you said you would come to see me

In the 582 year of the Beast Elephant Calendar, the Crow Country finally joined the New Beast Elephant Alliance after five applications.

On that day, the whole country was in an atmosphere of joy, and the civilians put on colorful costumes and paraded in the streets.

Television and newspapers took turns to convey this good news to the people from all angles and pervasively for a week, lest they realize that they are already standing on the front stage of the world.

People had proud expressions on their faces, as if they had really seen the scene of seeing the moon through the clouds and mists.

Ah Fu found Luo Tuo's younger sister, and he told her as Luo Tuo instructed—your brother has smuggled to the Wolf Country, and he will come back to pick you up when he gets a better life.

At that time, the little girl was being fostered by a widow's home. The widow saw the truth hidden in Ah Fu's expression, but the little girl didn't.So she was very happy, she was so happy that she shed tears, she said it was good if she didn't die, alas, it was good if she didn't die.

Ah Fu said how could it be, the Red Vulture came, they would not die.

The little girl kept wiping her eyes, nodding with sobs.

The widow gave Ah Fu a sympathetic look, and Ah Fu signaled her not to tell the truth with his eyes.

People have to look forward to it, after all, Ah Fu didn't see the death of the camel, so what if he really didn't die?What if, he really smuggled to the wolf country.

There was nothing about the Red Eagle in the report, and the only thing mentioned was that the Black Crow had united with a group of "Quick Response Teams directly under the Central Committee" to carry out a raid.

Ah Fu took the newspaper to find the imperial stick.

It was the third month that Chi Chou had settled down in Siman. Although he couldn't use his left hand, he managed to find a job as a bookkeeper.In fact, he doesn't have to work at all, but he feels that if he doesn't work again, Ah Fu's parents will definitely find out his identity.

Ah Fu didn't tell the eunuch, his parents talked to him that night.

After all, parents know their children best, even if Ah Fu wants to hide it, there is no room for it.

But fortunately, their concerns were naturally there, but they did not strongly oppose it.Perhaps the common people know in their hearts that they should not approach the Red Vulture unless they can. It's not because the Red Vulture is bad, but to save their own lives.

The red vultures are a group of people who can't be revealed publicly. Even if the newspapers don't report it, everyone knows that it is neither the black crow nor the golden jackal, and only the red vulture is the root cause of the change of the crow country.

Father asked Ah Fu, think it over, you really want to get along with him, the drug lords in the crow country cannot be wiped out, maybe he will return to the army one day.

The mother also asked Ah Fu, how much do you like him?After all, he is different from the children of ordinary people. Their personalities may not be very good. After seeing too much blood, the days to come will also be clouded.

The younger brother also asked Ah Fu, he said brother, although I like him very much, but you really want to be with a red vulture.In case the situation turns bad again one day, you are his weakness and the biggest target.

They knew all about Ah Fu, as early as Baihui.

He watched them fight street fights every day with his own eyes, saw their heads stuck on poles to show off as gangster trophies, watched them be quartered and stuffed into a small box, and he also watched them cover their faces and drag drug dealers Drag them to an open field, put a gun to their heads, and slap them across the face.

But he also saw that it was these wings that were not afraid of bleeding that swept away the cloud that had been cast over Baihui.It was their howl that tore a rift in the misty sky.

It was they who didn't want titles or medals, rushed into the most dangerous line of fire before the black crows came, and opened a way for the black crows to let the people on the clouds know that we can still fight drug dealers, you see the red vultures Killing a bloody road means that there is still hope for everything.

Ah Fu is willing to take the risk for such a person.

Just as he is willing to pounce on the camel's muzzle, is willing to risk his life to pass on the information, is willing to sit on the pier and wait for a news that does not know whether it will come, and is willing to say with his own throat, there is no red vulture, the next one will be It was you who collapsed.

The imperial stick held the newspaper and read it carefully, with a complicated expression on his face.

Ah Fu said, I don’t mention you, doesn’t it feel very sad.

The imperial stick was silent for a while, then raised his head, and said to Ah Fu - "There is something I haven't told you, I don't know if it's a stain."

Ah Fu said, tell me, do you still have few stains on your body?

The imperial stick smiled, pressed down the newspaper, and said—"I am a descendant of a drug lord, and my father should be a drug lord of Tao Dao."

To be honest, Ah Fu was a little surprised to hear the truth.

It never occurred to him that Chi Chou was actually a descendant of a drug lord. According to his understanding, drug lords are all rich and wealthy. They have a sworn feud with the anti-drug team, so how could it be possible to cultivate a red vulture.

"I have no impression of him, but more and more things have been made public recently. I also checked some information, and I think there should be nothing wrong." Chi stick added, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he also said something for himself Feel funny.

What an ironic thing, and what is even more ironic is that when Chi stick returned to his uncle and aunt's old house last week, he found the wooden barrel under a loose floor tile.

In fact, he didn't have any expectations to return to Tao Dao, he just felt that since Red Vulture's career started when he escaped from this small house, at the end of his career, he should also return to the same place to bid farewell.

This house has been abandoned, and the yellow boundary strips of that year have long been weathered and broken.

He stepped on the creaky wooden floor, and every time he walked, countless smoke and dust were raised.

He has seen the dining table where he ate, the small table where he did his homework, the broken vase and porcelain, and the spot where two corpses once lay.

He can still recall the scene of the bullet passing through the head of his uncle and aunt.

They bled so much they filled the cracks in the floorboards.Their lives seemed to have penetrated into this house, and even after so many years, they were still entrenched behind every brick and every tile.

The wooden barrel was found under the counter where my aunt often cooks.

Perhaps it is also because of the age that the tiles that were originally hidden cells became looser.

Lifting it up with the imperial stick, he saw the wooden barrel.

The things inside are well wrapped in plastic bags, waterproof and moisture-proof, and they are stacks of brand new banknotes.

He never told Ah Fu about this from beginning to end, and now he doesn't want to hide it anymore.It seems that his uncle and aunt have indeed been supported by his father, even if they don't necessarily know his true identity.

He had been raised on this money, the stolen money he had fought against for more than a decade.

At that moment, his emotions were very complicated, without hatred or gratitude.It's just that the truth made him feel at a loss, and also plunged him into a deep self-doubt.

But Ah Fu feels that there should be no self-doubt, because it shows——

"Your father thinks your choice is right," Afu said, "so other drug dealers can't find the money, but let you find it."

No one can say that the child of a drug lord must be a drug lord, just as no one can say that everyone in the Crow Country is inseparable from those things.No one knows how their origins are arranged by God, but they can choose to take the predetermined path, or change another path.

"Even if your father is a drug lord, you are still a hero in Red Vulture." Ah Fu smiled.

He patted the cudgel on the face and took the newspaper away.

The sunset was very red that day, and the sun spread across the vast sea, turning the docks, cargo ships and containers into dazzling gold.The place where the sea and the sky meet is like a flame burning, boiling the sea water and burning the sky red.

Ah Fu held the newspaper and walked to the edge of the pier. He really loved this place.

This is a land that makes him restless, but even if he had to choose again, he would still die and live here.

Epilogue

What he saw was a vast mountain field.

Here are the most trees he has ever seen, the greenest mountains, the clearest rivers, the hottest sunshine and the longest rainy season.

The moist soil made the air moist, the sticky summer made the skin dark, and the sweat reflected in the moonlight, as if a clear stream spread over the body.

This is a land where gold grows, and you can smell the fragrance of money as long as you lie down.It is extremely soft, as if a generous embrace hugs people tightly, and then swallows it into the stomach.

Then melt his body, let his soul grow together with the earth.

He is sinking.

He is not standing on the ground, the ground is becoming one with him.He put his hands on his chest, his heart pounding.He put his hands on the ground, and the gravel beat to the rhythm of his heart.

He ran up, trying to find a figure.He pulled out his legs from the warm soil, and the mountains and rivers went away behind him.He squinted to follow the direction of the moon, and the stars and clouds changed color and shape.

He kept fleeing forward until night became day.

He saw the moon turned into the sun, and he saw the vast blue sky with white clouds like snowflakes.

Then he saw an elongated figure, that shadow was at the foot of the mountain, the sunlight illuminated his outline, but could not illuminate his face.

There was a curl of smoke above Shadow's head, beckoning him to go.

He came barefoot to the shadow, and saw a field of flowers.

The man said, go and pick one, and you will be able to return to the wonderful world if you pick it.

He didn't know if the shadow was a person, so he raised his hand to touch the other person's heart.It's a pity that he didn't feel anything, the chest of the other party was different from his.

The other party turned to look at him, but he couldn't see the other party's face clearly.There is only a little spark on the shadow's mouth, flickering, as if the flame of hope is ignited, and it seems to be slowly burning out hope.

Every time you inhale, the spark becomes brighter, and every time you sigh, the smoke overflows from the shadow.

Shadow took his hand, and Xinghuo was passed into his hand.

Seeing him hesitate, the shadow said, you don't want to be like this forever, this is just a short-term happiness, a short-term peace, and the world will eventually return to its original appearance. From ancient times to the present, only the incense of gold coins, and a piece of chaos and chaos Savage.

The smoke blurred his vision, but the flower fields in front of him were gradually fading away.

He didn't want to go there, because he knew that it wasn't the sun, the white clouds or the blue sky that dissipated, nor the mountains and forests behind him, nor the fertile fields.

He didn't answer the shadow's words, but just stood by the edge of the flower field.Until the flower fields wither, and then slowly dissipate.

He looked back, and the green water and green mountains disappeared, and the sun and moon also lost their luster.

He seems to be back in the wasteland.

But he knew that sooner or later a real mountain field would grow here.

The purpose of war is for peace.
