The small building here is a bit simple. When you step inside, you will be hit by a wave of heat. An old-fashioned floor fan is swaying. The hot air blown out may only bring psychological comfort.
There were a few thin mats spread out in the room, but there were a whole room of men lying there. Just standing in the room, the unique summer heat and the agitation before the battle emanating from the men mixed together and hit the face, making people feel a little confused. An impulse like something exploded, I just want to have a hearty battle in this hot season.
A figure pounced on me. It didn't hang on me like it was accustomed to when I was a child. It just ran over and stood next to me, smiling stupidly, with excitement in its eyes.
"Brother..." Hui Gen'er called out, but then he felt a little shy and didn't know what to say.
Has he grown up rapidly these days? Suddenly becoming silent and shy is a sign of a man's psychological maturity. He no longer chatters like he did when he was a child.
I habitually patted Hui Gen'er's bald head. Hui Gen'er was very cute when he was a child, but when he grows up, I don't resist, even though the process of growing up is accompanied by many unforgettable things.
"Brother..." It was Qiangzi who came over.
"Chengyi!" "Chengyi, you're here."
... ... .
Everyone who had fought with me, Brother Yuan Yi, Xiao Bei...etc., all gathered around. I hugged them one by one. There was not much enthusiasm, but I was assured that I would give my back to you during the battle. Give it to them, this is the love of men.
Apart from them, I didn't know most of the people in the room. Everyone was more or less a little nervous because of Jiang Yi's arrival. Hui Gen'er whispered in my ear: "Brother, there are so many people. There are still people upstairs."
I looked at Hui Gen'er, who had almost turned into black coal these days, and asked, "Really? Are these days hard?"
"It's not bitter, I think this is the life a man should live." Hui Gen'er's eyes had a strange light.
And I didn’t know what to say. I put my hand on Hui Gener’s bald head and just remained silent.
Jiang Yi didn't say anything. He just stood for a while and then turned around and walked out of the house. I held my backpack in one hand and looked at Jiang Yi's back and shouted: "Aren't you going to participate in the battle? If you were to participate, at least you can Avoid many casualties."
After seeing what Sister Jenny is capable of, I feel that Jiang Yi's move must be extremely 'earth-shattering'. Lao Hui's death has left a deep shadow in my heart. I am afraid of the death of my close comrades around me, and I long for their fighting ability. Get shelter.
Hearing my shouting, Jiang Yi suddenly looked back at me and said: "If your identity and status reach a certain level, even fighting is not free, because the circle has its own rules, and my role is more to restrict. Do you believe it? If I join the battle, more people will die."
"Why?" I don't understand why Jiang Yi said that if he takes action, there will be more sacrifices.
But Jiang Yi didn't seem to want to explain anymore. He turned around and walked out of the door, and said to me: "You will know when the time comes."
What will I know then? I was confused, but I didn't ask any more questions. Most people here knew Jiang Yi's identity, or did he need to maintain his dignity? I guessed boredly.
However, not long after Jiang Yi left, there was a whistle in the room, and then a voice said: "X, you are suffocating me to death, come on, drink and drink..." As he spoke, I didn't know. The man took out a can of beer from somewhere and took a long sip looking very happy.
The room was no longer silent, but suddenly became extremely lively, with people drinking, bragging, and even playing cards... To be honest, it looked like a room full of men. I couldn't help but smile and put down my luggage. I have some obstacles to integrating into 'strangers', but this does not prevent me from enjoying this atmosphere. This relaxed atmosphere before the war can at least relieve psychological pressure.
A day and a half later... .
I once said that it is easy to close the distance between men. A cigarette and a glass of wine may lead to a good chat. Even for a person like me who doesn’t know how to communicate and is not enthusiastic, it only takes a day and a half. Enough to make me familiar with the thirty-seven men here.
They are the main force in the battle!
There are still two hours left before the operation. This is what the captain of our combat team informed us in advance for this operation. He said: "There are still two hours of fighting. Brothers can have whatever fun they want. It's just When the time comes, don’t let your guard down. Those guys are committing heinous crimes. It can be said that they don’t treat people as human beings and have no regard for life. We want to put an end to their crimes.”
It was such a simple statement, very simple. After he finished speaking, the men in the room almost left in a hurry, clamoring to have fun, but in fact many people just went out alone to relieve stress, or call their families. I just didn't want to explain on the phone, it seemed a bit weak.
The six of us sat on the roof, with beer cooled by well water in hand. Huigen'er drank a locally produced soda, which cost 50 cents a bottle. He still didn't dare to drink.
It was already the time when the sun was setting in the west, and there was finally a hint of coolness in the air. Occasionally, there would be a very cool breeze blowing. Looking at the sunset and the shadow of the mountains in the distance, my brain appeared. There was a strange blankness where I really wasn't thinking about anything.
Hui Gen'er was still 'bragging' to me about his experiences during the days when I was lying in the hospital, such as the collection activities one after another, how they acted, forcing Lu Fanming's group to flee like rats crossing the street. , of course there are also thrills in the middle, and we all laughed, listening to Hui Gener talking about these excitedly.
As he was talking, Hui Gen'er suddenly asked: "Brother, you won't blame me for not coming to see you when you were in the hospital, right?"
When he said this, Brother Qiangzi and Yuan Yi also looked at me with guilt in their eyes and hesitated to speak... .
I put my hand on Hui Gen'er's bald head, looked into the distance, took a sip of beer, and asked, "What do you think?"
This time it was not Hui Gen'er who answered me, but Qiangzi. His words almost popped out from between his teeth: "What we think is that instead of saying anything and staying by our side, it is better to hit Lu Fanming more. The more he It's embarrassing. If you always seek revenge, you will be able to recover your injuries, so you won't hesitate even if you lose your life."
I took another swig of beer and was silent for a long time before saying, "I can understand. Just like this time, I said that I must kill Lu Fanming even if I risk my life."
In the wind, under the setting sun, everyone was silent, with a trace of firmness in their eyes. Everyone clenched their fists, but Brother Yuan Yi was just counting the pills in his hand repeatedly, which I handed over as soon as I came over. His, I haven't talked about his grandfather yet, I just said that an old friend asked me to give it to him, but he was inexplicably very concerned about the pills. Could it be that he felt something? I don’t want to think about it, so let’s fight soon. Let’s all live. After we come back alive, we can talk about other things.
In fact, I was very afraid of such a scene. Before the battle with Heiyan Miao Village, Master once offered to walk with me in the town. The sun was setting all over the sky that day. However, after returning from Heiyan Miao Village, Master disappeared soon after. .
Hopefully this time, we won’t sacrifice anyone!
The two hours came quickly, and everyone silently gathered in the room. Before that, we had already changed into standard camouflage uniforms and applied anti-mosquito lotions. The difference from real soldiers is that, They are equipped with live ammunition, and we are equipped with various magic weapons, talismans and other things.
Hongzi set off ahead of us. He is the leader of this unit. Due to some sensitive relationships, the operations department will also participate this time in order to prevent any 'accidents' on the border, like over there. army.
Why is this? I don’t want to comment, and I’m too lazy to think about it. I only know that this time we have to stop this group of people from killing Lu Fanming and destroy the little devil. If the little devil is in Lu Fanming’s place, it is our last resort. The main task.
Before Hongzi left, he hugged us and said, "My task this time is the lightest. In the end, I won't face any danger, but you all must live!"
Yes, I hope we can come back victorious and all alive. Before setting off, Jiang Yi came.
