Chapter 43: The Mad Dog and the Hare
Just as I was staring at the gentleman's orchid on the coffee table, there was a sudden knock on the door.
I didn't know who it was, so I slowly got up and opened the door, which is a problem I have developed since I came back from the army, and I am careless in whatever I do, which has led many people to look at me and say that I don't look like a soldier. Whatever, I'm willing to do it myself.
When I opened the door, it was her, and not only that, but there was also a good girlfriend of hers standing next to her, and we had met a few times.
She was keeping her head down, like a little girl who had done something wrong.
Seeing this, her best friend said, "Oh? I also know that when I opened the door, Zheng Xin cried with me all night, didn't I bring her to you, and didn't let us in? ”
I didn't speak, just stared at her with my head down, and then opened the door for them to come in.
I vacated the sofa for them, and I brought a small stool myself to sit across from the coffee table.
She kept her head down, and I didn't know what she was guilty about, but it was my fault, wasn't it? What is she guilty about?
But her best friend didn't care, and as soon as she sat down, she asked, "Do you have anything to drink?" ”
"I'll get it for you."
I opened the fridge and took a few bottles of Sprite and put them on the table.
"Alain, I can't drink ice." Her best friend's name is Alain, and I don't know what her big name is, and I don't bother to know.
Alain took a big sip of his own sip, and then hiccuped comfortably, but he was not informal.
I saw her pat Zheng Xin: "What are you doing here?" Say! ”
She lowered her head and twisted it for a while, and then whispered, "Xiaochen, I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong. . . ”
I'm speechless, what are you sorry for with me? What does this have to do with you?
I saw Alain staring at the medical records on the table, I quickly reached out and took it, and then said to her, "We all broke up, what do you say sorry?" ”
"Then who told you to come back so late that day and bring back a drunk, you didn't even say hello to me."
"What drunkard? That's my platoon leader! My voice unconsciously raised a little.
I saw that she seemed to have another excuse, yes, isn't that what a woman is? Anything louder will be chattering with you, arguing, and all of them are inconsequential things.
"Alain, look at him, he is always like this, your platoon leader, your platoon commander, didn't you just be a soldier for a few days? Is it that important? ”
Seeing that we were all angry, Alain began to gently pat her on the back, and then waved at me: "It's okay, it's okay, calm and calm." ”
She seemed to have been greatly wronged, and tears came out again: "He is always like this, Alain, he loses his temper with me for no reason, he likes to look at those photos when he has nothing to do, he doesn't care about me at all, by the way, there is this thing." As she spoke, she took out a handicraft made of foreign coins from a box on the coffee table and threw it vigorously on the ground.
Now I'm stupid, that handicraft, I have kept it for nearly four years, I have preserved it very well, the number on it, is given to the other party when foreign men and women show love, and now it is mercilessly thrown on the ground, making a "pop" sound, and my heart suddenly stopped with the "pop".
Those memories resurfaced, I clenched my fists, and suddenly I had a feeling of murder, tears rolled in my eyes, and I roared, "Get out of here!" ”
Now it's not just she's stupid, Alain is stupid, they don't know what this means to me.
She cried even harder, got up and stepped on her high heels and left the room, leaving Alain on the couch stunned.
I picked up the artifact with trembling hands and put it back in the box, trying to restrain my temper from start to finish.
After calming down for a while, I said to Alain, "I'm sorry to scare you." ”
"What is PTSD?" Alain asked, as if nothing had happened.
I was stunned for a moment, but she still saw the medical record, so I shook my head: "I don't know either." ”
Alain's phone rang, she picked up the phone, glanced at it, got up and said, "I have to go down, lest your girlfriend be jealous." ”
I nodded, and when she left, I got up and picked up the box containing the coin artifact and put it in the closet.
I try to make myself feel calm, try not to recall those things again.
Then I sat on the sofa again and stared at the pot of gentleman's orchid.
"Boom~~~Whistling Dust~~Boom~~" The voice of a magpie came from the headphones again.
When did I fall asleep when I woke up and saw that the sky was already bright and the fire next to me had been extinguished?
I pressed and held the headset back: "Can I hear it when I receive it?" ”
This time's reply is much clearer than the last time, "Huh~~ Where are you?" ”
I was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and stepped on the fire extinguishing pile while looking around, there was a signal tower on the peak of the mountain not far away, so I looked at the compass on my watch, pressed and held the headset and replied: "There is a mountain with a signal tower on it, can you see it?" I'm north of it. ”
The other side hesitated for nearly a minute, and then the magpie said, "See. . . Huh~~ It's too far. ”
As soon as the magpie finished speaking, I was attracted by a few figures in the distance, as if they were walking, but I still didn't feel right.
I slowly raised my pistol and held down the headphones: "I seem to have a situation here." ”
Since the sky was not yet completely bright, I couldn't see what the moving figures were wearing clearly, and the distance was a little far, so I couldn't shoot rashly, in case the ordinary people who came to travel would be too guilty.
I was stunned for a while, and several figures came from far to near, and when they reached about a hundred meters, they also saw me, and I saw a person who was looking at me carefully.
Then listen to "Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots rang out, and two bullets slashed directly against my body, and I immediately turned around, picked up some dry food and water, picked up the stick, and limped away.
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, what stupid did I just make? Why am I stunned?
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, how did these guys find them?
Dogs?
I suddenly remembered the off-road vehicle that was hijacked yesterday, damn forget about it, they must have called the police.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to find it so quickly.
There seemed to be only five of them, and it was certainly impossible for me to confront them with a pistol.
I'll have to figure out how to get out of the way, and if I can't, I'll talk about something else.
I was certainly not as fast as theirs, and I fled, as if I were flying, with a stick.
Later, I often said to others, I run faster than you on one leg, not without reason, I don't know if it is an illusion, I am on crutches as if I am indeed running fast, the wind in my ears whistling by, like a lame hare.
The gunshots rang out again behind me, and I immediately found a rock to crouch behind.
There's no way to hide behind a tree, a modern military rifle can shoot through a tree trunk, it's true, so it's okay to hide behind a tree, I can't fully believe it, at least I won't use a tree as a cover in the first place.
I pulled out my pistol and aimed it at an enemy and pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the stone at his feet, which was so far away that the trajectory of the pistol bullet dropped so badly that I fired a few more shots at the other men, and they stopped the pursuit.
I got up again and started running, nonsense, I have a limited number of bullets and they are running out of bullets, so I have to wait to die.
As I ran, I used the rocks and trees around me to block their view so that they couldn't aim at me for a while.
This trick is very practical, otherwise even if a normal person shoots four or five shots at a person who is running wildly, there will definitely be one shot that hits, not to mention that they are still serious soldiers, although they are not as good as our country, but there is still marksmanship.
They kept chasing after me like mad dogs, and I kept running for my life like an outlawed hare.
The road under my feet began to gradually turn downhill, and I had no idea where I was at this point.
I held down my headphones and said, "Magpie Magpie, do you hear my gunshots here?" ”
There was no response in the headset, and I yelled at me and turned around and shot back.
"Bang Bang~~ Click!" Empty bin standby, I crouched on the ground and replaced the last magazine.
It's over, I'm done with this magazine.
If I were to sneak attack at close range, I would have been able to take down three or four of them at the first time, but not now, it's not a sneak attack, and the sneak attack has an advantage, even if the enemy sneaks up on us, we will immediately suffer heavy losses.
But head-on confrontation, if you want to fight many people alone, don't think about it without wisdom and strategy, I'm just an ordinary special forces, I'm not an omnipotent god in the sky, even if it's the best special forces in the world, I only have to flee for my life in my case.
There is nothing to doubt about this, it is pure nonsense to say that a special soldier can kill dozens of enemies head-on, and the fall of the old American Black Hawk still relies on the close cooperation of the team, the sophisticated assembly system, and the deployment and transfer of the commander, and with such an advantage, isn't it still a dozen dead?
So I didn't have any advantage today, wasn't it understandable that I was chased by five enemies like rabbits?
The gunfire kept ringing out behind me, and I made a few turns to interfere with their line of sight, and then raised my gun to aim at an enemy, and this shot was aimed at the chest, and the enemy clutched his thigh and screamed.
An enemy not far from him pulled him behind a rock.
I have fourteen bullets left, and I can't afford to waste them.
They didn't stop after one person was injured, but the remaining four people chased after me even more frantically, as if you were talking about it again, and you were so alone! Hurry up and let us bite to death, we'll all save trouble.
Seeing this, I could only pick up my crutches and run wildly again.
