you said you would come to see me

Say goodbye to silence.

The edict sent Ah Fu from one edge to the other, driving from dawn to dark, but Ah Fu felt that it was an instant.In an instant, the sun turned into the moon, and everything reflected by the sun turned into lights.

On a section of uninhabited road near Siman, Chigun stretched out a hand towards Ah Fu.

Ah Fu held it until they drove out of this small forest.

Ah Fu's chest felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't say a word.He wanted to turn his head to look at the stick, but he was afraid that the expression of the stick would make Ah Fu's emotions nowhere to hide.

When they reached the last level, the imperial stick let go.They stopped outside the cordon, and after another round of negotiation with the imperial stick, they took Ah Fu past the cordon.

The imperial stick finally said to him - "I will send you here."

Ah Fu took two steps forward, and looked back at the black crows behind the imperial stick.The yellow warning strips and fences are in the middle of the path, but they seem to be between the two.

Ah Fu gritted his teeth, and gave the imperial stick a hug.He really wanted to say thank you, thank you for taking me to Siman, thank you for saving my life, thank you for telling me that you like me.

But he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that if he spoke, tears would come out.

The imperial stick also raised his hand and stroked his back, then smiled again.

Ah Fu remembered that he also saw the expression of the stick a long time ago, that was the first time he came to the apartment of the stick, and there were still chicken legs and pancakes from the Red Eagle Canteen in front of him, and the stick was asking him Do you want marijuana?

The lights are lined up in two lines, leading to the depths of the four places.Ah Fu then changed to another military pickup truck that was going to the city. When the car started, it shook violently, and the imperial stick turned his head away amidst the shaking.

He stepped over the tape and got into the car.

Ah Fu watched his car reverse and turn around, and then tried to get rid of each other before the other party like a pickup truck race.

Ah Fu huddled together with a group of black crows. It seemed that someone asked him something, and he answered a few words, but he didn't remember what he said at all.He buried his face in his hands and rubbed them vigorously.It wasn't until someone handed him a cigarette that he squeezed the smell of the woods out of his lungs.

Some people say that the Crow Country is a magical land, because this land can eat people and grow gold coins.Those who come to the Crow Country to look for gold can't go back, because it will either drain your blood, or you will be swallowed up by inflated desire and greed.

Some people also say that the Crow Country is a barren land, because there are no other crops grown here except poppies. It is separated from the rich ancient fields by a wasteland, with colorful and prosperous lights on one side, but silence on the other.

It was as if even the sound had been eaten by the earth, and everything was eaten by this horrible place.

But why can Ah Fu still hear other sounds, the sound is the golden jackal howling, the red vulture flapping its wings and screeching, and the crows flocking, making a clamoring sound—this is life, the land Why didn't I eat them all.

The pickup drove for two hours, and Ah Fu walked for half an hour.When he actually stood in front of that shop, he still felt that everything was unreal.

Ah Fu thought about countless scenes of seeing his family again, and also thought about countless versions of the acquaintance and encounter between him and the imperial stick, but for some reason, when he really jumped off the pickup truck and stood in this place, he lingered countless times in his heart. , When outside the small shop where he had called countless times, he couldn't think of anything in his mind.

He looked at the locked glass door and saw his younger brother and parents sitting at the dinner table inside.They ate nervously, with the same sadness and melancholy on their faces as when Ah Fu was in Baihui.

Ah Fu thinks this is a dream.

And he was worried that if he took a step closer, he would wake up from it.

Ah Fu likes the feeling of being reunited, it will make him feel that it doesn't matter what he suffered before.As long as this result can be exchanged, it doesn't matter if you let him walk again.

The mother cried while holding him, the father kept wiping the corners of his eyes, and the younger brother ran into his arms, almost knocking him to the ground.While he was worried that his family would not be safe, the family also thought they had lost him.

This kind of news isolation is the most frightening thing. If you can't get up and down, even if you know that the result may not be satisfactory, you still deceive yourself and others to hold a glimmer of hope.

Well now, now all prayers have come true.Mother wiped her tears and knelt down by the window, thanking the gods for their blessings to their family.Father hurriedly rolled two more pancakes from the inside, walked a few steps and then turned back to get a few buns.

The younger brother was unwilling to let go. He and Ah Fu had lived in Taodao for so long. Losing his elder brother was something he couldn't imagine.

He wiped his tears and snot on Ah Fu's collar, on his chest, and on his sleeves, which made Ah Fu's already dirty clothes smell even worse, and made Ah Fu burst into tears.

They said that Baihui is very dangerous, what happened to Baihui, Baihui is fighting, did they send a lot of red vultures to fight to the death.

Ah Fu said yes, the Baihui slum is different from the one we live in. It is a disaster area that the government needs to focus on cleaning up, so there will be cleaning, and naturally there will be bloodshed.

They also said where did you live, how did you survive, how did you get hurt, and where else did you get hurt.

Ah Fu said it was okay, all the people I met were good people, and they stayed after they were dismissed.Even if they had a war, I could always get away with it.I was lucky, since I was a child.

They ask about good people again, I want to thank these good people, thank the gods, my God, how much you have suffered, you see your face is blue, you were beaten, you were beaten by black crows or not Red vulture hit?Tell me quickly, don't scare me.

Ah Fu said no, the journey is far away and the environment is not good.Traveling from thousands of miles, there will always be some injuries, but nothing serious.You see I'm fine, I stand up and jump and you'll know I'm fine.

His mother quickly held him down and said, "Don't jump, you should eat quickly. You have lost a lot of weight, and there is still in the pot after eating."

Ah Fu was indeed hungry, so he took a bite of the cake and drank the porridge.

The parents and younger brother were asking and talking in a rambling manner.They say the red vultures are terrible, alas, they are terrible.I heard that they rushed into the slums and killed innocent people indiscriminately, not counting killing drug dealers, but also killing poor people.

The black crow is also terrible, alas, the black crow is terrible.You don't know there's a lot of shooting these days, and we don't know what it is.A week ago, the bullets hit the shop next door, shattering the glass all at once.I really don't know when they will hit our house, and I really don't know when the martial law will end.

Hurry up, Ah Fu, I heard about it on the way here, it’s been a few months, don’t be afraid of black crows and red vultures, they are all protecting ordinary citizens, our family has nothing to do with drug dealers, and two There is no one who defected as a soldier, so there is nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be afraid of.

The younger brother said, no, you don’t know, as long as you talk to them now, they don’t beat people, and the opposition also beats people, “There are dormitories for retired red vultures in Siman City, and they were bombarded by the opposition that day. The bombardment came, and no one was left behind."

"The opposition is fighting back, and the black crows and red vultures that are everywhere have died."

"Brother, don't go out. We dare not go out these days. Don't talk to Red Vulture or Black Crow—don't."

Ah Fu froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly became hot again.

That's right, why didn't he think that the reason why the imperial stick came to this side was because the resistance here was as severe as that of Baihui.

The imperial stick did not stay away from the flames of war, but ran after them.

Mother asked him what happened, did you think of something, do you know Red Vulture?Why don't you eat it.

Ah Fu shook his head and said no.

"Of course I don't know him," Ah Fu smiled, "How could I know him?"
