Chapter 65: The Funeral
In the homes of civilians, only one person died in the home, and the body was left for three days. Loved ones are keeping vigil beside them.
But this time Di Hu's death, his relatives were not nearby. The Deep Blue organized these people to spontaneously wake for him. Because they know that although it is for Di Hu's spirit. Rather, it is a wake for all those who have died for this cause.
Captain Wang urgently ordered the search for the family of the deceased that day. For three whole days, the family members arrived one after another, and saw their relatives lying there motionless with their eyes closed at the moment, and one tragic cry after another came out.
Everyone present bowed their heads and did not say a word.
It was the worst battle for the Deep Blue organization, and it was also a battle for which there was no preparation.
Captain Wang listened to the crying outside at the moment, holding half of the burning cigarette in his hand. He can be seen with thick dark circles around his eyes, and it looks like he hasn't slept all night.
The round ashtray on the table was already stuffed with cigarette butts, but this night's cigarettes could not relieve the sadness in my heart.
Then there was a slight knock on the door.
Captain Wang said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Please come in." β
The person who came was a woman in her thirties, the woman was wearing plain clothes, but she couldn't hide everyone's beautiful temperament. His face was pale, but there was a hint of strength.
She was holding a little boy who looked smart and smart, looking about seven or eight years old, and had a slight resemblance to Di Hu between his eyebrows.
When Captain Wang saw this woman, he immediately pinched out the cigarette in his hand.
The woman was humble and polite and walked up to Captain Wang. With the child, he bowed slightly: "You are Captain Wang, right?" Although we have not met, my lover always mentioned you before her death, saying that there would be no safety without you. I'm here today and I'm not going to ask you why you didn't protect my lover. Because I knew he would end up like this one day. I have no regrets, I am here to thank you for taking care of my lover all the time, and thank you for bringing him peace and happiness as a family over the years. β
The woman said this without being humble or arrogant. I didn't splash and roll like everyone else, and I didn't cry and cry. It's just calm like a pool of water.
Captain Wang hurriedly stepped forward and helped the woman sit down on the sofa next to her, the calmer Captain Wang saw the woman, the deeper the guilt in his heart: "Where are you?" We should be grateful to Di Hu, if it weren't for him, how would we have so many excellent newcomers? Half of the people here have been taken care of by him. We will remember him well for the rest of our lives. β
Then he looked at such a thin woman and naΓ―ve child, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful in his heart: "If you have any help in the future, come to me, as long as our Deep Blue Organization can help, we will definitely help." β
The woman didn't say anything more when she heard this, but stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you very much." But don't worry, as long as I live one day, I won't trouble you again. β
After the woman said this, she was about to go out, at this time, Captain Wang pondered the meaning of the words, and his face suddenly showed a look of panic, and at the moment when the woman was about to step out of the door, Captain Wang stopped her.
"Wait! Although Di Hu has passed away, then you have to think about it. The people are gone, and the living still need to live. β
The woman turned around and said slightly: "Don't worry, I won't do that now, and I still have children to raise." I can't let my child live alone in the world. β
This sentence reassured Captain Wang a little. Then he asked, "What is the child's name?" β
The woman said casually: "From today onwards, we have nothing to do with you, and it is useless for you to know the child's name." β
With that, they were leaving. At the moment when they closed the door, the child turned around and said, "My name is Di Yunkai." β
Captain Wang muttered the name: "Di Yunkai...... Di Yunkai ......"
"Someone!"
Chen Hongxue walked in from outside the door, and she stood straight in front of Captain Wang.
"If Di Yunkai goes to school or does any work in the future, we will support him."
"What if he joins us?"
Chen Hongxue blurted out.
Captain Wang lit a cigarette again: "You guys look at it!" β
Chen Hongxue answered and went out.
Captain Wang was once again left alone in the entire office.
Of course, all he was accompanied by the smell of smoke in the room.
β¦β¦
Soon the next day, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and everyone was dressed in a neat military uniform and stood neatly in front of the cemetery.
This was the most solemn day for the Deep Blue organization, and it was also their most shameful day.
In front of the servicemen stood a row of family members, who did not have a trace of expression on their faces, not even a little sad crying. Even the usually mischievous children are very quiet today.
Captain Wang is also wearing a military uniform at the moment, which is a very rare thing for him to wear. The neat military uniform did not have a single wrinkle. The star on the epaulette is enough to indicate his rank.
But instead of feeling the slightest pride, he walked up to everyone and began to speak very solemnly: "Today we send you all the martyrs, you have given everything for the country. The country will remember you. I can also tell you that your efforts are worth it. β
"Today your parents have lost their children, your wives have lost their husbands, and your children have lost their fathers. But you are glorious, without you there will be no peace in the country, and without you the security of the country is in jeopardy. β
"Once again, I can assure you that one day I will encounter those enemies, and our country will spare no effort to strike at them. Inherit your efforts and make those pay the price they deserve. β
Captain Wang's short words made everyone present serious, and made all the soldiers present secretly remember this hatred.
"Raise the flag!"
A five-star red flag slowly rose. This time it was raised for the sake of these dead martyrs, without whom there would be no more home, and the country would no longer be a country. The sky was still cloudy and rainy, and no one with an umbrella watched the red flag rise in the rain.
"Salute!"
At this moment, all the soldiers saluted the red flag in unison, and the danger they would face in the future was even more terrible than it was now. But they have no regrets at this moment.
As Di Hu's wife said: "Although he is dead, I have no regrets." β
A woman can still do it, not to mention that all the men present are men.
"Shoot!"
Gunshots pierced the peaceful sky. It declares that these martyrs are immortal.
The gunshots rang out for a long time, and the sound traveled far and wide.
Yet all were immersed in grief. Behind them, a figure slowly appeared.
He calmly looked at everything in front of him, at the rising red flag.
Let the rain fall on his face.
