In fact, half of the bag is a pension, and the other half is all my savings over the years, as well as the hearts of some leaders and comrades-in-arms.

I said, "Lao Zhao is a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, and this is what you deserve." ”

My sister-in-law didn't say anything, took the bag, and then said to me, "I see that you are not in good spirits, so don't be too sad." Mr. Jin Fu mentioned you to me, but I didn't expect to meet under these circumstances today. Don't worry, you two of us, there will be so many neighbors to take care of you and you will be fine. You can go back quickly, I won't send you. ”

I understood my sister-in-law's situation and mood at this time, so I said to her: "Okay sister-in-law, take care!" Call me if you need it. After saying that, I saluted my sister-in-law and turned to leave. When my sister-in-law saw me walking away, she went back upstairs.

I took a taxi home, but the light rain was still falling, the glass was blurred by the rain, and my whole heart became empty.

Before I came back, I called home, and naturally I didn't mention it when it came to confidentiality, but I only told my parents that Zhao Jinfu had died in the line of duty, and I would send his ashes back.

Back home, my parents didn't say anything. My father, who had been a soldier all his life, knew the great grief caused by the sacrifice of his close comrades-in-arms, so he patted me on the shoulder and went back to his house.

In the next few days, I helped my parents at home, playing chess, drinking tea, talking, cooking and housework with my mother, and I was in a much better mood at home, and I could sleep for a few hours at night.

My dad never comforted me with anything, but he always told me about his time as a soldier. I have to say that the old man's method is very effective, although the grief is still there, but at least my heart is not so heavy.

Two weeks passed quickly, and on this day a stranger came to the door.

This man is about fifty years old, he is very energetic in casual clothes, and his eyes are very sharp, as if he can see everything.

He claimed to be named Guo Pinghai and was sent by the army. I knew he had come to inform me of the results of the arrangement, so I invited him into the house. After a few pleasantries with my parents, he offered to talk to me alone, so I invited him into my room.

After he sat down, he said to me straight to the point: "Comrade Xiao Qin, I have to regret telling you that you can't go back to the army again!" ”

I had thought of this result for a long time, because I had made a major mistake in the whole thing, and it was my reckless shovel that caused the attack of the ant colony, and I had to bear this responsibility.

Although I had been mentally prepared, my heart was still tight, and my brows were furrowed and I didn't speak.

Guo Pinghai continued: "Now there are two choices for you! First, I will arrange a job for you in this city, the security section of the military enterprise, which is officially established and has a stable job, so that you can live a normal life from 9 to 5 in the future. ”

He stopped at this point, but his tone aroused my curiosity about the second option, and I looked up at him and asked, "What about the other one?" ”

Guo Pinghai smiled and said: "The second choice may be a bit special, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

I was even more curious by what he said, and seeing that I was waiting for his next step, Guo Pinghai said: "There is a special department that has taken a fancy to you and wants to recruit you to join." However, this work has a certain risk, and most people are reluctant to participate. ”

He said that he had been selling off for a long time, and my brow furrowed even tighter.

He deliberately waited a moment before saying, "Have you heard of the D.R.T?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and shook my head.

Guo Pinghai said: "This is a special task force. The full name is Death Rescue Team, abbreviated as D.R.T, in our words, it is called Death Rescue Team, and it is this department that takes a fancy to you. ”

I didn't know why, but I became interested in this D.R.T. and I asked, "Is this organization you are talking about military or police?" ”

"Neither!" Guo Pinghai said: "This team is a special existence, which is under the management of the state security department. And me! It is the direct head of this department. ”

I was a little curious as to how they would have chosen me, but I soon realized that there must be a direct connection to the Gaoligong Mountain incident.

Guo Pinghai seemed to see what I was thinking, and he said to me: "The Gaoligong Mountain incident is indeed the reason why we found you, but I chose you because of your personal ability. As far as I know, there are many clues that you have analyzed during the Gaoligong Mountain incident, and some unconfirmed clues have also been inferred by you through what you have discovered, which shows that you have a certain degree of insight and judgment, and these are the basic qualities that the D.R.T team needs. ”

I asked, "Can I ask what this D.R.T group does?" I don't quite understand what the death rescue team needs to rescue. ”

Guo Pinghai asked me rhetorically: "Do you know who rescued the five of you from the primeval forest?" ”

At that time, I fainted, and I didn't bother to ask afterwards because of Zhao Jinfu's sacrifice, and I was about to shake my head and say that I didn't know, but I immediately reacted and said, "Could it be this D.R.T group?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Pinghai said: "If it weren't for the D.R.T team, it would not have been possible to find you so quickly. I can also tell you that the person who went back to that anthill afterwards and recovered the body of your comrade was also the D.R.T. team. ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I immediately asked, "You also know the secret of the black heart, right?" ”

Guo Pinghai didn't answer, but he looked at me approvingly and nodded.

I didn't ask any more, and I knew he wouldn't say unless I joined this D.R.T., Death Rescue Team.

I became a little excited, because if I could know the secret in the black heart, I would be able to understand Zheng Xiaocheng's purpose, and I would be able to find out Zheng Xiaocheng's identity and find this person as a clue. This is a very important thing for me.

"Okay, I'm willing to join!" I couldn't wait a little to agree.

Guo Pinghai shook his head unexpectedly and said, "You don't really want to join, you want to find out the murderer who killed your comrades." If you have this in mind, I can only tell you that no, you are not allowed to join this special group. ”

I did think so, but I didn't think there was any conflict between them, and I said to Guo Pinghai: "That's right, I want to catch that bastard Zheng Xiaocheng with my own hands." If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have caused today's consequences! Just a few days ago, I saw with my own eyes that my best comrade-in-arms' wife had become a widow, and that she would have to live alone with a child of a few years old. No one can help her, she will have to spend the next few decades in pain, and such a young child without a father will leave a shadow of family disintegration for the rest of her life. And the person who caused all this is still at large, am I trying to catch him wrong? ”

Seeing that I was a little emotional, Guo Pinghai took out a cigarette and handed it to me, I took it easily, and he lit it for me. After two sharp puffs, I calmed down a little.

"If you're a police officer investigating the case, there's nothing wrong with what you're saying." Guo Pinghai said at this time: "But D.R.T has its own mission, we can't act on our own for personal purposes, and all actions must obey the arrangements of our superiors, that is, the arrangements of the state, do you understand?" ”

Seeing that I didn't answer, Guo Pinghai said again: "Actually, I personally hesitate about you, because the hatred in your heart is too great now, so I don't think you are suitable to join us." However, someone recommended you and said that you would be able to put aside your personal grudges, which made me want to talk to you. ”

"Someone recommended me?" I asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

Guo Pinghai said: "This is not important, the important thing is that D.R.T's belief is the national interest, not personal grudges, if you can't prove yourself, even if your conditions are good, we will not accept it." ”

If personal grievances are put aside, I will not choose the security department of a state-owned enterprise among the two choices, I don't like that kind of life method of eating and waiting for death. After so many years in the army, the education I received was always ready for the country, although I haven't figured out what they want to do, but the original intention of serving the country is no different from that of a soldier.

I finished smoking the cigarette in my hand a few puffs, and asked Guo Pinghai with determination: "How do you need me to prove myself?" ”

Guo Pinghai took out a note from his pocket and handed it to me, and at the same time said to me, "If you want to be ready, come to this place." However, I must warn you that this work is extremely dangerous, and you may go to many places you may not expect, or even go back to them. Each of our missions is a top-secret operation, and neither your parents can know about it. If you die, we won't tell them the truth, you have to think about it. ”

Hearing what he said solemnly, I hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the note.

Guo Pinghai seemed to be a little uneasy, his hand retracted a little and said to me: "You still have to go through a series of training and tests from us, and you can only officially join if you are qualified, which means that you may not meet our requirements and be abandoned, and you must also consider this." However, I can still keep the job of the state-owned enterprise for you, and if you are not qualified or quit voluntarily, I can still cash it out. Remember, I'll give you two days to think about it, and after two days I'll give you up automatically. With that, he handed the note over again.

I reached out and took it, and there was an address on it.

After saying this, Guo Pinghai stood up and prepared to leave, and said before going out: "Don't bring anything when you come!" Then he walked straight out, said goodbye to my parents and left.

I was lost in thought in the room.

My parents didn't ask me anything during dinner in the evening, and my mom tried to open her mouth several times but was stopped by my dad's eyes. To be honest, I didn't make a final decision, so I didn't say anything. Then I lost sleep again that night!

The next day I didn't leave my room for a day, except for dinner, I was in the room in a daze with the note.

The next morning, I got up early, and while I was sitting at the table with my parents for breakfast, I said to them, "Dad! Mother! The vacation is over, I'm going back to the army, and I may stay in the army until I retire in the future, and I can't stay in front of you to take care of me, right? ”

My mother was stunned for a moment, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but her eyes were wet and she became sad.

My dad said to my mom, "What do you think you're crying about? It's a good thing that my son can stay in the army. Then he said to me: "You are such an adult, you make your own decisions, you can do whatever you want, and your parents will never hold you back!" ”
