Thinking that his idol was so close, Fang Shijie suppressed his excitement and pulled Lu Zhiye towards Wen Shize.
Wen Shize did not personally check their letters of introduction or anything like that today. Instead, he stood at the door and looked around at the group of militiamen.
To be precise, it was Lu Zhiye who was being pulled by Fang Shijie.
Tsk tsk tsk, although this young man has a strong physique and the way he walks shows that he is a well-trained fighter, his aura is comparable to that of several outstanding soldiers under his command.
But he just couldn't stand him no matter what, even though he was obviously an outstanding person.
If such a person stayed in the army, he would only try his best to promote him and would not have the complicated feelings he has today.
Ignoring the surprise of the militiamen around him, Fang Shijie smiled and approached Wen Shize: "Brother Ze, I didn't expect you to fall here."
Wen Shize's voice was mellow and magnetic, and he said in a neutral tone, "Well, I didn't expect you to go to such a remote place to be an educated youth."
Fang Shijie's face froze. He could still vividly remember what he had once shouted in front of Wen Shize, saying that he would definitely defend the motherland in the future.
He smiled awkwardly and muttered, "I didn't expect that either."
Lu Zhiye's gaze was now completely fixed on Wen Shize. The man in front of him had eyebrows like distant mountains, a high nose bridge, and a pair of black and bright eyes, but when he looked at him, he gave people a slight sense of oppression.
He also noticed that this person seemed to dislike him vaguely, and he sneered in his heart: Tsk, who cares about you liking him!
By the time everyone had relieved themselves of their fatigue and finished their meal in the army, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Wang Da couldn't hold on any longer and asked everyone to go and rest. When people are tired, their snoring is so loud that it is deafening.
The various snoring sounds made Fang Shijie look up at the sky speechless. After thinking again and again, he finally picked up his shoes and walked out.
The people outside were still unloading the truck, shirtless and panting, but there was joy on everyone's face.
Wen Shize stood in his office, looked up at the sneaky man outside, and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing!
There was a knock on the door, and he said coldly, "Come in."
Fang Shijie walked in cautiously and looked at Wen Shize with some trepidation: "Brother Ze."
Wen Shize nodded and kept turning the pen in his hand: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The Fang family kept the fact that Fang Shijie went to the countryside a secret, and even he only recently found out that Fang Shijie had left the army.
Fang Shijie lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, not knowing where to start talking about this matter.
The only sound in the office was the "tat tat tat" of Wen Shize turning his pen.
Fang Shijie's grandfather's family and Wen Shize's family are neighbors. Since childhood, Fang Shijie did not even admire his older brother who was a soldier, and just looked at Wen Shize with shining eyes.
He even followed Wen Shize's footsteps and joined the army at the age of fourteen.
Now that his idol was right in front of him, Fang Shijie couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
“When I was on a mission, a dozen rebels held a group of villagers hostage.
They were carrying important experimental data, and their superiors required them to bring these back.
Seeing the rebel leader holding a man hostage and about to leave the country, I…"
Fang Shijie's hands were shaking uncontrollably. In his dreams at midnight, the image of the villager with his eyes wide open until his death kept appearing in his mind.
"You shot and killed the robber? The robber used the villagers to block the gun?"
Without much thought, Wen Shize could guess the general situation.
Fang Shijie put his hands into his hair and let out a few whimpering sounds.
Because of this incident, although he finally killed the rebel and successfully retrieved the experimental data.
But it is a fact that he accidentally killed the villagers, and this matter cannot be blamed on him.
But all the villagers in that village belonged to the same family. They were dissatisfied with the compensation given by the army and made a scene.
However, the people who were carrying out the mission with him said, "There was obviously a better solution, and it was Fang Shijie's impatience that led to this incident."
Fang Shijie himself did not think he had done anything wrong. Sacrificing for the motherland was what he had been taught since childhood.
After checking other solutions, the troops finally concluded that he was wrong.
Later, the eldest brother talked to him for a long time all night and pointed out the shortcomings in his character.
Fang Shijie was always dissatisfied and felt that his solution was quick and effective.
It was not until the incident in Dayu Village that Fang Shijie fully understood the importance of an adult labor force to a family in the village.
He accidentally killed not only a person, but also the hope of an orphan and a widow.
Wen Shize paused while turning the pen, looked out the window, and said in a low voice: "Shijie, for a soldier, serving the people and sacrificing for the motherland is an unshirkable mission.
We receive subsidies from the state and accept our beliefs as a matter of course.
For our people, a bowl of rice, a bed and a house are the driving force of their lives.
We cannot place our mission on their shoulders as well.
Why do we defend our country? It is so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment and move towards a better communist life.
I've read your case. There are no troops from other countries stationed nearby. As long as the rebels step out of the border, they will subconsciously relax their vigilance.
That’s when we’ll strike.”
These rebels were as familiar with the border convention as they were, and once they arrived outside the border, it would not be so easy for them to start shooting.
However, Wen Shize could also understand Fang Shijie's actions at that time. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old. If he were five or six years younger, he would have shot without hesitation.
It's just that I know how to find a good angle so as not to hurt anyone by mistake.
Fang Shijie didn't take his elder brother's analysis to heart, but Wen Shize's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Fang Shijie's heart hard.
This made him, a tall and strong man, unable to hold back his guilt and sadness any longer and he burst into tears.
The office was filled with the sound of his constant sobbing and hiccups, which made Wen Shize swallow back the words of comfort he wanted to say.
Never mind, let him cry for a while.
I don’t know how long it was after, but the person who came to the door to report the mission heard the noise inside and was shocked. Could it be that someone failed to complete the mission and was scolded by the battalion commander and cried?
Oh my God, I can’t afford to get into trouble at this time.
He ran out quickly. The mission was accomplished anyway, and the report would be completed tomorrow as well!
Finally, Fang Shijie calmed down. After crying for a long time, he felt a little relieved.
Wen Shize finally asked his own question: "How is the person who followed you today?"
When Fang Shijie heard Wen Shize asking about Lu Zhiye, he quickly gathered his broken heart and started praising Lu Zhiye.
I heard him say that Lu Zhiye is very reliable and an honest man.
Wen Shize frowned subconsciously, his intuition told him that this man was not like that.
