Your promise, my sea

Chapter 20 Make Your Lifetime Promise
In late November, Gu Huaiyue was approved by the old military doctor to leave the hospital.

It has been almost two months since I was admitted to the hospital in early October.Gu Huaiyue had never stayed in the hospital for such a long time before, so when he threw his luggage into the car and was about to leave, he used two words: "Finally."

A thousand words are contained in these two words.

Yan Zhen smiled, and shrank back into the military coat by the way.

Just two days before they were leaving, City B suddenly had the first snow of the year. Yan Zhen was pleasantly surprised and remembered that he came in a hurry and didn't bring much clothes, so Chief of Staff Gu called Division A , I was given a military coat.Yan Zhen felt much warmer when he put it on.

After bidding farewell to Tu Xiao and the old military doctor, the car drove out slowly.The driver, Yan Zhen, knew him. He was Gu Huaiyue's correspondent, Xiao Ma.The pony was clever, and when he saw Yan Zhen, he shouted "Hello sister-in-law" loudly, and Yan Zhen's cheeks felt hot.This made her feel a little strange. She felt that she was becoming more and more elusive. She had been called sister-in-law many times before, but she didn't see the reaction she had now, as if she had just fallen in love.

"What's the matter?" In a daze, someone grabbed his shoulders, "Your face is so red, what are you thinking?"

The teasing tone made Yan Zhen couldn't help but glared at him: "The heater in the car is stuffy."

"So hot?" He looked at her who was wrapped up thickly, and his smile grew wider. "Let's enjoy it for a while now."

What's the meaning?Yan Zhen blinked, and before he had time to ask him, he saw the car that was driving in front of him suddenly turn a corner, Yan Zhen quickly grabbed the window and looked out: "Where are you going?"

"Train station." The person beside him gave the answer calmly.

"Train station?" Yan Zhen looked at him in bewilderment, "What are you doing there?"

"Go to Tibet."

Hearing this, Yan Zhen was stunned, and looked at him without blinking.Gu Huaiyue didn't urge her, and looked at her with a gentle gleam in his eyes.After a while, Yan Zhen came back to his senses, and yelled at him: "Nonsense!"

As soon as this remark came out, the driving pony couldn't help but "puchi" and laughed.However, Chief of Staff Gu became more and more calm, and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, lest she get too excited and hit the roof of the car.

"You don't want to go and see your biological parents?"

"Then you can't go now!" Yan Zhen wanted to spin around anxiously, "You have just been discharged from the hospital, so you have to grow your legs before you go!"

"It doesn't matter to me." He held her hand, "I'll be busy when my legs are healed, and I have to wait for you, why not take advantage of it now. And..."

"And what?" Yan Zhen stared at him.

Gu Huaiyue couldn't help but smile slightly: "And I've already contacted your colleagues."

Yan Zhen was completely shocked: "Me, my colleague? You contacted my colleague?"

Seeing her eyes wide open, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, the team of teachers who aided Tibet is leaving today, and it just so happens that we go there with them, is there anything wrong?"

Yan Zhen looked at him blankly: "They don't know you, how did you tell them?"

"It's easy, honestly."

"..."

"Besides, I have explained everything at home. The old man, old lady and grandma all support us to go, so you don't need to worry about the future."

"..."

Gu Huaiyue looked at her with a smile: "Boss, I've already talked about this, why don't you agree?"

Yan Zhen looked up at him, and finally lowered his head and muttered: "Is there any use in opposing now?"

Sure enough, as Gu Huaiyue said, when they arrived, the team of teachers who aided Tibet had already assembled in the waiting hall.

The teaching team is mainly composed of backbone teachers from cities B and C. Together, they set off from city B to Lhasa, and then transfer to Nyingchi.

When Yan Zhen got out of the car, she saw Wang Ying standing in front of her with her hips akimbo.Looking at the "honestly confess" expression on the other party's face, Yan Zhen instantly felt that the clouds were overwhelming.She walked up to Wang Ying step by step, and greeted her cautiously: "You are here."

Wang Ying smiled sullenly: "You - yes - ah! You didn't tell me that you have been married for so long!"

Yan Zhen shrank his neck: "Isn't this busy?"

Wang Ying glared at her, then turned to show a smile in the direction behind her: "Hello."

The culprit Gu Huaiyue smiled and shook hands with Wang Ying: "Hello."

Looking at the two people who sang and exchanged courtesy, Yan Zhen could only stare blankly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Yingyou went back to the team before leaving. Before leaving, she lowered her voice and whispered in Yan Zhen's ear: "When I have time, I will definitely catch you and let you tell me the truth."

Gu Huaiyue stood aside with a smile all the time, and only after Wang Ying left did he reach out to her, "Let's go."

Under his gentle gaze, Yan Zhen didn't even have the strength to stare at him, so he smiled angrily and held his hand.

Nyingchi is known as the southern part of Tibet.

For this group of young teachers, most of whom are entering Tibet for the first time, there are two advantages to coming here.One is that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the other is that the average altitude here is about [-], the oxygen content is higher than other places in Tibet, and the altitude sickness is the least obvious.

Yan Zhen went to the Shannan area with Gu Huaiyue before, and accumulated a little experience in dealing with altitude sickness. Coupled with the special geographical environment of Nyingchi area, so this journey has not suffered much, but it is only passing through a high altitude. It was a little uncomfortable on the mountain pass.

In contrast, Wang Ying was in a miserable situation.Her body was relatively weak, and under the double torment of the long drive and high altitude, Wang Ying fell ill the second night after arriving in Nyingchi.It was a cold and a fever again, which shocked the team leader and Yan Zhen.

Fortunately, Gu Huaiyue had stayed in Tibet for several years and had rich experience, so he prepared the medicine long before departure.Before the doctor came, she took some medicine to prevent her condition from getting worse, and accompanied Yan Zhen to take care of her for a night, and finally her temperature finally dropped.

So when Comrade Wang Ying woke up, the first two words she said were "I want to go home" and "Thank you brother-in-law".

Yan Zhen couldn't laugh or cry immediately, he looked at Gu Huaiyue with a hint of shyness in his eyes.

On the fifth day of entering Tibet, Wang Ying's body fully recovered, Yan Zhen felt relieved and went to the Linzhi Military Division with Gu Huaiyue.

Before coming here, the old man had already found out the outpost where his father was during his lifetime through his relationship. It was an outpost under the Linzhi Military Division.Therefore, Yan Zhen's father was buried in a special martyrs cemetery in the military division.

The old man was afraid that they would not be able to find a place because they were not familiar with the place, so he directly helped them coordinate an officer surnamed Li, who was responsible for guiding them.

It was a little late when they arrived at the Linzhi Military Sub-district, and Director Li took them directly to the guest house: "The cemetery is a bit far away from us, so we must come back in the dark today, or we can rest in the guest house for a night today. Go there tomorrow?"

Gu Huaiyue readily agreed, and stayed at the guest house that night.

Yan Zhen followed him around the entire Nyingchi area for a long time, but now she understood while sitting on the bed.She took a breath and asked sullenly, "Tell me, when did you start planning?"

How long would it take to arrange things in such a detailed and thoughtful manner? Why didn't she see any signs of it beforehand?
"Well, it will take a long time." He hugged her and kissed her forehead, with a slightly doting tone, "However, the effect is not as good as expected."

"What are you imagining?"

"Well, according to my idea, you should be so touched that you will fall into your arms by now."

He spoke seriously, but Yan Zhen blushed with shame.Why is this person getting thicker and thicker, she doesn't have that kind of atmosphere when she wants to say thank you.But on second thought, maybe he did it on purpose, to let her accept all his good things with peace of mind.

The next day, Director Li took them to the cemetery early in the morning.

The cemetery is a bit far from the military division, and the road leading there is narrow, muddy and twists and turns. In desperation, they can only go there on foot.Officer Li has served as a soldier in Tibet for several years, so he is very familiar with this place. Gu Huaiyue is also an infantry soldier who went out from here, so it must be no problem to make such a trip, so Yan Zhen is the only one left.

Director Li was worried that Yan Zhen wouldn't be able to make it this far, so he had mentioned it to Gu Huaiyue in advance, saying that he would wait a few days until the road was better before going there.The more Gu Huai thought about it, he still refused.

He understood her thoughts, since she came to Linzhi, she hadn't slept well at night, it might be because of her physical problems, or because she had something on her mind and couldn't sleep.

It is said that being close to the country is timid, and being close to people is probably the same.She wanted to see him, but there was still a trace of fear in her heart because of the stranger.He doesn't really want to see her like this, so it's better to go early.Moreover, when it came to the day of departure, Yan Zhen's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Although he was leading her along the way, she was not half a step behind.Seeing her persisting like this, Gu Huaiyue suddenly realized.How could he forget that she always impresses him.

It took nearly two and a half hours to arrive at the Martyrs Cemetery in the military division.

As soon as he walked into the gate, Yan Zhen could feel the unique solemnity and solemnity here.She subconsciously paused, took a deep breath, and continued walking.

There are five rows of tombs in the cemetery, which cannot be said to be exquisitely carved. A white marble tombstone stands obliquely on a short tomb. Some of the tombstones are not only engraved with the name of the deceased, but also embedded with the photo of the deceased and the date of death. , while some tombstones have only one line of names left.

"Are all the soldiers buried here who died here?" Yan Zhen asked in a low voice, stroking the tombstone.

Officer Li said with a "hmm": "All the comrades who died in Tibet for so many years are buried here."

All passing soldiers will automatically stop here, and guns have been fired for them.Everything is a silent tribute to the dead comrades, please rest in peace.

Yan Zhen listened quietly, walked past the tombs one by one, and finally stopped in front of two tombs piled up side by side. A sudden premonition made her heart beat faster, and she almost said before Director Li said: "This Yes or no……"

Officer Li nodded: "That's right."

Yan Zhen was filled with emotion in his heart, it seemed that the blood relationship is so wonderful.

"Before I came here, I heard from our political commissar that there were funeral objects when your father was buried."

"what?"

"It's a military uniform." Officer Li said, "Because of the principle of confidentiality, your father wore casual clothes most of the time, and he could only wear military uniforms during the New Year and holidays, so he brought a military uniform with him when he was buried."

Yan Zhen was speechless when he heard the words, but Gu Huaiyue smiled faintly: "It's more or less possible, but it's a pity."

Leaning over to sweep away the snow on the tombstone, Yan Zhen stared carefully at the two juxtaposed names.Those were a pair of names recorded in the honor book of the military division, and they were also a pair of names that she would remember in her heart from now on.Although it was a pity that there were no photos, Yan Zhen was relieved quickly, because she could think about their appearance in her heart.

If she was still struggling and unwilling to believe Jiang Yi's words before, then standing here today, she counted her heartbeats and slowly calmed herself down.

Two tombstones without photos brought her back to more than 20 years ago.She could almost imagine the scene at that time, a simple soldier and his wife were walking in this long snowy field, enjoying a arduous, long, plain and glorious life, isn't that a kind of happiness?And this kind of happiness, she also feels personally at this moment.Then, no one will have any regrets.

She rubbed her wet eyes, and slowly stood up, while Gu Huaiyue, who had been standing behind her, took a step forward at this moment.

He stared at the two tombs in front of him, slowly raised his right hand, and performed a formal military salute.

He has respect and gratitude to these two elders who have never met.For him, the only thing that can express all this is the military salute.Because that represents solemnity, reverence and inviolability.

After returning from the cemetery, Yan Zhen felt much more relaxed.One is because of relief, and the other is because——I am going home.

Wang Ying looked at her and wanted to cry with her mouth flattened: "Are you really leaving? Then I will be left alone."

Yan Zhen patted her face and comforted her: "I will come with you later."

She was homesick, and she also missed her children. She hadn't seen the children for a long time, and she didn't know if the little ones missed her.

Because Nyingchi is far away from Lhasa, Director Li specially drove a car from the military area and asked an experienced driver to take them to the airport in Lhasa.

"I think it's going to snow a lot this day." The driver Xiao Liu said while driving.

Yan Zhen looked out through the car window, and then asked Gu Huaiyue: "You said, is it not good for us to choose this time to go home?"

Gu Huaiyue looked down at her, and smiled lowly: "It's not like that, I think the snow won't fall today."

Yan Zhen sighed: "Why take a plane, it's better to go back by train to be safer."

Gu Huaiyue pinched her face: "It's not that some people are eager to return to their hearts."

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhen glared at him with a blushing face.He smiled heartily and hugged her: "Sleep a little longer, it will take a long time to get to Lhasa."

"Ah."

She got up too early in the morning, and she was indeed a little sleepy, but just as she nestled into his arms, Yan Zhen suddenly remembered a question, raised her head and said, "By the way, I think it's better for you not to go to the military academy to teach."

"Oh why?"

"You are not suitable there." Yan Zhen said, "You are suitable for leading troops."

Although in the eyes of everyone, he is a deep, introverted and manly man, but in her view, his way of thinking is still very simple.He should lead troops and give full play to his abilities on the training ground or on the battlefield, instead of being a teacher or researcher, standing on a four-square podium and talking to a group of people who have never been on the battlefield.

Once or twice is fine, but after years of doing this, he will definitely feel bound.This man, he is suitable for a wider battlefield.

Gu Huaiyue didn't expect her to think so much, he didn't know how to answer for a while, it wasn't until Yan Zhen poked his arm impatiently that he came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Understood, let me think about it again."

Yan Zhen let out an "um" and leaned back on his shoulder.Gu Huaiyue hugged her tightly, and while running down her long hair, he thought about what she just said.After an unknown amount of time, just when he thought she had fallen asleep, he suddenly heard her muffled voice coming from his arms: "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. graduate students."

The right hand that followed her long hair froze in mid-air.postgraduate? Big B? City B?Gu Huaiyue, who wanted to understand the connection, smiled.

The car was driving slowly in Nyingchi area.Some time ago, there was a heavy snowfall here, and the snow had not yet melted, so I felt nothing when walking in the county town. When I got on the national highway, what I saw were patches of white snow-capped mountains.

When we got here, the driver slightly reduced the speed of the car.

Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen both closed their eyes and rested in the back row. After some time, the car suddenly stopped with a screeching brake.The two people in the back seat fell forward due to inertia, and opened their eyes in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Yan Zhen was startled awake, and her heartbeat was a little unstable for a while.

The driver, Xiao Liu, turned his head in embarrassment: "There is a traffic jam ahead."

Sure enough, looking forward from the car, there was a long line of cars parked in front of him, and many people were standing on the road, and it seemed that he would not be able to leave for a while.

Gu Huaiyue frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

Xiao Liu shook his head: "Sir, I'll go down and have a look, it's probably an accident."

When Yan Zhen heard the word "accident", he raised his heart: "Did something happen?"

Gu Huaiyue hugged her subconsciously: "I don't know yet, we'll talk about it when Xiao Liu comes back."

Yan Zhen nodded, looking at the thick layer of snow on the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window, he felt a sudden shock in his heart.She grabbed Gu Huaiyue's hand suddenly, and was about to say something, when Xiao Liu ran back from the front panting: "Chief, there is an avalanche in front, and the road for about two kilometers is covered by snow. We can't make it through!"

Yan Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide, and tightened Gu Huaiyue's hand.Gu Huaiyue noticed her strangeness, patted her backhand, and asked Xiao Liu: "Is there anyone rescued at the scene?"

"The land has appointed a rescue team, and they are digging. It is said that a construction team was working when the avalanche happened. The snow fell and buried them all!"

In this way, now is a critical moment.Gu Huaiyue pondered for a moment, then opened the car door: "I'll go over and have a look, Xiao Liu, you stay in the car and take care of you—"

"I'll go too!" Yan Zhen interrupted him hastily.

"No." Gu Huaiyue refused without hesitation, "There's an avalanche ahead, it's dangerous!"

"I know." Yan Zhen hurriedly put on a coat, jumped down and grabbed his arm, "but you must take me with you this time."

It was rare for her to show such a stubborn side, and Gu Huaiyue didn't know how to refuse for a while.He knew what she was thinking of. Last time he went to the disaster area for disaster relief and came back with a broken leg; this time it was an avalanche again. She was worried that he would have an accident, so she insisted on going with him.

Gu Huaiyue looked at her, was silent for a moment, and showed a helpless wry smile: "Stubborn!"

Yan Zhen smiled slightly and squeezed his hand tightly.

They were far away just now, and they didn't know the specific situation. It wasn't until they got closer that they realized that it was more serious than they imagined.

Because the avalanche came suddenly and spread to the national highway, even if the driver took timely measures, the accident could not be avoided.As far as Yan Zhen knows, three large and small cars have been involved in rear-end accidents, and everyone in the car has been injured to varying degrees.In addition, when the avalanche occurred, there was still a construction team working here. There were about 80 people, and they were all trapped in the snow right now.

The Nyingchi Prefectural Committee and the transportation department sent rescuers, and the relevant troops were on their way after receiving the notification. The rescue work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Gu Huaiyue watched outside the cordon for a while, but when he was about to cross the cordon, he was stopped.Only then did Gu Huaiyue realize that he was wearing casual clothes. After thinking for a while, he took out his military officer's card and handed it to the man: "I'm a soldier."

The man took a look and smiled apologetically at him: "Then come in."

Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen went straight to a rescue team, and he showed his military ID to the leader: "Count me in."

The captain glanced at him and Yan Zhen and said, "Okay!"

Taking off his coat and putting on a pair of gloves, Gu Huai strode towards the place with the thickest snow.

Yan Zhen hugged his coat and wanted to follow him at first, but when he turned his gaze, he saw a little girl who looked like eleven or twelve years old.

Just as Xu Shi was rescued, the little girl stood aside covered in snow, her upper and lower limbs almost shrunk together.

Yan Zhen turned around, walked in front of the girl, looked at her nose and eye sockets that were red from the cold, squatted down, and unfolded the coat in his hand to wrap her in.

The sudden warmth made the girl yawn. She opened her big red eyes and looked at Yan Zhen: "Thank you, auntie."

Yan Zhen smiled: "Is it cold?"

The girl shook her head.

Yan Zhen looked around again, and said to her, "I'll send you outside, okay, it's dangerous here."

The little girl shook her head again, pointing to the snow five or six meters thick in the distance and said, "My father is still in there."

The little girl's father was a member of the construction team, and was trapped in the thick snow at the moment, waiting for rescue.And this little girl was rescued first because she was a little far away.

Yan Zhen followed her gaze and saw a tall figure in a hurry.Turning around, she smiled at the girl and tightened her coat again: "Well, let's wait for them to come out together."

There were many rescuers at the scene, and people were rescued one after another. There were also several forklifts, large and small, clearing the road. People who have just been rescued and are shivering with cold wear it.

Yan Zhen and the little girl waited for a while, and suddenly saw a woman covered in snow running out of it, staggering, and running straight towards them.Yan Zhenyuan wanted to protect the girl and take a few steps back, but he didn't want the man to collapse in front of them all of a sudden.

Yan Zhen was startled, let go of the little girl's hand and went forward to check, only to see the man with wide eyes, panting heavily, saw Yan Zhen, grabbed her hand and shouted sharply: "Avalanche! , run!"

It turned out that this person hadn't reacted after being rescued, and thought he was still in the avalanche, so he ran forward desperately.

Seeing that her face was pale, Yan Zhen hurried to the side and called two people to lift the woman out of the cordon.

Outside the cordon, a man was walking anxiously. When he saw the woman they were carrying, his eyes lit up, and he hurried towards them. He didn't even bother to pick up the coat that had fallen on the ground. He came forward and hugged the woman tightly. .Yan Zhen was taken aback for a moment, saw the anxious expression on the man's face, and handed the woman over to the man.

Seemingly out of fear, the woman leaned into her familiar embrace and cried out loud.The man put on her coat while kissing her forehead and coaxing her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

Yan Zhen silently watched the scene of the two cuddling each other, and was suddenly moved.

After finally settling his own woman, the man ran over and held Yan Zhen's hand, and thanked him vigorously: "Thank you! Thank you! Thanks to you for saving my wife."

Yan Zhen's hands were strangled red by him, but she still smiled and felt a little embarrassed: "Don't say that, but, in such a dangerous area, it's better to let less women come here in the future."

The man scratched his head and looked scared: "We didn't expect to encounter an avalanche, that guy, the sky is full of snow..."

It was snowing all over the sky.

As if feeling the coldness, Yan Zhen shrank his neck.At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, Yan Zhen looked up at the sky, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.It's just that before she could do anything in the future, a gust of wind blew over the snow particles. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, but was blown almost unsteadily by another gust of fierce wind.With the screams of the people around her one after another, she realized what was going to happen.

"It's windy! Hurry up and get out of the danger zone! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Is there a second avalanche due to such a strong wind? Back up quickly! Back up!"

Secondary avalanche.

When Yan Zhen heard this word, he paused for a moment to block the wind. When he lowered his arms, he saw rescuers not far away shouting to evacuate, and the crowd outside the cordon was retreating, preparing to evacuate to a safe place. zone.The man saw that Yan Zhen was still in a daze, so he patted her on the shoulder and shouted loudly in the strong wind: "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Yan Zhen took a few steps back, but suddenly heard a child crying amidst the noise.Her eyes lit up suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned around and ran towards the place where the snow was piled up.

"Don't run there! Hey! Cough cough cough!" The man called her loudly, but unexpectedly a gust of wind slipped into his mouth, choking him speechless.

Because it was going against the wind, it was extremely difficult for Yan Zhen to act.From time to time, the wind with snow particles captivated her eyes. She covered her eyes, ran a few steps and accidentally collided with people running away from the scene of the avalanche.

Just as she was stumbling and running wildly, a big hand grabbed her arm and pulled her over.She looked up and saw that it was Gu Huaiyue.

The wind made it hard for him to keep his eyes open, but he still saw Yan Zhen who was circling without direction in the crowd at a glance. Seeing that she wanted to run forward, he grabbed her and said loudly: "You are crazy!" ? Hurry up and get out!"

Thick white snow coupled with strong winds can easily cause a secondary avalanche!
Yan Zhen shook his head: "Child!"

In the strong wind, he could only see her mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what she said clearly. Seeing that she insisted on going in, he almost shouted at her angrily: "Quickly get out, it's dangerous and you can't get in!"

"There's a child inside!"

She yelled at him, took advantage of his hesitation, broke free from his arm and ran inside.Seeing her run away, Gu Huaiyue understood what she meant, so he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to return the same way.

It is not easy to find a person in the white snow of the same color as far as the eye can see.Fortunately, Yan Zhen put a military coat on the little girl, and with that little green color, Yan Zhen found the little girl.But just as she was about to step forward, the most worrying thing happened.

Because of the strong wind, the snowdrift that had accumulated five or six meters loosened, and the snow fell down at an accelerated rate.It started as a small snow block, but after a few seconds, it turned into a big snow block, mercilessly hitting the little girl who was curled up under the snowdrift.

Yan Zhen took a deep breath, and immediately rushed forward.She picked up the little girl quickly, and before she could stand up, she heard a crackling sound, and then several snow blocks fell down along the way. With the help of gravity, they hit her directly on the spine, and Yan Zhen fell down immediately. Taking a deep breath, his legs suddenly knelt on the ground, and the hands holding the little girl trembled.

"Auntie." The little girl timidly hid in her arms.

Yan Zhen took a breath, endured the pain, and tightened her grip: "It's okay, auntie, auntie will take you out."

She hugged the girl and wanted to stand up, but the fast-falling snow hit her shoulder and wet her hair. The snow water melted into her body and took away the heat from her body. For a while, she could only support her Stand up slowly on your knees.

After standing still, Yan Zhen moved her legs, and a burst of pain made her almost shed tears.The child also saw that something was wrong with her, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Zhen shook her head, bent down and protected her under her body: "It's okay." She smoothed the child's hair and comforted her in a low voice: "Can you move?"

"can."

"Well, Auntie put you down, let's go out together, shall we?"

"it is good."

The little girl replied tremblingly.

It's just that Yan Zhen just put her down, and a terrifying sound unique to snow sliding exploded in their ears, louder than louder, rushing towards their direction with lightning speed.The child looked at Yan Zhen with wide eyes, and tightly grasped the corners of her clothes with both hands.

Yan Zhen also looked ahead in horror.

The white snow that covered the mountain quietly in the past turned into torrents and rolled down the ridge. Yan Zhen witnessed all this, and his first reaction was to turn around and hold the little girl into his arms.

The child was frightened and cried by the loud noise, Yan Zhen wanted to comfort her, but just as soon as he said the words "it's okay", heavy snow rolled towards them like a flood, with large and small pieces of snow falling down from above their heads, There was a roar in Yan Zhen's ears, and his mind went blank.

The pain was excruciating, but the heavy snow didn't stop, and rushed towards her every second, getting into her body and covering the top of her head.

Just when she was trembling with pain, feeling that she had no strength left, and the hand holding the little girl was about to let go, she was suddenly hugged tightly by a strong force, and the ensuing warmth made her feel Consciousness cleared up for a moment.

She raised her head slowly, turned around, and saw a person.

Then, the last impression of this cataclysm was the large snowstorm blocked by him alone and the familiar pair of dark eyes above his head.

In a trance, Yan Zhen seemed to have a dream.

Linzhi in the dream was in March.The peach blossoms are in full swing, stretching like a drunken glow and crimson clouds, so beautiful that people can't even breathe.

But in an instant, such a beautiful scenery was covered by a heavy snow.avalanche.A piece of white rushed towards her, and she wanted to escape, but found that she couldn't move.She was stuck in the snow, curled up in a thick military overcoat, the snowflakes melted into her body, and the warmth was mixed with a little bit of cold.Hearing the sound of running for life, she was not nervous at all.

Suddenly, a sobbing young female voice asked her: "Don't you feel cold? Why are you still laughing?"

She lowered her head with difficulty, and found that there was actually a little girl protecting her under her coat.Yan Zhen stared at her, and said softly: "It's not cold." The little girl seemed puzzled, looked at her, and blinked her big black eyes.

"Because, I remembered what someone once said to me."

"He told me that a person with a lot of past will feel the long-lost warmth when he is caught in the memories." Yan Zhen said, his thoughts gradually drifted away.

He said that after serving as a soldier in Tibet for a few years, he joined the Special Forces Brigade. He did not know when he would encounter dangerous missions, and he also experienced moments of near-death.

He said that he once lurked in a snowdrift for two days for a target, his hands and feet were numb from the cold, but he still had to hold a gun.Then his captain told him not to be tensed all the time like a string, just relax and think about happy things.He wondered what he was thinking, so he began to think, and then he forgot about the cold.

Now, she was also trapped in the snow and shivering, so she also began to wonder, what should I think of?
She closed her eyes and began to think.

She has so many memories.

Those memories were like dreams one after another, flashing through her mind one by one like a revolving lantern, and it was enough for her to think about it for a long time.

She thought of her grandma, her children, and her biological father, the young soldier who died in the avalanche.Finally, I thought of him again.

Thinking about it, she seemed to really see him.

He walked towards her, alone, blocking the oncoming snow for her.She curled up in that side of the world, unexpectedly feeling very warm.But she didn't crave for this warmth for a long time, and then he disappeared, leaving only a white light, which shot at her very dazzlingly.

"Huaiyue!"

Yan Zhen called his name and struggled to open his eyes.

The sense of urgency brought by the avalanche has not disappeared, and her heart is beating violently.After a while, Yan Zhen saw everything in front of him clearly, and was suddenly a little dazed.

There was no little girl, no heavy snow, and no him, just a room of silence that frightened her.

what happened?She caressed her heart, blinked her eyes, and looked at everything around her in confusion.

Suddenly there was a "squeak", and the door of the room opened.She turned her head and saw a woman coming from the door.

The woman was taken aback when she saw her, then smiled: "Hey! Are you awake?"

Yan Zhen looked at her and asked hoarsely, "Where is this?"

The woman glanced at her hospital gown and replied, "This is a hospital!"

Hospital?Why is she in the hospital?

Yan Zhen thought for a while in a daze, then leaned on the edge of the bed and remembered.But as soon as she supported her upper body, the sudden pain made her gasp, and she almost fell back on the bed again.The woman wanted to reach out to help her, but she stopped her: "I'm fine, I'll do it myself."

The woman had no choice but to stand aside to protect her, watching her struggling to get out of bed, couldn't help but remind her: "Slow down."

She slowly got out of bed, and then moved to the window step by step.

There was originally a small garden outside the window, because it had just snowed, and now only a piece of white snow can be seen.Today's weather is pretty good. The abundant sunlight came in from the window and was reflected by the snow, making her eyes ache.

Yan Zhen subconsciously covered it with his hands, but suddenly something came to his mind.

Bai Guang, Xue Beng, and the figure standing in front of him——

Yan Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide, stared out of the window for a while, then turned around and grabbed the person behind him who was carefully looking at her and asked, "Where are people? Where are they?"

It wasn't long before the woman was transferred to this ward. Looking at her, she was a little puzzled: "Who is it? Why don't you wait, and I'll call you a nurse?"

Speaking of the woman hurried out, Yan Zhen stayed in the room alone, circling in place while muttering: "Huaiyue, Huaiyue..."

Seeing two coats hanging on the hanger in the ward, Yan Zhen staggered over while supporting the bed, grabbed it in his hand, and looked inside and out.

It was the overcoat he and she wore when they went back, and it even contained his military ID card inside!Yan Zhen felt very anxious as he touched the bent little red book.

The door of the ward was ajar, Yan Zhen supported the wall and walked to the door of the ward.

The corridor was bustling with people, some were patients, some were family members, Yan Zhen staggered past them, but all he saw were unfamiliar faces.

He's not in it.

Yan Zhen frowned, grabbed a nurse who was hurrying past with a bunch of things and asked, "Where's Huaiyue, where is Gu Huaiyue?"

The nurse was busy and didn't have time to listen to her, so she just said: "Let's go first, I'll talk about something when I come back." Then she left in a hurry.

Yan Zhen stomped his feet anxiously, and stopped another young nurse. "Where's Gu Huaiyue?" Before the nurse could speak, she took out her military ID card, "He's a soldier, and he was trapped by the snow just now in an avalanche! He must be here!"

Perhaps her tone was too eager, the little nurse flinched and said: "All the people sent by Lin Zhi Xue Beng are here."

"Impossible! Take a look! This is his photo! The snow is so heavy, he must be injured, please help me find him." She looked at the photo of the man on the military officer's certificate, her eyes turned red, Even his voice became hoarse, "He must be injured, please help me find him."

The young nurse didn't have much experience. Seeing her like this, she could only say in a low voice, "Why don't you go over there again, there are a few people dug out, there..."

The nurse pointed out a direction for her, and Yan Zhen said "thank you" repeatedly and rushed in that direction, but when she saw the sign at the door clearly, she was stunned.

Emergency room.

Looking at this sign, Yan Zhen suddenly remembered the last time he was in the hospital in City B for some reason.

That time, it was from here that the young nurse brought out a basin.The basin contained army trousers soaked with his blood.

What would it be like if he were lying here again this time?

Yan Zhen didn't dare to think about it any longer, he clenched the military ID card in his hand, and looked straight at the little boy sitting on the bench outside the emergency room with moist eyes: "Have you seen this uncle?"

The little boy shook his head, and his eyes were red: "I'm waiting for Dad."

dad.These two words, like two needles, were pierced into Yan Zhen's heart, causing a throbbing pain.She can't wait for her father, the only thing she has is him.

Yan Zhen suddenly felt weak all over, she bent down, covered her face and sobbed silently.The little boy was worried about his father who was sent to the emergency room. When he saw Yan Zhen crying, he seemed to feel scared too. He got off the bench, squatted in front of Yan Zhen, and cried along with him.

So, in this crowded hospital, the elder and the younger cried so aggrievedly with their heads in their arms, that they didn't even notice the two figures running towards them in a hurry.

"Yan Zhen!"

The figure called her name loudly, but she didn't seem to hear it, and continued to sob with her head sullen.

"Yan Zhen!"

The man shouted again, this time Yan Zhen heard clearly.She raised her head in a daze, and looked back slowly.

That man was running against the light, at this moment she could only see his tall silhouette, and she could only see his appearance clearly when he ran close.At that moment, it seemed as if a big hand had tightly grasped her heart, and she even forgot to breathe.

She watched the man running towards her, saw that familiar face, and saw his expression of surprise and joy, and felt unbelievable for a while.

Is it Gu Huaiyue?really him?
"Yan Zhen." The man looked at her anxiously. Seeing that she was silent, he hurriedly looked at the woman who ran with him behind him, "What's going on?"

The woman couldn't explain clearly, she looked at him, and whispered, "I don't know either, I don't know who she is looking for, so I have to call a nurse for her..."

The man had no choice but to bend down, pat Yan Zhen's face, and said hastily: "Yan Zhen, look at me!"

Yan Zhen seemed a little dazed, she looked at his worried and flushed eyes, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and asked in a low voice, as if confirming: "Gu Huaiyue?"

"It's me, I'm here." Gu Huaiyue responded quickly.

And Yan Zhen seemed to have finally regained her senses, loosened his clothes, and when he bent over to hug her, she hugged his legs all of a sudden, and cried out loudly: "You are gone!" , I dreamed that you disappeared, and I couldn’t see you when I woke up. I looked for you everywhere, but they ignored me..."

Gu Huaiyue was stunned.

He had never seen her cry like this before, crying loudly, like a child who had been wronged all the time, holding him while crying and talking, what she wanted, perhaps, was a little comfort.

Thinking of this, he squatted down, stroked her long hair and pulled her into his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't cry, don't cry. I'm fine. Look, I'm fine..."

Just like the woman who had just been dug out from the snowdrift, as soon as she hid in the man's arms, she cried loudly to vent her fear.And all Gu Huaiyue could do was coax her clumsily: "It's okay, it's cold on the ground, let's get up, come..."

All the fears surged towards Yan Zhen at this moment, which made her ignore his extended hand, and just hugged him tightly, like a lost and recovered treasure, once she grasped it, she would never let go.

"Gu Huaiyue." She raised her head, looked at him sobbing and said, "Don't leave me."

The eyes of the man who was called were slightly red. He hugged her, stroked her soft hair, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, don't leave."

Never leave.
