"Captain, Eighteen, are you all right?" Mu Xichi jumped out from the forest path, with a few drops of blood splashed on his face, and under the light of the fire, there was a strange cold glow.
"What about the rest?" Shen Chengfeng looked at Mu Xichi who was alone, arranged the guns, and carried them on his shoulders.
"They were all resting in a burnt-out homestay in the southwest. We met the Zhenghu team, and General Xiao Zheng was injured." Mu Xichi involuntarily glanced at Xiao Jing as he spoke.
Xiao Jing's expression froze, and she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with my third brother?"
"It may be that the other party resisted too fiercely. General Xiao Zheng was hit by a bullet unexpectedly."
"Let's go and have a look." Shen Chengfeng walked straight in the direction Mu Xichi pointed.
The woods are a little secluded, and the whole ground is a little slippery after the rain.
In the homestay where most of the house was burned down, it was equally quiet as if the building was empty.
Xiao Jing pushed open the crumbling iron door, and a smell of oily smoke mixed with traces of blood came to her nostrils instantly.
"Xiao Jing, you are back." Lin Qi hurriedly jumped down from behind the wall, looked at Xiao Jing who was safe and sound, and his heart slowly let go.
The sound of violent explosions came from the small town in the southwest, and the monstrous flames enveloped the entire town like a python swallowing up mountains and rivers. Everyone was in fear. This battle was not as simple as imagined.
Xiao Jing glanced past Lin Qi and landed on Xiao Zheng who came out from behind him.
Xiao Zheng frowned, obviously it wasn't because of his injury, he looked at Shen Chengfeng with a serious expression he had never had before.
Shen Chengfeng didn't shy away from his intense stares, raised his eyes, and met his four eyes, he said: "General Xiao Zheng seems to have something to say to me."
"Can I borrow a step to speak?" Xiao Zheng asked back.
Shen Chengfeng nodded noncommittally, "Send a few people to keep an eye on the surroundings, and if there is any trouble, shoot immediately."
After saying that, the two walked to the backyard one after the other.
The moonlight fell on the ground sparsely through the cracks in the trees. A good house was separated into two halves. One half was completely unrecognizable and still burning with flames, while the other half was messy as usual. Obviously, the owner of the house fled too hastily.
"What does General Xiao Zheng want to say to me?" Shen Chengfeng looked up at the fruit tree that had already blossomed and bore fruit, his voice was a little low.
Xiao Zheng leaned against the tree trunk, took out a cigarette with trembling left hand, lit it in silence, and exhaled another puff of smoke before saying, "Why did you bring Xiao Jing?"
"Why can't you bring him here?" Shen Chengfeng asked without answering.
Xiao Zheng tightened the cigarette in his hand, stared blankly at Shen Chengfeng who didn't feel serious about the situation, and said through gritted teeth: "You should know what kind of battlefield this is, she's just a recruit."
"From the day he joined the Special Forces, he was not a recruit. What he needed was to go forward bravely every time he sacrificed his life, not the excuse of being greedy for life and fear of death for recruits to refuse."
"But she has no experience. This is an SSS-level task. If you bring her out, do you know if she will be buried in this wilderness because of a mistake?"
"A soldier is never afraid of any difficulties. He has no right to refuse when facing a task."
"But you have. You have the right not to attend her, and you have the right to order her to stay in the camp."
"Yes, I have." Shen Chengfeng replied.
Xiao Zheng stamped out the cigarette butt, "You brought her out on purpose, didn't you?"
"Does General Xiao Zheng feel that he is not qualified to participate in this mission?"
"..." Xiao Zheng was silent, it wasn't that he didn't want her to participate, but—
"I suddenly understood why he stayed in the 525 regiment all the time. The Xiao family is really great. All the descendants of the Xiao family are either generals or marshals. Only this Xiao Jing is a bit special. After three years in the army, he is still a second lieutenant. I was thinking Because he didn't work hard enough, or she wasn't qualified enough, now it seems that the Xiao family deliberately made him only a second lieutenant."
"That's right. Our Xiao family has never lacked generals, elites, or talents. What we lack is happiness and freedom. What I can give her is freedom to think about her." Xiao Zheng stood up straight and raised his head. Looking at the sky, "So try my best, and I will also bring her out of the Iron Eagles."
Shen Chengfeng didn't speak any more, but stared intently at the back in front of him, he suddenly felt that he might have missed something, why the Xiao family obviously valued this Xiao Jing, but made people feel that Xiao Jing was excluded
For so many years, the fourth son of the Xiao family has never been mentioned, as if they only exist in the family register.
"Let's eat something." Lin Qi opened the biscuit and handed one to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing took the biscuit, but didn't take a bite.
Lin Qi asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jing put the biscuits on the ground, stood up and ran towards the backyard, but just as she stepped into the yard, she heard her third brother's words to take her away.
Involuntarily, she clenched her fists stubbornly.
"Captain, can I say something to my third brother?" She stepped forward and opened her mouth to break the sudden silence.
Shen Chengfeng nodded, turned around and walked towards the hall of the house.
The breeze picked up suddenly, and the dark clouds slowly blocked the moonlight, making the whole yard darker.
Xiao Zheng looked at the small body one meter away from him without saying a word, feeling like a lump in his throat for a moment, not knowing how to open his mouth to break the weird silence.
Xiao Jing squatted down and looked through her belongings. She remembered that she specially took the medicine sent by her elder brother before leaving.
After a while, Xiao Zheng planned to use a rough laugh to resolve the aggrieved dullness, but before his voice could escape his throat, he stretched out a hand towards himself.
Xiao Jing said: "This is the medicine given by the eldest brother, and the effect of stopping bleeding is very good."
Xiao Zheng was stunned, "How do you know I was injured?"
Xiao Jing walked forward silently, seeing that there was a little wet feeling in his dark clothes, but she couldn't see the bright red color, she said: "As long as there is no problem with the sense of smell, you can find the smell of blood."
Xiao Zheng smiled, and no longer being pretentious, he took off his coat directly, revealing the wound on his shoulder. The blood seemed to smell the air, and he rushed to see the light.
Xiao Jing opened the medicine bottle without saying a word, and carefully poured some medicine powder for him.
The medicine powder fused into the blood, and soon it was like a beast tamer taming a stubborn prey, and the blood was instantly contained.
Xiao Zheng laughed loudly, "As expected, it's the good medicine for the elder brother, it stopped bleeding all at once."
"This is for you." Xiao Jing put away the medicine bottle and handed it to him.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "You keep it."
"I still have more." Xiao Jing stuffed it into his hand persistently.
"..." The eldest brother should also be thinking of giving this third brother a bottle of good medicine.
Xiao Jing lowered her head, looked at the shadows of the two on the ground, and asked hesitantly, "Do you not want to see me stay in Tie Ying?"
"Yes." He replied without thinking.
"Is it because Tie Ying and Zheng Hu are opposites?" Xiao Jing raised her head with clear eyes.
Xiao Zheng frowned, "What nonsense?"
"I don't understand why you don't like me staying here so much, or you don't like Shen Chengfeng, right? Because the Shen family and our Xiao family are two factions, they are enemies, and if I stay here, I will betray the family, right?"
"No." Xiao Zheng sighed, this girl's brain circuits are quite rich, and he couldn't find an excuse to refute for a while.
Xiao Jing looked serious, "Then why are you so against me staying in Tie Ying?"
"Because Shen Cheng is blind." Xiao Zheng cursed angrily.
"..."
"Xiao Si, we know that you are used to the Special Forces. If you like the Special Forces, Third Brother's Zhenghu, Xiaowu's Whale Wolf, or Xuefeng in our Xiao Family Headquarters, you can go. Why are you so persistent? Why don’t you stay in Tie Ying, stay with this living Hades? He is a well-known tyrant in the army, if you follow him, you will only suffer and suffer, and even face death.”
"Is death terrible?" The Xiao family asked again.
"It's not scary, but what's scary is—" Xiao Zheng stroked his forehead, "We all want you to stay in the 525 regiment, why don't you listen?"
"When I want to go home, I can hold my head up proudly."
"The Xiao family doesn't need so much glory." Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Xiao Si, the Xiao family has never lacked those honors, you don't have to ask yourself to work hard for those false names."
"But I need these honors." Xiao Jing's eyes turned red, "My wife never allowed me to call her grandma since I was a child. I understand that she doesn't like my mother and me who is cowardly. If one day, I can be with you The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother went back with their heads upright, and I think Mrs. Tai will take my mother back with satisfaction, instead of leaving our mother and son in Cangshan for more than 20 years without asking."
"Confused, if she doesn't recognize it, she won't recognize it." Xiao Zheng looked at the glistening liquid in her eyes, hesitated to speak, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "Little Si, In addition to Mrs. Tai, there is also my father, and us, so what if there is no recognition from her alone, we are still a family, right?"
"Third brother, can it be the same?"
"Why is it different?"
Xiao Jing lowered her eyes, with a cautious look, she was afraid that the treasure she was holding in her hand would be snatched away suddenly.
Xiao Zheng leaned forward, raised her drooping head, and said seriously: "Third brother never wants to ask you for anything, but this Tie Ying is really not suitable for you."
Xiao Jing did not reply.
"You also know that Shen Chengfeng has a special body, he is not a normal person."
"Am I a normal person?" Xiao Jing asked back, "He is not normal to you, but I am normal to him. In this way, only he and I are the same kind, right?"
"..." He had nothing to say about this logic.
"Third brother, the captain is very nice. He treats me very well and takes good care of me. I like the atmosphere of the Special Forces. I like the high-intensity rhythm of sweating every day. I like to fight side by side with him through life and death. I Really like Iron Eagle."
"..." You like it so much, do we dare to keep you here
"Third brother, I'm an adult, I can make my own decisions, the captain sincerely wants to help me and train me, and only he let me know that I am not a cowardly waste."
Xiao Zheng raised his head high, he needed to be calm, really calm.
"Although the captain is very special, his body and skin are nothing special to me. I can touch him. He is an ordinary person to me. Maybe because of his special body, he is a little psychologically unbalanced." , I need to stay here to save him."
"Enough." Xiao Zheng clenched his fists tightly, the dark clouds dispersed, and he could clearly see the prominent veins on his fist.
Xiao Jing blinked, not knowing why her third brother was so angry.
Xiao Zheng's eyes were burning, and he considered his words, he asked: "Just because you can contact freely, I'm afraid that he-"
"What are you afraid of him?" Xiao Jing asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid that he will suddenly become wildly fantasizing about you." Xiao Zheng blurted out.
"..." The night wind picked up again, blowing the dead leaves on the ground, the surroundings were desolate, and the whole yard was dead silent for an instant.
"Do you want me to explain clearly?" Xiao Zheng took a breath, probably holding it in for a long time.
Xiao Jing froze in place, speechless.
"I don't want to pierce this layer of paper, but now it seems that I have to pierce it, Xiao Si, although you are a boy, but you are so good-looking and immune to him, it is inevitable that this guy will think crooked when he thinks about it." Well, anyway, I won’t be able to marry a wife and have children in this life, so what does it matter if I’m with you? Anyway, I’ve lost all children and grandchildren, so what if I find someone of the same kind?”
"..."
Xiao Zheng put his hands heavily on Xiao Jing's shoulders, his eyes were solemn, "It's not that the third brother doesn't like letting you stay in Tie Ying, but he's worried that this guy will lose his mind. When did he, Shen Chengfeng, take so much care of his soldiers? Have you ever seen him follow other soldiers inseparably when he is on a mission?"
Xiao Jing swallowed her saliva, but this was not the case.
"His purpose for you is a mirror. You can't see clearly in it, but we bystanders know well that he is definitely not without purpose. His purpose is obvious. If you don't believe me, ask your comrades and see. See if Shen Chengfeng treats you very differently?"
"Third brother, you really know how to joke." Xiao Jing pushed his hand away guiltily, and deliberately took two steps back to keep a distance.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "Third brother is just afraid that you will fall into his trap. After all, in a place like the military camp, you haven't seen a woman for several years. The night is long, and no one can guarantee whether you will fall asleep or not. We slept together."
"Third Brother." Xiao Jing emphasized her tone, "You may have misunderstood, really misunderstood."
"If you don't want me to continue to misunderstand, then stay away from Shen Chengfeng. The best way is to leave Tie Ying and him."
"We are just a pure pool of water, but you are thinking of muddying it up, third brother, I have finished my words, I will stay here no matter what." After saying that, Xiao Jing turned around and trotted into the pool. A cottage.
Xiao Zheng looked at the back of the guilty person leaving the scene, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There are some words that I really dare not expose, but I still want to expose them. How should I say, how can I explain clearly, you are my sister, you are How can a girl say this.
Seeing Xiao Jing who was running back in a hurry, Lin Qi rushed forward and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jing pulled him into the corner, but her eyes were flickering at Shen Chengfeng who was sitting on the ground eating biscuits, she deliberately lowered her voice, and asked, "Lin Qi, I have something I want to ask you."
Lin Qi nodded, "Speak, I'll listen."
Xiao Jing pondered her words repeatedly, and said cautiously: "What do you think is the difference between the captain's treatment of me and you?"
Lin Qi hardly thought about it, and said directly: "I take good care of you."
"Why did you take care of me?" Xiao Jing asked again.
"Just now, the captain and I were originally divided into a group, but he switched us."
"Does it make any difference?"
"Maybe I'm worried about you, just like I was worried about you. I always thought that you would be safer if you followed me." Lin Qi scratched the back of his head honestly, for some reason, he was indeed a little shy.
Xiao Jing blinked in embarrassment, and once again she bravely looked at Shen Chengfeng, only to see that he was already staring at her intently. In a panic, she directly leaned her head stiffly against the wall, pretending to be asleep.
"The shift has changed." Shen Chengfeng stood up, and before he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the house with his own gun.
Lin Qi poked Xiao Jing's shoulder and said, "Are you tired? I'll take your place if I'm tired."
Xiao Jing sat up, looked at the back who ran out without waiting for a reply, rested her chin on one hand, and fell into deep thought.
Does the captain really have any special thoughts about her
But I have no idea about him? How could he have thoughts about himself
"Do you feel that little Shiba looks at our captain differently?" Jiang Xin leaned close to Mu Xichi's ear and whispered something.
Mu Xichi squinted her eyes and nodded, "We don't understand Er Que's world."
"I think Xiao Shiba seems to have an attempt. I bet a chicken leg that he will rush out later." Jiang Xin said bluntly.
"I'll bet on two chicken legs, you're overthinking." Mu Xichi poked his head away from her.
Jiang Xin snorted coldly, "Just wait and give me the chicken legs for every meal in the future."
"Don't make trouble, he's here." Mu Xichi raised her head, and smiled at Xiao Jing who was walking towards her.
Xiao Jing cut to the chase and said: "Major Mu, didn't you keep saying that the captain hurts you so much that you don't want it? From now on we will change teams, and you go with your captain."
"Why?" Mu Xichi asked in surprise.
"You don't love your captain anymore?"
"Love."
"Then go."
Mu Xichi leaned on the side of Jiang Xin's head and muttered, "Why do I think there is something wrong with his mind?"
