Chapter 4 Chapter 4
When Jimmy heard the gunshot, he suddenly realized that what happened to "Blue Velvet" today was bizarre, and it was probably not just for grabbing bags.
The people in Thar are so simple that it’s ridiculous. Except for the use of weapons of mass destruction in wars, they don’t even commit petty crimes on weekdays—the excess hormones of young people are used to smuggle bombs across the border.
But today, gunshots were heard in civilian areas.It was the first time he had heard of it in the three years he had been in Tar.
He thought that the captain was still on the rooftop and had no weapons. He always kept people away thousands of miles away on weekdays, like a washed-out landscape painting.
Obviously that person is taller, but he somehow wants to protect him.He himself thought he was crazy.
Jimmy ran to the stairwell, strode up two flights of stairs, and heard footsteps around the corner.The footsteps were originally running down, but turned around and rushed back to the rooftop as if expecting someone to block the way.
Jimmy kicked open the door of the rooftop - the door was ajar at all, immediately revealing the hazy sky, the sun was hiding behind the clouds, and he didn't know when it would come out.
It was clearly in the afternoon, but the sky was extremely dark, and several huge solar water heater storage tanks stood staggered.There are two figures wrestling together.
Jimmy recognized one of them as Rahimi, his colleague at the airport.
"Rahmi! What happened?"
Jimmy rushed up immediately, intending to pull him away, but was kicked in the lower abdomen by the opponent, and fell backwards due to instability.
He regained his center of gravity the moment he staggered, and jumped again with only a single effort. At the same time, he quickly removed the belt around his waist and held it in his hand, becoming a weapon to strangle the opponent.
He has never received serious combat training, but how to make insidious tricks, ruthless hands, and flee for his life in a hurry, he can hardly be regarded as experienced in hundreds of battles.
Jimmy tied Rahimi's neck tightly with an armed belt, and was about to cut him down with a hand knife to incapacitate him.
"Run." He raised his head and shouted in Chinese, but found that the person fighting Rahimi was not the captain.At this moment, he could see clearly that it was another countryman from Y, who didn't look a bit like Ben in appearance - he was neither taller nor handsome than him.
I'm out of my mind, Jimmy thought, and staggered with a self-deprecating laugh between the fights.
Maybe he ran away early, and there is no need to tell me.
Who cares.Just thinking this way, Rahimi broke free from the armed belt with the last of his strength.On the one hand, he grabbed the Coca-Cola pocket with his opponent, and on the other hand, he fired an empty gun to threaten Jimmy not to come closer.
And the other person was not so easy to talk to.
He shot Rahimi directly in the chest, then aimed at Jimmy and fired three times. Jimmy hid behind the three-meter-high water storage tank along the stairs, panting heavily after barely avoiding the attack.
He took out the mini fluorescent bomb that he had treasured for a long time from the left pocket of his jacket, aimed at the man and threw it back.
He could still feel thousands of fireflies flashing in the dark afternoon sky with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes again, he pulled out his gun and loaded it neatly.
If today is the day, if you want him to pull down the curtain and kick open the gate of hell, break in and set a fire on fire for three days and three nights, that's fine.Anyway, these three years of waiting are always for a moment to see the light of day.Regardless of its evil will be rewarded with evil, even if it kills people to pay for their lives.
At the last moment, which may only be a ten-thousandth of a second, he thought, it's a good thing the captain is not here.Luckily...the captain didn't see him.
Jimmy didn't have time to pay attention to the sudden opening of the reservoir door behind him before he was dragged out of the water by a wet hand.
The water level was nearly full and deep enough, so he drank a few sips of water before swimming back to the surface.
He breathed greedily in the small space under the lid of the barrel, his eyes were tightly closed to prevent the water from entering and stinging again.
He heard another fight outside, and Rahimi must have been wearing body armor.He heard another person running up to the roof from the stairs to join in, the gunfire died away, and the two sides seemed to be evenly matched.
Jimmy concentrated on analyzing the situation, and when he opened his eyes, he was face to face with the captain.
The captain tugged at two of the three grooves on the top of the water tank with both hands, and Jimmy tugged at the last one.He glared at him, but the captain actually smiled slightly, laughing away his suspicions.
"Someone is coming." He moved his lips and said silently.
They are probably dying!LOL! Jimmy really wanted to block the red lips and white teeth in front of his eyes, but he couldn't do it.His hand holding the gun is aiming at the battle position underwater, ready to break out of the encirclement at any time.
The diameter of the water tank is only enough for two people to hide upright, but the depth is more than three meters. Jimmy only feels that he is sinking, and the left hand has blood marks, and even the metal in the groove seems to be twisted. shape.
He couldn't let go, he couldn't sink to the bottom and make a sound to reveal their position, and he couldn't die.He still had work to do in Thar.
While paying attention to the progress of the fighting outside with his ears upright, he came up with an idea to divert his attention:
"Hey...your name—what—?" He also moved his lips silently, and asked the captain: "Your—name—"
The captain didn't answer. Seeing his struggling face, he frowned unconsciously.He took a deep breath, and—
Jimmy felt the captain's knee squeeze between his legs, and the captain's hands took his hips, pulling him toward him.Immediately afterwards, the captain hooked his legs and gently tapped his knees, indicating that his legs were wrapped around his waist.
He did as he did, hanging on the captain like a koala, his left hand still holding the gun underwater, firmly against the wall of the water storage tank.
This pose...
He stared straight at the captain, who turned his head away, expressionless.
Do you mean sorry?
The captain's whole body was soaked, even the eyelashes were dripping with water, but his body was clearly hot——his broad chest was hot, his hands holding his hips were hot, and they were tight The places where they are close together and where even the water cannot cut through the gap are always hot.
As soon as Jimmy hooked the captain's waist, he felt him through the uniform pants, from cold to hot, and he himself hardened almost instantly.
The hard object pressed hard against him through the captain's jeans, but it didn't seem to be threatening or plotting—it was just expressing desire in full force on the unexpected intersecting trajectories of the two planets.
How could Jimmy not feel that...the captain didn't reject him either.
The sound of his heartbeat was about to break through the bones, skin and skin, into the water and then into the captain's heart, but he didn't do anything.
He just rested his chin on the other's shoulder, panting slowly.
The captain's side face was well-defined, a drop of water slid down his nose bridge like a mountain peak, and landed on his lips like spring water. Jimmy turned at an angle and whispered in his ear:
"Your colleague sells arms, don't tell me you don't know."
The captain was just silent.
Jimmy was about to let go, but he pulled him into his embrace with even stronger force, like a long-overdue reunion, but they clearly only saw each other for the third time.
"Stay here." The captain ordered coldly.
"You people, don't treat the Tal people as human beings, do you know how many people died with that candy? You don't care at all, do you? Fuck..."
"It's not a good person who carries a gun with him." The captain replied indifferently, and glanced down at Jimmy's hand holding the gun tightly in the water.
Several gunshots were heard one after another on the rooftop, and there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, followed by screams of pain.Someone got shot, someone got their wish.The remaining people seemed to treasure the bullets and began to fight hand-to-hand.The knife made an ominous sound of gold and stone across the water storage tank.
Jimmy's whole body tensed up, the trigger under his index finger ready to be pulled.
"Thanks." He suddenly heard the captain say.
"What the hell?"
"We flew three airports and didn't give us a chance to land. Thanks...Jimmy."
Jimmy rested his head on the captain's shoulder and listened slowly.The strength drained from him little by little, and he felt that the captain was about to lose his grip and let go. He was trying to divert his attention.
"Indeed, you shouldn't jump in the queue. But my passenger is the deputy minister of construction of country Z. If this cooperation agreement is reached, Tal will be able to access the asphalt road."
It was the first time Jimmy had heard him say the name "Tal".
Taal... paved roads, broad avenues, peace?wealth?happiness?
Will one day Taal be like the city called Las Vegas in the great desert of the United States, always brightly lit and shining forever?
Jimmy pushed the pilot and let go.
He fell into the water with a plop, opened his eyes, and sank slowly to the bottom.
This probably took tens of seconds.
The water was pitch black, with only a few bits of moonlight and stars floating on the top—this was probably his dream. In the dream, he reunited with the captain in that nightless casino.
By the time he woke up from his dream and floated to the surface, he might have already passed half his life.I saw the captain's wet eyes staring at him, and this time his eyes were finally dyed with some color - it was worried, worried and hot.
"Thank you? Just move your mouth and it's over?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows, holding the gun in one hand and holding the groove of the water storage tank in the other, trying to spit out the wet lock of hair in his mouth, and said "peh pee" to the captain for a long time .
As soon as the words were finished, the captain's hands holding the grooves suddenly exerted force, and the whole person approached Jimmy, then his lips moved to the side of his face, and the tip of his tongue brushed away the hair.
The hot tongue rubbed against the tip of Jimmy's nose, the left half of his cheek, and the corner of his eyes, causing him to close his eyes.When it was opened again, it seemed to be branded by fire.
This is a veritable move of the mouth.
After doing this, the captain turned his head away from looking at him, and said flatly, "It's even."
Blushed? Jimmy looked at him incredulously—they'd been holding each other for so many minutes, and now the captain just kissed him and blushed?
Are you blushing now?
In the back of Jimmy's mind, they weren't even.Because he doesn't know his name yet.
"K862, what's your name?"
Before he could answer, a gunshot pierced through the water storage tank first, and the bullet swept against the captain's back, piercing through the zinc plate of the water storage tank.Water gushes out from the two holes in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a series of bullets quickly swept across all the buckets within the shooting range on the roof, and someone ran down the roof in a panic. The gunshots chased the fleeing people, and soon there was no movement.
Jimmy waited for a long time, but there was no human voice.
Everyone is gone?
In the outlet pipe they were in, the water level dropped lower and lower, and finally both of them stepped on solid ground.The bullet holes left by their lives hanging by a thread just now are right in front of their eyes at this moment, shiningly reminding them of the thrilling experience they spent together.
"You're right." The captain said suddenly, his eyes looked at the bullet hole, but he looked at the sun at the end of the desert through the small hole.
The most unbearable heat wave of the day has gradually subsided. "The most beautiful thing in my life." He said slowly.
After waiting for a while, Jimmy was sure that the two groups of people would not return, and then he knocked on the bolt of the side door of the water storage tank with the butt of his gun and let them out.
The night has covered the sky at some point, and the desert is under the clouds, like gold covered by dark blue velvet.
All wars, injustice, life and death, at this moment are as far away as a sensational old movie.The lovers meet for dinner under the curtain of an open-air cinema, raise a glass of champagne, and say a word or two to each other.
They stood on the roof, soaked from top to bottom.The captain hesitated to speak, and Jimmy asked him what he wanted to say.
"What kind of ammunition did you say my colleague was selling? What kind of candy?"
"Uraniam." Jimmy held back his smile, "Uraniam."
Before leaving, Jimmy handed his gun to the captain.That is an air pistol|gun, which can hurt but not kill.
"I'm bluffing, I'll see you off. Do you want to watch martial arts?" Jimmy continued on his own: "The new young people in the border town are either here for revenge or to chase after their lover. In any case, you need a weapon."
Unexpectedly, the captain smiled: "I am no longer a young man."
The next day, pretend to go to work as usual.
Jimmy's jeep was returned by his friend, and he drove towards the airport clamoring all the way.But the crew members arrived earlier than him and had already passed the security check and waited in the lounge.He slowly walked to the big screen in the central control room.
The milk tea brought by Aunt Aruna seems to have added a little bit of sugar, which makes her feel nauseous.He took two sips, drank some cold water, and finally drank the milk tea in one gulp.The stomach is sweet, but the heart seems to be soaked in tea, a bit bitter.
K862 departed for country K today, where the runway damaged by the earthquake has been refilled and leveled.
Jimmy couldn't control his hand holding the mouse, and applied to check the crew information of Air China Flight 862 of Country K.
The name of "Ji Yuanyuan" popped up on the screen instantly, the co-pilot who looked like Lin Chiling.So... what about the captain?
Jimmy thinks that the British have always been unable to distinguish between oriental beauties, thousands of people all look the same, but he knows that the captain is the best-looking captain he has ever seen, bar none.He's not like this usually, he's never been like this before, he's only been acquainted with someone for two days, but he can't forget it——
With slender legs and tight waist muscles, the captain got off the reloaded helicopter, and in the deafening roar of the end of the world, turned the ruined airport in Thar into Thar Fashion Week.
His hair is a bit curly, with a bit of gray that shouldn't be in his 30s, and he is charming.
The captain was as cold as ice when he was not smiling, but only for a moment when he smiled, his eyes were slightly curved, like a white rabbit who got candy.Even if he had thousands of pieces of candy, he was willing to give it all to him with both hands.
This is the captain, Jimmy found out on the aviation system that his name is Lin Mu.
The verdant forests are unshakable, facing the wind and the morning mist.
He was the scarcest thing in the desert, Jimmy thought, if only trees could grow here.
Aunt Aruna didn't give him some tikka today - he asked her to order it, but she said that the dye was used up, and her daughter went to the city to do errands and brought back the new pink color of cherry blossoms, which will arrive next month.
Maybe today is not destined to be a lucky day. Jimmy checks ground winds, visibility, runway conditions and finds everything is even better than usual.
How much he hoped that the weather would turn bad suddenly, the storm would be accompanied by hail, the sky would be full of fog, and there would be torrents and mudslides. In short, due to Jimmy's personal feelings, Taal would not be peaceful today.
But he still sat in front of the screen, staring at K862, and slowly slid onto the runway.
Ten, nine, eight...
Jimmy: "K862, cleared for takeoff."
Captain: "Enter the takeoff procedure, K862."
Seven, six, five...
Jimmy: "K862, taxi to runway one."
Captain: "Taxi to runway one, K862."
Four, three, two...
Jimmy repented inwardly.
If there is a God, he has never been so eager for God to take his wishes seriously.He was wrong just now, he was terribly wrong, now that things have come to an end, he only hopes that the weather will be beautiful, country K will be peaceful, and everyone will always be happy in flight after flight.
Even if it means that no one will make an emergency landing in Thar again.
His trees fly to the sky.
After get off work, even Aunt Aruna noticed Jimmy's unusual reticence.
She didn't make milk tea this time, but conjured up a piece of paper dipped in gold powder out of nowhere. The four corners of the paper were the lines of miniature paintings, which someone copied with great effort.And on the paper was written a poem, which was translated from Persian by the governor during the colonial period:
"Long sigh, the spring day must die with the rose,
And the chapter of youth and sweetness is also closed.
The nightingale sings on the branches,
When the flowers will reopen is unknown.
The love of the rest of my life, fate conspired to make you and me,
Tighten this apologetic plot thoroughly.
But it should be smashed to pieces,
Reassemble again, close to your desire in my heart.
The moon of my joy, not yet full,
And the moon of heaven is rising again.
How far she shall see in vain,
This usual garden loses me and still lives forever. "
Facing this beautiful paper, Jimmy was silent for a while.When he was about to say thank you, Aunt Aruna waved her hand, saying that it was to thank him for teaching her little daughter homework last weekend, and walked away with the teapot and cup.
"Don't you Chinese have a saying? Are there any beautiful girls under the sky?" Aunt Aruna poured frost on the snow, "I don't think the co-pilot is better than our Nina. Our Nina is on board After entering university, she also wants to learn to fly..."
Jimmy took the paper, smiled and laughed, and nodded in agreement.
When I got home, the sheep hadn't slept yet.Seeing him open the door, she gave him a rare good face and kicked the slippers to the door for him. Jimmy stepped on the pair of New Zealand wool slippers slowly, without any discomfort.
While waiting for the tea water to boil, he heard the buzzing of the electric stove, he suddenly raised his head and stared out the window, thinking of the trees.
He once said "the most beautiful in my life."
Is it sunset?Is it Tal?Is it a bullet hole in the roof?
Jimmy can't control that much anymore.When the water boiled, he murmured: Life is too short. "
He thought, anyway, the captain couldn't hear him, so he said into the air: "But I would like to accompany you on a night flight westward."
The author has something to say:
The captain will hear later!
