The Heartless Mage Chapter 202: New Hope (2)

Wuxin leaned down, resting his elbows on his knees, an image of pondering. Crossing his hands and fingers, he raised his head and looked at the soldiers with big eyes: "Uncle Tian, ​​now... the little girl is going to be a soldier, isn't it... not bad?"

When the soldier heard his question, he couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, it sounded strange: "Being a soldier is a very honorable thing! How can there be a difference between men and women?"

Wuxin nodded: "Yes, yes, I know that the present is different from the past, and it is a good thing to be a soldier now."

The soldier clenched his teeth softly, but found that the big-eyed thief spoke in a very old-fashioned manner.

Wuxin didn't look at anyone, and he hesitated and said again: "Anyway, I will never let her go to that production corps."

Soldiers found that Wuxin was young, but his consciousness was not generally low: "Well, let me say something. It is also very necessary for pampered students to go to the countryside for re-education. Besides, a young person should go to the most revolutionary stage. Go where you need it, you should combine it with the workers and peasants..."

Wuxin nodded while listening, and when the soldier finished his long speech, he continued with what he just said: "I will discuss with Taotao, after all, she is a little girl, helpless, or find her a stable The place is the best. If you don't endure hardship in the army, you can go to the army."

Su Tao listened to what he was saying, and the more he said it, the more truthful he became. He regarded himself as nothing, and finally could not bear to interject: "Uncle Tian, ​​can Wuxin join me as a soldier?"

The soldier was also young, and Su Tao was Lao Su's daughter, so he could be treated as his own child, so he didn't put his face in a big way: "Pingping, you can think of ways slowly."

The words came out, and the soldier felt a little complacent, thinking that he was finally worthy of his old comrade-in-arms, not only responsible for Lao Su's daughter, but also Lao Su's son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Wuxin said softly, "Uncle Tian, ​​I'm not a soldier."

Su Tao's eyes widened and she subconsciously replied, "If you don't, I won't!"

The soldier followed closely, and all his teeth saw the sun: "You big-eyed thief, you don't want to be a soldier, are you heartless?"

Wuxin raised his head, one head weighed thousands of pounds: "Uncle Tian, ​​I want to have a few words with you alone, can I?"

Su Tao was led by an orderly to the empty room next door, leaving Wuxin to sit opposite the soldier. Wuxin seemed to be too tired to stand up, and spoke in a low voice with her chest hunched over. Of course, there was no friendship between him and the soldiers. All he wanted to know was what life in the army was like: Is it hard or not? Are you tired? Are recruits going to be bullied? Can you find a place to seek revenge after being bullied? Like Su Tao, who can't beat a fart with three sticks, can he live after entering? There is no reason to be a soldier for a lifetime. What is the way out after being a soldier? Can Su Tao get a job that is protected from the wind and the sun? Can you live as a clean and decent little woman?

After the hour-long questioning, Su Tao went out without any intentions. The soldiers found another place for them, not far from the guest house. Once they made up their minds, they could come and report to him at any time.

Su Tao followed Wuxin ignorantly, shaking his arm as he walked: "If we can't join the army together, I won't go. Why would I go? If I don't join the army, my life is the same. Besides, I don't want to be a soldier either. My mother hates being a soldier the most. If she is alive, she will definitely not let me join the army. What's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

Wuxin carried the rucksack on his back like a tortoise on a stele, allowing him to walk one step at a time. With drooping eyelids covering half of his eyes, he dragged Su Tao and his own legs, and walked away and groaned: "Well, I'm tired."

Su Tao tiptoed to untie his backpack: "I'll carry it."

Wuxin shrugged his shoulders: "No, I'll be at the hotel soon."

The hostel is a big hostel. The waiter answered the phone call from the military in advance, so Wuxin was only allowed to register in the book without checking the certificate. Wuxin entered the room on the third floor, took off his backpack, took off his shoes, and lay on the bed as if he was about to die. He closed his eyes and started to sleep. He slept until it was dark and didn't have a dream.

Finally, he woke up hazy. He opened his eyes and looked into the room. He saw Su Tao standing in front of the window, looking out through a layer of screen. Suddenly pouting and whistling, she gently opened the screen and put in a big owl with bright eyes. The owl folded its wings and landed on the ground, as if strolling in the courtyard, looking around looking for Bai Liuli.

Bai Liuli is coiled on the pillow, and now he has grown into a medium-sized fat snake, which is about to fall to the shoulders of a person in a schoolbag, so he often settles in his backpack. Although he has always been impersonal, as an observer today, he vaguely guessed the unintentional thoughts. He and Wuxin have always had different aspirations and disagreements, and he disapproved of everything Wuxin did, including today's game. He stared at Wuxin with his two black bean eyes open. He didn't take a breath when he saw Wuxin, he was really exhausted.

Su Tao stood in front of the bed with a smile, her smile unsteady: "Wuxin, there is a public bath in the hotel where you can take a hot shower! Will you go first or me first?"

Wuxin closed his eyes and sat up with gritted teeth: "You go first, I'm not in a hurry."

Su Tao glanced at him secretly, and at the same time pulled out soap and towels from her backpack. Putting on the slippers under the bed, she quietly opened the door and went out like a house cat or a dog who was afraid of being abandoned, with a little smile on her face, smiling in all directions, aimlessly trying to curry favor.

After the door was closed, Bai Liuli floated up to Wuxin like a cloud: "Wuxin, you won't be..."

He stared at him involuntarily, not saying a word.

Bai Liuli thought for a while, then asked another topic: "You don't like her anymore?"

Wuxin opened her mouth softly, for some reason, her voice became hoarse: "I like her or not, can't you tell?"

Bai Liuli saw that he was in a bad mood, so she was very reasonable, and she didn't have the same knowledge as him: "Then you still let her join the army? I remember a saying, which is probably 'a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not fight. Nail', you—"

Wuxin turned his back to him and lay down, complaining angrily: "Okay, you don't understand anything, and you keep talking about it! What era is it, now being a soldier is a beautiful thing, usually The person who wants to be is not qualified!"

Bai Liuli saw that he was shameless, and even played with her own temper, she waved at the big owl next to her: "Go, peck him to death!"

The big owl hesitantly flew to the head of the bed, looking down at Wuxin's foot, wondering if it should strike immediately. Wuxin has not taken off her shoes for a whole day and night, and a pair of feet in torn socks looks delicious enough. Before he could make a decision, the door suddenly opened, and Su Tao jumped in and said with a smile, "Ho! What a hot shower! It's all cold water!"

Bai Liuli disappeared without a trace, and the big owl was relieved. Su Tao sat down beside the bed drenched in water, with a particularly happy smile on her face, unnaturally happy, as if she was afraid that someone would not be happy.

He sat up unintentionally and looked at Su Tao. Su Tao was wiping her hair with her head tilted, and her bright eyebrows, big eyes and pink face looked unintentionally distressed for a while. Suddenly tired again - his boundless life has been a welcome journey, endless, endless reincarnation. No matter how much he loves, he can't stop, no matter how good he is, he can't keep it, he's exhausted.

"Tao Tao..." He suddenly became old, hundreds of thousands of years old, and his black eyes stayed in the wild era, looking at Su Tao after all the vicissitudes of life: "You go as a soldier!" /

Su Tao didn't say a word, and the movement of wiping her hair became slower and slower. In the end, she rolled up the damp towel and put it on the table, she replied succinctly: "No."

Wuxin lowered his head and looked at his hands on his thighs, his hands were white and snowy, not showing time without the wind and rain: "It's good to be a soldier, at least it can make you live an upright life."

Su Tao's hunch became a reality. Extreme fear turned into anger, she got out of bed without saying a word, ran to the bathroom and urinated for a long time. Then she went back to the room and sat on the bed. In order to express her disgust for being a soldier, she began to prank peacefully - she cleaned herself inside and out, and now she is neither cold nor hot, neither thirsty nor hungry. Sit upright on the bed all night. She had never played a petty temper with Wuxin, and she decided to play it once today, to let Wuxin know how ruthless and ridiculous his thoughts were, and how sad and angry she was.
