Both He Jian and Zina have not seen Wu Fangge for many years, especially He Jian. It is also a fateful friendship. Logically speaking, they should get together more often, but there are many things that cannot be delayed. Fortunately, since we have already
Once we have a cooperative relationship, there will naturally be many opportunities to meet each other in the future, so we don’t have to pay too much attention to this momentary gathering. Therefore, even though there is a little regret, we still have to look further ahead.
Wu Fangge originally planned to send He Jianda to the Sino-Russian border, but suddenly there was news about other old comrades, and it was not good, so he had to give up the previous plan and did not tell He Jian, because once He Jian knew about it,
The time to go to Russia will inevitably be postponed.
The old comrade-in-arms ‘madman’ is really crazy
When he was discharged from the army, Madman was considered a relatively lucky guy. His hometown city had just caught up with the expansion of the city. When he was discharged from the army, he was transferred to a state-owned enterprise and was assigned to a state-owned enterprise according to the treatment of urban soldiers. He also fell in love with a college student. It was a pity for fate.
Just teasing, just getting married
On the eve of , a car accident turned a happy event into a funeral, killing two people. The madman could not bear the blow. He paranoidly believed that this was retribution for killing too many people on the battlefield, so he ran away from home after the funeral.
When his family found him a few years later, he was already crazy.
He's so crazy that it's not scary at all. Everyone was scared at first. After all, he is also a strictly trained scout. He is a killing machine. If he goes crazy, who can stop him? But his madness is actually right.
For him, it means that time has stopped, or that he has embarked on another development path.
In the world, he did not retire from the army that year, but stayed in the army. Since he is still in the army, then the next trouble has never happened. In the mental hospital, he lived like a military camp, doing housework,
During drills and training, doctors are called military doctors, and they often complain about how the army's quilts have turned white.
After He Jian was sent away in a hurry, Wu Fangge rushed to the madman's hometown overnight and arrived at the mental hospital first, but the madman had already been discharged. Wu Fangge came to his home again, and the madman actually recognized him and punched him when he came up.
Said: "You kid, you stopped writing to me once you were discharged from the army. How come you still know how to come and see me?"
Wu Fangge saw that he was much more haggard than before, the furnishings at home were not very good, and the clothes were only those of his father who was crazy about military uniforms. Mr. Zheng told him: "He doesn't wear any other clothes, just the military uniform...
…When I see someone with a military rank outside, I salute anyone with a higher military rank than him and ask for assignments. I really don’t know what to do.”
When the madman said goodbye, he also said to Wu Fangge: "Although you have retired from the army, the superiors like you. Go and talk to me and assign me a task. Although I am a combat hero, you can't always let me take family leave."
Ah, I have always dreamed of returning to the army."
The more Wu Fangge looked at it, the more he felt sad. After he came back, he consulted several psychiatric experts to consult with the madman. As a result, the experts said: "If the disease is not cured, it must be treated slowly. When will this twist in his mind turn around?"
, he’ll be fine, but it’s best to just follow him now.”
Mr. Zheng was troubled when he heard this: Go along? How can I go along? Is it possible that I created a military camp for my son? Even if I want, the country will not allow it.
Wu Fangge also spent several days thinking about this, but he couldn't think of any solution. He had a habit in recent years of going back to Yunnan to visit Wei Yan's tomb whenever he encountered difficulties or things that didn't go well.
, after staying nearby for a few days, my mood will gradually improve. Now I am encountering a difficult problem again. I was thinking of going to Yunnan for a trip, but suddenly an idea flashed and a solution popped into my head.
After thinking about it, Wu Fangge felt that this idea was feasible, and went to consult an expert. The expert also thought that he could give it a try, but it would be best to have a doctor follow him. So Wu Fangge told Mr. Zheng about this method and explained that it would be necessary.
If you do this, you will have to leave your hometown. Seeing that not only his son was saved, but also the whole family had a good job to go to, Mr. Zheng naturally did not refuse. He just said politely: "What a shame, I have to trouble you again. I have already troubled you a lot."
"
Wu Fangge said: "Zheng Changren and I are good comrades-in-arms. Without them, I would not be alive today."
It turned out that Wu Fangge often went to Yunnan to sweep graves, and he had a good relationship with the owner of a small shop near the martyrs' cemetery. The market also left some capital, and only asked them to take care of the families of martyrs who came to sweep the graves and lived in poverty. That's it. Although that shop
The shopkeepers changed several times, but the tradition was preserved. It’s just that the character of the last shopkeeper was not as good as the previous ones. He often took Wu Fangge’s money. Wu Fangge didn’t care how much money was squandered, but when he saw the families of his comrades who really needed help
But he couldn't get help, so he demolished the store in anger. It happened that one of his subordinates who was in the nursing home came to work part-time as a grave sweeper, so Wu Fangge hired him as a manager and opened another store near the border.
I also hired my old comrades from back then to work on the business hotel. I only came here a few times a year to check the accounts. I didn’t expect to make any money, just make a loss. Unexpectedly, this small shop has now become a business hotel.
A haven for madmen
After discussing it with Mr. Zheng, Wu Fangge hired a medical school graduate who seemed very practical and had the right major, and then he set off for Yunnan first, agreeing that Mr. Zheng and his family would move to Yunnan three months later.
When Wu Fangge returned to Yunnan, he naturally had to visit the graves of Wei Yan and his former comrades. He had already become familiar with the people in the Martyrs Cemetery Management Office. This time he did some unblocking work, and then returned to the small inn he opened.
, immediately hired someone to renovate it, and everything looked like a military camp.
It's time for the signboard to be called 'Reception Office for Martyrs' Families'. In fact, this is just a false name. It's essentially an inn. But just because of this very 'regular official' name, he spent a lot of extra money to manage this period.
, Wu Fangge traveled between Yunnan, Guangzhou and Hualong. He was simply exhausted.
When the decoration was almost completed, another distinguished guest, Liu Minghui, also came. As soon as he arrived, he complained about Wu Fangge: "We are not soldiers now, and we are pretending to be soldiers when we do this."
Wu Fangge said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I have smoothed the relationship with the local military division, and we are not completely fake. There are still reserves hanging around, even if they are not, for these old comrades who have been through life and death.
, I have to do something no matter what.”
Liu Minghui also smiled and said: "You are the only one with many clever ideas, but thanks to you, you didn't get rich in vain. You still remember these brothers. That's why I can help you."
As a result, on the day the madman's family arrived, Liu Minghui, Wu Fangge and several other hired personnel were wearing military uniforms designed by Hualong. (Originally, these were used to promote products to tourists and were used as 'uniform temptations'. Another function was
Sold to military fans) waiting at the door
After Liu Minghui changed his job, he had some hair loss. The imitation military uniform was tight and didn't fit well. He pulled down the hem and asked Wu Fangge worriedly: "I said Fangge, are you good at this? He is originally a
Patient, don’t make us more nervous.”
Wu Fangge was unsure, but he couldn't show it, so he had to pretend to be confident and said: "This plan is approved by psychiatric experts, so it should be fine."
Liu Minghui muttered: "Experts often deceive people now..."
Seeing the madman coming from a distance, Wu Fangge made a gesture, and a group of girls and boys started beating gongs and drums. Liu Minghui walked over. The madman didn't recognize Liu Minghui at first, but when he saw the stars on his shoulders, he hurriedly said:
"Hello, Chief!"
After Liu Minghui returned the gift, he shook hands with him cordially and said: "Oh, Comrade Zheng Changren, I have finally come to you. It is not easy to mobilize you. I have already worn out my words to the commander. Hurry up.
Come on, the cooking team has prepared meals. Let’s go in and eat and talk.”
Seeing that Wu Fangge was also wearing a military uniform, the lunatic asked him quietly: "Didn't you retire from the army? Why are you here?"
Wu Fangge said mysteriously: "Do you think the country will let us experienced veterans go easily? There are more important tasks waiting for us."
The lunatic looked at the military uniform on his body again and asked: "This uniform is not quite right."
Wu Fangge said: "Nonsense! Can the People's Liberation Army's uniforms be the same as those of the Armed Police? Can the Army's uniforms be the same as those of the Air Force? We are not the same branch as before. This is a special force with special tasks. I think you have scouted one.
The detective is confused”
The madman stuck out his tongue and said: "Knock on me, my visit last time was too long. I thought the army didn't want me anymore. Oh... tell me..." As he said this, he glanced at Liu Minghui's back.
Then he asked: "You came early. Do you know what the leader's mission was for sending me here?"
Wu Fangge scolded again: "That leader? That was Director Liu who Xiaoqian was referring to at the beginning. What kind of brain do you have?"
The madman smiled awkwardly and knocked on his head repeatedly. Wu Fangge stopped him and said, "Stop knocking. The more you knock, the crazier you will become and the less you will remember anything. When Director Liu... Director Liu is now Director Liu, Director Liu will not give you the task."
"
The lunatic then asked with a stern face what the mission was. Wu Fangge deliberately hesitated for a long time as if he was afraid of leaking the secret in advance, and finally said: "This time, I may appoint him as the deputy director of the reception station."
The lunatic was stunned when he heard this: "I am not a cadre, not an officer."
Wu Fangge said: "But you are a non-commissioned officer, and the chief executive of the company is not a non-commissioned officer?"
The madman said reluctantly: "I thought it was a combat mission, but this logistics mission..."
"What do you think!" Wu Fangge deliberately said with a full tone: "So many comrades are buried there, our reception station is responsible for their relatives to eat, drink and live well. Such an important task, ordinary people have to do it, but the troops still have to do it.
I’m not worried”
After saying that, he entered the hall. It used to be a restaurant, but now it is called a canteen. Liu Minghui shouted there: "What are you two doing? Are you procrastinating and looking a bit like a soldier? Get out of here quickly.
come over!"
The lunatic smiled broadly and said to Wu Fangge: "I didn't know before that Director Liu can also curse people."
