Winter in the Gobi always comes so early, and the cold wind is sharp and howling across the empty and vast Gobi. The withered wormwood was rolled into a ball by the wind, and the flying yellow dust was rolling in the cold wind. The tall poplar trees in the yard were swayed by the strong wind, making sharp howls.
Fugui just came out of the cafeteria and ran to the dormitory in the cold wind. As soon as he went upstairs, he heard a sharp whistle coming from the training ground. Standing in the passage, he saw two squadrons of the Fourth Squadron, fully armed, gathering at the training ground. A helicopter was parked aside, its propellers spinning constantly "buzzing".
"There should be another mission." Fugui watched the familiar comrades get into the helicopter. The helicopter rose steadily, blew up a cloud of dust, and flew towards the hazy sunset, gradually turning into a black point.
Fugui silently blessed his comrades in his heart, watching the black spot gradually disappear into the yellow dust blown by the wind. The sunset also lost its past tragic and solemnity, emitting a pale yellow light alone in the sharp wind, only the vastness The Gobi Desert is still vast.
Fugui returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed to rest for a while. His comrades who had just had dinner returned to the dormitory one after another. They kept joking. Fugui felt puzzled. These boys were overloaded with training every day, but Whenever I have free time, I just talk nonsense. I don¡¯t know where the energy comes from.
Fugui, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly felt a heat coming from his face. He knew that someone must be approaching him, and then he felt itchy on his face. Fugui opened his eyes and saw Yu Yu holding a note and gently touching his face. The ground was scratching back and forth, with a child's unique cunningness on his face.
Seeing him wake up, Yu Yu sat down next to Fugui and smiled jokingly: "Are you really asleep?"
Fugui stretched out and suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort in his legs. It was itchy and a little sore. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and groaned. Yu Yu looked at him and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
In fact, Fugui¡¯s legs have been like this these days, especially at night, as if thousands of ants are gnawing at his bones, and his legs are cramped and sore like he¡¯s caught a cold. Seeing that Yu Yu was so nervous, Fugui smiled and said, "It's nothing, maybe I caught a cold and my legs are a little uncomfortable."
"Oh." Yu Yu nodded with confidence, turned around and joked with his comrades for a while, suddenly remembered something, looked at Fugui suddenly, his eyes opened like bells: "Fugui, do you feel sore and sore?"
Fugui nodded, not knowing why Yu Yu was so nervous, he looked at Yu Yu in astonishment.
????????????????
Fugui sat up and beat his legs. Feeling better, he asked, "What's going on? You didn't ask Lao Jin?"
Yu Xiao smiled and said, "It's just like that at night. If it doesn't hurt during training, just forget about it, haha."
An Xiuguo, who was watching the news, heard their conversation, turned around and said seriously: "I understand, have you ever heard of 'confinement disease'? If a woman catches a cold after giving birth, this is what you call the symptom." , I heard that this disease is difficult to treat.¡±
Fugui and Xiaoyu looked at each other and saw the seriousness on his face. Xiaoyu murmured: "Confinement disease? What kind of disease is that?"
The other comrades laughed, and Fugui immediately reacted, got up from the bed, and was about to go over to beat him, but Yu Yu had already rushed over and punched An Xiuguo several times in the chest: "You dare to play tricks on us? We grown men will get 'months' Is it a disease? You have to let me see it once."
Fugui put on his clothes and pulled Yu Yu over and said, "Okay, let Lao Jin take a look, let's go."
Lao Jin is a military doctor of the special operations team. Although his comrades call him Lao Jin, he is not very old. He just has a thick beard on his face. After shaving every day, the place where the beard grows is green, so his comrades call him Lao Jin. He is Lao Jin. I heard that he used to be an orthopedic surgeon in a military hospital. After the special operations team was formed, he applied to be transferred to the special operations group himself. Lao Jin doesn't talk much and seldom goes out. He likes to stay in the infirmary and read the thick medical books on his bookshelf.
When Fugui and Xiaoyu arrived at the infirmary, Lao Jin was treating a comrade. Fugui was not used to the pungent smell of medicine, so he sat on the bench. Yu Yu didn't sit down, and stood there looking at the human skeleton paintings posted on the wall.
"It's just a cold and fever. Just drink some medicine and it will be fine." Lao Jin said as he stood up, took a few boxes of medicine from the medicine shelf and placed them on the table.
The comrade was still sitting there and said a little dissatisfied: "It's so uncomfortable to have a cold. I heard that injections or infusions come quickly."
Lao Jin smiled and said: "There is no need for injections and infusions for a mild cold."
The comrade-in-arms, however, refused to give in. He looked back at Yu Yu and the others, lowered his voice and discussed with Lao Jin, saying: "??? "Fugui suddenly remembered that when the punishment was announced that day, they said it was time to leave. He sat down and looked at Li Ming coldly: "What reason can you have? Isn't it just that he was punished and demoted? Let me tell you Liming, the special operations team has not sorry for you. Even though you have been demoted, you are still the acting squadron leader. How many people in the entire brigade can enjoy this kind of treatment? Isn¡¯t it because the brigade captain values ??you? If you left because of that punishment, that proves you are a coward! "
"Wrong!" Liming stood up suddenly, panting and staring at Fugui: "You underestimate me too much. A mere punishment is nothing to me. You can do the math. Our special team has more punishments than me. Are there too many people?" After finishing speaking, he drank the cup of tea in one gulp and calmed down a little before saying, "To be honest, although this punishment feels unfair, if it was because of the punishment, I would never take off this military uniform. "He looked down at his clothes, with a trace of pride on his face: "This military uniform has allowed me to realize my dream, and it also makes me feel extremely proud and proud in this life."
Fugui looked at Li Ming quietly, he was now eager to know his real reason. Sure enough, Li Ming lit up a cigarette and took a few puffs silently, and said helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I called my family a few days ago. My father is ill. He is very serious. He is now living in the hospital. Fugui, I am the only son in our family. I can¡¯t be with my father when he is sick. What kind of son am I? What kind of man am I? So, after thinking about it for a few days and nights, I decided to go back. The special operations team does not have me and my comrades. , but without me, the family is missing its backbone. Even if I don¡¯t change my job, can I feel at ease staying here?¡±
"Oh?" Fugui didn't expect this to be the reason. He asked with concern: "What's wrong with the old man?"
Li Ming stared at the phone blankly and said: "Hereinary hemorrhage. At first I asked Ya, but she didn't tell me. Later I called my third aunt, and she told me my father's true condition. Fugui, these two I have been thinking about what Ya once said to me. When we put on this military uniform, we have fulfilled our dreams, but what about our responsibilities to our families? Apart from making them worry and worry, what have we given them? When the elderly are getting older, we cannot be filial to them; when we have a family, we cannot help our wives share the responsibilities; when we have children in the future, we cannot give them a warm home. Do we owe too much to our families? Already?"
His words couldn't help but remind Fugui of Yanzi. If he could stay by his father's side when he was sick, Yanzi would not have left so young. Maybe Li Ming was right. Their debt to their family would probably be difficult to repay in their lifetime.
Li Ming sighed and said leisurely: "When I was very young, my father was in the army. When I was four years old, he sent me back to my hometown to live with my grandfather. At that time, when I saw other children being wronged, they would cling to my father. When I act like a spoiled child around my mother, I naively thought, when will I be able to cuddle up to my parents like them? But that dream has never been realized because I have no relatives except my grandfather. Later, I gradually became more sensible, and my grandfather treated me like a baby. Said: Man, you must be strong! So, I forced myself to be strong. To be honest, sometimes I am extremely cowardly inside, but I still have to pretend to be strong, not wanting others to see through the slightest bit of my cowardice." After finishing speaking. Smiling at Fugui: "Do you believe it? When I grew up, I cried only once when my grandfather passed away, that one time!"
Fugui looked at him silently. He had never been able to understand him before. He always felt that Li Ming had too strong a personality and was a hard-hearted person. But now he suddenly understood that a person's childhood experiences often affect his life. .
Li Ming got up and poured a glass of water, put it next to Fugui and said: "You know, when I was a child, I just returned to my hometown. The children in the village often bullied me, and I was often beaten until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen. Later, my grandfather told me: If there is something reasonable, you You have to stand up and resist; you have to dare to take responsibility for unreasonable things. Later, I started fighting with those children. Gradually, those children knew that I was not easy to mess with, and they no longer dared to bully me. From then on I understand the truth that no matter what you do, you can only rely on yourself and don't rely on others. Fugui, my life has been most influenced by my grandfather. It can be said that it was my grandfather who changed my life. I know the responsibility that my grandfather said. What is it? When we put on this military uniform, it is our responsibility to uphold justice. As men, it is also our responsibility to give our families a warm home. Am I right?"
Fugui nodded. Although he felt very disappointed that he was about to lose his best comrade, he knew that he had been affected by Li Ming's words. He stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the dim night and sighed softly. Perhaps, he could not deny Li Ming's words, because he knew what a man's responsibility should be. However, when I think of the comrades who have shared the same hardships and have to leave here, and they will be separated from each other, a deep sadness comes to my heart
