Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

When our sanity returned to reality, we found that there was no sound outside the door.At some point, Captain Xiao's faint knock on the door was finally submerged in the wind's cries, and at some point, the wind also stopped, and the sun raised its forever proud head from the haze.Jingjing and I were like children who had just woken up, we got up in a daze, and tidied our clothes in the fastest time.At the same time, we looked at each other, looked at each other's embarrassed appearance and smiled at each other. At this time, we found each other's familiar each other again.Now we seem to have been given a shot of narcotic stimulant by love, and we don't care as much about life and death as before.I picked up the gun, and Jingjing walked to the door hand in hand.

Carefully pushing the door open, he shivered when he was hit by the 30-degree below-zero low-temperature air that rushed in.The door was half-closed, and it couldn't be pushed even with more force, as if something soft was blocking the door.I had to work harder to get the door to open completely.When we walked out the door, the sun shone brightly on the snow, and Jingjing and I were not used to being under the light.I also sneezed against the sun.With the lotus in hand, I looked around, and there were no people in the wild mountains.I only heard Jingjing exclaim "Ah!" When I looked back, she was already squatting on the ground, and there was a person half lying in front of her.

No need to ask, Captain Xiao is leaning outside the door.I thought he left without opening the door after yelling twice, but who would have thought that he was sitting here leaning against the door the whole time.His appearance was very embarrassing, his body was covered with blood red, and the blood had frozen into clots at this time.He must have been shot.It can be seen that the blood is staggering from a distance.In fact, he could knock on the door a few times and then go to the dormitory next to him when no one opened it.I don't know if he really couldn't walk there, or he heard our conversation in the room and didn't want to leave.Probably he couldn't hear it, the wind outside was so loud at that time, but if he couldn't hear it, why would he die with his eyes wide open?

die?Both Jingjing and I widened our eyes.He really died.A tall and strong mountain man died in this way at the gate of the cemetery management office. Jingjing was silent, she squatted in front of him and looked at him.What is she thinking?Remorse, nostalgia, or just out of politeness?No matter what she is thinking, I want to make a space for him deep in her heart.Even if that small room can only hold a smile, an event, or an action, it will always be a remnant of the meteor that streaked across the night sky in the world. She murmured: "How did this happen, how did this happen. One step away, one step away, we can save you!" Her voice turned into a cry, and she covered her face with her hands and fell in front of him.I have worked in a cemetery for several years, and I have seen many dead people in my life.But it was the first time I saw him die with his eyes open.His eyes were straight, as if he had been looking at Jingjing.A huge shock floated in my heart.For Captain Xiao, there should be a love-hate relationship. He is sincere, cheerful, forthright, and magnanimous, with the innate masculine beauty of masculinity.To be honest, during the time in the cemetery, he helped me the most.Several times when I was most helpless, he was the one who firmly supported me and always helped me overtly and secretly.Although I now know that his help to me has a certain purpose, but after all, his purpose is not wealth. "How many men turn into red faces when they are angry." From ancient times to the present, there are a few people with a good temperament who can escape such a fate. "Ask what love is in the world, and it's just a promise of life and death." You can say that he is stupid, that he is stupid, but such "stupid" and "stupid" are the true qualities of a man.It's a pity that the object of his love is my girlfriend, which makes it impossible for me to be detached.When I think of this section, in my heart, I can't always face it with balance and calmness.I tried to understand him with empathy, but I still couldn't lie to the hatred I had for him deep in my heart.

Love is gone, people have gone.At this juncture, no matter how many grievances there are, they will be wiped away.In a blink of an eye, the love of the whole life has finally turned into dust and dirt, so what else can I complain about.All of a sudden, all I can think about is his good.Just now, if Jingjing and I could open the door just now, he would still have hope of life.But this last bit of hope has also been shut out by us abruptly.An irretrievable life may cause the biggest sin and burden I have to bear in this life, and I really regret it.I can't forgive my selfishness and cowardice.Thinking about it, my tears "swipe" and came down.Wenxin Pavilion Forum

I knelt down beside Jingjing, faced Captain Xiao’s body, and said with a choked voice, “Dude, although you loved the wrong person at the wrong time, I respect you as a man. She is here with you now.” I'm looking at you in front of me, you can go with peace of mind." After speaking, I imitated the plot in the movie and reached out to cover his eyelids.Unexpectedly, the tears in his eyes were also frozen, and he couldn't close his face.I gritted my teeth, stood up abruptly, like a drunk person, staggered forward and ran along the footprints to the distance.I know that Fang Xiaodan must have found the place where the gun was hidden, and then shot Captain Xiao, but where is Fang Xiaodan?We shall have no peace until we find him.A hot blood surged all over my body, for some reason I had an urge to kill Fang Xiaodan and avenge Captain Xiao.

He didn't follow the footprints very far before he saw Fang Xiaodan.It turned out that the two of them ran to the back mountain in tandem.Because there are still footprints extending into the distance.But both of them came back.Just in a different direction.Fang Xiaodan died beside the small pool where the bronze medal was hidden.Looking at the traces behind him, he obviously crawled for a while.He was lying on his side, with a very hideous face, and one hand stretched forward.He only needs to climb another two meters to reach the small pool.In other words, if he is not dead, just take two more steps, make a hole in the ice, and risk frostbite by jumping into a shallow pool (this artificial pool built for Feng Shui pattern is only one meter deep more points) to get his coveted bronze medal.But fate made a little joke with him.The dagger he just took out was stuck in his lower abdomen, and the bronze medal missed him.And fate saved me again and made me the lucky one.Because if Fang Xiaodan is not dead, I guarantee that I will kill him with my own hands.I looked back, Jingjing was still squatting by the gate of the cemetery management office, silently looking at Captain Xiao's body.And next to me lay another one.These two people have different purposes, but they have the same fate.At this moment after the end of their lives, they are all infinitely close to the goal they pursued, so they can be regarded as a worthy death.

I suddenly recalled a picture a few days ago in my mind, it was an early morning a few days ago.Just in this open space, a large group of people lived alive and well, but now they are far away from us one by one.What do people live for, is it for this endless desire?Looking at the flowers from the other side, looking at the moon in the water, this is probably the case in the mortal world.At this moment, the image of a big Buddha appeared in my mind.I even wondered if I should be ordained or become a monk.Come on, the world is not over, and Buddhism will not accept me.I looked up at the sky, and my eyes met the dazzling sunlight.

After washing away all the lead, what awaits me is the washing of the soul, the rebirth of Nirvana, or something else, and I don't know for sure.Just in his early twenties.At this age, many children are still studying in school, but I need to carry so much weight.I don't want to restrain myself anymore, otherwise my body will explode sooner or later.I just want to yell, and use the loudest volume in my life to confide to the Creator who looks down on the common people in the sky.For the first time, I howled loudly to the sky like a lone wolf: "Ah!—Ah!——" These two long sounds overloaded my vocal cords, and the mournful sound pierced the sky.There was silence in the snow-capped mountains. After the sound was cut by the mountains, it was broken and collected by the mountains from all directions.It's like the Tibetan lama's thousands of people chanting scriptures in low voices.The roar of the bass lingered for a long time.Hey, I just yelled, why is the low-pitched sound becoming more and more clear, as if there are thousands of troops lying around, and they are gradually approaching.

My eyes widened in surprise.I noticed that Jingjing also looked back at me in surprise.It seems that this is not my own illusion, the echo is indeed getting louder.The surrounding earth began to shake.No, an earthquake?Or is the Creator going to give us some special experience? "Boom-boom-boom" the voice was deafening.A gigantic figure suddenly rose from behind the opposite mountain. "Ah!" The Creator finally opened his eyes.I opened my already hoarse throat, and continued to shout while jumping for joy, even Jingjing shouted excitedly.That behemoth was a blue-and-white helicopter with the logo of the Chinese Armed Police printed on it—a huge and majestic shield and the words "Forest Patrol".

Unexpectedly, the ending of the story was so perfect, we finally waited for this moment.Helicopters are getting bigger and bigger.Already hovering above our heads.As it continued to descend, the vortex of air flow brought by the propellers drove the nearby snow to rise again in the air, transforming into a giant white dragon.In the snow that was blown away, the corpses covered in the snow were exposed again, and several spots of blood red were dotted in the snow-white world, which made the cemetery group in the mountains cast a layer of eerie horror. atmosphere of. The air waves made it hard for us to breathe, and the "big smoke cannon" rolled up by the air currents made people's bones ache.Even so, Jingjing and I gritted our teeth and stood in the wind and snow.Finally, the helicopter successfully parked in the open space in front of the management office.The door opened, and Director Wang was the first to jump out of the cabin.I saw Director Wang's broad and loving face again.He smiled and shook my hand, and at the moment when his fiery and thick palms melted into me, I felt that all the grievances and sacrifices were worthwhile. Director Wang held my hand tightly and didn't want to let go. He said affectionately, "Director Tao, thank you for your hard work this time." With such affirmation from the director general, I don't know what to say.Just smiled and said, "It's worth it, it's worth it." "Director Tao, let me introduce you. This is Captain Shi of the Criminal Police Brigade of Genhe City. The two behind are comrades from the Criminal Police Brigade. This is my assistant." Only then did I find out that besides the pilot, there were three other Comrades in police uniforms and a young man in civilian clothes followed behind him.After introducing them one by one, I gave them a general introduction to what happened in the cemetery these days.Captain Shi is not as tall and mighty as Cheng Fei, he is of medium height, dark and thin, with only one pair of bright eyes, and he is not ordinary at first glance.He was really competent in his work, and he didn't frown at the shocking case of the five lives. He just ordered to the entourage behind him: "You quickly look at the scene and take pictures. The items in all the rooms of the management office cannot be moved for the time being. At present, the remaining people in the cemetery have to go back to the brigade for investigation. By the way, send another helicopter to reinforce us. The Forest Rescue side let them figure out their own way, and it is important to handle the case." A criminal police station stood straight and called Salute "Yes." Then he took the pilot and Director Wang's assistant to work. Captain Shi then said to Director Wang and me: "You haven't seen each other for a while, and you must have a lot to talk about. Let's sit in the cabin of the helicopter for a while. The management office is now a closed area, and you can't go back. .” Speaking of this, he suddenly found the gun in my hand. "this is?" "Oh, for self-defense. I took it from Cheng Fei." I replied awkwardly, feeling a little nervous. After all, what I was holding in my hand was nothing but a gun. I used a pistol without a gun license. Undoubtedly it would be illegal. Captain Shi didn't take this into consideration, but was more interested in the name I just mentioned: "Do you know Cheng Fei? Where is he?" "He, he was lying on the open space in front. He is dead." I knew that Cheng Fei was also a policeman, but I didn't know what kind of friendship he had with Captain Shi, which made him so excited when he mentioned Cheng Fei. "Cheng Fei is a criminal suspect. We have already found out that he has an affair with a criminal gang. We were supposed to detain him for investigation, but we didn't expect him to die here. It seems that we will gain a lot this time." Captain Shi said His expression was always cold. I nodded.Captain Shi took out a plastic bag professionally, carefully placed the Type 54 pistol in my hand in it, waved his hand, and went to survey the scene with the others. Director Wang took me and Jingjing to the helicopter.We are all on the helicopter for the first time, but because the heart is very heavy, we don't care about curiosity.After climbing in, I just felt very disappointed. Not only were the seats very uncomfortable, and there was a smell of gasoline, but also the rescue ropes, slides, and various tools in the cabin were placed in a mess. Except for the more glass-steel windows, the view is not as good as in Beijing. Where is the little public going?But after closing the hatch, we found the warmth inside, and only then did we realize that we were almost frozen.However, one detail made me feel very uncomfortable.I found that a criminal policeman did not follow them to investigate the scene, but stood beside the plane with a gun.what does this mean?It seems less like protecting us and more like monitoring us. Chief Wang's expression is also very dignified.Ever since I saw him just now, I have been frowning tightly.I know that with so many lives in the cemetery, he cannot escape responsibility.However, the director is the director. Although the pressure is great, he still showed a kind of calmness and calmness: "Taozi, when I became the director for you, it was because of my trust in you. I believe that what you said just now, in the future. At the critical moment of life and death, you can still think of protecting the safety of national property, which makes me very admired." "Director Wang, please don't say that, it's all my responsibility and part of my duty. I believe that anyone with a conscience will do like me. But having said that, it's really amazing that Jingjing and I can live to this day It’s not easy. So many people’s lives and deaths are all because of such a small copper medal. It’s a little funny to think about it.” "But I'm also curious, where did you hide the bronze medal to escape those gangsters?" Director Wang still smiled kindly. I was just about to speak.Suddenly noticed a small detail.Why didn't Director Wang ask about Secretary Luo's life or death?It was his secretary after all.Thinking of this section, my head "buzzed", and the pores all over my body became vigilant again.If, I just mean if, if Director Wang is also one of the treasure hunters, what should I do?He took the bronze medal and flew away, leaving me to suffer in prison, or simply kill me.This is a possibility. Thinking of this, I swallowed, calmed down, and kept telling myself that the more I was at this juncture, the more calm I had to be.How can I find out if he is a bad guy? Sometimes when people are pushed into a hurry, it is easy to produce more wisdom than usual in the brain. During this process, I suddenly remembered a series of numbers.It was the mysterious number in Secretary Luo's cell phone.Although some time has passed, I will never forget the situation when I made that mysterious phone call.Someone picked up the phone and talked to me silently for a long time before hanging up.That person must be Secretary Luo's contact person, or the secret leader.Thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone, pressed a few keys seemingly randomly, and dialed the mysterious number. Director Wang finally relaxed his frown when he saw me pull out the phone.She said empathetically, "By the way, call your family quickly and report that you are safe. The family must be very anxious." I smiled back at him, said "um", and then listened carefully and anxiously to the voice in the receiver.A melodious music bell rang from the director's handbag.He unzipped the bag, put a hand in and skillfully turned off the music, and put on a loving smile on his face: "Taozi, it's time for the national treasure to go home, you can hand it over now." Give it to me." I heard the voice on the microphone change to a busy short tone.I know that the most terrible thing happened.This number turned out to belong to Director Wang.I put one hand on Jingjing's leg and pressed it hard, signaling her to be vigilant and not to speak lightly.Then he said lightly: "Director Wang, I'm sorry, I can't tell you where the bronze medal is." "Why?" I could see he was pretending to be calm. "You are asking questions knowingly. Secretary Luo's mysterious leader is you. You deliberately let me get your last piece of fox fur. You have been using him to steal the bronze medal secretly." My attitude is very firm, even the "you" in the title All become "you". He came back to himself immediately.He smiled and said, "Oh, I see. The number you dialed just now is indeed another mobile phone number of mine. But Tao Zi, you misunderstood. It was indeed I who asked Secretary Luo to look for the bronze medal together. But he is the same as you , are working for the government.” "Hmph, are you lying to a three-year-old child? From the first time I found this mysterious number on Secretary Luo's phone, I knew that the owner of this number must be the culprit behind the scenes. But I didn't expect it to be You." At this point, I smiled triumphantly, patted Jingjing's leg, turned to her and said, "But Jingjing, we don't need to be afraid, there is a comrade from the criminal police team standing guard for us outside the cabin, and he is the director. Don't dare to do anything to us." Jingjing didn't answer, her expression was very strange, I don't know if she was frozen or frightened, or if she was not freed from the mourning for Captain Xiao at all.That expression is an indescribable indifference, extremely cold. "Jingjing, what's wrong with you?" She looked up at me.The clarity in the eyes disappeared, replaced by a strange brilliance.It seems that she and I have never known each other, just passers-by A and B who met by chance.She spoke so suddenly that I was dumbfounded.That voice was so cold: "Director Wang, the bronze medal is under the frozen pool in front of the management office." "Haha." Director Wang looked up to the sky and laughed. "Taozi, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. What are you going to fight with me? With so many lives, wait until you stay in prison for a while. If it is agreed, you will come out Hurry up. The pistol Captain Shi took back just now still has your fingerprints on it, so who will believe you?" For a moment, confusion, surprise, sadness, anger, these emotions came to my heart one by one.I withdrew my hand on Jingjing's leg, "You—you—!?" I don't know what to say. "Taozi, I am sorry for you. I am also the person sent by Director Wang to win the bronze medal. There is no way to do it. Different personalities determine different results." Jingjing's face has no tears. There is a strange calmness in the almost perfect facial contours.My brain was "humming", and suddenly the huge roar of a helicopter sounded in my ears, shaking my whole brain, and all my energy seemed to be exhausted at this moment.I'm - almost dumbfounded. Will this woman who poured all my passion and effort into betraying me?The messy thoughts in the mind flew up and down like electricity.Zhang Xinzhe's sad singing came out of my ears: "My friend told me that beautiful women are easy to change, and I can't hear anything when I taste love for the first time..." It reminds me of our acquaintance like a movie Bit by bit during the process, I remembered what Secretary Luo said to me: "Didn't you hear someone say that when looking for a girlfriend, you must find three hearts, that is, you can look at yourself comfortably, stay at home and rest assured, and others will look at you. It's disgusting. Girls like Jingjing are not born to be the kind of person I can fall in love with. Even if they fall in love with each other, they can't keep them." Could it be that he was right.This is my fate? I suddenly felt that life was meaningless.For a long time, my beliefs have been driving my behavior, and protecting national property is just a high-sounding reason for me to give myself.The deeper source of this belief is to repay my kindness, to repay Director Wang's love for me all the time.Unexpectedly, the ending turned out to be like this. This belief was not only smashed to pieces, but also stepped on by others.Bronze medals have never been money in my heart, and I have never thought of exchanging them for any money. I still stubbornly believe that true love is something more precious than copper medals in this world.Now, Jingjing personally broke my heart, and stepped heavily on my heart a few times.These few feet almost shattered all my confidence in life.In that moment, I forgot life and death. "Loveless doesn't seem to be passionate, and an inch is worth tens of thousands of strands." Captain Xiao died for love, how could I escape the word love. I hardly knew what happened next, I couldn't hear any sound, only the roar of the helicopter, Director Wang's laughter and Jingjing's last words echoed in my ears. I know that Director Wang sent his assistant to salvage the bronze medal, that another helicopter came, that all the corpses were taken away, that I was handcuffed and boarded the helicopter with the corpses to leave the cemetery .I never heard Jingjing speak again, nor did I say a word to her again.When the plane took off, I watched the snow-white cemetery and the management office get smaller and smaller, and finally became an isolated island in the vast expanse of whiteness.My heart is also far away from the plane and the world...
