Lin Hui followed the officer on duty and hurriedly walked to the duty room.

His hands were clenched into fists, his heart was heavy, and his face was extremely heavy.

Just now, the platoon commander on duty told him that someone had called from the border island.

Let them tell Lin Hui that his old squad leader, Wei Yongnian, is about to retire......

At this moment, Lin Hui's head was buzzing.

The appearance of the old squad leader kept coming to mind.

"Lin Hui, I believe in you, you will definitely become a good soldier!"

"You're the best soldier I've ever had, and probably the last!"

"You still have a long way to go, go fly, leave this island and don't come back!"

“……”

Lin Hui's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Ever since he left the island, he has been trying to move forward.

In just over a year, he has achieved unprecedented achievements, and even received a medal of honor that many people could not obtain in their lifetime.

He hadn't had time to share his recent situation and achievements with the old squad leader.

Unexpectedly, he waited for the news that the old squad leader was about to retire from the army.

It's so fast!

Time flies too!

Lin Hui knows very well what more than ten years of military career means to a veteran who loves the army.

It's almost everything to him, it's all to him.

Squad leader Wei Yongnian dedicated half of his life to the army.

It's like an old tree, deeply rooted in the soil.

He brought out one excellent soldier after another for the troops, and used all his energy to complete his mission as a soldier.

Letting him take off this uniform now is as painful as peeling off a layer of skin from him.

When you go back from the army, the sky is high and the earth is far away.

It's too hard to see each other again in the future.

Lin Hui's heart ached, he covered his chest with his hands, and it became very difficult to breathe.

After leaving the island, he kept in mind the teachings of the old squad leader, and also fulfilled his promise to become a good fighter.

But now, the squad leader is leaving.

In the army, the saddest thing is that people come and people leave.

Lin Hui knew that he was able to change from a soldier who was eating and waiting for death, and only thinking about retiring from the army, to becoming like this, all of which was the credit of the old squad leader.

In his military career, no one has had a greater significance and influence on him than Wei Yongnian.

Soon, Lin Hui followed the platoon leader on duty into the house.

The platoon commander looked at the other officer on duty inside and said, "Help make a call." ”

Another officer on duty looked up at the clock with a surprised face: "It's so late, why are you still calling?" ”

The platoon commander sighed and glanced back at Lin Hui: "His old squad leader will be discharged immediately, this is probably the last chance, do me a favor." ”

The officer on duty didn't say much.

After asking where the call was, I immediately helped to connect.

Soon, the phone was connected: "Hello, please help me transfer to the border ......"

During the whole process, Lin Hui stood aside.

Never say a word.

The whole person is like a sculpture, standing quietly, as if he has lost his soul.

Soon, the call was transferred from the border area to Crescent Island.

"That's it."

The officer on duty handed the phone to Lin Hui.

Lin Hui stretched out his hand, but he never had the courage to face this matter.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally picked up the microphone and carefully put it to his ear.

A familiar voice soon came from the opposite side, it was Wu Meng.

"Hey, hey, who? Talking? ”

Lin Hui took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm Lin Hui." ”

Wu Meng instantly became excited: "Lin Hui, it's really you, I guess it's you!" ”

In the next second, Zou Peng rushed to the phone and shouted excitedly: "Let me speak, let me speak!" ”

"You kid let us find it, do you know how hard we went to find you? After asking the border guards, I found out that you were no longer here......"

Liu Shan next to him hurriedly snatched the phone: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, continue to cut your toenails!" Lin Hui, wait a minute, the squad leader went out for the last patrol, I'm going to call him now! ”

"You wait, you must wait, don't hang up the phone!"

"It's too hard to call!"

Immediately after, Lin Hui heard the voice over there getting farther away: "Squad leader, squad leader, come back soon, Lin Hui is calling!" ”

While waiting, Lin Hui's throat couldn't help but roll.

My heart was full of excitement and apprehension, and even fear.

Even the right hand holding the phone trembled inexplicably.

He had to hold it tightly with both hands.

Growing up so big, he has never been afraid of anything.

Even if his father wants to cut off the father-son relationship with him, he doesn't care.

But now, his heart was extremely uneasy and full of fear.

In particular, the process of waiting seems to be a kind of torment.

The wall clock in the duty room, ticking and ticking.

The old watch in Lin Hui's hand, as if it was echoing each other, also made a ticking sound.

The time on the watch was five minutes slower.

It's not that there are no good watches in the troops.

But this watch is a commemorative gift from Wei Yongnian.

As long as he wears this watch, no matter what he does, Lin Hui can be full of confidence.

Because as long as he saw it, Lin Hui could think that on the blue sea of the motherland, there was a place called Crescent Island, and there was a veteran who was silently supporting him.

But now, the man was about to leave.

left together, as well as Lin Hui's spiritual support, as well as the memories on the island.

Thinking that from now on, he could only go forward alone, Lin Hui's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

But he always hoped that this day would never come.

"Hey, Lin Hui."

Listening to this familiar and warm voice, Lin Hui's body shook, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Class, class......"

He opened his lips, but all he could do was make a hoarse airflow sound.

That's when he understood.

It turns out that when people are most nervous and excited, they can't make any sound.

Wei Yongnian knew that it was Lin Hui on the other side, and finally showed a long-lost smile on his face: "Lin Hui, I finally got through your phone, I thought I couldn't contact you." ”

"You're the last soldier I brought out, and it's a shame if you don't get to talk to you in the end and leave."

Lin Hui's tears couldn't be controlled anymore, and they slipped hotly: "Squad leader!" ”

Wei Yongnian responded, and the haze shrouded by the military was also dispelled a little: "I've heard about your performance outside, it's great, it's amazing." ”

"At the beginning, I said that you were a seedling of a soldier king, and I was right!"

He smiled heartily: "The squad leader has no ability in this life, no talent, and being a soldier is mediocre, and he doesn't understand anything else." ”

"But the thing that makes me happiest is that I have brought out one excellent soldier after another."

"You are all excellent, each one is better than me, especially you, Lin Hui."

Wei Yongnian said with relief: "You are the best and the best of all the soldiers I have ever led!" I'm so proud of you! ”

Lin Hui bit his lip tightly and never spoke.

He just wanted to listen more to the voice of the old squad leader and listen to his speech more.

Otherwise, you won't hear it again.

Wei Yongnian rubbed his eyes, choked his throat, and his tone was relaxed and relieved: "It's worth it, and I'm relieved." With you here, I can leave in peace! ”

Lin Hui was wet with tears, and his heart was full of reluctance: "Squad leader, I can't bear you!" ”

Wei Yongnian suddenly laughed: "Silly boy, are you still crying?" It's all a deputy battalion commander, don't let people laugh at you, many people are looking at you and wiping away tears. ”

Lin Hui wiped away his tears with his sleeve: "Yes, squad leader, I don't cry!" ”

Wei Yongnian took a deep breath and said with relief: "Okay, it's so late, let's go and rest early." I just want to say goodbye to you, and now that I'm done, I'm satisfied, and I have no regrets. ”

Lin Hui's tears flowed down again, just like a broken embankment.

Wei Yongnian was silent for a long time, as if his heart had been pierced with a knife.

But in order not to worry Lin Hui, he could only pretend to be hearty, and said with a smile: "You are now the deputy battalion commander, you must be very busy, and I won't say anything more!" ”

"In the future, don't play those little temperaments anymore, when you are alone, take good care of yourself, when it is cold, remember to put your feet in the quilt when you sleep."

"Don't say it, hang it, cherish!"

Doodoo ......

Lin Hui held the phone, covered his face with his arms, and cried silently.

This is the saddest cry he has cried since he joined the army, and it is also the most uncomfortable.

The two officers on duty next to him were also infected, and their hearts were extremely heavy.

The most uncomfortable thing in the army is that people are gone, and people are gone.

Unlike the outside society, when you enter the army, you only have the purest comradeship.

This friendship is constantly slashed with knives and axes.

But they couldn't comfort Lin Hui, so they could only silently wish the veteran in their hearts that everything would be fine in the future.

After a long time, Lin Hui hung up the phone violently, and ran out of the duty room.

The two officers on duty were directly stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going?" The division commander is waiting to see you tomorrow! ”

Lin Hui said without looking back: "Help me and the division commander ask for a leave, I'm going to see the old squad leader!" ”

The two officers on duty looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"People just left, how can I explain to the division commander tomorrow?"

"Tell me? Let's be honest. ”

"He is a celebrity in our division, and it can be seen that this old squad leader surnamed Wei is very important to him. I believe that the teacher is not an unreasonable person, and he will understand. ”

"That's right."

Soon, Lin Hui rushed outside the division headquarters.

Outside the gate, Xu Da and a few people were talking and laughing, imagining their life after entering the military academy.

Seeing Lin Hui rushing out like crazy, with tears in the corners of his eyes, he was all stunned.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Why are you still crying?"

"Is it beaten by someone, whoever beats you, we can't kill him!"

Lin Hui took a deep breath and said, "You go back to the guest house first, someone will take you to report tomorrow morning, and I will go to a place to do something." ”

Xu Da's face was puzzled: "You're not with us?" ”

Zhang Wei was worried: "If you don't go, you will be punished, and the orders will come down!" ”

Wang Yong and Chen Erhu asked with concern: "Brother Hui, where are you going, is something wrong, do you want us to help?" ”

Lin Hui shook his head, his eyes were extremely firm: "I'm going to go to the place where my dream of being a soldier began, even if I am punished and confined, I must go." Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life! ”
