Recapture

On September [-], the weather suddenly turned cloudy.When I went out for morning exercises, it was still cloudless outside. The old men and aunts outside the community were all doing their jobs. They were swinging their arms and swinging their arms in circles. They practiced martial arts and Tai Chi, starting at five o'clock in the morning. Then around eight o'clock, the flower work was collected.

Si Peinan had a rest on Thursday, so he finally went down and ran around the residential building twice. Seeing that the sky was getting cloudy, he bought a bowl of noodles with fried sauce at the gate of the community. It started to fall.By the time he was about to stand firmly in the corridor, the rain had already started pouring down, and he breathed a sigh of relief looking at his not-so-wet clothes.

Before he could relax, a faint female voice broke into Si Peinan's ears again: "Uncle, why hasn't that Uncle Xiong been with you recently?"

It sounded like a horror movie at first, but when Si Peinan heard the sound clearly, the goosebumps on his arm disappeared in an instant. Looking back, it was Nuonuo who was carrying a schoolbag and was going to kindergarten.

"Did he see you last time when he went to buy breakfast?" Si Peinan knelt down, wiped his face with his hands, tried to wipe off some water, and looked at her gently.Of course he also knew that the Kumamon bear doll was pretended by Captain Huo Si at the beginning.

The girl's eyes were bright, and there were two shallow dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, she was much more lively than when she first met, she nodded her head and said "Yeah!", "Uncle also said that he will play with me next time. " After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Si Peinan would not understand, so he deliberately added another sentence: "Pretend as a bear."

"Hahahaha." Si Peinan couldn't help laughing, and scratched the bridge of Nono's nose with his dried index finger: "Then wait for him to take you to play next time he has a chance, okay?"

"Okay." Nuonuo smiled lightly.

After a while, Nuonuo's mother went downstairs, and when she came down, Si Peinan went up. It seemed that Nuonuo went downstairs in advance to wait for her mother.

Si Peinan watched the two people's backs walk into the rain curtain, and then he lifted his feet up the stairs.

He didn't bring his mobile phone with him when he went out for morning exercise, and he almost drenched in water when he came back, with a bowl of steaming fried noodles in his hand.Si Peinan never treated himself badly, and warmed himself a cup of hot milk. As soon as the milk was taken out of the microwave, the phone rang, and Si Peinan was in a hurry to get the phone.

There are two big words "Si Bei" on it, Si Peinan sighed visibly, and then glanced at the wall clock, it was only 07:30 in the morning.But thinking about it carefully, it should be time for Si Bei to go to work.

Sure enough, as soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Si Bei's footsteps hurrying down the stairs, and even his voice was a little noisy. He raised his voice and asked into the phone, "Are you coming back today? My mother said you are coming back today." Come back, come back and be with our mother as soon as possible!"

Like a cannonball, Si Peinan had no power to parry, so he could only take his breath and insert a sentence: "I'm back!"

With Si Peinan's permission, Si Bei picked up the jacket on the sofa and waved at his mother without hesitation: "Peinan said he would come back to accompany you today, I'm going to work first, and I won't be back for two days I'm home, I'm on a short errand."

Chen Xiangjun is used to Si Bei going on a business trip for several days, and directs the driver at home to put the suitcases she packed into the trunk in an orderly manner. He feels a little lonely watching the car drive Si Bei away, but not too much. Much, she has long been used to parting.

But looking at the sky that suddenly began to rain heavily, his eyebrows were still slightly frowned, the sky was still a bit muggy, and the rain was falling down the eaves, from pattering to splashing, thinking of Si Bei saying that Si Peinan was coming back today, The footsteps towards the sofa in the living room stopped suddenly and turned to the kitchen.

----

Yesterday, I drove the car back from the procuratorate. There was a magazine on the low table with Si Peinan's keys. Now he has changed his clothes and cleaned himself up.He looked out of the window through the balcony. It was still raining now, but it was much less than an hour ago.

When I looked back, I was caught off guard and fell on the clothes rail on the balcony. There was still a suit hanging there, no coat, just a blue shirt and trousers with dark patterns.It was one size too big, and it had been hanging there for more than ten days and half a month. It was changed here last time Captain Hoss stayed overnight.

Later, he didn't take it away, but washed it in the washing machine together with his clothes. He didn't expect that, and only after returning home did he find that there were two more clothes on the clothes rail.

Thinking of Captain Huo Si, Si Peinan went straight to grab the phone.Since the two got back together for so many days, he has basically figured out the daily habits of Captain Huosi. Except for the days when he had to go to the Justice Bureau early, he would sleep at home with his head covered and had no sense of leadership. , like today.

"Go home, I don't look at my phone, it's early." So there was another message under the "good night" from Captain Huo Si. After sending it, Si Peinan put his phone in his pocket, thinking about it I think I still took a coat, in case it gets cold?After all, the hottest days have passed, and the weather is unpredictable.

On the other side of the Zhengde Garden, the rain fell slightly less than the procuratorate's side. By the time Si Peinan's car stopped in front of the house, the rain had turned into a patter, not the pouring before.

As soon as the car was turned off, the family members came out to greet him. Chen Xiangjun was wearing a blue cheongsam, and his hands were still covered with some white face dust, which he hadn't wiped off at all.

Before Si Peinan entered the door, he heard Chen Xiangjun happily calling out on the path in the middle of the garden: "Son!"

Sure enough, it was Si Bei's own mother, and the two spoke in exactly the same way, preemptively striking.With a smile on his face, Si Peinan walked over quickly and handed her a gift box: "This is a southern snack, and it tastes pretty good. My friend brought me several boxes, so I'll bring you a box."

"Why did you bring me something when you got home?" Chen Xiangjun blamed, but he had already brought the snack box over in his hand. The flour dust left on his fingertips stained the red rope and turned it white. Si Peinan paid attention When he arrived, he wiped Chen Xiangjun's hands: "Where did you get the white powder, haven't you wiped your hands clean?"

It was only then that Chen Xiangjun suddenly remembered that he still had some snacks in the kitchen, and hurriedly left Si Peinan and went into the kitchen again.

Si Peinan looked at his mother's back helplessly and laughed for a while. After tidying up his things, he poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the sofa slowly.

Chen Xiangjun is like this, he looks gentle and virtuous, but actually he is a bit negligent in doing things and often forgets things.

Si Peinan knew his mother very well, so he sat on the sofa and sipped tea, the best tea after the rain. Sifu's former subordinate opened a tea factory on the mountain after retirement, and gave Sifu the earliest tea every year. A new batch of tea, just pinched when there is dew hanging on the buds, tastes the freshest and sweetest.

His judgment was indeed right. Chen Xiangjun came out of the kitchen half an hour later, holding a long rectangular aluminum box in his hand, with several layers of thin paper on it to put freshly baked snacks in rows. Si Peinan glanced at it and said nothing, as if he was about to give a gift.

"Nannan, come." Chen Xiangjun waved to Si Peinan after finishing the decoration, with a smile on his face.

Si Peinan rubbed his nose, put down the teacup in his hand, and was not sure what his mother was going to do, didn't he just bring her a box of snacks, and bring him another one?Si Peinan shook his head, feeling a little melancholy, the snacks that Captain Huo Si brought every now and then were enough for him to eat.

"What's the matter, Mom?" Si Peinan glanced sideways, and had to silently admire in his heart, his mother's craftsmanship can catch up with the decoration master of Tengwei Pavilion.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiangjun smiled gently, slowly closed the aluminum box lid, then handed it to Si Peinan, and smiled at him: "Give it to Grandpa Huo from the north, the road next to us will go straight ahead Let’s go, the one at the head of the northernmost is.”

"Ah?" Si Peinan was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er for a while, and dared to believe that this snack was not for him.Si Peinan pressed his temple uncomfortably, and belatedly asked: "How did I hear about this Grandpa Huo before?"

Chen Xiangjun glared at him: "If you want you to go, you can go, and the pastry just baked will be ready after delivery." He pushed him out of the house while talking and laughing.

Si Peinan went out with the gift box helplessly.

The north-south span is extremely wide, and Si Peinan also knew it, so when he went out, he eliminated the bicycle in the garage at a glance, and drove his own car out.

Chen Xiangjun was thinking about other snacks that hadn't been baked yet, watched Si Peinan go to his garage, turned around and went back to the kitchen.Si Peinan skillfully backed the car out of the garage, turned a corner, and got on the "North-South Avenue" that runs through Zhengde Garden.

I don't know which project was developed by the government, and I don't know who the specific developer is.In short, the greening of Zhengde Garden has always been done very well, but both sides of the North-South Avenue are all planted with sycamores, which look very beautiful. Even if a car is driving, you will not feel lonely. Perhaps it is because of the various small villas. It may also be because of the allusion that Chiang Kai-shek planted French plane trees in Nanjing because of Song Meiling's love for plane trees.

Because the plane tree is also known as the French plane tree, every time Si Peinan sees the plane tree on the road next to his home, he always feels very warm.

There are few cars on this road, so Si Peinan drove very fast, but it took about 10 minutes to arrive.You can vaguely see the sentry box in front of you and the guards standing on guard. If your gaze is scattered a little further to the right, it is a gray-white villa under the shade of plane trees and grape vines.Several shelves were set up in the garden in front of the villa, and grape vines were growing wantonly. In the middle part, a half-person-high stone table was erected, on which was a well-drawn chess board.

On both sides of the black-gray non-slip stone slab leading to the villa are seasonal fruits and vegetables and Rosaceae flowers, which are very elegant and have a pyrotechnic atmosphere, and you can also see the style of the owner.When Si Peinan got off the car, he happened to see the owner, and he smiled kindly, a kind of compassion after all the vicissitudes.Wearing a tunic suit, it was still the original design style, and the radio on the chair next to him played a Qi school "Chasing Han Xin". The old man played chess with himself. Coincidentally, two guards behind him Si Peinan happened to know a member of the staff.

At the very beginning, I thought it was the house of Captain Hoth, but now I saw Zhao Kuo standing behind the old man and realized that this is really the home of Captain Hoth. The old man sitting with a kind smile should be the one that Captain Hoth often mentioned. Grandpa Huo.

When Si Peinan first saw the old man, he was still taken aback.He originally thought that even if the old general was old, he would carry the chill of gold and iron horses, but he didn't expect it to be no different from the old people who practiced Tai Chi on weekdays.

"Hey, whose child has time to come and see me, a lonely old man?" The old man noticed a young man standing on the doorway of his house at the moment when Si Peinan was stunned, and now he stood up from behind the chessboard , holding a cane in one hand, and being supported behind him by another guard that Si Peinan didn't know well.

Si Peinan smiled, and before Mr. Huo came out to welcome him, he walked in with big strides. He was afraid that the old man would fall because of the slippery road.Xu Xu helped the old man who started to walk forward, Si Peinan then handed over the food box in his hand, he said with a smile: "This is a biscuit made by my mother, it is very soft, just let me give it to you when it is finished. You bring some, and you beat the teeth."

Mr. Huo showed a clear and gratified smile on his face, and he pulled Si Peinan to sit down. At this time, Zhao Kuo also came over with a steaming teacup, and placed it on the chessboard in front of Si Peinan. Pei Nan glanced at him, and Si Peinan nodded and smiled at him.

"Let me guess, are you Si Bei's younger brother, that little Peinan?" The old man smiled, put his hand on the back of Si Peinan's, and was supported by him to sit down. Si Peinan was sitting next to him .However, people who are 27 and almost 28 are still a little embarrassed to be called "Xiao Peinan" by the old man, but Si Peinan still nodded in recognition.

"Lieutenant Si mentioned you to me." The old man changed the subject, probably because he thought of Captain Huo Si after seeing Si Peinan. Although the old man was already an octogenarian, his voice was still clear and orderly, and his spirit was hale and hearty. He said again "When Captain Si came back a few times ago, I mentioned your parents to him, and he knew that the two lived in the same garden, but it was probably fate, he often mentioned you to me." The old man smiled.

Si Peinan's heart skipped a beat, there was always a secret embarrassment, if Grandpa Huo knew the relationship between Captain Huo Si and him, he didn't know what kind of situation it would be.He pretended to be calm, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Wei Si mentioned me to you? What did he say about me?"

The old man smiled suddenly, Si Peinan straightened his back, the old man raised his hand to the back again, another guard understood, and switched off the radio that was singing "My Xiao Hewen's words are booming", and everyone around It was quiet for an instant, and a few birdsong could be heard vaguely.

Only then did the old man speak, with only eight words: "Ning Ming died, and he lived without silence." With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Si Peinan with great admiration, and seemed to see many people through Si Peinan, Huo The old man turned to pat him on the shoulder: "You and your brother Si Bei are both very good young people." He took a sip of tea and continued: "Wei Si said that even if the case in your hands is wrong, , you can also set things right and get a lawyer for a desperate victim, he told me that too."

Si Peinan's eyebrows twitched, wondering when Captain Huo Si would find out everything about him in City B.There was a huge wave in his heart, but now he had to calmly laugh with the old man. He bowed his head humbly: "Serving the people is what we should."

The old man looked relieved, but turned his head and sighed heavily.

Si Peinan looked up at the old man, but he was still kind and compassionate.

While talking, probably because the old man felt too bored or for some other reason, he offered to take him to visit the house, and also to see the room where Captain Huo Si lived.

Surprise flashed across Si Peinan's eyes, and he wondered in his heart, how much Captain Huo Si had explained to the old man about his "friendship", he couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow silently.

The living room is large, the windows are bright and clean, and you can occasionally encounter a few pots of flowers and plants as far as the eye can see. On the stairs leading to the second floor, there are two paintings that are exactly the same as Weijin Lake, and the one here is obviously bigger.

"A gentleman is cautious about independence, humbles himself to shepherd himself; respects the old and the young, and keeps his sleeves cool." The old man and Si Peinan stood at the stairs together, looked up at the two calligraphy and paintings, and introduced to him: "This is Huo The family motto is also the family rules." Si Peinan nodded, as early as five years ago, these sixteen words would come to mind every time he went downstairs, I have to say, he had engraved these sixteen words in his heart long ago, even as your bottom line.

"Ouch—" Mr. Huo let out a long sigh, and Si Peinan turned his head nervously to look at Mr. Huo, fearing that he might make a mistake.Unexpectedly, the old man just waved his hand, took the crutch in his hand and nodded to the room in the middle of the second floor, "I'm an old bone, so I won't go up, you can go and see for yourself." Handed a small key to Si Peinan's palm, it was taken out from his pocket, and it was still warm, which showed the old man's concern for Captain Huo Si.

Before Si Peinan could refuse, the old man said again: "Junzhu, let's listen to "Dingjun Mountain" again."

Si Peinan had heard of this name before, so he looked sideways and saw that it was the strange guard. Si Peinan knew part of the rumors about him and Captain Huo Si's attitude towards him. I think he is the right candidate to be rumored, a young talent, neither humble nor overbearing.

Si Peinan withdrew his gaze and went upstairs.Huo Siwei's own room is exactly the same as that of Weijin Lake, so it is easy to find.When the three-dimensional round tip was inserted into the keyhole, Si Peinan was still a little nervous. He didn't know why he was nervous. Could it be that a Captain Huo Si suddenly appeared inside?

This is of course impossible, Captain Huo Si is sleeping at home with his head covered and humming.

As soon as he opened the door, Si Peinan thought in a trance that he had returned to Weijin Lake's villa.One table, one chair, one cabinet, one cabinet, even the floor-to-ceiling windows and curtains are exactly the same.Standing in the entrance with his hands on the doorknob, Si Peinan was a little at a loss, because besides Captain Huo Si and himself, Si Peinan had these memories.

He suddenly remembered a passage, which he consulted about a hysteria patient before: "Patients show involuntary and intermittent loss of part or all of the ability to integrate psychological-physiological functions. Aspects such as identity) awareness and environmental awareness cannot be unified, and the so-called state of separation.”

So all his arrangements are exactly the same, the only difference is——

It was Si Peinan who walked to the bedside table, picked up the yellowed photo, and even the corners were curled up, exposing the white backing paper inside.Si Peinan recognized it, it was the first New Year he spent with Captain Huo Si... and it was also the last New Year he thought, the big snow in City B was like catkins due to the wind, and he met Yi Mengzhi in the back garden A big snowman, this is the photo Lieutenant Howth took of him.

With a bright smile, he had just returned from London that year, when the ferry was hijacked and he himself was kidnapped, and then when he met Captain Hoss, Si Peinan couldn't help but smile, his eyes were slightly astringent, and he suddenly remembered that he still owed Captain Hoss 20 .

In fact, there is nothing to see in the room, because Huo Siwei lived in the family compound like him when he was a child, and the place where he lives now has long since lost the traces of his previous childhood.

In an instant, he also gradually overlapped with the state of mind of Captain Huo Si who knew he lived in the same place, but the two people at the same time had the same state of mind in the same place, shocking, shocking and an indescribable surprise.

Destiny is indeed a thread, entwining Si Peinan and Captain Huo Si at both ends. After going around and around, I will teach you that in the original long years, they almost overlapped by half, even though they didn't know each other at that time.

Si Peinan took the photo away and gently closed the door.

When bidding farewell to the old man, the old man still smiled kindly, holding Si Peinan's hand and smiling, and what he said seemed to be admiration, praise and entrustment, and he said: "We, Captain Si, were not a very good person before. He's responsible for more than half of my son's temper, but the current Captain Si has indeed solidified the family precepts in his heart." He patted Si Peinan's hand.

Si Peinan's feeling of "entrustment" to himself was a little absurd.He nodded and said goodbye to Mr. Huo: "I know he is good, take care of yourself."

At the same time, Si Peinan's cell phone vibrated lightly against his thin pants, Si Peinan understood, and Captain Huo Si woke up.

The author says:

In fact, the two parts are actually merged together. I like the latter part very much.

I don't know if you can understand that they are the emotional changes after reunion

Although Si Peinan didn't say it clearly, and I didn't write it clearly, the two of them were officially together after Captain Huo Si came back. Now it's equivalent to the stage of love.

There are about two or three parts to finish.

Cutting out an unnecessary part, the feeling that it is about to end is really a bit reluctant... Hahaha I feel a little sore
