Heart fire

Tu Ke is very disgusted with any exposed emotions, not only between men and women, but also between parents and children.So, when he watched the wealthy and well-rounded Wen Jinbao and his wife rush into the ward, hugged their baby son and checked him up and down repeatedly until he confirmed that the number of hairs he had broken off definitely did not exceed the normal metabolic standard, and then he began to sigh with emotion At Wanqian, the first reaction was that he didn't even want to say hello, so he hugged his injured arm and slipped to the base of the wall to escape quickly.

Comrade Wen Jinbao was quick to catch him, and he and the weeping mother Wen held his hands one by one.

"This is the leader, right? You're causing trouble to the leader! Our Wen family's [-]th generation is single-handed, without you, we would have died on this child! You are the savior of our Wen family..."

Tu Ke laughed dryly, thinking what would be wrong with the [-]th generation single passer, to do firefighting?Who ruined whom...

Wen Jinbao is a typical honest businessman who does business in a traditional way, and does not have any rich and powerful capital on him. On the contrary, he looks like an ordinary citizen. A little trace of affluent life, otherwise who would believe that this middle-aged man with empty hands and not even a standard purse under his arm is a man with billions of dollars. The ship boss of the industry.

Mother Wen's dress is also very simple, but it is not difficult to see from a well-maintained face that is crying pear blossoms and rain, she is a simple-minded, well-protected and pampered wife, and her son can be scared by a fall. It made her look pale, not to mention her reaction if she knew that he had passed through the gate of hell more than once, and died on the spot.

Looking at them, Tu Ke seemed to suddenly understand where Wen Yue's unyielding and soft temperament came from.

In fact, compared to the emotional family members at the scene of the fire, the performance of Wen Jinbao and his wife was not special, but Tu Ke was inexplicably moved.He dealt with it awkwardly and clumsily, and took the time to glance at Wen Yue, which meant that you should hurry up and persuade him not to let his parents come all the way and just stand there nodding and bowing like this.

As expected, Wen Yue understood immediately, pulled away her parents' clenched hands, and scolded in a low voice: "Oh, don't shake him like this, his left hand is hurt! I feel bad for shaking him!"

Wen's father and Wen's mother stopped quickly: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... My son has really grown up, and he knows how to love others!"

Tu Ke: "..."

After being polite for a long time, the four of them finally sat down within a radius centered on Tu Ke's hospital bed.Wen Yue took out a tissue and handed it to her mother, and waited for her to calm down before asking carefully, "Why are you here?"

Mother Wen kicked Father Wen next to him, and Father Wen quickly cleared his throat, pretending to be stern and asked: "If we don't come, how long are you going to hide from us, you ghost coffin?"

Then he smiled at Tu Ke: "The women in our small place can't speak, the leader doesn't mind."

Tu Ke waved his hand to signal that it's okay, hesitated for a moment, and began to lie for Wen Yue in a roundabout way: "Well, Wen Yue did a particularly good job this time, and this, how should I put it, is very brave and witty, um... ..."

When he said that, not only Wen's father and Wen's mother, but even Wen Yue looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief, as if he didn't understand and didn't know who he was talking about.After a while, Wen's mother closed her mouth and asked her husband in disbelief, "Is the leader praising our son?"

Wen Dad: "It seems... yes?"

Tu Ke: "..."

Uncle Tu who doesn't draft drafts is rarely so clumsy.He simply stopped talking, intending to be a boring gourd that could only enter and not exit, and let Wenyue fend for himself.He neither knows how to deal with this kind of scene, nor is he used to hearing his father and mother full of doting reproaches. He is as uncomfortable as a fish landed on the shore, as if he entered the wrong house and was forced to watch other people's family being intimate. , Living in harmony is the same as fidgeting.

This was an atmosphere that had never existed in his deserted home where there were always endless quarrels at the dinner table.

Thinking of these days of worrying about sleeping and eating, Dad Wen was so angry that he stretched out his hands and twisted Wen Yue's ears: "There is no news for more than ten days, and your mother and I are going crazy! I think you are deliberately trying to make us less Live for ten years!"

But he was angry, and after he was angry, he still calmly explained the process of coming here.

It turned out that on the third day after losing contact with Wen Yue, Mother Wen couldn't sit still. She called the team and only got a reply from the police of the whole team.But it's only been three days, Dad Wen is too embarrassed to bother others about such a small matter, but he can't bear to wash his face with tears every day, so he has to bite the bullet and ask, but the other party tells him that there is discipline in the army, and he will contact the police when he is dispatched. It's normal not to go up, and the family will be notified if something happens.

That being the case, we can only wait.A week passed, Wen Yue's phone was always turned off, and Wen's mother couldn't eat all day long, and couldn't sleep all night. Five days later, she simply fainted and went to the hospital, and lay in the hospital for two more days. Booked a plane ticket, and without telling the old man at home, brought Dad Wen to Beilin.

As soon as they got off the plane, the couple went straight to the secret service, and staged a touching and touching scene of searching for a child in the duty room.A group of soldiers who were training were dumbfounded, and in desperation had no choice but to tell the truth: Wen Yue accidentally fell from a tree while digging out a bird's nest. He was fine but injured the captain.

Wen Yue: "..."

According to Wen Ma's recollection, it was the two team members who were tall and strong, spoke a northern accent, and were small and small-eyed, and described the incident to them vividly.At this point, Wen's mother began to cry again: "Son, mother will no longer object to you raising chickens. When you return home from the army, let your father build a chicken farm for you..."

Dad Wen acted like a competent translator, and hurriedly explained to Tu Ke: "On the way to the hospital, his mother analyzed that this debt-collecting ghost went up a tree to dig out birds. It might be because we refused to buy chicken cubs at the school gate when he was a child, and left behind a complex. .Leader, you see that he is still a child, so don't worry about him. I know you praised him for being brave and witty to give us face. Don't worry, we understand that how can you be brave and witty when you climb a tree to pick a bird? Take him to a psychiatrist to see his brain."

Wen Yue: "..."

Wen Ma turned her head and glared at her husband with some dissatisfaction, and then added: "We Yueyue's brains are still very sharp, but we are spoiled and can't do anything. We must not take good care of you. Can you see if this is okay? His father and I will invite someone else, and we will take care of you together. You must never punish him, he likes small animals, and he is quite obedient and caring."

Tu Ke: "..."

After the disturbance of this family, Huo Ci's boredom caused by the phone call seemed to be relieved a lot. In the end, Tu Ke became more interested, and made Wen Yue make two cups of tea, and chatted with Wen's father all over the world. .Wen Yue, on the other hand, pushed the two of them out of the door before all the trivial things from childhood to adulthood were found out, and told them to book tickets to go home quickly, and don't make trouble for him here.

Father Wen didn't want to finish, he held the door frame to say goodbye to Tu Ke, told him to visit Jiang Zhou's house whenever he had the chance, and invited him to drink the good tea he had treasured.Wen's mother took out her mobile phone to transfer money to her son, and told him to buy some clothes that fit the size when he was resting. Don't dress like this to embarrass yourself in front of the leader. At the end, she whispered, son, your leader's hair is a bit long .

Wen Yuehu fanned his two too long sleeves and pushed and shoved: "What do you know! I like him like this!"

...

It was Wang Jiao and Du Wei who made up the hype about Wen's father and Wen's mother.The trainer was not there at the time, and no one had experience in dealing with this kind of family members coming to ask for someone, so the two were still complacent until the end of the training when the equipment was collected, and they asked Zhou Tong who was standing in a daze at the warehouse door: "Hey, what do you think of the two of us?" How was the performance in the afternoon? It was flawless, was it perfect?"

When Wen Yue's parents came, Zhou Tong was hanging out with a few teammates on the training tower, but even if they met, he didn't know how to explain it, and the effect might not be as good as the rhetoric of Wang Jiao and Du Wei.He quickly glanced at the iron frame covered with fire extinguishing suits in the far corner of the warehouse, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate, as if being scalded by something scorching hidden behind it, he quickly put it back, and smiled slightly: "Definitely!" Yes, after I change jobs, I can make a cross talk debut with my partner."

Hearing what he said, the two people with very different sizes looked at each other with satisfaction, and agreed that this was a good proposal.

Others were moving things, but Zhou Tong stood still at the door, handed the two hoses to Du Wei, and left early on the pretext of feeling unwell.

During the holiday that just passed, everyone was so exhausted that even Deputy Team Zheng stopped for a few days, he stopped holding his teaching stick and punishing everyone he saw, and he didn't conduct any surprise internal affairs inspections in the middle of the night. , whereabouts are elusive, I don't know what I'm busy with.

There was no physical training at night, Zhou Tong took a bath and changed his clothes, and before leaving the bathroom, he quietly walked to the last row of lockers, opened the leftmost and topmost compartments, and took out an osmanthus cowhide from his pocket Sugar, put it with another small pile of sugar in the cupboard.

Soldiers don't have so much to store when they take a shower, and usually no one comes here, and these cabinets are usually not used.Zhou Tong was suddenly a little reluctant to leave. He gently moved the candies with his fingers and counted silently, one, two, three... Including today's one, there are eighteen in total.

Eighteen candies that no one cares about, eighteen days when I lost contact with him and waited hard without any response.

It was a long time after that day that Zhou Tong gradually woke up from his muddled state, remembering every heartbreaking word Xi Yang said at that time, facing his attitude of turning a blind eye when he passed by these days, and the door in the office. The door was locked all night, and the candy piled up in the locker. Finally, he began to realize that this untenable relationship between him and him had been resolutely marked by him.

Zhou Tong didn't understand that Xi Yang had spent so much time and courage to walk into his world, yet he was able to leave so simply and completely, as if he had planned it for a long time, leaving no room for him, and not giving him any chance to save him.But even so, he didn't want to believe it, he didn't believe that their heartbeats were boiling for each other, the eyes of love and trust that only each other could capture, those moments full of warmth, the moments of life and death, the moments of soul intercommunication, Even the emotional evidence that still remains in the palm of his hand is all fake, and it's all just playing alone for too long as he said.But no matter how bad the lie is against his will, what right does he have to doubt it?The person who destroyed everything with his own hands, hurt him, and forced him away was himself. All the apologies were so feeble that even he couldn't convince or forgive him.

But he persisted.

Winter is coming, the days are short and the nights are long, the box of candy is running out, but Zhou Tong still doesn't want to give up.

Recently, the food level in the team has dropped significantly. The food is either too salty or too bland, and it is not as varied as before.Zhou Tong had no appetite. After walking around, he only took a spoonful of rice and a few pieces of potatoes. He brought them to the table and sat down. He looked up with vague hopes, but once again he did not find the trainer in the crowd as expected. .

After dinner, the cafeteria gradually disappeared, so Zhou Tong stayed to help clean up the kitchen. After Fang Jianhua left, he cooked a bowl of scallion oil noodle soup from memory, and carefully brought it to the office door.

Knowing that it was useless, he still came.The door of the office was unexpectedly unlocked this time, and the lights were on, but there was no one inside.Zhou Tong opened the door and went in, put the noodles on Xi Yang's table, examined the table quietly for a long time, and finally found the last uncleaned item among the few neatly arranged items, which had traces of his previous visits. .

Thinking of the suicide note in "A Brief History of Time", Zhou Tong reached out to get it, but inadvertently, his eyes fell on a document next to him with his name written on it.

From doubt at the beginning to shock later, and finally developed into anger and disbelief, Zhou Tong almost turned over these pages trembling.When he saw the approval receipt of the general team and the blank space where the applicant signed, he couldn't bear it any longer. He immediately grabbed the documents in his hand and planned to rush out, to the dormitory, to the playground, to the training room, to every day. Find him in a corner where Xi Yang might be hiding, and ask him what he wants, how can he forgive?Why make such a decision privately, why use this method, this way to drive him away! ?

But just when he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and was about to do the next step, someone behind him suddenly spoke, and the gloomy voice seemed a little creepy in the quiet environment.

Zheng Jiang, who did not know when he entered the office, stared suspiciously at Zhou Tong and the things in his hand with his sinister eyes.

"Who allowed you to come to the office so late to peek at your superior's documents? Tired of work?"

Zhou Tong was left speechless by the question, and couldn't explain clearly with a hundred mouths.He frowned and bit his lower lip, his face was full of anger that was too late to hide, flushed due to excessive emotion, and the hand hanging by his side suddenly tightened, crumpling the document into a ball.

Zhou Tong looked at Zheng Jiang, and suddenly had the urge to punch him, break his nose heavily, smash his teeth, smash his malicious face, and have a hard fight with him .

However, when Zheng Jiang raised his teaching stick and Zhou Tong was furious, another voice sounded outside the door, breaking the momentary tense atmosphere.

"it's me."

As soon as the words fell, Xi Yang, who was wearing a lean training uniform and whose hair was still dripping, walked in. He didn't take a look at Zhou Tong, but walked over to block him. He asked in a light tone: "Do you want to touch my people in front of me? If Deputy Team Zheng is tired of work, try it."
