seance

Chapter 25

When Wang Mingyuan saw the city lights below, he staggered and almost tripped over the anti-slip mat in the cabin.

The fractured shoulder was seriously inflamed because it hadn't been treated for a long time, and the military doctor rushed to treat it hastily before the return trip.He was supposed to rest for two more days, but he was so impatient that he squeezed onto the aircraft for the return journey.

Everyone registered their fingerprint information in the hall and received condolences.The flurry of volunteers scrambled to hang the box on his uninjured arm, which made him embarrassed to say no.

"Thank you for coming back." A girl the same age as his fiancée smiled at him holding a bunch of boxes.

Wang Mingyuan was a little shocked to think of the flames of war and blood, and the peaceful face in front of him made him burst into tears uncontrollably.

His fiancée and mother were still waiting for him at home. After completing the formalities, he almost rushed home in panic, fearing that this opportunity to meet was not real and would be taken away by someone in the next second.

The fiancée was waiting at the door of the house holding the letter he sent. The letter paper had several dark marks due to repeated folding.The two hadn't touched each other yet, and the moment their eyes met, tears were streaming down their faces.Wang Mingyuan hugged his fiancée tightly, trying to squeeze a little smile out of his tears.He should have been ecstatic and relieved, but in fact the wounds and screams lingering in his mind are always reminding him that there are many people who will never be able to enjoy the joy of being together and hug the people they love because of him.After all, it wasn't his fault, but it wasn't the other party's fault either.

Is he qualified to enjoy the following happy life with a clear conscience?

He suddenly felt a little strange, and asked her, "Where did Mom go?"

"They went to meet the general."

"they?"

"Let's go." The fiancee wiped away her tears and pulled him to the other end of the street.Wang Mingyuan vaguely thought that indeed, today should be the day of the press conference, and someone must put an end to this battle.

He came outside the almost crowded venue and watched the vehicles slowly approaching. The roadsides were almost full of middle-aged mothers, and occasionally there were a few soldiers like him.Wang Mingyuan saw Sun Li nearby. He was still on a single crutch, and a girl beside him was supporting him.Wang Mingyuan looked at the familiar face and thought for a long time before he remembered that this was the nurse who took care of Sun Li.There was a conspicuous pendant hanging around the girl's neck, and Wang Mingyuan saw a dried cold bell flower hanging in the center of the transparent pendant.

But the general stopped when he saw the crowds on both sides of the road, and everyone held their breath the moment they got out of the car.I don't know what's wrong, the general has only the word "worried" written all over his body, but his face still has a resolute expression that hasn't changed for thousands of years.Even though he is about to reach the end of his official career, he is still completing his last journey seriously.

A woman came out of the ranks suddenly, Wang Mingyuan was startled, and subconsciously wanted to go up to stop her, but she had already walked in front of the general, holding a box in her hand.

"It's okay." The fiancee tugged at him.

The general seemed a little confused, and looked at him with guilt.

"General Wen," she trembled, and opened the box solemnly, "Thank you for sacrificing your honor to save our child."

The General seemed to be looking at her in disbelief, then at the contents of the box.He picked it up slowly, and Wang Mingyuan saw clearly that it was an ordinary glass decoration, but it was filled with small chips, which would glow when the switch was turned on.It is a very popular lighting decoration, and people often propose in the shape of a heart.

"Every dot of light inside is a soldier you saved," she handed him the box, "and they will remember you forever."

The general took the box slowly and bowed deeply to the other party. When he raised his head, Wang Mingyuan was surprised to find that the general who always ruled the army with dignity was crying.

"Sorry," the general clasped his hand on the box, his voice trembling, "Sorry."

In the following press conference, the leader made a speech normally, expressing condolences and remembrance to the soldiers who died in the battle, and at the same time thanking the remaining soldiers for their contributions to the country and the nation.

Wen Shao said that his strategic mistakes led to the failure of the battle. After apologizing to the people and soldiers, he resigned and removed the medal of the chief general.It's just that when he was about to step down, the leader rarely pulled this thorn in his side, and shook his hand gently: "Thank you for everything you have done for this battle."

Wen Shao looked at the old fox who would never pass the military budget, and shook his hand: "The leader is serious, I am a soldier, and this is my duty."

"Believe it or not," the leader withdrew his hand, "I have never admired you more than I do now."

"I'm flattered," Wen Shao heard the other party's compliments so rarely, he didn't know how to respond for a while, "I wish you can be re-elected."

The leader glanced at him, took the lead and began to applaud. The former subordinates with military ranks stood up and gave a final military salute.Wen Shao knew it was time to leave, he bowed to the direction of the camera again, wondering if Luo Chen was looking at the terminal at this time, but he quickly dismissed the idea and walked off the stage.

He left the venue, thinking that he should go back to his and Luo Chen's residence to get the things back, but hesitated for a while, and decided not to see each other again.

How should I live in the future?

He suddenly remembered that Luochen had asked him to write a memoir for research. Although the memoir was really too shameful, maybe he needed some research materials from the human world.In that case, he went to the slums to investigate for him.

When Wen Shao was young, he often lingered in wild villages and shops, and he had to always be on guard against the killer behind him.Although he lived a peaceful life after being rescued by his master, most of the memories of his youth are still cold and hungry.Many years later, Wen Shao came back to recall bitterness and sweetness, and Wen Shao almost felt that the middle part was just a dream.It's just that there were no such steel ruins back then, nor were there dark rivers and suffocating air.

After getting up in the morning and exercising, I exchanged life experiences with some homeless people, then searched for food with them, and came back at night to write records.No military entanglement, no official disputes, such a strange and peaceful life for a while, Wen Shao still encountered a crisis.

His Royal Highness and his charitable organization are coming here for a visit.

When Wen Shao saw this news on the terminal, he almost fell off his chair.He didn't expect to meet like this in this situation. It is reasonable for His Royal Highness to come to such a place, but Luo Chen in the news recently seems to have changed his style from before. Some surprises and official headlines.

Wen Shao held his breath and turned off the screen, only seeing one side, just seeing one side from a distance.
