Hou Boqing and Qi Lin took a quick wash in the house, got on the bus and went to the more desolate countryside.
Hou Boqing's fingers trembled slightly. Qi Lin looked at his friend, who looked very patient. He couldn't say what he felt.
Hou Boqing asked Qi Lin to accompany him to some place, but he was afraid that he would be too impolite and do something irreparable.
Qi Lin's house in the suburb just now, although it is nominally under Qi Lin's name, it is actually Hou Boqing who has the most rest there.
The sky is still dark, but more suffocating than the darkness is the depressing sadness and despair of Hou Boqing.
Qi Lin raised his hand and patted Hou Boqing on the shoulder as a consolation. At this time, what he said seemed pale and powerless.
The car soon stopped in a desolate place.
It is desolate because there is a well-known cemetery here.
Because this place was originally very desolate, or a long time ago, a geomantic master saw that this land was very suitable for making a shady house. After a general transformation, this place became the preferred cemetery for dignitaries.
Hou Botao's parents and his wife are all buried here.
Hou Botao stood outside the cemetery, surrounded by darkness like a beast, engulfing it.
Qi Lin also got out of the car. The cold outside made Qi Lin sober.
Although Qi Lin and Hou Boqing do not believe in ghosts and gods, walking in the middle of a graveyard is cool.
The grave keeper is a lame old man, who usually turns on the street lights outside his small house at night.
The tombstone is built on the mountain. It takes a while to walk from the foot of the mountain to the flat land on the mountain.
The old man opened the door for them and handed them a flashlight. He couldn't help saying, "it's dark. It snowed two days ago. Be careful when you go up."
The old man was also alone, so he became a grave keeper here.
Qi Lin followed several bodyguards behind him. He said that his face was mild: "thank you for your concern. I'm sorry to disturb you so late."
The old man shook his head and looked at Hou Boqing, who had already stepped forward. He sighed: "I know this young man. Let's go! Go early and return early. "
Qi Lin nodded to the old man and turned to catch up with Hou Boqing.
The bodyguard handed the old man an envelope with only some money in it. The old man didn't say anything. He took it and watched the bodyguard protect Qi Lin and Hou Boqing as they walked up the mountain.
....
speaking, Hou Boqing's life experience is relatively simple.
At that time, the liberation happened. His parents fell in love freely, and the family background was just right, which saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Hou's brother is Hou Boqing's father.
The eldest uncle of the Hou family was very harmonious at that time. The only bad thing was that the eldest uncle of the Hou family was a soldier. He was shot and killed every day. It was hard to say when he would go, which worried his mother.
When Hou Boqing was a child, what impressed him most was that every time his father went out for a long journey, he would kiss the corners of his mother's mouth, kiss his forehead, and sonorously say to him and his mother, "wait for me to come back."
Every time, mother would smile and nod: "OK, Xiaoqing and I will wait for you to come back." His voice was as gentle as ever, full of trust in his father.
Then, in the absence of his father, tears.
Little Hou Boqing didn't know why his mother was so sad, and then after she was sad, she took care of herself like nothing happened, waiting for her father to come back.
Every time his father came back, although he was clean and tidy, Hou Boqing still remembered that his father either had a bandage on his arm or was on crutches.
And the mother is tears in the eyes, even if it is sad and happy, but never angry.
Hou Boqing's father is not at home all the year round, but his mother never complains.
On that day, my father, as usual, would "go far.".
The tall uncle of the Hou family looked at his gentle wife and young child. His voice was different from the cold eyes of the soldiers. Instead, he was full of tenderness: "wait for me to come back."
The woman still nodded gently, looking at her husband who was going to fight, even though she was reluctant to give up.
Uncle Hou hugged his wife and said in a low voice, "this is the last time. After this time, I will retire."
Hou Boqing's mother quietly red eyes, nodded, slightly choked: "good."
The uncle of Hou family looked at his ignorant son and flicked his forehead: "boy, when Dad comes back, I'll take you out to play!"
At that time, Hou Boqing was nine years old and initially understood that his father was a great man. He knew that every time his father went out, he was going to do great things.
However, in the world, the other party is also his own father. Hou Boqing also hopes that the other party can play with him.
Even after nearly 20 years, Hou Boqing still remembers his father's resolute face and the smile before he went out.The old-fashioned Hou family uncle, who came back that time, was not wearing bandages or crutches. Instead, he was in the cold morgue, dressed in military uniform, with stars shining on his shoulders.
Hou Boqing was numb with cold, and his mother's suppressed cry was in his ears.
Nine year old Hou Boqing has been ignorant of what is life and death, what is the separation of yin and Yang.
At that time, Hou Boqing thought that he didn't want to come to the morgue or hospital any more.
At the age of nine, Hou Boqing saw off his father, who stood up and defended his country. At the age of ten, Hou Boqing saw off his mother, who was in hospital.
Yes, Hou Boqing's mother's health has been bad. At that time, Hou's uncle often held his wife and joked, "it's OK. If you leave early, I can send you. I don't need you to send me. It's just sad."
But things are hard to predict. Who knows it was the uncle of the Hou family who left first?
And Hou Boqing appears in the morgue again to see off his lover.
At that time, at the age of 18, Boqing directly joined the army and became a soldier.
Hou Boqing had been in the army for three years. At the age of 21, he finally knew what his father had died for.
Yes, uncle Hou is a special forces soldier. The last task he received at that time was to strangle a drug trafficking gang. Unfortunately, the drug trafficking gang belonged to that mysterious organization.
It was at that time that Hou Boqing passed the test and became a member of the national special action team. After a year of special training in the action team, Hou Boqing has a thorough understanding of the organization.
Hou Boqing, 22, was very young and full of vitality. After learning the cause of his father's death, he kept holding his breath. After passing the training, he could not wait to meet the organization
and then he met his lover.
