He Tingjun immediately retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, you can definitely go back. The money you saved for your sister, of course you have to hand it over to her in person."
"Give it to her personally?" Qin Zheng said with a wry smile, "I don't know if I'll ever have this chance again in my lifetime."
He Tingjun had also heard about Qin Zheng's family affairs. He knew that his only sister was abducted by human traffickers when she was just born.
Hearing him say this, I felt very sad: "Brother Qin, don't be so pessimistic. Good things will be rewarded. You will definitely find your sister in this life."
"I'm a good person?" Qin Zheng shook his head. "I'm not a good person at all. Before my sister was born, I was a notorious jerk in our area. If I didn't have a good father who was an official, I would have been put in a sack and beaten to death long ago."
"When my sister was born, I was still hanging out with a bunch of bad friends."
"I'm an asshole."
"If I had been more obedient at that time, my sister wouldn't have been lost."
Qin Zheng raised his head, and his pair of black eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, were now glistening with tears, reflecting the light under the moonlight.
There were messy footsteps on the ice in the distance, and an enemy was approaching.
He Tingjun reminded: "Someone is coming."
Qin Zheng raised his hand to wipe away his tears, picked up the machine gun, and was still the calm Captain Qin.
"Tingjun, remember what I said. If I can't go back, the money in that passbook and the pension after my death will be left to my sister. As long as my sister can't find it, no one else is allowed to touch this money."
"If you can get back safely, I'll treat you to a drink. We won't leave until we're drunk."
As Qin Zheng finished speaking, dense gunfire suddenly rang out.
Before He Tingjun could answer, he started firing back.
The enemy's fierce firepower left He Tingjun and Qin Zheng with almost no power to fight back.
Qin Zheng dragged his injured leg and fought back sideways. At this moment, He Tingjun's eyes fixed, and he suddenly stood up and threw him to the ground: "Be careful!"
The next second, an explosion sounded less than a meter away from the two of them.
There was a loud bang, accompanied by billowing smoke and flying shrapnel.
A second before he lost consciousness, countless images flashed through He Tingjun's mind, and the last one was the girl's fair face.
Her eyebrows and eyes were curved like a crescent moon, and she smiled as if calling him, "Brother He."
"Tingjun? Tingjun?" Qin Zheng called his name anxiously, but the person lying on him did not give him any response.
Qin Zheng was completely protected by He Tingjun and was fortunately not hurt by the shock wave of the explosion. He was conscious and therefore extremely desperate.
He could already hear the enemy tanks driving onto the island, their tracks making a crunching sound as they crushed the ice and snow-covered ground.
“Boom!”
"Bang!"
Violent explosions rang out one after another. It was the anti-tank mines they had buried in advance that exploded.
The tank broke down halfway, and Qin Zheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation. He dragged his injured body and transferred the unconscious He Tingjun to the trench.
As time passed, the night began to fade away, and the dark night sky gradually turned a layer of dark blue.
Qin Zheng waited with bloodshot eyes until daylight began to fade, and finally heard the loud sound of a military bugle call behind him.
Reinforcements are arriving.
