When Zhang Kun went out this time, he naturally went to Nanyun, Wenshanzhou, Funing and Sharenzhai.

He went to find the thunderstorm.

It has been nearly a week since he came back, and Zhang Kun didn't know if Lei Yu is still there. He remembered that when he left, Lei Yu said he would stay with his family for a while, but how long was this period of time? Lei Yu didn't say it, and Zhang Kun didn't ask.

Zhang Kun doesn’t know whether the thunderstorm is still there or not.

It is possible to go there, either ascend to heaven or go out for a long trip.

But Zhang Kun had to leave this trip.

Commander Gu sent someone to find him for the first time, and the second time he came to him personally to invite him to join the army.

Rather than saying that Commander Gu is looking for himself, it is better to say that he is looking for thunderstorm.

What Commander Gu needs is the "Zhang Kun" who can help "Biao Lei".

Therefore, to decide whether to join the army, or whether to return to the army, Zhang Kun decided to let Lei Yu decide for himself.

Although if Lei Yu agreed to "return" to the military camp, Zhang Kun would have another errand on his shoulder that might not be able to see the end for many years, Zhang Kun was willing.

After arriving at Funing, Zhang Kun found a supermarket to buy some gifts, some fruits, a chicken, duck, and a pork rib. They were cut into pieces and worked together.

Gifts are not of any level, and they can even be said to be very shameful, but they are practical.

When he came to Sharenzhai last time, although Zhang Kun had never been to Lei Yu's house, when he was passing by, Lei Yu pointed at Zhang Kun from a distance.

It is an old house with civil structure, built with yellow mud and wood, not even a brick and stone structure.

Moreover, Lei Yu’s parents are both disabled and have an older brother.

Family is definitely relatively difficult, and Funing County is not a wealthy county, so it is limited in helping the poor families under its jurisdiction.

Rather than bringing hundreds or thousands of supplements to the door, these things are more realistic.

As for taking the money directly, Zhang Kun never thought about it. Even if he took it, it would be more likely that Lei Yu's parents would not accept it. Moreover, this may also be an insult to Lei Yu.

A heroic family does not need mercy.

Zhang Kun carried the gift and found the home that Lei Yu had pointed him to. Outside the yard, a middle-aged woman was sitting on a bench. There was a small table in front of her with some fragmented beads on it. The woman was using a red silk thread to connect the beads one by one.

This is a small handicraft. Zhang Kun once saw it in his grandmother's village. He could take it to his home to make money by volume. Each price is very low, a few cents high and a few cents low.

In general, if you do it quickly, you can still be seven or eight yuan in an hour, but if you are slow, you will only be four or five yuan.

Life is not hard, it is just fragmentary, and it depends on time, but the advantage is that it can be taken home and done, which is suitable for people who are not convenient to go out to work.

The woman tied a knot on her right thigh, and a thick branch with smooth grinding and twigs was placed next to the bench. There were traces of polishing on the surface of the branches, and the forks on herringbone were finely trimmed.

Next to the woman, a translucent phantom stood quietly, standing motionless, silently accompanying the woman.

Zhang Kun stood outside the yard and looked at it, then walked forward and knocked on the yard door.

The knock on the door woke up the woman who was concentrating on doing small handicrafts. The woman quickly put down the beads in her hand, then picked up the branches next to her, supported them under her armpits, and greeted Zhang Kun with a smile on her face.

The woman asked Zhang Kun softly if she needed any help in a very gentle voice.

Zhang Kun shook his head, said hello to the woman first, and then introduced himself as Thunder Rain's comrade-in-arms, and came to visit his uncle and aunt.

The woman was stunned at first, then nodded to Zhang Kun gratefully, and then said with apology that Lei Yu's father had gone to the field and was not at home.

While talking, he called Zhang Kun into the room, then moved the stool and poured tea.

Zhang Kun carefully placed the gift he brought on the table in the house, and the chickens and ducks were placed on the ground. When Zhang Kun put it, the chickens and ducks fluttered twice. Although he had been rushing along the way, he was quite energetic.

Zhang Kun took the tea handed over by the woman, took a sip, then chatted with the woman for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

The woman naturally tried to keep her, but Zhang Kun always smiled and declined, saying that she still had a task, and then refused to try her aunt's skills next time she came.

He repeatedly affirmed that the woman wanted to send back the fruit pulp that the woman wanted to send back, and then left the door, yard, and Sharenzhai.

Walking all the way to the back mountain of Sharenzhai, halfway up the mountain, in front of the two tombstones that Zhang Kun had visited.

"Zhang Kun, are you looking for me?" Lei Yu, who followed Zhang Kun here, spoke softly.

Zhang Kun did not speak at first, but swept away the weeds in front of the two graves, then sat down, looking at the sunset in the distance, which was about to begin to fall.

After a long time, Zhang Kun spoke softly.

"Thunderstorm, you have been dying for half a year."

"Um."

"How does the days after death feel?"

"well enough."

"I mean, do you feel that feeling of loneliness?"

"Hmm? Loneliness, feeling?"

"It's the kind of thing, you're talking, but no one can hear it, you're there, but no one can see it, you're there, but no one knows your existence, just like you're alone in a world."

"This kind of thing is a little uncomfortable at first, but now it seems that I have started to get used to it, so it's okay."

"It's okay, right? Don't hold on, no one will laugh at you."

"Well, it's really okay. It's much better than being locked in a small dark room in the army."

"Is it a small dark room? Well, maybe in a short period of time, the loneliness of the soul is really not as terrible as a small dark room, but what if this feeling makes you stay for two or three years, five or ten years, or even twenty years?"

"Uh, I don't know this, but thinking about it, it should be quite scary, why did you suddenly remember to say this?"

Zhang Kun was silent, and then he talked about what happened from He Bing arrived little by little until Commander Gu came to the door yesterday and invited the military consultant to join the army, and he made it clear clearly little by little.

"So I'll come to you and ask for your opinion." Zhang Kun said softly.

Lei Yu was silent for a long time, then looked at Zhang Kun: "You are willing?"

Zhang Kun shook his head: "You have the final say in this matter."

Lei Yu was silent again. It took a long time before Lei Yu spoke again.

"A long time ago, when I was still in the army, I often saw some veterans retired and looked reluctantly at the red flag flying in the military camp. Each of them would clench their fists and say six words loudly to the red flag when they left."

"I sacrificed and retired, but I never had the chance to say those six words under the red flag."

"But, today I still want to say that I am a thunderstorm, I am a Chinese soldier in my life, and I am also a thunderstorm. If the country needs it, I am a thunderstorm."

"If there is a war, I will be called back!"

The thunderstorm faces the red sun in the sky, raised his right hand, and the military salute is upright.
