Chapter 4 three

Military jeeps in camouflage were running on the wide avenue of Longyang Road, overtaking heavy trucks one after another.I stood up and saluted the gendarme escorting the car, with a high air.Some of them returned the salute, and some looked stern. "Don't be too arrogant," said the gendarme driving. "It's okay." I sat down and leaned comfortably against the back of the seat. Fortunately, I ran into a familiar major Jiang Li from the gendarmerie, who had played cards with me before, and he agreed to take me for a ride. The phone rang suddenly, and a little thing jumped in my heart.Turning on the phone, it was a text message from Lin Lan: "What are you doing in Huamu?"

"Going to the airport to send a friend off, I asked if I would like to bring you a bouquet of flowers?" "Then tulips, I want a bouquet of yellow ones, thank you." I was approaching the Longyang Road subway station, and I pointed to the side of the road: "Stop nearby, I'll get off right here." "Aren't you going to the airport? Anyway, I'll go all the way." Jiang Li was a little strange. "There's something wrong, I'll take a magnetic levitation ride over there in a while." "You have a lot to do." I jumped down and ran a few steps, when Jiang Li suddenly called me from behind.

"how?" "Can I get a ticket to Lanzhou?" Jiang Li lowered his voice, his eyes were a little strange. "Damn, who do you think I am? If I can get a plane ticket, I'm still hanging around here?" "Didn't your friend get it? If you can get one, maybe you can get another one." He licked his dry lips, "If you want money, there is no problem." I froze for a moment: "He is him, I am me." The strange light in Jiang Li's eyes faded, he nodded, and cast a wink at those heavy trucks: "Do you know what those are?" "have no idea."

"Bubble generators. This one is installed in Zhangjiang Town, and the safety locks of the other three have been removed. They will be installed at the same time tonight. One is in Gaodong Town, one is in Xinzhuang, and the other is in Shanghai University campus in Baoshan District. Here are the last four." "Because the bombing was too intensive a few days ago? The higher-ups are worried." "But the money is exhausted." Jiang Li started the jeep and drove away at lightning speed. I walked into the empty maglev ticket hall with the bouquet of yellow tulips I bought at the flower, tree and flower trading market.

"50 one-way, 80 round-trip." The brother selling tickets was listless. "It's the age of war, so there's no discount?" I said casually, and paid honestly. "It doesn't matter if it's discounted or not. Now that you can still fly abroad, you still care about the small money?" The brother said, "One-way?" "round trip." "It seems that you are going back and forth. You are like us ordinary people, and you can't get a ticket." Why do you think this person has such vicious eyes? "Can I get a discount for my military ID?"

"No. A soldier?" The brother muttered, "Buy a round trip? Why don't you pay a one-way trip and take the airport bus back to Jing'an Temple for only 19 yuan." "Round-trip." I repeated. When I rushed into the waiting hall of Pudong Airport, I saw Liang Kang waving vigorously to me in the crowd.I pushed aside the crowd and tried my best to squeeze over there, and Liang Kang also squeezed towards me.I was sweating, and everyone around me seemed to be sweating.The entire waiting hall was full, there was a faint humming sound in the air, it was extremely humid, and the oxygen content was so low that it could suffocate people, probably because the air conditioner was not turned on.

Today's airport is like the train station during the Spring Festival travel season. Migrant workers are crowded together, and cheap suitcases and snakeskin bags are piled up on the ground. The air is filled with an inexplicable smell of food—a warm and rotten smell.But I know that those who can wait for the plane here are not ordinary people. The bags under their feet are elegant and exquisite, and there is no lack of authentic Louis.Vuitton.It turns out that there is a Louis in Plaza Hang Lung.Vuitton's specialty stores sell tens of thousands of such boxes.No one cherishes them now. I saw a woman sitting on it and talking on her mobile phone. Her hair was disheveled, and she was holding a lunch box from the airport in her hand.

"Can't you not be late once?" Liang Kang slapped me on the shoulder and reached for the tulips in my hand, "You still want to send flowers?" "What a mess, it's not for you, I'll take it back and insert it myself." I hid the flowers behind my back, "I can't help it, I'm rushing to make a report, and I just rushed over to send it." "Why are there so many people?" I looked around. "I haven't flown for a week in a row, and they are all suppressed passengers. No one wants to leave." Liang Kang rolled his eyes and looked around, lowering his voice, "This flight can fly tonight, and I am the priority ticket. You can go up."

Liang Kang is my classmate at Peking University, and we live in the same dormitory.He studied law and became a partner in a large law firm in Shanghai after graduation.I know Liang Kang's little water, let alone a partner, he is reluctant to do so as a paralegal.But his father is a respectable figure in Shanghai, unlike us poor bastards. When he was in college, he often rented a house in the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel on the other side of the Oriental Plaza. I lived there with various girls, some of whom we didn’t know, and some of whom I heard were from which department. Ordinarily, such a person should be unflattering.But Liang Kang is a magnanimous person, and he would often drive his Passat and take his brothers there for a luxury.The room was full of people messing around on the ground, some were playing PS2, some were killing people, some were playing truth or dare, there was beer and food ordered by Liang Kang around, and it was as extravagant as the palace of an old man in the mountains.At this time, Liang Kang didn't have the demeanor of a landlord. He often played truth or dare and was fined to stand on his head against the wall if he lost.

So everyone really likes him.Liang Kang has a particularly good relationship with me, because he always takes the same elective courses as me, and his grade points depend entirely on me. "Come here, let me introduce you," Liang Kang pulled out a person from behind, "Jiang Yang, my classmate, this is..." "Yo, this is... Dai Dai, right? Hey, hello, Liang Kangjin mentioned you to me." I looked at the girl with her head down. It is silk.What a little beauty.She was as white as a porcelain doll, she was a little shy when meeting people, and her cheeks were slightly red.

He had only occasionally heard this girl mentioned before, and it seemed to be his latest girlfriend.I scolded Liang Kang, the grandson, in my heart, for harming others again. "Hi, Liang Kang always mentions you." The girl's voice was low and pleasant. "I asked you to come over to our house in the morning!" Liang Kang leaned close to my ear and complained in a low voice, "I'm not getting married at home today?" I was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at that Dai Dai. I never thought that such a gentle and quiet little beauty would force Liang Kang to the wedding: "Damn, can't you? Don't you claim to be the one who will fight to the end?" ?” "Yes." Liang Kang winked at Dai Daifei. "What's there?" Liang Kang slapped me on the back of the head: "Are you pretending to be stupid?" I followed his gaze down and landed on Dede's belly that seemed to be a little swollen. "Oh!" I slapped Liang Kang's hand hard on the forehead, "Congratulations!" We shook hands for a while, but I could tell that Liang Kang was not happy, and neither was I.We were silent for a while, and each withdrew our hands. "The old man said... maybe he is going to die, and he wants to see his grandson with his own eyes." Liang Kang rubbed his hands and said. "Is the old man in Lanzhou? Are you okay?" "It's okay, but the spirit is not getting better day by day. It's not when he was in Shanghai." Liang Kang shook his head, "This time he bought a ticket and urged me to go there quickly. I'm afraid he knows he can't stand it anymore." "What are you thinking?" I patted him, "It's okay." I really can't find anything to comfort him. "Passengers on flight A4356 to Lanzhou, please pay attention to passengers on flight A4356 to Lanzhou. Please bring your luggage and prepare to enter the quarantine gate. Passengers with priority tickets, please go to the entrance of international flights, please pay attention to the order , obey the guidance of the military police." The sound of the broadcast suddenly echoed throughout the airport hall, and almost everyone stood up at the same time, looking up, the big screen that had been dark was lit up, and soldiers in military police uniforms came from behind the quarantine entrance. Queues appear. "Dai Dai! Dai Dai!" Liang Kang shouted loudly, going to pull his girlfriend, oh no, it's his wife now. The whole crowd began to flow, some people rushed to the quarantine entrance recklessly, some people started to shout loudly: "We have been waiting for a week!" There was a faint trend of chaos.The gendarmes joined hands to form a human wall, and the leading lieutenant colonel coldly pressed the pistol on his waist.Now that the police have gone home to rest, the gendarmes are the only people entitled to be armed. Liang Kang didn't say goodbye to me, he pulled his woman and squeezed along the flow of people towards the international entrance.He held the ticket tightly in his raised hand, as if he wanted to crush something.Dai Dai just followed him like this. When she was about to leave, she dropped something in her hand. It was a book. I bent down to pick it up and read it. It had a white cover, and the title of the book was .This book is a little famous in our school, but I haven't read it, so I can take it back and read it. I opened the book and froze for a moment.There is a photo in the book, which shows a thin student-like boy, wearing a pair of thin wire glasses, standing under the autumn ginkgo tree, and the ground is full of fallen leaves.The date is written on the back: "1999.10.10" That's not Liang Kang. I whistled low. "Tie, I will help you get a ticket." Liang Kang's voice came suddenly. I looked over and he stopped in the crowd, pulling his wife.He waved at me and shouted loudly, but I could tell he was a little sad.I didn't speak, just waved to him.He turned back and pulled the girl towards the international entrance. I turned around, going in the opposite direction from the crowd. What's the use of getting a ticket?I have a military service agreement with the military.If I leave, I will be a deserter and will be court-martialed.I joked with the big pig and the two pigs, saying that my contract is called dead and cannot be redeemed. I knew it from the moment I wrote it. Walking out of the waiting hall, it suddenly became quiet.The sky is open, but a little too lonely.I scratched my head, put the flowers under my arms, and walked towards the magnetic levitation with my hands in my pockets.The phone rang, and there was an incoming call. "Hi, I'm Jiang Yang." I said lazily. Lin Lan won't call me, we only communicate by text message.When the two of us were face to face, it seemed that we had nothing to say at all. "Jiang Yang! What are you doing? The discipline of the army is absolute obedience! Today is your turn for the training schedule, where are you now?" On the opposite side is a broken gong voice, the sound is thunderous, and it is the voice of a macho man. My cold sweat came down.I originally arranged for flight training in the afternoon, but last night I rushed to report all night, and rushed to see Liang Kang off again, completely forgetting about the flight training. "I'm here, I'm here! I've reached the door! I'm going to change immediately!"
