When Bai Xinyu returned to the room that morning, Feng Dongyuan and Da Xiong were still sound asleep, and the whole room smelled of alcohol, so he quickly opened the window, took off Feng Dongyuan's clothes and shoes and stuffed them under the quilt. At this time, Feng Dongyuan Woke up, looking at him in a daze.
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "I'm dizzy after two glasses of wine. Your drinking capacity is really amazing."
Feng Dongyuan smiled helplessly, "I haven't had a lot of alcohol..." He moved his eyes to the opposite bed, "Hey, why is Big Bear here?"
"Oh, I was so drunk last night that he went to the wrong room."
Feng Dongyuan saw that although Daxiong occupied the whole bed, he didn't even cover it with a quilt, "Then where were you last night?"
Bai Xinyu realized that he was digging his own grave again. He should have brought Big Bear back to his room first. He said vaguely: "I slept in the room of other comrades. I drank too much last night. How can I remember so much? Are you hungry?" Hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?"
Feng Dongyuan shook his head, "No, I'm just dizzy, just lie down for a while and it will be fine."
Bai Xinyu called Yu Fengcheng while he was sleeping, and worked together to get Big Bear back.
As a result, when it was time to eat at noon, many people didn't get up. Wang Shunwei found out what happened last night and grabbed them and gave them a bloody shower.
For the remaining day and a half, the school paid for them and reported them a one-day trip to Korla. More than 30 of them took the bus to see the Kongque River, Beimenguan and an ancient city. Many soldiers came from the Central Plains or the South. , have never tasted the scenery of the west, even though it was only the first day, they feasted their eyes and had more to say.
Bai Xinyu acted as a photographer for a day and took a lot of photos. Although he has been to many places at home and abroad, he has never tried such a large group tour. The comrades are lively together, and it feels very good.
Feng Dongyuan happily said to Bai Xinyu: "When I get back, I will develop the photos and send them home."
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "No problem, I have the most photos of you here."
"Really, let me see."
"Well, you press this button to turn forward."
Feng Dongyuan flipped through the photos in the SLR, looked at them, and smiled, "There are quite a few in Fengcheng."
Bai Xinyu frowned and said, "No, I haven't photographed him much."
"I've seen a lot of his, but it's called not much filming."
Bai Xinyu was startled, took the camera, and looked through it. There were really many photos of Yu Fengcheng. Before he knew it, how many photos of Yu Fengcheng did he secretly take? He explained embarrassingly, "Maybe I accidentally photographed it. This camera...that one has a big lens."
Feng Dongyuan was dubious, and continued to look at the photo without puncturing him.
Bai Xinyu turned his head, and Yu Fengcheng was sitting in the back seat of him. He was dozing off with his eyes closed. His slender eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his lower eyelid. He pursed his lips slightly. His facial features were exquisite and impeccable. Every expression and movement in the movie has no dead ends at all. From the perspective of appearance, Yu Fengcheng is a perfect man who makes people jealous.
Bai Xinyu turned around, leaned on the back of the chair, and sighed softly in his heart. The more he wanted to control the development of the relationship between the two, the more he felt powerless. Now he hoped that Yu Fengcheng would leave as soon as possible, so that he should be able to relax a lot.
The next day, they returned to the camp in Kunlun Mountains by plane and car.
Not only can they rest for two weeks, but they can also get together among the female students. They have become the envy of all the soldiers, and they are surrounded as soon as they come back, asking about the situation in a hurry.
Bai Xinyu didn't stay in the dormitory for long before he was called away by a comrade in the cooking class. He said that he would hold a farewell party for this group of demobilized soldiers in two days. Sing a song or write a farewell message.
Bai Xinyu didn't prepare for those things, so he packed all the good cigarettes he brought, and planned to let Cheng Wangwang take them away. If Cheng Wangwang didn't take care of him warmly in the cooking class, he would definitely need to spend twice as long to get used to it. In life, he felt that he was really lucky. Although there were people who looked down on him everywhere, he could meet people who were kind to him wherever he went.
There are 12 veterans in this group. On the day of the farewell party, they wore the same big red flowers as on the day they joined the army. The red ribbons said "Glorious Demobilization". From recruits to veterans, they The shortest among them was four years, and the longest was eight years. Most of their youth was dedicated to the army, and the youngest and most passionate years were spent with their comrades. Tired, but when it was time to leave, they were all quite reluctant, because the experience of military life and the friendship of comrades in arms made them unforgettable forever.
After three glasses of wine, they all cried. They toasted each other, hugged and took pictures with their comrades-in-arms. On the last day of the army, they vented their nostalgia and emotion to their heart's content.
Holding a wine glass, Bai Xinyu walked up to Cheng Wangwang, said with red eyes, "Brother Wangwang, you should open a restaurant at home, and when I am discharged from the army, I will go somewhere to eat and drink your food."
Cheng Wangwang choked with sobs and said: "Stinky boy, you must come." After speaking, he hugged Bai Xinyu.
The two hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in their eyes.
This is the first time that Bai Xinyu has experienced his comrades being discharged from the army. He can't accurately describe his feelings. He looks at the veterans who are about to leave, as if he saw the situation when he left here a few years later. Sometimes he will be reluctant to let go and cry bitterly. What they cry is the youth who can never go back, swaying sweat and blood, the comrades who are as close as brothers, and the green man who represents majesty and blood. military uniform.
The next day, they personally sent the veterans to the car. Bai Xinyu looked at Cheng Wangwang who was tearing away and his eyes were blurred. I don't know when and what year we can meet again, maybe this side is the last side.
Not long after returning from Korla, Yu Fengcheng was promoted to a first-class non-commissioned officer and served as the deputy squad leader of the third squad. The original deputy squad leader was one of the veterans who had been discharged from the army with Cheng Wangwang.
It is not an easy task to be promoted to a non-commissioned officer. It represents better training results than most people and appreciation from superiors. These two things basically complement each other. Many people have been soldiers for several years, and they may be just a Ordinary Pvt. But Bai Xinyu knew that Yu Fengcheng didn't care about this at all. If he really cared about his rank, he wouldn't have given up the military academy to join the army in the first place. What he wanted was to follow in Huo Qiao's footsteps and stand on the same battlefield as Huo Qiao.
The arduous training is still going on. In order to enter the Snow Leopard Team, many people have begun to prepare blatantly or quietly. Bai Xinyu gradually discovered that there are several people in their class who want to try, including Big Bear, Liang Xiaomao, Batur and these soldiers with good grades, when listening to them discussing the selection of the Snow Leopard Brigade, Bai Xinyu's mentality changed. Although the Snow Leopard Brigade was still out of reach for him, he suddenly became less fearful. , because he felt that Liang Xiaomao and Batur were not much better than him, at least they did not have a clear distance from him like Yu Fengcheng and the squad leader. He felt that if he worked hard, he might not be worse than them. Since Liang Xiaomao and Batu You have the confidence to participate in the selection, why is he so timid? Chen Jing also said that even if he is not selected, he can take him to see the world, so Bai Xinyu really sprouted the desire to "see the world" idea.
One day, Chen Jing brought them a new message, saying that there are 80 places for the selection of the regiment to participate in the selection of the Snow Leopard Brigade, and they are required to be recommended by the company commanders of each company, with the usual results as the first priority Consideration factors, followed by special skill soldiers.
Hearing that there are only 80 places, several people who want to participate are a little frustrated.
Chen Jing said: "This time is different from previous years. Considering that the selection is labor-intensive, a few people can be selected in one meeting, so this time the number of people is limited, and the company commander is responsible for considering the personnel. Everyone just wait for the news."
Bai Xinyu knew right away that there was no chance. If there were a lot of people, Chen Jing might be able to take him there, but this time it was Xu Chuang who chose him, and Xu Chuang didn't like him at all. He was a little disappointed. Although he knew that he couldn't be selected, he still wanted to see how the Snow Leopard Team would evaluate talents. He wanted to know how far the gap between him and the Snow Leopard Team was.
Yu Fengcheng who was at the side could see his disappointed expression.
During the lunch break, Yu Fengcheng called him out.
Since the two of them returned to the army, they have been "surveilled" all day long, and can only find places to have sex occasionally, but Yu Fengcheng has never asked him to go out alone in broad daylight, so what can they do in broad daylight.
Seeing him looking around, Yu Fengcheng sneered and said, "What's on your mind?"
Bai Xinyu immediately realized that Yu Fengcheng didn't look for him for that, he said in a little embarrassment: "The stewed eggplant you want to eat at noon, why do you want me?"
"When Chen Jing talked about the Snow Leopard Squad today, you seemed disappointed? Do you want to participate in the selection?"
Bai Xinyu sneered and said, "How can you tell that I want to go? I'm just sad because I think that the squad leader might have to leave. I'm not interested in selection."
"Oh?" Yu Fengcheng narrowed his eyes, "You are sad that the squad leader is gone, what about me?"
Bai Xinyu's breath stagnated, and his tone became cold, "Is it meaningful for us to say this?"
Yu Fengcheng seemed to be punctured by something all of a sudden, and his expression became uncomfortable, "Well... I just want to remind you that the Snow Leopard Squad is not a place for you to go, so you don't have to mix it up."
Bai Xinyu said angrily: "Why did I get mixed up? One is that I have nothing to do with it in the first place, and the other is that I didn't want to go there at all. Why should it be me mixed up when it comes to your mouth? You have delusions." disease you."
Yu Fengcheng looked at his distraught look, and couldn't help laughing, "What are you talking about, I'm just talking casually."
"You fucking talk about me like a shit stick." Bai Xinyu was angry for no reason, because when he first came to the army, Yu Fengcheng used something like this to drive him away. Speaking of him in a tone, he has grown up now, and he is completely a veteran who is capable of all kinds of training tasks. Yu Fengcheng actually said him in this tone, as if if he really dared to move a little bit to try the selection of the Snow Leopard brigade The idea is to tarnish the holy place in Yu Fengcheng's mind. Pooh!
Yu Fengcheng seemed too lazy to argue with him, "I didn't say what kind of stick you are, and you didn't plan to go anyway, why should you be so excited? The first selection of the Snow Leopard Team is almost a team battle. No..." He glanced at the angry Bai Xinyu, and changed his words: "Not so powerful comrade-in-arms."
Bai Xinyu glared at him, "Don't worry, even if I really go, I will definitely not be with you to hold you back."
"It's hard to say, your personality is too dependent." Yu Fengcheng shook his head, "You won't go anyway, let's not talk about it."
Seeing that Yu Fengcheng didn't provoke him anymore, Bai Xinyu immediately felt the pleasure of gaining the upper hand in the quarrel for the first time, so he stopped entangled in that question and asked instead: "It's really a team fight? Then why do you choose him every time?" There are so few people, if they win, isn’t it a team that wins?”
"There will also be soldiers of various grades in the team, those who are left behind, those who have been shot, and those who can't stand the pain. They may be eliminated in any form, but if the people in a team are strong enough, they can improve the overall survival rate. In fact, the first selection It’s the same every year, almost a group of people are left in the wild to survive for a few days, resist the attack of the assessment team together, or attack each other, and finally those who can complete the goal will be selected.”
"What's the goal?"
"Not necessarily, but it is certain that it will not be shot."
Bai Xinyu thought for a while, "Then if someone is lucky, for example, with an awesome team, I will pass the level somehow."
"The chance of this is very small, but it's not impossible. That's why there are the second and third checkpoints." A gleam of excitement flashed in Yu Fengcheng's eyes.
Bai Xinyu asked curiously: "What is the second checkpoint?"
"Those who pass the primary selection will start to be sent to the camp of the Snow Leopard Brigade for training. The training is about physical fitness, endurance, and real strength. The kind of soldiers you mentioned who have only luck but no strength will be rejected at this level." Brush it down. The rest are basically members of the Snow Leopard Squad.”
"Then... what if it was a very good soldier who didn't pass the first test because of bad luck."
"Then consider yourself unlucky. No one can prove that he has the strength to become a special soldier."
Bai Xinyu clicked his tongue, "It's really scary... Eh? There's a third level? Doesn't it count as a team member if you pass the second level?"
"The third pass..." Yu Fengcheng narrowed his eyes, his expression became a little serious, "Strictly speaking, the third pass is a long-term assessment in the process of training special forces, and only those who can endure a lot of cruel training and even transformation In order to become a qualified special soldier, many people fail the assessment, often not because of physical reasons, but because of psychological pressure, my uncle did not elaborate on this, it is a secret, and only you will know it when you get there."
Bai Xinyu heard it mysteriously, and felt a little more awe of the Snow Leopard Squad. This sounds like training killers. No, training special forces is probably more cruel than training a killer. He swallowed, "Then who do you think can be chosen this time?"
"I don't know about the other companies. In our company, apart from me, there are only Chen Jing and a soldier in the first row."
Bai Xinyu snorted and said, "You are really confident, what if you are the one who is unlucky and eliminated."
Yu Fengcheng's eyes were firm, and he showed a somewhat arrogant smile, "Impossible, enough strength can reverse luck, I will definitely join the Snow Leopard team this year."
Bai Xinyu looked at the radiance on his face because of his persistence, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart. Yu Fengcheng always ran very fast, moving forward indomitably towards his goal, and he was just a short-term companion on the road of Yu Fengcheng's pursuit of the goal. Yu Fengcheng would not deviate from the direction for him, and would not even slow down for him. He still ran fast. No matter what, he would not be able to walk side by side with this man. He would soon be left behind. How should I describe this feeling? Woolen cloth? Even if no one knows about his relationship with Yu Fengcheng, he still feels abandoned, which is a terrible idea.
During that time, not only Yu Fengcheng, Chen Jing and others trained hard, Bai Xinyu also became very active, almost desperately training his physical fitness and various military and combat skills. His grades were low due to the low starting point. He was still making rapid progress. Before everyone noticed, he was already at the top of his class. He climbed from the tail of a crane to half a top soldier. The sweat he put in was not only known by Bai Xinyu himself, but also by Bai Xinyu himself. People who are close to him, watching him grow up all the way, also feel a lot of emotion.
The weather is getting hotter. In a blink of an eye, Bai Xinyu has been in the army for a year. Sometimes I think about it, I should also thank Yu Fengcheng. If it wasn't for Yu Fengcheng, he wouldn't have such great motivation to push himself to improve.
That day, I heard that recruits were coming to the army, and the military trucks transporting the recruits passed by the gate outside their camp. Many people climbed to the fence to peek at the immature and tired looks of the recruits, and laughed. , I always feel like I saw myself a year ago.
Both Chen Jing and Yu Fengcheng were transferred to train recruits. Bai Xinyu didn't see them much for a month. Supported him to overcome the inertia that accompanied him for more than 20 years, and allowed him to constantly challenge himself, make progress, and make progress again.
Once, Qian Liang, who was assigned to another class, ran into him in the corridor and shouted that he didn't recognize him at once, saying that his whole demeanor was different, but he couldn't tell what was different, Bai Xinyu knew How is he different? In fact, he has changed in so many places from the inside to the outside, and sometimes he doubts whether his body has been replaced by another person. Otherwise, how could he have changed in just one year? It's a complete makeover, but he is very clear that he appreciates the current self-motivated and tenacious self even more.
One afternoon, Bai Xinyu was told to go to Xu Chuang's office to report. After he went, he found that there were already many people in the office, including Yu Fengcheng, Chen Jing, Da Xiong, Liang Xiaomao, and three people from other classes. As soon as they saw him coming in, everyone's eyes fell on him, the eyes were indescribably complicated, especially the way Yu Fengcheng looked at him, which made him unable to guess what this person was thinking at all.
He had a vague premonition, but Xu Chuang didn't speak, he couldn't believe it at all, his fists were clenched behind his back, his body trembled slightly because of excessive anticipation, and his blood seemed to be boiling.
Xu Chuang patted the document on the table, "You should all know the purpose of calling you here. The seven of you are the candidates recommended by us to the regiment three times to participate in the junior selection of the Snow Leopard Brigade."
Bai Xinyu's eyes widened, and he almost yelled out of excitement, what did the company commander say? The company commander recommended him? Can he participate in the selection of the Snow Leopard Team? ! The few soldiers standing in this office are all the top soldiers in the company. Although he is not familiar with the other three, he also knows them. They are all the squad leaders of other squads. He is actually on the list, so does that prove that Xu Chuang admits that he is a top soldier
Everyone could see Bai Xinyu's excited expression, Xu Chuang couldn't help but sneered and said, "Hey, Bai Xinyu, why are you so excited? It is unavoidable almost every time, do you think this is a fun thing?"
Bai Xinyu quickly stood at attention and said seriously, "I know this is not a joke."
"Then you still want to go?"
Bai Xinyu glanced at Yu Fengcheng hastily, before he had time to analyze the meaning of Yu Fengcheng's eyes, his brain became hot, and he said without hesitation: "Yes!"
"Okay, it's good if you have the courage." Xu Chuang handed the document to Chen Jing, "You can post it, do you have any comments?"
Liang Xiaomao looked at Bai Xinyu, obviously unconvinced, but in the end he didn't dare to question Xu Chuang's decision in public. Not only him, but the other seven people were as suspicious as Liang Xiaomao. They didn't understand why there were so many excellent fighters in the company, so why did they choose Bai Xinyu? Xinyu, Bai Xinyu's results are not bad, and he has indeed improved rapidly, but he has not yet been among the strongest group. It is a bit of a misnomer to choose him, and it is no wonder that many people are dissatisfied.
"I don't have any complaints. Everyone, take a good look at the materials and go back to prepare. I hope everyone can cherish this opportunity. Let's leave."
Everyone took the materials and walked out of the office.
Wang Shunwei sighed after watching the group walk away, "What kind of moth is this Snow Leopard brigade, every year they come up with some tricks, this time we actually want us to install one... oh..."
Xu Chuang showed an enthusiastic smile, "Don't you think it's very interesting? The methods of the Snow Leopard Squad to test people are always emerging one after another. If I'm not old, I'd like to try it." After finishing speaking, he hehe laughed.
