I really don't want to be a teacher

As he spoke, the young soldier raised his head again and looked outside the house. Looking at it, a smile appeared on his face first, followed by a little ecstasy.

"...my mother is weak. After I grew up, I was only in the second year of serving in the army, and she left. After my mother left, I felt that I had no other place to go, so I stayed in the In the barracks."

Looking outside the house, the young soldier was in a daze, and then continued,

"...In the camp tens of miles away, in the first year, I didn't come up here to be on duty. I heard from veterans that coming up here for a month is about the same as being in confinement for a month."

"...In the second year, I followed a veteran, my squad leader, and came here to be on duty for a month... When I first came here, I saw how beautiful it was, and thought, how can this be in confinement It can be the same, this place is so wide, when you are free, you can still walk around here...

... Then only a day or two later, I started to turn over the calendar and start counting the days. I wish I didn't have free time every day. When I was free, the monitor and I would find something to do and talk at the same time. When I was young, I said, what Talk about it, talk about the seven aunts and eight aunts, and then the two of them repeated it...

... At the end of the day, I really couldn't talk anymore, and the two of them stopped talking... Every few hours, I can't wait to look through the calendar to see why today hasn't passed, and wait until the next morning. When I got up, I went to draw a circle on the calendar and make a mark. Finally, another day passed... On the day when I was going to come down from the mountain, as soon as I finished my work in the morning, I started to sit at the door and wait, and I went to drive after a while. door, looked down the hillside to see if someone was coming to change shifts, then saw no one was coming, then sat back, and after sitting for a few minutes, stood up again, looked outside the house, to see why he hadn't come up yet... When I go down here, I want to talk to someone when I see someone... Standing at the gate of the camp, seeing a car coming on that road, I find it interesting..."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the young soldier's face, followed by the smile faded away, and he lowered his gaze a little, and then continued,

"...Then in the blink of an eye, it's been so long. Slowly, it seems that I can't leave again. I didn't go down the mountain any more, and I just stayed here."

"...every morning, when it's dawn, the national flag is hoisted, and then we go out for exercises and training. He also stays with me, the two of us together."

As he spoke, the young soldier lowered his head again, looked at the military dog ​​next to him,

The military dog ​​seemed to hear him talking, stood up, raised his head, looked at the young soldier, rubbed his head against the young soldier's shoes,

"...Then, we will go out to patrol three times a day, once at noon, again in the afternoon, and again at night. It's actually pretty good... We couldn't go out to patrol before when it was snowing so hard, but now we can Go out...Although we don't need to guard the area now, but I still want to follow the patrol area and take a look... After all, I am still on duty at this outpost, so I always have to take a look..."

Chapter 684 An Embarrassed Smile

"...I'm sorry, fellow. I haven't seen anyone in a long time, and I can't stop talking about it."

In the house, the cold wind is still blowing into the house through the gap by the door.

As the young soldier was talking, he turned his head, first stroked the military dog ​​squatting next to him, then turned his head, and said to Lian Ge with some embarrassment.

Lian Ge heard the sound, turned his gaze, and shook his head slightly,

"Brother says it's fine."

Hearing this, the young soldier smiled.

Glancing at the young soldier again, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and looked outside the house.

"Brother, do you still remember, how did you..."

"... fellow...Little brother, you want to ask me how I died, there is nothing you can't say."

The young soldier took the words, responded with a smile, and followed closely, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"... When I went to the bottom of the mountain, I was in the camp dozens of miles away. In the eighth year, I was also a veteran and became a squad leader. After I came back, I came up every year. I gradually seemed to be getting used to it. It was also winter that year, and it was our class’s turn to be on duty at this sentry point. There happened to be a second-year recruit in our class. It was his first time coming up. I was his squad leader, so I went up with him. ..."

While speaking, the young soldier raised his head again, looked out of the house through the blurred glass, was a little lost in thought, paused, and continued,

"... At the beginning, I looked at him, and he was just like me. He was very happy and excited when he saw the mountains and plains covered with snow everywhere... and then when the excitement passed, he disappeared... …It snowed very hard that year. It seemed to be much heavier than when I came up a few years ago. After his excitement passed, it happened to be snowing. We could only stay in this room and couldn’t go out. I can't go out to patrol, and I can't do other things... It snowed for several days, and I didn't see Xiao Xiao for a few days, as if it was endless. We can only stay in this house every day, Watching the snow fall outside this house every day..."

"...that recruit, he is a very boring person. When he was in the camp below, he didn't like to talk very much. After he came up, he brought a few books and read them there. It was okay when he was excited at first, but later After being trapped in this room by the heavy snow for a few days, I can see that his mood is slowly getting a little bit wrong... At this moment, other people can't wait for the two of them to talk all the time, talking nonsense... He didn't like it very much. When I talked to him, he stopped talking. When I talked to him, his reaction seemed to be a beat slower, and he didn't turn over the books he brought. Lost... When the heavy snow fell for a few days later, I was fine. I have been up a few times, and I already have some experience, but looking at him, his mood is getting more and more out of order. When I talk to him, he sometimes No response, just sitting there in a daze... Sometimes when I wake up the next day, I can see him sitting there in a daze... I tried to do what the psychiatrist in the camp said for him. After psychological resolution and finding it was useless, I hurriedly took advantage of the slightly lighter snow to contact the camp and have someone pick him up."

"...Not long after he went down, the snow started to fall heavily again. Only him and I were left up here, that is, Xiaohu. Xiaohu is also a recruit. He came back to this outpost."

As he spoke, the young soldier lowered his head and looked at the military dog ​​next to him. The military dog ​​also raised his head, looked at him, and then rubbed his trouser legs.

"...After the recruit in my class went down, I thought that there would be less than ten days left until the end of this duty, and I had come up a few times, so I felt that I was getting used to it. Well, it’s okay to stand alone on the top, so I called back to the camp and told the people below that there is no need to send people up. I will stay alone for a month. After completing the task, I will send people over to take over normally. .”

"...It was my old chief who answered the phone. When he heard what I said, he just said that I was bullshitting... He would send someone to come up again, and asked me to call the bottom every day. If I want to talk, just call me Drag a soldier over and stand in front of the phone to talk with me."

As he spoke, the young soldier raised his head, looked outside the house again, with a smile on his face,

"...However, after the recruit in my class went down, the snow fell more heavily than before. Not only could I not get out of this gate, but even the mountain was blocked by a few days of blizzard... With such a heavy snowfall, it is difficult to It's easy to get lost in the snow...it can only take a few days to send people up..."

"...I just stayed in this room with Xiaohu. Every day, Xiaohu wandered around in this room, raised his head, and yelled a few times outside the window. I would fuck in this room, and then Sing, sing the national anthem, tell Xiaohu about my childhood, about my relatives, about my comrades in arms..."

"...On the second day, the phone between me and Shan Boxia was cut off...Maybe it's snowing outside, which affected somewhere, the phone malfunctioned, and I lost contact with Shan Boxia..."

"...Then, I continued to walk around in this room, watching the snow falling outside the window, and then repeated the song over and over again, and then told stories to Xiaohu, and told stories to myself. Tell yourself... Xiaohu is going back and forth in this room, turning back and forth..."

"...Then, after two or three days, or longer... that night, it was still snowing, and it was snowing heavily, and the snowflakes kept falling to the ground, and the snow on the ground was piled up layer after layer... I pushed open the door, went to the next door, wanted to go to the next kitchen, got the matches... the candles in the room went out... I just opened the door, at this moment, Xiaohu ran out of the house like crazy , ran into the snow... and quickly disappeared..."

"...I quickly followed and ran out...to chase him, shouting while chasing...then everything was white except for the pitch black night, I walked in the snow for a long time, I couldn't find Xiaohu... Then slowly, I felt more and more cold... Then when I realized, I was lost in the snow when I realized it... And then, when I woke up again , and it became what it is now. My corpse is right next to me, and Xiaohu is also guarding beside me, circling around me..."

The young soldier was talking, then lowered his head, looked at the military dog,

The military dog ​​seemed to understand the young soldier's words, and whispered in his mouth, looked at the young soldier, then rubbed the young soldier's trouser legs,

"...It's okay, I don't blame you, you were also a recruit at that time, I patronized myself to adjust my psychology, and if I forgot to give it to you, it would also affect you..."

While talking, the young soldier reached out and scratched the fur on the dog's neck, smiled, then raised his head, looked into the room, and then looked out of the room,

"...Then, I took Xiaohu back here, and then I was on duty at this sentry point... Later, the location of this sentry point was moved, and this sentry point was abandoned, but it was kept, and it was not demolished... It seems Leave it to me and Xiaohu..."

"...We've been here all the time, maybe we can't let it go, we want to help take a look, patrol, and guard this place."

As he spoke, the young soldier seemed a little embarrassed, with a smile on his face.

Chapter 685 The Invisible Town

"...In the past, I felt bored looking at this place. Except for two rooms and a flagpole, there was only snow outside. What was in the two rooms, and every trace on the wall could be counted with closed eyes. At the top, I can’t wait to think about it all the time... After a long time, I can’t leave here anymore, I can’t let go..."

"...Then it seemed like a blink of an eye, it's been so long... I haven't gone down again... I still have to stay here."

Outside the house, the cold wind howled, rolled the snow falling from the night, and rushed against the old door.

Through the gap in the door, some cold wind penetrated.

In the room, sitting on a stool, the young soldier's eyes were still stained with frost, and his lips were still blue from the cold, smiling a little embarrassedly, and said,

Beside him, the military dog ​​Xiaohu stood up and leaned against the young soldier, panting.

The young soldier stroked the fur on the dog's neck again, then turned his head, raised his head, and seemed to be looking at the distance outside the house through the somewhat blurred glass on the door.

"...Outside the house, a little further ahead is the national border. Behind you, go down the mountain, and you can see the camp tens of miles away. If you go out of the camp, you can see people's houses after a few tens of miles."

Looking outside the house, the young soldier's eyes were lost for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued,

"...after seeing people, and walking a long, long distance, there is a small town... When I was still in the camp, I went out once with my old company commander... When my mother passed away, I When I go back, I pass by there once... The town is very lively. Every morning, there will be many fellow villagers from nearby, who go there to go to the market. Buy clothes for the children... In the market, there are vendors who sell vegetables, or they put the burden on the side of the road, or spread a plastic bag on the ground, and there are vendors who sell breakfast, right at the door of the shop. There are a few steamers, steaming the buns, some soy milk is still hot next to the steamed buns, and the steam is rising from the steamer... There are clothes sellers, take the clothes, and tell the customers who come into the store... There are cooking cakes, they are baking Cooking cakes, while greeting the guests... The children who followed the adults saw the seller of cooking cakes, carrying a stick tied with straw, with candied haws stuck on the straw, and the seller of candied haws pulled the sleeves of the adults, Clothes, if you want, adults can’t hold him back, so buy them for him, and tell him to eat carefully, don’t drip oil or sugar on his body... Then when the adults finished buying what they wanted to buy, they took a bite of it Candy, the child with a mouthful of oil comes home... When the adults are busy cooking, the children either hang around next to them, or run around in the yard to play. Walking out the door, yelling at the child... It's like my mother is still there, when I was young..."

"...Although I can't see that small town, nor can I see the people in that small town, and I can't even see the camp that is only a few dozen miles away at the bottom of the mountain, but I know they are there, right there Across the two houses and a flagpole, the mountains are covered with snow."

The young soldier said, showing some smiles on his face, smiling, looking outside the house, saying,

Listening to the young soldier's narration, Lian Ge turned his eyes, looked at the young soldier again, saw the smile on the young soldier's face stained with frost, and beside the young soldier, he seemed to feel that the young soldier was happy, Also wagging its tail and panting, the happy military dog ​​Xiaohu.

Pausing his gaze, without saying anything, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, raised his head slightly, and then looked outside the house.

Outside the house, the cold wind was still howling, and the rolled, dense snowflakes were still falling, falling on the white snow under the night.

"Brother, do you know where the bodies of me and Xiaohu are? My brother borrowed me a place to shelter from the snow. I will also help you to bury your body. Just thank you for lending me a place to hide from the snow."

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the young soldier again, and said aloud,

"...I know, it's not far from here. But don't worry, it's already been buried under the snow. Looking around here, there's snow everywhere, so it's safe to be buried in the ground, right? .”

Hearing the sound, the young soldier first lowered his head, looked at the military dog ​​beside him, reached out and scratched the fur on the dog's neck, then raised his head, shook his head with a smile, and said aloud,

"Maybe in a few tens or hundreds of years, my corpse won't be broken. When someone digs it up, you can still see my appearance..."

The young soldier smiled and spoke aloud.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, and looked at the young soldier again, seeing the smile on the young soldier's frosty face, and the happy appearance of the military dog ​​wagging its tail that was also covered in snow.

Standing up again, Lian Ge raised his hand, driving mana, and waved lightly at the young soldier and the military dog,

Immediately afterwards, the young soldier was covered in clothes, and the snow stained from the clothes, the felt hat, the body, fell to the ground, turned into a cloudy air and dissipated, and the face, eyebrows and eyes were covered with a layer of frost. Melting and fading away, the lips and face that seemed to be black and blue from the cold also returned to some ordinary people's appearance.

Next to the young soldier, the military dog ​​Xiaohu, the snow and frost on his body and head are also melting, sliding, and disappearing.

"...Thank you, thank you, fellow..."

Feeling the changes in his body, the young soldier stood up immediately, first looked down at the changes in his soul and body, then raised his head, grateful, and said to Lian Ge,

"...I feel warmer all over, not as cold as before...Thank you, thank you..."

Grateful, the young soldier said to Lian Ge again,

Next to him, the military dog ​​also wagged its tail at Lian Ge, circling around more happily,

"Take it as a thank you, brother, for lending me a place to shelter from the snow."

Lian Ge shook his head slightly, turned his gaze to the outside of the room, and sat down on the stool again.

"……thanks."

Solemnly, the young soldier thanked Lian Ge again, and then sat down on the stool next to him again.

"... fellow countryman, can you, can you tell me again, the scene of raising the national flag in the capital..."

Sitting again, the young soldier turned around again, hesitated, and asked Lian Ge aloud,

Glancing outside the room, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, nodded,

After a pause, Lian Ge stretched out his hand, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a video of the capital raising the national flag, opened it, and put it on the table.

"……what is this?"

A little curious, the young soldier looked at his phone and asked.

"Brother, just think of him as a smaller TV."

"... Can TVs be this small now... and the colors..."

The young soldier was a little curious, looking at the phone and talking, followed by his voice gradually stopped, his eyes stopped on the video screen, staring at it obsessively,

The national anthem rang from the phone,

Beside him, the military dog ​​Xiaohu squatted, raised his head, remained motionless, and looked in the direction of the national flag outside the house.

"...It's really spectacular..."

Mumbling, the young soldier spoke aloud, talking intently.

"...Can I watch it again?"

After reading it, the young soldier was a little embarrassed, raised his head, and said to Lian Ge again.

Lian Ge nodded, and then pressed replay,

The young soldier was immersed in the video again.

……

"Brother, if you want to talk to someone in the future, you can walk a little further south along the border. According to my brother, it shouldn't take much time. On the border of southern Jiangxi, in the jungle, there are some people who are similar to my brother."

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge looked outside the room again and said something out loud.

"Thank you."

After solemnly expressing his thanks, the young soldier lowered his head again and looked at the picture on the phone when the national flag was raised in the capital.

In the room, young soldiers watched the picture of raising the national flag in the capital over and over again, and the national anthem was played over and over again in the room.

Outside, it was still snowing heavily.

Chapter 686

"...huh...huh..."

In the early morning, the cold wind outside the house was still howling, piercing into the house through the gap in the door.

The blizzard that had fallen all night had stopped, adding another layer of snow to the place where the thick layer of snow had accumulated.

The rising sun climbed up, drilled out of the clouds, swayed on the snow, reflected, and also reflected into the house through the gap in the door.

Opening his eyes again, Lian Ge woke up from his sleep, listening to the sound of the cold wind outside the house, mixed with the national anthem that seemed to be sung by the young soldier,

Lian Ge got up from the empty bed where he was sitting cross-legged, and walked to the door. Next to him, the little white mouse curled up next to Lian Ge's legs jumped up and jumped onto Lian Ge's shoulder.

Lian Ge raised his head slightly and looked at the national flag that was rising little by little facing the outside of the door through the dusty glass of the door. The national anthem sung by the young soldier.

"... After the ceremony!"
