Chapter Twenty-Nine: Tomb Sweeping

Chen Yang didn't stay in this cemetery for too long, and he didn't want to tell Lin Gang a story, and after paying tribute to the deceased here, he left directly, but he didn't leave the cemetery area, but turned around and walked all the way to the martyr's cemetery on the west side of Xishan Cemetery.

Almost all of the soldiers buried in the Xishan Martyrs Cemetery are the soldiers who died in the 79-year counterattack against Vietnam, Chen Yang's biological father had left his blood and even his life in that foreign land in the past, and the ones who sleep here can be said to be his father's comrades-in-arms, therefore, Chen Yang often came here to visit his father's old comrades-in-arms when he was still serving in Xizhou, even after he left Xizhou, he also specially explained to a few confidant cadres, so that they must take care of this martyr's cemetery, From time to time, it is repaired, maintained and renovated, and as for the cost, there is no need for local financial subsidies in Xizhou, and Chen Yang has already arranged for the Care of Veterans Charity Foundation initiated by Nanyang Group to deal with it properly.

At this time, the autumn is high and cool, and today coincides with the first day of the new year, it is a good time to sweep the tomb to pay tribute to the ancestors, and the other districts of the cemetery will see a lot of people who come to worship their ancestors from time to time, but the Xishan Martyrs Cemetery is deserted, and the ancestors who accompanied these ancestors who spilled their blood in the southern Xinjiang of the motherland in the past can only be the green pine forest that cannot be seen at a glance.

Chen Yang climbed the stairs at a 30-degree angle, and halfway up the mountain, there was a square platform the size of a basketball court, and in the center of the platform, there stood a tall and majestic monument to the martyrs of the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam.

In the end, Chen Yang stopped in front of this monument, and looked at the past, and the mountain behind the monument was full of tombs of unknown martyrs.

Not much. Lin Gang and Geng Feng, who followed him and came up to this platform step by step, worked together to lift up a wreath that had been prepared earlier, and then without Chen Yang's orders, they respectfully placed the wreath in front of this slightly old monument with a solemn face, and then the two retreated again. Very cautiously, he retreated a few meters behind Chen Yang and stopped quietly.

Dad, these old comrades-in-arms of yours are buried here, after all, in our country's own land, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is very beautiful, I believe they will definitely smile at Jiuquan......

Chen Yang silently mourned his deceased father in his heart, and then faced the direction of the monument, his face full of solemnity. He bowed deeply three times.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Gang and Geng Feng behind him, as well as several security personnel accompanying Chen Yang, no longer hid their figures, they didn't need to say anything more under the leadership of Chen Yang, after Chen Yang finished bowing, they also bowed deeply to the monument three times, although there was no prior arrangement. But at this time, their movements are extraordinarily uniform.

Indeed, this moment. The distractions in everyone's hearts were put aside, and all that was left was the admiration and mourning for the martyrs who were buried here.

After Chen Yang bowed, he still stood in front of the tall monument and was silent, refusing to leave for a long time.

It was almost ten minutes before he looked again at the hill-like tombs scattered among the mountains, and the mountain breeze gently blew the tall green pine trees. There was a staggered sound like music, and under the warm autumn sun, this beautiful scenery was particularly charming.

Looking at this rare scene, Chen Yang's feelings were a little gloomy. He couldn't help but sigh faintly: "Alas, Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the horse leather shroud!" Dad, I guess you must have thought the same thing when you died, right? ”

Chen Yang's voice was not loud, but it was too quiet here, and his words were still heard by Lin Gang and others behind him, and the expressions on the faces of the entourage suddenly became more solemn and solemn, all of them stood up straight like javelins, and even breathed as carefully as possible, as if at this time, even if he made a little movement, he would be disrespectful to the martyrs who were sleeping here, and disturb the big boss's deep sorrow for the ancestors.

However, at this time, something unexpected happened, only to hear a sudden dense sound of footsteps at the foot of the mountain, followed by some scattered voices of young men and women from the direction of the steps below.

It was evident that these young men and women were also planning to go up to the martyr's cemetery, and judging by the sound of their voices below, it was evident that they were clamoring at this time because they were being stopped and not allowed to come up.

Chen Yang didn't feel anything about this sudden incident, but Lin Gang immediately frowned at this time, and was about to immediately go down to drive these idlers away, but unexpectedly, the cadres of the Security Bureau who had already stayed at the foot of the mountain below to guard trotted up.

After the cadre of the security bureau ran up, he immediately walked quickly to Chen Yang's side and reported in a low voice: "Director, it is a company employee of some local enterprises, it seems that they have come here for an outing to engage in activities, I have asked the staff to stop them, but they are still refusing to leave for the time being, they have been making noise underneath, it seems that they still want to break up the mountain." ”

Lin Gang also walked over at this time, and when he heard this, he was a little angry, thinking to himself where did these bastards come from, what are they making noise about? Disturbed Secretary Chen's tomb sweeping, can you fools afford this responsibility? Hmph, these idiots, they don't know the impact of paying attention, and they still want to come here to do activities? It's almost as good as looking for death! Is this a place where they can just make noise? Doesn't it embarrass me, the secretary of the municipal party committee? No, I must find out which company these idiots belong to when I go back, and let the person in charge of the company explain it to me in person!

In a hurry, Lin Gang didn't care about paying attention to the details, so he hurriedly walked to Chen Yang's side, and asked Chen Yang with a solemn face: "Secretary, these young people are just too disagreeable now, don't worry, I will immediately ask the city bureau to notify the suburban branch to send someone over and ...... all these people."

Before Lin Gang could finish speaking, Chen Yang waved his hand disapprovingly, and interrupted him lightly: "Forget it." Then he turned his head and instructed the cadre of the guard bureau: "Xiaolin, you go and ask these people what activities they are doing here, if they are not here to sweep the graves of the martyrs, don't embarrass them too much, just let them leave quickly." ”

"Okay, Director."

The cadre hurriedly responded, turned around and ran down the stairs again. (To be continued......)
