The author is sad and terrified

So the two side stories are updated at the same time, and the second one is good!In the 19XX year of the earth calendar, the Battle of the Gobi Desert.

The blood-red sunset sprinkled the afterglow all over the Gobi. In the distance is the red stone mountain under the residual blood of the setting sun. Nearby is the tragic scene of corpses and blood flowing in the world.

The roar of the bombers gradually faded away, and the horn of retreating the enemy continued intermittently until there was no sound.

Twenty thousand soldiers fought hard for a day and two nights and died heroically.

Mosquitoes and flies dare not breed here, and goshawks are still afraid to wander here.

This is the first time that a large-scale biological weapon has appeared on a human battlefield. Once it appeared, it would kill tens of thousands of people.

months later.

The biochemical poisonous gas had already dissipated in the bitter cold wind of the Gobi, and the blood coagulated all over the ground, dyeing the earth black and red. The rock crevices and tidal flats were all bullet casing rings, which showed the tragic past of this place.

After several months, countless soldiers sacrificed their lives and finally managed to secure a complete piece of land and homeland.

The young scholar was wearing a neat Chinese tunic suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sitting in the car and looking at the Gobi in front of him.

Desolate and uninhabited, leaving thousands of dead souls alone.

His face was full of tiredness, but his eyes were extremely determined.

Amidst the howling wind, sand and gravel filled the sky.

The scholar held a red wooden box in his hand, opened it, and inside was a golden badge.

The badge is inscribed in teeny lowercase:

Remember the heroes.

Lu Xiao, commander of the Second Brigade of the Northwest Military Region.

The young scholar stroked the surface of the badge gently with his fingers, and said softly, "Brother Xiao, I'm here to see you."

The car door opened, and a young man in neat military uniform stood beside the car, handing over a chemical protective suit respectfully: "Mr. Shen, we are here."

Shen Yuesheng took the protective suit, put the box with the badge aside, straightened her hair, and asked, "Do I look okay now?"

The young soldier took a quick look, and saw that the young chemist, who had just returned from overseas a few days ago, had his hair combed in the current fashion. Even without pomade, it looked black and shiny. The thin gold-rimmed glasses are a typical image of intellectuals.

He replied with full respect: "Mr. Shen seems to be fine."

After a pause, he recalled the layer of tiredness on Shen Yuesheng's soft face, and boldly added: "It's just that Mr. Shen has been running all the way, and he is inevitably tired, so his complexion is a little pale."

Shen Yuesheng smiled slightly, looked at her face carefully through the car window, and said, "Forget it, after so many years, I guess he won't be able to see it."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yuesheng put on the chemical protective suit layer by layer. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the young soldier distressed by the complicated chemical protective suit, so he walked over to help.

The soldier's face was dark because of his life in the wild. Shen Yuesheng helped him zip up the outermost zipper, and then asked: "It's not safe here, why did the superiors send you here? Judging by your age, you shouldn't Up to twenty."

The soldier's already dark face showed a little blush, but fortunately he couldn't see clearly under the mask. He subconsciously stood at attention and replied: "I voluntarily! I heard that Mr. Shen stayed abroad for seven years. National defense construction, I admired it very much, so I signed up."

The soldier scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued: "I joined the army at the end of the war. I was not old enough before, so my superiors refused to allow me."

"Then aren't you afraid? Seeing so many corpses at once." Shen Yuesheng said gently.

Even though he was only about thirty years old, he was as heavy as a pot of old wine.

The soldier puffed up his chest: "Don't be afraid! I participated in the Battle of Songling Mountain and the Battle of Changyao River. Why should I be afraid of heroes?"

Shen Yuesheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go. What's your name?"

The soldier volunteered to lead the way for him: "My name is Zheng Changhai."

Shen Yuesheng picked up the mahogany box on the side, looked at Zheng Changhai's tall and straight back, and thought silently in her heart: "It's a pity that I didn't return to China because of this, I just want to take over from him to protect these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

After several months of exposure to the sun and rain, in winter, the corpses on the Gobi Desert that no one came to collect are only broken skirts and dry bones. The dry bones are gray and yellow.

Zheng Changhai walked a step or two ahead, as if he was worried about whether the handsome and elegant young scholar in front of him could bear the tragedy in front of him, completely forgetting Shen Yuesheng's indifference when he was asked if he was afraid, so he tried to explain: "Here Although the preliminary toxicology test is already safe, the higher-ups are still not at ease, so it is only recently that people have been sent to collect the surrounding corpses one after another."

Zheng Changhai pointed to the dry and blackened land under their feet: "From here, it is almost the central area. The initial explosion radius of the gas bomb dropped by the bomber was almost here. The corpses outside have been collected almost, but the main Still in there."

Shen Yuesheng passed him and looked inside, then said: "Well, thank you for your hard work, but the person I'm looking for should be inside."

Zheng Changhai hesitated for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage to ask, "Mr. Shen, who are you looking for?"

Although Shen Yuesheng knew that the other party couldn't see her expression, she still smiled gently: "I'm looking for the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Northwest Military Region, Lu Xiao."

……

A piece of tattered military uniform was turned over, and some corpses had not been worn away by the wind and frost, and the texture of muscles on the white bones could be vaguely seen, but most of them had turned into dry bones.

The thick chemical protective suit was so stuffy that people couldn't breathe smoothly, but Shen Yuesheng didn't seem to notice it. He reviewed the enemy's attack route that day in his heart, and then went through all Lu Xiao's possible countermeasures, and finally finalized a few A key location, one by one to rummage up.

The faded and whitish clothing was no longer recognizable. Zheng Changhai stood aside to help turn over a pile of bones, and asked, "Mr.

Shen Yuesheng focused on checking around the hand bones of a corpse, and then said: "He has two paired rings, one is worn on his hand, and the other is hung around his neck, and he never leaves his body."

"Two pairs of rings?" Zheng Changhai lowered his head and rummaged around in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand why Colonel Lu wore two pairs of rings on his body.

Sweat slid down his back, forming small puddles on the soles of his feet.

Shen Yuesheng turned over a tall skeleton, and finally saw a silver ring clutched in the palm of the skeleton's left hand, and the other silver ring was put on the phalanx of the ring finger of the skeleton's left hand, and was tightly connected to the ring in the palm of the hand .

The gray-white skeleton has several obvious bone lines on the ribs and legs, and there are two clear bullet holes on the skull. The gray military uniform hangs on the skeleton in tatters, and it seems to be no different from all the surrounding bones. .

But Shen Yuesheng knew that this was Lu Xiao whom he had been away for seven years.

It was the nightmare that he tossed and turned day and night, from which he could not escape.

The whistling wind in the Gobi Desert seemed to pity their human tragedy of eternal separation, and suddenly subsided.

Shen Yuesheng opened the mahogany box in her hand, took out the golden badge, and put it in the empty chest cavity, then carefully took off the two rings, and put them together into the box covered with red cloth.

"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Does the question from seven years ago still count?"

The skeleton opened its empty eyes, as if the wind was flowing through the cracks in the bones, and let out a low whimper.

Zheng Changhai stood behind motionless, looking at the young scholar who suddenly fell to his knees in front of him, he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

After a long time, Shen Yuesheng stood up from the ground, and said softly: "I am laughing at you, Lu Xiao and I are classmates studying in the same school, and even lifelong friends."

It is also a lover who is not tolerated by the world.

Zheng Changhai took out the body bag, shook his head, and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Shen is a man of integrity, and went into a dangerous situation to collect the body for his friend. I... admire it very much."

Shen Yuesheng smiled noncommittally, and then carefully buried every dry bone on the ground, and finally put the yellow-orange badge in.

Just as he was about to seal it, he didn't know what came to his mind, he opened the mahogany box again, and put the pair of rings taken from the corpse's phalanx into it carefully, and then sealed the bag.

Seven years ago, we had a hasty farewell, and when we met again, it was already separated by yin and yang.

Shen Yuesheng hugged the bag in her arms, and said softly before getting up: "The answer to that question seven years ago—"

"—I am willing."

But I was too late to answer after all.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, let me carry you away.

Just like that year, you picked me up when I fell down.

That was in Haining City.

In the highest university in the country, a large number of elite talents have entered the palace of knowledge.

There are palm trees lining the road, posting boards under the trees, and big newspapers and tabloids in the posting boards.

"The world is precarious, and tigers and wolves are entrenched. Only knowledge can prosper our country and protect our people!"

"The strength of a country lies in the abundance of guns and ammunition, and the advanced weapons and weapons!"

"National economy and people's livelihood, culture and military strategy, are indispensable!"

……

When Shen Yuesheng got out of the car, what he saw was such a campus scene.

Refusing the help of the driver at home, he dragged a big suitcase into the dormitory alone, dilapidated walls, creaking bunk beds, these were experiences that Shen Yuesheng had never seen or had since childhood.

The young man who grew up in a foreign goods store saw a lot of exquisite objects such as glazed clocks and watches, so he was very novel about these things.

The stairs leading to the upper bunk were made of thin iron railings. Shen Yuesheng had been tidying the upper bunk for a long time, and her feet were covered with sweat. As soon as she stepped on it, she fell off the upper bunk unexpectedly.

There was a pinprick-like pain in the right ankle.

He tremblingly held on to the legs of the table and tried to stand up, but before he could use any strength, he went limp again.

The door of the dormitory was closed tightly, and the students in the lower bunk hadn't come yet.

Just when he was about to shout for help, the door creaked open, and a tall figure covered in sweat walked in with an army green box on his shoulders, and he saw Shen Yuesheng who was immobile on the ground at a glance.

The handsome sword eyebrows of the figure frowned, some sharp lines were drawn on the handsome face, and he asked quite imposingly, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuesheng recognized Lu Xiao, the son of the commander's family in the eastern theater at a glance.

He didn't care about the pain in his ankle, so he quickly straightened his clothes to make sure there was nothing inappropriate, then he smiled and stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, my name is Shen Yuesheng, I'm the youngest son of the Shen family in the north of the city. We met once on my father's [-]th birthday."

Lu Xiao's frown deepened, he didn't care about Shen Yuesheng's outstretched hand, but put down the box casually, then bent down to hug Shen Yuesheng, and strode out.

One second before Shen Yuesheng was thinking about how to get along with Lu Xiao, but the next second she was hugged in a princess-like position, and the gentle smile on her face could hardly be restrained. He said with some embarrassment: " Lu Xiao, let me down, I'm just sprained."

Lu Xiao lowered his head and glanced at him casually. Was the youngest son of the Shen family in the north of the city so dawdling?

He said in a deep voice, "Don't move, your ankle should be broken, not a sprain, and you can't get off the ground."

Shen Yuesheng had no choice but to turn her face towards Lu Xiao's chest to avoid the prying eyes of her classmates.

In less than two hours, the news that he was carried to the infirmary would reach the ears of his stiff and serious father.

At that time, the image and face of the Shen family in his father's mouth may only be used as a shield by Lu Xiao's identity.

Later, the two became acquainted in the dormitory. Shen Yuesheng once asked Lu Xiao why he didn't join the army, but came to school. Lu Xiao looked at him for a while, and then said: "Then why don't you inherit your family's property? Come to study chemistry?"

Shen Yuesheng was left speechless by the question, and after a while she said, "Of course it's because of interest."

Lu Xiao chuckled lightly: "Then you can also think that it's because of my interest."

Shen Yuesheng never asked this question again, but it was not until they parted ways that he finally understood——

Lu Xiao has never lived for his own interests. He came here because he firmly believes that the strength of a country not only requires iron-blooded soldiers, but also a group of great scientists and thinkers.

He was destined to do the former, but he wondered if the latter was possible.

Three years of getting along day and night, from passionate eloquence in the classroom, to sharing food and drinks in the cafeteria, from chasing each other on the playground, to warm company in the dormitory.

Until one day, the two of them were sitting by the window of the dormitory under the moonlight, eating the cherries sent by the Shen family, looking at the military books borrowed from the library, the moonlight was ambiguous, and the two suddenly couldn't move their eyes.

The cherry was knocked to the ground, Lu Xiao imprisoned Shen Yuesheng in his arms, the smell of the other party still remained on his mouth.

There was a heap of silence in the room.

After a long time, Lu Xiao asked softly, "Yue Sheng, are you afraid?"

……

After so many years, Shen Yuesheng even somewhat forgot how she answered at the beginning, she only knew that since then, they really started an unusual love.

At that time, this was heresy, a taboo that violated the secular and human ethics.

But this matter was eventually found out by the Shen family and the Lu family.

Both of them dropped out of school, and Shen Yuesheng was locked in the old house. For a whole month, his father's sternness, his mother's grief, his grandmother's wailing, and his brother's persuasion were all like sharp knives on his heart. Didn't feel like I did anything wrong.

I just fell in love with someone, what's wrong with that?

One month later, Shen's father suddenly said: "Lu Xiao is here. He is going to join the army tomorrow. The Northwest Military Region. See you for the last time. From now on, pretend that you don't know such a person."

Shen Yuesheng raised his head in a daze, he didn't know how Lu Xiao persuaded his staid father, his mind was full of the phrase "he's going to join the army tomorrow, the Northwest Military Region".

It spans more than half of the country.

The heavy carved wooden door opened and closed, and a warm and tight embrace enveloped him.

Lu Xiao hugged him tightly, then murmured: "Yue Sheng, you have suffered."

Shen Yuesheng raised her head and saw Lu Xiao's black chin and thin cheeks, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Just when he was at a loss, Lu Xiao suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out two silver rings from the secret pocket on his chest, and said, "Yue Sheng, I finally tricked my family to come out. Let's go, go to a place where no one knows, okay?"

Shen Yuesheng looked at the two pair of rings, and suddenly realized something.

It was a hasty proposal and a long-planned elopement.

Just when he was about to say something, the heavy door was slammed open, and two teams of guards quickly rushed in to separate the two, one of them covered Shen Yuesheng's mouth, and the other firmly controlled him, The rest of the people grabbed Lu Xiao who was struggling constantly, and dragged him to the door.

In the chaos, Shen Yuesheng vaguely heard Lu Xiao shouting hoarsely: "You lied to me! You installed bugs!"

After that day, Shen Yuesheng never saw Lu Xiao again, nor heard any news about him.

A month later, he was sent out of the country in a hurry by his father, and he stayed there for seven years.

Time flies, but the owed answer, the owed promise, after all, the Sri Lankan can't hear it.

……

Shen Yuesheng was holding the mahogany urn, standing on the top of the Gobi Desert.

Then, I will build the Institute of Biological Warfare under the Gobi Desert. If you still have a ray of spirit, you will know that I will stay with you here for a long time.

And many, many years later, when the institute was rebuilt again, Shen Yuesheng, who was bedridden and barely alive, suddenly made a last request: "I want to use my voice and image when I was 30 years old for the artificial intelligence of the institute."

In this way, it seems that our lives are always frozen at the age of 30.
