Verse 10

"Report, No. 2 sea-finding radar finds suspected target"

"Where is it, I'll see"

Old man Xue and the captain squeezed behind the radar soldier and stared at the screen, only to see a white light flash looming on the screen.

"Homecoming! Return now! Old man Xue seemed to order a little impatiently.

"Old man Xue, are you crazy? Didn't you hear the report from the meteorological department just now, have you thought about what the consequences would be if we forced our way back in such bad weather? The captain hurriedly dissuaded.

"What are you afraid of a little wind and snow, the old man has never experienced any wind and waves, and he is afraid of a ball" Old man Xue's eyes were a little scary at the moment: "Return immediately!" ”

"Old man Xue, Mr. Xue! Calm down!! "I understand your feelings, but now that I am the captain of this ship, I am responsible not only for my soldiers, but also for the lives of you and your young men." We are not afraid of death, because we are soldiers! From the moment he put on the uniform, he was destined to be accompanied by death. But have you ever thought about the young people under you? They are still young, and they are still very young, are you willing to risk the lives of all of them for this mission? ”

The bridge was filled with the smell of gunpowder for a while, the captain and Old Man Xue looked at each other, no one let go, and after a while, Old Man Xue seemed to lose his temper, turned to look at the rough sea behind him, and said helplessly: "Listen to you, go back to Hong Kong." It's just that the figure seemed to be invisibly aged a little at that moment.

The captain slowly walked behind Old Man Xue, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Old Xue, as long as we are sure that it is here, we still have a chance." ”

"Excuse me, gaffe, alas.... People are old and useless..."

"Needless to say, understand"

The weather at sea is really like a child's face, it changes when it is said, the early morning is calm, and in the blink of an eye, the waves are monstrous. The minesweeper shuttled through the stormy seas and embarked on the journey back to port in the face of the snowflakes falling in the sky. No one mentioned Old Man Xue's sudden gaffe, and I didn't ask, but I was even more curious about the truth buried behind me...... What kind of incident could make this ordinary old man who looked kind on weekdays suddenly change his face, I don't know.

At about 1 p.m., we returned safely to the naval base, and the sky was overcast, as if it was about to fall into night. After a simple meal, we took a truck back to Zhaojia Village.

After entering the village and going through layers of inspections, our car drove all the way through the village and into the barracks outside the village. Old man Xue didn't speak all the way, and after getting out of the car, he refused the support of the two soldiers, and walked into his tent step by step with a cane and never came out again. Looking at the indescribable loneliness of the gray-haired back, no one knows how to comfort him.

"Someone will take the handle and move all this equipment back to the tent," Liu Zizhen finally shouted.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and find something to do, and the group plus four or five soldiers unloaded the equipment on the cart again and carried it into the tent. Looking at my depressed face, Wang punched my shoulder with his head, and said, "Why are you crying with a sad face, Director You, you are happy here, there is wine, meat and sisters, why do you go back and suffer from that bird's anger." ”

At this time, I didn't know how to take this conversation, so I had to smile awkwardly: "The revolution is a brick, and I need to move it wherever the motherland needs it." ”

"That's right," Wang said with a smile, and then waved his hand: "You are here for a rest now, and I will go and see how you are arranged over there." ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang"

"You're welcome, the revolutionary comrades are a family"

After the king's head went out, I took a look at the environment inside the tent. A table, a marching bed, a boxy army of tofu cubes stacked neatly on top of each other, and toiletries placed under the bed. I walked to the table and took a closer look at the red treasure book on the table, thinking of the giggling and hooligan spirit of Wang's head, I didn't expect this kid to be quite conscious.

After sitting in the tent for a while, I saw that the king's head had not come back yet, so I wanted to go out to breathe, and when I walked out of the tent and looked around, I suddenly found that the guards in the barracks seemed to be.... Martial law is on.
