Volume 1: The Jade Festival Chapter 88 The Fall of the Head
The bright moon and flowers are like a dream, and the drunken guests can't wake up.
Hundreds of gold scattered all the joy, leaving the turbulent water empty to sigh to themselves.
Lu Yicheng, whose face was red, leaned lightly on the carved railing, blurred with hazy drunken eyes, half sober and half stupid, squinting at the bright moon in the sky, and said as if talking to himself: "In a few days, labor and management will go one step further and move to Nayiguang Mansion." β
A group of drunkards in the wing room of the restaurant are mostly immersed in the pleasure of dogs and horses at this moment, or they are confused by the luxury and noise of the drunken gold fans in front of them, but no one will care.
'The road to heaven above 10,000 people, who said that labor and management are unattainable!' Heaven does not give it to itself, my generation should take it for itself! I'm just going to climb and climb and climb all the way up, and I have to trample everyone underfoot! Hahaha! β
The man's heart is already full of infinite reverie for the grand plan of the future.
has traveled all the way, and only Lu Pei himself can know the hardships of the journey. He gave up too much in order to climb up. Personality, dignity, pride... The same kind of spiritual support that is regarded as a treasure on weekdays, it seems that it will always become less important at the time of necessity, and he can always be ruthlessly thrown away by him, in exchange for some rights and money to allow others to give alms.
Is it worth it? The simple answer of yes or no, but the answer is so difficult. He began to regret it, began to have nostalgia, and began to hope to get it back, but that original purity had long been lost and forgotten into the corner where it was.
It's too late, the spirit has gone into the abyss, and there is a shore everywhere.
The emptiness and sinking of the soul can only be reluctantly reached a strange equilibrium point that is so fragile that it is ridiculous to rely on the desperate pursuit of material desires.
But in the end, he still realized that he would still be humbly trampled underfoot.
He is unwilling, he is not convinced, he wants to climb up! This is his own way of survival!
Even if it's crawling forward! Even if it's to give up everything! So what?
What he wants is a sense of presence above 10,000 people! What he wants is that all the people who once looked down on him can only look up! He imagined he would do it! He believes he can do it! He knew this was what he wanted!
Soon! Everything will come true! He couldn't be more confident.
Five-seven-three is full of ambition, and he just had a little heroism in his chest to sing about wine, but he was suddenly pulled by a person and grabbed his pants. I saw the drunk man rubbing his face with Lao Lu's hairy legs, and said in a drunken voice: "Lao A, Yi Keyou will catch me and move forward." (Boss, you're going to take me with you)"
"Hiccup!" Although Lu Pei also drank a lot, his words were quite clear, "You wait for your brother for a few years." β
As he spoke, Lu Pei had already put his arm around Gao Wenbin's shoulders, sat down beside him, and whispered in his ear: "In the future, this Jade Festival Station, Xiao Liang is the boss, you are the second, hiccup!" As he spoke, he patted Shi Liang's back, "Don't worry, when that kid goes to get the Ziyan Master, this camp will be up to you, how about it?" β
"Drink, drink! I have more than a pot and a wooden head, drink and drink! (Good, good!) I'm looking forward to my brother and I, hahaha)" Gao Wenbin said vaguely, but he raised the wine pot in his hand, meaning to drink with Lu Pei.
"Come, heroes!" Lu Yicheng is naturally also a man of temperament, and he raised the porcelain pot in his hand to meet Lao Gao.
"It seems to be enough to talk to Brother Ying, but please answer! (But it's a bullshit hero, be a respected boss)" Lao Gao said nonsense, but he was interested, and he drank booze, and the wine in the pot had bottomed out.
Seeing that this kid was so heroic, Lu Pei suddenly became angry about gambling, forced himself to take a sip, stuffed the remaining wine in the pot, and laughed: "Come on, come on, drink together, you can't go home if you don't get drunk, hahaha." β

When the bright moon was in the sky, Shi Liang sat alone in his small courtyard, half-lying on an old rattan chair, with a pot of cooled light tea beside him, as if he could find the leisure and comfort of the past.
Tonight's galaxy is extraordinarily bright, either bright white or pale blue, full of stars, and from time to time there are smooth streams.
The man shook the fan gently, bored, and even a little wordless.
The small fan was left by Lin Muyan, and it has been placed in the room that basically maintains its original appearance. I don't know what kind of incense the little girl has soaked in this fan, but when Shi Liang fans it up tonight, there is often a wisp of incense that seems to have no fragrance.
Most of the officers and soldiers in the camp were not on duty at night, and most of them went to Mingyue Restaurant. This is Lu Pei's request, thinking that Gao Wenbin celebrates his achievements, and he naturally wants to be willing to give up if he is not drunk and has no return. Shi Liang stayed alone in the camp, so he simply took leave and returned home.
The silence of the night is the best way to evoke all kinds of good memories of the past, even if it is a rough man who has been in the army for a long time, there will be no exception.
Not long ago, Shi Liang, who had just experienced the imminent of death, was somehow floating in his mind at this moment, full of memories of the past, the delicate Lin Muyan smiled suddenly, and the reluctance to see Yang Hao and Geng San leave was also in front of him, and the little sister who was worried about him still had no news, Geng Er, Gao's, Shi Guangzhong... It's as if the people who left are still around.
It's just a pity that memories are just memories.
Since Shi Liang turned over the memories and returned them to reality, he found that no one was still by his side.
Loneliness, like a domineering monarch, will always come to a strong position at a certain moment, oppressing those who have no way to resist to accept the only creed it gives: learn to accept it, and endure the loneliness that is the only one that still accompanies him.
The only thing that can resist it may be the sleeping silence.
When he was asleep, Shi Liang seemed to see a girl, haunted by his dreams.
"Xiaolan, are you okay?"
He remembered in a trance that when he was about to be hunted by the morning and night insects, he really thought about giving up.
Give up the glory of a warrior, give up a heroic death, and steal your life.
Even if you don't deserve this soldier, you can't die easily! At least before he died, he wanted to see the girl he was thinking about again, and told her, "I like you." β
"Xiaolan, I love you." Wordless and endless love can only be told to the galaxy and loneliness.
βββββββββββββββ
The sun always rises as usual, no matter whether the people of last night had a sad or happy day.
Before the Mao fashion arrived, Shi Liang had already returned to the Yujieyi early as usual.
The soldier on duty, who was sleepy, forced a half-closed yawn to open the camp door for the man. The camp was still desolate, and only a few soldiers on duty who had missed the feast were still standing still, waiting for the rallying horn to sound every day.
The brave and fierce warriors who have stayed up all night will also have some wilting at this moment. It's just that they can't sleep for the time being. As long as they survive the handover of work after a while, they will be able to have three days of rest, which is the personal promise that Lu Pei gave them last night.
However, today's situation is a little different from the past. I don't know why, near the time of the assembly, none of the platoon leaders and soldiers who left the camp last night had returned, except for Shi Liang.
Most of the soldiers on the martial arts arena were gone, and only some weak remnants remained, standing trembling in a sparse queue.
Shi Liang frowned, and there was inevitably some flustered hesitation in his heart.
What the hell is going on! If it was just that the soldiers from the other platoon were not there, he might not be completely sure, but how could he not understand the soldiers brought out by himself in the third platoon.
"The brothers must have been delayed by something important, so that no one has returned until now." The man had to take the initiative to stand up and comfort everyone, and he was just about to step out as he spoke, and was about to do the next thing. But at this moment, a slightly abrupt and strange sound came from the far north of the self-camp, and the sound did not stop, and the sharp piercing of the ears was getting closer and closer.
"Woo-woo!" This is a special frequency band that will only be blown out when a major change occurs in the Legion of Fierce Armor! It's just that this timbre, when you hear it, is not a standard military horn issued to the Japanese barracks.
The martial arts arena exploded, and now only Shi Liang can stand up and lead the team.
"Armor!" The man didn't have time to think, so he was resolute! was about to subconsciously walk out of his cabin, and he could take a step, but he landed on his toes and felt a trance.
His own mecha has been destroyed, how can he still be armoured!
This is undoubtedly the most believable fact, but the situation at this time did not give Shi Liang time to feel sorry for himself.
The man then changed his words: "All the heavy armor soldiers obey orders!" Those who can wear armor should wear armor as soon as possible! The rest of the people waited with me to the gate of the camp to find out what was real! As he spoke, he had already strengthened his spirits, beckoned everyone, and was the first to rush to the outside of the camp gate.
In the distance, the dust was billowing up, and it was a galloping bird and beast, taking extremely fast and elegant steps, rushing at the fastest speed. The beast and bird are close to the left, and the person on the back peak is the head of the row, holding the reins tightly in one hand, blowing the golden suona that seems to have been snatched from the musician of the Mingyue Restaurant in the other, and blowing the special frequency band in the barracks with his back to the sky.
Rushing to the closest, this man who was flying with the wind, but he couldn't wait for the birds and beasts to stop, he was already relying on the martial arts of the veteran, turned over and jumped down, and rolled on the ground three times in a row, unloading his strength, and suddenly stood up.
"The head of the line has fallen!" As soon as the man spoke, a thunderclap was released.
"What!" Shi Liang plucked out his ears, and for a moment thought that he had misheard.
"The head of the line has fallen! Last night, everyone drank too much in the Mingyue Restaurant-Huhu-Huhu-Boss Lu, who was only found when he got up this morning, had a purple complexion, and his body was already cold, and he was rescued at this time-Huhu-It's too lateββγ,ββ Huhu-Hu- The man was very tired and his breath was confused, and it was not easy to finish speaking.
The leader of the line who came back to deliver the message was one of the "surviving ten", who had been following Lu Pei for a long time, so he was naturally able to understand Shi Liang's reaction, and he had repeated these words for a long time along the way, and at this time he was all relying on instinct to spit out.
As soon as the man's voice fell, his body was already weak, his stomach was churning, and he immediately lay on the ground and vomited wildly, as if he was going to vomit all the wine and food last night before he stopped.
"How could it be! Teacher, he was still doing well yesterday! Although the man said clearly, Shi Liang still grabbed the collar of the row and asked angrily.
He has a deep relationship with Lu Pei's master and apprentice, and yesterday the teacher also brought a group of backbone members of the camp to stand for him to show his intimacy, but he heard the news of the teacher's death today, how can Shi Liang be willing to believe it.
An old man in the restaurant said that it was probably a sudden heart attack caused by drunkenness. The man breathed back a little, and said with difficulty.
