Before arriving in the city, he had to stay in a guest house for one night. Lao Jian ignored him and allowed Han Qingyu to take advantage of the last moment to go shopping, eat and go to the photo studio with his parents.
The next day, there was a scene of farewell for new recruits.
Just like what Han Qingyu had seen on TV and dreamed of as a child, banners, crowds, red flowers, new clothes...
"This is my first time traveling far away. I don't understand many things. Please take care of me, brother." In the crowded farewell crowd, the simple father Han repeated the same words over and over again.
Mother Han stood in front of her son who was wearing a new military uniform, adjusting his collar, lifting his shoulders, and straightening the red flowers, over and over again.
"Mom, don't worry. I will work hard and be obedient when I go."
"Hey, Mom knows."
Mother Han lowered her head to wipe her eyes, raised her head and smiled again.
The recruits lined up.
Han Qingyu inadvertently turned his head and discovered that Wen Jifei was also there, standing in another queue not far away, waving to him.
His parents were also here. It seemed a little awkward and uncomfortable for the two people who had been separated for many years to stand together again, but there was not much emotion about parting.
After a while, the people from the army began to roll call, and the people who were called answered "here" and got up to the car accordingly.
Wen Jifei got on the bus, and the number of recruits on the platform continued to decrease.
No one sang Han Qingyu's name.
Lao Jian silently walked over from the side, put her arm around his shoulders, and said like a familiar old brother: "Let's go, let's get in the car."
Just the two of them.
However, an accident happened on the way. Lao Jian met an acquaintance of his from back then. He was a government cadre who had been transferred here for training. He also came to see him off today.
When the other party saw that he had not actually gone abroad, but had become an officer, he was immediately surprised and enthusiastically stepped forward to ask questions.
"In this case, you go there first. If someone stops you in Car No. 14, just say my name to them... I'll deal with it first."
Lao Jian gave Han Qingyu an explanation, then turned around and went up to tell his old friend. This is probably Han Qingyu's future life.
Car No. 14 is also an ordinary car. The only difference is that there are fewer people.
When Han Qingyu came in, no one stopped him. As he was looking for a seat to sit down, four or five people looked up at him, but none of them spoke.
In fact, there are less than ten people in the entire carriage, and everyone is sitting alone, regardless of whether the expression on their faces is excitement, excitement, worry, or sadness...
Han Qingyu even saw someone trembling and sobbing on their seats.
Gu Zi found a seat by the window and sat down. Han Qingyu looked for his parents through the car window in the crowd. When he found them, he found that his parents were also tiptoeing and turning, looking for him in each carriage.
Saw each other.
Wave to each other.
We try to make each other feel at ease, so our eyes are red and we try to smile.
Until the train started moving slowly, the distant figures of my parents kept waving and waving on the platform.
Fortunately, the train has a long curve, so the figures of my parents on the platform disappear slowly.
But finally, it disappeared from sight.
Han Qingyu finally no longer had to hold back his tears.
Out of sight, he still maintained his posture and looked out the car window, tears flowing down silently.
"You can't bear to part with it, right? Sigh... don't cry. It's not like you're going to the battlefield if you go."
A voice suddenly said from behind his chair.
Han Qingyu was stunned. He didn't even need to turn his head, because this voice... was so familiar to him.
Auditory hallucinations? Han Qingyu turned around, "You, why are you here?!"
"I came in after you," Wen Jifei said matter-of-factly, "I just saw that you were in a mood, so I couldn't bear to disturb you."
Han Qingyu's mind was full of confusion and he didn't speak.
"We can't sit there, so why don't I show my style and come out to stand at the connection. Then I happened to see you and asked to come over and say hello... By the way, why is your place so empty?"
As Wen Jifei continued to explain, he waved hello to the people in the carriage.
"You are also from the Blue Alliance, right?" One of them responded excitedly.
"Ah? What?" Wen Jifei was confused.
Han Qingyu woke up.
"Let's go... let's go!"
He stood up suddenly, grabbed Wen Jifei by the collar, and dragged him toward the carriage door, intending to throw him out.
Lao Jian appeared there, lowered his head and entered the door. When he raised his head again, he was stunned for a moment, and then... he started laughing.
A soldier who didn't know when he appeared at the rear of the carriage looked guilty and uneasy. He walked over and whispered a few words in Lao Jian's ear.
After hearing this, Lao Jian turned around, looked at Jiang Che, and then at Wen Jifei, who was being pinned behind him.
"Hello, Chief." Wen Jifei struggled and said hello to Lao Jian.
"Hello, little comrade, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Lao Jian smiled very kindly, but in Han Qingyu's eyes, he was like a devil.
Wen Jifei was silly and happy, "Yes, it seems that I have a destiny with you, Chief..."
Han Qingyu: "Shut up."
This sound finally stopped Wen Jifei from drinking. After drinking until he was confused, Han Qingyu ran to Lao Jian and almost begged: "He didn't hear anything. Really, he just..."
"Really?" Lao Jian whispered: "But he is here, and my people told me that he just heard the words "Blue Alliance Army."
"your people……"
"He was negligent and derelict in his duties, but that's another issue, let's leave it aside for now."
"Then, he is a plague chicken." Han Qingyu lowered his head and thought hard, then raised his head and said seriously: "It's okay. With his IQ, he can't understand it. He only got 230 after repeating the college entrance examination."
Lao Jian: "..."
Han Qingyu: "Really, he won't doubt anything..."
At this moment, Wen Jifei's voice sounded from behind, "Chief, what is the Blue Alliance Army? Are you a secret force?"
Lao Jian didn't answer, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Han Qingyu.
Han Qingyu still didn't give up, "It's okay, he..."
"It's okay, stop struggling." Lao Jian said calmly. At this moment, he turned back into the evil man in Fenglong'ao forest.
"But it's useless if you recruit him, he's just an idiot." Han Qingyu was anxious and pointed back with his hand while speaking. This is what he meant. Can't you tell? !
"What are you talking about?! Qingzi." Of course Wen Jifei is not an idiot. He just doesn't know enough and thinks that the Blue Alliance must be some secret special forces. Han Qingyu is worried that he will be in danger if he goes there. "Chief, don't listen to him. I Not afraid of danger. I am naturally strong and brave, good at sports...good eyesight...enthusiastic and optimistic."
"I can see that you are enthusiastic and optimistic. This is very important." Lao Jian glanced over and asked, "Do you have your luggage with you?"
"I have it with me." Wen Jifei turned around happily and showed off his backpack.
Lao Jian: "Okay, then you can sit down here."
Wen Jifei sat down nearby, but quickly stood up again, a little uneasy and disbelieving and said: "Commander, my troops over there..."
Lao Jian: "It's okay. Our unit has a high level. I'll just find someone to get a transfer order for you. You don't need to worry about it. Just sit there peacefully."
"Wow~" Wen Jifei sat down with peace of mind, straightened his military uniform, and seemed to immediately feel a sense of pride.
"Our army is really awesome, Qingzi," he said.
Han Qingyu remained calm and silent.
"Don't bother," Wen Jifei touched his arm and whispered, "It's not just the special forces, scouts or something like that, I can guess... It's a bit dangerous, but it's better for us brothers to be together than you alone. Right? Besides, we’re not going to fight now, so what are we afraid of?”
Han Qingyu still ignored him, although some part of what he said might make sense, but in this case, he would finally have someone to talk to in the thousands of miles ahead...
However, at this moment, Han Qingyu didn't want anyone to talk to.
Lao Jian went out from the other side of the carriage, probably to get orders for Wen Jifei.
Han Qingyu followed reluctantly.
The soldier standing at the rear of the carriage rushed over to stop him.
Lao Jian turned around and signaled for release.
The train moved forward sonorously on the rails. In the empty carriage junction, Lao Jian lit a cigarette and turned to look at Han Qingyu.
"He knows that you go to the special forces, knows me, knows the Blue Alliance, and knows most of the people in this carriage. That's all... there's nothing he can do about it."
The first thing he said.
"We will punish soldiers who neglect their duties, but this matter is already a fait accompli. I hope you won't embarrass me again." The second sentence.
In the third sentence he said:
"Actually, from the moment you get on this train, life and death are issues you have to face and think about every day.
In matters of life and death, it is a blessing to have your best friend by your side.
Moreover, our team actually needs a blind, enthusiastic and optimistic person like him. It should be said that he is very needed.
There is a gangsterism in you that you probably don't even know about...and there is life in him, much more than the average person. "
He finished speaking. His words were not serious from beginning to end, and his attitude was even gentle, but his attitude was inexplicably sincere and determined, making it impossible for people to refute or struggle.
Han Qingyu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.
By the time he returned to the carriage, Wen Jifei had already changed positions and was chatting with the Azure Alliance soldier who had made a mistake.
I didn't hear clearly what he said.
Anyway, I saw the soldier smiling.
Therefore, Han Qingyu didn't know what the gangster spirit that Lao Jian said about him was, but he roughly knew that the so-called anger that Wen Jifei possessed was beyond ordinary people. It should be a kind of "frequently seeking death without knowing it at all" unique flavor.
"Back? Qingzi." Seeing Han Qingyu, Wen Jifei looked a little uneasy and said flatteringly.
Han Qingyu smiled sadly and nodded, "Yes."
"Hey... just relax, isn't this good? Don't worry, I will still take care of things for you in the future."
The first reaction was to say "goodbye". Han Qingyu thought about it and said: "From now on, it will be me."
