The Heartless Mage Chapter 203: Confrontation
Two single beds were placed against the wall, one was sitting on the bed, Su Tao was sitting on the other. The wall and the railing at the head of the bed formed a corner, which could allow Su Tao to sit comfortably in the corner and sit still in a pit on the bed. She has a quiet temperament, and it is her talent to pretend to be deaf and mute. She hung her head down with disheveled hair, her eyes swept out through the wet hair, but she wanted to see how Wuxin would react.
The lights were on in the room, attracting mosquitoes the size of a screen window. The screen window was half-new and not old, and could not be perfectly matched, so I went to turn off the lights unintentionally, as long as there was a little light from the street lights outside the window. Standing on the ground in darkness, in the corner of Su Tao's eyes, he became a timid shadow, wanting to speak, but also to walk and stop.
Su Tao blinked her eyes, and re-thought the cause and effect. In the end, she was still very calm and hard-hearted: Do you still know how to be timid? Do you know that you are sorry? I thought you had to be righteous in the end! It's all said and done, it's all agreed upon, if you say it doesn't count, it doesn't count? You say overthrow is overthrow? Anyway, I don't agree, I don't do it. I am also someone who has seen the rain through the wind, and I am not a fool. Are you going to call the shots for me? I don't listen!
The more she thought about it, the more right she was, to the point of being aggrieved. Suppressing a wave of tears, she silently took a deep breath, then calmly relaxed her body, and steadfastly nestled into the corner. She is not impatient, and if necessary, she can carry out a protracted battle.
At the same time, Wuxin, like a cat and dog with a guilty conscience, crept up to her bed.
"Peach." He leaned down, his voice still hoarse: "Listen to me—"
Before he could say the following, Su Tao spat out three words from behind the wet hair: "I'm not going!"
Wuxin rested his hands on the bed, his face was very close to Su Tao. Depressed, he lowered his head, and he made a sound like he was trying to save his life: "Tao Tao, you should go. You are still young, don't take wandering as one thing, and when you grow up in the future, you will—"
Su Tao didn't want to learn his high theory at all, so she hid behind her wet hair and shot a cold arrow: "I won't go!"
Wuxin closed his eyes, feeling that his strength was being lost with the language. Going further, he can really tell himself to death: "Peach, I don't even know where to take you this winter."
Su Tao was silent for a moment, then finally replied: "I'm not afraid of the cold. If I could survive last winter, I will definitely survive this winter."
The unintentional head hangs down to the extreme, leaving Su Tao with straight shoulders and short hair on the back of his head: "Tao Tao, when you become a soldier, you have a legal status, and you no longer have to I'm afraid of people."
Su Tao stared at him, her voice almost cold: "I'm not afraid of anyone."
Wanxin's arm began to tremble, as if it was finally unable to hold back. If time goes back decades, unless Su Tao wants to, no one will want to **** her from his arms. Because with his little ability, he can always let Su Taoan live a peaceful life, and he can always be worthy of her life.
But now he can't. He has no hukou and no job. In today's era of confession and leniency, and resistance to strictness, he is an anomaly wherever he goes, and his whereabouts and origin are unknown.
The days of wandering are good for ten days and a half months, good for a year and a half, but not good for a lifetime.
He lifted his heavy eyelids and looked forward. He saw that Su Tao was in full bloom. It was a budding flower. It was so bright and beautiful. So he had to find a greenhouse for her, and he couldn't let her regenerate frostbite and lice.
Slowly turned around and sat on the bed, he stepped back to Su Tao's side. Leaning against the wall and raising his head, he let out a long sigh: "You have to go."
Su Tao sneered, indicating that she didn't take careless words as a matter of fact.
Wuxin turned her face to her, and suddenly became impatient: "What are you laughing at? Do you really want to be an idiot for the rest of your life?"
As soon as he changed his face, Su Tao also opened his eyes and raised his head, never expecting that he would be willing to get angry with himself. The two stared at each other for a moment, then unintentionally reached out to grab her collar, and asked in a low voice, "Look at what you wear every day? Think about what you eat every day? I'm not good at it. If I can't feed you, I can't give you anything. You really live with me all your life, and you can't close your eyes when you die! Taotao, don't care about me, it's useless, it's not worth it!"
Su Tao jerked her shoulders and pulled out the collar of her shirt from his hands. The shirt was worn last year. It has no shape, no style, no color, and it has a distance of 18,000 miles from "beauty". Raising her hand to flutter her dripping bangs, she turned her face towards the screen window. With a trembling breath, she twisted the tip of her nose, and she squeezed out a vague sentence from between her teeth.
Wu Xin didn't hear clearly, so she approached her and asked, "What did you say?"
Su Tao didn't look at him, she opened her mouth to the mosquitoes and moths in a screen window, her voice was filled with tears and accompanied by crying: "It was all set..."
She wiped her eyes fiercely with the back of her hand, gritted her teeth and burst into tears: "We'll always be together, we'll never be apart, we're all set, and there's no regrets?"
She doesn't cry, no matter how angry or sad she is still muttering to herself, who likes to listen to who listens: "I didn't go back, you go back first? You are several years older than me, and it doesn't matter what you say. I said it well, I said it several times, but it turned out to be a lie?"
Her tears quickly surged, and she began to sob, sob and choked, blushing and complaining to the window full of summer bugs: "I know whether it is bitter or not, if you say it is bitter, it is bitter? If I am a soldier, it is not good if I am not. Why? If I am not, I am not.
Bai Liuli swam silently onto the bed and tucked it onto Su Tao's lap. Su Tao stretched out her hand to wrap his arms around him, and no one looked at him, she just shed tears at the screen window. What is "useless" and "not worth it"? It hurts to speak out of nowhere.
Inadvertently, she hugged her calf and pressed her chin to her knee. He was so tired that he couldn't even speak rhetorically. Raising his hand and wrapping his arms around Su Tao's shoulders, he wanted to hug him into his arms. The first time he didn't move, the second time he moved, he wiped the other person's hot tears with his sleeve. Su Tao twitched in his arms, the grievance was huge, and the grievance was utterly grievous. Her head was tilted on the unintentional knee, and there was a layer of old trousers. Wuxin is really thin, and usually only sees him running around and dynamism, but Su Tao suddenly realized that he was not eating enough and drinking enough.
As soon as Su Tao closed her eyes, the tears came again.
Wanxin bent over, like a snake and a bird, wrapped Su Tao in his arms, rubbed his cheeks against Su Tao's half-dried hair, which was fluffy and thick, without shampooing Cream, there are soaps for soaps, there are soaps for soaps, there is really nothing left, and caustic soda will do—so good hair, use caustic soda for it!
Wu Xin stopped talking, and wrapped his arms around Su Tao. He hugged her hard, hugged her, and restrained her, causing her to breathe in but not out, causing her to break her bones and connect her tendons. She is the gleam of spring light he met by chance, and she is the little girl who looks like a flower in his eyes. Is he willing to let her join the army? Is he willing to let her go out into the world alone? He was reluctant, he was most reluctant, but he couldn't say this.
The two fell sideways together, forming a posture of embracing. He patted the other person's back lightly, and a low sentence made him speak hoarsely and old-fashioned: "Tao Tao, go to sleep, if you have something to say tomorrow."
Su Tao didn't say anything, and buried a steaming face into his chest.
When I woke up, the sky was bright. Su Tao sat up with swollen eyes, and found that Wuxin had gone out and bought fritters and soy milk. Bai Liuli was placed on the opposite bed, and a pair of black bean eyes stared at her. As usual, the owl squatted in the corner, as gray as a short wooden stake.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the small table in front of the window, and found that the soy milk was actually mixed with beaten egg flowers and brown sugar, and it was almost thickened into porridge. At this moment, as soon as the door opened, Wuxin walked in with a water cup and toothbrush.
"Come on." He opened his mouth with a smile on his face: "Brush your teeth first, then eat the fried dough sticks while it's still hot. The fried dough sticks are deep-fried, and they are still crispy!"
Su Tao took the toothbrush squeezed with toothpaste from him, feeling a little dazed. Wuxin looked too casual, making her feel that the confrontation last night was just a dream. Wuxin also handed her the water glass, and took out a large spittoon from under the bed. As she brushed her teeth with her head down to the spittoon, he went out again and twisted the wet towel back.
Su Tao wiped her face, got out of bed and sat at the table. Picking up a fried dough stick and taking a bite, she tasted a good taste, and immediately turned to look at Wuxin: "Have you eaten?"
Wanxin walked to the bed and sat down, next to the table and replied, "I ate."
Su Tao doesn't trust him now, so she squeezed the fried dough stick and asked, "Is it really delicious?"
Wuxin smiled: "I really did eat it. I ate it at the fried dough sticks stall downstairs, and I also drank soy milk."
When the voice fell, he lifted the single shirt on Su Tao's body and showed him his white belly. Su Tao lightly pressed the back of her hand on his stomach again. After pressing it, she had an idea and knew that he really had food in his stomach.
Withdrew her hand and took a sip of hot soy milk, Su Tao stuck her tongue out. The soy milk was too sweet and the content was too rich, which made her feel sad without thinking: "Isn't it more expensive to add eggs and sugar? Time is running out?"
Wuxin sat in a bright sunshine, half of his face was so brightly lit by the sunlight that it was almost transparent. Smiling happily at Su Tao, he said, "When you become a soldier, our life will be better."
Su Tao was stunned, the sweet taste on her tongue disappeared immediately. It turns out that the protracted war is not over yet, she thought angrily, he still wants to coax me with sugar-coated cannonballs!
"Who said I'm going to be a soldier?" Her pink face instantly turned pale: "Whoever wants to be a soldier, go to whom! I'm not a soldier, I'm a blind street. I have no family or money, I I can't afford soy milk fritters."
Wanxin still laughs, smiling like a faceless child: "Tao Tao, I haven't finished what I said last night. When you cried, I was so scared that I forgot the following. Today you give it to me. Take a moment and listen to what I have to say, is it reasonable?"
Su Tao heard that he had changed his tone, which was very different from the lifeless virtue of last night, so he became curious: "You say it."
Wuxin cleared his throat, and subconsciously stretched out his hand over Bai Liuli's tail and pinched it: "Tao Tao, I think so, with your current status, the only way out is to join the army. Yesterday, your uncle Tian told me that everyone who came out of the army will have a household registration and a job, and it is still a good job. Tao Tao, do you think it is better to work or to wander?"
Su Tao ignored his words and asked directly: "What about you? I went to join the army, what do you do? What are you doing?"
Wuxin replied: "Me? I will never starve to death alone. Wherever you go to be a soldier, I will live there. If you can leave the army camp, I will meet you; if you can't leave the army camp, I will also give You write. When you are discharged in the future, if you don't dislike me, I will follow you."
Because Su Tao never hides a traitor in front of him, at this moment, listening to him speak with nose and eyes, his brain can't help but not enough: "Really or not?"
Wuxin nodded: "I don't have an account and I don't have a job. Whoever wants me will suffer a loss. What am I lying to you for?"
Su Tao thought about it again and again, but couldn't come up with a clue, but she seemed to relax a little, allowing her to lower her head and take a sip of hot soy milk: "Then why don't you join the army with me? Tingtian Uncle means, he must be able to help."
Wuxin shook his head: "I don't do it. I'm used to freedom and can't stand restraint. Even if I join the army, I'll have to be a deserter within a month."
Su Tao began to bite the fritters: "Then we won't be in the army, let's go to the countryside and go to that regiment! Isn't it just work in the regiment? Where I want to work, the discipline will definitely not be too strict. You see, Ding Mao and Gu Ji didn't ask for leave when they asked for leave?"
Wuxin shook his head into a rattle: "Tao Tao, please spare me, I don't want to be a soldier, and I don't want to farm, I'm lazy! If you're really kind to me, go to the army quickly. I I also expect you to have a future to give me retirement!"
Su Tao ate and drank noncommittally, sweating profusely from the heat. Wuxin looked at her, not knowing what kind of answer she would give him. Bai Liuli slumped on the bed for a long time, spitting out a letter in pain—the tail was about to be snapped off accidentally!
Su Tao drank the last sip of soy milk, then put down the big bowl and wiped her mouth. With sweat on the tip of her nose, she told Wuxin: "How about we go to the countryside together? Is the Great Northern Wilderness similar to Changbai Mountain? There are also squirrels and Fox?"
Inadvertently hearing this, I slapped my thigh: "Tao Tao, why did you say it again? I just said everything in vain?"
Su Tao licked her lips, and her lips were sweet: "Wuxin, as long as we can see each other often, doing farm work is no big deal."
Inadvertently lowered his head: "No!"
Su Tao sighed: "You are so lazy!"
He picked up the big bowl and licked a piece of egg flower by the side of the bowl. Su Tao gave him an ultimatum: "I'll go to Uncle Tian in a while and ask how the Corps is doing. If the conditions are not very bad, we will Go to the countryside. I have been a soldier for several years, and I don’t want to live a collective life with outsiders.”
Wu Xin was about to cry: "Isn't going to the countryside also about living a collective life? Don't you think that when we reach the Great Northern Wilderness, we can still set up a tent and continue to live a small life?"
Su Tao hurriedly brushed her hair: "After finishing the work during the day, it's good to meet at night."
