Chapter 84 The place where the soul returns is my hometown (1)
Under the freezing weather, the herdsmen saluted the red flag.
For every herdsman guarding the border, guarding the border means guarding the home. Only when there are people around does the home look good.
Seeing the national flag made them feel at ease.
Therefore, for decades, red flags often flew in this borderland.
Kong Yuanzhou's somewhat illusory figure once again cast awe-inspiring eyes at the red flag.
After the flag-raising ceremony, all herdsmen began their daily grazing.
Watching each of his companions ignore him, leave from the side, and go to their respective grazing spots to patrol.
Kong Yuanzhou's face covered with blue frost showed a somewhat moved expression.
Yes
He can no longer contact normal people. He has become a soul. Now he can only stay with them in this way.
There is not even much time left for this.
He could feel that his consciousness was slowly being forcibly pulled away by a force, just like the passage of time, which was irreversible.
His wife Chang Ying was also standing in the crowd at this moment. She came back specially for the flag-raising ceremony.
She is so strong, and she smiles when others care about her.
After everyone left, she had to go back to the hospital to prepare for her own funeral.
"Chang Ying~"
Kong Yuanzhou slowly floated in front of her, looking at her simple, weathered face, he couldn't help but raise his hand to brush her cheek.
The palm passed directly through her body and could not be touched.
As for her own murmur, she couldn't hear it either.
After everyone else left, Chang Ying packed up her belongings and prepared to ride a motorcycle to the hospital to take care of Kong Yuanzhou's funeral arrangements.
The high sun shines through the clouds and shines on this cold sky and earth, like a decoration.
It is difficult to bring a trace of warmth.
Chang Ying took out Kong Yuanzhou's clothes in the room. It was his favorite military uniform. It had been kept in the box since he retired. He would only wear it once in a while when attending border defense meetings.
Looking at the clothes in her hands, she could recall Kong Yuanzhou's heroic appearance when he put on this military uniform.
The smile that had always been on Chang Ying's face suddenly slowly faded away.
My mood seemed to have dropped a lot instantly.
She quickly folded the clothes with a solemn expression and put them on the motorcycle. Looking at the folded clothes in her hands, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Woohoo!
Low and sad sobs swept through the cold wind,
There was no one around, and her grief finally broke out at this moment.
He squeezed the military uniform with both hands, as if he was squeezing the flesh-and-blood Kong Yuanzhou, as if he hadn't left yet, but stood in front of him with a resolute look on his face, vowing to grow old together with him and vowing to guard the border.
Weiguo....
Tears kept falling from her eyes.
It crossed the wind-covered cheek and fell to the ground.
"sorry!"
Kong Yuanzhou's voice was a little trembling, and as soon as he left his mouth, he was swept away by the cold wind and disappeared.
She can't hear her own voice!
Looking at the always strong wife in front of me, I suppressed the grief in my heart and cried quietly in a place where no one was around.
How can one feel so distressed in his heart?
Back then, she was also a beautiful girl with flawlessly fair skin.
She is such a wonderful woman. No one thought that she would resolutely follow him and take root near the 80-kilometer border, guarding the border of the Dragon Kingdom and their love together for decades.
She had long since lost her fair face due to heavy rain and wind, and her skin had become dry and rough, but she never wavered in her firm thoughts and stayed by her side without any regrets.
Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my promise.
I can't stay with her until she grows old.
He passed away early now.
...
Plateau Hospital.
When Chang Ying returned to the hospital, she found a man in the corridor.
Without paying too much attention, she walked towards the ward, preparing to put on Kong Yuanzhou's military uniform.
There are still many people coming to see Kong Yuanzhou's condition these days. Some are personnel from border security agencies, and some are people who come spontaneously. After they saw Kong Yuanzhou's condition on the Internet, they came here specially to bring some to Chang Ying and her children.
Subsidy and help, and by the way, send off this hero who protects the border!
Kong Yuanzhou has been following Chang Ying, and the obsession that remains in his consciousness is his wife and children, raising the flag, and the boundary monument standing in the sacred area.
Floating in mid-air, he observed a man wearing a black hat and a black suit among the crowd.
Everyone else's eyes followed Chang Ying, but he looked straight at himself!
In the midst of doubt,
The man standing in the crowd spoke in a deep voice:
"Kong Yuanzhou!"
The voice is vigorous and powerful, as if it has an inexplicable attraction.
Kong Yuanzhou's illusive body trembled, and he immediately responded subconsciously:
"arrive!"
As the sound fell, he felt like the world was spinning.
Everything around me seemed to be spinning wildly.
A warm and nourishing feeling enveloped me. When I looked around again, I found that I was no longer in the hospital.
There is a vast expanse of white all around.
There was a bronze door in front of him. He slowly pushed the door open and his whole image began to change crazily.
After he walked through the door, his appearance returned to that of a child several years old.
He was pulled by a warm hand and knelt beside the hospital bed. He looked up at the figure on the hospital bed, it was his uncle.
It was his father who was pulling him.
In order to support the liberation battlefield, my uncle actively encouraged all the herdsmen to gather more than 30 cattle to transport supplies to the battlefield.
The whole village was transported together and drove the cattle to the front line, making a total of five or six trips back and forth.
At first, food was transported, and later bullets and other supplies were delivered.
It is said that it was with the support of the herdsmen that the battle was won with great difficulty!
Later, the uncle fell ill and couldn't afford it. Before leaving, he called himself and his father to the bedside.
This is exactly the scene in front of us now.
The uncle was lying on the hospital bed, his hoarse voice sounded like he was using his last strength:
"The land we have guarded for generations cannot be lost. After I leave, you must take Yuanzhou with you to guard it!"
My father kept nodding his head.
He was one of the first border herders on this plateau.
"Uncle!"
The tearful scene reappeared before his eyes. Kong Yuanzhou's eyes were red and he wanted to hold his uncle's hand again.
At this time, another voice sounded from the side:
"Kong Yuanzhou!"
"arrive!"
He was shocked and responded decisively!
The surrounding scenery changes again!
....
The cold breath came suddenly.
Bang!
The roar exploded in my ears!
The smell of blood mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder assaulted your nostrils and was nauseating.
He looked like a young man just after he retired, and he was lying on a piece of frozen soil!
Everything familiar quickly reappeared in my mind.
He quickly looked aside, and sure enough, it was the captain!
Next to him, a soldier guarding the border covered in blood lay on the ground, as if he had been hit hard.
He grinned, and blood spilled from between his teeth:
