As soon as several people walked out of the office building, they chattered in one go, Big Bear laughed and said: "I guessed that there must be me, ouch, I'm really a little nervous."
Liang Xiaomao said angrily, "It's not surprising to have you, and it's not surprising to have anyone, it's just..." He glanced at Bai Xinyu, and his tone was disdainful and dissatisfied, "Your quota will not be randomly selected by the company commander, will it?" .”
Bai Xinyu raised his eyebrows, and was about to refute, but Chen Jing spoke one step ahead of him, with a somewhat harsh tone, "Xiao Mao, Xinyu's progress in the past few months is obvious to all, and the company commander naturally has the company commander to make such a decision. Reason, how can you talk like that."
Liang Xiaomao snorted softly, turned his head away embarrassingly, but still had no good looks.
Bai Xinyu took up a spot, which proved that someone better than him lost the spot. Although the others didn't say it directly like Liang Xiaomao, they were more or less unconvinced or murmured.
Bai Xinyu has never dared to look Yu Fengcheng in the eyes since he came out until now. He obviously has nothing to feel guilty about, but when Yu Fengcheng asked him a few days ago, he lied and said that he didn't want to go at all, but when Xu Chuang asked him, he He agreed without hesitation... However, he had nothing to explain to Yu Fengcheng, and he didn't insist on going, Xu Chuang chose him, and it must be because Xu Chuang was satisfied with his performance in the past few months. He couldn't help being a little bit pleased with this result.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Jing told the story, the reaction of the people in the class was not as expected by Bai Xinyu, some were congratulating him, and some were not convinced, but he didn't care, he didn't give gifts, and he didn't go through the back door , This is an opportunity he got by relying on his own strength!
Bai Xinyu knew that even if he could participate in the selection, it would be almost impossible for him to pass the selection, but Xu Chuang gave him this opportunity, not only for his affirmation of his progress during this period, but also for him to have a chance to glimpse a little bit of the legendary Snow Leopard team. Demeanor, at least so far, he is still on the same road as Yu Fengcheng, let him know that as long as he works hard, he is not much worse than others.
That night, Bai Xinyu went to the cooking class to tell Wu Qing the news. After hearing this, Wu Qing was not as surprised as Bai Xinyu imagined, but smiled, "Oh, not bad."
Bai Xinyu looked at him with his neck tilted, "Squad Leader Wu, aren't you surprised? The company commander chose me."
"Not surprised."
Bai Xinyu said happily: "So you think I've made great progress."
Wu Qing nodded, "You have made great progress, I heard from your squad leader."
Bai Xinyu said proudly: "Squad Leader Wu, do you think the company commander thinks I'm quite promising?"
Wu Qing squinted at him, showing a mysterious smile, and then gave an ambiguous answer, "Snow Leopards will attract talents from many fields, so many people have hope."
Bai Xinyu whispered: "Squad leader, if it's not against the rules, can you tell me some precautions or something?"
Wu Qing said "Oh", and thought about it seriously, and finally said: "Don't get shot."
Bai Xinyu curled his lips, it was no different from not saying anything, he said cheekily and coquettishly: "Squad leader, don't you have any opinions from people who have come here?"
Wu Qing shrugged, "If I tell you to shoot the people who are from the assessment party when you see them, can you do it?"
Bai Xinyu was dumbfounded.
"So my opinion is of no reference to you... Oh, there is one thing I must remind you."
Bai Xinyu excitedly said: "What?"
"The selection of the Snow Leopard Squad is very harsh. Many tasks have already exceeded the capabilities of ordinary privates. Once you feel that you are not up to the task, don't force yourself to abstain directly. I am not just talking. Every year, people will be injured in the selection. Seriously. Some people will be disabled, and people died in an accident a few years ago. This is not a sports meeting. You are in a real battlefield environment, you are using real guns, and you are facing enemies that will really hit you. It’s just that there are coach bullets in the gun, but accidents may happen at any time.” Wu Qing patted him on the shoulder, “Xin Yu, you must remember that your own safety is the most important thing.”
Bai Xinyu nodded, "Squad leader, I understand. In fact, I know that it will be difficult for me to pass the selection. I will do my best, but I will not risk my life."
"That's good."
Bai Xinyu gossiped: "Squad leader, how many people did you pass in that selection?"
Wu Qing said: "It's just me."
"Damn it, squad leader, you're so good, how did you guys get selected?"
Wu Qing narrowed his eyes, "You kid won't be able to sleep if you don't get something out of my mouth today?"
Bai Xinyu chuckled, "Just tell me a little bit."
Wu Qing looked at him for a while, and said, "Okay, let me remind you one more thing, on the battlefield, you must unite your comrades, abandon your personal emotions, and put the overall situation first in everything."
Bai Xinyu scratched his head, "Squad leader, you still haven't said anything."
Wu Qing stared at him impatiently, "As a soldier, always put the completion of the superior's task first, followed by your personal gains and losses and the gains and losses of your comrades-in-arms. If you understand it, you can understand it. , I'm going to take a shower, go back and you."
Of course Bai Xinyu could understand Chinese, but he really didn't understand the meaning of it at the time. He asked Wu Qing with the intention of revealing some "passing skills" and so on, but he didn't find out what he thought It was useful, so he didn't think much about it, and went back disappointed.
When he was returning to his dormitory, he heard shouts coming from the dormitory from afar, as if he was cheering on. Hearing the noise, he entered the room and saw that it was Daxiong and Liang Xiaomao doing push-ups in a competition, and they had already reached 100 push-ups. Too much, the two of them blushed from the suffocation, sweat formed a small pool of liquid on the ground, and soldiers from other squads in the room also came to join in the fun.
"Hey, Xiao Mao is about to die."
"Shut up, you can't do it anymore, Xiaomao, come on!"
Yu Fengcheng sat on his bed and watched their competition with a smile. As soon as Bai Xinyu entered the room, Yu Fengcheng looked up at him, his eyes were still unpredictable, Bai Xinyu walked over deliberately pretending that nothing happened, and asked Feng Dongyuan, "How do you compare the two?"
"I don't know, let's play." Feng Dongyuan watched with relish, "The two of them are really good. I can make up to 130 at a time, and my arms haven't recovered for several days. Xinyu, how many can you do?"
Bai Xinyu heard them shouting "142, 143..." His heart was a little hairy, his eyes flickered, and he said vaguely: "Well... I haven't thought about it, what's the use of being able to do push-ups, it's not like being strong enough to hit a gun."
Feng Dongyuan nodded, "That's true."
Bai Xinyu silently thought about how many push-ups he had done in the past. He really hadn't counted them. They fixed three 100, 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, and 100 squats every night before going to bed. , it seems that he hasn't tried his limit much, probably similar to Feng Dongyuan? No, what's the use of brute force alone, he needn't be intimidated by it.
Soon, the match between Big Bear and Liang Xiaomao came to an end. Liang Xiaomao fell down at 157. Big Bear had obviously reached his limit. He reached 160, made up a whole number, and fell to the ground.
Bai Xinyu heard a comrade in arms ask Yu Fengcheng, "Squad deputy, how many can you make? It must be more than them, why don't you compare."
Yu Fengcheng smiled lightly, "What are you doing more than that?"
Bai Xinyu echoed in his heart, that is, what's the matter with this, it's boring.
The next day, Bai Xinyu went to the gym to lift dumbbells. After leaving the company, the time is much freer than before. It is not like the recruit camp that is full every day, and I don’t want to do big jobs like the cooking class without small jobs. In the company, except for a few days a week With fixed training and courses, the rest of the time can be arranged by oneself. Veterans mainly rely on self-consciousness to strengthen themselves. There weren't many people in the fitness room today. Bai Xinyu did a series of exercises for the large upper body muscles, and his arms were sore from exhaustion.
"Why are you so nervous?" A familiar voice sounded from behind Bai Xinyu, so frightened that he almost threw the barbell out of his hand.
Yu Fengcheng did not know when he appeared in the fitness room, but he obviously didn't come to exercise, and he didn't change his clothes.
Bai Xinyu said, "How do you know I'm here?"
"I saw it through the window."
Bai Xinyu put down the barbell in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and glanced at Yu Fengcheng, "I know what you want to say, the company commander asked me to go, and it's not my decision."
Yu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you really know what I want to say?"
Bai Xinyu stood up, "Don't tell me not to hold you back, what's the big deal, I won't be with you when the time comes."
Yu Fengcheng smiled, "You think this is up to you?"
Bai Xinyu frowned, "Is it stipulated that a company must have one team?"
"That's not necessarily the case, but if you are really free to group, do you think other people who don't know you will accept you as a group member?"
Bai Xinyu was not feeling well, he whispered: "Then I will do it myself."
Yu Fengcheng pinched his chin and shook it, "Don't be stupid, no one can act on their own, let alone you, have you ever tried to be alone and helpless? If you really want to do that, you won't be able to survive a day, and the squad leader won't let you go Acting alone."
Bai Xinyu looked up at him, and whispered, "What about you?"
"what?"
Bai Xinyu said calmly: "It's nothing, I don't know what's going on now, it's too early to say, anyway, I didn't count on you..."
"I won't let you alone either." Yu Fengcheng looked at him deeply.
Bai Xinyu's heart trembled, and there was something in Yu Fengcheng's deep eyes that made him want to explore...
Yu Fengcheng shrugged, "With or without you, I will pass the selection, there is no difference."
Bai Xinyu's shoulders slumped, and he rolled his eyes in disappointment, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hold you back?"
Yu Fengcheng said: "This is what I want to remind you. Follow orders in everything and strictly forbid acting without authorization. Your current ability is not bad, so it shouldn't be a disservice to you."
Bai Xinyu snorted softly, "I won't be of any help, the company commander is optimistic about me, otherwise he wouldn't have picked me on purpose."
Yu Fengcheng shook his head, "It's hard to say about this..."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing, you should prepare well." Yu Fengcheng was about to leave after speaking.
"Yu Fengcheng." Bai Xinyu stopped him from behind.
Yu Fengcheng turned his head.
"In case... I mean in case, it was really because of me that you failed the selection." Bai Xinyu didn't know why he asked such a stupid question, but his mouth just said it uncontrollably So, what kind of answer did he want to get? He really didn't dare to admit that deep down in his heart, he kind of hoped that Yu Fengcheng would fail.
Yu Fengcheng said: "Impossible, I will definitely pass."
"I'm talking about contingencies, there are contingencies in everything." Bai Xinyu wanted to slap himself twice, why the hell are you still talking! Is it my mouth
Yu Fengcheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Then you'd better not be the reason for that 'what if'." After speaking, he left without looking back.
Bai Xinyu stood there for a long time without recovering. Yu Fengcheng's eyes and tone just now made him a little scared. That's right, he couldn't be the reason for that "what if", otherwise Yu Fengcheng would seem to eat him, like A man like Yu Fengcheng can't stand obstacles in his way. Bai Xinyu took a sip of water suddenly, his eyes became particularly determined, he will no longer be the one who drags anyone down, even if he and Yu Fengcheng never meet again, the only and last time they will go to the "battlefield" together , he wants to become a comrade in arms that others can trust!
Xu Chuang led the team, took 80 people selected by their group, got into the car, and drove to a training base more than 200 kilometers away from the camp area. It is also at a high altitude, with a warmer climate than Kunlun Mountain, and sufficient forest resources. , the complex terrain is very suitable for field training, and the members of the Snow Leopard Brigade are already there waiting for them.
Military trucks pulled them to a temporary camp set up in the wild. There was little smoke in the camp and they were cooking dinner.
When Bai Xinyu got out of the car, he saw a tall, handsome man with long legs walking towards them quickly. He immediately recognized that it was Yu Fengcheng's uncle Huo Qiao. Huo Qiao and Xu Chuang hugged each other, and they looked at each other and laughed. stand up.
"I haven't seen you for half a year again, Lao Xu, you seem to have more wrinkles on your face, hahaha."
Xu Chuang touched his face, snorted and said, "The more you have, the better you are."
Huo Qiao looked at the soldiers behind him, "Oh, all of them are fresh and tender."
Yu Fengcheng looked at his uncle, but didn't step forward. Huo Qiao just glanced at him without expressing much. The two seemed to know each other completely, and Bai Xinyu knew that they were trying to avoid suspicion.
Xu Chuang patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "You boy, you have already taken away several of my precious soldiers. Every time I see you, I get angry. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured on our group, and you just stare at him." Follow our regiment to recruit troops."
Huo Qiao laughed and said, "This is my affirmation of your ability to lead troops." His eyes searched around and landed on Chen Jing, and he waved to Chen Jing, "Xiao Chen."
Chen Jing ran over and gave a military salute, "Hello, Chief."
Huo Qiao nodded and smiled, "You're finally here. I'm very optimistic about you. I hope you won't let me down."
"I do my best."
Huo Qiao thumped his chest, "Although I want you very much, I will not show mercy to any of you." He raised the volume of his last sentence, obviously for everyone to hear.
Chen Jing said: "Yes!"
Huo Qiao regained his smiling face, "Everyone is tired after driving all day, and you won't be able to eat anything decent in the next few days, so let's have a good meal tonight, come here, do it yourself, eat and drink what."
Hearing what he said, the soldiers all held the idea that this was the last meal, and hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks to eat, and started to eat and drink, wishing to store a week's worth of goods in their stomachs at a time.
During the meal, Bai Xinyu was sitting next to Yu Fengcheng. He could feel Yu Fengcheng glanced in Huo Qiao's direction from time to time, and he said slightly sarcastically, "Aren't you going to meet your uncle?"
Yu Fengcheng whispered: "We don't want outsiders to know about this relationship, so don't tell others."
Bai Xinyu curled his lips, "I won't say anything." He looked at Huo Qiao who was talking and laughing happily with Xu Chuang and others. His slender and strong body, his hearty laughter, and his casual and free-spirited demeanor were really a person who made people just wonder. Looking at him, you can feel his strength and confidence. It is no wonder that Yu Fengcheng admires Huo Qiao. During Yu Fengcheng's growth, Huo Qiao has always been such a man among men, which can make young children full of awe , and planted the seeds of 'wanting to be such a man' in my heart.
In the evening, Huo Qiao had a bonfire party in the camp. This group of soldiers had never had contact with members of the Snow Leopard Brigade. They always thought they were mysterious and terrifying, and they could kill with just one look. As a result, these members of the Snow Leopard Brigade were no different from ordinary people. It seems that there is no difference between the veterans and brothers. They love to laugh, love to make trouble, and love to drink, and they are more crazy than anyone else when they make trouble. The incomparable bonfire party, enough food and drink, and no one restraining them, was even more enjoyable than being in the army, and the soldiers went crazy for a while.
While Bai Xinyu was drinking, he saw Yu Fengcheng walking towards a tent, and he couldn't help following. The tent was behind the camp, relatively hidden, and no one else paid attention to it. He took a closer look, only to find that Huo Qiao was waiting for Yu Fengcheng beside the tent. As soon as Yu Fengcheng walked over, Huo Qiao patted him on the shoulder with a smile. The two of them didn't enter the tent, and Bai Xinyu vaguely heard them chatting about homework , even if it was such an ordinary topic, Yu Fengcheng looked very interested.
Suddenly, someone patted Bai Xinyu on the shoulder, and Bai Xinyu was startled. When he turned around, it was Chen Jing standing behind him. Chen Jing frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Bai Xinyu pointed at them, and said falteringly: "I..." He lost his mind when he drank alcohol. Although he didn't drink much, he really didn't know how to explain it.
Chen Jing looked at Yu Fengcheng and Huo Qiao, with a serious tone, "Are you eavesdropping?"
Bai Xinyu shook his head, "No, I, I'm looking for a place to go to the toilet."
Chen Jing glanced at him suspiciously, grabbed his collar, "This way."
Bai Xinyu had no choice but to follow him.
Chen Jing put his arms around his shoulders and said in a low voice: "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, you don't think that Huo Qiao is venting to Fengcheng, he's not that kind of person, don't think too much about it."
Bai Xinyu said "Oh", "I didn't think so."
Chen Jing looked at him, "Xin Yu, I believe many people have told you that the selection is accompanied by many dangers, no matter what task you have tomorrow, you must obey the command, the first is not to be brave, and the second is not to be brave, understand. "
"Squad leader, I understand, don't worry!"
Chen Jing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It's enough to drink, let's go to rest early."
Bai Xinyu wanted to rest, but the whole camp was full of joy, many people yelled, who can sleep, so Bai Xinyu had no choice but to join them again, eating, drinking and having fun, even though he still turned his head frequently, looking towards Yu Fengcheng and Look in Jojo's direction.
Why should he care about what other relatives say, why should he care about Yu Fengcheng worshiping Huo Qiao, but he... is really upset.
That night, they didn't go to bed one after another until the middle of the night. Most of them still had the ability to control themselves and knew that they had to do business tomorrow. They didn't drink too much, but they drank more or less. Bai Xinyu lay down on the bed, Thinking about what I might experience tomorrow, I fell asleep without knowing it, and fell into a deep sleep...
"Xin Yu, Xin Yu!"
In a daze, Bai Xinyu heard someone calling him, his body was so cold, he didn't know whether he was woken up or frozen, he slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight was very dazzling. Bai Xinyu squinted slightly and looked at the top of his head, wondering... where is the tent
"Xinyu, wake up!" Chen Jing's voice sounded again.
Bai Xinyu finally realized that something was wrong, he opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was actually outdoors, in front of him was a bonfire that had been extinguished, and there were tents in the distance, but why was the camp empty all of a sudden? ? And why can't he move? He looked down and saw that he was actually tied with a rope. When he looked back, he was surrounded by familiar comrades. Eight people from one company were tied together by the rope. Not only them, but also soldiers from other battalions and other companies. The company was bundled into a ball, some were already awake, and some were still soundly asleep.
Bai Xinyu was startled and said, "What's going on!"
Yu Fengcheng said lightly: "The selection has already begun."
Da Xiong and the others also gradually woke up, "Damn, what does this mean?"
Chen Jing said: "Look at your wrists."
Bai Xinyu lowered his head and saw a blue ribbon tied around his wrist.
"There are nine companies under the three battalions of our regiment. Each company has 8-10 people. They are divided into nine teams. We are the 'blue team'." Yu Fengcheng raised his chin toward the bonfire, "There are nine colored The envelope, inside is our mission, now we must find a way to get rid of the rope."
After listening to Yu Fengcheng's explanation, there was only one sentence left in Bai Xinyu's mind: Fuck, you're so fucking good at playing!
