Chapter 1: The Return of the Lone Warrior
It turns out that it will be such a reunion.
On the broken bridge, pedestrians are as sparse as ever. It was a cold broken bridge, very long and high, over the boundless river, which looked like the road to heaven, empty, bleak, and endless......
A slender girl stood by the bridge in a daze, staring motionless into the distance until her sight disappeared, letting the raging river wind blow her long hair into the air, waving wantonly, her eyes focused and silent............
The geese flew by, leaving a few whinings, and the freighters in the distance let out a long muffled roar weakly, and time and space seemed so far away.
The sky was drizzling and slightly cool, and there was no one on the broken bridge at this time. "Jiang Xiao, be your woman again in the next life! Be your woman in the next life! Did you hear that! ”
A sudden shout broke through the boundless silence and drifted with the wind in the direction of heaven.
The world was silent again, but there was more choking of girls, tears pouring out like opening the floodgates, light makeup, and raindrops......
The girl's name is Jian Wen, and the story between her and Jiang Xiao has a bleak gray tone, which may not be accurate.
This is where the story begins.
"Xiaowen, I'm almost there, where are you now?" The train returning home from the army let out a long whistle, slowed down its speed, and slowly drove towards the platform.
The caller was a handsome guy with a tough appearance and perseverance, his face was filled with indescribable joy and tenderness, looking forward to the happiness and sweetness of the reunion, blooming like a flower.
A well-fitting military uniform, a veteran, this is exactly the man in Jian Wen's mouth, Jiang Xiao.
"Jiang Xiao, remember, I'm only waiting for you for two years! I will wait for you in two years. If you don't come back after two years, we'll break up by default! ”
The picture of parting two years ago is vivid, Jiang Xiao's eyes can't help but moisten a little, that scene is like yesterday, two years of bitter lovesickness, two years of thousands of miles of longing.
"Xiaowen, this may be the last chance in my life, for a wish I had when I was a child, and for our future home, I want to seize this opportunity to be a soldier."
"Hmm...... Jiang Xiao, remember, I'm only waiting for you for two years........." The conversation at the time of parting, the past is one after another......
"Two years later, with all the scars and honors on my back, I left the special operations brigade that had suffered and had been bloody, laughed and moved, and returned to this familiar and unfamiliar city...... Jiang Xiao wrote earnestly in his diary.
"After two years, I'm back!"
"I hope that at the exit of the station, the first thing I see is you!" Jiang Xiao happily imagined the happy picture that he had imagined many times in the past two years.
I finally heard that familiar and unfamiliar voice on the phone, "I can't leave the company because of something, that, didn't your parents pick you up?" ”
"Can't the company take a leave of absence today?"
Jiang Xiao was a little disappointed, Jian Wen actually forgot that she had lost his only relative, his mother, in high school.
There was a faint man's impatient complaint on the other side of the phone, as for what he said, he couldn't hear it clearly, and when he looked down and saw that it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"It's so late, why don't you get off work yet?"
"The company has been busy lately and is working overtime."
"Oh, that's it!"
"Hmmm! I'll look for you tomorrow! You have a good night's rest! The company still has something to do, that's it! ”
"Oh, then you should go back to rest early in the evening....."
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
As a special soldier who was regarded as the king of beast soldiers by his comrades-in-arms, Jiang Xiao had a premonition that made him feel very uncomfortable.
"The train has arrived at HF station, passengers and friends ......." The sound of the station announcement pulled Jiang Xiao from his contemplation. The people on the bus cheered and rushed out of the car to the exit to find their relatives and friends.
In the green stream, Jiang Xiao walked out of the station unhurriedly, his face calm.
The pictures that I have been looking forward to for two years appear one after another around me, but none of them have anything to do with me. In the excitement, outside the happiness, Jiang Xiao is cold and lonely, and the others have nothing to do with him.
In the winter night, the street lamp stretched Jiang Xiao's lonely figure longer and longer. The cold wind blew on his face, and Jiang Xiao's heart was blown more and more desolate, and endless loneliness and loss came to his heart......
Taking the train all the way down from the plateau area at an altitude of nearly five thousand meters, returning to the city of this inland plain, breathing enough oxygen, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but have a slight headache. This may be the legendary drunken oxygen, Jiang Xiao relieved himself.
The lights of the bustling metropolis made Jiang Xiao a little dazzled. Holding on to the street lamp pole next to him with one hand, he lowered his head to adjust his breathing, patted his head helplessly, and dragged his slightly disobedient legs aimlessly forward.
"Hey, Brother Soldier! Accommodation not? There are a lot of people in the past two days, and the hotels are basically full, and the time is so late, and it is not easy to take a taxi. "Out of nowhere, an aunt who pulls a lodging business speaks Mandarin with a strong dialect flavor.
Jiang Xiao was a little confused in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he only replied lightly: "No, thank you!" ”
Continuing to walk forward alone, he now just wants to find a place where no one is around, blow the cold wind, and let his heart be quiet......
