Wang Buxing

The large thick porcelain bowl contained chewy hand-rolled noodles. Although they were just two very simple home-cooked dishes, Xu Jingsi still ate them with gusto. Xu Jinglin picked a chopstick dish into his bowl: "Do you like it?"

"Yeah!" Xu Jingsi swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded again and again, then heard Xu Jinglin say again: "I cook it for you every day."

Xu Jingsi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was an inexplicable sense of sweetness in his heart, he quickly lowered his head under the pretense of drinking soup to prevent his brother from seeing his smiling eyebrows: "Okay."

At this time, a guard came and knocked on the door lightly. Xu Jinglin glanced at Xu Jingsi, who was buried in the food, and nodded to signal the other party to come in and talk directly. There is no need to shy away.

The guard went to Xu Jinglin's side and said, "Chief, everything has been arranged, and the things for worship are also prepared according to your instructions, and they are all placed in the utility room at the entrance."

His voice was relatively low, Xu Jingsi only heard the word "worship", and looked up at the other party curiously, "worship?"Who are they going to worship?Is it the soldiers who died here?

Xu Jinglin nodded, and explained a few more words so that their guards don't have to be on duty tonight and rest early.

When the guard left, Xu Jingsi couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Brother, who are you going to worship tomorrow? Is it the previous owner of this house?"

"It's not 'you', it's 'us'." Xu Jinglin glanced at him meaningfully, "As for the owner of this house... I will tell you about them slowly."

The more he spoke in such a half-concealed way, the more curious Xu Jingsi became, but he also knew that if his brother planned to keep something a secret, no one would be able to pry a word out of his mouth. He thought about it, "Then you have to tell me who is going to worship tomorrow, right? I can't even burn incense without knowing who I'm worshiping." who."

"Eat, let's talk after eating."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingsi immediately pulled the noodles in the bowl into his mouth in two mouthfuls, and put the empty bowl on the table: "It's over!"

Xu Jingsi laughed and shook his head: "Children have a temper."

He said it was "Let's talk after dinner", but when Xu Jinglin talked about it, the two brothers had already washed up and went to bed, and Xu Jingsi was leaning on the bedside to play mobile games. He didn't expect this house to look so remote and backward Actually also pulled the network cable, and the speed is not bad.

Xu Jinglin sat beside him and turned his head to glance: "Playing games?"

"That's right, I haven't done my daily tasks yet." Xu Jingsi replied without raising his head, and casually waved the phone screen in front of Xu Jinglin, "Brother, look, this is me."

In the middle of the screen, a big man in special forces uniform was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and he was very handsomely shooting into the distance with one hand.

"It's different from what you played last time." Xu Jinglin looked at it for a while, and then calmly said an attributive sentence.

Xu Jingsi laughed, "Brother, do you remember the last time I played? That was a card game, and this one is a simulated battle."

"You remember everything you played." Xu Jinglin patted him on the shoulder, "Go to bed early after a day of driving, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

Xu Jingsi quickly ended the battle, handed the phone to Xu Jinglin and threw it aside, and then asked: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, who are we going to worship tomorrow?"

"Worship...the two heroes." Xu Jinglin was silent for a while, and said lightly.

hero?Xu Jingsi's eyes lit up, his brother's vision is so high, what kind of character would Xu Jinglin call a "hero"? !

Seeing the astonishment and curiosity in his eyes, Xu Jinglin casually stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms. Xu Jingsi wondered why his brother insisted on hugging him when he said something, but he just shrank his shoulders and didn't break away. I am even more curious about the background of the two heroes: "Why have I never heard of you? What do they do? Brother, how do you know them?"

"The two of them are unsung heroes—even in the records, they still bear the name of 'treason'." Xu Jinglin said while turning his head, and brushed the black hair on the top of the boy's head with his lips, seemingly unintentionally. .

"Treason... treason?" Xu Jingsi's heart skipped a beat. These two words are easy to say, but they are two invisible mountains. At least in China, no one with the name of "treason" can see the prison What does the sun look like outside.

Thinking of the previous conversation with his elder brother, Xu Jingsi became more and more suspicious. Since this house belongs to their family, the people who live in this place probably have some intriguing relationship with the Xu family, but there are two "traitors" in the Xu family. relatives?How could such a political stain appear on the Xu family?How can it not be used by political opponents to make a big fuss?Even all these years, he had never heard of this incident.

"Baby, do you find it difficult to accept?" Xu Jinglin asked tentatively, "Even though they have dedicated everything and even their lives to the country, they still don't get the honor and appreciation they deserve-and all of this could have been avoided. .”

"Avoid? What do you mean?"

Xu Jinglin let go of the hand holding his shoulder, sat sideways and looked straight into Xu Jingsi's eyes: "The father gave wrong orders in that action, so they had to take the initiative to expose themselves in order to protect the overall situation, if it wasn't for that Once...they should have retired to their honor."

"...Father?" Xu Jingsi opened his eyes slightly. The word "parents" was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He knew that both of his parents were martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. He has never had contact with his parents in the photos and a few videos that have already faded, and all he knows about them comes from the stories of others.

In these descriptions, his parents are almost perfect. Even after he grew up, he knew that this description must be beautified, but now he suddenly heard Xu Jinglin say this, it is still a bit unacceptable. The always vague and tall image was stained a little by someone—and this person happened to be his elder brother.

The young man frowned subconsciously, and lowered his head to avoid his brother's sharp gaze, "I don't know." He said frankly, "It is of course unbelievable that a wrong move or even death was caused by a wrong instruction from the superior. Just angry, but——but commanders are also human, and it is impossible for humans to avoid making mistakes. They cannot conduct meticulous self-inspection and self-inspection like program codes, and they can only remedy it after the error results appear..." The young man who lowered his head and talked to himself searched for words to express his meaning, but unexpectedly the man in front of him suddenly leaned forward to touch his forehead, and even breathed his own when speaking.

"...Brother?" Xu Jingsi's thoughts were interrupted by this sudden blow, and he stopped talking a little bit at a loss, but when he raised his head, he bumped into the other party's eyes.

Xu Jinglin smiled wryly in his heart, Xu Jingsi is a person who protects his weaknesses too much, as an older brother, he can naturally deeply understand his younger brother's unconditional protection, but now this kind of experience that once made him happy has become the biggest obstacle preventing him from speaking.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, but it was Xu Jingsi who broke the silence first: "Then... what else do we need to do? Can we compensate their families?"
