[Full-time Chusu] Dreaming of death

Xiu's attention, she briefly explained the situation to the landlady with gestures, then put down the tools in her hand, walked to Su Mucheng and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Look over there." Su Mucheng pointed to somewhere outside the window, "Be careful, don't get scratched by the glass."

Chu Yunxiu looked in the direction she pointed, there was a group of people wearing the same military uniform surrounded another person - his clothes were completely different from the people around him - they seemed to be talking to him, but also Can clearly see the AK in their hands. "How is this going?"

"The one surrounded in the middle is a soldier of the coalition, I guess it is a pilot or something." Su Mucheng explained to Chu Yunxiu lightly, "It is estimated that the plane was hit by the anti-aircraft artillery on the roof and had to jump. Umbrella, but was captured as soon as it landed."

"...Is it okay?" Chu Yunxiu asked hesitantly.

"Okay?" Su Mucheng shifted her gaze from the window to Chu Yunxiu's face, "Why do you see that?"

"If you are captured, don't you count it as a non-combatant?" Chu Yunxiu said, "Although you will lose your freedom, it shouldn't be a problem to survive?"

"You're so naive." Su Mucheng pulled out a compassionate smile, which quickly turned into a mocking smile, "The words of treating prisoners kindly are just nice words...you really don't have any experience in the field?"

Chu Yunxiu showed embarrassment. She is good at theory in this respect, but once a war starts, no matter how many theories are, she will be blinded.If it wasn't for Su Mucheng, she might really not know what to do, "No."

Su Mucheng was not surprised by this answer. She knew that Chu Yunxiu was a novice in the battlefield—if she was not a novice, she would not take the initiative to stay in a place like City B—but the scene in front of her made her feel very helpless and tired. , the one who asked the exit was still an old question, "Then why did you get sent here?"

"Didn't I tell you that I'm the only one who is the most suitable?" Su Mucheng's words made Chu Yunxiu calm down. Basically not, but there are not many people in the photography department, so we can’t let those children who can’t speak come over, or interview the seniors who have been in World War II.”

"So, you are actually forced to be helpless?"

"Well," Chu Yunxiu said ambiguously, "it's hard to say that I was forced to do nothing... Maybe it's more appropriate to accept orders in the face of danger. Since you are sent here, then come here... But I wrote a suicide note before I left."

Su Mucheng smiled a little because of Chu Yunxiu's words. Although she knew that writing a suicide note was not a worry, the latter's tone really made people laugh.Chu Yunxiu was embarrassed by her smile, blinked her eyes and looked around, glanced at the group of soldiers outside the window inadvertently, and then let out a low cry: "Mucheng, look!"

"What's the matter—oh, I took it away." Su Mucheng said calmly, "Isn't this normal? There are no prisoners who won't be taken away."

"But you just said that treating prisoners well is just a nice way of saying...then he..."

"I don't know what will happen to him," Su Mucheng said indifferently, "Only God knows."

Chu Yunxiu froze in place, as if she didn't believe that Su Mucheng would be so indifferent.But the latter didn't have any special reaction, and just said to her: "Go and clean it quickly, I also have to nail the window when no one notices here. If it is found that there are people here, I don't know what trouble will come .”

"En." Chu Yunxiu nodded, turned around and went back to the landlady's wife to continue cleaning.The scene of the coalition soldier being taken away by the I country army kept appearing in her mind, but she thought what Su Mucheng said was right, they didn't know what would happen to him, not even the so-called heaven.Even myself is the same, no one knows what their tomorrow will be like-although tomorrow is not so far away.After cleaning the house, the three went back to the basement after eating something random in the kitchen by candlelight.It was difficult to distinguish day and night in the dim environment, and the landlady leaned against the flour bag in the corner, covered with a quilt carried from upstairs.Chu Yunxiu leaned on Su Mucheng, and Su Mucheng leaned on the pistol, and they all fell asleep after a while.And when they wake up again, there is no doubt that it will be a new day.

Although there is no distinction between the front line and the rear in modern warfare, city B, as the capital of country I, is naturally the top priority.It's just that the key areas also mean that you can't act rashly. The bombing density of the multinational forces here is completely incomparable with the state of the front line in the real sense-but still no one dares to take it lightly.The work of Chu Yunxiu and Su Mucheng was completely interrupted because they couldn't leave the house. The photojournalist who left the camera changed from a god with extraordinary abilities back to a human overnight and let life be filled with trivialities.However, once there are not too many details to take care of, the time will be stretched suddenly, and there are only a few things to do every day: listen to the radio, watch TV, avoid bombing, listen to the radio, watch TV, avoid bombing...

The situation on the next day was almost the same as the previous day. On January 1th, the English broadcast in country I was still the same clichés. According to the teachings, everyone should go to religious places to gather on this day. The government reminds all citizens not to forget their beliefs even in wartime.Chu Yunxiu has always been insensitive to religion, so he didn't care about it, but Su Mucheng's expression became serious in an instant, "This news doesn't sound right."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yunxiu wondered, "Because you didn't forget your religious beliefs after the fight?"

"No." Su Mucheng shook her head. "You don't understand this place. In my opinion, such a reminder is unnecessary. Almost everyone here believes in religion, so it is impossible to forget about Judah."

Chu Yunxiu was silent for a while, "You mean this reminder is not religious at all? Is there other reasons?"

"I think so." Su Mucheng gave her a deep look, then turned to talk to the landlady in Arabic, and after a while she switched back to Chinese and said to Chu Yunxiu, "I think what I said is right. Yes, at least our landlord didn't forget, and she can't understand English."

"So you mean," Chu Yunxiu spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about it while speaking, "tomorrow...some big news is very likely to happen. But we don't know exactly what it is. Country I The government may not know, but it will definitely happen?"

"Yes." Su Mucheng said firmly, "I believe that something will happen, it will be tomorrow, January 1th."

"Okay." Chu Yunxiu sighed exaggeratedly, "The way you said this reminds me of the time when we heard that the Secretary-General was coming a week ago, but I am very fortunate that this time we probably only Don't sleep all night."

"It might be two nights." Su Mucheng smiled and reminded her, "But it won't be more than that time."

At this moment, there was the sound of a car passing by outside the window. Chu and Su were taken aback for a moment, and then rushed to the only window that hadn't been completely nailed down—several cars with national flags were passing through this street under the guidance of military vehicles. , "The car of the embassy of country S," Chu Yunxiu recognized the flag on the car, and said softly.

"They are also very powerful, and they didn't withdraw until today." Su Mucheng made a simple comment and pulled back the wooden boards on the window frame, "Let's all go back to the basement to rest during the day, and it will probably be hard work at night. gone."

At midnight, Chu Yunxiu woke up from a deep sleep—she couldn't tell whether she was awakened by the gun under her neck or heard the terrifying loud noise in her dream.There was no light in the basement, and no candles were lit to breathe, but she still felt the terrified gaze of the landlady in the darkness.She collected herself, comforted the landlady with the little Arabic she knew, and tentatively called the person who was supposed to be sleeping next to her in Chinese: "Mucheng?"

No answer.The basement was filled with some strange muffled noise, as if someone was playing some dangerous game outside.She quickly became familiar with this kind of sound within a few days of the start of the war. It must be the coalition forces bombing again. It seems that Su Mucheng is right. She really wants to take advantage of the religious day to play some special tricks to provoke anger. It is quite suitable for I country, which is almost ruled by religion... But what about Su Mucheng?

"Mucheng?" She called again, "Mucheng, are you there?"

The landlady huddled in the corner yelled in Arabic in horror: "She's not here!"

Chu Yunxiu was taken aback, and then said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I don't understand. You, here, stay here. She, I, go find it." Her Arabic was really not enough, and she couldn't understand at the end. She was overwhelmed, and the complete sentence was broken into several words and came out rigidly. Fortunately, the landlady understood her meaning and asked her to go quickly.Chu Yunxiu, who felt that she was forced to go to Liangshan, gave a wry smile, got up and moved slowly towards the door, touching the wall.The basement was lit, and should have power by now if the circuit hadn't been completely blown out—not much better, but at least it's a little clearer.She quickly reached for the light switch and pressed it hard, and the light bulb on the ceiling turned on.However, the voltage was very unstable, and the only one star light kept flickering. Chu Yunxiu quickly looked around the room—the food and drinking water were there, the gun was obviously there, and the so-called valuable things were also intact. Su Mucheng and Su Mucheng's camera.She suddenly realized something, and turned sideways to twist the door lock—the door was just locked, and she clearly remembered that the door was locked when they came back here for the last time.

"I'm going to find her!
