"That's good... If anything happens, tell me directly..."
Hearing Jiang Wang's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Wang Hou and the others.
"Thank you, Major General Jiang..."
Looking at their deeply bowed waists, Jiang Wang was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Qian, who was beside him, took in this scene completely.
Then, he dismissed the others and accompanied Jiang Wang alone as they walked through the academy.
Seeing Jiang Wang remaining silent, he smiled slightly and said,
"What's wrong? Are you lamenting the passage of time or the fickleness of human relationships?"
"Both, I guess."
Jiang Wang's expression was somewhat complicated.
"This world is like this, time changes everything."
"Even those comrades who once stood shoulder to shoulder with you."
Jiang Wang didn't refute Zhou Qian's words.
"Let's go, let's take a look around. You haven't been back for a long time. I hope you don't mind this old man acting as your guide."
"Haha, Principal Zhou is joking."
As he spoke, Zhou Qian slowly led Jiang Wang to an old ruin...
Jiang Wang immediately recognized that the ruin in front of him was the shopping mall he and Aunt Li Xue had visited before...
Past events instantly flashed through Jiang Wang's mind...
"The Shadow Guard's spy was discovered and eventually fled into this shopping mall and detonated himself..."
"Because it was wartime, it hasn't been repaired..."
Seeing that Jiang Wang didn't speak, he shook his head slightly. After a while, he led Jiang Wang to an amusement park...
Jiang Wang stared blankly at the amusement park that was no longer in operation...
"Because of the war, for the sake of energy, this amusement park has not been in operation. If you want to go in and play, I can have someone..."
"No need."
With that, Jiang Wang turned his head to leave.
Looking at Jiang Wang's back, Zhou Qian slowly said,
"There will be a fireworks festival in that alley tonight..."
"Are you really going to leave?"
At Zhou Qian's words, Jiang Wang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He clenched his fists tightly.
"In the shaping of light and shadow, the richer the shadows, the more three-dimensional it becomes."
"You are now in the shadows."
"You can choose to escape, or you can choose to face the shadows of life directly."
Hearing Zhou Qian's words, Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly left.
But the corners of Zhou Qian's mouth curled into a slight smile.
Because the direction Jiang Wang went was that alley...
When Jiang Wang stood at the familiar alley entrance...
The not-so-lively alley didn't have many people, and the barbecue stall at the entrance was still hawking...
Jiang Wang silently walked forward.
He opened his mouth, but suddenly lost his appetite and prepared to turn around and leave.
Suddenly.
"Boss, two skewers of everything..."
Jiang Wang suddenly turned his head!
"Jiang Wang~ Should we try everything?~"
"Sure, whatever makes you happy."
But when he turned his head, he found that it was just an ordinary girl buying something.
In an instant, Jiang Wang woke up as if from a dream.
"Okay!"
Looking at the vendor skillfully taking out the skewers and diligently grilling them, after all, his business was also very difficult to do during the war.
"Customer... you..."
"No, thanks."
Jiang Wang turned his head and left with a complex expression.
He walked and looked around the alley.
"Jiang Wang~ What is this~"
"Jiang Wang~ I want to eat this~"
"Ahahaha, Jiang Wang, this is so fun~"
...
Past events, like a movie, flashed in his mind.
And that originally silent heart gradually began to beat violently again...
Chapter 519: Fireworks Fade Easily.
Jiang Wang walked forward, and slowly, he walked to the alley entrance where he and Aunt Li Xue watched fireworks for the first time...
Although it was almost time for the fireworks.
But at this time, it was no longer as lively as it was then.
There were only a few people and a mother with two children...
Jiang Wang stood at the alley entrance, slightly raising his head to look at the sky...
Sections of memories kept playing in his mind...
Before long.
When a beam of light windingly rushed into the sky.
Then.
"Bang!"
Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky...
The children kept exclaiming.
And the mothers around them looked up at the sky with some exhaustion. After a while, they put their hands together, as if praying.
The children who were just shouting also stopped cheering and learned from their mothers to put their hands together...
Further away, two gray-haired old men were also putting their hands together and praying to the fireworks...
...
The war not only took away Li Xueyi, but also took away the families of countless ordinary people...
Fireworks kept blooming in the sky.
Jiang Wang's face was illuminated with colors.
But in his eyes, it was still black and white...
And at this moment.
A footstep slowly sounded behind Jiang Wang.
Zhou Qian stood beside Jiang Wang with a hunched back.
Looking at Zhou Qian's appearance, Jiang Wang was stunned.
The last time he saw Zhou Qian, he still felt that he was full of energy at all times and was a leader full of ideals and ambitions.
But looking at him now, he was already a bit old. Ever since Zhou Qian slashed that sword and Li Xueyi had an accident, his back seemed to have hunched a lot.
At this time, Zhou Qian was also looking at the fireworks in the sky.
After a moment.
"Fireworks are fleeting..."
Zhou Qian was a little emotional. Once upon a time, he was also a young man with lush grass and flying warblers.
But at this moment, he had become an old man with white hair and even a somewhat hunched back...
Jiang Wang didn't speak as he listened to Zhou Qian's emotion.
And at this time, Zhou Qian also slowly lowered his head and took out a few things from his arms...
"Shadows are also a part of life, I hope you can get out of it."
With that, he put those things into Jiang Wang's hands and turned to leave.
Jiang Wang looked at those letters and a terminal, and in an instant, he knew who the owners of these things were...
