Chapter 18: Passing in front of the monument
Long Tianxing's pace was faster, the sound of crutches hitting the ground became more and more urgent, and his old voice did not keep talking.
After the founding of the country, I was awarded the rank of colonel! Also the day after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I took off my military uniform and returned to my hometown.
The world is peaceful, but our country is poor and weak! Years of war have made the entire land of China full of potholes.
The 40,000,000 descendants of China died too much in the Second World War.
The United States, which lives at the foot of our China, will not stop, bombing the Yalu River and invading North Korea.
At that time, I received an order to recover, served as the head of the Iron Fist Regiment, and advanced to the 38th parallel.
Hehehe......
Long Tianxing's old voice laughed, and then began to speak.
I am an out-and-out butcher, and I am also the only general on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea who does not want to be taken prisoner.
Those Koreans, hehehe...... It's even more frightening ass urine flow.
Long Tianxing's old smile was sad, and then he sighed.
Many of my brothers and many volunteers froze to death in Korea, and many people died, and I was wounded again during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
It was a wealthy businessman from North Korea who saved me, and in order to cure me, he was sent from North Korea to the Soviet Union, and as soon as I stayed in the Soviet Union, it was 1980, and when I came back, I caught up with the great era of reform and opening up.
Ryuuji was still alive, and the moment I got home, he with the same sideburns and white hair as me was crying together.
Ryuzo is still alive, he is a scientist, and when he heard the news that I was back and still alive, he was excited to make a train back.
My wife is gone, and she left in 1978! Didn't wait for me to come back.
I still have people who are sorry, and my eldest son, the second son did not come back, and your second grandfather and I drove the mule and horse-drawn carts to Henan and Sichuan.
Your second grandfather and I, one drove a mule cart, and the other led a family, let them sit in the back, and we hurried, whip after whip, and took them back.
When he arrived at the ancestral tomb, stone monuments stood on the top of the mountain, and Long Tianxing stopped and gasped for a while.
He walked to a stone tablet with Long Jianguo's name engraved on it, Long Tianxing's hand trembled, ** The name engraved on the stone tablet.
Vietnam counterattack, after he Long Tianxing, the first regiment commander! In order to maintain the dignity of the country, he sacrificed his life.
This eldest son, whom he had never even seen, was brought back by him who traveled thousands of miles to Vietnam, and was buried in the ancestral grave.
The only thing left for Long Tianxing was the blurry black and white photo.
Long Tianxing's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, this was the biggest regret in his life, he didn't see his eldest son.
"Grandpa!" Long Yue shouted, very worried, and went to support Long Tianxing.
Long Tianxing waved his hand, signaling that he was fine.
With Long Yue's support, Long Tianxing got up tremblingly, he walked to the tombstones, touched the names of the tombstones, as if he saw familiar faces.
Long Nier, Wang Yanzhi, father, mother, father-in-law, Piaoxi, Cai Nier, Long Tianxing seemed to be able to hear their voices and see their smiles.
And the first two grandchildren who were once around his knees, dead and alive......
After seeing everyone, Long Tianxing went down the mountain! After sunset, we returned to our compound.
Long Yue looked at the tired grandfather, didn't say anything anymore, began to boil water to cook, and after eating and drinking, he waited for Long Tianxing to go to bed and prepare to leave.
"Long Yue, take grandpa to the county martyr's garden tomorrow." Long Tianxing said suddenly.
"Good! Grandpa, I'll take you there early tomorrow morning. Long Yue agreed, stepped out of the courtyard, and sighed inexplicably.
The next day, Long Tianxing got up early, took a handful of grain, and gave the chickens in the yard again: "Eat, I can't eat anymore, I'm leaving." ”
The sky was not yet dawn, and Long Tianxing, who was still mixed and heavy, was on crutches, staring at the village and the mountains in front of him.
The sound of gunfire, cannons, and fighting echoed in his ears.
A bright red sedan was driven by the dragon: "Grandpa got up so early." ”
"Waiting for you? Go to the county seat early, drink a bowl of bean foam, and eat some fritters. Long Tianxing said with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face piled up.
"Haole, grandpa, get in the car! You military uniform, you are really spirited. Long Yue praised.
Long Tianxing laughed happily, and got into the car with the help of Long Yue, he deliberately changed into a military uniform that was awarded when he founded the country, and the military uniform was full of military merit medals, which he had always cherished.
Along the way, Long Tianxing looked at the mountains and rivers, and arrived at the county seat, the county seat was very lively, people came and went, after drinking the bean foam and eating fritters, he personally bought two bottles of Erguotou, and was sent to the martyr's garden by Long Yue.
The tombstones of revolutionary martyrs are lined up, commemorative coins more than three meters high stand in the center, and the monuments are covered with flower baskets.
Long Tianxing staggered up the stairs of the monument, Long Yue was by his side, and the two bottles of Erguotou that he bought were personally carried by Long Tianxing in his hands.
There is always an end to the stairs, Long Tianxing threw his crutches, broke free of Long Yue, and squatted under the monument, stretching out his hand to ** the monument.
"Brothers, I'm coming! I'm Long Tianxing to see you here, okay! You're all waiting for me. ”
"Hehehe...... I brought the strongest wine in New China, and now it's 2017, I've lived for two centuries, a hundred years old, and I promised you, I did it, and I lived well. ”
Long Tianxing unscrewed the lid of the wine, took a sip of it himself, and then spilled it on the monument.
Long Tianxing looked at the monument quietly, and it seemed that the monument was full of brothers looking at him and calling him.
"Commander, Commander."
"Captain, Captain."
"Camp, camp."
Listening to the sound of the call and looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Long Tianxing smiled, smiled very peacefully, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Now the country is developed, and the weapons are the most advanced in the world."
"The country is also rich, and there are no more poor people who starve to death."
"Our country has money, and the United States owes us national debt."
"Brothers, I see the tall buildings, I see the cars that run very fast, they are all made of steel, they run faster than they fly, and they can exhaust horses to death."
"In the past, the Americans had atomic bombs, nuclear weapons, and airplanes, but now our country has them, and there are aircraft carriers that the whole world is afraid of, and our country also has them, and no country dares to bully us anymore, and no country dares to annoy us anymore, and now they are all afraid."
"Brothers, I have heard your shouts, and you have waited too long, and when you go underground, I am speaking to you......"
Only the unfinished words echoed in Long Tianxing's heart, and the hundred-year-old Long Tianxing lost his vitality and passed away in front of the monument.
