Swallowing the Seas

Is this a dream or reality?Bu Chonghua thought as he stood in the tunnel filled with smoke after being bombed.

If it is real, why did he come here?

If it was a dream, why was the cry so real and clear and within reach?

"Step team, step team, wake up, Xiao Wu, don't scare me, Xiao Wu..." "How is my brother, how is my brother! Brother!!" "Xiao Song, don't cry, come quickly One person helped her down..." "Lift it up and lift it up! Is the Jinhai City Hospital notified?! Are you ready for rescue?!"

There was a lot of voices, and the headlights were dazzling.The cries of fear floated in all directions with the wind, even covering the howling whirlwind set off by the propellers.

The comatose Bu Chonghua and Wu Yu were carried out of the mine by relay, and the special police rushed all the way to the helicopter carrying a stretcher, and then flew towards Jinhai City in the vast night sky.

"Is it so sad?" Bu Chonghua thought in a daze.

An unspeakable tingling pain rose from the bottom of his heart, making him involuntarily walk forward along the messy and rugged ground after the collapse, and saw the thin and familiar figure from ten years ago hunched over, hugging the person in his arms tightly , the whole body was trembling violently, the blood from the forehead flowed down the nose, mixed with hot tears, and hit the ground drop by drop:

"Don't... don't let me go, I have nowhere to go..."

The ground of the tunnel was shaken by the gunfire, dust fell from the top of their heads, and gravel the size of a fist fell to their feet with a bang, and the tunnel was in danger.

"Just let me stay here, and we can...go to that world...go home together..."

Bu Chonghua half-kneeled beside him, rubbing Wu Yu's cheeks with trembling hands, wiping away his hot tears that were like balls of tears: "You can't stay here, do you understand?"

Wu Yu trembled all over, and slowly raised his distracted gaze.

"You have to go out from here. You have to walk alone for ten years, go through many dangerous situations, arrest many vicious drug dealers, leave countless blood, meritorious deeds and legends on this land, and finally walk away with scars. Homeland...and then you can meet me in the far north, you know?"

"..."

Bu Chonghua looked at him, as if he was afraid of disturbing the dream, his voice was soft and gentle, but there was a strange choking sound at the end: "Shall I take you out?"

The iron wheels slid rapidly on the first-aid corridor, and the nurse leading the way dashed open the door of the first-aid room, and two first-aid stretchers entered one after another.

"This is the leader and colleagues of our Nancheng Sub-bureau detachment. During the arrest, they encountered an underground water leakage accident and inhaled poisonous gas..."

"Notify the blood room to prepare blood! The blood oxygen saturation is still dropping!"

"Where is the consent form? I am their family member, and I will sign the things!"

……

Before the gate could be closed, the red light for rescue came on.

"...Get out," Wu Yu murmured.

Ten years ago, he was much younger than Bu Chonghua imagined. His eyes were smooth, his complexion was very fair, his cheeks were soft because of his flesh, and patches of blood stained with black smoke dried on his forehead and side cheeks.

"But I can't get out..." He whispered like sleepwalking, "It's so chaotic outside, this world is not for people like us, there is nowhere to go..."

Bu Chonghua pulled his cold face hard and pressed it against his forehead: "It's not like Wu Yu, listen to me. No one outside has given up on you. Everything that happened now is actually wrong. As long as you get through this After one pass, no one can stop you or hurt you, and those who do evil will fear your name like ghosts and gods. Ten years later, you will personally arrest the culprit of all this in a mine, and you will live well to put the crimes to rest. Send it to the judgment seat, and bring your real name and Xie Xing's soul back to your homeland... Don't you want to see the future happen? Huh? Agui?"

Ah Gui's eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful and clear, the tip of his eyes is deep and long, and his eyes are black and white. There is a kind of light that penetrates from the bottom of his heart because he once had hope for the future.

But now that light has been swallowed by gunpowder smoke, dark and rich, half-melted into the shadows deep in the tunnel.

"...Forget it..." After an unknown amount of time, he finally said softly.

Bu Chonghua's hand that was pressing tightly on his cheek fell into the air, and he froze in mid-air. He lowered his head and hugged the already cold and stiff body tightly in his arms.

"I'm really tired, it hurts to walk..."

"……So be it……"

Bu Chonghua knelt there in a daze, countless anxious voices and equipment ticking in the void came from afar, and countless hands desperately pulled him, forcing him to stand up and retreat involuntarily.

"This one has a heartbeat!" "Blood pressure 8555!" "Blood oxygen is picking up!"

……

"What about me?" A pain from nowhere pierced his heart, and Bu Chonghua struggled to stand still. He heard his voice trembling amidst the rumble of artillery fire: "You rescued me from the fire, and saved me from the fire." I hid in that tree pit and made me wait for you for more than 20 years, and now you just hide in the ground without authorization and let me go alone?!"

Agui seemed to move.

He didn't seem to understand what Bu Chonghua was talking about, poked his head out of his fragile shell, and looked at the man in doubt and confusion.

"We investigated the case together and arrested people together. When the clues were cut off, we stayed head to head until dawn, and when life and death were at stake, we fought back to back. Didn't you say that I was your comrade in arms? Didn't you wear it yourself in the mine?" Ring, swear to treat me as your partner forever?!"

--ring.

As if a sleeping nerve was touched by these two words, Agui's expression changed slightly, and he looked down at his hand.

"You fucking fooled me like that?!" Bu Chonghua yelled furiously, "This is what you said forever?!"

The ring ring of the ring finger was cut into an irregular diamond shape, the edges and corners were slightly shiny, and each side was reflected in Agui's blank pupils.He who walked alone in ten years of wind and rain, stood in front of the Jinhai City Public Security Bureau and tried his best to look up at the police badge, who was afraid and hid in the dark amidst the red and blue lights, and spent all night searching for clues for the first time His……

"'Bath in Yi, the wind dances with the fish, sing and return'—" A gentle and kind female voice read each word in the ear, and then explained: "It is the breeze blowing in the comfortable and peaceful world, singing songs, I mean go home happily."

"My mother passed away the year the Mengtai army surrendered, and the cancer relapsed, but she left that photo to me." Xie Xing said with red eyes, "She asked me to find you, Agui, Let me bring you back from beyond the poppy field to this world."

"You're the new Wu Yu, right? I'm Bu Chonghua, head of the Nancheng Criminal Investigation Detachment of Jinhai City. From now on, I will be your leader. I hope you will love your job and work hard, and treat our detachment as your own home."

……

On the steps of the criminal investigation detachment building, the handsome young elite with a strong aura stretched out his hand. The scene coincided with the half-kneeling man in front of him who persistently stretched out his hand. Ah Gui saw his own in his tear-filled eyes. reflection.

"Are you really going to take me away?" He finally asked blankly.

Bu Chonghua stared at him without moving his eyes, and nodded.

"...but I can't walk anymore." He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm hurt too badly, it really... really hurts."

Those bloody scars and bruised and purple scars finally emerged from his body at this moment, reflected in Bu Chonghua's trembling pupils.The corners of his eyes were broken, and the blood on the browbones pooled on his chin, dripping onto the hot ground; his arms and sternum were horribly collapsed, and his nails were opened to reveal scorched flesh, and every word he spoke was full of blood Exhale from the nose and throat.

After he drowned, his lungs accumulated fluid, his breathing was weak and difficult, and the wounds all over his body were infected and turned white from being soaked in mine water for too long.

"It's okay, you can leave it to me." Bu Chonghua leaned over trembling, hugged him tightly in his arms, and repeated in his cold ear: "Let's go out together, it's okay, you can rely on me." I……"

Wu Yu was taken by him, and stood up involuntarily. Bu Chonghua picked up Xie Xing's body, which was tightly hugged in his arms, and carried it on his back. Scarred hands.

"...I want to bring your name back to the earth, and bring Xie Xing's soul back to his hometown from a foreign country..."

Large and small clods of soil collapsed from the roof of the tunnel, and the bloody smell from the Hongshan torture chamber became farther and farther away. Wu Yu followed the force from his hand and staggered forward. The severe pain made him want to shrink back alone. But each time he was pulled back by a more steadfast force.

"Let everyone know where you came from, what you have experienced, how much you have paid, and let those who try to extract profits from hell know what price they will pay..."

Bu Chonghua stepped on the shaky ground step by step, and in the end he was dragging Wu Yu forward almost desperately, light gradually seeped in front of him, guns and shells shook the sky outside the tunnel, and the smoke and dust from the explosion covered the sky.

"I want you and Xie Xing to see with your own eyes that all the shortcomings are filled, long-cherished wishes come true, and those who have worked hard and sweat have their wishes come true..." His voice was struggling to breathe, and the vibration on the top of his head became more and more intense, but he couldn't stop the trembling Word by word passed into Wu Yu's mind: "I want the flowers in hell to bloom on the ground from now on."

At this moment, the muffled sound of shells came from behind them, booming——

The walls on all sides shook violently, sections of the tunnel collapsed, and rocks and earthworks poured down the sky!

"We will go all out, and at the same time ask the family members to be mentally prepared..."

"What do you mean?!" Yan Yan got up abruptly: "Both are bad? Didn't my brother's blood oxygen come up just now? What's going on?!"

The lights outside the emergency room were bright, and extreme anxiety and tension shrouded everyone's faces. The nurse was covered with sweat: "Because of acute left heart failure caused by blood loss and lung infection, oxygenation cannot be maintained, and the blood oxygen saturation has dropped to 40. %. The situation suddenly turned bad, and there will indeed be excellent or extremely bad repetitions during the first aid process, so now we can only..."

"Nurse head! Nurse head!" At this time, a young emergency doctor rushed out of the door, "I asked the family members to sign a letter of knowledge, and the director said to open the airway and insert a puncture into the aortic balloon for counterpulsation!"

The rock slab scorched earth fell down like a torrential rain, Bu Chonghua's only consciousness for a moment was to turn around and hug Wu Yu tightly, close his eyes, and his mind went blank.

—— Immediately at that moment, an invisible force rushed from behind, leading them to break through countless layers of obstacles; then it seemed that countless hands grabbed them and yanked them up, and the light from the outside rushed in. !

"Thank you," Bu Chonghua heard a very familiar voice suddenly, with a smile and joy: "Thank you for finally coming."

who is it?

Bu Chonghua half-kneeled on the ground, hugging Wu Yu who was unconscious in his arms, and then realized that he had heard this voice, and suddenly raised his head——

The young man Xie Xing was radiant, his eyes were bright, and the tip of his eyes curved into a crescent when he smiled.He was no longer covered in cuts and bruises, those horrible bloodstains and heavy wounds disappeared, and from top to bottom he gave Bu Chonghua and Wu Yu a tight hug that smelled of sunshine and grass.

It was a farewell full of nostalgia.

"We'll meet again one day, we're leaving!"

...You are leaving?Bu Chonghua thought in an extreme trance.

He reached out in vain, but only touched a patch of gentle wind.Xie Xing waving his hands, Zhang Boming with a smile in his eyes, his father Bu Tongguang, his mother Zeng Wei... many heroic souls who once slept in this land flew to the distance, and the endless poppy fields under their feet were destroyed by artillery fire. burnt.

All the chaos, turmoil, slavery, crime, all the wealth condensed by white powder and the bones cast by blood and tears, all turned into fly ash in the billowing gunpowder smoke, and slowly fell on the vast land of 180 kilometers on the China-Myanmar border.

History quietly covered the red soil, and the branches all over the mountains and plains sprouted new shoots.

The long wind howled and rushed to the sky, leaving the years full of pain, despair, joys and sorrows and countless legends far behind.Bu Chonghua wrapped Wu Yu's seriously injured and weak body with his right hand, and pulled him with his left hand. The rings of the two of them pinched each other's finger bones, shining slightly.

Jinhai City in the distance was sleeping in the dark night, and the first ray of sky dawned, illuminating high-rise buildings and thousands of households, and reflected in their pupils looking at each other.

"Are you ready?" Bu Chonghua whispered.

Wu Yu was drowsy and half asleep, staring at him blankly, his extremely weak heartbeat revived from his chest bit by bit, after a long time, he finally shifted his distracted sight to their clasped fingers, and the corners of his naturally downturned lips slightly emerged. A smile:

"Are you taking me home?"

"No, I don't need to take you with me." Bu Chonghua replied gently, "Where you are is my home."

"Heartbeat!" "Blood pressure recovered to 85 to [-]!"

"This one is starting to regain vital signs too!"

"Notify immediately to arrange surgery and prepare to be sent to the intensive care unit!"

……

As if the evacuated oxygen was suddenly poured back, everyone outside the rescue room was relieved, Yan Xie suddenly collapsed and fell backwards, being supported by Jiang Ting, both of them staggered and fell back to the bench.

Outside the window, the first ray of sky light is shining from the horizon, illuminating the North China Plain inch by inch, dispelling the last darkness before dawn.

The heroic spirit is like a long wind, flying over the mountains and long rivers, crossing the green and heavy rocky peaks and the towering China-Myanmar border markers, and flying to the haunted homeland; Cheers and cries.

The returning soul returns to its hometown at this moment.
