......
Putting on the pure white navy uniform again, Xu Yan had an illusion that he was in another world.
Almost five years have passed since the army was defeated. This period of time seemed to have passed in a flash, but it also seemed like I had endured a journey of hell that felt like a year.
Xu Yan stretched out his hand and put the lieutenant colonel rank on his shoulder, straightened his clothes and military cap, and stepped out of the door of the guesthouse.
The military uniform, military rank and appointment letter were all brought by Chen Jiangbei and Zhong Chao. By the way, when Chen Jiangbei sneaked a peek at Xu Yan's appointment, his tough, dark and handsome face suddenly collapsed, and it has continued until now.
"Okay, we're going to see our old comrades soon, why are you looking so gloomy?" Zhong Chao said comfortingly with a smile.
"You are so sweet." Chen Jiangbei raised his foot and kicked Zhong Chao's butt with his shin bone. Zhong Chao smiled and pretended to dodge but actually didn't dodge and got kicked.
"Hey, young man, don't be so angry~" It is hard to imagine that Zhong Chao, who is always gentle and easy-going, would speak in such an annoying tone.
Chen Jiangbei could no longer endure it and raised his fist to fight Zhong Chao on the spot.
There is no overnight hatred between comrades-in-arms, and it will be avenged on the same day.
"Come on, you're already grown up, why are you still fooling around like a rookie!" Xu Yan couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and scolded, "Don't you even know where you are!"
The two people fell silent immediately.
In fact, Xu Yan knew that the two of them were trying to ease the heavy atmosphere, fearing that he would be too sad, but there was no need to do so, because no matter how hard they tried, when the white tombstones with familiar names engraved on them appeared in front of him, he would still feel pain.
The same is true for Chen Jiangbei and Zhong Chao, so there is no need to force a smile for him.
The mountain climbing road was very long, and the gate of the Martyrs' Cemetery was not far away. Chen Jiangbei still couldn't hold his breath and finally vomited.
"But why was the captain assigned to Zhong Chao's ship? I still don't accept it!"
After saying that, he stared at Zhong Chao with his big eyes.
"Don't just stare at me. Be careful not to fall." Zhong Chao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He rolled his eyes and reminded him.
"You are sweet only when you are flat...Oh my god! Did you turn into a crow?!"
Xu Yan originally didn't intend to care about these two lovers who had been quarreling since they joined the army. However, he suddenly saw a group of people walking down the mountain from a distance. He immediately turned around and whispered a warning, "There are people!"
Hearing these two words, the two major officers who were about to fight immediately straightened up, held their heads high, had firm expressions and solemn eyes, and held the flowers in a standard posture, striving to capture their handsomeness and temperament as soldiers no matter from which angle their lives were taken.
Xu Yan felt that maybe he could take back his previous words. These two idiots might not have been making trouble because they were worried that he would be sad. They were just trying to get something for themselves.
The gravekeeper of the Martyrs Cemetery noticed three soldiers in navy uniforms from a distance. When the three men came closer and saw their military ranks, he was stunned for a moment, stood up, walked out the door and saluted the three men, "Hello, leaders."
Xu Yan and the other two immediately returned the gift.
Xu Yan greeted with a smile, "Hello, old squad leader."
Generally, the tomb-guarding officers at the martyrs' cemetery are retired veterans. Seeing this middle-aged man, who was a little fat but still strong, giving the standard dignified military salute with his eyes as tough as pine trees, not to mention the boring guarding day after day, he must be worthy of the title of old squad leader.
As the time for returning to the team was too tight, Xu Yan and the other two did not chat much with the old squad leader. They greeted him a few words and then quickly walked into the Martyrs' Cemetery.
The time for the entire trip is fixed, but in order to prevent late arrival, a lot of redundancy is left. However, Xu Yan has no habit of checking the time, and he is always the one who arrives early.
The tomb of Xu Yan’s comrades is located in a park at the foot of the mountain. It is only a few minutes’ walk after entering the gate.
The three of them placed the prepared flowers in front of the tombstone one by one, and then stood in the middle and saluted solemnly.
Fortunately, the sky, which had been gloomy before, suddenly brightened up. The warm winter sun shone down, making the three men's pure white uniforms seem to be glowing. A breeze blew their hair under the brims of their hats.
A long line of students was walking down from the top of the mountain. None of the lively and active junior high school students were making any noise or playing. As they walked, they looked at the names on the rows of tombstones.
Beneath every name lies a sleeping hero.
Many people saw three figures in pure white military uniforms from afar, and their eyes were unconsciously attracted by their figures.
The sun shone down from behind them, and their shadows, as straight as poplars, were cast right in front of them, connecting them with their comrades.
Light and shadow, life and death, can never be separated.
The same is true for comradeship, regardless of life or death.
The teachers stopped the team from moving forward and stood quietly in the distance. Many sentimental children were infected by the solemn atmosphere and unconsciously raised their hands to salute the three people.
Few of the children in the Young Pioneers saluted in the standard way, but each one was extremely sincere. In the end, everyone saluted and the teachers also saluted with their eyes.
A minute later, Xu Yan and the other two turned around and returned the greetings to the teachers and students. They put down their hands only after the children put down their hands at the teacher's signal.
These beautiful and solemn scenes were completely captured by the cameraman who was accompanying the team and filming the middle school students visiting the martyrs' cemetery.
But he was quite far away from the three soldiers, and because they deliberately pulled down the brims of their hats, the camera could not capture their faces clearly, so the cameraman subconsciously took a step in their direction.
The tallest soldier in the lead noticed his actions and raised his hand to stop him, waving at him and signaling him not to come closer.
The cameraman immediately stopped and stepped back to his original position to show that he understood.
Seeing this, Xu Yan turned around and smiled at the neat row of tombstones, "This cameraman is quite talented, don't you think?"
Of course the tombstone would not answer, so Xu Yan waited for a moment and then said, "I have not dared to come to see you in the past few years..."
Before Xu Yan could finish his words, a strong wind suddenly blew, and a pure white petal was carried past his eyes, leaving a moment of beauty, and then flew high into the sky, flying towards the sun that tore through the dark clouds.
Xu Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then looked up at the petals that were still flying high into the sky.
The cat's black pupils, which had been enlarged due to the backlight, suddenly looked directly at the sun and instantly shrank into a very thin vertical slit, leaving almost only the gray-blue pupils, which seemed to have merged into the small piece of blue sky between the dark clouds at this moment.
