When Shuo Yu fell down, he looked along the lookout where Fan La had just been, at the Nantianmen, which he could no longer see. He thought, this time I can finally stop being afraid of you, because no one will die because of you anymore.
When the veterinarian was finally caught by Fanla in a hurry, he saw a pale Shuoyu lying in the bloody mud. Before examining him, the doctor forgot all his professional skills and called out in front of Shuoyu's face like a father calling his son,
"Son, what's wrong with you? Son, wake up! Don't scare your dad! Toad, my son, my son, open your eyes and look!"
Fanla saw Banxian lying on the ground without being cured. The one who cured him went crazy first. He slapped his head. He looked at the old man calling Banxian his son. It didn't look like he was taking advantage of him. He knew that Banxian often called the old man dad.
Meng Annoyed turned around and called out to Bu La to pull the old man away, thinking that this time it was over.
He had no choice but to let Ayi take people to take Banxianer to his own place first, and then make plans after the veterinarian woke up.
Shuo Yu fainted and didn't know anything. He just felt like he had a very long sleep. In his dream, he saw a different story.
In that story, among the pile of dead bodies in Zenda, there was no half-immortal waiting to be picked up by a kind-hearted old man. Instead, there was a rat spirit with a dead face pretending to follow a little old man in burying the dead. The rat spirit and the old doctor ran between the graves.
The cannon fodder were about to be reorganized. Every deserter had to pass the old man's inspection before being added to the roster. He saw Fanla's rat-faced face viciously threatening the veterinarian with the limited food, saying he would starve his wounded to death and go to Burma. For his lame leg, his soul floated beside Fanla, looking at the veterinarian's cloudy eyes glistening with tears. He wanted to say that this was not the case, Fanla was not that kind of person...
He saw Li Wula who was used as a target and shot to death by the Japanese army in Burma, Yao Ma who was shot in the head by a Japanese monkey hanging on a tree when he was a vanguard, Dayan who died in the first charge on Nantianmen, Kang Ya who was shot in the lung and wanted to eat Shanxi sheep noodles, and bean cakes that were dropped into the Nujiang River by the fleeing soldiers who had no choice but to flee... He wanted to hold on to every face he knew. He even stood in front of them when the bullets were fired. The physical bullets passed through his invisible body, whether he wanted to or not.
Death is just a matter of a moment, it doesn't mean anything, only our longing for them, that's all.
He wanted to say that they shouldn't die, they should live on, live on, and then do something meaningful like going to the toilet, eating, and taking a walk.
He saw Fanla's left shoulder, which was pierced by a bullet, being skewered like lamb by the veterinarian on the west coast. He heard Fanla fainting during the dressing changes again and again. He looked at the guy who wanted to poison everyone with the sound of his mouth, and wrote an epitaph for the veterinarian that he had accomplished nothing. It was really very mean.
He saw the veterinarian was hit by a sudden artillery fire from the west bank and died. He said, I died of grief.
On the bank of the surging Nujiang River, Shuo Yu floated beside the old man. He wanted to raise those always warm hands, but they passed through him again and again, and he could do nothing. He didn't know why things turned out like this, he just continued to float, not knowing when all this would end.
He saw that the regiment commander, who had already stopped wanting to fight, was about to take the cannon fodder to Nantianmen again. On a foggy day, the elite of the Yu Division and the cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army were mixed together. He looked at the "Stop Attack" card in Yu Xiaoqing's hand. When he saw those four words, Shuo Yu knew that all the guys staying at Nantianmen would be abandoned. This was for the overall situation.
He saw Ah Yi's rare courage as he rushed to the tree fort with the remaining people who were willing to go, including the whole nation's assistance. He saw Yu Zhi finally speak a word of truth and questioned his respected commander for the first time, saying, "We are not selling him out, are we?"
Yu Xiaoqing said nothing. This time, Nantianmen helped him get the title of army commander.
He saw those thirty-eight days: Bu La lost a leg, but skipped and sang all the way back to Hunan; Master Mai was crucified like Jesus, dying in a foreign land; He Shuguang became "He Shaoguang"; Zhang Lixian lost half his face and his faith; Big Beard also died in a Japanese charge; Snake Butt died together with several Japanese devils who wanted to drag him into a cave...
Shuo Yu knelt in front of the big tree at the South Gate of Heaven, looking at the sky. There was nothing there, really nothing. He saw nothing, not the illusory gods or the souls of the dead. There was nothing but himself.
He saw Milong die in the hands of the regiment commander in order to protect his family. He watched his own regiment commander shout "Commander, please let me lead the Communist Party's troops to defeat the Japanese invaders!" when he was awarded the medal. Thus, the hero became a sinner, and was finally killed by the "lucky bullet" hanging around his neck. Then, Clauber was a step slower and caught up with their regiment commander.
Shuo Yu's soul was watching from the side, watching all this happen. He could do nothing, so he just watched. He really wished he couldn't see anything.
He saw that the Death Star took his brother back to Sichuan. Fanla and they went west and then north, which was bound to fail. Youth would definitely defeat old age. The young soldier who soared into the clouds and created fog captured a regimental commander. The annoying Fanla became the 600th of the Seventh Company. He watched as the guy learned to talk to the dead, but he still saw nothing.
