One hundred and fifty-six - under the sunset
"Because...... Divisional commander he, said so. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Even though he is old, he has more experience than most people, and he has long been accustomed to parting from life and death...... However, there is one thing that cannot be viewed with leisure and indifference.
That's ...... The death of a loved one.
"Don't get in the way of that kid...... He had things to do, and he didn't want him to waste precious time on this old bone that was about to die. The last thing the child needs to know now is the death of the old man. It's great that he's not here...... When he returns, if he asks...... Let's just say that I have moved, old man...... That's what the division commander said. ”
As he spoke, gradually, he began to remember the look on the other party's face when he visited Nangong Longfei that day......
"Hah! Originally, the division commander didn't even want you to know about his death...... However, after the Marshal of the East and the old man Zuo discussed, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so. They think that it is impossible for paper to contain fire, and you and Master Bayi are too smart, and sooner or later they will know the fact that Master Commander has died. Even if you deliberately hide it, you won't be able to hide it for long...... If you let you find out on your own, there is still the possibility of collapse, which is why you have this tombstone in front of you. According to the meaning of the marshal of the East, they are ready to give you a year. Within this year, if you ask to come back to visit the teacher, then wait until you return here, and then move the tombstone and coffin of the teacher to the back mountain, and bury the teacher next to his sister. On the other hand, if you have no intention of coming back to visit the division commander during the year, then simply remove the division's tombstone and coffin. But...... I didn't expect you to make this request on the day you returned from overseas, it seems that even if you are an old man Zuo, there will be times when you miscalculate! You, in fact, had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong before you set off, right? Otherwise, I don't think you'd be in a hurry to apply for a vacation on the day you returned...... Haha, kids who are too smart can be really hard to deal with sometimes!"
As early as halfway through the speech, Kong Ciren actually didn't continue to pour himself up, but was still holding the cup. Now, even the cup unconsciously slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Kong Ciren joined the military department when he was young, and spent nearly half of his life in the military department.
He has followed Nangong Longfei for many years, and in addition to being guided by the other party, he has also faced hundreds of battles with this division commander. Although the difference is only more than 20 years, it is ...... In his heart, he had long regarded Nangong Longfei as a father-like existence.
Tears welled up uncontrollably under the square-rimmed glasses. In order to hide this, Kong Ciren covered his face with one hand, but from the traces of water droplets on the floor, the fact that the division commander who was over fifty years old could still be clearly judged.
“......”
After listening to Kong Ciren's words...... Although there were a lot of other parties' self-talk mixed in, Ji Yuehua still fell into silence.
Did he, before he set off, vaguely sense that something was wrong?
Yes.
Kong Ciren is not wrong......
Now he is at the time of hard work. It is true that he is concerned about Nangong Longfei, but because he has no experience in life and death, he still does not have a very clear concept...... Until then, the only thing he knew was that the battlefield could take lives, and for that, he had to be there in the event of a battle and use his own hands to protect the important ones...... He never thought that even outside the battlefield, there would be "death".
Intellectually, he knew that human life has its limits...... However, he always thought it was a long, long time later. He didn't even think about it...... It turns out that his "world" is so fragile.
Now that he thinks about it, if nothing abnormal happens, even if he is worried about Nangong Longfei in his heart, he will have to wait until he remembers this matter and actually finds time to go back to visit the other party...... There may be a long way to go.
It was because he felt that "Nangong Longfei's reply speed was slowing down" was abnormal, so he couldn't wait to come back and take a look at the other party to confirm whether the other party was still safe. Even if he didn't realize the fact that "his teacher is dying" in a real sense at that moment, he actually vaguely guessed in his heart that "his teacher's body is almost unable to hold on"...... Such a possibility.
"Ahh
After talking to himself, there was silence for a long time.
Kong Ciren took off the glasses on his face, wiped away the tears that should not exist from the perspective of self-esteem with his sleeves, and then, with red and swollen eyes, took out a stack of papers that he had torn out of nowhere from his pocket and handed it to Ji Yuehua.
"We found it in a drawer next to the division commander's bed. Division Commander He ...... Since his retirement, it seems that he has always had the habit of keeping a diary. These are about your pages, Old Man Zuo tore them off after sorting them out, please I will pass them on to you...... You just take it. ”
"Teacher Long Fei's ...... Diary ?!!"
Hearing Kong Ciren's words, before his brain could react, Ji Yuehua's body had snatched the diary from Kong Ciren's hand.
These diaries that were deliberately left to him after sorting them out are not very large, and if they really want to say, they are only about dozens of pages. In terms of the entire retirement career of about nine to ten years, the proportion is really not a lot, and in terms of quantity, it is simply not worth mentioning compared to the documents that Ji Yuehua usually handles.
However, at this moment, Ji Yuehua held the diary in his hand, and the tissue paper, which was only a few dozen sheets, was as heavy as an iron block filled with lead water. Ji Yuehua trembled and looked at the diary on the first page, and then turned to the next page tremblingly to continue reading.
During this period, Kong Ciren didn't say a word, just hung his head, held his forehead, didn't know what he was thinking, and sat there quietly.
Ji Yuehua's reading speed has always been very fast, and his memory is as strong as his memory, basically, a full page of text can be read in just one minute, not only can it be memorized backwards, but that memory can be preserved for a long time. At this moment, however, he was looking very slowly, his gaze resting on every word in the diary...... Almost every time a page is turned, the brain pauses.
That's it...... Minutes and seconds passed.
It was morning when Ji Yuehua arrived at the dojo, and now, it was almost sunset.
The afterglow of the remnant sun sprinkled on the ground, and for some reason, only today seemed to bring a trace of sadness. Just as Kong Ciren wanted to say something, Ji Yuehua, who had been looking through the diary with her head down, suddenly said, "I won't forgive you......"
Diary, I've read it. It records most of the things that Nangong Longfei has had since he met him...... densely, it was filled with a lot of things that Nangong Longfei had never told him, including Nangong Longfei's thoughts, and his concern for him.
He still has a lot of things that he didn't tell Nangong Longfei. Similarly, there are many things about Nangong Longfei that he doesn't know.
If she had seen this diary at another point in time, Ji Yuehua might have indulged in the memories with this old man, and she would have shown a dull smile...... However, now let him see that apart from anger and sadness, Ji Yuehua's mind was empty.
"I, there are still a lot of things I haven't told Teacher Long Fei! There are many, many things that I want to do with Mr. Long Fei...... Obviously, it was supposed to be like this!"
“......”
"It's your fault...... If it weren't for your assertions, I wouldn't have been able to see him for the last time!!"
My heart hurt as if it had been torn apart.
The World in Cognition...... It's already a corner. It is impossible to recover, and never will be.
I really want to find something to vent the emotions in my heart, but the only thing is the diary in my hand...... But he cherished it with his left hand, lest he would accidentally destroy the teacher's last relic.
forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, causing his body to tremble violently. Ji Yuehua hung her head, bit her lip with blood marks, and said word by word, "It's okay for you, it's okay for Old Man Zuo, and it's okay for Teacher Long Fei...... I will never forgive you! Ten years from now, twenty years from now...... I will never forget what you deceived me! Absolutely!"
"Really?......"
The slender snow-white right hand was bruised by the clenching.
Ji Yuehua didn't raise his head, and Kong Ciren didn't spy on what kind of expression he had on his face, but just silently put his eyes on the sunset in the distance...... That's it. ”
