Chapter 38

In the evening, the sunset hangs on the western suburbs, red, and the autumn sunset is so eye-catching. After a day of work, the earth seems to be tired and quietly.

Li Zewen stood by the car smoking and looked up at the second floor yard from time to time. The troops were out for physical fitness at this time. The No. 3 courtyard was empty, and the atmosphere in the second floor yard was heavy.

Section Chief Li Shuai and Wu Chengyong stood there and waited quietly, Niu Jun helped He Biting pack his luggage. He Biting's movements were very fast, and his calm and neat movements were not obvious that he was suffering from great sorrow.

"Sister Jun, it's enough, I'm just going back for two days." He Biting said to Niu Jun with a smile.

Niu Jun felt very uncomfortable, and the more he was as if He Biting was not doing anything, the more uncomfortable she felt. Li Shuai told her that Niu Jun was raised by his grandfather when he was young, and his name was chosen by his grandfather. He was trained as a soldier. The relationship between grandfather and grandson was very deep. The more he understood, the more he could understand the grief that He Biting had endured.

It was just a digital camouflage backpack, which was brought by He Biting, and put on a set of camouflage uniforms for changing clothes, shoes, underwear and other simple items.

He Biting walked up to report, "Report to the instructor, prepare for it!"

Li Shuai took down her marching hand, then took out a pair of private ranks from her pocket, which were collar seals used for the 07 camouflage uniform, as well as military marks and armbands. Li Shuai personally put the private ranks on He Biting, and put the military marks on the top of her right chest pocket, and finally hung the armband of the "Southern Theater Command" on her right armband.

Li Shuai took a step back and looked at He Biting, nodded slightly, stretched out his hands and patted her on the shoulder, "Go home."

In just this moment, He Biting's tears came out. She controlled her hard and gritted her teeth, "Yes!"

The group went downstairs.

Li Zewen quickly stepped on the cigarette butt and threw it to the trash can, ran back to the driver's seat to start the car. When the personnel got into the car one after another, Li Zewen walked away without saying a word by stepping on the gas.

The twelve kilometers from the base to the North High-speed Railway Station is exactly the evening rush hour.

The nearest high-speed rail station in He Biting's hometown in Hunan is a small station. There is only one high-speed rail stopping in Pengcheng City and departing at 6:45 pm. Time is very tight, and it is the busy evening rush hour. Li Zewen opened the flash of the center net without saying a word, activated the siren, and drove the vehicles to the place where they were heading from time to time with a hurry.

Cheetah 2030C rushed left and right, frequently changed lanes and compacted lines, and any gaps that could be used were fully utilized. When entering the business district of Nanshan New District to the north, vehicles continued to cross the office parking lots on both sides into the road, and the waiting time at traffic light intersections became longer and longer.

Li Zewen looked at the densely packed vehicles in front, gently patted the steering wheel and thought about a solution. On the left was the left turn left, and the green light was turned left. Li Zewen did not hesitate and directly rushed to the line. A Rolls-Royce Phantom in the rear hurriedly braked, and the boss in the back seat almost hit the front seat. The driver scolded, "It's amazing to be a soldier." After seeing the situation clearly, the boss said, "The army must have something urgent."

Cheetah 2030C entered the left turn lane and walked straight, roaring with a sirens and flashing, directly passing through the left turn traffic in the opposite lane. After passing through the intersection, it increased the accelerator and ran forward along the straight urban road.

Wu Chengyong sat in the co-pilot, looking like a common thing. He took out his cell phone to call the military transport representative of the North High-speed Railway Station. After a brief greeting, he said, "We rushed to Wuhan at 5:45. Yes, now there are eight kilometers away. There are many rush hour trains, and it may be difficult to board the train as usual. Please coordinate and we will go directly to the platform to board the train. Please ask the train commander to check the tickets on your behalf. I'm in trouble!"

The military transport representative of the North High-speed Railway Station immediately contacted the station duty room and quickly coordinated the matter. A few minutes later, Wu Chengyong got a definite reply and said to Li Zewen, "Enter directly into the platform."

"I understand!" Li Zewen rushes on his adrenaline, and the accelerator is a little heavier.

He simply left the siren in a long state.

The local traffic monitoring center discovered this special situation. While driving out the green wave belt, it notified the road cavalry to quickly go forward to help open the road. Li Zewen also noticed the change and wanted to get off the window to chase a cavalry who was catching up with him loudly said, "High-speed Railway North Station!"

The iron cavalry gave a thumbs up and said he received it. He patted his helmet and signaled Li Zewen to follow him. He twisted the accelerator and rushed to the front. Another iron cavalry acted as the vanguard and went to the front to drive the road first. There was another iron cavalry pressing behind to prevent individual vehicles from overtaking, and at the same time, he was ready to go forward and make up for the seats at any time.

With the implementation of multiple measures, it took an hour to travel during the evening rush hour, and it took only fifteen minutes to arrive at the North High-speed Railway Station. Li Zewen drove in from the work passage and drove the car directly to the platform. When Li Shuai and the others got off, it was only two minutes before departure.

The conductor who had been notified long ago found Li Shuai and the others, took them to the dining car to arrange for them to sit down, and then made up for the tickets for the four. At this time, the train had started and ran northward at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

At 9:45 pm, the train arrived at the destination station. The local armed forces sent a Jinbei Haishi business car to pick it up. The team was led by a major from the recruitment office. After a brief greeting, the group got on the train and drove out of the city in the dark toward the mountain village dozens of kilometers away.

The major of the recruitment office introduced the situation in a deep voice, saying, "When Mr. He died, he asked not to hold a memorial service and keep it simple. The family's opinions were to bid farewell according to local customs and be buried in the county martyrs' cemetery."

He Biting asked, "Where is my grandfather?"

"In my hometown, I will go to the funeral home tomorrow." said the major of the recruitment office.

He Biting stopped talking, but at this moment she was extremely calm, with no sadness on her face, and she could even say that she had no expression. Her tone was calmer than usual, and she could make people feel that her heart was not in a state of turmoil.

Li Shuai understood that the calmer she was, the more painful she felt. He Biting had already entered a state of confusion, her self-consciousness was no longer awake, and she began to disbelief in everything she was discovering.

Jinbei Haishi is driving fast on the second-class highway in the mountainous area. It has a very narrow two-way double lane, with nine bends and eighteen bends, and two large light columns slowly extending deep into the mountainous area...

The 301th Comprehensive Training Base, the second floor of the No. 3 courtyard.

Chen Xueer moved the bed and slept on the closest bed to the door. It was originally the platoon leader's bed. Li Shuai was a male instructor and could not move in, so the bed was always empty. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Chen Xueer simply rolled up the bed and moved it over to sleep.

It has been more than half an hour since the lights were turned off, and most people have not fallen asleep.

Chen Xueer sat there against the wall, covering her lower body with a quilt covering her lower body, thinking about something.

Chen Xiao, who had been separated by several bunks, turned over and saw Chen Xueer still sitting there. She also got up and sat against the wall, and whispered with courage, "Instructor, do you have insomnia?"

Chen Xueer looked to Chen Xiao, and could vaguely see a contour under the moonlight, and whispered, "Think about something, why haven't you been asleep yet?"

"The squad leader doesn't know what to do, and he always feels uneasy. Has she violated any discipline?" Chen Xiao said.

Chen Xueer obviously heard that many people were turning over. It was obvious that they were not asleep at this moment, and they were all listening with their ears on their backs. The soldiers didn't know about He Biting's death. Li Shuai and Niu Jun would not inform the soldiers even if they took He Biting home to attend the funeral. Everyone found out that they didn't see the instructor after supper and were suspicious.

After thinking a little, Chen Xueer said in a deep voice, "He Biting's grandfather passed away. The base sent someone to take her home to attend the funeral, and your instructors also went there. He Biting's grandfather was an old Red Army soldier. He won the first-class merit during the War of Resistance Against Japan. He kept his name invisible throughout his life and was an old hero."

Almost all the female recruits sat up and looked over in surprise, despite the darkness.

"He Biting's grandfather has fought many wars. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been demobilized and returned home to farm. He has never mentioned to others that he has made meritorious contributions in wars and has not even known his family. After the search for the most beautiful retired military clues began at the beginning of this year, Mr. He's deeds emerged, but at that time Mr. He's health was already very poor."

Chen Xueer sighed and said, "On the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 2015, Mr. He did not take the initiative to tell his deeds. He is a real hero."

The soldiers were silent. In recent years, everyone discovered that in the unknown corners, there were many old heroes who had made contributions to the country and the people. They did not take credit for their contributions and did the work that people were accustomed to for decades.

"The squad leader must have a deep relationship with her grandfather." Chen Xiao sniffed and whispered, "I just feel that the squad leader is in a bad mood today. Maybe she had a premonition."

Zhang Xiaoran's voice slowly came out in the darkness, "I talked about these things with Biting. When she was a child, she was a left-behind child. Her parents worked in Wuyang City. She was raised by her grandfather since she was a child. Until she was in junior high school, her parents' career was also done, so she left her hometown in Hunan to Wuyang City. Later, she returned to her hometown to prepare for the college entrance examination, and her grandfather took care of her. The old man was in good health, but she didn't expect that things would happen so suddenly..."

"Biting has a photo of him, taking a photo with the old man before joining the army. It can be seen that the old man is very energetic." Hang said quietly.

Chen Xueer sighed and said, "I have been hiding my identity for half a century. Perhaps in the old man's heart, he never thinks he is a hero. His comrades who have died on the battlefield who have no chance to see a prosperous motherland are heroes."

The air was extremely heavy, Chen Xueer said in a deep voice, "Compared with the seniors, the difficulties we face are not worth mentioning. Really, comrades, keep up with your instructor's pace, he will lead you to find the meaning of being born."
