Chapter 9: The Meaning of Living
Hearing his words, I subconsciously turned my head to look. The balloon on my side was shattered by Zhao Lei.
"Why,,, that," I looked at him in confusion.
Zhao Lei lit a cigarette and said casually, "You won, isn't it weird?" ”
"But you still have bullets, you can continue to fight, and even, you can even choose to kill me?" I asked, looking at him quizzically.
"I don't keep fighting because I see goodness in you, and I don't have long to live. Put in the killing of you, well, I used to be a soldier and a soldier is never going to turn a gun on his own people. He took a drag on his cigarette and said slowly. It seems like it's just a trivial thing to say over and over again. But it set off a storm in my heart. I looked at him in disbelief.
And he glanced at me, then turned to look at the students in the classroom, "You all go out, there are still a few minutes before the end, let me be alone." ”
Hearing his words, everyone walked out of the classroom almost at the same time, only Yang Wei was still standing in place. Her eyes were filled with tears. Seeing this, Zhao Lei sighed, "Girl, you should go out too." Listen to Uncle Zhao and live well."
But Yang Wei stubbornly shook her head, "I'm not leaving, I want to be with you, big deal, big deal, I'll die with you." ”
"Bastard, how can I explain to the instructor when you die, and what about your mother, have you thought about it?" Zhao Lei looked at her angrily.
"I" Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Now get out, it's an order." Zhao Lei said undoubtedly.
"Yes" Yang Wei shouted, gave Zhao Lei a standard military salute, and then turned around and left the classroom step by step.
"Your name is Cao Fan, you wait a minute," Zhao Lei said as he looked at me who was about to walk out of the classroom.
"Is there something wrong?" I looked at him and said.
"Let me tell you my story. I was originally a special combat member of the Thunder Thunder Special Combat Team, and in one battle, my instructor, who was the girl's father, died to save me, and he entrusted his wife and daughter to me before he died. Speaking of this, he took a deep puff of cigarette, and his eyes were a little moist, "Heh, am I a little verbose?"
"No, you continue," I said to him with red eyes, but my voice was a little hoarse from choking.
"Later, when I was discharged from the army, I came back to take care of them. But half a year ago, I was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it was at an advanced stage that I met the messenger of Huangquan, who said that as long as I listened to it, I could survive, and then I met you. He paused, and then said, "I, Zhao Lei, have never begged anyone in my life, and now I beg you to protect the girl." Is that possible? ”
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, as long as I, Cao Fan, am still alive, she will never be fine." I choked up.
Zhao Lei listened to my reply and nodded with satisfaction, then walked up to me and stuffed his pistol into my hand, "Three bullets, save some use." Let's go, time is running out. ”
Then he pushed me out of the classroom without waiting for me to answer. After he locked the door, he smoked a cigarette in front of the empty classroom and said, "Whether you are a human or a ghost, if you want to kill me, I will fight to the end, and the soldiers will not give in." ”
At this time, the envoy of Huangquan spoke in the group: "The time has come for Zhao Lei to have six balloons, Cao Fan to have seven balloons, and Cao Fan wins." Zhao Lei was sentenced to splitting the car. ”
'What, it's a car crack,' I stared at the classroom with wide eyes in disbelief. "Cao Fan, what's wrong with you, it doesn't seem like you need to be dead this time." Zhao Hui looked at my strange behavior and asked.
"Do you know what a crack is?" I asked, staring at the classroom window. He shook his head blankly
I sighed heavily, and then said slowly, "It's a punishment. In ancient times, felons were dealt with ropes to secure a person's neck and limbs, and then five horses were used to force them in five directions until the prisoner's body was torn off. In the end, his eyes were full of sorrow.
After listening to me, the students were all shocked, "How can this be!" ”
"It's too cruel."
"The Yellow Springs Envoy is simply not human!"
Yang Wei stumbled directly to the corner, she covered her mouth stiffly, tears had already covered her delicate cheeks. Her eyes were hollow, and she shook her head vigorously, as if she could not accept this cruel punishment.
But that's often the case......
