ramen.A little plain, but enough to eat.Shi Wei put the instant noodles in a bowl, topped with an egg, put it in the microwave for a few seconds, and then took it out and poured it into the water.

...Actually, I just forgot to cook the noodles first, Shi Wei frowned and ate the noodles she cooked, it was hard to swallow.But she is too lazy to cook another serving. It is not worthwhile to eat alone. It takes 10 minutes to cook and 5 minutes to finish eating, and no one is with her. She does not want to go through this experience again.

People are really amazing animals. When they live in groups, they want to live alone, and when they live alone, they want to live in groups.Shi Wei once longed for a small house of her own just like Feng Zhilan did, but she was afraid of facing an empty home after get off work.If she is alone all the time, she will not be afraid of being alone.How can people be willing to lose something after gaining it?

Shi Wei gulped and swallowed alone, caught off guard, a hot teardrop fell down, blurring her entire vision.

82. Ups and downs

Sylvie was born in the last month of Plague 99, and Sdwell told her later that he was leading the campaign known as the "War of Armageddon".The news of Shi Wei's birth was just the most insignificant of his many telegrams.The influence of that battle lasted for many years, so that Shi Wei's birthday was always entangled with the Doomsday War, becoming another accessory of Shi Dewei.When Shi Dewei saw Shi Wei, it was like seeing a walking medal, and he couldn't help asking: "Shi Wei, how old are you this year?"

"Five years old."

"Five years old? Then five years have passed since the doomsday battle."

Only Shi Qiang would wake up Shi Wei two or three minutes before zero, and ask her to make a wish at the end of her birthday.And Shi Wei makes the same wish every year. She always blows out the candles vigorously, folds her hands, and makes a sincere wish: On her next birthday, she does not want to hear the news of the war again.

It's a pity that things are contrary to expectations. Both TV and radio have more and more anxious wars, and the most eloquent members of the alliance can't resolve the stalemate with their words.One day when Shi Wei was 12 years old, the TV station suddenly broadcast a program throughout the day: In the flames, four people in league overalls were carried to the rooftop, and three bullets ended all of their lives.One of the girls tilted her body to deflect a bullet for a young child, but her struggle was in vain.

"Swee, do you know what happened?"

Shi Qiang has awakened as a sentinel, she seldom goes home, but this day she came back.Shi Wei read grief from Shi Qiang's face, and every time she saw words related to "pain", Shi Wei would think of Shi Qiang's face.

Shi Qiang told Shi Wei that what was shown on the TV was the Allied Powers bombing the Alliance radio station.She also listened to the recording for Shi Wei. In the recording, a sad female voice said: "...Give us another 5 minutes, just 5 minutes."

The impact of bullets can be heard endlessly, and the negotiation seems to have failed.Someone was roaring, but Shi Wei couldn't hear what was being said, followed by a few muffled sounds.

"My fellow citizens. Union Radio is about to fall, remember us, we will hold on until the last moment, this is the end of our lives, but definitely not the end of the Union! This is the last broadcast from Union Radio."

It was the last broadcast from Union Radio, accompanied by a husky vocal of the Union Anthem.Shi Wei's eyes widened involuntarily, tears rolled out of her eyes and hit her knees, even though she didn't know what happened...

"Although you don't understand, I know that true grief doesn't need to be expressed." Shi Qiang looked at her, tears and humiliation filled her beautiful eyes.She choked up, her eyelashes were full of tears, and when her eyelids trembled, there were tears.

Shi Wei remembered that true grief does not need to be expressed.When Shi Wei went out, there were no ice cream sellers or orange sodas on the street, and there were no children playing football.Everyone had tears on their faces, as if their relatives had died.Another day, the streets were covered with black and white letters, which read vigorously and forcefully: "Our children died singing the alliance song, the oldest was 29 years old, and the youngest was only sixteen..."

Ms. Zhan took Shi Wei's hand and sighed in front of the bulletin board.

Shi Wei looked up, and she asked, "Mom, are all those people from our place?"

"Yes, Weiwei," Ms. Zhan said, "now you are younger than them, and they are your older sisters. But in the future, you will be their older sister..."

That year, Shi Wei was younger than the youngest one, but now, she is only one year younger than the oldest one.

Shi Dewei no longer mentioned the Doomsday War, he was depressed for two years.In the past two years, Shi Wei has not had a birthday, because the current situation is bad, no one has the heart to prepare cakes, candles or longevity noodles.Two years later, Shi Qiang died, Shi Wei grew up, and she would never celebrate her birthday again.

Shi Qiang's mausoleum is located in the Sentinel Cemetery on the east side of the Alliance Headquarters. It is a pure clothes tomb.Because Shi Qiang sacrificed too much, the wreckage of the plane and the remains were mixed together and burned for nearly four hours, and finally burned into a pile of shiny ashes, which could not be distinguished.After obtaining the consent of the family members, the alliance sent people to bury it on the spot, and planted an evergreen tree at the nose of the aircraft.This was a good result. Shi Qiang shed her last drop of blood there, and she became one with the mountains and rivers, and she lived again.

Shi Wei suddenly wanted to take a look.

After nearly two hours of tossing and turning, Shi Wei finally put a bouquet of lilies under the sentinel stele.Shi Qiang's name on the stele seemed brighter than Shi Wei's last visit.Volunteers often come here to maintain it, so the flowers under the Sentinel Monument are always blooming and new, and the name will not fade.

Shi Wei still remembers the first time she came: Shi Dewei refused to accept the facts, and Ms. Zhan cried out of shape.It was Shi Wei who found this place after taking two buses by herself.The sun was very strong, and the ground was scorching hot, every step Shi Wei took seemed to be executed.

The person who received her obviously didn't take her seriously, they were gentle in their mouths, but refused to accommodate her in their hearts. "Get your parents over, you can't confirm that," she said, "unless you're an orphan."

"I'm an orphan!" Shi Wei suddenly became hysterical, "I've been taking care of myself for a long time!"

Her violence startled the receptionist, and the receptionist quickly confirmed and verified her identity.After putting down the phone, the receptionist couldn't hold back his displeasure: "You are obviously not an orphan! Go back and let your parents come over!"

"I am!" Shi Wei scratched her throat, "They won't come, they are already dead!"

As a result of this roar, Shi Wei was kicked out directly. She squatted in the corridor, waiting from the scorching sun to the dark clouds, and then to the heavy rain, the whole person became a drowned rat.In a trance, she felt a pair of strong arms hugging her.

who is it?

She tried her best to open her eyes, and Shi Qiang's face was indistinct.She burst into tears, but couldn't make a sound, all the voices were suppressed in her body, and she couldn't say anything.He only vaguely saw Shi Qiang, and saw that her brows were knotted in worry.

She said, don't cry, my dearest little sister.

That night, Shi Wei had a fever, and she curled up under the quilt, crying in her ears.She thought, why is it crying?Am I dead too?In a daze, she seemed to see Shi Qiang, sitting beside her bed, wearing only a simple white shirt, her hair hanging down to Shi Wei's palm.

Shi Wei asked, why don't you wear a military uniform.Shi Qiang said, I leave it to the alliance.Shi Wei asked, why is your hair so long.Shi Qiang said, I always wanted to grow long hair.Shi Wei asked, will you leave this time when you come back?

Shi Qiang gently kissed Shi Wei's forehead.She said, don't go, never go again, I will stay in your heart forever, by your side...

"Are you here too?"

Shi Wei came back to her senses and saw Long Yi walking over holding a bunch of sunflowers.She walked very slowly, the 33 steps seemed to take [-] steps.Shi Wei wanted to help, but was stopped by Long Yi.

Long Yi said: "As I said, I don't ask for it, and you can't offer to help me."

Shi Wei waited, and it took nearly 10 minutes for Longyi to come up.She bent down and brought the flowers near the stele, bowed deeply again, and said, "This is not for you." She made a standard hand salute again, and said solemnly, "This is for you."

"She doesn't like being offered."

"So I don't bow to her," Long Yi said softly, "I only salute to her, because she fought to the last moment. I hope I can be like her."

"I wish I could be like her, too."

"Then I will definitely bow to you, so that you don't dare to die easily," Long Yi smiled, "Think about it, then you can only look at me and bow, but you can't do anything, it's no use yelling at me Kicking me is useless, biting me is useless, how angry you are."

"I'm already getting angry now, when it really comes, you have to be careful!"

Long Yi said: "Then I must sprinkle salt all over my body, so that you can't get close to me. So if you are angry, you will be angry with me alive."

Long Yi also said: "Actually, I like this place very much. Have you seen it? There is a hill over there, and every sign on the hill has a number written on it, and there is a flower beside the number. Red flowers should grow from the soil of the last drop of blood."

"Red flowers should grow on the soil that has shed the last drop of blood!" Shi Qiang likes to say that.She took her classmates home and set up a projector in the basement to watch movies. One movie was watched over and over again, so they all sang the episode of that movie:

"Goodbye my friend, goodbye my friend, goodbye my friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye."

"If I die in battle, please bury me."

buried in their expectations
