Chapter 239: Seedlings
Camp playground.
The surrounding mountains and forests were pitch black, but in the center of the playground, the lights were brightly lit. Under the whistling cold wind, the team of several hundred people was silent, and there was a trace of tragedy on everyone's resolute faces.
The national flag rang in the sky dozens of meters high, and Battalion Commander Fang's deep, firm voice echoed in the air for a long time.
In the team.
Chen Lu's posture was upright, and his dark face seemed to have been carved, full of perseverance. He held the [-] rifle tightly with both hands, but his breathing gradually became heavier, and his wide-open eyes also changed from bright to blurry, and finally to hazy.
"You are heroes!"
Battalion Commander Fang's firm and deep voice echoed in his ears for a long time. The journey of joining the army was like a movie or TV drama, and the past scenes flashed in his mind frame by frame.
Inside the train.
He subdued the pickpocket, and the passengers in the carriage gave him thumbs up.
"Young man, you look good, you are a true hero."
"We soldiers are good, and we should be heroes as soon as we join the army."
……
Later, law enforcement officers also praised him as a hero.
Because pickpocketing in train carriages has been impossible to eradicate for so many years, the department has also issued strict targets, but the train station has a large flow of people and complicated personnel relationships.
Besides, it is impossible to catch pickpockets in person. It is not so easy, and it is impossible to check every carriage one by one.
If law enforcers dare to do this, even if a pickpocket is caught intentionally, the number of complaint calls will already be flying all over the place.
The people are like this. They ask you to fight crime, but you cannot affect them.
However, listening to the compliments one after another, he felt nothing at all.
This was true even if he later learned that the Law Enforcement Bureau had sent a police flag to his home.
But what happened to me today?
He tried his best to keep his blurry eyes open, and tightened his grip on the [-] rifle in both hands. The next moment, the scene of fighting in the mountains and forests flashed through his mind.
"I'll go first, and you'll be on guard behind me."
These were the last words that assaulter Wang Qiang said to his partner Hu Ming before he fell.
Then, in Chen Lu's mind was Wang Qiang's figure sprinting in front. With a huge explosion, Wang Qiang fell down, his legs bloody and bloody.
At that time, Wang Qiang was rolling on the ground holding his bloody legs, and his screams were still vivid in his mind.
"Comrade Li Guo died, but if there is fighting, there will be sacrifices."
"Comrade Li Guo is a hero of the people, and you are also a hero of the people, because you protect the lights of thousands of families."
Battalion Commander Fang's voice kept echoing in Chen Lu's ears. His blurred eyes became hazy, and tears shone in the corners of his eyes.
I couldn't help but think of some unseen pictures in my mind, as well as many TV movies that talked about the advanced deeds of our ancestors.
"A comrade of our party was burned alive in order to cover the lurking troops. His hands were deeply embedded in the soil. He did not make a sound until he died..."
"In order to ensure the concealment of the troops, the soldiers of the Ninth Corps did not retreat even when their men and their guns were frozen into ice sculptures on the ice and snow at dozens of degrees below zero..."
There is no such thing as quiet time, it's just that some people are carrying a heavy load and moving forward!
At that moment, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of such a scene. He even saw the invisible families silently saluting him and thanking him.
You are the soldiers of the people...
Suddenly, the two tears that had been swirling in the corners of his eyes suddenly grew in size, then crossed Chen Lu's cheeks, and finally fell to the ground.
"No wonder grandpa said that being a soldier is not as easy as you think. However, military service can be another experience in life and another unprecedented emotion."
"College is very relaxing, but there won't be such emotions. Life needs more colors to be spectacular and magnificent..."
At this moment, what his grandfather had said reappeared in Chen Lu's mind, and the tears that had just slipped from the corners of his eyes began to swirl and grow in the corners of his eyes again, and then slid down the tear tracks.
At this moment, the seeds of self-emergence in Chen Lu's heart seemed to be slowly withering away. Another kind of seedling quietly emerged in his heart and worked hard to grow.
Eventually, it will become a big tree...
After the battalion commander finished speaking, the scene became quiet.
The huge playground was brightly lit, and the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion, with a total of more than 300 people, stood tall and straight, like javelins.
No one spoke, and the national flag high in the sky made a faint sound, as if calling for the return of heroes.
Soon, faint choking sounds and heavy sneezing could be heard from the scene.
The far left in the line.
The third column of the company, the third squad leader standing at the front, stood tall and straight, holding the steel gun tightly with both hands, and his body could not help but tremble.
A pair of tiger eyes were filled with tears, and there were two clear tear tracks hanging on both sides of his cheeks.
Li Guo was beside him at that time, and he couldn't forget the sight of blood splattering on the other person's head.
"Xiao Li, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
His mouth was trembling, and tears were streaming down from the corners of his eyes.
The opponent probably wanted to kill him, the squad leader, but Li Guo happened to block the opponent's trajectory, otherwise he would have been shot in the head.
"Monitor, I'm getting married next month, and I'll need to take leave then."
"Don't worry, I'll bring you wedding candies when I come back."
……
This scene seems to have happened yesterday, and now I can no longer hear this young soldier calling me squad leader.
Behind him, there were already choking sounds.
The team of Class [-] and Class [-].
Monitor Shi Guo's eyes were filled with tears, and there was a trace of tragedy on his usually calm face.
Everyone else's bodies were trembling slightly, especially Hu Ming.
If it weren't for Wang Qiang, he would be the one lying in the hospital right now.
"You stay on guard and follow my footsteps."
Every time he thought of Wang Qiang's advice, Hu Ming's tears fell uncontrollably.
The army is the spiritual sustenance of each of their investigative veterans. They cannot imagine how cruel it would be if Wang Qiang was forced to retire.
Tread!
At this moment, Battalion Commander Fang put down his arms and turned around to leave. The sound of heavy footsteps was particularly clear in the silent playground.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of the team, it was the chief of staff.
After Camp Commander Fang went down, he came up.
No praise, no comments, no unnecessary words, just straightforward: "Comrades, you have worked hard, the bathhouse has prepared hot water, dismissal."
Soon, each class took its own team back to the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, monitor Shi Guo left in a hurry.
Chen Lu and others went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Sure enough, as the chief of staff said, the bathhouse rarely has hot water, and there is even no time limit.
With the steaming water pouring down his head, Chen Lu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The fatigue in his body quickly disappeared.
After the battle, it would be a lie to say that I am not tired.
After all, it is the first time to fight, and if you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. Especially when being pointed at gunpoint by armed men, no one can guarantee that you will survive.
Chen Lu's physical fitness was 1.9, and the explosive power of the bomb tree seeds continued to activate, which consumed a lot of physical strength. After the battle, he felt tired immediately.
It’s also the adrenaline rush, the aftermath after it’s over.
After bathing in hot water, his physical strength quickly recovered, but his mood was still extremely heavy.
In the past, the noisy scene of taking a hot bath did not appear in the bathhouse today. Everyone had a calm face and left in silence after washing.
Although there was no time limit for the hot shower today, everyone in the class returned to the dormitory at the same time after 5 minutes.
Chen Lu was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, his eyes unfocused.
The squad leader has been out for a long time and has not come back yet. The bad feeling in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.
The irritability in my heart became stronger and stronger. I couldn't help but turn over and looked at the two empty beds. My heart trembled. I sighed and waited helplessly.
Two hours later, there was still no one talking in the dormitory.
Wang Yu, the talkative rocket player, also had a heavy look on his face, and glanced at the door from time to time with anxious eyes.
At this moment, the lights in the dormitory have been turned off, but the curtains have not been closed. The cold moonlight fills the entire room through the windows. The curtains are gently swaying under the cold wind. The atmosphere in the silent dormitory is depressing.
Everyone was lying on the bed quietly. There was no roll call tonight, and the whole dormitory was as quiet as a class.
He didn't know how much time had passed. Chen Lu looked at his watch and saw that it was almost one o'clock.
At this moment, everyone was still asleep, and the quiet dormitory could be heard from time to time with the harsh "squeaking" sound of the bed board when turning over.
No one communicated. Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts and worrying about Wang Qiang who had not returned. The atmosphere in the dormitory became more and more depressing, with a suffocating oppression.
I don’t know how long it took, but the bed board suddenly squeaked. Chen Lu sat up and said, "The squad leader is back."
"is it?"
With that said, Deng Hua was the first to jump up and ran to the door barefoot without wearing any shoes.
With a "bang" sound, he quickly opened the door, and sure enough, in the corridor, he saw Shi Guo walking back alone with his head lowered.
"Squad leader, what's wrong with Wang Qiang?"
Deng Hua's voice had a hint of vibrato, and his nervous tone was mixed with a hint of expectation.
Boom!
Even faster than an emergency gathering, no one bothered to put on their shoes on the cold floor and quickly gathered around the door, staring at Shi Guo.
