"Name."

"Dragon article."

"age."

Die La Die La hesitated for a moment and moved uneasily, "He was born in the 34th year of Guangxu's reign."

"Where did you grow up?"

"I was in Hebei when I was one, in Henan when I was two, and I went to Shanxi when I was four. I remember the saltpeter lake in Yuncheng, which was completely white, and Guan Yunchang's former residence. I went to Suiyuan when I was six." The counting looks really innocent, but this innocence really looks like provocation in this place, "Following my family, I was in Kangzang during the war between Outer Mongolia, Gansu, XJ, and Anhui, and then moved eastward, and later Sichuan and Shaanxi , Hubei, Anhui, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, the battle in the Central Plains of Jiangsu brought with it the unrest in Jiangsu, and turned south, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hunan, and the Yellow Crane was gone never to return."

"Where did you learn to fight?"

"Many people died!"

"I've seen a lot of dead people!"

"Those who died are all our people."

"Many, many people died, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many. We have been watching, and it hurts in my heart. It hurts all the time."

……

Lin Youcheng was sitting at his desk writing about this man who had seen ghosts and could talk to ghosts. It should be said that he wrote not only this dragon article called dead, dead, but also a group of people, or a group of cannon fodder.

After school started, Luobotou, who was supposed to go to school, naturally went to school, while Jiang Xiulian helped take care of the younger ones.

It was very quiet inside the room. Lin Youcheng was writing the story of that group of cannon fodder. It was very quiet and there was no sound.

What he is writing now is the classic anti-Japanese war story "My Commander, My Regiment". A group of defeated soldiers gathered in a shelter in the southwest town of Zenda. This group of cannon fodder has been completely destroyed by the gradual decline of the country in the past few years. He has no fighting spirit and just wants to live an ignoble existence.

Those cannon fodders are living their lives, unwilling to face the dream they have in their hearts, which is to fight the islanders again and defeat the islanders like real soldiers. They live like zombies. The suffering of the war and physical injuries made them live a life of despair. They hated each other and depended on each other. Not starving to death or dying of illness became their highest goal for daily survival. In order to survive in the harsh war environment, they had no choice but to abandon their grudges, prejudices, narrow-mindedness and unite to form a small team.

Division Commander Yu Xiaoqing wants to rebuild the Sichuan Army. But what really ignited the fighting spirit of this group of people was Long Wenwen, who laughed and cursed, and did not hesitate to deceive and abduct. Long Wenwen let them know that living people are responsible for the dead. But they knew from the beginning that their fate was the fate of cannon fodder, and the fate of their regiment was the fate of the cannon fodder regiment.

No one will take this group of cannon fodder seriously when they are alive, and no one will remember them after they die.

Yes, because they are just cannon fodder.

However, even so, they realized the righteousness of national survival in the real predicament, so they devoted themselves without hesitation to the just struggle to fight against the invaders, defend their homeland, defend their dignity, and sacrifice their lives for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, using their flesh and blood. He wrote tragic war hymns of iron-blooded defense of the country, and still began a world-shaking, ghost-weeping death battle that has deeply imprinted the cannon fodder regiment on the long axis of history.

Lin Youcheng knew very clearly that the location of Zenda did not exist, and the battlefield of the Battle of Zenda Nantianmen did not exist, but there were prototype battlefields and wars in the history of that period.

In fact, in Lin Youcheng's view, Long Wenwen in "My Leader, My Group" is a mysterious person, like someone who suddenly jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. He can even be said to be a liar. He has nothing. , the clothes were stolen, the military rank was stolen, even the name was stolen, and only the flesh and blood on the body was given by the parents.

Long Wenwen's life experience has been ups and downs, and he has been wandering around. He can speak various dialects, including Manchu, which the Manchus themselves are not very good at speaking. Although he looks like a man without a home, he seems to have homes everywhere.

He has traveled too many places. Everywhere he walked was his home, and he was a descendant of spiritualists.

Lin Youcheng felt that Long Wenwen, the swashbuckling spiritualist, actually represented a Chinese, an abstract yet concrete Chinese. He did not belong to any province, and he had countless place names on him.

Even though he is a mysterious character, he actually exists in "Amazing World".

In the passage that appeared in "The Strange Things in the World", no readers paid special attention to the story between Lynch and the spiritualist, because it was just a chance encounter in Lynch's life. Even though the two had been comrades-in-arms, they did not A lot of traffic.

Both men carry a mystery.

But there is a difference between mystery and enigma.

Lin Youcheng stopped writing and looked through the "Wonderful Things in the World" in that issue of "People's Literature" again, and saw the real Lieutenant Liku who was in charge of insoles and socks.

In "Amazing World", the quartermaster lieutenant who was in charge of insoles and socks was a comrade-in-arms with Lynch. It was when Lynch joined the army——

"Lynch looked at the lieutenant in charge of insoles and socks with suspicion, and asked curiously: "Do you really know how to summon spirits and can talk to ghosts? "

"Is it the kind of thing where a child has a cold and a fever, and the old woman takes a basin and knocks it out to scream? Or is it the kind where a copper coin cries for a moment?"

The lieutenant looked a little embarrassed and said: "It's not that simple. People have their own land, and their souls return home. My family specializes in calling the souls of the dead and inviting the dead to return home. In peaceful and prosperous times, few people die, but they still die. It’s hard for my family to live in our own land. In the autumn of war, many people die, but if you are homeless and have no one to hire you to call them after they die, it’s even harder for us to live. We just keep walking and calling.”

"Then why did you join the army again?"

"There was a plague in Ningxia, and both my parents died. My mother told me that I couldn't do this business. I had no soul. I was too angry. I couldn't let the dead return home, and I had to disturb them. peaceful."

Lynch was naturally very curious and wanted the lieutenant to show him how to summon spirits, but he didn't want to bring it up.

The lieutenant glanced at Lin Qi, and seemed to have guessed what Lin Qi was thinking, and said: "We don't do this in the army. It not only disturbs people to death, but also disturbs people alive."

"But, I told you——"

The lieutenant said meaningfully: "I have gone to more places and met more people. In fact, when I first saw you, I was wondering if you were possessed by a ghost, or else you were a monster."

Lin Qi's expression suddenly changed.

However, the lieutenant smiled and patted Lynch on the shoulder, looking like an outsider, and walked away without saying anything more. "

……

Yes, Long Wenwen has gone to more places and met more people.

He also saw a man who was rejuvenated.
