Wedge 1

A huge slap slammed into an old desk with a loud bang that startled the correspondents who were hiding behind the computer outside the door.

"Xu Zixuan, you are fat enough, ah?! Yesterday, the No. 1 leader went to the outskirts of Beijing to investigate, where did you die? Then the important task of security is entrusted to the squad leader, who gave you this right? If there is a little accident in the chief, will you be the leader of the first class or can you afford this responsibility? Behind the desk, a 40-year-old Shandong man had a red face, and his eyes were about to bulge.

Opposite him stood a tall young man with a cold face, facing the angry roar of the Shandong man, the young man lowered his head in contemplation, and then smiled slightly, "Leader, the first birthday banquet of the boy who was not an iron egg before, the brothers were happy, drank a little too much, and couldn't get out of bed yesterday...... Somehow, the young man's smiling eyes were filled with tears.

After hearing this, the Shandong man was silent, and after a while, he slowly took out a brown paper envelope from the desk drawer and threw it in front of the young man.

"Don't think I'm an idiot, tell you that you weren't born when I was in the army! Check it out, here's a report of your actions yesterday! ”

The young man looked stupidly at the cowhide envelope in front of him, but did not open it.

"Commander, I have nothing to say, I admit punishment! But yesterday's incident was all done by me, and no one else had anything to do with it! ”

"Nothing to do with anyone else?" Shandong Dahan laughed dryly, "When the first battalion and one company of the dignified China Central Garrison Regiment were performing important tasks, none of the company cadres were there, so a few squad leaders were left to command, and you, as the commander of the first company, actually told me that it had nothing to do with anyone else?" Do you want me to call the instructor, even the deputy, and the deputy who hang the stars over to confront me? Who doesn't know that even those bunnies are looking after your horse's head? I guess if it weren't for the important escort mission yesterday, Nima and your company would have disappeared! ”

"Regiment Commander......" The young man finally raised his head, "The first company is a glorious and excellent collective, it cannot be dispersed, as the commander of the first company, I am duty-bound!" But....but....please keep one company and protect the cadres of the other companies......"

"I@¥#%¥" A series of Shandong provincial scolds erupted from the mouth of Shandong Dahan, scolding and scolding, the voice gradually became smaller, and crystal tears flowed out of the corners of Shandong Dahan's eyes.

"You stinky boy, how long has it been since I've shed a tear! TM: Did you commit a crime or did I commit a crime? Get out, you're making a big fuss, it's no longer something I can handle, the old chief called early in the morning and asked you to report to the old chief immediately. By the way, change your civilian clothes for me, no matter what the chief does, you are at least still an officer of the garrison regiment, a soldier with a black face of Lao Tzu Liu. Put on the military uniform for Lao Tzu, bring all the military medals you have obtained in the past few years, go to the chief with dignity, and tell him that you have not lost his people......."

After speaking, Shandong Dahan kicked the young man's buttocks, "Get out, you have released the No. 1 chief pigeon yesterday, if you provoke the old man again today, it is estimated that your small body bones should almost be cremated..."

When the young man gave a military salute and walked to the door, a murmuring sound reached the young man's ears.

"The mother-in-law of Tie Dan has been implemented, and the logistics department of our regiment has found her an easy position. Tiedan's son has a few of our uncles and uncles, and I can't lose him in the future, if he grows up and wants to be a soldier, even if I pull down my black face, I will send him to the army......"

When the young man heard this, his body trembled, his mouth opened, and finally he didn't speak, and walked straight out of the regiment commander's office.

"This stinky boy, it's good that you walked fast, otherwise you would have seen me cry again... I rub, when did my TM tear spots get so low? Shandong Dahan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his cuffs.

In the compound of the Military Commission, Xu Zixuan wore a straight military dress, passed through the heavy sentry posts, and came to an office with a very ordinary appearance.

Knock knock, knock on the door without hurry.

"Come in!" There was a loud sound in the room.

Xu Zixuan pushed open the door and walked into the house vigorously. The furnishings in the room are very ordinary, a set of old rattan chairs and sofas, a desk, a chair, and the rest are bookcases all over the walls.

In front of the desk sat an old man with silver hair, wearing reading glasses, carefully looking at the documents in his hand. The old man didn't react to Xu Zixuan's arrival, and he didn't even raise his head.

"Report to the chief, Xu Zixuan, the commander of the first battalion and one company of the Central Garrison Regiment, came to report, please instruct the chief!" Xu Zixuan's body collapsed straight, and he reported loudly to the old man in front of him.

Quiet...... The old man was like an old monk in his meditation, and he looked at Xu Zixuan in front of him like air. Xu Zixuan didn't think it was a pestle, and stood straight.

After almost 5 minutes, the old man finally finished reading the document in his hand. He gently took off his reading glasses, rubbed his temples, raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Zixuan who was standing in front of him.

"Why didn't it be cleaned up?" The old man said lightly.

Xu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "There was a mission yesterday, I wanted to rush to the suburbs of Beijing to carry out the defense mission after I finished it, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, the No. 1 chief had already gone back in advance!" ”

"Nonsense!" The old man slapped the table, "Since you have already made up your mind not to go to the suburbs of Beijing, why don't you dispose of the corpse and leave a lot of traces?" This is the level of the Wolf Tooth Brigade? See for yourself... How do you ask me to explain in front of the chief? After speaking, the old man threw the photos and documents in his hand in front of Xu Zixuan.

Xu Zixuan didn't dare to hold it up this time, he slowly picked up the photos and documents scattered all over the place, folded them neatly and put them back on the old man's desk.

"Chief, they should be damned! I have nothing to say, I accept everything that the organization has done to me, including my life......"

The old man looked at Xu Zixuan, who was calm in front of him, and let out a long sigh.

"Zixuan, how old are you this year? How many years have you been in the army? ”

"Report chief, I am 26 years old this year, I started to serve in the army at the age of 13, and it has been 13 years this year!"

"yes, 13 years! It's been almost 23 years since I brought you out of an orphanage in a remote county in the northeast......" The old man sighed, "When I was 6 years old, I asked you what you wanted to do when you grew up, and you didn't hesitate to say that you wanted to be a soldier!" When I was 7 years old, it was the same question, and you gave me the same answer until I was 13 years old......."

The old man suddenly became excited, and pointed to the military merit medal on Xu Zixuan's body, "This medal was awarded to you by the Marine Corps at the age of 16, and I remember that the current chief personally awarded it to you, right?" This piece was exchanged for your life when you were on a mission in the Wolf Tooth Brigade, and I still have to remember when I asked you what you wanted, and you said you didn't need anything, just give me a military merit medal to play, I think of your begging for proofing at that time, I want to spank you... Ahem! Finding that he had gone off topic, the old man immediately coughed dryly.

"Hehe..." Xu Zixuan also laughed dryly.

"Laugh, you're still laughing?" When the old man saw Xu Zixuan's attitude, his mood that had just calmed down became hot again. "13 years of military career, 8 military medals, these are so worthless to you? In order to avenge your comrades-in-arms, you can abandon all this? ”

"Yes, Chief! Tie Dan died too unjustly! He is my soldier and my brother, since the law cannot punish the murderer, I, who is a commander and a big brother, will not make a move, I am sorry for my conscience! ”

Looking at Xu Zixuan, who had a calm face, the old man sighed, "Okay! This is the path you have chosen for yourself, and I can't say anything more! Don't even think about wearing this garment, take it off! ”

"Yes!" When Xu Zixuan heard this, he didn't have any excited expression, but slowly took off the three-star epaulettes on his shoulders and the military emblem on his hat, and respectfully placed them on the old man's desk.

"Chief, no, Grandpa Guo, Xiao Xuan disappointed you, I'm sorry!"

"Go ahead! You're not a soldier now! That's all I can do for you. By the way, let's go see your Grandma Guo and Xiao Guozi in the past two days, knowing about you, your Grandma Guo has a sad face every day, and Xiao Guozi's rabbit cub pesters me every day to let me save you......"

Xu Zixuan respectfully bowed to the old man in front of him and slowly exited the office. The moment the office door closed, the sign on the office door suddenly turned over, and it read: Deputy Chief of the General Staff.

Wearing a military uniform without epaulettes and a military hat without a military insignia, Xu Zixuan walked on the path leading to the gate. Along the way, whether it was a soldier or an officer, they all silently raised their right hands to the expressionless Xu Zixuan, offering the highest respect to this military elite who was not an officer.

The next thing is very simple, Xu Zixuan returned to the garrison regiment, went through the discharge procedures, and handed over the work to the company deputy. The brothers of the whole company originally wanted to take all the blame and went to the regiment commander's office to ask the company commander to stay, but unfortunately they were sent away by Xu Zixuan's understatement.

"Wouldn't I be your big brother and brother if I took off my uniform? Do you want my big brother to walk unsteadily? ”

So, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company and even other companies stood silently on the side of the road, watching Xu Zixuan leave.

Midday. Xu Zixuan, who came to the city, casually found a small restaurant to fill in his stomach, and then stretched out his hand to hail a taxi and sit on it.

"Master, go to the Beihai Sanatorium!"

When the taxi driver heard this address, he couldn't help but shudder.

"I said, big brother, isn't that a place where anyone can go? Not to mention our taxis, even many cars can't go! Last time, I sent a guest to the botanical garden next to Beihai, and just after crossing the red line, I was stopped by the big head soldier, and I was examined for more than 1 hour before letting me go! ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? "Xu Zixuan was a little surprised, Beihai is the family home of the head of the Military Commission, and it is usually guarded by the second battalion of the garrison regiment, but I didn't expect the management to be so strict." Alright then, you just send me to the botanical garden. ”

"Okay, sit down, go away!" The distance from the city to the botanical garden is not short, which is a big job!

Standing in front of the familiar single-family courtyard, Xu Zixuan was silent. I spent my childhood here. Since she can remember, Grandma Guo has raised herself in this small courtyard as her own grandson, even after Grandma Guo's own grandson Xiao Guozi was born, Grandma Guo's love for herself has not decreased by half a point, but she has left this yard since she was 13 years old in order to be a soldier. For this matter, Grandma Guo didn't know how many times she had been awkward with Grandpa Guo, and asked Grandpa Guo to return her grandson. There is also that little Guozi, 3 years younger than himself, since he began to know how to walk, he followed his ass every day, and he went to the army, and the kid also said that he couldn't lose to his brother, and he ran around to be a soldier before he was 13 years old, and as a result, Grandma Guo cried a few times, but Grandpa Guo was very happy, and opened a bottle of Wuliangye that had been treasured for 20 years and drank it alone, and after getting drunk, he muttered in his mouth: "Okay, the two little rabbit cubs didn't disappoint me, an old man......"

"Grandma......" murder Xu Zixuan was not afraid, Xu Zixuan was not sad when he was taken off his military uniform, but looking at his grandmother who was full of silver threads and her eyes were full of pity and reluctance, Xu Zixuan's voice choked.

"Xuansun, come over and let grandma hug you!" When Grandma Guo saw her grandson, who she hadn't seen for a long time, she didn't care about her body, so she quickly got up from the recliner.

The grandfather and grandson spoke with red eyes, and then they heard a voice like thunder roaring at the door.

"Brother Xuan, are you back? Did you go to see grandpa? ”

When Xu Zixuan heard this voice, he smiled knowingly with Grandma Guo, "Grandma, it's little Guo Zi who is back!" I'll check it out! ”

Xu Zixuan came to the outside of the courtyard, and a sturdy, burly body pounced on him.

"Brother Xuan, you have been wronged. Grandpa told me that if you take off your military uniform now and do not pursue criminal responsibility, it is the best result for him to pull down his old face and beg for help. I am a humble official, and except for a few second ancestors, no one else can speak. Brother Xuan, don't you think about it......"

", you stinky boy, when can't I think about it? Look at you, you're all Marine Corps lieutenant officers, and I heard that the Wolf Tooth Tryout is about to be held, right? Running back for this little thing? Tell you, if you can't get out of the Wolf Tooth Trials this time, don't call me Brother Xuan in the future, I can't afford to lose this person! Xu Zixuan also affectionately hammered the tiger-backed man in his arms.

"Cut, I don't compare with you! You're a monster! Now no one in the army dares to shout that he is more powerful than you Xu Zixuan! Brother Xuan, in this way, I'll go to the military headquarters now to do some errands, and in the evening, let's have a good drink at night, okay? ”

"Okay, but you have to prepare more hangover pills, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep on the bed before you drink a few bottles, and grandma is worried to death!"

"Don't worry, I'm prepared! That's it, at night, our brothers and I don't see each other! After Xiao Guozi finished speaking, he jumped into the jeep at the door and wandered away.
