Heart fire

"Come here, cutie." Huo Ci walked up to Wen Yue in two steps, pulled him back to the other bed without any explanation, pressed him to sit down, and stuffed a large bag of snacks into his arms: "See if you like it." Food? No, I'll buy it for you later."

Wen Yue was embarrassed to rummage through the things in the bag, and looked up at Huo Ci with a blank face: "Thank you, Officer Huo... so many delicious foods! I can't eat it by myself, give it to Team Tu. …”

"It's not his share, it's all yours." Huo Ci bent down and looked at Wen Yue carefully, his eyes were so naked that it made people blush and heartbeat. "Eat more, this little face is so pale, it really hurts."

After finishing speaking, he took off his jacket and threw it aside, rolled up his two sleeves, and took out two pomegranates from another bag. With every move, the sling-style holster from his shoulders to his armpit wrapped him in his shirt. The huge figure draws a clear outline.

Wen Yue stared blankly at Huo resigned to wash his hands, and when he came back, he pulled a stool and sat down in front of him, picked up a fruit knife and peeled the pomegranate neatly.

On the other side, Tu Ke's buttocks seemed to be stabbed, and he couldn't move around for a moment, and he kept complaining: "What kind of crap, it's not as comfortable as lying on the bed in my team!"

"Why did you come empty-handed? I want some tea!" Seeing that no one answered, he turned to Xi Yang again: "I want to pee."

Xi Yang looked at him coldly: "You don't need to report to me when you go to the bathroom."

"My shoulder hurts, I can't get up, and I don't have any hands to support, or you can give me the urinal." Tu Ke closed his eyes and began to play tricks.

This man was almost thirty, and he was as childish as a three-year-old.Xi Yang and Huo Ci have long been used to it, and they don't bother to talk to him, only Wen Yue, who will get out of bed and help him as soon as they hear it.

"I'll come, I'll come, the urinal is under the bed..."

He jumped off the bed, Huo Ci put down something to stop him, suddenly, the ground and the ceiling shook under his feet, the vase on the bedside table overturned, and the pomegranate rolled to the ground.

Wen Yue suddenly lost his focus and fell into Huo Ci's arms.

"Earthquake!" Xi Yang quickly rushed to the bedside to support Tu Ke, and shouted at Huo Ci amidst the unstoppable shaking and the noise outside the door: "Go downstairs through the fire escape! Go first, Tu Ke Leave it to me."

"Pull it down, I can go." Tu Ke rolled over and got off the bed, put on his slippers and went to grab Wen Yue, but Huo Ci put one arm around his waist and rushed out the door.

"Show a fart, who hasn't practiced..." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, and staggered back to look for Xi Yang: "Oh no, it hurts when you move, Captain Xi, please give me a hand." !"

...

The vibration continued intermittently for more than a minute, and then stopped completely.Except for the severely ill and mobility-impaired patients, the others were quickly moved to outdoor shelters.After setting up Tu Ke and Wen Yue, Xi Yang and Huo Ci turned back to assist the evacuation of the hospital. After everything was settled, he quickly called the team and asked the soldiers on duty to call Xiang Yu.

After waiting anxiously, the other party finally responded.

"Hey."

"Brother Xiang, how's the situation?" Xi Yang hurriedly asked without thinking too much: "Have you heard from the headquarter? I'm in the hospital right now and I'll be right back..."

However, before he finished speaking, he heard a somewhat familiar voice, but definitely not Xiang Yu's voice interrupting him rudely.

In the duty room, Zheng Jiang, holding the receiver in his hand, raised the teaching stick in front of him, smelled the fishy smell on it with disgust, and sneered with satisfaction and silently: "Captain Xi, if you have anything to do, you can communicate with me directly. Why bother to send a message to brother and ask me for instructions."

Noticing that Xi Yang paused unpreparedly, he went on to say: "Since Team Xi has something to do, let's deal with it with peace of mind. The Earthquake Bureau's measurement has just been released, and the epicenter is far away from us. Aftershocks basically do not pose a hazard. Support, now resume training, is there any problem?"

...

Putting down the phone, Zheng Jiang picked up the mobile phone that had not been hung up, stepped out of the duty room and walked under a row of trees on the opposite side, and said to Tao Weinan on the other side: "Go on, what did you just say?"

"I said, why did Ke Tu suddenly enter the hospital, what should we do with the situation we are preparing for?" Tao Weinan asked.

Zheng Jiang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. A group of soldiers on the playground were punishing and practicing. Only Fang Jianhua squatted on the ground, at a loss, staring at a mass of blood-stained white objects in a daze.

"Don't be so stupid, don't touch him."

"I've already entered the water, and my son will be there sooner or later. There is no need to make such an effort in advance, and he is not a vegetarian."

Tao Weinan instantly understood: "Then... the only one who is difficult to deal with is that kid."

Zheng Jiang withdrew his gaze and frowned: "Is it difficult? Just do it if it is difficult."

"But I'm curious, why do you hate him so much? Could it be that he has something in his hands and wants to silence him?"

"I..." Tao Weinan was obviously not telling the truth, and began to evade his words. "Hey, I just don't like how he looks so noble when he comes out of a military academy."

If you tell a lot of lies, you will believe it, but as you talk, he can't help but think of the past, the way Xi Yang dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and the way he sold his personality to the devil for revenge and for a moment of pleasure. That day, I remembered what he had said to Zhou Yi before Zhou Yi took him out of the fire and turned back, and showed him the way.

"Don't go the same way, I have checked, there is a shortcut under the coal-fired conveyor, it is faster."

Tao Weinan swallowed the uneasiness and panic rising in his heart: "Hehe, if I like dead people, I will make him happy. Wouldn't it be good to send them back together earlier?"

...

At the entrance of the inpatient building, Xi Yang walked back to Tu Ke, hesitated and said nothing.

"I have to go. Have a good rest and take care of Wen Yue."

"Hurry up, don't come here if you have nothing to do, it will only be a week at most. Remember to water the flowers for me, don't just water the pots in the dormitory, there are also those in the field!" Tu Ke stretched out his hand to push him, urging him to leave quickly. "How can I send you a message to tell you, let those bastards help together."

Huo Ci, who had forgotten his coat, stood out among a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, so he had no choice but to show his identity and ask the doctor for a white coat, which he wore to cover the gun at his waist.

"Did you drive? If I didn't, I'll see you off. I happened to drop by Xiaoyang Bay."

Before leaving, he ignored Tu Ke's stinky face and reached out to pinch Wen Yue's chin.

"See you later, cutie."

Huo Ci's Wrangler is exactly the same as Tu Ke's, even the accessories inside the car are the same.Along the way, Xi Yang kept looking out the window and didn't say a word until the car stopped on the opposite side of the camp and Huo Ci stretched out his hand to pat him, then he came back to his senses, and instead of getting out of the car immediately, he suddenly asked, "Is there any smoke?"

Huo Ci was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took out a box of crumpled Marlboro from the armrest box between the seats, and gave one to Xi Yang.

Then he started looking for fire again.

"Fuck, no fire...I'm quitting smoking recently..."

Seeing him rummaging around in a hurry, Xi Yang stopped him and handed the cigarette back to him: "It's okay, forget it."

"Yes!" Huo Ci didn't answer, but still maintained a bent posture, and took out a windproof ignition stick in a transparent plastic bag from the glove box in front of Xi Yang's seat.

"Uh, I'm sorry, there's only this, and it's the evidence to be submitted for inspection..."

"It's okay." Xi Yang opened half of the car window, turned to face Huo Ci, and sucked the cigarette into his lips.

The red Marlboro is powerful and mellow. It was the first time Xi Yang smoked a cigarette, and after only one puff, he coughed up tears as soon as his lungs passed.

"Ahem..." He waved his hands to disperse the smoke, and asked Huo Ci in a hoarse voice, "...Forget it...Is there an ashtray?"

The smoke was left on the car by a colleague last night.In order to eliminate it from the root cause, the ashtray and igniter in the car have been thrown away, and there is no container such as a water cup in the car. Huo Ci simply took it and stuffed it into his mouth in line with the principle of not wasting or throwing away. inside.

"That...Ren Ying..." Xi Yang rubbed his red eyes and asked intermittently, "Is her name Ren Ying? How is she?"

Huo Ci exhaled a puff of smoke towards the window, and suddenly felt that the uncomfortable feeling in his chest during this period disappeared instantly.

"The baby was not saved. There was a spiral umbilical cord, lack of blood flow in the umbilical artery, and the fetus was small. When I arrived at the hospital that day, there was some backflow. Anyway, the prognosis was not good, so I had to induce labor."

Xi Yang was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Maybe it's a good thing."

"Well, maybe. The lad was nice to her, and they'll have kids of their own someday."

In the future... a word that sounds ironic to Xi Yang right now.

Another small, innocent life lost.Xi Yang thought of Zhou Tong again, and thought of Tu Ke and him rescuing Ren Ying's mother and son that day, and wondered what he would think and say when he knew this unsatisfactory ending with countless possible endings.

His ideas are always so special, different from most people.

Are you training?Still learning?He disappeared for most of the day without saying hello, he would be...very angry, right?

The pain of parting had just begun, but I was thinking about him almost every minute.

Huo Ci was also silent.White smoke filled the spacious compartment, acrid and dazzling.Xi Yang sat in a daze, thinking, but didn't realize that Zhou Tong, who was holding a cardboard box in his arms, was standing at the gate of the camp, looking at him in the car as well as the people around him, who had witnessed him trying to smoke. The whole process failed.

It should be said that it was the whole process of him and Huo Ci crossing their heads, overlapping their figures, and smoking a cigarette together.

Zhou Tong stood for a long time and looked at it for a long time. He even suspected that he was hallucinating. He didn't want to admit what he had seen. , has not come out.

What happened in the past half a day, he really doesn't care at all, doesn't think about it at all, hasn't he thought of me?

And I think about him every minute.

Didn't he say... As long as I behave well, it won't happen in the future?

What did I do wrong to put too much pressure on him?Or was he frightened by my uncontrollable behavior the night before and trying to run away from me?

What worries can't you tell me?Am I not the one who can make him open up?I can also smoke with him...

Zhou Tong couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know how to analyze it correctly.He has no experience in dealing with this kind of problem, and he has never talked about such a different, unpredictable, and inseparable love.

He looked at Xiaobian, who was panting weakly in the cardboard box, and then at the mobile phone he had just smuggled out. After a while, he slowly deleted a string of numbers that he had pressed 10 minutes ago, and dialed another one that was not saved in the communication. In the record, he deliberately forgot the familiar number.
