The drizzle comes as soon as possible, and the specialties in winter in the south are always so annoying.

The temperature was only five or six degrees, and the drizzle made me feel even colder. Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao had to call a few soldiers from the logistics support team to build a rain shelter, so that the sentries could shelter from the wind and rain.

After the second class came up, Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao went back to rest. As the rain increased, Li Shuai was worried about the drainage situation of the students' camp, so he got up and carried a small shovel to patrol one by one. Liu Xiaojian also happened to get up, holding a small shovel in his hand.

"Squad leader, please rest quickly, I'll go see it." Liu Xiaojian said while adjusting his raincoat.

Li Shuai tied up his raincoat and said, "Since you're up, let's go together. The drainage situation should not be a big problem."

"I have checked it carefully, and it should be fine. The rain will not continue to increase or fall for a long time, so it will be fine." Liu Xiaojian followed Li Shuai to patrol the students' camp.

When choosing a camping site, you must consider both offense and defense under field conditions, as well as convenience and protection in life, and protection against nature. Drainage is a relatively important part, and a good drainage system can even play a defensive role.

When he arrived at the second squad, Li Shuai always felt that one of the tents was a little strange, so he walked over to check it out. When the flashlight shone in, Liu Xiaojian's cold sweat came out.

Li Shuai quickly opened the tent door. The quilt was messy. He reached out to touch the bed and it was already cold.

"I'll report and gather the troops urgently." Liu Xiaojian said.

But Li Shuai stopped him and said, "Wait."

"It's been running for at least half an hour." Liu Xiaojian almost fainted. After midnight, he was on duty, but a soldier ran away, which undoubtedly pushed him into the abyss.

Li Shuai said, "Don't panic, it's night in the wilderness, where can he run? What's the situation with this soldier?"

Liu Xiaojian said, "The artillery reconnaissance brigade is named Tian Wei, who is a top corps."

"Where is the details?" Li Shuai asked.

Liu Xiaojian shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Shuai said decisively, "Call all the instructors and go to find them. Please ask Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao to notify the logistics support team to find them in groups. The intercom will be transferred to Channel 1. You can immediately find out about Tian Wei's situation."

"yes!"

Liu Xiaojian ran away.

Li Shuai carefully searched the ground and found that the rain was very bad, which blurred the footprints on the ground very well, increasing the difficulty of identification. However, Li Shuai still found some clues. There were a string of camouflage rubber shoes heading westward and was very messy, indicating that the person who left these footprints was quite panicked at the time.

While following the footprints, Li Shuai deployed the search on the walkie-talkie. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao ran over, "Squad Leader, why don't you assemble the troops?"

Li Shuai didn't care about Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's tone of questioning and said, "Deputy Commander Zhao, don't worry, it's not a big deal. Unless he has wings, I will definitely be able to retrieve him before dawn. The troops are very hard, and now they are called up and affecting their rest and tomorrow's training, but I can't do it."

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "You are so energetic. This is not my soldier or your soldier, but the soldiers of other units. If something happens, I can't afford to take care of you."

His words are by no means alarmist. If the grassroots chief officer leaves the team privately during his tenure, the future of the grassroots chief officer will be basically over.

Li Shuai understood Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's concerns very well, and led Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao to walk west along the uneven wasteland and said, "Believe me, I may not be able to find him until dawn, look."

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao looked over the light column and it was a mechanized farming road. He immediately notified Xiao Tang to drive the car over. It was easy to deal with the road. If there was a road, Tian Wei would definitely run along the road. This is a subconscious mind of a person. Leaving the team privately is not a escaping, and Tian Wei is not a fugitive from the end of the world, so he would not give up on a comfortable road and choose to trek through the wasteland.

The two of them strode west along the mechanized farm road without waiting for the car to come. From the point of the footprints, they must have gone west. Li Shuai knew that there were several villages in front, which were considered to be a area far away from the national highway. After repeated crushing by agricultural machinery, the mechanized farm road was very solid. The ruts were very flat, and weeds grew on both sides and in the middle.

"The front is the edge of the farm, and the map shows that there is a village in front called Tianjia Village." Li Shuai said.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was not surprised that Li Shuai remembered the information on the map in such a short time. Qualified scouts and special forces basically had unforgettable memory, and he had a professional and keen sense of map information.

"What exactly is Tian Wei running for?" Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao finally had the time to analyze Tian Wei's motivation. "Is it because I can't stand the intensity of training or something else?"

Li Shuai said, "I'm afraid there is something else. He didn't bring anything, just like he was going out to the toilet."

Liu Xiaojian's call came from the intercom: "Squad leader, squad leader, Liu Xiaojian's situation was found. He is a small county town where his household registration is, which is the county we are currently in."

"Okay, I get it."

Li Shuai thought a little and nodded slowly, "Tianjia Village, I know what's going on. Tian Wei is too reckless in doing things."

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao also thought, "Are you saying he ran out secretly to go home and take a look?"

"It's very likely." Li Shuai said.

"I can finally relax my tone." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao finally smiled.

Soon, a village appeared in front of me, and only one family was still on. Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao stood still and looked at each other and smiled. After Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao told the driver Xiao Tang about the route, he ordered all the search teams to withdraw. Li Shuai said, "Wait a little longer, let them withdraw after implementation."

"That's right." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao quickly changed the order, "Don't retreat the troops first, wait for my order."

Li Shuai walked towards the family and told Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, "Don't worry later, I'll deal with it."

"Okay." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao agreed to everything, and as long as someone was looking for it, everything else would be easy to say.

It is easy to deal with if you don't report it. The army leaders don't want to kill the soldiers. Of course, there are reasons for forgiveness. If it is because they can't endure hardship, it's a different matter. It is very rare to leave the team privately with the ranks of top ranks or above, and most of them happen to new recruits, especially during the training period of new recruits.

When Li Shuai walked to the door of the house, he was basically sure that Tian Wei was inside. Although the living room door was closed, the laughter and joy inside ran out.

Li Shuai knocked on the door.

The door opened was a rural woman. She saw that there were two people in military uniforms and were officials. She immediately became excited, "September, your army leader is here."

Tian Wei was having a feast in the restaurant inside, and his father was sitting next to him talking to him. When Tian Wei heard this, he changed his expression and ran out quickly. After seeing Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, he had no energy to chew the food in his mouth. He had been a soldier for more than a year, and of course he knew the consequences of leaving the team privately.

Li Shuai smiled and said to Tian Wei's mother, "Auntie, I've disturbed you late at night. Uncle, please be fine, I've disturbed you."

This made the couple very excited and couldn't let go of their hands and feet and didn't know how to greet them.

Li Shuai said, "Uncle and Auntie, the army is training nearby and will leave tomorrow dawn, so Tian Wei ran back to see you at night."

"Tian Wei, keep eating, I have something to tell you." Li Shuai asked Tian Wei to return to the dining table and asked him to sit down and continue eating. Tian Wei had no appetite.

Li Shuai looked at the dishes on the table, and he could imagine that Tian Wei's mother was getting up in the middle of the night to cook, and she felt uncomfortable.

"Eat, since I can find this place, I don't plan to hold you responsible. Eat." Li Shuai said.

Tian Wei was stunned and looked at Li Shuai blankly, and tears came down, "Squad leader, I, I really can't control myself. I was wrong. You can do whatever you want, but can you tell my parents that I ran back secretly. I'll go back after dinner."

"I know you will go back, but it is definitely wrong for you to do this. Also, do you think your parents won't doubt it? Look at what time it is." Li Shuai said, shook his head slightly, "Eat, your mother has cooked you so many dishes and you can eat more."

On the other side, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Father Tian sat and talked.

Father Tian said nervously, "Chief, did Tian Wei not get the approval to run back? Alas, I know it must not be that simple. It was in the middle of the night. Chief, his mother was hospitalized some time ago, and the child was thinking about it, but he was too impulsive to do things. Chief, can he bypass him?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle, it's not that serious. The troops are training nearby. If there is such a practical situation, Tian Wei should be asked to go home to see him. He may be worried that I would run back by myself if I didn't approve it. But it doesn't matter, don't worry, uncle, you won't punish him. Of course, criticism and education are necessary."

"Thank you, Chief!" Tian Wei's parents bowed quickly

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao quickly stopped him, "Don't, uncle and aunt, I can't bear this. Tian Wei performed well. He is participating in a training camp for the entire army. This is very difficult, and you should be proud."

"Is that so good? It's really good. It's mainly because your leader is mainly because your leader is training." Father Tian said hurriedly.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said, "Uncle, aunt, the army is disciplined, so we have to take Tian Wei back now. When the training camp is over, I will find a way to win him a few days of opportunity to go home to visit his relatives."

"Okay, okay, okay." Tian Wei's parents didn't know how to thank him.

After almost the same talk, Li Shuai also brought Tian Wei out.

I couldn't help but say goodbye to tears, and kept watching the military vehicle carrying my son go further and further.

In the car, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao issued an order to withdraw the search team. Tian Wei was frightened. In order to find him, he had used so many people, and it was too late to regret it at this time.

Li Shuai, who sat in the back row of Hotan Wei, said, "Tian Wei, do you know the consequences of doing so?"

"I know." Tian Wei lowered his head and said tone was depressed.

Li Shuai said, "You performed well in the army. If you are punished for this matter, all your previous efforts and all your future efforts will be in vain. You must deeply understand this lesson."

"yes."

Li Shuai said, "If you do have something at home, you can report it to your superiors. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and our instructor are not emotional animals. If you know that your home is nearby, you will consider giving you a few hours of vacation. If you do this, it was a good thing, but now it has become a bad thing."

Sighing, Li Shuai said, "Okay, lift your head. I discussed it with Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao. Considering your actual situation, I will just let it go."

Tian Wei raised his head, both surprised and surprised.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said, "You have to know what happened tonight. Do you know?"

"Yes! Thank you, Chief! Thank you, Squad Leader!" Tian Wei was about to cry excitedly.

He thought at least one warning was required, and he might even return to the unit. It was certain that he was embarrassed. As for what Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Li Shuai said at his house, he actually didn't believe it at all. Leaving the team privately is not an ordinary violation of discipline. Of course, he now realized that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and the chief instructor were protecting him, so he gently exposed it.

Li Shuai said, "But I have the conditions. You must get the top ten rankings in the final assessment of the training camp, otherwise I will call your unit to inform you of this matter."

"Yes! Chief Instructor! I will definitely get the top ten!" Tian Wei said firmly, let alone compete for the top ten, even if he is asked to compete for the top ten, he will still work hard.

After a while of silence, Li Shuai's tone eased and asked, "Tell me about your family's situation, it seems that the economy is not good?"

"...Yes." Tian Wei's head lowered, "My mother was in poor health and went to the hospital all year round and couldn't do work. My father only farmed the land at home. My younger brother and sister are still young, and I only have more than 900 yuan a month subsidy, so life at home is more difficult."

Both Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao realized that the Tian Wei family should be the worst house in the village, even worse than the three large tile houses of Mr. Zhao. It is said that the family is barely bare, but life must be difficult.

"Do you know about the company?" Li Shuai asked.

Tian Wei shook his head, "I didn't say that I can support it. It would be much better if I get a salary after being transferred to a non-commissioned officer."

Li Shuai said to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, our training team will find a way to solve the problem."

"Okay, I'll find a way." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao agreed simply and neatly.

Tian Wei burst into tears.

Those who could be sent to the training camp were excellent soldiers and excellent backbones from various troops, and Tian Wei was no exception. Even though he knew he would be punished, he would run home to take a look, look at the poor family, and look at his mother who had just recovered from illness. It can be seen that the situation at home was indeed very bad.

Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao were very clear in their hearts, but they didn't say much, they had to take care of the soldiers' self-esteem. The honest parents had no education and only knew how to farm, and their mothers were in poor health, only their fathers were the only ones in the family, with old people and young people. It was not difficult to imagine what kind of life they would live.

"Men don't cry at any time. Raise your head and do it well. There is a great future in the army." Li Shuai patted Tian Wei's shoulder and said.

Tian Wei wiped his tears and nodded resolutely.
Chapter completed!
