Chapter 021 I Won’t Be Harsh to You
At 2:30 p.m. the next day, the train that Gu Xiaoxi was riding on finally arrived at Qingbei City.
As soon as she got off the train, she was attracted by the soldiers standing in a row not far away.
Lu Jiansen took a quick glance and then waved in that direction.
Soon someone came running over, "Battalion Commander..."
While Gu Xiaoxi was in a daze, the group of people had already run over and saluted him.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Gu Xiaoxi smiled shyly, "Hello!"
"Sister-in-law, we will take the things. You and the battalion commander can go empty-handed!" The soldiers who came to take the luggage emptied the luggage in a few seconds. The soldiers who couldn't get the luggage even fought with each other.
"Why are there so many people here?" Lu Jiansen asked sternly.
His voice was too cold and too deep, and Gu Xiaoxi reacted strongly and looked at him.
Lu Jiansen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly softened his cold facial expression for fear of scaring his little girl.
"We were passing by the station, so we came to pick up the battalion commander and sister-in-law." Deputy Company Commander Li Kun said in a low voice.
Lu Jiansen frowned, "On your way?"
Li Kun nodded, "Yes. Captain, let's get in the car and talk. Sister-in-law must be tired!"
Lu Jiansen glanced at the little girl beside him, but in the end said nothing.
The troops' car was parked outside the station, but the man standing next to the car ruined Gu Xiaoxi's happiness.
She ran over like the wind, grabbed the other person's sleeve, and her eyes became red.
"elder brother……"
Gu Dachuan was shocked by his sister's appearance and quickly reached out to wipe her tears.
"Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "I just missed you so much!"
She hasn't seen her brother for so many years!
Gu Dachuan touched her head with amusement, "Girl, you look as sweet as honey after not seeing you for a while. Get in the car quickly, I just bought you a big bag of food, all of which are your favorites."
Gu Xiaoxi immediately climbed into the car and completely forgot about Lu Jiansen.
Seeing that the little girl's heart and eyes were only focused on her elder brother, Lu Jiansen sighed helplessly.
After getting in the car, Lu Jiansen asked, "Tell me about your trip?"
Gu Dachuan was silent for a while before he said, "Captain Xiao has died. His wife was so upset that she committed suicide this morning. We borrowed a car to pick you up at the station, and we took her to the hospital on the way."
Lu Jiansen's eyes darkened slightly, and a dark color flashed in his eyes.
When he talked to the regiment commander on the phone the day before yesterday, the commander told him that if he couldn't get back in time, he would let Battalion Commander Xiao lead the mission.
But he never thought that Captain Xiao would sacrifice himself because of this.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly heard such a heavy topic and fell silent for a while.
After a moment of silence in the car, a soldier said with some grievance and resentment: "The sacrifice of the second battalion commander was not caused by the battalion commander, but I don't know who spread the rumor that the battalion commander knew that this mission was dangerous and deliberately returned late and did not lead the team. The second battalion commander died for the battalion commander..."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Lu Jiansen and Gu Xiaoxi looked towards him.
Lu Jiansen was surprised, but Gu Xiaoxi was shocked!
In her previous life, she had heard her brother talk about some things in the army. He said that the soldier whom he admired and respected the most, King Lu Yan, had sacrificed himself to save a battalion commander of the Second Battalion who had taken a reckless mission.
My brother was very angry at the time. When he was drunk at home during the New Year, he scolded the second battalion commander.
Thinking of this, her body trembled a little!
She turned her head to look at Lu Jiansen, who had a perfect profile but a solemn expression, and her voice was so soft that she could hardly hear it.
"Are you known as King Lu Yan?"
Lu Jiansen looked at the obviously frightened little girl and felt a moment of panic in his heart.
He quickly held her hand and assured her, "I won't be mean to you!"
She looked into his eyes, her long eyelashes blinked, and tears rolled down unconsciously.
She choked up and said, "You don't want to die, okay?"
For some reason, she suddenly had a strange feeling at this moment. Lu Jiansen died in his previous life because she did not keep him!
Lu Jiansen looked at the little girl's tears and his heart ached.
He has always had strong self-control, but at this moment he couldn't help but hold the little girl in his arms and pat her back gently.
"Don't be afraid! I'll be fine!"
He will definitely stay alive, and no matter how dangerous the mission is, he must come back alive.
His little girl needed his care, he was no longer alone!
Gu Dachuan watched his sister cry and cursed the people in the Second Battalion to death in his heart.
They were also sad, regretful and upset about the sacrifice of the Second Battalion Commander, but they could not blame Battalion Commander Lu, not to mention that it also affected his own sister.
He will catch those bastards who spread the rumor and give them a good beating!
The road back to the unit was not easy to travel on and the car was bumpy, but Gu Xiaoxi seemed to be oblivious and would glance at Lu Jiansen from time to time.
Lu Jiansen was a little helpless. The little girl seemed to be frightened by the sacrifice of the second battalion commander.
He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just held her hand tightly to give her some strength.
He actually wanted to tell her that her man was not that weak!
At six o'clock in the evening, Gu Xiaoxi finally saw the military family compound where she would live in the future.
Looking at the big words "Be vigilant, defend the motherland" on the wall, she felt a sense of security in her heart.
Gu Dachuan was the first to rush in with his luggage. "Sister, your yard is the last one on the north side. I've checked it out for you. The yard is not big and the house is old. The good thing is that there is a well in the yard, so it's convenient for washing things."
Gu Xiaoxi was also very curious, so he also sped up.
Everyone in the family compound was preparing dinner at the moment, and not many people were outside. However, when Gu Xiaoxi passed by, there were still many people looking out of the windows.
