Sitting quietly in the dim room, looking at his blurred hands, Xu Tao had an inexplicable expression on his face. After seeing off Meng Zhan, Xu Tao has been sitting on the stool, sitting quietly So, how many years has it been since Xu Tao experienced the feeling of being trusted from the bottom of his heart for the first time?For the first time, a person who has no blood relationship with me trusts me so much. This kind of trust is something that I have never been able to obtain no matter how hard I pursued.

The slight sourness spread slowly, making the whole bottom of my heart seem to be soaked, the hot eye sockets made Xu Tao chuckle, and slowly clenched his fists, the tighter he clenched, the light that was once hidden in the bottom of his heart was shining in this infinite place. The human night was revealed for the first time, stood up and moved together, Xu Tao walked to the bed, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, with a smile on his mouth, and fell asleep slowly, at five o'clock, Xu Tao opened his eyes, Smiled, got up quickly, made the bed, and tidied up the housework. Although he only slept for less than three hours, perhaps the pressure in his heart was relieved. Although he lacked sleep, Xu Tao was in a good state of mind.

Putting on his clothes and carrying a heavy load on his back, Xu Tao quietly left the dormitory, and just walked into the training ground, Xu Tao saw a familiar figure running and jumping in the training ground, with a smile on his face, moving his body, Xu Tao began to run at a constant speed After getting up, when Xu Tao and Meng Zhan, who were running in the training ground at the same time, ran together, they looked at each other and smiled. Xu Tao continued to run at his own speed, while Meng Zhan continued to accelerate. Deliberately jump over one obstacle after another.

Meng Zhan's vigorous and flexible figure made Xu Tao a little envious, but Xu Tao also knew that he would never reach Meng Zhan's level no matter what.

After training at six o'clock, Meng Zhan and Xu Tao left the training ground together. Meng Zhan looked at Xu Tao who was wiping his sweat with a white towel on his neck as he walked, "Xiao Tao, Team Zhou just said to let you participate in the big competition. Did you say goodbye?" of?"

Xu Tao thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, I don't remember that. When Team Zhou told me, I was a little confused. I don't remember what was said later."

Xu Tao's words made Meng Zhan feel a little dumbfounded, this person knocked Xu Tao, Xu Tao laughed, and wiped his face vigorously, "Captain, don't think I'm stupid, since I was a child, I haven't met once The outstanding thing, you said that I once won the first place in the big competition, but I know my own family affairs, and I know how I got the first place, but this time is different. It is definitely impossible to have a fixed pattern during the competition At this time, under the morning light, Xu Tao's face was peaceful, he lost yesterday's hesitation and gained a trace of unidentified firmness, this kind of Xu Tao made Meng Zhan happy, but at the same time, he also gained a love. In Meng Zhan's heart, Xu Tao He is not a timid person, maybe he has no self-confidence, but the environment in which he grew up created Xu Tao's personality. How many hardships did Xu Tao pay for getting to where he is today?

Meng Zhan looked at Xu Tao who was walking beside him, showing a hint of a smile. Even if Xu Tao didn't say Meng Zhan, he knew what the contest would be like. He turned his head back to look at Xu Tao, and looked at the distant sky with half a smile on his face. Sun, "So what? In the face of absolute strength, everything is fake. Xu Tao, starting from today, I will follow the team members for desert simulation training every morning. In the afternoon, you will go to the General Hospital of the Military Region to follow the surgical director on the operating table. His skills are already top-notch among the medical soldiers, but not enough."

Xu Tao nodded vigorously, "I know, I will work hard." Meng Zhan stopped and looked at Xu Tao who was still sweating in the morning light, "No, it's not hard work, but I will do it, Xu Tao, learn to believe, believe in yourself , Believe in your comrades-in-arms, you must remember that you can entrust your back to me at any time, and I will be your most solid backing."

Looking at Meng Zhan who was facing the sun and facing his calm narration, the calm words contained the most sincere support and encouragement, Xu Tao smiled, with a confident smile, and with a smile that gradually learned to believe, and stretched his arms towards Meng Zhan. Stretching out his fist, Meng Zhan also stretched out his right fist with a smile, and there was a soft bang. From this moment on, the two people back to back leaned on each other and walked through all the ups and downs in the future.

Meng Zhan and Xu Tao, who were looking at each other, withdrew their fists. Hahaha laughter sounded. Meng Zhan stepped forward and hugged Xu Tao hard, "Come on."

Xu Tao gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, his eyes flashed the obsession to die for his confidant, and it happened from this moment that Meng Zhan left a mark in Xu Tao's heart that no one could erase. Ink color.

After breakfast, Xu Tao went back to the team to say hello to the captain, and came to the second training ground next to the dormitory with the undismantled load on his back. Just as he walked in, he saw a neat team of 20 people standing in the training ground. Everyone was fully armed. Xu Tao walked in and stood beside Wang Jin, "Didn't the captain say training? What are you doing standing there?"

Wang Jin glanced at Meng Zhan who was talking to Zhou Wei in a low voice, then turned to look at Xu Tao, "We will conduct simulated training at the seventh training ground in the next month."

The seventh training ground?Xu Tao is actually a little curious about this training ground. There are eleven training grounds in the fifth battalion, and the other ten are all open-air. It is a fully enclosed training hall. Xu Tao doesn't know what's in it, or even the exact location. Even though Xu Tao has been in the fifth battalion for nearly two years, but in the fifth battalion, apart from the nearby training camps and health teams, dormitories, Xu Tao really doesn't know much about the cafeteria and other places.

Xu Tao seemed to look at Wang Jin, "Brother, have you ever been in the seventh training ground?" Wang Jin frowned, "Yes, the last time we went in was three years ago, it was just to simulate the tropical rainforest Enter the combat method once, the training ground is the most valuable place in our fifth battalion, it is full of high technology, even the guns and ammunition are the most advanced."

Xu Tao was surprised, but when he thought of the big competition that would start in less than a month, Xu Tao understood why he used the seventh training ground, which was not easy to use. The seven military regions seemed harmonious, but private competitions never stopped. However, after all, for soldiers, honor is above all else.

"Don't think about it too much. Anyway, there is only one health worker in each military region, and there are seven people in seven military regions. With your skills, you will not be at the bottom." The slight surprise on Xu Tao's face made Wang Jin quickly change the subject. It's not that everyone can't see the big blisters running down the mouth, but for those who have already received the official competition, no one can help Xu Tao with the problems he will face. At this time, Xu Tao must think clearly and relieve the pressure by himself .

Wang Jin's comforting words made Xu Tao smile, knowing that his comrades were worried by his shameful performance these days, he looked at Wang Jin with smiling eyes, "Brother, I'm fine, I'm thinking about it, although Xu Tao dare not call me I say that I am the number one, but I have also come out through hard training, and I will definitely be able to do it.”

It was the first time for Xu Tao to say what he could do so firmly, and Wang Jin laughed with such leaking confidence, and patted Xu Tao on the shoulder vigorously, "Taozi, brother, I believe you can believe this, you Xu Tao is like this. After speaking, he stretched out his thumb, Xu Tao smiled and nodded, "I am."

Although Wang Jin didn't know what happened to make Xu Tao change, but such a confident Xu Tao made Wang Jin feel a burst of joy. He had never seen such Xu Tao before. He had a calm appearance with a confident smile, worthy of it, worthy of it It was the trump card they called in private, and Xu Tao, who was confident, had already begun to have the momentum of a trump card.

And Meng Zhan, who had discussed the details with Zhou Wei, looked up and saw Xu Tao talking to Wang Jin with a confident smile, and Wang Jin gave his thumbs up after answering, a smile flashed in Meng Zhan's eyes, good job Wang Jin.

He glanced at Xu Tao again, looked back, and Meng Zhan put away the slight ease on his face, looked at the players who stood up automatically, and swept all the players one by one, "Everyone already knows what we need to do next, the seventh training Everything has been prepared on the field. In the next 20 days, I will increase the amount of training. Not only you, but also me as the captain. Everyone is equally unfamiliar with the desert, but unfamiliarity is not the reason for us to retreat. We are soldiers , we are the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion, with our reputation as a guarantee, we are the strongest Chinese Communists."

Meng Zhan answered with a loud roar, "We are the strongest Chinese soldiers."

Followed the team directly bypassing all the barracks, and came to a place that Xu Tao had never walked before. He had always known how big the Fifth Battalion was, but until this moment, Xu Tao didn't know how big the Fifth Battalion was. They came directly in a jeep. I sat in the car for 10 minutes. Although the speed was not fast, it was still a car.

Jumping off the jeep, Xu Tao looked at a big house with a gray and inconspicuous appearance. It was indeed a big house. It was at least bigger than his family's nearly three-acre yard. Xu Tao didn't go around the training ground. , I don’t know the exact area, but it can be roughly two and a half times as big as his own yard. Xu Tao is really curious, what is inside?

With a creaking sound, Xu Tao looked at the big iron gate that had been pulled open, and followed the team members into the iron gate. There was another gate, but it was not the closed iron gate outside, but a security door. Zhou Weina Taking out the key to open the anti-theft door, Xu Tao walked in again. This time, the scene in the seventh training ground was exposed. Looking at the training ground in front of him, Xu Tao's eyes widened in surprise. It was empty, completely empty, that is, He couldn't see the high technology that Wang Jin mentioned, nor could he see any equipment obstacles necessary for the training place. Xu Tao turned to look at Wang Jin with doubts on his face, and it was Wang Jin who answered Xu Tao. The eyeballs seemed to be falling out, Xu Tao touched Wang Jin, "Brother, what about high technology?"

Wang Jin swallowed a mouthful of spit, shook his head, and was also full of doubts, "I remember clearly, there were a lot of various instruments in it at that time, why are they gone?"

Xu Tao had never been in before, so he could only shake his head, stare straight at Meng Zhan, and Meng Zhan clapped his hands, "Okay, don't be curious, this is a desert simulation training ground specially prepared for you. Equipped and ready to enter."

Although each team member was full of doubts, they still obeyed the order to organize their equipment, and followed Meng Zhan into the arena.

The people who thought they had to wait for the password had just walked to the middle of the field when suddenly there was a humming sound from nowhere, and sand and dust began to fly around the training field. The coming sand and dust blinded the eyes, and the flat straight line under the feet, after being fascinated, when you bumped into me and I bumped into him, suddenly seemed to be wrapped around the feet, and every step was so strenuous , and after Xu Tao's eyes were fascinated, he fell to the ground suddenly after being bumped by someone, but there was a softness, Xu Tao's heart moved slightly, and he carefully narrowed his eyes and looked at his subordinates. , It was not hard soil, but sand, with a little bit of moist sand, Xu Tao understood why the place was suddenly empty.

The sand and dust kept flying, more and more, the sight in front of him was completely blurred, and slowly, Xu Tao felt the temperature was getting higher and higher, and after a while, sweat flowed down the helmet, Xu Tao heard Hearing Meng Zhan's loud roar, he walked forward slowly. After walking for a long time, Xu Tao felt that his legs were very tired. , some grinding feet,

My eyes hurt a little after being captivated by the sand, and I raised my hand to rub the tears that flowed naturally, but the rubbed eyes were even more uncomfortable. bottle of water, poured out the water, rinsed his palms, and began to wash his eyes. When he finally opened his eyes that were fascinated by the sand and red from being rubbed, Xu Tao found Meng Zhan standing in front of the team with a dark face.

Zhou Weihe and an elegant middle-aged man stood beside Meng Zhan. All the people opened their eyes and automatically stood up again to look at Meng Zhan. Meng Zhan was also a little angry in his heart, knowing that the team members had never seen the desert, but they did not. Just thinking of the sandstorms that are often encountered in the desert will make the team members completely at a loss. They all seem to be headless chickens. You hit me, I hit you, and no one regrouped.

Although he knew that this was an inevitable process, Meng Zhan couldn't bear the poor adaptability of his team members. He looked at the gray-faced players below with a gloomy face, "Chen Guang came out."

Chen Guangfa took a step forward and stood in front of Meng Zhan. Meng Zhan looked at Chen Guangfa with a dark face, "What is your duty?"

Chen Guangfa straightened his back and replied loudly, "When there is no commander, I am the commander."

Chen Guangfa's answer did not make Meng Zhan's anger subside, but instead increased, "How did you do it?"

Chen Guangfa's eyes flashed with shame at the question, which was obviously lowered by two tones, "Answer." Meng Zhan let out a loud roar that made Chen Guangfa raise his slightly lowered head, "I completely lost the response that a commander should have and the separation from the organization team." danger."

Meng Zhan stared at Chen Guangfa, "Thirty laps with full weight, [-] push-ups, [-]-meter leapfrog, return to the team." After finishing the punishment of Chen Guangfa, Meng Zhan's eyes fell on Wang Jin, "Wang Jin and get out."

Chen Guangfa returned to the team, Wang Jin stepped forward, "What is your duty?"

"Reconnaissance of military targets." Wang Jin's answer made Meng Zhan stare angrily, and stepped forward, "How did you do it?"

"Completely at a loss." Wang Jin replied loudly, making Meng Zhan's eyes a little red, "As the only scout in the team, not only did you fail to shoulder the due responsibilities of a scout, but instead This is just a simulation, if you encounter this kind of situation in the mission, can the safety of the team members be entrusted to an unqualified scout like you?"

With guilt on Wang Jin's face, he looked straight at Meng Zhan without dodging, "Thirty kilometers of armed cross-country, 10000 meters of obstacles." After finishing the punishment of Wang Jin, Meng Zhan suppressed the anger in his heart, and retracted the awe that fell on Wang Jin. People's eyes fell on each of the team members who were in a state of embarrassment, "You are soldiers. When faced with an emergency, the first thing you think of is not to find a way out and change the disadvantages you face as quickly as possible, but to be a You are at a loss like headless flies, can you complete the tasks entrusted to you by the motherland? Can you take on the heavy responsibility of defending the motherland?"

Meng Zhan's loud roar echoed in the closed training ground. The players with shame on their faces but fierce and resolute eyes made Zhou Wei standing next to Meng Zhan and the invited expert Yang Xiu also show a hint of admiration Look, what soldiers are afraid of is not making mistakes, but being bloodless.

Zhou Wei walked up to Meng Zhan, showed a friendly smile, and patted Meng Zhan. Meng Zhan glanced at Zhou Wei who was standing beside him, his expression was still dark, but he didn't stop Zhou Wei, but took a step back slightly. .

Zhou Wei looked at the straight team members and smiled, "Everyone, don't be discouraged, everyone doesn't understand the situation in the desert, now I will introduce to you, this is the expert Yang Wei who was specially invited back by our Fifth Battalion from K University Professor Xiu Yi, don't underestimate Professor Yang, Professor Yang has been in and out of various deserts by himself four times, it can be said that Professor Yang has the deepest understanding of deserts in our country."

Yang Xiu also walked up to the team members and smiled, "It's not as powerful as Captain Zhou said. The desert is a mystery. No one can fully understand it. It can also be said that the desert is changeable. I can only pass on my experience to everyone. , but those are just ideas on paper, what will happen when you actually enter the desert, you still need to understand and explore by yourself.”

Next, Yang Xiu also slowly narrated all the common sense of the desert that he knew in detail, because according to the time, the time when the team entered the desert was the hottest time of the year, and Yang Xiu also gave a targeted explanation A series of problems that will arise, such as the high temperature, how to drink water, deal with small flying caterpillar ticks, nocturnal sleep, desert animals, identification of direction, survival and so on.

Two hours passed quickly with Yang Xiuyi's narration, when Yang Xiuyi stopped talking and showed a gentle smile, "These are my experiences, but what you will face, you still have to overcome it by yourself. "

When Yang Xiuyi's voice fell, there was a burst of applause, and the grateful and respectful military salute was aimed at Yang Xiuyi. Yang Xiuyi smiled and turned to look at Zhou Wei, "There should be a military doctor accompanying the team. .”

Zhou Wei looked at Xu Tao, "Xu Tao, come here." Xu Tao stepped out quickly and walked in front of Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei pointed to Xu Tao and looked at Yang Xiuyi, "This is our team health worker."

Yang Xiu also glanced at Xu Tao, took out a notebook from the backpack on the ground and handed it to Xu Tao, "Here are some detailed records I recorded on how to deal with emergencies, you go back and take a good look, the most feared thing in the desert It’s not just the animals and bugs, but also the damage to the body caused by the high temperature, here are some of the situations I’ve encountered.”

Xu Tao took it, and solemnly paid a military salute, "Thank you, Professor Yang." Xu Tao who put down his arms said lightly that he was grateful. This detailed record is too important to him. Yang Xiu smiled and shook his head, "No need. , for you fighters, it is not easy for the country to train you, I just try my best."

Sending Yang Xiuyi and Zhou Wei away, Meng Zhan gave the slogan to continue training. The simulated training continued until twelve o'clock at noon. Clean up, have lunch, and have an hour to rest. Meng Zhan sent Xu Tao to the General Hospital of the Military Region and handed it over to Chen Chaojun, the director of surgery. Xu Tao with faint traces of dust, "Study hard, don't be nervous, just do your best, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, just remember that you are the best."

Xu Tao smiled and nodded, "I know, Captain, you go back, I will study hard." Meng Zhan rubbed the top of Xu Tao's head with a smile, Xu Tao tilted his head to avoid, Meng Zhan retracted his arms and left with a smile, watching Looking at Meng Zhan's tall and straight back, Xu Tao showed a gentle smile.

The author has something to say:

mid-September 2014

Another hygienist competition in the military region, Xu Tao participated in the final assessment of personnel selection for the first time on behalf of the Fifth Battalion after he was officially transferred to the instructor. Looking at the young and immature faces, Xu Tao felt a little emotional. It is also from here to walk into the compound full of blood and honor.

Seeing the emotion on Xu Tao's face, Meng Zhan, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help being a little funny, and whispered in Xu Tao's ear, "What are you thinking? You still have an emotion on your face."

Xu Tao turned his head and looked at Meng Zhan beside him, "Seeing how young they are, I feel really old."

Meng Zhan laughed softly, "You are 7 years younger than me, and you are older, so I am not half buried in loess."

Xu Tao glanced at the commander sitting upright, and lightly kicked Meng Zhan under the table, "Blind, what's half buried."

Meng Zhan smiled, and gently held Xu Tao's hand with the hand under the table, "I won't talk about it in the future."

A smile flashed in Xu Tao's eyes, and he nodded gently, "Look at the game." Meng Zhan smiled, and turned his eyes to the game scene. The busy figures below reminded Meng Zhan of Xu Tao at that time, and he probably glanced at the scene. Circle, nodded secretly, with pride in his eyes, Xu Tao is still the best, the current hygienists are much worse, the big competition has been adjusted to every three years, last time their fifth battalion did not recruit new people, I don’t know if they can find them this time .

Suddenly, Meng Zhan frowned, and a flying figure made Meng Zhan quickly recall that his own Xu Tao also had such an experience in that game, and looked back at Xu Tao, "Did it hurt at that time?" broken?"

Xu Tao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Meng Zhan with some confusion. Meng Zhan vaguely pointed to the soldiers who fell down on the field. Xu Tao looked over and saw only the soldiers who got up. Falling down, recalling, Xu Tao smiled, "Forget it, it shouldn't hurt, it's been so many years, who will remember."

Xu Tao's indifferent words let Meng Zhan's frown loosen, yes, didn't he know that his fool is not a person who can hold grudges, many things are unforgivable in his own opinion, but for Xu Tao, it is completely unforgivable. I don't care, maybe it's this rare open-mindedness that makes Xu Tao more and more people around him appreciate him. Xu Tao really treats every caring person with his heart.

The scenes of these years flashed across the bottom of my heart, Meng Zhan had a touch of nostalgia on his face, he came back to his senses and quietly shook the palm of his hand that the fool didn't draw out. Although it was full of passion at that time, Meng Zhan liked it more now. This kind of peace full of warmth, people like them who have gone through passionate years, the last thing they want in this life is to live a peaceful and peaceful life.
