escape the moon

The rain is over, and it is still hot and rheumatic fog outside.Shen Yizhen looked at the iron-red mist through the car window. He couldn't get used to the air of this color. He was terrified to see it. What could cause this gloomy, bloody red?

The car was walking on the long street, and people's backs silently overlapped in the messy street.Above the head is the magnetic levitation track, the steel arm is pierced into the thick fog, and the commuter trains come and go like shadows.

"I read that thousands of years ago, human beings conceived to move to Mars, and drew a blueprint." Shen Yizhen's voice was very quiet: "Tell me, will the ancestors be disappointed when they know that we are now on the moon?"

Xiaoshan raised his eyebrows at the rearview mirror, and put one hand on the operating panel: "What crooked novels are you reading again?"

Shen Yizhen showed a simple smile because of these words.

Xiaoshan turned on the radio, and the music channel was playing a triumphal symphony.The general tapped the panel, and the radio snapped off again.

Shen Yizhen satirized him sincerely: "Let's go, the whole country is celebrating your triumphant return."

Xiao Shan said: "I just let you have a meal with me, don't be so resentful?"

Shen Yizhen replied: "This is a private use of public power."

Another great sin.Xiaoshan finally understands that his image in Shen Yizhen's heart cannot be changed, so what does it matter when he turns around and thinks about it?If you don't like him anymore, why don't you obediently get in his car and eat with him?

"You are allowed to work in the army for private use of public power, do you want it?" Xiaoshan asked.

Shen Yizhen froze, and pursed her lips forcefully, he couldn't tell if Xiaoshan would really do such a thing.

The general couldn't help laughing: "Are you stupid? The thirteenth district has been captured, and the front line is now at a standstill. What's the trouble?"

Shen Yizhen made a sideways look, but he gently caught it.The car stopped in front of a red light, Xiaoshan freed up a hand to scratch his nose: "Cowardly."

The atmosphere is too intimate.Shen Yizhen was overwhelmed by the phrase "cowardly", and didn't react for a long time.

Is Lao Jun scary?It must be better than going to the front line, but he was afraid, too scared to think about it, so scared that he was uneasy even mentioning the word.It was a psychological shadow, a humiliating past. In 22, he had just graduated to work, and was assigned to the secretary's office of the command post. That year, the fifth district was battered. He fought intermittently for seven months with no results. The front line was tired and the morale of the army was lax.The higher-ups then organized a labor force, and he didn't know why he was selected. Before he went, he said that it would be good to sing and dance.

It is a political mission, and it is an honor to be selected, and there are many benefits - participating in a military service will increase your performance by 78%, and it will be recorded in the merit record. It is said that many people are eager to go.Shen Yizhen didn't want to show it anymore and couldn't show it. He went, and the orderly told him that this was the advance team of the [-]th Division. It had just completed the rescue mission and fished out a famous musician from the enemy camp.He was a little touched, musicians are important, and it makes sense to be rescued.At this time, some soldiers came over and asked him to dance on the stage. He said that I can't dance, and one of them said with a rough laugh that you can stand and take off your clothes.

Didn't he think they were saving lives?Why do you say such things?The director turned a blind eye, he thought he should just run away and lose his job, even if he was arrested and sent to a military court, it would be better than stripping.Someone hugged him from behind, and mouth to mouth took a sip of wine. The wine was so spicy that it made him cough.He struggled hard, and the man whispered a warning in his ear, be good, or I will throw you to them.He was drunk so much that he was dizzy. He suspected that it was not alcohol but drugs.

Waking up on the simple camp bed the next day, Xiaoshan was still in his body.

That was his first time.

Shen Yizhen said bluntly: "I'm not you, I won't sell myself for a future."

This is an angry remark, and it has already happened, no matter how unwilling it is.

Xiaoshan thought he was losing his temper: "It's okay for you to say this to me in private. If others hear it, you should be careful."

Putting a hat on is disrespecting the labor policy, disrespecting all the people who give condolences to the labor force, and adding an insult to active servicemen and senior national military officials. Just this sentence, Xiaoshan recorded it and handed it over to the command post. Shen Yizhen can be sentenced tomorrow .

But why?Obviously he was the one who sacrificed, but he didn't want to force him, he gave in, and he couldn't even complain.

Shen Yizhen was wronged: "I just said, what's the matter with you? Do you want to report it? Go!"

Xiaoshan was a little irritable, the car screeched to a stop on the side of the road, making Shen Yizhen shrink back in fright.Xiaoshan squeezed his chin and pulled him closer: "Shen Yizhen, how old are you, can you be more mature? How to speak and how to survive? You are the only one who suffers? You are the only one who suffers?"

"I don't know!" Shen Yizhen screamed, staring at him with red eyes: "Go! You put a strange man on the bed with alcohol, tossing and turning, you go! I wish I could die—"

A mouth full of cigarette smell covered it, blocking the words behind it.

Xiaoshan's hand instead supported his side face, gently caressing and comforting him, which was really not his style.Shen Yizhen was frightened and stiff, but fortunately her lips only touched briefly, and the man sighed and said: "I will be sad if you die. Don't say angry words."

Shen Yizhen turned her head away from looking at him, trembling all over.The general let him go: "Okay, anyway, I must be the one who committed the most serious crimes. I bullied my superiors, took advantage of others' dangers, murdered and set fires, stole chickens and dogs... Feel your conscience, except for that one time, have I ever harmed you? In the past few years , I also write a greeting card during the holidays, how about you? You didn’t even reply to a message, how can you learn to be polite. "

Shen Yizhen just wanted to plug her ears.He still has the face to be polite!

"I still work as a secretary, and all the secretaries are as smart as ghosts. Just you, you are still writing manuscripts after working for many years." Xiaoshan restarted the car: "I don't think you should be a secretary, go to the labor union, find a freelance job, a It’s okay to buy half a catty of apples a month.”

Secretary Shen muttered softly, "I just like writing manuscripts."

Xiaoshan saw that his mouth and eyes were also red, and he laughed: "The manuscript is well written, and the literary talent is also good. As expected, he has gone to college. Isn't this very good? You need to look good, you need ability, ability, The family has a job, don’t move around and die, I’ve seen a lot of dead people, do you think it’s like being shot on TV and then fell down? My brain is cracked and I’m dragging my brains and running all the time, die I can't die for more than ten minutes..."

The more she said the more outrageous, Shen Yizhen couldn't bear it anymore: "Shut up."

General Xiao is willing to obey.There was a traffic jam on the road, and the heavy rain caused the water to be too deep. A car was submerged in the middle, and the traffic police were calling the aircraft to come over to deal with the scene.They waited for 10 minutes, the front remained motionless, and there was a long queue at the back, which was stuck in the middle. Xiaoshan lit a cigarette impatiently, turned the control panel, and the flight drive hummed on. Shen Yizhen immediately felt the height rise .

At this time, you will know the benefits of the official university, and the car that can be used for both land and air is not something that ordinary people can drive.It was rare for Shen Yizhen to sit down once, and she was a little excited.They drift along the magnetic levitation track, and the gray street is quickly left behind.

"I knew flying a flying machine would make you happy, but I have waited so long." Xiaoshan looked at his smiling face.

Shen Yizhen closed the corner of her mouth: "Maglev is fast enough, this one is even faster."

"If you like it, I will teach you how to drive it. Can you fly an aircraft?"

"Lu Yong's driver's license hasn't been tested yet."

The air control is strict, and the aircraft cannot be privatized, so he doesn't think about it.

"Okay, I'll teach you on the weekend. Now that the automation is done, there is only one operation panel, and there are no special skills."

Shen Yizhen wanted to refuse, he couldn't afford to pay for this thing if it broke.

His eyes were attracted by a photo behind the operating panel, he stretched out his hand and pulled it out, and the slightly crumpled photo paper fell out.

It's a group photo of Zhang, one is Xiaoshan in military uniform, and next to him is the rescued famous musician Yang Shaoqing.

Shen Yizhen held up the photo: "Do you still keep it?"

At that time, Xiaoshan was only a colonel, but he had already become a recognized hero in the army. Even Shen Yizhen had to admit that even in front of the famous Yang Shaoqing, he did not lose his charisma at all.Occasionally, when he thinks of Xiaoshan, this photo will first appear in his mind. The saving Xiaoshan and the violent Xiaoshan seem to be two completely different people. He thinks, can one person save and harm others at the same time?What kind of person harms others with peace of mind after saving them?

Even this photo seems unreal: "Isn't this a composite? Is it really Yang Shaoqing?"

Xiaoshan smiled: "Isn't it better to take a photo with the president if I have the time?"

"You are really lucky, I like his music very much. How did you find him at that time?"

"Didn't I tell you. He took his whole family to escape and hid in a carport in the suburbs. Later, the consulting department knew that he was trapped and sent a message. I said, let's go rescue it. He took a dozen people and went. He was rescued with his wife and two children."

Shen Yizhen asked seriously: "Did he say he wanted to take a picture with you? Or did you say he wanted to take a picture with him?"

Xiaoshan looked at the road ahead: "A few soldiers made a fuss, I haven't seen any famous people, so I finally got a chance to make a memory."

"Why didn't I have such luck. Yang Shaoqing, was he okay later?"

"I didn't pay attention after handing over to the rear. There seems to be no news in the past few years."

"I've retired, I only play a song occasionally during holidays."

On the back of the photo are Mr. Yang's signature and a thank you note——

"Dear Colonel Shaw and Division 78,

First we were kind, then we were just, and then we never forgot each other. *

Yang Shaoqing, October 622, 10 Taiyin. "

"I bet he didn't write this sentence." Shen Yizhen smiled: "This is obviously a translated sentence, probably written by a foreigner, and he took it and used it. I just don't know which foreigner wrote it."

Xiao Shan shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, it's fine to say something nice."

Shen Yizhen returned the photo with envious and jealous expression.

Things on the moon are very delicate. Xiaoshan feels that the world is unfair. Shen Yizhen can go to college, work in the command post, and live his life in peace during the war. These frontline soldiers may not necessarily have a future if they work hard; Feeling that the world is unfair, a person like Xiaoshan who doesn't know anything about art can get a thank-you from a musician and become a hero in the hearts of the people all over the country.

So whether the world is fair or unfair is actually hard to say.

"If there is no war one day, what are you going to do?" Shen Yizhen asked.

Xiaoshan said: "I don't know. I originally wanted to die on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to survive. Maybe I will be transferred back to the front line next time. Who knows? People like me die as soon as they die, and there is no one at home. Come and get it."

He is an orphan, and he had a loving aunt when he was a child, but he also passed away because of the war soon.Even the name "Xiaoshan" was changed by himself when he became an adult.He only knows how to fight, as if he knows nothing else.Even though he had just retreated to the rear, he had already begun to miss the beacon fire on the front line.

The aircraft turned a corner and began to descend and dock.

Xiaoshan said, "Here we are."

They got off at the back door of the Egg Roll Tavern.Shen Yizhen didn't expect that Xiaoshan would take him out for dinner, and after thinking about it, it is always necessary to celebrate after winning a battle, and it makes sense to go to a restaurant next time.He was ashamed to say that he had never been to a tavern. This kind of place was very messy and filled with everyone. I heard that there were still taverns that ignored the curfew and opened until midnight. If you were caught, it was no joke.

Xiao Shan could tell what he was thinking at a glance: "Have you been here?"

Shen Yizhen shook her head guiltily, and wanted to explain, so she held him by the door and walked in.

The aroma of fried peppers hit his face, and Shen Yizhen was refreshed, and the hot and sticky water vapor all over his body was wiped out all at once.Xiaoshan pulled him to find a seat at the bar and sat down.They were late, and the tables were full, except for a few empty chairs at the bar.But there are also advantages here. Someone is playing piano music with a player, and the player is under the bar, so the atmosphere is better.

"The boss here is good at doing business, delivering alcohol to the front line, and earning a lot of money." Xiaoshan winked at him, "Smuggling alcohol in the black market is a huge profiteering industry, and the punishment for being caught is very heavy. But in recent years, I have rarely been arrested. Because those who dare to do business have some military resources, the front line needs alcohol to decompress, and the people above can only turn a blind eye."

Shen Yizhen looked around the inconspicuous tavern: "I can't tell, what's delicious?"

Xiaoshan spread out the menu: "I recommend pumpkin rice and spicy roasted pig's trotters. Do you eat pig's trotters?"

Shen Yizhen patted the table: "Eat!"
