escape the moon

Shen Yizhen thought that going to the nursing home would take about an hour by car, but when the driver came to pick him up in an aircraft, he was in a daze.Alice waved at him from the back seat, her small face finally protruded from the thick and huge helmet, making her look even more fleshless.Shen Yizhen could tell that she had lost weight, Xiaoshan did not lie, she had a bad time.

Other changes were subtle—she was wearing a bean red faux-fur jacket, her jeans and sneakers didn't look new, her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, her bangs were all pulled back, and her face was completely unreserved. exposed.Sometimes she stopped talking suddenly, and lowered her head in a daze for a few seconds, showing a calm and soft expression.

Shen Yizhen held her in her arms: "Is the baby good?"

Alice rubbed his chin coquettishly: "Baby is good, brother is not good."

"Why is brother not good?"

"Brother, you didn't come to see me, and you left without saying anything, so you are not good."

Shen Yizhen did owe her an apology: "My brother apologizes to you, okay?"

Alice bit his neck, and Shen Yizhen shrank her shoulders, screaming in pain.The little girl giggled, he clutched his neck, and went to catch the little bastard, she jumped off him and climbed onto the opposite chair, he rushed over and hugged her, she screamed to hide, Kicking and hitting, the loud laughter echoed in the sky at an altitude of 400 meters.

After playing enough, she climbed into the arms of her beloved brother again, and the tail of her hair swept back and forth on Shen Yizhen's neck, causing a slight itching.Shen Yizhen held the back of her head, kissed her forehead, and re-tied her hair.

The little girl hugged his shoulder tightly: "Brother, do you hate Uncle Xiao very much?"

Shen Yizhen's actions were methodical: "The matter between Uncle Xiao and I is very complicated. But don't worry, we all love you."

"Uncle Xiao is a good person." The little girl raised her face to look at him: "Brother, don't hate him, okay?"

Shen Yizhen was amused: "What kind of benefits does he give you for you to be a lobbyist?"

"I'm not a lobbyist, I'm very neutral." The word "neutral" is also new to her.She said seriously: "Did he treat you too hard? He already knew he was wrong. Did I ask him to apologize to you, did he also look for you? If Uncle Xiao was really a bad person, he wouldn't apologize to you Yes. Bad guys don’t feel like they’ve done something wrong.”

Shen Yizhen seemed to have no reason to refute her.He kept telling himself that Xiaoshan's repeated concessions were for Alice.But this reason does not make sense.Xiaoshan is his boss, no boss would apologize to his subordinates, even if he went through human history and moved from the earth to the moon, this is not normal.Besides, Xiaoshan is a general and senior official, and no more than ten people in the entire command post can surpass him.For example, if Feng Jiling had a bad temper one day and scolded the eighteenth generation of the little girl at the front desk, and the little girl quit in a fit of anger, would he apologize and let her stay?He will feel that this girl lacks "the ability to be hit".Even if this girl is really capable, Feng Jiling will not say sorry if he wants to consider negotiating terms with her.

So Xiaoshan went to apologize to Shen Yizhen, gave gifts and made a small fuss, he didn't go there as a boss and work partner, he went as "Xiaoshan".He didn't have to do this at all, but he did it, at least it showed that he didn't look down on Shen Yizhen, he was taking this relationship seriously.

The aircraft crossed the border of the sixth district and stopped on the outskirts of the seventh district.Shen Yizhen's attention was attracted by the scenery outside the window. The white hexahedron building of silver fish appeared in sight. It was shaped like a duck's bill, flat and wide, smooth and shiny. The brighter it was, the more eerie cold it appeared.They landed in the front yard, where they were greeted by the vice-principal and assistants of the nursing home.

The assistant to the dean took them to the inpatient department of the nursing home: "Master Yang came to our hospital in 23 years. He had very severe rheumatoid arthritis. He underwent surgery and replaced the artificial knee, but he was very uncomfortable. , his legs and feet have always been inconvenient. Mrs. Yang passed away last year. He was very sad and his liver function was not very good. Apart from practicing the piano and reading books, he didn't go out very much. Originally, there was no noise in the nursing home. For him, the hospital Chang specially applied for a special piano room for him to practice piano, and now he still keeps practicing piano for more than four hours a day. It’s just that he doesn’t create much, and always plays some old tunes.”

He took them to the piano room, the room at the end of the corridor.

Seeing someone coming, the nurse yelled into the room: "Ms. Yang, the guests have arrived."

Shen Yizhen was a little nervous because of the quiet atmosphere. When Yang Shaoqing came out, he froze on the spot and forgot to go up to shake hands and say hello.It was Master Yang who first reached out to him when he came over.When Yang Shaoqing was young, it was also the dream of a generation of women. However, after joint surgery, she could only walk with a cane, and she lost her elegant and romantic temperament.Seeing that his complexion was not good, Shen Yizhen couldn't help feeling sad.

"Sit down, I'm sorry to bother you." He helped Yang Shaoqing to sit down.Alice took the glass from the nurse, and as he took it he smiled at the little girl and patted the top of her head.

Alice instinctively felt kind to this grandpa: "Grandpa is good."

Yang Shaoqing looked at Shen Yizhen again: "General Xiao is my savior. If he has a request, I will definitely agree. Why, he didn't come today?"

Shen Yizhen was embarrassed: "The general has something to do temporarily, so I can't come to visit you. But he asked me to bring a message to say hello to you, old man." He asked his assistant to bring up all the supplements and gifts, many of which were valuable: "This is the general's A little thought, please accept it."

Yang Shaoqing didn't even look at it, and just asked the nurse to accept it: "Thank you, don't bring anything next time."

Shen Yizhen knows that he doesn't lack anything now, these things are icing on the cake, Xiaoshan's life-saving kindness is real.

"I actually met you once when I was very young, but you probably don't have any impression of me." Shen Yizhen blushed a little: "In 09, you went to the No. In the ceremonial team, I handed you tea. At that time, I liked your tune very much."

Yang Shaoqing still had a little impression of the speech: "I remember your elementary school is across the street from the State Affairs Building."

Most of the students there are children of State Department employees and officials.Shen Yizhen said: "My mother's family has several uncles and aunts who work in the State Affairs Building, so it is more convenient for me to go to school there."

"What is your surname Lingtang?"

"No expensive, my surname is Miao."

Yang Shaoqing shook her head: "Then I don't know each other."

Shen Yizhen smiled and said: "It was my own selfishness, and I have to work for the general to come forward. I am really embarrassed."

Yang Shaoqing was a little emotional: "That is also a precious thought."

Xiaoshan asked someone to send a message that he wanted to meet him, and he felt strange. This savior had never shown up since he was parted in the five districts. Why did he suddenly want to visit?It's really unreasonable for him to play the piano and write music, and he can't help the general.He didn't go out for a long time, and he didn't like to have too many guests visiting, but because of Xiaoshan's special status, he agreed after thinking about it.As a result, the assistant dean told him that it was a young secretary who had come.

He looked at Shen Yizhen carefully, who is this person who took the face of the general to see him?

"Since you're here, let's listen to two tunes before leaving." He sat by the piano and tried two notes casually.

Shen Yizhen pulled Alice to sit on the sofa behind and listened.Alice seldom listened to piano performances, so she whispered, "Listen well."

Of course it sounds good, but can Bach's composition not sound good?Shen Yizhen sighed and thought, listening to Yang Shaoqing play the Goldberg Variations to him alone would be enough for him to boast for a lifetime.He sneaked a glance at the piano score on the shelf. It should be Yang Shaoqing's personal creation. It may not be finished yet. The scratches on it are scrawled and messy. In some places, it is even impossible to tell which part has been changed and which part has to be kept.Shen Yizhen thought, is he still insisting on writing music?If he doesn't come out to play by himself, will he still lead apprentices or write music for others?

Before leaving, Yang Shaoqing called Shen Yizhen to stop.Alice was first brought back to the aircraft by the bodyguards.

The two adults walked back to the bedroom from the piano room.Yang Shaoqing handed him a stack of music books: "You know music, this is for you."

Shen Yizhen refused: "How can this be done, I will accept your gift even if I bother you."

"I can't play it anyway, so it's worth giving it to someone who understands music." Yang Shaoqing smiled.

Shen Yizhen opened the book, and there was Yang Shaoqing's signature on it: "Thank you. This is too precious. I will definitely keep it well."

"In order to celebrate the reunification, they wanted me to write a suite, which can be released at the New Year's party. I said that I am old and I have nothing in my head, so I can't write it." Yang Shaoqing shook his head: "After I refused, I felt a little uncomfortable I am willing, I still want to try it in private, but after writing it for more than a month, it still doesn't look like it. These are old songs that have been written one after another in the past two years."

Shen Yizhen comforted him: "Take care of your body first, and then you can write in the future."

Yang Shaoqing didn't answer right away. After a while, he said: "The things I can do are too insignificant, and I feel guilty when I think about it now. I am so famous, but I haven't contributed anything. In the end, I still worry about it."

Shen Yizhen took him too modestly: "Don't say that, who doesn't suffer from three diseases and five disasters?"

"Thank you," Yang Shaoqing smiled at him, "Say hello to the general for me too. He is a man with a heart and righteousness. It is great that the country has a hero like him."

Shen Yizhen nodded and said yes, but secretly still felt that the words were too exaggerated.However, the kindness between Yang Shaoqing and Xiaoshan is beyond fate, no matter how high the savior is, it cannot be overstated.

In fact, he has always been curious about the details between Xiaoshan and Yang Shaoqing: "Is that photo of you and the general real?"

Yang Shaoqing was amused: "Of course it's true. I took two photos, one with me and one with him."

Another one?Shen Yizhen said, "Can I see your picture?"

Yang Shaoqing took it out for him from the drawer in the bedroom.There is no difference between the two photos, with Xiaoshan's signature and blessings such as "good health" on the back.Shen Yizhen secretly wondered if she could ask for a photo with Master Yang.

Yang Shaoqing looked at the photo with emotion: "He personally carried my wife out, and I am very grateful to him. Otherwise, Jiajia would not have had the opportunity to accompany me for the past few years. My wife was seriously injured at the time, and she I wanted to give up, but I didn’t want to follow us. The general picked her up without saying a word, and encouraged her along the way, saying that both the child and the husband need you.”

Shen Yizhen looked at the photo with deeper and deeper eyes.

Yang Shaoqing let out a low laugh: "I can see that he was dissatisfied with the rescue mission. In order to save us, he sacrificed several soldiers. They would quarrel behind their backs and felt that it was not worth it. They might as well kill a few more enemies." . Later, when we took a group photo, I said, I’m sorry for sacrificing your family for my family. He said, this is not a life-for-life thing, and no one deserves to die in a war. He didn’t play me off, or say Kind words. I think this person is very sincere. Even if he doesn't like me, he thinks that this artist has no power to restrain a chicken, and he can only add chaos on the battlefield. But he can see that I am worth saving side."
