Chapter 4 Chapter 3 A Big Military Base

As soon as I opened the door of the study, I was startled, because the rainbow fell asleep against the door frame. The sound of my door opening woke her up. She opened her eyes and jumped up: "Cousin-in-law, what did you see in his letter?" I said in a very understated tone: "Rainbow, Yi Le doesn't seem to like sports, does she?" Rainbow nodded: "Yes, he never mentioned participating in any sports in his letter." I walked forward slowly, and the rainbow followed me.I said again: "In his letters, it seems that he never mentioned where he went to play or travel, right?"

Rainbow nodded. I stood still, and at this moment Bai Su also came out of the room. I said again: "All Yile's letters to you talk about the static side, everything he knows, why does he never talk about the dynamic side, such as what he did today, what did he do yesterday? What did you do, is your letter the same?" Rainbow stayed for a long while: "Of course not. I often tell him what I do. I once told him that I beat all the players in the school and won the table tennis championship. I told him many things." My voice became a little deeper: "Rainbow, have you ever wondered why he never mentioned his actions to you?"

Caihong stared at me blankly for a long while before saying, "Cousin-in-law, you mean he...he..." Rainbow didn't seem to know how to word it, or she had already thought of the key point, but because of the shock in her heart, she couldn't speak it out. I answered: "He must have something different from ordinary people, Rainbow, do you understand?" Rainbow took a long breath: "I understand, cousin-in-law, you mean, Yi Le is disabled? He Can't move?" "That's just my guess, Rainbow." In order to avoid the blow to Rainbow too much, I quickly explained.

Rainbow didn't make a sound, just turned around silently and walked forward. She was walking towards a wall. When she was about to hit the wall, I called her and she stood still. She just stood there, motionless and silent. Bai Su and I looked at each other, and each made a helpless gesture.I have already told Caihong the results I deduced from studying Yile's letter after staying up all night. Of course, that was a terrible blow to Rainbow, and we cannot persuade it. After three to five minutes, Rainbow turned around.To our surprise, the expression on her face didn't look like she had been hit hard, and she was quite cheerful.

She said: "Yi Le is so stupid. He thinks that he is disabled, so I won't love him?" This is exactly what I expected last night. I smiled and said nothing. Although Rainbow is only sixteen years old, she is a precocious child. I believe she has the ability to make decisions. Rainbow said again: "He has that kind of inexplicable inferiority complex, I must blame him well, now, the matter is very simple." "Have you got a solution?" I asked her. "Yes, he won't come to see me, I'll go see him!" Rainbow said firmly. I'm not surprised that Rainbow would say something like that.

However, at this moment, I always felt that I might have made a mistake in my speculation about Yi Le.What exactly was wrong, I can't tell.I just thought that it was Yi Le's own proposal to see the rainbow. The reason why he couldn't make the trip didn't seem to be affected by inferiority complex, but because someone was blocking him. If he is a disabled person with very low self-esteem, how can he have the courage to say that he wants to see Rainbow? I can't solve this question for now. But when Rainbow said that she was going to see Yi Le, Bai Su couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly said: "Cousin, what can I do? Uncle and aunt will not agree first, and your school will not let you ask for leave! "

However, Rainbow stubbornly said: "I don't care, I don't care about anything, I must go to see him. I'm not young anymore, I can go to see him. Cousin-in-law, thank you for finding the crux of the problem for me!" She waved to us, jumped down the stairs and left. Bai Su sighed: "Just watch it, it doesn't take an hour, our place will definitely be lively." I understood what she meant by that, so I just smiled.Bai Su's estimation was very correct, within an hour, Rainbow came back again, her cheeks puffed up, with an awkward look on her face. The one who came with her was Bai Su's uncle, with an angry face, and behind him was Bai Su's aunt, with red nose and swollen eyes, wiping tears.

Whenever a daughter becomes extroverted, the parents' reactions are almost the same. The father is angry and the mother is crying.Why do parents always refuse to think about it, a daughter is also a human being, and she also has her own independent opinions? Bai Su's uncle, when he was young, was a well-known figure in the Thirty-Six Gang. Although he was middle-aged at this time and had been in business for many years, when he got angry, he was still very powerful and coercive. Bai Su and I hurriedly greeted them to sit down, and my aunt cried louder and took Bai Su's hand: "Look, what do you tell me to do? She doesn't want to read anymore, she has to go to such a far place, Go and see a man named Yi Le, who knows what kind of person this Yi Le is!"

The uncle yelled loudly: "Let her go—let her go if she wants to go, and don't come back when she goes. I don't think I have raised this daughter." As for Rainbow, she just pursed her lips and remained silent, with a stubborn expression on her face. My aunt cried even more when she heard what my uncle said. Bai Su was leaning on my sleeve prettily: "Why don't you make a sound?" Originally, I didn't want to take this matter on my shoulders, because love like a rainbow, in the eyes of a "mouldy" person like me, is too "fresh". However, the current situation forced me to keep silent and ignore this matter, so I sighed: "I don't know if you will listen to my solution?"

My aunt stopped crying, and my uncle's angry face turned slightly. They all looked at me, and I said, "Looking at the situation of the rainbow, it is of course not a solution if we don't let her go, but she has never traveled far, and that I don't know what's going on around here, the only way is for me to accompany her, can you rest assured?" As soon as I spoke, my aunt nodded frequently. Uncle was stunned for a while, before saying: "Who knows who that Yile is, Rainbow is still young, only sixteen years old—" Before he finished speaking, I knew what he meant, so I hurriedly interrupted: "So, you two must trust me and give me the right to handle everything. I think my cousin is willing to go with me. of."

I looked over to the rainbow and she nodded. There was no anger on the uncle's face, he sighed: "I'm just sorry to trouble you." I smiled and said: "Don't say that, we are our own people, and that city is a very interesting place. I have never been there, so I just took this opportunity to have fun." My uncle has already agreed with Rainbow to visit Yile, but when he looked at Rainbow, he still let out a sullen "hum". Both Bai Su and I felt it was funny, because there would never be anyone in the world who could compare him to him. He loves Rainbow more deeply, but he still wants to show his father's majesty, which is indeed very interesting. I left them for dinner, and from the second day on, Rainbow was ready to go out.Five days later, all the formalities were completed very quickly. At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Rainbow and I boarded the plane and flew south. On the plane, I said to Rainbow: "When you arrive, stay in the hotel first, and then, I will go to see the situation by myself according to the address. You wait for me at the hotel." Rainbow objected immediately: "No, I'll go with you." I said: "That's fine, but you must be mentally prepared. Even if we visit according to the location, we may not necessarily see him. There may be some twists and turns that cannot be observed." Rainbow's complexion turned pale again: "What twists and turns will there be?" "I can't say, but I can assure you that I will do my best to make you meet Yile." "If Yi Le is disabled, what do you think will happen to Dad?" "Don't ask what will happen to Dad, what will happen to Mom, Rainbow, this is your own business, just ask yourself what will happen!" Rainbow nodded, and she suddenly smiled apologetically at me: "Cousin-in-law, I said you were moldy, I'm sorry." I was amused by her and laughed: "Don't mind, I'm not a generation away from you, but I'm half a generation away. In your opinion, if we are not moldy, at least our taste has changed." Rainbow also laughed. The plane was flying above the clouds, very stable. Rainbow was probably too tired for the past few days and fell asleep after a while. I closed my eyes and imagined what we might encounter. When the plane landed, it was already dark, and the city's airport was not far behind, but the efficiency of the clerks was terribly behind. It was delayed for an hour at the airport, and at least seventeen or eight generals were seen. The fact that the banknotes were handed over in the passport was considered to have passed the inspection, and when they walked out of the airport, thousands of lights were already on. We arrived at the hotel we had already booked by car, and after putting down our luggage, Rainbow shouted to find Yile. On the one hand, I can’t turn around the rainbow, on the other hand, I am also very anxious, and I want to go to see what kind of person Yi Le is, and tell the waiter that we can find a taxi driven by a Chinese, and wait until the waiter informs us , after the car was waiting at the door, we went downstairs. The driver seemed honest. I told him Yile's address. After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and showed a strange expression. I said, "When we arrive, wait for us outside. I will pay you according to the time, are you willing?" "Yes, of course," the driver replied, and suddenly he asked, "Sir, are you an officer?" I was stunned for a while, I really didn't know what the driver meant by asking this question.I said, "No, why did you ask that?" "Nothing!" The driver opened the door, "Please get in the car." I got into the car with Rainbow, and the car drove forward. The night view of the city is very beautiful. Although some small streets and alleys are very simple and dirty, at night, they are hidden by the night and can be seen. It's all new buildings with neon lights. Gradually, the car drove away from the urban area and arrived on a very dark road. I couldn't help being a little surprised: "Do you remember that address?" "I remember, sir." "In the suburbs?" "Yes, it's very far from the city. It's a small town—you have to go through a small town before you can get to where you want to go." "Oh," I was very puzzled, what is that place? I didn't ask any further because it didn't look like the driver was lying, so I let him drive on. The car drove for forty minutes at a speed of fifty miles per hour before passing through a small town.But that is not an ordinary town. The houses in that town are all very neat and clean, and the styles of the houses are all uniform. When the car passed a church, I was even more surprised! If I saw a Buddhist temple in the town, I would not be surprised, because the Buddhist temple here is world-renowned, but I saw a church, and I couldn't help asking: "What town is this?" The driver said: "The people living in this town are all personnel from the base." "Base," I was even more surprised, "what do you mean by base?" The driver stopped the car suddenly, turned his head, turned on the small lights in the car, looked at me with very strange eyes, and repeated the address I had just told him: "Sir, are you going there? Is it?" "Yeah, that's—" "That's the base, the largest military base on the outskirts of the city." I was stunned, it was something I never thought of again, no wonder the driver asked me if I was an officer, because the place I was going to was a huge military base! Could it be that Yi Le is actually a member of the military base?If he is, how can he be crippled?What are the twists and turns? Originally, I had already thought of several ways to deal with the situation where we couldn't see Yile, but I never dreamed that Yile's address would be a military base! I quickly looked towards Rainbow, and Rainbow also understood what I meant. She hurriedly said: "It's that address. I have been writing to this address for three years, and he has always been able to receive my letters!" Under such circumstances, although my mind was very confused, I still needed to make a decision, so I said: "Go forward." The driver said: "Sir, you don't even know that the address is a military base, I think it will be difficult for you to get in." I took a breath: "You just go, when you can't move forward, I will deal with it, and I will never embarrass you, don't worry." Although I said that to the driver, I couldn't think of anything to do at that time.Moreover, the moment when I need to find a way will come soon. The car drove forward for another half mile, and saw a strong light shining on a very large signboard.The street sign said "Stop" in two languages.There is also a line of smaller words that reads "waiting for inspection". At the same time, you can also see behind the road sign, a very high barbed wire fence, and two stone pillars, beside the stone pillars, there is a sentry box, and between the two sentry boxes is a large iron gate. The big iron gate is closed tightly, and looking forward, you can see scattered lights, which are coming from the houses in the distance. There seems to be an airport of considerable size in the base, but because the sky is very dark Black, I can't see very clearly. The driver stopped the car, and two guards wearing helmets and submachine guns came over, one on each side, and stood beside the car.Rainbow was so frightened that she held my hand tightly. She has been growing up in a peaceful environment. She has never seen such a battle. One of the two guards stretched out her hand: "Certificate." My throat felt a little dry, but I still said: "I don't have a document, we just flew from another city, looking for someone, we want to see him." The two guards bent down and looked into the car. Their eyes first stayed on me, then on Rainbow, and after looking at us for a minute, one of them said: "I don't think you can go in, the base will never allow anyone without a certificate to come in and out, you should understand at this point." "Then," I hurriedly said, "can you inform the person we want to meet and ask him to come out to meet us?" The guard thought for a while: "Okay, what's his name." "It's called Yile." Rainbow hurriedly said. "What's the rank?" asked the guard. Rainbow smiled wryly: "I didn't know he had a military rank, I—I didn't even know he was a soldier." The guard frowned and said, "Then, you should know which department he works in." Caihong shook her head in embarrassment again: "I don't know, but if I write to him and write this address, he will definitely receive it." Caihong read the address again. The guard shook his head: "Yes, the address is here, but that is the general name of the entire base. It seems that it is difficult to find this person for you, miss." I hurriedly said, "Then, how did he get the letter?" The guard said: "Usually, letters that don't specify what department they are in will be placed in the letter slot in the dining room, arranged in alphabetical order, and wait for the recipient to pick them up." I said: "That's fine. This Mr. Yi Le has received a letter from this lady for three years. It can be seen that he is a member of this certain place. Can you check it for me?" The guard looked very embarrassed: "This is not our responsibility, but if you come tomorrow and meet with the liaison officer, there may be results, so I have to ask you to go back now." I also know that I can't be harsh on those two guards anymore, I patted Rainbow's arm: "It seems we have to do it again tomorrow!" Rainbow nodded helplessly. The driver obviously didn't want to stay here for a long time, he couldn't wait to turn the front of the car around, and drove back. After a while, he passed the small town again, and returned to the urban area after 40 minutes.
