Shi also left the cafeteria and was not in a hurry to return to the dormitory. Instead, he walked around the Northwest Frontier Defense Corps.
The training ground was tightly surrounded by barbed wire. The soldiers in combat uniforms were agile and in uniform. The facilities on the training ground were arranged in an orderly manner. The recruits lay on the ground, climbed over obstacle walls, and sweated. Bullets whistled in the shooting range, bringing impact and shock as they penetrated the targets. Shi also watched for a moment, feeling a deep respect for these soldiers who had forged the steel backbone of the country.
Somehow, I thought of Xiao Yue. As an officer, he was outstanding, but unfortunately, he had a bad fate.
Shiye frowned slightly, he had to change this mood that always felt pity for Xiao Yue.
When we left the shooting range and were about to return to the educated youth site, we suddenly saw military vehicles lined up in an orderly manner, ready to go.
Shi also looked at it curiously, wondering what big thing was going to happen.
In a moment, a team in combat uniforms gathered in front of the car. Their faces were painted with camouflage, revealing a pair of determined eyes. They stood tall and carried a half-person-high bag on their backs, which contained dry food, ammunition and other items.
At this time, the commander walked through the crowd and came to the front. He looked at everyone with a stern look in his eyes. His clean and low voice cut through the air, revealing a solemn tone: "This mine-clearing mission is arduous. Everyone must stay alert and work together!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
Makiya's pupils shrank and he looked at the tall and graceful officer in front of the crowd.
He stood alone in front, his mountain-like back didn't shake at all, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were cold and indifferent, quiet and cool. After giving his instructions, he swept his eyes over the soldiers and said softly, "Come back alive, all of you."
Others only thought that these words contained some wishes, but in fact, Shi also knew that it was a prayer.
Mine-sweeping mission. She really didn't expect that when she was about to leave the northwest, Xiao Yue would accept this mission that put him to death in his previous life. His words seemed to echo in her ears: "Everyone... sacrifice."
Shi also frowned. Is fate irreversible? Xiao Yue was clearly prepared, so why did he still go on a mission? Was it because of her "betrayal" that he felt so sad that he decided to die early and be reborn?
Shi was feeling annoyed. When he looked up, his eyes met Xiao Yue's through the crowd.
His eyes were deep, as if covered by a thick mist. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze indifferently.
"Let's go--" His voice was clear and penetrating. As soon as he finished speaking, he got into the car.
The soldiers responded and filed in, moving quickly and efficiently.
The engines of military vehicles roared as they drove out of the camp one after another. Their wheels rolled and quickly disappeared from Makiya's sight.
She looked at the receding convoy, pursed her lips, and her eyes grew colder.
Xiao Yue would not seek death if he were to live again. It should be that someone in the barracks has already started to act. He is a soldier and can only follow orders and go to the battle. Rather than being plotted against, he might as well face the challenge and live towards death.
"Xiao Yue, I hope you are safe." Shiye's red lips moved as she slowly uttered these words.
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind: "Why didn't you say it in front of him? Are you going to say it now?"
Shi also frowned, turned around and looked at Bao Qing, and said unhappily: "The Hurricane Battalion is on a mission, and you're not going? You have time to eavesdrop on me here, why not drive after them? According to the time, you should be able to catch up with them."
Bao Qing smiled, and this time his expression didn't look as annoying as before: "You don't have to tell me, I already have a plan."
Shi also turned and left, without planning to have a long conversation with Bao Qing before leaving.
She took a few steps and heard Bao Qingji's serious voice behind her, with some sincerity.
"Comrade Shiye, Xiao Yue is serious. He asked me to apologize to you for what happened in the past."
"Go back to Yandu, don't date anyone, don't get married, wait for Lao Xiao, he will come back."
After saying that, Bao Qing strode away. Judging from the direction, he was really going to chase the combat troops as Shi Ye said.
"Sorry?" Shi Ye paused, glanced at Bao Qing, and shook his head: "If Xiao Yue could say sorry, it would be a miracle. Bao Qing is really a 'good girlfriend'. She didn't forget to say good things to Xiao Yue before leaving."
Shi also returned to the educated youth point, picked up the application report, and went to the infirmary.
Li Xiu Lian was undergoing surgery, so she didn't wait and gave the application report to Qin Zhenzhen and prepared to leave.
"Comrade Shiye, I wish you a safe journey." Qin Zhenzhen said softly, as if it was a sincere blessing.
Shi Ye felt a little annoyed. She was already worried about the mission and what the "little surprise" would be during the journey. She felt that Qin Zhenzhen's words were not a good sign. She waved her hand and hurriedly left the infirmary.
"It seems that she really hates me." Qin Zhenzhen laughed at herself and shook her head.
As soon as Shi came out of the infirmary, he saw Zhou Yunxiao waiting outside.
She was thin, shivering in the cold wind with her arms folded. When she saw Shiya, her eyes turned red. She rushed over and hugged her, choking with sobs, "Xiaoya, can you not leave? I know it's selfish of me to say this, but I can't bear to let you go. You just got here, why are you leaving? Don't you like my brother? You are engaged!"
As Zhou Yunxiao spoke, tears began to fall. If she hadn't run into her elder brother who had taken leave when she returned home, she wouldn't have known about it.
"Xiao Ye, my brother likes you very much, can you give him a chance? You don't know, that Mao Lin, was brought back by my brother to piss off my mom, she's not his real girlfriend! He has never had a girlfriend in his life! Really!"
"And my mom! My mom likes you too. If you marry into our family, you won't have to work. I'll do it!"
"Xiao Ye, there is still me. I can't bear to leave you. Can you not leave?"
Listening to Zhou Yunxiao's heartfelt words, Shi also felt that this "sister-in-law" was really hard to find even with a lantern.
However, no one could keep her here.
Shiye left Zhou Yunxiao's embrace, wiped the tears from her face with his hands, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, everyone has their own life. I want to leave, I want to go back to Yandu, this is my choice, you will respect me, right?"
*
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yunxiao, he returned to the educated youth point and looked at the things he had sorted out. Shi felt a little complicated.
She had just arrived in the Northwest not long ago, but she had to leave again. Not only her, but Xiao Yue also had to follow his own trajectory and carry out mine-sweeping missions. If he was not careful, he might not be able to come back. She seemed to have changed something, but also seemed to have changed nothing.
In the evening, the educated youth who shared the dormitory came back and congratulated Shiye with different feelings.
They were about to part, and there would probably be no chance to see each other again in the future. Even roommates like Wang Panpan and Wang Qi, who had argued with Shiye before, had tears in their eyes. That night, everyone took out their remaining "stock" and held a last dinner as a farewell party for Shiye, who was leaving tomorrow. Shiye was not stingy and took out all the candies and distributed them to everyone.
It was the last dinner that really made Shi realize the subtle revolutionary feelings among the educated youth.
The next day, when everyone was still asleep, Shi prepared to leave the dormitory with a small bag on his back.
When I got out of bed, I suddenly heard Lin Wan's malicious voice: "Shiye, I hope you have a smooth journey."
Hearing this, Shi frowned and stepped back up on a stool. Looking at Lin Wan who was pretending to sleep, he said, "You know what? I wanted to tell you the first time we met. I have been concerned about our comradeship and have been lying to you and comforting you. Now that I am leaving, I am not afraid of offending anyone."
"Lin Wan, listen carefully."
"You are such a narrow-minded, gloomy and incompetent person. If Xiao Yue likes you, he must be blind!"
