Chapter 23 Chapter Six

Cat ear piercing is the world of all men. Here, they are as naked as in a bathhouse. In this place where there are no women, these men talk about women the most, and it is women who bring the greatest happiness or pain to these pierced men. A man cannot do without a woman, and the fire of war can't stop it. Perhaps it is the fire of war that burns it more vigorously and fiercely. Of course, what people with cat ears pierced look forward to most is a letter from "her".They had carved tracks into the stone walls, into the corrugated steel, counting the days when her letter was due.It takes at least 15 days for letters from all over the country to reach Maoerdong after arriving in Kunming. Such a speed of delivery in the information age is one of the things that arouses the general anger of Maoerdong people.As soon as the military workers went to the battlefield, they brought a letter from "her". That was the happiest moment for the man with pierced ears.Immediately got into my own little corner, lit the candle stubs that I usually saved, first hurriedly read it from beginning to end, then read it sentence by sentence, then read it word by word, and then checked to see if there was any word on the reverse side, and then read it again. Check to see if there are more than seventy or eighty sheets in the envelope (it would be great if her envelope is a treasure gourd), and only after she is sure that all her handwriting has been stored in her brain without scratching, do she slowly write the letter. Slowly put the envelope into the envelope, iron it with your hands, put it under your head, smoke a cigarette, lie there thinking and laughing, turn over and take it out for another look.A letter will make the cat ear piercer happy for at least four or five days.If there is any task at this time, you can tell it, go back to the water, go to lay mines, or surprise Hanoi and go straight to Cam Ranh Bay. No matter what you do, the cat-eared man promises not to blink.

There are no secrets in cat ear holes, especially the most public secrets in cat ear holes.He read it as soon as he finished it, or read it aloud while reading it for the first time, or the recipient is no longer the first reader.Another essential procedure is to report on the phone and share it with people in the whole position and the whole company.It is not enough to read it often, but also to "broadcast it again next time".Sometimes the artillery fire blocked the military industry, and I couldn't wait any longer. I asked Lian Zhi from the phone, "Company Commander, has my letter arrived yet?"Yes, there happened to be one, (actually maybe not) explaining the provinces, cities, counties, and villages where the payment was made, (I usually knew it earlier) opened it up and read it to you?do not--.Don't I tear everything apart listen-chuck.Then read it.Listen, um, my dear... Over there, they are making up and making up, and as soon as the nasty words come out, they reveal their stuff, and everyone laughs.

Letters are shared collectively, and replies are of course often collective wisdom.An instructor with a good pen is the "Encyclopedia of Love" for people with cat ears pierced.On the battlefield, he dictated hundreds of love letters to dozens of cat-ear-piercing objects.Think about it, thirty-three people in the whole company are having a lively conversation, he said, not counting as married, writing one letter in half a month is more than 20 letters a year, even if each person asks me to dictate once a month , How much is that... Girls who have been in love with Mao Erdong, please calm down when you see this, please put yourself in the situation of Mao Erdong, please forgive me, and because you gave your lover's cave friend They brought joy, and the cat-eared people salute you.

The moon is gone and I will go. I send my elder brother to the entrance of the village, humming softly in my mouth, and the scenes of being with my lover are living in my mind. I imagine getting married after the war, which is impossible for people with cat ear piercings. Better spiritual enjoyment than this.Because it is not only a sweet memory, but also a kind of longing, a beautiful longing, which makes people have hope and gives people a kind of spiritual strength that must survive and wait until that day.Those who can lead people to look forward to the future are great, and those who can lead people with cat ears to the future are especially great.At least it can free one from hopelessness for a moment.At least it can make people forget the abomination of cat ear piercing in that moment.It is lucky to have a few more moments like this.

Class monitor Guo Baohai received a letter and a postal package. The letter was from "her" and the postal package was from his mother.It really became his great festival that day.The soldiers in the cave letter said, "Squad leader, let's just read the first three words, my dear, and the three words 谠, and my heart feels numb, okay?"Okay, let's wait until I finish reading it.He looked at the letter, and the soldiers looked at him. They wondered that the squad leader didn't smile, but they thought they kept laughing to themselves. They really cultivated well.The squad leader—the soldiers were just about to reach out, but he had already tore it up a few times and threw it on the ground. He picked up the water bag and crawled out of the hole.The soldiers were stunned for a while, then picked up the scrap of paper from the ground, and saw that it was a letter blowing the lantern.Damn it's worse than Lao Yue, we fight here, she stabs her in the back.The soldiers scolded.It's over, the squad leader has stomach bleeding again this time.Guo Baohai's illness became more and more serious after going to the battlefield. He was only about 90 catties left at 1.75 meters tall, and he was about to fall apart.The soldiers were thinking about how to comfort the squad leader when they came back, but Guo Baohai was completely relieved when he returned to the cave—a shell shattered his pain.The soldiers did not believe that the squad leader would die, so they took turns desperately giving him artificial respiration. For an hour or two, purple-black blood flowed from Guo Dinghai's nostrils and ears, and everyone was paralyzed.

It's just that there is no moon that night.When the moon goes, so does he.Pitiful for the kindness of mothers in the world - he failed to take a look at the medicine for stomach problems sent by his mother.
