Chapter 32

Parcel of dilemma

After the joke, Wu Xie walked and said to the other two: "The most important thing now is to figure out the reason why the tragedy happened here, so starting tomorrow, we have to check all the cars. What is our luckiest right now?

It is because they are trapped in the wind and sand and buried to death, not because they are exhausted from food and drinking water, so there may be a lot of resources left on the car. These resources, such as military compressed biscuits, may be edible in such dry weather, so we must look for all the vehicles very carefully and then search for dry food on each corpse.”

Li Cu asked, "How do you know that these people were not thirsty or starved to death? I think if there is strong wind and sand, at most people will not be trapped, so the cause of their death is to run out of food and water."

Wu Xie patted Li Cu on the shoulder: "The child has lived in the city for too long. Do you know what strong wind and sand are?" Li Cu shook his head, and Wu Xie said: "The so-called strong wind and sand are when it happens that everything around you is not gas but solid. Do you understand?

In other words, you will die of suffocation in the end. There are two situations: one is that a large amount of wind and sand pours into your mouth and nose, making you unable to breathe. If you don’t have a very solid angle to shelter from the wind and sand, you will die very miserably. The second is that you are buried by all the wind and sand.”

"Carry...Carry Shinai," said Li Cu. Before he finished speaking, Wu Xie kicked down from the sand dune: "Speak Chinese."

The next two days were completely tedious in sorting out work. At first, Li Cu was a little afraid of the dead, but by the dusk of the first day, Li Cu could already treat the mummies like Wu Xie as lifeless objects.

They took out all the corpses from the car, then found a sand dune in the distance, and buried the corpses one by one. Later, they found that there were too many corpses and they could not be buried so cleanly and neatly with their personal strength, so they had to throw the corpses off the dunes and slide down the sand. They wanted to fill the valley with their bodies.

By the afternoon of the next day, they had initially estimated that about 1,600 corpses had been dealt with, and a huge number of corpses were piled up into dead people. Wu Xie decided to erect a tombstone for the dead soldiers. When erecting the tombstone, Li Cu asked Wu Xie what the better name should be given to the tombstone.

What's the name?" Wu Xiedao: "No matter what purpose they came to this place, after all, people are dead, and respecting the dead is our traditional virtue."

"This is called the Monument to the Thousand People Martyrs?" Li Cu said.

Wang Meng retorted: "In fact, although martyrs are a glorious title in that period of history, there are actually many flaws in this glory. It is always uncomfortable to call martyrs. It is better to give some humanistic names.

Wu Xie looked at him: "Humanistic sentiment, do you understand humanities?" Wang Meng slid around his head and laughed. Li Cu continued, "It's better to accept the sadness of people who leave people. People who leave people and leave their hometowns can never go back. Which sadness is it? Of course, it's so sad."

Wu Xie nodded: "It's indeed a good flower of the motherland. Not bad, let's erect this monument. Can you write these three words?"
