The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 585 The Day of the Cycle (23)

"Sergeant, there will be a plenary meeting in conference room 10 in [-] minutes, please go there on time."

"Okay, I see, thank you."

The little soldier who came to inform him saluted the officer in front of him, then closed the door with his hand and left.

At this time, the middle-aged sergeant was once again left alone in the office.

There are still four and ten minutes left for the meeting.

He sat silently on the chair, staring at the black and white photo frame placed on his right hand without blinking.

In the photo frame, a woman with a lady's hair is sitting on the threshold of the wooden house, looking at the camera with a toothless smile.

This is the only black and white photo left to him by his mother.

Back then, his father fought with the army and invaded the country where his biological mother lived under the banner of freedom and liberation.

During war, there will always be a large number of civilians who suffer first, especially women and young adults.

After a war that lasted for several years, there were many more children without fathers and mothers in that land, and countless old people who lost their children and were lonely and helpless.

Among them are many civilian women who have been abused by the enemy.

After being bullied by outsiders, they were unable to face their former relatives and fellow villagers, who also refused to accept them back home.

In the traditional culture of the local people, an unclean woman will be regarded as ominous no matter where she goes, and no man is willing to marry a woman who has been defiled by others.

Not so with his mother.

She should have hated the group of invaders in front of her like everyone else, but she, who was originally a kabuki, fell in love with her father, an officer, and willingly stayed by his side to bear children for him.

At that time, she, who was born beautiful and claimed to be the wife of an officer, was also the envy of many people.

At that time, everyone thought that if the invaders won, she would become a master with her man.

Even if the invading party is defeated, the man who lives with her will take her away to live abroad.

However, at that time, many local people, including his mother, did not know that his father had already married a wife and had children in his own country.

A gentle and beautiful local kabuki is nothing more than a life-changing item for that man when he is fighting boredom here.

Later, the war was over.

Not surprisingly, his father left the woman who gave birth to three children for him and returned to his country alone.

As soon as the war ended, those bad guys who "collaborated with the enemy" during the war were found out by their own countrymen, criticized, punished, and even beheaded.

Many women who were forced to serve the enemy soldiers during the war were stripped of their clothes and hair by their compatriots when they were driven by angry crowds, and they were forcibly dragged on the ground to parade in the street.

At that time, countless people watching this scene along the street spat and cursed at those vile and shameful women.

Many of them also lost their husbands, children, and many relatives in that war of aggression.

Compared with the group of women who were dragged on the ground and paraded, the only difference was that the former had not been raped by the enemy.

They should be blaming those who started the war, those who were warlike and those who killed, but the real object of their anger is their own compatriots who have suffered with them.

The nature of human beings to bully the weak and fear the strong is so deeply engraved in their bones that many tragedies of the same nature will always be staged in different forms again and again.

At that time, as a young man, he did not witness the scene where his mother was dragged into the street and her hair was hanged in a parade.

Because as early as the end of the war, his mother hid him and his younger siblings in the basement of an old house.

He couldn't remember how long he and his younger siblings had been in that dark basement.

Now, he could only vaguely remember that when his mother came to pick him up that day, she looked more embarrassed than ever before, completely losing the cleanliness and elegance of the past, like a rose that had been broken in the wind and rain.

After seeing her three children, the young mother who fell to the bottom of her life stepped forward to hug her children and cried for a long time.

After that day, he never saw his mother cry again.

As time went by, the mother's children grew up and each had their own families and careers.

He himself set foot on the land of his biological father's country when he was young, and embarked on a military journey, trying to find the man who abandoned his mother and three children in the past.

It's a pity that he spent about ten years searching, but still found nothing.

Until one day, he accidentally ran into Qiu Sweater, who was dealing with an inheritance dispute at the time, and learned from the latter that the person he had been looking for all along—he was dead.

And his legal wife is fighting a lawsuit to the death over the children he left behind and the inheritance he left behind.

After learning about this person's life, he really felt a sense of relief. The haze that had weighed on his heart in the past also drifted away with that person's death.

Before he knew it, he stared at his mother's photo and saw the middle-aged officer in a daze. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

He was suddenly awakened, and turned his head to look at a small clock on the table.

Seeing that the hour hand on it was about to point to six o'clock, he realized that it was time for the meeting.

So he stood up immediately, arranged his clothes, and walked towards the door.

At the same time, Lin Shu, who was still staying in the hotel room, saw the clouds in the distant sky through the window glass.

This is the glow before sunset. It looks like the clouds are thick, as if it reveals a deep sense of exhaustion.

Lin Shu looked down at the crowd on the street.

This time point is when many people go home from get off work, or go to a restaurant for a date and dinner, and there are many pedestrians on the road.

Standing by the window, Lin Shu tried to recall the approximate time when the explosion occurred on the first day.

In this season, the night in Bashi is relatively late, that is, when the sky starts to darken, it is about 06:30.

At seven o'clock, the sky was almost dark, but it was not that deep darkness, and there was still some light left in the air.

If she set off at this time and headed to the abandoned neighborhood she visited on the first day, she would definitely be there before 06:30.

In this way, she might be able to see how the sudden explosion happened.

　　I am very happy that there are some book friends who can leave their own comments in the message area. Thank you for sharing here.

　　Although modern information access channels will reversely control people's cognition to a certain extent, I still want to believe that the truth will always become clearer and clearer.

　　In this world, there are still many principles worthy of our adherence and protection.

　　And what really determines who each of us is is not those things on the outside, but what is inside each person.Be it behavioral habits or ways of thinking, these are all things within us.

　　Therefore, I hope and expect that those who are truly kind-hearted will be treated with tenderness by this world.
