The bright sun pours on Babao Mountain, and there are many tourists who come to the mountain, in order to show respect for the pioneers buried here, none of the tourists are dressed in fancy clothes, on the contrary, they are dressed in a uniform manner, only black and white.

The old lady of the Chen family does not have many opportunities to throw her head in this life, and it seems a little strange to the ordinary people, in such a situation, except for insiders, few tourists come to his tombstone to worship.

At ten o'clock.

There are many tourists in front of the tombstones of some well-known pioneers, but on Mrs. Chen's side, only the man who made Jiya Sleeping Lion officially awaken today knelt down in front of Mrs. Chen's tombstone, with red eyes, and said some words hidden in his heart with Mrs. Chen.

I don't know how long it took, a man in a military uniform suddenly walked through the crowd of tourists and walked towards the tombstone of the old lady of the Chen family.

Under the sun, the man in military uniform raised his head and pricked his chest when he walked, like a steel gun, and he looked at the tombstone of Old Lady Chen with red eyes as he walked, and looked at Chen Fan who knelt down in front of the tombstone with a solemn expression.

I don't know how long it took, the man in military uniform walked to the tombstone of the old lady of the Chen family, Chen Fan stopped "talking" with the old lady of the Chen family and turned his head to look at the man.

It's Zhang Tiezhu.

Old lady Chen used to be a guard.

"Old chief, the iron pillar has come to see you!"

Without saying hello to Chen Fan, Zhang Tiezhu looked at the portrait engraved on the tombstone with red eyes, biting his mouth, tears flashing, and his voice trembled.

"Division!"

When the words fell, Zhang Tiezhu's body was as straight as a gun, his legs were together, his upper body was straight, his right hand took a shortcut and quickly raised, and his five fingers were naturally straightened, making a salute that was enough to be included in the textbook.

At this moment, he seemed to be expressing his respect for Old Lady Chen in this way.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan got up as soon as possible and quietly walked behind Zhang Tiezhu.

Zhang Tiezhu didn't seem to notice this, and still maintained the saluting movement, but the burly body couldn't help but tremble, and a layer of mist shrouded his eyes, making his vision blurred.

"Listen!" Then he lowered his raised right hand, and hot tears welled up from his eyes, running down his resolute face.

"Whew!"

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and did not wipe the tears on his face, but turned his head to look at Chen Fan, and his voice calmed down: "Fan." Starting...

"Uncle Pillar." Seeing Zhang Tiezhu's tearful appearance before, Chen Fan's heart was somewhat touched, he knew that Zhang Tiezhu was nominally Mrs. Chen's guard, but in fact, he had always been treated by Mrs. Chen as a descendant, if it weren't for that, after Mrs. Chen withdrew and left the world, Zhang Tiezhu would not have been transferred to the military region out of the norm and served as the chief of staff with real power and great room for growth.

Because he knew this, Chen Fan didn't say thank you.

"1 Fan, the old chief has a spirit in the sky, and he will rest in peace when he sees everything he has done for the country, the people, and the Chen family." Zhang Tiezhu put on a relieved expression.

Old lady Chen treats him as a descendant, why doesn't he treat Chen Fan as his own child?

In his opinion, if his old chief, who dotes on Chen Fan, sees what Chen Fan is doing today, he will be happy to scold his mother in dialect.

"Fan, I'm here today to find it." Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, Zhang Tiezhu spoke again, and took out an envelope from his pocket as he spoke.

Seeing Zhang Tiezhu's actions, Chen Fan was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't ask.

"Yesterday I received an order from the Central Military Commission to come to Yanjing, and Vice Chairman Chen personally received me." Zhang Tiezhu paused here.

Vice Chen, Chairman?!

Hearing Zhang Tiezhu's address to Chen Jianguo, Chen Fan's heart couldn't help but move.

At the beginning, Mrs. Chen withdrew and left the world, Chen Jianguo drove him out of the Chen family in front of the bigwigs in the military and political fields, in addition to being angry with Chen Zhanfu, he was also angry with Zhang Tiezhu, who knew that he and Mrs. Chen had a deep relationship.

And now, Zhang Tiezhu called Chen Jianguo like this, and his intuition and reason told Chen Fan that most of the letters Zhang Tiezhu took out were related to Chen Jianguo.

Next, Zhang Tiezhu's words proved that Chen Fan only guessed half right, which was exactly one

Half.

"Fan, this letter was specially written by the old chief before leaving, and after it was written, it was deposited with Vice Chairman Chen, and until now, no one has read it." Zhang Tiezhu continued: "After I met with Vice Chairman Chen yesterday, it is now time for him to let him know everything, and let me pass on this letter. The words fell, and Zhang Tiezhu handed Old Lady Chen's last letter to Chen Fan.

After listening to Zhang Tiezhu's words, Chen Fan's face changed, his pupils contracted, his eyes focused on the envelope, and then... With his hands stretched out with a slight tremble, he took the envelope and turned to the side.

Seeing Chen Fan leave with the letter, Zhang Tiezhu seemed to understand that he wanted to give Chen Fan space, and did not follow, but once again set his eyes on the tombstone of Old Lady Chen, as if recalling the bits and pieces of the years when he served as a guard for Old Lady Chen.

Chen Fan walked to a bush and stopped, and gently and heartily opened the letter that Old Lady Chen had written to him before leaving. Sail, when I saw this letter, I had already gone to report to the chairman.

The content of the letter, word by word, looks very clear, but it seems to be a little vague.

Seeing the first sentence in the letter, Chen Fan's heart trembled, the hand holding the letter paper involuntarily clenched tightly, his breathing was a little unsteady, his nose was sore, and his eyes were red again.

Subsequently...... He took a deep breath and looked at it carefully.

"1 Fan, I can't forget the day I took it to the Northeast Base of Dragon's Tooth in my life, right? In fact, the old lady didn't forget. It was the day after his fourth birthday, and the old lady went to pick up his parents, but if he didn't leave, the old lady took him to see the machine gun.

At that time, when other children liked Transformers, under the teaching of the old lady, they liked guns the most.

After listening to the old lady's words, he took the old lady's hand with laughter, followed the old lady to the car, and went all the way to the airport. After arriving at the airport, he said to the old lady: Old lady, didn't you show me the gun, why did you come here? The old lady gave, there is no here, take it to other places to see.

In this way, the old lady coaxed, pulled abandons the military plane, and then goes to the base of Longya in the northeast. ”

Seeing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but think of the situation when he was still on the desert by Old Lady Chen that day, and at the same time, he also found ...... The handwriting of the next paragraph is a little blurry, and it seems... It was Mrs. Chen who was writing it, and tears fell on it.

"That day, after I took it to the northeast base of Longya, I left a person on the desert and left directly. You know? Sail, that day, although I was sitting in the car, I watched every move through the mirror. After seeing me get in the car and leave, he cried and shouted the three words of the old lady, chased me vigorously, and finally fell to the ground, his face covered with mud. Seeing that the old lady's car did not turn around, he sat on the ground and cried loudly, crying while calling his mother.

That day, the old lady was really uncomfortable, and she couldn't bear to leave her four-year-old in the desert. But in the end, I still did it ruthlessly, because just like when I met at the gate of the Yanjing Military Region: the old Chen family can have no status and no power, but... We must not lose the courage and determination of those who once dared to use their heads as urinals to defend the country and the people!!

If no one in the old Chen family can inherit this, I would rather the old Chen family never die!! ”

Seeing this, Chen Fan only felt that his eyes were blurry, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably, flowing down his face, dripping onto the letter, staining the originally blurry handwriting and becoming even more blurry.

Raising his hand to wipe a handful of tears, Chen Fan continued to look down.

"Fan, don't blame the old lady for being ruthless, I really have too many high hopes for the old lady! And in the end, he did not disappoint the old lady, in order to be angry with the old lady, he made up his mind to become the best soldier in China, and then after doing all this, he also left the army, making the old lady regret what he did at the beginning!

Haha Fan, the old lady doesn't lie, when I learned this from the person in charge of the dragon's tooth, I had a good night. Because...... I am also a soldier, I know the kind of feelings between soldiers, I believe that I can't do that, and the facts have proved my guess - the person who did not disappoint me, nor did he lose the old Chen family, became the first dragon tooth in the past thirty years!

Alas... 1 Fan, the old lady knows that what I did back then determined the life of the first twenty years, and also made me hate me for twenty years, although I became sensible later, understood the old lady, and released the old lady's suspicions, but ...... After all, the old lady was forced to do all this, so I said sorry just now, and I hope I don't blame the old lady. Chen Fan wiped away his tears again and turned the third page.

Unlike the first two pages, the third page of the letter was faintly reddish with blood stains on it.

Discovering this, Chen Fan was shocked, and his mind couldn't help but flash the old man who had gone through the Long March, killed devils, crossed the Yalu River, and with great wisdom and perseverance, step by step to make the Chen family rise in the republic, he couldn't help but sit at his desk weakly, crying and vomiting blood, while holding the pen that Mao and the chairman gave him to write a letter.

"Old lady, the sail is not to blame, really."

This scene flashed in his mind, and the man who was now at the top of his life, leaning on his back, slowly and slowly squatted to the ground, holding his head in his hands, trembling all over, like a wounded lone wolf, and spoke softly.

When the scorching sun is in the sky, his heart is like an abyss
