Dependent Origination and Destiny - The History of the Present

The speeding train passes through the winding mountains.The joint between the steel wheels and the rails made a monotonous and unified sound.There is an empty seat at the rear of the crowded hard-seat train carriage, and there is only a camouflage luggage bag on it.

Shi Jinwo sobbed loudly in the dirty bathroom, naturally there was a limit to dryness.He wiped away the tears again, but looked out the window and sobbed loudly again.

He stopped suddenly.Looking out of the window, the vast expanses of fields, fields and mountains are paved into a splendid world by the setting sun. The farmers are returning home, the road workers are watching, the car outside the guardrail is honking at the train aimlessly, and the middle-aged man is trying to see Under the skirt of the girl riding a bicycle in front, the vegetable boss chased Huanglian Po and tried to get a sweet potato from her basket.Shi Jin watched, as if seeing all this for the first time.A smile gradually appeared on his face, and he suddenly saw a world he had never seen when he was wearing military uniform.

After the train entered the station, Shi Jin picked up his simple luggage and walked out of the bustling train station.The red flower of "honorably discharged" on the luggage was removed by him long ago and stuffed into the luggage.After serving as a soldier for nine years, he has already gotten used to the neat and uniform green barracks. Now that he has retired from the army, he has to learn to adapt to this colorful world again.

The car was running on the road leading to his hometown, and he had been a soldier for nine years, but he only took one family leave to go home, and that time has been five years since now.Shi Jin looked out of the window, and the old urban and rural towns that were imprinted in his memory were no longer what they were before. Now there are many buildings flashing past the window, and the small shops facing the street are all equipped with colorful neon lights on the gates. , although the scale is small, it is also small and exquisite.

The car continued to speed forward, and gradually moved away from the busy town. Rows of poplar trees passed by at high speed, and the road gradually became difficult to walk. The car jumped forward on the road.

"Boy, lend some money to the old men!"

"I, I, I have no money, really..."

"No money? Shall I stab you a few times to help you remember and think about whether you have money?"

Just as Shi Jin was falling asleep amidst the vibration of the car, suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the front of the car.He opened his eyes and saw a few sleazy men asking passengers for money from the front of the car.

Met a car bandit!

Shi Jin frowned, he knew that this road had not been very peaceful, but he didn't expect to run into it today.

Shi Jin turned around and looked at the carriage. Everyone lowered their heads, and some even pulled their hats over their faces, pretending not to see them.The driver stepped on the accelerator very quickly, as if he hadn't noticed the "drama" that was happening behind him at all.

"Hurry up, hand over the money, or I will give you a few holes!"

"Stop!" Shi Jin yelled and stood up: "You guys get out of the car immediately!"

"Yo! Brother Bing, do you want to be a hero?" The leader of the chariot bandit smirked fiercely, while fiddling with the sharp knife in his hand, he said viciously, "But it's not easy to be a hero, so be careful with your life! Second son, teach me a lesson. That grandson."

The little bastard named Er Zi heard the boss's order, and leaned towards Shi Jin while playing swordsman.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, you guys return the money and get out of the car immediately!" Shi Jin opened his posture—a one-on-five, trying his luck.

"I'll send you to see Hades first!" The car bandit named Erzi rushed up, brandishing a knife with all his teeth and claws.

Shi Jin turned sideways to dodge the oncoming murder weapon, swiped his palm and snatched the knife from the second son, and then slammed him hard on the back of the neck, knocking one down immediately, and turned around to focus on the remaining four. .

Everyone was overwhelmed by Shi Jin's neat skills.

"Damn! If the tiger doesn't show its power, you still treat me as a sick cat!" The leader of the car bandit was the first to react, "Brothers, let's go together!"

With an order, the remaining car bandits waved their knives and rushed towards Shi Jin with all their teeth and claws.

Shi Jin dodges from left to right, and has to be careful not to hurt the passengers.But those car bandits didn't care so much, they poked at Shi Jin fiercely.

"Aww!" A man sitting by the aisle was slashed by a knife in the chaos, and howled like a pig.

Immediately with a "pop", an egg hit Shi Jin squarely in the face: "You stinking soldier! You fucking want to provoke them and don't drag us into the water!" It was the man's wife who threw the egg, She was the one who begged the gangsters for mercy just now.

Shi Jin was caught off guard by the oncoming misfortune, his eyes flickered, his skills froze, and the car bandit closest to him immediately took the opportunity to stab him with a knife.

"Boom!" Before the car bandit's knife touched Shi Jin, he felt his hand holding the knife being grabbed, and there were bursts of sharp pain from his wrist.But before he could cry out in pain, someone slashed his neck severely, and immediately lost consciousness, passed out and fell to the ground.

"Has no one told you that restricted knives are not allowed to be carried in the car?" A clear female voice sounded beside Shi Jin.

The leader of the car bandits looked at the girl who suddenly stood up with some trepidation. Just now he barely saw the girl's movements clearly, and his subordinate had already fallen to the ground.He forced himself to calmly ask her: "Smelly girl, who are you?"

"Me?" The girl rolled her eyes and glanced at the remaining three car bandits with disdain, then said two words with a chuckle, "Police!"

"Don't be so fucking nonsense, you're going to scare me when I'm an old man!" The car bandit saw that she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, so he clenched his knife tightly to embolden himself.

Shi Jin wiped off the egg white and light yellow that were scattered on his face, and then he saw the girl standing beside him in a white T-shirt with short ear-length hair.

The girl stared at the car bandit, smiled and said to him: "Two vs. three, happy cooperation!"

"You, you are looking for death!" The leader of the car bandit panicked, holding a knife and ordered to the only two remaining men, "Let's go together, stab them to death!"

Shi Jin once again used his bare-handed knives to snatch the oncoming knife and stunned another car bandit.At the same time, the girl also brought down a car bandit again, and then quickly rushed towards the last car bandit, using a grappling hand to knock him down to the ground.

Shi Jin and the girl found ropes to tie up the car thieves, and then the girl smiled at him and said, "I'll leave it to you to take care of it temporarily." After she finished speaking, she walked towards the driver's seat.

The passengers in the car immediately became overwhelmed when they saw the bandits being tied up. People clamored to get back the money they had robbed, and some even shouted to kill the bandits.

"Shut up!" The girl suddenly yelled coldly, "Now you know how excited? Why did you all die when the gangsters robbed you just now? If you want to get your money back, wait until you get to the police station. Who will tell you now?" Don't blame me for being rude!" She looked around the carriage coldly, and the passengers were frightened by her cold eyes, and all of them fell silent immediately.

The girl turned her head and walked to the driver, and said to the driver, "Go to the nearest police station."

But the driver refused. He said: "Our passenger transportation company has regulations. Passenger vehicles must leave on time and arrive at the station on time. If you arrive at the station overtime, you will be fined!"

The girl pondered for a few seconds, then she suddenly smiled and approached the driver, whispering a few words in his ear.From a distance, Shi Jin saw the driver turn pale, and nodded unnaturally, then the girl came back with a smile on her face.

He went to the police station to record a statement. Shi Jin saw that the girl kept praising the driver in front of the police, even saying that he was acting bravely and took the initiative to drive the car to the police station.

After recording the statement, Shi Jin saw the girl standing at the gate of the police station with a backpack on her back.So he went up and said hello to the girl.

The girl turned her head and saw that it was him, and smiled at him.She said, "Shi Jin."

Shi Jin was taken aback for a moment, and he said in surprise, "How do you know my name?"

The girl said, "I overheard you when you were recording your statement. My name is Bai Ruo."

Shi Jin nodded to her, and the two got into the car together.

The driver hadn't come back yet. Shi Jin thought of Bai Ruo's situation after subduing the gangster, so he couldn't help asking: "Didn't the driver refuse to come to the police station at first? What did you tell him later? I think his face is pale." gone."

Bai Ruo said: "I didn't say anything, I just told him to give him two choices, either he drove the car to the police station by himself, or I knocked him unconscious, and then I drove the car over, but this way He might not be able to speak clearly in front of the police. So he thought about it seriously and chose one."

Shi Jin looked at her dumbfounded, and said, "How could you do this? Aren't you messing around? Besides, aren't you afraid that he will sue you at the police station?"

Bai Ruo smiled, and she said, "He is doing what is right now, why sue me?"

Shi Jin said, "But it's always not good for you to do this."

Bai Ruo said: "Our purpose is to send the gangsters to the police station and hand them over to the police, and we also need witnesses to testify. I admit that my approach is really not very authentic, but at least the facts have proved that it is effective—— Grandpa said , It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.”

Shi Jin is silent, although he does not agree with Bai Ruo's way of doing things, but he has to admit that her way is indeed effective.

"Don't worry, comrades in the People's Liberation Army, I won't do anything illegal—because I'm a policeman," Bai Ruo said, and then added with a smile, "In the future."

Shi Jin said, "Are you a student of the police academy?"

"Yeah." Bai Ruo nodded, "I'll graduate next year."

Because of the car bandit incident, the car arrived at the station nearly two hours late.After leaving the station, Bai Ruo said goodbye to Shi Jin with a smile and left with her bag on her back.Shi Jin also picked up the bag and walked in the direction of his memory.

When he got home, Shi Jin opened the door and called his parents.

Shi Gui responded and came out of the main room. When he saw that Shi Jin was back, he was so excited that he ran over and grabbed his son's hand, and asked repeatedly: "Is the fourth child back? Are you willing to go home and have a look?" ?”

Shi Jin looked at his father, whose back was already a little bent, and his eyes couldn't help but get a little moist.He said: "Dad, I'm back, and I will honor you at home from now on."

"What's the matter?" Shi Gui was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up again, he realized that Shi Jin's epaulettes and collar emblem had disappeared. He asked anxiously, "Did you make any mistakes? What happened to the badge on your shoulder?" Are they all gone?"

"Dad, I didn't make a mistake." Shi Jin supported his father, he said, "Being a soldier has never been a lifetime thing. When the time is up, you should come back. Your son is just when the time is up."

Shi Gui was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile at his son, and said: "It's fine to come back, it's fine to come back. In this way, your mother won't have to keep nagging in front of me that she doesn't know what the fourth child is doing." That's it."

Shi Jin couldn't help being sad, he said, "Dad, let's go into the house and talk, I will be at home from now on."

"Yes, yes, let's go into the room and talk about it." Shi Gui nodded and took the bag from Shi Jin's hand.

Shi Jin said, "Dad, I'll do it myself, Bao Zhong."

Shi Gui stared and said, "What's the weight? Back then, I was the strongest person in our village. I couldn't carry a small bag like you?"

Shi Jin smiled and handed the bag to his father.The bag is not heavy. For a veteran who has been in the army for nine years, he does not have much luggage, but there are only a few sets of old military uniforms with the epaulets and collar badges removed.

Shi Gui carried his bag and walked into the house, saying as he walked, "Your mother has gone to the boss. If she knows you're back, she'll be so happy."

Shi Jin walked behind his father, feeling a little guilty. After so many years, he only came back once. He has always made his elderly parents miss him.He said, "Dad, from now on, you and Mom will be able to watch me every day."

After resting all night, Shi Jin went to the county seat the next day and handed over his materials to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shi Jin walked slowly on the road.As a transferred non-commissioned officer, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau told him that generally they would arrange for him to work as a security guard in some institutions.He was not satisfied or dissatisfied with this arrangement. He thought that if he was really arranged to be a security guard, then he would try his best to do his best.

"Shi Jin." A sudden shout interrupted his thoughts.Shi Jin turned his head, and then he saw Bai Ruo.

"Should you hand in the materials at the Civil Affairs Bureau?" Bai Ruo walked up to him and asked with a smile.

Shi Jin said, "Yes, why are you here?"

Bai Ruo said: "I was looking for someone near here, and I was about to leave now, but I saw you unexpectedly."

Shi Jin smiled and said, "I'm going to the station and I'm going home."

Bai Ruo said, "Then let's go together, I'm going to the station too."

So the two walked side by side in the direction of the station.

Walking on the road, Shi Jin said: "Listen to your accent, you are not from the north."

Bai Ruo nodded, and she said, "I'm from Hangzhou. I came to the Northeast to play during the summer vacation."

Shi Jin smiled and said, "What's so interesting about this little corner? If you want to go, you should also go to those scenic spots."

Bai Ruo said: "I'm not a tourist, I just like to play. And it's not necessarily only scenic spots that are worth visiting. Many places that are not scenic spots also have unexpectedly beautiful scenery."

"That's what you said." Shi Jin nodded and said.

Bai Ruo smiled, and then she suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, you have changed your job. What do you plan to do in the future?"

Shi Jin said: "The comrades in the Civil Affairs Bureau said that they might arrange for me to be a security guard."

Bai Ruo let out an oh, but said nothing more.

At the station, Bai Ruo bought a ticket to the city.Before parting, she gave Shi Jin a business card, and she said: "If you have time to go to the city to play, you can come here to find me, and I will treat you to tea."

Shi Jin looked at the business card in his hand, it was the business card of a teahouse.The name of this teahouse is very strange, it is called - Yuanqi Yuandie.The specific address of the teahouse is printed on the business card.Shi Jin nodded, and he said: "Okay, if I go to the city, I will visit you."
