There is an old saying in China, called "When a long drought is rainy, a foreign country meets an old acquaintance, a cave house spends candle night, and the gold list is inscribed". It is used to describe the four joyful events of life. And the sentence "meet old acquaintances in other places" is usually used to describe meeting old people who have not been seen for a long time, in order to express the feeling of joy and excitement.

But when I saw this man clearly, there was no joy or excitement in my heart, because I never thought that his appearance at this moment would be combined with the current environment, so it was more of a surprise and incomprehension, but I couldn't be happy at all.

This person is my small hair from childhood to adulthood, when I was young, because of the small size, the lower row of teeth and a little buck, often teased and bullied, I always go to help him, we go to the old school together, recite homework together, fight wits and courage with Mr. together, naughty together, and listen to the play together in front of the stage. His father was never able to return after leaving Sichuan to resist the Japanese, and his mother entrusted him to his father's brother and remarried, and his whereabouts have not been known since.

Yes, he was my best friend since I was a child. He is the person who knows the most secrets of me in the world, and so do I, after I worshipped Lin Qishan as a teacher by chance when I was seventeen years old, so there will be a lot less contact. But in those days, I often went back to find my second uncle and Di Baotian. I remember that the second uncle broke his leg in those days, and the second uncle's own children were still very young, so basically Di Baotian was taking care of the second uncle, and later Di Baotian joined the army with honor and became a member of the family and the country.

This time we met again, but on such an occasion, I believe that I am the same as him, and the surprise in my heart far exceeds the joy of reunion after a long absence. Because I grew up with him and had a surprisingly good friendship, we didn't even fight once, and now I had a big scimitar around his neck, and I was pulling his hair in my hand, and he was about to get a gun out of his trouser pocket and shoot me.

How could it be you? What are you doing here? I also asked in surprise, because I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and we have grown up over the years, and our appearance has changed a lot, but the familiarity between my eyebrows and eyes still made me recognize him in a short time.

Di Baotian heard me ask, and knew that I had recognized him, and in surprise he said to the man who was stabbing Da Mao's neck with a dagger, Quick! Everyone put down their weapons, a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Di Baotian was indeed already a "chief", as soon as he said this, the other party immediately put down the dagger in his hand, but he still did not untie Da Mao and the silly girl. Then the men who were originally here to help silently retreated to the side, the silly girl was so frightened that she cried, and Da Mao's face was also pale for a while, and the woman standing on the side seemed to be more surprised than us at the moment, obviously she was already frightened when I broke the window, and the plot changed a little quickly, and she couldn't react at all. I saw her mouth open wide, her eyes scanning back and forth between my and Di Baotian's faces.

But I still didn't put down the knife in my hand, because I was also blindfolded at the moment, and it was a feeling of extreme contradiction, because my best friend appeared in the most dangerous environment, but he was still my enemy, and for a moment, I was at a loss. I only heard Di Baotian say to the men standing on the side, you all go out, I'll be fine, this is my old brother, no one is allowed to come in without my orders. Then Di Baotian said to the woman, you go out too, there is nothing for you here.

The woman withdrew from her surprise and said, I don't go out, what is the situation now, how do you know each other, how many things are there that I don't know, you didn't tell me? But her words were rudely interrupted by Di Baotian, who shouted at her loudly, get out of here! I'll talk about it later!

It can be seen that the "official rank" of the earth is bigger after all, no matter how reluctant this woman is, she will never dare to disobey. So the woman glared at me, then turned to look at me, glared at me with even more ferocious eyes, and then left the house with the men. When I went out, I slammed the door hard.

As a result, there were only four people left in the house, me and Di Baotian, Da Mao and Silly Girl. After being silent for a while, Di Baotian smiled and said to me, "Brother, are you going to hold me hostage like this?" How uncomfortable, let's let go and say okay? I didn't answer and I didn't react. Di Baotian slowly took the 54-style pistol out of his trouser pocket and threw it at his feet. There was a clicking sound as the pistol collided with the ground, and then he slowly opened his hands, meaning that he had no other weapons on him, and it was time for us to talk.

Seeing this, I let go of the hand that grabbed him by the hair, but the knife was still on his neck, and I bent down and picked up the pistol, I had never played with a gun, and it was better to give it to me than a knife, but since I held it in my hand, it was much less of a threat to me. So I slowly removed the knife from his neck, but I didn't put it in my bag, but carried it in my hand, just in case.

I looked at Di Bao Tian who was sitting on the side, and let Da Mao come to me, I didn't dare to take my eyes off Di Bao Tian, although it was my best buddy since I was a child, but at this moment I had to doubt him deeply. When Da Mao came to me, I cut the rope that bound him with a scimitar, and asked him to untie the silly girl, and I slowly walked to the opposite side of the earth, and sat down on the chair in front of him, with the scimitar in my right hand lying horizontally on my knee.

Seeing my series of actions, Di Baotian smiled slightly, it seemed that he could also understand my suspicions at the moment, but more puzzled. So he took a cigarette out of his breast pocket, lit one himself, and threw one to me, and then he got up and came to me and lit it for me. I pressed the scimitar against his chest as he approached me, which was a very unkind gesture, especially for an old friend like me and him, but Di Baotian seemed to understand, after all, in such an occasion, we had better make things clear before we talked. After lighting the cigarette, he replied and sat down in his place, spit out a puff of cigarette, and then asked me, "Brother, you haven't seen you for so many years, don't you come to harm, how did you get into this matter with such good interest?"

Di Baotian has been tempered in the army for so many years, and he is no longer the hairy boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he looks very calm and sophisticated when he talks at the moment. And since he said that I was stirring up, it seems that he has no intention of hiding it from me, and it seems to me that I am trying to save my friend, and in his opinion, my presence seems to be a bad thing. So I didn't answer, just looked at him silently, because I knew that my action of breaking through the window just now was enough to make Di Baotian think that I must have heard a lot of news outside the window, so there was no need to hide it from me at all. Seeing that I didn't answer and didn't make a sound, Di Baotian smiled and said, I know you have a lot of questions, since you don't want to answer when I talk to you, it's better for you to ask me, I can assure you that everything I say is true, because you are my best buddy, even in some places, our positions and angles are different.

What he meant by his words was almost acknowledging the difference between his and my positions. Although I am just a small common man, but I still hope that the country and the people are safe, from the words I heard before, it seems that the conspiracy is carried out in order to sabotage, not to mention that he threatened to pull out the tongue of Da Mao and the stupid girl, and cut off their hands and tendons, all of this is to prevent the leakage of news, and in fact, Da Mao knows that the situation is similar to mine, if it weren't for my previous eavesdropping, I wouldn't have thought that Di Baotian and this group of people are actually spies.

So I didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly to Bao Tiandao, are you a reactionary spy? Unexpectedly, Di Baotian replied to me without hesitation, yes. To you, I'm called a spy, but to us I'm not, it's just a difference in understanding. I asked, "Why are you doing this?" Where has our country treated you badly? Di Baotian said, no one has treated me badly, but I have woken up myself, although I have been in the army all these years, but I have heard and seen a lot of things, this is not the army I wanted to join, the world is in chaos, we ordinary people are powerless to reverse, so I must find some people who can reverse this situation, and exchange the sacrifice of a few people for the awakening of the majority.

I myself have been a victim of this catastrophe, and I am very disappointed, even sad, but I have never thought of betraying, because it is already a matter of principle, and if I betray my country because of such a setback, how can the person or organization that accepts me be so reassuring of a betrayer. Di Baotian said, when I was in the army, I met some high-level figures, although not all of them were enough to turn things around, but if these people joined forces, it was not impossible. So a few years ago, I was secretly transferred to Taiwan, and what I saw was a completely different atmosphere in the world, and I wanted to change, such a change can save most people, and I am willing to sacrifice for it, even if there are many people who die unexplained, it is not that they die worthless.

When Di Baotian said this, he was very calm and hardly changed his face. I was very stunned.
