The yard was very run down.
Several broken wooden boards were put together to form a side room for storage. One-third of the tiles on the eaves of the west house were broken, and there were a few stubborn bunches of withered grass in the middle. The heavy wooden barrel is placed under the clothes drying rack made of bamboo poles. On the other side are several bundles of dry firewood. The pepper strings hanging on the door beam are the only bright colors here.
There is a big stone in the middle of the courtyard, which looks quite unsightly, like the gossip that stands between Chen Xiaozui and Meng Fangliao, the father who is as old as Zenda.
The main room was unlocked and the door was ajar.
Lin Yue opened the door and took a look inside. Compared to the messy yard, the situation here was better. There was a vase on the table facing the yard. Although there were no flowers in it, there were some vermicelli powder falling next to it. It must have been cleaned before.
There is a kerosene lamp on the table in the bedroom. There is a half bottle of wine on the other side of the kerosene lamp. There is a chicken feather blanket hanging on the wall and a picture frame. The man inside is somewhat similar to Meng Fanliao.
In the morning, it was here that Meng Fanlie deceived Chen Xiaozui's trust and care, and also took away the six yuan that the girl had saved by selling herself. Thinking about the plot that happened later, it was called love between two people. It was not like that. It's not love, but it goes beyond friendship. It's a bit complicated anyway.
Chen Xiaozui fell in love with Meng Fan, and anything he did in front of him was wrong.
Zhang Lixian liked Chen Xiaozui and lost all the dignity a warrior should have in front of her.
Lin Yue couldn't figure out this triangle relationship. Maybe Wang Heng could tell him what it felt like to be a dog licker.
He sat in the living room for a while, took out 6 oceans and put them on the round table. He also left the soap and a piece of pork in his pocket. He took out the Parker pen he snatched from the quartermaster and wrote a few words on the booklet. Later, I thought that Chen Xiaozui might not be able to read, so I crossed them out again.
He painted three paintings.
The first painting is a scene of a man taking money from a drawer.
The second painting is of the man slapping himself in the face.
The third painting shows the man bowing and saying thanks.
Because he had practiced painting for a while with Lin Xi in the world of "Chasing the Dragon", he was still very satisfied with these three paintings.
After doing this, he left the north room and went out the same way he came in. Unexpectedly, he heard a shout from the slope just as he jumped off the wall.
"Who are you?"
Turning his face, he saw Chen Xiaozui walking over with a wash basin.
Lin Yue frowned, turned around and ran away, leaving the alley in a few leaps.
Leaving Chanda City, he headed to Jiqi Slope and walked straight down the river. When he arrived at the place where the water seemed to be the most turbulent, it was the waterway across the river. However, he did not stop here and went further. .
…
It wasn't until the stars were in the sky and the moonlight filled the sky that he returned to the shelter in his wet military uniform.
Bu La, Yao Ma and others had already gone to bed after eating and drinking. Mi Long was sitting on the steps of the west wing, eating melon seeds under a kerosene lamp, with a pile of melon seed peels lying beside him.
"Look at your virtue, are you going to do it?"
"I swam in the Nu River for a while."
Mi Long glanced sideways at him while eating melon seeds: "You ate too much meat during the day and got burned, didn't you?"
Lin Yue threw him a few fruits and then took off his wet clothes to cool on the hemp rope where Veterinary Hao was drying his bandages.
There was an extreme shortage of medicines in the reception center. Even the bandages used by wounded soldiers were washed and used until they were rotten into a ball and then thrown away.
Milong looked at the unattractive wild fruit in his hand: "Where did it come from?"
"Picked from the woods under Nantianmen."
"Okay, if you continue like this, you will almost become a monkey. Go to heaven and go to the ground below. Let's see what you can do."
This guy picked one up and took a bite.
After taking a breath, he heard a pop and all the pulp he had eaten was spat out.
"What the hell is this? It's sour, but it's also for human consumption?"
Lin Yue said: "You've spent a few months in Zenda for nothing. This is called Duoyi Guo. Mix it with some sugar and it's sour and sweet. It's very refreshing."
"You told me earlier, take it." Mi Long put the bowl of melon seeds into Lin Yue's hand, took a few fruits and went into the warehouse. After a while, he came out with a small tin can.
"It's sour and refreshing, and it's refreshing."
Lin Yue picked up a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth. He glanced at Vet Hao who was lying near the door. The old man was sleeping soundly.
"Why don't you go to bed so late and sit at the door?"
"It's hot in the house and I can't sleep. Come out and cool down."
"I think it's boring." Lin Yue said, "You really don't want to go to Myanmar with us?"
"Are you going to die?" Mi Long got angry when he mentioned this: "None of you are worthless."
"Actually, it's too late for you to go now. The roster should have been sent to Yu Xiaoqing."
"..."
"But, if you are willing to pay some price, maybe I can help you."
Milong looked at him and said, "What price?"
"Those goods in your warehouse."
"I knew you had bad intentions, you were just thinking about my stuff."
Lin Yue shrugged: "That's what I said, you can make your own decision whether it's okay or not."
Milong said: "You said you are going to Myanmar, what do you want to do with that thing?"
Lin Yue smiled and ignored him. He went into the room and found his bed and lay down. Within a minute, he fell asleep and snored slightly.
Milong sat under the eaves with a bowl and a jar, looking at the stars in the sky in silence. The kerosene lamp hanging on the door frame diffused the misty brilliance and cast a generous back on the ground.
The moans of the wounded came again from the next room, and the eyebrows of the old man sleeping near the door twitched.
…
A few days later.
The war in Myanmar was urgent, and the twenty-day training camp was shortened to ten days.
A wounded man looked blankly at the medicine jar on the table. They were unable to join the expedition due to physical reasons and could only continue to suffer in the dark and damp room.
"Left, left, left, left, right, left, let's go together, look ahead!"
The sound of military training came from outside the window.
He Shuguang stood on one side of the team with a riding whip, correcting the movements of the soldiers from time to time.
Milong sat in front of the door, eating melon seeds.
At this time, there was only a creak outside the door. When he was young, Lin Yue came from the moon cave door holding a torn rag to wipe the engine oil on his hands.
"You guys practice first." He Shuguang left those people behind and walked over: "How is it?"
"never mind."
"never mind?"
"The car is parked right at the door. If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself."
"Okay, you can actually repair cars."
Lin Yue smiled. He had never done this kind of work in the world of "If You Are the One", but in the 20 years in the world of "Chasing the Dragon", he encountered police cars breaking down more than a hundred times. Even if he was watching the whole process, he could see his experience. .
"Thanks."
"Don't just say thank you verbally, do something practical."
He Shuguang pushed up his glasses: "I heard someone say that your life as a child is more fulfilling than that of the guy who opened a black shop. What do you lack?"
