What a beautiful white lotus

When the next day was about to dawn, Heigou and the others finally saw the belated city wall ahead, and they arrived at Changleping Town.However, at this time Ouyang Qing couldn't hold on anymore.

The black dog kept bumping the person on its back, and shouted: "Master Jun, Lord Jun, Ouyang Qing, Ouyang, wake up, the hospital is coming."

After several times, Ouyang Qing finally had a reaction.He opened his eyes, looked at the sign on the city gate, smiled and murmured: "It's here."

The black dog said, "Here we are."

Ouyang Qing whispered in his ear: "Finally arrived in Tianjin...it's great...going home..."

The black dog's footsteps paused, and then stepped forward firmly: "Well, we're home."

Ouyang Qing said: "Thank you." Then his two arms resting on the black dog's shoulders hung down feebly.

Ye Rongqiu ran up, touched Ouyang Qing's breath, and said with grief: "He's out of breath."

The black dog didn't say anything, but still carried Ouyang Qing firmly on his back and walked into the town.When they entered the town, the townspeople saw the three men wearing blood-stained military uniforms, and immediately a fellow villager ran over pushing a cart: "Military men, get in my car, and I'll take you to the hospital."

Heigou put Ouyang Qing on the cart, the fellow looked at Ouyang Qing who was already a little stiff, was stunned for a moment, then looked at the faces of Heigou and Ye Rongqiu, said nothing, pulled up the cart and rushed to the hospital.

On the way, the fellow asked: "Master Jun, you just came back from beating devils? How many devils have you killed?"

Heigou and Ye Rongqiu looked at each other.Heigou said: "I don't have one." He pointed to Ouyang Qing, "But he is a powerful soldier, and he is worthy of his military uniform."

When they arrived at the hospital, several doctors gathered around to check Ouyang Qing's condition, but after checking, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ouyang Qing died.When they were at the gate of the city, Black Dog and Ye Rongqiu knew that Ouyang Qing was dead, but they still insisted on sending Ouyang Qing to the hospital.

Ouyang Qing, who had not been on the battlefield for three years, was killed by a Japanese bomb.

The black dog dug a hole outside the city and buried Ouyang Qing.He has no ability to send Ouyang Qing back to Tianjin.Although he and Ye Rongqiu didn't have much money to buy food, and Ouyang Qing wore a watch worth a few dollars on his wrist, the black dog didn't touch anything on him, especially his military uniform—because Ouyang Qing was a real military.Although he has never fought.

Ye Rongqiu watched the black dog bury Ouyang Qing, and then he saluted Ouyang Qing's simple tombstone.

Then he asked the black dog, "What shall we do next?"

The black dog asked him, "How much money do you have?"

Ye Rongqiu turned out his pocket and counted.Fifty oceans were burned in the car, and there were only a few copper coins left in his pocket, enough to buy a few black-faced buns, not enough for their travel expenses to Wuhan, and not enough for them to go back to Chongqing.

The black dog said: "Don't be afraid, I said I will send you to Wuhan."

Ye Rongqiu whispered: "But I want to go back to Chongqing." He was afraid of Mozhi's future, and he would rather retreat back to the original place, under the wings of his father and brother, than to venture further.

The black dog glanced at him, noncommittal.

After a while, the black dog asked Ye Rongqiu: "What do you think makes life meaningful?"

Ye Rongqiu said: "Do more meaningful things."

The black dog asked him: "What kind of thing is meaningful?"

Ye Rongqiu was silent for a while, and softly uttered a few words: Probably...have ideals.

Black Dog nodded.He has always been in awe of people with ideals, that's why he saved Feng Zhen back then.No matter how illusory that person's ideal is and how difficult it seems to be realized, the black dog will be in awe, because he has no ideal himself.Now he tried to set up an ideal for himself, but he couldn't think of one.Beat the Japanese?He is not interested in war.To restore the Zhong family's former glory?Nor is he interested in wealth.Marry a wife and have a litter of children?Nor was he interested.He seems to never think about long-term things, and what can motivate him is the immediate things.The thing he wants to accomplish most right now is to send Ye Rongqiu to Wuhan.

He asked Ye Rongqiu: "Do you have ideals?"

Ye Rongqiu thought about it for a while, then shook his head.He has some ideas, such as writing admirable articles, such as maintaining a decent life for their family, but these things cannot be called ideals.He refused to admit it, but sometimes he had to realize that there was an emptiness in his heart, so empty that he had to make up for it with decency.

The black dog asked Ye Rongqiu again: "Do you think Ouyang Qing's life is meaningful?"

This time Ye Rongqiu thought about it for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "I don't know. He has ideals, but he didn't succeed. His life...should be unworthy. Can unworthy be called meaningful? "

The black dog thought to himself: Yes, if you have ideals, you have to realize your ideals to be considered meaningful. If you fail to achieve them, you will regret for life.It's too difficult, so let's do the things in front of us first, and think about the things in the future.

In the evening, the two of them spent the night in the town.The black dog also brought some money with him, so it was enough for them to stay in the hotel in the town, but he didn't have much money, so he could stay for a few nights at most.He originally wanted to save money by living in a bunk house, but Ye Rongqiu definitely couldn't bear it, so he booked a separate room.However, there was only one bed in the wing room, so Ye Rongqiu couldn't afford to pick and choose at this time.

Both of them were tired for two days and one night and didn't close their eyes, and they didn't fall asleep immediately after entering the room.Heigou fetched a basin of hot water, helped Ye Rongqiu remove his shoes and socks, and put his swollen feet like steamed buns into the hot water.Some time ago Ye Rongqiu thought it was okay, but now as soon as he sat down, his sprained foot immediately hurt, and the black dog howled in pain as soon as it touched him.

The black dog was so tired that he could fall asleep standing up, and he had to serve the young master. He was really upset and rubbed his wounds hard on purpose.Ye Rongqiu twitched from the pain, screamed at first, then lost the strength to scream, and lay on the chair panting.Heigou raised his head and saw Ye Rongqiu looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, pouting his mouth so aggrieved that he could pinch water out. He was in a good mood, and his movements were much gentler.

After a while, the black dog patted Ye Rongqiu's snow-white calf: "Okay, it's not a serious injury, even if it's twisted, it's not considered an injury. It will be fine after a few days of treatment."

Ye Rongqiu didn't dare to speak when his sore spot was pinched by the black dog just now, but now he dared to complain: "You are so annoying, you deliberately used such force."

"Hey." The black dog laughed: "Nephew, your conscience is really good."

Ye Rongqiu blushed, and argued not to be outdone: "It's not that I haven't twisted my feet, I'm not as ruthless as you." After speaking, he didn't dare to look at the black dog, hugged his knees and snorted.

In fact, Ye Rongqiu was a little afraid of the black dog. He used to have a little confidence when A Fei was around, but now that A Fei is gone, he and the black dog are left facing each other, and his pretentiousness is half weak .In his heart, he knew that the black dog would not harm his life, but he was a weak scholar, and the black dog had long hands, long feet, and a strong body. If the two of them had conflicts, he would always suffer.

What's more... Maybe the black dog was once Huang Sanye's subordinate, Ye Rongqiu couldn't help but guess whether he and Huang Sanye had the same perverted habit.What if the black dog wants to secretly do something unholy to him in the dead of night? !What if the black dog used force on him? !No, no, if the black dog dares to do that, he will not let him succeed in his own death! !Uh... But my little life has escaped two air strikes, wouldn't it be a big waste to die for such a thing?Is life important or integrity important?

The black dog didn't know Ye Rongqiu's Ma Xingkong's thoughts, but he had seen through Ye Rongqiu's sternness, and knew that Ye Rongqiu was afraid of him, so he loosened his arms and legs on purpose, and Ye Rongqiu shrank his neck in fright.

Ye Rongqiu noticed the playful eyes of the black dog, and immediately straightened up and stared back, not to be outdone, but when the black dog stretched out his fists and feet, he immediately shrank into a ball again in fright.Ye Rongqiu knew that the black dog was teasing him on purpose, and felt terribly wronged, but he couldn't get rid of the black dog and leave by himself, so the more he thought about it, the more wronged he was, and he almost cried, biting his lips and unwilling to cry, afraid of being called black. The dog underestimated him.The black dog didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and went out to fetch water again.

The conditions in the small town are not good, so naturally there are no Western facilities for them to take a bath.The black dog took off the tattered and dirty clothes and threw them aside, and stood naked in the room, using the water in the basin to scrub the stains on his body.Ye Rongqiu didn't know what was wrong, but he didn't dare to look at his fleshy body.But the room is so small, the black dog's long and thin body pokes there, his wheat-colored skin is very attractive, Ye Rongqiu accidentally caught his eyes several times.

The long scar on the black dog's back was no longer bleeding, but it was still scarred and scarred, which was frightening.Ye Rongqiu suddenly felt as if his heart had been grabbed, and his chest was a little stuffy and uncomfortable, maybe it was something bloody that he couldn't see.But I can't see you again. In fact, I have seen a lot.

Ye Rongqiu's outfit was not much better than that of a black dog, his shirt and trousers were wrinkled, and they were all covered with mud and blood. When he calmed down, the smell made his skin crawl.But the black dog was beside him. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was reluctant to take off his clothes.

The black dog cleaned himself up and got into the bed naked.Ye Rongqiu stared, and said awkwardly: "There is only one bed here!"

The black dog was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, and said indifferently, "What, you want to sleep on the floor?"

Ye Rongqiu frowned and said, "There is only one quilt."

The black dog glanced sideways: "It's such a small bed, even if you try to put a bed and quilt on it, it won't fit."

Ye Rongqiu said: "You, you... you just got in naked!"

The black dog can think of Ye Rongqiu's awkward expression without opening his eyes, and he giggled happily: "Do you want me to wear that dress to bed?"

Ye Rongqiu glanced at the messy clothes on the ground, and thought that it would be better not to sleep, because he was too sleepy to wear this to sleep.The black dog said: "Then you go ask for a quilt again. Well, I'm trapped to death."

So Ye Rongqiu ran out to the shopkeeper and asked for more quilts, but the shopkeeper said that there were no extra quilts in the store, and Ye Rongqiu asked her to add money, but she said that there were really no more quilts, and there was no extra money.Ye Rongqiu had no choice but to go back to the room with only one bed and one quilt.
