"Do me a favor. On crutches, Wang Da handed the white bouquet in his hand to Okazaki Mengmei, "I can't bend down like this." I gave this bouquet of flowers for me, thank you. ”

“…… Well, okay. Nodding, Yumemi Okazaki took the bouquet and bent down to gently place it in front of the extraordinary-looking tombstone. Unlike the somewhat noisy Tiananmen Square, it's quiet, with only the rustle of the wind through the treetops and the occasional birdsong. The atmosphere gently soothed her pain, but it turned it into a deeper sadness. She felt like she was thinking a lot, and then she realized that she wasn't thinking about anything. In normal times, when she is unhappy, she usually solves some equations with a relatively large amount of calculation to alleviate it, or recalls those more commonly used law summaries, but this time, she doesn't want to do this, just let sad emotions occupy her heart.

"We were supposed to die together. Hearing this voice, Okazaki Mengmei moved her gaze to Wang Da. The latter still looked at the tombstone in front of him, and his tone was calm, "At that time, there were only two of us left in the entire position, but there was only one grenade left at hand. The enemy wants to get a captive, and both of us should have what it takes to show them off. We both held that grenade together......"

"As a result, he died, but I lived. ”

"The doctor told me that we couldn't pull the string of the grenade, and judging by the wounds, we were injured by a stray bullet -- if we were disabled, we were relieved and boldly handed over to the group of Taiwanese, and this unit is not very smart. When they found us, we both had heartbeats, but with their strength they could only save one. At that time, it was the director of the field hospital who made the decision. In the end, he chose to save me. When I woke up and asked him why he had chosen this way, I was shocked by what he said. ”

"He told me that the matter was urgent, and that an incident before him did not give him a very good impression of the commissar. Unconsciously, Wang Da's tone began to become heavy, "So he chose to save me." Do you know what's going on, Miss Okazaki?"

"I ...... I do not know. After a pause, Yumemi Okazaki shook her head.

"There was a rumor in the army at that time," Wang Da nodded, as if anticipating her answer, "said he ...... Said that he was not doing his job properly, flirting with a woman during a short period of stationing. And he once borrowed a female nurse's uniform from the dean, who was also stationed in Chiayi City according to the order of the division headquarters at that time, which made the latter even more convinced that he was a guy who did not do his job. ”

"To some extent, it should be too much to say that this rumor killed him. ”

Hearing Wang Da's words, Okazaki Mengmei took two steps back, stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time.

"I'm not trying to blame you, Miss Okazaki. You and I can both understand that this should definitely not be your reason. Wang Da continued, "But I think this thing should tell you - since you are a related person. ”

"I understand. Yumemi Okazaki nodded slowly, "I understand. ”

"Miss Okazaki," took a light breath, and the expression on Wang Da's face suddenly became serious, "Now I'm going to ask you a question about a knot in his heart that has not been untied. Please answer me seriously, okay?"

"I will answer, if I can. ”

"That's good. I know you witnessed what happened at the barracks gate on May 30th, and it is likely that you were misled in some way after that. Now tell me, did you ever hate him?"

"Hate?" Repeating the word, Yumemi Okazaki shook her head, "No, never." ”

"That's just great. Wang Da breathed a sigh of relief, "On the 31st, he was in a very low mood. He told me that you seem to have had some misunderstanding. Being able to hear this answer, he can also look at it under the Nine Springs......"

"Misunderstanding?" After a moment's reaction, Yumemi Okazaki thought about what might have happened: he died on the battlefield, so he didn't receive his email. So, what will your own escape be misunderstood by the other party?

Even before the other party dies, you have to make him feel uncomfortable. How far am I going to hurt him?

"He didn't even see through himself. Although he didn't say it, I knew that he liked ......."

Don't say it. Don't say it. If I say it, I ...... How can I continue to lie to myself...... So what should I do......

Suddenly twisting her face to the side, Okazaki Yumemi interrupted Wang Da's words bluntly: "Thank you for telling me so many things, Head Wang." I think...... Uh, I guess...... I want to ......"

"Want to be here by yourself for a while? Turning around, Wang Da prepared to leave, "However, I'm not the head of the regiment anymore, don't call me that." Now I have nothing to do with the army. ”

"I didn't mean that. But ......" carefully wiping away tears, Yumemi Okazaki looked at the other party's empty shoulder, "You mean, are you already discharged from the army?"

"Discharged? no. Wang Da smiled bitterly twice, "I have been expelled from the army." ”

――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――――――

If she hadn't actually seen what she was looking for, Yumemi Okazaki couldn't believe that a family of three could live in a room of more than ten square meters. Even after being here for a while, the feeling of oppression from the room still permeated her heart. It all came from the cramped arrangement: a small stove with a new-looking wooden board nailed to the wall for spices, and the plastic panels against the stove were yellowed for some reason, a double bed in the middle of the room, and a wooden desk that was old at the head of the bed, the only table in the room, and in the northeast corner of the room, a second-hand television was placed on a platform made of chairs, with chopsticks and other miscellaneous items in the spare space。 In the middle of the ceiling was a light bulb hung by wires, not even a shade, a rudimentary way of lighting that she had never seen before. All in all, apart from the old but clearly five-year-old TV and the light bulb with its milky soft light, everything here makes Yumemi Okazaki feel like she has traveled back in time.

Since he didn't want to talk about these things at the graves of his comrades-in-arms, Wang Da invited her to come and sit in his home. However, Okazaki Yumemi could never have imagined that a former regimental officer would now live in such an environment. She remembered the netizens on the online forums who suggested the elimination of all traditional non-online media, including TV stations. If it is really what they say, how can people living in this environment obtain information from the outside world?

"It's because of the incident on May 30th," Wang Da lowered his voice to avoid disturbing the hostess, who was still sleeping because she was unwell, and the child who was doing his homework on the desk, which made his voice sound even more bitter, "You know, we have no proof of our innocence at all. Even if my warriors sacrificed their precious last words, their words were not convincing. And on the other side, they have videos, there are so-called 'live reports'. The impact of this incident on international public opinion is too great. Countless people who have denounced us need a story......"

As he spoke, he closed his eyes in pain: "What's more, when suppressing the rebellion in the prisoner of war camp, because the situation was so chaotic, we carried out indiscriminate attacks on people dressed in prisoner of war uniforms, which caused a considerable number of prisoners of war who were not involved in the rebellion to be involved. I admit that we did something wrong in this matter, but they actually said that we were armed to suppress the civilians, and the photos of the victims and wounds of the prisoners of war that I restrained became evidence......"

"So I was expelled from the military. As the tallest and only surviving commander above the company level in our regiment. Plus some guys who fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob ...... Oh, those damned local scum and local snakes, at this time, they dare to retaliate...... He didn't survive, maybe it could be considered his luck......"

"Moreover, official records will deliberately ignore our exploits, or will not state our numbers when they say them. That's why I said that there will be no name on the Monument to the People's Heroes. Wang Da sighed, "We will be forgotten." It's only after a long time that someone comes to hear us. Or...... And so he was buried forever. ”

"That's ......" Looking around the room, the guilt in Yumemi Okazaki's heart grew stronger. She even lowered her head, not daring to face the soldier in front of her again.

She knew she was thinking too simply. It's really too simple. She simply thought that as long as she kept the secret, Japan would not be dragged into the war. But if you want to keep the secret, what price will those parties pay?

Their lives will be completely destroyed because of this incident, just like the soldier in front of them who used to be the commander of the regiment. Even...... Even more tragic.

After getting on the plane back to the United States, she always thought she had understood the feelings of scientists who were forced to make choices in the war, the conflict with the beliefs she held. But that's only part of the pain. Greater suffering comes from seeing with your own eyes or recognizing how some people suffer because of their choices. Because, their own choice......

Still keeping her head down, Yumemi Okazaki asked in a low voice, "Is your leg the one you lost in battle?"

"Yes. In addition to my legs, there seemed to be shrapnel in several places in my body. ”

"Why don't you have surgery to take it out, and you can also have a mechanical prosthetic ......" As soon as she said this, the environment of this small room gave Yumemi Okazaki an answer. Realizing her gaffe, she hurriedly added, "If there is any financial difficulty, I can help......

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Okazaki. But I still don't need to. Wang Da immediately refused, "Just let this body remain the way it is." This can be regarded as my commemoration of those comrades-in-arms, as well as ...... Punishment for not being able to fulfill my promise at the time and still be alive. ”

"Well, I can also do some financial help......"

"There's no need. It's really not necessary. I've got a job with a handicapped massage. Wang Da shook his head, "What's more, I'm a soldier, Miss Okazaki." Even if you don't have a military status. A soldier must be boneless. I was taught that the poor are not fed. So, if you really have the financial strength to do that......"

"Go and adopt an orphan who lost his parents to the war. They are the ones who need it the most. I think he'll approve. ”

After saying this, Wang Da suddenly glanced at Okazaki Mengmei, and then scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I forgot, you seem to be only eighteen years old now." Adopting a child at this age is really ......"

"Nope. No. Saying two nos in a row, Yumemi Okazaki's tone was firm, "I'll do it." Thank you for the suggestion, Wang ......."

"I'm a few years older than him. Call me Brother Wang. ”

Failing to notice the slightly sad Chinese ridicule in the other party's words, she stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Da: "Then, I'll take my leave first, Brother Wang." I'll do as you say. ”

Because...... Just like you let the shrapnel stay in your body, this may be the only way I can atone for my sins and remember......

Pushing open the door, turning around and waving to Wang Da who came out to see him off, and waving to the child who said "goodbye, sister", Okazaki Yumemi took out the small computer she had always carried with her, and began to seriously search for information about the orphans of the war in the Taiwan Strait. I don't know when she modified it, but a small hole appeared in the upper right corner of the small computer, and a pink memory was hung on a rope, swaying from side to side with the owner's movements.
