Chapter Seventy-Six: After Death

"Who's coming?"

"Mrs. Xu? We belong to your husband's unit. ”

Seconds later, the door opened.

A small girl with a good face and a round face appeared in front of everyone, and after seeing a lot of visitors, Xu Baizhi was a little puzzled.

"You... Is there something wrong? She looked a few people up and down, and her eyes fell on the dark red covered document in Zhou Changfeng's hand.

Zhou Changfeng, who had complicated eyes, held the obituary and saluted with his fists, and wanted to speak, but it seemed like his throat was blocked by something, and he just couldn't say the words.

The three people behind him were silent, Xue Can lowered his head, Liu Qidong tilted his head slightly, and Fan Wenhai, who was on the far right, stared at the obituary.

Seeing that several people were solemn and silent, the worst possibility suddenly emerged from the bottom of Xu Baizhi's heart, making her heart chuckle.

"Mrs. Xu, I am Sun Cheng's battalion commander Zhou Changfeng." Zhou Changfeng took a deep breath and tried to speak in the most stable tone, while presenting the obituary with both hands, "During the battle, Sun Cheng was hit by enemy bullets and fragments and died of injuries. This is his martyrdom obituary. Then, he had some last words......"

Xu Baizhi, whose hands trembled, took the obituary, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and as soon as she got it, Xu Baizhi staggered and slumped on the ground.

"Mrs. Xu, please mourn, we will wait outside the courtyard."

Out of respect, Zhou Changfeng hurriedly closed the door, waved his hand, and led a few people into the alley.

As soon as the door was closed, Xu Baizhi's tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, and a few teardrops fell on the cover of the waterproof obituary, and immediately slipped down.

She sobbed as she opened the obituary and pulled out the paper with the red seal of the Ministry of War.

"Unit: The Second Team of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Praetorian Guard, Name: Sun Cheng, Rank: Captain of the Army, Position: Captain, Hometown: Jiangning County, Yingtianfu......

Time of death: June 30, 36th year of Zhichang, cause of death: bullet through abdomen, fragments through the chest, serious injuries......

The printed italics are so neat and neat, but the words they make up are so cold.

After a long confusion of thoughts, she slowly stood up, wiped away her tears, and reopened the door.

The few people who were waiting outside didn't say a word until now, just smoked one bite at a time.

Seeing that the door opened, Liu Qidong reminded him, and several people quickly extinguished the cigarette butts, and then walked over.

Xu Baizhi was slightly blessed and said softly: "I'm sorry, Chief Zhou, I was a little out of shape before. ”

"It's okay, it's human nature."

"You said earlier that Sun Cheng still has his last words, and I ......"

"You don't have to be called 'you'." Facing Xu Baizhi, who still had tears in the corners of his eyes, Zhou Changfeng really felt that it was difficult to speak, and after a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "Sun Cheng hopes that you will remarry, if you are pregnant... It also flows out. He said that his family was prosperous, and he was not inferior to his old man. ”

Xu Baizhi's eyes were a little dim, but she still shook her head and replied, "He talked to me about this before, I thought it was just a joke...... He must let you persuade me, right? Mr. Zhou, can I make my own decision? ”

"How can we force ......" Zhou Changfeng stared at her and said seriously: "But please think about it carefully, this is the decision for the rest of your life, no matter what, I don't think Sun Cheng wants you to be alone for decades." ”

"I'll think about it." Xu Baizhi, who had a firm look in her eyes, bowed her head, and then took a step back, "Thank you for coming to the door in person in the hot summer, the cold house is ugly, if you don't dislike it, please go into the house to rest for a while, I'll make tea." ”

Zhou Changfeng looked hesitant, "It's not good, we're still ......"

Xu Baizhi shook her head slightly, "I want to hear about him, okay?" ”

In the end, several people entered the house one after another, sitting on the round stool with wide eyes and staring at each other.

It wasn't until Zhou Changfeng was the first to speak that the strange silence was broken.

After the work of the two teas, everyone told the story in as much detail as possible, and Xu Baizhi's expression could not see sadness, as if she had already looked down on the matter.

After leaving behind the pension, the group was ready to leave.

Zhou Changfeng, who couldn't let go of his heart, glanced at the house, "Don't think about it, you must live a good life, you can come to us if you have difficulties in life, don't be embarrassed." ”

"Well, you guys go slowly."

After leaving Sun Cheng's house, the four people on the way back felt uncomfortable, and Fan Wenhai was already opening the second pack of cigarettes.

Suddenly, Xue Can complained: "It's so depressing, no wonder Big Man Xie insists on staying in the camp, he will avoid trouble." ”

"It's a ...... scene Alas," Liu Qidong sighed, "I can't stand it, this is more disturbing than anything else." ”

Xue Can held the steering wheel and smiled sideways: "Battalion commander, what do you think?" ”

"What do you think?"

"It's just... If you die, what will happen after you die? ”

"I don't have a wife, and my eldest sister is married." Zhou Changfeng smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Unlike you, what else do you need to worry about." ”

"Battalion commander, this is not a matter of interest." Liu Qidong was surprised and said: "In addition to your distant relatives, you are the only one left in this branch, if this is the last ......"

When they returned to the camp, several people did not mention the matter of going to Sun Cheng's house to deliver the obituary before, and Xie Wancheng naturally did not ask.

Everyone tacitly chose to downplay what they had seen and heard before, and then pulled the topic to Zhou Changfeng.

"This time it's extremely dangerous, battalion commander, you're half a foot into the ghost gate and walked back." Xue Can said seriously: "Therefore, I think you should take this as a lesson and get married quickly." ”

Aha? What kind of logic is this?

Zhou Changfeng, who was full of black lines, said helplessly: "Are these two related?" ”

"Of course, this person came to the world for a while, whether it was to seek fame, profit, or a plain life, but if he didn't stay behind, wouldn't it be true that people would go to tea and be cold."

“……”

"If you want me to say, that girl was good last time, and she gave a jade pendant as soon as she came up, this is not an insignificant gadget, and the implication is extraordinary." Xie Wancheng said with great interest: "And if it weren't for that thing, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to come back, battalion commander, this can be called a life-saving grace!" ”

Zhou Changfeng waved his hand, "Come on, people gave it as a talisman, but it doesn't mean anything else." ”

"Isn't it, battalion commander, have you changed to a vegetarian diet?" Xue Can tilted his head slightly, curious.

Several people present were indeed suspicious, because in terms of romance and love, Zhou Changfeng was very romantic in the past.

In other words, according to the past style, he should have hooked up with that girl by now.

But looking at his performance now, tsk tsk, it's really changed.

"Ahem," Zhou Changfeng, who was a little embarrassed, chose to change the topic, Xie Wancheng, didn't you say that you would get married after the war? What's going on now? ”
