In the middle of the year, the summer heat is so intense that the cicadas are incapable of chirping.
Da Liu and Shen Mu went to Record Mountain to see Lin Luchu, and the plane arrived at Anjiang Airport at eight in the morning.
The flat streets outside the airport are brightly lit with sunshine, green lawns, and travelers shuffling their luggage in a hurry.
Da Liu took off his sunglasses and fixed his eyes on the pedestrians going to and fro, his eyes were hooked by a long-legged beauty, "Ah Mu, there's a beauty."
Shen Mu was too lazy to care about him, reached out and hooked his arm, pulling the man out, "Let's go, Lu Snapdragon is at the door."
Lin Lu Snapdragon waited outside the terminal, and as soon as the two of them went out, they saw a black jeep-shaped car parked at the intersection.
The man was sitting in his car, window half open, looking down at his cell phone.
Shen Mu dragged Dah Liu over, stood in front of the car window, Lin Lu Snapdragon probably noticed the cover over the silhouette, raised his head, Shen Mu hand on the roof of his car laughing, Dah Liu let out a cry, "Snapdragon master eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Lin Luchu still had little emotion, curving the corners of his mouth, dropping his cell phone into the front panel of the car, his hands on the steering wheel, and inclining his head to signal them to get in the car.
Shen Mu got in the passenger seat.
Big Liu in the back seat to study his car, BAIC BJ40, configuration down less than 120,000 points, "Seriously, turn back to throw you that Honda, or this model with you. But you can buy jeep wrangler, that car handsome, I saw the day before yesterday who drove out to pick up girls, handsome fried."
Lin Lu Snap started the car, pulling the corner of his mouth in disbelief, "Don't take you to be so extravagant."
Shen Mu: "Whose car is this?"
Lin Lu Snap glanced at the rearview mirror, steering the wheel, and said absently, "A kid on the team's."
Shen Mu: "I told you not to come and get it, and you still borrowed a car from someone?"
Listen to borrow a car, Liu also with the unprecedented like looking at Lin Luchu, think carefully, Lin Luchu rarely tube people borrow things, perhaps because of the character, he has always disliked to borrow things with people, remember when I was a child, once in the big Liu's home to play, or a severe winter, a few children in the backyard baking fire to play, as a result of Lin Luchu take off in a side of the jacket to the fire, minus ten degrees on the shirt to be freezing, Liu said to lend him a piece of clothing.
Not even to death.
The next day on the freezing cold, that is Lin Lu Snapdragon memory of the first time to get sick, the body develops quickly as a child, a little sickness and pain to endure will pass, but that fever for four days did not go down, and after that did not see him borrowed things with others.
Ever since then, the brothers knew the man had too much pride.
But it's not like he's borrowing the car.
Zhao Guo knew that he had taken a leave of absence to go to the city for a day, and purposely gave him the car keys to drive his own car, so that he could send something to his old mother in Anjiang.
Big Liu sighs: "Look at you can, get get get, so a few days and collected a bunch of little fans? Shelved in the head when the king of the mountain?"
Lin Lu Snapdragon stopped for a red light and snorted, "Less bullshit."
Five seconds later.
The car was back on the road, and Lin Luchu made a U-turn and went to Zhao's mother's house first to deliver something.
Zhao Guo lost his father at an early age, his mother single-handedly brought him up, graduated from the college entrance examination with poor grades, and then enlisted in the fire department, the family is left with a mother, working in a small factory workshop, see Lin Lu Snapdragon quite enthusiastic greeting.
Lin Luchu passed Zhao's stuff over, an oversized packet.
Zhao mother took it and enthusiastically stayed them down for dinner, Lin Luchu politely declined and said a polite goodbye to the people.
Zhao mother called out to him, "Ah Guo is still obedient in the team, right?"
Lin Lu Snapdragon stopped, "It's fine, don't worry."
"By the sound of your accent, you're not from around here?" Zhao's mother was witty.
Lin Lu Snap nodded, "Uh-huh."
"Where's your old neighborhood?"
"Beixun."
"The north, that's pretty far. Why did you come here? You're homesick, aren't you?"
Lin Lu Snap's back was tall and against the light, Zhao mother's eyes were bad and slightly squinted, but she could also see the silence of the man in front of her.
Homesick?
It's okay.
Miss her?
It's okay, too.
Finally, Zhao's mother said, "OK I won't hold you up, you all take care of yourselves and work hard."
Lin Luzhong politely said goodbye.
When I turned around, I saw an old man passing by, glancing at them and shouting, "Hey, old auntie, your son came back to see you?"
Zhao mother laughed, explaining to people: "My boy which have people look handsome na, this is my son teammate, entrusted to send things, next time the country child back to let him on your home to see you go, so that you do not blindly recognize."
The old man heard, pushed the old glasses carefully a stare, think also not quite like, "Yes yes yes, this young man handsome, Zhao Guo dark."
That said.
But as soon as Zhao's mother heard others say that her son was black, she couldn't help but retort, "Our Zhao Guo that's not called black, it's called healthy! Don't make things up if you don't understand."
Lin Lu Snapdragon listened to the whole thing.
While walking back, he smiled down helplessly.
Memory, his mother dignified and generous, never argue with people, when he was a child always heard people train him, his mother did not say a similar word for him, she is the world's eyes virtuous lady, she is gentle and generous, understanding.
But not like a mother.
The world is full of mothers like Zhao's mother, who is too straight-talking for her own good.
......
The three hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Found a restaurant to eat, An Giang is not a big place, you can probably drive around the city in half an hour.
Lin Lu Snapdragon parked his car, and Shen Mu and Da Liu were already knocking on the table and waiting.
He walked over and pulled out a stool and sat down, "What's to eat?"
Shen Mu: "Whatever."
Big Liu: "Is there abalone here?"
Lin Luchu sat in a chair, his back leaning back, looking down at the menu, "You're not afraid of choking to death either."
Shen Mu poked Dah Liu, "Can you leave some wives for Lu Snapdragon? He hasn't gotten a wife yet."
Da Liu snapped, commiserating, "Let's have elbows in sauce then."
Lin Lu Snapdragon glanced at him and laughed, thinking that this kid looked comical.
After ordering, the three of them leaned back in their chairs and chatted.
"How's it going? You didn't suffer, did you?"
Lin Lu Snapdragon smiled, "Not bad."
Bitter?
Really not bitter, compared with the former military school, this bitter is nothing, at most, the living conditions than the other side of a little worse, because in the mountains, the hot water supply is not timely, and sometimes in winter after the training or return from the mission, there is no hot water to take a shower, but also cold water to the top of the head a pour.
And I've changed a lot of bad habits.
He actually quit smoking a little bit, not as much as he used to hate it, and at times like this, he basically went to the door to smoke.
Now it's possible to go a day without touching a cigarette.
Sometimes when I really want to smoke, I just crouch under the flowerbed of the building and quietly smoke one.
A lot of the time, he wouldn't think of Nanchu.
Even if he occasionally saw news about some of the actors, he wouldn't think of Nanchu.
Only when smoking.
As soon as the scarlet flame ignited and that smoke passed through his mouth, the nicotine stimulated the brain, the knot in his throat rolled slowly, and the taste of tobacco entered along his chest.
For a moment, the woman's face came to mind.
It's clear.
He crouched down and tilted his head, exhaling slowly in smoke rings, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Sometimes he was alone, sometimes he was with Zhao, who was so foul-mouthed that he couldn't help but strike up a conversation with him, "Snap, have you ever had a woman?"
Somehow.
Everyone on the team was curious about his relationship history, except for the captain and the instructor, a bunch of ass-kissing kids who were curious about the questions.
Lin Lu Snapshot would glance at him, taking a fresh drag on his cigarette, and with the smoke exhaled, faintly voiced, "There have been."
Ever.
Jo, still single, asked curiously, "And now what?"
"No."
Zhao Guo a burst of regret, "But you such a child, should not lack of girlfriend, I fucking from the womb is single, so far have not had a girlfriend, when I was studying was like a girl, I did not go to college, people do not look at me, and went with the university together, after the army, contact are men, I sometimes lie in bed and think, if I one day I sometimes lie in bed thinking, "What if I die in the line of duty one day--"
Probably realizing that it wasn't very auspicious, the conversation turned and he muttered lowly, "It's better to stay out of trouble."
Lin Lu Snap stood up, stomped out his cigarette, put his hand in his pocket, and pushed his head, "Nonsense, according to you, no one who is a soldier can get married? Although it's true that women are sometimes quite irrational, it's true that having a home will feel different."
As if he had heard gossip, Zhao Guo said, "Sister-in-law is being unreasonable?"
Lin Lu Snapdragon thought about it, can remember is the morning wake up that slap, get up when the energy up, really six parents, hand holding what on Hulun over.
"Occasionally."
"Sister-in-law must be beautiful."
In the darkness of the night, the wind rushes through the trees and the branches rustle.
He graciously admitted, "Eh, it's really pretty."
Probably because Nanchu corrected his aesthetics, he had never had much of a concept of women's aesthetics, and there weren't many women who looked good to his eyes.
And Nanchu was the prettier the more he looked.
At that time, Zhao Guo thought, "I don't think it can be as beautiful as a star, can an ordinary person be more beautiful than a star?
It must be the lover's eye.
There was a TV set in the restaurant, which was broadcasting a mid-autumn festival party on a TV channel.
A group suddenly sprang up on the stage, and as the familiar intro sounded, Da Liu turned his head to look and caught a glimpse of Seo Ji Yi's twirling, powerful dance moves.
Lin Lu Snapdragon saw the clue, tilted his head and pointed, "You two?"
Da Liu bowed his head and stammered, "Divided."
Lin Lu Snapshot glanced at him and didn't make a sound.
Da Liu and Shen Mu exchanged glances, then Da Liu stumbled, "Lu Snapdragon, I have to tell you something, don't be angry--"
Lin Lu Snap twirled his cup and looked at it, "Uh-huh."
Biting his lip, releasing it, and biting it again, Da Liu couldn't get nervous, and Shen Mu urged, "Alright, say it."
Da Liu clenched his teeth, "The matter between you and Nanchu ...... was stabbed by that girl to the media."
Lin Lu Snapdragon suddenly looked up and stared at him, his dark eyes looked at the bottom of Da Liu's heart a panic, but still honestly told all the things.
"Soon after you left, I let Amu to check, Amu found a marketing blurb provided by a small number is that I inadvertently apply for abandoned for a long time, I thought it was stolen, at first that girl also did not recognize, and then could not afford to me every day to interrogate, simply show me the cards."
It was still Christmas and it was snowing heavily.
Xu Zhiyi showdown with him when the expression is also quite cold, Da Liu felt that he quickly do not recognize the girl in front of him, after hearing, he was angry and anxious, did not control, put down a slap flung over.
He would always remember that scene when Lin Luchu left.
"Are you fucking crazy? Why did you do that? Do you know what you've driven my brother to? You've driven people to the fucking ravine!"
Seo Ji Yi was hit sideways and just coldly said, "It's not nice to see her."
Her heart is more guilty, but she can not say, Nanchu robbed her role, she is not so angry, I thought that the matter of grabbing resources depends on the ability, I thought Nanchu is also the same as her, despite the Lin Lu Snapdragon, but still inevitably have to rely on the sleep to get the resources, and then in the banquet hall by Nanchu saw her with an old man, and overheard people say, it is the second son of Jiangge grabbed her resources, I thought that the two people have a bit of something, but the result is that they have nothing to do with her, and she has nothing to do with her. The result is that Jiang Ge has nothing to do with her, just because he likes to hold her.
She was cynical.
Da Liu squatted down and covered his face in pain, "How do you expect me to face my brother?"
And in that moment, he also shamefully thought, why don't you bring Xu Ji Yi to find Master Snap and Nanchu to apologize, if Master Snap doesn't forgive, this matter is considered to be something he owes them both, in this life, let him be a cow or a horse is willing to pay back.
Kagome girl had no intention of following him if she tore her face off.
At that time, Da Liu still refused to break up, and finally or Shen Mu put that old man's photo to him to see let him completely dead heart.
Seo Ji Yi has also become a minor hit during this time, with better resources than before, and more appearances on programs, which Da Liu occasionally sees, and he smiles to himself.
Long gone are the days when she was a pure girl and now her eyes are full of lust for money and fame.
Lin Lu Snap listened to him, twisted his cup, and muffled his drink.
"Lu Snapdragon, I'm blind, I owe it to you and Nanchu, I'll do whatever you two want me to do."
Lin Luchu finally became impatient and spoke out, "Alright, it's all over."
Da Liu snapped, "Women are no good."
"This sentence I agree." Shen Mu smiled, wrapped his arm around Da Liu, "Buddy give you an idea, turn around, you buy a Rolls Royce, and then pack a her same company's senior sister or something, every day to the door of her company a pestle, this thing will be put down."
Da Liu grunted, "Bullshit, with that money I donate to those left-behind children in the mountains is also better than spending it there, at least I can still contribute to the country's charity."
Shen Mu laughed, "Okay, there is awareness, Junior."
"Fuck off, dude doesn't have any money like you."
The two made a scene.
Lin Lu Snapdragon cooperated with a smile, lowered his head to touch the cigarette box, knocked one out, and did not smoke, but twisted in the phone to play.
The two stopped to look at Lin Luchu.
Quiet for a moment.
Shen Mu gave a dry cough, "Lu Snapdragon."
"Hmm?" He whispered.
"Nanchu is back in the country."
The movement of his hand stopped for a split second, followed by a, "Oh."
Shen Mu: "I met her at a charity organization's event a while back, she was a volunteer."
"Say what about her?"
Shen Mu Da Liu looked at each other, in the end did not say any more.
You probably don't know, that girl joined the volunteer fire brigade, and she even went to the rescue and did the logistics for the earthquake in Shanbei a while ago.
That girl is now mixed really quite good, with the previous company terminated the contract, and now is the South Moon Ru personally found a team to bring her, that team will come to things will also be marketing.
Her Twitter feed is no longer pandemonium, and while there are still quite a few people who hack her, at least there are quite a few people who like her now.
She's quite capable of self-hatred now, too.
During the interview, he played Tai Chi with the reporter, but Shen Mu always felt that Nanchu was a little bit different from before, but he couldn't tell where it was different.
Lin Luzhu didn't want to hear it.
He didn't say any more, picking up trivial things to tell him.
The sun is sinking in the west.
Lin Lu Snapdragon arranged a place for the two to stay and drove back.
As a result, a phone call was taken on the way.
It was Director Yang who called, his voice permeated with a strong sense of repression, "Lu Snapdragon, ah, you're free to come back for a trip."
Lin Lu Snap had a premonition, "What?"
Yang Zhengang originally did not want to make this call, knowing that he was not good at taking leave, but in the end, he did not hold back.
"Little Nine ...... sacrificed."
