In the hot air, Qinhuai and I both sighed comfortably while soaking in the water.

"Come on, go on." Qinhuai lit two cigarettes and gave me one. I took it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke. The relaxation at this moment made my mind go blank.

Don't think about anything, just want to sink into the comfort of the moment.

"This lake village is nice. There is also a small bathing pool built in the house for taking a bath. Chengyi, how long do you think it has been since we took a bath together?" Qinhuai leaned her head on the edge of the bathing pool, lazily.

asked me.

Yes, I didn’t expect that this small third-floor room would have a bath. When Qinhuai and I were still half-grown-ups, we often went to bathe together, take a bath and so on. I still remember one time when the hot water

Suddenly it stopped. We were both naked buttocks, and there were soap bubbles all over our bodies. We were screaming like we had finished taking a bath with cold water in the middle of winter.

I laughed when I thought of this, and said lazily: "I'm afraid it must have been about ten years."

"Sometimes I think about how good we were at that time. We were heartless and had no scruples. When we got into trouble, our elders would wipe our butts, but why did our youthful years go by so fast?" Qinhuai

The sound passed through the hot steam and reached my ears. I smiled and said nothing.

The past cannot be traced back. If time could stop, what else in this world would be worth hurting?

"Is this the scar left by the gunshot wound?" Qinhuai turned around and soaked in the bath side by side with me and asked, what happened to me, I probably told him before, and about the situation in Hu Village, Uncle He also probably

As I told you, Uncle Zheng is the most closely monitored, especially Uncle Zheng, who has almost no freedom of movement and is followed every day.

This group of people has almost no scruples. There are many well-known forces behind Hu Village, and they dare to 'collision' like this. However, the department did not take any measures against their behavior, but this should be the bottom line, right?

"What do you want me to ask you?" I was lost in thought, and Qinhuai urged me dissatisfied.

"Nonsense, otherwise what do you think it is?" As I spoke, I couldn't help but look at my body. From the first tattoo Brother Chengxin gave me to now, I have experienced many things. I have really inexplicable things on my body.

It left a lot of wounds.

"It's okay. There are some scars on the man's body, which looks pretty good. What are you going to do next? Uncle He said he would leave in two days, and the department has already hinted that they will send you somewhere." Qinhuai said next to me.

arrive.

I wrung out the towel on my hand, wiped my face and said, "Let's do this for the time being. When we get to the place designated by the department, I will go find Brother Chengqing and the others and meet them first. You can also help me inquire.

Do they really have no news?"

"Yes, it was only a month ago that Ruyue called me in tears, saying that something had happened to you, that he might be dead, and there would be no news. Didn't I tell you this? I was really scared to death at that time.

I'm sorry. After answering the phone, I didn't realize for a long time. Am I dreaming or did I really receive such a call saying that your kid is dead?" Qinhuai's tone was full of ridicule, but he could still hear the emotion at that time.

sad.

"Is my family okay? Where is that guy Su Rou?" As I spoke, the cigarette had burned to the end, and I put it out casually. These were the last things I wanted to figure out.

"Uncle, aunt, and your sister are all fine. They thought you were on a secret mission. When I received the news, I didn't reveal even a word. After all, all the news is not certain, and I was afraid that my uncle and aunt wouldn't be able to bear it. But

You must not call them during these days." Qinhuai warned with concern.

"Definitely not." In fact, if he made a phone call, not only would it reveal that I was alive, but it might also harm my family. Even if I were a fool, I would have thought of this. Qinhuai must have been frightened.

, now you worry about me in every detail.

"Do you know that guy Su Rou? In fact, after I received the call and reacted, the first thing I thought of was to call him." Qinhuai said.

"What's wrong with him?" I half-squinted my eyes. I was curious about how he would react to Su Rou, an optimist.

"Haha, that kid is better than me, at least at that time, he is more optimistic than me. After he found out, he was silent for a while, and then burst out laughing. I asked him why are you laughing? He actually said let's not mention that we are from China.

Man, I don’t celebrate foreigners’ holidays, and today is not April Fool’s Day either. I got angry at that time and yelled at him, do you think I’m fucking kidding you? Can you use Cheng Yi’s life to make a joke?

?" Qinhuai was recalling the scene at that time.

"Then what?"

"Then he laughed again. It was that kind of faint smile. I yelled at him again, you have no conscience? Something happened to Chengyi, and you still laughed? But he told me that the matter is not confirmed yet.

, and he was sure you wouldn’t die. I asked why, and he said

He didn't feel anything, and he didn't feel like a piece of flesh was being ripped out of his heart. He said that he and you had grown up together and had been linked by life for a long time. If you died, he would definitely feel this way. He was talking like a fucking idiot.

Like a child." Qinhuai said to me with a smile.

I also laughed. Compared to Qinhuai, Surou, the guy who grew up with me, probably had more "premonitions"?

"But this guy is just pretending!" Qinhuai suddenly cursed.

"What?" I asked with a smile.

"Didn't Liu Chunyan call me later? After Su Rou answered my call that day, he became bored and didn't talk much at home. It took him a long time to regain consciousness after the children called him. And several times, Liu Chunyan was called in the middle of the night.

His crying woke him up, but he didn't say anything when asked. This made Liu Chunyan so anxious that she called him

Ask me what exactly I told Surou? What’s even more exaggerated is that this kid wrote a will at home. The will said that he would wait at home for another month or something. If there is no news about what he wants to wait for a month, he will go out, but there is no guarantee.

I will come back after I go out, so I left this will in advance." Qinhuai finished telling me in one breath.

My heart was filled with emotion. Qinhuai and I both understood the meaning of believing in this will. Surou meant that he didn’t believe that I was dead. If he didn’t get the good news after a month, he would do it himself and let go of everything.

He came to me from all over the country and was afraid of encountering any danger, so he left his will in advance.

"This is really a fairy tale-like friendship." As I spoke, I wiped my face with a handkerchief. I didn't know what to say, and I didn't want tears to flow from my eyes.

"Yes, I am sincere to you, so why don't you take me with you wherever you go this time? Take me through those thrilling days again? Besides, my wife is also with you, so I'll stop by too.

Guard my wife." Qinhuai looked at me, her eyes full of expectation.

I looked at Qinhuai and was silent for nearly half a minute before I said, "I'll give Surou a call later, but I will never take you with me. Listen, no, no, this matter is not negotiable."

"What a bitch!" Qinhuai scolded me in Sichuan dialect.

——————————————Dividing line——————————————

Two days later, I don't know what kind of excuse Uncle He arranged. We used the old method, I hid in the back seat of the car, and left Hucun.

When leaving Hucun, Qinhuai went crazy and acted like she was waiting for her friend to leave without wanting to leave. However, she was forcibly dragged away by Uncle He just to be safe.

After the car drove a few kilometers away from Hu Village in a deserted place, Qinhuai put me out of the back seat. I rolled down the window and breathed in the fresh air. I looked back at the road I had walked. Finally, it was

Left Hucun.

I didn't expect that when a group of us went to Hu Village, I would leave in this way.

"I didn't expect it, Uncle He. You hid it from me so hard. You refused to tell me the organization's arrangements even to death. In fact, you were waiting for Chengyi. You only told me to look for the place where the accident happened. Maybe I would get the news.

, and also said it was some kind of internal news.

"I have been depressed for so long, Uncle He, can you bear it?" Qinhuai was teasing Uncle He. At this moment, he was in good spirits. He had shaved his beard, arranged his hair, and was back to being a handsome young man.

appearance.

"I didn't expect you to be so calm. Aren't you afraid that you would be exposed? I should have known better." Uncle He drove the car and answered seriously.

However, Qinhuai is cheating and must ask Uncle He to compensate for his mental losses.

The atmosphere in the car was lively, and I smiled too. Remembering Uncle He's advice, I put on my sunglasses again. Now that I have a full beard and sunglasses, even my parents wouldn't be able to recognize me at a glance.

Uncle Zheng, I didn't go to see him, but Uncle He reassured me that he had informed Uncle Zheng that I was fine in a certain way, and Uncle Zheng also hinted to Uncle He in a certain way, and they didn't reveal anything, so that

I'm relieved too.

Our destination for this trip is City X, which is close to Beijing. The department once said that if Uncle He waits for me and takes me to City X, he will let me leave. Someone will naturally find me and pick me up by then.

There is a certain distance from Hucun to City X, and it takes about two days if you drive.

We have not encountered any danger in the past two days, but Qinhuai kept pleading with me along the way. This time, he took him with him, but Uncle He and I firmly opposed and stopped him.

These two days were relaxing, but the relaxing days eventually came to an end. Two days later, Uncle He successfully brought me into X city. According to the agreement, I just needed to get off the bus anywhere in the city.

.

But Uncle He and the others had to leave. Looking at this strange city in the car, I suddenly felt the same wandering feeling I had when I left Uncle Wang many years ago. I had a family and friends, but I was destined to wander around and couldn't stay.

feeling.
