Chapter 224: Those Years, These Years
Zhou Zheng walked over and signaled, Zhao Hongjun retreated a little farther away with his relatives and friends on the side, Chen Changqing followed Zhao Hongjun, took him a few steps away, and whispered a few words.
Zhao Hongjun nodded, and Chen Changqing told him something.
In Hangzhou, Li Yiming met with that Charlie Chen, that guy is not a liar, but a slippery Xiangjiang businessman, now he wants to invite six people to Xiangjiang to investigate, Li Jianguo and Li Yiming are also among them, but now the time is a little urgent, see if Zhao Hongjun can help here.
"The procedure took many days, and in the past, if you took a car, it was even slower. As soon as Chen Changqing said softly, Zhao Hongjun understood.
At this time, you have to use the troops, the time of the plane and the train are completely different, and the procedures may be faster.
…...
Zhou Zheng stood in front of Li Yiming, looked at it for a while, and said lightly: "You are that child?"
Li Yiming looked at him, his eyes stayed on his face from head to toe, and he nodded.
"Zhao Shan said on the phone, you are very smart, very powerful, ten times more powerful than he was back then, Zhao Hongjun said that you are very powerful, you can also catch the enemy. A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth.
Li Yiming nodded lightly again.
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said slowly: "Then what important things do you have to say to the head of the Central Committee?"
Li Yiming looked at him and hesitated: "Grandpa Zhou, I haven't seen you on TV, and I haven't heard your name, there are some things I can't say to you." ”
Zhou Zheng's expression froze, and he looked directly into Li Yiming's eyes, where he saw persistence and courage, but he didn't flinch at all.
Interesting!
After meeting the child's eyes for a while, Zhou Zheng smiled faintly: "Zhao Shan is my old subordinate, and I am indeed not the head of the Central Committee, so it's okay if you don't say it, but how can I believe you? Do you know how many people are waiting to meet with the head of the Central Committee every day?"
"I know. Li Yiming nodded lightly, he knew that Zhou Zheng didn't want to help him, but just said a fact, there are so many things up and down the country, if you have to tell the head of the Central Committee face to face, you can't listen to it for a hundred hours a day, let alone deal with it.
"What doesn't matter...... Zhou Zheng exhaled softly, sighing to himself.
Yes, for everyone, those things are very important, and what is lacking is only comparison, but Li Yiming can't directly tell Zhou Zheng here that he has a story in his head thirty years later,......
How can I gain his trust?
Looking at Zhou Zheng's military uniform, Li Yiming thought for a while, he still had a lot of military knowledge in his mind, although most of those books were about making money and making money to play hooligans, but there was also quite a lot of content describing several wars led by the United States in the past 30 years.
War, war, war mode in the information age, this should be of interest to Grandpa Zhou!
"Grandpa Zhou, you are from the army, I can say something about the military......
Speaking of this, Li Yiming suddenly chuckled in his heart, looked up at Zhou Zheng, and asked a little cautiously, "Grandpa Zhou, there is nothing wrong with your body, right?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned by these questions, and looked down slightly at the expression on the face of the young man in front of him, as if he had thought of something, and sighed again with the corners of his mouth: "There is always something wrong with people when they are old, it's okay, I won't be scared to death by you......"
Li Yiming actually trembled slightly when he heard this, and his small mouth stopped talking.
Zhou Zheng snorted, obviously dissatisfied with his reaction, but didn't start it directly.
"Zhao Hongjun said that you helped catch an enemy specialty, and the process was very exciting! How did you know this?" Zhou Zheng looked at Li Yiming and asked.
"I... I read a lot of books, maybe that's the reason......" Li Yiming explained vaguely, anyway, these adults like this reason.
Zhou Zheng sighed: "What books do you read?"
"One hundred thousand whys, PHS roams the world of the future, the dictionary... Textbook... There is also a newspaper ..... current affairs"
100,000 Whys, PHS roams the world of the future... Zhou Zheng muttered the title of the book.
"If you like to read, why did you drop out?" Zhou Zheng asked coldly.
Li Yiming raised his head suddenly, it turned out that Zhao Hongjun had already told him.
"Uh... I wrote a letter... Send it to the chief... And then..."Li Yiming said with his head down.
Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Well, what is written?"
"It's just... Some considerations for the future...... "Li Yiming's voice is already inaudible.
At the age of thirteen, he wrote a letter to the head of the Central Committee about the future considerations, you don't know what the quarrel is like, Zhou Zheng shook his head and smiled, looked around, and said lightly: "Come with me!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Yiming to reply, turned around and walked slowly, this martyr's cemetery is a path paved with stone slabs, and grass grows tenaciously between the stone slabs, some are long and some are short, and some have small flowers.
The mountain breeze was blowing, it was slightly cool, the sun had already slanted to the top of the mountain, and long shadows were everywhere.
"Many of the people buried here are those who died in the battle, but in fact, some people only have clothes inside. Zhou Zheng said slowly, "In those battles back then, sometimes there were no conditions for collecting corpses. ”
Li Yiming followed him quietly, without saying a word.
Farther away from him were Zhao Hongjun and Li Jianguo, as well as two soldier guards, who had lean figures under simple military uniforms, but with extremely sharp eyes, slowly scanning the surroundings.
Zhou Zheng didn't reply, and his voice was not loud: "The Red Army hasn't told you yet, I'll tell you directly, Zhao Shan's death has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to feel guilty, he was angry with his youngest son, Zhao Yuanchao used the resources of the army to do his own business, and his life began to be corrupt, which was very bad." ”
Li Yiming raised his head suddenly, it turned out to be this reason.
"What about that person?" asked Li Yiming.
He doesn't care whose son this Zhao Yuanchao is, no matter how great his father's contribution is, he can't stop his son's fault, not to mention that this unscrupulous thing directly angered Grandpa Zhao, and Li Yiming couldn't wait to arrest him and beat him.
"It's arrested, I gave the order to arrest it, but I have to tell Zhao Shan, and the result is ......" Zhou Zheng snorted, "I still can't stand the stimulation!"
Li Yiming looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and asked softly, "Grandpa Zhou, don't you have a good relationship with Grandpa Zhao?"
"Huh?" Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at him, frowning, a little surprised, how could this kid ask such a sentence.
Li Yiming whispered: "I don't see that you are too sad, you laughed a little just now......
"You know what... What's so uncomfortable about dying at once, there are more comrades who have been arrested and tortured to death......"
Zhou Zheng slowly paused and looked at the countless tombstones around him, "We all fought one battle after another, there were many people who died, how many good friends and relatives were sacrificed, there is nothing terrible about death, how can people not die, hum, what kind of revolution is there if you are afraid of death!"
Li Yiming looked at the old man, who was as straight as a steel plate.
"What I'm afraid of is that no one will inherit our legacy, our descendants, they have forgotten why we did this, why we sacrificed our lives and sacrificed blood!" Zhou Zheng said indifferently, but there was a faint sadness.
"Zhao Shan, he has been injured a few times, his luck almost died a long time ago, he can live until the liberation is earned, he has lived until now, deduct his unsuccessful little son, nothing else is okay, the Red Army made him quite satisfied, of course, it may also be because of you. ”
"I ......," Li Yiming wanted to say and stopped.
Zhou Zheng ignored him and walked forward on his own:
"In those battles, attacking the county or something, we all had death squads, and we rushed up with guns and cannons, and we didn't even have any decent shoes,......
At most, straw sandals and cloth shoes are still torn, and no matter what is on the ground, even if it is an iron nail, you have to step on it, whether it is a gun with bullets or a stick!"
He suddenly stopped and sighed: "Every time you fight, it is the bravest who sacrifice first, and it is lucky to be able to live." If the rest of the people don't have the courage to continue to sacrifice, the team will become weaker and weaker....."
"Fortunately, we did not get weaker, the sacrificed comrades were in front of us, we picked up their guns and continued to fight, there is nothing to be afraid of death, we live very simply. ”
"After so many years, I'm also old..... Zhou Zheng crossed his waist and looked at this stele forest for a long time, on the gentle slope, there were countless comrades-in-arms, "I can't remember what they look like,......
Li Yiming lowered his head and bit his lip tightly, and his vision began to blur again.
"It's going to be a National Day soon......" Zhou Zheng exhaled softly, "It's been thirty-five years since liberation, and many people here don't know ......"
He stood there in silence, staring at the stone tablets, whispering the names on them, as if to engrave them into his heart.
......
The National Day is approaching, and our new China is already 35 years old, and many people here have also been sleeping on this land for so many years.
Li Yiming bit his lower lip lightly, and stared at those stone tablets for a long time, as if he saw countless soldiers in ragged military uniforms sitting there quietly, looking at themselves, looking at the sky, looking at the earth, and looking into the distance,......
The slanting sun shone from the side of the mountain, dragging out countless long shadows, which were connected into one.
The pine forest rustled in the evening breeze, and he raised his head, a little dazed, as if someone in his ear was whispering over and over again:
How many people have admired your appearance when you were young, who is willing to bear the ruthless changes of the years, how many people have come and returned in your life, and you and I have been by your side all your life......
