Chapter 11: Thou shalt not speak the truth
As for how to cross, the old man didn't say it directly, just let me go home and sleep well and sleep for the last time.
The daughter-in-law had mixed feelings, neither happy nor sad. She knew that I had to cross over to get better, and that I could come back and live a better life with her. However, there is no man in the family, and the man will leave for at least 2 years, and he is still a little reluctant to give up his husband and wife for a hundred days.
In the evening, she deliberately made four hard dishes, all of which I love to eat, dried tofu with sharp peppers, fried mung bean sprouts with garlic sprouts, sauerkraut and white meat and blood sausage, sauce bone sticks, and a vat of liquor. My daughter-in-law also came with two bottles of beer, and the two of us had to talk about it, which should be the first time since we got married.
Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law either cried or laughed after a few glasses of wine, and after a while, she began to draw her soul. But the brain is still quite sober.
"The master, no, you said that talented man, how did he know that you would engrave the monument, and he carved the wrong name. There's also one that allows you to cross without letting you talk nonsense. It's good to tell the truth, but how he knows, isn't it too strange. ”
"Actually, I wondered too."
Yes, to be honest, it's really my shortcomings, and I have suffered a lot in the past.
I remember that in the second year of being a soldier, I worked as a clerk in the company, and the family of the company commander lived in the company for more than half a year.
At that time, the company's food expenses were also sufficient, and the soldiers did not see a few slices of meat for a few days, and the pigs raised by the company were as thin as hemp stalks. The good places on the pig's body and the water in the heart and liver have to be kept for the company commander's family. That's not all, the cooking class has to arrange someone to cook three meals a day, and each meal has to be prepared with two dishes.
Before I ate with the communicator, we had to bring the food from the cooking class to the company headquarters while it was hot, and then we went back to the canteen to eat.
The soldiers did not see the oil, and they had opinions as soon as they came and went, and the deputy company commander and secretary general in charge of logistics also dared not speak out, and could only complain in private.
At that time, the higher-level business department required the instructors of each company to publish an article in the army newspaper every year, and the instructor did not have time to write and handed over the task to me and had not yet completed the task.
I think that the company commander's family has been eating our soldiers' food expenses for a long time for nothing, and I have inquired with other units about other companies as well, and I think we should write a manuscript to reflect the reflection, but I am afraid of offending the company commander, so the deputy company commander Bai Zhiqiang's idea is that I can submit a manuscript in the form of a reader's letter under a pseudonym.
It didn't matter what I tried, and within a week, the article I wrote was published in the "Friends of Readers" column, the largest newspaper in the military. For a while, "What should I do if my family has a long-term overstay?" This article actually aroused heated discussions among the officers and men of the entire unit, and the manuscript was rated as the good news of the month.
After that, the higher-level logistics department closely issued a death order, requiring all units to conduct self-examination and comprehensively clean up the problem of long-term overhousing of family members. In this situation, our sister-in-law was very helpless, so she had to go back to her hometown with the child.
Although our company commander was a big man, he was very careful, and he always felt that something was wrong, and one day he accidentally found the original manuscript I had written in the messenger's drawer. He was angry with me, but he had to put it out, but he made a note of it in his heart, and then he put on small shoes for me.
But the problem of being honest has not been improved.
Now the old man specially reminds me of this aspect, even if I see through the matter over there, I can't say that I can't say it, it seems that people have seen me through.
My daughter-in-law was reluctant to let me go, so she wanted to talk to me, but she fainted after two bottles of wine.
At this time, the wind was blowing inexplicably outside the window.
The two wooden windows in the main house of my house opened by themselves.
My body began to feel lighter, and I couldn't help but float in the wind. My daughter-in-law panicked and hurriedly pulled my feet with her hands, but her strength seemed to be very small, and she couldn't hold my feet at all, she was shouting something so hard that I couldn't hear it.
My body is no longer at my beckon.
All the trees and crops in front of me, the sun, and so on, all of a sudden lost color, they were all gray, there were mountains, mud houses, etc., and it felt like a few lines, not so clear objects.
This unknown object, in front of the eyes, does not have much time to form a rotating vortex. This vortex is like the feeling of moving from the inside out, from near to far. Very quiet, and very ethereal artistic conception. He himself seemed to be in this whirlpool, as if it were a dot, and as if it were a small speck of dust. In the dust, you can still see the daughter-in-law crying on the ground. And at this time, it seems that he has been hollowed out again, with no strength and no voice
……
Another cold wind blew over my head.
I was already lying across the horse, my feet and head drooping down.
The mouth, numb, rubbed the horse's belly left and right.
My whole body was sore, and I fell apart.
The little water in my stomach was vomited out one by one.
Not to mention, war horses are human.
When he heard the movement of the person being carried, he automatically stopped.
I was slowly and gently lowered from my horse to the only piece of dry grass.
Surrounded by thick white snow.
The snow suddenly reflected a face.
My eyes widened.
Golden locks?
How are you, where are we?
I wanted to ask, but I didn't say anything.
My mouth cannot be opened, nor my tongue will be at its beckon.
I struggled to keep my eyes open, my eyebrows furrowed upward, hoping that the golden lock would see me.
But the golden lock didn't know anything, and only cared about moving around me.
I was numb and unconscious.
……
I certainly don't know what happened in the middle of the night last night.
It turned out that according to the arrangement of the golden lock, Orion told the common thing of Orion to pour water into the bear's paw with a beginning and an end, and it was seamless.
Coupled with the cooperation with the general, I succeeded in becoming a scapegoat.
Fortunately, the deputy general Chen Qiang came out to intercede, and I was exempted from the death penalty, and I was severely beaten.
Beaten to death, I was tossed into the stable by four soldiers, holding me by hands and feet.
In the end, only two soldiers were left to guard, and the crowd dispersed.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Jin Suo, dressed in a night suit and veil, knocked down the guards and rescued me from the stable, helped me to my horse, and escaped from the camp.
The alarmed patrol team returned after a long pursuit.
……
Fortunately, at dawn, Jin Suo helped me to a farm.
There was a kind old couple who allowed us to stay and recuperate in the back room.
On this day, the two old men were collecting dry firewood in the yard, and Jin Suo and I were basking in the sun in the yard.
I asked him,
"Guard Jin, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, why did you risk your life to save me, aren't you afraid of losing your head? And, I never understood, what's going on with that needle? Your dynasty won't produce this thing, right? ”
The golden lock coped,
"Your main task now is to recuperate from your injuries. Don't think about anything else. I'm your brother, how can I not save my brother when he's in trouble? ”
There is nothing wrong with Jin Suo's words.
"Then let me ask you, Golden Lock, where are we, can we go back to the camp?"
Jin Suo smiled and patted me lightly on the shoulder,
"This is the junction of Yan and Liang, we can't go back! Wait for you to heal your injuries, I will take you to Daliang Country to make a fortune, agree no! ”
"Of course I agree, anyway, Yan Guo and Liang Guo are mixed food everywhere for me as a cook. It's just that you are a personal guard under the general's tent, and you have scratched this position, aren't you blind in vain? “
"Well, don't worry about it! As an official and errand boy, I have long been enough! ”
"Yes, that's good, if you don't feel sorry, I'll rest assured, I'll mess with your golden lock guards in the future!"
Jin Suo smiled,
"What kind of guards and guards, we are good buddies, good brothers, in the future, you will call me Golden Lock, and I will call you half a journey. The past events of you and me, when no one can talk about them in the future, if you talk about it, it will cause death, you know no! ”
"Okay! You are an official, you can be called a brother and sister with me, a cook, and it is worth living in this life! ”
Even though I didn't quite understand Jin Suo's words, I still high-fived Jin Suo, and the moment I high-fived, my body was sour again.
