Early the next morning.

Just as the sky was getting light, a quick whistle suddenly sounded outside.

"What's going on?"

Lin Hui sat up from the bed reflexively.

He had never heard a whistle since he left the recruit company.

Although the breeding base had to get up early to work, it was always the squad leader Lao Ma who came to call him.

"What's the emergency so early in the morning? Why blow the assembly whistle?"

Lin Hui was a little speechless, but he quickly put on his clothes and ran out.

As soon as he came outside, the veterans had already gathered and stood.

"Lin Hui, you stand at the end."

"Yes!"

Lin Hui quickly stood at the end and stood.

Wei Yongnian said loudly: "Now, start counting!"

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

The veterans spoke loudly and with full energy.

After Lin Hui shouted the last number, he was full of confusion.

What on earth are they going to do?

There are only a few people in total. Are they still training? It's impossible!

Wei Yongnian looked at everyone: "Now let's start the exercise, five kilometers, turn right...!"

Lin Hui was dumbfounded: Are they really training?

How can they run five kilometers in such a small place? Are they going to run in the sea?

But soon, he understood that they were running around the island.

It's about 800 meters to run around the island. Running six laps is basically five kilometers!

The veterans ran very seriously, and no one whispered to each other during the whole process.

Lin Hui was still very relaxed following the team.

With his current physical strength, none of these veterans can fight.

But he really couldn't figure it out. There was no one else on the island. Who would he show this to?

...

After running five kilometers and having breakfast.

Wei Yongnian took everyone back to the dormitory and started to tidy up the housework.

He looked at everyone and said seriously: "Now, start to tidy up your house!"

"We believe that good housekeeping standards are a reflection of the good style of soldiers. The quilts should be square and angular, so that mosquitoes can slip on them and flies can do splits on them..."

The veterans quickly ran to their beds and began to fold their quilts.

Lin Hui stood aside and watched, even wondering if he had returned to the recruit company again?

"What's wrong? Have you been to the breeding base for too long and forgot how to tidy up your house? Wait, I'll help you when I'm done."

Wei Yongnian raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

Lin Hui waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, I can do it myself."

"If you have something to say, don't be embarrassed, we are all family."

As soon as Lin Hui turned around and went back to the house, he heard the hearty laughter of the veterans.

Looking at the messy quilt on the bed, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

A place the size of a palm can be used up with a cigarette.

Is it really necessary to be so self-disciplined?

Obviously, no one is watching and no one cares, so even if you slack off, no one will know.

After a day of training, Lin Hui was completely speechless.

In a place like this, it is better to drink tea and fish than to train.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the news broadcast is about to begin.

Everyone sat in front of the TV under the leadership of the squad leader.

"Squad leader, it seems that there is no signal?"

An old soldier patted the TV, which was full of snow.

"Listen to the radio."

"Okay!"

The old soldier took out a radio from the cabinet, plugged it in, and soon there was a sound from it.

Lin Hui was stunned. This was the first time he had seen someone listen to the news like this.

Wei Yongnian said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, this is how we are here, the TV signal is sometimes there and sometimes not. Usually at this time, it will rain at night, so you should close the doors and windows tightly."

"Got it, squad leader."

Time passed in a flash, and half a month passed.

Lin Hui has gradually gotten used to this place.

He also figured out the old soldier's pattern.

Morning exercises, training, housekeeping, basically the same as in the front-line troops, even singing before meals.

Of course, the most important thing is that these veterans are very good to him.

They did not bully him because he made mistakes.

Instead, they enthusiastically helped him wash his shoes and socks.

There was even a time when Lin Hui just sneezed, and the squad leader brought him ginger tea in the evening.

Here, he really felt the warmth of home.

These veterans around him, like big brothers, took care of him meticulously.

"Crescent Island, what a good place..."

Lin Hui leaned against the tree with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, he sat up and shook his head vigorously: "No, how can I have such an idea. This is a cage, a place where the old man imprisoned and tortured me. How can I think well of it?"

"I should hate this place and hate it!"

"This is not where I should be. The colorful world outside belongs to me..."

Lin Hui kept admonishing himself!

But he didn't know that his rebellious heart had already been subtly influenced by him.Changed.

That night, everyone in the outpost was asleep.

Boom!

A thunderbolt illuminated the night sky.

The next second, heavy rain and strong winds suddenly fell.

Lin Hui was sleeping soundly at this moment.

Suddenly, the door was blown open.

Lin Hui was startled and woke up by the rain in an instant!

"Fuck! What the hell is going on?"

Before he could react, a black shadow rushed in from outside in an instant.

Like a mountain, it blocked the door.

Bang!

The door was shut heavily.

Lin Hui turned on the light and found that it was the squad leader who came.

He was stunned: "Squad leader, why are you here?"

Wei Yongnian was soaked, and he pulled a towel from the wall and threw it to him: "Wipe it off quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Squad leader, I'm fine."

"What do you mean fine? I'm soaked."

Wei Yongnian said seriously: "Hurry up, don't catch a cold! We are not outside. If you get sick, it will be a big deal!"

Lin Hui knew that this was an isolated island on the sea.

The supply ship only comes once every half a month, and it may take longer if there is bad weather.

If you get sick, it will be very troublesome!

He quickly wiped it with a towel, and then handed it to the squad leader: "Squad leader, you wipe it too."

Wei Yongnian wiped his face and said with a smile: "The weather at sea changes at any time, you will get used to it in the future. However, the situation today is not bad. Last time, the wind was so strong that the roof was almost blown off."

Lin Hui looked at the bad weather outside with wind and rain.

He was a little nervous.

However, seeing the squad leader's calm face, he was relieved.

Wei Yongnian took out the tape from his pocket: "I'll seal the window for you, so the rain won't seep in. This door has been used for a long time, and the lock has problems. You can use a chair to prop it up later. I'll bring you a new bed sheet and quilt..."

Although his body was cold, Lin Hui felt his heart warm.

It feels so good to be cared for.

In the production base, he has always acted as an older brother, taking care of Wang Yong and Erhu.

Unexpectedly, after coming here, he can enjoy such treatment.

Lin Hui hesitated and asked: "Squad leader, can I ask a question?"

"What can I ask?"

"Why are you being polite to me? Just ask!"

Lao Ma said while sealing the window.

Lin Hui asked curiously: "Squad leader, I have been here for a while. I know that there is no one else on the island except us. I don't understand why you are so self-disciplined every day. Aren't you tired?"

Lao Ma said cheerfully: "People have to find something to do, otherwise they will be driven crazy here?"

Lin Hui was puzzled: "Drinking tea and fishing are also finding things to do. Why not choose a more relaxed way, comfortable, isn't it better?"

"That would be good."

Wei Yongnian stopped: "But, it's not suitable for us."

Lin Hui was depressed. Are there still people who don't like to be lazy and have to make trouble for themselves?

"Can I know why? What is the reason that makes you persist, train every day, day after day, or what force supports you?"

Wei Yongnian turned his head with a smile on his face: "Because, we are a soldier..."

Lin Hui was shocked, and goose bumps appeared on his arms instantly.

Because we are a soldier?

How can this sentence... be the same as what the eldest brother said?

Lin Hui felt that he had fallen into a vicious circle that he could never get out of.

What is a soldier?

To endure loneliness? To be strict with oneself? Or, to defend the country?

Just then, a loud roar suddenly came from outside.

"Squad leader, come quickly, something happened!"
