Probably in 2008, around May.
In the Olympic year, the whole country carnival, these people are day and night.
Anyone who has been fighting terrorism all the year round understands that in such an important year, people at home and abroad are staring at this land.
That year, Lu Yanchen and the entire EOD team went out of the province frequently for more than half a year, and they were all lined up for well-known conferences and events, all of them supporting security tasks. In those days, there was an important conference in Yunnan. He and some key members of the EOD team arrived early, took a two-day break, reported going out, and went to Malipo County, Wenshan Prefecture.
This place-name EOD squad is often mentioned during internal training. They are like ordinary travelers who went to the minefield at night.
"Team Lu, do you want to bring one of our squads over for on-site training?" The squad leader of the EOD squad squatted outside the stone tablet in the minefield, teasing Lu Yanchen, "Would you like to make a report and come once?"
"It's not your turn if you think about it," Lu Yanchen sat down on the dirt slope, "I just want to bring you all to see the scenery."
Millions of mines have been laid on this front, and now only half of them have been cleared.
This batch of landmines will be scrapped for 120 years, and when they are scrapped, they will have to rely on people to clean them up again and again. I remember when he went out to teach, people asked him, isn't there a machine now? Machine demining is highly safe, but in fact, when the situation is urgent, the terrain is complex, and the types are intertwined and buried, the greater the risk of the operation, the more manual demining is required.
When you sit in such a place, you can calm down, and at a glance, there are too many tasks that have not been completed.
On the second day of the meeting, Lu Yanchen, as a member of the expert group, supported on-site security and stayed on the lawn outside the venue.
Casual wear, black clothes, black pants, black hat, with a name tag hanging around his neck, he sat with a group of people outside the inconspicuous venue, in the corner of the lawn, drinking water and resting.
The captain came to offer condolences, without saying a word, Lu Yanchen slowly screwed the cap on the mineral water bottle, twisting it too hard, the light blue translucent bottle cap cracked with a trace, but he didn't notice it. As his immediate boss who has been with him for many years, this is so unusual that Team Chen's first instinct is that there is trouble, and there are unusual people in the file.
Following Lu Yanchen's gaze, there were only two girls in short skirts with a few young men.
Very young and pretty. But absolutely unfamiliar.
For a full minute, this man chased the fugitive and ran for thousands of miles. For days and nights, the military dog was too tired to climb up, but the man found a straw rope to tie the worn military boots firmly, and climbed the cliff with his bare hands to chase people. The captain of the squadron had lost all his calmness and indifference towards the bustling world. There were so many emotions in those eyes that he didn't even expect it.
For many years, he didn't count it seriously, but he remembered it for a long time.
The girl who I couldn't see when I returned to Beijing is now 100 meters away. The big bell on the platform of the Beijing Railway Station on the Second Ring Road was still in my ears, and the beloved girl finally got what she wanted to meet.
No wonder the captain remembered that Lu Yanchen's small movements were too abrupt.
Several fingers of his right hand were clenched until the knuckles were white, and his eyelashes were fluttering slightly. Finally, he looked away, excused it was too hot, and went to the sink to wash his face. The brigade captain smelled something wrong, but during the mission, support security couldn't talk more about personal topics. Looking at the watch, there are still 30 minutes left, and the squad leader of the EOD squad is called and instructed: "Your captain is not feeling well today, you should be more careful." The squad leader of the EOD squad agreed, thinking: Just kidding, the road team is that The master who is seriously injured and unable to get off the line of fire, what is 'uncomfortable'
Countdown, twenty-five minutes, Lu Yanchen was in the open-air sink, and kept washing his face with cold water.
Counting down, twenty-four minutes, he propped up his hands beside the expensive sink and lowered his head to calm himself.
Countdown, twenty-three minutes, he lowered his head lower, buried in his arms, unable to see his face.
Countdown, twenty-two minutes, people still maintain that posture.
Countdown, twenty-one minutes, the intercom on the body rang: "Road team, there are suspicious objects on the north side of the lawn. I have tried the metal detector, and it must be an electronic product."
Without hesitation, the man rushed out in a single step.
There were still 20 minutes left for the meeting, and there was no time to put on the explosion-proof suit and negotiate. With a few gestures, he made the second team stand by and took the tools handed by the people around him. On the turf where the suspicious item was found, several square meters had already been opened. He approached slowly, crawled on the turf, reached out his hand, and pushed away the soil little by little—
In this case, he has only one task, to remove the danger.
If he couldn't get rid of it, he ran away from the crowd with the explosives in his arms. Of course, the scene of being bombed to pieces was not ruled out.
The second he crawls onto the turf, he has a complicated thought in his mind for the first time before disarming the bomb: Gui Xiao.
…
Three minutes later, Lu Yanchen half raised his arms and made a release gesture.
With one hand on the lawn, he got up from the lawn, his whole body relaxed: "It's not an explosive, check what is next, and fill in a list." The EOD squad leader, who was counting the time behind him and judging whether to evacuate the crowd, couldn't help but scold. After a sentence: "Damn, didn't you say that you checked it out last night? Who did the rough work?"
Under the black coat, the half sleeves that Lu Yanchen was wearing were easily soaked through.
Three minutes ago, he had two bad thoughts: if the power was too great and spread too wide, would he have time to evacuate the crowd; if he was torn apart by the bomb and was seen by Gui Xiao when picking up the body... Fortunately, nothing happened. .
The meeting went on as usual that day.
Attendees and guests won't know what's happening on the lawn.
At the end of the day's support, Lu Yanchen smoked a cigarette outside the venue before getting on the bus, thinking that it is rare to be so close to her, so he will stay a little longer. A cigarette was just enough to circle the outside of the arena. The sun was burning on his eyelids. He squinted to see where the car was, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can beside the glass revolving door, and jumped into the car in the face of the sun. go.
Since then, she has returned to her Beijing, and he has gone to his frontier.
This happened before the gas station met.
In Lu Yanchen's mouth, there was not much emotional description, and he was finished in a few words. Gui Xiao's body felt tight, then loose, and her arms were numb. She was thinking about that meeting. It was nothing special. Some economic forums seemed to have a great international influence. Many of them were invitations on a routine basis. Yes, the half-day meeting followed the weekend and spent a few days in Yunnan.
Upstairs, in the hall, someone was speaking on the stage, and hundreds of people were listening in the audience. From time to time, some people lost their minds, twisted the water to drink, or looked through the information in their hands... But downstairs, there were a bunch of people who didn't even have military uniforms. The EOD expert who wore it, checked every inch of the lawn, and even prepared for all sacrifices.
The glory of some professions is destined to be buried deep, because their every move is within the scope of secrecy. No propaganda, no reporting, in other words, even the most popular public relations in modern times can't shape the image. Gui Xiao still remembered that when he and Lu Chen were going to reconcile with Hershey, they looked up their information on the forum. There were very few, or even a lot of bad comments.
But she also remembered that she once saw a report praising an EOD hero, who was a rare person who was 100% successful in EOD. What this number means, that is, whoever is involved in this area will fail, be injured, disabled, die in some way. Has anyone reported it? No. The numbers are buried and no one will pay attention.
In the past, these were far away from her.
But once, in truth, she was protected by Lu Yanchen's life at some point.
And she didn't know.
"Fate, sister-in-law, you and our road team have been together for several lifetimes," Qin Mingyu immediately determined, "It is said that the two of you want to be together, and there must be some proof of fate, and that's it!"
The EOD squad leader also had a surprisingly good memory, so he added a sharp note: "I rely on, I remember, I rely on, when the support came back, a few squadrons ate, and the Lu team played the harmonica on behalf of our team. I cried a lot of brothers. It was the only time in my life that I heard the road team play the harmonica. I didn’t understand it not long after I came here. When I asked, it turned out to be a bachelor. I found another reason for myself, that road team must have not met a good woman for many years, thinking of spring, who would have thought, there is more to come... "
The song "In a Foreign Country" was popular all over the country before many people became soldiers. The sentence "I want to go back to my hometown and come back to her side" sings | The eyes of many soldiers became popular.
…
Lu Yanchen had a rare little secret, which he didn't hide, was revealed in public, or was shaken out in front of his old subordinates. Silent.
By the time they leave, the wine should be finished. People are going too.
The drinker took them to the car, next to Lu Yanchen's car door, Lu Yanchen reached out his hand and slapped the head of the squad leader: "Don't be a fool without arms and legs, go back I can't get a wife."
The squad leader of the EOD squad rubbed the back of his head: "Team Lu, didn't I just reveal the side you miss your sister-in-law? As for the filming? Don't worry, when I return home, I'll definitely find someone more beautiful than my sister-in-law."
"What are you two talking about," Qin Mingyu couldn't help laughing, "you can't think about a divorced man like me?"
Lu Yanchen smiled: "Let's go."
He has always been a neat person, and he will get in the car after throwing this word.
Outside the car, Qin Mingyu still ignored his advice and sent someone a message ahead of time. Those former team members who took a short break after breakfast all flocked to the car. Knowing Lu Yanchen's temper, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, just take a last look.
Lu Yanchen put on the sunglasses that had been left in the storage compartment at hand.
"Go down and say a few words," Gui Xiaoyu couldn't bear it, "it's better to say one more word."
"Iron barracks, flowing water soldiers," Lu Yanchen looked calmly from the edge of his sunglasses, "What should be said, I finished it when I left."
Unable to discern the emotion in his eyes, he turned the steering wheel and left with one foot of the accelerator.
The second-hand car is broken, and there is no license plate here, but when you open the door, you will attract the attention of the two sentries at the door, and both soldiers will say goodbye.
Lu Yanchen also raised his hand in the dazzling sunlight shining in from the front windshield, and gave a strong military salute.
The blood is still hot and flowing, and the heart is still alive, in the chest cavity.
Great rivers and mountains, you and I will protect you, you don't need to say goodbye to what you want in this life.
