Chapter 599: It's Time to Go
"When I saw my mother slumped on the ground, I couldn't understand what it was, so I went to her side and tried to comfort her, but my mother hugged me and said to me, 'Xiao Wu, from today onwards, I don't have a husband, and you don't have a father. But we still have to be strong'! ”
The monk's voice was very calm, calm and sad.
The warrior monk did not look at the crowd, but lowered his head, as if caught in a memory.
It took about two seconds for the monk to take the microphone and continue.
"There were many people who came to my father's funeral, but I didn't even get to see my father for the last time. The reason was simple, because my father was already unrecognizable at the time, and my mother covered my eyes throughout the funeral, not letting me look at them, for fear that I would leave a shadow. ”
"Everyone who came to the funeral told me that my father was a hero, but at that time I didn't want a heroic father, I just wanted an ordinary father."
Speaking of which, the warrior monk's mood fluctuated slightly.
Then quickly, the warrior monk suppressed these emotions and continued to speak.
"It may be hard for you to believe it, but at that time I did have some hatred for my father, I hated him, why only think about everyone and not about myself. Hate him, why didn't he think that there was still his son here, and his wife was waiting for him.
In this way, I grew up with confusion and anger. ”
"Then a year before I joined the army, I had a special guest in my house, an uncle who was missing a leg."
"When I went home that day, when that uncle saw me, his expression was very happy, and he rushed towards me with a cane, and even fell when he rushed over because he was too excited."
However, he didn't care, and quickly got up and continued to run towards me. When I saw him, I wondered, who was he and why was he so excited to see me? ”
"Later, I learned that this uncle was my father's comrade-in-arms and a survivor of the fire."
"When I saw that uncle, I actually had mixed feelings, because I hadn't come out of my father's shadow for so many years.
And while he sat at our house, I finally asked the deepest question in my heart. ”
At this moment, the warrior monk raised his head, held the microphone, and looked at all the recruits with a determined gaze.
"I asked him what really happened!"
"The uncle told me that at that time they were on the verge of being discharged, and even their uniforms had been returned to the army! However, when the alarm sounded, not only my father, but the veterans of their entire fire squadron resolutely put on the firefighting uniforms again! ”
When I heard that, I didn't understand it! They are obviously about to be discharged from the army, and they have even handed over their military uniforms, and without military uniforms, is he still a soldier? ”
"And the uncle told me that a soldier is not a soldier because you wear this uniform, a soldier is a faith, a soldier is a dream, and a soldier is a soul! Being a soldier is a kind of pride that is engraved in your bones.
So when the fire alarm sounded, even if they handed over their uniforms, they were still veterans in their bones. ”
Speaking of this, the warrior monk suddenly smiled. Laughing made everyone feel inexplicable, why did he suddenly laugh at this thing while talking about it, is there anything to laugh at?
The warrior monk said to everyone with a smile: "Maybe you think that those martyrs actually have many thoughts about sacrificing their lives for the country, serving the people, and so on!" But my uncle told me that they didn't really have that many ideas, at least at that moment, they just wanted to do their job! What a forest firefighter should do! ”
"When that uncle left, I still remember him patting me on the shoulder with tears in his eyes and saying to me, your father is a hero, he saved many, many people! So don't hate him! ”
"However, after the uncle left, I was still confused for a while, he said that I was a father and a hero, but after all these years, who still remembers him? Is an unremembered hero really still a hero? ”
"When I got old, the local armed forces came and asked me if I wanted to be a soldier. I was very resistant to being a soldier, so I wanted to say no. But my mother told me not to make decisions so quickly. ”
"After much consideration, I made a decision, I decided to go and see where my father had served. So I packed my bags and went to the unit where my unit had served before I was alive. ”
"When I came to the opposing unit, I said my father's name, and everyone in the fire squadron received me very warmly, and when I told the squadron leader of that squadron about my doubts, the squadron leader smiled and took me down the mountain to a small village at the bottom of the mountain."
"When I came to that village, when the squadron leader said my father's name, everyone in the village welcomed me warmly. I wondered why my father's name was so warmly received here.
After that, the village chief took me to the head of the village, where there was a tablet, and I saw my father's name on the tablet. ”
"I looked at my father's name and suddenly had very mixed feelings. At this time, the squadron leader of the fire squadron said to me, there are many things that you should not do, only whether you should do it at the moment. Maybe as the years go by, the old people in this village will slowly leave, and they will forget your father.
With the passage of time, maybe this monument will slowly blur, and eventually the name on it will become blurred, but what my father did is not for nothing, the country will remember him, every inch of the country will remember him, every river will remember him, and this is what he is worth! ”
When the warrior monk said this, the eyes of many people on the field were red, and Wang Aiguo looked at the warrior monk and couldn't help but smile slightly.
This is the warrior monk in his impression, brave, upright, and responsible.
Soon the warrior monk continued: "After returning from that village, I decided to sign up for the army, not for anything else, but to continue to protect the country for my father.
I am my father's son, I should do what he wants to do for him, take good care of this country for him, and protect this country well! ”
When Wang Aiguo heard this, he suddenly found that there was a soft piece in his hand
Wang Aiguo was stunned for a moment, but saw the beautiful girl holding his hand with red eyes.
Wang Aiguo smiled and stroked the beauty's hair, but did not speak.
The warrior monk's eyes swept over the entire playground, and at this time, there were already many people on the playground with red eyes, and even some of them had relatively low tears, and they had begun to cry slowly.
The warrior monk smiled, and then set his eyes on Wang Aiguo.
"And when I actually came to the army, I realized that there are many people who are like my father who silently protect this country.
Some of these people are on the top of the mountains, some are deep in the forest, some are in the middle of the sea. None of them are known, but they are still heroes, they are heroes who defend the territory of the country.
On top of that, I met a very special group of people. They are by my side, growing up with me, happy with me, and uncomfortable with me.
It is because of such a group of people that I understand why my father said that the army is a big family, and here we are a group of brothers who are not related by blood. ”
Speaking of this, the warrior monk suddenly paused, and only after a while did he continue:
"I don't want to say anything grandiose, and I don't want to tell everyone that I want to be a soldier who stands up to the sky. I still want to say that I don't regret joining the army, I don't regret coming to the army, and I don't regret becoming a soldier. Coming here is the greatest pride in my life! ”
After the warrior monk finished speaking, he put down the microphone and bowed deeply to everyone.
And at this moment, thunderous applause also sounded on the playground.
Looking at the warrior monks bathed in applause, Wang Aiguo smiled with satisfaction.
He thought that the warrior monk couldn't cope with this scene, but he didn't expect the warrior monk to behave well.
Soon, the captain stepped forward to replace the warrior monk and announced the beginning of the investiture ceremony.
When the oath sounded again, Wang Aiguo couldn't help but clench his right hand into a fist and read out the long-lost oath with everyone.
In fact, from the perspective of speech, the warrior monk's speech is not so good, but the warrior monk's words are particularly easy to touch, because this is a true story, and the warrior monk's words make people feel that this is closer to reality and more empathetic.
Soon the oath was completed, and the warrior monk also walked down from the podium, and when the warrior monk walked in front of Wang Aiguo, Wang Aiguo greeted him with a smile and smashed the warrior monk's shoulder with his fist.
"Hehe, I'm so nervous, a lecture is ten minutes, and I thought that if the speech was gone, you wouldn't be able to do it, but I didn't expect it to be good. Anyway, you don't usually talk so much, why did you talk so much today? ”
The warrior monk looked at Wang Aiguo, then at so many recruits, and finally had a smile like sunshine on his face.
"I don't know, but I'd love to say something from my heart today. I want them to know that being a soldier is a proud thing, and I hope they will always remember today's blood! ”
After the warrior monk finished speaking, everyone looked at the warrior monk with respect.
And Wang Aiguo looked at the strange appearance of the warrior monk, slightly stunned, and suddenly his face changed after a while.
"Monk, don't you ......?"
The warrior monk looked at Wang Aiguo with a smile, and he knew that Wang Aiguo had guessed.
"Well, it's time for me to go!" The warrior monk said with a flat face.
It was just a simple 5 words, but it made Wang Aiguo's heart feel like he had been pierced by a bullet, and he was very uncomfortable.
Everyone has been together for so long, and Wang Aiguo is really reluctant to give up on the warrior monks.
However, he also knew that the warrior monk did not belong here, and it was time for him to leave.
"So...... Bon voyage! Wang Aiguo smiled and stretched out his hand to the warrior monk.
"Hmm!"
