Hu Yongrui looked at Lin Yi, his face filled with a hint of unspeakable sadness.

That night, he also didn't sleep well. Even though he saw Lin Yi's power with his own eyes, he had the idea of ​​​​keeping a respectful distance and not becoming an enemy. However, he always thought of Wu Shilan accompanying this guy named Lin Yi all over the world.

School still makes Hu Yongrui feel a little unspeakably astringent in his heart.

Just like the girl you dreamed of in your youth, you finally chose someone else, even if this person is extremely good. While you feel lucky for the girl, you are inevitably a little disappointed because after all, that person is not you.

"It's my honor."

Lin Yi nodded, he really didn't think too much before.

I thought that a girl with Wu Shilan's free and easy personality would probably have many friends, and things like visiting campus would probably be normal.

Hu Yongrui said no more words.

The Jingzhou Military Region Sanatorium is still some distance away from the Jingnan Military Region, just where the urban and suburban areas of Jingzhou City meet.

Looking around, one side is lined with high-rise buildings in the city, and the other side is an entire wheat field. The sanatorium is in the middle, with a row of courtyards built with green hills and green tiles.

These courtyards are separated from the main roads by walls, giving them a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. Outside the courtyards, you can see some patrolling people in their twenties and thirties from time to time. On the surface, they look like many

It's ordinary, but if you taste it carefully, you can detect a bit of sharpness in their eyes.

"This is the Jingzhou Military Region Sanatorium. Most of the people living here are veteran cadres who have retired from the military region. Please stay with me and don't wander around. Otherwise, it will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Hu Yongrui walked forward, while

Instructions.

As they walked inside, the patrolmen glanced this way, saw Hu Yongrui walking in front, and greeted him, and they looked very familiar.

"The Wu family is in the innermost place, on the other side against the mountain. The old man of the Wu family has lived in Yanjing before and has always liked big banyan trees. However, the area south of Beijing cannot support the big banyan trees like those in the north, so the old man is leaning against the mountain.

I made a lot of potted plants.”

The further he walked in, the more nervous Hu Yongrui became.

Although the Hu family and the Wu family had some interactions in the past, Hu Yongrui's reputation in the circle has never been good. For example, Wu Zhanjun and others like to hang out, but they finally accepted the assessment of the Tigers' special forces and became Tigers.

The reserve force was regarded as a glorious departure from Jingnan.

But Hu Yongrui was different. He didn't naturally want to be a soldier. In the eyes of an older generation of soldiers like Mr. Wu, he was somewhat unlike a man.

Along the way, you can see many white-haired old people, most of them look leisurely, and occasionally a few say hello to Hu Yongrui.

Not long after walking inward, Hu Yongrui stopped. In front of him was a high-walled courtyard. Different from the single-family villa of Su Yuantian of the Su family, the courtyard in front of him was more like the courtyard structure of the last century. The house was a bit old, and the outside was

The stone wall also has some signs of dispute.

"This is it. Don't talk nonsense later."

Hu Yongrui warned, then took a deep breath, reached out his hand, and knocked on the door in front of him.

"Who?"

There was a knock on the door, and soon people's voices were heard in the courtyard.

"Auntie, it's me, Hu Yongrui!"

Hu Yongrui shouted loudly.

Not long after, the door opened and a woman was revealed.

The woman looks about forty years old, and between her eyebrows, she does have a slight resemblance to Wu Shilan.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hu Yongrui outside. She looked around and smiled: "Why are you here? I haven't been here for a long time."

"Weren't you afraid of coming here when you were a child? Are you braver today?"

Hearing the woman's words, Hu Yongrui immediately scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's right, I haven't seen Shilan go to school these days, so I came to see her, afraid that something would happen to her."

"Oh, this is really rare." When the woman heard this, although there was still a bit of a smile on her face, a bit of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

When they were young, Hu Yongrui and Wu Shilan grew up in the same courtyard, but women also understood what kind of person Hu Yongrui was. In the past, he had never had the courage to come to Wu's house to find Wu Shilan, not to mention that Mrs. Wu was right

Hu Yongrui, who has been determined not to be a soldier since he was a child, doesn't have much favorable impressions of him. Wu Zhanjun alone, the maniac who protects his sister, often pinned Hu Yongrui to the ground and beat him.

Now when she suddenly saw Hu Yongrui coming to her door, the woman suddenly felt strange.

While she was talking, she also glanced at another young man standing next to Hu Yongrui. He seemed to be about the same age as Hu Yongrui. He might be a classmate or something, and was pulled over by Hu Yongrui to strengthen his courage.

With this thought, the woman no longer looked at Lin Yi any more.

She looked at Hu Yongrui and thought for a moment: "I don't know if Shi Lan will come back today, why don't you come in and wait? It just so happens that you haven't been here for a long time."

Hearing this, Hu Yongrui was startled, and hesitantly glanced at Lin Yi standing next to him.

When he saw Lin Yi nodded slightly, he quickly responded: "It just so happens that I haven't seen Uncle Wu for a long time."

This scene did not escape the woman's eyes, but she didn't think much about it. She turned around and led Hu Yongrui and Lin Yi in.

Inside the door, the ground in the front yard is paved with gray-brown slate tiles. When you step on it, it gives people a cool feeling. It seems that the bricks are made with special techniques, which makes them warm in winter and cool in summer.

function.

There are many accompanying flowers in the yard, but it is almost late winter, and only a few flowers are still blooming.

Walking to the front and arriving at the main hall, the woman asked Hu Yongrui and Lin Yi to sit down.

"Do you want tea or drinks?"

"Anything is fine, I can do it myself."

Hu Yongrui stood up and made two cups of tea, gave one cup and placed it next to Lin Yi.

In the main hall, there is a landscape painting hanging on the wall. It depicts the war and the fierce fighting. At first glance, it seems to be quite passionate. The solid wood tables and chairs placed in the room seem to be a bit old.

, there is also an incense burner placed in the middle hall, with wisps of sandalwood burning in the burner.

"You wait here for a while, I'll call your Uncle Wu to come out." The woman smiled and walked towards the back of the hall.

As soon as she left, Hu Yongrui suddenly felt much more at ease. He took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Yi and said, "Uncle Wu's name is Wu Zhihan, and he is currently in charge of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Jingzhou City."
