A helicopter is a helicopter, and what flies in the sky is much faster than what runs on the ground. After we arrived at the Tianshan outpost and became familiar with it for a while, we understood: as a soldier, we must not only have a strong heart in various cultural environments, but also hone in various difficult and harsh natural environments, so as to create a real warrior of the god of war. Although it is summer nowadays, there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter on this mountain, and even in the summer season, it makes people feel very cold. At night, it's even colder, and because the location of the Tianshan Mountains is almost two hours away from Beijing's time zone, it doesn't get dark until around 10 o'clock.

I looked at the night of the Tianshan Mountains, and the distant sky was filled with red, pink and blue auroras, and even if there was no moon in the sky, the vast earth could be seen far away. Big Yellow Fang came up to me and chatted with me, because we were on duty during the day, we were more free at night.

I said to Big Yellow Tooth, "Old Huang, do you feel that we have achieved nothing in the past eight years? Big Yellow Fang put his hands behind his back, looked at the blinking stars on the distant horizon, and sighed: "Who told us to die!" When I was young, my family was poor, and I didn't have the ability to take care of my family, so I felt very good when I could be a soldier, so I waited for a few more years, and after retiring, I found a suitable job in my hometown to marry a mother-in-law and raise a baby, and I didn't have any big wishes in this life. I looked back at Big Yellow Tooth and asked him deliberately, "What is your greatest wish to be a soldier as a soldier!" Seeing my solemn expression, Big Yellow Tooth said to me solemnly: "Brother Liu, I won't tell you anything, after I became a soldier, I did have the greatest wish in my heart!" I couldn't help but be surprised, the reason why I joined the army in the first place was the same as Big Yellow Fang, just thinking that I could have the opportunity to change my family's poverty, but later I really realized that as a soldier, the purpose is to let the people of the motherland live a happy life of peace and security, and the biggest purpose is to make the world peaceful and free from strife. However, as far as I realized the logic, most soldiers can grasp it, but Big Yellow Fang has a greater desire, and I can't help but ask in amazement, "Oh? I don't know what kind of difficult thing Brother Yellow Tooth is referring to? Big Yellow Tooth straightened his chest and straightened his collar again, then turned back to me and said solemnly: "As a soldier, my greatest wish is to be able to ......" "What can you do?" I asked anxiously. "It's a privilege to be able to participate in the National Day military parade!" Big Yellow Fang said solemnly. I usually joke about other people's seriousness, but I definitely don't have the mood to joke today, because I am so ashamed that I have not even had my own wishes in so many years of military camp life! I was silent, recalling that a few years ago my grandfather had told me that there were no fewer people out of thirty, and it was getting dark after the fifteenth month. As a manly husband, if he still has no achievements in his year, then there may be no big hope in this life.

I was a little ashamed and said to Big Yellow Tooth: "Old Huang, this person, it is true that he will not live many days in this world, I just think, I have been in the barracks for so many years, and my career has not been successful, if I am still working in the kitchen now, maybe I will already become a first-class chef...... "I am not complaining about the boring life in the barracks, but after all, eight years of time!" I didn't even have anything. Big Yellow Fang could see that I had something on my mind, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, don't complain and sigh, you have to think about it." Oh! There's one more thing I forgot to tell you today." I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Does it concern me? Big Yellowtooth nodded, and he pulled a letter out of his pocket and handed it to me. I took the envelope and saw that it had been sent to me by my father from my hometown. Big Yellow Fang said: "You went to military training during the day, and you were not there when the correspondent handed over the letter, so I accepted it for you." I held the letter from my father, and my hands trembled uncontrollably, because I had been in the high-secret army for so many years, so I had no chance to contact my family, and now I can receive letters from my hometown, which means that my current situation may have been declassified to the extent of confidentiality. The letter probably said: Baby, your family is very good, don't worry, you have to learn your skills with peace of mind, and concentrate on accepting the cultivation of the motherland for you...... Since you are far away from the frontier, the villagers are very concerned about your marriage...... Your grandmother is old and confused, and she always talks to herself about when you're going to come back......"

I took the letter in my hand, I didn't finish reading it, I missed my hometown and was so excited that I was about to shed tears, I have seen many comrades-in-arms when they looked at the letters from their hometown, the tears dripped on the letterhead. I put the unfinished letter in my pocket, turned my head and sorted out my appearance, I didn't want to lose my temper in front of this old man like Big Yellow Fang, and I didn't want others to see that I was a weak person.

Big Yellow Tooth still seemed to think of it with some memory: "Lao Liu, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, it is a big event, very important!" I didn't get angry with him this time: "I said Comrade Huangya, can you report the investigation situation all at once!" ”

Big Yellow Fang looked left and right to see that there was no one -- in fact, in the middle of the night, except for one soldier on duty at the high sentry post, the rest of them were asleep. Big Yellow Fang wanted to whisper to me in my ear, but I was afraid that he would splash me in the face, so I pushed him away and said, "Don't be mysterious, if there is anything to report, can't you let the comrades hear it!" ”

Only then did Big Yellow Tooth come closer to me and said: "The superior has conveyed a notice this afternoon, our military training period and study period have arrived, and we want to rest in place for a few days before going to the General Military Region to participate in the assessment!" "When I heard the good news, I almost jumped for joy, and I felt like I had been amnesty, and I shouted a long cry to the quiet forest in the distance—but at the same time I was sternly warned by the sentry on duty. I hugged the big yellow tooth in anger and spun around, and now I had no more disgust for his mouth full of yellow teeth......

I said to Big Yellow Tooth: "Old Huang, since we haven't had anything to do lately, I want to go to the edge of the Tianshan Yao Pond, you don't know, I only want to go to two places in my life!" Big Yellow Fang said, "Oh? Are those two good places? ”

"I've never seen the sea in my life, I just want to see the sea in my lifetime, and I have no regrets in my life." Big Yellow Tooth smiled: "It's still 'alive'!" You Lao Liu is not over the age of six, and you can't bounce in the world for a few days. What's the second place you'd like to go? I said seriously: "That's Tianshan!" Big Yellow Tooth was a little puzzled: "I actually want to go to Yaochi, but I don't regard this as my greatest wish in this life, I just want to drink Tianchi water and eat Tianshan Snow Lotus, even if I can't ascend to heaven after death, at least I can eat and drink things that ordinary people can't taste in this paradise on earth." However, my greatest wish in this life is still that sentence: my dream is to participate in the National Day military parade! ”

I said to Big Yellow Fang: "Being able to participate in the National Day Parade is definitely the most honorable and meaningful thing for every soldier, and I also want to participate, but now that I am already in the Tianshan Mountains, then I should have a good time in this paradise on earth first, right?" Big Yellow Tooth also said happily: "Yes, yes, after I have drunk Tianshan water and eaten snow lotus, and then participate in the National Day military parade, then I am definitely a guardian of peace sent by heaven, and that is a real soldier!" I said, "You're almost there, if that's the case, the food in the barracks canteen would have been changed to stewed snow lotus flowers in Yaochi water!" The words made the soldiers on duty at the sentry also laugh. With his swarthy face, Big Yellow Tooth borrowed an off-road jeep from the Ordnance Administration, which was a four-wheel-drive vehicle without a roof, which was especially suitable for driving on rough mountain roads, and it was not bad to enjoy the scenery today. I sat in the passenger seat, with Big Yellow Tooth as the driver. For the first time in such a long time on the Tianshan Mountain, I came out to play freely, and at this time I felt that the sky was particularly blue, the clouds were particularly white, the grass was particularly green, and the flowers were particularly fragrant. Maybe it's because I'm going to drink the water of Yaochi, this big yellow tooth looked excited all the way, and the hand holding the steering wheel was a little trembling when driving, I said: "You can't drive slowly, Lao Huang, you're not in a hurry to carry out the task, why panic!" ”

Big Yellow Fang said, "You don't know anything! In order to drink the water of Yaochi, I haven't drunk water in the barracks for three days, and I am very thirsty! Suddenly, I heard something clanging behind me, and when I turned around, hey, this kid with Big Yellow Tooth actually brought a dozen military kettles. I said, "Comrade Huangya, you won't!" I'm also going to make a few pots for my comrades in the dormitory! Who knew that Big Yellow Fang said, "What! This is for me! I said, "No, no!" It's not that the water in Yao Pond is going to dry up, and it needs to be spared! You just move Tianshan back to your hometown of Luliang. In the future, the villagers of Luliang, Shanxi, who are extremely short of water resources, will be able to drink the water of Tianshan Yao Pond without leaving home, ah! Big Yellow Fang didn't pay attention to me, just focused on driving, and drove fast, and after a while, the car was bumpy on the mountain road. Before I got out of the car, I saw Big Yellow Tooth lying on the edge of the water, holding the water of Yao Chi with his hand and drinking it. I was a good Samaritan and helped him carry a dozen military kettles and squatted at the water's edge to help him fetch water. I looked around while fetching water, and the big yellow tooth was polite enough, and I didn't say thank you, I just cared about drinking enough for myself. I suddenly saw a golden flower in the crack of the stone not far away, which was actually a snow lotus, so I deliberately joked: "Lao Huang, you say, what will be the yellow flower that was born in the snowdrift and grows in the crack of the stone on this Tianshan Mountain?" Big Yellow Fang seemed to suddenly realize, raised his head and asked, "Where?" I pointed to the yellow flower not far away and said, "That! I saw the big yellow tooth rush over, so fast that he couldn't stop his feet, and simply slipped on his knees for a kneel before stopping, just next to the snow lotus, only to see his eyes glow with a strange brilliance. I was about to remind him that he was only allowed to see and not touch, it was a rare plant. Unexpectedly, I was one step slower, and the big yellow tooth had already uprooted the snow lotus.
