Su Zhe sat alone on the roof of the dormitory building, wrapped in a heavy military coat, looking at the mountains in the distance in a daze.
"I'm telling you, I've been looking for you in the dormitory for a long time, but I still can't find you. It turns out you came here alone."
Ke Changlin's voice came from behind. He walked to Su Zhe's side, patted his shoulder, and sat down. "At this time, you should be lying on the bed and fast asleep, right? Today
Is this something you are worried about?"
Su Zhe smiled helplessly, "That's right... I just miss my mother a little bit."
Ke Changlin looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue speaking. At this time, it was more appropriate to be a listener than an enlightener.
"Back then, my mother was very powerful. She was the best police officer in our city. She was beautiful and a good fighter. Two or three male police officers couldn't beat her together. The most important thing is that she was also burned.
Good food.
Let me tell you, the pancakes made by my mother are no worse than those made by your Ana, really."
Su Zhe seemed to have remembered something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,
"Back then, there were rumors in our city and in the police stations of several neighboring cities that she was a cooking goddess and a policewoman. The happiest thing for me and my sister at that time was to hold parent-teacher conferences. Didn't you know that my mother was wearing a police uniform?
When Fu Yingzi walked into the class so handsomely, he felt so beautiful.
Even if my grades are at the bottom every time and I get beaten up when I get home, it’s still worth it. After all, parent-teacher conferences are just a way for me to show off my mother.”
The smile on Su Zhe's face became brighter and brighter. He sat there and giggled for a long time, falling into silence.
"What happened next?" Ke Changlin couldn't help but ask.
"Later, she died. She was shot in the heart by a drug dealer during a firefight. She didn't even have time to enter the emergency room."
Ke Changlin froze on the spot.
Su Zhe looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and said with a bitter look in his eyes, "After my mother's accident, my sister and I depended on each other, relying on state subsidies and a series of preferential treatment policies, and our life was pretty good.
During that time, I became increasingly depressed and stopped going to school. I just stayed at home every day, eating and drinking, like a useless person. But my sister seemed to have changed.
My sister's favorite things when she was a child were painting and Latin dancing. She was very well-behaved, obedient, and spoke softly and softly. But after that incident, she started to get involved in extreme sports. She climbed mountains and crossed deserts with bare hands.
Skydiving…
Because of this, I had a few big quarrels with her. Did you know that she would never quarrel with me before?
Now the stubbornness in her body and the look in her eyes are becoming more and more like my mother back then. This time she received the vigil... well, it was also the same when she received the military transfer order. She packed her bags without hesitation.
Prepare to be like my mother back then, to shoulder heavier responsibilities and protect more people."
Su Zhe paused and sighed, "But I don't want her to be like this."
"My mother has sacrificed her life for her duty as a guardian. I don't want my sister to make the same mistake as her. I know it's very weak and selfish to think so.
But now, my sister is my whole world. I am not as selfless as they are in wanting to protect others. I just want to protect my sister, and that is enough.
Uncle Chang Lin, a person like me, even if I become a defender, is just a selfish alien. I don’t have such a great and selfless belief in protecting my family and my country... Maybe I am not suitable here at all.
.”
Su Zhe said so many words in one breath, but Ke Changlin never interrupted. He just waited quietly for him to finish and gave Su Zhe a complicated look.
He stretched out his hand and knocked on Su Zhe's forehead.
"Silly boy, do you know that in the words "protect the family and the country", why does 'protect the family' come first?" Ke Changlin gave him a meaningful look, "You just make things too complicated.
Already...
To be honest, my education level is indeed not high, and my ideological consciousness is not as noble as you think. I only know that if this border line is broken, my Ana and two younger brothers will be in danger. The reason why I
I stand here just to protect their safety, but aren’t these thousands of small families together our country?
Without a home, where can a country come from? Without a country, where can a home come from?
If you want to protect your sister, then go ahead. No matter what happens in the future, you will be by her side. For you, she is the home you want to protect, isn't it?
Besides, who stipulates that those who come to guard the front line must have great and selfless intentions?
Old Li in the dormitory next door, when he joined the army, his original intention was to have a solid job so that he could find a wife when he returned to his hometown; Old Brother Yang in bed No. 2 opposite, he joined the army simply because he thought it would be cool to be a soldier. At that time,
, even a boy wants to be a soldier, tall and mighty, how great!
Are their intentions noble? No, right? But do you think if it was time to go to the battlefield and die, would they frown?"
Su Zhe was stunned.
Ke Changlin patted his back with his hand and pointed to the vast Daxia territory behind the border defense company.
"People will grow. Maybe everyone gathers here for different reasons, but when you look at the lights of thousands of families behind the border defense every day, you will understand that since we are standing here, we have some responsibilities and responsibilities. It is us
It must be carried up."
Su Zhe stood there for a long time like a sculpture, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded away, and the knot that had been bothering him was lifted, and he suddenly became enlightened.
He really thinks too much.
He wants to join the Night Watch just to protect his sister, so what? Who says you can't join the Night Watch for your sister?
As for those responsibilities and responsibilities after joining the Night Watch, he will just shoulder them. Since he has chosen this path, no matter what the final result is, he will never regret it.
There is no conflict between joining the night watchman for my sister and being a good night watchman.
He took a deep breath, stood up from the top of the building, and solemnly said to Ke Changlin: "Thank you, Uncle Changlin, I understand."
boom--!!
Before he finished speaking, a roar came from the distance, and the boundary of time silhouette instantly covered the border defense company and spread towards the foggy border to the west.
Covered by the silhouette of time, the fog once again returned to what it looked like a hundred years ago. It retreated dozens of miles from the Daxia border, and its concentration was dozens of times higher than before. The pitch-black mist moved towards the border like a beast.
Approaching, it exudes a suffocating aura of terror.
"The mist recedes?! What's going on?"
When Ke Changlin saw this scene, he stood up suddenly from the ground, his eyes full of shock.
Just as he was about to rush downstairs, a stream of light whizzed past along the border of the mist from the south. A fat-headed monk stepped on the auspicious clouds and stared solemnly at the approaching mist.
"The mist has a strong restraining effect on gods... Does that mean that if you deprive yourself of your divine power and fall back into a demon, you can avoid its strangulation?" The monk muttered to himself for a moment, then turned to look to the east.
