Chang Ke's face was full of worry, Shu Han looked at him and said: "Chang Ke, you guard it here, don't worry, we will come back, my villa has just been bought, and I haven't had time to live in it, and the days of this master have not passed for a few days, I will not be willing to die in the wild, and I don't even have a person to collect the body." ”

Shu Han knew that his words would not reassure Chang Ke much, but he couldn't say anything that he was sure to say at this moment, after all, he had tasted the danger in the wild not long ago, and he was also very confused about the future in his heart, so he couldn't be sure if he would be able to come back alive.

Dati on the side said: "Don't worry, Changke, we'll go back as soon as we go." After speaking, he took the lead in getting on the horse, Shu Han also rode his own horse, Chang Ke stood on the ground, looked at the two, and finally had to say: "I'll wait for you to come back, you two, you must both come back intact." ”

Dati chuckled, patted his horse and left, Shuhan immediately followed, the two of them quickly disappeared around the camp, and the others did not notice at all, and when they were far away, Dati immediately lit his own torches and Shuhan's torches, which were not for lighting.

The night in the Black Iron City is not particularly dark, the moon in the sky looks much larger than in modern times, plus there is no industrial pollution, the stars shine greatly under the night, and both of them are good at eating and drinking, there is no so-called night blindness, so they do not particularly rely on the brilliance of the torch in the dark night.

Nocturnal creatures have always had a very strong fear of darkness, and this fear is deeply rooted in their genes, which may be the same as they often die in fires, whether it is a fire that breaks out in nature, a volcanic crisis, or an earthquake, it is accompanied by such a thing, so when they see fire, their ancestors' genes will subconsciously tell them that it is dangerous, and their instinct will let them leave.

Although today's animals are much more powerful than in modern times, the instinctive fear still makes them afraid to approach Shuhan and Dati's team, and the moment they see the fire, they leave far away, and when the fire is lit, Dati takes the map from Shuhan's hand.

Although the map was drawn by Shu Han, but when it comes to walking on the map, it is naturally that Dati is more experienced, he took the map and looked at it, and expressed his admiration for the fineness of the map, he had seen a lot of maps when he was in the army, but such a map in Shu Han's hand, let alone that he had not seen it, I am afraid that there is no map in the army.

This made Dati more curious about the secret in Shu Han's heart, but everyone had been together for so long, and they already had a tacit understanding with each other, since Shu Han didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask too much, he only knew that it was Shu Han who brought him back to Black Iron City from the place where there was no future in the mining area, so that he could start his life again, in this case, then Shu Han is the monarch he has been loyal to all his life, as for other issues, that's not what he should think about.

"I'm afraid this road will not work, there is a swampy belt with a lot of crocodiles, and their bite force is strong enough to swallow our horses alive." Dati pointed to the route planned by Shu Han on the map and said, this map Shu Han has never shown Dati, the reason why this is so is because Shu Han does not dare to guarantee that Dati is a person he can trust, and now that he is in the wild, this is the first time he shows him, but he didn't expect that the first time he saw it, he denied the route plan he formulated.

The experience of survival in the wild, Shu Han is not at all, although after coming to this world, Shu Han is very bad in modern times to make up for some skills of survival in the wild, De Ye, Bei Ye's video is not less, but if you want to talk about real skills, it is not a little bit, when he was formulating the route, it was completely in accordance with the traffic line of the previous life.

Although more than two hundred years have passed since these traffic lines, I am afraid that they have long ceased to exist, but the traces of the original construction of these roads are still there, as long as you follow these traces, you will never get lost, and the roads are always much smoother, so Shu Han will choose such a road, but he did not expect that a section of this road will become a swamp after all.

At this time, hearing what Dati said, he couldn't help but feel nervous, so he said, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Yes, this road is relatively safe, there are many ruins and buildings around, even if we encounter danger, it can also be used for us to hide and hide, and at the same time, most of the time it is wilderness, and most of the plants that grow are shrubs and weeds, which will make our vision relatively wide, and if we encounter something, we can also react faster."

Dati is worthy of being a veteran who looked at the map a few times, and then redrew a road for Shu Han, at this moment, Shu Han is undoubtedly absolutely trusting Dati, since the two have determined the route, they will no longer talk nonsense, with Dati as the vanguard, Shu Han followed closely behind, two people and two horses, and they were speeding towards the destination in the night.

According to the road originally planned by Shu Han, it takes about twenty minutes to reach Shu Han's former home, but now because of the need to spare the swamp and other dangerous places, those places that used to be parks and hospitals in Shu Han's eyes have now become the dwellings of fierce beasts, and these places need to be bypassed, so the route planned by Dati is naturally a hundred turns, and the two of them walked from the old city to the Egret area for about forty minutes before finally entering the district where Shu Han's hometown is located.

Looking at the iconic hero monument in the Egret District, Shu Han's heart undoubtedly has very complicated feelings, during the Anti-Japanese War, in order to liberate this area, the People's Liberation Army paid a huge price to eliminate the enemy here, so that the people of the Egret District ushered in the liberation, got a new life, after the establishment of the new country, under the organization of the local people and the government, built this monument, since then, this monument has also become a landmark building in the Egret District.

When Xia Shuhan was a child, he often went to this monument under the leadership of his parents, and after the reopening, it was planned as a huge square, surrounded by many snack streets and entertainment malls, and at the back of the monument is a huge heroes memorial museum, which treasures the traces of the war of the year, Shu Han has been there.

When I grow up, on April 4 of every year, the Qingming Festival, I will also come here under the organization of the school, sweep the tombs of the heroes, and put my own small flowers on the white jade railing of the monument, and the new members will take an oath under the leadership of the teacher, and everyone will sing the national anthem together, which is the common memory of the children in Hai'an City.

After coming to high school, it has become a place for Shu Han and others to play, a large number of entertainment facilities have been built here, around the Monument to the People's Heroes, there are people playing everywhere, less solemn, more peaceful and prosperous, the monument is no longer so enthusiastic by people, but every time people pass by it, they can't help but look at it a few more times, as if this monument is here, people can continue to eat and drink with peace of mind, play and make trouble.

And now, the vicissitudes of three hundred years have passed quietly, the square around the Monument to the People's Heroes has been unrecognizable, there is not a single thing left, the surrounding commercial buildings are also broken walls, only the faint ruins are showing the prosperity of this place, only the Monument to the People's Heroes, still erected there, although the words on it have been smoothed by the wind and sand of history, but this monument of about 50 meters high, but still has not collapsed, as if growing on this land.

Seeing him, Shu Han seemed to have returned to the previous era in a trance, there was a lot of traffic here, people came and went, young men and women held Starbucks in their hands, milk tea stopped and stopped, and the old people took their grandsons to take a walk in the square, wading on the road, Shu Han couldn't help but stop, Dati in front didn't hear Shu Han's voice, couldn't help but pull the reins, turned to look at Shu Han, saw that he was fine, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought that Shu Han had an accident.

Commanding the horses to Shu Han's side, and looking at the monument that Shu Han was looking at, Dati said, "Director, it's time for us to hurry, there is still some way to go from here to where you are going." “

"Dati, do you know what this is?" Shu Han didn't listen to Dati's opinion, but asked, Dati was stunned, looked at the huge columnar building in front of him, and said with some uncertainty: "This is the beam of a house, but it doesn't look like it, or is it some kind of art?" I don't know, people in the pastoral era always like to do things that have nothing to do with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but so many precious materials are not used to build bridges and roads, but to build such meaningless things. “

"It's not like he doesn't mean anything." Shu Han looked at the monument in front of him, and made a move that he knew was stupid, but still did it, he rode a horse directly in the direction of the monument, and when he reached the foot of the monument, he stretched out his hand to support the horse, jumped slightly, and fell to the ground, and Dati on the side said in a little panic: "My lord, it's not safe here." “

"I know, Dati, take care of my horse." Shu Han handed the reins in his hand to Dati, took out his revolver from the horse's belly and put it on his waist, and then walked to the monument. Isn't he just a piece of reinforced concrete? There's something to see.

Shu Han has completely changed his face at this time, he walked to the monument, looking at the tall monument in front of him, the emotions in his heart are not complicated, he once carried Shu Han, a person from Bailu District, Hai'an City, many memories, and now he is alone here, the huge words on it have disappeared, the reliefs have all been blurred, and many people's faces have disappeared, but under the blurred body, they still maintain the posture of charging.

This may also be the reason why Dati thinks that he is just a work of art, thinking back to the time, New China was not rich, but the craftsmen were willing to spend a lot of time erecting monuments to those heroes to commemorate them, and the carvings on them were lifelike, even after three hundred years, Shu Han was still moved.

He squatted down and sat on the ground, he knew that his current actions were very stupid, but as a Chinese, a Chinese who lived in three hundred years later, human civilization had entered the era of the end of France, he still chose the "stupid" move.

Shu Han swept away the soil around the monument with his hands, brushing away the dead leaves on it, he was cleaning and sweeping the tomb for this monument like those students hundreds of years ago, this is the tradition of the Chinese, and this tomb, no one has come to sweep it for a long time, perhaps Shu Han is the first person in these three hundred years.

The soil on it was too thick, layer after layer, Shu Han couldn't clean it up no matter how hard he tried, and in the end it took ten minutes, and it was only a small piece of it, and suddenly, he saw that at the bottom of the monument, at that step, there was a faint line of words, perhaps the existence of the soil protected the base of the monument, so that they were not blown away by the wind and sand.

Shu Han dusted off the remaining soil, and saw that there was indeed a line of words engraved on it, which had lost all color, but under the light of the moon, Shu Han could still see this line clearly.

"The people's heroes are immortal."

"Immortal." Shu Han muttered softly, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the huge monument in front of him, tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't help but cross, at this moment, the martyrs and heroes of more than three hundred years ago seemed to be telling themselves, don't cry, don't grieve, don't imitate, there is still a road ahead, you can go!

Shu Han took a step back, as a member of the regiment, solemnly saluted the monument in front of him that had been eroded by the wind and sand, and muttered: "I will not give up, even if my body is broken and my life is destroyed, I will do my best, the people's heroes will be immortal, and the future generations will never let you down." “

Shu Han, who was standing in place, took one last look at the monument in front of him, and then turned to leave, at this time, he seemed to be inspired by some kind of inspiration, when passing by Dati, Dati could clearly feel that Shu Han's body seemed to have a different taste, that kind of taste, he couldn't describe it, but people couldn't help but want to follow.

"Dati, let's continue our journey." Shu Han said with a smile, Dati on the side hurriedly followed, before riding away, he looked at the artwork in the distance, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "This artwork may not be as useless as he imagined." ”

Dati and Shu Han left, and in the silent night, the monument was still erected in the wind as usual, his posture was upright, like a green pine, and the relief on it was broken, but the outstretched heroic hand was still pointing out the way forward for those who came after him.

When human civilization dies
