Chapter 16
Shao Fei stayed in the confinement room for two days, and was taken out by Xiao Muting to go to the toilet several times on the way. He didn't touch any rice, and when he left, his legs and feet were weak, and his right hand subconsciously touched Xiao Muting's wrist.
Want to hold, but also some resistance.
Xiao Muting patted his face, "Are you hungry?"
He took a step back vigilantly, lowering his head slightly, like a wounded little beast.
Xiao Muting curled up his index finger and middle finger, and flicked the tip of his nose lightly, "Are you talking to me, are you stupid? The captain doesn't care?"
He frowned and touched the tip of his nose, "I'm a little hungry."
Where is a little hungry, obviously already hungry to faint!
Xiao Muting turned sideways, supported his back with his left hand, and scratched the bridge of his nose with his right hand, "Go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Shao Fei followed Xiao Muting for a while, squinting at Xiao Muting's side face from time to time, unable to concentrate, until he reached the door of the logistics building, he said in surprise: "This is not the way to the cafeteria!"
"Change the medicine first, then eat." Xiao Muting pointed to the gauze on his arm, "Yesterday, it was temporarily sterilized, so let the doctor take a look today."
It was 10 a.m. and there was no one in the infirmary.
Xiao Muting searched the corridor twice, but found no one, so he had to go back to the infirmary, find new gauze, cotton, and medicine, and said while removing the gauze for Shao Fei: "I still have to come."
Some wounds on the forearm had scabbed over, Xiao Muting carefully applied iodophor on it.It hurt a little when the medicine seeped into the wound, Shao Fei let out a low "hiss".
Xiao Muting raised his eyes, "Pain?"
He shook his head immediately, then pursed his lips slightly after 2 seconds, and nodded quietly.
Xiao Muting caught his small movements from the corner of his eye, the movements were lighter, and he even blew on the wound symbolically.
Shao Fei immediately withdrew his hand.
Retracting halfway, Xiao Muting stopped him again.
The major general's voice was gentle and not too low, with a touch of pampering like an elder, "Be good, don't move around, deal with it earlier, let's go to dinner earlier."
Shao Fei blinked, as if bewitched by that voice, sat upright, staring straight ahead without moving his eyeballs.
Xiao Muting was funny, he quickly treated the injury, and just after washing his hands, he heard a magnificent howl from his stomach.
He stood there, ears blushing from embarrassment.
Xiao Muting kicked his calf, "Let's go, this time we're really going to the cafeteria."
It was less than 11 o'clock, and the cafeteria was empty. Old Qi, the class leader in his 30s, waved and said, "Here you come? Sit inside, the food is ready."
It was rare for Shao Fei to enter the kitchen once, sitting on a stool and looking around.Xiao Muting told him to sit down, and a few minutes later he personally brought six dishes and one soup, including beef with soybeans, pork trotters with sauce, braised chicken wings, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork with green peppers, baby vegetables with mashed garlic, and crucian carp soup with tofu.
They were not delicacies from mountains and seas, and each serving was not much, but Shao Fei's eyes lit up, and his saliva almost flowed out.
All his favorite food!
Xiao Muting served him a bowl of rice, then took an empty porcelain plate and an empty bowl, scooped the crucian carp soup into the empty bowl to cool, then put the crucian carp into the porcelain plate, and said while straightening the thorns: "I wanted to Trouble Lao Qi to make boiled chicken, shredded beef with pickled peppers and boiled pork slices, Team Ning said you were injured and shouldn’t eat too spicy, let’s save these three items and eat them later.”
Shao Fei was even happier - that was his favorite food too!
Xiao Muting picked out the little thorn, and said warmly: "Drink a bowl of soup first, to warm your stomach, it doesn't matter if you can't finish the meal, eat more vegetables."
Shao Fei looked at the white and thick stewed fish soup in the bowl, his eyes became hot.
Xiao Muting put pig's trotters into his bowl, and saw that his eyes were red, "Is it still hot?"
He shook his head, "Not hot."
"Drink it quickly if it's not hot, and eat the vegetables after drinking. When the meal is ready, Ai Xin and the others will come to grab it from you."
Shao Fei quickly took a sip, and after eating the delicious hot soup, the warmth spread from his stomach, and he whispered, "Thank you Team Xiao."
Xiao Muting didn't answer, and continued to pick stabs with chopsticks.After gnawing on the pig's trotters, Shao Fei's lips were glossy, and he picked up the chicken wings and continued to gnaw.
Xiao Muting pushed the crucian carp without a thorn to him, and filled another bowl of soup to cool it down.
Shao Fei's eyelashes became wet while eating, "Captain Xiao, you are so kind to me..."
Xiao Muting couldn't help laughing, handed him a few pieces of paper, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's put down the chicken wings."
Shao Fei took the paper, "I didn't cry."
"Did I say you were crying?" Xiao Muting said, "I asked you to wipe your hands and mouth, but didn't ask you to wipe your eyes...Look, it's all oily."
Shao Fei's cheeks were slightly red, and he quickly wiped it on his lips, and when Xiao Muting turned his head sideways, he wiped the corners of his eyes like a thief.
Xiao Muting saw it all.
The six dishes and one soup were all wiped out, Xiao Muting took the dishes to the sink to wash, the younger brother in the cooking class and Shao Fei both grabbed them, but Xiao Muting said: "Don't argue, I'll do it."
When Shao Fei walked out of the cafeteria, he hiccupped four times in a row, so aggressive that he couldn't help it.After the beating, he secretly took a look at Xiao Muting, seeing that the other party didn't intend to make fun of him, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but in less than 3 seconds, he burped again with a louder voice.
This time Xiao Muting smiled.
Shao Fei felt ashamed, "Isn't hiccupping a normal physiological phenomenon after eating? Team Xiao, don't you hiccup?"
"I didn't say I don't hiccup."
"Then you still laugh at me?"
"Did I laugh at you?" Xiao Muting squinted his eyes, "Kids have too much self-awareness."
Shao Fei was even more embarrassed, his neck was red, he took a few steps forward, and then turned around, "Captain Xiao, you are really good at handling fishbone."
"Go back and make more black rice with sesame seeds, and persevere, you will be better than me in the future."
Shao Fei nodded, and when he was about to walk to the dormitory, he carefully brought up the old story, "Captain Xiao, I...I still really want to know about your past..."
Xiao Muting put one hand on his shoulder, as if he knew he had asked this question, "Why don't you tell me what you used to do."
"Me?" Shao Fei looked surprised, "I'm just an ordinary person. I joined the army after graduating from high school. What's wrong?"
"Not much. I suddenly want to hear the story of your childhood."
Shao Fei scratched his hair and stuttered, "Well, I, I don't have any stories... My parents left when I was very young, so I don't have any impression. I lived with my grandmother and brother. Later my brother also, Also left."
"Your brother..."
"He was also a soldier and died when I was 13."
The whole afternoon, Shao Fei sat and chatted with Xiao Muting under the shade of a tree.The ordinary special soldier is wearing blood-stained camouflage, and the high-ranking major general is wearing a pressed shirt. The gap between the two is like clouds and mud, but the distance between them is only a fist.
Shao Fei talked about it from when he first remembered it, and he talked about organizing gang fights with the little boys in the neighborhood, and he also talked about failing the exam, not daring to go home, running away from home with a bunch of buddies, and being caught by his brother and beaten... Almost every segment is marked with ordinary and poor footnotes, but Xiao Muting did not hear a trace of complaint and gloom from his voice.
"There are many small stalls at the entrance of the primary school. The spicy skewers are 2 cents and the meat is 5 cents. They are very fragrant and make you greedy. I have no money, and neither does my brother. When school is over, many parents come to pick up their children and eat all the way home. .My brother came to pick me up, but he didn’t have the money to buy me food. I was ignorant, crying and fussing. Then one day, he took me by the hand and said, ‘Brother will buy you spicy skewers’. I was very happy, every kind He ordered a portion of the skewers, and hiccupped when he ate, not knowing that the money was saved from his lunch fee."
"When I was about to graduate from elementary school, I started to rebel and wanted to play games. I didn't have a computer at home, and I had no money to play in an Internet cafe. It cost 3 yuan an hour. I just stood behind others and watched, and I couldn't control my mouth or my hands. I want to touch other people's keyboards. Just because of this, I have fought countless times with people. I was not as tall as I am now, short and thin, and the fights were messy. Almost every time I left the Internet cafe, my nose was bruised and my face was swollen. But I don’t have a long memory for life and death, and I will shoot it on other people’s keyboards next time. My brother came to the Internet cafe to arrest me. It’s not pity that I was beaten just now, and he beat me when I got home.”
"But no matter how much my brother beats me, I don't hate him. He is handsome. It's a pity that he left too early, at the age of 20, and didn't watch me grow up and wear the same military uniform as him."
"After my brother left, my grandma was in too much pain and went with me not long after. I was young and didn't know what to do in the future. Later, one of my brother's comrades in arms helped me and allowed me to finish junior high school and high school smoothly. I I've always wanted to meet him and thank him in person, but all I know is that he's from the Special Forces—because he's in the same unit as my brother. I don't know anything else. I...I'm worried about him."
Shao Fei spoke intermittently, Xiao Muting's eyes were deep: "Worried?"
"Two years ago, he stopped sending me money." Shao Fei said: "I was 18 years old at that time, and I really didn't need his help anymore. In fact, since I was 16 years old, I haven't touched the money he gave me. , are stored in the card. I work at a food stall after school, and I can support myself. But our contact was suddenly cut off, and I felt very uneasy."
After a pause, Shao Fei said, "In the Falcon training camp, he and my brother are my spiritual pillars."
"Ok?"
"The training camp was too hard, and I almost didn't pass it. Every time I feel that I can't do it, I think about my brother who survived the training camp like me; and if I think about entering the special forces later, maybe I have a chance to meet him .”
Xiao Muting listened fascinated.A few seconds later, Shao Fei sat up straight, and suddenly laughed: "He must be fine, he must be thinking that I will grow up, so he didn't send me money, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him!"
Xiao Muting came back to his senses and nodded.
After Shao Fei finished talking about himself, he tilted his head to look at Xiao Muting, "Captain Xiao, did you get good grades in school?"
"I look like someone with good grades?"
"Like!"
Xiao Muting pushed his forehead, "The eyes are really bad."
Shao Fei moved closer, "You look like a top student."
"Wrong." Xiao Muting said calmly, "When I was a teenager, I was keen to fight in groups and go to houses to expose tiles. If I had to say it, I should call it Street Fighter."
Shao Fei had a look of disbelief.
Xiao Muting smiled and patted his head, "Really."
Shao Fei was silent for a while, his eyes fell on Xiao Muting's left arm, "Captain Xiao, did the injury on your hand come from being a Street Fighter?"
Want to hold, but also some resistance.
Xiao Muting patted his face, "Are you hungry?"
He took a step back vigilantly, lowering his head slightly, like a wounded little beast.
Xiao Muting curled up his index finger and middle finger, and flicked the tip of his nose lightly, "Are you talking to me, are you stupid? The captain doesn't care?"
He frowned and touched the tip of his nose, "I'm a little hungry."
