The Road Home

That night, Huang Ting gave her a phone number.

This number is stored in the address book. In order to prevent it from turning over, her name is ZZZ, which will naturally fall to the end, but in fact she glanced at it after reading it.

Cover your ears and steal the bell, but that's it.

Two years later.

Gui Xiao was sitting in a humble lounge at a gas station in Inner Mongolia. The dirty glass was covered with water mist. Outside, there was a real goose feather and snow. "People hug their wives at night, people like us, just hold the steering wheel at night," the two trucker drivers complained. "This snowy night, the road tomorrow will be long enough."

She sat for half an hour, couldn't stand it early, got up and pushed open the wooden door of the lounge, and walked to the snow-covered steps.

Will he come?

The neckline of the black cold suit pulled under the tip of the nose.

"Is your friend really here?" Xiao Cai also ran out behind him and asked.

"Should?" Gui Xiao was uncertain.

Just on the phone, she talked upside down and asked her address there and hung up.

She waited for her feet to stand, and looked out the door with her last hope. After another half an hour, I didn't feel my fingertips, so I didn't want to go back. Just when Xiao Cai ran out for the fourth time, the pale car lights shone in from the snow, and the snow-covered off-road vehicle came in. Without a circle, he stopped directly in front of the steps.

The half-opened window was completely rolled down, and the person in the driver's seat was similar to the black cotton jacket of the special | police | for | war | Recognize him.

"boarding."

This is the first sentence he said after two years without seeing it.

Gui Xiao ran to the window of the car: "The owner of the gas station asked us to go to the prairie first ..."

"Get in the car." Lu Yanchen repeated without any emotion |

Gui Xiao was stunned, turned back to greet Xiao Cai, and let the remaining three men shelter from the wind out.

Everyone got in the car, four people took the back, and of course left the front passenger seat to Gui Xiao. She grabbed the car, pulled the seat belt and fastened it, before she buckled, Lu Yanchen stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

He still has that habit, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the windows must be open.

The wind in the winter night poured in, and a few people in the back seat blew up, and did not dare to talk.

"Can the windows be closed?" Gui Xiao froze with a lingering tongue.

Lu Yanchen angled her and closed the window.

When the glass slowly rose up, stuck to the highest place, and blocked the snow and wind outside the car, everyone in the back seat was relieved. But I can't help whispering, it's so cool to know this "friend" ...

Xiao Cai, they are engaged in foreign trade business, and they have invested in their company.

This time, I made a large logistics list, and the goods were sent to a logistics distribution center on the border of Inner Mongolia, and then sent to Outer Mongolia as early as possible. Xiao Cai, they took the opportunity to drive, followed, and talked about cashmere products business by the way. This incident has nothing to do with Gui Xiao, but she was restless when she heard the word "Inner Mongolia."

So came along.

Last night, when Blizzard struck, they temporarily avoided the gas station, and Xiao Cai's off-road vehicle was lost.

The owner of the gas station was helpless, but he gave them a good conscience, and there was an unwritten rule here. Car thieves will throw stolen cars on the grassland not far away. There are many brands, Gan A and Gan H are the most, and they are thrown in densely and unattended. Waiting to sell.

The petrol station owner told them to find their car secretly, and then called the police to claim it.

This is the fastest method.

Xiao Cai thought it was feasible, but Gui Xiao proposed it. He could ask a friend for help, and he was here.

Gui Xiao is also unclear whether he was retired, is he a special policeman or an armed policeman?

In short, it is a profession that can help.

The car was driven in the heavy snow for more than half an hour and parked on the snow-capped grassland. There were not only a lot of heavy snow-covered cars in the distance, but also large and small haystacks. At a glance, all the booty ...

"Wait a while, my local friends went to ask." He stopped the car and said the second sentence.

Then he pushed the door down.

Xiao Cai looked up in the back seat and said after Gui Xiao's shoulder: "You friend, it's too cold, I'm scared to say thank you." Gui Xiao looked across the window to see him standing in the front of the car in the snow. He lowered his head and surrounded the fire with his hands to light a cigarette. "He has been like this."

In the snowy night, the faint light in his palm was fleeting.

The light fell on the cigarette butt, flashing in the night, burning her eyes.

"I'll go down ... say a few words to him."

Return to the cart door and jump down.

Because I didn't expect the snow to be so deep on the grass, I fell deeply, nearly tripped, and hit the door with my backhand. Lu Yanchen followed her reputation, saw her down jacket that was not resistant to the wind under snowy night, and then looked at her obviously wet boots: "Not too cold?"

She shivered.

When they were together, the two often stayed by the canal in the winter. One day she was sitting crooked at the crossbeam of his mountain bike, hiding in his arms to hide from the wind, and for a long time, she did not see him say: "You What do you think? "

He touched her sleeves: "What do you think? Thinking about how wet your clothes are?"

"Ah," she embarrassed, "I told my aunt not to wash, but she didn't listen to me, she washed ..."

"What did you wear without drying? Isn't it cold?"

Why isn't it cold? The laughter is almost freezing on my lips.

After twitching for a long time, she exhaled the white mist and whispered, "This new one, I want to show it to you." In winter, I came to see him in a half-dry clothes, and I could move myself to death.

He then looked down and laughed.

At that time, the canals were all old forests raised for more than ten years. The wind was strong and nobody was there. Occasionally, some people would ride along with the sound of car bells, and I was not happy to take a look at them both in winter. Little young is in love. After dawn, he felt relieved and shrank in front of him: "Do you think it's not good-looking?"

"Okay."

Okay? Is it okay to freeze a sentence? She pinched his down jacket neckline: "You never praised me, praised me for looking good, quick, praised me for looking good."

He laughed, his pupils were particularly bright in the moonlight.

...

Lu Yanchen looked away and continued to smoke.

"Thank you, help me." Gui Xiao squeezed out this sentence.

"polite."

The cold air was blown into the cracks in the bones, and she was holding out uncontrollably. "How many years have you been here?"

He squeezed the front of the cigarette with **** and sucked deeply, letting the cigarette go deep into his lungs: "Nine years."

"Not yet discharged?"

"this year."

"Go back?"

"The special police detachment of the station police recruited," he stared at her suddenly, "still in Erlianhaote."

Later that day, he didn't stay long.

When the "local friend" in his mouth came, he turned it over to the local police and drove away. The police drove the car directly and gave it to Xiao Cai, asking them to go back and make a record.

Because of Lu Yanchen's relationship, the policeman was very kind to them.

Closing the transcript, I officially started talking.

A few of Xiaocai's are doing foreign trade, and they will come most. After ten minutes of chatting, the topic naturally turns to the cool, almost impersonal man.

"... After waiting for a year, the road team was transferred from the anti-terrorism field to the police training section."

"... He will train and bring more than one thousand policemen every year. The road team really joins the army to fight against terrorism. He takes off his military uniform and continues to defend the people. Real man."

"... The doctor at the Armed Police Hospital said that the terrorists used a spear to poke directly into his mouth and sent it with blood all over him. Later, I joked with him. The road team has your face so marked, so be careful in the future what."

"... their squadrons are all anti-terrorist vanguards, dozens of anti-explosion experts came out, and they were robbed by the locals."

"... The road team was demolished in 30 seconds | time | exploded | bombed, no sweat was dripping, it was not a movie, it was the real thing."

...

None of this she knew.

In fact, after he separated, everything about him was not clear to her.

Because it was so unpleasant to split up at the beginning, so she was not able to ask his cousin Huang Ting cheekily, but only occasionally heard from the aunt ’s family. Oh, Huang Ting ’s family has a relative ’s son. Go to the army. Finally, I went to Inner Mongolia, so it is too difficult to adjust it back.

Before they left the police station, the policemen said that it was actually because someone in their squadron was injured during a mission and was treated at the nearby Armed Police Hospital. Lu Yanchen was able to come over.

The police finally copied his mobile phone number to Gui Xiao, saying that Lu Yanchen eventually returned to the Armed Police Squadron, and he could not come out at any time. If he encounters any troubles related to violations of laws and disciplines, he can just go to him.

Gui Xiao took it, said thank you, but also said, please rest assured that I will not bother him anymore.

After all, she really couldn't think of any chance to come to Inner Mongolia in the future.

But when he arrived at the hotel, Xiaocai softened and drank again. He wanted to meet again while Lu Yanchen was still in the city and expressed his gratitude for eating. The remaining partners also echoed.

Here, there is nothing to worship heroes. I really want to thank them, or I want to be covered in the future. In short, everyone is over-enthusiastic. Xiao Cai also picked up the phone and dialed Lu Yanchen's phone.

"Don't fight, I'm not familiar with him ... afraid of embarrassment."

"What's embarrassing, after all, you just don't know how to do this, and they've helped you so much."

Because she used China Telecom's network, she had a bad signal at the gas station. The call to Lu Yanchen was from Xiao Cai ’s mobile phone. Now that Xiao Cai has a phone number, Gui Xiao can't stop her.

"Hello? Road team?"

Gui Xiao was suffocated.

Xiao Cai winked at her and asked with a smile, "I want to invite you for a meal, and thank you. You don't know how important the car is to me. My husband just gave it to me. If I lose it, it will change. Thank you so much. "

...

"Just tonight, don't drag it on ...! OK, OK, I'll send you the hotel address in a while."

The call hung up, Xiao Cai was very happy: "Hurry up, change me into clean clothes and eat well."

Gui Xiao turned out his temporary clothes, and squatted in front of the box, wondering which suit to wear. This feeling can only be understood when you have loved a talent when you were young. Finally, wearing a pair of sky blue trousers and a white sweater, black ankle cashmere coat, black short boots.

Looking into the mirror, I thought he was wearing black military boots in the afternoon.

Go to the restaurant and open the private room door.

Inside there was only a little boy, seven or eight years old, looking up. When he saw Gui Xiao, his eyes flickered and he stared at her. They were all surprised and didn't know where the children came from.

Xiao Cai said to the waiter, "Who's that, you ask, don't the child go wrong, parents are worried."

"Auntie, I'm from Lu Yanchen's," the little boy grinned. "My dad smoked, so I'll stay here for the guests."
