Lin Qi didn't dare to disobey the officer's order, pinched his nose with one hand, sank down, and submerged directly in the water.
Shen Chengfeng hooked his fingers at Xiao Jing, "Come here."
Xiao Jing walked over hesitantly, the current was going against the flow, and she walked a little slowly.
Seeing him approaching, Shen Chengfeng squatted down, pointed to the somewhat blurred figure submerged in the water, and said, "The army has its own rules, it's not a play-by-play game like your 525 regiment, everyone here has to obey orders , no one is an exception.”
"The captain is wrong. Lieutenant Colonel Lin is only helping me. You shouldn't punish him." Xiao Jing looked serious, not afraid of those sharp wolf-like eyes.
"I'm not punishing anyone. I'm just telling you to do what you can. He's not qualified to teach, especially for a rookie like you. If you give it to a half-baked instructor, it will only get darker and darker."
"..." I dare you, the old man, to say so righteously, do I still have to be grateful to the chief for teaching me personally
"Don't be unconvinced, he's about to float up." Shen Chengfeng's eyes fell on the water surface and more and more blisters began to gather. As expected, as soon as the words fell, the people at the bottom suddenly popped out.
"Cough, cough, cough." Lin Qi gasped for breath, his face turned blue and purple, he straightened his back with self-blame, and didn't speak.
Shen Chengfeng stood up straight, glanced at his watch, "Not even a minute and a half."
"Please sir, give me another chance." Lin Qi demanded.
"So what if I give you ten chances?" Shen Chengfeng asked back, "In the face of war, no one is qualified to ask for another one."
Lin Qi lowered her head, water droplets mixed into the water drop by drop along the tip of her hair.
"It's not a battlefield now, why not?" Xiao Jing retorted, "Maybe the officer thinks we can't do it at all?"
"Yes, you can't."
"Then it's better to demonstrate it to me, sir!"
Shen Chengfeng squinted his eyes, and the expression in his eyes became more and more obscure.
Lin Qi silently felt an invisible pressure in the air impacting his spirit. He thought that the always cold Mr. Shen would slap this little soldier who dared to talk back to him into the water, let him He was sober and sober.
But when Lin Qi secretly raised his head at the risk of being assassinated by a knife eye, he saw the officer put his coat on the treetop, and then jumped into the lake, smashing a small swirl.
Xiao Jing stared intently at the figure that did not make any movement after diving into the water, but before she knew it, the calm lake surface suddenly started bubbling.
"I'll go to your uncle." Xiao Jing hurriedly pulled Lin Qi up to the shore.
Lin Qi didn't understand his actions, and asked, "What's wrong?"
In the water, the surroundings of Shen Chengfeng began to boil, and the bubbles gathered more and more, and finally began to roll, like boiling water, already smoking.
Lin Qi was dumbfounded and didn't dare to say anything: "What's going on? Is the officer in danger?"
"Will he burn himself to death? Go and call someone, I'll stay here." Xiao Jing pushed Lin Qi.
Lin Qi came back to his senses, "I'm going to save the officer." He made a gesture and wanted to jump off.
Xiao Jing grabbed him and said, "What are you saving? You were cooked before you got close. Go and call for someone to get a fire extinguisher."
Lin Qi ran towards the camp without hesitation.
Xiao Jing tried to enter the water, and slowly walked towards the boiling place, the water temperature gradually became hotter, but fortunately, it was within the range she could accept.
"Gu." Shen Chengfeng emerged from the water, looking steamingly at the small body that was close to him.
Xiao Jing blinked, seeing the unscathed chief, suddenly remembered that day in the bathhouse, when the cold water touched his body, it would become scorching hot, even smoky like boiling.
"Sir, you only persisted for a minute." Xiao Jing said solemnly.
Shen Chengfeng stared blankly at the little soldier who was showing off his cleverness in front of him, gently wiped off the drops of water on his chin, and said indifferently: "I am the officer, I can ask you, but you have no right to ask me , otherwise it is the following offense, and needs to be punished with demerits, or even confinement."
"Ahem." Xiao Jing awkwardly pointed to the steam rising from the water, and said bluntly, "I admit that I came here because I saw something strange underwater."
"What's strange?" Shen Chengfeng asked knowingly.
"I'm worried that you will be burned to death."
"On the battlefield, if the enemy uses me as bait, but you judge that I'm in danger and rush over recklessly, do you know what will happen?"
Xiao Jing was silent.
Shen Chengfeng looked at him with burning eyes, "You and I were killed at the same time. When you are facing all unknown dangers, the first thing you have to judge is not only whether I am safe, but also whether your rescue operation will affect other people."
Xiao Jing lowered her head, "I didn't think so much."
"After that, you should think about it carefully." Shen Chengfeng walked to the lake, looked at the motionless figure behind him, and said indifferently, "You still want to continue diving?"
Xiao Jing followed up, "Captain, if the enemy really uses his comrades as bait, should I save them or not?"
Shen Chengfeng put on his coat, and the golden rays of the sun fell on his dripping body, flooding with a little fragmented light, he said, "Why do we want to be soldiers?"
"The country needs us."
Shen Chengfeng glanced at him, "Since we are soldiers, we must not be afraid of death. Since we are not afraid of death, we must understand that we can die, but it is worthwhile when we die. The enemy uses comrades-in-arms as bait. If you are this Bait, do you think your comrades will rush over to save you?"
Xiao Jing thought for a while, if she said at this time that she was afraid of death, would she be beaten to death by the captain
Shen Chengfeng glanced sideways at his thin body again, and snorted, "It's empty words to tell you now, but when you go to the battlefield, you will understand that sometimes, living is not necessarily good, especially when When your life is in the hands of the enemy, how much you wish your comrades could give you a bullet instead of rushing to die with you."
"Captain, have you ever encountered such a situation?"
Shen Chengfeng fell silent suddenly, his eyes looked at the lake without any emotion or anger.
In the rain of bullets, wind and sand, and blood shouting, a team of ten people risked their lives to enter the enemy camp, just for a captured comrade.
When everyone was injured and rescued him, his first words were:
"Captain, I can't see it anymore, I can't grab it anymore, I can't hold my head up high and look up at the national flag anymore, please, give me a bullet, let me leave with honor, instead of living in mediocrity!"
Between faith and betrayal, between life and responsibility, between brilliance and pride.
It's hard to live!
