Swallowing the Seas

"……help……"

"……help!"

"Help us—"

The sky was illuminated by strong light, the next second.

Boom—long—!

Trees were broken, slopes were flattened, and silent explosions rushed in all directions.The remains of corpses and broken bones in camouflage uniforms, accompanied by rain of blood, crackled and fell in the woods outside the village, as if a torrential rain had fallen.

A child stood there in a daze, looking up at the black smoky sky, a few drops of liquid fell from the sky and splashed on his face, slowly leaving rusty and sticky bloodstains.

The gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and the field soaked in blood became darker and full of swaying poppies.The child looked back in a daze. He saw not far away villagers carrying stretchers and walking hard on the mountain road. Everyone was dressed in rags, with numbness and fear on familiar faces. On the stretcher was a blood-stained man in camouflage uniform. The wounded, who was dying, glanced over inadvertently, and fell into the black and white eyes of the child.

Like lightning flashing across his mind, the child realizes what happened next, and is suddenly overwhelmed with extreme panic——

Put him down now!

You can't save him, you can't save him at all—!

But he couldn't cry out, all the weeping in the dark were locked in that small body.He could only try his best to run forward with the crowd on his short legs. As he ran, he saw the man on the stretcher struggling to lift himself up. He looked at him through the crowd with cloudy eyes, and then slowly opened and closed his mouth. Black blood gushed out of his mouth continuously.

The child stood still, every mouth shape of the man was reflected in his trembling pupils, he was asking:

"—Aren't you going to avenge me?"

The rusty wind passed through the woods, and a cauldron was burning in the open space. After the steam was steaming, every villager's face was crying in despair.The child stood under the tree, and he couldn't remember how many times he had vomited. He gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain in his internal organs, and he desperately reached out to reach the blood-soaked camouflage uniform on the tree branch, trying to reach it. He came down and carried it into his arms, wanting to unfold it and wear it on himself.

——He once wanted it so much, all the pain and suffering and ups and downs in this life were just to get that tattered and worthless clothes.

But he really couldn't reach it, no matter how hard he tried to stand on tiptoe, the skinny fingertips were always so short.

There were soft cries in the wind one after another, and they were swept up into the gray sky, and the ghosts lingered on this land for a long time.He heard whimpering through the splashing poppy fields in the distance, through the turbid hot steam boiling on the cauldron, and through the bony tree branches covered with blood in camouflage uniforms; he heard the voice mourn over and over again But helpless, he asked, "Aren't you going to avenge me?"

Do you forget it?

The fire crackled and burned the wooden beams, illuminating two motionless figures in the pool of blood.Scolding, cursing, and chaotic footsteps came from outside the house, and bunches of car lights swayed in the dark night, and were immediately hidden behind the deflagration fire.

"Father, mother..." The smaller child in the child's arms was twitching all over, he could only forcefully stuff his palm into the child's mouth, and this action was in vain to prevent him from crying out: "Mom... …my mom……"

His mother lay lifeless on the ground, her eyes were frozen and wide open, staring at the child in the closet gap.The jumping flames reflected on her face, making her seem to come alive, and even opened her cold mouth a little bit, and slowly asked word by word: "Why didn't you save us in time?"

The child gasped in fear.

"Why can't you run as fast as you can, and run faster, to wake us up?"

The child closed his eyes tightly.He protected the more fragile city doll in his arms with both hands, unable to cover his ears, he could only bury his head between his knees trembling vigorously, but it was useless.

The young mother's resentful face has been deeply burned into her mind, she even got up from the pool of blood on the ground, her gleaming eyes were full of sadness: "You saved our child, how could you not avenge us?"

"How can you just walk away, how can you not avenge us?!"

No, I can't, I've tried my best—

The child hugged his head exhaustedly, his thin black fingers were trembling constantly, and all ten nails were bloodshot.

I really tried my best-

At that moment, the child's figure grew taller, his hands and feet became longer, and the torch cast the boy's figure on the wall of the tunnel; Both the sound and the flying bullets were firmly buried in the ground.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly. In the severe pain, he couldn't tell which part of the blood in his body belonged to each other. Only hot tears dripped down on that face in strings, as if even his heart, liver and lungs were about to turn into thick blood. Weeping from his eyes.

"... Hurry up..." He heard that person's familiar voice gradually weaken, only the last sliver of hope barely supported each word, and said, "Leave me alone, go quickly..."

Wu Yu couldn't feel the pain anymore, there was a booming sound in his ears, and he knew it was his own hysterical crying.

"You have to move forward, you can't stop, and you can't look back for anything... You have to remember that if you want to live, you can't avenge anyone..."

"You have to go forward, forever and ever...go forward, don't look back."

The parents in the pool of blood were engulfed by the fire, and the camouflage uniform dripping with blood turned into thousands of ashes, and the wind swept into the sky.The sallow and emaciated child ran forward barefoot, through the burning village, through the devastated land, wading through the vast sea of ​​people and thousands of hectares of thorns, and ran towards the blood-gray sky at the end of his life——

He can't stop for anyone.

He can never turn back.

"Jump, jump, oh, what a shame..." "Go up, go up, go up and be so dazed!" "Fuck your mother!"...

The Internet cafe was noisy and smoky, and Wu Yu woke up suddenly behind an unobtrusive machine in the corner.

The outstretched hand of the network administrator froze in mid-air, and before he had time to pat him on the shoulder, he was stunned for a few seconds before withdrawing it and asked, "Hey, can you continue this machine? It's almost time."

Without saying a word, Wu Yu lowered his bloodshot eyes, took out ten yuan from his wallet and handed it over.

The network manager took the money and heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it's okay, it's okay, if he doesn't move again, I'll think he died here suddenly by staying up all night.

Wu Yu restarted the computer, and looked out the window while waiting for it to start up. The sky was gloomy, and it was already afternoon.

There are more than a dozen missed calls on the mobile phone, except for two from Xu Bureau's office and two from the landline of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Sub-bureau, the others are all private numbers of Liao Gang and the others.There are still twenty or so unread text messages, half of which are from Liao Gang, a few from Cai Lin, one from Sister Meng, and one from Zhang Xiaoli. The content is nothing more than: [Why didn’t Xiao Wu come to work today? ? 】【The boss has a bad temper this morning, did you quarrel yesterday? 】【Listen to Brother Liao, come back to work, don't lose your temper! 】【Xiao Wu is back to work! 】【Where are you?Have money to spend? 】【Back to Brother Liao's call! 】

There is no Bu Chonghua.

In fact, it was expected, but after confirming it with my own eyes, my heart is still a little empty.

It was as if a piece had been dug out by someone, and the wind was pouring in, making the bones feel cold.

Wu Yu forced himself not to think about those things, and scrolled down the list of text messages, suddenly his eyes froze - an unread message, from Fat Ding, the owner of Iron Blood Bar, only three words:

【call back】.

Wu Yu looked around. There was no one on the two nearby machines. The front and back rows were full of students who skipped class and played games. They were all wearing earphones and yelling, very devoted. At this time, their parents probably walked behind Can't find it.So he dialed the phone back, and he was connected after only two rings: "Oh, my little brother Wu, you finally have news, please don't tell me that I didn't answer the phone because I worked overtime, although you I've been fucking with you about the persona of your company's white-collar employees, but your fat brother and I have piercing eyes..."

Wu Yu interrupted him impatiently: "What are you doing?"

The other party immediately stopped talking, and then said decisively: "Do it!"

"..."

Just as Wu Yu was about to hang up the phone, Fat Ding hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, just kidding, just kidding. I'm here to tell you that the other party has news. Tonight at the old place at nine o'clock, are you coming?"

Wu Yu's eyelids twitched slightly, and his heart said so fast?

He originally thought that for a round like this, it would take at least a few days to prepare from the time setting to the start of the fight, but he didn't expect the opponent to arrange it in such a hurry, as if they couldn't wait for a moment.

"Where are you now? You haven't had a headache, brain fever, chrysanthemum or something lately. Why don't you ask the boss for a vacation and come out early. I'll send someone to pick you up in advance and get ready to eat a pig's trotter and drink two cans of Red Bull. Do you need it?" Come for a full body massage in advance..."

Wu Yu said: "I see, get the money ready." After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

The display screen had already dimmed, and his reflection was faintly reflected on the black screen. His black hair was disheveled, his face was haggard, and his whole body showed an abnormal dejection.Wu Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his face heavily, and inserted his fingers into his hair forcefully, thinking that he might get 20 tonight, plus this 20, is it enough?

It should still not be enough, maybe two or three 20, or more.

In the future, if I don’t get paid, how will I deal with food and living? If I knew it earlier, I would have waited for the field allowance to be issued before leaving.Having said that, I haven't had time to invite Bu Chonghua to a meal until now, and every time I cook two dishes at home to fool him, I should have known that I should treat him solemnly and properly, or at least give him a cufflink and tie And so on, it's better to keep a thought in the future...

Wu Yu suddenly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and punched his forehead hard.

He rolled his throat hard, looked up and clicked on the browser on the display screen, and logged into the e-mail that he had never used a few times.That was what Liao Gang asked him to register when he was first transferred to the Nancheng detachment. In fact, it is not needed in the agency. So far, he has not even received a few spam emails. There is only one unsent email lying quietly in the draft box.

He clicked on the draft, and a few short lines on the screen were reflected in his red eyes. No one knew that he had written these few lines all night.

It was a resignation letter.

In fact, as early as when he came to Jinhai, he had already expected such a day, but he didn't expect to be in such a state of mind at this moment.

It would have been nice if it wasn't Jinhai who came here in the first place.

It would have been nice if I hadn't met Bu Chonghua.

Wu Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and clicked send, then quickly exited the mailbox, turned off the monitor and computer, got up and walked out of the Internet cafe.

The streets of Jinhai are full of traffic, and the traffic lights change back and forth under cloudy skies.Wu Yu exhaled the turbid air in his lungs all night, turned off the phone completely, then looked up at the sky, estimated the time and distance, a little hesitant.

beep --

A black taxi was parked on the side of the road, and the driver lowered the window and poked his head out: "Brother, where are you going?"

"..." Wu Yu turned his head to look at the subway station in the distance, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and asked:

"Can it be cheaper to go to the suburbs?"

·

"After more than 300 policemen shifted for half a month to investigate and monitor, the taxi that was carrying Chen Yuanliang that night was finally captured from the video, but the driver didn't have the slightest impression of Chen Yuanliang's whereabouts at all, and the company's system's travel records can only be kept for 7 days. There is no way to find out where Chen Yuanliang might have been killed..."

Bu Chonghua pushed open the door of the conference room, walked quickly through the corridor, and listened absent-mindedly behind him. Liao Gang quickly read the report that had been pondered over and over again, and was about to return to the Criminal Investigation Detachment when he suddenly felt a heart attack for no reason. The ground sank heavily.

He stopped suddenly, his chest tightened silently, his brain was empty, and he seemed to feel something bad was happening somewhere he couldn't see.

"Yo!" Liao Gang almost bumped into him, "Boss? What's wrong with you?"

"..."

The sky outside the corridor window was gloomy, and the glass window reflected Bu Chonghua's stern and clear face. No one could notice that the pair of amber pupils were shrinking slightly.

Liao Gang looked at Bu Chonghua's face, and thought of Xiao Wu, who hadn't come to work all day, and felt nervous: "...Boss? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just..."

Bu Chonghua's phone vibrated in his pocket, it was a new email notification.

Bu Chonghua usually uses the phone, WeChat, and the public security push system for work. He only checks his mailbox every night before leaving get off work or after returning home, and basically does not even need to reply.But at this moment, the vibration was like some kind of electric signal, crackling along the nerves and hitting the heart directly, making him take out his phone by accident and take a look.

In the next second, Liao Gang saw that Bu Chonghua's face changed drastically, and he made a call without saying a word, and then only heard: "Hello, the user you dialed has shut down..."

"boss?"

Bu Chonghua hung up the phone: "Where's Wu Yu?"

Liao Gang: "Huh?"

"You and Cai Lin and Zhang Xiaoli called and texted Wu Yu today, did he answer it?"

Liao Gang thought to himself, wait a minute, how did you know that we contacted Xiao Wu today, "No, no, I thought he was having a temper, so I just..."

"Go find him." Bu Chonghua's tone was calm, but his speech was extremely tense, "Send internal assistance to the airport, high-speed rail, port, long-distance bus station, and major car rental companies to see if he has his ID card. Try to leave Jinhai, go now!"

Liao Gang didn't know what happened at all: "Wait, wait, wait! What's wrong with Xiao Wu? He's leaving Jinhai? Should we say hello to Director Xu first... Wait, where are you going?!"

Without saying a word, Bu Chonghua rushed into the office, grabbed the car keys, and rushed down the stairs in stride.Liao Gangfei rushed to the handrail of the corridor, and said in amazement: "What happened? Boss, where are you going? Wait for me?!"

"I'm going to Wu Yu's house to look for something," Bu Chonghua rushed down the stairs in three steps and two in two steps, without looking back, he shouted: "Go and send out an investigation notice, hurry up!"

"Yes!" Liao Gang ran away in a hurry.
