Chapter 236
After breakfast, Xu Di prepared to go to school.
"Mom, don't forget to send the tape to Dad."
When Yuanyuan saw that her mother was about to leave, she quickly gave her some instructions.
"I know. I've put it in the bag. I'll send it after mom sends my sister off."
Xu Di patted his bag to reassure the children.
"Goodbye, Mom. Ride carefully."
Yuanyuan knew that her mother had the tape, so she felt relieved, waved and said goodbye to her mother.
Xu Di hummed a song and sent Nuannuan to school.
Seeing that there was still time, I went to the post office first.
After checking the items and paying the postage, Xu Di quickly rode towards the teaching building.
"Xu Di, hurry up, the professor will be in soon."
"Here I am, here I am. I just went to the post office to mail the tape. I hadn't left the house this morning. Yuanyuan kept reminding me not to forget to mail the tape."
Thinking of his little girl, Xu Di also felt like laughing.
"Round and cute!"
Bai Weiwei likes Yuanyuan the most. She feels very relaxed when she is with her.
The little girl was chattering away, with endless topics to talk about. Her voice was clear and it was pleasant to listen to.
"The professor is coming in, stop talking."
Liu Yun had already seen the professor, the most powerful one in their Faculty of Arts.
The classroom immediately fell silent. The students quieted down on their own accord and no one talked nonsense.
Xu Di felt that the university campus at that time was a real place for learning. There were not so many people just wasting time. Everyone was holding back their energy and studying very hard.
I spent the whole day studying hard, taking notes, and digesting what the professor said.
At the same time, at the military base where Zhang Chaoyang was stationed, his comrades who had returned from the south together began to develop different symptoms of varying severity, but the common symptom was that they were unable to sleep at night.
"Captain, this is not a solution. People cannot live without sleep.
Over time, it will affect their physical health. ”
The military doctor at the base also returned from studying abroad. Although he is only in his early thirties, he has good medical skills.
"I know. I have the same problem myself. Now, let's find a way to solve the problem of not being able to sleep first."
Zhang Chaoyang has experienced more than them and has a more stable mentality. Otherwise, looking at such a scene, as a husband and a father, his condition would be even worse.
"I know, but there is no good method right now. Music, hypnosis, and chatting are all ineffective."
Ouyang Rui also had a headache. He studied abroad in Moscow and had come across many cases of post-war stress reactions. However, he had not seen many cases like this one. Those were pregnant women and children, and most people would not be able to bear it psychologically.
Zhang Chaoyang was also anxious. So many soldiers could not be killed.
Among them are excellent snipers, the most powerful scouts...
Ouyang Rui began to flip through the book again, hoping to find other ways to treat his comrades.
At night, Zhang Chaoyang woke up from a nightmare and looked at the time. It was a little after one in the morning.
Lying in bed, he kept his eyes open until dawn and never fell asleep again.
After morning exercises, he found Ouyang Rui again to see if he had any new progress.
"Captain, I tried another method yesterday. The results were not ideal, but there was some improvement."
"It's good to have changes, but I'm afraid of standing still or regressing."
Zhang Chaoyang felt relieved, but he was also anxious.
"Captain, there's your package."
"From my family?"
"Yes, some clothes, food, and a tape. Captain, your daughter is amazing. She can sing, play the erhu, and give speeches. It's really nice to listen to her."
They have strict control over the foundation, and any foreign objects must be strictly inspected.
"What tape?"
Ouyang Rui felt inexplicably excited. It sounded comfortable. How comfortable was it?
"My child recorded it for me, singing nursery rhymes and stuff." Zhang Chaoyang took the tape out of the package, rubbed it in his hand, and felt very happy.
"Captain, would you mind playing it?"
"I don't mind, but I don't have a tape recorder." Zhang Chaoyang also wanted to listen. He had never heard his daughter sing or play the erhu.
"Captain, I'll get it."
The soldier who had just come in ran out again to look for the tape recorder.
"Captain, I got it."
Ouyang Rui took it, put the tape in, and pressed the play button.
"Little pine tree, grow up quickly
Green leaves new buds
The sun and rain nourish it
..."
The round and clear singing voice makes people feel inexplicably relaxed.
One song after another, after the nursery rhymes, there was music played by the erhu, and after that, there was the sonorous and powerful recitation, the well-known "On Youthful China".
Zhang Chaoyang closed his eyes and listened to the child's voice. The bloody images were no longer in his mind.
Later, there were the sounds of chickens crowing, dogs barking, grandma's voice, Aunt Wu's, and finally Xu Di's voice.
"Chaoyang, I'm Xu Di. You've worked hard. I don't know what you've been through for so long, but I know it must have been very difficult.
I hope you are all safe and sound. You sacrifice your own families for the safety of our country. You are amazing heroes and heroes in my heart.
You protect the mountains and rivers, and I protect you.
We will be waiting for you to come back home and be your lifelong guardian. ”
Ouyang Rui's eyes were moist, but he was not sad. Instead, he felt relaxed and happy.
Especially when I hear the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking, as well as the earnest advice of the elderly, a feeling of happiness arises spontaneously.
"Ouyang, I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
It was the first time that Zhang Chaoyang felt sleepy since he came back and wanted to sleep.
"Captain, let's go to your dormitory with the recorder."
Doctor Ouyang was eager to give it a try. If the captain could really fall asleep and not wake up, it would prove that this treatment was effective.
Henry Zhang and Dr. Ouyang Rui went to Henry Zhang's dormitory, turned on the switch, and a round voice came from it.
Accompanied by the sound of the child, Zhang Chaoyang fell asleep quickly.
Ouyang Rui did not leave. He sat on a chair in the dormitory, listening to the children's singing, music, and reading until his sister-in-law stopped talking.
Zhang Chaoyang has entered a deep sleep. Long-term insomnia has caused him to be severely sleep deprived.
Dr. Ouyang played it three more times before turning off the recorder.
Listening to the captain's long breathing, he knew that he was really asleep.
Another hour passed, and Zhang Chaoyang still hadn't woken up, nor did he show any signs of having a nightmare.
"You watch here and see when the captain wakes up. Don't make any noise and observe carefully."
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed."
Zhang Chaoyang's guard saluted and watched Dr. Ouyang leave.
Holding the tape recorder, Dr. Ouyang went to the dormitories of several other soldiers.
Due to post-war stress reactions, they temporarily stopped training and looked for ways to help them recover.
"Doctor Ouyang, come here, please give us some sleeping medicine. It's so uncomfortable and I have a headache."
As soon as Li Peng saw Dr. Ouyang, he quickly asked him to prescribe some medicine as he was feeling so uncomfortable.
"You all lie down on the bed, I'll give you something to listen to to calm your mood."
"Is it music again? We don't understand it either."
Li Peng muttered something, but still obeyed the order and lay down on the bed.
Seeing that everyone was lying down, Dr. Ouyang pressed the play button.
"Little pine tree, grow up quickly
Green leaves new buds
The sun and rain nourish it
Grow up quickly
Grow up quickly
kid
Grow up quickly
Like a pine tree sprouting new leaves
The children's cheerful singing slowly flowed out and flowed into the hearts of the soldiers.
"The singing is so beautiful, it warms my heart."
"This song is also nice. I also want to have a daughter like this!"
"This is the sound of the erhu. The old man in our village can play the erhu. I have heard this."
…
As time goes by, the sound and content of the tapes change.
The soldiers' facial expressions gradually relaxed and their eyelids slowly closed.
Doctor Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stool, and played the tape over and over again until he became sleepy.
The innocent voices of children, the caring voices of elders, the loving voices of lovers, as well as the common sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking in homes, these are all sounds that represent peace.
