By the time they were allowed to visit Xin Yi, it was already early summer.
Liming opened the door gently, and Xin Yi was lying quietly on the bed looking out the window in a daze, his plastered right leg covered with bandages. A crutch rested quietly beside the bed. Seeing them, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then dimmed: "Are you here? Sit down."
Liming sat down next to him and said, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
??
Yang Aiguo held his hand and said, "Don't worry, take good care of him. We will still be together when he is taken care of. We are all waiting for you to return to the team."
Xin Yi shook his head and said helplessly: "Return to the team? I'm afraid I'll never go back." As he said that, he turned to look out the window and bit his lip again, holding back tears, turned around and murmured: "It's all over, especially For me, this team will probably become the history of my life."
Fugui looked at him silently, feeling unspeakable sadness in his heart. This strong man never shed tears on the battlefield, but at this moment he could not bear the heartbreaking pain of having to leave the military camp because his comrades were injured. He lowered his head and choked up and said: "How could it be? We are the closest comrades in arms. What will happen if you are disabled? We have experienced life and death together. At the worst, we will take care of you for the rest of our lives."
Xin Yi sighed and said: "Don't feel sorry for me. After all, I am also a disabled soldier. Even if I return to my hometown, the local government will assign me a job. I will have an iron rice bowl in my next life. I will ask for a job in the future. Wife, living a stable life means I have fulfilled my pursuit in life. To be honest, I really don¡¯t want to leave. Being able to know brothers like you, even if I fall down, it¡¯s worth it¡ªit¡¯s really worth it.¡±
The comrades were all silent. Fugui knew that no one would feel good at this time.
Xin Yi raised his face and closed his eyes, but tears still flowed down his cheeks. He wiped a handful of tears and said, "Look at me, I'm really hopeless now. To be honest, when the doctor told me the result, I I can't accept it. How could a good person suddenly become a cripple? But these days, I always think of Ryoko and the others. Compared with them, I am still very lucky. This injury is nothing. Besides, this Being awarded second-class merit for the first time can be regarded as a successful conclusion to my military career. Even if I change my career, I have an explanation for myself."
The bright sunshine penetrated the curtains and shone on him slantingly.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Do you believe it? I was forced to be a soldier by my father. When I was in junior high school, I didn't study well and I always fought with my classmates. Later, I became more and more courageous and often fought with gangsters in society. They got together and disturbed the neighbors. My father had no choice but to send me to the army. At that time, I thought that if I could learn good kung fu in the army, I would not be bullied by others when I returned. As a result, I was sent to the army , life is not only so plain, but also has so many more disciplines. You have to sing during meals, and you have to run and do exercises in the morning. I really felt very uncomfortable at first. Hey, Xiaoyu, do you still remember that fight we had in the original army? "
Yu Yu nodded: "It was my fault that time. I shouldn't have provoked you."
Xin Yi smiled and said: "Haha, I deliberately choked you with my words. I originally planned to fight with you and get punished before going back, but who knew that by some strange combination of circumstances, I ended up in the special operations team. This may be God's will. In fact, , when I first came to the special operations team, I gave up countless times, really. This kind of training was too cruel, and it almost felt like being abused. But seeing how seriously you all trained, I thought about it over and over again, Even if I leave, I can¡¯t embarrass myself too much. I have to wait until I pass the training before I leave. I didn¡¯t expect that I would be unable to live without you later.¡±
He looked at his comrades with a smile and continued: "Although the training is hard, there is always indescribable happiness when I am with you. Although the training was extremely hard at that time, because of the mutual encouragement and care among the comrades, there has never been such a joy." I had no idea of ??leaving.¡±
Xin Yi closed his eyes slightly, he was already immersed in the past.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and continued: "Do you still remember the time when Ryoko left? Are you afraid? To be honest, I am afraid. A living life just fell into a pool of blood. I was really afraid at the beginning, and I was not afraid of your jokes. , I couldn't adjust my thoughts for a long time after I came back that time. Because I am a mortal, let alone getting married, I have never even touched the little girl's hand. Who would be willing to leave like this? I really don't want to I lost my life, but everyone's revenge was inspiring me. I secretly warned myself that I must adjust my mentality and persevere. We were participating in a just battle. Although I was nervous during the subsequent actions, I was really no longer afraid. Maybe the captain is right, our youth needs passion, and the special operations team is where we can vent our passion."
After speaking, he slowly stretched out his hand: "I miss you very much, and I really want to be with you. Because of our agreement: we will always be a member of the special operations team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, sharing joys and sorrows, and depending on each other for life and death!"
Everyone held his hand tightly and nodded.
Fugui¡¯s clenched hand trembled slightly with excitement. He looked at Xin Yi¡¯s determined eyes, and the feeling at this moment was beyond words. This is his comrade-in-arms, the comrade-in-arms who will share life and death with him! They are also full of pride and use their blood to write a tragic but youthful page in their lives. For the sake of the peace of the motherland, they stay away from their relatives and devote their dreams and even their lives to this vast desert.
Like ordinary people, they have their own joys and sorrows, but when the country needs it most, they will dye the hunting flag red with their blood. There are no touching words, but they have been using their actions to defend the dignity of soldiers.
Maybe what Xin Yi said was against his will, because from his eyes, Fugui could clearly see the tears he was holding back. He definitely didn't want to leave here. They were both soldiers. He could understand Xin Yi's mood. He said that, He was just comforting himself and his comrades. He knew that changing jobs due to injury was the most helpless and tragic choice for a soldier.
Looking at Xin Yi¡¯s slightly haggard face, everyone didn¡¯t want to say goodbye. Maybe, with a goodbye, we will be far apart from now on, and there will never be a chance to see each other again.
But they firmly believe that distance can only block their vision and will never change the distance between their hearts - because they are comrades-in-arms and brothers who share weal and woe! !
