3122 The Mountain Is Strong Because Of The Ridge, The House Is Firm Because Of The Pillar
Their silent sorrow enveloped the cemetery. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was like a huge rock that kept pressing down. The cold air enveloped everyone as they cried.
J5’s parents weren’t as emotional as yesterday. The white-haired old mother touched J5’s photo on the tombstone again and again with her rough hands. “Son, your comrades are here to send you off. You have to bless them with their safety, understand?
“Even though you’ve left, your comrades are still alive. You have to bless them. Bless them well.”
She had cried too much. Her voice was so hoarse that every word was unclear. Even so, all the soldiers from the Xueyu unit standing in front of the tombstone heard her.
When Major General Yang put on his military cap, he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and said to Ye Jian, “Little Ye, go and help Aunt up…” It was time to go down the mountain. If they stayed any longer, the elderly’s bodies wouldn’t be able to take it.
The two elders didn’t stay any longer. They insisted on rushing back to their house today.
They didn’t want anything. They didn’t even want the country’s pension. They just wanted the military uniform that J5 wore when he was alive and the daily necessities that he used. They even kept his toothbrush carefully.
Before getting into the car, the two elders insisted on shaking hands with their son’s former comrades. They reminded everyone to live well and be safe. They also said that their families were still waiting for them to go home for the new year…
Plain words were the most touching. This group of young soldiers waited for the two elders to leave in the car before secretly wiping their tears.
Why J5 was sacrificed became an eternal secret, and his deeds were destined to not be known by others. J5 was like many martyrs. He would not be recorded in history and would not become a hero that everyone knew.
He didn’t leave behind earth-shattering words or engraved words. When he was alive, he was a special forces soldier that no one knew about. After he was sacrificed, he laid in this world quietly just like when he was alive.
Not many people would know about his past. Not many people would know about his past bravery. Those who knew all this were his comrades. They would always remember him in their hearts and never forget him!
After sending J5 off, Ye Jian fell sick before she could leave the capital city. Her appearance frightened her comrades. One second ago, she was fine. The next second, she suddenly fainted. It was followed by a high fever that couldn’t subside no matter what.
Pigeon and the rest still needed to continue their training. They couldn’t take care of Ye Jian at all. Before they left, Ye Jian was still unconscious on the bed.
Ye Jian didn’t know why she got sick. When she was awake, Commander Xia was beside her.
Commander Xia, who had never been so nervous before, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Jian waking up. She was finally awake.
Ye Jian, who had been unconscious for a day and a night, woke up only to see Commander Xia. It was a serious meeting and a meeting to cleanse her soul.
“Little Ye, remember this. None of us will forget J5’s sacrifice or his past. He used his sacrifice to exchange for years of peace and the reunion of thousands of families. Even if no one knows, he’s still a hero in everyone’s hearts. He’ll be praised for generations and be admired and missed by the world.
“The mountains are strong because of the ridges, and the houses are firm because of the pillars. The country stands tall because of heroes. All the heroes who sacrificed for the country will not be forgotten! You’ll remember him, I’ll remember him, and our comrades will remember him. J5 remembered you before he died too. Little Ye, this is what’s meant by eternity!”
