Chapter 90: Joy in Suffering
Liu Yizhang wiped away his tears, took Liu Muyan's hand and introduced it to everyone, Liu Muyan also burst into tears and laughed, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find someone among the millions of volunteer soldiers, this is like making up a story inadvertently ran into Yizhang, just like the commentary said, 'There is no place to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it', she smiled and said to Yizhang, "Yizhang, I knew that you were on the Korean battlefield half a month ago, but I don't know which unit you are in." ”
"Auntie, how do you know? Got a letter from your hometown? ”
"Yizhang, in order to avoid worrying my family, I haven't been in contact with my family since I came to the Korean battlefield."
"Auntie, how did you know about me?"
"Yizhang, I won't tell you first, even if it's a puzzle, I'll see if you soldiers, who can find out the riddle."
As soon as Liu Muyan's voice fell, Liu Yan was the first to guess, "Dean Liu, hello, let me introduce myself first, I am your nephew Liu Yizhang's best friend, also surnamed Liu, my name is Liu Yan, and now I am Commander Wu's secretary, I have recently written a number of articles about Yizhang, all of which have been published in the journal of the Corps, you must have read the articles I wrote, right?" ”
"No, if you read the article you wrote, wouldn't Dean Liu know that Yizhang was in the Seventy-seventh Army?" Zhou Zhengkang denied Liu Yan's speculation.
Seeing that everyone began to guess, Liu Muyan said with a smile, "Don't guess, everyone, I know through a person." Wu Xiangsen seemed to understand when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "Dean Liu, don't tell the answer to the riddle, let us guess, I want to see who has strong reconnaissance ability." Then he glanced at Wang Peng lying on the hospital bed, and asked with a smile, "Wang Peng, that person can't be you, right?" ”
"Commander, this is impossible, if Wang Peng told Dean Liu, could he still be so embarrassed just now?" Zhou Zhengkang categorically denied it.
Yizhang didn't guess, since it was an investigation, he quickly looked for clues, he suspected that this person was most likely from Shuangliu Village, and the descendants from Shuangliu Village were all recruits, and it was impossible to be sent here for treatment, unless he was here to send the wounded, Yizhang's eyes lit up, and he said to Liu Muyan with confidence, "Auntie, don't let everyone guess, they will never guess even if it is dark, unless it is a fairy." This person is the only one I know, he has known you since childhood like me, I didn't recognize you just now because I haven't seen you for more than ten years, the reason why you have changed too much, just like you just heard Liu Yan call my name, you dare to be sure that it is me, this group of recruits from our Shuangliu Village to North Korea has the opportunity to come here, only one person is most likely, he is very familiar with the people in the Liu family compound, he is the automobile soldier Wang Shoujiang of the Corps Transportation Brigade, right? ”
Liu Muyan listened to Yizhang's analysis, happy as a child, she looked at the people around her, they were all stunned, she gave Yizhang a thumbs up, and said proudly, "It's still my nephew who is smart, Yizhang analyzed it meticulously, as if he had seen it with his own eyes on the spot, that person is Wang Shoujiang, a car soldier who is responsible for transporting the wounded to the field hospital." The atmosphere in the cave was much happier all of a sudden, Wang Peng also had a good meal, he said to Liu Muyan sincerely, "Muyan, congratulations on meeting your loved ones in this war-torn battlefield, if I knew that Yizhang was your nephew, I would have told you a letter, you may not know, right?" Yizhang is now the commander of the guard company of our 77th Army, I almost lost my life twice in this battle of Toxinli, Shi Ying saved me for the second time, the first time was when I and the 402nd Regiment fell into the plum blossoms, and at the moment of life and death when the ammunition and food were exhausted, it was Yizhang who risked his life to enter the plum blossoms to rescue me and the brothers of the 402nd Regiment from the encirclement......" said the excitement, Wang Peng coughed nonstop, Liu Muyan quickly interrupted him, "Wang Peng, you just listen with your ears, and it's not too late to tell me about the things on the battlefield when you heal from your injuries." ”
Wu Xiangsen also advised Wang Peng not to think too much and to recuperate, he asked Liu Muyan with a smile, "Dean Liu, you and Wang Peng have known each other for a long time?" Liu Muyan nodded, her face was slightly red, she looked at Wang Peng gently, and said loudly, "Commander Wu, Wang Peng and I are old comrades-in-arms, we both knew each other during the Anti-Japanese War, and both worked at the headquarters of the Jiaodong Military Region, he was a guard, I was a hygienist, and then I went to Shanghai to study medicine, and he went to the Northeast with the army, which is not here again." Wang Peng smiled and nodded to Wu Xiangsen, Wu Xiangsen also nodded thoughtfully, Liu Yizhang's mind was not on their conversation, he knew from his aunt that Wang Shoujiang was still alive, and he was very happy, but then he remembered Houzhang and them, especially Qingzhang and Enzhang, who died so tragically, he heard Liu Yan say, Liu Yan also read the materials declared by the 303rd Regiment to the military headquarters to know that Liu Enzhang used his own flesh and blood to blow up the enemy's dark fort and heavy machine gun, and the thirteen descendants who came out of Shuangliu Village, Liu Yizhang knew that only Wang Shoujiang was still alive, and it was determined that there were as many as seven people who had been sacrificed, he couldn't help but feel sad, just now when he saw his aunt, the excitement and happiness of the moment disappeared without a trace, he stood there with his head down and thought about his thoughts, and said that men don't flick when they have tears, but since Liu Yizhang entered the Korean battlefield, he has saved up the tears of the first eighteen years to the past few months, and even Wang Peng, who was seriously injured and bedridden just now, a regiment commander who fought to the death for the country, couldn't even eat a white film, and was reluctant to eat an egg, Yizhang couldn't help but burst into tears! Suffering, our motherland is like a scalper walking in a storm, forging ahead without fear of wind and rain!
Everyone found out, Yizhang's mood suddenly became low, and Liu Muyan comforted him softly, "Yizhang, when you see my aunt and me, do you miss your family more?" ”
Yizhang raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears, how he wanted to tell his aunt that Liu Houzhang is dead, he is also your nephew like me, and there are other good sons of the Liu clan, Liu Qingzhang, Liu Enzhang, and Liu Yuzhang........ Yizhang held back, he knew that his aunt had been away from home for many years, and the nostalgia was very strong but it had long been wrong, and he told her that these sad things were out of place, he smiled bitterly, and said calmly to Mu Yan, "Auntie, I suddenly saw you, and then I learned from you that the guard was still alive, I cried with joy, I think my uncle and uncle would be so happy if they knew that I was with you now!" ”
Wang Peng said earnestly to Wu Xiangsen, "Commander Wu, now that the troops are resting, let Yizhang stay in the field hospital for a night today, he and Mu Yan haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and there must be a lot of confidant to say to relieve the pain of lovesickness." Wu Xiangsen looked at Yizhang and nodded, which was considered to be an agreement.
Yizhang said categorically to Wu Xiangsen, "No need, army commander, the army is disciplined, I am the commander of the guard company, and I cannot slack off in protecting the safety of the military department." He looked at Liu Muyan again and said with a smile, "I haven't seen each other for ten years, and it's not an overnight day, right, aunt?" ”
Liu Muyan hugged Yizhang's arm with satisfaction and said proudly, "Yizhang, you are really good, and my aunt thinks so too!" As a soldier, you should sleep at night, you are the same as my brother De, the public and private are clear, and the overall situation is important, you are worthy of being a good man in my Liu family compound! ”
Liu Yan interjected, "Dean Liu, of course Yizhang is a good man, it seems that you really haven't read the organ newspaper of the Corps, I have written a lot of stories of Yizhang's heroic battles." Yizhang smiled and joked to Liu Yan, "Secretary Liu, the conditions in the field hospital are so difficult, and you have to avoid enemy reconnaissance and bombing at any time, where is the condition to read books and newspapers, besides, I don't approve of the articles you wrote, and the water is too big, after the next article is written, I suggest that you don't rush to submit the article first, it's best to take it to the sun to bask in the water." Everyone laughed when they heard this, Yizhang and Liu Yan are now good brothers who talk about everything, and they often tease each other.
Liu Muyan smiled and said to Wu Xiangsen, "Commander Wu, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I asked Shi Ying to go to the logistics to get everyone something to eat, and I went out for a walk with Yizhang. After speaking, he pulled Yizhang and walked out of the cave.
