Chapter Seventy-Three: The Angel of Dreams

Zhan Xia Ge stood at the door of the auditorium, and he smiled at the couple who were being hugged by everyone and were holding a wedding. It was the first time he saw Zhao Jianping wearing a suit and tie, and it was also the first time he saw Zhao Jianping open his mouth wide, revealing such a smirk that was definitely close to an idiot. It was so idiotic that Zhan Xia Ge couldn't help but cover his forehead and let out a soft sigh in his heart.

Zhao Jianping, who was dressed up by everyone in good spirits and had a groom flower pinned to his collar, was obviously immersed in a sea of happiness, otherwise why did he hold his newlywed Ling Han's hand tightly from the beginning of the wedding until now, and would rather face everyone's kind teasing than let go?

At the wedding, it has become inevitable to have all kinds of strange programs to embarrass the two newlyweds. Put a piece of fruit candy in the plate, and then use a lighter to heat it under the plate, when the fruit candy melts in the heat and the whole piece of sugar sticks firmly to the plate, such a prop is sent to Zhao Jianping and Ling Han.

The bride and groom can only work together to whirl the candy cube with their tongues in full view of everyone until they "lick" the fruit candy off the plate with "happiness", or to put it bluntly, their saliva. As the couple began to work on a piece of fruit candy stuck to the plate, happy laughter and applause filled the auditorium.

Ling Han once had an inglorious life for her sister, but it was precisely because of this that she had an extraordinary soul for an ordinary woman. Got the nourishment of love, enjoyed a stable and rich life, now anyone can see at a glance, Ling Han is in love, Ling Han is married, Ling Han is now a little woman full of happiness and satisfaction, she knows how to cherish this happy life better than anyone else, cherish the husband who can accompany her for a lifetime and protect her.

Ling Han can be a good wife.

Zhao Jianping had the most unbearable past, had a marriage that can never be described as happy, when he was hit hard, his family was ruined, and he thought that he would never have his feelings again and have a home of his own, not only did he have a master and brother like Zhan Xia Ge to help him encourage him, but he also found his new life partner under the fate that had already been destined in the underworld.

This joy of regaining it, and the simplicity that Zhao Jianping was born with, make him sure to be a good husband. What's more, in the face of Ling Han, a beauty who is ten years younger than him and whose external conditions can reach the first-class level, Zhao Jianping is only afraid that in this life, he is destined to carefully coax his wife and be a "strict wife" willingly.

Ling Yanshan also looked at the scene in front of her with a touched face, looking at her relatives who are also sisters and mothers, after going through the darkest period of her life, she finally found her own happiness and future, how could she not be happy? !

"Warrior Song?!"

A voice of surprise suddenly rose from a corner of the auditorium, and then Zhan Xia Ge saw a figure crash into him, and Zhan Xia Ge only had time to open his arms widely, and he slammed into his arms. Both of them slapped each other's shoulders hard, and for a moment a thousand words were drawn into the same sentence: "Good brother!" ”

"Whoa......

In the blink of an eye, the warrior song was surrounded by dozens of arms that were equally powerful, equally enthusiastic, and equally happy. What Li Chunai, what Xie Yuran, there are familiar faces everywhere, friendly smiles everywhere, facing the scene in front of him, Zhan Xia Ge's heart was instantly filled with happiness and emotion.

Yan Li raised his hand in the small space and punched Zhan Xia Ge fiercely, "You kid likes to play this kind of elusive thing, when did you come back, and you didn't even notify us in advance?" ”

"As soon as I came back, as soon as I stepped into the school gate, I heard that Zhao Jianping was holding a wedding in the school auditorium, and I didn't even put down my backpack, so I ran over directly." Zhan Xia Ge pointed to the bag that could prove his innocence, and laughed loudly: "You don't look at who I am, I am the most funny Zhan Xia Song!" A group of our brothers haven't seen each other for two years, and I'm going to show up to you honestly without a trace of suspense, how old-fashioned and boring is that?! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, just come back in time!" Yan Yan struggled to push away the enthusiastic arms around him, and pushed the warrior song directly to the rostrum of the auditorium. On the rostrum, there were two chairs representing the man's parents, and Principal Li Xiangshang stretched out his hand to pat the vacant seat beside him, and said with a smile: "What are you doing standing there stupidly, how do you say that you are also Zhao Jianping's master, of course you are qualified to sit here." Don't say that in this situation, I'm sitting here alone, not to mention how awkward it is. ”

When Zhan Xia Ge's gaze fell on the chair beside Li Xiangshang, his eyes widened suddenly, he rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly: "Hey, I'm not still alive and healthy, and I can live a long life!" You're not going to put a picture of me on a chair and curse me to die early, are you? The most excessive thing is that I am so handsome and extraordinary, which photo do you pick is not good, why do you have to find a photo with the most serious expression, the most rigid, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a special photo in the mourning hall? ”

"This is not your apprentice, I have to leave a place for you, otherwise there are so many instructors of the Fifth Special Force, and there are more people who are willing to be Zhao Jianping's relatives, why do you have to put a photo of you deadly?"

Li Xiangshang casually put it upright on the chair, no matter how he looked at it, he threw it aside like a special photo frame for the mourning hall, and said with a smile: "What are you doing standing stupidly, do you still want the bride and groom to bow three times and bow nine times to please take a seat?" Even I, the principal, relative, and immediate superior, did not receive such an honor! ”

Zhan Xia Ge sat next to Principal Li Xiangshang, his eyes looked around, but Zhan Xia Ge finally didn't find the figure he hoped to see, he finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Principal...... What about Jie'er? ”

"We'll talk to me in a moment."

Zhan Xia Song replied in a low voice, I don't know why, in this happy atmosphere, a feeling of uneasiness slowly surged up in the depths of his heart. Later, Zhan Xia Ge didn't know how the wedding ended, and how he followed Li Xiangshang into Li Xiangshang's principal's office.

When Li Xiangshang took out a file bag from the safe and put all the things in it on the desk, Zhan Xia Ge's body couldn't help but tremble fiercely, because what Li Xiangshang took out was the ID card that Ya Jieer Zhan Xia Ge temporarily handled for identity preservation when she got married, and a red marriage certificate.

"Yajie's gone, the things she left here, I think I should pass them on to you."

Zhan Xia Ge picked up the marriage certificate on the table, and gently opened the title page full of festive red on the marriage certificate, when Zhan Xia Ge's eyes fell on Ya Jie'er and he took it three times before finally finalizing the wedding photo. Although the marriage certificate is only a two-inch color photo, this photo still faithfully records Yajieer's happiness, Yajieer's happiness, and Yajieer's gentleness at that time, and the big boy who snuggled up to her tightly and also showed a happy smile on his face was not the warrior singer himself two years ago?!

I don't know when, Zhan Xia Ge's hand holding this marriage certificate has begun to tremble uncontrollably, and he asked in a strange nasal voice, "Gone?!" ”

Li Xiangshang looked at the man standing in front of him, his body was still like a sharp bayonet, and he still felt as steady as Mount Tai when he stood there, but Li Xiangshang could clearly feel that Zhan Xia Ge's heart was in turmoil, and his heart was panicked. A look of extreme complexity flashed in Li Xiangshang's eyes, he really wanted to point at Zhan Xia Ge's nose and scold loudly, but now how could he be harsh on a man who had already let his life burn for the woman he loved the most, and was also scarred?!

"Yes, she is gone, eighteen months ago she has already left the fifth special unit, she is demobilized, she is no longer a soldier! It was I who signed it with my own hand and approved Yajie'er's discharge, and I also personally sent Yajie'er to leave the Fifth Special Army! When she left the Fifth Special Unit, she didn't take this ID card and this marriage certificate with her, in fact, I didn't dare to put these two things in front of her at all. ”

Zhan Xia Ge's eyes widened, and he asked astringently, "Why?!" ”

"She's amnesiac! After returning to China, Yajieer underwent surgery for 48 hours before finally reopening her eyes, and from that time on, she forgot about you and everything that had happened to you. She also forgot all the combat skills and knowledge she learned in the Fifth Special Unit! But as soon as she sees anything related to you, or even hears your name, she goes into a state of hysteria, and according to the instrumental data, she will really go crazy if we try to reawaken her memory like this. ”

Li let out a long sigh of sullen breath, "I have consulted many authorities in psychology and human physiology, and in three months, I have also sent Yajieer to many authoritative medical institutions and academic institutions to receive their treatment. Those experts and researchers have told me that Yajie'er is instinctively resisting you, and she has subconsciously erased everything that happened to you and her, including what she learned in the Fifth Special Force, from her memory! ”

"Really, trust me." Li Xiangshang stared into Zhan Xia Ge's eyes and said in a low voice: "You should understand that although Yajie'er is usually very gentle and even a little weak, when she makes up her mind to do something, no one can reverse her decision. If you appear in front of her desperately and try to save the relationship between you, she will really collapse completely because she can't resist the intense stimulation of facing you! I think in her subconscious, I'd rather be really crazy than face you soberly and clearly, right?! ”

"Bang!"

Zhan Xia Ge only felt that his legs were weak, he, a battle hero who dominated the world, a hero with a strong iron backbone, at this time, could not bear his weight and fell heavily on the floor of Principal Li Xiangshang's office.

Zhan Xia Ge didn't get up, he buried his face between his knees. Principal Li Xiangshang didn't speak, he just quietly looked at the man in front of him who was sitting on the ground and crying silently.

Silent crying is the saddest and most painful, because such a crying person no longer has the power to make a sound!

I don't know how long it took, Zhan Xia Ge suddenly raised his face covered with tears, he looked at Li Xiangshang with desperate eyes like a person who was about to drown, his lips twitched for a long time, and then he suddenly cried out loud: "Why? Why? Why? Why did things turn out like this?! Even after the war ended, I still stayed in Florasia, I went around working hard in areas that I was not good at, I spent a whole year, I did all this, just to let Jie'er know that I am not a killing machine without any feelings, I can kill people on the battlefield, and I can also help people build a happy home on the ruins after the war! ”

Listening to the song of the warrior and crying like a wounded beast, even people like Li Xiangshang couldn't help but tremble fiercely in their hearts.

"I just want Jie'er to know that I care about her and like her like this; I just wanted to achieve a satisfactory result with my own hands, so I appeared in front of her and begged her, hoping to get her forgiveness!! ”

Zhan Xia Ge slammed his fist on the hard floor under his feet, and blood splattered on the floor, and he screamed, "Jie'er, you are so ruthless! Jie'er, you are amazing! You didn't even give me a chance to meet me, listen to my explanations, listen to my pleadings! You know I'm going to look for you, you know I'm going to do everything I can to beg you to come back to me, but you're threatening me with yourself, you ......"

Speaking of which, the warrior song couldn't cry anymore.

Li Xiangshang looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and looked at him with one hand, the most outstanding soldier of China's Fifth Special Force, he was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Actually, this is not a relief for Yajieer. I have long known that deep down, she does not like the profession of a soldier, and her surname is even more unsuitable for becoming a soldier of the fifth special unit, this time, she finally took it off! Now she has found a path that suits her best, she is doing what she thinks is the most meaningful, I, the eldest brother, am really happy and sad in the face of such a Jie'er! ”

……

This is a small mountain village located in the middle of nowhere. It's too remote here, and there are no special resources, and the people who live on this land, their ancestors and ancestors are living a life of making and resting. More than 50 years have passed since liberation, and only one high school student has been produced in this land that is too poor.

In this mountain, there are no roads, only a dirt road that slowly and naturally forms. Tractors drive over it, always kicking up large clouds of dust, tractors are more like long legs, jumping on and limping, but this dirt road must still allow the tractor to run, finally let these people living in the mountains, and the outside world have a modern means of transportation. However, once it rains continuously, the whole dirt road will become a muddy road, and in some steep places, even people often slip on their feet, and motor vehicles do not dare to drive on it.

In this mountain, even the wires were also pulled, but because the line is too long, the maintenance work is not in place, not to mention the frequent power outages, once the farming needs to call a lot of electricity to ensure the season of crop irrigation, those small mountain villages located in the mountains, are the whole week of power outages, even if it is called, it is after 12 o'clock in the evening, the incandescent bulbs hanging on the roof will be reluctantly lit up.

Therefore, the real lighting tool for the residents living in this mountain is still the crude kerosene lamp. No matter how much technology is outside, it seems to have nothing to do with them, they still follow the traces of their ancestors for generations, and live their isolated life.

When the Hummer jeep drove up a hillside and could already see a roof ridge hidden among the mountains and trees, Li Xiangshang stopped the car, stretched out his hand and pointed to the only courtyard made of bricks and tiles in the small mountain village, and said: "Yajie'er lives there, you can find a suitable place to hide, if possible, I will lead her to the courtyard, you can see her through the telescope." ”

Li Xiangshang hesitated slightly, but still threw a set of high-power signal receiving devices to Zhan Xia Ge, and then installed a button-type monitor on his body.

Zhan Xia Ge stood on the hillside, he looked into the distance, the small village under the hillside, completely surrounded by mountains, even if they drove a military Humvee jeep, it still took them four hours to get here. Zhan Xia Ge really doesn't want to imagine what kind of life Yajie'er lives in this mountain in the fifth special unit, who has been carefully cared for by everyone.

Zhan Xia Ge lay on the grass on the hillside, he bit a straw pipe in his mouth, and quietly listened to the roar of the military Humvee jeep driven by Li Xiangshang when it drove on the mountain road through the military high-power wireless listening device.

In the wireless monitoring device, there was a long sound of scalpers, Principal Li Xiangshang had obviously been to this place more than once, he put the Hummer jeep at the entrance of the village, carrying a thick stack of homework books and a few bundles of pencils in his hand, and slowly walked into this remote mountain village, he greeted everyone who passed by, and walked to this small mountain village, the only courtyard tile house made of blue bricks in this small mountain village.

"The crooked moon is a small boat, and the little boat is pointed at both ends. I sat in a small boat, and all I could see was the blue sky of the moon......"

When a familiar voice came into the ears of the warrior song, the warrior song suddenly became stupid. Although they haven't seen each other for two whole years, the owner of this voice, I don't know how many times, in the dark night, broke into the sleep of the warrior song, reminding the warrior song again and again, so that in his life, it is impossible for him to forget this voice and forget the owner of this voice.

There was a burst of untidy children's voices in the headphones, and they were all following Yajie'er, reading the nursery rhyme that the warrior song had also learned from Chinese class when she was a child.

Li Xiangshang stood at the door of the classroom with a smile, looking at Yajie'er, who happened to be facing away from him, a sharp-eyed student raised his hand and reported, "Teacher, Uncle Li is here!" ”

Li Xiangshang walked into the classroom, handed the homework book and pencil in his hand to Yajie'er, and asked in a low voice, "Did you disturb your class?" ”

Yajie'er glanced at her watch, "It's okay, the time is about the same." ”

"When you go home, remember to copy the poem you learned today and the words you learned three times. By the way, Li Yaya, I see your homework book is full, right? ”

Yajieer took out a new homework book from the stack of homework books that Li Xiangshang had just sent, and handed it to the little girl named Li Yaya together with a pencil, she rubbed the little girl's head affectionately, and smiled: "Your academic performance has improved very quickly recently, but you can't be proud!" ”

The little girl held a new homework book and pencil in her hand, and her little face flushed with excitement because of the praise, and she nodded vigorously.

When Yajie'er announced the end of class, and a group of children ran out of the classroom screaming happily, Li Xiangshang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I think you seem to have a few more students." ”

"Well, they are all girls, and some parents here feel that girls are from other people's families sooner or later, and they just want them to do more farm work, and they don't want them to waste time to come to my class.

"Why bother?"

Li Xiangshang sighed lightly: "You used the money you got from the army to build this small school, not to mention the tuition fees for the students, and you also paid for them to buy books and stationery for them." Children can get education for free, and this pie-in-the-sky thing falls on them, and you actually want to run to the home in person, but it becomes as if you are begging them. ”

Ya Jie'er scooped out a few spoonfuls of water from the water tank and poured them into the pot, and threw a few handfuls of firewood and grass into the stove, and in the light of the fire, the smoke rose on the roof of her elementary school, and Li Xiangshang immediately walked over and helped her pull the bellows.

"They're all girls," said Yajieer, "I can't let the idea of patriarchy exist in my school, in fact I've always believed that girls' education is more important than boys." ”

"Oh?"

"Boys don't go to school, they don't get educated, it's just a generation delay, but those girls are going to be mothers in the future. The mother is the child's first teacher, and if these girls are not educated now, then two whole generations will be delayed. My power alone is limited, and it is impossible to change the people living in this mountain in a short period of time, so I hope that through proper education, these girls can broaden their horizons, be able to influence their next generation, and let their children get more opportunities. ”

The water in the pot was boiling, Yajieer lifted the lid of the pot made of wooden boards, poured a bowl of grain mixed with white flour and cornmeal into the pot, she threw a few vegetable leaves into the pot, and a burst of water steamed, and Yajieer's face was a little blurred in the moisture.

Looking at the food in the pot that kept tumbling with the boiling water, Li Xiangshang turned his head, he couldn't bear to look at Yajie'er's focused face, which was already slightly stained with a trace of smoke shavings. In the Fifth Special Force, even when they were undergoing field survival training, weren't all the compressed biscuits in the backpacks of these male cadets concentrated in Yajie'er's hands in the end? Yajie'er, who has been held in the palm of everyone's hands since she was a child and grew up like a princess, how could she eat such coarse food?!

"You really ...... Do you want to stay here forever? ”

Yajie'er sent a bowl containing vegetable noodle soup to Li Xiangshang, and she held a small spoon and drank the noodle soup in another bowl with a taste. She is now wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, she lives here, she no longer has the moisture of cosmetics, she has been eating rough and lacklustre food for a long time, and her face has inevitably appeared with vegetables, but even so, Yajie'er's movements are still so calm, with a pleasing elegance.

After drinking a bowl of noodle soup, Yajie'er put away her bowl and spoon, she brought a small wooden bench, propped her head and said: "I know that I used to be a soldier, or a soldier who has received long-term training, but I really can't remember anything, even if I continue to stay in the army, I can only be a parasite who has nothing to do." Look at my current life, although this place is a little poorer, although this place is a little backward, but here I live my own value. Helping these children, broadening their horizons, giving them and the next generation, more opportunities to learn about the outside world, may have been insignificant to me, but at least for now, I am satisfied. ”

"I don't know what my original self was like, but ......," said this, Yajie'er's face showed a faint doubt, "Now I feel that I am living a full and happy life now." Perhaps, I should have lived like this. ”

Li Xiangshang sighed softly, he was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Are you sure that outside, there is nothing that can make you worry or give up?" ”

"Of course there is!" Yajie'er smiled, "Of course I don't want to give up my brother, but you often come to see me, so that's enough!" ”

(To be continued)
