"You still have the face to say I'm crazy? I think you're the one who is really crazy, right?"

"You don't sleep at night, what are you running on this road? Don't tell me that you plan to increase the amount of training for yourself because of your bad grades, He Mo, you don't have this kind of consciousness yet!"

"Don't be stupid! Before the instructor finds out, you can go back with me!"

After saying that, Gu Zheng planned to drag this unseemly kid back, and nip all dangers in the bud before the incident.

Who would have thought that this kid who listened to Gu Zheng's words the most on weekdays pulled Gu Zheng's hand away, and the usual hippie smiling face showed a rare amount of seriousness.

"Gu Zheng, I don't want to go back, I don't know how you found out, but I hope you have the right to pretend that you haven't seen me tonight, let me go." ”

"After you go back, you climb into bed and fall asleep, and when you wake up again, He Mo has nothing to do with you. ”

"Maybe after you leave the army, you will return to Pingcheng, and we will have a day to meet again, but you need to let me go today. ”

Hearing this, Gu Zheng was not moved by He Mo's words for half a minute, his hand swished back to He Mo's chest, and he used a little more strength than just now, and ...... again pulled up the other party's collar, and it directly ...... He Mo's whole person The toes of Ti slip off the ground.

This is the first time Gu Zheng said to his friend who had just admitted in a reprimanding tone: "Don't think I don't know what you think He Mo, you are a coward!"

"Don't tell me that you are a soldier just to make a bet for a friend, because I haven't found out who is just for a bet...... You can bet your whole life. ”

"You dare to say that there was never a soldier's dream in your heart?"

"If you weren't subconsciously really willing, would you think that the family that doted on you more than anything else would allow you to go all the way to join such a hard-working army with no future in sight?"

"He Mo, if you are a man, you must be brave enough to admit it, don't deceive others at the same time, but also deceive your true mood!"

Hearing this, He Mo fell silent all of a sudden, and in his mind, a majestic figure in a green military uniform appeared, which made him suddenly remember...... The reason why he came to join the army.

He Mo, who was emotional, gently grinned at Gu Zheng, who was glaring angrily, with a particularly awkward lip shape, and finally said his most honest heart: "Yes, I am about to forget myself, when I first signed up, I really wanted to be a soldier." ”

"You're also from Pingcheng, you should know, right? Who are the people in the compound where our family is located?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng was stunned, but nodded his head.

I know that the area where He Mo lives is the latest and best residential area in Pingcheng, all of which are seven-story cement buildings, and for Gu Zheng, who still lives in the bungalow dormitory area, it is equivalent to the current high-end apartment area of more than 100,000 yuan per square meter.

And the people who bought houses in that place were the first to get rich in Pingcheng.

Whether it is a down-and-down master, a person who runs transportation, or does a small business, they are all groups with very flexible minds and big courage.

And in the eyes of Gu Zheng's family, this group of people is restless and takes advantage of the country's loopholes.

Sooner or later, the group will be taken away by the police.

But there is one thing about them that is undeniable...... That's money.

To be more specific, it is the nouveau riche whose quality level has not kept up with the growth of money, the smell of copper on their bodies and the rampant arrogance of the poor after they suddenly get rich, which cannot be concealed at all.

Naturally, this resulted in them becoming the first group of poor people to grovel to money.

But this group of people did not think this was pathetic, but because of the confidence given by money, they wantonly ridiculed all unprofitable positions and the character of people who did not make money.

For example, the most common slips of the tongue basically come from the ridicule and self-deprecation of the people of that era.

Those who build missiles are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs, and those who they despise the most, those who are dirty and poor, and those who are poor soldiers.

As one of them, He Mo can appear in this military camp, which is already very revealing.

This young man, who has never looked serious, admires soldiers very much in his bones.

Seeing Gu Zheng nodding, He Mo rubbed his hair a little irritably, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was talking to Gu Zheng, and he was a friend he admired very much...... said something that belonged to He Mo when he was a child.

It was a cliché about heroes, just a gesture by a strange soldier he didn't know passing by He Mo's house.

A neat move to rescue the hostages brought the big son of the He family, who was not rich at the time, who was still snotty...... The unintentional act of snatching it back from the hands of the vicious human traffickers has become the existence of light in He Mo's heart.

This made the idea of being a soldier become He Mo's obsession, and it wasn't until the recruit's three-month training period that he broke the last bit of luck in his heart.

Sometimes the distance between my wishes and reality is too far away, and I can't see the end of success.

And Gu Zheng, who clearly understood the beginning and the end, showed a rare smile of pleasure, he no longer said any big truth, but explained a fact to He Mo in an extremely relaxed tone.

"Since it's not an impulsive choice, you should stick to it. ”

"How difficult it is for a person to be clear about his dreams and to realize them. ”

"As for your escape, can I understand it as your kind escape?"

"Actually, if it weren't for the captain's rule, you might not have chosen to leave the barracks in such a stupid way, right?"

"You're afraid of dragging everyone down, but under your babbling appearance, you actually have a very gentle heart. ”

Gu Zheng's words suddenly made He Mo's whole person red.

If it weren't for the darkness of the night, Gu Zheng would have seen the existence of a braised living person.

No, after He Mo on the other side was commented on by Gu Zheng, he stammered a little when he retorted: "What, how can there be...... I just can't endure hardship......" But under Gu Zheng's trusting and knowing gaze, He Mo's words of defense became lower and lower, until he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly and admitted what Gu Zheng said.......

"Well, you're right, I'm resentful of my own incompetence, and even more regretful of my usual pampering. ”

"But what I'm most afraid of is hurting you good friends, good brothers, whom I have just met. ”

"Do you know? During the two months in the barracks, I knew that our group of people would have to go our separate ways according to the orders in the end, but I always felt that you were my friends for life. Even if it is separation, it is temporary. ”

"There will always be a day when we will get together again. ”

"I have not had many true friends since I was a child, Gu Zheng, you are counted as one. ”

"I chose to leave because I was afraid of losing a friend like you, do you understand?"

Seeing that the young man on the other side was getting more and more excited, Gu Zheng let go of the collar he had never put down, dusted the dust on it for He Mo very casually, and replied very easily: "Hey, I guessed it in the end, what a big deal." ”

"Don't worry, the people in our class are all good-tempered, with different personalities but they are very upright, and no one will blame you for this. ”

That's why I'm even more embarrassed?

Without waiting for He Mo to open his mouth to refute again, Gu Zheng's words followed: "Besides, now it's not even a problem to do the last thing, haven't you noticed?"

"How fast did you run away?"

"We're at the turnaround point at 2.5 kilometers now, exactly ten minutes after the time I came after you. ”

"According to your current momentum and speed, if you can still maintain this level, by the time you run back to the barracks, not to mention the 27-minute passing line, even the 21-minute excellent line, you will be able to meet the standard. ”

He Mo, who heard this: Huh, ah!, wow!!

After he lost his mind for a short time, he jumped up, hugged Gu Zheng, and was about to rub it against the other party's face, at the same time, his mouth kept shouting in disbelief: "I really ran so fast?"

"Is this true? Gu Zheng, you can deceive my simple heart. ”

And Gu Zheng, who was hugged by He Mo, pushed away the other party's slightly stinky mouth because of the recent fire with great disgust, and gave He Mo a reassuring pill very surely: "Don't worry, you don't know me yet?"

"Never tell a lie that doesn't correspond to the facts. ”

"So ......" Gu Zheng, who became serious in an instant, tore He Mo off his body, stared at the other party's eyes, and repeated word by word: "He Mo, you have been improving, but you didn't notice it because of the inferiority complex in your heart." ”

"When a person is always self-hypnotizing and I can't do it, even if you do it in the end, it will become inadequate. ”

"Now you just need the encouragement of others, with today's run as a foundation, give yourself another chance to try, right?"

"Tomorrow's morning run, you follow me, let's do it again, after seeing the real results, let's talk about leaving?"

"Shall we run back today? Let me feel your speed?"

"After all, in another half an hour, maybe the instructor's second ward round will come over, and it's still too late to go back now. ”

Hearing this, He Mo didn't know why tears were floating in his eyes, he nodded heavily and responded: "Okay! Let's go back together, I'll try again, this time it's not for everyone, it's for my hard work." ”

"Gu Zheng, thank you, it was you who let me know, the training these days is not useless. ”

When He Mo said this, Gu Zheng, who had already stepped forward in advance, didn't bother to continue to sensationalize with him, if he said a few more words, I am afraid that this talker would patronize and express his gratitude along the way, maybe it would delay the speed of the two of them, if it was because of this, the other party lost confidence, it would be too much to lose.

So, the current Gu Zheng just waved on the dirt road in front of him, signaling He Mo to hurry up and return with his rhythm, so he didn't say a word anymore, and ran first...... Let He Mo, who was left alone and finally reflected his current situation, quickly rubbed his slightly cold arm, and hurriedly followed.

"Hey, you wait for me, this Panasonic is in his senses, and I feel scared!"

"Hey, you said Gu Zheng, there won't be any wolves or tigers in the woods on both sides of this road......"

He Mo's voice gradually disappeared on this road with the running, so that the dirt road, which was still a little angry, returned to its usual quiet state again, and with the dark and somewhat depressing night, it inexplicably brought a sense of loneliness.

And in this lonely environment, five minutes after Gu Zheng and the others left here, in the woods on both sides of the road that He Mo thought was empty...... Suddenly, a low, but very clear command sounded.

"The first reconnaissance team, night stealth training, this is the end!"

"Concealment of the incubation time, a total of one hour, with a tendency to expose the wrong movements, zero reaction. ”

"This time, everyone's performance was very good, and it will be counted in the subsequent results later. ”

"I hope everyone will continue to work hard and show a better side. ”

"Okay, without further ado, after ten minutes of rest, run and move forward, targeting Area 3 on the map. ”

"Did you hear me clearly? If you don't understand, you are allowed to ask a question once!"

And as this command sounded, on both sides of the dirt road where Gu Zheng and He Mo had staged a touching comradeship just now, there were nearly twenty or thirty people who stood up.

It looks like a reconnaissance platoon, training in a small mission as a group.

And these well-trained, concealed soldiers, who were almost the same as non-existent, did not slack off after standing up, but lightly saluted in the direction of the platoon commander they ordered, and then responded in unison: "Hear me clearly! After that, he brushed off the tense energy that was hidden in the prostrate just now, and sat up on the ground to show relaxation.

These ten minutes were very precious for soldiers like them who were training in actual combat, but in the process of resting, they did not hesitate to use the scene they had just seen with their own eyes as a topic of idle conversation and relaxation, and gathered to chat.

The most active among them was the first to speak: "Well, you all heard it just now, didn't you?"

"What these two eggs said almost made me laugh out loud. ”

"You say, what does our platoon commander think about the desertion incident? After the training, will he go to the recruit instructor to react?"

In and out of the words, they all look down on the recruits.

And after the words of this active person, it was their squad leader, who had been a soldier for seven years, and the veteran who had been a soldier for seven years interrupted these words when the other party was about to say something more ugly: "Wang Xiaobao, don't talk cool here, it's better to keep your mouth shut and save your physical strength." ”

"There are our platoon commanders and company commanders who go out on training missions together, so you don't need to worry about this little soldier. ”

"Besides......" The old squad leader's slightly honest voice was lowered by three points: "When I was picked into the reconnaissance company, the top grades in the recruit unit suddenly became the bottom, who couldn't stand the contrast, and secretly cried in the bed with his head covered at night?"

"Don't laugh at those recruits because your current grades have gone up, who of us didn't come up step by step from that stage?"

"Let's be tolerant of these people. ”

"It's good for me to see that the recruit just now can recognize his mistakes and change his mind and come back bravely. ”

"This courage is commendable! You say yes, platoon commander?"

In the end, the honest-faced squad leader leaned his face behind the class member and showed a big harmless smile.

With this sentence, the soldiers of the entire squad also turned their heads behind the squad member who spoke first.

Behind him stood a man in a dusty military uniform, who did not say a word, as if he was about to merge with the night...... Unobtrusive.

"Platoon commander!"

"Platoon commander!"

After seeing this person's figure, the members of the group who were still sitting on the ground were about to get up and salute, but they were stopped by this commander who was unwilling to show off: "Everyone don't care about me, I'm just coming to listen to your chat." ”

"One more thing, since you are the closest group to the two recruits, I wanted to come over and ask, have you noticed the behavior of the little man who chased after him, and have you noticed any differences in him?"

Hearing the platoon commander's question, the soldiers who had been paying attention to concealment with all their hearts looked at each other.

In the end, it was the squad leader, after his platoon commander asked, he pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, he returned with a little uncertainty: "I don't know if it's my delusion, when that kid was reasoning with that deserter, he looked in the direction of our prostrate and hidden three times." ”

"Because the distance is not too close, and the sky is too dark, I can't see what the other person's eyes are. ”

"But platoon commander, you don't think that recruit found out where we are in hiding, do you?"

"It's impossible! In the process of crawling, our team members didn't make any sound or movement. ”

When he saw the squad leader on the opposite side, he was about to get up excitedly, and the platoon commander standing behind them pressed his hand again: "Don't be excited,"

"Your results won't be deducted from my guesses, I'm just here to make sure......"
