Huo Danjun smiled bitterly: "Life is forced." I remember when I was in junior high school, there was a heavy snowfall one year, and I had to walk through a deep stream on a mountain road. The road was slippery on a snowy day, and just as I was passing through the deep stream, I slipped with one foot, fell to the ground, and rolled into the deep stream like a gourd. Fortunately, the deep stream was frozen, and there was a thick layer of snow on it, otherwise if I had fallen into it, there would have been no one in the world. When I climbed up from the stream, I secretly swore that I would have to make a difference in my life, and that I would not let my son suffer this kind of sin! ”

Ba Pingtao stepped forward and asked, "Team Huo, how old were you at that time?" ”

Huo Danjun thought for a moment and said, "I just entered the first year of junior high school, probably fourteen or fifteen years old." ”

Ba Pingtao laughed and said, "Damn! When I was so young, I thought about my son, and you really thought about it in the long run. ”

Everyone laughed.

Huo Danjun said: "Lao Ba, you don't know the suffering of our rural children. Especially for rural children in poor areas in the north, it is a sin to go to school in winter. Zhong Yunan said: "Team Huo, I can understand your feelings, and I have experienced those days." It is a well-known fact that Zhong Yunan has the best family conditions among the special operations team. Everyone thought he was joking to comfort Huo Danjun.

"You? Brother Zhong, won't you? Guo asked in disbelief.

Pang Lizhen is Zhong Yunan's wife, understands his past, and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, our old Zhong has a lot of hard lives. ”

"Xiao Zhong, let's hear it." Huo Danjun asked with interest. Zhong Kongnan said: "Let's go forward, I'll talk as we go." ”

Everyone raised their feet and continued to walk forward, and Zhong Yunan began to tell about his unknown past.

"My grandparents were both from the countryside, and my father later joined the army, and because of his outstanding performance, he was favored by the head of the ministry and was able to stay in the ministry. Later, I took root in the city where the team was stationed, and my mother was the daughter of a family of workers in that city, and I was born a year after the two of them got married. Because my parents were busy with work, I was weaned at the age of three and sent to my grandparents' house in the countryside, where they took care of me. There was a big event in 1984 that should have been known to those who were a little older. ”

He looked at Huo Danjun, who frowned and thought about it.

"You're talking about the Lao Son War with Vietnam?" Zhong Yunan nodded and continued to tell his story, "That's when my dad was sent to the front line and disappeared under artillery fire. Later, my father's body was not found, and my mother was convinced that my father was still alive, so she quit her job and began to search for my father's traces along the front line of Laoshan despite my grandfather's objections. Three months later, my mother lost all contact with the family and was never heard from. My dad only showed up when I was ten years old, he was injured in the head during the war and lost his memory. Later, my brain was hit again, and I recovered my memory, so I sneaked back to China from the border between Vietnam and China despite all the difficulties and dangers. When he learned that my mom had disappeared because he was looking for him, he almost broke down. He only went home to see me and my elderly grandparents, and in less than two days, he left home. Later I found out that my dad was going to see my mom. In a mountain forest near the battlefield, my father found the cloth bag and a pile of bones that my mother had carried. ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were sad. The two women, Pang Lizhen and Sha Yunjuan, have already cried and their eyes are red.

"My mother had no experience in the wilderness, so she walked alone in the mountains and forests, and that was the case when misfortune happened. My dad brought back my mother's bones, and the team couldn't go back, because no one could be sure where he had gone for seven or eight years since he was a child. On the roster of the troops, he has become a martyr. At that time, some of my comrades-in-arms knew that he was still alive, and some of them were very happy, and a small number of people looked at my father with suspicion and speculation, thinking that he had betrayed the country and made a spy. My father left the unit in a fit of rage, and with the help of a few close comrades-in-arms, he started transportation, and later established a logistics company. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and now that the company is listed on the main board, he has become the head of the group, and I have become a rich second generation in such a daze. Zhong Yunan's story was finished, and the whole person seemed very calm. Over the years, the scars in his heart have long been healed, and he can't do anything about his mother's death, but fortunately, his father has been recovered, and his father is definitely a good father! Zhong Yunan's father is still alone, with his current status and financial resources, I don't know how many women want to throw themselves into his arms, but for so many years, in order to be loyal to his dead wife, he has almost become an indifferent man who is insulated from women. …,

He will always remember that his wife died to find him!

"By the way, Xiao Zhong, why do you like our business? With your family conditions, it's not better to be a big young master who spends all day drinking. Qi Weizhuang asked. Zhong Yunan said: "My mother's death gave me a lot of attention, I thought that if my mother knew some knowledge of survival in the wild, maybe she could escape, so then I began to touch this aspect, and over time, I became addicted and couldn't extricate myself." ”

"How many years are you Chinese New Year's Eve now, your father is about sixty years old, what about your family's business?" Qi Weizhuang asked again.

Zhong Yunan understood what he meant, and asked him if he planned to take over his father's business, and said: "My father seems to feel ashamed of me, so he never forces me to do anything, and I really have no interest in doing business." If one day he can't do it, I have an idea to sell the company and donate all the money to build schools and hospitals in poor areas. Over the years, I have traveled to many places, most of which are remote and economically backward, where children do not know anything about the outside world, and in some places there is no health center within a hundred miles. ”

Most of the seven of them have experienced the test of life and death, and in the process of brushing shoulders with death, it is the easiest to enlighten. If ordinary people think that Zhong Yunan wants to sell the public office that his father has worked hard for most of his life to donate money to build schools and hospitals, he will definitely think that this person is crazy or has an abnormal brain.

But in the eyes of Huo Danjun, a group of people who have experienced life and death, fame, fortune and money are all things outside the body, and only inner peace and satisfaction are the most important. Therefore, everyone not only didn't think Zhong Yunan's idea was ridiculous, but felt that it should have been like this.

After listening to the story told by Zhong Yunan, the atmosphere was a little heavy. The crowd didn't talk much along the way, holding cameras to capture what they thought was a beautiful view. When you get to the end of the front street, you turn into the back street. The back street and the front street must have a lot more dilapidated tiled houses.

Front Street is the place where the town government of Damiaozi Town is located, and it is a well-deserved economic and political center of Damiaozi Town. There are also many people in the back street who have opened shops, but because of the low flow of people, the business here is generally not as good as the front street.

"By the way, what's the name of this town?" Huo Danjun asked.

Guo Yutao said: "Team Huo, it seems to be called Damiaozi Town." ”

"yes, that's the name." Huo Danjun said affirmatively, "Then why is it called this name?" Could it be that there is a temple in the town? ”

Everyone didn't expect to explore from the name of the town, and after hearing what Huo Danjun said, they all became interested.

Ba Pingtao said: "According to my experience, in this kind of poor town, if there are buildings such as temples and temples, they must be of some age. If there is a big temple in this town, maybe it is an ancient temple, brothers and sisters, we may have an adventure! ”

Huo Danjun nodded, "What Lao Ba said makes sense, let's go ahead and take a look, and if we meet someone, we'll ask." ”

After that, everyone continued to walk forward with anticipation in their hearts.

At this moment, the sun had completely set. There is a dark shadow in the town of Damiaozi, and there are even fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The crowd walked forward for a while, and they didn't even touch anyone. Just as they wanted to ask the family, Qiu Weijia came over on a motorcycle.

Ding Xiaojuan was almost ready for dinner, Qiu Weijia went out to invite the people of the special operations team to come over, and when they arrived at the town guest house, Zhu Dazhi told him that the group of people had gone out, saying that they were going to walk around the town. …,

Qiu Weijia thought that there were only two streets, and it should not be difficult to find, so he rode a motorcycle to find it, but there was no front street, and he thought that it should be in the back street. Sure enough, I found Huo Danjun and his party in the back street.

"Captain Huo, oops, I've finally found you. The meals at home are ready, come with me. ”

When Huo Danjun looked at the time, it turned out that it was almost six o'clock, no wonder the town was completely dark.

"Everyone, Xiao Qiu has come to invite us, let's go with him."

Everyone put away the equipment in their hands, followed Qiu Weijia, and went to his house. Qiu Weijia's family lives in Front Street, and he took everyone around and returned to Front Street. Huo Danjun thought that he couldn't go to Qiu Weijia's house for the first time, so he said to Pang Lizhen and Sha Yunjuan.

"Xiao Pang, Xiao Sha, you go up and take some of the things we brought, and treat them as gifts for others."

Walking to the door of the guest house, Huo Danjun asked Qiu Weijia to stop, "Xiao Qiu, stop and wait for a while, Xiao Pang and Xiao Sha have something to do." ”

"Okay." Qiu Weijia propped up his motorcycle in front of the guest house and took out a cigarette from his arms, "Everyone, do you smoke?" ”

There was no one in the group of men who didn't smoke, so Qiu Weijia scattered one by one and said with a smile: "This is our local cigarette, six yuan a pack, everyone will order it, don't be too bad." ”

Fortunately, Huo Danjun's group of people are not particular, and they have a very good impression of Qiu Weijia, an enthusiastic local.
