No, Xie," before the words were finished, Feng Chengshan had already left.
Lin Lu sat in the quiet room and looked around.
The house has been painted not long ago, the decoration and furnishings are some years, the lights are not on, although it is daytime, relying on natural light to illuminate, but there is still a depressed sense of dullness in the house, the LCD TV on the wall can not see any brand, the TV cabinet glass below is gone, and there are medicine bottles and sundries piled inside.
Outside the window, a motorcycle was parked in the corner of the east courtyard, with a rope tied to the back seat, which looked like it was used to pull feet.
Combined with Feng Chengshan's dress, his life is not rich, but he is also free enough in this small county.
In fact, since entering southern Yunnan, the comfortable pace of life has made Lin Luxin lazy.
As soon as he turned his head, there was a photo frame hanging above the square table, and there were several old photos embedded in it, two of which were group photos of the troops, Lin Lu stood up and walked over to look up.
Although he was old and the photos were yellowed, Lin Lu still recognized him in the crowd at a glance.
Lin Lu tugged at the corners of his mouth, Ms. Lin, no wonder you can't forget it.
At that moment, there was the sound of footsteps behind him.
As soon as Feng Chengshan entered the house, he saw Lin Lu standing in front of the photo with his back hand.
He smiled and said, "In the first row, he is next to the chief." "Remembering that she didn't know who the chief was," the oldest man left hand side. ”
Lin Lu turned around, "What kind of person is he?" ”
Feng Chengshan put the teacup on the table, "Drink tea, boiled in the water of Dabanjing." ”
"Thank you," Lin Lu sat back in his seat and took a sip of the tea on the table.
Feng Chengshan sat opposite her, "Zhao Xiao is upright, stubborn, and hard-boned. ”
Lin Lu picked up these words, except for stubbornness, it seemed that she followed Lin Jingwen.
She's casual, cold, and not very interested in anything, and the only thing that makes her find pleasure is the design itself.
"He's also quite handsome," Feng Chengshan smiled, "Many of the literary female soldiers back then liked him." ”
"I can see it." Lin Lu didn't want to hear any love history, "Where is he now?" Did you know? ”
Feng Chengshan's stretched eyebrows frowned slightly, and he pinched the teacup in his hand and said, "I don't know." ”
Lin Lu frowned, and Feng Chengshan said: "Although I was a correspondent by his side back then, when he left, even I didn't know, and later someone from above sent someone to take away his housekeeping." We never saw him again. ”
Lin Lu felt that something was wrong, "Where did the person come from?" ”
Feng Chengshan shook his head, "I don't know, the military rank is higher than ours." ”
"You didn't ask the leader?"
"I asked, and they only said that they went on a mission."
"What task?"
"I didn't say it."
Lin Lu's hand holding the teacup slowly tightened, thoughtfully.
According to his military rank, he is also a leader in the army, and even if he has made meritorious service and received training after performing a mission, he has to return to his original unit to give an explanation.
"Didn't he mention it to you before he left?"
"Nope."
"What about the others?"
"Nobody knows, I asked."
It's strange, a big living person can still be lost for no reason.
"Did he leave anything behind?"
Lin Lu still didn't give up.
Feng Chengshan thought for a moment, "...... Yes. ”
Lin Lu said, "Can you let me take a look?" ”
"Okay."
Feng Chengshan got up and went out again, and Lin Lu drank the remaining half cup of tea.
The mobile phone beeped twice, and Lin Lu looked at it, it was a message from Jiang Sheng.
'Why hasn't it come out yet?' ’
Lin Luhui: You wait a minute
After putting away the mobile phone, Feng Chengshan went and returned, he put a small iron box on the table, and said to Lin Lu:
"This was given to me the day before Xiao Zhao left."
Lin Lu took the iron box, which was a bullet, strung with a black rope, and the number of the unit was engraved on the bullet casing, and an abbreviation 'Z&L' was engraved with a knife.
"Did he say anything when he gave it to you?"
Feng Chengshan said: "He asked me to help collect it first." ”
Lin Lu looked at the notch of 'L', not wanting to explore whether this was Ms. Lin's abbreviation or other meaning.
She fastened the box, "Uncle Feng, I have a presumptuous request. ”
