Chapter 100: Memorial Service

86_86034There was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door of the auditorium, and then a man in the prime of life walked in with his old father in his arms. Peng Fei and the others all stood up and greeted them.

"Uncle, is there anything wrong with you coming here so late?" Zhou Changzhi asked.

"It's fine, I just can't sleep, so I want to come and talk to my son."

"Oh, sit down here, then." Zhou Changzhi helped the old man to the position near the coffin, and then brought two more horses over and asked the father and son to sit down.

After the old man sat down, he waved his hand at Zhou Changzhi and said, "Okay, just have our two masters here, you all go back to sleep." As the saying goes, the first thirty is not enough, and the last thirty is not enough. I know that you young people love to be sleepy, and Wang Peng used to love to sleep when he was at home. But not when it comes to the troops. In the letter, he said that he should get up on time every day and not let him sleep too much. As he spoke, the old man tilted his head and glanced at the coffin containing Wang Peng's body. But now, he can sleep peacefully. By the way, Wang Peng also said in the letter that the army has to train every day, if you don't hurry back to sleep, how will you train tomorrow? Go back to sleep! ”

Zhou Changzhi and Peng Fei exchanged glances, and then said to the old man: "Uncle, then we will go out first, and you will call us if you have something." ”

"I'm fine, you go back to sleep."

Zhou Changzhi took Peng Fei and walked out of the auditorium, but they did not go back to sleep in the dormitory. Instead, they were divided into two groups, one group to guard the door, and the other group to guard under the window. This is to prevent accidents from happening, after all, these two are too unreassuring. Let's take the old man as an example, he was not in good health after a stroke, he just experienced the pain of losing his wife and now he has lost his son, in case the old disease recurs or something, so he can go in time to help. As for the one who is not very bright-headed, how can the old man get him if he comes up, it is better for someone outside to watch it.

It was 4 o'clock, and the sky was getting brighter. However, neither Peng Fei nor He Bei went to train today, just waiting silently outside the door with their comrades. It wasn't until the wake-up call sounded that the father and son in the auditorium slowly walked out. When he saw Zhou Changzhi and Peng Fei, the old man asked in surprise, "Have you been outside the door all the time?" Why didn't you go back to sleep? ”

"How do you answer that we are not sleepy? But there must be dark circles around the eyes. Say we're here to prevent you from having an accident? It doesn't seem to be very good......" Zhou Changzhi didn't know what to say for a while.

"Because we are his comrades." Peng Fei replied.

The old man nodded, "Wang Peng should be happy to have you comrades-in-arms." ”

"We are also proud to have a comrade like him!"

"Really?" The old man's cloudy eyes instantly bloomed with a little brilliance.

"Really. We will always remember Him, and He will always live in our hearts! ”

The old man has not shed a single tear since he came here. But it doesn't mean that you are not sad, you are just trying your best to restrain yourself. And now after listening to Peng Fei's words, he finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

In fact, crying is not a bad thing. It's just that his cry caused several soldiers with shallow eye sockets to cry too.

At this time, squad leader Xia and Zhang Xiaoquan also came over. Seeing that the father and son were crying sadly, the summer squad leader comforted them and took them away.

"Look at you, you were doing well, but you ended up crying everyone." While complaining about Peng Fei, Zhou Changzhi took out a few pieces of toilet paper from his pocket and handed them to a few soldiers who were wiping their tears.

"Any idea why women live longer on average than men? Just because women love to cry. Therefore, it is not a bad thing to cry properly, but on the contrary, it is a good thing. It can relieve stress and eliminate some negative emotions. ”

"Yes, every time I cry, I feel a lot better." He Bei had already wiped away his tears, but his eyes were still slightly red.

Lian Sheng patted Peng Fei on the shoulder and said, "College students just know Doha." ”

Peng Fei smiled bitterly, in fact, he only found out when he went to see a psychiatrist.

At 8:30, all the officers and soldiers of the second company came to the auditorium in regular clothes to participate in Wang Peng's chase-down meeting.

The host of the chase meeting is Wang Zhifei. "Today, it is with great sadness that we are here to mourn the sacrifice of our dear comrade-in-arms, Comrade Wang Peng. On the way back from visiting his home, Comrade Wang Peng was seriously injured when he fell into a cliff due to a bus crash. But the first thing that comes to his mind in this situation is not himself, but others. Before he could bandage himself to stop the bleeding, he climbed out of the car where the fire was about to break out with a young child in his arms. Eventually, excessive bleeding led to sacrifice. Young, 20 years old...... A minute of silence was observed by all. ”

The beautiful life of the 20-year-old passed away like this. In the midst of the mourning, Peng Fei was thinking that if he didn't care about the young child, if he could bandage himself to stop the bleeding, if the rescuers could come in time, maybe he wouldn't die. But the toddler would have died, choked on the smoke, and he had only been a few months. Is it worth exchanging one fresh life for another? Peng Fei doesn't know how to calculate this question, so he doesn't know if it's worth it or not. But if it were him, he would do the same.

"Now I invite Comrade Regiment Commander to give a eulogy."

The head of the regiment stepped forward and said a few simple words.

"Farewell to Comrade Wang Peng's body."

When the ceremony was over, the vehicle carried Wang Peng's body out of the barracks for cremation. All classes have also been brought back, ready to train as usual for a while. Suddenly, the company commander's little clerk ran into the dormitory of the first class and called the summer squad leader away.

After a long time, the summer squad leader finally returned. As soon as he entered the door, he scolded: "Fuck, what kind of person, I've never seen anything like this!" ”

"Squad leader, what's wrong?" Peng Fei and the others all came over curiously.

Squad leader Xia sat down on the bed, and then threw his hat to the side. "I didn't see that the car carrying Wang Peng's body on the front foot had just gone out, and a car came on the back foot. A man came down from inside, saying he was going to come in and find someone. The sentry asked him who he was looking for, but he couldn't tell him. It was only said that the bus overturned, and one of our soldiers here saved his son. The sentry remembered Wang Peng's matter, so he called the company commander. The company commander thought that it was not easy for people to come all the way, so he not only went out personally to bring people to the reception room, but also asked the clerk to call me too.

Unexpectedly, the Wang Balamb didn't even say a word of thanks as soon as he entered the door, and complained that Wang Peng had the wrong way to save people, and scratched his son's face, saying that he would leave a scar in the future. When the company commander told him that Wang Peng had died, the guy began to complain about his recently deceased daughter-in-law. I really don't know how many generations his son is, and he is spoiled like this. In his eyes, no one's life is as important as his son's. ”
