you said you would come to see me

It's not that Ah Fu has never thought about what kind of lies he should use to introduce the existence of the other party to his family if one day he meets the imperial stick again.In fact, he thought of a lot of lies, but unfortunately none of them worked.

He didn't need to hide any feelings. His parents had long hoped that he could find a partner, whether it was a man or a woman, as long as he could live a good life, it didn't matter.

However, such "unimportant" always has additional conditions - they will definitely emphasize one sentence, except for golden jackals, black crows, and red vultures.

Ah Fu slept next to his younger brother during those days, and his life was not stable.

As the family guessed, they heard cannon fire and gunfire every day.Sometimes farther away, sometimes closer.

Since Yaguo couldn't help but shoot, the opposition's counterattack became full of gunpowder.

However, the opposition is targeting the government group. Even if drug lords are involved, in order to prevent public protests, basically all attacks are precisely targeted at the above three types of people and their families, rather than ordinary people.

It was only after the war started that Ah Fu realized that Siman was full of dormitories for retired red vultures.

I heard from my parents that such dormitories are spread all over the country. It is said that an archive was leaked before, and the identities of those red vultures were made public, making them a target.

The government made a last resort-they completely burned the archives of several rooms.

This fire burned the identities of the Red Vultures, but it also burned their achievements.

Ah Fu doesn't know how the government's promise to support them for a lifetime will be fulfilled in the future, but obviously destroying the identity of the Red Vulture is the only way to survive right now.

Every morning Ah Fu came out of the room and looked at the light coming in through the window, thinking for a moment that he was just having a dream full of gunpowder smoke.Look at the sunshine outside the house, the sky is so blue, and their boilers are steaming. It looks like a war.

But within a few minutes, he would see black crows passing by the streets, or hear one or two shouts from a distance, or see a pool of blood next to the trash can by the side of the road, and then all these Bring Alfred back to reality.

All information was cut off, except for one radio that received the official announcements issued daily.

It was 07:30 in the evening, tuned to the channel on time, Ah Fu and his family would sit by the radio, looking forward to the news that martial law would be lifted and the war would end today.

It's a pity that what they heard was condemnation again and again against the opposition, the miscellaneous army, the Gutian that was about to invade, and the domestic drug lords and illegal arms dealers. The speaker was impassioned and had a bunch of titles, but as long as he spoke , Ah Fu's family understood that things didn't get better, but got worse.

Although Ah Fu's family has a warehouse, the food is still limited.Soon, they will be running out of stock.

So Ah Fu would carry a bag, come out of the small shop with his brother or father, and walk along a closed street.

If they are lucky, they can knock on a door or two and let the other party sell them some daily necessities at a high price.When I was unlucky, I walked for hours without gaining anything, and even panicked and squatted on the ground because of the sudden gunshots.

The closest Ah Fu was to the bullet was when the bullet hit the low wall behind him.It brushed past his scalp, splashing dust and stones onto his head and face.

Father was not far away, and as soon as he saw the bullet hitting the low wall, he ran to A Fu's side regardless of whether it was dangerous or not.

Ah Fu had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly threw his father to the ground.

That day, both father and son were covered in ashes, and when they came back, their mother refused to let them find something to eat.

Ah Fu is actually not afraid of these artillery fires. The situation here looks harsher than that of Baihui, but it is actually much better. At least he only needs to avoid the flying shrapnel and not get involved in the crossfire of gangsters for no reason.

But he can understand his parents' uneasiness. It is the helplessness and fear of ordinary people in the face of war. They don't know where to go, and they don't know how to deal with themselves.

Such confusion and apprehension can debilitate or even collapse one's mind, driving one's thoughts to extremes before food is cut off.

And that's what the opposition wants.

After all, as long as a person feels that he has nowhere to go, it is much easier to incite.

Alfred will not allow this to happen.He can no longer care about the life and death of the imperial stick, so he must at least protect the safety of his family.

He insisted on going out every day, no matter whether the gunfire was dense or sparse.

He may not be able to find things back, but he knows that as long as he goes out every day and is safe and sound every day, he can prove to his parents and brother that everything is not so bad, and there is still hope for everything.

But when he looked at the dilapidated streets and scattered passers-by who were in a hurry like him, he found that deceiving himself was much harder than he imagined.

One night two weeks later, the broadcast suddenly told them to turn on the TV.

Ah Fu thought this was a sign of the recovery of communication, but when they turned on the TV, it was another news.

When Ah Fu saw the corpses buried in the ground, he realized that this segment must be broadcast under the threat of the opposition.

It was another scene where the red vulture's dormitory was bombed. The black crow carried the excavated remains from the ruins, one by one, complete or broken, and laid them neatly on the open space.

They were covered with black plastic bags, the same color as the crow's clothes.

Ah Fu didn't know which politician was caught as a bargaining chip, so that such a provocative picture appeared on the TV sets of the people.

But he could understand the reason why the opposition did this. The purpose was nothing more than to make all the people self-aware—if they wanted to get through this turbulent period safely, they had to draw a line with the Red Vulture, and even reward them for reporting.

Ah Fu breathed hard, he was afraid that his expression would betray his heart.

After listening to the report, his parents and younger brother discussed together, but he couldn't say anything.He went back into the room, took out his cigarette and lit it.He sucked the smoke into his lungs desperately until his throat felt dry and uncomfortable.

The edict is probably dead.

The counterattack became more and more severe. As a member of the vanguard, how could Chistick retreat unscathed.

The imagination becomes pale and powerless in the face of the facts. Even if he intends to give himself a glimmer of hope, the flame is getting weaker and weaker, and he is becoming more and more unclear.

Perhaps even the imperial stick himself didn't know what kind of battle was coming, so he naively made the promise to visit Ah Fu again.

Ah Fu couldn't cry, at that moment he couldn't cry at all, he just felt very deep sadness and helplessness and a little bit of luck.

He felt sad for this group of warriors who were fighting for justice, but ended up betraying their relatives.I feel helpless for the people who choose to compromise in order to protect their families even if they are unwilling.

But he is also thankful for the Red Vulture's way of life, that way of living that isolates ordinary human interaction may also weaken their sensitivity to emotions, so that they will not be heartbroken by the betrayal of the people they protect .

As a big country exporting drugs, many things have been deeply rooted for too long.Even if the red vulture is at the top of the predators, how can it change the properties of this land by itself.

Not to mention those politicians hiding in the clouds, who want to ban drugs at one moment, but may change their views and practices the next moment because of political trends that the public does not understand.

Ah Fu and they live in the same country, but they feel that they are far away from each other.It was so far away that he could see the cloud in the sky, which seemed to be within reach, but he couldn't guess the shape it would change in the next second, and he didn't know where it was going.
