"Brother Su, why did you become a soldier?" Wei Qiang asked as he lay on the bed with his hands on the back of his head. Su Hongyi listened, paused, and recovered after a very short time while washing clothes, and said, "What is the reason for coming if you want to come?"

Wei Qiang seemed to be dissatisfied with Su Hongyi's answer, got up and sat on the bed and said, "Brother Su, you lie to me, although I have only been in the army for two months. But every time I look at you, it doesn't look like you've come in for no reason, you work harder and suffer more than everyone else. There are too few recruits who can do it like you. Su Hongyi continued to wash his clothes as if he hadn't heard what Wei Qiang said.

Wei Qiang saw that Su Hongyi ignored him, so he said to himself: "I came to be a soldier, how can I say it, first, my family asked me to be a soldier, and second, because of a person." Speaking of this, Wei Qiang's eyes dimmed a little, and then recovered.

"Qiangzi, I joined the army not for anything else, but to fight for breath. In my family, there are three sons, and I am the second. said it was the second child, but they never regarded me as a family member. Su Hongyi clutched the camouflage uniform he trained today.

"Brother Su......" Wei Qiang said. Su Hongyi looked at Wei Qiang, who was sitting on the bed, smiled reluctantly and said, "There is no strong son, I have long been used to it." Just because I was an illegitimate child, they didn't treat me like family. belittled me everywhere, my brother didn't treat me as a brother, and the most hateful thing was that my father said that he knew that he shouldn't have let me enter the Su family seven years ago. I was sixteen years old when I said this. ”

The corners of Su Hongyi's eyes moistened a little, and they rubbed their shoulders to wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes. "My mother, until she died, kept saying that my father was a good person and would treat me well. But a husband who has left his wife behind for nine years, is he worthy to be a father, worthy to be a father? So I left, that so-called home. When I came to the army, I just wanted them to see that I, Su Hongyi, am not a useless person. Look down on me now, and don't deserve to look at me in the future!"

Wei Qiang sat on the bed, his eyes flashing with tears that he didn't know if it was or not. One turned over and turned from the top bunk to the bottom and said: "In the future, you will be my own brother, and when the two of us are successful, let those old bastards who value their backgrounds take a look." Su Hongyi looked at Wei Qiangwei and said tremblingly: "Silly boy." But Su Hongyi didn't realize that he was laughing.

"Beep!" whistle pierced like a sharp sword, and the silence of the night. Then the radio said, "Three shifts urgently assemble at the playground - three shifts urgently assemble at the playground." ”

Wei Qiang quickly put on his clothes, because it was an emergency gathering, so he didn't need to wear training clothes. "Brother Su, let's go. "There was the sound of messy footsteps in the hallway.

Three minutes later, the fighters of the three squads had already assembled on the playground.

The instructor walked around the team and said, "Just now, the command headquarters gave me a mission, asking me to pick five soldiers out and carry out a mission tomorrow." As for what it is, someone will explain it to you tomorrow. ”

After speaking, the instructor glanced around the team and said, "Su Hongyi, Zeng Yi, Li Feng, Wu Haotian, Wei Qiang." The five of you pack up at seven o'clock tomorrow and assemble at the gate of the troops, and someone will come to pick you up. "Yes," replied the five fighters who had just been named.

After the instructor finished announcing, he turned his head and walked towards the dormitory, saying as he walked, "Disband." Don't be late for training tomorrow. The five I just named come with me. ”

Wei Qiang, Su Hongyi, Zeng Yi, Li Feng, and Wu Haotian followed behind the instructor. When he arrived at the instructor's dormitory, Wei Qiang looked around. "The instructor's dormitory, except for small gym equipment, is nothing. Huh?" Wei Qiang's eyes were drawn to a photo frame on the instructor's desk, and the photo in the frame was a woman. The woman in the photo is picking flowers in a field and is wearing a pale yellow dress.

There is a faint smile on his face, although it is faint, but it gives people a feeling as if it can be healed, not like a smile that can be found in the mortal world.

"I have called you to tell you why you were chosen. Wu Haotian, three years of enlistment is the longest enlistment among the five of you, Li Feng has two years and one month, Zeng Yi has one and a half years, Su Hongyi has two months, and Wei Qiang has two months. The instructor's words made Wei Qiang's attention attracted by the photo frame retract.

"You may wonder why I chose two recruits for this mission. The instructor said. The instructor walked in front of Wu Haotian, who was one meter eight or five tall, plus the muscles on his body that were visible to the naked eye. There is always a sense of fear. "Wu Haotian, tell me. The team training of our hot summer troops. ”

"Don't give up hope, don't abandon your teammates, don't compromise with the enemy. Wu Haotian replied. The instructor nodded, "What did I give you to answer me?" "Bloody, arrogant, impulsive. ”

The instructor snorted coldly: "You haven't forgotten, I thought you forgot." This morning I said that whoever has hit me can rest, and your eyes can hide faster than anyone else. Is this something that a bloody, proud warrior should have?"

Wu Haotian lowered his head, the instructor snorted coldly, pointed at Su Hongyi and said: "Why did I choose him as a recruit, because he dared to do what you guys didn't dare to do after a few years of being a soldier, this is my soldier, don't bow your head, don't give up." Even if he failed today, I could see in his eyes that he would not admit defeat. And you, cowardly, afraid. ”

The instructor pointed at Wei Qiang again and said, "I chose him, do you know why?" Because even if he was bound to fail, he still did not give up attacking Su Hongyi, and I saw the momentum from this kid. ”

At this time, the other three fighters lowered their heads one after another. The instructor looked at it: "Raise your head." A bloody warrior should not bow his head. Only by not admitting defeat and not admitting defeat will I win my respect. ”

Wu Haotian, Li Feng, and Zeng Yi slowly raised their heads and said, "Instructor, we were wrong. The instructor turned around, raised his right hand and shook it, and said, "Go back and rest early, and look forward to your successful completion of the mission." "Yes" Wei Qiang and the other five put their right hands into fists on their left chests and gave a military salute.

The five of them were about to leave, "Brother Su, I'll tell you." Wei Qiang whispered. Wei Qiang went to the playground to run ten laps before returning to the dormitory to rest. The instructor's words interrupted Wei Qiang.

"You and I didn't see the warrior who was distracted as soon as he entered the house, and he was distracted. Do you think he's a good fighter?" the other four laughed. Wei Qiang drooped his head and said, "Yes." ”

Five people walked out of the playground, but none of the other four returned to the dormitory. All running laps on the playground. They didn't pay attention, and the instructor was watching them by the window at this time, and the instructor's face also showed a smile that had not been seen in a hundred years.
