Si Jingguo kicks very quickly.

Before his men could tackle him, he had already kicked the child who was rushing towards him and sent him flying backwards.

He retracted his foot quickly and did not hurt the other child who was trying to knock down the other child.

He was thrown to the ground by his men.

The soldiers consciously divided into two teams, one team was on guard against the group of children, and the other team looked at the battalion commander with concern.

"Captain, are you okay?"

"Captain, are you injured?"

Seeing that the battalion commander's cotton trousers were torn and his boots had a long and deep scratch on them, they nervously turned up his trouser legs.

Seeing that his inner trousers were not torn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and admired the solid material of the cotton trousers and the good quality of the boots.

The child who was kicked away by Si Jingguo fell heavily to the ground with his four legs in the air. The other children immediately rushed over and held down his limbs and body, and some children sat on his stomach.

"Are you blind? Can't you see that these are the people who came to save us?" a child scolded him.

"You're the one who's blind. He's the one we caught. Who told them to come so late?"

As soon as the man finished cursing, the child sitting on his abdomen immediately slapped him in the face.

"Do they have clairvoyance or super hearing? How could they know you were captured? Aren't they coming now?"

The man roared, "It's no use coming now, I'm already like this."

"Can you blame them? They are not your father or your mother!"

The man said unreasonably: "It's their fault. Who told them not to catch the bad guys?"

"How do you let them catch the bad guys? Do you write on their faces?"

"That's right, the bad guy doesn't have 'I'm a bad guy' written on his face!"

"I don't care, just blame them, why aren't their brothers and sisters being punished?"

"puff!"

The cursing stopped abruptly.

I saw that the man's head was pierced by a wooden stick.

The sudden scene scared everyone.

The murderer was a boy of about 13 years old.

The boy wiped the blood off his face without a care, "You are so ungrateful, you don't deserve to be saved."

After saying this casually, the young man bowed deeply to Si Jingguo and the others, "Uncle Soldier, thank you for saving me. I want to be a soldier who saves people from danger in the future!"

Seeing this, other children followed suit.

"Thank you, soldier uncle. I want to be a soldier in the future too."

"Thank you, soldier uncle. I want to learn from you and save people."

"Thank you, soldier uncle. I will save many, many people in the future."

The soldiers' hearts, which had just been hurt, were instantly healed by the children's innocent words.

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you."

Several years later, when these children grew up and joined the military camp in accordance with their promise, the chief instructor who had served under Si Jingguo finally understood the meaning of that sentence.

——What we are saving is the future of our motherland.

It is not just the life of one person or a group of people, but a transmission of kindness and a heritage of mission.

Looking at those people's youthful faces and their determined eyes, he felt relieved and proud.

Take the baton, young man, and pass on the legacy!

**

This minor incident was not enough to affect the overall situation, so Si Jingguo did not mention it when reporting to the senior leaders.

The senior leader had already learned about the situation in Shao County from Si Jingyu and arranged two vehicles for them in advance to transport the children.

"Commander, did Xiaoyu tell you all this?"

"yes."

"Oh, goodbye, Commander."

"goodbye."

Si Jingguo felt very aggrieved.

After that incident, his brother never contacted him directly again, and always went through many roundabout ways to ask others to assign him tasks.

Whenever he called, the person who answered the phone always said: "The boss is not here."

His brother never returned home except for that meeting between the two families, and he didn't even have the chance to apologize and make amends in person.

He, the brother, became the most familiar stranger.

Why would a stranger he met along the way be more important than his elder brother?

He really couldn't understand it.

I don’t know who to ask.

Si Jingguo did not ride in the same car with his men. Despite the dissuasion, he got into the same car with the young man.

The boy was a little surprised to see that he was in a low mood.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Sometimes, strangers you don’t know can really break your defenses.

Perhaps it was the boy's decisive act of killing before that made Si Jingguo subconsciously feel that he was too mature to be a child.

Hearing this question, Si Jingguo sighed and actually said it out loud: "Tell me, why are some strangers more important than your own brothers?"

The boy stared at Si Jingguo for a long moment, then looked past him out the window. "Maybe it was because of that stranger that he was motivated to move forward?"

"Like a guiding light?"

"That's about right." The young man looked away, "I used to live in a daze, even bewildered, not knowing why I was alive.

"Suddenly one day someone appears and makes you understand the meaning of life and stops you from just getting by. Do you think he is unimportant?"

"How can that be more important than his biological brother who has loved him since childhood?"

"That's different." The boy shook his head. "Imagine that person affirmed you, but your brother overturned that person. In other words, your brother denied you. How would you feel?"

"You," Si Jingguo blinked, curious, "Why do you think your own brother overthrew that person?"

The young man spread his hands, "Isn't this obvious? Otherwise, why would that person ignore his own brother?"

Si Jingguo: “…”

He didn't seem to say anything, so how come you guessed it so accurately?
