After two years of marriage, the officer husband can’t stand it any longer.

Heavy snow has fallen in the southwest border areas.

"Old Lu, what are you thinking about?" Yuan Ye shouted from a distance, but when he didn't see a response, he replied to himself: "You've only been here for more than a month and you already feel homesick? When did you become like this? If you want to be successful, you have to go through hard work. Although you are very capable, this is a decision from above. You can go wherever there is need."

Lu Nanchen didn't answer, and complained in his heart that you, a single guy, don't understand what it's like to have a wife and children.

"Old Lu, why are you so cool? It's so cold. There's no fish in the lake! You've been sitting here for two hours. Don't waste your time. You'd better go on patrol with me." He still didn't see him. Li Ren, Yuan Ye threw a snowball at him.

Before he finished speaking, a big fish suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the lake. It flipped several times on the surface of the lake before diving back into the water.

Lu Nanchen picked up a ball of snow and rolled it into a ball and threw it at Yuan Ye: "You scared away the fish."

Yuan Ye dodged, smiled and sighed helplessly. He looked around and saw a vast white scene. The mountains in the distance were covered in white snow, which looked particularly spectacular. The cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver: "You really don't want to go on patrol with me? This season, I don't know if there will be any unexpected situations..."

Lu Nanchen was silent for a while, then slowly stood up, carrying the fishing rod and bucket, and walked towards the camp.

Yuan Ye looked at his back and felt an invisible pressure. This man always went his own way. He hurriedly caught up with him. The two walked through the gate of the camp side by side. Yuan Ye looked at Lu Nanchen's resolute face and felt cold. Xia is moody and unpredictable, and only that boy Hua Feng can tolerate his temper.

When a snowflake fell from the sky, Yuan Ye and Lu Nanchen's patrol trip began. This was not a simple patrol. They were going to the residential area in front of them to learn about the suspicious incidents that had occurred in the past few days. After that, they had to write a report...

They walked in the snow, their breath floating in the air like white mist.

The climate in the southwest frontier is very cold, but they are used to this harsh environment. They wore thick military coats and cotton gloves to prevent frostbite.

"The snow here is really heavy, heavier than what I have seen before." Yuan Ye looked around and sighed.

Lu Nanchen responded: "The climate here is quite special. There are heavy snowfalls several times every year."

The two walked along the lake, leaving their deep footprints in the snow. There was a thick layer of ice on the lake, and the water was frozen, making it look particularly quiet.

The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, and Yuan Ye's slightly chapped lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to Lu Nanchen, but he did not speak.

After taking just a few steps, Yuan Ye's foot slipped and the back of his head hit the ice. Stars were popping up in front of his eyes. Fortunately, he was protected by his hat, otherwise he would have had a huge bulge.

"Are you okay?" Lu Nanchen hunched over and pulled Yuan Ye up from the ground, flicking the snow off.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yuan Ye waved his hand and patted the snow on his body: "If I had known better, I would have changed my shoes."

Lu Nanchen smiled sarcastically: "I'm stupid and blame the shoes, so I can really blame him."

As he continued to move towards his destination, Yuan Ye glared at Lu Nanchen's back. Years ago, he was unwilling to talk to others, and many years later, he was very rude.

And Lei Shi, since he got married to Bai Lu, his mouth can be louder than others who have been opened... Alas, he has only a few teammates, but he is the only one left alone.

"Lao Lu, wait for me..."

Yuan Ye kneaded snowballs and threw them at him from behind, making the boring days a little fun.

Lu Nanchen couldn't stand his childish behavior, so he immediately took off his heavy coat and threw it aside. Yuan Ye felt that the lion was angered and backed away: "Brother, I was just kidding you, don't be like this."

Lu Nanchen acted as if he didn't hear anything and just kicked him. The two hugged each other and wrestled. This was a game that men should play. Yuan Ye finally admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, and Lu Nanchen let go.

They continued along the lake, which was covered with a thick layer of ice, extending to the woods beside the lake. The trees in the woods are also covered with snow, and the branches are covered with crystal clear ice.

After walking for about an hour and a half, they finally saw rows of wooden houses, which were the residential areas in front of them. The residents here are ethnic minorities who live a traditional lifestyle and are wary of outsiders.

Yuan Ye and Lu Nanchen walked to the door of a wooden house and knocked gently. An old man opened the door and looked unhappy after seeing them.

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

Yuan Ye smiled politely and replied: "We are soldiers of the border defense force, patrolling here."

"Patrol? Is there anything to patrol here?" The old man was not only confused, but also very vigilant.

"We heard that there are some suspicious things here, so we want to ask you, old man, to see if you have discovered anything."

The old man shook his head: "Suspicious situation? No, everything is fine here."

Yuan Ye: "Have any strangers been here recently? Or, has anything strange happened?"

"No, no, everything is normal here." The old man shook his head again and closed the door.

Yuan Ye and Lu Nanchen looked at each other, feeling a little strange. They didn't know why the old man was so resistant to answering questions. Under normal circumstances, knowing that they were stationed in the garrison, he should have cooperated and his attitude would not be so bad.

"I'll ask other families."

Yuan Ye went door-to-door and found that the situation was basically the same in every household. Lu Nanchen couldn't figure it out. Someone had obviously written an anonymous letter and stuffed it into his pocket, requesting local inspections, but why were they always like this?

The two found nothing and walked back. At this time, the snow on the road had been shoveled away by the snow plow, making it easier to walk than when they came.

"Lao Lu, tell me, what does that letter mean?"

Lu Nanchen shook his head: "I don't know. I only had contact with one child that day, and she didn't recognize her. When I came back, I found that there was an extra letter in my pocket."

"You said that since the other party was able to give you the letter, why didn't they explain the situation directly and make it so complicated and mysterious that there was a suspicious person colluding with senior military officials?"

"I guess I want to convey something, but I'm afraid of alerting others and being discovered. You just saw it. When the people here heard that we were from the garrison, their faces instantly changed. It means there is something fishy here."

Yuan Ye sighed: "There are no tricks or corrupt officials. This is how society is. We can't control that much, and we are not the police. We have already gone through the formalities. The rest is left to the superiors to investigate. I only accept orders. Follow the arrangements."

Lu Nanchen glanced at him sideways, and then walked faster. Modern society is indeed different from before. When I was a child, I often heard my grandfather say that all the young people of his generation were full of passion, people-oriented, and the interests of the masses were higher than everything.

A college student from a village is an educated youth who can drive the development of the entire village. Nowadays, there are a lot of them in the streets, but there is very little substance...

He may understand why the political commissar and chief of staff sent him here. Even if he pokes a hole in the sky, no one would dare to retaliate against him, but he doesn't want to do that now, and even thinks that what Yuan Ye said makes sense! ! !
