It’s already the beginning of winter.
The Capital is cold and the wind is howling from the north.
Jason, Ben, Andres, Jack, He Ashton, Mickey, and one other Dragon Shade Warriors stood in a line in front of Jimmy’s headstone, with Jason at the head of the line, and stared at Jimmy’s headstone.
Swish!
Jason and the others gave a neat military salute, and the eyes of several were reddened.
A comrade in arms for a moment, a brother for life!
Every fallen comrade, they will not forget, only engraved in the heart, with their faith with their unyielding will to continue to move forward, continue to fulfill the duties and obligations given by the uniform.
Perhaps this is the best way to honor the memory of a fallen comrade.
Comrade in arms, you are no longer there, but you live in my heart, and we are still together side by side in every battle in the future!
As Old Mr. Pepper said, each headstone here represents a soldier who died for his country, who has fallen into the ground, but whose spirit lives on and inspires the living!
“Jimmy, it’s Jason. I’m here to see you. I’ve brought your parents and Cillian with me, Uncle Page, Aunt Page, they’re all doing well, Cillian is also very good, and now she’s already enrolled in the university of her choice. You can rest easy on the other side, your unfinished business and your duty as the eldest son and brother of the family, I am here, and there are also Ben, Andres, Jack and other brothers here. In the next life, if you don’t mind, we will still be brothers!”
Jason spoke slowly, his eyes were also a little red, and his vision was a little hazy underneath his blinking.
Bradley, Marion in accordance with the custom, in front of the grave incense, burned some paper money, the tombstone in front of some fruit snacks tea, they are silent, this moment they seem to have aged ten years like.
Cillian was pale, the tears in her eyes had dried bitterly, and she seemed as if she were a little unsteady on her feet; Sally was holding her close.
Sally also burst out sobbing, the self-reproach and guilt in her heart peaked at this moment, her whole heart was like a knife, it hurt so much.
Mary and Dark Phoniex also came forward to lay flowers, they didn’t speak, but they had also experienced too much life and death, so they empathized and understood the kind of feelings that Bradley’s family was feeling at the moment.
Wolf Boy pursed his lips like a wounded wolf.
Wolf Boy’s feelings may not have been great, but watching Cillian be so sad and so disoriented was very hard on his own heart.
“Cillian, do you blame Sally? Your brother wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t tried to rescue me.”
Sally spoke in a guilty tone.
As she hugged Cillian, she had briefly told the story of the original Amazon operation so that Cillian would know how her brother had been sacrificed.
Cillian’s face looks more sorrowful than the heart of death, she had thought that the Capital will welcome the return of her brother, who had thought that waiting for a goodbye, even her brother did not see the last side, to see only the cold tombstone.
The contrast is so vastly different that no one else would be able to accept it, would find it hard to bear.
“I don’t blame you or Jason, I don’t blame anyone. In fact, I should have thought about it, I just never wanted to think about it in that way. From the day my brother became a soldier, I thought that maybe one day my brother would face this end. All I can do is pray for my brother every day, pray for him to be safe, pray for him to be safe … My brother used to say that a deserter on the battlefield is not a true warrior. Now that he’s gone, it proves that he’s a real soldier and I should be proud of him. But my heart really hurts, it hurts … Sally, I really hurt, oooooooh!”
Cillian broke off, crying as she spoke, her hands and feet even colder.
The tombstone in front of her eyes, this brutal truth, was like a knife that was cutting her heart so hard that it was dripping blood.
“Cillian, everything is going to be okay. You still have your parents, and me, and your Jason, and so many of your comrades around your brother, we’ll all be there for you.”
Sally said through clenched teeth.
“Sally, I’d like to come up a bit.” Cillian said.
Sally hurriedly helped Cillian to walk to the tombstone, Cillian stroked every inch of the tombstone and softly murmured, “Brother, I’m your Shi-Shi, can you hear me now? If you can hear me, can you dream for me at night later? I am really sad, even desperate. But you had told me that no matter when you have to learn to be strong and learn to be independent, I will listen to you and try my best to be what you expect me to be …”
North wind whistling, the wind, vaguely came from a young girl dreaming murmur, murmur sound with the wind drifting away, but also do not know whether it can be brought to the other side of the world.
…
Armed Forces Base.
When it got dark in the evening, Jason and the others left the Martyrs’ Cemetery and took a bus back into the Armed Forces base.
Old Mr. Pepper had put Jason and the rest of his party up for the night.
There are also accommodation buildings for hospitality in the Armed Forces base, which are also much safer to stay in.
If Jason and Old Mr. Miller were the only ones on the trip, Old Mr. Pepper would have put them straight into the military district.
But there are other people present, the military district important place, idle people naturally can not just enter.
Old Mr. Pepper knew that Old Mr. Miller was coming over, and he naturally wanted to meet this old friend whom he had not seen for many years. Out of consideration for Old Mr. Pepper’s safety, the base of the Armed Forces was chosen as the place of accommodation under a comprehensive approach.
By the time we got back to the Armed Forces base, dinner was on the table and Old Mr. Pepper, Old Mr. Miller, Jason and others sat around a table and started eating.
At the table, Cillian was sullen and had little appetite; she took two mouthfuls of rice and some soup before saying she couldn’t eat any more, and returned straight to her lodgings.
The Bradleys could only shake their heads and sigh at the sight.
Sally was about to get up to go after Cillian when Marion said, “Sally, why don’t you sit down and eat. Leave Cillian alone first. Later, I’ll take some more food to her room.”
“Yes!”
Sally nodded.
This reaction from Cillian was to be expected from Jason and the others, but the thing that made the situation slightly better was that Cillian didn’t do anything overly aggressive and acted strong enough.
It just takes some time to get out of your mind, I’m afraid.
“Uncle Page, Aunt Page, you guys eat more. jimmy may be gone, but both we and Jason will treat you as if you were our own parents, so feel free to call on us if you need anything in the future.” Ben opened his mouth and said.
“Good, good, Jimmy was blessed to have you all as comrades. We have no more regrets about coming over this time and being able to look at Jimmy’s tombstone.” Bradley said.
Marion nodded back.
For them, although Jimmy’s death is sad, but there has always been Jason, Sally’s care and concern, and see Jimmy so many liver and gallant comrades, and even Old Mr. Pepper such a big man in the military region of condolences, they are very touched, and the heart is also for Jimmy feel proud and proud.
