Chapter 1575: Sacrifice

In the three days since the end of the meeting, a lot has happened in China.

In the face of numerous doubts, the state made a clear response, informing the whole country and the world of the disaster that occurred in Renmin Yang Province.

As soon as this incident was reported, public opinion was immediately detonated, and the whole country was in an uproar.

The movement of this incident is very big, all the media are reporting on this matter, and the hot searches on various platforms are also related to the words ghosts and babies in Yang Province, and many celebrities and Internet celebrities who have dominated the hot search headlines for a long time have all disappeared for a while, and the whole people are discussing this matter.

After the deliberate guidance of the media, the public opinion in the past three days has been fully fermented, from the initial questioning and condemnation, and then to the later understanding and encouragement, in general, the people have begun to shift their attention to the resentful spirits, rather than brainless complaints.

When public opinion was boiling, the high-level people threw out a piece of news.

In order to express the deep condolences of the people of the whole country for the sacrifice of their compatriots, at 11 a.m. on the morning of 27 July, the whole people observed a three-minute silence, when cars, trains, ships, and sirens sounded to commemorate and cherish the memory of the deceased compatriots.

The reason for choosing this date is that the 27th is the first seven days of the end of the disaster.

On the 27th, at nine o'clock in the morning, the Imperial Bureau Cemetery.

This is the second time I have come to the Imperial Cemetery, the last time I came, it was after the defense of the copper city, I thought I would not come again in the future, but I didn't expect that I would come again in just a few months.

Compared with the last time, this burial ceremony is grander and heavier.

The cemetery can't put down the hundreds of thousands of people sleeping in Yang Province, and the people who put it in the cemetery are all dead cultivators, and the number of dead cultivators this time is five hundred and twenty-four, and the cemetery is full of people paying respects.

Today, the sky in the imperial city is cloudy, and walking in the cemetery, there is an indescribable sense of depression and heaviness.

In my ears, I kept crying bitterly.

Many relatives and friends of the victims, holding flowers, wept and wailed in front of the new tombstones, and even beat the ground, and some family members fainted on the spot, and the whole cemetery was filled with a sad atmosphere, and no one could laugh.

At this moment, I am standing in front of Chen Shimeng's tombstone, silent for a long time, in the photos on the tombstone, Chen Shimeng is still smiling cheerfully as usual, the former voice and smile seem to be still in front of me, but now it has been separated by yin and yang.

There were a group of high school classmates standing next to them, Xiao Mingyan and Han Mengxuan were comforting Chen Shimeng's family who were crying bitterly, Jiang Chen and Zhang Xinyu stood in front of the grave wordlessly, just like me, and there are still many people like us in the cemetery, because today the emperor allowed all the families and friends of the martyrs to enter the imperial bureau to worship.

After a while, Anyang came, still holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and after coming over, Anyang bowed in front of the tombstone and offered flowers, and after a while, his voice was a little heavy: "Rest in peace, your family... I will definitely take good care of it. ”

I believe Anyang does what it says.

After worshipping Chen Shimeng, I went to Zhao Yu's tombstone again, although she is only a freshman cultivator, but she is also qualified to be buried here, at this time, Zhang Hao, Jia Jing, Liang Yu and other junior high school classmates, all gathered here, with a sad expression, several girls even cried bitterly.

It is said that the feelings between classmates will gradually fade with graduation, and finally become familiar strangers to each other, but this rule is invalid for my classmates, and the last semester of junior high school has made the relationship between our classmates who have survived the catastrophe become more intimate, after all, we have experienced life and death together, so our feelings are very deep.

As soon as Zhao Yu died, everyone had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died, if they could hide from the ghost master, could they hide from the resentful spirit?

Just as I was presenting flowers to Zhao Yu, a pretty girl walked over, smiled at me a little shyly, and said, "Hello, Mr. Ye Yan, take the liberty to disturb." ”

"You are?"

Hearing this, I immediately frowned, I am a little familiar with this person, but I forgot who she is, after recalling carefully, through the double identification of voice and appearance, I suddenly realized who she was, and said a little uncertainly: "Are you the female cultivator who let Zhou Da take away?" I remember it seems to be called Zhao Yuenian. ”

"It's meβ€”" The woman nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

Now I completely remembered, at that time, because I deceived Zhou Da, Zhou Da frantically arrested people in the following days, and retaliated against me by torturing other victims, this girl named Zhao Yuenian was one of the people who let Zhou Da arrest at that time, I remember that she was still under Zhou Da's coercion, and said to me what curses such as "you must not die well".

But at that time, she looked like she was wearing a cloak, and her expression was also very hideous, I didn't recognize it for a while, and it seemed that she survived.

"I'm here to apologize to you, I'm sorry, I said a lot of hurtful things out of fear at that time, please forgive me!" While speaking, Zhao Yuenian bowed deeply and didn't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, I had no sorrow or joy in my heart, and after a while, I opened my mouth without being salty and said, "Okay, I know, you don't have to feel ashamed, I don't care." ”

"I..." Zhao Yuenian was about to say something, so I waved my hand and said, "Let's go, I really don't care." ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Ye Yan, thank you for saving me." Zhao Yuenian said gratefully.

"You're welcome." I nodded, then turned around.

Seeing that I was facing away from her, Zhao Yuenian also knew that I was not in the mood to continue talking to her, and after saying thank you and sorry again, she turned around and left here, and at this time I turned around and looked at Zhao Yuenian's back with an expressionless face.

What can I say?

Forgive her? Hate her?

I didn't feel the need, because I understood that she was true when she cursed me, and now she apologizes is true, and when people face the fear of death, they can do anything, and I have seen it thoroughly in junior high school.

I've seen a lot...

In addition to paying respects to some of the victims of the ghost baby incident in the cemetery, I have not forgotten the victims who died in the defense of the copper city, in fact, everyone in this cemetery deserves our remembrance and memorial, because they are all martyrs who died for the country and the people.

As time passed, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the crowd of the cemetery began to consciously flock to the square, where the national memorial was held in the square outside the cemetery, and in the center of the square was erected a monument to the martyrs, on which were written inscriptions and engraved with a large number of names.

Directly in front of the monument in the square, a large number of senior leaders have gathered here, and people other than the leaders are lined up in an orderly manner in the rear according to the requirements of the staff.

At 10:30, Wang Hao and Li Xun took the lead in speaking, and then Chen Yi took the stage to deliver a touching speech, followed by representatives from all walks of life, and the process lasted about 30 minutes.

This process, broadcast live around the world, and various media simultaneously broadcast everything that happened in the square at the moment, and countless compatriots could clearly see this scene.

At eleven o'clock, Li Xun announced: "We express our deep condolences to the martyrs and compatriots who died in the ghost baby incident in Yang Province, and please pay a silent tribute. ”

The words fell, and the silence officially began,

The whole square was silent, the needles falling in the black crowd could be heard, everyone lowered their heads and bowed slightly, and the air defense sirens were also heard in the sky, and the aftermath resounded, resounding throughout the imperial bureau, the provincial capital, and the whole country!

At this moment, countless people in China stopped what they were doing, stopped and stood still, and mourned in silence for the deceased. β€˜

Three minutes later, the silence ended, and countless people burst into tears.
