Chapter 401 First visit to the island
The Eighth Military Region actually has temporary family dormitories, but they are only used to receive personnel from higher-level military departments, that is, relatives and spouses of married non-commissioned officers who do not have the conditions to accompany the troops but enjoy fixed home leave to visit their families.
When family members of ordinary soldiers come to the team, they can ask for temporary leave according to regulations, but they are not allowed to stay at the team headquarters when visiting relatives.
Although Yan Shaoyu is a top recruit with a promising future, he currently does not meet the criteria for relatives to visit the army.
Gu Yuehuai's obsidian-black eyes flashed a light smile: "I may be able to become your comrade-in-arms in the future. Although I am not yet, as the fiancée of a new recruit who is about to get married, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules for me to stay for a while, right?"
If she was really just Yan Shaoyu's girlfriend, then she naturally couldn't go to the Eighth Military Region. But now with the letter of introduction issued by Xu Chuangu, she has already obtained the certificate to become Yan Shaoyu's comrade-in-arms, and it is normal for her to live in the military region.
Li Dongdong was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head: "Comrade?? Our Eighth Military Region has a female barracks?"
When Xu Chuangu was writing the letter of introduction, Li Dongdong happened to be calling Song Lin and Bai Jing and did not hear anything related.
She looked back at Li Dongdong, with a faint smile on her delicate and beautiful face: "Hello, Gu Yuehuai, I will be the military doctor of our military region in the future. I hope I will not serve you."
Li Dongdong was stunned at first, but then he figured out the reason.
He couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, Comrade Gu's medical skills are extraordinary. When the doctor examined the chief just now, he was amazed and praised him. He even thought he was the most experienced military doctor in our military region!"
Speaking of this, Li Dongdong couldn't help but grin, looking at Gu Yuehuai with admiration in his eyes.
Such a capable girl is indeed worthy of being the object of the new soldier Wang Yan Shaoyu. He thought about it and exclaimed, "Marriage? Comrade Gu, are you saying that you and Shaoyu are going to get married? Are you here to get a marriage certificate this time?"
His eyes were so bright that they almost glowed, and his gossip spirit was burning.
Gu Yuehuai nodded and agreed readily: "Yes."
Hearing this, Li Dongdong sighed deeply and looked at Yan Shaoyu with resentment.
"You said that in our military district, apart from the family members who accompany the troops, there is not even a female mosquito to be seen on weekdays. Finally, a girl came, and she is a beautiful girl. But before I could make a move, she was already taken. Yan Shaoyu, do you deserve to be hated?!"
Li Dongdong said this and rolled his eyes at Yan Shaoyu.
"Do you think a beautiful girl will fall in love with you? You have no chance anyway." Yan Shaoyu raised the corner of his eyes and said good-temperedly.
Li Dongdong covered his chest with his hands, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
Then the two chatted for a while, without mentioning what happened in the Municipal Party Committee compound today. Gu Yuehuai wanted to ask, but swallowed her words. She knew that Yan Shaoyu didn't want her to get involved in this matter, and it seemed that the killer tonight was not ordinary.
After a winding dirt road, we arrived at the pier.
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised: "The Eighth Military District is on the island?"
Although she had received the letter from Yan Shaoyu, the specific address was not mentioned as being on the island. This meant that the location was secret and the conditions must have been very difficult. No wonder Yan Shaoyu's skin looked rough after not seeing him for just one month.
Li Dongdong laughed: "Huaihai City is near the sea, so what's so strange about the Eighth Military Region being on an island? Don't worry, it's not far away."
After he said that, he got out of the car first and called on the people in Xu Chuangu's car to get on the boat.
After Yan Shaoyu and Gu Yuehuai got out of the car, it was driven away by one of the men in military uniform.
Although it was early in the morning, the pier was already very busy.
Fishermen go out to sea to fish at night and return to the dock in the early morning, where vendors and ordinary people come to buy their catch.
Gu Yuehuai did not dare to get close, but just watched from a distance, with a look of curiosity on his face. The seafood were all in the cabin, and some were moved to the dock. Fresh sea fish jumped out of the baskets, they were long and thin, and looked strange.
There were many boats docked at the pier, one of which was painted army green with the number "8" marked on it.
The boat was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate their group. Xu Chuangu was arranged to rest in the cabin since he got on board. A doctor in a white coat also accompanied him to keep an eye on Xu Chuangu's condition at any time.
Yan Shaoyu pulled Gu Yuehuai onto the boat and stood on the deck. Although it was dark, the starlight was shining, which created a unique artistic conception. Of course, it would have been better if Li Dongdong hadn't been making noise beside them.
"Shao Yu, can you tell me how you two met?"
"Yue Huai, do you have any sisters? Introduce one to me. I'm the chief's personal escort. I'm sure I'll make it big in the future. Follow me and you'll have a good life!"
"You two are going to have a wedding banquet? Where is it going to be held? Can you invite me to go?"
“…”
Along the way, Li Dongdong kept talking like a machine gun, without stopping at all.
Yan Shaoyu treated him as if he were air, pointed at the dark sea level, and talked to Gu Yuehuai about life on the island.
The island is cold and windy. It's not so bad in the summer, but it's very hard to bear in the winter. Moreover, resources are limited. There are not many warm cotton-padded jackets, and most of them are used by older soldiers.
However, life on the island is not entirely boring. There are mountains and seas. In their spare time, the comrades would go up the mountains in groups to trap rabbits and catch hedgehogs, or go down to the sea to catch fish and snails, as a way to improve their food.
Gu Yuehuai found what he heard interesting, and Mao'er's eyes were full of interest.
She was born inland, and this was the first time she saw the sea, whether in her previous life or this life. As for seafood such as conchs, shrimps and crabs, they were incredibly expensive in inland areas, but in Huaihai City, these were just common things.
At this moment, a strange cry suddenly sounded on the sea.
Gu Yuehuai was slightly startled and stood on tiptoe to look curiously. With the help of the fishing light on the boat, he could see a huge sea turtle beside the boat.
This sea turtle was as big as a washbasin, and it was struggling to slide its paddle-like limbs beside the boat. Gu Yuehuai was very curious at first, but after looking at it for a long time, he found that there was a large piece missing from the turtle's hind limb, and blood was flowing out.
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes and looked for a few seconds, then said, "The shark is eating the turtle."
"Shark?" Gu Yuehuai was slightly stunned. No matter how stupid she was, she knew how dangerous sharks were.
Li Dongdong pointed to the sea not far away and said, "Look, it's right there. When we go to the sea, we are most afraid of encountering this kind of tiger shark. It can bite a person to death with its mouth open. It's very scary!"
After saying that, he sighed softly: "It's a pity for this turtle. It's not easy for it to grow this big."
Gu Yuehuai looked at the triangular fish fin emerging from the sea and pursed his lips. The sea turtle was still raising its neck and calling. It was obviously just an animal, but Gu Yuehuai could see some despair in it as it wanted to try its best to survive but was helpless.
She suddenly felt that this sea turtle was a bit like herself in her previous life, and that tiger shark was Tian Jing.
