Chapter 22: Yingge and Du Juan
There was no smoke of artillery fire here, and there were no shouts of killing. There are no clouds in the sky, and there is no scene of frenzied killing by swarms.
There are high walls and locked prison doors. Prisoners, they can only look up at a narrow sky with the help of narrow iron windows.
Because it is winter, it is common to see snow falling in the sky outside, falling into the prisoner's prison, and the snowflakes, like prisoners, are scattered around each cell, even if they are swept away, they are also piled up on the playground of the prison, blocked by high walls, and they are free and cannot drift with the wind, until the beginning of spring, when the snow melts into water, seeps into the soil of the prison playground, and is locked in this deep prison for life.
The sad thing is Yingge, because he has a mind and a life, and he can't melt like snow in the spring. He was to spend every year in this prison spring, summer, autumn and winter. Life in prison cannot be like the life of outsiders, who often get together with friends and sigh like this: "Time is like flowing water, and we are all old before we know it." "And the people who live in prison spend every day longer than every year, and they often think about how often they live like years, and this is the difference between the people on the outside and the people on the inside.
So, most of the time in his sleep, only at this moment, he felt his freedom.
He dreamed that he was fighting with an enemy fighter plane, and the moment he destroyed the first enemy fighter plane for the first time, he did not know how to fly a fighter plane, and he forgot everything he had learned. At that time, he was very excited when he saw the enemy plane planting in smoke, and he knew from then on that the soft are afraid of the hard, and the hard are afraid of death. To this day, he remembers the courage of shooting down an enemy plane for the first time. With more and more air battles, his first performance was gone, and he used skills and tactics to wipe out his original collision.
He remembered another battle, he used his skills, with his back to the sun, his fighter plane lurked at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and rushed towards the enemy fighter plane at an altitude of 3,000 meters......
He smiled in his dreams, and when he woke up, he was lying in his cell, looking out at the damp cell, the concept of his mind still immersed in a sweet state.
Most of the dreams were in the state of destroying enemy planes, and there was also a time when he dreamed that he was destroyed, it was a straightforward time, he dreamed that he was like falling into the abyss, he stretched out his hands in pain, and shouted loudly, and his shouts woke up the other two companions in the cell, and when the three of them woke up, it was pitch black, and it was late at night, he looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said to the two of them in a lost voice: "I dreamed again that I was shot down and fell headfirst into the abyss." ”
Yingge's dream has two war festivals, one is to dream that she pilots a fighter plane to participate in air battles, and the other is to dream of her, and she is in love sweetly, she is Du Juan in her heart.
Now he is the saddest thing is the day in prison, and he is most willing to get dark, fall asleep quickly, and dream, pull him back to the moment when he is happy. Fly the fighter plane in the sky, kill the invading plane, on the grassland, take a walk with Du Juan, and talk about a better tomorrow together. He looked at her quiet face, and understood that all the secrets flashed in those quiet eyes, and at that time, he had no impulse, and some were captured by her beauty, and in front of her, he seemed to be a big girl.
He was extremely attached to the dreams of the night, because only by returning to the dream could he relive everything that happened yesterday, and only by returning to the dream could he forget the present difficult days.
Every one of the people in the prison, whose childhood aspirations have not been able to relate to the prison, have forgotten the ideals of yesterday when they are thrown here. A day slows down like a year, interrogation, interrogation, and they have forgotten about tomorrow by this time.
Only dreams, accompany them to reminisce about the past years.
What worries Yingge the most is Du Juan in her dream. He absolutely didn't know that she was empty and awake when she was admitted to a mental hospital, and when she came to the mental hospital, she didn't know at all. She said to the doctor: "Where is my radar room, where is my comrade...... After many examinations, she has recovered her memory, her brain thinking has been normal, but the doctor is not sure that her spirit will be deranged again, it is certain that she is normal, she must recuperate, do not have another mental blow, her illness can be normal.
The psychiatric hospital informed Du Juan's troops, telling them that they could be picked up, but they had to stay at home, and there was no abnormal phenomenon, that is, she was no longer suitable to stay in the army as a soldier, because the life of artillery fire made her brain think abnormal. You can stay at home and recuperate after leaving the army. This is the best way to recuperate.
Radar immediately sent Nana and her cousin to pick her up and send her home.
Nana and cousin, hearing that Du Juan has recovered, the two of them are very happy, they soon came to the mental hospital, the two of them feel that today's steps are particularly relaxed, when they pushed open the door of Du Juan's room, Du Juan saw that her comrades-in-arms were sisters again, when she came to the front, she immediately rushed to push open the door did not come in Nana and her cousin who were stunned in front of the door, "Sister Nana......" three comrades-in-arms, three sisters, hugged each other tightly.
After a while, the relationship between the three people gradually calmed down, and Nana asked Du Juan beside her: "Who am I, you say it again, who is she." Du Juan said loudly to Nana: "You are Sister Nana, she is a cousin, I am Du Juan, we are comrades-in-arms, that is, comrades-in-arms who fight together every day, a comrade-in-arms is a sister, and they are about to leave our side, Nana is very uncomfortable, but her heart is very happy, after all, it is satisfying to be able to restore a mentally ill person to normal and make us smile healthily." So, Nana got on the train with her cousin Du Juan and sent her home, on the way, Du Juan asked Nana: "Why don't we go back to the original radar company." Nana told her: "My cousin and I will send you home to recuperate first, and in a few days, your illness will be completely cured, and the army will recruit you back." Nana could only say this, she was afraid of hurting Du Juan's emotions, and Du Juan asked again: "Why didn't Yingge come to pick me up, how is he?"
Nana and her cousin knew that she had to ask like this, she regained her memory, and everything she had forgotten returned to Du Juan's feelings, Nana said to Du Juan what she had already thought about: "Yingge, they are very busy with the war, and they can't spare themselves, let me say hello to you for him, and when the war is over, he will see you." Du Juan heard Nana say this, and had to believe it.
"Then I will obey the advice of the commander, go home to recuperate, tell me to tell them to hurry up and recruit me back."
Nana and her cousin finally sent Du Juan back to their hometown, and then the two rushed back to the army.
After returning home, Du Juan is very unaccustomed to the life at home, every afternoon, she wanders alone around the railway ticket gate in the town, when the train stops at the small station, she stands at the ticket gate, her eyes look at the people who walk out of the platform, the passengers who get off the train have gone, look at her, you can see a desperate woman, every time, she uses the eyes of hope, one by one, she looks forward to Yingge will come back.
But every day she came with hope, one day, two days...... One month...... 2 months ...... Although she didn't wait for Yingge to appear every time, she still waited like this.
Because, she believed in her heart that if Yingge survived, he would appear sooner or later.
