Chapter 601: Cemetery

"Is the kid alright?"

After half past twelve, the sound of the artillery outside gradually subsided, and the most lively time passed.

Rowling walked into the wing room from the outside, and Lin Yuhang, who had already made the bed, raised his head and asked.

"It's okay, Maomao and Yangyang are sleeping fragrantly, the two boys are fine." Luo Lin said with a smile, she was not worried about the child who had fallen asleep in front of her, so she went to see it with Lin Yan.

The cannon outside was so loud that it was not good for the child to be a little frightened, but who would have thought that the two little guys would have a very general demeanor, and the cannon outside was full of sound, but they slept correctly.

"These two boys, who have been sticking to the lake since childhood, can still run away now." Lin Yuhang also laughed when he heard it, and joked by the way.

"Isn't that what the brothers are like?" Rowling smiled and said: "I think it's not bad, the two children grew up together and are cousins, so it's naturally good to be close." Now everyone has only one child, and it is rare to have several in the family like when we were children, and it is better to have a companion than to be alone since childhood. ”

"That's just as well." Lin Yuhang nodded, thought for a while, and said, "It would be nice if the eldest brother and sister-in-law were also there, so it would be even more lively." ”

Speaking of Lin Jianhang, I haven't seen him for a few days.

Even Lin Jianhang's son couldn't go home after he was born, but Chen Yuqin went to see it.

Lin Jianhang's child is one year younger than Maomao, half a year older than Yangyang, and he is still a nursing doll. Listening to Chen Yuqin say that the child grows up well, like Lin Jianhang and their sister-in-law, they have taken the advantages of the two, and they must be a beautiful young man when they grow up.

The husband and wife kept saying that they wanted to come, but they never came, Chen Yuqin nagged several times, and couldn't help but complain a little in her heart.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who makes the eldest brother and sister-in-law all soldiers? Lin Yuhang and his wife, who used to be soldiers, know this very well, and many times they are in the military, they can't do what they want to do, and now that the war in the southwest is intermittent, Lin Jianhang and his troops are stationed in the Southwest Military Region, and once the war on the front line changes, their troops will be the first to support.

"When do you think the eldest brother and sister-in-law will come back?"

Lying down and straightening the quilt for her husband next to her, Rowling couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say...... Although Lin Yuhang left the army, he has always paid attention to the situation of the troops, and now the situation in the southwest is much better than before, but everything is possible if the war does not stop for a day.

As soon as he thought of the southwest, Lin Yuhang's mind flashed the scene on the battlefield back then, and thought of the ...... of his comrades-in-arms who sacrificed himself.

Seeing that Lin Yuhang's mood was depressed all of a sudden, Rowling immediately understood something, she comforted Lin Yuhang for a few words, and stopped mentioning this matter.

But where can you forget it right away? Lin Yuhang didn't sleep well this night, and his mind was full of the pictures of the battlefield back then, and those vivid and familiar faces seemed to be still in front of his eyes, and they would never be forgotten.

When he got up the next day, Lin Yuhang suddenly made a decision, he wanted to go back and take a look, look at the comrades who stayed there forever, and look at the places where he had fought with them.......

Lin Yuhang is a person who does what he says, and this matter has actually been concerned about him for a long time, after making up his mind, Lin Yuhang began to prepare, and Luo Lin supported her husband's decision, and offered to accompany him.

However, Lin Yuhang refused to be accompanied by Rowling, after all, it is a long way from Yanjing to the southwest, and the war over there is not over, everything can happen, Rowling is a little inconvenient as a woman, and the current Rowling is no longer the Rowling of the past, she will be recognized by many people along the way when she goes out like this, and there will be some unnecessary trouble when the time comes.

After listening to her husband's explanation, Rowling thought about it and felt that his concerns were reasonable, so she didn't insist. What's more, Lin Yuhang will have to spend at least half a month this time, and if he goes to the house to take care of the children, he can't leave it all to Lin Yan, right?

On the fourth day of junior high school, Lin Yuhang arranged the work of the unit, and it was the time of the health care products market just after the New Year, and he walked away for more than half a month It would not have any impact on his work. And he will also contact the unit by phone outside, so he doesn't have to worry about work.

In this way, Lin Yuhang set off with his luggage on the fifth day of the first month, he first took the train to Spring City, and after arriving, Lin Yuhang changed to a long-distance car, and finally came to the area where their troops were stationed for a few days.

A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the original barracks have changed beyond recognition, and some familiar buildings have long been gone, even the troops have not seen them.

I found someone nearby and asked, only to know that the military camp here had moved away last year, and the people naturally didn't know where it had moved. Lin Yuhang is no longer a soldier at the moment, and there is no way to inquire about the situation with the local armed forces, so he can only give up for the time being, and after resting there for a day, Lin Yuhang continued to take the car to the southwest.

Because the war is not over yet, the more southwest he goes, the stricter the investigation becomes, thanks to Lin Yuhang with his demobilized soldier ID and the letter of introduction issued by the unit, this is quite smooth.

After continuing to walk for two days, Lin Yuhang came to a place, which was no different from other mountains in the southwest, but in the mountains not far from the town, it was the location of the martyrs' cemetery, and Lin Yuhang's comrades-in-arms were buried here.

On the day of arrival, Lin Yuhang did not go to see them immediately, but stayed nearby.

He had to calm himself down, and at the same time he had to make some preparations in the town, buy some cigarettes, alcohol, paper money, incense and candles, and wait until tomorrow to go.

The next day, Lin Yuhang rented a tractor with his things and headed towards the location of the martyrs' cemetery.

"Comrade, are you going to sweep the grave?"

The tractor was driven by a middle-aged man from a local commune, watching Lin Yuhang get into the car with his things, and he looked a little silent without saying a word along the way, and couldn't help but ask after driving for a while.

"yes, go see your comrades." Lin Yuhang said.

"Are you ...... too?" The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Yuhang with some surprise.

Lin Yuhang nodded but didn't say much, and the middle-aged man sighed: "It's a pity that they are all good young men, but it's a pity that they are ...... at such a young age." ”

Lin Yuhang didn't speak, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the other party, and took a deep breath on the fire.

"You haven't been here in years, have you?" Taking a puff of his cigarette, the middle-aged man asked.

"I came to see it when I left, and it was more than two years in a flash."

"Time flies so fast, I still remember very clearly when this cemetery was built, there were a lot of people in our commune, and I also went, and I did it for half a ......month." The middle-aged man talked about the past, and Lin Yuhang listened carefully and did not interject.

When the cemetery was built, Lin Yuhang was still recuperating in the hospital, and when he was discharged from the hospital and returned to the army, his comrades-in-arms had already been buried here. So Lin Yuhang didn't know about these things, and it was the first time he had heard of them.

After listening for a while, Lin Yuhang asked the middle-aged man if there were many people who had swept the tombs over the years, and how was the maintenance of the cemetery.

The middle-aged man told Lin Yuhang that the maintenance of the cemetery is not bad, after all, the people buried here are martyrs, both the army and the local government attach great importance to the cemetery, and the local civil affairs and armed forces department has a special person responsible for and maintenance, so don't worry.

As for the number of grave sweepers at first, there were a few people, but in the past two years, there have gradually decreased. After all, the people who are buried here are not locals, their relatives are not here, there are people from all over the world, and many family members are mostly from rural areas.

In these years, it is not easy to go far away. Not to mention people in the countryside, even in the city.

Along the way, the cost of travel, accommodation and food costs a lot, which is not affordable for ordinary people, so the cemetery is usually very deserted, and many times from morning to night there is no tomb sweeper at all.

Hearing this, Lin Yuhang couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, why didn't he think of this?

Most of their comrades-in-arms are not in good condition at home, and they are buried here after sacrifice, and their relatives come to visit for the first time because they are arranged and entertained by the troops, but they will have to rely on themselves to come back in the future.

It's not easy to come once, even if you think about it in your heart, the actual conditions can't be met.

Lin Yuhang felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of this, and at the same time, he couldn't let go of his negligence.

The road is not far, but the road is not easy to walk, and the tractor suddenly drove for a little half a day before arriving. When he arrived at the place, Lin Yuhang thanked the middle-aged man, took a pack of cigarettes and stuffed them into the other party's hand, and let the other party wait for him in this trouble, and he had to take a ride back after sweeping the tomb.

The middle-aged man refused to accept Lin Yuhang's cigarettes, and said vigorously that Lin Yuhang was a comrade in the army who came to visit his comrades-in-arms, and it was right to send him over. What's more, Lin Yuhang has already given money before, so what is it to take cigarettes now? He reassured Lin Yuhang that he would be waiting for him to come back here, and he would definitely not walk away.

Lin Yuhang said a few words of thanks, but the cigarette still stayed, and then walked into the cemetery with his things.

The cemetery is a little different from the memory, mainly because the trees that were just planted have grown much taller in the past few years, and the traces of the original new construction have gradually blended into the surrounding environment with the passage of time.

According to the impression in his memory, Lin Yuhang walked up the stone steps and walked towards the top.

After walking for a while, a number of tombstones appeared in front of his eyes, these tombstones were all of average size, neatly arranged, and a red five star was engraved in the center of the tombstone, and below was the name ...... of the comrades who were buried here.

In this green mountain cemetery, they stood as if they were in front of them, greeting their comrades-in-arms who came to visit them with a smile.

Involuntarily stopped, Lin Yuhang's eyes were full of tears, tears flooded his eyes, and the tombstones seemed to have become familiar faces all of a sudden, greeting him warmly, and asking with a loud smile: "It's coming!" Lao Lin! Why is it so late? Everyone is waiting for you, come here! Have a drink! ”
