Lin Qiye frowned, \"What do you mean?\"

Zhao Kongcheng smiled slightly, took out a cigarette from his pocket unhurriedly, \"Do you mind?\"

\"mind.\"

Zhao Kongcheng: ...

Zhao Kongcheng put away the cigarette helplessly, and leaned back on the chair, with memories flashing in his eyes.

\"When I was young, I was just like you.\"

\"Seriously, this opening is a bit corny.\"

\"...\"

\"It's okay, you continue.\"

\"When I was six years old, my father passed away due to illness, and my mother worked two jobs by herself to barely bring me up. \" Zhao Kongcheng rubbed the cigarette case with his hands, and his voice was very calm.

\"The rhythm of that era was very slow. At that time, my mother's expectation for me was to finish junior high school well, and then come back to be a village cadre, marry a young daughter-in-law, have a few children, and live happily as a family.

You know, young people, there is always a rebellious period.

When I graduated from junior high school, my grades were not bad. If I went back to be a village cadre, it would not be difficult, but I ignored her objection and decided to join the army.

In fact, she didn't object, but she seemed a little unhappy. On the day I left home, she stood at the door and just looked at me silently. When I walked to the back of the house, she was looking at me. When I walked to the gate of the village, she was still looking at me...

Later, when I walked to the station in the city, I couldn't let go, so I sneaked back to take a look... I found that she was still standing there, looking at the direction I was walking, in a daze.

To be honest, at that time I really thought about staying like this and not leaving, but in the end I became cruel and became a soldier. \”

Zhao Kongcheng sighed, and continued: \"Later, my rank rose higher and higher, and I entered the special forces, and because I was good at close combat, I was transferred and assigned to the night watchman.

Afterwards, I also took advantage of the holiday to go home and visit my mother, only to find out...\”

When Zhao Kongcheng said this, he suddenly stopped.

Lin Qiye said cautiously: \"Your mother... passed away?\"

\"No, she remarried.\"

Lin Qiye: ...

\"My mother was too tired to work when she was young, and her health was broken. Originally, she wanted me to return to the village as a cadre so that she could take care of her.

Later, she couldn't bear it alone, so she got married, at least she would have someone to take care of her when she was old.

It's a pity that I had already joined the night watchman at that time, and I couldn't stay by her side for a long time to provide for her. To be honest, I was really relieved when I heard the news of her marriage. \”

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, \"So, what is the purpose of you telling me this?\"

Zhao Kongcheng stood up slowly, staring into Lin Qiye's eyes, \"We all had things we valued, but as we grow up, we subconsciously ignore their existence because of habit, and are attracted by other things instead. All attention...

I was like this back then, but you are different, Lin Qiye.

You are smarter and more sensible than me back then, you have your own ideas, and you want to stay with your family and accompany them.

It's really good.

Now that you have chosen this path, go ahead.

Protecting the world or something, just leave it to us people. \”

He turned around and picked up the kraft paper on the table, and handed it to Lin Qiye.

\"I just met your aunt. In this era, there are really not many people like this. I know the current situation of your family. You can take the money.\"

Lin Qiye didn't hesitate at all, \"I don't want it.\"

\"I am the night watchman, I am not short of money.\"

\"Then I don't want it either.\"

\"I gave it to your aunt, you have to ask for it!\"

\"My aunt won't either.\"

The corner of Zhao Kongcheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he and Lin Qiye looked at each other for a long time, neither of them gave in.

After a long while, Zhao Kongcheng spoke again, \"Lin Qiye... I am old, and I can't see the regrets that happened to me, and it happened again before my eyes, even if it happened to someone else.\"

\"Then you can close your eyes and don't look at it.\"Lin Qiye's attitude is very firm,\"Although our family is poor, we also have our own bottom line. I won't take money from soldiers.

What's more, my eyes are healed, I have the ability, I will not let regret happen. \”

Zhao Kongcheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just smiled wryly.

\"You take the money back and give it to your wife and children, isn't it good?\" Lin Qiye spoke again.

\"As I said, the welfare system of the night watchman is very good. Even if I die on the battlefield, my wife and children will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and they will also be able to go to a good university in the future and have a bright future.\" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Qiye, Zhao Kongcheng had no choice but to put the cowhide bag back.

\"Then you don't have any dreams?\"

\"My dream? \"Zhao Kongcheng sat back on the chair again, his eyebrows raised, \"I do have a dream, and I have it since I was a child.\"

\"What is it?\"

\"Became a general in the army! Then, wearing a military uniform with a dazzling array of merit medals on his chest, he went back to the village in style, letting those who look down on my mother know that my mother's son... is a general!\ A dazzling brilliance appeared in Zhao Kongcheng's eyes.

Lin Qiye was stunned, for some reason, looking at Zhao Kongcheng in front of him, he seemed to think of Li Yifei again...

They seem to be the same kind of people.

\"So are you in it now?\"

\"No, it's still far away.\"Zhao Kongcheng smiled wryly, \"And as a night watchman, he can't go out with a medal of merit. This dream... can only be a dream after all.\"

Lin Qiye was silent.

\"Well, since this is the case, then I should go too.\"Zhao Kongcheng stood up, walked to Lin Qiye, and stretched out his right hand.

\"I wish you a bright future, Lin Qiye.\"

Lin Qiye stared blankly at Zhao Kongcheng's face, it seemed that it was not so greasy anymore...

He stretched out his hands and held them tightly, \"I wish you a day of meritorious service, General Zhao.\"

Zhao Kongcheng smiled, turned around and walked outside the house.

\"Wait, your coat of arms.\" Lin Qiye stopped him, picked up the coat of arms on the table, and waved it.

Zhao Kongcheng slapped his head, \"Look at my memory, I almost forgot! This is my life!\"

Zhao Kongcheng took the coat of arms, glanced at it, and seemed to think of something, \"By the way, did you see the following words?\"

\"See it.\"

\"How is it? Isn't it handsome?\"

\"It's handsome, you wrote it?\"

\"No, this is the oath we made when we entered the night watchman.\"Zhao Kongcheng threw away the coat of arms like a coin toss, then caught it firmly and put it in his pocket,\"But... I am very like.\"

\"and many more.\"

\"what happened again?\"

\"It's raining heavily outside, you take an umbrella.\"

\"Thank you, I will not return this umbrella.\"

\"Go ahead and take it, just treat it as... the reward for protecting the earth.\"

\"Interesting, ok, I'm really leaving.\"

\"goodbye.\"

Zhao Kongcheng took the black umbrella, opened the door and walked out, while Lin Qiye stood by the window, silently watching him leave.

In the rain, he rubbed his fingers against the coat of arms in his pocket, and read softly:

\"If the dark night comes to an end,

I will stand before thousands of people,

cross the knife to the abyss,

The sky is stained with blood...\"

...

The rain is getting heavier.

Holding an umbrella, Zhao Kongcheng calmly got into the black van, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and prepared to enjoy a brief moment of silence.

At this moment, his headset suddenly rang!

A man's voice came from it.

His hand holding the cigarette trembled suddenly, and his pupils shrank suddenly!
