Swallowing the Seas

"When I was nine years old, my dad was suddenly transferred to the Yunnan-Yunnan border for an 'inspection'. My mom took a long vacation at work to accompany her there, and the trip lasted for several months."

Bu Chonghua didn't seem to notice Wu Yu's obvious resistance, and said calmly, looking at the tombstone.

"I waited for them to come back every day, but the so-called investigation seemed to be endless. Until the summer vacation of the school, my dad happily said on the phone that the matter was about to be finished, and he was going to hand over to his colleagues. Their colleagues from the Public Security Bureau discussed So that I can be picked up when I go to Yundian, so that I can meet my parents in advance and come back with them."

"But what I didn't expect was that it was the last time I saw my parents."

Wu Yu looked at the weeds at his feet and closed his eyes.

"Thinking about it now, there were all sorts of signs of something wrong on the way to Yundian: Why did they live in such a remote place, and even had to cross several rivers and several armed police checkpoints, which clearly passed the China-Myanmar border Why are there only the two of them stationed in the entire inspection base, and there are various instruments and equipment inside and outside the house, what exactly are they going to investigate in the barren mountains? Even the young me can feel that they are exhausted and haggard in just a few months I learned a lot, but the excitement of seeing my parents at that time made me forget everything. I happily followed my father to go fishing in the mountains, and the family of three had a meal when I came back in the evening, and even checked the progress of my summer homework for my mother; Lawton, who went to bed very early that night, was suddenly awakened by someone in the middle of the night. It was a little boy about my age, and his cold and trembling hand was desperately covering my mouth, telling me to keep quiet."

Wu Yu squeezed out a few words: "Stop talking..."

"From that moment until much later, my memory of that night is very confused. I just remember him dragging me into the closet. As the closet door closed, there was the sound of car engines and random footsteps outside, followed by There's people breaking down the door, there's screaming, bumping and yelling..."

"do not talk!"

"That's my parents." Bu Chonghua said in a calm to indifferent tone, "A group of drug dealers broke into my house, asked them about the real identity of an undercover agent, and shot them dead in front of me after failing."

"I told you to stop talking!" Wu Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly raised his head.

Bu Chonghua looked back at Wu Yu from the tombstone, his eyes were bloodshot, and asked softly, "Do you know how I survived? The little boy led me out of the fire and hid me in a tree pit halfway up the mountain , In order to lure the drug dealer away, he endured the pain and rushed into the deep mountains and old forests... I don't know where he came from, and I haven't seen him since then, and no one knows who he is. He is like a ghost that suddenly appeared in the bloody night and left in a hurry, exchanged his life for mine, and then rushed to the edge of the cliff and resolutely rushed to hell."

"Many years later, I found out that the mastermind of that night was Wan Changwen, a Chinese drug dealer who fled to the Golden Triangle. My father's so-called investigation was actually to set up a radio station for a top-secret cross-border undercover operation. My mother asked for a long vacation to accompany her there. It was just to cover for his father. After they were exposed, Wan Changwen sent people to torture and interrogate the key undercover in their operation, but they didn't say anything until they died. Because the last cover they made with their lives, that Only undercover agents can complete the mission safely and come back alive.”

"Since that year, all the goals in my life have only one thing left." Bu Chonghua's lips trembled slightly when he spoke, and said, "I want to avenge them."

Wu Yu pressed his forehead with one hand, took a deep breath, and almost sneered: "Then you go, you think the big drug lords who have been in the Golden Triangle for 30 years are better than you, so you go?"

"Wu Yu," Bu Chonghua looked at him and said hoarsely, "in many cases, the outcome of the battle between good and evil is not determined by the strength of each other. It's like my parents didn't say the undercover person until the last moment." The name is like the child who rushed to the mountains against a group of drug dealers to save me...Boldness, faith, and no hesitation, these rotten words have already implied the final victory or defeat."

The wind picked up grass and leaves from their feet, drowned the gray stone monuments all over the hills, and circled into the sky.

"No matter how dangerous the front is and how powerful the criminals are, I will never give up and keep going. Every criminal I catch and every package of drugs I seize is to avenge the scarred child who rushed to the drug dealer 20 years ago. .”

Liver and courage, faith, and no hesitation.

Wu Yu closed his eyes. At that moment, he felt as if he was still running for his life in the endless dark night. Every breath was cutting the trachea and alveoli, but he couldn't stop.

He ran towards the only hut in the dark night, with young parents and children in deep sleep in front of him; drug dealer.He really couldn't run anymore, and when he finally thought he could stop, the more terrifying and frightening secret followed him like a shadow, and he was stingy with giving him even a second to breathe.

"Those words are nice, but I don't think about those things anymore." Wu Yu said coldly, "I just want to be a coward who is safe and wise and protects himself. The title of hero is reserved for those lying in the soil." People are enough."

"Coward?" Bu Chonghua pressed his eyebrows tightly, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke: "Did you ever get scared when you faced Liu Dongcai's dozens of thugs alone? You and I faced hundreds of thugs in Fengyuan Village. Ever been scared when a cultist's life was hanging by a thread? Now tell me you just want to be a coward to protect yourself?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Wu Yu said coldly, "If the other party is a shark, then I just want to be a coward. Is there a problem?"

The two of them looked at each other, and Bu Chonghua suddenly realized that he had never known Wu Yu at this moment.

He tore off the gentle and dull disguise when he first came to the Nancheng branch, and he no longer looked like a carefree young man, wearing an old man's sweatshirt and flip-flops, sitting in a food stall eating barbecue, and smiling slyly at him from under the dim light bulb .The violent, desperate, and desperate Wu Yu who was locked in the confinement room, who kicked the TV to pieces and kept asking Bu Chonghua where he was, was also hidden. A face he didn't know.

"I told you that I went undercover just to fight for a career, and came back to be a police officer just to get a salary. From the beginning to the end, I didn't have such lofty loyalty or beliefs, and I didn't receive the perfect moral character education of your elite."

Wu Yu stepped back a few steps, stepped on the wet grass, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'm just an ordinary little boy. I don't want to go back to face a big drug lord who is as dangerous as a shark. I'm sorry."

He nodded politely, turned around and walked towards the gate of the cemetery stepping on the grass and dirt.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, followed by Juli forcefully pulling him back, and Bu Chonghua looked closely into Wu Yu's eyes: "Do you know that there are some things that you are more afraid of? You can't hide for a lifetime! How long can Jinhai protect you, five years? Ten years? If you don't completely destroy the other party, you will remain anonymous for the rest of your life and live in the shadow of being threatened by them forever!"

"I……"

"Have you seen the words engraved on the stone? Do you know why the line with the name of the person who erected the monument is blank?!" Bu Chonghua pointed to his parents' tombstone, and his voice was shocking: "You Do you also want to hide like this for the rest of your life until you die?!"

Wu Yu breathed out and said, "Yes. I just want to live a little longer than your father Lingtang."

Bu Chonghua was blocked there, and Wu Yu's eyes seemed to reveal subtle pity.

"Squad," he said, "the story of your parents' sacrifice is touching, but do you think I look like I'm touched in any way?"

"..." Bu Chonghua seemed to feel that he had heard it wrong.

"I've seen many people die more tragically and tragically than your parents, but nothing will change. You may not like to hear me say this, but I'm sorry, the police are just a job. Sacrifice has no value other than to move oneself."

Wu Yu didn't move and let himself be carried by Bu Chonghua, and even smiled mockingly.

"People have to move forward, and they can't always look back, let's be sad and change."

A strong tingling pain was like a fire, quickly crawling along the nerves and covering all the limbs and bones.There was a bang in Bu Chonghua's ears, and his chest was burning like a raging fire. The next moment he didn't even realize it, he punched out heavily——

Wu Yu turned his face away, but the harsh wind stopped abruptly, and the heavy blow did not come as expected.

"..."

He opened his eyes, Bu Chonghua's nails were deeply pierced into the flesh of his palm, the veins in his arm were bulging, and his joints were blue, white and purple. The next moment he was holding Wu Yu's collar, he gritted his teeth and pushed!

Wu Yu staggered two steps on the grass, almost bumped into an unknown stone tablet, and laughed out loud.

Bu Chonghua gasped and stood where he was, like a beast that had been stabbed into its soft ribs, and the seven orifices of his chest were boiling with painful blood.He stared at Wu Yu with one hand covering his eyes and bent down, his laughter became more and more obvious, he shook his head while laughing, and finally he couldn't restrain his trembling, and seemed to feel that all this was very absurd; I don't know how long he Only then gradually stopped the smile, and stood up leaning against the tombstone.

"Sorry to disappoint you, I am not from the same world as you."

He looked at Bu Chonghua, with indistinct fatigue and sarcasm flashing in his eyes, and said, "Sometimes I am also very disappointed in myself."

Bu Chonghua stood motionless in front of his parents' tombstone, and Wu Yu shook his head with a final smile, which seemed to be a regretful farewell.

Then he turned and walked through the Martyrs' Cemetery, disappearing into the distant leaden sky.
