Chapter 1249 The Pearl Monument

Yao Lei...

When people are gone, let's guard the coastline in this way.

The boat sailed for several hours, near Pearl Beach.

Tong Siyao hasn't been seasick since seeing the Yao Lei, probably because she was too excited.

Pearl Beach is completely a military fortress, and soldiers standing guard can be seen from a distance, and cruisers keep coming and going.

Tong Siyao and the others were also on a cruiser. When they docked, they saw a broken warship standing in front of it, with many people on it.

It was a sculpture.

Tong Siyao's hands trembled, and she had a guess.

Sheng Yiting held her hand and led her to the sculpture, only to see the engraving on the sculpture: Pearl.

really……

Tong Siyao's tears flowed down.

Twelve years ago, the warship Tong Yuan boarded was called the Pearl, and then the entire Pearl sank.

But now, it stands here, as if guarding this coastline forever.

Sheng Yiting said: "It is said that at the closest time, a ship from country J approached our coastline and directly confronted the Pearl. In the end, the enemy was expelled and the Pearl was bombed and sunk."

"They are really brave." Tong Siyao said bitterly.

"Yeah..." Sheng Yiting led her to walk behind the sculpture, "Come here."

Tong Siyao looked at the human figures on the sculptures, wondering if any of them were built according to Tong Yuan's appearance.

Turning to the back of the sculpture, the back is densely engraved with words.

Tong Siyao took a closer look, it seemed to be a person's name, and immediately got goosebumps all over her body.

Sheng Yiting said: "The names are arranged in pinyin order and divided into three parts. The first is the list of sacrifices, the middle is the list of missing persons, and the latter is the list of survivors. All the soldiers who participated in this war are remembered here."

Tong Siyao walked to the far left and raised her head to look up.

She stretched out her hand, the top name, she had to tiptoe to touch it.

As for the name at the bottom, she had to squat down to see it clearly.

She put her finger on the top name and swipe it down slowly, finishing one row and changing to the second row.

Tong Yuan was sacrificed when she and her mother went to Xiza Airport to pick up his body.

At that time, there were reporters and students. She and her mother stood at the front of the crowd and saw Tong Yuan's coffin covered with flowers and the national flag, carried out by heavily armed soldiers, and guarded by soldiers with guns at the front and back of the coffin.

Tong Siyao's tears blurred her eyes, her fingers slid, and she even forgot to think about the pinyin of those surnames. When she came across Tong Yuan's name, she almost missed it.

She stroked his name, and tears gradually fell.

She took off the silk scarf around her neck and slowly wiped the dust off the monument with it.

After wiping, she stood up, looked at the whole list and saluted.

Sheng Yiting stood by and didn't speak.

After a long time, Tong Siyao suddenly walked to the front, stood on tiptoe, and wiped the silk scarf from the top.

Seeing her struggling on tiptoe, Sheng Yiting reached out to help her. When it was in the right place, let her wipe it by herself.

When the first letter of the pinyin of the name jumped from Y to A, Tong Siyao knew that this was the list of missing persons.

She asked, "Have all the missing people been found?"

Sheng Yiting shook his head: "The disappearance...is because their bodies were not found."

Tong Siyao pursed her lips, unable to stop crying.

While alive, they defended the country, the country did not defend them. Dead, the country didn't even find their bodies...

"There was an explosion at the time, and some people might have been..." Sheng Yiting sighed, and didn't continue.
