March 5 Maldives early morning

The 'Levi' bar is always brightly lit and is open 24 hours a day from morning to evening, so the light bulbs are often replaced without loading, unlike other bars. Levier's structure is unique to the local style, the roof of the bar is made of fluffy grass, the bars are supported by wooden planks and reinforced concrete columns, in order to blend in with the color of the floor, the pillars are uniformly painted in tan, the bar is facing the sea on three sides, there are no walls, all you can see is the table, this special building places the whole bar on the sea, the blue sky and the sea are also endless, and people can always forget a lot of things.

The old man may not call him that, his face looks old, the person who has been active on the battlefield all the year round, his eyes are always compromised, he will forget the honor and disgrace of the country, he will not care about life and death, all he can do is to deceive his own heart, find a compromise from it, after the end of the war in Afghanistan, he will live in seclusion here, he doesn't want to care about things outside the world anymore, his hair has not been combed for a long time, it has gone from the inch head when he served to the current messy long hair, His sloppy clothes have not been washed for many days, and he only came to the bar with his iron kettle all day long, although there are wine glasses to offer, but he is more willing to pour the wine into his military iron kettle, which can make him not forget those iron medals tied to his chest, the blindfold of his left eye is the most impressive thing for him, he lost his left eye in the war, although the military later offered to install a prosthetic eye for him, but he refused, on the grounds that he wanted to remember the pain and did not want to forget the people who had been by his side.

The woman in the leotard walked straight through the bar, and the old man was drunk and sleeping on the bar, and his snoring was never hidden.

"Give me a glass of bourbon, a glass of cold boiled water" The woman took out the lollipop in her jacket pocket, jumped on the table with one foot and sat down, lifted Erlang's legs, lifted the hair covering the old man's face with her right hand, and pressed the old man's face, but the old man did not respond.

"Miss, this is the cold white boil and a glass of bourbon you want." The bartender came to the woman with two wine glasses.

The woman took the two cups handed by the bartender and drank the bourbon, "Wow, yes, yes, sit in Dr. Marl and drink bourbon, do you enjoy it so much, no wonder this person hides here and really wants to curse." ”

The woman threw water from another cup at the old man.

The man jumped up instantly, and after years of fighting, he was able to react quickly in an instant, and after the man with a frightened face, after putting on a fighting posture, all the guests focused on the old man at this time, only the man looked around with a confused face.

"I've checked the looks, I'm not looking for the wrong person." Woman puts lollipop in her mouth.

"You're Shan... Shan? The old man lowered his fist on his chest.

"I can still recognize it, the place where I drink is good, even I don't want to go back, I am busy working every day, the salary is low, and it is accompanied by life-threatening conditions from time to time, so it is better to come to the Maldives as soon as possible." Sansa browled her cheeks and spoke to the sea.

"Miss, if you really want to wash your hands and not dry them, I can still find you the location of the floor." The man smiled and said, returning to his chair, "In the middle of the night, disturbing dreams, I said when will your stinky problem be corrected, look at what time it is on the watch." ”

The old man's complaint was a joke to Sanshan.

"Little sheep, you've been hiding here for so many years, what have you learned from hiding here?" Shanshan's Erlang had his legs cocked high, and his body was half-lying on the bar.

"Please call me Chopin, don't make fun of me, Miss, I don't want to be associated with the country's honor and disgrace and justice anymore." Chopin unscrewed the lid of his military jug and sniffed it.

"It took me a lot of effort to find you hiding here, I just can't come here for nothing, you know." Sansa smiled eerily.

Chopin: "I've always been very clear about the character of the eldest lady, but I have nothing to do with everything outside, and I won't leave." ”

Sanshan: "I'll show you something, maybe interested." ”

Sansa handed over an archival book.

"I'm not interested in whether the military is planning some secret war again." Chopin placed the archival book on the table.

"Well, I know it doesn't mean you, but I'm here with a determination that I'm sure I'll be able to help you." Sansa turned and jumped off the bar.

"What kind of faith can make you feel like you can impress an indifferent bastard who waits for death?" Chopin laughed sarcastically.

"Even if it's about Elena." Sansa pulls out a card and places it on the file.

Chopin's smile faded away.

"What do you mean?"

Shanshan: "I knew you would be interested, put away your perverted smile, I don't like it, go back and think about it, if you decide to open the file in front of you you you will have no turning back, my address is on the card, I will wait for you for three days." ”

"One more thing, Chopin, you are a hero."

Sansa left the bar.

Chopin sat in a chair and propped his face with his palms.

He knew that Shanshan's words were never a joke, and if his hand opened the file, everything would probably change.

His hesitant hand began to reach for the archive, and he slowly opened it, browsing page by page, the wrinkles on his brow like smooth pebbles beginning to crack.

Chopin was extremely helpless, and stood there smoking a cigarette. "It's so ruthless, Shanshan, it looks like my peaceful life is coming to an end."

At this time, the first rays of the morning sun have appeared on the horizon.
