After coming out of the office of Chuncheng West Railway Station, the first person in my mind was the Yangtze River, and the almost immune dependence on him made me feel a little incredible, so quietly, the Yangtze River has occupied such an important position in my heart. Changjiang, Li Ameng and I were originally like three planets orbiting separately, but by mistake, the three planets orbiting in parallel orbits slowly intersected. For the Yangtze River, I have always had a deep sense of shame, he could have lived quietly, from the moment he chose to retreat, in fact, he was ready to spend the rest of his life in a plain chat. Perhaps, for him, plainness is the greatest happiness. But the appearance of Li Ameng and I once again swept him into the rivers and lakes that he had long been tired of. The wounds caused by Li Amun's death were fatal, and I have not seen him again since that day, and I think that he may be healing in some unknown place, and he must be like me, looking forward to hearing that Li Amon is still alive every moment. Actually, there is nothing wrong with letting him live with hope all the time, after thinking about it, I gave up this idea, he has the right to know the death of Li Ameng, and it is his own right to choose liberation or continue to sink.

The small shed of the Yangtze River is not far behind the drying ground of the recruit company, and according to the walking route that Li Amon told me, it didn't take much effort for me to find this low shed, if it weren't for the cauldron at the door of the low shed, most passers-by would have thought it for a simple thatched hut built in the wilderness. Standing outside the low shed, you will unconsciously feel a suffocating depression, upside down on the ground on the big iron pot, has accumulated a thick layer of rust spots, the small wooden bed in the low shed, a bed of tattered canvas armament exposed a large piece of cotton wool, black and sticky together, exuding a disgusting musty smell, crazy thatch pierced through the gaps between the wooden boards, unscrupulously wrapped around the cotton wool scattered on the bed. At the head of the bed there was a small table with a broken leg, on which only a steel porcelain bowl for brushing teeth was placed, and under the porcelain bowl, an unsealed envelope was pressed, and on the envelope were written a few large characters "Wantian Qinqi".

When I picked up the envelope, there were already signs of rot on the surface of the envelope, it must have been on the table for a long time, it turned out that he had expected me to find it.

"When you read this letter, I may have died in the poor mountains and rivers of Burma, and if I am lucky enough not to die, you don't have to worry about me. After Xiao Meng's accident, I never knew how to face you, please forgive me for saying goodbye. In the dark, I have a gut feeling that Xiao Meng is not dead, just below the cliff where she fell, she has been waiting for us all along, and if I can't bring her back, you must continue to look for her. The place we are going to is the most cruel hell in the world, don't forget what I told you, only by making yourself strong, can you afford more responsibilities, "the road is simple, move with your heart", when you reach this realm, look at the world, there is no place you can't go. "The letter of the Yangtze River is very short, but the words are beautiful and deafening, this old man who is also a teacher and a friend, is it gone forever? I feel that I should do something, think about it, but I don't have a clue, if what Director Li said is true, what is the meaning of the Yangtze River's action, perhaps, he will make himself feel better in doing so, but this is not the result I want to see, with his character, the things that he recognizes will definitely persist without hesitation, this insistence will only make him fall into a deeper circle of death, and spend his whole life looking for a dead person who he still thinks is "alive", in my opinion, this is a pitiful and sad thing.

As I pondered, a man jumped down from the barracks wall across from me and fell to the ground with a thud, a seasoned repeat offender who, judging by his skilful manoeuvre, easily walked through the woods beyond the high wall.

"Hehe, I really guessed it, you are really here, half an hour ago, Director Li of the Public Security Bureau called me and told me that I had sent you back, I didn't see you inside, I guess you must have arrived here" Tie Ta smiled smartly, I was grateful that he could leave me half an hour, which was enough time for me to sort out a lot of clues.

"Do you come to this place often?" I asked, wondering what was in my mind.

"Sort of, since I met this old man, he has become a mystery in my mind, and if I don't investigate him for a day, I feel like I have a lump in my heart. Once I had made up my mind, I used all the connections and connections I could muster, but I got nothing. His mystery was far beyond my expectations, I even found an encrypted file about him, I thought it would be a breakthrough, but it disappointed me again, his file was no different from an ordinary file, just one more document of forced discharge, and the reason given was "disorganization and violation of military discipline" , which discipline was violated, it was not written above, this is not in line with normal organizational procedures, and, to be able to do this unbelievable thing to such a drip-tight degree, the organization and energy involved in it is certainly not simple, with my ability, I can't reach this height at all, and in desperation, I have to give up the idea of behind-the-scenes investigation. Since he was right in front of me, why should I go far and near, and in this way, I formed an indissoluble bond with this hut. ”

"The result?" I was looking forward to the tower's findings.

"As a result, I became friends with him, but I still didn't know anything about him, slowly, I have diluted my exploration of him**, since he would rather rot in his heart than tell others, why should I uncover his scars, sometimes, I was thinking, how terrible people's obsessions are, at that time, I really reached the point of going crazy, all I thought about was how to get his clues, and suddenly one day, I said that I would let go of it all. In this world, there is nothing that can never be put down" When the tower said this, he looked at me meaningfully,

"Hehe, maybe, put it down or not, it's a question that varies from person to person, when I came in, there was a letter on this table, which was written by him, if you really have put it down, then you don't need to read it, if you haven't really put it down, through this letter, you may be able to understand him better" After I finished saying this, I threw the letter directly on the table in front of him.

Iron Tower was visibly moved when he saw the letter, but he quickly shook his head at me.

"To tell you the truth, I was tempted just now, but not out of his mysterious identity, but out of concern among friends, at this moment, I want to know more about his present, as for his past, it is better to leave it to himself" Iron Tower does not need to defend anything, he is not a person who can find an interface, I have no doubt about this.

"What are you going to do?" Iron Tower's face was full of solemnity after reading the letter.

"Get in touch with Li Ameng's father first, if I guess correctly, he can find me at the Chuncheng West Toll Gate, it's the news you provided, this time, I have to borrow your hand to contact him, this letter from the Yangtze River should let him know"

"Okay, I'll call"

A few minutes later, the tower handed me the phone.

"Xiao Wan, is there anything wrong with you?" Director Li's words were deeply tired.

"I want to make sure one last time, whether Xiao Meng is really dead, don't be in a hurry to answer, because I have a very important news to tell you, do you remember the lame old man, it is the bodyguard I introduced to Xiao Meng, he is now at the border, if Xiao Meng is really dead, his next efforts will be in vain, it is very likely, the rest of his life will be spent in this meaningless search, do you understand what I mean?"

"I—I don't know what you mean," the other side suddenly hung up, but I wasn't angry at all, on the contrary, there was a kind of joy in my heart.

"Haha, she's really not dead, I'm going to find her" When I said this, the tower was startled, and I myself was shocked, I actually forgot that my current identity is an active soldier.

"Listen to me, don't get excited, after you go back, we will discuss from the long term" There is an indescribable apprehension in the words of the tower, I always feel that he has something to hide from me, but then I dispelled the doubts in my heart, the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, there is always a solution to the problem, when we walked out of the small shed of the Yangtze River, a gust of wind completely blew down this dilapidated shed.
