Beat Generation

The convoy drove on the endless wasteland for two days and two nights. At first, Zhuang Mei could remember which direction and which national road they were driving on, but then they could not remember. The itinerary changed again and again. Sometimes they drove in different places On any marked road, sometimes they drove in endless grasslands, and sometimes they got into dense and dangerous swamps. Zhuang Mei was afraid that people and cars would get stuck in the next second and would not be able to pull out.

Zhuang Mei remembered that it seemed to be the morning of the third day or the fourth day. When she woke up, she was in the middle of the cliff. fastened tightly.

"...Where are we?" Zhuang Mei hugged Bao Hui tightly, looked back, the cold wind was blowing, there was a group of people climbing up behind them, one of the mercenaries who were tightly wrapped whistled to her, and said : "Miss Bo, please fasten your scarf, it's too high, it will freeze your ears."

Zhuang Mei quickly tied up her scarf. Bo Hui was climbing up. He reached a narrow rock corner and took a breath.

"Climbing this mountain, we will reach a non-regulatory zone at the junction of the southern country and the northern country, where there are all ethnic minorities." Bo Hui turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Mei, "There is a kettle on the left side of my backpack, you Are you thirsty?"

"Did I sleep too deeply, climbed so high, unexpectedly... don't know at all."

Zhuang Mei took out the military water bottle, fed Bo Hui some water, and then took a big gulp by herself.

"It's not that you fell asleep, it's that I added some sleeping pills to your can. I took pictures of you and you were scared and didn't dare to climb up." Bo Hui blinked, "You're too afraid of heights, and this side, it's too steep."

Before Zhuang Mei could speak, something happened behind them. The two mercenaries who fell at the end of the line slipped their hands and fell two meters away. Pull up, quick!"

Zhuang Mei looked up and saw that someone had already climbed to the highest point of this mountain. Zhuang Mei was about to participate in the rescue, but Bo Hui stopped him and said, "The rope is too thick, and it will hurt your hands. You stay behind me obediently. Okay." Well, sister."

Zhuang Mei really couldn't move, if she moved, Bo Hui's center of gravity would be unstable, it was very dangerous in this place which was neither high nor low, so Zhuang Mei pretended to be a wooden man and watched as the two mercenaries at the end were pulled back to the team.

The team was stable again, and Bo Hui shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, we will be able to climb up immediately. If anyone is really scared to pee their pants, they should cut the rope themselves, don't hurt others, if they want to live Go back and crawl like hell! Do you hear me??!!!"

Everyone should claim to be.

Zhuang Mei looked at Bo Hui, and Bo Hui looked at her, with a smile in his eyes again, and said: "There is food on the right side of my backpack, you can eat something, and don't worry about the rest. ... Also, don't treat them Laugh. Don't talk to them either. They haven't seen a beautiful woman in 800 years."

When Bao Hui spoke seriously, Zhuang Mei couldn't help laughing again. She quickly covered her mouth, and quietly acted as a ghost behind her brother, hanging on her brother.

The higher you go, the more difficult it is to climb, and there were two more problems in the middle. Zhuang Mei was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. Chewing to divert attention.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Bo Hui still carried Zhuang Mei on his back without "unloading".

"You put me down."

"Rest in place for 15 minutes, and we are going down the mountain. Just stay on my back obediently."

"Hmph, I'm not as timid as you think. Do you know? I went to Yulong Snow Mountain to play hang gliding, and even flew far away."

"Really!" Bo Hui raised his hand and patted Zhuang Mei's head backwards, "So you are so powerful."

"Hey! Also, you obviously have so many snacks in your pocket, why don't you give them to me on the way? I eat canned food every day, and I feel like throwing up." Zhuang Mei complained softly, but in fact she complained so much It's not that they ate canned food every day, but that Bo Hui had to follow her to go to the bathroom along the way. The two of them had become conjoined twins in the true sense, just like now, completely tied together.

"Because we are going to climb the mountain in the end, I am afraid that you will be scared and cry all over the place. I was really scared by you before, so I can't do anything about it. You know, sister, there is nothing to coax you in the wilderness, just It all depends on such a little snack." Hearing Bo Hui's well-intentioned expression, Zhuang Mei wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time, and his eyes couldn't help being sore, "I used to cry really badly?"

"En." Bo Hui nodded, he stretched out his hand and held Zhuang Mei's hand, Zhuang Mei also held his hand, the two were silent for a while, Zhuang Mei said: "You put me down, I will I can really go down by myself, I am no longer afraid of heights.”

Bo Hui stood up and asked the others to check their equipment. In 2 minutes, he would go down the mountain along the rope.

"Even if you are not afraid of heights now, as long as there is a one percent risk, I don't want you to bear it. I will carry you down."

Zhuang Mei was powerless to refute, so she could only continue to eat snacks behind her brother.

Descending the mountain is always very fast. Before Zhuang Mei finished unpacking a few packets of snacks, the group of them landed safely from the top of the mountain.

When Bo Hui loosened the ropes for Zhuang Mei, Zhuang Mei just looked at him like this. She touched Bo Hui's face after taking off the helmet with her hand, and said in surprise: "You have really grown up, you have a beard. What's wrong?"

Bo Hui turned his head to the side and showed a big smile. When he smiled, Zhuang Mei felt that he was still a child again.

After being tied up for too long, her feet and waist were a little numb. Zhuang Mei stood where she was, and Bo Hui taught her to do some exercises.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

They camped in the wild again like the previous few days. Zhuang Mei really wanted to help set up a tent and light a fire, but she stood beside this group of vigorous mercenaries and looked around, she still stayed obediently and didn't make trouble for others!

Standing is the most boring thing. At this time, Bo Hui and two mercenaries have entered the first tent to discuss things. He told her to sit on the bench to rest, and asked someone to bring her a bunch of freshly made mercenaries. The bananas she picked, she ate a banana and stood up to look around.

The vegetation was too dense, so she retreated to the camp within twenty steps, for fear of getting lost.

In this way, when it was dark and the bonfire was lit, Zhuang Mei had her own small tent. She got into her sleeping bag and lay down with her eyes closed, when the tent was pulled open. Meaty steak, some cherry tomatoes and a beige sausage.

"Are you going to sleep without dinner?" Bo Hui asked with a smile.

"I'm full from snacks and bananas, you can eat this."

Bo Hui lowered her head, cut up the steak for her sister out of habit, and said, "Eat it all for me, eat it quickly!"

Zhuang Mei rubbed her stomach, she sat up, and ate the beef bite by bite. Even though the beef was a little old, but her younger brother cut it with his own hands, she felt completely warmed up in her heart. The next half was all fed to Bo Hui.

"I still have some things to deal with here, you go to bed first. I'll ask someone to watch outside."

Bo Hui got out of the small tent, and Zhuang Mei lay on his side in the tent, watching the back that was extraordinarily tall against the backdrop of the bonfire drifting away.

It was probably in the middle of the night, when Zhuang Mei was half asleep and half awake, when she heard a strange cry, she sat up suddenly.

"what!"

"Sister, don't be afraid, it's just an owl." Bo Hui held Zhuang Mei's hand, and Zhuang Mei looked at Bo Hui, "I will never be separated from you, and I will never be separated from you again!"

Zhuang Mei hugged Bo Hui violently, and Bo Hui hugged her too, "Yes, we will never be separated, and we will never be separated."

They said it over and over again.

After a long time, Zhuang Mei finally woke up from the confusion of the dream. She slightly pushed Bo Hui away, "I'm sorry, I had a nightmare again. I dreamed that many people came to arrest us. I dreamed that I kept chasing after us. I'm chasing your car, but I can't catch up...there are dead people everywhere...there's blood everywhere..."

"Come to sleep in my arms."

Bo Hui stretched out her arm, and Zhuang Mei pillowed his arm. When she said this, she began to tremble. Bo Hui kissed the top of her hair, and gently unzipped a small window above the tent, and through the square The small mesh window, you can see the towering trees and...beautiful starry sky outside.

"Sister, open your eyes and have a look, let's count the stars like we did when we were kids, okay?" Bo Hui pinched Zhuang Mei's chin slightly and let her look at the small window.

Zhuang Mei's eyes moved to the pitifully small window, and she could indeed see the shining stars. There are many stars tonight.

"Isn't it beautiful? I like the stars here very much. Do you like them? Sister, do you like them. Talk to me, okay?"

"We can count the stars, yes, Xiao Huier, you count the stars with me." Zhuang Mei remembered that when she was very young, she slept with her younger brother, her father hugged her, her mother hugged her younger brother, and his father would tell them stories , While talking, he himself fell asleep first, and their siblings just got excited when they heard it, and finally they had to hold each other and count the stars, and they would fall asleep when they counted thousands of stars.

"One, two, three..." Zhuang Mei started counting, and Bo Hui held her hand, "No, sister, let's count down from the 920th seven, okay?"

Zhuang Mei looked at Bo Hui, "Three thousand nine twenty seven, three thousand nine twenty six, three thousand nine twenty five, three thousand nine twenty four..."

"Three thousand 920 three, three thousand 920 two... three thousand 920 one..." Bo Hui continued to count, "Sister, don't be afraid, tomorrow is a new day and everything will be fine. Tomorrow is a new day and everything will be fine of."

Zhuang Mei kept counting to zero before finally closing her eyes and falling asleep.

----------------

It is also under a starry sky, and the brightly lit city looks at it, and it is hard to see how many bright stars there are in the sky.

Wen Xi, who was attending a dinner party with Kong Yuliang, took a sip of red wine. She was almost absent-minded during the socializing. When some friends in the city asked about her engagement and marriage with Mr. Kong, Kong Yuliang was the only one answering.

This funeral gathered a lot of people of the same generation. It was the first time for Wen Xi to organize such a big dinner in front of his house. The guests gathered from the north and the south, and many of them were even young talents from the North Kingdom.

The white funeral was over, and the elders were not present, and what was in front of them was a red feast.

Wen Chong saw that Wen Xi didn't want to talk about her marriage that had been hanging around for several years at all, so he pulled her aside, the siblings whispered for a while, Wen Xi raised his head and drank half a glass of red wine, and said to Wen Chong: "Brother, Mrs. Rong has just left, and we will keep her mourning. At least three years. No, ten years is fine. "

Wen Chong put on an expression that I knew, "What age is it now, half a year is enough. Don't think I don't know what you think in your heart, Kong Yuliang is the same age as me, you are not in a hurry, he is in a hurry. If you If you really don’t want to end it, let’s make it clear to others.”

"Brother, you take care of too much. You should take care of your life's affairs. Where is my sister-in-law? Where is she?"

Wen Chong laughed angrily, and Wen Xi said again: "You know, Rong Lanzhi hates Kong Yuliang very much, just because of this, I will keep him as long as possible. It's so interesting."

"You, you, why bother to compete with her on this matter. You drink less." Wen Chong snatched the goblet from Wen Xi's hand, and Wen Xi threw the small pearl bag to Wen Chong, and took it from inside After taking away the cigar box, she really drank a little too much tonight, all the people sent out in front never returned, and no one came back alive to give her any news.

In the end, the clues were simply cut off—the Bo siblings simply disappeared.

Wen Xi went to the balcony. Wu Ershan sat in the middle of a five-seater sofa, looking at the night scene expressionlessly. I didn't see her drinking or chatting with anyone throughout the whole night. On the balcony, I don't know what she can watch for so long?

Wen Xi saw that Wu was sitting there like a little Buddha, holding the phone piously in his hand, as if waiting for her Mrs. Wu to call her.

As long as the mobile phone has the sound of pushing messages, she will immediately open it and take a look.

Over and over, over and over again.

Wen Xi sneered and lit a cigar, she took a puff, walked over and took Wu Ershan's cell phone.

Wu Ershan immediately dragged Wen Xi down, "Give it back to me! She will call me back! I sent her a lot of messages! She will see it."

Seeing her swearing, Wen Xi smiled even brighter.

"Please don't laugh. It's my only hope."

Wen Xi blinked, she sat on the sofa and threw the phone back to her.

"That contact person of yours is really powerful. He can extradite Bo Hui back."

"I begged her for three days, three full days, before she was willing to help me. I spent a lot of money, and it took me two months to get that brat back. I didn't expect him to treat me like this."

Wen Xi applauded and smiled even more happily.

Wu Ershan glanced at the phone again.

At this time, Zhan Banbi came over with a bottle of red wine. Her eyes were red from drinking, but she was still very sober.

"Would you like it?" Zhan Banbi asked.

"Yes." Both Wu Ershan and Wen Xi held up empty wine glasses, and Zhan Banbi poured them one by one.

"I asked people from the National Intelligence Agency, the Ministry of Security, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hell, what they told me was that Bo Hui was in the great French Republic and never sneaked back to China." Zhan Banbi took a sip of his red wine, She smiled on her face, but her eyes were full of admiration for Wu Ershan, "Ershan, your contact person is really amazing."

"Stop talking, I asked her to try to reconnect with Bo Hui. Bambi, I don't agree with you asking those people in the government, it will cause trouble. They have actually stopped paying attention to Bo Hui these years."

"No, they are all my people..." Zhan Banbi rubbed the bridge of his nose, "This is so interesting, cheers to Bo Hui, who is elusive!"

"cheers!"

The three of them clinked glasses, and the red wine drank into their throats. The three of them had their own thoughts.

"Ershan, why did you tell your parents that you, little lady, disappeared one after another." Wen Xi asked.

"They had already left by plane. I said she would stay at your house for a few days and have fun in the south. They also asked me why she didn't come to see you off. Fortunately, I covered it up." Wu replied.

Everyone in the banquet hall is making friends enthusiastically, and the scene is very lively. This is a youth gathering that can be said to break the barriers between the north and the south, especially in the current tense situation, it is even more precious.

And the atmosphere of the three people on the balcony was as complicated and dignified as the night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

All three were silent for a while.

Wen Xi said, "Let's play a game, shall we?"

"What game." Zhan Banbi tilted his head to look at Wen Xi, and Wen Xi looked at Zhan Banbi, "The name of the game: Find Bo Mei. Game rules: Whoever finds Bo Mei first, and whoever finds her first, will be her." Yes. Do you want to play?"

Zhan Banbi smiled, and she looked at Wu Ershan.

Wu, who had already lost all fighting spirit, was rekindled. She thought about it, nodded and said, "Just play. I have a very good game life. Don't forget, you have never beaten me when you play games since you were young. "

"You lost to Guo Bohui. I remember, it seems that there were a few times." Wen Xi frowned slightly, and she lightly exhaled smoke and said with a chuckle.

"I remember too." Zhan Banbi also smiled.

"Hey? There is no such thing as hitting a teammate. Now we are in the alliance! We can help each other and find her together, first kill that stinky boy Bo Hui, the first half is over! We win! Then we can let her hide herself , let's come to the second final, no matter what method we use, there is no limit, in short, whoever finds her, she will be his, okay?" Wu Ershan stretched out his hand, "Do you dare to play? Huh??"

Wen Xi and Zhan Banbi looked at each other, and then they put their hands on the back of Wu's hands, stacking them on top of each other, three people, six hands, forming an alliance just like when they were children.
