23. Historical Images and Love Stories (Part II)
"Have you ever had a sister next door?" In a friend-chatting tone, Hu Haipeng, who was sitting on the edge of the stage, suddenly said: "That's it, three or four years older than you, the age when she danced rubber bands, you squatted and watched, when she carried her schoolbag to school, you looked greedy, she grew taller, and you were just a little one...... The sister you have followed and envied. ”
"I have one, a village with me. I watched her jump the band, followed her bracken picking, and watched her go to school...... Until one day, she grew up first and became a big girl, and she no longer played with me often. We weren't that close anymore, and only occasionally bumped into a greeting and a few words. ”
"But that's okay, because I'm also unconsciously getting used to it, and slowly having my own life. ”
Later, after finishing junior high school, she did not continue her education, and went to work in a factory with relatives who had heard that it was far away...... The appearance of her sixteen-year-old wearing a ponytail and a shirt is stuck in my memory...... Then it fades into obscurity. ”
"Then I went to high school and college...... Come to the Teal Alliance. ”
"That was this time more than five years ago, and my recruit period, like you, was miserable. Bearing fear, eating raw meat, being scolded, training hard, and being bullied by veterans for three days, the whole person is depressed and painful......"
"That's when all of a sudden, one day, I met her again. ”
"I was helping a veteran do the laundry, and she passed by and turned around, stopped, stood there, and hesitantly called my name...... She was a veteran who came back from rotation that summer to recuperate. ”
"That's it, we met again, you can imagine, we met here, that kind of intimacy. I almost cried...... My sister was also very excited. ”
"My sister is a soldier who witnessed the front line, and she has a lot of injuries on her body, even a broken scratch on her left cheek, a shallow scar, but she is still very beautiful, maybe she is more beautiful, and her personality has become more hearty. ”
"I said you weren't going to work. She laughed and said it was ...... Say you're a coward, Reader, why are you here too?"
"She said, go, I ask you...... Drink a beer, tell me how our village is doing. I wanted to go, but I was scared, saying I was helping the veterans with their laundry. ”
She said, "Just throw it away...... Whoever troubles you, I will trouble him. My sister said don't be afraid if she is here, she is amazing, and she is now the vice captain. ”
"We talked a lot that day and we didn't have any scruples about each other. We talked about the past, and she told me that she regretted that we weren't close anymore. I told her about the situation in the village, who did what her little friend did, who married whom...... Suddenly I thought of a question, and I asked, "By the way, sister, are you married?" I heard that you can get married here. ”
She laughed and said, "Didn't you eat candy?" A few years ago, I went back to do wine...... I was going to invite you, but my aunt said that you were going to take the college entrance examination in a few days and couldn't come. I've left you extra candy. ”
"I said, I remembered...... I ate your candy. ”
My sister said yes, and then laughed, and said, in fact, it was family leave, in order to make my parents feel at ease, I found a comrade-in-arms to pretend to be a groom and married me away. ”
"I said then you ......"
My sister smiled and said no, just acting, I don't like him. ”
"During that time, my sister often came to me, and I often got the courage to go to her after training...... She bought me clothes, took me to the place, and protected me. ”
"In order to protect me and compete with the male soldiers who are making trouble for me, my sister carries a source energy device on her back but uses an ordinary knife...... With just one hedge, she won. My sister is really strong, she said, if it weren't for the opportunity to teach you a lesson and teach your sister what she got in actual combat, I wouldn't be willing to waste source energy. ”
"One day when we were chatting, my sister's comrade-in-arms suddenly said, otherwise, the two of you can get together, it's not easy to meet a close person here. ”
"If this were outside, the girl would be shy, wouldn't she? But here, my sister didn't, she looked at me with a smile and said coward, college student, do you still look up to your sister?"
I nodded vigorously. ”
“......”
"It didn't take long for my sister to end her vacation and go back to the front line of the witnessing operation. The day she left, I had to train, I couldn't send her...... She came to the training ground, waved to me, and left. ”
"I'm waiting for her letter, five days, ten days, half a month...... Until one day, the instructor suddenly said that the regimental chief of staff was looking for me, I went, and in the office, they told me...... My sister died. ”
"They said that the ashes would be sent back through our special channel soon, and her comrades were not there...... Jiujun Mountain, Yinglingbi, you send your sister up. ”
"The Heroic Spirit Wall of Jiujun Mountain, tens of thousands of small grids, photos and names are not outside...... But in the past five years, I can still clearly remember at any time that where my sister is, I don't need to count it. ”
"The day after I delivered the ashes, I received a letter from my sister saying that we should have a baby. ”
Hu Haipeng's narration is over.
Without adding any reasoning or advice, he just told the recruits a true story about the blue love he just talked about.
At this moment, the audience was silent. The people in the audience looked at Hu Haipeng, and suddenly remembered that at the beginning of today, he came to the stage and said happily, "My application has just been approved...... Will go to witness the front line of operations. ”
It turned out that he was really happy.
Probably as a psychological counselor in short supply in the regiment, he has been applying for five years, and now he can finally ...... Go to the place where my sister fought.
Hu Haipeng exited first.
Zhang Daoan walked on stage, and according to the process, he will answer the questions of the recruits.
After a while, the recruits' minds finally calmed down.
Someone asked, "Why didn't the Azure Coalition directly transform from the Chinese and Asian forces?" from the most elite troops in the world......?
Zhang Daoan said:
"Because we don't know when Big Tip will come...... To be precise, it is not known when a large-scale invasion from that civilization will come.
"If you know it's tomorrow, it's next year, or even three years, ten years from now, your doubts are true. But it's been more than eighty years, and what if they don't come for another decade, or even a few hundred years?
"And we are very lacking in source energy and dead iron, and we have not found alternative technology...... Therefore, more manpower and material resources are of no practical significance at present. ”
There were still people in the audience who wanted to ask questions.
"Okay", Zhang Daoan interrupted directly impatiently, "The logical core of all problems and confusion is this, the large-scale invasion of Dajian does not know when it will come, and the source energy and dead iron are extremely lacking. Once you figure this out, you'll be able to answer your own questions, and if you can't figure it out, forget it. ”
"Eat. Finally he said.
............
Lunch is still raw, lettuce leaves, sashimi, raw meat, raw melon...... However, there is a wide variety of options.
The recruits are still puzzled, and some people are still disgusted and disgusted, but maybe it's because they didn't eat hungry for breakfast, or maybe it's the result of this morning's brainwashing, everyone no longer resists, and most of them try to eat some, after all, the formal training will start in the afternoon.
When Han Qingyu and Wen Jifei returned to the dormitory, several of the 11 quarters had already returned early, and they were all standing, looking at the direction of the balcony.
There were three sinks on the balcony of the dormitory, and in the middle of it, a woman was now standing. The woman has short blond hair with a hint of brown touch, long to the neck, naturally curly, with a back, wearing blue-gray short sleeves and loose trousers......
She was hunched over washing her hair in the sink in a men's dormitory.
Tap water poured down her blonde hair and down her cheeks into the sink, the sun shining on top of her head.
With her head down like this, she let the tap water wash her, she turned her body slightly, turned her head to look back, saw the person of 11 nights, and smiled brightly.
The two rows of teeth were white and neat, and she had gray-blue eyes, a high nose, and some freckles on her face, as well as two reds and some mottled ......
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment before they began to talk in a whisper.
Wen Jifei muttered: "Love story." ”
Yang Qingbai: "Foreigners." ”
Wen Jifei: "What's the matter, it's beautiful." ”
Liu Shiheng: "You have to stand up at least 1.77 meters, and with a little force on your body, it is estimated that you have more muscles than any of us, which should be the result of long-term exercise." ”
Wen Jifei: "What do you mean?"
Han Qingyu: "Veteran." ”
Everyone stopped talking, for them now, veteran, is a very scary word.
"Then can she understand Mandarin?" Wen Jifei asked cautiously in a whisper.
"I understand, and, probably better, than many of you say. "It was the blonde veteran on the balcony who answered him.
She washed and straightened her head as she straightened, her short hair flickering, water splashing in the sun, the light hitting the side of her face, the tip of her nose and her freckles.
"After a day's drive, it was all dust. She continued, tucking her short hair into a handful and holding it at the back of her head.
Water droplets slid down the neck and into the collar while dripping onto the blue-grey short sleeves, chest and back.
"Do you have any towels that don't stink?" she asked, turning around, in a natural, familiar look.
"Ah...... Yes. ”
Suddenly, at least half of them went to find their towels and came out, holding them, or simply, holding them in their hands.
The blonde veteran grabbed his hair and walked over, looked down carefully, and found that they were all used, looked up at everyone with some embarrassment, and then smiled......
As she laughed, she let go of her hand grabbing her hair, and put her hands together, from the bottom up...... Neatly, I put the short sleeves and took them off.
Then Gu Zi, using the reverse side of the short-sleeved shirt, began to wipe his hair.
The 11 nights are silent, and the 11 nights have been blown up.
In fact, the black thing she is wearing now is about the same as the short vest worn by athletes in competitions, probably the combat vest issued by the army to female soldiers.
But, after all, a large part of the belly is exposed, and the wrapped part is very full.
For these young people, the shock was too great.
Drying his hair and pinching the short sleeves in his hands, the blonde veteran looked at the stupid recruits in front of him without twisting, and suddenly smiled slyly.
"Want to see more?" she blinked and said, "Yes, you can see more if you take the first overall score in the recruit class competition." ”
She pointed to the race table attached to the door and laughed heartily.
Everyone was stunned, at a loss.
After a while, I realized that there is indeed a competition based on the dormitory class during the recruit period, including the assessment of many items, and the daily deduction of points, but meritorious service or good performance will also add points.
"That thing, that's probably no fun. "The people of 11 nights thought that from last night alone to now, discipline and housekeeping, they have already ranked first from the bottom.
What's even more terrifying is that this group of people doesn't care at all and doesn't have any sense of honor.
"Okay, nice to meet you, but I'm going to go first. ”
She said this, but instead of walking out, she first returned to the balcony, and from the side of sight, on the cement platform where she washed clothes, she carried something, and then came back, and walked in front of everyone in a natural and chic manner.
Liu Shiheng was right earlier, Goldilocks did have more muscles than all the people present, at least now she was sure that her right arm was.
Probably because the things in her hands are a bit heavy.
It was a thing that at first glance would have thought you had seen wrong, a swarthy metal instrument with a handle that could be picked up, a notch for the bullet strap to snap on, a trigger, a barrel...... Five, very large, very thick and long.
Wen Jifei: "This is ...... Machine guns?"
Yang Qingbai: "Machine gun...... Cannon, right?!, this guy. ”
"Yes. As he walked, the blonde veteran replied, "My special machine gun, Mira 11...... However, they all prefer to call it a cannon. ”
"But, didn't you say that a bullet can't kill the big tip?"
"I can't die, but in my hands, I can do a lot of things. She turned back at the door and said, "By the way, my name is Mira Jo, and I am your direct instructor...... You can call me Captain, or Mira...... Preferably a captain. ”
Mira is gone, goes downstairs, leaves.
11 nights are confused.
Downstairs.
"Isn't that Mira?" said a veteran who saw it from afar, "the dignified deputy captain, why did you deign to run down to be a direct instructor?"
The veterans next to him all laughed, because the word "vice-captain" was a joke in Mira's body. She has already been the vice captain of four squads, but it stands to reason that she should have been the captain a long time ago, but she has never been the captain, and she is nicknamed "the eternal vice captain of the Ninth Army".
The girl herself dreams of being the captain.
"Haven't you heard? It seems that there is a rumor this year, and I am finally going to be the captain. In the pile of veterans, another person said, "I guess I came down to pick new recruits." ”
"Oh...... Grab the seedlings. I see. ”
Teal Coalition's "squad formation and replenishment system" is a two-way street. The captain can refuse if the recruit chooses a squad, and the recruit can also refuse if the captain wants someone and choose to go to the more desirable squad.
On the other side, Mira's female comrades-in-arms, who were waiting downstairs before, and now walking together, just heard Mira's reaction to say 11 nights, and they couldn't laugh at all.
Then he joked: "You're too hard, Mira, why don't you just choose people and win over...... You're just seducing, aren't you?"
Mira held back her smugness and glared at her, "Shhh ”
"Then if they do take the first place, you will really ......"
"How is it possible?! As for them, it is still possible to follow me after two or three good soldiers, so forget about the competition. "In your old saying, I'm just drawing a pie." ”
