Nanqing Feiying County, nearly three hours.

Along the way, He Xiao's heart was hanging in the air, uneasy and fearful, eroding every cell in his body like a virus, he couldn't be calm and calm at all, and he was tormented every minute and every second.

In addition to panic, there is more regret.

I regret not holding her back on the day she left.

I regret that I wasn't as brave as she was when she told him I liked you countless times.

Even more regretful, she didn't say the words hidden in her heart, which she had expected thousands of times.

If he could, he wanted to go back to that day, the moment she hugged him, the moment she kissed him, all her initiative was possessed and subverted by him, he would take her into his arms, respond to her kiss, respond to her feelings, tell her, the answer she wanted to hear the most.

When she listened to the story of the squad leader, she looked so depressed that she was about to cry, he was really distressed when he saw it, he knew what she was thinking, nothing more than thinking about them, he couldn't bear her sadness, he held her hand with his backhand, even if he didn't look at her, but he could still feel her excitement and joy, her hands were trembling, and her eyes were hot.

He knew that since he couldn't accept her, he shouldn't give her hope.

But there are some feelings, and I can't help it.

At that time, his selfish desires were far greater than reason, and he just wanted to comfort her, and he just wanted her to be happy.

In the month she went to Yingxian, she always called him, without mentioning the answer, chatting with him about some trivial things, and after finishing speaking, she directly threw down the sentence "I miss you so much", and then hung up the phone without giving him a chance to respond.

If she had given him a chance to respond, perhaps he would have been tempted to reply, "I miss you too."

Since his happiness is what he can give, then he will give it.

Since she wanted to hear those meaty and crooked love words, then he said.

So Xu Xinyi, you have to give Lao Tzu a life!

There was a light rain in the sky, and dense transport planes were hovering over Yingxian.

And from the heights, it was gray, nothing could be seen clearly, and the meteorological conditions were so poor that it was impossible to identify even the accurate marking.

In desperation, the commander temporarily organized an advance detachment of 30 elite airborne troops and ordered a parachute operation.

The average altitude of Yingxian is 3,000 meters, and the transport plane drops paratroopers 5,000 meters above the parachute landing area.

But if the parachute landing is successful, you will be able to understand the situation as soon as possible and rush to the disaster area.

He Xiao thought for a few seconds, then took out the walkie-talkie pinned to his waist, turned to the commander's channel, and said in a deep voice: "Report, He Xiao, the captain of the first detachment of the Thunder Leopard Commando of the Nanqing Corps of the Armed Police, requests to join the parachute operation." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other teammates in the plane all looked at He Xiao in dismay.

This is not a drill, but a real jump, and there is only one chance.

Although they had been trained to parachute, it was only regular training, only a few hundred meters in height.

And now the altitude is close to five thousand meters, which is a test of life and death even for the elite special airborne troops.

"Nonsense! You're not a paratrooper again, what do you jump! ”

The commander's angry voice came over the intercom.

"I'm trained." He Xiao replied.

"How many meters are you training for, how many meters are you training this time?! Now that the climate conditions are special, you can't stand your usual regular training at all! ”

"Special forces, there is nothing that you can't stand it! I only do what I am sure of. ”

The commander simply didn't talk to He Xiao, and directly issued an order: "Reject the request!" Stay honest with me, don't jump! ”

He Xiao's back sat straight, holding the walkie-talkie tightly, his face became more and more solemn, and after a few seconds of silence, he held his eyebrows, pressed the walkie-talkie, and asked again: "He Xiao, the captain of the first detachment of the Thunder Leopard Commando Team of the Nanqing Corps of the Armed Police, once again requests to join the parachute operation." ”

"He Xiao, let me ask you, what is the vocation of a soldier!" The commander was furious.

"Absolute obedience." He Xiao replied.

"Okay, I'll order you now, don't ....."

"Now, disaster is an order." Before the commander's angry order was completely issued, He Xiao bluntly added it.

The commander was suddenly silent.

He Xiao's eyebrows were slightly cold, his eyes were secretive, his face was solemn, he pressed the walkie-talkie, added again, word by word, and the words were round: "Soldiers, never afraid of death." ”

The atmosphere was silent in vain.

The other team members looked at each other, and then took out their walkie-talkies at the same time, speaking in unison and exhilaratingly.

"Report, Yuan Qinlin, a member of the first detachment of the Thunder Leopard Commando of the Nanqing Corps of the Armed Police, asked to join the parachute operation."

"Report, Xue Chuan, a member of the first detachment of the Thunder Leopard Commando of the Nanqing Corps of the Armed Police, asked to join the parachute operation."

"Report, members of the first detachment of the Thunder Leopard Commando of the Southern Youth Corps of the Armed Police ....."

"Report..... Request to join the parachute operation. ”

"Report..... Request to join the parachute operation. ”

“......”

Half a minute later.

"Accept the request of all members of the Thunder Leopard Commando to join the parachute operation, and after the first wave of parachute troops is over, the second wave of parachute will be carried out."

The commander's deep voice resounded in the cabin through the walkie-talkie, slightly relieving everyone's worries.

Immediately afterwards, the commander spoke again, and his tone was obviously a little more relaxed than just now: "Pay attention to safety. ”

"Roger."

"Roger."

"Roger."

“.....”

"What are you parachuting with?!" He Xiao put away the walkie-talkie, wrinkled his eyebrows, and looked at the team members with a straight face.

He admitted that he had selfish motives in asking for parachuting.

He can't care so much, he has to rush to the disaster area as quickly as possible, he can't afford it, he is afraid that Xu Xinyi will not be able to hold it.

As long as he fought alone, he didn't want the other team members to take risks.

"Team He, we're a team! Advance and retreat together! What's the matter with you jumping alone? The squad leader said.

"The captain has jumped, of course we have to jump along."

"The fathers and villagers in the disaster area are still waiting for us."

He Xiao still kept a straight face, thinking about how to persuade them to give up parachuting.

The squad leader looked at He Xiao and solemnly repeated what He Xiao had just said: "Special forces, there is nothing that you can't stand it." ”

He Xiao looked at the squad leader squarely and remained silent.

The squad leader lowered his eyes, sighed slightly, and his voice was a little heavier: "She..... Maybe wait for me to save it. ”

After a few seconds of silence, He Xiao's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he lowered his voice: "Check the umbrella." ”

After the words fell, everyone took out the umbrella in an orderly manner, opened the umbrella bag and checked it carefully and quickly.

Then tidy up the umbrella, carry the umbrella and supplies on your back, stand in line, and get ready to go.

Five minutes later, the commander's command voice came over the intercom: "The Thunder Leopard commando is preparing to parachute." ”

"Ready!"

The hatch opens.

"Jump!"

He Xiao stood first, took a few steps forward, walked to the wide open hatch, the wind blew very strongly, he jumped into the air, curled up and left the cabin, and fell extremely quickly.

After a few seconds, another team member jumped out of the cabin.

The body passed through the clouds and fell quickly, the wind blew very hard and fiercely, sliding through the skin like a knife cutting, and the wind was deafening.

The weather is bad, the concentration is low, and the meteorological conditions are complicated.

Wind direction and speed are constantly changing, and you need to be vigilant at all times.

The fog is very thick and the vision is blurred.

Due to the inability to see the ground situation clearly, I can only open the parachute in advance, adjust the control stick and control belt at all times, control the landing direction and landing speed, and pay attention to whether there are obstacles on the ground.

Ten minutes later, the landing was successful.

The moment He Xiao's feet landed, when they collided violently with the ground, they involved a wound on his back, and the tearing pain made him frown.

After sliding on the ground for a distance, and then the umbrella landed, he took off the umbrella, pulled out the walkie-talkie, and panted slightly: "Report, He Xiao, the captain of the first detachment of the Thunder Leopard Commando of the Nanqing Corps of the Armed Police, the parachute has been completed." ”

"Stinky boy!" The commander was obviously relieved, and there was a faint cheer from the other soldiers: "Did you dance coolly!" ”

"It's cool." He Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, He Xiao looked around and reported his location to the other team members.

Other airborne troops also quickly came to gather, and they observed the situation around them and found that a huge landslide had blocked the road to Yingxian and broken the bridge.

Yingxian County has been surrounded.

He Xiao frowned, and the worry in his heart gradually magnified.

It's raining right now, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, if it causes a mudslide..... Then Yingxian will be completely submerged.

After reporting the situation to his superiors and requesting that someone be sent to clear the traffic immediately, He Xiao pointed to the cliff and shouted: "Take a soft ladder and climb down from here!" ”

Climb down cliffs, cross cliffs, wade through rivers, and march thousands of miles just because you have a mission.

*

Sixteen hours after the earthquake, it was supposed to be the time of sunset, but at this time, it was dark clouds and the sky was dark.

The rain had not stopped, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, except for the smell of dust.

Countless people were displaced, holding corpses and crying bitterly.

The streets were sinking, and there were even crushed corpses in the cracks.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

Xu Xinyi has been sitting in front of the ruins guarding Ash, and Ash has been awake a few times on the way, but he fainted in pain.

The rain was so heavy that she found the fabric of the umbrella from the ruins and covered it to keep Ash out of the rain.

"Xiaozhi, you talk to me, don't sleep....." Although Xu Xinyi also found a wooden board to shelter from the rain, but the rain was too heavy, and her body was still soaked, coupled with excessive fatigue, she didn't sleep all night, her energy was exhausted, and she was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to speak, her breathing was messy, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and said again: "I'll tell you a story, okay?" ”

Ash didn't respond.

Xu Xinyi lay on the cement slab, reached in with his hand, and pulled Xiaozhi's ankle weakly.

Once she lay down, she didn't seem to have the strength anymore, her eyelids were heavy, her face was pale, her brain was in chaos, and her last consciousness was about to be unable to support it.

Until, there was a red flag fluttering faintly in the distance, and behind the fluttering military flag, a column of green figures ran in the rain, quickly approaching the disaster area.

The desperate people instantly burst into tears and shouted excitedly: "It's a soldier!" It's a soldier! The army has come to our rescue! ”

"Kid, hold on a little longer, Uncle Soldier will be able to save you in no time!"

"We're finally saved!"

The atmosphere of dead silence was broken by the shouts of people crying with joy, just when Xu Xinyi was about to be completely unconscious, she heard this exciting shout, and her vague consciousness gradually became clear, and she reacted several beats slower, only then did she realize what they were shouting.

Soldier..... Will He Xiao be in it?

The sound of uniform footsteps was getting closer, and there was the sound of splashing water.

"Comrade, save my child, she's crushed underneath!"

"Comrade, save my wife!"

People were crazy and dragged the arms of the fighters one by one, desperately running to the place where their relatives were buried.

The scene was chaotic.

Xu Xinyi gritted his teeth, supported the cement slab with his arm, and stood up with all his strength, his legs were full of scars, plus he squatted for a long time, and suddenly got up, his legs had no strength at all, and he fell down violently.

Thinking of Ash, she took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and tried to get up again.

Pinching her numb legs, she slowly stood up, staggered down, grabbed a warrior casually, pointed to Ash's place, swallowed her saliva, and tried to raise her voice: "Comrade, my brother is trapped there, he is silent, trouble you, hurry up and get him out!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, we'll save you." The warrior beckoned to the other warriors and ran towards Ash's place.

Losing the support of the warrior, Xu Xinyi's body was crumbling, Xiao Zhi was finally saved, the big stone in her heart could be regarded as falling, and the idea of supporting herself finally collapsed as quickly as an army, her eyelids slowly slammed down, and her body fell weightlessly.

There were chaotic voices, cries, clashing stones, and the voices of countless people talking, but the steady and flustered sound of running passed through all the chaos and entered her ears.

Perhaps, no matter where you are, no matter how chaotic the environment is, there is always such a person, and his footsteps are stepping on his heart.

Perhaps, there is always such a person, no matter how embarrassed she is, even if she is covered in mud and water, and her face is so dirty that she can't be distinguished, but he can always search for her figure in the vast sea of people for the first time, because she is in his heart.

As she was about to fall to the ground, the sound of her boots stepping on the mud became more and more intense and rapid, carrying deep hope and... Love.

Immediately after, his body fell into a hard but warm and generous embrace, the contours of his angular face suddenly enlarged in her blurred vision, his hand pressed her back, pressing hard into his arms, holding her too hard, as if he wanted to rub her into the blood.

"I'm coming, don't be afraid."
