Dad kidnapped me to join the army, and the whole army asked me to be their instructor.

Day after day the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, and the sun rose and set.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

At noon that day, Lin Hui was lying on the ground with a weight on his back, doing push-ups vigorously.

His clothes were already soaked, and there was a human figure dripping from the sweat on the ground.

"1998.1999.2000..."

Lin Hui was breathing heavily, but his movements were getting faster and faster, with no intention of stopping.

"Lin Hui, it's time to eat!"

The squad leader's voice suddenly came from the distance.

"coming!"

Lin Hui got up from the ground and ran towards the outpost

As soon as he entered the room, the veterans gathered around him enthusiastically and helped him take off his equipment: "Hurry up and eat, don't be tired!"

"You do this day after day, and the amount of training is too scary. It makes me feel scary just looking at you!"

"Hey, this backpack is so heavy? How many stones did you put in it?"

Lin Hui chuckled and said, "Not much, just forty kilograms."

The veterans' chins hit the ground directly: "I'll go! Forty kilograms is not much, crazy, crazy, really crazy!"

Wei Yongnian handed over the chopsticks: "Eat quickly, we have all eaten, and you are the only one left."

Lin Hui said with a smile: "Thank you, monitor, I'm really hungry."

Seeing Lin Hui devouring his food, Wei Yongnian poured him a glass of water: "Eat slowly, there is still not enough. After you finish eating, take a short rest. Don't think about training all the time. Doesn't your body want it?"

"It's okay monitor, I'm not tired."

For half a month.

Lin Hui does a lot of training every day.

In order to increase the difficulty, he will wear weights no matter what training he does.

There is nothing else on the island, but there are a lot of rocks.

With Lin Hui's current physical fitness, even if he is carrying a weight of forty or fifty kilograms, he can still walk quickly.

Under his crazy training, various abilities have improved linearly, and he has already outperformed these veterans!

The only regret is that there is no way to conduct live-fire training.

Although there are guns on the island, there are not many bullets. Every time you shoot, you lose one.

Lin Hui could only practice aiming day after day to find the feeling of shooting.

However, even he himself doesn't know what his current shooting skills are like.

"Eat vegetables, eat more vegetables."

Wei Yongnian put several pieces of beef into the bowl for him.

Lin Hui looked at the small mountain piled up in the bowl and said with a wry smile: "Squad leader, we can't keep the pile anymore."

"If you can't pile it up, eat slowly. Training is so hard, how can you do it without nutrition?"

Wei Yongnian smiled and said, "Don't train tonight, have a good rest. I'll take you to the division headquarters early tomorrow morning."

Lin Hui was startled: "The competition is about to begin?"

Wei Yongnian smiled and nodded: "Yes, the company just issued an order. Let me send people over tomorrow to prepare for the division-wide competition the day after tomorrow."

Wu Meng quickly said: "Lin Hui, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it. As long as you get the ranking, you can leave here!"

"But... I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

Lin Hui stopped suddenly.

Through this time together, he fell deeply in love with this place.

The squad leader's concern and the veterans' love have become everything to him.

Moreover, he has already left home once, and he knows the pain of separation, the feeling, like tearing a piece of flesh from the body...

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's so good about us? A place as big as a palm can be covered with just one cigarette."

Wu Meng said seriously: "You are very good. You should go out and have a look and feel what it means to have an army of thousands and what it means to be an army of millions! Only in this way can you become a real soldier and the best soldier!"

"But what if I don't get the ranking?"

Lin Hui blinked and asked.

The veterans looked at each other and laughed: "It's not necessarily true if others go, but if you go, it's guaranteed! We can guarantee that the champion of this competition will be you!"

Wei Yongnian also smiled and patted him: "Lin Hui, modesty is your biggest fault. We have all seen it during this period. You are a big man. You can walk as fast as you can with a [-] kilogram load on your back. I After being a veteran for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen it.”

"I feel so wronged for you to stay here. This may be your stopping point on the way, but it will definitely not be your destination. You should fly further."

Lin Hui was a little reluctant: "Squad leader, I'm leaving, what will you do?"

Wei Yongnian laughed and said: "The camp is made of iron, and the soldiers are flowing. Over the years, I don't know how many people have left and gone. Why, you think that if you leave, we won't be able to eat or sleep." Or will the earth stop spinning?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Lin Hui quickly shook his head.

Wei Yongnian said sincerely: "Lin Hui, I hope you won't come back after you go this time. You are a good soldier and deserve to go to a better place. This is not your stage, your stage is outside!"

Lin Hui looked at everyone's expectant eyes and felt a warmth in his heart.

He couldn't bear to leave here, but he also didn't want to live up to the expectations of the veterans.

Now, he is no longer the soldier he used to be who always thought about dawdling.

He didn't want to become good just to compete with Wang Yixue.

In the past, Lin Hui always felt that he was forced by his father to move forward and explore the meaning of being a soldier.

But now, after experiencing so much, he has his own ideas.

He has to go to a wider place to find his future!

Lin Hui nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will never let you down!"

……

In the evening, the veterans helped Lin Hui pack his luggage.

In addition to a change of clothes, there was also a lot of food stuffed in the bag.

Eggs, ham, and canned meat are things they usually can't bear to eat...

"Lin Hui, you are leaving, and I want to give you something as a souvenir."

Wu Meng took out a pentagonal stone: "I picked this up at the beach. Although it is just an ordinary stone, I have always worn it as an amulet. Now I give it to you, hoping that it will bring you happiness." Come for good luck."

Lin Hui held the stone in his hand and said movedly: "Thank you, Wu Meng."

Wu Meng smiled, gave him a hug, and patted him on the back: "When you go to a new place, don't forget us."

"Definitely not."

Then, Liu Shan came up with a conch: "Lin Hui, this is for you."

"I can't."

Lin Hui quickly shook his head.

During his stay on the island, he saw Liu Shan sitting alone on a stone on the shore several times, blowing conches and looking at the sea.

He usually wraps this thing in cloth and puts it in the cabinet.

Last time Zou Peng wanted to take it out for fun, he was almost anxious.

This is enough to show how precious this thing is to him.

Liu Shan pushed something into his hand: "Take it if you are told! After all, we are also fellow villagers. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me!"

Lin Hui had no choice but to hold it first.

Liu Shan looked at him and said: "This conch was picked up when I came to the island on the first day. Although conchs are very common on the island, the sound they make is the most pleasant and pleasant."

"Now, I want to give it to you. I hope that no matter where you go in the future, as long as you blow it, you will think of the sea, Crescent Island, and us."

Lin Hui looked at the conch in his hand, his nose suddenly sore: "Thank you, Liu Shan, I hope we can meet again in the future!"

"Definitely. By then, I might have been admitted to the military academy."

The veterans gave gifts in turn.

Although they are not valuable things, each one is very memorable.

Lin Hui will also treasure it for the rest of his life.

Finally, Wei Yongnian walked up to Lin Hui, took off the watch from his hand, and put it on his hand.

"Monitor, this is too expensive, I can't have it!"

Lin Hui wanted to retract his arm, but was held back by the squad leader: "It's just an old watch, not a valuable thing."

"Lin Hui, you are the best soldier I have ever led, and you may also be the last soldier!" He touched the old watch and said with a smile: "I have been wearing this watch all these years, sunrise and sunset. , I rely on it every day when I stand guard and when I take a rest.”

"Although it moves a little slower and makes a little louder noise, I still hope you can accept it and keep it in mind. Don't dislike it."

"Squad leader..."

Lin Hui looked at the old watch in his hand and couldn't stop crying.

He went up and hugged the squad leader, holding him tightly.

In the past, he always felt that he was a heartless person who didn't know what crying was.

But since the troops arrived, this was the second time he cried...

Wei Yongnian wiped his face: "Why are you crying? Just like a child, wipe it quickly."

Lin Hui wiped his tears with his sleeve: "Squad leader, if I have the chance, I will definitely come back to see you! I promise!"

"okay!"

Everyone smiled happily.

……

Early the next day.

At dawn, Lin Hui followed the squad leader and left the post.

When he arrived at the shore, the veterans were already lined up in a row, waiting for him in the cold wind.

"salute!"

With a loud roar, all the veterans raised their chests and saluted him.

Lin Hui was shocked!

This is how the veterans greeted him when he first arrived.

Now that he is leaving, they say goodbye in the same way.

Lin Hui put down his luggage, with red eyes, and returned the favor vigorously: "Thank you, thank you!"

The veterans smiled and said: "Lin Hui, take care of yourself, eat on time, go to bed on time, don't be too tired!"

A warm current surged in Lin Hui's heart.

He nodded with tears in his eyes and got on the boat to leave.

Looking at the island gradually receding behind him, his heart felt like it was on fire.

Once again, he left a place that he loved deeply and was as warm as home.

……

Two hours later, the ship finally approached the port.

On the shore, the company commander and instructor from the border area were already waiting.

"Hello, company commander, hello instructor!"

Wei Yongnian took Lin Hui up to salute.

The instructor stared at Lin Hui and frowned: "Old Wei, what's going on? Didn't you agree to let Wu Meng come before? Why did you suddenly change the person?"

Wei Yongnian chuckled and said: "Wu Meng won't come, let him come!"

"Bullshit!"

The company commander said angrily: "I can't replace him with a bastard who beats veterans!"

The company commander glared at Wei Yongnian: "Wei Yongnian, you have been a veteran for 15 years, why don't you understand anything? For such an important game, you, just send a recruit, you are still..."

"What do you want me to say about you?"

Wei Yongnian smiled awkwardly and whispered: "Company Commander, just trust me for a moment. This guy is very powerful. He can definitely do it!"

The company commander yelled angrily: "What the hell! Send me back quickly!"
