Fawn

Standing in the dark east wing, Zhang Chunsheng saw bright lights in the opposite west wing, He Ruolong was standing, Xiaolu was walking, the two of them exchanged words and kept talking.

After speaking, the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled.Then He Ruolong went to the door and took off a coat from a nail on the wall.The jacket was an old jacket left by Wu Kui, it was not clean, but the size was just right for He Ruolong's stature.

Immediately the door opened, and a golden light poured out.He Ruolong walked ahead, and Xiao Lu followed behind.

He Ruolong is a person who is used to freedom, and occasionally being a prisoner who suffers from pain and pain for a few days, he has the illusion that he almost suspects that he is going to go through the prison.Now standing in the small square yard, he looked up at the stars in the sky.Night is night, and stars are stars.

The lights in the room dimly illuminated the courtyard, and he turned his head to look at the silhouette of the deer again.The deer is so beautiful that it can't be concealed, and the hair is so short that it shows the shape of the skull, and it can't be modified in any way.His neck was raised slightly, and he held his head high as always.Looking forward and walking forward slowly, his eyelashes circled up and down, and his eyes seemed to have been outlined.

It was the first time in He Ruolong's life that he saw such a beautiful person, and he almost felt strange, because he thought that such a person should not appear here, let alone take on such an errand—that was almost the face of a peerless actress.

At this moment, Xiaolu turned his head and looked at him squarely, his eyes were piercing, his tone was blunt, his voice was hoarse, and there was a big conflict with his appearance: "What are you looking at?"

He Ruolong took a deep breath in the night wind: "I see...I think your eyes are really big enough."

The deer turned to the front and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I look weird?"

He Ruolong did feel that he was abnormal, but using the word "weird" to describe him was obviously very inaccurate.And when he pondered his words, Xiaolu said again: "If you can't accept my face, you don't have to look at me, I won't think you are being rude."

When He Ruolong heard this, he faintly understood: "You mean you are ugly?"

Fawn gritted his teeth facing the front, ugly was also one of his sore spots, fortunately the pain had been going on for a long time and he was already numb.However, before he could loosen his teeth, He Ruolong laughed loudly, and while laughing, He Ruolong raised his hand and patted the little deer on the shoulder: "Captain Lu, don't make such a joke, okay? If you look like this, it's still ugly." , should everyone on the street cover their faces and go out? Are you praising yourself, or are you hurting me?"

The deer was baffled by him, but he refused to delve into this issue, for fear of getting angry and drawing the other party's attention to him.

After 3 minutes, the two naturally changed the subject.He Ruolong talked about the scene when he went to the enemy's house to kill and set fire to him. After talking about it, he smiled wryly: "At first, it was like crazy, but I just hated. I hated so much that I didn't know what I was doing. Later, when I saw the fire rising, I suddenly understood. , knowing that my life is over."

He smiled embarrassedly, and he explained: "At first, I wanted to go to university to study railway engineering. At that time, we all admired Zhan Tianyou. My father was also very willing. He thought that graduating from middle school was considered a scholar, and entering university was to raise people. Anyway, studying The more there are, the more glorious the ancestors will be."

Xiaolu felt something, and couldn't help interjecting: "I want to learn mechanics and open a factory."

He Ruolong suddenly asked: "You are not short of money, and you are willing to study, why are you now a soldier?"

After hearing this, Xiao Lu felt as if he was choked by the cold air, and was speechless for a while.And He Ruolong thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I know, it is faster to start a business than to be an official, and it happens that your godfather is Cheng Ting—Chairman Cheng."

Then he said with a smile: "Little officer who is blinded by profit."

Xiaolu shook his head and defended, "I'm not——I just want to do something realistically."

He Ruolong asked: "What do you want to do?"

The little deer was at a loss for a moment and had nothing to answer, so he asked back, "What about you?"

He Ruolong thought for a long time, and finally replied: "So when I was in the mountains, I planned to expand the strength of our group, and then I would try to mix up the numbers and have a dignified name. But not all of them Listen to me, so I just think about it for myself. Now that I'm in your hands, I don't know what you will arrange for me. Commander Lu, I feel that we are destined, you are a sincere person, It means enough to me, so I entrust my life to you, how you arrange it, I will listen to it."

Xiaolu was noncommittal and continued to walk.

The two chatted without saying a word, and I don't know how many times they went around the yard.Later, when the door of the East Wing was opened, Zhang Chunsheng leaned out and said, "Ying Zuo, it's midnight, go back to the room and rest!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time by the light: "How many hours have we been walking?"

He Ruolong shivered: "I just felt cold when you said that. Are you cold?"

The little deer replied casually, "I'm a little hungry."

Zhang Chunsheng heard it, and immediately went out of the house: "The cook has left early, should I cook some porridge for the camp?"

Seeing this, He Ruolong stopped him immediately: "Adjutant Zhang, it's midnight, you rest, I can also do this job."

Zhang Chunsheng was blocked by him, and watched Xiaolu and He Ruolong go to the backyard helplessly.

The kitchen was lit only by oil lamps.He Ruolong carried the firewood back from the woodshed, and lit a small, lukewarm fire, on which was a pot of gurgling white rice porridge.

Xiao Lu sat on a small bench by the stove, surrounded by warm fire light and steam, and in front of him was He Ruolong.It's been a long, long time since I sat and chatted quietly with my friends like this. Counting the time carefully, it's been almost five years.The hot air warmed his face, and he was slightly drowsy as if he was drunk, and he didn't want to move or talk, he just wanted to sit in silence for a while longer.

His body was lazy, but his mind was active, suddenly, he thought of Cheng Shiteng.

He never allowed himself to think about this person, and after three years of prohibition, he finally made the other person's face gradually blurred.That was the person who made Xiao Lu want to die with him, and he couldn't think about it, thinking about it hurts and hurts.

Pulling his mind back from Cheng Shiteng, he raised his eyes to look at He Ruolong.He Ruolong stood up, and filled him with a small bowl of very thin white rice porridge from the pot.He remembered that the opponent's left arm was still injured, so he stood up and reached out to take the bowl.Through the rising steam, He Ruolong turned his head and said to him: "Be careful, it's very hot."

The words were spoken low and softly, with a natural intimacy.There was no reaction on Xiaolu's face, but he was very happy in his heart.Sitting down and bowing his head, he held the bowl and drank slowly while blowing.

He Ruolong also sat down with a bowl of hot porridge, the place in front of the stove was cramped, and his knees touched Xiao Lu's knees.The two of them had nothing to say, just slurped and drank the porridge, and after drinking a bowl, they would have another bowl, sweating profusely.

After drinking two bowls, Xiao Lu suddenly asked, "How's the injury on your head?"

He Ruolong bowed his head deeply: "Look for yourself."

Fawn pushed back his sweaty short hair: "Why didn't you give in then?"

He Ruolong let him touch his scabbed wound with his fingertips: "At that time, I thought I was going to die. If I died anyway, I wouldn't want to be a softie before dying. Besides, you were a little brother at that time, so you didn't accept it. you."

Xiaolu withdrew his hand: "Have you taken it now?"

He Ruolong raised his head: "It's not a matter of accepting or not, now I consider you a friend."

Xiaolu smiled: "I have no friends."

He Ruolong thought for a while, then smiled: "Among my brothers, some of them got along very well, so they can be regarded as friends, but it's a pity that they were all killed by your soldiers that night."

After hearing his understatement, Xiaolu knew that this person was not the same as the bandits at all.When his brothers died, he did not regret mourning at all.This person's heart may be quite hard when hardened.

But Xiaolu still thinks he is good, so good that he can't tell what is good about him.

After they were full, they went back to their rooms to rest.The next morning, Xiao Lu asked Zhang Chunsheng to mail the letter.As a result, within two days, the reply telegram arrived.

The telegram was sent from Zhangjiakou, but judging from the content, it told Xiaolu to take He Ruolong to Tianjin.Because Cheng Tingli is not resident in Zhangjiakou, once he is free, he still has to go back to the fancy world of Tianjin.

Xiaolu thinks that he didn't rack his brains to write letters in vain, and he successfully aroused Cheng Tingli's interest in He Ruolong.Cheng Tingli's interests are divided into grades, Xiaolu thinks that He Ruolong is handsome but not pretty, he is a typical manly appearance, he should not arouse his godfather's lust, and there will be no trouble if he goes there.And with He Ruolong's style of conversation, if he really caught Cheng Tingli's eyes, then with his talent, it would be easy to get a job.No matter what kind of errand you get, you can earn a living, which is better than being a bandit, and even better than Ling Chi showing the public.

Xiaolu originally lived quite well in this small county, and was extremely unwilling to return to Beiping and Tianjin, but for He Ruolong, he decided to take this trip.After making clear arrangements for the military affairs in the battalion, he took his pair of unseemly right-hand men and led He Ruolong to set off.
