Gao Yuan found a stone with no moisture and sat down. He took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and then threw it towards Wang Feng.
He also lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then lay down on his back in the grass.
The night in southern Xinjiang is so peaceful...
Blue-white smoke hovered above their heads, rising and slowly disappearing without a trace.
Wang Feng put the cigarette he had taken a few puffs into the soil in front of him.
"Besides you, Huizi and Yongqiang are my strongest brothers." The two martyrs who died joined the army a little later than Wang Feng. Because they were fellow villagers, they always had endless topics in common.
Gao Yuan listened quietly.
"Huizi loves to sing, and Yongqiang loves to talk about guitar. They like to get together for concerts. I still remember the song they sang on my birthday..." Wang Feng's voice had a thick nasal sound.
, humming softly to the moonlight..
"The branches on the treetops are full of phoenix flowers. Did you know that growth comes at a price? The wind and rain are beating, and I can't worry. How can last year's buds be flawless... My dear friend, the years spent with you make me happy.
My memories are very unrestrained... The four seasons are changing, autumn and winter turn to spring and summer. I ask you... do you know... When I was young..."
The choked singing echoed in the deep and humid jungle.
Real soldiers must endure glory, sacrifice, loneliness, misunderstanding and injustice, but what they return to the motherland is always loyalty, extremely ordinary but noble loyalty...
After coming down from the high ground, Wang Feng's mood became much calmer.
In front of their dormitory, a tall figure stood. Hearing the sound of military boots, the man turned around...
Gao Yuan and Wang Feng were startled, then stopped and saluted the man in unison.
"team leader!"
Gong Liangjun responded with a military salute and waved his hands, indicating that they should not be too formal.
As soon as he got off the train, he heard about the sacrifice of the special team members, and his mood suddenly became very heavy. After returning to the base, and meeting with the captain and political commissar of the corps, he felt that it was necessary to visit the dormitories of the officers and soldiers.
By the way, bring him the package that my daughter brought to the plateau.
Wang Feng saw that the vice-captain still had something to do with Gao Yuan, so he went back to the dormitory first.
Gong Liangjun took a dark object from the window sill and handed it over, "Xiaoxue gave it to you."
Gao Yuan couldn't react for a while. He didn't reach out to take it, but pointed to his nose and asked uncertainly: "Xiaoxue? For me?"
Gong Liangjun nodded with a smile and threw the package to him, "First of all, her mother and I didn't take a peek. I don't know what was stuffed in it, but she even wanted to hide it from me!"
Under Gong Liangjun's gaze, Gao Yuan felt a little guilty for no reason, "How about I open it now!" After saying that, he was about to tear open the package, but was stopped by Gong Liangjun.
"Okay, I don't want Xiaoxue to come back and talk about me!" He squeezed Gao Yuan's shoulders, which were as hard as iron, and pretended to be angry and cursed: "Hurry up and get in! You bastard!"
Gao Yuan heyed twice, saluted Gong Liangjun, and ran into the dormitory in a few steps.
Wang Feng was preparing toiletries. When he came back, he put Gao Yuan's toothpaste on them as well.
Wang Feng glanced at Gao Yuan and the extra things in his hand, and asked casually: "Captain Gong brought you a gift!"
Gao Yuan raised the package and said with a smile: "Wrong! It's not Captain Gong! It's Xiaoxue!"
