When Xinjiang enters winter, people are frozen to death during the day and at night. Almost every day the people in the kitchen get up earlier than other soldiers to prepare breakfast. It is nothing when the weather is warm. After the weather is cold, it is really a very painful thing.

Bai Xinyu has to wear thick cotton clothes every day, put on a raincoat, water the ground, and feed the pigs. Sometimes the water is sprinkled on his feet, and he can still feel the bone-broken coldness even though he is clearly making mistakes in the kitchen. In the past, Wu Qing gradually stopped him from entering the kitchen, and he was still complacent, but now it is cold and it is so cold that he can work in the warm kitchen that he is so envious. The pigs he feeds have gradually grown up, and one

The sow was pregnant. In order to allow the sow to give birth smoothly, their cooking class studied books for several days and strictly designated diets. It was more careful than taking care of patients. If you say that people are sometimes cheap, Bai Xinyu looked forward to staying away from these pigs every day, but when a pig he raised was pulled to slaughter, he felt a little uncomfortable and didn't eat pork for more than a week. However, his lack of appetite is probably related to his serious worries recently.

After Bai Xinyu finished talking to Wu Qing that day, he kept thinking about a big thing - the meaning of life. This was too novel and heavy for him. When he first thought about this question, he kept thinking about his previous life. How much time he wasted and how many expectations he had failed. This process was not pleasant at all, because the more he thought about it, the more shame he felt for his previous self. However, he still didn't know how to "be worthy of the bullets he knocked out" as Wu Qing said, unless he could go on battle to kill the enemy or something, but it was scary to think about it. He was so young and didn't want to die, so he never came up with the answer to this question.

Most of the time, life in the military camp is boring, so everyone is very excited about any activities, just like when they were young, they were having sports meetings. It felt like a great feast that would prevent everyone from going to school and play legally. So whether they participated in the competition or not, everyone was enthusiastic about the competition. The entire camp was actively doing the preparations before the conference, and the kitchen class was even more busy receiving leaders from the military district.

Just when he was so busy, Wu Qing gave Bai Xinyu three days off. Bai Xinyu was stunned when he heard it, "Ah? It's vacation? Why?"

Wu Qing said: "Give you time to practice, don't be lazy just because it's cold."

Bai Xinyu said happily: "Really, squad leader, thank you, squad leader."

Wu Qing waved his hand and said, "Go."

Bai Xinyu went to apply for a gun and went to the shooting range to practice. This time, he ran into the fourth company commander and inspected the training of the fourth company. The fourth company commander recognized him at a glance, "Hey, isn't this Xiaobai? What about your squad leader."

"The squad leader is working."

The fourth company commander looked at him, "You can practice it yourself?"

Bai Xinyu nodded, "I want to participate in the shooting event, and the squad leader gave me a few days off."

"Are you participating in the shooting?" The fourth company commander looked him from the beginning, "It was your squad leader who asked you to go?"

"No, I want to go."

"How have you been practicing recently?" The fourth company commander patted his shoulder. "We have produced a lot of people who are good at shooting. Although Squad Leader Wu is a sharpshooter, he may not be able to teach people. I'm curious, how have you been trained by him?"

Bai Xinyu felt that his tone was a little provocative, and hummed in his heart, "I must have given you a second, but on the surface I was quite modest, "Overall, the squad leader thinks that our kitchen team should also send people to participate in this kind of group-wide activities."

The fourth company commander was quite satisfied with this answer, "Well, the key is to participate. That's fine, you practice."

Bai Xinyu didn't talk nonsense to him. He skillfully bumped into the magazine and adjusted the scope. In order not to affect the rhythm of others, he lay down with the people from the Fourth Company, waiting for the instructor's order to shoot together.

After the first round of shooting, someone began to report to the target paper, "76, 79, 83, 92, 94, 86...98!"

The fourth company commander was stunned, "Wait, who is 98?"

The people in the fourth company were silent. Bai Xinyu turned his head and smiled, "Chief, I."

The fourth company commander walked over and squatted beside him, and said in surprise: "Okay, boy."

Bai Xinyu pretended to be regretful and said, "No, his hands are almost frozen."

The fourth company commander patted his head, "How are you fighting 85?"

"It's okay." Actually, he wanted to say it, but modesty is popular in the army, which makes him so worried.

“Where is 95?”

"It's okay, too."

The fourth company commander handed him an unassembled 85 sniper, "Try it."

Bai Xinyu took the sniper rifle and quickly assembled it. He remembered that when he was just learning to assemble the gun, Chen Jing held an empty magazine and knocked his hand one wrong step. It couldn't be considered very painful, but it was very shameful. It was a bit like when he was a child, he was beaten by a teacher when he was a child. He came to Wu Qing's hands. Although he didn't hit people, he liked to stare at people with his eyes, which made you feel ashamed. Bai Xinyu felt that the most famous thing he had been in the army for eight months was shame.

He formed a gun and shot the newly replaced target paper. The ring was quickly reported, "9.76 ring!"

The fourth company commander's eyes were almost glaring out, "You're learning from the squad leader Wu?"

Bai Xinyu nodded.

The fourth company commander was in a very complicated mood. In fact, he advised Wu Qing several times to let him be an instructor, but Wu Qing was unwilling to do so. Later, he figured it out. Wu Qing made a point. He could shoot guns, which did not mean that he could be a good instructor. Wu Qing could teach such an apprentice, and it was unlikely that Wu Qing could teach such an apprentice well. This soldier must have some talent, but how could Xu Laosan put him in the kitchen squad with such a potential soldier?

The fourth company commander pulled Bai Xinyu from the ground, "Come on, comrade, I'll talk to you."

Bai Xinyu was not sure, so he followed him to the other side of the shooting range. The fourth company commander took out a cigarette and handed him a piece. Bai Xinyu looked around and didn't dare to take it. In the army, there was no smoking on the surface, but many people smoked it privately, as long as they were not discovered. Of course, this was only targeted at soldiers.

The fourth company commander pushed into his hands, "Come on, it's okay."

Bai Xinyu took it over and hadn't smoked for a long time. He was really a little greedy, "Chief, you are looking for me..."

The fourth company commander smiled and said, "Who are you recruiting soldiers?"

Bai Xinyu thought to myself that I came in through the back door, and he coughed lightly and said, "Instructor."

"Old Wang has a good attitude, but why did your company commander put you in the kitchen squad?"

Bai Xinyu said uneasyly: "I have poor results in the assessment."

"Oh? I think you shoot well."

"Just shoot better, everything else is average."

The fourth company commander smiled, "Is that true? But we will not throw any potential soldier into the kitchen squad at will, unless we really can't practice it. I think your company commander's purpose is not simple."

Bai Xinyu didn't understand, "What does it mean."

The fourth company commander smiled mysteriously, "It's nothing, Xiaobai, I just said, are you willing to come to my company?"

Bai Xinyu said in surprise: "Fourth Company?"

"Yes, we are an infantry company, and we need sniper talents like you. If you come to my company, I can train you to become an excellent sniper."

"Sniper." Bai Xinyu's heart thumped a few times, "Can I be a sniper?"

The fourth company commander smiled and said, "Why can't you? You like shooting."

Bai Xinyu nodded.

"Don't you want to touch a better gun? Use better equipment? Do you want to try actual combat instead of target paper?"

Bai Xinyu was very moved to hear it. Snipers are a particularly awesome word for most soldiers. It represents one in a million, represents a lot of money to cultivate, represents majesty, domineeringness and the admiration of others. Being a sniper is almost every soldier's dream. Bai Xinyu has never had this kind of heroic dream, but he never came out of the idea of ​​being a crane tail soldier, and he never dared to think that he could be a sniper. Therefore, the fourth company commander suddenly felt a sense of pride of being affirmed, and at the same time he also developed a yearning. He swallowed his saliva and "think."

The fourth company commander laughed and said, "That's right. I'll tell your company commander that soldiers like you shouldn't be buried in the kitchen squad."

"Ah..." Bai Xinyu hesitated a little. He originally wanted to return to Chen Jing's class.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Xinyu scratched his head, "Chief, I, let me think about it."

The fourth company commander smiled and said, "No problem, you think about it, I will do your company commander's job, this is a good thing, you don't have to be nervous."

After returning from the shooting range, Bai Xinyu kept thinking about the fourth company commander's words. He felt that Xu Chuang would not care about his stay or stay. Should he go to the fourth company commander? At least he could achieve his original goal - to leave the kitchen team, but he was really reluctant to leave the kitchen team and the comrades from the previous third squad, and... If he went to the fourth company, he would have fewer opportunities to meet these people in the future. He would definitely not be able to meet Yu Fengcheng every day.

When he realized that he was a little reluctant to leave Yu Fengcheng, he was shocked. Why should he give up that evil star? The two of them just relieved each other's lonely relationship. It would be better for Yu Fengcheng, a bastard, to live with his uncle.

Although I thought so, Bai Xinyu always felt that if he went to the Fourth Company, there would be something wrong, just like... he was betrayed the Third Company.

Bai Xinyu thought for a long time and then turned to shift three. Yu Fengcheng and the others had just finished their meal and were resting, so he called Yu Fengcheng out.

The two of them ran to a secluded place, and Yu Fengcheng hooked his chin and smiled, "What's wrong, do you miss me?"

Bai Xinyu said: "I was at the shooting range today and took 85 snipers to hit a 9.76 ring. Isn't it awesome?"

Yu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Do you think my grades can get a ranking in the martial arts competition?"

Yu Fengcheng thought for a while, "Your grades are in the top three in our company, so I don't know the whole group."

Bai Xinyu shook at him, "What about you? Is he better than you?"

Yu Fengcheng snorted and said, "This is not accurate. I have also achieved better results than this. It depends on my performance on the spot."

"How many projects are you participating in?"

"Several." Yu Fengcheng said lightly.

Bai Xinyu looked at him, "Are you working so hard to go to the Snow Leopard Team?"

"Yes." Yu Fengcheng's expression was a little serious.

"Why do you want to go to the Snow Leopard Team so much? The special forces are tired and dangerous. Are you not afraid of death?"

Yu Fengcheng looked at him unexpectedly, "Are you Chun coming to chat with me today?"

"Just say it, I want to hear your ideal."

Yu Fengcheng sneered: "What's wrong with you today?"

"Tell me."

Yu Fengcheng looked at him for a while before saying, "Our whole family is a soldier, including my mother. Although she is a civilian and art troupe, I have been influenced by everyone around me since I was a child. When I grow up, I must be a soldier. The one who has the greatest influence on me here is my uncle."

"Why?"

"My uncle and I are not much older than me. When I was a child, I often took me to play with him, and I always aimed at him."

Bai Xinyu mustered up the courage and asked the question that Yu Fengcheng was unwilling to answer last time, "You don't go to the military academy, is it for your uncle?"

Yu Fengcheng lowered his eyes. Just when Bai Xinyu thought he would not answer, he spoke, "Yes, after I finished military academy and then went to the army, if I could successfully pass the recommendation, selection, and repeated assessments, it would take at least five to six years to join the Snow Leopard Team. At that time, he is likely to be no longer in the Snow Leopard. I want to stand on the same battlefield with him."

Bai Xinyu didn't know why, but he didn't feel very good. It turned out that Yu Fengcheng has been following his uncle's pace since he was a child, and he has been chasing him until he was old. He even gave up going to the military academy for his uncle. This was a great sacrifice for a person who wanted to be a soldier for life. After all, it was extremely difficult to go to an ordinary private to go up from an ordinary soldier. Even if their family has a background, it was difficult to change from a non-commissioned officer to an officer. What Yu Fengcheng gave up was a shortcut to soaringly. He said unhappily: "Your parents asked you to come like this? Didn't you stop you?"

Yu Fengcheng shrugged, "When they find out, I'm already coming to the army, it's too late."

Bai Xinyu whispered: "How do you know that you will definitely be able to join the Snow Leopard Team? I heard that you will need multiple levels of assessment. Even if you enter, you will be sent back if you fail."

Yu Fengcheng said firmly: "I will definitely go in."
