Bai Xinyu felt a little embarrassed after being praised. To be honest, whether it was Liang Xiaomao or Xu Chuang, it was refreshing to be admired by people who didn't want to see him. I understand that his father and his brother looked at him at the beginning and hated iron and steel. It is difficult for a responsible man to look down on an idiot. He is more and more grateful to his brother for sending him to the army. Here he found own worth and dignity.
Xu Chuang talked about some serious matters with them, and finally said jokingly: "Passing the initial selection does not mean that you are Snow Leopards, at most it can only be counted as half a foot in, and the three-month training is worse than your selection." To torture people, if you don’t make it through, you have to come back when the time comes, you should be prepared, if you do come back, don’t feel ashamed, our No. 1 Special Forces in Northwest China is not a place for normal people, in short, The big family of Sanlian will always welcome you.”
Chen Jing said with a smile: "Commander, I will do my best to not regret anything, so I probably won't come back."
Yu Fengcheng said: "That's my goal, I will definitely stay."
Bai Xinyu thought that he had to make a statement, otherwise he would be a man, so he immediately said, "Well, I, I will work hard." After speaking, he wanted to slap himself, but he didn't have any momentum.
Xu Chuang snorted, "I'm too lazy to wish you well, it's all up to you, say goodbye to your comrades in these few days."
"Yes." The three saluted in unison.
After returning to the dormitory, the three of them were immediately surrounded by comrades in arms. Feng Dongyuan, Qian Liang and Bai Xinyu were dragged aside and asked about the selection process. Because of the confidentiality agreement, Bai Xinyu could not say too much, so he tried to blur the details as much as possible. , said something that can be said, mainly to brag about his heroic deeds, his perseverance at the last moment, etc., which made the audience amazed, and their eyes were full of admiration, which greatly satisfied the vanity of Young Master Bai Heart.
After Bai Xinyu finished playing, he asked how the two of them were doing. He had been on this trip for more than a week, and he always felt that Feng Dongyuan was a little dark.
Feng Dongyuan smiled and said: "After you all left, the company commander sent us to help train recruits."
Qian Liang teased, "What do you call assisting in the training of recruits? Are you acting as a babysitter for recruits?"
Feng Dongyuan smiled embarrassedly, "They are all children who have just left home. Thinking about how confused we were at the beginning, we should pay more attention when we first came here."
Qian Liang curled his lips and began to gossip about Bai Xinyu, "Hey, Xinyu, do you know how irritating this kid is? Some recruits just look at his good temper and ask him to teach this and that, pretending that he doesn't know how to wash clothes, and let him He washed it, pretended that his hand was injured, and asked him to peel the roasted sweet potatoes, if I hadn’t stopped him a few times, he would have become a private nanny.” Qian Liang became angry as he spoke, and lit Feng Dongyuan His forehead said: "Why are you so heartless, a little bit of the dignity of a veteran!"
Bai Xinyu felt awkward when he heard that, so he pretended not to know how to wash clothes and asked Feng Dongyuan to do it for him. He had done it before, and he did it for several days. Feng Dongyuan is the kind of person who is very embarrassed to refuse others. If he speaks softly, he will help if he can, so many people will have a little bit of the heart to take advantage of him, but they will not do that after getting familiar with him. Although Bai Xinyu himself has done unscrupulous things, but listen to It's too much to see that recruit is even more shameless than him.
Feng Dongyuan argued: "He really doesn't know how to wash, and it's true that his hands were injured too."
Qian Liang was very happy, "Oh, you still speak for others, I really want to dig your head out to see, why are you so easy to bully."
Feng Dongyuan frowned, and said in embarrassment: "But I don't think anyone is bullying me, I think everyone is fine."
Qian Liang pinched his face, with an expression of indisputable anger.
Bai Xinyu said: "Qian Liang, tell me what's going on. The recruits dared to order the veterans and turned against him. If it doesn't work, let's clean him up."
Feng Dongyuan waved his hands again and again, "It's really all right, Qian Liang is too exaggerated."
"Come on, let me tell you, there is such a kid, who is similar to you at the beginning, seems to be too capable, and the family can't control it, so he is thrown into the army, but he is better than you, not like you at the beginning. Nah."
Bai Xinyu narrowed his eyes, "Is there any point in what you said?"
Qian Liang chuckled, "Then this kid is probably used to being served by others, so he's been following Feng Dongyuan's little nanny since he came here."
Feng Dongyuan patted Qian Liang on the back, "What are you talking about? You are too narrow-minded. Let your comrades help each other, and you are so preoccupied with what to do."
Qian Liang raised his eyebrows, "Let me ask you, why did you wash his socks and underwear?"
Feng Dongyuan suddenly became a little wilted.
"Is there anything wrong here?"
Feng Dongyuan said bitterly, "Yes."
"Fuck, it's against him!" Bai Xinyu said as he was about to stand up.
Feng Dongyuan grabbed him, "Xinyu, it's not what you think, listen to me."
Bai Xinyu was really a little angry, Feng Dongyuan was his best buddy and comrade-in-arms, how could he be bullied by a recruit like this.
Feng Dongyuan sighed: "It's not he who asked me to wash it, it's this kid... It's too wasteful, you know, he doesn't wash his underwear and socks, he just throws them into the trash can after a day, I really can't stand it anymore, how can he What a waste, it’s all new and good.”
Qian Liang rolled his eyes and said sadly: "Xin Yu, I'm really going to be mad at him."
Bai Xinyu was also shocked, "Then, then you can't... No, it has nothing to do with you whether people waste money or not."
"I'm the squad leader of their recruit squad." Feng Dongyuan looked sad, "I don't want to wear a good thing once, I really can't accept it, I feel uncomfortable, so..." Feng Dongyuan's voice dropped an octave, She said coyly: "I just picked it up and washed it..."
Like Qian Liang, Bai Xinyu was at a loss for words. Finally, he held back for a long time and said, "Didn't the army preach that thrift is a virtue all day long? Why don't you educate him?"
"I educated him, and he agreed to change it, so I taught him how to wash clothes." Feng Dongyuan said seriously: "Everyone has problems, but as long as you are willing to change it, you can."
Bai Xinyu looked at Qian Liang speechlessly, and Qian Liang spread his hands with an expression of "what's the matter, there's nothing I can do about it".
Feng Dongyuan said with a smile: "It's really not a big deal. I was very happy in the new barracks. It seemed that I saw us a year ago and felt that I had finally become a veteran."
Qian Liang also echoed: "It's really cool to be a veteran, you can manage people, and those recruits look at us with admiration, tsk tsk, it's so enjoyable."
The two told Bai Xinyu interesting stories about the new barracks, and they chatted very happily. When Bai Xinyu thought that he would be separated from them soon, he felt very sad in his heart, but no one mentioned it. Get together for a few days.
After dinner in the evening, Bai Xinyu went to the cooking class to find Wu Qing.
Wu Qing had heard the news that he had passed the selection, and when he saw him coming, he was not surprised.
Bai Xinyu recalled what Wu Qing had said to him before he left, and only then did he truly understand the meaning of those words.
Wu Qing squinted at him with a cigarette in his mouth, "You really surprised me, you really passed the selection, and this time you recruited three at once, it's pretty good to pass one or two."
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "I'm actually lucky. I have two strong people helping me, otherwise I would definitely not be able to pass."
"I guess so, otherwise you would be far behind me with your two moves."
Bai Xinyu said happily: "Squad Leader Wu, my sniper skills have come in handy this time."
"Oh?" Wu Qing became interested, "Tell me about it."
Bai Xinyu vividly described how Yu Fengcheng acted as bait and how he shot when they only had half a magazine left and the situation was critical. He just recalled the feeling of the heart beating faster and the brain unexpectedly calm at that time. , It made his blood boil, at that moment, his soul seemed to enter another space, he calmly controlled the gun in his hand and his eyes like a bystander, aiming, pulling the trigger, all in one go, that kind of concentration The pain that directly surpassed the physical body gave him an "inhuman" experience, and he really wanted to relive it again.
After Wu Qing finished listening, he smiled and said, "That's right, you have two tricks."
Bai Xinyu said: "The main reason is that Yu Fengcheng is very courageous. If he doesn't serve as bait, I don't have the confidence to shoot."
"Boldness is one aspect. The important thing is that he has strong judgment. He has already passed the sniper's previous attack on you and judged that the sniper's level is limited. If it were me sitting on the helicopter, don't Let’s talk about four people, even if there are fourteen of you, don’t even think about running away. Just you rookies, if the Snow Leopards really sent people of their level to hinder you, you would have finished the selection a long time ago, so Yu Fengcheng seems to be Taking risks is actually deliberate, and this kid is indeed a talent that the Snow Leopards need."
Bai Xinyu was stunned, "I really didn't expect that."
"You will understand all this after you have participated in the recruit training of the Snow Leopard Brigade." Wu Qing flicked the soot, "Of course, you may not be able to last for three months, and many recruits are in the first week. Those who come back, those who can persist for a week, and those who persist for another month, will basically be able to stay."
"It's trying to torture people again, isn't it, very much like the Snow Leopard Squad."
"Well, tortured to death." Wu Qing said lightly, "Train the disabled to judge the disabled, and train the martyrs to death. Let's work hard."
Bai Xinyu shrank his shoulders, "Squad leader, what you said is so scary."
Wu Qing smiled and said: "To scare you so that you won't be frightened by them when you go. In fact, it's not that scary. If you are really not suitable, you will know soon, and they won't force you. It's over after you send it back. But if you really want to be a special soldier who can protect yourself on the battlefield and let your comrades rest assured that you will leave their backs to you, you must meet their standards. An unqualified soldier will kill you. A lot of people died."
Bai Xinyu said: "Squad Leader Wu, can I ask you a question?"
Wu Qing stared at him, "How many questions have you asked me, is there still one left?"
Bai Xinyu chuckled, "I just want to ask you, why did you want to be a special soldier?"
"In order to protect the family and the country, and to realize the ideals of soldiers." After Wu Qing finished speaking, he smiled, "Isn't it a bit hypocritical? These are what we said when we took the oath. In fact, if you don't really It is difficult for you to experience such a sense of mission. When I wanted to be a special soldier, I didn’t have such lofty beliefs. I just thought, how fun, I can become the most powerful soldier, use the best The best guns, the best equipment, and access to the most confidential information. Just getting the name of the Snow Leopard Brigade, I would be honored. I walked with the wind. Very aggressive, I just want to live an exciting life. But after performing a few missions... "
Bai Xinyu looked at him without blinking.
Wu Qing took a puff of cigarette, "I think you'd better experience this yourself."
"Oh, squad leader, don't hold your breath."
"How should I put it, when you look at the grateful expressions of those compatriots you rescued, when you beheaded those beasts who dared to cross our border to make trouble, when you punished rape, eliminated evil, protected When you feel good and sincerely proud, you will understand, you will understand what you are training to die for, and you will understand whether the suffering and danger you have taken are worth it."
Bai Xinyu really couldn't understand that kind of feeling at the moment, but he was still excited to hear it. He had been in the army for a long time, and he listened to the education of loving the party, the country and the people every day. There was such an atmosphere all around him. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, people gradually changed. He also wanted to punish rape and eliminate evil and protect goodness. He also wanted to use the skills he had learned to really use them.
Wu Qing patted him on the head, "You are more or less my apprentice. Don't embarrass me when you go to the Snow Leopard Team, but you must not force yourself. After all, there are many important things in life. Don't ruin your body just because of this." In short, just do your best like a man."
Bai Xinyu nodded vigorously, "Squad Leader Wu, I will definitely not embarrass you!"
Wu Qing looked at him with a smile, with admiration and envy in his eyes. Bai Xinyu understood his eyes and couldn't help but feel sad, but more of it was respect for this real man. He secretly made up his mind that he would become A sniper like Squad Leader Wu.
In the last few days of the third company, Bai Xinyu didn't train, so he used his time to do a lot of things, such as feeding the pigs, weeding, and helping out in the cooking class. He also called his parents and his brother, but he didn't dare to talk to him. They said that he was going to be a special soldier. In the end, he wrote a letter to Cheng Wangwang.
When he went to the reception room to post letters, the person on duty gave him a package and many letters, saying that they were sent when he just left. Bai Xinyu saw that they were all from Korla, and they must have been sent by those students. He read all the letters and planned to go back and reply one by one. Finally, he opened the package and found that it was from Chen Chen. It contained some Korla snacks, special products, and an envelope with a stack of photos inside. Turned over a few photos, all belonged to him and Yu Fengcheng! Looking carefully, these photos are almost all candid photos, almost like the photos of celebrities secretly taken by paparazzi. There are more than 30 photos from various angles and scenes. There is also a postcard with Chen Chenjuanxiu's handwriting on it: Instructor Bai, wish You and Instructor Yu are happy~ Bai Xinyu looked at the way he and Yu Fengcheng were chatting and laughing in the photo, and felt hot in his heart, and couldn't help but think, whose two sons are so handsome, they really match each other.
He put away the photos carefully, and planned to show Yu Fengcheng when no one was around.
In the daytime before leaving, Xu Chuang asked the three of them to go to the recruit company to make an appearance and give lectures to motivate the recruits.
That day not only the recruits from the company went, but some veterans also went to join in the fun. Bai Xinyu felt a little apprehensive looking at the group of hard-headed people in the audience, after all, it was his first time speaking in front of so many people.
Both Chen Jing and Yu Fengcheng spoke very well, and their words were concise and to the point. Bai Xinyu could feel the warm and reverent gazes from the audience without even looking.
When it was Bai Xinyu's turn, he held the speech in his hand, and spoke nervously in front of the microphone. What he said before was all things that would not go wrong, but as he spoke, he looked at those immature, heroic He really felt that he had returned to more than a year ago, and even he couldn't believe his transformation in just a dozen months. Among these recruits, would there be some who were outdated and discouraged? Just like the original self.
He stuffed the speech into his trouser pocket, coughed lightly, and said, "To be honest, when I first joined the army, I was probably worse than most of you. I was late for morning training on the first day. After the company commander warned me, I was late again the next day and was punished for running, which made me almost vomit blood."
There was laughter from the audience.
Bai Xinyu also smiled, "In the first month of training, I always had the mentality of muddling along, always thinking about how to be lazy, so my grades at that time were the bottom one in the class, and later I heard that the training was not good enough to go to the cooking class I started to train seriously after feeding the pigs, but it was too late by then, and my grades in the assessment were poor, so I was sent to the cooking class to feed the pigs."
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
"From then on, I realized how much I missed the gun and the Reveille. I wanted to be a respectable soldier, a qualified soldier, and I wanted to go back to the company. I just had a purpose and really worked hard. When you get up, when you work hard for a certain goal, many things will naturally improve. I get the dignity and joy of success I want. I begin to feel that my time is meaningful, and I want to become more Strong. I said so much, just to tell those soldiers who had trouble living in the army at the beginning, don’t doubt your ability, since you are here, don’t go back empty-handed, do your best, and you will definitely be able to do well !"
The audience burst into applause!
Xu Chuang and Chen Jing, who were sitting behind him, had gratified smiles on their faces.
Looking at Bai Xinyu's tall and straight figure, Yu Fengcheng seemed to see those straight poplar trees that can be seen everywhere inside and outside their camp, standing against the wind on the high and distant Kunlun Mountains, and nothing can bend its spine. Bai Xinyu turned around at this time. Turning his face, his bright eyes flashed and sparkled, and the two looked at each other with a distance of two or three meters. At that moment, their hearts jumped wildly.
After the meeting, Bai Xinyu met the soldier who was specially "taken care of" by Feng Dongyuan. He was tall and good-looking, but there was an unruly look in his brows, and his temper was not very good at first glance. Bai Xinyu went to warn him He said a few words to him, although he said "yes" to "yes" on the surface, but he didn't seem to take Bai Xinyu's words seriously. However, with Qian Liang and so many brothers around, it is impossible for recruits to ride on top of veterans. In fact, he is not willing to part with Feng Dongyuan and Qian Liang. When he thinks of being separated from them, he always wants to do something for them. Leave something behind, but he knows that if they are separated, they will be separated, and he doesn't know when the next meeting will be.
Qian Liang said sadly: "I really didn't expect that our comrades who have been in the army for a year will say goodbye, but it's not necessarily true. Maybe you didn't pass the second round of selection and came back."
Bai Xinyu sighed: "You can really talk, thank you."
In the evening, Xu Chuang held a farewell party for them. There were a hundred or so people from Sanlian, and they all came to see them off in the cafeteria.
Bai Xinyu looked at the balloons and banners pasted on the walls of the cafeteria, and suddenly remembered what happened the day Cheng Wangwang was discharged from the army. It was himself who arrived, and when he became the one who was going to leave, his heart was even more mixed.
He has completely changed his whole life since he joined the army for more than a year. He can hardly remember what he was like before. He got rid of a lot of bad things that accompanied him growing up, got to know some good brothers and leaders, and saw many good qualities that he didn't believe in before, such as justice, honesty, selflessness, and blood, and found the goal of his active life and meaning.
In particular, he also got to know Yu Fengcheng, because of Yu Fengcheng, he knew what it was like to be truly attracted to a person. He didn't want to fall asleep when he looked beautiful and had big breasts, and he had to find a young model if he wasn't a celebrity. Looking at himself from envy, jealousy, admiration, worship to Yu Fengcheng all the way to liking, this feeling is really deep, no matter what will happen to him and Yu Fengcheng in the end, he will never forget to like someone a little bit in his whole life, and in the end What does it feel like to find yourself out of control.
After three glasses of wine, Bai Xinyu cried, and then many people cried. Bai Xinyu hugged Feng Dongyuan and Qian Liang, and cried for a long, long time. His only thought at that time was to come back to see them, he must come back to see them.
