chaotic world

He Si was finally called into the house by the orderly, shaking off the snow all over his body, he walked through the living room and went directly into the dining room, Zhou Lan was sitting at the table, and the orderly had just reheated the dishes and brought them back.

Zhou Lan glanced at him, but said nothing.

Apart from the cloak, hat and white gloves, He Si turned and went to the outside to wash his hands. When he came back, he dismissed the orderlies, and naturally came to the dining table, filled a bowl of hot soup, and placed it next to Zhou Lan.

"Drink some hot soup before eating, it will make your stomach feel better," he said.

Zhou Lan was holding the rice, holding the chopsticks, chewing the food in his mouth, and looked up at him.He Si packed up his work and looked back at him indifferently.

Zhou Lan chewed more and more slowly, and finally put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said slowly, "Is it cured?"

He Si nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Lan asked again: "What about the injury?"

He Si didn't hesitate: "Alright."

Zhou Lan thought to herself, it's no wonder if you get better, you will be hurt for a hundred days, just hold on.But he just nodded: "Okay, that's fine."

"Let's add some more." He Si picked up Zhou Lan's bowl calmly, and added some rice to it, "I didn't eat at noon, but if I eat this, I won't be able to eat it at night, so eat more."

He acted like a normal person, and everything he said and did was normal.

But the atmosphere is so delicate, it is very normal to be very abnormal.

"How long have you been waiting outside?" Zhou Lan asked knowingly, "Why didn't you inform me?"

He originally thought that He Si would stiffen his neck and play some bureaucratic words, say some polite words such as not daring to disturb the head of the group, or directly show weakness, saying that the head of the group was wrong and I would never dare again.

As a result, He Si said two words without blushing, "I just came."

Zhou Lan snorted coldly in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface, and walked around very patiently: "Have you had lunch? Let's sit down together."

"Eat." He Si opened his eyes and said nonsense, but he sat next to Zhou Lan, and brought an empty bowl, not to fill himself with food, but picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, and carefully picked the fishbone, "You eat a piece of fish, you are too thin."

This is strange. Zhou Lan just wanted to throw his chopsticks when He Si said unhurriedly: "There are so many things in the regiment, you have to support them all by yourself. Your body is important."

The words before and after the words are very coherent, but also very out of tune.

Zhou Lan's hand stopped in mid-air, wondering whether he should fall or not.

Everything was peaceful, and no one mentioned the past. Uncle Dumb and Yun Hai went downstairs in the afternoon, and He Si greeted them as if we saw each other every day.

Du Yunhai loves to play and want to shoot targets. Originally, Zhou Lan didn't allow Du Yunhai to shoot, but in a blink of an eye, He Si led Du Yunhai to the backyard, and took the policeman from the security squad to teach him , made Zhou Lan very angry.

After returning, Zhou Lan finally settled the old and new accounts together, and scolded He Si with criticism.Du Yunhai quit, rushed up to hug his neck and waist, and pleaded with Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan forcibly turned off the fire before it started, and He Si remained respectful until midnight, not giving him a chance to revive.

He Si just haunted Zhou Lan's surroundings neither hot nor cold, neither far nor near, neither approaching deliberately nor staying away.

When Zhou Lan needs him, he will definitely be by his side. I don't know whether he has a good heart or a scheming plan. As soon as Zhou Lan feels that he has crossed the line, he retreats [-] steps away, looking business-like and extremely innocent.

But Zhou Lan didn't have the energy to think about what He Si was thinking. If it was in the past, he would definitely not be polite to He Si. No matter the other party's true feelings or lies, the feelings he doesn't need are superfluous.

But it's different now, people's words are good when they are about to die, Zhou Lan has given up his life, his time is running out, so He Si's life and death has nothing to do with him.What's more, He Si still has a little use value for him, especially the other party's feelings for him, he judges from the bottom of his heart, there is still some sincerity.

From the moment he jumped down from the second floor, He Si used his body as a shield for him. People made money and birds died for food. There are many people who want to please him, but they have to live to enjoy it.

He didn't know when He Si moved his mind, but looking back on the past, He Si and Jin Xiaoman had indeed been by his side from the beginning of Black Eagle Mountain. After thinking about it, Jin Xiaoman was actually closer to Du Yunfeng, and He Si was actually closer to Du Yunfeng. But always pay attention to him.

He Si still coughed a bit, but Zhou Lan couldn't wait to send him a job. At the goldsmith's shop in Fengtian City, Zhou Lan bought gold bars in the name of different people, and someone had to come forward to collect them.

This person is He Si.

He Si doesn't ask why. He will never ask Zhou Lan why on very critical issues. He only executes. This is also an important reason why he can exist by Zhou Lan's side until now.

This time was no exception. He was more cautious than Zhou Lan thought. He secretly collected gold bars, and even melted the gold and silver jewelry and gold wares obtained through various channels, turning them into golden hard currency.

Zhou Lan was very satisfied. He Si didn't ask for credit, but just left early and returned late to manage this matter.

A few days later, an unexpected thing happened.

That day, He Si went to a small shop with limited stock, so there was no need to report any hope, but He Si could feel that Zhou Lan was making a big move this time and needed a lot of hard currency, so he even bought this small shop. Also refused to let go.

In order not to cause panic and skyrocket the price of gold, he used military tickets to buy gold without lowering the price.

Although this store is inconspicuous, it makes a lot of money. It not only sells jewelry, but also sells pawns.When He Si was bidding to buy the bottom of the goods in this shop, the owner of the watch shop next door ran up, holding something in his hand, and asked if gemstones were more valuable than gold.

"That's hard to say. Judging by the size and bald head, less than five centimeters is about the same as glass slag." The owner of the goldsmith shop waved his hand. He was wearing a round leather hat. When he spoke, a big black spot on his cheek The body moved accordingly, and there was still a handful of fine hairs trembling on it.

He Si was too lazy to look at him, so he urged him to order the goods quickly, and he had no time to delay with him.

He Si was wearing casual clothes and didn't want to make too much noise, otherwise the boss would be so scared that he would kneel down and do his business.

The security regiment is as domineering as the Japanese in Fengtian City.

Although he was very forbearing, the boss still felt that He Si was suppressing his guts, and decided that he was not a man to mess with, so he quickly took out a bunch of keys to open the door of the cabinet on the third floor from the left, which was his. Valuable possessions.

The owner of the watch shop wanted to wait for the business to be completed before discussing with the goldsmith owner. He waited aside, fiddling with the gadgets in his hand.

He Si glanced at the thing in his hand inadvertently, and the hairs on his back immediately stood up.

He knew that thing, it was a pocket watch with a gold case, a rare high-end item on the market - it was Du Yunfeng's pocket watch.

Stepping forward, he snatched the pocket watch from the man.The owner of the watch shop thought he was going to grab it, so he immediately grabbed it with him not to be outdone.

He Si held the pocket watch in one hand, and pinched the wrist of the owner of the watch shop with the other hand. Pushing and twisting, he pressed the other person on the wooden table. He said in a stern voice, "Where did you get the pocket watch?"

"Ah!" The owner of the watch shop yelled in pain, "Arm, arm is broken!"

He Si put the pocket watch into his pocket, and at the same time took out the penis on his back waist. He put the gun on the opponent's temple, tilted his head and looked at the opponent: "I'll ask you one last time!"

Now even the owner of the goldsmith's shop was honest, a large bunch of keys fell to the ground with a clatter, and he shivered on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Grandpa...this master," the owner of the watch shop suddenly recognized the situation, and said something like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that he had received this pocket watch from another pawn shop. He knew that such a good watch usually had a diamond movement, not only the gold case was valuable, but he would trot to the small gold shop as soon as he got the goods. I want to take this watch apart and sell it for a good price.

He Si saw that this person was also a small businessman, so he would not panic, so he closed his gun and pushed the other party away, and then asked the other party how much the watch was worth, and he only gave the other party more or less.

Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten: "Just pretend you have never seen this watch before. If I hear someone mention it, not only you will die, but I will kill your whole family."

The two small businessmen were paralyzed with fright, and the military tickets were scattered all over the ground, and they didn't dare to pick them up.

He Si carried this pocket watch in his bosom, and stayed up until late at night when everyone was resting before he dared to take it out to look. He had his own single room in the security squad, and he usually slept with the door open, but today it was locked tightly. Strictly.

With a small light on, he took it out and looked at it carefully.That's right, it's the big brother's watch, the case and movement have been broken, and the trace of a bullet passing through has to be very close to penetrate the metal object.

Pry open the deformed watch case, inside is the time that has stopped beating and a damaged photo. The photo is Du Yunfeng, and the other should be Zhou Lan. The face on the photo happens to be a bullet hole and has been destroyed.

He Simeng took the pocket watch into his hand, clenched it tightly, his fingers were blue, trembling imperceptibly.

He realized that Du Yunfeng's shot was not fatal.

Someone pawned this thing at a pawnshop, which means that Du Yunfeng may still be alive.

Moreover, the most crucial side evidence is that Du Yunfeng's body has never been found.

The next day, he still did what he should do, so he didn't want to tell Zhou Lan the truth.

The elder brother wanted to rebel on his own, he gave up on Zhou Lan himself, He Si thought coldly, I didn’t fight with you, but I won’t give it to you either, you don’t know how to cherish such a good thing, it’s your turn when the opportunity comes me.

He followed Zhou Lan closely, and the other party would never have the chance to know the truth.

A few days later, He Si personally sent an email to Zhou Lan. This email was the same as last time, with a recipient but no sender.He knew that Zhou Lan must know who sent it by mail, so he didn't make a fuss and sent it to Zhou Lan's study in the evening.

Locking the study door back, Zhou Lan raised her head in surprise amidst the sound of the lock being locked.

Since the last incident, the two have never stayed alone in a particularly confined space. He Si tried his best to avoid this from happening, because he knew that the other party didn't like it.

But seeing the paper bag in He Si's hand clearly, Zhou Lan realized whose letter it was.

He was even a little apprehensive, what kind of news would Papa Tang bring him?

He Si drew the curtains, found a paper knife and carefully cut open the envelope. Inside was a dozen old newspapers, which had turned yellow and were very old.

Finding ink, He Si painted the inside of the envelope, but there was not a single wax letter. He was not reconciled, so he painted the front side again, but there was still nothing, and finally showed it to Zhou Lan in confusion.

He was very close to Zhou Lan, but Zhou Lan didn't hide.

Maybe he didn't realize it, maybe he realized it but felt that there was no need to avoid it. After all, he kept him by his side because he trusted him. Taking a step back, after the two of them tore off the window paper, at least Zhou Lan didn't feel special. disgust him.

Thinking of this, he was faintly happy.

There were more than a dozen newspapers in that dozen of newspapers. He and Zhou Lan searched carefully, but found no subtle marks. As a result, He Si just intuitively picked out a report related to the Japanese, which seemed suspicious.

He spread out the newspaper for Zhou Lan to read.

The two were almost lying on the desk, reading each word under the lamp, for fear of missing important information.

It turned out that this was a Beiping Daily published in the fourth year of the Republic of China. The major news on the front page was that the students had attacked the Japanese embassy in China, causing personnel and economic losses. The scene was very chaotic. The ambassador’s car was overturned. The ambassador was not in the car at the time, and many diplomatic personnel who were in the embassy were shocked. One of the military attache's sons, who was under one year old, disappeared amidst the crowd.

The report was very long, and the two looked at the content carefully.These old things seemed to have nothing to do with them. He Si didn't realize that there was anything wrong, but he found that Zhou Lan's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Leader," He Si caught a glimpse of his expression and became nervous, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Lan ignored him and read the article over and over again. He had a bad feeling.

After reading the text several times, the content was limited and he could not confirm his conjecture.He looked at the same version of the photo.

Suddenly, he stared at the photo, eyes full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "No! No!"

He Si had never seen Zhou Lan lose his composure like this before.

Zhou Lan's hands were shaking so much that he could not hold the newspaper steadily, his face was pale, he muttered to himself in a low voice, and finally buried his head in his arms.

He Si hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to lightly press Zhou Lan's shoulder. After touching it, he realized that Zhou Lan's body was shaking like chaff.

"Leader," he felt fear in his heart, what could make Zhou Lan so frightened?I have never seen him so helpless. If there is something Zhou Lan can't handle, wouldn't it be a catastrophe?

He tentatively grabbed Zhou Lan's shoulders, trying to straighten him, but Zhou Lan's whole body convulsed, forming a ball, as if trying to shrink himself to the smallest size to protect himself.

He Si distractedly thought of the little hedgehog in the forest, covered in thorns all over, perfectly protecting himself, and no one could get close to him.

Even though it is full of thorns, the belly is soft.

No matter how he called, Zhou Lan ignored him, and completely entered his own world in fear and pain.

"How can it be?"

"impossible."

"Will not!"

"What can I do?"

Zhou Lan whispered repeatedly, illogically, these words trapped him in the center of the web like spider threads criss-crossing the latitude and longitude, and he plunged in without warning, struggling more and more painfully, binding himself so tightly that he could not break free.

He Si couldn't figure out what was going on, and he couldn't ask others for help.He thought for a long time before making a big decision. He knelt down in front of the stool and pulled Zhou Lan into his arms.

He didn't say anything, just hugged the other party lightly, patted the back comfortingly, and left a nerve for Zhou Lan, in case he suddenly came to his senses, he would give him another comforting foot.

Gradually, Zhou Lan calmed down, raised his head, and stood up straight from He Si's arms.

He Si let go of him vigilantly, only to see that the other party's eyes were red, but it didn't look like she was crying.

He Si was very surprised.

"I'm fine," Zhou Lan got rid of him, and his voice regained his composure. He didn't look at He Si, but looked at the void, and said without emotion, "Let me think alone." After finishing speaking, he leaned back on the Sitting on the chair, I closed my eyes.

He Si stared at him intently, seeing a trace of despair in the eyes that were about to close.

After hesitating for a moment, He Si decided to go out.It is useless for him to stay here until he understands the situation, and Zhou Lan is a master who turns his face when he says he will. He Si is not blindly optimistic about how bad he is with Zhou Lan.

He collected the newspaper lightly, and left the study.The heavy study door was slowly closed, leaving only the floor lamp on and Zhou Lan alone under the lamp.

He went back to the guard squad, skipped dinner, ordered no one to disturb him, turned on the small light, and began to study the newspaper again. There is a very familiar name, Imanobu Masaharu.

So here lies the problem.

He Si thought about it down the line, but ended up shivering.

In the fourth year of the Republic of China, Jinxin Yaqing lost his son who was under one year old.

And Zhou Lan is just 21 years old this year, judging from his age, there is a trace of hidden danger.

This bold assumption took him by surprise.

But there are two things that He Si can't figure out. Just because of age alone, there is such a possibility, but it doesn't mean that Zhou Lan and Jinxin are related by blood just because they are of the right age.Also, why does Zhou Lan look so scared?No matter how many times Zhou Lan survived the desperate situation, he was not afraid of being like this. He trembled as if a catastrophe was imminent, and there was no redemption.

He Si read the newspaper several times, and the large photos almost imprinted in his heart, but he still couldn't find an explanation.

He could only give up temporarily, put away the newspaper, and locked it in the cabinet.While locking it, he told himself that he had to keep this secret in his heart, Zhou Lan definitely didn't like him knowing so much.

But he has too many secrets, Zhou Lan's life experience, that pocket watch, these secrets weigh on his heart, he feels very heavy, and what is even heavier, he still has a secret that has already been said but has become a secret—— He still likes him, he still wants him.

In the middle of the night, he stood downstairs at the regiment headquarters, and saw that the light in the study room was still on. He entered the building lightly, and the servant on duty told him that Zhou Lan hadn't slept, that his chest was congested, and he ordered a bottle of strong Alcohol and sleeping pills, so no one is allowed to disturb him.

"Where did you get the medicine?" he asked.

"I only started eating it after the next year," the orderly answered honestly in a low voice, "Deputy Li Ban said it was... when he went to see you in the hospital, the director of the hospital took the initiative to prescribe it."

"I see." He Si sent the orderly to keep the other party on duty at night, and he went upstairs to have a look.

He Si felt that Zhou Lan should have taken the medicine long ago. After Du Yunfeng was gone, Zhou Lan was like a night owl, staying up all night and not complaining of being tired. The only thing left in a person's life is a pair of eyes that are still alive, and they are almost exhausted .

Going upstairs quietly, he came to the door of the bedroom. The door of the bedroom was ajar. He gently pushed it open, because the curtains were not drawn, and the light of the big moon outside was shining directly into the room, and there was no one on the big bed.

Turning around to go to the study, there is light under the door, but no one answers the knock.

Holding the copper handle and twisting it gently, the door is not locked.

Slowly pushing open the door, he saw Zhou Lan sitting on the carpet with his back leaning against the desk. His hair was messy, and the back of his head was completely messed up, covering his forehead and eyes.

Sitting leaning on all fours, if the back of the head was not supported by the writing desk, the whole thing would have fallen over.

He held the wine bottle in one hand, and there was not much left, and there were traces of the wine bottle on the carpet. He held Browning in the other hand, aiming wobbly in the direction of He Si.

He Si's heart trembled, and he stood still, not daring to act rashly.

"Who are you?" Zhou Lan asked in a dragging voice.

His thick hair blocked his eyes, and He Si couldn't see his eyes at all. The gun seemed too heavy and was on the verge of falling.

"It's me." He Si slowly raised his hands, showing his empty palms in surrender.

"Who?" Zhou Lan asked again.

A white paper bag on the ground has been torn open. He Si glanced at it and knew that the other party had taken medicine.

"Me!" He Si said softly. After finishing speaking, his knees softened and he knelt down. With his hands raised, he knelt slowly and walked in front of Zhou Lan, "It's me."

At such a close distance, he raised his hand and slowly pushed aside the gun in Zhou Lan's hand, and then pushed aside the opponent's hair. He could clearly see Zhou Lan's expression.

Zhou Lan half-closed her eyes, her expression was dull, and she looked extremely tired.

"You're too tired," He Si said, "what are you holding on for?"

After finishing speaking, he took a step closer, put his hands under the opponent's armpit, and wanted to hug him, but Zhou Lan lowered his head and muttered, "I'm tired, I'm almost exhausted."

He Si smiled, thinking that this sentence was the truth.

He picked up the other person, wanted to put him on a chair, and then changed his posture to carry him to the bedroom, but asked Zhou Lan to repeat how tired he was, as if crying.

The tone really hurt him.

"I'm so tired," Zhou Lan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, his legs were like noodles and refused to use his own strength, but the hand holding Browning tried his best to wave upwards.

He Si sighed, he was so dazed after taking the medicine, he couldn't stand up anymore, but he still held the gun firmly - how insecure is this?

After sighing for a while, He Si found that his hand waving the Browning was not aimless. He said he was so tired, and then said that he didn’t want to be so tired anymore. The Browning was trying to point towards him time and time again. of the head.

Damn, what is he trying to do?

He Si understood it in his heart, clamped the opponent's waist with one hand, grabbed Browning with the other and threw it on the writing table, he didn't hesitate anymore, and hugged the opponent firmly.

He remembered that day, he drank a lot, rushed over to hug Zhou Lan, and kissed wildly.

Now he is holding him, without the urge to kiss wildly, only distressed.

Lifting his knees, he hugged Zhou Lan horizontally, it was too light, a man was not as light as a white Russian girl.

Zhou Lan's head rested on his shoulder, and he turned his head and pressed his chin against the opponent's forehead, so as not to let him slip his neck.

Like holding a baby, he walked through the large corridor on the second floor, and the orderly heard the heavy footsteps and ran up to the second floor to help.He Si stopped his footsteps with his eyes, pouted his mouth and booed, signaling the other party not to make noise.

The battalion commanders all called this squad leader their brothers and sisters, so the soldiers naturally feared him and did not dare to make mistakes.

The orderly stood at attention.

He watched He Si hugging someone, kicked open the bedroom door and went in. When He Si turned around and closed the door, he winked at him, and then closed the door tightly.

The brass doorknob slammed and locked inside.

Although he hesitated a little, the little orderly walked down the stairs.
