Chapter 4 Part Three: A Big Military Base

As soon as I opened the door of the study, I was startled, because the rainbow fell asleep against the door frame. The sound of my door opening woke her up. She opened her eyes and jumped up: Cousin-in-law, what did you see in his letter? I said in a very understated tone: Rainbow, Yile doesn't seem to like sports, right? Rainbow nodded: Yes, he never mentioned participating in any sports in his letter. I walked forward slowly, and the rainbow followed me.I said again: In his letter, it seems that he never mentioned where he went to play or travel, right? Rainbow nodded. I stood still, and at this moment Bai Su also came out of the room.

I said again: All the letters from Yile to you are about the static side, everything he knows, why he never talked about the dynamic side, such as what he did today, what he did yesterday What, is your letter the same? Rainbow stayed for a long while: Of course not, I often told him what I did, I once told him that I beat all the players in the school, won the table tennis championship, I told him many things. My voice became a little deeper: Rainbow, did you ever wonder why he never mentioned his actions to you? Rainbow stared at me blankly for a while, then said: Cousin-in-law, you mean he

Rainbow didn't seem to know how to word it, or she had already thought of the key point, but because of the shock in her heart, she couldn't speak it out. I caught up: He must have something different from ordinary people, Rainbow, do you understand?Rainbow took a long breath: I see, cousin-in-law, you mean, Yi Le is disabled?He can't move? That's just my guess, rainbow.For fear that Rainbow would be hit too hard, I quickly explained. Rainbow didn't make a sound, just turned around silently and walked forward. She was walking towards a wall. When she was about to hit the wall, I called her and she stood still.

She just stood there, motionless and silent. Bai Su and I looked at each other, and each made a helpless gesture.I have already told Caihong the results I deduced from studying Yile's letter after staying up all night. Of course, that was a terrible blow to Rainbow, and we cannot persuade it. After three to five minutes, Rainbow turned around.To our surprise, the expression on her face didn't look like she had been hit hard, and she was quite cheerful. She said: Yi Le is so stupid, he thinks he is disabled, so I will not love him? This is exactly what I expected last night. I smiled and said nothing. Although Rainbow is only sixteen years old, she is a precocious child. I believe she has the ability to make decisions.

Rainbow said again: He has that kind of inexplicable inferiority complex, I must blame him properly, now, the matter is very simple. Do you have a solution?I ask her. Yes, he refused to come to see me, I will go to see him!Rainbow said very firmly. I'm not surprised that Rainbow would say something like that. However, at this moment, I always felt that I might have made a mistake in my speculation about Yi Le.What exactly was wrong, I can't tell.I just thought that it was Yi Le's own proposal to see the rainbow. The reason why he couldn't make the trip didn't seem to be affected by inferiority complex, but because someone was blocking him.

If he is a disabled person with very low self-esteem, how can he have the courage to say that he wants to see Rainbow? I can't solve this question for now. But when Rainbow said that she was going to see Yi Le, Bai Su couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly said: Cousin, what can I do?Uncle and aunt will not agree first, and your school will not let you ask for leave! However, Rainbow stubbornly said: I don't care, I don't care about anything, I must go to see him, I am not young anymore, I can go to see him.Cousin, thank you for finding the crux of the problem for me!

She waved to us, jumped down the stairs and left. Bai Su sighed: Just watch it, it doesn't take an hour, our place will definitely be lively. I understood what she meant by that, so I just smiled.Bai Su's estimation was very correct, within an hour, Rainbow came back again, her cheeks puffed up, with an awkward look on her face. The one who came with her was Bai Su's uncle, with an angry face, and behind him was Bai Su's aunt, with red nose and swollen eyes, wiping tears. Whenever a daughter becomes extroverted, the parents' reactions are almost the same. The father is angry and the mother is crying.Why do parents always refuse to think about it, a daughter is also a human being, and she also has her own independent opinions?

Bai Su's uncle, when he was young, was a well-known figure in the Thirty-Six Gang. Although he was middle-aged at this time and had been in business for many years, when he got angry, he was still very powerful and coercive. Bai Su and I hurriedly greeted them to sit down. My aunt cried louder and took Bai Su's hand: Look, what do you want me to do?She doesn't want to read anymore, she wants to go to such a far place to see a person named Yi Le, who knows what kind of person this Yi Le is! The uncle yelled loudly: Let her go, let her go if she wants to go, don't come back after going, I don't think I have raised this daughter.

As for Rainbow, she just pursed her lips and remained silent, with a stubborn expression on her face. My aunt cried even more when she heard what my uncle said. Bai Su quietly pulled my sleeve: "Why don't you make a sound?" Originally, I didn't want to take this matter on myself, because love like a rainbow, in the eyes of a moldy person like me, is too fresh. However, the current situation forced me to keep silent and ignore this matter. I sighed: I wonder if you will listen to my solution? My aunt stopped crying, and my uncle's anger faded a little. They all looked at me, and I said, "If you don't let her go to see the rainbow, of course it's not a solution, but she has never traveled far, and there I don't know what the situation is like, but the only way is for me to accompany her, can you rest assured?

As soon as I spoke, my aunt nodded frequently. Uncle stayed for a while, then said: Who knows who that Yile is, Caihong is still young, only sixteen years old Before he finished speaking, I knew what he meant, so I hurriedly interrupted: So, you two must trust me and give me the right to handle everything. I think my cousin is willing to go with me . I looked over to the rainbow and she nodded. There was no anger on the uncle's face, he sighed: I'm just sorry to trouble you. I smiled and said: Don't say that, we are our own people, and that city is a very interesting place. I have never been there, so I just took this opportunity to have fun.

Uncle has already agreed with Rainbow to visit Yile, but when he looked at Rainbow, he still hummed sullenly. Both Bai Su and I felt it was funny, because there will never be anyone in the world who loves Rainbow more than him The love is deeper, but he still wants to show his father's majesty, that is indeed very interesting. I left them for dinner, and from the second day on, Rainbow was ready to go out.Five days later, all the formalities were completed very quickly. At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Rainbow and I boarded the plane and flew south. On the plane, I said to Rainbow: After arriving, stay in the hotel first, and then I will go to see the situation according to the address by myself. You wait for me in the hotel. Rainbow immediately objected: No, I will go with you. I said: That's fine, but you have to be mentally prepared. Even if we visit according to the location, we may not necessarily see him. There may be some twists and turns that cannot be observed. The rainbow's face pales again: what twists and turns will there be? I can't say, but I can assure you that I will do my best to make you meet Yile. If Yi Le is disabled, what do you think will happen to Dad? Don't ask what will happen to Dad, what will happen to Mom, Rainbow, this is your own business, just ask yourself what will happen! Rainbow nodded, and she suddenly smiled apologetically at me: Cousin-in-law, I said you were moldy, so I'm sorry. I was amused by her and laughed: Don't mind, I'm not a generation away from you, but I'm also half a generation away. In your opinion, if we are not moldy, at least our taste has changed. Rainbow also laughed. The plane was flying above the clouds, very stable. Rainbow was probably too tired for the past few days and fell asleep after a while. I closed my eyes and imagined what we might encounter. When the plane landed, it was already dark, and the city's airport was not far behind, but the efficiency of the clerks was terribly behind. It was delayed for an hour at the airport, and at least seventeen or eight generals were seen. The fact that the banknotes were handed over in the passport was considered to have passed the inspection, and when they walked out of the airport, thousands of lights were already on. We arrived at the hotel we had already booked by car, and after putting down our luggage, Rainbow shouted to find Yile. On the one hand, I can’t turn around the rainbow, and on the other hand, I am also very impatient, and I want to go to see what kind of person Yi Le is, and tell the waiter to find a taxi driven by a Chinese for us, and wait until the waiter informs us , after the car was waiting at the door, we went downstairs. The driver seemed honest. I told him Yile's address. After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and showed a strange expression. I said: "When we arrive, you wait for us outside, and I will Will you be willing to pay you according to the time? Yes, of course, the driver replied, and he suddenly asked: Sir, are you an officer? I was stunned for a while, I really didn't know what the driver meant by asking this question.I said: No, why did you ask that? there is nothing!The driver opened the door, please get in the car. I got into the car with Rainbow, and the car drove forward. The night view of the city is very beautiful. Although some small streets and alleys are very simple and dirty, at night, they are hidden by the night and can be seen. It's all new buildings with neon lights. Gradually, the car drove away from the urban area and arrived on a very dark road. I couldn't help being a little surprised: Do you remember the address? I remember, sir. Is it in the suburbs? Yes, very far from the city, there is a small town to go through a small town to get where you want to go. oh.I was very puzzled, where is that? I didn't ask any further because it didn't look like the driver was lying, so I let him drive on. The car drove for forty minutes at a speed of fifty miles per hour before passing through a small town.But that is not an ordinary town. The houses in that town are all very neat and clean, and the styles of the houses are all uniform. When the car passed a church, I was even more surprised! If I saw a Buddhist temple in the town, I would not be surprised, because the Buddhist temple here is world-renowned, but I saw a church, and I couldn't help asking: What town is this? The driver said: All the people living in this town are from the base. Base, I am even more strange, what base do you mean? The driver stopped the car suddenly, turned his head, turned on the small lights in the car, looked at me with very strange eyes, and repeated the address I just told him: Sir, don’t you want to go there? ? yeah that's That is the base, the largest military base on the outskirts of the city. I was stunned, it was something I never thought of again, no wonder the driver asked me if I was an officer, because the place I was going to was a huge military base! Could it be that Yi Le is actually a member of the military base?If he is, how can he be crippled?What are the twists and turns? Originally, I had already thought of several ways to deal with the situation where we couldn't see Yile, but I never dreamed that Yile's address would be a military base! I quickly looked towards Rainbow, and Rainbow also understood what I meant. She hurriedly said, "It's that address. For three years, I have been writing to this address, and he has always been able to receive my letters!" In that situation, although my mind was very confused, I still needed to make a decision, so I said: Go forward. The driver said: Sir, you don't even know that the address is a military base, I think it will be difficult for you to get in. I took a breath: you just go, when you can't move forward, I will deal with it, and I will never embarrass you, don't worry. Although I said that to the driver, I couldn't think of anything to do at that time.Moreover, the moment when I need to find a way will come soon. The car drove forward for another half mile, and saw a strong light shining on a very large signboard.The road sign said STOP in two languages.Another line of smaller words is waiting for inspection. At the same time, you can also see behind the road sign, a very high barbed wire fence, and two stone pillars, beside the stone pillars, there is a sentry box, and between the two sentry boxes is a large iron gate. The big iron gate is closed tightly, and looking forward, you can see scattered lights, which are coming from the houses in the distance. There seems to be an airport of considerable size in the base, but because the sky is very dark Black, I can't see very clearly. The driver stopped the car, and two guards wearing helmets and submachine guns came over, one on each side, and stood beside the car.Rainbow was so frightened that she held my hand tightly. She had grown up in a peaceful environment. When had she ever seen such a battle? One of the two guards stretched out her hand: ID. My throat felt a little dry, but I still said: I have no documents, we just flew from another city, looking for someone, we hope to see him. The two guards bent down and looked into the car. Their eyes first stayed on me, then on Rainbow, and after looking at us for a minute, one of them said: "I don't think you can go in. The base will never allow anyone without a certificate to come in or out. You should understand this." a little. Then, I hurriedly said: Can we inform the person we want to meet and ask him to come out to meet us? The guard thought for a while: OK, what's his name. It's called Yile.Rainbow rushed to say. What is the rank?the guard asked. Rainbow smiled bitterly: I didn't know he had a military rank, I didn't even know he was a soldier. The guard frowned and said: Then, you should know which department he works in. Rainbow shook her head in embarrassment again: I don’t know, but if I write to him and write to this address, he will definitely receive it.Rainbow read the address again. The guard shook his head: Yes, the address is here, but that is the general name of the entire base. It seems that it is difficult to find this person for you, miss. I hurriedly said: So, how did he get the letter? The guard said: Usually, letters that do not specify the department will be placed in the letter slot in the dining room, arranged according to the alphabetical number, and wait for the recipient to pick it up. I said: That's fine. This Mr. Yile has received a letter from this lady for three years. It can be seen that he is a member of this certain place. Can you check it for me? The guard looked very embarrassed: This is not our responsibility, but if you come tomorrow and meet with the liaison officer, there may be results, so I have to ask you to go back now. I also know that I can't be more demanding on those two guards, I patted Rainbow's arm: It seems that we have to do it again tomorrow! Rainbow nodded helplessly. The driver obviously didn't want to stay here for a long time, he couldn't wait to turn the front of the car around, and drove back. After a while, he passed the small town again, and returned to the urban area after 40 minutes.
