Zou Li, who took off his military uniform, walked down the street and found that the street lights didn't seem to be so bright tonight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is nothing wrong with the street lights themselves, just a change in the background. It was clear that it was late at night when it was time to turn off the lights and rest, but the lights in every house were all on, and the entire southern capital city was as bright as day, and in comparison, the street lights did not look as bright as usual.

Another sleepless night.

It's just that it's too quiet, and you can't hear the hustle and bustle of nightlife in the residential buildings, and even the sound of conversation is rare. From time to time, traffic passed by on the streets, and the drivers tried their best to resist the urge to honk their horns, as if they were worried that unnecessary noise would disturb the souls of the martyrs.

If people really have souls, the souls of their comrades-in-arms in the sky will definitely feel gratified, Zou Li thought so, and walked into the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital of Nandu.

Zou Li was the commander of the 258th Battalion of the 23rd Division reinforced the first company and the second platoon, in the decisive battle of Yuanjiang, in order to cover the retreat of the people in the settlement, he fought a bloody battle to the end, and even the establishment was lost, less than ten people returned to Xinyuanjiang, and less than five people walked out of Yuanjiang alive. Now, there are only two people left in the original company, one is Zou Li himself, and the other is now lying on the bed in the inpatient department of a hospital.

Before returning to Beijing with the team, Zou Li had one thing to do, he had to go and see the soldier under him.

Asking all the way along the aisle, Zou Li quickly found the place, it would not be so easy to ask the location of the patient, but Zou Li carried the military ID card with him, and when he encountered difficulties, he only needed to take out the military ID card, and many troubles could be solved.

Now in Nandu, the military is very respected.

Zou Li pushed open the door of the ward, and a smell of alcohol came to his face, making Zou Li wrinkle his nose.

Who drinks in a hospital room? Outrageous! The People's Hospital is really not as good as the military hospital, I really don't know why the soldier under him is so stubborn, he refuses to go to the military hospital to recuperate in peace, and he has to come here to suffer.

After pushing the door into the house, Zou Li first took a few glances at the layout inside. There were six beds in the room, three on the left wall and three on the right wall, but only three of the beds had people lying on them, and the other three beds showed signs of the futon turning, but there were no patients.

On the bed closest to the door, a young man was half-lying looking at a tablet, with headphones on his head, a plaster cast on his right hand, and a scratch on the tablet with his left hand from time to time.

In the bed ahead, there was a middle-aged man about the same age as Zou Li, surrounded by two cute little girls and a gentle woman, the little girl was telling him a story, and the woman was peeling fruit for him, peeling it and cutting it into pieces, and putting it on a plate to make a fruit plate.

At the end of the bed lay a man in his thirties on the bed beside the bed, with no other emotion on his face, only indifference and despair, staring blankly at the ceiling, the snow-white sheet covering his lower body like a coffin.

The other two faces were a little familiar, but Zou Li couldn't remember where they had seen them for a while, and before recalling, the young man closest to Zou Li noticed him first.

"Platoon Commander Zou?" The young warrior slapped the headphones off his head and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

In fact, he was already the commander of the Zou Company, but Zou Li didn't correct him.

"I'm going to return to Shangjing with the troops tomorrow, I heard that you are here, come and see you. That's right, Xiao Ding, you didn't embarrass us in a row! Zou Li smiled and walked to the side of the hospital bed and sat down on a round stool, the reason why he was smiling was because he didn't want the heaviness in his heart to infect others, and the wounded needed a good mood to recover faster.

"Come, eat the fruit." The woman on the hospital bed next to her came over with a plate and smiled at Zou Li, who could see that she was in a really good mood.

It's really strange, why is her man happy when he is lying in a hospital bed?

"Thank you, sister-in-law Qiao." Xiao Ding unceremoniously took the fruit plate, picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and put it in his mouth, and introduced Zou Li while chewing, "Platoon leader, this is Sister-in-law Qiao, and over there is Third Master Qiao and his daughter." ”

Third Master Qiao, it sounds a little familiar. Zou Li nodded and talked to Xiao Ding in a low voice.

Xiao Ding was very happy to find someone to speak, he couldn't close his mouth open, and told Zou Li everything he knew.

After listening for a while, Zou Li understood that the middle-aged man named Qiao Shan next to him was also injured in the defense of Nandu, and both legs were amputated, and it was likely that he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Even so, Qiao Shan's wife was happy, happy from the bottom of her heart, because it meant that Qiao San would not return to the battlefield again.

Hearing this, Zou Lizhen didn't know what to say, and after thinking about it, he could only change the topic: "What about the person on the bed by the window?" ”

"Platoon commander, don't you remember? He was Cheng Xu, and at that time, we were at the evacuation point outside Xinyuanjiang, and we withdrew to Xinyuanjiang with his Rising Sun team. He ......," Xiao Ding suddenly sighed, "I heard that all the guys who were born and died with him were sacrificed, and he was left alone." His mental state is not very stable, and he doesn't pay attention to people, he just drinks all the time, and the doctor doesn't let him drink, but Sister-in-law Qiao has a good heart and secretly brings some wine over for him to drink. He was in worse shape before, but his family came here this afternoon, and now he is better. ”

It was probably this tragic experience that resonated with Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding's expression suddenly became gray.

"It turned out to be him." Zou Li remembered, no wonder he saw that the person was familiar, when the sea of corpses besieged the city, he retreated to the evacuation point with the last few remnants of a company, and happened to run into Cheng Xu's corpse hunter team, and also fought with mutants and traitors at the evacuation point.

Unexpectedly, fate arranged another reunion here, Zou Li sighed and wanted to comfort Cheng Xu, but he couldn't think of anything he could say, he understood this feeling of watching his familiar comrades-in-arms all leave and he was left alone, so he knew that saying anything would be useless.

When they couldn't speak, they put it all in the glass.

Zou Li got up and walked to Cheng Xu's side, and said in a deep voice: "I'm Zou Li, we met at the evacuation point, remember?" ”

Cheng Xu's eyes moved, and his gaze turned to Zou Li's face.

"Two drinks?" Zou Li asked.

Cheng Xu didn't answer, Zou Li turned around and left, and ten minutes later, Zou Li returned to the ward with two bottles of liquor and a bag of glasses.

"Let's have a drink." Zou Li said, opened the wine bottle, poured wine into the cup, one cup after another, handed one cup to Xiao Ding, one cup to Qiao San, one cup to Cheng Xu, poured another glass for himself, and at the end, poured three more glasses and put them on the bedside table.

Qiao Shan's wife frowned and said, "Children don't drink. ”

"Those three glasses of wine are not for you and your children." Zou Li waved his hand, took out a lighter, and lit all three glasses of wine.

"One cup, to my sacrificed comrades-in-arms, one cup, to the Rising Sun Squad, one cup, to the comrades-in-arms of the third master Qiao, I did it." After Zou Li finished speaking, he raised his head and poured a full glass of liquor into his stomach.

Cheng Xu, Qiao Shan and Xiao Ding held the cups and looked at the three beating flames intently.
