"Xiao Liu, is this your hometown?"
Xiao Liu lay on the small piece of transparent glass and looked down, distinguishing it carefully, "It's not my hometown, but I have lived here for a long time, so it can be considered half of my hometown."
I sit in front and have a better perspective, and my eyesight has been opened up, so I can clearly observe the situation on the ground from such a high place. The houses here are all self-built houses with about two floors, and they look a bit dilapidated. But overall it is much more intact than the places where tall buildings once stood. From time to time there is still smoke rising from cooking stoves. Compared with the bitter cold places I have seen along the way, this place can be called a paradise.
"What is this place?"
"Peach Blossom Island."
"Isn't this the place where Guo Jing and Huang Rong lived after they got married? Could it be that the person you are looking for is your sister Rong?" Ada joked carelessly, and I saw a flash on Xiao Liu's face. Feeling sad, he quickly changed the topic.
"Guo Jing Huang Rong..." Xiao Liu thought thoughtfully...
"Who are you talking about?" Chaoyang asked from the side.
"This little kid of yours was born too late. I've probably never seen it on TV. Of course, I don't know what we're talking about. We're talking about a couple in a novel by a literary giant from a hundred years ago."
"Hey, what's so good about children's love?" Chaoyang rolled his eyes disdainfully.
"You don't understand this. Jin Yong has indeed written many classic scenes of love between children, but the love between Guo Jing and Huang Rong is not those disgusting life-and-death plots. After they finally got married, they did not go back to the mountains and forests but chose to live in seclusion. Guarding Xiangyang City, the city gate was finally breached, and the two of them fought until the last moment and both died. This is not the love between sons and daughters, but the righteousness of the nation."
"It's a prophecy... it's a prophecy..." Xiao Liu murmured, "Let's park there. There used to be a tourist evacuation center there. We can park there."
Sure enough, I saw a large open space where Xiao Liu pointed. A corner of the so-called visitor center building he mentioned had collapsed, but the square in front was still usable.
It was already dark at this time. We all turned on the searchlights above our heads and looked at the surrounding environment. This place was some distance away from the self-built houses we had seen before. We didn’t see anyone. The plants were surprisingly lush. Even the gaps in the cement floor have clumps of grass growing up. This place is close to the seaside, and the evening breeze blows the humid and hot air, bringing with it a salty smell.
"Xiao Liu, look at which way we are going, can you recognize it?" A three-way intersection appeared in front of us, and Ada asked Xiao Liu to show us the way.
Xiao Liu pointed to the one on the left and walked in front, guiding us all. The temperature here is much higher than where we were before. Even if the sun sets, the heat wave does not diminish at all. My hair already looks like it has just been washed. The same thing happened, and all my clothes were stuck to my body.
"Yugiri, are your wounds okay?" In such a hot weather, we were wearing isolation suits to avoid radiation. I was very worried that Yugiri's wounds would become inflamed and infected.
"It's okay..." Xiwu's voice was weak.
"Maybe it's heat stroke..." Wen Na touched Xiwu's head with her hand, "It's so hot! Xiyuan, put Xiwu on your back quickly!"
"ah?"
"ah?!"
Xiwu and I were stunned when we heard this, "Well, my wound is on my stomach, I can't carry it..." Xiwu waved her hands repeatedly. I rarely see her so polite.
"Then hug me! You can't leave anymore, you need to rest. Xiyuan, hurry up!" Wen Na urged me. I was very tired myself, but when I thought that Xiwu might be more uncomfortable than me, I gritted my teeth. He hugged her sideways.
"Oh, you're really hot!" I said to Xiwu.
She bit her lip and tilted her head...
After walking for about twenty minutes, a light appeared in front of him. He should be there soon, but Xiao Liu stopped again...
"It's the second building in front... Can you... can you help me go and take a look? I'll be waiting here... I..." Xiao Liu held his hair tightly with both hands, his face His expression is very painful...
"Just help me knock on the door and take a look... please..."
"Uh, but we don't know if the person who opened the door is the person you mentioned..."
"Just ask Wang Junyan if he lives here... If not, just ask where Wang Junyan went and where he is now..."
Wen Na and Ada walked to the small building and knocked on the door. We were watching from a distance. I saw Wen Na and Ada talking to others at the door for a long time. I don’t know what they said. The person next to me Xiao Liu was even more nervous. He didn't realize it himself. His hand grabbed my shoulder and almost twisted it out of joint...
Seeing Wen Na and the others walking back, Xiao Liu couldn't wait to go up and ask, "How is she?"
"Well... the people who live in that building said that Wang Junyan hasn't lived here for a long time..."
"Then did they say where she went?!"
"Uh... the person who opened the door said she was Wang Junyan's niece, her aunt, who went to the front line when the war started... now..."
"how is it now?!"
"The man said that her aunt is still on the front line, and their battlefield is 40 kilometers away from the island."
"Huh..." Xiao Liu finally breathed a long sigh of relief...
"Then... let's go quickly?" Ada urged.
Forty minutes later, we followed the instructions and landed on the designated apron for frontline medical rescue supplies. We found a medical staff wearing protective clothing and asked him about Wang Junyan’s whereabouts. He was very busy and pointed us to two tents. He said that the medical soldiers and the wounded were all there and that we should go find them ourselves. This time, Xiao Liu did not flinch. As soon as the man finished speaking, he rushed towards the two tents.
We quickly followed him. When he saw people, he asked, "Do you know where Wang Junyan is?" But the people he met either had no time to pay attention to him or shook their heads. We followed him and helped him find Wang Junyan's whereabouts.
After searching the first tent, he even asked him to pull back the isolation mask to confirm the appearance of the wounded lying on the hospital bed, but to no avail.
"Isn't there another tent? It must be right here..." Ada said breathlessly. This veteran who has been stationed in the western desert is also very uncomfortable with the climate here.
The moment the tent curtain was opened, Xiao Liu froze on the spot, and his tears poured down. I followed his gaze and saw a woman sitting on the hospital bed. She was also wearing an isolation mask, with only one pair of eyes exposed. Those eyes were also red, with tears streaming down her face...
The two people just looked at each other in the air, surrounded by countless noisy sounds, but none of them seemed to have anything to do with them...
I have never had such an emotional experience, and I cannot empathize with them, but their emotions still infected me. When I looked at Xiwu and Wen Na next to me, my eyes became moist.
When old friends meet again, they are separated by yin and yang. No matter what promises they have made, they can only be invalidated at the end of life. Life and separation are painful, and death is also painful.
Is it worth it or not to travel more than 4,000 kilometers and give up my body just to go to this last place? I have no idea...
The woman wanted to stand up, and then I saw that her skin was completely wrapped in gauze, with some blood mixed with pus oozing out. Xiao Liu was crying so hard that he couldn't stand up, and we almost helped him to the woman's side...
"Why are you here..." The woman finally let go of her throat and cried loudly, as if she had been able to vent her grievances and sorrows that she had accumulated for a long time. But when her hand touched Xiao Liu, she found that Different.
"This... this is... why are you like this!"
Xiao Liu couldn't say a word... The woman turned her questioning eyes to us again. I didn't know how to say this question to her, or how to express it...
"I don't have much time...I'm here to see you for the last time..." Xiao Liu gently stroked the woman's face, wanting to take off her isolation mask and take a good look at what he was thinking about day and night. people...
But the woman held down his hand... "Don't take it off... I beg you..."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Liu ignored the woman's obstruction and took off her mask. The face under the mask showed ulcerated skin after being irradiated... The woman covered the scars on her face... and cried sadly. with...
"I thought I would never see you again..."
