Chapter 178 Retirement, farewell
A beam of red light soared into the sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Everyone was stunned and looked back in surprise.
It's Lu Yan,
He took the initiative to fire his flare gun.
Chen Yu never expected this. He thought it would be Xiang Yu. In the play, it was Xiang Yu who chose to give up and fulfilled Jiang Xiaoyu and the others. He said, "I'm tired, you can walk the rest of the way for me." He touched many people. He knew that he was injured all over his body, and going to Mars might be a hindrance. For the honor of the country and for these young people to have a chance to succeed, he chose to give up his dream of pursuing more than ten years.
But, Lu Yan...
Chen Yu also knew about Lu Yan. Like Jiang Xiaoyu, he had a girlfriend who had been dating for many years and married his best friend. The reason was that he gave up the swimming team and chose to be a soldier, and his girlfriend was a Work brigade, I always hope that my future boyfriend can be a good swimmer.
Didn't he always hope to get a name in the army, and then stand imposingly in front of that woman in an officer's uniform and tell her that the choice back then was wrong?
Lu Yan didn't say anything, just glanced at Chen Yu lightly.He turned around and went back to the dangerous building, walked upstairs, and waited for a while for the helicopter to come to pick him up.
Chen Yu understood that look.
He is returning favors.
The favors from Paradise Island last time, and the favors from Zhang Chong, Jiang Xiaoyu and others who helped him when he was injured during pre-match training a few months ago.
After returning from Paradise Island, the relationship between the two eased, and they were barely friends.
As the sound of Lu Yan's footsteps gradually faded away, everyone came back to their senses. They were not observing each other with hostility, but were all looking at the flare gun in their arms, hesitating what to make.
The cool wind blew past, blowing up the thin undershirts of several people through the cuffs, and the hems of the clothes that were not tied around the waist were blown loudly.
Xiang Yu frowned and stared blankly. He raised his head, looked at the top of a hill in the distance, and slowly touched the flare gun at his waist.
Snapped!
Balan suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, his mouth was tight, his eyes were swollen and he stared at him, and he pressed his hand back.
He has been with Xiang Yu for six years, and he knows best the old squad leader's attachment and yearning for Mars.
"Hit it, why the hell don't you hit it! What are you doing here in a daze!"
Baron struggled to stand up and roared around the crowd, trying to provoke them and break the deathly silence.
……
"Why are you here? Didn't Xiao Lu accompany you to the hospital for an examination?" In the monitoring room, seeing Long Baichuan coming in, Wu Gang suddenly stood up.
"I knew you were going to say this." Long Baichuan shook his head and laughed, and took out his physical examination form from his breast pocket.
Wu Gang grabbed the physical examination form, looked at the columns of "health" on it, and looked at Long Baichuan suspiciously.
"Are you sure you didn't put the gun on the doctor's head?"
He remembered that Long Baichuan had coughed up blood a few months ago.Are hemoptysis and coma still healthy?
"How could it be? Unless I don't want to be the captain of the investigation brigade anymore." Long Baichuan laughed dryly. That's okay, when he went to the hospital, the doctor told him that he was much healthier than normal people, and he thought he didn't have long to live.
"There are only nine left? So fast." Long Baichuan leaned forward and looked at the ranking display of the number of eliminations on the screen, and sighed in disappointment. He still wanted to watch a wonderful fight, and it seemed that there was no hope.
But when he glanced at the monitor screen beside him, his eyes widened slightly, and he let out a small snort.
"These boys are actually mixed together!"
"Isn't this Xu Jin? He actually participated in this year's competition. Why has he been hiding in the ravine, and there is only one elimination? It shouldn't be."
"Lin Tao? This kid hasn't moved his position for three days! He's been lying under this haystack all this time, probably because he just drank water and went to the toilet. But for someone like him, wouldn't it be a hindrance to go to the competition? .”
Team Dragon let out several exclamations.
"Look at you who have never seen the world. The previous games were much more exaggerated than this." Wu Gang shook his head speechlessly, "Let's see how these boys choose. At this point in time, we need to find Lin Tao and Xu Jin probably don't have much hope, and we can only eliminate one of them, and if they don't handle it well, they will have a lifetime of grudges."
Serving as a soldier is said to be to protect the family and the country, but many of them also want to fight for a good future. This is an opportunity to advance.
Balang was still roaring. He dragged his injured body, walked up to Zhang Chong, and grabbed Zhang Chong, who was also a wounded man, by his collar.
"Didn't you always dislike me, get up! Hit me."
He was also conflicted in his heart, he didn't want to give up, and he didn't want everyone to have a dispute because of this. He simply stood up and challenged Zhang Chong. Anyway, they were both wounded, and their injuries might not be certain after a few months of the game. can recover.Whoever is eliminated is good for this team.
"boom!"
Just when the two were about to strike, another signal gun rang out, and the chirping sound that went straight into the sky instantly touched everyone's heartstrings.
Everyone turned their heads in unison,
It's——Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Smelly fish...you..." Zhang Chong froze.
"I pulled up this boat. You are on my thief boat. I will make sure to send you ashore." Jiang Xiaoyu shrugged and smiled, throwing his flare gun on the ground.
At the same time, the radio sounded in the midair of Despair Island.
"No. 36 Jiang Xiaoyu is eliminated, and this qualifier is officially over. All contestants are asked to fire the signal gun, reveal their location, and wait for the rescue plane to arrive."
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
.........
The qualifiers were over, everyone returned to their original units, those who were injured began to recuperate, and those who were eliminated returned to their original lives.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye, the two-year military service was over, and most of the recruits chose to leave or were forced to leave.
Chen Yu sat on the roof of the dormitory building, quietly watching the crowd below who hugged their comrades and left in military vehicles with their bags on their backs.
There was a lot of reluctance on their immature faces, and many of them were secretly wiping away their tears.
"Eh!"
There was a crisp female voice.
He looked down and saw that it was Shen Ge.
"Ok?"
The dormitory building was not high, only six or seven meters, so he jumped directly into it.
"How did you come?"
"Didn't I hear that some of your comrades retired from the army? Come here to comfort you. Don't be too sad. In fact, these are normal things. Maybe they will live better after they leave. You should..."
"Wait a minute! Retired?"
Chen Yu was taken aback: "Who is it?"
"You don't know?" Shen Ge was also stunned for a moment, "It's that Jiang Xiaoyu, he went to find Wu a few days ago... eh, eh, why did you go?"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Yu suddenly ran away.
Chen Yu came to the dormitory of Class [-] and found that there was no one in the dormitory. It was lunch time, so everyone should have gone to eat.Jiang Xiaoyu's bed was already empty, and there were marks on the floor that had just been cleaned, probably not long after he left.
"Fuck! This kid, don't even say a word when you leave!"
He hurriedly ran to the playground to look for him again, and finally found this guy among the crowd waiting for the bus. This kid lowered his hat to cover his face, for fear that others would recognize him.
"Jiang Xiaoyu!"
Chen Yu shouted loudly, scaring Jiang Xiaoyu in front of him.
"Yu...Brother Yu..."
"What's the matter with you! Didn't you pass your grades? Why didn't you stay and transfer to a non-commissioned officer?" Chen Yu asked forcefully.
"Um...that..."
The smile on Jiang Xiaoyu's face was a little stiff.
"Someone tripped you up?"
"No, no, how come, I want to go."
"Why?" Chen Yu frowned, puzzled.
A non-commissioned officer in the Marine Corps has a salary of four to five thousand a month, and various subsidies every month. After retiring in the future, he might be able to get a small official in the county. Why leave with such a good salary? This kid has a junior high school diploma. It would be nice to find a job half as good as this after going out.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Chen Yu and said.
"Brother Yu, you also know that I told you that my father died early, my mother was old, and I was the only son in the family, and no one took care of her. She got sick a few years ago, and now she is sick. When she got serious, she needed an operation urgently, and it cost 20 yuan. I had to get my retirement pay to pay for her treatment.
It's not all about money, but it's mainly because of homesickness. I haven't seen my mother for two years. I can dream of her every night. She says she misses me too. Let me dress warmly and eat well. Ask me if I am tired, and tell me that she is doing well so I don't worry. "
While talking, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes turned red.
"Do you know, Brother Yu, I live in fear every day, because I am afraid that something will happen to my mother at home, and no one will notice her. My father died like that. My mother had a heart attack. My mother and I are not at home. he just……"
His voice was choked with sobs, he suppressed his crying, waved his hands and didn't say any more.
"Brother Yu, in fact, I really thank you. If you hadn't encouraged me at the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to persevere, and I might have been fired from the Marine Corps long ago. I can also see that you have great abilities In the future, you will be the dragon among men, the life of princes and generals, and you will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future, brigade commander and division commander, no! You must be a general, and then my younger brother can use your name to brag to others Pretending to be aggressive, saying that I, Jiang Xiaoyu, used to be comrades-in-arms with the general..."
Chen Yu listened quietly, and did not say anything to persuade him to stay. The discharge certificate has already come down, so it is useless to persuade him to stay.
Jiang Xiaoyu left, walked into the crowd with the same army green bag on his back, got into the car, and left without looking back.
Chen Yu didn't know, this kid kept holding back until the car turned a corner and out of Chen Yu's sight, he lay on the car window and looked at the military area behind him where he had been for two years, crying and crying.
Chen Yu didn't go to see him off, and just stood behind the retired crowd, watching groups of people leave. He didn't go back until night when there was no one on the playground.
Sometimes he doesn't know what to say. If he walks on this path, he is destined to experience more partings than others. He also tried to persuade himself to be more bearish. It cannot be avoided or prevented.But every time he faced this kind of thing, he was still moved.
"Send this letter to XXX, the addressee is..."
Chen Yu handed a letter containing a bank card to the postman.Even if that kid adds retirement pension, employment subsidy and family subsidy, he only has a little over a hundred thousand in his hand at most, which is not enough money for the operation, and he will have to borrow it at that time.This card contains some of his bonuses and allowances as well as some savings of the original body.There should be a hundred thousand or so, send it to that kid, it can be regarded as a relief for him.I didn't give it in person, because I was afraid that he would not pick it up.
The barracks haven't changed much, but there are many old faces missing, and there will be many new faces after recruiting in a few months.
Chen Yu would occasionally go to the dormitory of Class [-] to take a look. Although the kid's bed was empty, there was still a water glass on it, and the Marine Corps was written on it.
Whenever the Luo bell rang in the army, he would always say something in his heart.
"The face in this world is less once seen..."
I always want to write with more depth, but I feel that my writing skills are too weak, and I can't polish it even if I keep polishing it.
It's almost four o'clock, I'm really sleepy, I'll edit it during the day, there are some wrong sentences
