Chapter 32: The Silent War

He Mumu sent the taxi away, and shook his head after a long time.

He already had a hunch, so Yu Chao's words didn't hit him much.

It's just that Yu Chao has a sentence that he doesn't understand, what does it mean to "don't ask him in the future", can't he ask for it, can someone force him to fail?

"Inexplicable. ”

......

At this moment, Grandma Wang, who had just returned from the supermarket not far away, saw He Mu and trotted over with a few plastic bags full of things.

"He Mu, you've really recovered!What are you doing here, the person who just looked for you?"

Seeing her red face and energetic, He Mu replied with a smile: "I just left." ”

"Is it an acquaintance?"

"I'm not familiar with it, so I just said a few words and left. ”

"Oh, anyway, your body has recovered, and I finally came back, so I have to make some more food to celebrate, go, go to my house. ”

Grandma Wang didn't ask more, raised the bag in her hand and pointed in the direction of her home.

He Mu did not refuse, and now that the relationship between Yu Chao and Yu Chao is completely severed, I am afraid that the only person in this world who is still close to him is Grandma Wang.

"I'll take it for you. ”

"I forgot that you're back in shape, can you hold it?"

"You can take it. ”

......

It's late in the evening.

He Mu sat at the dining table at Grandma Wang's house, looking at the steaming meals on the table, and his heart was heavy.

He didn't know what to say about his brother.

Grandma Wang goes home for two days a month, and when she goes out tomorrow, as long as she meets someone from the military community, it is estimated that someone will tell her the news.

After all, her brother is almost brought up by her, which is well known in the community.

When this happens, no one can talk to her.

"Xiao Mu, do you have something on your mind? What do you tell grandma, grandma has lived most of her life, and some things are more or less transparent than you. ”

Grandma Wang smiled kindly, and sandwiched a piece of braised pork between words.

He Mu raised his head when he heard this, although the old man in front of him was in his seventies, his body and bones were very good, and his brain was also very good, instead of waiting for others to tell her the bad news tomorrow, she would come over and ask herself, it would be better for her to say it herself now.

Thinking of this, He Mu pondered for a few seconds, and then said softly: "My brother is ......"

Call......

"He's gone. ”

In just one sentence, He Mu felt extremely depressed after saying it.

The room fell silent for a moment.

He could see clearly, Grandma Wang's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

After a long time, Grandma Wang put down her chopsticks, her eyes dimmed, and at this moment, she seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Xiao Mu, since my eldest son left, whether it is my second son or He Feng, they have called me every half a month over the years.

Even if you can't say a few words, you can just say goodbye.

Actually, since He Feng didn't call me, and I couldn't get through to him, I had a hunch......"

Grandma Wang was calmer than He Mu imagined, although there was a thick sadness on her face, but at least there were no old tears.

"You know what? Since the day my two sons' father joined the army decades ago, my heart has been carrying this every day, and it has never fallen, from worrying about him to worrying about my two sons, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Every day I fear that I will receive news that they have died in battle.

I rehearsed that situation in my mind many times, and even often had similar nightmares, and every time I would wake up crying from the dream. ”

He Mu lowered his head and was silent.

Maybe this is the difficulty of being in this era, whether you are on the front line or in the rear, there is something that binds you, torments you, and makes you unable to be at peace.

"Later, I got used to it and figured it out, after all, I'm an ordinary old woman, what can I do if I'm worried?

What I can do is nothing more than to cooperate with the country, take care of those orphans who are lonely and helpless, and let those people on the front line have less worries when they fight.

If we humans really have a day of victory, then as long as I do my part, I can more or less make the day of victory come a little earlier, so that those on the front line can return home a little earlier......"

......

Grandma Wang said slowly, He Mu listened carefully, but her mood became heavier and heavier.

At this moment, he realized that the war with monsters was not only the soldiers and the Red Mist warriors who were paying and fighting.

There are many more ordinary people like Grandma Wang, who do ordinary, even very inconspicuous things.

But in their hearts, they are like soldiers on the front line, doing these ordinary things with a war mentality.

It's really a war in which the whole of humanity is involved.

The front line is a fierce and brutal battle, and the rear is a silent battle that moistens things.

No one is immune to the shadow of war and the fear it brings.

That's the terrible thing about war.

After being silent for a long time, He Mu said softly: "There will be a day, I promise that one day, you will see the people on the front line return to their hometowns with your own eyes." ”

......

Meanwhile, at the door of the Red Mist Bar.

A long-haired man touched his shriveled trouser pocket, hesitating to enter.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of the smell of alcohol inside, and cautiously entered the bar.

Originally, he wanted to see if there was any table where the people had left, and the wine had not been finished yet, so that he could rub it, but as soon as he entered, he met the big fat middle-aged man behind the bar.

Li ...... Li Da: Oh...... No, no, no, Brother Li!"

With a low snort, the long-haired man came to the bar with a lunge.

"Brother Li, do you remember me? I'm your neighbor's Xiaoling!"

The long-haired man brushed his hair open, revealing a decadent face,

"Xiao Ling?"

Li Da was originally drinking, but when he heard this, he looked at the long-haired man's face again, and he was so shocked that he almost didn't spit out the wine.

"Ling Hanxing, is it really you?"

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the person in his impression was somewhat similar between his eyebrows and eyes, Li Dazhen couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the neighbor's child at the beginning.

You must know that Ling Hanxing was a high-achieving student and handsome, and because of this, there were often girls passing by at the door of his house.

But now the person in front of him is sloppy and sloppy, with his trouser pockets rolled up, where can he still get in touch with the person back then.

"I said, how did you get into this hanging?"

Li Da scolded with some hatred.

Since Ling Hanxing went to college more than ten years ago, he had never heard of this person again, and he didn't expect goodbye to be like this.

The long-haired man smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Li, what are you talking about? I actually mixed it well, but I forgot to bring my bag when I went back to Nancheng, I didn't bring my card, mobile phone ID or anything, and the cash I carried with me was only enough to buy a mobile phone. ”

Li Da's face softened slightly when he heard this, and seeing that Ling Hanxing kept looking at the wine on the bar, he shook his head and took out another bottle from behind the bar and put it in front of Ling Hanxing.

"Please, tell me, where are you now?"

"I've been a university teacher since I left school, have you heard of East China University?"

"Top 10 prestigious schools, where are you a teacher?"

Li Da couldn't believe it.

The teachers of the famous schools are all strong, but Ling Hanxing in front of him seems to have nothing to do with the strong at all.

Not to mention that he is only about thirty years old, and there are very few people who can be a teacher in a famous school at this age.

"Well, I've been there for a few years, but the headmaster there isn't a thing, and one day I was sleeping in a daze, and the old guy gave me time to get my hair done, saying that I wasn't worthy of being a teacher.

I replied, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

As a result, he was beaten up and fired on the spot, do you say fuck up or not?"

Ling Hanxing said as he flicked the cap of the wine bottle with a flick of his hand, and then took a sip lightly.

"Of course, I'm still a university teacher, I'm back in Lingzhou City, I've traveled a lot of places over the years, and Lingzhou is still the most suitable for me. ”

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Ling Hanxing's eyes as he spoke, and his tone was slightly stunned.

"You're coming back from Lingzhou City, and you're still a university teacher?"

Li Da thought of something, and his voice suddenly increased a little.

"That's right, Brother Li, can I still lie to you?"

As he spoke, Ling Hanxing took out his mobile phone and found a photo of himself on a university website.

There is a short description below the photo.

"Deputy Director of the Excavator Department of Lingzhou Vocational University, Ling Hanxing. ”

Oh, hey, he's not only a teacher, but also a director.
