Chapter 18: I forgot

The place to eat was selected in a fairly good restaurant
Luxury residence.
Not only the name is elegant and retro, but the decoration inside is also antique. Even the name of the dish is written on a piece of bamboo and hung on the wall of the cash register in the lobby. It is quite a bit like the restaurant in ancient times.
Far from the bustling hustle and bustle of the city center, and the simplicity and quietness of the suburbs, it makes people feel like returning to the countryside and feel very comfortable.
The place was picked by Liu Yanbo. As an old driver who had been in the sea for three years, he ran through all the streets and alleys all day. I dare not say anything else, but I wanted to find a more affordable and affordable one. The place to eat is a trivial matter.
Liu Yanbo and colleagues have been to this restaurant before, and consumption is fairly normal. Seven or eight people eat a meal at sea, which is only two or three thousand. This is a rare city in this country where the land is more expensive than the gold. Conscience seller at first sight.
This is not Liu Yanbo's stingy, he also wants to take Bai Bin to eat in a truly high-end high-end restaurant, showing the character of a local tyrant, but he is a poor man, and he has less than 10,000 yuan in total. Otherwise, he could only use egg noodles as his landlord.
In the box, Shangguan Qingmeng was drinking wine with Bai Bin ’s comrades and had a great drink.
Yin Hanruo also had a few drinks and occasionally took a few words with a smile and became approachable.
Bai Bin didn't drink. From the beginning of the table, he has been staring at Liu Yanbo steadily, as if afraid of blinking himself, the person who has disappeared for 13 years before him disappears again.
"Let's go! Let's talk alone?" Liu Yanbo asked casually, and without waiting for Bai Bin to reply, he got up and walked directly to the balcony.
This is the humanized design of this restaurant. Each private room has an independent small balcony, people who drink too much can blow and wake up, then continue to drink and continue to consume.
"Try it!" Liu Yanbo leaned on the railing, took out a small jug from his pocket and handed it to Bai Bin.
Bai Bin shook his head and said seriously: "I won't drink with you until you have answered my question."
"Try it! You will like this wine." Liu Yanbo tucked the flask into Bai Bin's hands, looking up at the starry sky and to the unknown distance.
Bai Bin looked at Liu Yanbo, then looked at the hip flask in his hand, and slowly unscrewed the lid.
Liquor is hard liquor, and the lid unscrews, and the strong wine smells sharply. Bai Bin's complexion changes immediately, first unbelievable, then joyful, and finally sad. He held the jug tightly and his voice trembled: " This ... this is the wine made by Uncle San? "
Cough ~
Bloating throat and heartburn, the familiar taste, Bai Bin took a big sip, and choked tears.
"The taste hasn't changed? It's made by me, according to the method of the three uncles." Liu Yanbo looked up, so that he could not see his face or his red eyes.
Bai Bin grabbed the hip flask tightly in his hand and squatted slowly. The other hand propped on the ground, tears brushed down, and choked: "No change, no change at all."
Since Liu Yanbo and the two of them walked alone to the balcony, the people in the box kept watching, and no one heard what they said through the glass door, but Yin Hanruo saw that in just a few minutes, Bai Bin is close to collapse.
"Xiaoxue, don't go, it's useless." The girl who came with Bai Bin and them quickly got up and tried to comfort and persuade, but was pulled by Yin Hanruo who was sitting next to her.
Bai Bin's comrades also echoed: "Sister Xue, you can't get involved in this matter."
……
"Bin Shao, stand up!" Liu Yanbo looked at Bai Bin, patted his shoulder gently with his hand, and sighed, "Don't let people look at jokes!"
Bai Bin didn't speak, but his mouth was open, and he cried silently. At this moment, the bravest warrior of this republic, like a helpless child, is in pain.
Liu Yanbo no longer manages Bai Bin. He takes care of himself and sets up a cigarette. He sprays a thick smoke and said: "Bin Shao, you have been very good since you were a child. It's your parents' pride to jump continuously. Do you remember? That year you were specially recruited by the army. Before you went to the village, there was a big banquet in the village, which was more lively than the New Year. Everyone is afraid that you will be looked down upon at the military school. Your mother and several uncles have helped you several nights. The new foreign clothes made me and Tan Shao envy you for a long time. "
Liu Yanbo smoked again, paused a little, and continued, "We are so remote, there is no source of income, you know that, but you were growing up at that time, and you might not eat well after going to the military academy. Your dad goes to town and remits you a sum of money every month. You should guess where the money came from? Yes, the people in the whole village saved their money. "
"Don't you dare to forget these?" At the end, Liu Yanbo's eyes have become extremely sharp: "Don't forget, you are not living for yourself, you are carrying everyone's hope, so , Put away your weakness, Qinghezhuang's face, you can't lose it, and you're not eligible to lose it. "
Words and sentences, plunged into Bai Bin's heart like a sharp knife, his face became more distorted and painful, he struggled, holding the railing to stand up slowly, raised his head and raised his chest, straight as a pole against the wind Javelin, said loudly: "I did not forget, nor dare to forget."
Liu Yanbo patted Bai Bin's shoulder hard, his eyes softened, looking at the starry sky in the distance, and asked lightly: "Bin Shao, so many years, have you been back?"
"I've been back, and every year I will take time to go back. I can't let people say that Qinghezhuang has already succumbed to his grandson!" Bai Bin wiped away his tears, and also looked at the starry sky in the distance. "
What a warm thing to go home.
But Liu Yanbo's home was destroyed. He watched his parents, neighbors, and partners die in front of him one by one, and watched the former laughter-filled homeland turn into a mortal hell.
What kind of feeling was that?
Probably only experienced people will understand!
Liu Yanbo shook his head and smiled desolately, "I dare not."
Bai Bin looked at Liu Yanbo, no blame, only distressed, silently handed the hip flask.
Liu Yanbo took two sips from the jug and lit a cigarette and said, "Bin Shao, you are doing very well. Everyone should feel very relieved to see you now. You did not let them down."
Bai Bin, 31 years old, rank of lieutenant colonel, trump card of "Dragon War", the bravest warrior of the Republic, defending the country and defending the country for more than ten years, has made countless contributions, and has received several personal awards from the top leaders.
How can such a great man stand up to disappointment?
"No!" Bai Bin said firmly: "Everyone is blaming me, my elder brother is like a father, but I haven't taken care of you."
Liu Yanbo sighed: "How can I blame you! It is my own choice."
"In those days, why didn't you come to me?"
The question has returned to its original point. This question has always haunted Bai Bin's heart. It is the concern that he can't let down, but also his obsession.
"I was also infected with the plague at that time, I don't know why I survived, and I'm not sure how long I can live. Is there an incubation period? You are everyone's hope, I can't take risks."
Liu Yanbo spoke lightly, but Bai Bin heard tears.
The 13-year-old child endured the torture of the plague and suffered the pain of losing his relatives and friends. He wandered alone on the horizon, maybe he fought with the wild dog for food, maybe he slept in the wind and rain ...
No one knows what he has experienced?
But Bai Bin knew that Liu Yanbo would never be alive.
"Where did you go?"
Liu Yanbo closed his eyes and opened his hands, the faint words dissipated in the breeze.
"I forgot…"
