Seeing Zhou Jiping and others leaving without looking back, Pierre and Huoya, who had survived the disaster, also packed up their belongings, looked at the unknown gunmen, and then turned and left.
When Zhou Jiping led people back to the foot of the mountain, Mountbatten, Zhong Wei, Hideogu, and many officers from the Southern Alliance were already gathered around Huang Pihu's body.
They grew up with the support of Huang Pihu, and their feelings are naturally deep. Although Mountbatten and Hideogu have not known Huang Pihu for a long time, they still admire Huang Pihu's character and ability. As for those who were guided by Huang Pihu, and in
The Confederate officers who had fought under Huang Pihu's command for quite some time had a close brotherly friendship towards Huang Pihu.
Now that Huang Pihu is gone, the tribal warriors who have always valued emotions the most are very sad. People quietly gathered around Huang Pihu, watching this man appear as an arms dealer, become their chief of staff, and help them.
The man who defeated the northern army Masuari mourned him quietly
Help me cremate Uncle Huang! Zhong Wei said to Zhou Jiping calmly in a low voice, without a single tear on his face. But Zhou Jiping could see that Zhong Wei was trying to restrain his emotions.
She was trembling slightly, so much so that she had to tighten her lips frequently to hide it.
At the command, the soldiers and officers of the Confederacy all started to move, looking for flammable shrubs and dry branches from the surroundings. Mountbatten and Hidogu, as well as some officers of the Mountbatten faction, all joined the group of people collecting firewood.
With great strength, in a short time, the firewood he picked up piled up into a small mountain.
Engineers had already set up an iron frame, and Huang Pihu's body was placed on the steel plate on the iron frame. In this way, Huang Pihu's ashes would not be mixed with the burned firewood.
Nothing left was taken back
With a roar, the firewood soaked with gasoline threw up a ball of fire, which immediately enveloped Huang-skinned Tiger's body. Among the indigenous warriors surrounding the cremation site, someone was already humming a song in a low voice, praying for the soul to rest in peace...
At the moment when the fire light rose, Zhong Wei's tears finally fell. Fang Fang, who was standing next to her, saw Zhong Wei like this for the first time. She was at a loss and didn't know what to do. However, Zhou Jiping, who was next to Zhong Wei, did not do anything from the beginning to the end.
A drop of tear fell, because all his tears flowed into his heart
Huang Pihu is free, completely free. Whether he is a shady arms dealer or a fugitive who cannot return to his country, he is free. As for his posthumous affairs, naturally there are two juniors, Zhong Wei and Xiang Hui, to take care of them.
, at least there is a result. But what about Zhou Jiping himself? Who will bury him one day in the future? Can his ashes be buried back to his hometown? Zhou Jiping has never considered these issues before, or in other words, he has never considered them.
He has never faced these problems before, and it was not until today that he faced them for the first time.
Looking at the tangled and rising orange flames, watching the corpse of the yellow-skinned tiger ignite together in the flames, Zhou Jiping suddenly remembered the "Good Song" in the Dream of Red Mansions - good is good, good is good,
Otherwise, it’s not good…
The war is over, but will what happens next really be "fixed"? Four of those who murdered Huang Pihu died, will they just let it go? Will there be any changes in the reconstruction of the Montaya government?
Can he return to China? Question after question pestered Zhou Jiping, making him stare at the flames in a daze until Fang Fang pulled him three times in a row before he came back to his senses.
Fang Fang had already moved behind Zhong Wei and Zhou Jiping. Seeing Zhou Jiping turn around, she quickly pointed at Zhong Wei who had been crying and indicated that she wanted Zhou Jiping to persuade Zhong Wei who had been crying.
Zhou Jiping patted Zhong Wei on the shoulder and whispered: "Stop crying, he will be unhappy if you do this."
Huang Pihu was the elder of Zhong Wei and Xiang Hui, and he always had strict requirements for them. Zhou Jiping knew that the tribal officers had done something wrong. Huang Pihu would often point it out with a smile, and then ask the other party to correct it.
But if Zhong Wei and Xiang Hui did something wrong, he would often scold him severely. Moreover, Huang Pihu always looked down on weak people. In his words: Men, especially men in military camps, can bleed and sweat.
, but you must not shed tears, otherwise you will not be able to take on the responsibility of protecting others.
Who would have expected that it would be okay if Zhou Jiping did not persuade Zhong Wei, but this persuasion made Zhong Wei cry even harder. Zhong Wei cried and said to Zhou Jiping: "He has not let us cry since we were young. He will scold anyone who cries.
I was scolded so fiercely. We have been away from home for so many years. No matter how hard or painful our life has been or how much we have suffered, we have never cried. But today... I cried, but he can't see it. He will never see it again.
They will scold us..."
As he spoke, Zhong Wei buried his head deeply and cried so hard that his shoulders shook like acacia leaves soaked by rain in the rainy season. Zhou Jiping had no choice but to pat Zhong Wei's back hard, hoping that he could
better
More than two hours later, the cremation ceremony finally ended. Zhong Wei personally collected Huang Pihu's ashes, wrapped them in a military uniform, and placed them in a wooden box containing a magazine. Then, he kept holding the box like this,
never let go
The convoy of the People's Army was on the road again, meandering all the way south. In the afternoon, the team was divided into two groups. One was led by Mountbatten, Xidogu, Zhong Wei and Fang Fang, etc., all returned directly to the capital Sangha City. They had to go back first.
To rectify the situation in Sanga and nearby large areas and consolidate the results achieved along the way, Zhou Jiping and Francois are going to return to Port Legalo. Although Bangobado's territory has been arranged to be taken over by the People's Army.
, but the former Bangobado's men who had withdrawn from there had to arrange the reception as soon as possible. Naturally, Laigaluo, who was closest to Bangobadu, took care of it.
The two sides have agreed in advance that the two groups will meet in Sanga City after the areas they are responsible for are stabilized. At that time, the preparations for the new government of Montaya will begin.
When he thought that these things that had been arranged long ago were all done by Huang Pihu, and now that the person who carefully planned these things was no longer around, Zhou Jiping felt a faint pain in his heart. However, Zhou Jiping suddenly found that he could not cry, which made him even more sad.
Feeling depressed and depressed
In fact, Zhou Jiping's situation is not surprising. Compared with Zhong Wei, he has more responsibilities on his shoulders. Under such heavy pressure, of course he cannot cry. This is human nature.
