He sent Gui Xiao to the small inn in the town.

Packing her luggage, she found a few bottles of medicine, and Gui Xiao explained to him one by one as if she was donating treasures. There is another one that she did not explain in detail, and she hesitated for a while before saying: "I have had hypothyroidism since I became pregnant... I can only take this to supplement it. I asked the doctor what trouble it will cause, and he said that there is a small probability that it will affect the baby's intelligence. , there is a certain probability that the baby will also inherit hypothyroidism. There is a small probability, don't be afraid, I am taking medicine. "

After Gui Xiao finished speaking, she was still worried, but she had thought about it for a long time, anyway, what kind of baby is born.

Lu Yanchen listened and wanted to find a few words to comfort her, but he was afraid that she would pay more attention to this point, so he didn't say anything. Sitting down on the chair beside the bed, he took out a knife from his waist and wanted to cut a pineapple for her to eat. Then he thought that it was not suitable for this thing to be stained with the blood of a stranger, so he put away the knife and went downstairs to ask for a knife Get a plate ready.

When Gui Xiao eats it, he always wants to do something for her, but he has nothing to do. Seeing that she doesn't eat after a few pieces, he soaks the towel and wipes her fingers clean one by one. Very careful, more serious than brushing guns in the past.

Gui Xiao leaned on his shoulder and was served by him like this, his nose was sore: "Lu Chen... I miss you. Do you miss me?"

No nutritious dialogue will last forever.

"Think." Lu Yanchen responded and went out again.

"What are you going to do?" She had just cultivated some emotions.

"Get water for you, bubble feet." A voice came in from outside the door.

Duan Rou, who was passing by, heard it, glanced at Gui Xiao, and whispered, "Sure enough, you need to look for a handsome husband. The more handsome people are, the better their temperament is. Alright," Gui Xiao whispered, "he was a little rascal when he was young, and he could be scared to death if he didn't say a word."

When Gui Xiao said this, he remembered when he was a child, when he was pregnant, he was hypocritical and always thought about everything. When Lu Yanchen came back with the water and put her feet in the hot water, she reached out and touched his head: "Pinch your feet."

Lu Yanchen raised his eyelids and looked at her with a half-smile. But the subordinates have already done so, and it is quite comfortable to squeeze.

"Lu Chen?"

"Um?"

"Is your big dog still there?"

"It's long gone, what's wrong?" Lu Yanchen judged that Gui Xiao definitely wanted to mention that.

"Do you remember the first time you wrote me a love letter?"

… You guessed it right, that’s what happened.

The first time the two quarreled, Gui Xiao didn't fall asleep all night, staring at the ceiling until dawn.

The next day, in the morning self-study, she stepped into the classroom on the front foot, and on the back foot, the boy who usually didn't talk much in the class came over, and took out a letter from the military satchel: "This letter is for you." She was embarrassed: "What?" When I went to school in the morning, I met Brother Chen walking the dog, and he asked me to bring it to you..." The boy shoved her into her hand and gave her a few more glances, which made Gui Xiao even more embarrassed.

Later, she learned that Lu Chen was walking the dog from three to six o'clock that day, for fear of missing the little boy who could bring her a letter. The letter was ravaged and unopened at night. She went home to page him, and when he called back, he talked about walking the dog at three o'clock.

"Oh," she leaned against the bookshelf, pretending to be silly with her phone between her hands, "why are you doing so early?"

The person on the phone was silent for a while and said, "Too angry."

She hummed again. I'm still angry...

"Is your cold okay?"

She was bored for a while: "how do you know I have a cold?"

I was always afraid that it would be too ugly to wipe my nose in front of him, so I desperately endured it, took out a tissue and wiped it quickly when he didn't pay attention, and I was not expecting to be noticed early. He laughed, in the melody of the bitter love song, especially discordant.

That year, the music market was still booming. "Excessive", "Using Love", "My Heart Is Too Chaos", "Love Like Tide" and so on were all popular. The phone was in the study. In order to answer his calls in the shortest time, she always turned up the volume of the recorder so that she would not be heard outside.

She thought she would memorize the contents of that letter without fail. But she still overestimated herself, and what I remember now is only a few vague sentences, to the effect, I asked her if she remembered what she said—

If you are together, you are not allowed to break up. Lu Chen, if you dare to break up, I will cry to death for you. Don't play, promise, swear, quarrel, just don't break up.

Look, this is the level of Lu Chen's love letter.

The sweet words disappeared, and she threw her coquettish words back to remind her: quarrels are okay, but they cannot break up.

Lu Yanchen felt that the water was cold, fished her feet out of the water, squatted half-squatting, put them on her knees to wipe off the water droplets, and it was fun to hold a pair of small feet in the palm of her hand...

"Foot lover..." Gui Xiao kicked him.

Qin Mingyu came back with a lot of fresh fruit. This probe was amazing, and he retracted it as if he didn't see it.

That night.

Lu Yanchen searched for thyroid problems during pregnancy by taking advantage of the gaps in the online search for information, and also looked at other concurrent pregnancy symptoms. Cigarette after cigarette, without breaking, Qin Mingyu was choked awake. It stands to reason that Qin Mingyu is also a married person and a father, but he has never reached the level of Lu Yanchen's treatment of Gui Xiao. He is a past wife whom he knew on a blind date, so he feels that getting married is to have a baby and live a life, and everyone's life is inevitable. After the journey, whether you love it or not, in the end, isn't the little friction of firewood, rice, oil, and salt grinding into family affection? The older generation and the same generation are all the same.

But in Lu Yanchen and his wife, it seems that this has become a paradox.

Love is still what it is.

***

After Gui Xiao left, Lu Yanchen learned a lesson and reported in advance.

I will apply for it in the week around my due date.

The superior leader used his great favor to transfer people from Erlianhot to support him. Seeing that the report directly marked "wife production", he still approved it after weighing it.

The place that Lu Yanchen was in was the border, and the nearly 2,000 kilometers of the national border were inaccessible areas.

This factory is also, because it usually mainly recycles discarded ammunition, it is a secret unit, and there are no people before and after. The workers here are also simple, many of them are father and son, father and daughter, both generations have done this work, and are civilian "bomb disposal experts". When Lu Yanchen was in his spare time, he would often be invited by them to study the discarded ammunition together.

Although his temper is cold, he is better than the experts in other houses. He has been on the front line for many years. He can not only tell these people about the structure of ammunition, but also other things, such as the scene after the detonation, and the small anecdotes during actual combat. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people brought food to the experts, and Lu Yanchen prepared a lot in this room.

When there was still half a month before the due date, he and Gui Xiao talked on the phone more frequently.

On the phone, Lu Yanchen tried to discuss pregnancy issues with her several times, but Gui Xiao ignored them. She just kept laughing on the phone, giving him gossip, how Qin Mingyu and his colleagues were separated from each other... "I'm telling you, it's funny, Duan Rou told me two days ago that when they met that day, Duan Rou felt a good impression. Just asked Qin Mingyu, I think we can try to get along, do you agree? She just Tell me, seeing Qin Mingyu's face blushing, like a big girl..."

He sat on the rock at the top of the mountain and looked out in the middle of the night. There was no light, only the mountains and forests under the moon. In front of you is a cliff.

Looking up from the mountain road, no one is seen, only a little light is shining there, like a star studded in the night sky.

This cigarette was asked by Qin Mingyu before he left. It didn't have a filter. He didn't realize it until it was hot. When the cigarette was thrown away, there was a figure running up from the foot of the mountain. It was the leading guard.

"If something happens, hang up first." He intuitively felt that something was going to happen.

"It's so late... what's the matter?" It was past eleven o'clock.

"It's okay, Qin Mingyu drank too much." Lu Yanchen's lies were so ridiculous that he didn't even think about it.

"Oh, then you go quickly."

disconnected.

The man who ran up was panting: "Someone broke into the restricted area."

It's really not a good thing.

Lu Yanchen put his hands on the edge of the rock, jumped down three or four meters, and ran down when he landed: "Is anyone there?"

"Yes, there are six or seven people who entered the restricted area, all of them young," the person behind him followed, running to talk about the situation, "It was said to be playing Truth or Dare or something, and there was a timid man who entered. I didn’t dare to go in. I squatted outside the restricted area for three or four hours. I was scared and called the police. Now all the local police are there.”

Lu Yanchen scolded someone and took the guard into the car.

This area has long since pulled the wire and put up a sign, indicating that it is a military restricted area. A cordon of more than ten kilometers, guarded day and night, was still passed by those tourists. After the security guard spoke succinctly, the engineers evacuated to another base. These experts in the factory are the closest to here. Now that the situation is urgent, they are the only ones who can cooperate with the police.

Among these experts, Lu Yanchen and Qin Mingyu had the most practical experience.

ten minutes later.

The car brakes on the side of the dirt road, the blinding lights dangle ahead, and a few temporary lights surround a piece of turf. Lu Yanchen opened the car door and went out, just as he heard the very young man blaming the uniformed policeman with righteous indignation: "We are all taxpayers, you have to protect our safety? Why is there no one guarding here, so simple Iron wire? Hang a sign?" Apparently, the young man had been messing around for a long time, and the police were not very happy, including Qin Mingyu, who had just arrived in military uniform, was also troubled by the young man's quarrel, and kept complaining to the police. Received 110 who came slowly, came and didn't act, just waited here.

The policeman was quite good-natured, explaining that this is a minefield, it is not so simple, and we must wait for the EOD experts to come.

Qin Mingyu saw Lu Yanchen coming in the midst of the commotion, so he hurried up to meet him. When the police saw that the expert was coming so soon, they let out a long breath and also came up to quickly communicate the newly updated situation. There is still no signal here, and I can't make a phone call, so I can only search in a large area. The young man was blocked by two policemen, and he was looking at Lu Yanchen. The others were smart. Seeing everyone crowding Lu Yanchen, they guessed what kind of leader they were, and immediately ran forward: "Are you the leader? You have to give me a promise—"

"Pull him aside for me." Lu Yanchen was very impatient.

"What's your attitude?" The man gritted his teeth and went out to touch the phone, "Stand for me, don't hide, I'll post someone like you online!" Lu Yanchen snatched his phone and threw it to the person behind him : "Military bases, filming will be dealt with as espionage."

... That man was stunned by Lu Yanchen's gaze.

Lu Yanchen didn't bother to care about this person anymore, and said to Qin Mingyu, "According to what we just said, you lead a team, I'll lead a team—"

The young man's mobile phone was taken away, and his anger surged. Seeing that Lu Yanchen was still deploying, he became even more anxious: "I've reported the case for so long, and I'm still delayed here and can't go in to save people! Still discussing? Is it still negotiating?"

"It's a minefield! Do you know that?" Qin Mingyu couldn't hold back, and took the man under the lamp, "These policemen don't know how to clear mines! Without us, it's no use for them to go in!"

"Don't make excuses, you are just inefficient and don't take the lives of the common people as your life. Are you a soldier? Are you worthy of your clothes? You usually show off your power and show off your power. Wherever you go to get a police officer card, you don't need to pay for tickets. We raised it with money!"

Qin Mingyu rolled up his sleeves: "I'm so fucking..."

Lu Yanchen glared at Qin Mingyu: "Get dressed, get your tools, hurry up."

After he finished speaking, his 1.8-meter body turned around and looked directly at the man: "How much tax have you paid since you worked? Do you have one hundred thousand?" "...More than one hundred thousand," the man was fooled by him. After experience, I knew that Lu Yanchen was the most fierce, so he pretended to be tough, "Less than 200,000."

"200,000 yuan, I'll give it back to you," he glanced behind him. "Bring the explosion-proof suit and put it on this man. Come, you and us will save your friend."

"... This is your job, why should I go?"

"Don't worry, I have a high position and I will give you a report so that you can go to the park for free from tomorrow." Lu Yanchen's voice sank.

"...I'm not going...Aren't you kidding me? How do I, a commoner, get in..."

"The police don't understand either. You are just like them. Don't be afraid. I'll take you with me." Lu Yanchen patted him on the shoulder. "It's your duty to save your friend! Qin Mingyu!"

"arrive!"

"Put him on!"

"Yes!"

The young man was completely silent, looking at Lu Yanchen's white-faced killer, he flashed back involuntarily: "Don't be fooling around, aren't you fooling around?" Lu Yanchen looked at his face, and his eyes became even colder: " 200,000 sacrifices are not worth it, right? Do you think that the lives of us are not worth it? Tell you, if you dare not go, just stay with me honestly. Believe in Buddha and ask for Buddha, believe in God and pray, and do everything. If you don't believe me, just sing the national anthem for me! Don't delay us saving people!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the young man, and took Qin Mingyu's shoulders to get the tools.

"It's a fucking lack of education." Qin Mingyu was furious.

"Education is his parents' business," Lu Yanchen said ruthlessly, "Let's go."

After so many rescues in the past, there are tears of gratitude for the common people, of course, they will also encounter scumbags, and they cannot give up the oath they once made under the national flag just because one or two are uneducated.

The two changed their clothes, divided their troops into two groups, and entered the restricted area.

The sappers have been evacuated in a small area here, and the danger is relatively small. I can only pray that the young people who are taking great risks will be lucky and stop going to the remote places. They really enter the dangerous area.

"You just changed jobs," Qin Mingyu was still worried about Lu Yanchen before putting on the mask, "Don't affect you."

Lu Yanchen didn't speak. There is nothing to worry about, worry about this, it is better to worry more about Gui Xiao, who is about to give birth. I'm afraid that she won't say anything, and the big things will be trivial...

The two dispersed, and Lu Yanchen took the four of them and headed northeast.

The grass is underfoot, and the forest is in front.

Qingshan, Moonlight, he inexplicably thought of the phrase "Qingshan is fortunate to be buried with loyal bones", and he always had a bad premonition. The last time was when the old captain was murdered.
