Chapter 68 The Battle Five Years Ago



Li Xia kissed An An's face several times, which made An An a little dazed, but he didn't hate his mother for doing this.

And her ears were red as she thought, Mom really loves him! She also kept praising him for being cute!

Hehe, I'm so happy!

After making the honey water, Gu Weicheng walked in and saw his wife hugging his son and kissing him. Why didn't his wife kiss him?

He quickly hugged Li Xia and coaxed her, "Come and drink some honey water."

After drinking the honey water, Li Xia felt much better. Or maybe it was because she was too comfortable lying in bed, so she fell asleep.

Knowing that Li Xia liked cleanliness, Gu Weicheng brought some hot water, wiped Li Xia's body, and changed her into pajamas.

Gu Weicheng looked at Li Xia who was sleeping. She was so beautiful that he seemed to never be able to look at her enough.

Go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning.

Li Xia woke up at five o'clock the next day.

She saw herself lying on the bed with her clothes changed, and she guessed that it was Gu Weicheng, the snail girl, who did it.

However, her memory of yesterday was a little fuzzy, and she didn't expect that she would get drunk so easily. Last night... she shouldn't have done anything that she shouldn't have done, right?

When Li Xia thought about herself getting drunk and acting crazy in front of her colleagues, her face turned red and she quickly covered her face with her hands.

Gu Weicheng heard the noise from her side and guessed that she had woken up: "Are you awake? Do you feel better? Does your headache hurt?"

Li Xia shook her head. She didn't feel any discomfort. "It doesn't hurt. I just can't remember what happened yesterday. I didn't do anything bad, did I?"

The last sentence was spoken in a much softer voice, obviously feeling guilty.

Thinking about what happened last night, Gu Weicheng felt both angry and amused.

He said in a deep voice: "Done."

"Ah." Li Xia was anxious, but afraid of waking An An, so she could only ask in a low and anxious voice, "What's the matter? This is so embarrassing."

She prayed that she would not do something like standing on the table and singing, which would be too embarrassing.

Gu Weicheng chuckled: "Last night you insisted that I was Aunt Xiaomei, saying that I was good-looking, and you even hugged An An and kissed her non-stop."

After hearing what Gu Weicheng said, Li Xia covered her face with her hands. The person involved expressed regret, great regret.

Gu Weicheng immediately said seriously: "Don't drink casually in the future."

Li Xia immediately agreed: "I won't drink anymore, I won't drink even if you kill me."

Gu Weicheng didn't say anything, but in fact, they could still drink when they were alone.

He also liked the way she looked drunk.

Neither of them felt sleepy at the moment. Li Xia thought of the battle five years ago that the commander had mentioned yesterday.

Gu Weicheng was promoted twice in a row. Behind this great honor, he must have paid an unbearable price that ordinary people could not bear.

"Weicheng, tell me about the battle five years ago. I want to hear it." Li Xia said.

The battle five years ago...

Gu Weicheng’s thoughts were pulled back to five years ago.

He was just a battalion commander at the time. The battle was difficult to fight. There was a spy in the army who secretly gave their battle plan to the enemy, causing them to be ambushed and suffer heavy casualties.

At that time, the enemy had already occupied their base, but Gu Weicheng knew that they had buried detonators under their base in order to prevent them from taking countermeasures after the base was occupied.

In order to cover Gu Weicheng, his comrades went to detonate the detonator, but were blown to pieces by the mines thrown by the enemy, leaving no intact body.

He was hit by a bullet in the back, but he detonated the detonator before falling to the ground. All the enemies in the base were killed, and the battle was turned around.

But the price was heavy.

It is the result of the deaths of countless comrades.

Even Gu Weicheng himself was shot by a bullet that pierced his body from the back, and the doctor said it was just a little bit away from hitting his heart.

He was in the emergency room for three full days and stayed in the intensive care unit for another month before being transferred to the general ward.

After he recovered, he applied to the army and went to his comrade's hometown, Daxi Village, to visit his comrade's parents and handed the pension to them personally.

He also gave them his own bonus of more than 1,000 yuan.

"After that battle, I was promoted twice and became the youngest regiment commander in the army. But I was not very happy because I knew that my honor was not just mine. It was earned with the blood of countless comrades. I saw with my own eyes that a comrade who had fought with me through thick and thin was blown to pieces. I couldn't even collect his body if I wanted to."

When he said this, the voice of this man who usually had a tall and majestic image, and seemed to be fearless and nothing could stump him, actually trembled a little.

It's not that I'm afraid of war, but I feel heartbroken for the comrades who died.

He failed to protect them.

Li Xia has always known that war is cruel, but because she lived in an era when her motherland was peaceful and prosperous, such cruelty was far away from her.

After hearing what Gu Weicheng said, she could feel the pain in his heart. Li Xia gently stroked Gu Weicheng's back and found the scar.

This is where the bullet hole once passed.

"Weicheng, this is not your fault. Your comrades were already prepared to sacrifice when they made this choice. Just like you, you chose to detonate the detonator, which was actually the most dangerous behavior. You should have been ready to sacrifice your life for the motherland at any time, right?

Put yourself in their shoes. If you were the one who died, would you blame your comrades for not being able to save you? I think you would definitely want to protect the other person at the last moment and want him to be alive and complete the mission, right?

Then, your comrade must have the same idea as you. He is happy that you are still alive and one less person was sacrificed. When you go up on the stage to receive praise, he may be applauding you in heaven. "

This has always been the pain that Gu Weicheng has hidden deep in his heart.

When he was first rescued, he always had dreams, in which he wanted to save his comrades countless times.

He has been blaming himself.

But Li Xia's words made him relax a lot.

Maybe she was right. If he was the one who died, he would definitely hope that his comrades could live well.

Li Xia's voice is soft and gentle, like the rustling of drizzle, but very powerful.

It made Gu Weicheng feel at ease.

Li Xia opened her arms and tightly hugged the man in front of her who was much taller than her.

She knew that many soldiers suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. They were tall and brave, and seemed to be omnipotent, but they also needed hugs and caresses.

In this quiet morning, the couple had a heart-to-heart conversation.
