At the foot of Changbai Mountain, the headquarters of the 345th Regiment.
The night enveloped the camp, which was surrounded by rolling mountains that cast shadows in the moonlight, as if hiding countless secrets.
The bonfire was burning fiercely and crackling, and sparks occasionally flew into the night sky and quickly disappeared.
The game on the fire was sizzling and emitting an enticing aroma that filled the entire camp.
Although there are not as many fancy seasonings and cooking methods as in later generations.
But simply brushing it with a little oil and grilling it is already considered a top-notch delicacy for people of this era.
The camp was filled with a cheerful atmosphere as everyone sat around the campfire, enjoying this rare delicious food and pleasant time.
"Wow! This venison is so delicious, tender and fragrant."
Sure enough, Chen Jing, who had just felt sorry for the poor deer, was now eating more happily than anyone else.
Her mouth was stuffed full, her cheeks were puffy, and she was holding a piece of venison tightly in her hand. Her eyes were narrowed into slits, and she looked intoxicated.
"Sister Xiaojing, look at you, you are saying one thing and thinking another."
Xu Xiaoyun also took a bite of the roasted venison and teased her with a smile.
Xu Xiaoyun had two ponytails. In the light of the fire, her cheeks were rosy and her smile was particularly bright.
"Go to hell! Xiaoyun, I...I really felt sorry for that sika deer at that time.
But now... there's nothing I can do!
Its meat is so delicious that I feel sorry for it in my heart, but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying such delicious food!
If I don't eat it, will it come back to life?"
Chen Jing's twisted logic formed a sharp contrast with her usually quiet and taciturn personality.
She was chewing venison while speaking confidently and gesticulating with her hands from time to time, making everyone present laugh.
All the people present burst into laughter immediately. As the leader of their group, Xu Xiaodong was gnawing on a roe deer leg and eating it with relish.
Seeing Chen Jing like this, he also said happily:
"Uncle Chen was against you coming out to play with us before!
If he sees how cheerful and lively you are now, he will definitely not object next time."
Xu Xiaodong was wearing a thick military coat, he had a tall figure and a gentle smile on his face. The firelight danced on his face, reflecting his well-defined features.
Yes!
Because Chen Jing's mother had just passed away, the young adult Chen Jing was devastated. She was depressed all day and locked herself in her room all day.
At that time, Chen Jing's room always had the curtains drawn and the light was dim. She sat quietly in front of the window with empty eyes, as if she had lost her passion for life.
This made her father, General Chen, very distressed, and he even found one of the few psychologists in the country to counsel Chen Jing.
The doctors sat opposite Chen Jing, patiently asking her about her feelings and trying to ease her worries, but Chen Jing remained silent and only responded briefly occasionally.
But this was the pain of losing her mother. The psychologist tried his best, but there was no way to make Chen Jing cheerful again.
However... just when Chen Jing was gradually becoming depressed due to sadness, her best friend Xu Xiaoyun came to visit her at home with a newly published copy of "Poetry Magazine".
Xu Xiaoyun gently pushed open Chen Jing's door and saw Chen Jing curled up on the sofa with a dull look in her eyes.
She sat beside Chen Jing with heartache, opened the "Poetry Magazine", and softly recited the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom".
The opening song, "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", was like a spring breeze, immediately awakening Chen Jing's dead heart.
Those beautiful and hopeful verses were like the soft spring rain, watering Chen Jing's dry heart.
Chen Jing's originally dim eyes gradually brightened up. She sat up straight and listened carefully to Xu Xiaoyun reciting poetry, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness.
It immediately pulled her out of her deep sorrow. Chen Jing fell in love with this poem and admired the poet Zhong Yuejin who wrote this poem even more.
So... when she later heard that Xu Xiaodong, Zhao Mengsheng and others were going to visit the Northeast and look for the great poet Zhong Yuejin who wrote "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", she, who had always been introverted and not very sociable, immediately took the initiative to ask to join.
This made her father look puzzled, wondering if his daughter had changed her gender?
Usually, the ruffians from the compound would ask her to go ice skating at Shichahai, but she never agreed once.
How come this time, even though they went so far to the Northeast without even inviting her, she took the initiative to ask to join after she knew about it?
It was icy and snowy here, and the Northeast was not a peaceful place, and the people there were quite tough. General Chen would naturally not allow his precious daughter to take the risk.
However... my daughter, who has always been obedient, tried to build a false front to attack Chencang secretly this time.
On the surface, he promised his father that he would not go, but secretly he had already prepared his luggage and belongings, and when the time came, he quietly slipped away.
He left a letter without asking for permission first, then followed Xu Xiaodong and others and boarded the green train heading north.
The train was clanging along the tracks, and the scenery outside the window was passing by quickly. Chen Jing sat by the window, looking into the distance, feeling both expectant and nervous. She didn't know what kind of surprises this journey would bring her.
“Going out to play can really relax you.
In fact, compared to the ice and snow all over the sky, I would rather go to the south to see the vast and boundless ocean.
Just like what Zhong Yuejin wrote in his poem, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, what a beautiful thing it is! ”
