Chapter 268 You can think about it

Si Ningning couldn't accept it.

"Other people came forward to confirm your previous statement. The county made a decision overnight and sentenced Wu Yong to a suspended death sentence and was temporarily sent to Han City Prison for detention. He will be shot in March next year." Huo Lang lowered his tone and said, "The others will also be punished and sentenced to death.

A prison sentence of seven to fourteen years."

Because other witnesses appeared, this matter no longer had anything to do with Si Ningning.

Or in other words, this is the final ending of this matter.

How sloppy.

Si Ningning suddenly felt heavy.

"Don't be sad, at least because of your bravery, you have promoted many things." Huo Lang comforted him with a low and gentle voice, "You know? The county has introduced a new ordinance, and each brigade must form a security team. What will happen in the future?

It will be largely avoided.”

What kind of bravery is this?

"The implementation of the new policy should not be at the cost of sacrificing lives." Si Ningning shook his head, "If we had paid attention to this issue from the beginning, or if the captain of Zhougang Brigade was a diligent and responsible officer like our captain,

Maybe such a tragedy wouldn’t happen.”

In other words, if Wu Yong had not been transferred from the third team of Jiling to Zhougang, wouldn't this happen?

Si Ningning was in a depressed mood, and Huo Lang soon realized that she was trying to get into trouble.

Not wanting to see Si Ningning continue to be depressed, Huo Lang was silent and wanted to speak, but he heard vague voices coming from the direction of the main room.

Others from the educated youth point got up...

After swallowing the words on his lips, Huo Lang fumbled in his coat pocket, and finally took out something and fastened it accurately on the round collar of Si Ningning's half-sleeved shirt, "I had something very important to say to you last night.

I said it, but I didn’t have time, and it’s a bit inappropriate now that it’s better.”

"I will come back to you at noon." Huo Lang sighed helplessly. When he retracted his hand, Si Ningning felt that his collar sank slightly.

The emotions of sorrow for spring and autumn were temporarily transferred. Si Ningning raised her hand to touch her collar and touched a small, hard metal lump, which should be something like a pin or brooch.

Seeing Huo Lang retreating to leave again, Si Ningning stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "Well, Huo Lang, there is something else!"

"Um?"

Si Ningning's red lips pursed slightly, "If Comrade Yan hasn't left yet, can you introduce him to me again?"

Huo Lang's deep brows were furrowed, with some doubts flashing in his eyes.

Si Ningning explained: "I was a little anxious that day, and some of the things I said were not very good. I would like to see Comrade Yan again to explain the situation at that time, is that okay?"

Holang probably recalled what happened before and after, and felt that there might indeed be a misunderstanding.

He didn't understand what happened between girls, and it was hard for him to get involved. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded sharply, "Okay, when will you have time? I'll ask her to wait for you."

"You can do it in the morning... And please be careful with your words! We are communicating in a friendly manner, why should she wait for me or something like that?! What is that like? It's not a date..." Si Ningning stamped her feet and said anxiously.

"...Okay, I understand."

The voice of the educated youth from the direction of the gate became clearer and clearer. Huo Lang responded and took a few steps back.

The man retreated into the shadow of the trees, not forgetting to tell Si Ningning: "I still have something very important to say to you, today, it must be today."

"knew!"

"...must come."

"Come, I must come." Si Ningning waved the back of her hand outward, "Go back quickly!"

"Um."

Standing on her feet and watching Huo Lang disappear among the trees, Si Ningning took off the thing on her collar with slightly twisted hands, then lowered her head to look at her palm, and was slightly startled when she saw the thing clearly.

I thought it was a pin, brooch or something like that, but it was not.

Golden wheat ears surround a half circle, and in the center of the wheat ears is a five-pointed star that also shines brightly.

It's...the flower bouquet.

Horan's military collar.

Si Ningning had seen it before when he came back from the county.

In the 1970s, it was not fashionable for soldiers to wear lapels, and most of them wore collar badges. However, collar badges are not without such iconic badges. They meet certain requirements. For example, they will be issued to soldiers with special military ranks.

The collar flower is of great significance. It may represent recognition of military life, or it may be obtained in exchange for half a life...

This is both precious and an honor.

And now, Huo Lang handed one of the pair of collar flowers to Si Ningning.

Si Ningning felt as if the thing in her hand was hot to the touch and weighed as much as a thousand catties.

She clutched it tightly for fear of losing it, and at the same time she raised her head and took two steps towards the tree-lined path. She stopped after a few breaths.

Huo Lang has long legs and fast feet. Where did she say she could catch up if she wanted to?

and……

Si Ningning lowered her head and slowly opened her palms, looking at the collared flower lying quietly in her palms, she already understood what Huo Lang meant.

There is no false sincere feeling...

That person valued her far more than she imagined.

"..."

Si Ningning's red lips pursed complexly, she put her tie flower into the space, and walked back with heavy steps.

After taking only two steps, he bumped into Mo Bei and Song Shuhan, who had just walked out of the house with bags on their backs.

Song Shuhan greeted: "Si Zhiqing, why did you get up so early today? It's rare!"

In the past, Si Ningning was responsible for the pig pen work and did not have to go to the fields. Xu Shuhua and the others usually got up sleepily after they had gone out.

Song Shuhan didn't mean anything when he said this, it was just a joke as they got acquainted with each other.

Unfortunately, Si Ningning was in a bad mood, so this time she just nodded lightly and didn't tease him like usual.

Song Shuhan just thought it was too early and Si Ningning was still confused, so he didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, Mo Bei could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Si Ningning.

"Si Ningning..." Mo Bei called to Si Ningning.

"Huh?" Si Ningning raised her eyelashes listlessly, "What's the matter?"

"..." Mo Bei frowned slightly, then let go.

His throat rolled, and the last thing he blurted out was not concern, but another sentence, "We are going to town, is there anything you need to bring?"

"No." Si Ningning shook his head.

Speaking of going to the town, Si Ningning belatedly remembered that Mo Bei's wound had the stitches removed today, "Oh, look at me... there are so many miscellaneous things, I forgot about this."

Si Ningning slapped her forehead conflictingly, her porcelain-white face a little embarrassed, "Are you in a hurry to leave? If not, why don't you wait for me to cook?"

I originally planned to go with Mo Bei, but my visit to Zhao Hongbing's house yesterday was interrupted by Yan Wenshu's incident, and I forgot about it after that...

After all, Mo Bei's injury was sustained for her. He had to do his best no matter what, and take more care of him during his recovery. Even if he couldn't accompany him to the town, breakfast shouldn't be missed. Now this matter has happened...

Si Ningning was annoyed and a little bit regretful. In addition, after receiving the flower bouquet just now, all kinds of emotions surged up in confusion. For a moment, she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"It's all trivial." Mo Bei shook his head and took the initiative to resolve Si Ningning's embarrassment, "We can just eat in the town."

"We'll talk about it when we get back," Mo Beichong said to Si Ningning. Then he turned his head and looked at Song Shuhan to one side, "Let's go."

"Si educated youth, see you later!" Song Shuhan waved to Si Ningning.

Si Ningning nodded and followed them with his eyes, "Slow down on the road."

"knew."

After watching Mo Bei and Song Shuhan walk away, Si Ningning turned around and returned to the house.

Usually, Xu Shuhua and the others would have gotten up early at this time and would have eaten half of their breakfast. Today, because breakfast was canceled, they started to get up.

Si Ningning didn't do anything special. Everyone didn't eat breakfast. She was the only one who went to cook to attract everyone's attention. She wasn't that stupid yet.

She did whatever she had to do. Si Ningning followed the others to fetch water and wash themselves. After everyone went out to work, she cleaned up everything that needed to be washed and wiped.

After everything was taken care of, I took out some ready-made things from the space to fill my stomach. Finally, I took my water bottle and the red-headed rope that I had knitted last night and went to the team.

While walking on the road, Si Ningning was still thinking about what to say.

For a while, Si Ningning was facing Yan Wenshu and Huo Lang. Si Ningning buried his head in chatter. Unexpectedly, Huo Lang was thinking about this all the time. After the patrol, he didn't go home at all. He was reading illiteracy.

Ben was squatting there.

Watching Si Ningning walking forward with her head buried in thought, Huo Lang squatted on one side and threw a small clod of soil forward. Si Ningning kicked the small clod of soil away and continued to move forward while mumbling something.

Walk.

"..."

Huo Lang was speechless for a while, and this time he threw a bigger piece of broken tiles.

Just like before, Si Ningning kicked the tiles several meters away. She lowered her head and walked forward without realizing that Huo Lang was not far from her.

Huo Lang couldn't squat any longer. If he squatted any longer, Si Ningning would disappear without a trace.

Huo Lang followed him in two steps, but Si Ningning didn't let him go. So he pulled Si Ningning's braid to one side, "What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed in it?"

His sudden appearance frightened Si Ningning. Si Ningning stopped suddenly, and before he could say anything, he glared at him.

Huo Lang's peach blossom eyes curled up. Not only was he not frightened by Si Ningning, but he felt a sense of ease when he touched his nose. He teased to himself: "I didn't scare you. I just threw two stones to remind you.

, you didn’t even notice.”

"Humph." Si Ningning snorted and turned sideways unhappily.

Huo Lang teased the end of her hair and continued to ask, "I haven't said anything yet. What were you thinking about just now? Are you so absorbed in it?"

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, ignoring what was going on in her mind when Huo Lang mentioned it again. She hesitated for a moment and couldn't answer, then opened the topic and said, "Don't worry about what I think, don't you want to tell me again?"

This is what I want to say, right?"

Si Ningning pursed her delicate lips, her heart skipped a beat, and she mustered up the courage to look at Huo Lang openly, "Say it now!"

"..."

Huo Lang was not frightened by Si Ningning's glare just now, but now he was thrown into disarray by these words.

Rubbing the hair on his forehead back, Huo Lang was a little confused. How could a girl who was usually very well-behaved and shy become so powerful all of a sudden?

When Si Ningning saw that Huo Lang was at a loss for words, her embarrassment suddenly faded away, and she was still vaguely proud, "If you have nothing to say, take me to Comrade Yan quickly!"

Why don't you have anything to say?

Of course Holang had something to say.

Holding Si Ningning's slender wrist, Huo Lang took Si Ningning to one side.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

"Speak somewhere else."

The literacy class had doors and windows installed, but they were not locked yet. Huo Lang pushed open the wooden door and sat Si Ningning down on the first small desk near the door.

He looked at her and said, "Did you see what I gave you this morning?"

Si Ningning raised her lips, her pupils twinkling and nodded honestly, "I saw it."

"Do you know what that is?"

Si Ningning nodded again, and then slowly lowered his head.

Huo Lang's eyebrows furrowed briefly, and he looked down at the top of Si Ningning's hair. He was silent for a while, then rolled his throat and said in a low and deep voice: "Would you like to hear me continue?"

Si Ningning raised his head hesitantly and looked at Huo Lang with wide eyes.

Her dark eyes reflected Huo Lang's serious and serious face, and she stared blankly for a long time without expressing her willingness or unwillingness.

Si Ningning was looking forward to it, but she was also afraid.

It can even be said that the fear in my heart is far greater than the expectation.

Because she realized how good Huo Lang was in front of her, and had a premonition that she would never meet a better person in the future, Si Ningning felt that she was very lucky, but at the same time she felt sad.

The memory fragments flashing through his mind touched the sadness deep in his heart. Si Ningning's eyes flashed with water, and the ends of his eyes turned red inexplicably.

There are some things that Si Ningning has always longed for, but when he really wants to touch them, he is afraid...

Because she was afraid that she would lose this kindness and lose the person in front of her who was kind to her.

She hates worrying about gains and losses, and is even more afraid of being abandoned again.

"Would you like or not" were just a few words, but Si Ningning was hesitant to say it.

"Don't cry." Huo Lang bowed slightly and rubbed away the tears at the end of Si Ningning's eyes with his rough thumbs. Si Ningning didn't need to say anything, he just explained by himself: "There are only one pair of collar flowers for soldiers. Those are the mission and the

A symbol of glory.”

"If you can, I hope you can consider giving me a chance. From now on, it will be my honor and my responsibility to go forward and retreat with me for the rest of my life."

Her words of earnestness and sincerity, like an oath, made Si Ningning tighten her palms, and the oppressive tension came over her again.

Si Ningning's lips trembled and she did not answer Huo Lang. Instead, she lowered her head in humiliation as crystal tears rolled uncontrollably from the end of her eyes. At the same time, she recounted a past that she had been reluctant to mention:

"When I was a child, I lived in a single-parent family. My father was always busy, and I was surrounded by all kinds of unrelated people."

"At that time, I always wanted to get my father's attention and love. I wanted to be hugged by my father like other children, and then sit down and have a comfortable meal together."

"But I never got it."

"It seems that no matter what you do or how you do it, you will always be disliked and disliked."

Si Ningning curled up her index finger to wipe away the tears at the end of her eyes, and in a relaxed tone simply explained the pain that she had never wanted to mention, "Later, I gradually grew up, and I cast my gaze and vision to a farther and broader place.

Heaven and earth, not just confined to a small home."

"At that time, I thought, no one loves me, I can love myself. Maybe it has something to do with the living environment I grew up in. I told myself that my partner must be absolutely loyal to me and must be loyal to me for a long time.

Companionship should not be mixed with any false love."
