Night Listening: Watching Dashan's Watch

Overwatch in Dashan

Author | Yang Pan

Today, I returned to the old company, which is a place that often appears in dreams. On the car in the camp, I turned out of the window. The flocks of the mountains flowed with the herdsmen, as if the flowing clouds in the sky dropped the world. The blue sky Wu Mountain, black stone and yellow grass spread from the top of the head at noon, falling on the familiar and unfamiliar mountains in the distance.

Dashan was speechless, and I seemed to see the silent and resolute eyes of the squad leader when I saw it again. Inadvertently, the stories that were lost in the mountains appeared in mind.

It was the first night of the next day, I was lying on the bed to write a family letter, telling my family a story that moved me to cry. The door of the dormitory is very large, and the wind is always leak at night, and the squad leader sleeps on the bed near the door of the dormitory, like a green hill. The recruits in the class were noisy to sleep with the squad leader, but he disagreed. He said that this was the position of the squad leader, and your small board could not stop the wind of the night. Later, when I heard the instructor lecture, the veterans had to block bullets, blocked snow, and blocked danger. This was a glorious tradition inherited from the Red Army period. Every veteran knew.

One day after the next three months, I called at home and told them that the dozen books sent to me were received. Among them, there were two novels: "Bulls" and "How Iron and Steel Trained". The company commander accidentally saw it and did not squeak, and later made me written a determination. In the determination book, the company commander added such a sentence: I want to be a mountain, a mountain with a very high, wide, wide and winding rain, and comrades climb up along the path up the mountain. Chaoyang.

It was a rest day. The new comrades have been here for a week. Some are playing, some are washing clothes. I wrote to my girlfriend on the table near the window. I told her that today is the third anniversary of my enlistment. I wished to become the deputy squad leader. I sat on the window by the window and finally became a mountain of comrades -in -arms to block the wind outside the window seam for them.

I wrote something in the letter that day, forgot, I just remembered that when I installed the letter into the envelope, I put it in a stone. It was picked up from the mountain outside the camp area. The stone was squeezed into the envelope like this, and it also squeezed into my heart.

The mountains around the camp are different, and the "mountains" in the barracks are not the same, but they all have a common feature, which is gentle and persistent, with edges and corners, and contains energy and passion.

The squad leader said that the sentinel had to stand upright and not move. When did you become the same as the mountain behind you, then you are not far from a real warrior. During the tour, even the commander said that every stone in the mountains had breathing. Everyone should be lonely like the mountains, because the glory lies in the bland and the arduous lies in the long. After physical training, the same year, the soldier Xiao Li always ran towards the end of the mountain for a while. He stubbornly believed that running a little more every day, one day he will reach Yuanyuan Mountain ...

终于，直到退伍的那天，我望着车后扬起的滚滚沙尘，望着无边无际的大山，想起那些平淡而漫长的岁月，想起山里那一张张年轻灿烂的青春笑容，想起连长、 The instructor and squad leader's words suddenly flowed through the whole body. I stretched my head out of the window and waved a hand in a place not far from the camp area, and waved: "Comrades, I will come back."

Today, when I return to the old camp, many things have become a little strange. Only a military song from the mountains is still a familiar melody. It was the years old, leaving for every youth memory of every soldier.
