After passing the green grassland in front, we walked through a path made of bluestone slabs and entered the cemetery.
A little to the right, there are two middle-aged people in simple clothes, they should be a couple. The woman is holding two glass bottles in her arms, which contain pickled scallops and spicy seeds. The man is half squatting in front of the tombstone, with his hands Holding a bottle of wine, his lips moved, not knowing what he was saying.
It may be the games that my son often played when he was a child, or it may be those unfulfilled promises.
Xiao Suizi looked around as she walked. She knew what she would encounter here long before she got on the train, but when she got here and saw the scene in front of her, she still felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly stopped. She focused her attention on the middle-aged pair, not paying attention to the situation in front of her, and bumped into his back.
"What's wrong?"
"arrive."
arrive?
Xiao Suizi missed a step and looked ahead, and sure enough, she had arrived.
She thought she would have to spend some time looking for it, but she didn't expect it to be quite easy, but... she just couldn't feel relaxed.
There is a shining red star on the tombstone made of cement. A few yellow flowers bloomed on the square tomb behind it, and a bunch of green grass grew straight upward.
As his eyes dropped, that heart-wrenching name came into view.
Chen Can.
Yes, the person lying in the tomb is Chen Can, the man she has had a crush on for many years.
As far as the people in the regiment knew, Lin Yue had made four meritorious service in total.
For the first time, the dog he raised saw through the enemy's ambush. Because of the hasty response, the enemy not only failed to take advantage, but instead left more than 20 corpses and ran away. The transportation troops were able to deliver supplies to the front line in time.
In this battle, Badun was injured and left the combat zone.
The second time, the troops led by Lin Yue successfully ambushed an enemy company, annihilating nearly a hundred enemies, and won the attention and commendation of their superiors. After that, the art troupe received an order to go to the field hospital to help. It only lasted three days, but their performance was... very, very average.
For the third time, Lin Yue led two men deep into the enemy's rear and successfully marked the opponent's transport convoy and important communication hubs. He guided the fighter planes to severely damage the enemy's logistics support system, bringing huge advantages to the frontline combat troops. This time, as A fighting hero who emerged from the art troupe, he gave a speech in front of everyone, a speech that made Chen Can, Hao Shuwen and others feel ashamed.
Afterwards, Chen Can volunteered to go to the frontline combat troops, and Hao Shuwen... she picked up her camera and became a military reporter and rushed to the front.
Later, Chen Can died gloriously in a battle, and Hao Shuwen was admitted to the psychiatric department of No. 452 Hospital when we met again.
The fourth and last time was when Lin Yue led nearly a battalion of enemies into the mountains, giving Liu Feng's troops an excellent opportunity to break out. Since then, there has been no news, and he did not see his safe return until two days ago. He of the country.
Each of these four meritorious services was enough to earn him the title of "combat hero."
"Suizi, Suizi, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yue's call woke her up again.
"Oh, nothing."
"Then don't be stunned and give me flowers."
"Um."
She took a step forward and placed the flower clusters picked from the mountains behind the compound on the altar in front of the tombstone. Only then did she realize that someone had been here a few days ago, because there was a bunch of withered white flowers under the tombstone.
"Just say a few words to him, I'll go over there."
Leaving these words behind, Lin Yue walked further inside.
Xiao Suizi didn't care, because she knew that this cemetery only had this one friend for her, while for Lin Yue and Liu Feng, there were many comrades who had carried guns and fought together.
"Chen Can, I'm sorry. It's been more than two years. This is the first time I've come here to see you, because I didn't know how to face you before, but now... I don't think so much anymore, because he's back. , and told me with practical actions that people cannot always live in the memory of the past. Thank you for accompanying me through the ten years of youth."
She took something out of her bag and put it next to the flowers.
That was Chen Can's cornet. He gave it to her for safekeeping when he made up his mind to go to the front line. He hoped that she would hand it over to him when he came back. But... this became one of the hundreds of regrets surrounding this cemetery.
She raised her head and glanced across the way. Lin Yue was squatting in front of a tombstone, wondering what he was saying to his comrades inside.
Xiao Suizi stood up slowly, stroking the cold tombstone, looking at him not far away, a layer of mist slowly covering her eyes.
In the past ten years, she liked Chen Can at first. She really liked him. She also hated him because of the bad relationship between Lin Yue and Chen Can and others. But then she didn't know when it changed. Thinking about it carefully, it should be It started when the chief secretary asked them to publish a newspaper together. Everyone thought that he was a good cook and a energetic cook. However, only after getting in touch with him did he realize that the advantages he had shown in the past were just the tip of the iceberg. He could easily cook Tagore. Hemingway's popular poems were also able to tell her about the embarrassing incident when Hemingway participated in World War I. He also copied her "Time and Water" by a poet named Steiner.
Chen Can didn't understand this, and many people in the group didn't understand it. She was curious about why he understood it, and then this somewhat complicated mood was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, accumulating more and more. When she realized that she was slowly When she fell in love with him, it was during a quarrel that she chose to stand beside Lin Yue and argue with Chen Can, Zhu Ke and others.
After realizing this, she was very panicked because it was a betrayal of her past self, and Lin Yue was more patient with He Xiaoping than with her. What she couldn't understand was that Chen Can seemed to be aware of her changes and followed her. He has changed and is more considerate to her.
The subtle relationship between Lin Yue, her, and He Xiaoping. The subtle relationship between her, Lin Yue, and Chen Can. The subtle relationship between her, Chen Can, and Hao Shuwen. The subtle relationship between Liu Feng, Lin Dingding, and Lin Yue. The subtle relationship between Liu Feng, He Xiaoping, and Lin Yue. The subtle relationship... She didn't know how to face this complicated network of relationships.
Until... I learned the news of Chen Can's sacrifice.
She put all the responsibility on Lin Yue, thinking that if it weren't for him, Chen Can wouldn't have sacrificed, and Hao Shuwen wouldn't have gone crazy. She hated him and warned herself every day to hate him, hate him, and stay away from him, but Who would have thought that not long after, Liu Feng cried and told He Xiaoping that Lin Yue sacrificed himself and led nearly a battalion into the forest in order to save his company.
Everyone thought that he had also died. What was even more uncomfortable was that even his body could not be found.
Only then did she realize that the hatred caused by Chen Can was very fragile. Sometimes when she saw the handwritten poems he gave her, she would even think that if history could be repeated, she would be willing to die in his place.
However, things are unpredictable. Two days ago, he appeared at the door of the dormitory and said that he was back.
The joy of regaining something, the panic of not knowing how to face it, and the guilt of betraying Chen Can made her not know what to do, so she beat him. She wanted to go to Beijing to go to school to escape from this relationship. , but when I see the faded blackboard drawings and think of the past days, I can’t help but ask for a hug.
That's why when I saw Hao Shuwen rushing over desperately and looking for a sense of security in his arms, I envied her for being able to get what she wanted so simply.
They stayed in the hospital for a day, and Xiao Suizi also struggled for a day, and finally decided to go to Mengzi, because there was a knot in her heart that must be solved.
"Ok?"
She raised her head and saw Lin Yue walking over step by step. There was not much sadness on his face. How can I put it... it was more like a kind of indifference after seeing life and death.
"alright."
She took her hand away from the tombstone.
"Then let's go. If it's too late, we won't be able to catch the bus back to the city." Lin Yue glanced at the sky and said calmly.
"Um."
She took a deep look at the cornets and flowers on the altar, smiled and waved, and followed Lin Yue outside.
When the two people came to the entrance of the cemetery, a one-armed man in his mid-thirties blocked their way.
"Comrade Lin Yue, I didn't expect that we would meet again in just a few days. What are you doing?"
