I admit that sometimes I am quite stubborn, and Chen Yu is not much better than me. They both have a soft-spoken personality and don’t take hard advice. She might also be upset if I said something cool, but she still told me that Brother Wen has something going on.
, not with her now.
"Then please notify him and call me when he comes back. I'll wait. The matter is urgent, so let him speed up." Before I hung up the phone, I said to her deliberately: "Thank you."
Less than a minute after I hung up the phone, I received a text message from her, which contained just a few words: You are an asshole.
Looking at this text message, I immediately wanted to retaliate to her, but my mind flashed and I immediately thought of what Huang Po said. Huang Po didn't say who the woman was, but no matter how I thought about it, I felt that it would be Chen Yu. When I thought of it,
All of this made my heart feel as soft as mud, and the stubbornness in my bones suddenly disappeared.
A woman can act arrogant, but it would be inappropriate for a man like me to act arrogant. Although what Huang Po predicted has not happened yet, I always feel sorry for Chen Yu. I picked up the phone.
, he texted her back with almost no hesitation: I miss you.
In my opinion, although Chen Yu has a stubborn temper, she should be the kind of girl who is easier to coax. She can say a few nice words and everything will be fine. But this time she did not give in and only replied, "After Brother Wen comes back,
He will be notified to contact you.
However, Chen Yu was angry and she didn't delay what she had to do. The next day I received a call from Brother Wen. Regarding my forced escape from Chen Yu, Brother Wen didn't even mention a word about it.
He didn't ask where I was, he just kept repeating his position.
"We'll talk about these things later." I interrupted him and said directly: "I want to ask you about someone, please feel free to tell me if you can. If you can't, don't lie to me." [
"Who are you asking about?"
I sent the picture of the cold-faced man to Brother Wen. He might have looked at it more seriously and waited a few minutes before calling back. But this time when he spoke, his tone was a little surprised.
"Where did you see him? Is he still alive?"
As soon as I heard that there was a way, Brother Wen didn't deny that he knew the cold-faced man, which was a good start. I didn't answer his question and said, "That's this guy. He's still alive. I want to know about him."
Brother Wen was silent for a moment, and then said to me: "Can you let me see him?"
I frowned, thinking that Brother Wen was too troublesome and had so many nonsense, but then I thought about it, after all, it was me who was begging him now. So I hung up the phone and discussed with Jin Pingmei, and we moved the cold-faced man to the backyard of Pankou
In a small unused house, the guys temporarily covered the walls with newspapers. For a meticulous person like Brother Wen, we have to be careful. Maybe some details in the background will give away our location.
After doing this, the others left. I connected with Brother Wen via mobile phone video, and then pointed the camera at the cold-faced man. The cold-faced man still looked like he didn’t bother to talk to anyone. I guess he
Maybe he didn’t even know what a mobile phone was, but he just looked sideways at the mobile phone in my hand, and then turned his head.
I held up the phone and let Brother Wen look at it for two minutes, and then called again.
"You know this person, right?" I said to Brother Wen, "Tell me about him."
My tone was very rude, but in fact I felt quite uneasy. I was afraid that Brother Wen would reject my request outright. After all, we were on opposite sides now. He had no obligation to tell me anything, and I really couldn't hold him back.
Ask him for something face to face.
"I don't know how you caught him, but you have to be careful, this man is a bit weird. If you want to know something about him, I can tell you, but what I know is only superficial. No one knows his details.
of."
I really didn't expect Brother Wen to be so cheerful and straightforward, and I immediately became excited. However, I still didn't forget to warn him that he'd better stop telling lies.
"This man's name is Li Fusheng, and he lived in Xihaihe."
The scale of the Xihai River Project is very large, and even people inside the project may not know each other after meeting. At the beginning, Brother Wen didn’t even know that Li Fusheng existed in the world. Li Fusheng was from Santaihezi.
A correspondent at the logistics base often came to the construction site for official duties. He knew my dad. Every time after doing business, Li Fusheng would find a way to chat with my dad for a while. At that time, Brother Wen was one of my dad's friends.
Followers, so these things gradually stopped being hidden from him. As they came more often, Brother Wen and Li Fusheng were considered acquaintances. However, their acquaintance was only a friendship of meeting and saying hello, and there was no deep friendship.
Moreover, Brother Wen didn't pay special attention to Li Fusheng. It was only because of some things that happened in the future that he started to pay attention to this rather strange person.
Li Fusheng is indeed a strange person, as you can tell from his name. People of the same age as Brother Wen and my father were born just as the Cultural Revolution was about to begin. In the general environment of that era, whose family
It was very taboo to have a family background with the word "rich" in it, so when the children were born at that time, most of them were given names such as Wei Dong and Wei Hong. Names like Li Fusheng were
Obviously looking for trouble.[
At that time, Li Fusheng rarely spoke to anyone else except my father. He was very rigid. No one in the power unit maintenance team liked him at that time. In Brother Wen's words, it was as if everyone owed him something.
What really made Brother Wen start paying attention to Li Fusheng was an accident that happened at that time.
People inside the Xihai River main project, especially ordinary soldiers, have almost no chance to go out. However, people from the Santaihezi Logistics Base can go out with the cars sent back and forth. Once, Li Fusheng followed the convoy returning empty cars.
He went out to do some errands. After finishing his errands, he happened to catch up with another convoy delivering supplies, and he got a ride.
This convoy was very unlucky. It encountered a rare strong sandstorm while transporting supplies, but the convoy was located right in the center of the sandstorm. People who have never seen a sandstorm may not be able to imagine how terrifying that kind of strong sandstorm is, filling the sky.
The sand is rolled with all kinds of debris and even stones. It is flying rapidly, and the sky and the earth are mixed together. If a person falls into it, there is no concept at all, and he will be directly submerged by the sand in an instant.
When people from the engineering base and Santaihezi learned that the sandstorm had occurred, they felt that they were in trouble. The convoy probably happened to encounter it. But at that time, they had no way to rush over for rescue immediately. They waited until the sandstorm abated before sending out the rescue team.
The brigade passed. Some sandstorms can last for several days or even longer. When the rescue team was able to barely enter the area around the incident site, it was already several days later.
There was no suspense. There was nothing on the land that had been ravaged by sandstorms, only an endless layer of sand. They spent several days searching around, and the entire convoy of more than ten trucks filled with supplies was directly buried.
Only the roof and the camouflage cloth covering the compartment were exposed. When the whole car was dug out, the people inside were already dead. In the convoy at that time, there were two people in one car, one driver and one driver.
They took turns driving and after all the trucks were dug out, they counted the bodies of the martyrs and found that every one was missing.
"There were not a single corpse missing, but the people who did the final counting were people from the engineering headquarters. They didn't know at all that a correspondent from the Santaihezi Logistics Base had hitchhiked, so they determined that the number of martyrs was not
question."
What Brother Wen means is that when the convoy was exhumed, there was actually no body of Li Fusheng.
This matter has been circulated in the engineering base for a while, and a safety notice was issued to rectify the operating rules and regulations. Most people did not know that Li Fusheng was in the convoy that was killed, but my dad should be very aware of it.
. However, my father and others did not participate in the rescue, so they did not know whether Li Fusheng's body had been found. At that time, Brother Wen thought that Li Fusheng must have died in the accident.
Next, something happened that Brother Wen could not have imagined.
It was about a month after the accident. One day after performing maintenance tasks, before going to bed at night, the captain of the maintenance team brought over a person who said he was transferred to the maintenance team and asked everyone to welcome the new comrade. Brother Wen
He was dumbfounded at first glance. He saw that the new comrade carrying a backpack behind the captain turned out to be Li Fusheng.
This incident messed up Brother Wen's mind. Someone in the maintenance team knew Li Fusheng, but they didn't know that he was on the convoy that was killed some time ago. Everyone had a bad impression of him. When the captain introduced him, the people below didn't react at all. At that time
They were also criticized by the captain.
But no matter how Brother Wen thinks about this matter, Li Fusheng was transferred to the maintenance team. He was still the same. Even after he was transferred this time, he didn't talk to my dad very much and was very cold to everyone. Brother Wen privately said at that time
I asked my dad what was going on, but my dad shook his head and said nothing.
However, Li Fusheng didn't talk to anyone and rarely looked for trouble. He was more active and conscientious in his work and worked hard without complaining. The comrades around him had less opinions on him. Anyway, they were all serving in this kind of place, so he had no hatred against anyone.
So the days passed like this. For a long time after Li Fusheng joined the maintenance team, Brother Wen didn't find anything unusual about him. At that time, Brother Wen wondered whether the previous news about the accident was wrong.
Li Fusheng didn't take a ride?
"We have been staying in Xihaihe for several years. Before the project was about to be interrupted, there were actually rumors circulating down below that the troops were about to withdraw. It might be due to a change of defense or other reasons. In short, they were about to withdraw."
Brother Wen and the others had suffered enough after staying in a place like Xihaihe for several years. After hearing these gossips, everyone was really excited for a while.
Just before they were about to evacuate, Li Fusheng, who had been honest for a long time, finally seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. He would not move, but would make big moves whenever he moved, and did something that was shocking at the time.
