"Platoon Leader Gu, the deputy company commander is looking for you." Someone shouted from a distance.
"I'm here!" Gu Qinglie saw that his sister looked depressed, rubbed her drooping head, and said to the man in front of him: "Captain Chu, I have something else to do, how about you take my sister to the military family courtyard?"
Chu Dai put the cigarette on his fingertips back into his trouser pocket. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is your sister."
"We are brothers, so what's the difference between your sister and mine?" Gu Qinglie grinned, showing his big white teeth, which formed a sharp contrast with his skin color, and his two cute little canine teeth were exposed: "Your mother is my mother, and my sister is your sister, that's it."
After saying this, without waiting for Gu Qingqing to react, he pushed her directly to Chu Dai and quickly went to the camp.
After Yu Fugui brought Gu Qinglie here, he also took his wife and children away. Xu Nian also followed them to the family compound. Now, only she and Chu Dai were left here.
Gu Qingqing stood still and saw that the man in front of her didn't seem to want to send her off, so she rushed in front of him and said crisply, "Excuse me, brother."
As he spoke, he smiled brilliantly, with his big eyes curved into crescents.
Chu Dai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at her calmly, "Follow me."
"Hey~" Gu Qingqing smiled even sweeter.
She followed the tall and thin man, looking at his slender back, stepping on his shadow from time to time, and then looking up at the sky, the clouds, and him.
As long as we let her get closer, we will have the chance to make the move sooner or later!
Gu Qingqing thought.
The Corps' camps were all bungalows with simply whitewashed exterior walls and the surrounding land was neat and well-planned.
When she stepped on the shadow, she noticed that the land was not pure soil, but sandy loam mixed with fine sand.
As long as it's not completely sandy, growing vegetables should be possible... right?
She was absent-minded, walking forward with her head down, following the shadow of the man on the ground.
Chu Dai lowered his eyes. The fine sand kicked up by the girl behind him slid down his pants and into his shoes. He suddenly stopped.
Gu Qingqing was thinking about how to grow vegetables in the Corps. There was so much vacant land, it would be a pity not to use it, and they usually couldn't eat vegetables. Today she took a special look and found that all they bought from the market were potatoes, pumpkins and taro, but no green leafy vegetables.
She was thinking about how to help Uncle Yu solve the problem of the army having no vegetables to eat, and she didn't notice when the man in front of her stopped, and her head hit his broad and hard back with a "bang".
"Oh." She covered her head and looked at him blankly.
Chu Dai squatted down, untied his shoelaces and started tying them again, then stood up as if nothing had happened, "Let's go."
Gu Qingqing: “?”
She seemed to have been fooled!
Chu Dai did not go to the military hospital, but came to the health center first.
Zhao Ze was also wearing a green military uniform and a health soldier's armband on his arm.
"How's Yang Liye?" Chu Dai pulled out the chair opposite Zhao Ze and sat down with his legs raised.
Zhao Ze was writing a prescription, and he looked up at him through the lens, "Thanks to you for helping him, he didn't hurt anything vital, and he will be fine in half a month."
"Yes." Chu Dai rolled up his sleeves and said, "Help me deal with it."
Zhao Ze stood up suddenly and pushed his glasses up: "You are injured. Let me take a look."
"If I get a little skin broken, I'm afraid Lao Guan will find out and complain about me."
"The captain scolded you because you did something wrong." Zhao Ze took a quick look at the wound. It was indeed just a scratch, nothing serious. However, Chu Dai was born with fair skin, so he looked a little fierce and scary.
He felt relieved: "Did you get rubbed when you were pulling Yang Liye?"
"Yeah." Chu Dai glanced sideways at the girl who was standing aside and curiously watching the military doctors coming and going. When she saw the military doctors, she would greet them with a smile, but when she saw the wounded being carried in covered in blood, her little face suddenly turned pale.
"Okay," seeing that Zhao Ze was still taking his time to clean the wound, he casually picked up the small medicine bottle from the tray on the table, sprinkled the white medicine powder on the wound, snatched the gauze from the stunned Zhao Ze's hand without blinking, and wrapped himself twice.
He tied a knot casually, stood up and said, "Let's go."
Zhao Ze came back to his senses: "No, you have to use alcohol to reduce inflammation first, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Lao Guan is looking for me." Seeing that he was about to speak, Chu Dai added, "Sister-in-law is here, go and see her."
"Huh?"
Zhao Ze watched him walk out of the toilet with a girl, muttering, "...No, who is this girl? How come I haven't seen her before?"
"Xiao Meng, stay here. I'm going to the Military Family Courtyard. Your sister-in-law is here."
"Okay, Dr. Zhao, you go ahead."
Gu Qingqing followed the man, her mind full of the person lying on the stretcher covered in blood, and her heart was in turmoil.
When people in the village mentioned her elder and second brothers, they would describe them as promising. Grandpa and grandma were also very proud of these two grandsons, and she always thought that her elder and second brothers were very capable.
I never thought that my second brother was in the army and might get injured while going out to fight.
Chu Dai was tall and had long legs, so Gu Qingqing couldn't keep up with him. He slowed down his pace and waited for the girl behind him to catch up.
Gu Qingqing's eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head and walked forward silently.
Suddenly, the man's wrist wrapped in a white veil stood in front of her. Gu Qingqing looked up blankly, with crystal tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and she was about to fall.
Chu Dai sighed imperceptibly.
Girls are really too fragile and can't withstand the slightest disturbance.
The clenched fist slowly opened, revealing a White Rabbit candy in the man's fair palm.
"Don't be afraid."
His voice was low, because he hadn't rested, and it also sounded a bit lazy for some reason.
Gu Qingqing spoke cautiously, with a hint of hope in her eyes: "Is it for me?"
"Yeah." Chu Dai nodded slightly.
Gu Qingqing was delighted and took the candy from his palm. Her fingertips accidentally touched his hand and touched a layer of thin silk.
She held the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand, a little dazed.
"Let's go," Chu Dai took his hand back, "Sister."
Gu Qingqing: "..."
When she thought of Goudan’s words, “My sister is your sister,” she felt even more upset.
Chu Dai sent her to the military family compound, and Sun Shufen came to help her carry her things. There were many empty houses here, and apart from them, no one else came to visit their relatives. The conditions were too harsh and they could not stay.
The female soldiers from the art troupe who were on the same train with them were also relocated to the military compound, living in the southern rooms.
Sun Shufen took Gu Qingqing to the north room, opened the door, and pulled her in: "Qingqing, let me tell you, these are all one-room houses. The toilet and kitchen are shared outside. The room I picked for you has a good orientation. Take a look and see if you like it."
"Auntie, I'm not picky." Gu Qingqing held the candy in her hand and turned to look at the man standing at the door.
Chu Dai stood straight on one leg and leaned against the door with the other leg slightly bent. He folded his arms and leaned against the door frame with his back straight. His eyes met hers and he nodded lightly.
After a while, a soldier came over and saluted: "Report, Captain Chu, the regiment commander is looking for you."
Chu Dai: "..." He stood up straight, glanced at the two people who were talking happily in the room, and said, "I know."
Before pushing the door open and entering, Chu Dai adjusted the collar of his military cap and pulled his sleeves down to cover the white veil, then knocked on the door: "Report."
"Come in."
Guan Xun was looking at the troops' combat plan and ignored Chu Dai who was standing upright in front of the table.
Chu Dai looked straight ahead, his body stretched straight in a line, his palms pressed against the hems of his pants. Guan Xun didn't say anything, and he didn't say a word either.
After half an hour, Guan Xun couldn't hold it anymore and looked very upset: "You don't want to die in this battle, do you? You are alone and lure the enemy deep into our territory. If something happens to you, how the hell am I going to explain it to your father?"
Chu Dai breathed a sigh of relief and found a chair to sit down.
It’s not a big problem that Lao Guan can get angry and scold people.
"Uncle Guan." He pondered for a moment and was about to speak when Guan Xun interrupted him unhappily: "How dare I be your uncle? You are my ancestor."
"I have been leading soldiers all my life and I have never seen someone as reckless as you. My reputation has long been ruined by you. You are the only child of the Chu family and the only son of the old leader. Isn't this going to make others poke at my spine and scold me for not leaving any descendants for the Chu family?!"
Guan Xun spoke angrily, tapping the table with his fingers.
The soldiers standing guard outside the door heard the violent curses coming from inside, but they looked away and remained motionless.
"Uncle Guan, I was wrong." Chu Dai said decisively.
"..." Guan Xun stopped scolding in the middle of his words and slammed the report in his hand on the table: "You don't accept it?"
"No, you are right to scold me." Chu Dai's eyes were frank.
Guan Xun stared into his eyes for a while, and then he became deflated.
"I know your battle plan is correct. One person can hold back the enemy's main force and buy time for reinforcements."
Chu Dai was known for his ferocity in battle, and his enemies had long hated him to the core.
Seeing that there was a chance to capture him alive, they naturally spared no effort.
What angered Guan Xun was not his arrogance, but the fact that he did not take his own life seriously.
He had followed Chu Dai's father in battles since he was fourteen. In recent years, the country has been stable and he finally had a few days of relaxation. However, this brat did not stay in the southern military region, but insisted on coming to the Construction Corps. Away from his father's supervision, he became more and more unscrupulous.
He rushed forward recklessly in battle, and he didn't dare to report to his old commander about the bullets he had been hit by in the past two years. He almost died several times.
These are all kept secret.
He sighed quietly, stood up and walked to Chu Dai, looked at the boy's increasingly determined and thin face, raised his hand, and finally gently placed it on his shoulder.
"Adai, you are the only child left in your Chu family."
Chu Dai felt heavy in his heart, thinking of his uncles and cousins who had died in battles over the past few years. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes as cold and lonely as a sharp sword drawn from its sheath: "I will not retreat until my country is at peace."
The words Guan Xun wanted to persuade him were stuck in his throat. He knew the boy's temper well and he would stick to his word.
It's probably not feasible to persuade him to retire from the army, go home and have children to leave a descendant for the Chu family. The Chu family is loyal and brave. They have been fighting with neighboring countries since the old leader's generation until now. This kid has the blood of the Chu family in his bones and is born to be a soldier.
Guan Xun stood beside him, holding his shoulder with his hand, and sighed: "Are you hurt? Let me take a look."
