Chapter 31: The Puzzle (6)
Yun Dong's thoughtful appearance made everyone very curious, in everyone's minds, he rarely took things so solemnly, whether it was to his lover or his friends, he had always been reassuring, never so serious.
When everyone gathered in the hall, except for Wang Danni and Eva, as well as Shi Ying and Shang Yi, who had guessed some, everyone else looked at Yun Dong with a calm face a little blankly, guessing what important matter he was going to discuss with everyone.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with concern, Yun Dong's face was embarrassed, and he said, "It's too serious, let's be casual." ”
Qu Yating was still impatient, and urged: "Then you say it quickly, sell less guanzi." ”
Yun Dong nodded, glanced around at everyone, and told his mental journey in a low and mournful voice.
"Ever since Annan returned, I've been thinking about the question, what should I do now? can be worthy of my life. I was born in a humble way, at the age of ten suffered a catastrophe, both parents died, became an orphan, standing alone, hanging from each other, all day long, relying on the help of the villagers to survive, the teacher saw that I was lonely, adopted me, taught the skills of the industry for more than five years, this is only to grow up, and then joined the army, at that time I just wanted to make a living, what to protect the country, guard the territory for me, is just a general word. Fourteen years in the army, after a hundred battles, bloody battlefields, life and death, everything I think and think have naturally undergone irreversible changes, I dare not say that I am reborn from the fire, but it can be regarded as a change of heart, since then I have established my ideal, that is, to guard peace for our country and people. ”
"The army raised me, created me, made me dependent, made me nostalgic, where I met many unforgettable people, there are too many unforgettable memories, the kind of life and death between comrades-in-arms can never be forgotten, I saw with my own eyes, they helped their comrades-in-arms as bullets, left the hope of life to others, and left death to themselves, the scene of that kind of generosity to death is blood-boiling and unforgettable."
"It is under their inspiration that I have always been on the front line of the battle, I am proud of myself, although death is always with us, but I am not afraid, because there is nothing to fear, I think as long as the motherland and the people need me, I will be willing to be a guardian of peace, guarding this great river and mountain, guarding this hard-working and kind people. But human life, is always full of too many unknowns, under Kinoshita Canaan's careful design and framing, I was forced to leave the barracks, the night I left, I hid in a place where no one was, hiding my face and crying, my heart was full of grief and sorrow, I felt sorry for those brothers who died, monks, cowboys, monkeys, why they died, why not me, if it was me, I would no longer have to carry so much pain and sorrow, and the responsibility to continue to live for them. ”
Yun Dong gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Qu Xiaomei couldn't cry anymore, she felt the most deeply everything Yun Dong said, because she was also one of them.
"Many nights, I meditated on the night sky alone, and recently, I finally figured it out, in fact, when the monkey was dying, he was worried about his sister Xiaoxiao, worried that she would be alone in the world in the future, lonely, no one to take care of, in fact, he was not worried about me, he put the responsibility of finding Xiaoxiao to take care of her on me, is to give me an excuse to live, it is with this excuse, I did not go to the gang of ambushers desperately, I took the rest of my brothers back to the motherland, to accept the trial, also left my beloved military camp, ending my military career. ”
"At that time, I thought it was time for me to return to an ordinary life, and at that time I thought, after finding Xiaoxiao, I will determine whether she is living happily now, whether she can live a self-reliant life, and after helping her to stand on her own, I will return to my hometown, be a plain-headed citizen, and then spend the rest of my life in peace."
"I never thought that in this process, I don't know if it was God's special favor, or because of fate in my previous life, I met you again and again, in fact, at that time, I wrapped my heart in a thick layer of armor, and I didn't want to have any new contact with the outside world, because this bustling and noisy city is a completely strange world for me, I am a person, I also have an inferiority complex, and I also have vanity, and I am afraid that I will be hit again, but it's you, Dani, Xiaoying, Eva, Xiaoyi, Kaeko, And the little sister who has been with me for several years, and my brother - the knife, it is you who have stripped me of the disguised armor with true feelings, melted the ice in my heart, and made me unable to escape, but I am hungry and thirsty, and I am willing to be gluttonous, I know that in fact, my heart needs you, and I need true feelings to nourish, for you, I don't want to say anything grateful, because you have already become my relatives in my heart, and for me, family affection means never abandoning, sharing weal and pain, death and life together, you give me, I want to give you back and make you happy for the rest of your life, and that's what I'm supposed to do right now. ”
"Before, I was in Beizhou, I met another brother from the same background as me, he is now the leader of the Beizhou Big Circle Gang, called Zheng **, gathered around him, most of them are retired soldiers from our army, they are in a foreign country, with their lives to fight, with blood to open the way, to create a different world, I asked Zheng **, why this phenomenon occurs, he told me in a sarcastic tone, because our country is not strong enough, can not solve the problem of the livelihood of up to tens of thousands of retired soldiers every year, They can't be given a way out without worries. His words stung me deeply, and reminded me of many soldiers who were injured and disabled because of their service in the army, in battle, in the course of their duties, and who, after their retirement, were unable to find the job they wanted because of their disability, and struggled to survive on the welfare funds and meager pensions of the civil affairs department, and even could not support themselves. Therefore, for the sake of my family and for them, I decided to build a business empire of my own, which is currently oriented to Shanghai, Annam and Beizhou, facing the world and making money all over the world. ”
"But I make money, not only for the happiness of my family, I want to do my best to benefit the society and repay the country, I want to set up a veterans relief fund under the name of the company, starting with medical assistance, as long as it is a veteran with a discharge certificate, you can enjoy the remaining part of the deficiency in addition to the local medical insurance reimbursement, which will be reimbursed by the foundation to make up."
