After staying in the barren mountains for a long time, it's like living in another world. I have a habitual wariness and rejection of any outsiders. I don't know what those two people do for the time being, but I always feel that at this time
The intentions of those who came to Barren Mountain may not be that simple. This is just my hunch. I cannot embarrass or question them because of my hunch.
The smoke from the kitchen has been floating by the river. This is a very strong signal in the deep mountains. It will let people who see the smoke know that there is someone here. It is too late to put out the smoke, and I have not done anything wrong, so I just leave it like this.
Continue to cook my porridge. The two people are getting closer and closer to us. Even if we rush back to the cave where we live with whispers, they will definitely attract each other's attention.
There is something wrong with Qingyu's thinking, but her senses are still there. She can see two people walking from a distance. At this distance, the naked eye can only see a rough outline, and cannot distinguish the specific appearance of each other.
That is to say, we can't see who those two people are. However, Qingyu has fear, and her rejection of outsiders is much stronger than mine. She left the fire and hid behind me, her hands tightening involuntarily.
took off my clothes.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, don't be afraid..." I turned around and said to her softly, stirred the porridge in the pot, and gave her a bowl. If in normal times, whispering would be enough.
She ate one bite after another while enjoying the heat of the porridge, but her nervousness could not be eliminated. Even if I comforted her, it was of no avail. She was holding the bowl and staring blankly ahead, her hands trembling.
After the two people found someone by the river, they immediately sped up and almost trotted over. As soon as they got closer, Qingyu completely hid behind me, not even daring to show his face. I puffed up my chest.
He faced the two unexpected outsiders without any expression.
As we got closer, I saw each other's appearance. Both of them were probably in their thirties. In that era, everyone was poor and not very particular about clothes. But judging from their clothes, they didn't look like ordinary people.
. One person is tall and thin, with a mole next to his eyebrow, and the other is relatively short and stocky. They are both wearing green military uniforms with their collars removed, and casual trousers on their lower bodies. This kind of clothing does not represent two people.
They are people from the army, because starting from the Cultural Revolution and continuing until the 1980s, the military uniforms that were retired from the army were very popular with the common people.
Another reason why I feel that they are not ordinary people is that after seeing me, the two people's eyes showed obvious suspicion. Just like some colleagues in our office, everyone usually feels that the other person has something to hide.
He has such shady secrets that everyone looks like a bad guy. Twenty-four hours a day, he will seize any opportunity to peep into your work and life, try to find some excuses, and then publicize them or report them to his superiors.
I am quite disgusted with this kind of people, and it makes me uncomfortable to look at them.
"Well, who are you and what are you doing here?" The tall and thin man looked me over and asked. His tone was not polite. It didn't sound like he was asking at all, but questioning. While he was asking me, he was trying to
Observing Qingyu who was hiding behind me, but Qingyu was completely hidden behind me. He couldn't see it for the time being. He could only tell that it was a woman.
"Cooking here." I pointed to the fire and pot beside me. I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Although I was dissatisfied with the tall and thin man's tone, I didn't get angry.
"I know you're cooking. What I'm asking is, what are you doing here? Don't tell me, your home is right here." The tall and thin man frowned, his triangular eyes and the black mole next to his eyebrows.
Makes me think that this is a mean person.
"Come here for a few days."
"Better be honest!" The tall and thin man suddenly raised his voice and his tone became stern.
"Who is that behind you?" The stocky short man was also observing the whispers behind me, and then interjected: "Is it your wife?"
"Who are you? Can you care about these things?" I was more dissatisfied. Not only were the two people's questions rude, but the short man's words undoubtedly hit the part of my heart that I least wanted others to touch.
Ever since I came to the barren mountains with Qingyu, I have always been a little depressed. No matter how affectionate or intimate she showed me, I knew very well that it was just that she regarded me as another person. So I have a sense of propriety, although
It is absolutely impossible to do anything excessive, but thinking about these things always makes my heart sour.
"Your attitude is very problematic." The tall and thin man had a bad temper. When he saw that I refused to cooperate, he shouted rudely: "We are performing a task! If you don't cooperate, I have the right to take some measures, you messed up people
I have seen a lot, including dragons coiled up for me and tigers lying down for me! Tell me! Who are you and what are you doing here!"
I didn’t want to be entangled with these two people any longer. I didn’t even want to put the pot on the fire. I turned around and left with Qingyu. As soon as I turned around, Qingyu behind me was immediately exposed to the two of them. The moment I saw her
, the eyes of the tall and thin man and the short man suddenly lit up, first surprised and then happy.
"Su Qingyu!" The tall and thin man cheered up: "You are really here!"
As the tall and thin man yelled, my heart immediately tightened. The fact that he could call out Qingyu's name meant that he must know her. Analyzing the tone and expressions of the two people at this moment, I felt that they ran away
It is very possible that he went to the mountains specifically to look for Qingyu.
How could things be like this? The Dayanpo Incident should have ended. At least the team at that time must have evacuated. With so many things happening to the team underground and so many people dying, why would anyone still be looking for Qingyu?
After thinking about it, I can only explain that Qingyu became particularly important after the incident. The important thing may not be her as a person, but the information she interpreted from the stone tripod. The reinforcement team in Dayanpo must have carried out very meticulous work
In the search, there were only so many members of the team, and they checked one by one, and the list of missing persons was clear at a glance. They searched, but could not find Qingyu's body.
Looking at this problem from the perspective of rescue, if the body of the missing person is never found, it can be concluded that she has a chance to be alive. Although the chance of being alive may be very slim, at least there is still a chance. Because of Qingyu
important, so the search for her may never stop.
According to what Mr. Chen told me at that time, he should have been isolated by others at this moment. He is Qingyu’s husband and knows more about Qingyu than anyone else. Someone may have all the details that can be thought of.
They all interrogated him.
I was a little sad. Qingyu had indeed been here a few years ago, and not alone. Perhaps, under high pressure, Mr. Chen had no choice but to confess everything he knew. In order not to miss any possibility,
Some people went all the way to the barren mountains to look for Qingyu.
After the tall and thin man yelled, Qingyu was immediately stunned. Her own name may not have been completely forgotten in her heart. When she heard the tall and thin man's voice, Qingyu trembled suddenly, and the panic and panic in her eyes immediately
The swell reached the extreme, and she grabbed my clothes, her whole body trembling.
"Good boy! I knew you were dishonest and fishy!" The short man was also refreshed. They were already very rude during the cross-examination. Now that they saw Qingyu, they all gathered around. In desperation, I could only
He stopped, still protecting Qingyu behind him, and confronted them.
"Su Qingyu, what you are doing now has betrayed the organization's training and trust in you for so many years. If you want to dig deeper, this problem is quite serious." The short man said to us: "You are the last one left.
If you have the opportunity, come back with us honestly and explain clearly what needs to be said. We are not colleagues, but we have always met and said hello in the past. Explain the problems clearly and other things can be discussed. Over there, what should we do?
We will say that by now, you should know better than anyone else that attitude is very important."
The short man kept chattering and said a lot of threats and inducements, but he certainly didn't expect that Qingyu couldn't understand his words at all, nor could he make any reply.
"Our principle is that we will not beat people to death with a stick. No matter how big a mistake someone makes, they will always be given a chance. This opportunity is hard to come by. You have to seize it." The tall and thin man also said.
No matter what they said, Qingyu was still trembling. After listening to it for a long time, I couldn’t bear it anymore. I looked back at Qingyu and said to the tall and thin man and the short man: "Her head was injured and she is no longer normal.
If she can’t understand what you are saying, you are endangering her.”
"Don't have normal thinking?" The other party was shocked and looked at each other, as if they didn't quite believe what I said. Because I was a strange person in their eyes, also suspicious and not worthy of trust.
"Do you want to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to get through?" The tall and thin man sneered and said: "It's useless, Su Qingyu, you don't understand. In some places, once someone enters, whether dead or alive, there are ways to make him
You are talking, stop pretending, our patience is limited, if you are stubbornly resisting now, then we need to take some measures."
When the lanky man was talking, the short man's eyes kept flickering, probably trying to distinguish Qing Yu's expression. He looked deeper and more scheming than the grumpy lanky man.
"Also, you should also come with us." The tall and thin man pointed at me and said, "Who are you and how did you get together with her? These things must be explained clearly."
I'm not a completely ungrateful person, but I was very annoyed when I heard the lanky guy's wording, especially that mixed word, which was like a needle pricking my heart. My face darkened and I stared at it intently.
