Chapter 16 I Don't Envy Others

Cahalman Martyrs Cemetery.

Ge Xianzhi had his upper body naked, his right hand tiled knife, bricks on the left and right, and he was pasted with a layer of cement and bricks. He wanted to build a house here, and he lived here for the rest of his life, with his brothers.

The few people who helped him live cement were also shirtless and threw their military uniforms on the Gobi Desert at will, with two bars with all the military ranks on it.

"Chief of Staff, go back, the location is always reserved for you, just waiting for you to come back." said an officer.

"Ahem cough cough..."

Ge Xianzhi let out a violent cough, slowly put down the tile knife in his hand and turned around, revealing his weak body compared to the other party.

His temples were gray and his back was slightly slim. His former explosive muscles and his lion-like body had long disappeared, replaced by pathological thinness.

"I can't go back anymore. I have forgotten how to command, how to kill, and even more... I have forgotten anyway, and I can't live long, so I let me chat with my brothers here, reminisce about the past, and finally reunite with them."

Ge Xianzhi waved his hand and slowly turned around to continue building the wall. He didn't go back eighteen years ago, and it is even more impossible for him to go back now.

Now he is no longer the same as before.

Several officers wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't make a sound and worked hard to live cement.

...

Ge Zhen is here.

"dad!"

Ge Zhen stood behind Ge Xianzhi and took a deep breath of the unique sand and wind on the Gobi Desert to calm his emotions.

For him, all this came too suddenly. He was the father of a miner at home, and he transformed himself into a soldier.

"Son." Ge Xianzhi threw down the things in his hand, put on his clothes, and smiled lovingly at Ge Zhen: "When you come here to see me, it means that your original life trajectory has been completely changed."

Ge Zhen pursed his lips hard, his eyes flushed. He didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to face his current father with his attitude.

"Let's go, let's go around our cemetery."

"Um."

The father and son walked into the cemetery one after another, starting their true conversation for eighteen years. As Ge Xianzhi said, when Ge Zhen came here, his fate would undergo a fundamental change.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Ge Zhen, who was walking in front, coughed from time to time, Ge Zhen, who was following behind, looked at him with a distress, and somehow a burst of anger rose in his heart.

"Why are you running around?" Ge Zhen suddenly shouted: "I can't find you when I go home, and I thought you were dead. I'm making money to treat you, but you disappeared without saying a word. What's the matter? Are you wrong?!"

The roar came very abruptly, but the sound was very loud, and it reached the ears of the officers at the entrance of the cemetery, which made them stunned.

The Chief of Staff was scolded?

"Wrong." Ge Xianzhi nodded, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

The officers were even more stunned. The only survivor was scolded by his son and was still accepting it sincerely.

In their impression, no one dared to scold Ge Xianzhi, and even those with high positions and power never scolded him.

"Wrong?" Ge Zhen snatched the cigarette and threw it on the ground and stepped hard: "She still smokes? You still smoke it in the late stage of pneumoconiosis? You can still smoke it? She will kill you!"

"Haha, don't suck, don't suck." Ge Xianzhi smiled.

Faced with such a man, Ge Zhen didn't know what to say, but this is his man. Since he was twelve years old, he took care of his man's life.

Ge Xianzhi favored this son, and this son was his lifeblood.

"Is this my mother?" Ge Zhen took out the two photos.

In an instant, Ge Xianzhi's eyes fell on the photo, and he slowly stretched out his right hand and gently stroked it, his eyes full of infatuation and guilt.

He smiled, and was smiling bitterly.

"Yes, this is your mother, Hu Qinglan is your mother..."

Hearing this sentence, Ge Zhen finally confirmed that Hu Hailang's sister-in-law was his mother. He could send a ghost to the point where he could enter, but it was caused by the blood thicker than water.

"Can you tell me?" Ge Zhen asked in a low voice.

Ge Xianzhi slowly turned around and sighed deeply, his eyes filled with guilt, and there were two kinds of guilt, one was guilty towards Hu Qinglan, and the other was guilty towards his son.

"Take her, we all have to die; throw her down, you can live. I choose to throw her down and let you live..."

When he said this, Ge Xianzhi's painful face was twitching, tears rolled in his eyes, and slowly flowed down his cheeks.

"My mother is a vegetable now, she can't live for a few years!" Ge Zhen said angrily, reaching out to grab his father's shoulder and pulling him over: "Why don't you go--"

He was only halfway through his words, and he stayed there: My dad cried...

In my memory, my father is a mountain. In the 18 years of ups and downs, even if he bent over by life, he will always be as stable as Mount Tai.

Tears made Ge Zhen unable to connect with his father, especially after knowing that his father was a soldier, he would not even have any associations.

"dad……"

"I can't bring your mother back. It's me who left her behind, and I can't let her live for so many years. I'm waiting, waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to make a choice-" Ge Xianzhi stretched out his rough hand and wiped his face and said, "Everyone thought that the soldier Ge Xianzhi was omnipotent, and I once regarded myself as a god, but in the end I found myself just a small person, just like everyone else. I could only watch the brothers around me die one by one, and I could only throw my beloved woman down and let her die..."

The helplessness revealed by these words makes people sad. No matter how powerful a person is, he is just a human being. If he is a human being, he has to choose, and if he is a human being, he has to accept the fate after the choice.

"Son, do you think I'm strong?" Ge Xianzhi asked as he looked at Ge Zhen's eyes.

"have no idea……"

Ge Zhen shook his head. He really didn't know whether his father was strong or not.

If you say that you are powerful, then the strength lies in the fact that you are broken, and you will be thrown away from your wife and protect your children; if you say that you are not strong, then you cannot control your own destiny at all, and you cannot guarantee the safety of your wife and children.

Is it right to throw away your wife and protect your son? Is it better to die for all three people, or is it better to die for one to survive for two?

Perhaps Ge Zhen would have scolded such a father in the past, but after seeing the cruelty of the battlefield, he couldn't figure out whether this was right or wrong.

"My mother must love me very much, right?" Ge Zhen sucked his nose and made a choking voice: "It's her willing to give up her life in exchange for my survival, right?"

"She loves you very much, she loves you with her whole life! I don't want to give up. At worst, the family will die together, but your mother shot herself and put herself to death...just to protect you..."

Ge Zhen burst into tears: I don’t envy others anymore... I don’t envy others anymore... I have a mother who loves me the most...
