Luo Yang stayed in the cemetery for most of the day, he talked a lot with his comrades, and said all the words that had been pent up in his heart, and cried happily.

When Luo Yang stood up and said goodbye to his comrades-in-arms, he felt much more comfortable in his heart, wiped his tears, and silently told his comrades-in-arms that he would come to see them again.

"What happened back then is not what anyone wants, the past is over, and those of us who are alive should live better, which is also their expectation ......." On the way back, Wang Hu couldn't help but persuade Luo Yangdao.

Luo Yang nodded, in fact, he understood the truth, and he was not actually responsible for the tragedy back then, but if it wasn't for Zhou Hongqi and them to let Luo Yang run out first to find someone to put out the fire, and a few of them stayed to continue to stop the spread of the fire, maybe they would have burned to death together.

However, Luo Yang has always had a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, and many times he blames himself, blaming himself for not being on the scene when his comrades need him the most, and when he rushed back with people, the raging flames had already swallowed up all those familiar figures.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, and only after the mountain fire did they find their bodies in the depths of the ruins, their bodies had been burned to charcoal, but they could vaguely distinguish the outline, and the comrades-in-arms maintained the appearance of fighting at the moment before they died, and when they saw this scene, Luo Yang, who couldn't accept the facts, fainted directly.

After that, Luo Yang fell seriously ill, and for a long time, when he closed his eyes, he could see the raging flames around him, as well as Zhou Hongqi's appearance of desperately shouting at him at the end.

"Go and call someone, go and call someone! Here we are! Go and call someone! ”

This voice kept echoing in Luo Yang's ears, so that Luo Yang could never forget it. From that day on, the cheerful Luo Yang became silent, and it was not until a long time later that he gradually returned to normal from the nightmare.

Although Luo Yang looks no different from before, in fact, deep down Luo Yang knows that the guilt and pain of this matter will accompany him for the rest of his life.

As he said at the grave, he became a deserter and failed to stay with everyone at the most critical moment. Many times, Luo Yang even thought that if he and Zhou Hongqi were buried in the fire together, it might be a relief for himself.

Zhou Hongqi left the hope of life to themselves at the last moment, but their lives were fixed at the most brilliant moment of their lives. It is precisely for this reason that Luo Yang has been doing his best to do something for his sacrificed comrades-in-arms, and this is an important reason why he gave up the job arranged for him by his parents and took the soldiers and soldiers to do the black market.

Luo Yang made a lot of money in the black market, and if he enjoyed all the money himself, Luo Yang could live a very good life. But in fact, most of the money he earned was sent to Zhou Hongqi's family, because he knew that the families of these comrades-in-arms needed his help more, and he could only do his best for them in this way now.

This time, Luo Yang asked for leave to go out, and Luo Yang visited the homes of these comrades-in-arms, and at the same time went back to the Great Northern Wilderness to see the brothers and sisters who were sleeping here.

"Walking on the Stars"

After reading Zhou Hongqi and them, Luo Yang, under the leadership of Wang Hu, went to the graves of Wang Laohan and the old branch secretary again, presented flowers to the two old men, put on a pillar of incense, and kowtowed a few times.

"Brother Huzi, I ask you for a favor." When he returned to the cabin in the evening, Luo Yang, who had calmed down, said to Wang Hu.

He took out a stack of money from his bag, and said in Wang Hu's puzzled expression: "I don't know when I will be able to come back again when I go back this time, and the leave I asked for will be time soon, and I won't stay here for a few days." You keep this money, help me repair the tomb of the Red Flag and their grave, every year Qingming, Winter Solstice and Sacrifice Day, help put on a few more incense, burn some paper money ....... ”

"It's no problem to repair the grave, I'll arrange this matter, as for the rest, you can rest assured, as long as I'm here, I will definitely take care of it." Wang Hu agreed, and at the same time pushed the money back: "This money is not needed, although your brother Huzi is not rich, but you don't need any money to live in the forest, repairing the grave is just hard work, I just have time to get it, as for the rest of the things, they are sacrificed for the country and this forest, these are also what I should do." ”

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "How can I let you help for nothing?" This is not ....... ”

"Luo Yang, I'll be angry if I say that again, you know my temper, put the money away, this matter is settled!" Wang Hu said bluntly with a straight face, seeing that he was so resolute, Luo Yang had no choice but to nod and put away the stack of money.

That night, Luo Yang continued to stay in the cabin for one night, and the next day Luo Yang left, he was going to go to the Zhiqing Point today, and after seeing the Zhiqing Point, he would go back to the county seat and take the train back to Yanjing, and after coming out for so many days, his vacation will come soon.

Wang Hu took the dog baby to accompany Luo Yang to the Zhiqing Point, and returned to the place where he had lived for many years, Luo Yang's mood was much calmer than yesterday.

From a distance, it seems that the Zhiqing Point is still the same as before, but when I got closer, I found that the current Zhiqing Point is no better than the ruins.

The small courtyards of earthen houses were built by the educated youths in the Great Northern Wilderness back then, and Luo Yang was one of the participants. And now this place has been completely abandoned, and the educated youth who lived here have long since left, and with their departure, there has been no one living here.

The ground is overgrown with weeds, almost half the height of a person, and it is difficult to distinguish if you don't pay attention to the path that you had stepped on.

Wang Hu used a firewood knife to help clear the weeds on the path, walked slowly forward, and soon arrived at a small courtyard.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Luo Yang looked at the extremely familiar place in front of him, Luo Yang's mind couldn't help flashing the scene of the year, he gently pushed open the hidden courtyard door, and walked into the courtyard, the wall of the small courtyard has collapsed due to disrepair, and even the courtyard is full of weeds and dust.

The earthen house is made of mud embryos, many houses in the Great Northern Wilderness are such buildings, the houses in the courtyard are roughly intact, Luo Yang pushed the door, and found that the door was locked, the lock had long been rusty, and the key was not known in whose hands.

Maybe a young comrade-in-arms who locked the door and left last to lock the door was just a subconscious action, as if he locked the door before leaving home. But he would never have thought that he might never come back if he left like this, and now Luo Yang, who has no key, can't enter the house, so he can only stand outside the house and look inside the house through the cracks.

The display in the house is still familiar, just like when I left, but because there have been no people for many years, the simple furniture and household items in the house are covered with dust and look dusty.

After looking at it in a daze for a long time, Luo Yang felt a burst of loss in his heart, he sighed lightly and turned around without looking back, when he and Wang Hu walked out of the path along the path, they subconsciously looked back again, as if they wanted to keep everything in front of them in their hearts as when they left.

The shuttle bus to the county town arrived on time, and Luo Yang, who was parting, hugged Wang Hu tightly, Wang Hu patted Luo Yang's back, and said that he could rest assured that the things he had explained would definitely be done for him, and he would pay attention to safety on the way back this time, and come back when he had time.

"Thank you, Brother Huzi, thank you, ......." Luo Yang said goodbye to Wang Hu with tears in his eyes, turned around and picked up his luggage and got into the car.

When the car started slowly and headed towards the county seat, Wang Hu still stood in place and silently watched Luo Yang leave, and when the car drove far away and could no longer see the rear of the car, Wang Hu sighed and subconsciously touched his pocket to prepare to take out a cigarette.

But he was stunned for a moment, because the hand that reached into his pocket touched a thick stack of things, and when he took it out, he found that it was a thick stack of banknotes, which seemed to be thousands of yuan, and he didn't know when Luo Yang quietly stuffed it into his pocket.

"Ugh......." Wang Hu subconsciously raised his head in the direction of the car, trying to beckon Luo Yang to stop the car he was sitting in and return the money to Luo Yang. But at this time, the car had already disappeared, Wang Hu's hand waved in the air, and finally put it down helplessly.

"This kid ......." Wang Hu smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, thought about it, picked up the dog baby on the side, and walked slowly in the direction of his forest hut.
