After adopting paranoid gods

Moonlight accompanied by dim yellow lights shrouded the half-person-high shadow puppet theater.

The black shadow puppets moved slowly through the white cloth. They were as flexible as a living person, and could make various movements in line with their own shapes.

Individuals and different actions compile a story.

Ji Tang froze in place, staring at the small shadow puppet theater for a long time.

The person who agreed to give the accompaniment or soundtrack back then may have died long ago.Only the silent shadow puppets are left to interpret the story seriously.

Years of chaotic wars seem to be condensed into a quiet time by the silently shaking shadow puppets at this moment.

Ji Tang quietly enjoyed the shadow play.

This shadow puppetry probably tells the story of a soldier who has been fighting abroad for many years and has gone through countless twists and turns before finally returning home.

Ji Tang saw half of it, and suddenly saw a person coming beside him.

He turned his head, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The old man who was supposed to be in the nursing home came to Ji Tang at some time. He was sitting on the rocking chair, shaking the cattail fan, watching the shadow puppet show in front of him with a smile, his face full of wind and frost was full of calm.

"Grandpa Fu Jianguo...?" Ji Tang called out, but the other party didn't hear him, and continued to shake the cattail fan.Ji Tang wanted to reach out and touch each other.But it was found that the other party was translucent and could not be touched at all.

Ji Tang's cell phone vibrated in his pocket suddenly, he picked it up and saw that it was the nurse from the nursing home.

Because Ji Tang wanted to visit the nursing home in the future, the dean simply asked him to leave a phone call, and invited Ji Tang to come to play if there were any activities.

The dean's voice sounded on the phone, very flat and a bit bitter.

"Fu Jianguo is gone."

"Leaving?" Ji Tang's hand holding the phone trembled.

Dean: "Well, when the nurse went to his room to deliver the medicine, he was surprised to find that he was not breathing. We were not too surprised. The hospital had confirmed that he would not live for a week, so he was sent home to rest. I just didn't expect that he would walk away. So fast."

Ji Tang sideways glanced at the soul of the old man beside him.

The old man sat in the moonlight and street lamps, like a faint light that would dissipate at any moment.His already cloudy eyes stared quietly at the swaying shadow puppet show, as if after several years of vigorous time, he finally saw what he expected.

The old man shook his cattail fan and hummed an ancient ditty softly in an opera accent.

"Yang Yue Nan Flying Geese."

"The rumors so far..."

The opera tone has the unique retro feeling of the old man, which sounds endlessly evocative.

Ji Tang seemed to understand something.

When the battle is over, go home.

Fu Linshan plays shadow puppetry.

And Fu Jianguo made the soundtrack for the shadow play.

Let's show it to their families together.

No one can be less.

"I've done my best..."

"When will I return..."

A ditty came, and the shadow puppet show was over.

The soldiers in the play have gone through thousands of twists and turns and finally returned home.

People outside the play also went home.

Fu Jianguo's body became more and more transparent.Finally, he raised his head slightly and saw Fu Linshan behind the curtain of the shadow play.

The man stood under the street lamp, his figure was still handsome and tall, and countless blood could no longer bring him the growth of years.He raised his eyes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of his younger brother sitting not far from him.

The old man also saw Fu Linshan.

The gazes of the two people, passing through the ground shimmering with moonlight, finally converged.

The light shrouded the old man, getting brighter and brighter, brighter than any artillery fire in the war at that time.

The old man opened his mouth and said the word that he hadn't had the chance to say in 66 years.

"elder brother."

As soon as the words fell, the old man's body became completely transparent, and finally turned into white light, drifting away towards the starry sky like flying snow.

Fu Jianguo left.

The dean's voice came from Ji Tang's mobile phone: "Mr. Ji Tang, are you listening?"

Ji Tang: "I'm listening."

"The pot of longevity flowers you gave to the old man, we will take care of it for you, remember to come and play often in the future. Fu Jianguo is gone, and there are only six old people left here, all veterans."

"En." Ji Tang stood under the street lamp, with one hand in his pocket, letting the light cast a halo on himself.

He raised the corners of his lips, with a soft smile in his eyes.

"However, what you said is wrong. Grandpa Fu Jianguo did not leave."

"He just went home, went home to watch a shadow puppet show."

"..." The dean didn't quite understand what Ji Tang meant, so he didn't say anything, but said goodbye to Ji Tang, and hung up the phone.

Ji Tang put down her phone and ran towards Fu Linshan not far away.

For this shadow play, Fu Linshan specially changed into the military uniform in the box.

The man looked very good in military uniform, the tight fabric wrapped his body meticulously, and the brim of the hat cast a shadow in his deep eyes, making it impossible to see the emotion in his eyes.

Ji Tang took a look at him and praised: "The shadow play you made is very beautiful."

While packing up the scattered shadow puppet props and putting them into the big box, the man didn't answer Ji Tang's words.Even though he changed into a military uniform, that cold demeanor remained unchanged.

Ji Tang helped to pick up the suitcase, and then continued to look for the hotel.

The man followed behind Ji Tang, he suddenly leaned over gently, and whispered to Ji Tang, "Thank you."

The cold breath sprayed behind Ji Tang's ears, completely staining her fair skin red.Ji Tang blushed and wanted to push him away, but the man suddenly took his hand.

Fu Linshan's hands are very strong, and the palms of his palms are calloused from using a gun for a long time, which makes Ji Tang's hands a little itchy.

Fu Linshan murmured in a low voice: "I thought time didn't pass so fast. I thought that when I came out, I could still see my comrades in arms and everything I was familiar with."

"I thought everyone would remember me. I didn't expect that the people who remembered me before had all died one by one."

He has long been discarded by time because of death.

The world will gradually forget him with time.

Ji Tang wanted to say something, but saw the other party turned into a bunny and fell to the ground with a snap.

The soft little rabbit puppet is lying quietly on the ground in the large military cap. It is furry and military uniform, and it looks very warm in the warm yellow street lamps.

Ji Tang had no choice but to pick up the military cap with the bunny on it and put it on the box.The little rabbit was afraid of falling off, so he held on to the brim of the hat tightly.

He walked for half an hour, and finally saw a small hotel.He couldn't wait to book a room and check in.

He entered the room, and as soon as he put down the backpack, the bulging backpack shook a few times, and many ghost-possessed objects came out of it, and fell to the ground with crackling noises.Including the little black air ball, which fell to the ground and made an angry cry.

Ji Tang: "..."

He wanted to hide the little rabbit.But it was too late, the little rabbit crawled out of the military cap, crawled towards the little black air mass with its short legs, and stared at this strange ghost.

The black air mass was very wary of the little rabbit, and issued an unusually ferocious tweet.

The little rabbit didn't show any weakness, and used its soft and waxy paws to pounce on the little black air mass.

The two ghosts scuffled into a ball, and the black energy flew around.

Ji Tang frowned, stepped forward and pulled them away: "Stop fighting."

The little rabbit struggled in Ji Tang's hand, chirping in dissatisfaction, the black air mass came out from between Ji Tang's fingers, and hid aside to stare at the little rabbit.

Ji Tang placed the ghosts in different corners of the room to prevent them from arguing in the middle of the night.

This is how they stay together with their possessions.

Ji Tang couldn't imagine what would happen if they got together in human form.

He couldn't think of it, and he hasn't brought them together so far.

After dealing with the ghosts, Ji Tang took a shower and went to bed.

Before going to sleep, he turned on his phone and glanced at the subway ticket to the capital.

This city is different from other cities in that there is a subway that can go directly to the capital.

Ji Tang finished filming the latest supernatural video, and he just happens to be free these few days.

He wanted to accompany Fu Linshan to the capital to watch the flag raising.

Fu Linshan's memory stays in the flames of war 66 years ago.

Didn't know it was a time of peace and prosperity.

Ji Tang couldn't tell him these things in pale words, he wanted him to see the peace of today with his own eyes.

-

The next day.

Ji Tang got up early, put on her backpack, and took the subway to the capital.

There were many people on the subway in the capital, and it took Ji Tang three or four hours to finally arrive in the capital.He immediately rented a hotel to prepare for the flag-raising ceremony the next day.

The little rabbit sat quietly on his shoulders, its soft ears stretched over his forehead.

Ji Tang squeezed the rabbit's ears, and said with a smile: "Doctor Fu, I'll take you to a place in the early hours of tonight."

"Ji?" The little rabbit pushed away Ji Tang's hand with its small paws, turned its head, and did not answer Ji Tang.

Ji Tang poked the little rabbit.

in the afternoon.

Ji Tang started to catch up on sleep early, and slept until three o'clock in the morning the next day.

*** The flag-raising ceremony starts at around six o'clock, but if you want to grab the viewing position in the front row, you have to start early.

Ji Tang took the little rabbit, bought porridge for breakfast at a roadside night snack shop, and then went to bed early to squat.

The weather in the capital was very cold, Ji Tang only wore a coat, and buried his whole face in a scarf to keep warm, exhaling with his hands from time to time.The little rabbit seemed to have noticed something, and moved towards the boy's neck, so as to add some warmth to the boy with his furry body.

Ji Tang finished the porridge with the heat.

The little rabbit has already turned into a tall man, guarding Ji Tang's side, using his body to protect Ji Tang from the wind.

He was still wearing a military uniform, and he was very eye-catching at the door of the police station with red eyes.

But apart from Ji Tang, no one could see him.

Ji Tang put the porridge box into the trash can.

Fu Linshan looked around for a moment, only felt that this place looked familiar, and subconsciously asked: "Is this the ***?"

"Yeah." Ji Tang nodded.

Fu Linshan frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Ji Tang smiled and said: "You will know later."

It was cold today, and few people came to watch the flag-raising ceremony.Ji Tang didn't have to be squeezed into a ball by the crowd, and could stand firmly with Fu Linshan.

The man died in winter, and what his younger brother left for him was also a long winter military uniform.

The hem of his knee-length military coat fluttered in the wind, and the broken hair on his forehead was also blown up.

The time to raise the flag and the time the sun slides out of the horizon

A faint light lit up in the sky, and Ji Tang also saw movement from ***.

He stood up straight, held his breath, and nervously waited for the flag-raising team to arrive.

After a while.

He saw the American flag guard stepping out of the army.

They were wearing dark green military uniforms, and their footsteps were orderly and orderly. Every step could wake up the sleeping city.

After the first line of guards came out, the second line was the flag bearer.

The flag bearer holds the flag and moves towards the flagpole.

The blood-red five-star flag fluttered with the wind in the golden morning light, becoming the most conspicuous silhouette in this land.

The national anthem resounded slowly throughout the *** Square.

Fu Linshan stood in a place that was not illuminated by the light. He was wearing an old-fashioned military uniform, in stark contrast to the flag bearers in dark green uniforms.

He spanned life and death, spanned time, and finally saw the red flag that was not under artillery fire.

The country they would go through fire and water to defend is now raising the banner of victory for them day and night.
