"I'm going...to find him!" Lao Cao looked out the window, and the lingering shadow in his memory suddenly appeared so clear and thorough at this moment.There was hope in his eyes, and tears.

"He's gone." Cao Wenxi leaned on her father's shoulder, repeating those cold words in a comforting tone, "Uncle, he's gone!"

"Who said that!" Lao Cao yelled, "He just disappeared, but he is still there, and I can still feel that he must still be there. That phone call must be from Cheng'er!"

Cao Wenxi looked at her father helplessly, and turned around deliberately not to look at the expression on his father's face that she had almost never seen due to excitement and confusion, "You have been a public security policeman for so many years, you should know What does it mean to be missing for so long, nine out of ten..."

"Shut up!" Lao Cao was angry, really angry. As a daughter, Cao Wenxi had never even seen her father so angry with her, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.She left the living room silently, and went out without looking back.Only Lao Cao, with two cold tears sliding down his face, he took out the photo of Zicheng from his pocket, and stroked it with his big rough hands.

The long vacation has already been booked, and he is going to leave tomorrow. He checked the place where the number belongs. Although it is in a remote border mountainous area far away from here, his intuition tells him that the person who made the call must be his prime minister. Son.At this moment, he slumped on the sofa, lit a lonely cigarette, and smoked it one mouthful at a time.

……

Under the moonlight, the endless grassland was blowing with cold wind.Inside the small tent, there was a pair of eyes blurred by tears. The endless story was finally finished under my last choking.

This military doctor from the army is not facing his patients at this moment, nor the students he is lecturing in the military academy, but a heartbroken young man who has fallen into the deepest abyss for love, even his young All gone.He was still thinking about how the love between two men, one old and one young, could reach such a level. Is such a transcendence just love? , but it seemed that it was far more than that simple. It was the first time he was moved by something other than work, but he still didn't want to believe that it was also called love.

But he still shed tears, he was very concerned about this kind of moving, for many years, he was almost never moved to tears by anything, but this young man in front of him who was neither human nor ghost really moved him.He held my hand, looked at me firmly and said, "Trust me, Uncle will try his best to help you and bring you back to your...uncle...side!"

Tears fell from my eyes as I nodded.I don't want him to see me like this, I finally started to care about what other people think of me, I don't want to let him know that I am so cowardly, he is not Uncle Tian.In his eyes, this is not cowardice, but maybe another kind of strength, a great strength.

He said he needed to take me back to town for a full physical examination and then a diagnosis.The changes in some aspects of the face and body are not impossible to cure, but he is sure that it will be a long-term process, but he seems very confident, which also gave me a glimmer of hope in despair.

Early the next morning, I followed him into the deep mountains. He came to collect some medicines. The names of many medicines that I had never heard of seemed to be very precious, as if they could be found here.Of course, I have no research on medicines, but he always loves to tell me in detail one by one, which bunch of herbs is what kind of medicine, what effect, etc. He never tires of taking me as his student, because His surname is He, so I simply call him Mr. He, so at least it's not as strange as calling him uncle now.

"This is wild aloe vera fungus. You should have heard that extracting the essence of aloe vera can beautify the face, and this is more medicinal than ordinary aloe vera, but it needs to be used, otherwise there will be more adverse reactions .” He said while cutting with a knife.

I followed him and watched him silently, listening to his eloquent narration, without much reflection.

"You know, I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and climbing these mountains is no problem for me. How about you, you look pretty good."

"It's okay." I'm actually very tired, but now I almost forgot how to show the pain and tiredness on my face.Before we knew it, we had climbed to the top of a big mountain.The scenery here is very beautiful. There are colorful chrysanthemums blooming everywhere, against the green grass. The clouds seem to be very close to you. They float over your head slowly with the breeze. Looking up, you can see the winding road below the mountain. , ravines, rolling ups and downs in the distance, and cloud-shrouded mountains and forests looming.I couldn't help walking towards the edge of the mountain, feeling the bliss of the breeze blowing against my face. At this moment, at this moment, I seemed to be able to forget everything, even myself, but helplessly, deep in my mind, there was still a The figure in the uniform with the big brim of the hat was smiling at me, and tears of disappointment blurred my eyes again.

"What are you doing, be careful!" Uncle He's voice came from behind, and I was already crying selflessly.

"Dangerous!" Uncle He yelled again. When I turned my head with tears in my eyes, the soil under my feet suddenly loosened, and quickly slid towards the edge of the cliff. Falling down the cliff.When I saw that the foreground was slowly disappearing, a hand held me tightly.

"Don't let go, hold my hand!" It was a very familiar voice, I stared blankly at the head protruding from the edge of the cliff, and I thought of another voice, child, hold my hand...it's Uncle Tian .

"I'll save your baby, catch it!"

"Hmm!" I smiled and cried, "Uncle Tian, ​​is that you?"

"It's okay, I'll pull you up right away!"

"I believe in you, uncle, I am not afraid of anything with you!"

There was a strong pity and pity in those tense eyes.I saw that he mustered all his strength, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he pulled hard, but the soil on the edge loosened again.This time, the two of them rolled down together.But at the last moment, he hugged a tree stump on the edge of the cliff with both hands, and his feet were tightly clamped on both sides of my stomach, and I hugged his legs hard.

"Hold on!" He struggled to take off the bamboo building with the medicine on his back, and threw it down the cliff.Looking at me, "What I promise you, I will definitely do!"

Is it still Uncle Tian? I looked at the face under the camouflage military uniform in confusion. He was struggling to climb up, not letting go of anything that could be grasped, rocks, vine roots, and even thorny thorns.

I remembered when Uncle Tian left, "You finally hugged me again..." I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. For a moment, I even wanted to let go of his legs and let myself fall like this.However, he is so firm in his commitment, I have no right to say no.Perhaps, is that a soldier's trait?

When he really did it, the moment he climbed to the top of the mountain with all his strength, and looked at me with sweat and laughed, I couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged him, I hugged him tightly with both hands Leaning tightly against his back, tears wet his collar.He was very surprised, almost staring at me dumbfounded, but after a while, I felt his hands gradually resting on my shoulders.

It was only when that confused face suddenly became calm and calm that I realized that he was not Uncle Tian who had gone away. I unnaturally broke free from his hands. I already owed Uncle Tian so much. There is no way to make up for the pain, does God still want me to do it again?

"I'm sorry, I almost hurt you, the medicine you picked..." I looked at him apologetically.But he laughed boldly, "It's nothing, as long as people are safe. Haha, you kid, you have some mental problems, why do you always like to run to such dangerous places!"

"Maybe, I think I might be a little nervous!"

"I told you not to think so much, okay, you can see your dad again... your uncle..." Every time he mentioned my "uncle", there seemed to be some inexplicable pauses, because he couldn't Do you understand and accept it, or still feel a little unnatural, I don't know, I only know that he never showed any unusualness because of this.

"Thank you!" I said to him from the bottom of my heart.

I forced him to stay for a few more days until he had enough herbs to gather.Finally, he finally took me on the journey back to the city. The moment I boarded the train, I was looking into the distance. I seemed to be able to see the land under the platform. Uncle Tian smiled at me honestly and waved. I say goodbye.The sound of the train whistle interrupted my thoughts, and the time for getting on and off the passengers did not last long. When the train roared to the distance, I closed my eyes tiredly.And another shadow just got off the train.As soon as his feet set foot on this land, he stood there sluggishly and lost his mind.

"Cheng'er, are you here?" He muttered silently
