I really don't want to be a teacher

Looking at the young soldier and the military dog ​​again, Lian Ge moved his feet, stepped on the snow, and walked towards the front side of the snow with the soldier.

On the shoulder, the little white mouse also looked around at the young soldier and the military dog, then turned his head, and looked around in the distance.

Under the night, gusts of cold wind still whizzed the falling snow.

The snow seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Chapter 682 Two Old Houses, One Flagpole, Two Comrades

"...My fellow, where did you come from?"

Blown by the howling cold wind, in the densely falling snow, the young soldier led the way, talking to Lian Ge while walking.

Beside, the military dog ​​followed and ran.

"Sichuan and Shu provinces."

Walking forward with the soldier, Lian Ge listened to the voices mixed in the cold wind, responded, and looked at the scene along the way.

"...Sichuan and Shu Province, it's so far away... My family used to be on the top of Sichuan and Shu... My fellow, are you here to work?"

"Let's go out for a walk."

"...Well, then fellow, you must have been to many places. Have you ever been to the capital? In the past, I always wanted to go to the capital to see the national flag being raised. When I first joined the army, my squad leader I just went to see it, and always told us...that the scene of raising the national flag was very spectacular...that made me want to go and see it..."

The soldier walked forward, talking, looking at the snow in the distance, with some longing, anticipation, and longing in his eyes,

"It's pretty spectacular."

Lian Ge listened to the young soldier's voice, walked forward with the young soldier, looked into the distance, and answered aloud.

"……Really……"

Some yearningly, looking forward to the distance, the young soldier murmured,

"...It is said to be spectacular, so it must be very spectacular."

"...By the way, fellow, why did you come to this mountain? There are no people around here, just a vast expanse of snow..."

"... Today, when I was out on patrol, I ran into you fellow countryman... Although I don't need to patrol now, but I have nothing to do, so I still like it when the time comes, so I went out for a walk and met fellow countryman You... I'm sorry, fellow townsman, I haven't seen anyone in a long time, so I can't stop talking too much, I'm sorry."

"Since I've come out for a walk, I naturally listen to different people talking about different things, brother, you can just say it."

Lian Ge walked, listened, and answered again.

Hearing the sound, the young soldier raised his head again and looked into the distance.

"...The old man, let me tell you about our place... There are snow-capped mountains in the vicinity, and there are no people inhabited for a long, long distance. If you look around, there is nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness. But the first time I saw it, it should be quite spectacular. When I first came here, I also thought it was very spectacular..."

In the cold wind, mixed with the voices of young soldiers,

Lian Ge listened quietly, without saying anything, and walked forward with the young soldier.

……

"...My fellow countryman, we are almost there, and we have reached the place ahead."

After walking forward, the young soldier looked forward and said to Lian Ge.

Walking forward with the young soldier, Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at that place.

Under the dark snowy night, a light different from other places appeared in the distance,

The bright place is where the young soldier said.

Looking back, Lian Ge didn't say much, and walked forward with the young soldier.

……

"...It's here."

Walk along a hillside covered with thick snow to the top of a hillside.

The top of the hillside is also covered with snow, and there is a relatively flat place, barely a yard without walls.

Behind the yard are two old bungalows next to each other.

On the wall facing the courtyard, the corner of the wall is upward, and the snow in the courtyard has covered one third of the wall.

Some exposed, the wall plaster has been mottled, on the mottled wall plaster, there is still a line of slogan painted with red paint,

"...obey orders, strictly observe discipline...not afraid of sacrifice, loyal to duty..."

The color of the paint has faded a little, and it looks a little mottled, but it is still branded on the wall.

In front of the two houses and in the yard, there are still flagpoles, which can barely be regarded as flag raising platforms. On the flagpoles, the red national flag is still fluttering in the dark night sky and in the snow with gusts of cold wind.

Walking into the yard, next to the flagpole, the young soldier said to Lian Ge.

Glancing at the two rooms by the side of the yard, and then at the national flag fluttering beside him, he paused for a moment, and Lian Ge turned his gaze back without saying anything.

"... This is the room for cooking, and this is the room for living... It's snowing a little bit, and there's some snow accumulated..."

The young soldier was talking, and then led the way to the door of the middle room.

Struggling to shake the snow accumulated in front of the door, the young soldier opened the door a little,

"...Fellow townsman, go into the house first, to avoid the snow."

The young soldier turned his head again and said to Lian Ge,

"Thank you."

Glancing at the fluttering national flag next to him, Lian Ge turned his gaze away, thanked him, and followed the young soldier into the room.

"...You're welcome, you're welcome... There may be some dust in the room, fellow, please sit down first."

The young soldier entered the house first, then moved aside, and the military dog ​​followed and rushed in.

When Lian Ge walked into the house again, the young soldier worked hard to close the door again, keeping the snow out of the house.

Lian Ge walked into the room, glanced at the young soldier and the military dog, then turned his gaze to the room.

"...My fellow, there is no electricity and no lights on the mountain, it's kind of dark, you should just go down there, fellow."

The young soldier closed the door, walked over again, and said to Lian Ge with some embarrassment,

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge glanced at the young soldier, shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to look at the room,

There was no light in the room, and it looked a little dark.

It's just that under the eyes of the sky, other places are brighter.

The furnishings in the room are very simple. There are two beds against the walls on both sides.

One bed was covered with bunks, stacked with tofu cubes, and the other bed was empty, with a layer of brown mats.

Between the two beds, there is a table, and beside the table are two stools.

Past the table, near the inner wall, there is a bed at the end of the bed, and there are some thick quilts, which seems to be the place where the military dog ​​sleeps.

It's just that thick layers of ash accumulated on the two beds, the quilts on the floor, the table, the stool, and the floor.

"...I could still light candles in the past... Now I can only make do with candles... I'm sorry, fellow..."

"...My fellow, please sit down first."

The young soldier was a little embarrassed, and said to Lian Ge.

"Thank you."

Looking away, Lian Ge thanked him, reached out and dusted the stool, the dust on the stool slid down to the ground, and sat down.

"...Brother is here alone all the time?"

Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the young soldier again, and said something out loud.

Hearing the sound, the young soldier paused for a moment, then smiled and responded loudly,

"...In the past, there was a comrade-in-arms with me... Later he went down the mountain first, and I was on duty here first... It's not just me, there is another comrade-in-arms,"

As he spoke, the young soldier lowered his head, looked at the military dog ​​squatting at his feet, smiled,

"...The two of us, here."

As he spoke, the young soldier raised his head again, turned sideways, and looked outside the house.

"...The snow today is really heavy."

"... By the way, young man,"

The young soldier was talking, then turned his head, looked at Lian Ge, hesitated for a moment, then said,

"...Young man, you are not an ordinary person."

"...Ordinary people can't see me either."

Smiling, the young soldier said to Lian Ge.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge glanced at the young soldier and the military dog,

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge looked outside the room again.

Outside, it was still snowing heavily.

Chapter 683

"It's snowing so hard tonight..."

The cold wind rolled the snow, lightly hitting the already mottled, old door, blowing into the house through the gap in the door.

In the house, Lian Ge sat on the stool, watching, listening, looking at the distance outside the house, listening to the sound of the cold wind blowing the snow outside the house, the voice of the soldiers in the house, which seemed to be the same as that of the military dog. Gasping voice.

Beside the door, the young soldier asked Lian Ge what to say, and without waiting for Lian Ge to answer, he raised his head, looked out through the dusty glass on the top of the door, and said another sentence,

Standing on his feet, he turned around and walked back again. The military dog ​​squatting at his feet also got up after him and followed him.

"...My fellow, the dust in the house is a bit heavy. The quilt has been rotten for so long, and it can't be covered anymore. The door of the house is also a bit drafty. I'm sorry, fellow..."

Walking to the table, the young soldier stamped his feet and said to Lian Ge,

"It's enough to have a shelter from the snow."

Lian Ge heard the sound, turned his gaze, glanced at the young soldier, and responded.

"I'm really sorry... No one has been in this room for a long time."

Feeling a little embarrassed, the young soldier looked around the room and said again.

"Brother, sit down too."

Lian Ge shook his head slightly, and then spoke to the young soldier.

The young soldier nodded, stood up again, and sat down on another stool, and the military dog ​​squatted down beside him.

"Brother has been here?"

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge looked outside the house again,

Through the glass on the door, outside, under the night, dense snowflakes are still falling outside the eaves.

"...Yeah, it's been here all the time, for some time."

The young soldier first looked outside the house, then lowered his head, looked at the military dog ​​squatting next to him, the military dog ​​squatted beside him, seemed to be panting, looking in front of him and around.

"...It's been about 30 to [-] years... This place has not changed much for so many years. The place where I live is just on the top of a slope. I used to look down from this top, the bottom of the slope, the nearest place , In the distance, there is a vast expanse of whiteness, and it is still the same when looking at it now, except for the sky above the head, looking down, it is still a vast expanse of whiteness all the way to the horizon..."

As the young soldier spoke, he raised his head again, and looked out through the dusty and somewhat blurred glass on the top of the door,

Pausing again, the young soldier lowered his eyes again, and continued,

"...When I was young, my family was poor, and my mother pulled me up alone. I didn't study much. When I grew up, I couldn't find a good job, so I came to join the army."

"... When the recruits come down from the company and go to the various units to pick them up, my old battalion commander is not a good guy..."

While talking, the young soldier showed some smiles on his face, and said with a smile,

"...He used words to provoke us, saying that he only wanted the best soldiers in his place, and all the soldiers in his place were the best soldiers. I was only young at that time, young and energetic, and I was not convinced, so I left with him ...The camp, just a few tens of miles away, is not much different from this one. After leaving the camp, there is only one more road that can pass the car. Besides, there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. ... Then my old chief, the subject changed again, as if he changed his face... He said, coming here is to suffer, except that there is snow everywhere for you to eat, and there is cold wind for you to suck, nothing else... When he fooled people to come here, he didn't say that... At that time, he was in the right place, and although he felt that the old chief was really not a good guy, he couldn't be a deserter..."

"...When I first came here, I saw that there was snow everywhere, a vast expanse of white everywhere, and a thick layer of snow everywhere, and I thought it was quite spectacular. Especially the ones who came to the top to be on duty At that time, except for this house, looking over the mountains and plains, no human habitation, no trees, no grass, everywhere is the same color, except for the thick layer of snow on the ground, there is nothing... just look at it for a few more days , I feel bored again, because I can’t see anything except snow, and it’s hard to hear even a bird’s cry except for the sound of wind blowing... However, after a long time, it seems that some Can't do without, you say it's strange..."
