Summer nights always come so late, people who have worked all day always can't wait to take a cool shower when they come home, and the streets that are as silent as graves during the day are rejuvenated

The third uncle took the young man to the barbecue restaurant, rented a set of utensils, and roasted them on the side of the road

"Hey, old man" The young man looked at the third uncle who was busy there, picked up a bottle of beer, opened it and threw it away, "I said that your broken watch, it doesn't look worth a few dollars, just buy another one if you lose it."

The third uncle caught it and took a sip, "Boy, you also came down from that unit, you should understand, never drag your teammates back, this sentence"

The young man nodded, looking at the third uncle waiting for him to speak

The third uncle walked into the store and called someone to continue roasting, but he walked to the table and drank it by himself, and soon, the third uncle swallowed a bottle of beer and burped. Seeing that the two boys were still staring at him, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I can't imagine that there are still young people who love to listen to stories, yes, then I'll tell you the story of my watch"

The third uncle seemed to remember something, and his voice began to deepen, "I used to be an explosive troop soldier on the southwest border, and every day I would dig out countless pieces left over from the war* from the ground, but I never complained, because I had my comrades-in-arms with me."

As he spoke, the third uncle picked up a glass of beer and drank it all, wiped his mouth and continued, "This kind of life lasted for a year, although there were occasional accidents, but it was also a thrill, right? Until one day, I remember clearly, it was the spring of 79, we were doing demining work as usual, but for some reason, as soon as we entered the minefield, an anti-infantry mine exploded next to us, fortunately no one was injured, but the next second our naïve thoughts were broken, it was a fucking sensitive trigger* The explosion lasted for about thirty seconds, and when I woke up, I found that I had a broken leg," he said, patting his right leg "It wasn't until recent years that it was repaired with biotechnology"

The third uncle picked up the wine glass and touched it with us, and then the grilled barbecue was also brought up, and the third uncle picked up one and took a bite, "I feel very heavy on my body, not like the weight of a protective suit, I took off the helmet, it was actually our captain, he was originally the farthest from the center of the explosion, but now he is pressing on me, a person who is at the heart of the explosion, do you know how I felt at the time?"

"Angry?" the young man picked up his glass, as if thinking about something

"That's right, it's anger, I later learned that it was Annan's ghost, I was in the hospital to heal at the time, but I really wanted to rush to the front line to kill" The third uncle took off his watch and put it in his hand and figured it out, "This watch was given to me by the captain's family who later went to the hospital to see me, so that I don't blame myself and live well to be worthy of the captain's hard work"

After speaking, the third uncle began to drink wildly, bottle after bottle of beer, drank several bottles in a row, and proudly began to stop the young man, they knew that this person who usually had no official frame at all now needed to vent

"The third uncle's heart knot for so many years, this time it should be able to untie it" proudly picked up a glass of beer and took a sip, looking at the middle-aged man who was sleeping on the table, and sighed for a while

"You sigh with emotion, take your hand away from me" The young man slapped his hand proudly on the plate with a bamboo stick

proudly covered the beaten hand, and looked at the young man with contempt, "Is it really good for you to bully a child like this?"

The young man stroked a string of "What? When does the hypnotist master need to pretend to be pitiful?"
