into the sheath

It was getting dark early in early winter, it was only after five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already gray.Vehicles and aircraft flowed in their respective lanes, and some merchants lit up their signboards early, and the colorful lights suddenly lit up in this gray area, which was a bit dazzling.

"I'm still curious, how did you and your teacher meet?" Tang Heng said, "Li Qing told me something, he is your 'recommender', and he gave you a second chance to enter the military academy .”

The low-altitude waterway in the urban area is under the unified jurisdiction of the data center. At this time, there are not many aircraft in the waterway. Occasionally, one or two will pass by the porthole, like traffic signs that pass by on the highway from time to time.

Jiang Feng switched the driving mode to semi-automatic, and leaned on the back of the seat relaxedly.

"He is my recommender." Jiang Feng said, "This story...it's a long story."

"I would like to know."

Jiang Feng glanced at Tang Heng, met those bright black eyes, he looked at his clear reflection inside, paused, then lowered his eyes again.

Tang Heng didn't urge him, because he knew that he would tell him.

After a long period of silence, Jiang Feng let out a long breath, laughed at himself, and said, "At the beginning, it was my father who tampered with my wish,"

While speaking, Jiang Feng turned his gaze to the street scene in the distance ahead, and tapped his index finger on the armrest, as if digging in a long-lasting memory.

"So I chose to slow down my work as a revenge for my dissatisfaction. A year later, I got the news that he died in the mission, and at the same time I received the notice of withdrawal from the military academy. In the conventional sense, I am not a person who meets the requirements of the military department. A qualified guide, I still think so until now. I know my strength, even if I try my best, I may just be the most ordinary brick and tile, and I will not be able to reach the top on that road. Therefore, At that point, I simply chose to leave."

"I heard you say, Data Architect? Is that what you wanted to be in the first place?"

"It's about the same." Jiang Feng said, "Stay in a big company for a few years, and then start your own business or something; or go into academia, become an industry leader, and give lectures around the world if you have the energy."

Tang Heng couldn't help laughing, "Then maybe our first meeting will be at one of your speeches. I think this person is quite temperamental and handsome, so I just abducted you to bed."

A smile appeared in Jiang Feng's eyes, "It's possible."

Tang Heng asked again: "What happened next?"

"Later..." Jiang Feng paused, "Wen Jinghuan took the initiative to find me. He said that he would give me another chance to return to the military academy, but there was a condition: he was trying a new application method of guiding ability , need a volunteer to help him test."

"It doesn't sound alluring."

"Indeed. But his tone was sincere. He wanted me to help him."

Looking back at the past is like looking at flowers in a fog. Because you can't see it clearly, your subconscious will always shape it into what you want it to look like.

Even at this moment, Jiang Feng couldn't tell what kind of thoughts he had in mind when he made the choice.During those five months, Wen Jinghuan talked to him a lot, not only including the chance to return to the military academy, but also his past and his future.

Wen Jinghuan asked him: If there is a road in front of you that no one has ever traveled, and the end point is the summit of glory, will you take it?

Ask again: Do you remember your mother?Do you remember how she and your father were united?

He also said: I don't interfere with your choice, I just think you are the only one with such a talent, so it's a pity to miss it.

……

Jiang Feng couldn't remember many things clearly. After making that decision, he hadn't looked back at the reason for a long time.

"Maybe he wants to prove himself." Jiang Feng said.

To prove one's own strength, to prove that the guide is no worse than the sentinel, or to make up for the wasted two years, and to be unhappy with what happened to his mother.

The reason is that the woven hemp rope, with countless thin threads twisted into one strand, finally turned into what it is today.

Jiang Feng: "Later, after walking so far, there is no way out."

Wen Jinghuan is good at using speech skills, euphemistically speaking of many utilitarian purposes, and later, when the trough of countless "tests" comes, they all appear just right.

For a while, Jiang Feng did regard Wen Jinghuan as a "good teacher".

If only I hadn't seen the teenagers who were mentally damaged by the overexploitation of their potential later.

The guide doesn't have his own mental picture, Jiang Feng can only spread the details of the time to the sentinel little by little through his thoughts and images.He tightened Tang Heng's hand.The palms of the Sentinel's palms were dry, with slight calluses sticking to the skin, and a steady flow of warm temperature flowed in.

The excellent young man who was specially selected in the sanctuary, the residence that was set up alone, the rigidity that is completely different from the agility when they first met... and, when this matter was mentioned, the teacher's calm tone.

"This is the path they chose. Without them, you and the achievements of so many guides would not be there." Wen Jinghuan said, "You should know that this is a necessary sacrifice."

Jiang Feng's emotions came through the spiritual connection between them, like a ball of damp cotton wool, not sad, not sad, not angry, just dull and uncomfortable.

Tang Heng looked at Jiang Feng worriedly, "It's not your responsibility, you didn't know this when you chose..."

Jiang Feng shook his head.He stretched out his two fingers and pressed the center of his brows, pulling away from the suppressed emotions.

"Sorry, it affected you." Jiang Feng said, "It's all old things, but if you want to hear it, I will tell you."

Jiang Feng spoke in a flat tone, but Tang Heng somehow heard a hint of pampering, he touched the tip of his nose, and couldn't help lowering his voice, "Then, if you are curious about my past, you can also directly ask I'll be fine."

But you've pretty much seen it all in those memory bubbles anyway.Tang Heng cursed.

At this moment, the aircraft, which had been moving steadily, suddenly stopped, its altitude slowly dropped, and finally stopped at the side of the road.Tang Heng sensed movement and glanced out the porthole.

did not reach the destination.

"There was an accident ahead, and this block and the low-altitude airway were blocked."

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Tang Heng carefully looked at the scene before and after.Sure enough, they merged into the long queue of vehicles, and there was a sign of traffic police on duty not far away, which should have been processed.

Tang Heng did a general search on the terminal, but apart from a short traffic jam reminder suggesting a diversion in the real-time traffic conditions, he found no other news.

It's the peak travel time in the evening, and judging by the length of the queue, it feels like it won't be smooth for a while.

Tang Heng looked at Jiang Feng, "Will it delay you?"

"Fortunately, the rest of the time is reserved for you, there is no other arrangement."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Feng's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious.

"What's wrong?" Tang Heng asked.

"The cause of the accident ahead... The driver of the ambulance was driving fatigued and hit an ordinary aircraft on the way. The ambulance belongs to the First Hospital of the Tower and just answered the emergency call."

This accident did not last long, and after about 10 minutes, the road became clear again.Tang Heng deliberately checked the relevant news the next day, but there was only one short briefing.Therefore, Tang Heng didn't take this matter too seriously.

……

Three days later, Jiang Feng received a message from Wen Jinghuan.

Different from the usual mildness, Wen Jinghuan's voice from the earpiece sounded a little tired, and after digital signal processing, it became more and more hoarse.

Wen Jinghuan said: "Yao Yao wants to see you. Well, we're not at home, we're in the inpatient department of the special department of Tower One Hospital..."
