Desperate

Cen Lu carried his poor luggage and followed the big team to this small island in the heart of the sea.

Ever since Hou Chunxie's incident, Cen Lu hadn't spoken to Zhou Pushen.Rather than saying that the two of them were having an awkward fight, it might be better to say that he deliberately avoided Zhou Pushen.It just so happened that the captain ordered the entire boat to rest at the military base on this island, so he contacted the technical department and asked someone to arrange a single dormitory for him.

This island is located on the border between the Empire and the Southland.Unlike Bangguo, the Southland is not only small in size, but also consists of only a few islands.The technical strength was even more inadequate, so the empire occupied a large number of people, and snatched many islands from the southern country. In order to frighten this small country, the empire immediately built a military academy and a military base on this small island.Cen Lu and the others lived in the military academy this time.

Cen Lu pushed open the creaking door, and a sultry, damp air rushed towards his face, with a musty smell.Cen Lu took a few steps back, but still had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into this simple dormitory, and then warned himself that it would be nice to have a single room, and not to ask too much when going out.

He put the equipment on the moldy bamboo bed, looked around for a week, and found that the bedding had already been prepared in the room.He sniffed it closer and found that at least the bedding and pillows were still dry.Feeling relieved, Cen Lu took out a disposable mask from his luggage, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to clean the residence for the next few days.

Although Cen Lu didn't do much hard work, but he was good at his brain, and within two hours the whole bamboo house looked brand new: except for some potholes, the tiles on the floor became as white as new again, and Cen Lu wiped the bamboo bed clean. , covered with snow-white bedding.Since he was worried about keeping the equipment anywhere, he simply piled the equipment and briefcase on the bed, leaving only a small piece next to the bed, which was where he planned to sleep.

Cen Lu was exhausted and out of breath after finishing all these tasks, he fell down on the bed and gasped for breath, there was still a bag of dirty clothes piled up next to his pillow, Cen Lu turned over in pain, now there is a machine gun following him Even if you force him to get up and work, he can't get up.

The appearance of Zhou Pushen's tall body nestled in the small bathroom washing his clothes suddenly flashed in his mind.

Cen Lu was startled by his own thoughts, sat up from the bed in a jerk, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead heavily.

No, no, I'm still angry with him.Why did he lose his hope for others so quickly.Cen Lu shook his head, desperately forcing himself to move his thoughts elsewhere.

After such a transfer, Cen Lu suddenly realized that he was hungry, and his stomach growled at the right time, which confirmed his thoughts.

Cen Lu simply lifted the quilt in one go, got out of bed and went out.When Meng Wangsong just told him the direction of the restaurant when they disbanded, Cen Lu knew the way.He thought, it's rare to be able to eat something good on land, and he doesn't have to be angry with that weird old man anymore, so why not do it.

But he didn't expect to see a familiar figure in the canteen of the military base again.

Cen Lu was speechless watching Liu Cunji swinging the broken fan that he never changed all year round, and once again sat leisurely at the dining window of the first dining room of the military base. A huge coconut with a straw stuck in it.The old man squinted his eyes and shook his head, whether he lowered his head and sipped a sip of coconut juice, the emperor was not as happy as him.

Cen Lu walked to the window weakly, and said pitifully, "Is there any food?"

Only then did Liu Cunji open his eyes unhurriedly and glanced at the person coming, then closed them again: "No food, where can I get food in the afternoon."

Cen Lu turned around and left angrily, he was really hungry and had no time to play tricks on him.

"Stop." The man still played the old soldier's rogue face brilliantly, "I let you go, just run."

Cen Lu turned his head helplessly: "Didn't you say you have no food?"

The old man thought for a while, then stooped to find something in the kitchen cabinet, and after a while he took out a tender beige coconut.Liu Cunji dusted off the mud on his head, put the fan in his mouth, picked up the screwdriver beside him without saying a word, and nailed it to the hard skin with a hammer.

Cen Lu watched with some disgust as the rust on the screwdriver also entered the juicy coconut.

Liu Cunji didn't care about this, he made a hole in the coconut and threw it out together with the straw: "Drink yours, nerd, if you don't eat enough, drink water to fill you up."

Cen Lu was really hungry, he hadn't eaten anything decent since Zhou Pushen wasn't around him, and now he had fresh coconuts delivered to his door, and he didn't eat them for nothing.So he sat on the seat next to the window and began to chat with Liu Cunji while enjoying the coconut juice.

Cen Lu said: "Uncle Liu is really hardworking, and he will continue to work as a cook when he arrives on the island, to shine for the brothers on the boat." What he said was half teasing and half sincere.

Hearing this, the old man stopped his fan, and stared back at him: "Why do you think I am still doing this thankless job at my age? It's not because these little bastards make people feel uncomfortable."

He also said: "In our time, food and grass were more important than anything else, so I chose this hard work to do, at least the things I was responsible for, these bastards can rest assured."

Cen Lu suddenly remembered what Gao Fuqin said earlier, Liu Cunji shouted everywhere after the riot that there were traitors on the boat, so he thought that the old man was still worried after all, so he insisted on keeping the food in his hands.He wanted to ask the old man who the traitor he suspected was, but he hesitated.

Liu Cunji saw Cen Lu's suddenly serious expression, and thought of Zhou Pushen's distraught appearance these two days, so he concluded that Cen Lu was thinking of his guards.Liu Cunji wanted to reconcile these two people, so he waded into this muddy water: "Stupid, you have had a deep conflict with Zhou Pu these two days, right?"

Cen Lu was used to Liu Cunji calling his own name randomly, but he was a little caught off guard when he suddenly heard Zhou Pushen's name: "No...no."

"You're still lying to me!" The old man was so angry that he closed his fan with a "snap" and knocked on Cen Lu's head with his hand: "I haven't seen Xiao Zhou like that for many years. Is Xiao Zhou growing backwards?"

Cen Lu was a little confused: "What do you mean by growing backwards?"

The old man snorted through his nose: "That kid Xiao Zhou came to our camp because he was only as tall as a stove. His Majesty was going to fight in those few years, so he recruited soldiers everywhere, but even so, this kid Xiao Zhou was also my son." The smallest boy soldier I've ever seen."

"No one knows how old this kid is, and he doesn't tell himself. He just sits like that all day long, doesn't speak or move. When he didn't have recruit training, he thought he was dead at first glance." The old man spread his fan again, " But the tasks that should have been done were not missed at all, and they ran around the field training ground without saying a word, and the blood blisters on both feet did not stop. I want to say, some young people still Worse than a child."

"That's right, that's right, there was another time when the instructor who was shooting the target thought he was pitiful and wanted to reduce the task for him. That kid, tsk tsk, his eyes are really scary."

Cen Lu felt the buzzing in his ears, which obviously had nothing to do with him, but he seemed to feel that the blood was rushing to his head when he heard it like this.

"Just such a cold-faced and hard-hearted child, it wasn't until he was sent to the rear for training for a while at the age of fifteen or sixteen that he became more or less popular and finally knew how to laugh." Liu Cunji was still talking, "Then Just this time, I almost don't know him anymore, who is the reason why Xiao Zhou turned into this doughy appearance."

Cen Lu looked down at the half-drunk coconut, and didn't intend to answer, but frowned tightly.

"It's just these few days that Xiao Zhou is showing signs of returning to his childhood appearance again." Liu Cunji stopped shaking his fan, and there was imperceptible worry in his wrinkled eyes: "If you don't say a word, if it's not for the whole big man Who can notice that there is such a person who exudes evil spirit all day long."

"I'll go talk to him." Cen Lu interrupted the old man's pointed words. He was about to lose his patience, so he simply satisfied his pettiness, which would be more enjoyable.

"Okay, seven o'clock in the evening. The captain... that bastard Liu Zhihuan said, we have dinner in the open space on the south side of the island, you can go there, Xiao Zhou will definitely be there." Cen Lu's attitude was exactly what Liu Cunji wanted, which made him Said it all.

"I see." Cen Lu replied, picked up the coconut and was about to leave, "I'll go back and get ready to change clothes."

"Hey, what are you going to prepare for? I think you're pretty good like this! Go straight there!" Liu Cunji's voice followed behind him relentlessly, but Cen Lu ignored him and just sped up his way to the dormitory road.

Cen Lu was walking in the dense rainforest, stepping on the dirt road with his sneakers deep and shallow, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in his nostrils.

He looked down at the paint mark on his arm that hadn't faded.The wound had scabbed over, hidden inconspicuously in the dark green paint.After Cen Lu went back, he tried many methods to get rid of the color, but in the end it all proved to be futile.

It could only stay on his arms and chest, like two ugly scars, recording the contradiction that Cen Lu did not intend to cause this time.

The drizzle of rain rolled down from the broad leaves above his head, just falling into Cen Lu's soft hair, and the sudden coolness trickled down his scalp, making him shiver.

It is too late to run back to the dormitory now, the rain in the south always comes quickly and briefly, so the current plan is to find a dense forest to take shelter temporarily.

While running, Cen Lu looked at the traces that even such a heavy rain could not wash away, and closed his eyes.It seems that as long as the world becomes dark, I can see my heart more clearly.

In fact, he never, never meant to be awkward with Zhou Pushen.Cen Lu just felt that whenever he thought he was getting closer to Zhou Pushen, Zhou Pushen would become someone he didn't know at all.This was the case with Li Zhou last time, and it is the same with the bullying this time.

Cen Lu felt empty in his heart, and suddenly felt a kind of fear, as if something he couldn't grasp would one day be washed away by a heavy rain.
