[Full-time Chusu] Dreaming of death

The mission here is to record the truth. "The personable ambassador spoke with a bit of inhumanity—he didn't need to perform like Chu Yunxiu, after all, he was a witness—even his eyes were calm to indifferent, "True reflection helps to correct Recognizing the dangers of things, although I personally don't agree with it, it does have a certain effect on avoiding wars.But there is one thing you have to remember: this is not domestic, and foreign affairs are no small matter. "

After he finished speaking, he greeted the official of the foreign ministry of country I who had recognized him, pointed to Chu Yunxiu behind him and said clearly, "This lady is a reporter from our country, and I will guarantee her as the ambassador of country C... "

There is no branch of country C news agency in city B, and Chu Yunxiu lived in the embassy of country C in country I under the guarantee of Wang Jiexi.The original golden roof of the building was painted with the flag of Country C, and four people, including Wang Jiexi himself, have yet to evacuate.As soon as Chu Yunxiu stepped into the embassy, ​​she received a notification from the Ministry of Information of Country I: According to Order No. 229 of the Revolutionary Instruction Committee, she needs to undergo a blood test within 5 days.

On the second day, Gao Yingjie, the Second Secretary of the Angel Pavilion, drove Chu Yunxiu to the designated place.Less than 20 days before the withdrawal date given by the United Nations, the city of B is already full of soldiers, and the police of country I in gray uniforms are patrolling the streets with loaded guns and live ammunition.Chu Yunxiu asked Gao Yingjie, and the other party said that it was to prevent spies from catching and stealing the film. Before she came, journalists from many countries had been sentenced to death by country I for their unruly behavior. No matter which country came to ask for extradition, they would not Let people go.

After hearing this, Chu Yunxiu's face turned a little green. Gao Yingjie looked at her and smiled embarrassedly, thinking that the senior sister next to him in college was frightened by what he said, so he quickly added to relieve her, "But it's not that I can't shoot, there are It’s enough for the press officer here to accompany them.”

The consoling effect of these words was at best nothing, and Chu Yunxiu forced a smile to calm herself down, deeply aware of what it meant to be "City B is a place that doesn't play cards according to common sense".She had never seen this before, because it seemed unthinkable to her to die at work.

On Christmas Day, a riot broke out in city B. More than 100 women and children from country I gathered in front of the embassy of country A early in the morning to protest against imperialism.Chu Yunxiu didn't live in the L Hotel, and when she went to get a pass and found out the news, the valuable hard goods had already been robbed. Relevant personnel of the Ministry of Information of Country I showed a considerable degree of joy in this incident, which made Chu Yunxiu get much more goodwill when he submitted the application to interview the diplomats of Country A than a few days ago.The person in charge approved her application with a smile, and even said Merry Christmas to her after completing the formalities.Chu Yunxiu, who has never had foreign festivals in China, didn't realize it for a while, and she got stuck before replying "Merry Christmas" - the people of I country don't believe this, this guy probably mistook her for those western reporters.

Compared with the smooth process of handling interview permit procedures, the itinerary for the next day's interview was not so good.As soon as she arrived at the embassy of country A, she realized that this was actually quite news worth following—the reporters waiting in front of the embassy could almost form another multinational force.Chu Yunxiu mixed into the noisy crowd, took advantage of the chaos and continued to move towards the entrance of the embassy, ​​and finally got in line behind a female reporter.She stretched out her hand and patted the slightly thin shoulder of the female reporter, and asked, "Excuse me, can you tell me what's going on now?"

The female reporter in the front row turned around and turned her original answer abruptly after seeing Chu Yunxiu, "...is that you?"

Chu Yunxiu was startled, and looked at her in a daze. When the eyes met, he suddenly remembered what happened at the airport in City B three days ago, and suddenly became very pleasantly surprised, "You were at the airport that day... what a coincidence , did not expect to meet here."

"Are you a reporter too?" She asked, pointing to the camera on Chu Yunxiu's chest. Before she could answer, she was attracted by the national flag of country C on his coat. "Are you from country C?"

"Eh?" Chu Yunxiu thought for a moment that she had heard it wrong. After all, the only people who spoke Chinese in Congress I were members of the embassy of Country C, but the second half of the sentence was clearly her mother tongue from novels to adulthood.Although very surprised, she still responded politely, "I am from country C, you can also speak Chinese?"

"Yes, I will." The other party smiled brightly, opened his arms and gently hugged Chu Yunxiu, "Hello, my name is Su Mucheng."

Su Mucheng—this name doesn’t sound like it was picked up by a foreigner learning Chinese. Chu Yunxiu is a little inexplicable. This kind of development always feels wrong in City B at this time, but for a while Unable to figure out what was wrong, she nodded and subconsciously reported her name, "Hello, I'm Chu Yunxiu."

Su Mucheng smiled immediately, looking very happy, "Yunxiu." She used the endearing address on her own initiative, but it wasn't annoying—probably because Qi Liu Haier is so cute that people can't bear to be angry— ——She repeated Chu Yunxiu's name again, the two syllables trembled slightly between her lips and teeth, and the mouth shape at the end formed a brighter and brighter smile, as if all the beauty and joy in the world were gathered in those two words , Whenever you think of it, you can stay away from all hardships.

"That's great," she said.

Chu Yunxiu, who couldn't help being infected with a cheerful atmosphere by the smile, also smiled, "Where is it so good?"

"Someone speaks Chinese to me again." Su Mucheng said softly, as if she was afraid that people around would overhear her little secret, "People here don't even speak English, no matter where they are, they speak Arabic. It's weird as hell, and it doesn't sound good at all."

"Haha, yes." Chu Yunxiu expressed his feelings together with sympathy, "Before I came, I was ordered to learn the language from a young man who majored in Arabic, but I forgot all about it after boarding the plane."

"Ah? Then what should you do?" Su Mucheng suddenly became nervous, and grabbed Chu Yunxiu's hand reflexively, "Reporters are strictly controlled here, and language problems may be... um..." She deliberated. Chu Yunxiu seemed quite relaxed about the words, "If you don't understand, just show them."

Su Mucheng's eyes widened, as if imagining the image of Chu Yunxiu's body language, and then burst out laughing, "You don't use body language to communicate when you apply for an interview, do you?"

"That's not true." Chu Yunxiu shook her head pretending to be serious, "There are still many people in the news department who can speak English, but when it comes to interview applications—" She regained her original calm and seriousness, stretched her neck and poked her head out to look around After a while, more and more reporters gathered in front of the embassy of country A, "What's going on here, are you all waiting here?"

"Yeah." Su Mucheng nodded helplessly, "Ghosts are always like this. Yesterday's news made them feel ashamed. Today, there are so many reporters coming to interview today. It's okay if they don't show enough. Even their own news agency The reporters who come here also have to wait here, and at this time, only the reporters have to be caught in the middle and suffer."

Chu Yunxiu smoothed Su Mucheng's hair, her hair was shining brightly under the sunlight, it was so beautiful.She is inexplicably calm and doesn't care about this kind of waiting, and it is easy to comfort others positively, "But this job is also chosen by us."

These words seemed to touch a certain nerve in Su Mucheng. Her expression seemed to be frozen for a moment, but soon melted into a warm and comfortable feeling day by day, which almost made people forget that she was in a war that was about to start at any time. danger zone. "Yes, we chose it ourselves, so no matter how hard or dangerous it is, it's worth it."

"I don't agree with that." Chu Yunxiu retorted bluntly, "Although it's really worth it, I still think it's more important to be alive."

Su Mucheng smiled again, since she and Chu Yunxiu started chatting, the smile on her face didn't seem to disappear completely, "Is that for sure?"

"That's right." Chu Yunxiu pretended to be serious, "Life is really precious."

"But the price of love is higher," Su Mucheng rolled her eyes, "That's really not bad at all, I've seen it with my own eyes."

"Have you seen it?" Chu Yunxiu smiled meaningfully, "I can't tell, where did you see it?"

"What?" Su Mucheng looked a little surprised, "Haven't you seen it? For example, the male army and the female air force kissed on the beach. Is this not very common in conflict areas?"

Chu Yunxiu shrugged, "It may be normal in a conflict area, but don't forget that I am from country C, and country C is not a conflict area."

Su Mucheng understood, "So you mean you're not a professional war reporter?"

"A professional war reporter? No, I think I'm a second-rate photojournalist, and maybe a third-rate writer." Chu Yunxiu said, "As for a war reporter, this is actually the first time."

"That's great." Su Mucheng nodded with a bit of envy, "It must be very comfortable if there is no conflict, you can go out with peace of mind, and don't have to be afraid that a bomb may suddenly fall at your feet and bleed your face..."

The embassy of country A seems to have relaxed the restrictions on visiting journalists, and the team in front of them is slowly moving.Chu Yunxiu observed the situation, and asked very quickly, "So you were bombed with blood all over your face?"

This is quite rude, it is completely the result of subconsciousness, and the moment I say it, I regret it rationally.But what he said couldn't be taken back, so he immediately turned to thinking about remedies.However, Su Mucheng didn't lose her temper because of this, she just raised her hand and patted Chu Yunxiu lightly, "Are you kidding me, I was really blown up with blood all over my face, how could I still be standing here, I was buried in an unnamed cemetery long ago .”

"Your description is too exaggerated..." Chu Yunxiu just replied half a sentence, Su Mucheng suddenly pulled away and walked away.
