Yu Yang, who had been driving all morning, sneezed three times in a row just when Bei Xiaoya was determined not to want him, and the scene looked a little funny.

"Brother Yu Yang, what's wrong with you?" Ding Xiaobei, who had been with him all the way, followed up and asked with concern.

Yu Yang waved his hand, and without saying a word, he continued to walk briskly towards the military hospital, and Ding Xiaobei trotted along with the change of clothes he had packed.

The two walked all the way to the hospital's rehabilitation center, and Yu Yang saw people basking in the sun on the lawn at a glance. Sitting in a wheelchair, the two empty trouser legs on the lower body are particularly eye-catching and dazzling. Yu Yang's heart cramped together again, and the guilt in his heart came instantly.

The man saw them too, but did not speak, and his eyes were empty and no longer had the spirit of the past.

Ding Xiaobei ran towards him first, and as soon as he called out "brother", tears overflowed. Ding Xiaonan looked up at her, and finally added a hint of color to his face.

"Captain." Yu Yang walked up to him with heavy steps, and saluted him with a straight military posture. Ding Xiaonan didn't speak, just waved his hand to signal him to put it down.

"You didn't cause trouble for Yu Yang over there, did you?"

Ding Xiaobei couldn't say a word except tears, Ding Xiaonan looked very distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort her. The saddest thing about his current appearance is his family, and any words of forgiveness will only increase their sadness.

"No, I've always been very obedient." Ding Xiaobei whimpered and replied, "Have you obediently done a review?" ”

Ding Xiaonan beckoned her to squat down, and stroked her shoulder-length short hair with his hand, all at once, his eyes were full of love.

The three of them were silent like this, and after a while, Ding Xiaobei's mother came over with the inspection report. When Ding Xiaobei saw her, he got up and threw himself into her arms.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Her mother put her arms around her, letting her get tired of being coquettish in her arms.

When she raised her eyes to see Yu Yang, she just nodded indifferently, without any expression on her face.

"Let's go home first." Her mother patted her on the shoulder, and Ding Xiaobei withdrew from her arms.

Yu Yang walked over, pushed into a wheelchair, followed her mother and daughter, and returned to the family home in the county.

"I heard you took your daughter-in-law over?" Ding Xiaonan finally spoke to him on the way back.

Yu Yang nodded, thinking that he couldn't see it when he sat in front of him, and hurriedly added, "Yes." ”

Ding Xiaobei heard their conversation and turned her head to look at Yu Yang, but seeing that there was no change in the expression on Yu Yang's face, she continued to walk forward with her mother in her arms.

"The place is poor, be kind to others." Ding Xiaonan was silent for a while before he explained in a calm voice.

Yu Yang listened to his words, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Yes." As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse.

Ding Xiaonan naturally heard it, and he knew that Yu Yang had not let go of this matter. Don't talk about him, haven't you always accepted this fact?

The two fell silent again, each immersed in their own bitterness.

The hospital was not far from the family home, and they didn't have to walk long to reach Ding Xiaonan's home. Three bungalows with separate courtyards and some vegetables grown in the courtyards. His mother called the door of the middle room, and Yu Yang pushed the wheelchair inside.

"You sit down first, you haven't eaten on the way here, I'll go get you something to eat first." After his mother finished speaking, she walked out, and Ding Xiaobei followed her to the kitchen in the east room.

After they left, Ding Xiaonan pushed his wheelchair to the side of the sofa and stopped, then nodded to the position next to him and said to Yang, "Sit down." ”

Yu Yang walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, and raised his eyes to glance at the room casually. In the middle of the living room, a long table is placed against the wall, on which are placed two bottles of plastic flowers, and a pendulum clock is placed between the two bottles of plastic flowers. In the middle of the wall hangs a white and black photo of Ding Xiaonan's father, also wearing a military uniform, with a very powerful expression. Ding Xiaonan's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his father's.

"I'm luckier than him, at least I'm still alive." Ding Xiaonan pretended to look at the photo lightly and said.

Yu Yang looked back at him and didn't speak, but his gloomy eyes were full of self-blame. In order to save himself, he not only lost two legs, but also had no fertility, and his fiancée, who had not passed the door, quit the marriage soon after getting the news, and his original brilliant life was ruined because of himself.

"Captain, you...... Do you regret it? "If he hadn't reflexively saved him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Ding Xiaonan listened to his words and laughed silently, he lowered his head for a long time before he spoke, "Do you remember what I said when I first gave you a meeting?" As long as I wear this military uniform, I am willing to block bullets for any of you, this is the mission of soldiers. After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at him, "What's more, you are not only my comrade-in-arms." ”

Yu Yang's eyes turned completely red when he heard his words. He lowered his head and forcibly suppressed the sorrow in his heart.

Ding Xiaonan looked at the man in front of him who had always been a relative, and his heart was also wrenching. He and Yu Yang have been together for too long, and he has forgotten how many years he has. But the scene he saw Yang for the first time has never forgotten it.

I don't remember what year it was, but I know that the policy above at that time was to focus on agricultural production. Large-scale shutdowns throughout the country have been dispatched to participate in agricultural work, even in the army.

At that time, he and their company were assigned to a village called Yujia Village to help the local commune work.

It was also a coincidence that he met Yu Yang, who had just finished harvesting wheat with his team that day, and was about to go to the village committee to find the village director to do the handover, when he passed through a poplar forest, he happened to see Yu Yang and his two friends hunting birds in the woods.

At that time, Yu Yang was still a half-old child, looking at Zuo was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the clothes on his body were patched on the left and right, although Yu Yang's face was childish, but he looked at a kind of composure that his peers did not have. At that time, he was holding a slingshot made of simple tree branches, and the slingshot was played with by him so miraculously that as long as a stone flew out, a bird would fall in the next second.

Because the grain had just been harvested at that time, and there were quite a lot of birds in the forest, the three of them did not have much effort to shoot down six or seven birds. At that time, the three little ones were very happy, at that time the family was very poor, and some families could not necessarily afford to buy a little minced meat during the New Year, so these birds were also a big meal at that time, and for the greedy children, it was a delicacy.

Just as the three children were about to leave after picking up the birds on the ground, five more young men appeared in the poplar forest, the leading one half-pulled his trouser leg and a wheat straw in his mouth.

"Put the bird down." The man with straw in his mouth said it was a matter of course.

One of Yu Yang's partners was a little frightened, and he was about to throw the bird away. Yu Yang noticed his movements and quickly pulled down his arm. His companion came back to his senses, grabbed the bird and stood behind Yu Yang.

The man stared at Yu Yang with a pair of bull's eyes, and the wheat straw in his mouth was also spit out, "Stinky boy, look for a beating." ”

Yu Yang was not afraid of him at all, he frowned immaturely, glanced at the few people in front of him, and then whispered a few words to the little friends behind him, and his two little friends nodded after listening to his words.
