It was not so much that Yebei and Juntian were persuading Qin Zhen to return to their own lives, but that they themselves were going to return to their own lives. Major General and Grass Folk may be friends, but they are definitely not on the same life trajectory.

After this, Yudong and Yebei may continue to carry out various thrilling and mysterious action missions, but those will no longer have anything to do with Qin Zhen and Gu Jie.

So at least at this moment, Qin Zhen's heart is uncomfortable.

Looking at the back of Yebei gradually walking away, Qin Zhen suddenly felt a very special sad mood. He wasn't sure what the experience had brought him, but he was pretty sure it had changed his life completely.

Turning around and looking at the beautiful Bohai Bay, it was calm. The beauty of the sun shining on the sea is relieving, but it is also awe-inspiring.

Recalling that from the time the Yumen was closed, the patches of yellow sand desert and the towering snow-capped mountains were all floating and transformed at the end of the horizon like a mirage. How many ups and downs, how many angers, sorrows, and joys are in this journey, only they themselves will slowly experience it in the future.

Those years of laughing out loud, crying out loud, frightened but full of pride, are destined to become a deep imprint of their lives, which will remain in their hearts forever. Even if Qin Zhen and Gu Jie have no intersection with Yudong, Yebei, and Juntian since then, these god-like friends of life and death will always occupy an irreplaceable place in their hearts. It is a love that will not be diluted by the years.

It was these people who made Qin Zhen understand that there can be so many choices and so many differences in life. It turned out that the country was unharmed. The rise of the four seas needs to be maintained and consolidated by so many people's lives. It turns out that there are so many people with special missions in this world, and they may not necessarily be recorded in history, but in the end, they will be integrated with the mountains and rivers they have guarded with their lives.

It's just that sighing and emotion can't stop parting. Qin Zhen finally left the coast under He Xi's persuasion. followed He Xi back to a military hospital in Dalian.

Special wards, special treatment, but that special mood lingers for a long time. didn't stay for two days, Qin Zhen was clamoring to go home. Besides, Lao Gu and Lan Qing set off to Bohai as soon as the relationship was settled, and now it's time for the family to go back and make good progress.

Jiang Qi wants to return to the army, and He Xi also needs to go and explain what happened in Liaoning first. When parting, He Xi had an agreement with Qin Zhen that she would definitely go to Beijing to find Qin Zhen and take a look at Lao Gu and Lan Qing by the way.

One separation after another, even the pain. It's all going a little numb. When Qin Zhen finally returned to Beijing, looking at the bustling streets, he didn't know where to go. It seems that the adventure of being out of society for a long time has made him accustomed to that way of life. To put it more exaggeratedly, survival in the dark, although terrifying, is more comfortable.

Lao Gu felt that Qin Zhen was in a bad state and insisted on sending Qin Zhen home. But Qin Zhen refused more insistently than him: "You." There are two things to do right now. One, I just went back to report to my parents that I was safe. You say you're an 'archaeological consultant' expert. After I go back, I will be a glorious ancestor. This second, you just have to hurry up and see Lan Qing. After such a long time without any news, it is not easy for other girls to wait for you. This year, this society, don't say that you have been on for three or five months, just say three or five days. Maybe the wedding will be done when you come back. So, don't worry about me, buddy, you're fine! To say that it's not good outside, this time it's back to Beijing, what else do I have to worry about?? Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows and said with a pretended gesture. I want to be able to reassure Lao Gu with such an attitude.

But in the end, this hair is small, Lao Gu saw through Qin Zhen's heart at a glance, and immediately sneered and said: "Da Zhen, it may work for you to pretend to be with outsiders, but with me, you better forget it!" Who of us buddies doesn't know who! You're worried about Dongshao, right? You're also afraid that you will come to the end of life and death, but you will never see each other again, right? ”

Qin Zhen lit a cigarette, spit out his eyes leisurely, and did not answer Lao Gu's words.

Lao Gu didn't force him to ask, but continued: "Qin Zhen, in fact, I'm also uncomfortable!" It's not a good feeling in my heart. It's just that I thought about it later, and I thought that what the Night Boss said might have made sense. Maybe we have been following Dongshao all the way, and we have been used to it for a long time. But you can't forget, who is Dong Shao? He is Xia Yudong, a major general! It's the mysterious young master who guards Kyushu. His life and life have nothing to do with our ordinary people. In the future, when you have time and opportunity, the brothers will drink and chat together, and treat this past as a joke. Don't be so unbearable and unbearable. It's as if you were a 'god' in the Brahmaputra rainforest, and if you have been there, it is enough. When you leave the rainforest, you still have to spend money, pay taxes, eat food, and even if you set up a roadside stall, you still have to make a living, right? Tell the chengguan that you were a chief in the rainforest, so why don't you be beaten to death? ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zhen was actually laughed at by Lao Gu. The way this goods enlightens people is always so strange, but although the words are two hundred and five, Qin Zhen still listens to the truth. So at this time, Qin Zhen didn't want to live up to Lao Gu's kindness, so he had to pat him and said, "Okay, brother, don't bother." I'm just a little uncomfortable, I can't get to the role of setting up a stall, and I won't be mentally retarded enough to go and tell the chengguan that I'm the chief...... So don't worry about me! I'll go back to my small shop to continue to make a living after a few days of rest, you have developed well in the past two days, and I hope you will have some good news when you call me in a few days! ”

Seeing Qin Zhen's resolute attitude, Lao Gu couldn't say too much. I could only tell Qin Zhen to take medicine, drink water, and don't think about it...... Then they left in the direction of home.

Qin Zhen reported his safety to his family and returned to his home. The moment I opened the door, I suddenly had a lot of thoughts in my heart.

On the coffee table, there is also a purple clay pot used to make tea that night, and next to the pot are two delicate small tea bowls. One on one side, as if there were two people here just now drinking tea and chatting, and having a long talk.

The picture seems to be back to that night, but people are taking tea and cooling, what is happening to Yudong now? This may be the only ...... Qin Zhen can't let go of He just wanted to know if that person was born? Or die.

Of course, this may remain a mystery forever. No one will ever come to tell him about the final result. Just like those snow-capped mountains and abysses, rainforests and canyons hide mysteries for thousands of years, walk in any corner of the world, but not all mysteries have a chance to be solved.

This night, Qin Zhen did not relax and fall asleep after returning home. What he did was to soak a pot of clouds. A cup was placed on the opposite side of the coffee table, filled with tea, and quietly tasted tea and reminisced about the position of the air. Recalling the bits and pieces since Wang Bin's disappearance, it is like writing a memoir in my head, scene by scene, extremely clear.

Those pictures flashed in my mind one by one, and time flew in reality, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

Qin Zhen put down the teacup and told himself in his heart: such a memory. Only this life, for the last time. Unless, one day, he can learn about Yudong's whereabouts and life and death, he will not touch this experience and the past lightly.

Because every step they take is closely related to Yudong, and now, the most important person in this memory does not know life and death, and his whereabouts are unknown, how can he calmly recall those bits and pieces? Instead of asking for pain, it is better to hide the past.

Qin Zhen smoked a cigarette. Get ready to take a shower and get yourself back to real life. Forget about that unrealistic experience.

When you wake up, it's a new beginning.

In this way, a year passed in a hurry. Qin Zhen never heard anything about Yudong or Yebei and Juntian again. Moreover, people of their status and status are not something that Qin Zhen can find.

Jiang Qi and He Xi often come to sit with Qin Zhen and Gu Jie, and Qin Zhen's biggest gain is to find that the goddess He Xi seems to have a very good feeling for him. I don't know if this has something to do with the original incident of Bai Yushan's hero saving beauty?

The relationship between Lao Gu and Lan Qing has also stabilized, in the words of the goods themselves. This year and a half, I will get married. As the saying goes, the poor are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal are afraid of the dead, and the don't want to die? I'm afraid of shameless ...... Lao Gu is definitely the king of the last category.

It's just that they all have a very tacit understanding. No one has ever mentioned that past, and no one has mentioned Yudong again. In fact, this name has always been hidden deep in the hearts of any of them, but because it is too heavy, they are unwilling to touch it lightly.

Over the past year, Qin Zhen has gradually become accustomed to returning to reality. Although I occasionally wake up in the middle of the night, I still think of those thrilling pasts. But it must be admitted that those incomparably clear feelings seem to be rounded and blurred under the carving of time.

It was even difficult for him to think of Yudong's appearance sometimes, but he remembered that it was a man of peerless elegance, with a handsome face and a cold face-

It's April of another year, and Qin Zhen likes this season very much. Goose yellow and new green, drizzle in front of flowers, the most beautiful April day in the world. It is always easy to arouse a trace of joy and a trace of anxiety in people.

Qingming season is a season with melancholy. Those drizzles always remind people of those who are no longer there. In fact, after such a long time, in Qin Zhen's heart, he has already put Yudong in the ranks of the deceased.

As long as you remember that you once lived and died together, and once walked all over the rivers and mountains together, those lives and deaths no longer seem to be so important.

This Qingming, Qin Zhen gave himself a vacation. He didn't go to his own shop, but lazily nested at home. Listen to the wind, look at the rain, and set aside a little time to miss the person in your heart in this drizzly Qingming season.

Just as Qin Zhen was sitting by the window and meditating, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Qin Zhen was slightly stunned and looked up at his watch. At half past two in the afternoon, no one should have knocked on the door! On the Qingming Festival, is there still a visit?

After tidying up his loose shirt a little, Qin Zhen walked lazily to the door. With his listless "Who?" ”

The door opened.

Outside the door was a man with an umbrella, a black umbrella pressed quite low, and the rain was flowing down the edge of the umbrella. A silk shirt was so well-fitting and gorgeous for this man...... That innate temperament doesn't need too many complicated decorations to shine brightly. Tsinghua was noble, indifferent and detached, and a cold iceberg breath came to Qin Zhen the moment he opened the door......

"Is there a good cloud...... the man outside the door slowly opened his mouth, and the cold voice was as usual......

The umbrella was lifted slightly, and under the umbrella was a handsome face that had been lost for a long time! 's beautiful and dusty temperament makes people distinguish the difference between him and ordinary people at a glance. It's just that after more than a year of precipitation, those eyes like stars and abysses seem to have become more profound.

Qin Zhen had completely stayed in place, the two of them were in one door and the other outside, looking at each other quietly like this, silent for a long time......

After a while, Qin Zhen finally smiled bitterly. There was infinite sorrow and joy in his heart at the moment, so much so that his expression was neither crying nor laughing now.

I only heard Qin Zhen ask in a low voice: "It's Qingming Festival...... You're back? ”

"Hmm. I am back. "Concise words as always.

"Then come in, the clouds can't burn, and if it burns, I'll burn ten catties for you!" Qin Zhen opened the door jokingly and invited Yu Dong into the house.

The two of them sat across from each other, and in the middle was the freshly brewed, not very precious cloud. The curling green smoke of tea wafted away, and there was a special ethereal feeling between the two people who were speechless to each other.

It was this wisp of heat that made Qin Zhen squint his eyes and look at the person sitting opposite. Maybe it's because they've been separated for too long, and they've already been desperate, so now Qin Zhen even really doubted it, this ...... Is it true? Could it be that it's really going home to visit relatives on Qingming Day??

Yudong is still the same as before, and he can see through Qin Zhen's thoughts at a glance. I saw him smile and said, "After watching me for so long, you came to such a conclusion?" Am I a ghost? ”

Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

"After watching me for a long time, you came to such a conclusion?" This sentence was the first sentence that Yu Dong said to Qin Zhen and Gu Jie...... None of them have forgotten, how can they forget if they walked on the edge of life and death together......

The joy in Qin Zhen's heart was already beyond words. It is not too late to see that the friend of life and death is still alive, no matter how much time has passed. As long as he is alive, what can he count if he disappears for a year and a half?

The two of them talked a lot, a lot, after the separation. also chatted about the recent situation of the common friends around him, and it can be seen that Yudong found Qin Zhen for the first time. In this way, this guy is quite interesting!

After drinking a pot of tea, Yu Dong suddenly sat up straight, then looked at Qin Zhen with a faint smile, and said slowly: "Actually, along the way, I have questioned countless times whether I should have taken you into Lop Nur in the first place. Especially every time there is danger......"

"Nope." Qin Zhen decisively interrupted Yu Dong and said, "I'm glad that I walked into the desert, otherwise, Wang Bin will always become a knot in my heart." I won't know you, I won't know Juntian, Yebei and Moshang, I won't know Jiang Qi and He Xi, and Lao Gu won't know Lan Qing...... The trajectory of our lives has changed because of that trip to the desert. Yudong, this trip is not in vain. ”

"It's not worth it......" Yu Dong brought the teacup closer to his nose and smelled the fragrance of the tea, and then repeated Qin Zhen's words softly, as if he was reminiscing about the feelings and tastes in it.

Qin Zhen also raised his glass, with a heartfelt deep smile on his face, and said to Yudong seriously word by word: "Yes, this trip is not in vain, and this life is not in vain." (To be continued......)
