[Full-time Chusu] Dreaming of death

After taking a closer look, I realized that the team in front had already walked a certain distance, so I hurriedly stepped up to keep up.

The scene in the embassy of country A is similar to that of the embassy of country C. There are not many staff left, and a large number of documents are thrown into the shredder to be shredded.Several country I cleaners are throwing the shredded paper scraps into bags for disposal.There is a cartoon poster of a bald eagle on the wall of the lobby, with the words "Welcome to Country A" written in both English and Arabic.Below the picture is a big sign with an arrow, which reads "We do not apply for visas for studying abroad, tourism, or work here. When you hear your name, please go to the office to see Mary."

Mary's office was closed at this time, and the staff leading the way led them to the second floor. The ambassador of country A left city B to return to his country as early as the summer, and the one who stayed here was only a temporary charge d'affaires.Compared with the ambassador, the level of secrecy and freedom are completely different. In addition, country A is the well-deserved leader of the multinational force, and the content of the charge d'affaires can be interviewed even less—"Half a year ago, country I did not When we sent troops to the K area, we had more than 40 staff members, and now there are only four. Everyone should feel very sorry for the war, but this is not controlled by human will." He talked eloquently to the recording equipment, and then a little solemnly The final conclusion is, "Country A is fulfilling its international obligations, and we have contributed to world peace. As for country I and their president... I don't think I can comment more."

"He really dares to say it." Chu Yunxiu whispered into Su Mucheng's ear, "I don't think President Shu is very sorry for the war. Is there a big difference between him and the bearded president?"

"Anyway, he's just an agent." Su Mucheng wrote down the main points in the notebook like flying, not surprised by the situation, "Isn't the agent just here to top the tank temporarily? Who cares what he says, anyway, sooner or later When it comes to fighting, no one has time to pursue these trivial matters after the war begins."

Although Chinese is a very small language in country I, in order to avoid being troubled by reporters from other countries, Chu Yunxiu lowered her voice and asked, "Do you also think there will be a fight?"

Su Mucheng's ears were itchy from the breath exhaled by the human body, she raised her arm and gently pushed Chu Yunxiu away with her elbow, "The United Nations ultimatum is to withdraw troops from the K area before January 1th, but they are already sold on the street." There is a new version of the map of Country I, it doesn’t look like it will withdraw troops, just look at it if you don’t believe me.”

"I believe it." Chu Yunxiu quickly pressed the shutter, "The bearded president is not scared."

"Scared?" Su Mucheng's pen tip paused on the paper, looking very confused, "Scared? What do you mean?"

Chu Yunxiu was slowly moving among the crowd looking for a better viewing angle and position. After hearing Su Mucheng's question, she just said casually, "Huh? Ah, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll teach you later."

Su Mucheng's expression froze, as if some heavy memory had been recalled, her voice lowered unconsciously, "...ah, um, okay."

Strictly speaking, the group interview at the embassy of country A was more like a small press conference. It was generally accepted by all the reporters present that the charge d'affaires couldn't ask anything.After the interview, some journalists from country A went to chat and make friends, while other reporters packed up their equipment and went back to their respective homes.After zipping the camera bag, Chu Yunxiu turned to Su Mucheng and asked, "I'm going back to the embassy of country C, are you going back to Hotel L?"

"I don't live in Hotel L." Su Mucheng shook her head and said with a smile, "But I usually stay at Hotel L when I don't go out for interviews. You can find me there. I'm really sorry for your trouble today. I have to go back first. I know you very well. happy."

In this tense situation right now, even if you leave your contact information, there is nothing to communicate with. The chances of both left and right meeting in City B are not low.So Chu Yunxiu didn't say anything more, but simply said goodbye: "Well, okay, see you next time."

The arrival of the Gregorian New Year brings a happy atmosphere to the depressed city B, but also casts a shadow.The final deadline for troop withdrawal given by the United Nations is getting closer, but as Su Mucheng said, the bearded president of country I has no intention of withdrawing troops at all, and even issued an order on New Year's Day requiring all boys over the age of 17 to come to the Reservists report; citizens who have joined the militia can get a gun.

Chu Yunxiu was walking on the way to L Hotel, constantly thinking about Wang Jiexi's comments on the current situation at the dinner table last night. City B seemed to be the most dangerous place in the world, but even so, she still had to go out to get today's interview pass.Yesterday, the bearded president issued another call for conscription, making up his mind to feed a fly to the mouth of the United Nations on New Year's Day.This move does not need to be thought about, but she knows that it will cause many repercussions. However, as soon as she stepped into the door of L Hotel, she saw the news officer of country I who had accompanied her for a few days to interview striding out, and greeted her when she saw her coming. , "Hey Chu, $1500, do you want to go?"

Journalists staying at the L Hotel cannot hire a car on the road without permission, and they have to use the car of the Ministry of Information of Country I to get in and out.Naturally, the government car will not be free, and it will be several times more expensive than hiring a car by yourself, but there is really no way - no matter what the reporter wants to do in City B, he has to follow the news officer, and even the coverage of the report is limited. There are rules.She received preferential treatment because of the country, and she could bring the press officer and drive out by herself, but now 1500 US dollars and an official car...Chu Yunxiu made a quick decision, "Let's go, I'll go get today's pass."

The crown car of the news department of country I took her and several other reporters to the newly built refugee camp on the border between country I and country Y.Since the United Nations issued an ultimatum to Country I and imposed sanctions such as a trade embargo and foreign assets freezing, countless people in Country I have embarked on the road of fleeing their hometowns.Those with more supernatural powers can go abroad by plane to join their relatives. Ordinary people have to migrate to neighboring countries by land. Country Y borders Country I and bears the brunt of the impact of refugees.However, country Y considers its neutral attitude and does not want to offend the coalition too much, and is quite stuck with the population entering through country I.Numerous refugees from Country I wandered around the border, hoping to stay away from their homeland that was about to be destroyed. The government of country I had no choice but to start building a refugee camp on the border, named R.

It seems that the government of country I is trying to create new international public opinion through Christmas Day and the R refugee camp, and at the same time try its best to smooth out the negative impact of the new year's conscription and gun distribution order.Seeing this situation, several reporters naturally understood the meaning of the government of country I—this did not violate their professionalism, and everything in front of them was indeed real.

Probably because of the new construction, it doesn't look like a refugee camp but a village with good conditions.Chu Yunxiu quickly installed the motor and lens and started working, carefully avoiding the inclusion of uniformed policemen in the frame—public officials are not allowed to take pictures, and women and children should not be taken as much as possible.This was repeatedly emphasized by their press officer on the way.Although there are very few things that can be photographed in this way, as a reporter, you still have to seize every opportunity.

Chu Yunxiu, who was engrossed in her work, didn't notice Su Mucheng was by her side until she changed the film—although she changed the angle and position during the photoshoot, she didn't notice when the latter appeared, but there is no doubt about it It was a surprise. She changed the film and asked, "Why are you here?"

"The $1750 asked me if I would come, so I came." Su Mucheng replied, "But I didn't expect to come to this kind of place. It seems that all my money was spent on gasoline."

When Chu Yunxiu heard the price, her first reaction was to laugh, "1750? Why is it so expensive for you?"

"Hey, what does this mean." Su Mucheng put down the camera and looked at her seriously, "Isn't that the price you came here for?"

"No." Chu Yunxiu couldn't help shaking her head, "I came here at 1500."

"..." Su Mucheng had an unbearable expression on her face, "I never expected to give discounts to foreign journalists."

"I don't think you look like a person from country I." Chu Yunxiu was in a good mood, and she spoke freely, "You don't look like you, and your name doesn't even look like you."

Chu Yunxiu said it unintentionally, but Su Mucheng could barely hear the meaning behind the words, and immediately explained: "It is true that I am not classified according to race and ethnicity, but it is counted according to nationality..."

These words sounded fresh, and Chu Yunxiu couldn't help but put down her hand that was going to continue taking pictures, "This seems like a long story?"

"I think I can make a long story short." Su Mucheng spread her hands, "But are you willing to listen?"

"Of course," Chu Yunxiu said, "everyone has curiosity."

"Then I'll just say it, I won't be responsible if you find it boring." Su Mucheng twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a little sentimentality, "...Actually, I grew up in a refugee camp, you may not I’ve heard that it was a permanent refugee camp on the outskirts of City B. Of course, it has been demolished now—I don’t know why, but my brother and I have lived there since I can remember, and my brother taught me Chinese. At that time There were only the two of us who could speak Chinese, so we talked a lot to each other every day... Those days were the happiest I have ever been.”

"That's great." Chu Yunxiu sighed quite a bit, completely oblivious to the obvious weakness in Su Mucheng's tone, "I don't have an older brother, but I have two cousins ​​who are naughty. I'm not young anymore, but I still have to I'll clean up the mess. They're nothing compared, your brother is so lucky."

"Yes, yes," Su Mucheng liked when others praised her with words like "it's great to have a sister like you", and the previous weakness disappeared immediately, "I also feel that I am very happy."

"Brother dotes on you, right? He didn't say anything about you doing such a dangerous job?" Chu Yunxiu asked following Su Mucheng's words.She likes the unrestricted ease when chatting with Su Mucheng, although she
