The prison gate was opened with a bang, and a haggard woman walked out.
The cold wind penetrated her thin clothes.
Seven years in prison had ravaged her to the point of being emaciated. Her once beautiful face was now dull and yellow, like a dead rose that had lost all its color and moisture, becoming a dried flower.
Dark clouds, drizzling rain, and a biting cold wind.
After regaining her freedom, she didn't know where to go, who to see, or what to do...
No one came to pick her up.
She deserves it.
She walked aimlessly for an unknown amount of time before a police car stopped beside her.
She stopped.
A policeman got out of the police car and saluted her. She looked up and looked for a long time before she recognized him.
"Yes, it's Xu Yi..."
"Sister-in-law! Get in the car and talk!"
She struggled to get on the bus, her eyes dull as she looked at Xu Yi who was sitting next to her and asked, "Xu Yi, have you changed your job?"
How many years ago was it when you last saw him?
She couldn't remember clearly, but in her impression, he was the youngest soldier in the Blood Wolf Special Forces Brigade and the one he respected the most.
he……
The image of the devil instructor in camouflage uniform, black beret and loudspeaker in hand emerged in her mind. She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She lowered her head and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She actually had tears in her eyes, and those tears were shed for Lu Beixiao.
Lu Beixiao...
Her deceased husband of seven years.
"Sister-in-law, I have been demobilized for two or three years!" Xu Yi said, seeing her shoulders shaking and crying.
"Don't be sad. Now that you are out, live a good life. You are still young. Cherish the real estate and property that Captain Lu left for you. At worst, you can start over again!" Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
Seven years ago, Lu Beixiao had just died and she was arrested by the procuratorate.
Xu Yi's words made her even more miserable. She felt sorry for that person. She felt sorry for him!
"Sister-in-law, this is the last words Captain Lu wrote before he carried out his mission. He has kept it in the Special Forces Brigade, so I have the opportunity to pass it to you now." Xu Yi said, taking out an envelope from his pocket and handing it to her.
Her eyes were blurred with tears and she stared at the envelope in a daze.
"We in the special forces brigade have a habit of writing a will before every mission. Captain Lu was an invincible soldier and was too proud to write one. But that time, he wrote his will seriously... and it really became his will." Xu Yi's voice was a little hoarse, like a storyteller telling a sad story.
Her skinny hands trembled as she took the envelope...
——
Martyrs' Cemetery
Her eyes were fixed on the photo on the tombstone, and her fingers gently stroked the resolute face that was carved like a knife, as if he was right in front of her.
"When you were alive, I didn't cherish you well... I deserve to die. I didn't listen to you, but believed Li Yun, Shen Xichuan and others, and they caused me to be thrown into jail..." Her voice was trembling.
He "looked" at her expressionlessly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, laughing at her stupidity.
However, how could Lu Beixiao, who loved her like his life, bear to laugh at her...
It was only just now that she realized how deep his love for her was.
"I'm not worthy... not worthy of your love! Lu Beixiao! How can you make me... feel so embarrassed?! How can I... have the face to live on?!" She knelt down, her head resting on the small photo, her arms hugging the tombstone, crying.
In his last words, he said: Ye Qiao, live well! I bought you the waterside courtyard you loved. If you want, you can live there. If not, I'll rent it out as an inn. If we meet again in the next life, you must fall in love at first sight, understand?! Don't be so blind as to fall in love with a scumbag! In the next life, I will continue to love you!
