Qinghong

We drove all the way north, stopped in Karamay for one night, drove for another four hours, and finally entered the border of Altay.

The mobile phone network signal sometimes does not work, so we simply bought a paper map, like an old-school traveler, holding the map to judge the direction and forks.The map is far less convenient and considerate than the navigation. I sat in the co-pilot command, and Ning Hong took the steering wheel. Sometimes we got off at the wrong fork, and we had to go through the toll booth and turn around. I was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I... ..."

"It's okay, it's not your problem." Ning Hong said, "You have the patience to figure out the dense lines on the map. If it were me, I would have torn it up."

I laughed: "Captain Xiao Ning, you have such a sweet mouth, you must attract girls."

"Don't you like me?" Ning Hong said, pretending to be disappointed, "You beat me up other than scolding me, so you definitely don't like me."

"...Hey, why do you sue the villain first." I actually liked him quite a bit, and when I suddenly realized this bizarre idea, my head was in a daze, and the guilt and guilt that rose more and more broke through the embankment I had built so high. pouring down.

I clenched my fists and tried to suppress the turbulent emotions. Ning Qing left in March, and now in July, in just four months, I actually have a crush on his younger brother?

Ask yourself, Zou Lansheng, do you want to be the second Zou Haiyang?

I turned my head to look at the passing scenery outside the car window, the same vastness and emptiness, boundless, but my mood was not as relaxed and comfortable as when I first left Urumqi.

When it comes to getting girls to like me, I think of Ning Qing's brave act.

It was an evening, I just got off work, Ning Qing was waiting for me at the door of the office with a bag of donkey meat: "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit," I said.

Ning Qing said: "I bought six fires, let's go for a walk by the Haihe River and eat while walking."

"Okay." I agreed, he came back from a mission for half a month, no matter what to eat, I was very happy to be able to eat together.

The campus is not far from the Haihe River. We walked through three intersections and walked down the stairs to the river.The sun was setting, the river was sparkling, and the golden red afterglow reflected on the water was magnificent, so we found a wooden chair to sit down.

Ning Qing picked up a Huo Shao with a paper towel and handed it to me, saying, "You don't know how much I want to eat Huo Shao outside, and I can't sleep because of it."

"Then you eat more." I took the fire and took a bite. The crispy crust, fresh minced donkey meat and juicy green peppers mixed into a wonderful taste in my mouth, "I'm not too hungry, lunch Eat late."

"Yeah." Ning Qing ate the fire one bite at a time, looking ahead, as if admiring the sparkling river water.

The sun was sinking slowly, and the rays of the sun were half covered, and the street lamps on both sides of the river were lit up one by one, and the Bei'an Bridge not far away was decorated gorgeously with golden light strips.

The Haihe River passes through the central city of Tianjin. The Western-style buildings on both sides of the river were once the concessions, which are particularly distinctive.After I finished two fires, Ning Qing was already eating the fourth one. He ate fast, like a wolf protecting food.

I only heard a scream from the Bei'an Bridge: "Someone jumped into the river!"

Before I could react, Ning Qing looked up at the river, and a black figure near Bei'an Bridge fell straight into the river. He said, "You wait for me here." Throwing the bag into my hand, I jumped into the river with a stride, struggling to go downstream towards the bridge.

I saw him without any hesitation, his heart stopped beating for a moment, his hands and feet were cold, and he watched Ning Qing swim to the center of the river in a daze, and grabbed the figure and swam towards the river.

The time flow in my eyes was extremely slow, and the picture slipped by frame by frame, until Ning Qing was drenched and went ashore smoothly, I heard the sound of cheers and the sound of my heart beating violently and pumping blood in a trance.

Ning Qing had received professional first aid training. He folded his hands and pressed the victim's chest to perform CPR. He did a few back and forth with force. The person lying on the ground coughed and spit out the clear water that had been inhaled into his lungs.The onlookers applauded, I frowned and looked at Ning Qing, he smiled at me without any burden, with strands of hair sticking to his forehead, his smile was embarrassing and handsome.

What a fool.

"What are you thinking?" Ning Hong asked.

"If someone jumped into the river, would you save him?" I asked.

"No." Ning Hong said, "First of all, my swimming skills are not that good. Wouldn't it be a shame that I was dragged to death if I was not rescued? Second, why should I save a person who committed suicide?"

I nodded: "Oh."

"What about you?" Ning Hong asked, "Will you save me?"

"He didn't jump, I will persuade him." I said, "He jumped, I can't help him."

I admire Ning Qing's courage and courage in saving people, but I don't agree with him putting himself in such a light position that any stranger can be rescued by him.I understand him, he is a policeman, and the particularity of his profession determines that he must do this.

But I don't like it.

Maybe my complexion is really not very good, Ning Qing put away her smile, stood up and walked to me with her head down, stretched out her hand and whispered: "There is a trash can in front, I will go and throw away the plastic bags."

Realizing that I was still clutching the plastic bag he hastily threw to me to hold the donkey meat on fire, I silently avoided his hand and walked towards the trash can.He didn't dare to follow me, and stood there with his shoulders shrunk, like a discarded quail.

Throwing away the plastic bag, I turned around and walked back to Ning Qing.A fair and thin girl handed Ning Qing a towel and praised: "You are amazing."

"Thank you, no need." Ning Qing waved his hand, "My friend has paper, I'll just use his."

I took out a pack of napkins and opened one: "Here."

Ning Qing picked up the paper and wiped her hands and face, and asked cautiously, "Can I go to your house to change?"

"Yeah." I responded briefly, and handed him the phone, "I'll call a car."

"Can I add you on WeChat?" the girl asked.

Ning Qing glanced at me and said, "My...has a girlfriend."

"Oh... sorry." The girl blushed slightly, put away the towel and turned away.

I hailed a taxi and asked puzzledly, "Where did you get your girlfriend?"

"It's made up." Ning Qing said, "She's not my type." He quickly fooled the topic, raised his eyebrows, and there was a nervous test on the brows, "Are you not angry?"

"Who's angry." I said.

Ning Qing said seriously: "Scare me, I thought you were angry and ignored me."

If it was Ning Hong, I looked at the person sitting in the driver's seat, Ning Hong felt my gaze, and quickly turned his head to flatter me and said, "Teacher, who do you miss? My brother?"

It was eerily perceptive, and I nodded, "Well, he saved a man who jumped into a river."

"He saved too many people, which one are you referring to?" Ning Hong asked, his voice was flat, no emotion could be heard.

"Jump the one on Bei'an Bridge." I said.

"Oh, I remembered." Ning Hong said, "My brother said you were angry for a week."

"What?" I stared at him blankly, "I'm not angry."

Ning Hong shrugged: "I don't know how you get along."

During the conversation, the vehicle turned into the parking lot next to the scenic spot. We got off the car and dragged our luggage into the shuttle bus and drove into the Kanas scenic spot.The dense dark green of the dense coniferous forests on both sides of the road seems to have been painted with a layer of paint. The tour guide on the car introduced: "The front is the Camel Neck Bay, which is the water inlet of Kanas Lake..."

I looked out the car window, the coniferous forest stopped abruptly, and the blue waters composed of shallow meadows and virgin forests came into view.Ning Hong stretched his neck and leaned against my shoulder, and said vaguely, "It's so beautiful."

"Yeah." I sighed.

The shuttle bus found a viewing platform and stopped, the door opened, tourists got off the bus one after another, took pictures or took a walk, and Ning Hong and I were no exception, walking slowly along the river bank.

Surrounded by forests, it is very cool, and the height of the meadow is just below the soles of my shoes. I stepped on it back and forth, and it was soft, like stepping on a fine blanket.

Ning Hong looked into the distance and said, "It's such a good place."

"Well, I've wanted to come for a long time, but I never had a chance." I said, but it was actually Ning Qing who wanted to come. I swallowed the truth and chose a more gentle statement.

Ning Hong withdrew his gaze, landed on me, reached out and quickly grabbed my wrist.

"What?" I looked at him.

"Cold." Ning Hong said, he leaned over and stood together with me, shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, "Teacher Zou, why are you so nice to me?"

"Why do you say this?" I asked, "Is it because I didn't hit you today?"

"Yes, itchy skin." Ning Hong said with a smile.

"Just pretend I'm in a good mood," I said.

"Then let me pretend that you like me today." Ning Hong said, looking at the rushing river, "The scenery is so beautiful, and you like me too. I am so happy today."

"Why are you so..." I choked, "Forget it, whatever you want."

Ning Hong became happy, and his spirit was visible to the naked eye. He put his arms around my shoulders and said, "Kiss me once, and I will be the happiest person in Kanas."

"Don't overdo it." I pushed away his hand and took a step to the right to move away from him.

Ning Hong curled his lips, stood where he was, and didn't pester me any more.

Zou Lansheng's condition is not right, he looks preoccupied.

Ning Hong quietly looked at Zou Lansheng, evaluating in his heart, most likely he was thinking about his brother.

Even with his eyes closed, he could guess why Zou Lansheng was willing to come to Kanas, and most importantly, it was Ning Qing's proposal to come to Kanas with him.Zou Lansheng is like a widowed swan, expressing his grief by realizing what Ning Qing said.

Ning Hong knew what he knew, and it was limited to what he knew. He stayed by Zou Lansheng's side, distracting Zou Lansheng with gags.Zou Lansheng indulged him more and more, and Ning Hong was delighted to think that he had glimpsed a small path into Zou Lansheng's heart. He tried to move forward, bumped into a wall, moved forward, bumped into a wall again, and one day, Zou Lansheng would let him into his heart.

Ning Hong has plenty of time and patience to spend with Zou Lan. He is not Ning Qing, nor can he become Ning Qing.

Ning Qing can save anyone, but Ning Hong only cares about his own happiness.

But now, Zou Lansheng is happy, and Ning Hong is happy.
