The dark figure slowly approached, and under the illumination of the nearby light, the cheeks were revealed in front of people.
The other party was approaching from the front, and Mr. Geng happened to be able to see his appearance.
At this moment, his eyes were in disbelief as he glanced at the shadow man's face. He looked exactly like his squad leader!
"Class... monitor!!"
Yesterday, I even held the monitor's ashes.
Unexpectedly, I saw someone who looked almost exactly like him today.
Standing in front of him so vividly, the originally dark figure, accompanied by the light of the other party approaching the street entrance, loomed in front of Geng Lao. Even from a distance, he could easily see what he was wearing.
The old-fashioned military uniform had several large gashes burned by artillery fire. The tattered hole on his right arm seemed to have traces of bright red emerging from it.
As he approaches.
The faint fishy smell, mixed with the familiar smell of gunpowder, spread to Geng Lao's nose with the breeze.
My sense of smell, which has been somewhat impaired due to age, is so sharp at this moment.
The smell of gunpowder is still the same as before.
Mixed with the smell of blood, it goes into your head, it's very heady.
But it's also disgusting.
However, after those years of bombardment, Mr. Geng has long been accustomed to this level of taste, and even misses it a little.
At this moment, I smell this familiar smell.
Remembering deceased friends.
His eyes trembled slightly, and a trace of sourness rose to the tip of his nose.
Looking at the person who came, my eyes were groping for him with some disbelief, hoping to find something different from the squad leader back then, so that my illusion would be shattered.
That hat full of dust, stained by the waste of travel dust.
The shiny cap badge is the squad leader's favorite, and it is also the place where dust is the least visible. Whenever it is free, it must be wiped with the cuffs.
The lips were dry and peeling, and the face was livid from the cold. The environment on the battlefield was so harsh, with insufficient warm clothing and equipment. This was how everyone suffered back then.
Looking down, the torn clothes revealed several holes of different sizes.
Because he was faced with bombings from time to time and kept dodging, the clothes he was lying on were already gray and black, and the original color had been worn away and could not be seen clearly. There were only the black traces of artillery bombardment and the contamination of soil debris.
The cuffs are already pitch black. If you didn't know its original color, you might think it was a black combat uniform.
As for the pants, several holes had been burned by the fire, exposing the livid skin underneath.
Where are the shoes?
There were no shoes, only feet wrapped in turf stained with ice and snow.
The ankles had already been infected by the wind and snow, and were as stiff as one body. Ice and blood were mixed together, making it painfully swollen.
...
It's still the most familiar look and the most familiar bad situation.
Just like their own incomplete fingers, every soldier suffered from frostbite due to the extremely cold weather, and the squad leader was naturally one of them.
His eyes glanced at these familiar clothes.
A trace of redness rushed into Geng Lao's eyes, forcing tears to twine in his eyes and refused to go away.
For a moment, he was a little nervous.
Carrying the scene that I have seen every time I dream for decades.
Such a familiar figure was now standing in front of him, just like in a dream.
With trembling eyes, he raised his head and looked at the face of the visitor.
When you hesitate.
The visitor's mouth was already cracked, and his mouth was as cold as ice, and he slowly opened it:
"Geng Zhengyang!"
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
It's like the last string that tears the tear ducts apart!
Geng Lao's whole body trembled violently, he let go of the crutches in his hands, and tried to straighten his stooped body, using all his strength.
shouted at the top of his lungs:
"arrive!"
Tears burst out of my eyes instantly!
It crossed his grooved cheek, but it never faded away from his boyish and determined look.
Just as determined as before, his eyes are filled with light!
That is faith and hope!
Some dark figures seemed to be able to block the light.
Whether it was the distant lights that were inadvertently thrown over or the nearby neon lights, they all seemed to be blocked at this moment, cut off from his body.
No amount of light can illuminate this figure.
On the contrary, because of his appearance, the surrounding area seemed to be illuminated and became brighter.
"Monitor, monitor, is it...is it you?"
Geng Lao held back his tears, but tears still kept falling from his eyes.
The hoarse voice was trembling at this moment.
The emotions that have been suppressed for many years seem to be on the verge of exploding!
Monitor, this word has profound meaning to him.
Back then on the battlefield.
The squad leader is my best comrade-in-arms, my sworn brother, and the light that leads me forward!
Over the years, I have never lost my direction every day of my life.
That's because Geng Zhengyang knows that the life he has now is the result of the sacrifice of his comrades and their dedication regardless of fame and fortune. In such a beautiful era, he has no reason to retreat or complain at all.
Compared with the previous Dragon Kingdom, it is so great as it continues to forge ahead.
I can witness its strength step by step, and my comrades can witness the sufferings of the past hundred years.
His international status has changed from weak and bullied to respected. He deeply understands the difficulty of his motherland.
We understand even more clearly how many warriors like them are silently carrying the banner behind these scenes, raising the pillars and protecting the country!!
Maybe they have suffered some grievances and complained about their experiences, but if the red star shines, they will be there to escort them forward!
Over the years, he has paid special attention to the strength of the Dragon Kingdom, fearing that he might have missed something and not be able to explain it clearly to his brothers later.
The beautiful mountains and rivers that they once fought so hard to protect are now in such a prosperous world!

....
now,
The monitor figure that he had dreamed of countless times appeared in front of him as if in a dream.
"Geng Zhengyang!"
Seeing Geng Zhengyang standing in front of him crying, the monitor slowly opened his dry lips and shouted.
"arrive!"
hear the sound,
Geng Zhengyang still didn't hesitate and stepped forward to answer!
Use his most solemn, serious and full side to respond to the monitor's voice!
The people around who were still noisy looked at Geng Zhengyang with some doubts.
This strange figure is incompatible with its surroundings.
When he appeared, the huge guy beside him made a lot of noise.
Some people who were close were lucky enough to glimpse his face.
It's different from what they expected.
He is not an old man, but a relatively young man.
He was dressed like a soldier who had just experienced a war. His figure was strong, and even though he was wearing somewhat torn clothes, he still couldn't hide his resolute temperament.
Such a young man actually walked up to Geng Lao.
He called the old man’s name directly!
Originally, many people thought that this person was not polite and he actually called him by his first name!
In terms of age, he is many years younger than Mr. Geng. It doesn't matter if you don't address him respectfully, but you actually call him by his first name!
So rude.
But the next moment, they were severely shocked.
Because the old man, whose body had been bent by the years, had already thrown away the crutch in his hand, raised his chest as high as possible, and saluted the weather-beaten young soldier with tears in his eyes!
He even used his fullest state to respond to the call of the young soldiers!
"What's happening here?"
"I thought this young man was a fool, but I didn't expect the old man to respect him so much!"
"Even if you throw away your crutches, you still have to face him with the best attitude."
"I don't know what happened, but watching the old man salute the young soldiers, this scene made me burst into tears for no reason!"
"Why do I feel like my tears are uncontrollable... When the veteran arrived, I screamed so hard that my scalp went numb and I burst into tears."
"It's over. My phone seems to be broken. Why can't I take a picture of anyone?"
"I don't know what kind of story there is between the two, but this young man's identity is definitely more mysterious and respectable than this old man."
"Wait, what did you say?"
"Young man? Is he a young man? I didn't see his face."
"Well, I saw it. He looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, just coming of age."
"A child who has just grown up actually makes a veteran cry and salute him?"
"He's just a child, how could this happen!?"
"Why are you wearing this old-fashioned military uniform? Why are there traces of gunfire on your body? Why is that name so resolute and mature? Is this really just a child?"
"At his age, shouldn't he be studying hard in school? At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it's almost time to go to college. It's a turning point in life. College life is so wonderful... How can he appear here, still so weathered?
dress up?"
"Not sure."
"I don't know what kind of things this young man has gone through to make the veteran show such a respectful attitude and be so respectable!"
"It's like the light doesn't shine on him. I can't see his appearance clearly."
"But I can smell it, there is a strange smell."
"Well, it smells like gunpowder, but it's a little weird!"
"Because it smells like blood, mixed in!"
"Yes!"
...
Everyone's eyes looked curiously at the place where the two men stood looking at each other.
The young man who suddenly appeared on the scene had a somewhat surprising appearance.
But he didn't expect that when he walked towards the old man step by step, until he stood in front of the old man, the old man would be so at a loss, with such nervous and excited eyes, and such a tearful response!
The weather-beaten old-fashioned military uniforms were still hung with ice debris, exposing some frostbitten parts.
The ankles were even more swollen and mixed with ice and snow, as if they had been standing in the frost for a long time. The feet were like blood ice cubes, hard and ferocious.
It was shocking pain, but there was no expression of pain on the young man's face.
Some, just that firm look, facing an old man like Geng Zhengyang.
The attitude he showed was that of a big brother and the leader he respected the most.
Everyone watching this scene was a little confused.
Can't understand.
incredible.
Regardless of their age or status, they were unable to understand what was happening in front of them.
The young man's eyes always fell on Geng Zhengyang in front of him, with a touch of determination:
"Geng Zhengyang, are we holding our position?"
hear the sound,
Geng Zhengyang trembled and looked at him with tears in his eyes:
"Monitor, I...I..."
"I didn't keep it!"
With a crying voice, she spoke words of helplessness and sorrow.
The young man's face was startled, as if he was stunned by Geng Zhengyang's words.
See the situation.
Geng Zhengyang lowered his head guiltily and wiped away tears.
PS: Okay...why do you appear here, dressed in such a weather-beaten way?"
"Not sure."
"I don't know what kind of things this young man has gone through to make the veteran show such a respectful attitude and be so respectable!"
"It's like the light doesn't shine on him. I can't see his appearance clearly."
"But I can smell it, there is a strange smell."
"Well, it smells like gunpowder, but it's a little weird!"
"Because it smells like blood, mixed in!"
"Yes!"
