Yang Chen walked on the street with Gao Hong, looking at the recruits who were training on the playground, and they were full of emotion.

"Boss, then you don't smoke, I'll replace this white sand with a higher grade?" Gao Hong said with a wink.

Because of Yang Chen, everyone basically followed Yang Chen to smoke white sand, because Yang Chen didn't touch other cigarettes at all, and he didn't know what evil he had fallen into.

So over the years, Gao Hong has also been smoking white sand, including now buying white sand, in order to meet Yang Chen and give Yang Chen cigarettes.

Now that Yang Chen doesn't smoke, it's time for him to think about slowing down, after all, Baisha is too cheap, and the taste is also very choking.

Yang Chen glared at him and said coldly, "Are you rich now?"

Gao Hong was stunned for a moment, looking at Yang Chen in some surprise, not understanding what Yang Chen would suddenly have such a change.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have much money, but my salary here is enough for me to spend, and I don't need to go out in the army, so I don't have much to spend, and it's useless for me to save money myself......"

"It's useless?" Yang Chen snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten those brothers of yours?"

Gao Hong was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at Yang Chen.

"Brothers...... I haven't been in contact with them, I've been in the number......"

Yang Chen took a deep breath and asked, "How many people were in the Wolf Tooth Clan?"

Gao Hong said: "At the beginning, there were a total of 299 people, and in the end, 200 people were eliminated, and the remaining 99 people were officially determined to be 45 people!"

Yang Chen stopped, turned around, stared at Gao Hong, and said, "Do you know how many people are left now?"

Gao Hong shook his head.

After he left the army, he never heard from them again.

Yang Chen took a deep breath and said, "There are forty-five members of the Wolf Tooth Clan, three people died in the Viper Battle, and there are forty-two people left. Five deserted after the incident, and thirty-seven remained!"

Gao Hong couldn't help but lower his head, he was one of the five deserters.

Later, seven people were sacrificed, sixteen were retired due to injuries, one person was recuperated due to illness, and thirteen remained. ”

After speaking, Yang Chen looked at Gao Hong.

Gao Hong's face was entangled.

"Do you remember what we promised?

Gao Hong's brows tightened, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course I remember!"

"What is it?" Yang Chen stared at Gao Hong.

Gao Hong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If I die, please help me take care of my parents!"

"How Would You Answer?"

Gao Hong said: "Don't worry, I will take care of your family just like I take care of my own parents! If I die, you will also take care of my family!"

"Where is it now?" Yang Chen stared at Gao Hong.

Gao Hong bowed his head deeply, because he had long forgotten about this matter and forgot about it.

Yang Chen sighed and said to Gao Hong: "Actually, I didn't want you to take on this responsibility, because you don't even know who the injured and retired people are, and who is sacrificed, let alone his family, his family." ”

"But I'm willing to give a helping hand! As long as I have the ability and need me to do something, I will definitely do it!" Gao Hong said excitedly.

Yang Chen shook his head and continued to walk forward.

Gao Hong hurried to follow.

Yang Chen said slowly: "I'll go to the border for a few days this time...... Four and a half days to be exact, and I came back today for exactly five days. Do you know what I've been doing over there these days?"

Gao Hong looked at Yang Chen and shook his head.

"Do you remember the pillar?" asked Yang Chen.

Gao Hong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Remember, the pillar is very silly and fun." ”

"That's right!" the corners of Yang Chen's mouth turned up, as if he thought of the simple and stupid man at the beginning, "Are they all children from the countryside, simple and kind." ”

"yes! I remember the pillar was very talkative, and he helped me wash my clothes. Gao Hong also has some nostalgia.

Yang Chen lowered his head and was silent for a while, pursed his lips, and said for a long time: "The pillar is sacrificed!"

"What!" Gao Hong's eyes widened, "Why can't even the pillar ......?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "I just went to Zhuzi's house! Originally, I wanted to offer condolences, so I gave the money and left." But when I found the village where the pillar was located, and saw the dilapidated appearance of their house, and saw the old lady's old appearance, I couldn't bear to say it. ”

In front of Yang Chen's eyes, the scene he saw was reflected.

On the rugged and muddy mountain road, it takes a long time to walk across a stream and a mountain road to enter their village.

The houses in the village are made of stone and earth walls, and the roofs are made of wooden planks and thatch.

The courtyard wall is even more non-existent, only a railing composed of some crooked branches.

When Yang Chen saw Zhuzi's mother, it was a slightly thin woman with pale hair, cloudy eyes, a clumped waist, calloused hands, and a slight thinness.

It looks like he should be sixty or seventy years old.

It stands to reason that if the pillar is alive, it should only be about twenty-six or seventeen, and there should not be such an old mother.

However, after questioning Yang Chen, he learned that the pillar was the fifth baby who was born.

After all, it is rural, and it is patriarchal.

gave birth to four daughters in a row, and only later did this five babies.

The fifth baby was regarded as a treasure, but the good times did not last long, after the eldest sister of the pillar went out to work, she sent money to the family in the first year, and there was no movement in the second year.

The second girl went out again, and finally ran away with someone else, and she married in a foreign place and never came back.

Sanni and Sini were deceived by the people in the village to be little sisters in other places, and they never came back.

Only the pillar was left, and he finally went to serve as a soldier.

In the years when the pillar was a soldier, the family conditions did improve a lot, because the subsidy for their injustice was relatively high, and the pillar was more realistic, and all the money was sent back to the family.

But Zhuzi's father has cancer and needs a lot of money to treat it.

The money sent back by his sisters, as well as his salary, were all used up.

Later, he asked a few sisters for money and gave it, but he gave it for the first year, and there was no movement in the second year. After all, she is a married girl, and she can't always help the family.

The last hope lies in the pillars.

However, after waiting for a few years, what I waited for was indeed an urn and a compassionate payment.

The compassionate money was used up for medical treatment, and he had to live with the stipend of the pillar.

After a few years of hard work, Zhuzi's father completely left the West, leaving only Zhuzi's mother alone. Although she is alone, the subsidy of 200 yuan a month is of no avail.

Life is getting more and more difficult.

Now Zhuzi's mother is even more old and helpless, although she is less than seventy years old, but she is as old as others in their seventies and eighties.

When looking at the pillar mother, Yang Chen's nose refluxed.

"Kid, are you looking for a pillar?"

When Zhuzi's mother's rough palm grabbed Yang Chen's arm and asked this, Yang Chen couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell from his eyes.

Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am a comrade-in-arms of the pillar!"

"Oh, then you're coming to see me! No, I'm fine! Don't worry about the country, you should be busy with your business, I'm fine, don't trouble the country!"

However, hearing this sentence stinged in Yang Chen's heart like a sharp arrow piercing into it.
