Ye Jun looked sadly at himself, who was in such a miserable state. In just two days, he had transformed from a military god into a homeless man. He was heartbroken.

Her shoulders were somewhat bulging from carrying luggage all night, and she looked half-stretched. She looked at the watch again. It was only a quarter past six. Why did it suddenly feel like time was passing so slowly? Wrinkle.

Frowning, he continued to move forward in a dejected manner without any destination.

Suddenly, Ye Jun felt someone behind him, so he turned his head and glanced around slightly, only to see a wrinkled face looking at him. Ye Jun stared blankly and said, "Old man, why is it you?"

"Young man, is it really you? I spotted you just now and was unsure, so I followed you secretly. Where are you...where are you going?" the old man said with a puzzled look.

.

"Hey! Forget it, I'm just wandering around. What are you doing? Why are you up so early?" Ye Jun pointed at the tricycle behind the old man.

"Oh, I do this every day. In order to send my granddaughter to school, I get up early to pick up some garbage."

"Oh, that's right!"

"No, young man, you are definitely hiding something from me. Look at you, you look like you haven't slept all night. Is it the trouble I caused you?" The old man felt more and more that something was wrong with Ye Jun's outfit, so he asked strangely.

"No, no, no...how is that possible? Old man, are you overthinking it? I'm very good?" Although Ye Jun was confident that his expression remained calm, his nervous answer vaguely made the old man aware of it.

"Okay, young man, although I don't have much ability as an old man, I still have experience. Come on, come home with me first, have a hot meal, and then talk about your business." The old man looked at Ye Junda with a chuckle.

road.

"No, no need... I've already eaten. Old man, you're busy, I'll leave first." Ye Jun hurriedly prepared to leave.

"Where are you going? I can see that you have nowhere to go. Let's go. Even if we don't talk about you, we have nothing to repay you for saving our lives that day. Let's go. Let's have a meal.

?”

Ye Jun couldn't stand the old man's repeated urging, so he had no choice but to follow the old man home. Of course, Ye Jun would have been vigilant due to occupational habit along the way and made sure no one was following him before leaving.

After walking through Sanluluqi Hutong, the old man stopped in front of the door of an extremely damp alleyway board house. He pushed the tricycle aside, knocked on the door, and then led Ye Jun in.

"Xiaoxue, who do you think is coming?" the old man said with a smile.

"Oh! It's you!" Xiaoxue opened the door and looked at Ye Jundao in surprise.

The latter smiled lightly as an answer.

After entering the door, Xiaoxue noticed the luggage Ye Jun was carrying and asked puzzledly: "You don't plan to stay at our house, do you?"

In an instant, the old man and Ye Jun were stunned at the same time. The latter scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "How could it be? I just happened to meet your grandfather on the road, and he dragged me here."

"What are you talking about? You girl, are you going to thank your savior like this?" the old man said with a helpless smile.

"No, grandpa, look at how embarrassed he is, what's wrong with him?" Xiaoxue whispered in the old man's ear.

The old man smiled and said, "Go and do your homework. Why do you care about so many things?" Then he turned back to Ye Jun and said, "Young man, take your bag off and stop carrying it on your shoulders. Aren't you tired? Or are you?

You're afraid that we, the grandfather and the grandson, will steal your things."

Ye Jun smiled sheepishly, took off the bag from his shoulders, and suddenly felt as light as a swallow.

After a meal of joking, the old man cooked some rice, which consisted of simple cereals, but for the old man, it was already the best in the family.

At the dinner table, the old man said a little embarrassedly: "There's nothing good to eat? It's just plain rice and light tea. If you don't mind, just eat it."

"How could that be? Grandpa, you are too polite."

The meal lasted only fifteen minutes, and Ye Jun did not dare to eat more. His appetite was quite abnormal. He only ate half full and then pretended to be uncomfortable, making the old man and the girl laugh. The atmosphere was tense for a while.

It's quite comfortable, and the three of them are quite familiar.

From the conversation during the meal, Ye Jun learned that the girl's name was Feng Xue, who was nineteen years old and was a freshman at Longjiang University. Feng Xue's parents died in a car accident a few years ago.

, for my granddaughter to go to school.

Seeing that the atmosphere was very relaxed, the old man pursed his lips and said, "Young man, are you a soldier?"

"Not anymore, grandpa, you have great eyesight!" Hearing this, Ye Jun looked at the old man with admiring eyes.

"Haha, it's not that I have great vision, I have also been a soldier. I served in the army for five years forty years ago." The old man seemed to be recalling his military career back then, and looked at the door with some regret and nostalgia in his eyes.

Ye Jun smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

"You were fired, right? Even though you didn't say it, I could tell that it was because of our affairs, right?" Under the old man's faint smile, there was an insight into everything in the world. This was Ye Jun's first feeling.

"Well, old man, I won't hide it from you. I was expelled yesterday because of a fight in the city! But old man, don't blame yourself too much. I have been in the army for enough time, so...

..”

"Haha, okay, okay, you are not a simple soldier? The people you beat the day before yesterday were all the powerful princes in the Longjiang government. You beat them to death or maimed them. The only ones who were still intact were the cut off soldiers.

It’s not an easy job.”

Ye Jun felt more and more that the old man had extraordinary thoughts! "Grandpa, you are also extraordinary. Ordinary old people seem to be frightened that day, but you? Haha"

The old man paused after hearing this, and then he recovered and said naturally: "I told you that I was a soldier, so there is nothing strange about it."

Seeing that the old man had no intention of telling the truth, Ye Jun stopped asking further questions.

The conversation between the two lasted for half an hour, and Ye Jun also told the old man all about his military career, excluding of course the battle last night.

The latter looked at Ye Jun with great admiration. It was best for Ye Jun to stand up and leave, but the old man stopped him again and again and left Ye Jun behind. He said that you have nowhere to go now. You can wait until you find a job before you go out.

Not too late.

Ye Jun smiled bitterly and had no choice but to accept it. The old man made some space in a small wooden house next door for Ye Jun to stay.

In the next few days, Ye Jun did not let the old man go out to pick up garbage. He took out half of his money and gave it to the old man. The old man said nothing, so Ye Jun had to threaten to leave, which made the old man temporarily accept it.

Down.

Seeing Feng Xue's figure, Ye Jun unknowingly thought of his sister, Ye Ling! Ye Jun was born in a single-parent family. His mother suffered a dystocia when giving birth to Ye Ling and unfortunately passed away. For twenty years, the brother and sister have been together.

He was brought up by his father. Fortunately, his father had a job, so their life was pretty good. Gradually, the memories moistened the corners of Ye Jun's eyes.

"Hey - what are you thinking about? Why are you crying?" Ye Jun was in a daze when Feng Xue suddenly broke in and was startled.

"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in? Did you miss college?" Ye Jun quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, why should I come to talk to you? I've been at home all day and no one is with me except grandpa. I finally have a talking creature like you today. Can I not be happy?"

Looking at the innocent and cute Feng Xue, Ye Jun smiled helplessly. "Come, sit down!" He reached out and patted the edge of the bed next to him.

"Why are you crying? I'm sorry, it's all us who hurt you." Feng Xue sat down next to Ye Jun with a guilty tone.

"It has nothing to do with you, don't think nonsense! What do you want to talk to me about? Tell me?"

"Haha, that's good! Let's talk about your stories in the army!" Feng Xue didn't think much about it. Her grandfather protected her from wind and rain in her world, so she didn't know the darkness of society.

That's why she is so naive now.

"What do I have to talk about in the army? Every day is just like a machine, except for training." Ye Jun thought of the life in the army. It seemed like this. He occasionally entertained his comrades, but there were almost no interesting stories.

"Let's talk? Let's talk?" The coquettish voice made Ye Jun tremble all over.

"Okay, okay! In the army, every day..." Ye Jun was slowly attracted by Feng Xue's topic, and unfolded his memories of five years in the army.

Ten days have passed, and Ye Jun is very happy staying at the old man's house. Every day he accompanies the somewhat innocent and silly Feng Xue, and talks about historical events with the old man. Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Jun also feels that it is time to go out and search.
