中新网江西会昌9月5日电 题:讲述爷爷装哑14年故事 老红军后代携其夙愿“回乡”

中新网记者 姜涛

飞机落地的那一刻,看到爷爷朝思暮想的故土,何莉流泪了。

“我终于回到了爷爷的故乡。”作为何木林的孙女,她在贵州长大、成家、工作,此前未曾到过江西。但她从小就知道,自己有一个从未谋面的故乡江西会昌,那是爷爷出发的地方。

何木林1904年生于江西会昌筠门岭。1927年,他与本村几个青年一同报名参加红军。1934年,第五次反围剿失败,部队开始战略转移,何木林跟随队伍踏上长征路。

1935年,部队行至贵州土城,在青杠坡与敌军激烈交火。那一战,何木林重伤被当地百姓救下。何木林留下来了,但他不敢开口说话。

“他一口江西口音,一张嘴就会暴露身份,还会连累救他的百姓,他选择了装哑。”何莉说。

那些年,爷爷几乎每天都会走到赤水河边,一坐就是几个小时。“他思念家乡,思念他的战友,盼望部队有朝一日能够打回来。”何莉说。

十四年后,新中国成立。何木林终于可以公开身份了,但长久的沉默已经让他发不出声。何莉转述母亲告诉她的场景:何木林跑回家想把这个消息告诉奶奶,嘴唇颤抖,喉咙却只能发出嘶哑的气息。

此后几年,何木林每天到赤水河边练习发声,妻子四处打听草药给他熬服。他逐渐恢复了一部分语言能力。晚年,他开始主动给街坊和学生们讲述长征故事。

1979年,何木林去世。临终前留下两个心愿。何莉说:“他说去世以后一定要把他埋在青杠坡,因为他想陪着战友们;第二希望我们有机会一定要回到江西老家,因为那里是他生长的地方,让我们不要忘记他的故乡。”

2014年青杠坡修建烈士陵园,何木林的骨灰迁葬于此,长眠在战友身旁。此次何莉回乡,亲人用鞭炮迎接她。“幺姨走过来拉着我,我就抱着她哭得像个泪人一样,一句话也说不出来。她们拉着我的手走到家里面,跟我说欢迎回家,欢迎回家。”

2020年,何莉辞去原有工作,在土城做了一名红色故事宣讲员。“我就是想把他们的故事一代一代讲给更多人听,后辈一定不能忘记今天的生活是怎么来的,要接力传承老一辈的这份精神。”

赣南,是中央红军长征出发地。当年,5万赣南儿女离开家乡,跟随红军北上。4万余名烈士的证明书上只有“北上无音讯”5个字。

如今,何莉了却爷爷夙愿,回到了他出发的地方。(完)
