Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Ji Yuanyuan didn't slap Lin Mu that day, and Jimmy didn't ask when he would be discharged from the hospital.
Because the TV in the ward suddenly interrupted a major news: the government of country Z and the government of country Y reopened peace talks in the neutral zone of Saltwater City, and are willing to discuss several issues of the peace of the three southern countries on the premise of the surrender of the "Vulture" organization and a truce.
Little Rahimi was hijacked by Linmu to Thar City, injured in the scuffle, and finally arrested. The Minister of Defense of Country Z, Derop, returned to the capital safely and presided over the restart of the peace talks, but the old Rahimi, the leader of the "Vulture" organization, disappeared-Drop insisted that his whereabouts were unknown.
The next negotiations will focus on the denuclearization of the three southern countries, as well as the withdrawal of US troops and United Nations troops, and the realization of regional autonomy.
Whoever has uranium raw materials has the absolute right to speak.
"Did you take that thing?" Lin Mu asked him for the eighth time in a day. Jimmy deliberately didn't answer, and smiled like a rascal, so Lin Mu asked him for the eighth time: "Then when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"Hundred days of injury! When you fully recover, I will definitely lift up—"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mu didn't let him finish his sentence at all, he stretched out his hand to grab his collar, pulled him in front of him and asked, "Did you see clearly?"
Jimmy nodded, and Lin Mu's kiss came closer.He first moistened his lips with his tongue, and then gently penetrated, sweeping his mouth, gentle and irresistible.
The deep kiss broke slowly, before Lin Mu asked, "What are you sure about?"
"I'm sure...I'm sure..." Jimmy's confidence in "eight-carried sedan chairs" just now disappeared, "I'll let you attend my graduation ceremony!"
Jimmy interrupted his studies because of the sudden death of Edison Chan. In fact, he was only eight credits away from getting his master's degree.Now that the truth is revealed, the life that has been forced to stagnate seems to be going back and forth again, Lin Mu asks him to finish reading first.
Jimmy pouted, he didn't like reading, but he loved trees.He kissed Lin Mu's forehead, got up, and turned off the lotus root ribs soup.The next day after Lin Mu woke up, he said he wanted to eat instant noodles, so he set up a small stove in the ward.He put a strip of glue on the smoke alarm, and then used the gas stove they used when they were camping in the desert to make healthy food for the forest.
Unexpectedly, only one morning later, Lin Mu held his own breakfast bowl, held back his smile, and said politely, "Excuse me, this is—"
"Organic oatmeal boiled with milk imported from New Zealand... Served with seasonal fruits in Saltwater City, such as plums, persimmons, and apples?" Jimmy became confused as he spoke.
"Why is it a question?" Lin Mu smiled and rolled his eyes, looking very pretty.
"Because..." Jimmy stood on tiptoe and glanced at Lin Shu's bowl from a distance: it was a white sticky mass, with a few pieces of fruit floating here and there, "I suddenly remembered that the recipe said that the milk might be boiled and poured Into cereal, fruit cut up."
"how about you?"
"I cooked it together for about 15 minutes..." Jimmy curled his lips and sighed heavily, "I'm afraid it won't be good for your health if it's not cooked."
Lin Mu said firmly, "Come here."
Jimmy walked over cautiously, but was dragged onto the hospital bed by Lin Muyi.He struggled to maintain his balance and lay down beside him.
"Didn't you say that your ribs hurt yesterday, why are you so energetic today?!" Jimmy stared sideways at the people around him.He remembered that he had threatened that when Lin Mu completely recovered from his illness, he would show him... the big one.This and that, punishing him for playing with him and restraining him...
This caused Lin Mu to ask for the ninth time: "Then when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
A gust of wind and the sound of bells interrupted Jimmy's memories. He also took out two bowls of the lotus root ribs soup stewed today and put them aside to cool.The familiar wind chime was moved to hang on the hospital window, he wanted to give Lin Mu a sense of security at home.
They had already moved out of the ward whose walls had been pierced. This time the new ward was in the corner, with floor-to-ceiling windows occupying two full walls. At sunset, one could overlook the thousands of galvanized roofs of Saltwater City, shining golden light.In the streets, the hawkers who sell mangoes care about every detail, the craftsmen who repair watches are constantly soliciting, and the aunts who sell baked pancakes are in high spirits—everything is alive, just like the prosperous world.
"Where's the sheep?!" Lin Mu suddenly remembered something, and asked Jimmy with wide eyes, "Where is Bingtang...?"
Jimmy sighed three times: "It's been more than ten days and you only remember him now? The stepfather is not as good as the real father——"
He looked anxiously at the trees, his breathing became short of breath, his pupils dilated, and finally dimmed: "I haven't seen it since I went to Saltwater City. I don't know where Lahimi locked it up, and if there is any food for it .or...have... put it..."
Jimmy said: "The rock candy was given by Lahimi, the younger one. At that time, it was still so small, and its hair was still lanugo. I hated it so much that I didn't even want to hug it..."
Lin Mu has long been familiar with Jimmy's routine: "Okay, I know it hasn't been eaten! Fast forward."
Jimmy chuckled: "I knew that Bingtang had a monitoring device on me when I came back from old Rahimi. The monitoring is not enough, they must still want to track my location. Sure enough, Jeremy intercepted the channel as soon as he checked. He found Bingtang It was around Tal when I was there. There's a little oasis south of town, you know? There's a lot of sheep over there, and it—"
Ji Yuanyuan pushed the door open at the right time and came in, just in time to hear Jimmy finish saying "I'm pregnant".
It is rare for Ji Yuanyuan not to wear work clothes and short boots. This time, she is wearing a light green wrap dress with spots on it, which is very welcoming of spring.
She still didn't talk to Lin Mu, she just asked Jimmy: "Yo, who is pregnant?"
Lin Mu interjected: "Bingtang, that poor lamb you abandoned. I'm all alone, in the desert, after all—"
Ji Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "Listen, some people still dare to use the word "abandon"? Who abandoned whom? If I want to be alone, I am also alone! Is it "hard"? I think you are easy!"
With a smile on his face, Jimmy gave Ji Yuanyuan a bowl of lotus root pork rib soup: "Go away."
Another bowl was given to Lin Mu: "It's for strengthening the body."
Ji Yuanyuan: "..."
After she gulped down a bowl of soup and left all the spare ribs, and asked for another bowl, she said slowly and self-consciously: "Actually...it's not easy for you."
Just as Lin Mu was shaking the hospital bed and straightened up to take a good look at her, she said, "I heard from Jeremy that you thought the trench you fell in was on the edge of Saltwater City? Oh, it's more than 400 kilometers away. , Captain, it’s so far from Lhasa to Nyingchi. Is your sense of direction not good enough? Should you retire?”
Lin Mu looked at Jimmy: "Listen to what Jeremy said—then you already knew, why don't you tell me?"
Jimmy looked up.
Lin Mu asked again: "The snow that day...was it real?" He was afraid that the snow in the desert, together with the gesture of the warm snowman hugging him, was also an illusion.
Jimmy pretended to be puzzled: "It's snowing? What's snowing?"
When he saw Lin Shu's eyes that instantly darkened, he immediately smiled: "It's snowing."
"I know what you're looking forward to."
"I'm here."
At noon of that Lantern Festival, on the roof of the century bazaar melee, Lin Shu habitually left him the last cigarette before leaving him to go to the battlefield.He was reluctant to smoke, and he was also reluctant to throw away. He held the cigarette case in his hand for a long time before he realized that someone had written on the lid.
He imagined the man's slender and pale fingers, holding the pen, penetrating through the back of the paper:
Looking forward to the continuous snowfall, I hope you... will come unexpectedly.
At that time, Jimmy only asked Jeremy one thing: whether his life insurance, which includes accidental death in the war zone, is enough to pay for the shareholder class action lawsuit.
Jeremy said $800 million, not even a fraction to pay shareholders.So Jimmy put on his helmet visor and night vision goggles, and strode toward the helicopter—he couldn't die yet.
Now that he has made an appointment with Lin Mu, he can't die yet.
Sure enough, when it snowed for the first time in Tar, they met again.This time, there was no temptation to provoke each other, no relentless swearing, no guarding, no lies, and no forgetting.
This time he walked towards him with firm steps.And Lin Shu, who was almost unconscious in the trench, moved slightly, as if he wanted to hug him, but he was afraid that the snowman would melt.
On the second day, Chen Yan accompanied the new attending physician to visit Lin Mu, and translated a few words in Bangalore by the way—the doctor finally agreed to discharge Lin Mu from the hospital.
Lin Mu was signing the discharge procedures in the lobby, and Chen Yan kept winking at Jimmy from behind him.Lin Mu couldn't leave the hospital for two weeks, thanks to his troubles behind the scenes. Jimmy only told him and the doctor to delay Lin Mu's discharge from the hospital, but he didn't say why.
Chen Yan didn't ask either.The work of the American Aid Association is getting busy day by day-the internal malfeasance investigation against Dr. Pete accidentally involved a series of anti-corruption investigations, which is exactly what the American reporter wanted.And he was temporarily promoted to the head of the regional office of the three southern countries, so he had fewer chances to have surgery, and there were many times when he was bored and fell asleep during conference calls.
On the day the internal investigation results were announced, neither he nor Jimmy paid too much attention to it.But while he was waiting for Lin Mu to go through the formalities, he heard a few words from the TV screen in the hospital lobby-what Dr. Pete received a large donation from an unknown source a few years ago, all of which were spent on medicines, and a pen and a pen were all written down. detailed.The patented medicines bought in Sweden were already expensive enough. The Greek shipping company, the Israeli underworld, and the corrupt customs in Saltwater City all made a fortune, and even the Dudu who transported the medicine to the Tal Castle Hospital The driver of the car will also be charged fifty rupees more.
With that batch of bought medicine, ten Tahrers were saved today. They went out to cause trouble in country Z and made a bomb explode. Tomorrow, they will save another [-] Tahrers.The troubles kept coming, and he was like a car with his arms. In the end, after all these years, he was tired like Sisyphus pushing a stone, and it came to nothing.
Not so Dr. Pitt, who insisted in a television interview that he had no regrets.Even at this point, he has no regrets——
"Lin Mu, hey, let's go, let's go home." Jimmy had already buried half of his foot out of the hospital gate, half of his body fell into the warm sunshine, and turned his head to look for Lin Mu.The trees are gone.
Then Jimmy heard on the TV screen, the suspect who took off his white coat said that he has no regrets, even now that he has induced leukemia due to exposure to radioactive substances, he has never regretted it.
The doctor who had survived aftershocks, wars, and avalanches to save people, hadn’t seen his old age for a few days, and just blinked his blue eyes and said: “When the U.S. military was in power, it said that Tal was here, but after a while, it went back and said that Tal was here. I'm over there. I don't know what's real and what they put in my head. All I know is: Bleeding really hurts. Keep breathing and avoid dying... that's the only thing I can do for them of. Keep them breathing and avoid dying..."
Jimmy walked out of the hospital door completely, and his whole body fell into the sunlight.After a while, Lin Mu also caught up, still holding the wind chime hanging on the window of the ward: "I almost forgot, I have to take it home too."
Jimmy pulled out a smile and turned to blame him: "Just because of this, you ran back to the third floor again? Your injury is not completely healed yet! Anyway, someone from the moving company will come to pick it up later—"
"Moving?" Lin Mu was at a loss, "Who wants to move?"
Jimmy slipped his tongue and hurriedly talked about him, pointing to the statue of the Lantern Festival that has not been removed from the stall in the small bazaar, and asked Lin Mu if he could put a flying lantern for him.
"If you want to let it go, let's both let it go."
"it is good."
Hand over a few dirhams, and take the paper flying lantern. Jimmy asked Lin Mu for a lighter, but found that the patient had already been banned from smoking by him, so he borrowed the stall owner's instead.
Flying lanterns lit.Before letting go, Lin Mu asked Jimmy: "Do you have any wish?"
Jimmy looked at him: thick eyebrows and big eyes, slender and straight, with a scar on his forehead and bruises on his wrists.In addition, the thinking is normal, the work is stable, and the work and rest are regular.An ordinary person with sound limbs, food and water.
As for wishes—of course I have.Does it count as marrying you home in eight sedan chairs?Does it count if you build a castle, build an oasis, and dig a well that won't dry up for 1 years?Is it worth buying a spaceship for you to see the brightest star in the depths of the universe?Going to heaven and earth, moving mountains and seas, Babylon or outer space, they only love you, so does that count?
In the end, Jimmy rubbed his eyes stung by the sun, and told Lin Mu: "My wish is world peace."
Lin Mu smiled: "Coincidentally, mine is too."
Jimmy said in his heart: I know, of course I know.
They went to the parking lot behind the hospital, got the black box and drove home.The stereo happened to be broken, and the two of them were silent in the confined space, except for the endless noise of the street market in Saltwater City outside the window, before the rest of the day.
Taking advantage of the traffic jam at the intersection, Jimmy stepped on the brakes, leaned over and took out a folder from the passenger drawer—the one with the badge of his undergraduate school, and put it on Lin Mu's leg.
"It was supposed to show you that day." It was interrupted by Dr. Pete's bad news.
"What is it?" Lin Mu wondered and opened it.
"The pen is in the drawer. Take it yourself." Jimmy didn't look at him. The elephant crossing the road in front of him was just the back of the elephant wagging its tail. The traffic slowly resumed. He turned into the roundabout, and the fruit stalls on both sides were colorful, orange papaya , yellow mango, brown coconut.
Lin Mu temporarily put the folder aside: "Actually, I still have one wish."
"Confess to you."
"Edison Chan was the pilot of the emergency helicopter flying from Taal to Saltwater City."
"I heard you talking on the walkie-talkie, didn't remind you, didn't reply to you, didn't... didn't even say sorry to you, it was me."
"Landed on Tar after more than three years, didn't know it was you."
"Later, I read the news and heard you talk about your adoptive father. I knew it was you, but I missed the opportunity and didn't say sorry in time."
"Staying in Tal, which has become a battlefield, and going back, and going back again, is to prevent the uranium raw materials from falling into the hands of the inspector. But it is also for myself. I thought that if we find the truth, maybe the one who first met between us One day, you can... Maybe you can..."
"I'm sorry, I said it many times in my heart."
"But I don't have the confidence that you can forgive me who drove the emergency helicopter but failed to save Edison Chan..."
"I linked you to possibly the worst day of my life..."
"Because of landing, I brought you perhaps the worst news of your life..."
"Sitting in the cockpit, I was doing business. With the label of an arms dealer, I casually judged whether others are worthy of life or death. I ignored the complexity of people and failed to understand. Everyone wants and deserves to live forever my..."
"I haven't been able to help you, I haven't been able to comfort you, I haven't even been able to say a word to you politely."
While driving skillfully, Jimmy drove left and right, crossing the flow of people returning home from get off work in Saltwater City, while freeing his right hand to hold Lin Shu's hand.
Before he had time to speak, Lin Mu went on to say: "I can't go back that day. For the rest of the day, I will accompany you. You don't need comfort anymore. I will remind you when you are about to take risks again." Be safe. But I also support you, accompany you on adventures, or wait for you to come back and cook instant noodles for you."
Jimmy stares at the traffic ahead, bicycles, trikes, boards, carts, elephants, camels, and cows.Dazzled, something blurred his eyes.After a long while of brewing, only one sentence came out: "Just instant noodles?"
Lin Mu nodded: "Didn't it claim to be delicious in the world? What about the treasures bestowed on mankind by God? You changed your mind so quickly?"
Jimmy didn't dare, he rubbed his eyes again, was pulled away by Lin Mu, and patted.The black box turned onto a small road, the dirt road was stretched with stones everywhere, and it felt a bit scattered in Tarr.
Then Lin Mu's sight suddenly opened up, and the familiar Buddhist pagoda appeared at the intersection, followed by the familiar canteen, the wind chime shop, the Korean restaurant opened by the Japanese, the entrance to Jianxin's staff dormitory... just——
"Where's my house?!" Lin Mu shouted.
