004 History, the Long River
It is this dark night that envelops the hearts of every nocturnal walker, forcing them to succumb to the repression and fear that comes from the depths of their hearts......
Chu Jie sat on the sofa in the villa, he sat motionless with his eyes open like a dead man, just like that.
"Ahh He suddenly let out a heart-rending howl, desperately tore the lining on his body, and knelt on the ground crying with his head in mind.
Due to long-term use of heroin and other drugs, his body is extremely thin, with sunken eye frames and bulging cheeks and cheekbones on both sides. His face is extremely pale, his thick eyebrows and big eyes have become squinted due to his long-term inability to sleep, and his hair is thin and silver. If it weren't for these bad habits, I believe he would be a handsome guy, right?
It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's just that he doesn't. At that time, those years were already firmly imprinted in his subconscious, and as soon as he fell into a dream, he would dream of some familiar scenes, with two strange people. The familiar scene is a nightmare, right? Patience is over, but if the dream is of two strangers and strange scenes, there will really be in reality, and he can't bear these two strange faces repeatedly appearing in his mind. The only way is to kill them.
Chu Jie had a splitting headache at this time, trembling all over, his back and chest were covered with marks, which were knife marks and bullet marks that only men have. What exactly did this man who fought in a real war go through.
He suddenly fell to the ground and fell asleep, too long, too long, without sleep, probably his body had stretched to the limit, and then. Again those horrible memory fragments.
My name is Chu Jie. I used to have a happy family when I was born in a special period in country Z, my father was tall and burly, handsome and dashing, good-natured, helpful, and very good at both farm work and playing musical instruments. My mother was gentle and beautiful, and his food was the most delicious in the world, and I was the only child in the family. Our family of three is half farming and half business in the village, living a very nourishing life, the family has a small shop, food and clothing are worry-free, I am in a gentleman's house in the village to study in a private school, life is calm and beautiful.
But one day, all of this changed dramatically and shattered my family completely. They were wearing military uniforms and red armbands on their hands and suddenly rushed into my store, I was doing my homework, I didn't understand what was going on with them, and there was a deep anger on their faces. Dad came out to talk to them, and then they started smashing things in the store without saying a word, and I was crying silently in tears. One after another, it fell and slammed, and the signboard in front of the store was smashed and broken by the iron pickaxe. Mom and Dad were tied to chairs by them, with hats made of folded newspapers on their heads, and the three big characters "capitalist roaders" were written on them with a brush. I was arrested and interrogated, and they said something I didn't understand, a bourgeois-righteous cancer, and the private school was converted into their conference hall, and for weeks on end, I saw my parents being surrounded by a crowd of people, scolding and beating. I was so sad that I hadn't seen them for a while, and I heard an uncle say that he had gone to the countryside to renovate. At that time, there was a war, so I filled the army in a daze and took the train to the front line.
I went to a strange place, where I met my comrades in the unit, and in addition to training every day, I sometimes went to the jungle to practice or something. The natives there were very strange, speaking a language we did not understand, and many times enemy planes flew over our heads, dropping a few bombs from time to time, and once they exploded a few dozen meters away from me, and I was deaf all day.
After a long time, it was quite boring, so we would go for a walk around town. The men who walked back and forth there were all wearing coarse white coats and fat legs and big trousers. The women were all homespun skirts and cedars, wearing bamboo tapered straw hats on their heads, and carrying Louzi on their backs. Tricycles and wooden wheelbarrows come and go on the streets.
Once, I went to the town with a few comrades to buy something.
"I said Chu sullen, you can't say a few words all day long, it's disgusting to pretend to be Sven." Brother Zhou helped his head, and the white scarf glanced at me.
"Brother Zhou...... We've been fighting here for so long, and we don't seem to have actually gone to war once? I really want to go home and find my mom and dad after the fight. I said shyly with my head down.
"This kid is so well-behaved? When the soldier hasn't been weaned for so long and still has to find his mother, he must be a child, take him to open his eyes today, do you miss it? I don't know who said this, but the people around me immediately started to heckle me and started teasing me.
"Wait, guys, stop playing! Look over there! Brother Zhou pointed at it, and everyone's eyes looked at it, and they saw a large group of M** people with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing military uniforms and big hats, patrolling the street with guns.
"It's the enemy! Beware of concealment! As soon as the squad leader gave the order, we quickly found cover and hid, some hiding behind big rocks, some hiding in the grass, and dozens of pairs of eyes observed this large group of people.
"It's only a few kilometers away from our military camp, and the devils of country M have already arrived here, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Wang quietly went back to report the news."
"Yes."
Walking in the front seems to be an officer from country M or something, he strides and scans the passers-by on the street, dozens of girls wearing village uniforms, walking by head-on, they may be used to seeing people from country M, right? Walking through the veterans of country M in that area was like seeing a neighbor.
“good。” The officer grabbed a little girl who was passing by, and with a squinting expression on his face, he began to tear the little girl's clothes, completely ignoring her weeping and struggling, and the people in the bazaar did not seem to see this, and were still busy with their lives, perhaps they were used to it, as long as it did not hurt them.
Chu Jie really couldn't stand it anymore, his hand holding the gun was clenched tightly, and the sense of justice in his heart surged to his whole body like a flood, and he raised the 38 rifle.
"Boom~sizzle." In the next second, a bloody hole appeared in the officer's skull, and flowers bloomed.
Gunshots rang out, the crowd began to flee, and the scene was chaotic. Having exposed their target, they were surrounded by a large group of M troops, and many civilians were killed by bullets and lay in pools of blood in the rain of bullets. Several comrades-in-arms also lost their lives because of his impulsiveness.
I fell into a deep sense of self-remorse, and for the first time I experienced the cruelty of war.
"Dead boy, still stunned and still not running!" Brother Zhou kicked me on the head, and the pain made me sober up a little.
"Horse-, little bunny!" Brother Zhou resisted me and ran desperately, dozens of seconds were as long as a day for us, and I also felt a bullet grazing my ear.
I don't know how long I ran, but he kicked open the wooden door of a house, hid inside, and threw me to the ground, then panted and sat on the ground against the door, with a pool of blood under his feet, and blood gushing from his right thigh, and his eyes were full of horror.
"Brother Zhou...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry!! I crawled up to him with tears in my eyes, crying. I hope he'll punch me a few times, or shoot me, and I'll be better.
And he looked at me with tenderness in his eyes. He said, "Don't be sad. I was ready to shoot at the time, I don't blame you. His voice was very weak, and he took out a cigarette from the scarf above his head, lit it with a match, and smoked it himself, and he took a sharp breath, and the cigarette was half burned, and he coughed twice, and handed me the cigarette and said, "I joined the army early, and I have no children and no daughters, and you are like my own son." Promise me that I will go back to your parents alive, and decades after the end of the war, the life of our people in country Z will be better. ”
I trembled and took the blue smoke and inhaled it like him, choking on tears.
He staggered to his feet, smiled with satisfaction as he looked at me smoking, opened the door of the house and uncovered the grenade at his waist, looked at death as if he were at home, his pupils reflected the group of pursuers, and shouted: "Long live Maozhu Xi!" ”
There was a loud bang, and I was buried in the rubble, gradually losing consciousness.
When I woke up again, crawled out of the light. What I saw was a tragic scene that had just ended, the houses that had been blown down by the artillery of the M Army planes not far away, the burning cowsheds, the dead bodies that were still breathing, and the old people sitting in the courtyard where the houses had collapsed. The old man's clothes were tattered, his hair was pale, his eyes were already desolate, and his teeth were fighting up and down. Overhead, the sound of the roaring propellers of the M Army helicopter was heard. There was another bang in the distance, and a young arm flew to the ground in front of me with the smell of burnt, still wriggling, shaking and clenching. Is that the arm of a little boy? Little girl's?
"Ahh Chu Jie woke up from his dream, large beads of sweat appeared on the top of his head, he hurriedly picked up the needle from the table, skillfully injected the tendons, and then calmed down, and then stared at the palm of his left hand, letting out a creepy crazy laugh.
"Strange, can't sleep? It's three o'clock. Xiao Li tossed and turned on the bed, he wanted to light a cigarette, but he felt that the cigarette case was empty, so he wanted to go to the 24-hour convenience store far away to buy a pack, thinking about it, he got dressed and hurried downstairs.
The second bridge in X county is already four o'clock, and there are no pedestrians on the road. But on the bridge of the second bridge, there was a man leaning on the guardrail of the bridge, and he was bare-chested, as if he had been waiting for a long time. The dim street lamp shone brightly in the inky night, shining on his scars and uncertain face, a few small floaters hovered above his sparse and pale head, and gently, he took out a cigarette he rolled out of his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath, and then bounced into the sky. The fiery cigarette butt made a graceful arc in the dark night and fell to the ground, rising with a wisp of blue smoke. Because his target, Xiao Li appeared.
A steel saber reflected a faint light under the street lamp, and the next second it stabbed into Xiao Li's lower abdomen, which was passing by. The white knife went in, the red knife came out, and poor Xiao Li curled up on the ground trembling.
"For ...... Why kill me......"
"Because I dreamed of your ugly face, hahahaha." Chu Jie gently stretched out his black-purple tongue and licked the blood on the knife.
"Yes...... Excuse me...... My wife will return to China the day after tomorrow...... I want to die at home...... All right? ”
"Good! ~" After speaking, he stabbed him several times in the lower abdomen.
