Chapter 246: A Tombstone Waiting to Be Engraved

The training camp of the Siwei of Jiguan Mountain is built in the valley, the northern slope stretches slowly, between the lush branches and leaves, you can faintly see a low stele forest, a large gray and blue and pure black figures are gathering together, but no noisy human voices can be heard, and the whole hillside is so depressed that only the sound of the wind blows the branches and leaves.

The melodious sound of the flute, the occasional drumbeat, and the extremely long and heavy beat, seem to knead people's hearts. After the prelude, a clear childlike voice rose in the woods, bringing this sluggish breath to the sky.

"Wu Gexi was armored by the rhino armor, and the car was wrong and the soldiers were short-handed......"

"The enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are fighting for the first......"

Qu Yuan's "Death of the Nation" was sung by the harmony of the child, with a rhythm of one beat at a time, and the hundreds of people present suddenly felt a hot and sour breath penetrating their eyes, nose and throat, and wanted to push out their tears like a torrent of embankments.

"Honesty is both brave and martial, and in the end it is strong and cannot be overpowered......"

"The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost is ......"

At the end of the song, the crowd could no longer hold back, tears welling up from the corners of their eyes and sliding down their cheeks.

Whining...... The horn of the calf sounded in a low voice, this was originally a charge horn, used in military funerals, representing everyone's admiration for the fearless courage of the dead, and also symbolizing that the martyrs are gone.

Fluffy...... The roar of the guns means that everyone will continue to fight, let the familiar sound of gunfire awaken the heroic souls of the martyrs, and meet and communicate with those of them who are still alive in the dark.

The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and Li Shi, Fan Jin, Yan Sanniang and Zhang Hanjin carried the coffin together and walked to the tomb that had been dug.

This is a funeral for Bai Honggu, a cemetery where hundreds of people have died in the past three years, and Bai Honggu's name will always be remembered in everyone's hearts like these people.

But now, there are only names on the tombstones.

"Why is it a blank ......"

In the team, Cai Fei looked at the tombstone and asked in his heart, he naturally didn't know that there was also a cemetery under Lantau Island, where the tombstones only had names.

After the funeral, everyone retreated, which was to give someone a separate space.

Li Xi didn't leave, he still had something to say.

"There's a big battle ahead, is there a problem?"

"No, Director-General!"

Li Xi patted Zhang Hanjin, who was standing tall, and then took off his hat, revealing a bald head with a layer of green stubble.

"Sit down......"

He squatted beside Bai Honggu's tombstone and motioned for Zhang Hanjin to be casual.

"For Honggu, for the people lying in the cemetery here, I always feel guilty......"

"Director-General, life and death are fate, how can we do things without sacrifice?"

"Don't call me the head secretary, this is the fourth brother talking to you."

"Okay...... Four...... Fourth brother. ”

It's like going back to three or four years ago, Li Shi is still Li Si, Zhang Hanjin is still Zhang Xiaozai, Li Si took Jia Gouzi Wu Shishi, plus Zhang Xiaozai, a kid from more than a dozen mines, and a second sister who dragged oil bottles, every night on the slopes of Fengtian Village, teaching them astronomy and geography, teaching them the principles of life, and teaching them to find their backbone.

Li Xian's eyes were misty and asked, "Do you have resentment in your heart?" Resentment of me, the master, has given you a lot of things, but you have lost a lot of things, a quiet life, a close brother, and a happy lover. ”

Zhang Hanjin shook his head: "Fourth brother, there will be gains and losses, I understand the truth you said too deeply." How can you resent the fourth brother, it's just ......"

He also looked a little confused, his eyes flashed for a while, and then he said in a low voice: "It's just that all of us who are alive have a thought, if we have this day, in addition to the name, we can also write on the tombstone what we have done." ”

Li Xian sighed, this is his guilt, before the day came, the victims who died for him can only have names on the tombstones.

Zhang Hanjin continued: "The fourth brother handed us the ideal with one hand, and handed us the gun with the other, and the gun was held, which was very real, but this ideal seemed to be ......."

He didn't describe it for a while, looked up at the sky, and then found the right words, "It seems to be the whole sky, fourth brother, that's you, but we always feel too small to fit it alone." ”

Li Xian nodded, it is true that he can't fit it, but if he can fit it, he can do more things, not just pick up guns and fight.

"Yes, there will be that day, I promise, not too long."

Li Xian said in a deep voice, Zhang Hanjin showed a relieved smile, of course he knew this, but from Li Xian's own words, his heart was naturally a little more steady.

Zhang Hanjin continued to guard Bai Honggu's tomb, he wanted to stay a little longer, this girl with a hint of sassy breath made the guards seem to see Yan Sanniang's shadow, not only him, Jia Hao Wu Ya and even his brother Zhang Hanwan have a little bit of that meaning to Bai Honggu, but they don't want this girl to take a fancy to themselves.

"I'm just a stupid boy, neither as good as Jia Hao, nor as talkative and laughing as Wu Ya, what kind of vitality, even my younger brother Zhang Hanwan can coax people better than me, what do you like about me."

Zhang Hanjin said in a low voice.

Zhang ...... Commanding ......"

His thoughts were interrupted by this greeting, it was Cai Fei.

"Don't want to be buried here?"

Cai Fei mustered up the courage to mention this. People with families and clans are reluctant to leave home for burial, and they are buried here, and there are only names on the tombstones, which is difficult for him and those Foshan soldiers to accept. The Chinese people all talk about the conclusion of the coffin, although it is not for the dead but for the living, but the living have to think that they have no conclusion after death, and it is not comfortable to do so.

However, Cai Fei was thinking that this funeral was very appropriate, and it was just the taste of being a soldier.

"This matter is voluntary, and those who don't want to be buried here will still leave their names here, just like the joint monument over there."

Zhang Hanjin explained that Li Shi did not force this matter, and the reason why Bai Honggu wanted to be buried here was because she was originally a concubine in the family, and there was no place for her in the ancestral hall.

"I heard...... Honggu and Zhang ...... conductors"

Cai Fei changed the topic, Zhang Hanjin was slightly stunned, and then suddenly it turned out that he was here for this.

"Honggu told me about you, saying that you are a brother and sister with him, and she is afraid that you will go back and chew her tongue, so she always has to avoid you."

Zhang Hanjin said lightly, Cai Fei was stunned for a while, and his face turned red.

"But she also said, you, senior brother, are very good, she just has a ghost in her heart."

Seeing that Cai Fei was ashamed, Zhang Hanjin comforted him.

Yiren has gone, even if there is any estrangement in the heart, it is no longer difficult to tie it, Cai Fei sighed lowly, and the resentment against Zhang Hanjin in his heart also disappeared, but a wave of pity rose.

"Speaking of where to bury it, can you go home and bury it, and you can understand what you did on the tombstone?"

Zhang Hanjin retracted his thoughts and began to talk seriously with Cai Fei.

This question made Cai Fei stunned, yes, what else can I write when I go home and bury it? Naturally, I can only write false and empty clichΓ©s, and I can't even write a filial son...... "The people buried here, I remember what they did." ”

Zhang Hanjin got up, patted his clothes, and took Cai Fei into the depths of the cemetery.

"The people buried here either died for the ideals of the General Directorate, or died to protect the General Division, and the people who died to protect the General Division are not the only ones in Honggu......"

"Xu Hanchuan, when he was defending Li Zhuang three years ago, he blocked the shotgun of the bandits for the general director."

"Hu Xiang, he and thirteen other people died in the battle of Baihualou to protect the General Division."

"Wang Silian and Tao Fu, they also died for the general director, although there is another cemetery, their names are also left here."

"Now it's the Honggu ......"

Zhang Hanjin looked at Cai Fei.

"Since I became a guard, life and death are entrusted to me, and dying to protect the general secretary is the same as dying on the battlefield, no, even more glorious."

Zhang Hanjin's gaze was extremely clear at the moment, which made Cai Fei feel a little uncomfortable, this didn't seem to be an ordinary person he was familiar with, generally speaking, this kind of indescribable feeling was called ...... Demon.

"Could it be the general director...... Is it really a fairy descending to earth? ”

Cai Fei can only think like this, dying for the court, for fame and fortune, and even why he died of fame and backbone, anyone who understands "sacrifice" so much, his eyes are blazing, but Zhang Hanjin's gaze is so calm, as if he has no desire, this breath seems to be seen in those who join the Heavenly Punishment Society.

"No, the chief secretary is a mortal, he doesn't have any magical powers, and he is not a god who cultivates immortals and attains the Tao, he still has a lot of problems......"

Zhang Hanjin's tone made Cai Fei stunned again, this tone seemed to be telling about an ordinary relative and friend, rather than a great person.

"For example...... He loves face very much, and if he loses face, he will also be annoyed. ”

Thinking about the past, Zhang Hanjin said leisurely with his eyes, and then realized that it was inappropriate to say this in front of Cai Fei, so he coughed and stopped.

"It's just that he is very knowledgeable, he has seen through this world, and he doesn't want to be a master outside the world, he just wants to be stable, but wants us to stand up too."

Zhang Hanjin recounted his understanding.

"It's like in ancient times, when people drank blood, the general secretary was the Suiren clan who got fire, and he wanted to teach us to use fire."

Cai Fei scratched his head.

"Flint? Isn't that a fairy? ”

Zhang Hanjin laughed.

"Will future generations say that......"

Posterity...... Tombstone...... The two words converged together, and Cai Fei was suddenly held by an inexplicable throbbing heart, was he actually doing such a great career when he became this Qingtian guard?

But what kind of descendants will they be? How many deeds can be written on your own tombstone?

At that moment, Cai Fei had an impulse to pull the time over a hundred years and see what he was like in the future.

"I think in the eyes of future generations, Honggu will definitely be a popular heroine."

At this moment, the two turned back to Bai Honggu's tombstone, Zhang Hanjin said with reluctance, and then he and Cai Fei knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists with both hands, and saluted deeply to Bai Honggu's tombstone.

"There will be a big war soon, and if you have any doubts, go to the battlefield to find out."

When they broke up, Zhang Hanjin said this, and Cai Fei nodded heavily.
