Barrier

Sitting on the train, the dark night outside the window was terrifyingly silent.

Not wearing a military uniform this time, Lu Nan seemed very free. Sitting on the uncomfortable seat, with the noise in his ears boiling, Lu Nan closed his eyes and integrated himself into the surrounding environment, without any distractions.

There was a scent of fragrance at the tip of his nose. Lu Nan opened his eyes and found someone sitting in the opposite seat. It was a girl with a beautiful face. She struggled to lift the suitcase and tried to put it on the shelf. She also held a travel bag in her arms and hung it around her neck.

Wearing a camera.

Standing up to help put the suitcase on the luggage rack, the girl shyly thanked Lu Nan.

After a while, the train started to leave.

As the scenery outside the window continued to recede, Lu Nan leaned his head against the window. I have to say that the ticket purchased by Goudou Laogao was quite good. The window seat would be more uncomfortable if it was sandwiched in the middle.

"The ticket is being checked. Please take out your ticket and ID." The ticket inspector was a loud-sounding lady.

Train ticket inspections usually check for fake documents and tickets, as well as the height of minors. Once the child exceeds the height standard, there is no need to negotiate for ticket reimbursement.

Soon the ticket inspector walked up to Lu Nan and said, "Take out your ID and ticket."

Taking out the ticket and soldier's ID card from his pocket, Lu Nan handed it to the ticket inspector. After taking a look at the ID card, the elder sister immediately returned the ID card and ticket to Lu Nan. She continued to check other people's tickets. When she caught a child, she shouted to him

Did the parents buy tickets?

In the end, the child's parents were reluctant to pay for a ticket, and the ticket inspector finally gave up.

"Are you a soldier?" the girl opposite suddenly asked.

Lu Nan nodded: "Yes, do you need help?"

"Um~~~No, I'm just asking."

"oh."

The girl asked again: "Going home to visit relatives?"

"right."

"How many years have you been working?"

"Three years."

Girl: "Are you tired?"

Lu Nan: "Not bad."

Girl: "What military branch are you?"

Lu Nan: "Army Special Warfare."

"Special Forces?" The girl was immediately interested.

"right."

Picking up the camera in her arms, the girl was eager to try it. She took out the camera and prepared to take a photo of Lu Nan.

Lu Nan hurriedly covered the camera: "Sorry, we can't take the picture."

"Why?"

"I don't want to take pictures."

The girl opened her mouth in disbelief: "It's just a photo."

"Sorry, can't take pictures."

Seeing Lu Nan's stern refusal, the girl put away the camera gloomily and turned to look at the night scene outside the window.

After a long night, the sky was bright. Only then did Lu Nan discover that the rapeseed flowers in the field were blooming, and they were blooming extremely brightly. The girl pointed the camera at the rapeseed flowers outside the window, carefully focused and started taking pictures, but the picture was not.

Not satisfied.

Lu Nan said with great interest: "How about I help you take the photo."

"Can you take pictures?" the girl asked hesitantly.

"I know a little bit about it."

"All right."

After taking the camera, Lu Nan took a look at the brand and specifications. This kind of camera had been used by the Lone Wolf Commandos during military training, but it was not easy to use, so it was soon replaced with a more expensive camera.

At that time, Lu Nan also concluded that cheap cameras are not necessarily bad for photography training, but expensive ones are definitely not bad.

‘Kacha’

After Lu Nan took the photo, he returned the camera to her. The latter was very satisfied after seeing the photo, and the conversation between the two started. Except that she always liked to ask some confidential questions, Lu Nan had a good impression of this little girl.

The girl is a photography enthusiast, and she is half-skilled. She plans to take a car to travel to Xiaoxiang and take photos along the way.

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Nan got off the bus after arriving at the station, walked out of the train station and took a bus.

The line bus arrived in the town. Lu Nan got off the bus and saw the familiar streets. A feeling of familiarity and strangeness arose in his heart. After being away for many years, Lu Nan felt more or less like a wanderer returning home.

A motorcycle stopped next to Lu Nan, and the owner said in the local dialect: "Where to go, five yuan."

"Go~~~"

Before he even finished talking about where to go, Lu Nan recognized who the motorcyclist was. He was a former junior high school classmate who was a fool when he was studying. Before graduating from junior high school, he and a girl in his class killed someone and were expelled directly.

"Yang Xing?"

"Who are you?"

Lu Nan smiled and said, "Lu Nan, from Huangkouba Village."

"Hey! It's true, didn't you go to be a soldier?" Yang Xing asked with a smile.

"Visiting relatives."

"How many years have you been in charge?"

"Three years."

Twisting the handle of the motorcycle, Yang Xing smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you back. I didn't recognize you at first, but now you are a celebrity in our town. In the first month of the year, people from the county come to your house playing gongs and drums.

, and also gave your family a plaque."

As he got on the motorcycle, Yang Xing kept talking about the incident that shocked this small mountain town on the first month of the year.

There was smoke rising from the grave of the old Lu family. Even the head of the township came to express his condolences and gave a thousand yuan in condolence money on the spot. He said that Lu Nan had made meritorious service in the army, and rice, flour, and oil were delivered to his home for free. He immediately held a banquet and invited the whole village.

People and leaders have to eat.

Hearing this, Lu Nan felt quite uncomfortable. In the past, his second uncle had made meritorious deeds, but he never mentioned that his military medals were hidden on the beams and tied to death. People from the county who came to collect information only made a few prevarications.

I have been stubborn all my life, and it feels like my brain has been kicked by a donkey.

Lu Nan talked about Yang Xing's motorcycle. It was not cheap. It looked like it was at least 80% new.

"Hi! This is a gift from my father-in-law when I get married."

"Are you married, Erying?"

"no."

After that, Lu Nan didn't ask any more questions. The car stopped at the entrance of the village. Lu Nan insisted on paying. Yang Xing took the ten yuan with a smile, turned the accelerator and disappeared.

Carrying his luggage, Lu Nan walked in the direction of the home he remembered. Walking along the winding mountain road, when he came to the door of a familiar yet unfamiliar home, there was a plaque hanging under the eaves of a dilapidated old wooden house.

When he got home, Lu Nan threw his things on the ground and lay on the sofa without taking off his shoes.

"Who is it? Come and catch the thief."

Lu Nan turned sideways and glanced: "Your son, what are you yelling about?"

The mother who came out of the kitchen carrying a kitchen knife looked around and finally recognized Hei Tan lying on the sofa as her son. As soon as the kitchen knife was thrown away, she hugged Lu Nan and started crying.

Hearing someone crying in the house, Lao Lu, who was cooking in the kitchen, ran out with a spatula. When he saw his biological son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his nose became sore.

At dinner, my mother put vegetables into Lu Nan's bowl with great enthusiasm, and saw her son, who was so black and charcoal, worried.

"Xiaonan, what are you doing in the army? Why are you so tanned?"

Lu Nan, who was holding a big bowl of rice, said slurring his words: "Just like my second uncle."

‘Crack!’

Hearing this, Lao Lu slapped his chopsticks on the dining table: "I'm sorry, I'm discharged from the army and go home."

"Why are you going home and working on the two-eight-acre land left by your ancestors?" Lu Nan said.

Lao Lu said with a straight face: "I didn't agree with you joining the army when you first joined the army. You learned from your uncle. You want to be like him in the future. You will come back with a broken leg and no shit. When you die, you won't even have a filial son or grandson to help you mourn."

Lu Nan threw away the chopsticks and turned to look at the roof.

"What you say doesn't work."

"I'm shaking you up!"
