Chapter XIX
Ji Xiaotong sighed: "I'm looking at Yingxuan, you go eat something first." ”
Ji Xiaotong pointed to the thermos bucket, which was the lunch she made today, and the escort work was robbed by Situ Ye, so they had to do something else.
Situ Ye nodded, he went to the bathroom to tidy himself up, so that he looked more energetic, he did not have a stubble on his face and a haggard face like others, on the contrary, he took good care of himself. He didn't want Ying Xuan to wake up and see the image of a down-and-out man, he wanted Ying Xuan to be able to see his best side at any time, even if there was pain in his heart, he was willing to carry it himself, and Ying Xuan should be spoiled.
Situ Ye walked to the table and sat down, opened the thermos bucket, which was divided into four layers, the upper layer was staple rice, the second layer was stewed pork ribs, the third layer was fried cauliflower, and the last layer was egg soup. The compartment of the insulated bucket is firmly connected and tightly fitted, which can ensure that the soup does not overflow.
After Situ finished eating, cleaned up the table, and returned to the bedside, he took care of Ying Xuan during the day, and lay down with Ying Xuan at night, all these days have come over like this.
"Do you want to go back and take a rest, I'll stay and take care of him, after so many days, you're strong enough." Ji Xiaotong looked at Ying Xuan, Ying Xuan at this moment, just like a child.
"No, I'll stay here." I hope the first thing he sees when he wakes up is me, that's what Situ Ye thinks at this moment.
Ji Xiaotong saw that Situ Ye insisted, and she didn't want to say anything, so after staying for a while, she packed up her things and left.
Back at the headquarters, Ji Xiaotong continued to receive training, turned grief and anger into strength, and shot desperately at the shooting range, and the bullets around him went down quickly.
Lin Xiao walked to Ji Xiaotong's side and looked at the bullet holes on the target, it was terrible, it was terrible for a woman to be angry, Lin Xiao took out a lollipop: "Eat?" ”
Ji Xiaotong has become accustomed to their behavior of feeding at every turn, and since they accepted Ji Xiaotong, Ji Xiaotong's snacks have not stopped. Ji Xiaotong took the lollipop, opened the wrapper, and put it in his mouth, Ji Xiaotong would not be polite to them.
"Ahem......" Gu Xue came over and caught Ji Xiaotong eating a snack, glanced at it, and pretended not to see it. A little red in the green bushes, there is just such a girl in the whole team, of course, they are all spoiled.
Ji Xiaotong secretly ate the caught bag, quickly bit the candy open, and chewed it with a clatter.
"There is a mission, in a residential building in the north of the city, someone was hijacked, the criminals are veterans, in the army they used to be artillerymen. Having taught himself some ammunition knowledge, he was able to make improvised bombs, which were not very powerful, but they could also cause casualties. Ji Xiaotong and they listened, listened and analyzed, and they were able to make soil bombs, which can be regarded as a talent.
Gu Ze: "Shadow Dance"
Ji Xiaotong: "To"
Gu Ze: "You are responsible for approaching the robbers and hostages and finding opportunities to rescue the hostages." ”
Ji Xiaotong: "Report to the captain, can I kill the kidnappers in an emergency?" ”
Gu Ze looked at Ji Xiaotong with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see Ji Xiaotong thoroughly, killing people, can a little girl really be ruthless?
Ji Xiaotong was silent, she was waiting for Gu Ze's answer, Gu Xue was a little hesitant, looking at Ji Xiaotong's appearance, she didn't seem to care about killing, as if she often killed people, which made Gu Xue very puzzled, she was obviously a young lady but she was extraordinary, and it seemed that the people around her were not ordinary people.
Gu Ze: "Yes"
Ji Xiaotong understood, turned around and walked to the side.
Ji Xiaotong was dressed in black and hid in the shadows, and the police were still holding a bullhorn to persuade the robbers to surrender and strive for leniency. Old-fashioned shouting, instead of making the robbers come to their senses, will make them more irritable. At first, Ji Xiaotong didn't understand the meaning of doing this, but then after thinking about it, he understood that this is the sound of the east and the west!
Ji Xiaotong observed the surroundings, this is a very old building, the security door of the room is still the kind of sliding iron fence door, there are all kinds of things and garbage in the corridor, and the conditions here are quite poor. This is not a commercial area, and there is no development value, but Ji Xiaotong doesn't mind mentioning it to his father, after all, if it can be demolished, it will benefit the residents here!
The residents of the building have been evacuated, in fact, there are not many people in the building, most of them are lonely old people, young people either go to school outside, or work outside, in short, those who remain are basically old people.
Ji Xiaotong disdains this kind of person the most, he has no ability, he knows how to bully the elderly and children, such a scum is redundant to live, and he is also a veteran, even if such a person goes to the battlefield, he will only be a deserter, which is simply insulting the word 'soldier'.
Ji Xiaotong stood outside the door, looking at the dilapidated door, it was not impossible to open the lock, but he was afraid that opening the door would make a sound and alarm the robbers, after careful consideration, Ji Xiaotong walked to the floor below, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the captain, asking the police to divert the attention of the robbers as much as possible.
The building is very closed, the bedroom windows are sealed, only the windows of the living room and kitchen are normal, but it is not easy to enter, and the suspect will definitely stay in a place where he can see the situation outside. As for the kitchen, there should be a lot of pots and pans in the kitchen, and once it makes a noise, it will definitely alarm the suspect. Thinking about it, the main entrance is more reliable, there is a corner from the main entrance to the living room, as long as the timing is good, there will be no problem.
Downstairs, Gu Xue received a text message, asking people to shout with a loudspeaker, for a while, downstairs was a little chaotic, but the meaning was also very clear, that is, to let the other party turn himself in.
Ji Xiaotong listened to the shouting downstairs, so he shouldn't be able to hear the sound of unlocking!
Ji Xiaotong pulled out the small steel wire in the room, inserted it into the lock hole, and picked it slightly, and felt a click, and the lock was opened. Ji Xiaotong waited for a while, and after finding that he didn't disturb the people inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Xiaotong gently opened the door, glanced inside, and quickly hid by the door.
Although it was only a glance, it was certain that the suspect should not have noticed her, because the door was not visible from the living room at all, and there was a wall on the opposite side of the door, and it was only possible to enter the living room by turning left.
Ji Xiaotong quickly entered the room and gently closed the door, Ji Xiaotong hid in the corner, listening carefully to the movements around him, and the surroundings were very quiet.
Ji Xiaotong adjusted the rate of breathing and integrated himself into the surrounding environment.
"Auntie, are you hungry? If you're hungry, go make something to eat! The man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water in a long time.
Well...... Why does it feel a little wrong, shouldn't the robbers be arrogant? How can it be so polite?
Ji Xiaotong leaned against the wall and looked in, two old men were sitting on the sofa, and a man with a stubble face was standing by the window. The man looked tired, and he leaned against the window and looked downstairs.
Ji Xiaotong leaned against the corner and looked at the three of them, the two old men didn't look like they had been kidnapped, and the man didn't look like a robber, everything was too discordant.
"Alas...... We're fine, kid, listen to the advice of the eldest mother, it doesn't matter if you do something wrong, it's too late to turn back......"
The old man persuaded him with kind words, but the man was indifferent, and just leaned against the window and looked down.
I don't know how long it took, the man finally reacted a little, he stood up straight, looked at the two old men, his eyes were a little hollow.
"Auntie, I can't go back, Auntie, what do you say I enlisted in the army for, why in the end, I have nothing?"
"Auntie knows that you are wronged, but ...... Child, you are still young! The eldest lady wiped her tears, and she couldn't bear to see a man's life ruined.
When Ji Xiaotong heard this, he had already tasted it, this man may not be as bad as she thought, maybe there is some reason why he chose to fall into hell!
A soldier, even if he is discharged from the army, "" should be high-spirited, why does this man feel like a big blow to her, she feels that if it weren't for something to support him, he might have self-destructed.
The man's eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Ji Xiaotong adjusted his breathing, flashed to the window lightly, and hid behind the curtains, without making a sound during the whole process.
The location of the window is both safe and dangerous for men, and the position of the window has a wide view, and he can see the location downstairs, and he can know the slightest disturbance. Similarly, the position of the window is easy to expose himself, but he doesn't care about that now.
He listened to the words of the police downstairs to persuade him, thinking about relatives, friends, hehe...... Relatives are gone, friends are treacherous, is there anything else to make him nostalgic?
Ji Xiaotong observed him, that man, she could be subdued in an instant, but she hesitated, she didn't know why, maybe the man's eyes were too sad, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was disheartened.
Ji Xiaotong still decided to take down the suspect, she took advantage of the unpreparedness, appeared by the man's side in an instant, and before the man could react, she clicked on the man's acupoint, and the man was frozen.
Everyone didn't react, including the old man, couldn't figure out how Ji Xiaotong appeared here.
The man moved, and when he realized that his body was out of control, he gave up struggling.
"Huh...... You're from the troops! This sentence is not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence, and he firmly believes that the police are not capable of this.
"yes, so...... You're under arrest. ”
From the time Ji Xiaotong appeared by the window, there was no movement downstairs, Ji Xiaotong glanced down, and the police were about to come up.
The man's eyes flashed with tears, and he seemed to have endless grievances, but he couldn't confide: "I accept my fate, I accept my fate......"
Ji Xiaotong looked at him, a little unable to understand the meaning of his words, she had been very strange since just now, this man gave him a feeling that was really wrong.
Ji Xiaotong: "What do you mean by this, you used to be a soldier, don't you think what you did is a shame?" You're really ashamed of the word 'soldier'. ”
Man: "Huh...... Disgrace...... Hahaha...... Shame, indeed shame, I felt myself like the stones in that dung pit, with a stench all over my body. What do you know, you don't know anything, do you know what I did in the army? Do you know what happened to me trying to complete my mission? You don't know anything, you don't know anything......"
The man roared hard, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances and unwillingness.
Man: "Ah...... My daughter, my child she was so young, so small, she got sick, I went everywhere for medical treatment, I spent all my money. I had no money, I went to the government for help, but no one paid attention to me, I took out my discharge certificate, and no one paid attention to me...... They push me, I push you, what do you say I was trying to do, what I was trying to do......"
Ji Xiaotong was silent, she never thought that the reason for his crime turned out to be this, she felt that there might be some problems with the man's spirit.
Ji Xiaotong picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Gu Ze, asking them not to come in yet.
Ji Xiaotong took a deep breath: "How much does it cost your daughter to see a doctor, I'll help her, can you see it?" ”
The man looked at Ji Xiaotong in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly began to laugh.
Man: "Haha...... Ha ha...... Hahaha...... You said to fund her, haha...... You said to fund her, how do you fund her, I asked you, how do you fund her. She's gone...... She's gone...... She's dead...... He's dead...... Dead ......"
The man was crying and laughing, his eyes were spewing fire, hysterical, he roared wildly, if it hadn't been clicked, it is estimated that the man would have detonated the bomb.
Ji Xiaotong was stunned, she didn't think that the result would be like this, why was the result like this, he was a soldier, he defended his family and the country, he squandered blood, why did the result be like this.
Ji Xiaotong: "What the hell is going on, didn't you go to the Red Cross or the charitable foundation for help? There are so many charities in the country, is no one willing to help you? ”
Man: "I went to the foundation for help, and the foundation helped raise money, and the child was hospitalized, but the child was still not cured. The child died, my wife divorced me, I thought, I will find a job, earn more money, and then coax my wife back, we can live a good life, but ......"
Ji Xiaotong: "But what? ”
The man gritted his teeth and changed the topic: "Because I was a soldier, I was derailed from society for a long time, and I was not qualified for many jobs, and then I went to the construction site to look for a job, and I don't know how I was revealed to be a soldier." I always thought that being a soldier was honorable, and I was always proud of being a soldier, until I entered the society and I knew that people did not respect soldiers so much. ”
Man: "Huh...... You know what they say? They said, 'A man who has been a soldier still comes to work with them, look at him, what is good about being a soldier, doesn't he have to compete with them for a job, and think how good a soldier can be?' As a result, it is not the people who have to work at the bottom, who are soldiers, and suffer the life of sin. Do you know how hard it feels for me to hear them say that? My self-esteem glory is worthless in their eyes. ”
Ji Xiaotong: "You were discharged from the army, didn't the government assign you a job?" Why, do you have to look for a job on your own? ”
Man: "Distribution, why not distribution, the assigned work is less than three thousand yuan a month, how can three thousand yuan support a family?" They said that this is the kind of work that is assigned, either they just do it, or they will find a job on their own, and I have been to the government many times, asking for connections, spending money to find people, but I have not been assigned a good job. ”
Ji Xiaotong understood, what he said before about finding the government, this is this matter. It is true that 3,000 yuan is somewhat difficult to support a family.
Ji Xiaotong: "So, is this your reason?" Is the incomprehension of others an excuse for your fall? ”
Man: "There's no excuse, there's no reason, it's just that it's not interesting to live." I thought about many ways to die, and in the end I thought that I still wanted to die at the hands of soldiers, starting with soldiers, dying from soldiers, which is good......"
Ji Xiaotong walked back and forth in the room: "You are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?" If I'm not mistaken, you still love that uniform! Your youth, your sweat, everything you have are dedicated to this position, and you have never disliked it in your heart, so what else can you not let go. Yes, there are many incomprehensions and doubts in society, and that is because they live too comfortably, but not everyone is like this, and every industry should be respected. Can you never go to the hospital because you have had a medical accident? Can you stop eating at a restaurant just because the food is not clean? Can you stop buying things from the merchant because of the unscrupulousness of the merchant? You can't, all walks of life in society are interlocking, indispensable, the same, without the military, the society will be unstable, without the soldiers' dedication, where is the comfort of the people. ”
Ji Xiaotong's words are from the bottom of his heart, the depth of his affection, and the sincerity of his intentions, which deeply touched the man, he will not regret what he has done, but will only be ashamed of it.
When the two old men heard this, they sighed deeply: "Child, turn back, it's not too late." It's okay to do something wrong, but you can't keep being wrong, listen to the eldest lady, turn yourself in! ”
The man looked at the few people in front of him, his eyes were a little dazed, and when he turned around, he could turn back for whom, and who he would look back to.
The man shook his head: "Since I have chosen this path, I don't plan to turn back, you take the uncle and aunt away!" I'm just here myself! ”
Ji Xiaotong looked at the good words and persuasion that didn't work, her stomach hurt, she was still thinking about Yingxuan in her heart, and wanted to make a quick decision and go back to the hospital to see the situation. However, when she thought that this person was once a peer, and his character was not completely damaged, and he was saved, she felt that she couldn't let go now.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and continued to persuade.
Ji Xiaotong: "Let you stay by yourself, do you want to blow up the building?" I warn you, the people who can live here are not rich people, you blow up other people's houses, how will you let people live in the future? ”
The man was silent, and after a while, he said, "I didn't want to blow up the house, I just wanted to be by myself for a while." ”
Ji Xiaotong looked at him, she felt that if this man couldn't think about it, he would either ruin himself or others, leave him alone, and if he couldn't keep it, he would force himself to death.
Ji Xiaotong: "It's impossible for you to stay by yourself, the police outside have surrounded this place, and now the door is full of police, as long as I give an order, they will rush in immediately." Come...... Let's talk about it again, if there is anything else you can't figure out, say it. ”
The man's emotions slowly calmed down: "There's nothing I can't figure out, I feel much better when I say these things, even if the society is unkind, I can't resent the society is not, let's go...... I'll go out with you. ”
Ji Xiaotong saw that his emotions came and went quickly, and he was a little drumming in his heart, I don't know what will happen to him next, forget it, give him a chance, make a break with the past, and be an upright person again in the future.
Ji Xiaotong walked to the man's side and relieved him of his acupoints, the man moved his body and moved his joints, Ji Xiaotong didn't dare to be careless, and stared at him all the time.
The man took a deep breath, walked to the old man's side, knelt down, kowtowed to the old man three times, stood up, he suddenly stood upright, and saluted Ji Xiaotong: "Zhang Zhentao salutes comrades." ”
Ji Xiaotong looked at him, and suddenly her eyes were moist, she sniffed and raised her hand, "Shadow Dance, salute comrades."
The man smiled, Ji Xiaotong looked at his smile, and tears couldn't help but fall.
"Thank you......" The man looked at Li Xiaotong, took two steps back after speaking, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Zhang Zhentao......"
The man looked back at her, Ji Xiaotong looked at the man who was no longer decadent and said, "After coming out, if you have nowhere to go, come to this place to find this person." ”
Ji Xiaotong found a pen and paper and wrote an address, with a person's name written on it, Jin Rao, that is the company that Ji Xiaotong and Yingxuan invested in together after coming back, and the boss of the company is Jin Rao. The main purpose of the company is not to make money, but to try to give veterans a place to stay.
The man put away the note, and the dignified seven-foot man couldn't help but shed tears: "Well......"
"Transform yourself well, be a new person, you will still have a long way to go in the future......" Ji Xiaotong covered his mouth and couldn't go on.
The old man patted Ji Xiaotong and comforted her silently.
When a man opens the door, he will be greeted by rebirth.
