Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Past Events

Chu Feng followed the fat man to Shijiayuanzi on Youhao Road, Urumqi. The fat man led him to the fourth floor where he lived. As soon as he reached the door, the door opened, and a man with a head full of yellow hair respectfully came out, nodding and bowing. "Brother, I'm back! The house has been cleaned, what else do you want? If not, I'll leave first!" The fat man gave a "huh" and pointed at Chu Feng: "I know you, this is your brother Chu. When you see him in the future, it will be like seeing me. Do you hear me?" "Yes! Yes! Brother Chu is good! Then you are busy, I, I will go down first, hehe!"

The fat man waved his hand, and the boy quickly disappeared as if he had been pardoned. Chu Feng looked at Fatty suspiciously, and it was really hard to ask some questions. "Haha, Xiaofeng, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all. To be honest, at first I thought you would make excuses for not coming!" The fat man laughed as soon as he entered the room. Chu Feng smiled: "Does it need to be said? I finally caught an opportunity to make you bleed, how could I let it go?" Fatty used to be very frugal when he was in the army, and everyone made fun of him, saying he was stingy, and made him bleed for a treat, but everyone knew that Fatty's family was really difficult, so it was just a joke.When it was time to say goodbye, Fatty insisted on asking everyone to eat blood, but everyone politely refused. At that time, they told Fatty to keep the account, and when he became rich, everyone would come to collect the debt.At this time, Chu Feng brought up the joke story from that year again, making both of them seem to have returned to the passionate years.

After a while, the fat man came back from the memory, wiped his eyes, and then gave Chu Feng a punch: "Well, you boy, I haven't seen you in 16 years, and you will ask me for debt when you meet!" Chu Feng laughed, remembered something, and asked, "Fatty, do you still keep in touch with our comrades-in-arms back then? How are things going?" The fat man thought he was asking about those in the recruit company, and nodded: "I know most of them, and they are doing well. The little bug and the black skin are still in the army, and they are now the regimental leaders; the old squad leader returned home after demobilization. , Baodi has become a big family, and it is said that life is not bad; the little monkey is in the Urumqi, doing business, but he is earning money from the old man (Russian), and now he is paying it. Others, I don’t know .”

After hearing this, Chu Feng didn't make a sound for a while, and then asked: "Where are the people from our outpost back then?" Hearing this sentence, the muscles on the fat man's face trembled, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaojing, after Xiaojing died, Nizi heard that she returned to Shanghai. That person was not sentenced to death. He will die in ten years. Come out. I, I hate it!" Chu Feng was not surprised to hear this result. He just left because he couldn't stand it, and once he left, he never wanted to come back. The army he was in was originally stationed at the foot of a peak in the Kunlun Mountains.At that time, he, Fatty, Daqi, a Shandong man with the same surname as Fatty, and a Uighur soldier named Nijati were in the same squad, and the four of them went to the checkpoint later.The checkpoint was small and remote, except for the four of them and the platoon leader.Once, the superior sent two nurses up the mountain to examine the soldiers. Both nurses were from Shanghai: Xiaojing and Nizi.

Xiaojing is beautiful and has a good figure. The soldiers like her very much.At the checkpoint, there is not a single person to be seen all year round, even an old sow is comparable to Diaochan in the eyes of the soldiers.The platoon leader knew this very well, so when the two girls asked to take a bath, they arranged security. As a result, they caught the voyeur, which was Nijati. At that time, the platoon leader was furious and claimed to punish Nijiati. The big guy begged for mercy, and the platoon leader decided to confine him for three days. But three days later, Nijiati killed Xiaojing as soon as he came out. Chu Feng still knows clearly I remember Xiaojing's unbelievable face.

Fatty, on the other hand, fell in love with Xiaojing secretly the first time he saw her.Later, Xiaojing died, and Nijiati fled. He frantically followed the search team to arrest people. After several days and nights without sleep, he finally captured Nijiati. Nijiati confessed to killing Xiaojing, and the final sentence was life.Chu Feng and Fatty thought it was unfair, but the platoon leader asked them to do work and said there was insufficient evidence.It happened that three years had passed, and Chu Feng chose to be demobilized in a fit of anger.But he left, but the fat man didn't leave!

"Fatty, what did you think back then? I heard that you went down the mountain soon and went to Altun Mountain to fight poaching?" Chu Feng asked. "That's right, Daqi and I both went to the Altun Mountains. In those years, the number of people poaching Tibetan antelopes began to increase, and the superiors assigned us to garrison them. Nowadays, people watch movies and TV, and when they talk about Tibetan antelopes, they only know I am in Hoh Xil, but I don’t know that the Tibetan antelopes live in Altun Mountain for 9 months every year, and only go to Hoh Xil during the lambing season, and they stay there for less than three months. However, many people pay attention to the protection of Hoh Xil. Altun No one paid attention to Jinshan. In the past few years, the poaching activities in Altun Mountain were really shocking. Those guys were so rampant that they dared to take the initiative to exchange fire when they encountered our team. They turned against them!" Although the fat man said he was gone The troops are on board, but they still have feelings for some things.

Seeing that Fatty avoided his first question, Chu Feng stopped asking any more. He knew that it might be the unhealed scar in Fatty's heart. "Uh, fat man, haven't you met someone you like all these years?" The fat man smiled wryly and avoided answering: "What about you? Not married yet?" "It's over, it's divorced again!" Chu Feng briefly talked about his failed marriage. For a long time, neither of them spoke, and then, the fat man raised his head and looked at Chu Feng: "Come on, do it!" As he spoke, he touched the can in his hand to his, and finished drinking.

Chu Feng smiled wryly, staring at the beer in his hand without saying a word. "Why, don't you like this brand?" The fat man asked in surprise. "No, I've quit drinking for a long time, can I have a cup of tea?" Chu Feng seemed to know that his proposal was a bit unreasonable, so he said it in a low voice. "What are you kidding! Don't you drink when brothers meet? I haven't prepared white wine for you yet? You kid should be snickering. I didn't say anything. You must drink this wine!" The fat man couldn't understand. Chu Feng looked at the fat man in embarrassment, and then at the beer can in front of him.He suddenly had a sudden heartbreak, and he picked up the beer and poured it into his mouth with his head up. As a result, after pouring for a long time, before a drop of wine poured into his mouth, it was the fat man who grabbed his hand.

"What's going on? I know that even after so many years, the brotherhood between us will not change. Why don't you drink anymore? Is it because of your health?" The fat man realized something was wrong! Chu Feng shook his head: "Not exactly. I have something growing here!", Chu Feng pointed to his head, saw the fat man gasped, and smiled reassuringly: "It's okay, little one! Even There is no need for surgery! I was warned by the doctor not to drink any alcoholic drinks. However, you know me, if you don’t really want to drink, you can’t quit this alcohol.”

After hearing this, the fat man had no expression on his face. After a long time, he ran to the kitchen to search for it for a long time, and then came out with an embarrassed expression on his face: "There is no tea at home, why don't you drink boiled water?" Chu Feng was dumbfounded. This night, the two of them served water while the other served wine, chatting enthusiastically for most of the night.Chu Feng didn't know how much boiled water he drank, it seemed that he would get drunk even after drinking plain water. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping on the sofa covered with a blanket. He got up and looked at the cans and bottles all over the floor.But the fat man didn't know where he went. "Fatty?! Shaodong?" He called out twice. The fat man came out in response, still holding breakfast in his hand. "You're awake! Just in time, breakfast is ready, hurry up, eat while it's hot!" Chu Feng looked at Fatty's outfit, and found it more and more funny. He was wearing a green apron, with a fried egg in his left hand and milk in his right. "I didn't see it, Fatty, you still have this skill!" The fat man smiled triumphantly: "Small idea!" "But I don't eat now, I'm used to taking a shower first, fat man, where is your bathroom?" The fat man pointed to him. The two big men had breakfast together, and the atmosphere felt awkward no matter what, so the two of them had nothing to say. "Xiaofeng, what's the matter with you this time? Do you need any help?" "Uh, fat man, speaking of this, I have to ask, what happened to that little yellow hair yesterday?" The fat man laughed loudly after hearing this: "It's okay, it's just that the law and order here was not good in the past. There were some gangsters who often fought. I also fought a few times when I first came here. Later, the fight became famous, and the gangsters here convinced me." Chu Feng was surprised when he heard this: "Fatty, are you a gangster?" "Don't talk nonsense! I'm a good citizen with a legitimate job, but those boys are frightened by me, so I can ask them to do some small things. Besides, I have led a lot of thugs to go the right way?" , he was a little proud. "Oh!" Chu Feng felt relieved, he didn't want to see his closest comrade-in-arms go astray. "Xiaofeng, I also want to ask you, is your visit this time a business or a private matter?" Chu Feng himself couldn't tell the difference: "It was originally because of a private matter, but now it seems that it will become a business matter." "Uh!" Fatty was at a loss for his answer, and Chu Feng didn't know how to explain it.But he told the fat man that he might go to the Lop Nur area. After hearing this, the fat man had a strange expression on his face. He seemed a little angry and wanted to laugh, which made Chu Feng baffled.Afterwards, he asked, "Xiaofeng, can I go with you?" "why?" "Don't ask, just say if it's okay?" The fat man didn't want to explain the reason. Chu Feng thought about it and agreed. Last night, it wasn't just Chu Feng and Fatty who were talking, Professor Ling's grandfather and grandson in the hospital ward also had a heart-to-heart talk. "Ling Ning! Tell Grandpa why you don't want to be Chu Feng's student? Grandpa must hear the real reason!" As soon as Ling Ning heard it, he knew that the thing he had been struggling with had finally come.She didn't know why she reacted so violently today?Could it be because others look too young? Ling Ning thought for a while and said: "Grandpa, I would like to call you Grandpa in private. Sometimes I really feel that I am closer to you than my real grandpa and parents. Tell me, what do I want to learn, right? Gotta learn the best?" "Of course!" Professor Ling came to his senses immediately, "My granddaughter of Ling Rukai, either doesn't learn, or learns from the best! Although your child is separated from me by a layer, your grandma and I have no children in our lives. Both your father and you are regarded as our own descendants. Even if you don’t tell me, grandpa will let you learn the best things. So, do you despise the teacher Chu Feng?” Professor Ling said here , there was no joy or anger on his face, but he was a little pondering! "That's not true! Grandpa, I want to take a look again! If he can really become a master of paleography as you said, then I will definitely learn from him!" Ling Ning gave his uncle to feel at ease. Such a plan of rights and interests. "That's it! But you're going to enroll in the fall... Okay! It's settled!" Ling Rukai didn't know what he thought of, but changed his mind temporarily, and agreed to Ling Ning's decision.
