Chapter 190
Chilblain is almost a nightmare for the people at the outpost.Some people may think that Lin Yi is exaggerating, frostbite is not a disease, how could it be like a nightmare?

Lin Yi was not joking. The people in the outpost had more or less suffered from chilblain. Chilblain is a skin disease. When it itches, it is really itchy, and it still feels like itching and pain.

Even if you pick it, you can’t pick it. If you don’t pick it, it’s so itchy that you scratch your ears and scratch your cheeks. It’s okay in the outpost.

But if it itches on the way of patrolling, it will be a real pain. It’s minus [-] degrees, you can’t apply ointment, right? The pain is hardly a challenge for the soldiers at the outpost, let alone the pain of frostbite. Yes, even if it hurts ten times, everyone can still suffer.

But the itching doesn't work anymore, the feeling of itching and being unable to pick it makes people crazy.

Deputy squad leader Zhu didn't want frostbite on his calf, so he quickly waved his hands, "I won't fish anymore, I don't want to experience that itchy and painful feeling anymore. Platoon leader, you see that you have pressed me too, and now I There's nothing wrong with the leg, why don't I go and clean the tombstone."

Lin Yi nodded, "Let's go together."

Comrade Li's tombstone is not very big, [-] meters high and [-] centimeters wide. This kind of tombstone, in this kind of area, even the tombstones of the elderly who died in ordinary families are more magnificent than his tombstone.

But that's it, the tomb has been renovated, the original tombstone is smaller, and the tomb is even made of stones.

There is really no way, the road is too difficult to walk, and even this small tombstone has cost a lot of manpower.

But what makes Lin Yi feel very strange is that this tomb, which is obviously not very big, has a feeling that it can calm down here. Tombs have always guarded this land.

Lin Yi bowed deeply to the tomb three times, and then began to clear the snow. At this time, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu took out compressed dry food and white wine, and slowly placed them in front of Comrade Li's tombstone, "Senior, now our food Well, back then you ate corn tortillas that were harder than bricks, but now we all eat this kind of compressed dry food, even in winter, it doesn’t taste like teeth, and it’s still full of calories.”

Then he put the white wine on top, "Back then you relied on cow dung and some withered grass to keep warm. You can drink some of this white wine to warm your body. We don't need this anymore. We have electric heaters in the outpost now. With coal heating stoves and electric heating clothes, in this kind of weather, we are not only not cold, but also hot."

After Lin Yi cleaned up the snow surface, he put the thousand paper cranes and paper flowers on it. With the sound of firecrackers, Lin Yi shouted: "Salute."

A row of soldiers stood at attention and saluted. After the sound of firecrackers ended, Lin Yi shouted, "The ceremony is over."

After the people finished sweeping the tomb, they set foot on the road back, and then they continued to patrol.

But when everyone just set foot on the National Defense Highway, they saw a convoy of three military vehicles driving over.

Lin Yi immediately led people to the side. After the convoy stopped, the political commissar walked down first, followed by a group of school officers and lieutenants.

The political commissar looked at Lin Yi, "Have you paid homage?"

Lin Yi nodded, "The sacrifice has already been made."

"Do you still want to go with us again? You don't have much in the outpost. We have a lot of things here."

Lin Yi really wanted to go, because there were too few things in Class [-]. Apart from a piece of compressed biscuit, there was only one bottle of wine left. As for those paper cranes and paper flower bouquets, they were too monotonous. Such a Heroes, when sweeping the grave, it shouldn't be so simple.

But in the end Lin Yi shook his head, "Let's continue patrolling. There are too few things we can pay homage to him in the eighth class. We can only patrol this land firmly and pass on his spirit. Only in this way can we be worthy of this contribution made by a hero.”

The political commissar nodded, "Okay, then you continue to patrol. By the way, this road is not easy to walk. When you went to pay homage, did anyone fall and get injured?"

Lin Yi immediately replied: "This time, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu was the leader of the row. He fell eight times. I checked his body and found nothing serious. When I go back, I can apply some safflower oil on him and he will recover.

In addition, I have marked the place where you wrestled. When you pass by, as long as you see the mark clearly and walk carefully, you should be fine. "

When the political commissar heard that Deputy Squad Leader Zhu was fine after falling eight times, he felt relieved and nodded, "Better than me. When I first came to worship, I walked all the way and fell all the way. If it wasn't for the thick snow at that time, I guess My legs are about to break. Tell me, is it appropriate for our regiment to build a road leading to Comrade Li’s tomb?”

road?

Is it necessary for the political commissar to discuss such a major matter with himself?

Seeing Lin Yi's surprised eyes, the political commissar explained, "I just want to know your opinion. You don't have to think about anything else."

Lin Yi is of course willing to build a road for Comrade Li. He dedicated his life to guarding this land during his lifetime, and guarding the border after his death. Building a road for him is definitely not a waste.

But if you put aside the worship and talk about it rationally, Lin Yi does not agree with the cultivation. First of all, road construction is very expensive, especially the national defense highway, which is even more expensive.

In addition, this section is extremely difficult to repair. Even if it is repaired, it will be covered with snow all year round, which is not worthwhile at all.

In addition, Lin Yi has reconnaissance skills. He has already seen clearly that Comrade Li's tomb is not a strategic location. This place is just steep, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and has no strategic significance for building roads. Can't play much role.

Unless it can play an educational role.

But if it comes to education, it should not be done.

Although going to pay homage once can purify the soul, it is based on the fact that you have to walk through this extremely difficult road in person and realize how difficult the place he was patrolling and stationed at the beginning.

Only in this way can we deeply feel his greatness both physically and mentally.

And if the road is built, everyone can't feel his hardships, just take a car, get off the car and leave after paying homage, then the feeling will be really different.

"Political commissar, I don't recommend repairing it. I think the two kilometers of mountain road from National Defense Highway to Comrade Li's tomb is the beginning of learning his spirit. Without these two kilometers of mountain road, we will never fully understand his spirit."

Hearing this, the political commissar nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Deputy Head Kong, and said, "I'm right, if Lin Yi were to say it, he would definitely not agree. There is a difference in consideration of issues between an officer who has never been to an outpost and an officer who has never been to an outpost.”
