When Zhang Jiu was in his teens, he had a dream. He came alone to Moscow, the capital of Russia, which he had rarely heard of, and met his true love in front of the Kremlin.The man's figure and appearance were indistinct, but Zhang Jiu's heart almost jumped out.He stretched out his fingers to touch each other, it felt like liquid, he put his fingers in his mouth to taste: bitter and salty.

This dream has been lingering in Zhang Jiu's mind ever since.A good friend analyzed the dream for him, saying that it should be related to water, so there must be sea in the name of his true son, such as Jiang Hai.Zhang Jiu was not happy, and he replied: How could it be called such a vulgar word as Hai, at least it should be Yang, Jiang Yang.My friend laughed: Jiang Yang?The Jiangyang Bandit.

Zhang Jiu doesn't know what other people's parents are like. Anyway, he defines his parents as the most unreliable parents in the world.His parents repeatedly told Zhang Jiu that they were very serious when they named him. Although Zhang Bao was always written in the household registration book before he went to school, they changed his scientific name to Zhang Xu after school.Who would have thought that after moving in that year and changing his household registration, something was missing when the police station entered Zhang Xu's name. . . . . .In short, in the end, by mistake, they found that they had to use Zhang Jiu as the official name for the entrance examination.

But Zhang Jiu was relieved later. First, this incident made him aspire to be a policeman at the police station. Second, he felt that all of this was predestined, and he was short of life.

Zhang Jiu was transferred from an inland city to a small town on the Yunnan border two years ago to work as a policeman.This opportunity was what he asked for, because Zhang Jiu had a major change in his life that year.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Jiu's parents went to Dali and Lijiang with a middle-aged and elderly tour group.When they were in Lijiang, the tour bus they were on was hit by a truck and overturned.Many people in the car were injured, and only three unfortunate people died, including Zhang Jiu's parents.

As the only child, Zhang Jiu was in a trance, accompanied by his uncle and aunt, to take care of his parents' funeral affairs. When he was almost done and ready to leave Lijiang, Zhang Jiu cried silently while hugging a pillow in the hotel.All this happened too suddenly, and Zhang Jiu still couldn't accept that his young, healthy, cheerful and optimistic parents left him like this, leaving him alone in this world.

Although Zhang Jiu did not come out to his parents, he imagined that one day, his enlightened and doting parents would accept his gay status and introduce him to a man he likes. . . . . .This dream used to be like an oxygen bar under the pressure of his dual identities as a comrade and a policeman, but now, the fantasy will never have a chance to come true, and the oxygen bar is gone.

And in the summer of that year, Zhang Jiu broke up with his official first love boyfriend who had lived together for three years. . . . . .At the end of the year, Zhang Jiu was seconded to the border town.

Relatives at home and friends around asked Zhang Jiu why he went to work in a border town in Yunnan. Zhang Jiu answered eloquently and eloquently.First of all, there will be earth-shaking changes in wages, benefits and allowances, and secondly, being seconded for three to five years and then coming back will lose all prospects than being sent out all the time.In addition, almost every family in those border towns has drug dealers, and some of them were shot. Many of them colluded with the local police, so they were seconded from outside. I feel that this job is very exciting, just like a blockbuster movie. . . . . .Zhang Jiu said this repeatedly, the more he said, the more "happy" he felt.

In the dead of night, Zhang Jiu was standing alone on the closed balcony of his home, staring at the night view of the community that he hadn’t seen in a daze, and then remembered that he chose to transfer work because he wanted to be closer to the place where his parents died. He will have a solid sense of belonging, one step closer to death.The feeling was so strong that Zhang Jiu couldn't rationally restrain his yearning for the pleasure of liberation.

As soon as he reported to the border police force, Zhang Jiu saw Yang Dahai, a mature man in his early thirties, and Dui Yang.Yang Dahai is the deputy team, but he directly trains and manages these temporarily transferred police officers.Zhang Jiuchu felt very unnatural when he saw Dui Yang. He knew that he had a bad habit, and he was always nervous about straight men who had feelings.Zhang Jiuzhen was afraid that Dui Yang would think he was indifferent, but he didn't know how to show enthusiasm.

But Team Yang didn't seem to blame Zhang Jiu for his attitude at all, and even looked at Zhang Jiu like warm sunshine, smiled at him, and said: Xiao Zhang is very shy, and he didn't train himself in the police station?

Zhang Jiu was stunned for a moment, so he replied instinctively: I think I have to follow the right person, with Team Yang, I will definitely be able to work out.

Yang Dahai laughed heartily, seeming to appreciate Zhang Jiu's words very much, and said modestly: "The more important thing is our environment here, which is not as good as in the city. It is really hard work, and all characters are brave in the end."

Zhang Jiu replied: I'm not afraid of those, don't worry, I'm not a cowardly person who fears life and fears death.

Dui Yang also seemed to be taken aback, and replied with a smile: I can see it at a glance.But I can't bear to let you work hard.We should do the same thing, and at the same time, ensuring safety is also the first priority. . . .

. . . . . .

Although Team Yang was reluctant to part with "you", his brothers, Zhang Jiu still had a special feeling when he heard it.He feels warm and cared for.

In his dream that night, Zhang Jiu discovered that when he was listening to Yang Dahai's assignment, he actually held Dui Yang's giant root in his hand, playing with two fleshy eggs. . . . . .Zhang Jiu woke up with a start, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly became happy, because it was Yang Dahai in the dream, not his breakup boyfriend Shi Ren.

The daily work of the police force is not what Zhang Jiu had envisioned before. There are blockbuster movies every day, which are often trivial matters.Although it belongs to the anti-drug squadron in the area, the cases are all related to drugs, but they are only investigating and collecting evidence to arrest and interrogate local ordinary people who sell ecstasy or gather people to take drugs. Usually these people have criminal records, have experience in dealing with the police, and are full of nonsense. Stringing up confessions is commonplace, which is exasperating and hateful.In addition to the rampant local drug crimes that opened Zhang Jiu's horizons, but at the same time he lost the interest that he thought was fresh and exciting when he came here.

Only Yang Dahai can refresh Zhang Jiu.

Team Yang has a girlfriend who is said to be as beautiful as a fairy, or an ex-girlfriend who has been talking about marriage for a while.Team Yang’s family is said to be the boss of a certain coal mine in Shanxi Province, with a lot of money, so they plan to build two villas for their wedding, and they are located in the city.

Zhang Jiu felt that he and Yang Dahai were the same people who had fallen into the world.

Zhang Jiu was drinking alone with Yang Dahai that day, and talked about the reason why his girlfriend broke up.Yang Dahai covered his face with wine, staring blankly at a table of food, his face was full of grief and indignation, making Zhang Jiu feel distressed.

"If you want to say that Team Yang needs conditions and good looks, I don't understand. Why do we have to break up?" Zhang Jiu asked.

"Because of this job..." Yang Dahai replied.

"What's wrong with this job?! National civil servants, how can they be worse than people?" Zhang Jiu didn't know whether it was for the captain or for himself.

Yang Dahai didn't speak.

"...I get it, do you feel that there is no guarantee of time in our line of work, and you can't always be with your family?"

Yang Haixiang came back to his senses and replied: "The key is that it is dangerous to do what we do. Women don't like feeling insecure..."

"Then change to another job, and you don't lack this salary allowance..." Zhang Jiu blurted out without thinking.

Yang Dahai looked at Zhang Jiu, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, you have been here for a year, how do you feel?

Zhang Jiu was a little embarrassed, but also smiled: Basically, he got used to it.

"It seems that many people were not used to it before, what aspect?" Yang Dahai asked with a smile on his face.

"I really didn't expect that the work here is more trivial than the police station. I thought we were all big drug lords here, but there were no drug lords here. They were all border residents doing small business..."

"Whoever said that we don't have big drug lords here, just let go of a particularly big case a year ago, and involved six of us..."

Zhang Jiu was dumbfounded.

Yang Dahai said that there used to be a small drug gang controlled by Burmese people on the China-Thailand-Myanmar border, but many Chinese traded with them and even went there to work to earn money.They probably felt that it was too little to make money just by doing drug business, and later they robbed passing trucks by the way.

In a domestic drug trafficking transaction, six Chinese people died, so the police here are determined to eradicate this gang.In the past two years, six police officers were sent undercover, and several times of round-up operations, the drug dealers were killed, injured or arrested, but suddenly the whole gang disappeared, and the six undercover colleagues also lost contact in an instant.

The last news I know here is that there seems to be a serious struggle within the gang. Someone mentioned a man named Meng Kun, and
