Chapter 53: The Story

No wonder Nie Li is very curious, it is indeed strange, these graves are all small graves, right next to the ground, looking at the appearance of no weeds, someone should take care of it, but why.

Why don't you erect a monument??

This is very unreasonable.

When Uncle An mentioned this cemetery, his face showed embarrassment, and he looked at it for a while, and then said, "I'll tell you a story, I don't mean anything else." ”

Nie Li and the others leaned over to hear what Uncle An wanted to say.

"It was about more than ten years ago, we had a war disaster here, and there were many foreigners who followed the sweep, at that time there was a baby in the village who was a soldier outside, and the official was not a platoon commander, and there was no way in the village, so I went to find him."

"Then I gave birth to a baby, I didn't say a word, I directly took my subordinates to protect my hometown, but the soldiers were too fierce, and in the end they fought for nearly half a month, and a platoon was gone, and only one person survived, and the villagers opened a cemetery in order to thank these children, and buried these people here."

"But at that time, I was afraid of retribution, so I didn't dare to erect a tombstone. It's been like this until now, fortunately, the villagers know how to be grateful, and they offer a lot of offerings during the New Year's holidays, so it's so clean. ”

The second sister looked at Uncle An curiously: "Then now that we have stood up, why don't we erect the monument?" ”

I don't think it makes sense.

Uncle An's embarrassed expression became more and more serious, and Nie Li saw it in his eyes.

"Maybe it's shameless, but I'm also a little afraid, after all, these brothers are soldiers, but in fact, they were also a small warlord at that time, and according to the current policy, it is not suitable."

After speaking, he reluctantly smiled: "Okay, what are you talking about, it's a bunch of dead ghosts." ”

Only Nie Li silently followed Uncle An and did not speak.

It wasn't until he was busy with some farm work in the field that when he went back, Nie Li suddenly said.

"Uncle, it's you who survived!"

Uncle An was stunned, then tears blurred his eyes, and he nodded painfully.

"That's right, I'm the platoon commander, the platoon commander who buried his brother here back then, I'm sorry brothers, why am I alive, why."

"You know what? The youngest was only eighteen years old, and I didn't even marry a daughter-in-law, and I usually ask me that I want to marry a daughter-in-law like my sister-in-law after the platoon commander. ”

"You don't know, when the wounds are healed, I can't wait to die for them."

As he spoke, half-squatting on the ground, a sturdy man cried loudly.

The second sister looked at Nie Li and Uncle An in astonishment.

"Uncle An, that person is you?"

Nie Li took the second sister's hand and told him not to ask.

This is a sad thing, and it is also a legacy of the previous dynasty, and the wound of the warlords when they were fighting.

It's hard for the common people.

Pulling up Uncle An, Nie Li comforted: "Uncle has time to erect a tombstone, after all, people can't die without a tombstone, as for the things you are worried about that people are looking for trouble, I don't think it's possible, it's not an old society now, how can I trouble you because of this." ”

"After all, these people died for the sake of the villagers."

Uncle An thought about it for a while, and after a while, he laughed: "Forget it, just accompany my brothers when I die, let's go back to dinner." ”

"You can hurry after eating, but if you are not in a hurry, you can wait until tomorrow, there is still a lively event in the village today."
