Chapter Thirteen The Emergence of Memory
During sleep, Gou Bin dreamed that he lived in a farm with mountains, grass and cattle and sheep everywhere, a warm farm hut, a small village in Paris, Arkansas, Cruze is a country man in Paris. His father died in the battlefield during the death of World War I, and his mother died of serious illness and left him alone. This uneasy world is left alone.
In the dream, the young Cruze lived a carefree life. There was no sound of war-torn shells here, there was only the kind and harmonious laughter of the village, no gloomy pictures of corpses, some were the cheerful laughter of beautiful girls, and the sound of cattle and sheep eating grass in herds.
A faint melody filled the entire mountain village. Ryan, an old man with a very charitable and friendly face, was all due to his help and growth when both Cruze's parents died, and this old man also had an incredible musical talent.
In my memory, this old man specially made tear-jerking music. Gou Bin's predecessor Cruze was deceived by him for a lot of tears. Every time he made the sorrowful and tear-jerking music, Cruze was shamelessly deceived by him, which was embarrassing! In the end, this old guy Ryan laughed shamelessly, and he was so stinky that the past was unbearable to look back on.
Ryan, who once participated in the baptism of artillery fire in World War I. During the war, this old guy actually hooked up with an indigenous girl from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The battle situation at that time was the Allies vs. the Allies. This old guy Ryan actually played a transnational life and death love in the era of Xiaomi and rifle war.
The idea is good and worthy of praise or not. The bloody cross-border life and death love has added another emotional debt. Every time he mentions this, he always shook his head and sighs, and comforted Cruze tirelessly, being a person should be down-to-earth and not thinking about importing goods, especially women, imports are not as good as domestic ones.
Gou Bin was intoxicated in his dream. He was moved by this sad melody of love. An old man regretted love story for himself played such a sad deed, but the artillery fire was always ruthless. When the Allies defeated the Allies, the woman he liked was also killed by artillery fire.
Gou Bin didn't know how the old man Ryan liked how women died in the enemy country. He didn't tell him carefully, and Gou Bin didn't know it. He just knew this in his memory. He was completely intoxicated with this heavenly rhythm, unable to extricate himself for a long time, forgetting all the troubles in his heart.
After the dream changed, Gou Bin finally saw his mysterious childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, he was vague and couldn't see clearly what he looked like. He only felt that he was very beautiful. Lucy, a sweet country girl, was no longer many years older than Gou Bin. Her sister-brother relationship was a little puzzled, and her laughter kept circling in her mind for a long time.
The dream was like a film that quickly showed the past dreams and present life, so familiar and friendly, as if he had experienced it personally, Lucy's smile and anger seemed to be engraved into his mind, so deeply and thoughtful. When he joined the army to serve his motherland, the night before leaving was so wonderful, but unfortunately he could not see the scene that was inappropriate for children.
From the moment of the sea landing battle, it was Gou Bin's most realistic and clearest. The scene of bullets flying was clearly visible. The rumbling artillery fire seemed to be bombing in front of him. A saxal landing ship approached the shallow beach, and batches of Allied soldiers fell down and charged, and even the shells were blown out of the sea and still charged.
Gou Bin stepped on the sand of the shallow beach with his feet and walked straight towards the beach. He could not feel the cold or the pain. The sound of gurgling sea water and cannon sound echoed in his mind. The landing ship he was riding on was also sank to the bottom of the sea. Behind him, the waves of overwhelming sea waves hit Gou Bin and sank into the shallow sea.
Gou Bin wanted to struggle and float, but he couldn't do it. There was no feeling of being covered, nor the discomfort of choking the sea water. When he was frustrated and swallowing to death, a soldier pulled him up. The moment he got up, a shell flew over, Gou Bin flew up, and even floated up lightly.
Gou Bin floated in the dark space of nothingness, and everything around him was terrible. There was no roar of artillery fire, nor the screams of death. There was only endless vicissitudes and nothingness. This was like a prison ground, a prison ground for spiritual death. There was no sunshine or sound, there was only endless darkness and destructive silence.
"Cruze, Cruze, wake up, what you promised me will definitely come back safely, Cruze..." A series of cordial calls woke Gou Bin up. He wanted to respond to the call, but it was so difficult and so difficult to do. He tried to get up, but it was so difficult.
The picture turned around, Gou Bin found himself outside a battlefield medical room. A young girl in front of him stood in front of him, trying to get close to her face clearly, but no matter how close he approached, it was difficult to get close to the figure in front of him. The young girl in front of him didn't know what she was talking about.
Gou Bin wanted to hear what she said, but no matter how much he concentrated his energy, it was difficult to do it. Just when Gou Bin was about to give up, a shell landed straight in front of the young girl in front of him. Gou Bin wanted to shout but couldn't say anything. He was pulled back and could not resist or break free.
The shell exploded, and it exploded silently. The hazy young figure in front of me turned into dust and disappeared in the explosion of the shell. Gou Bin wanted to call, but unfortunately he couldn't shout anything. He unknowingly burst out wet tears, very cold and heart-wrenching.
Pain! A heart-wrenching pain spread throughout Gou Bin. He wanted to wake up from this endless nightmare memory, but it was difficult to do it. He didn't know whether it was a memory or a nightmare, a nightmare or a memory? A very chaotic and bad news dream. He wanted to wake up and end this deadly memory-like nightmare.
Gou Bin struggled to wake up in a nightmare, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it until Sean shouted softly to wake Gou Bin in the nightmare: "Cruze, Cruze, wake up...Cruze, Oh! Thanks to the God who sells dogs, Cruze, you finally woke up, what? Are you having a nightmare again?"
Gou Bin woke up from the nightmare with a sweaty face, wiping the sweat from the corner of his face with one hand. The original low fever had disappeared. Gou Bin held it in a bad mood and said, "Yeah, Sean, it's you, huhh~~What's wrong? Sean, how long have I slept?"
Sean leaned against the wooden wall beside Gou Bin, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, and handed it to Gou Bin and said, "It's been an hour, it's still early. Then again, Cruze, what nightmare did you have? Look at your sweaty face and panic, tell me, let's see, give me spiritual food, save some smoking yourself!"
Gou Bin tightened the dining tablecloth he wrapped, shook his hand and took the cigarette handed by Sean. He took a slight sip and suppressed his shock. He said with great sincerity: "No, no, I just remembered the past and was a little scared. Sean, thank you for your spiritual food. It would be better if you had something to eat!"
Gou Bin felt a little scared when he dreamed of the situation inside. The war was so terrifying. Human life was so fragile. A few shells bombed him and basically killed a villager, not to mention the scene of bullets flying everywhere. It would be better to see God if he died. He would not take the pain without surgery and head straight to the heavenly direct train. If he didn't die, he would suffer.
Sean rolled his eyes and said angrily: "There are peanuts, do you want them? Well, that Cruze, Lucy, I already know that it is your girlfriend. I don't think it's strange that you called her tens of thousands of times in your dream, but who came from that Ryan? You have called you dozens of times. Does he owe you a lot of money?"
"Uh..." Gou Bin really doesn't know how to answer Sean. Why does Ryan ow him a lot of money? It's true that he owes Ryan a lot of debts. If he hadn't been for his body's owner, he would have starved to death. A very great and friendly cute old man, I wonder if he had turned a blind eye?
Thinking of the word money, Gou Bin was a little confused and couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, Sean, how much money do you have to serve the country as a soldier? How much is the salary calculated by us soldiers? Also, why do you come to join the army? Hi hi ~ I'll tell you the truth!"
Sean looked at Gou Bin with a weird expression and said, "Damn Cruze, aren't you? Well, I'm convinced you, um, a level like me is only about $20, and a few hundred dollars to die in battle. Don't think about the cost of 10,000 dollars to slaughtering people. That's a fraud. How many people are there in an army? Can the state pay for it?"
Gou Bin thought about it, if the country really enforced the compensation law of the misunderstanding, it would be strange if it did not overspend. It seems that a car in this period was only a few hundred dollars. How many cars could it be bought with 10,000 dollars? It was too scammed. Only when a person died would he pay for a car. Life is not worth a lot!
Gou Bin couldn't help thinking about the most critical question, which was also the most confusing question in his heart. He turned his head to look at Sean on the side and said, "Sean, why are you here on the battlefield? Or is it? Recently, looking at your behavior, you make more money than you do for the service. What is our purpose for here?"
Sean snatched the cigarette from Gou Bin's hand, and did not dislike the second hand and took a sip and said, "Me? Haha~ I am not as great as you think. Joining the army is forced to do so. It is best to make a fortune on the battlefield. Go back to live a petty bourgeois life. If you die in battle, at least you will earn a car to your children!"
Gou Bin looked at Sean with a shocked expression. Is this the simple ideal of Brother Bing in front of him? Gou Bin did not expect that Sean's ideal was so simple and so ignorant. He actually made a spirit of making money and being healthy after death. This is a question worth pondering for him.
Sean sighed, hugged the carbine with his hands on his chest, spit out the burnt cigarette in his mouth and said, "Cruze, don't think too much. If you have time to think about these unrealistic problems, it's better to think about how you survive. Living is better than having nothing. Sleep! It's still an hour before dawn!"
Gou Bin nodded, looked at Jimmy and Barbara who were sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but sigh and closed his eyes to force himself to fall asleep. Gou Bin knew that when he woke up again, it was time to set off, and everything would go on the battlefield again. The dream in the dream was just a dream.
