"Dad, you're so thoughtful." Ding Weiwei raised an eyebrow at Li Shengli. "I told Dad about that. If Sister Yuzhu hadn't intervened that night, not only would I not be able to dance anymore, I'd probably become a cripple."
"That's right, it's only right to give it to my sister-in-law." Li Shengli helplessly spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that they haven't come back yet. I've been looking forward to seeing our battalion commander."
Ding Weiwei said, "My dad will be here for several days anyway, he can wait!"
Li Shengli agreed, but of course he couldn't take a break, so he quickly washed the cups and poured tea.
He also brought up two bottles of hot water from the service desk on the first floor.
After dinner, I accompanied Ding's father for a walk around the army, and then we were able to return to the military dormitory.
When he met Zhang Yuejin on the road, he saluted: "Captain."
"Oh, that Zhentang called and said they will be back to the team a day later."
Zhang Yuejin was busy with other things, so he left in a hurry after he finished speaking.
What?
Li Shengli was stunned!
Oh my brother, please come back soon, come back and save him!!!
"Look at my brain." After wailing, he remembered that he didn't know whether Xiao Hei had come back.
Li Shengli quickly left the dormitory area and went directly to the military family area.
Arriving at the courtyard, he searched inside and outside but couldn't find Xiao Hei. He hurried to the military gate and asked the sentry, "Have you seen Xiao Hei come back?"
The sentry, who hadn't changed his post and was the same one from a few hours ago, replied, "Instructor, no."
"Strange, I'll go look for it."
When Li Shengli walked out of the military district gate and went up the mountain, the sky began to darken.
The light in the forest was already as dark as the daylight, but as a soldier with extraordinary courage, he continued to search forward with a flashlight.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei!"
After crossing two hills, the calls of strange birds and occasional rustling sounds could be heard from the woods.
"Xiao Hei."
There was a rapid rustling sound, and Li Shengli hurriedly shone the flashlight in that direction.
He was shocked by what he saw. He thought it might be a wild animal, but he didn't expect it to be a pair of cold eyes.
Half of the other person's body was hidden behind the woods, and his cold eyes were icy in the flashlight.
Wolf?
Only a wolf could have such scary eyes. Li Shengli immediately became alert.
I knew there were wolves in the forest, but I didn't expect to be so unlucky as to encounter one when I went out so late at night.
In a hurry, he quickly took out the dagger from his waist, and then slowly backed away...
Li Shengli knew that it was extremely stupid to fight a wolf in the forest, as the time and place were very unfavorable to him.
The only way now is to run and hope that the wolf doesn't catch up.
After making up his mind, he took a few steps back and realized that the wolf had no intention of catching up. Li Shengli immediately turned around and ran...
After a frantic run, in the blink of an eye, the human figure and the flashlight light disappeared at the end of the forest.
Xiao Hei, who was standing there, was full of questions: "..."
Aren't you here to find it?
Why did it run away when you saw it?
Xiao Hei looked back behind him in confusion and bewilderment, but there was nothing there. This forest had long become its territory.
So what is the host's friend afraid of?
Forget it, go back to sleep!
Xiao Hei lay quietly on the soft dry grass. His owner had not been home for some time.
It was very lonely and had come to like sleeping in the forest at night with the little animals.
So, go to sleep!
…
Li Shengli rushed all the way into the military area.
Oh my god, he was running so hard that he was out of breath.
Pointing behind him, he warned the sentry: "Be careful, there are wolves on the opposite mountain."
The sentry saluted: "Yes."
"By the way, if you see Xiao Hei coming back later, please call the military dormitory and let me know."
"yes."
But Li Shengli returned to the military dormitory and waited for more than an hour but did not receive any news. Later, he went to Shi Zhentang's home in the military family area to check in person, but still did not see Xiao Hei.
It’s over!
Li Shengli stroked his forehead in annoyance. This time he was in trouble.
Xiao Hei must have been eaten by the wolf when he went into the mountains. How would he explain this to his sister-in-law and her husband?
With such tormented thoughts, Li Shengli finally waited until dawn and hurried up the mountain again, but still did not find Xiao Hei.
He didn't even find a single hair of the dog, and his heart became even more nervous.
It seems that what he worried about came true.
"Hello, Instructor Li!"
I was just about to cross the road when I came down the mountain in a depressed mood, and a bus stopped in front of me.
Qin Xu's elegant smiling face appeared in the car window: "Instructor Li, where are you going? If you are going to the county town, come with us!"
"Uh, I'm not going, thank you." Li Shengli came to his senses and declined politely, asking politely, "Going to the county town to do some business?"
"We are going directly to the provincial capital. Today, Comrade Tian Yuzhu took the train back to the provincial capital from her hometown, just in time for our ethnic costume photo shoot. We are going to meet up with her."
"Yeah?"
Li Shengli had heard about this from Shi Zhentang. The last time he went to take photos, the photos were not taken because the costumes were wrong.
His focus now is that it’s over, his sister-in-law and the others are back.
However, this thought was quickly suppressed. He had to face what he had to face no matter what.
At the same time, you must do what you should do.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "You guys go first, I'll go back and drive to pick them up, we have an appointment."
Hearing that he also had to go to the provincial capital to pick up Tian Yuzhu and the others, Qin Xu didn't know what to say.
The treatment of military dependents in the army is definitely different, not to mention that Tian Yuzhu's husband is the battalion commander.
He nodded: "Okay, let's go first."
Li Shengli waved his hand and hurried back to the army to drive.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the military area, I met Ding Weiwei and her daughter who were out for a walk. They had just finished breakfast.
"Shengli, where are you going in such a hurry?" Ding Weiwei saw him with her sharp eyes and said, "Have you had breakfast? We made you some buns."
"No, no, Uncle Ding, I'm sorry I can't accompany you today. I have to go to the provincial capital to pick up our battalion commander."
I don’t have to accompany Dad Ding today. He won’t have a day off tomorrow, so I can’t accompany him even if I want to. Then I’ll be free.
Father Ding narrowed his eyes after hearing this and asked, "Is he Comrade Tian Yuzhu's man?"
"Yes, that's the couple. They're back from their hometown. My sister-in-law is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to take the bus, so I have to go pick her up."
"Okay, okay, we have to go pick her up. Let Weiwei go with you. She's free anyway."
"Uh, no, it would take several hours to go back and forth, and it's inconvenient for her with her leg injury..."
"It's convenient for me. Who says it's not convenient for me?" Ding Weiwei was delighted. "I've been so bored in the dormitory lately. It's great to go to the provincial capital. I can finally go out for a walk."
Li Shengli said, "Don't you have to accompany Uncle Ding?"
But Dad Ding shook his hand and said, "No need. I just want to take a walk. You guys go ahead and have fun."
