When I packed up my things and walked out of school, my father came with the woman to pick me up and help me with my things, but it was mainly the person, and my father just followed behind.

I put my bag on my back and said, "I'll carry it myself, it's not sinking." ”

After saying that, I subconsciously pushed the woman's hand away.

Although I began to accept the fact that the woman was my mother, I still couldn't change my attitude towards her immediately.

The father's face gradually sank, but the woman smiled and said, "Tiancheng, you drive, I will sit in the back with Xiaofeng and talk for a while." ”

I knew that my father might be angry, so I didn't speak, and I hid in the car first, while the woman followed me to the back seat of the car.

On the way back to Yuhua Town, the woman kept talking to me about the topic, and I didn't answer a word.

When I got out of the criminal state, I looked at the woman next to me and couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Are you really my mother?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then nodded her head several times and said, "Well, Xiaofeng, I really am your mother." ”

I asked again, "So where have you been all these years?" And why did you leave me and my dad for? What did you say to my dad about each other? ”

My father didn't say anything when I was driving in front of me, because this was the first time I took the initiative to ask this woman a question, and when I asked this, it meant that I had begun to accept this woman, so my father didn't say anything.

The woman smiled bitterly, then sighed and said, "Xiaofeng, you have grown up now, and I will tell you some things about me and my father." ”

I nodded and motioned for the woman to continue.

Before she could say anything, she was about to come to my hand, but I just put my hand in my pocket and didn't give her a chance.

She withdrew her hand, smiled and said, "Your father used to be a soldier, do you know the way?" ”

I nodded, I naturally know this, otherwise my quilt wouldn't have to be folded into the shape of tofu every day!

Seeing me nodding, she continued: "Your father and I met during a mission in the army, we were both soldiers in Tibetan areas, your father was a soldier with a gun, and I was a medical soldier. I remember that it was the winter of one year, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, more than 10 soldiers of our medical squad received an order to go to several outposts on the plateau to conduct physical examinations for the soldiers. ”

The woman's voice was warm and soft, and although the story was plain, I didn't get bored, and I listened carefully.

Her expression changed, and she began to say a little unnaturally: "There is no transportation, and most of our medical team are female soldiers, so the speed of movement is very slow, and we can't complete the task according to the orders from above." So in front of us, a deputy squad leader who was familiar with the Tibetan road suggested that we go around the path, and she said that the path could shorten the time by at least one day, but it would pass through a few black gold mines, and the owners of black gold mines in Tibetan areas generally had money, especially in our time, it is not surprising that they have a small armed team of more than ten people under their hands. So when our deputy squad leader put forward this suggestion, it was quickly met with a lot of opposition. ”

The story of black gold in Tibetan areas De Ye once told me that those black gold masters, all of them are ruthless, almost everyone has a few lives in their hands, Tibetan transportation is backward, the land is sparsely populated, and it is almost impossible to rely on the police to maintain law and order, so there is a People's Liberation Army directly set up sentinels to help maintain local law and order.

The People's Liberation Army also exterminates several large black gold owners every year, but the business of the gold mine is too tempting, and if a few are wiped out, there will be the intervention of new black gold owners immediately, so at that time, the black gold riots in the Tibetan area can be described as a great headache for the officers and soldiers stationed in Tibet.

So when that woman said that a class of medical soldiers wanted to make a detour to the black gold mine, my heart couldn't help but tighten.

The woman paused for a moment and continued: "Although there are many people who oppose it, our squad leader and deputy squad leader are very radical, they say that the military order is like a mountain, and they also say that those black gold masters are just paper tigers, and they are all vulnerable in front of the red force, plus we will have a squad of gun-equipped soldiers to protect us, so we stepped into the so-called path." ”

According to this woman, they should have been out of the 80s when they joined the army, and I heard that it was the time when the black gold lords were most rampant, and they actually entered the black gold mining area?

I began to become fascinated by the story.

The woman continued: "The mountain roads in Tibet are very difficult to walk, and there are many places where communication equipment is not covered, so our communication is naturally even more backward, so we did not get in touch with our superiors when we made a detour to the Heijin area. ”

"The so-called path, we actually can't tell it, because he has been covered by heavy snow, we relied on the memory of the deputy squad leader to grope forward, about a day away, we people found a very serious problem, that is, we are lost, heavy snow, the most important thing is that we took this road in order to hurry, we missed the next sentry point supply point, and our supplies are not very sufficient."

I know that I was drawn to this story because it was a story of life and death, and the beautiful woman in front of me, who was probably my mother's woman, I couldn't have imagined that she would have experienced such a thing.

She reached out again and pulled my arm, and I didn't refuse.

She slowly breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "In the evening, we encountered the first accident after we got lost, that is, we found a few Tibetans, a few hundred meters away from us, they we, we originally thought there was hope, because the Tibetan villagers are very enthusiastic about us medical soldiers, I think they may be able to take us out of this predicament, without waiting for the soldiers guarding us to come forward to ask, our deputy squad leader excitedly ran to find a few people to ask for directions, and the soldiers guarding us did not stop, The deputy squad leader was halfway through the run when a gunshot rang out, and then we fell into the snow! We were all stunned, and the experienced warrior immediately asked us all to climb down, and he told us that we were probably not encountering ordinary Tibetan people, but the armed forces of the black gold masters. ”

"A few soldiers who protected us fought with those few gunfights while going to save our deputy squad leader, and it took about ten minutes, and the rest of the people escaped after the other party killed one person."

"The deputy squad leader was hit in the chest, the bullet passed through the lung lobe, her blood had formed ice slag on her clothes, we rescued her, but it was freezing at the time, and we didn't have any surgical equipment, so, so we watched the deputy squad leader die that night......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but take a breath and ask, "What happened later, what happened later?" ”

The woman patted me on the shoulder and said, "Later? Later, we encountered the most terrible thing in my life, in the middle of the night, we were all frozen and dazed, a few fighters with altitude reflection, plus the cold winter had fainted, the situation was very critical. But at this time, the men who had attacked us in the evening rushed back again, this time there were more of them, more than thirty of them, and they were all armed with guns, but fortunately the soldiers who were on guard that night were alert, so they did not let those people sneak around us. Of course, a shootout is inevitable. ”

"I was very scared, I crawled in the snow and didn't move, and the shootout was fierce, and it took about 20 minutes before the gunfire became quieter. I had the audacity to crawl up to one of the fighters and ask him how he was. He told me that the other side had two dead and a few wounded, and that he dared to rush this way for the time being, while on our side, only his arm was affected, and the others were fine. ”

At this point, my father interjected, "That wounded warrior is me." ”

The woman nodded and said, "Well, that was the first time I had spoken to your father officially, and he was the least of the soldiers who spoke to our medical squad. ”

The woman continued: "I bandaged your father, and then he asked the other two soldiers to take our medical team first, while he and a few other soldiers left behind the palace, he said, we stay here sooner or later by the armed forces of those black gold lords, whether we can escape depends on the will of heaven, and also see if the superiors will send a rescue force in time after losing contact with us." ”

"At that time, we were very united, and no one refused to leave anyone, so we refused to leave, but your father actually forced us to go with a gun, and put a few empty guns in the snow to scare us, although he was very fierce at that time, but that image deeply moved me, I asked his name, and he told me that his name was Yi Tiancheng."

"We were led by two fighters to continue north, and we were lucky enough to find the road line after half a day, and after more than two hours, the troops sent by our superiors to rescue us also came, and there was a platoon, so we went back to save your father and them, and when we came to the place where we were scattered, your father was gone, and there was blood all over the place, and there was no body of our people, nor the body of the other man. We followed their tracks and bloodstains, and after walking for a few kilometers, we finally found the bodies of your father and a few other warriors! And my father was also very seriously injured and dying. ”

The woman paused and continued: "Later, we went to the hospital in the Tibetan area under the escort of the large army, and I applied to take care of your father there, and I was also approved by the organization, but because your father was seriously injured, even if he was cured, he could not continue to stay in the army, so your father recovered directly after his injury and returned to his hometown, and I already had a relationship with your father at that time, so I applied for rehabilitation, and then came back to Penzhou with him. ”

"Later, the two of us got married and gave birth to you a year later, but at this time, an accident changed the fate of our family of three again." The woman couldn't help but slowly close her eyes when she said this.

I asked what had happened.

The father sighed and said: "It was me who had an accident, your mother is a cadre's son, so her father, is my father-in-law, your grandfather did not agree with me to be with your mother, so he threatened your mother to divorce me by severing the father-daughter relationship, your mother is the only daughter in the family, it is impossible to leave your grandfather alone, so she can only go back to her hometown in the south." ”

I asked my father, what happened?

The father shook his head and said, "I don't want to mention that matter, if you want to know the way, go back and ask Uncle De, that matter was settled by Uncle De, and he knows the cause and effect of the matter very well." ”

I wanted to ask the woman next to me, but I couldn't ask because I could feel that she didn't want to tell the story that had separated her from my father for more than ten years.

It seems that I can only go back and ask Deye.
