Chapter 84

After the Spring Festival, the Longsword Special Brigade of the Central Theater Command, in conjunction with the Public Security Bureau within its jurisdiction, implemented an anti-drug operation code-named "Lanfeng".Xiao Jincheng, as the captain of the anti-narcotics detachment of the provincial department, led the team deep into the tiger's den. When retreating, he wasted time to rescue the trapped special forces. He was seriously injured and unconscious.

Xiao Muting frowned deeply, his clenched fists showed white joints.

Ning Jue said again: "The above means to let you come back first."

Xiao Muting's pupils were clenched, and his heart seemed to be grasped by a rough hand—in this seemingly humane sentence, he had already received a hint of bad news.

His eye sockets were swollen, and his throat seemed to be strangled. After a few seconds of silence, he asked in a calm voice, "Tell me the truth."

Ning Jue sighed softly, "Jin Cheng, he may not be able to hold on anymore."

After the conjecture was confirmed, Xiao Muting felt chills all over his body, and his brain was buzzing.

So this call was to tell him to go back and see his brother for the last time.

After a while, Ning Jue said again: "The old chief has been guarding the hospital non-stop. Mu Ting, they all need you."

Xiao Muting took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the sorrow filled with bloody smell, his voice trembling slightly: "I understand. Over here..."

"Don't worry, the next batch of peacekeeping troops will take over from you in March." Ning Jue said, "During your return to China, Team Liang will replace you and assist Ye Ying in his work. Team Liang has been in charge of selection and training for the past few years. He is very familiar with the members of the Second Squadron. Luo Feng and I have already talked with him, and he is willing to go to Tomanka."

Xiao Muting closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, and said hoarsely after a long time: "Okay."

In the afternoon of that day, Xiao Muting took a military plane to return to the country. Except for Ye Chao and Shao Fei, no one in the camp knew the reason for his sudden return to the country.

On the way to the military airport, Shao Fei drove the car.Xiao Muting looked at the dilapidated and desolate scene outside the window, half of his body was numb and unconscious.

Many years ago, he and Xiao Jincheng joked about "treating each meeting as the last", and they would hug each other tightly every time they parted, saying how much they cherished each other.Anti-drug work is very dangerous, and anti-drug police officers have the highest death rate in the line of duty. In fact, he has long been mentally prepared that "Jin Cheng may sacrifice in the future".He has been walking on the tip of a knife all these years, has witnessed the death of his comrades-in-arms, and even suffered serious injuries himself, but the sudden bad news still stunned him, and it was even unbearable.

That was his younger brother who was three years younger than him and who had been protected by him since he was a child.

Ning Jue was right to call him back at this time, the Chinese Battalion does not need an officer who has lost his focus.And if Xiao Jincheng leaves here, he will regret for life if he fails to see him for the last time.What's more, there was his elderly father in the ward.

He rested his elbows on the window sill, rubbing the space between his brows with his fingers.

Just leaving like this, really worried about Shao Fei.

Recently, the situation in the northern part of Tomanca has indeed stabilized. The riots have subsided, and even the demonstrations that were staged every day in the past are less.The burden on the medical team has been greatly reduced, and several wards that were overcrowded in the past have been vacated.Years ago, soldiers from the infantry unit and the engineering unit took turns to help the medical unit, but now the medical staff can also fight with the cooking team and the engineering unit.

But even so, the battlefield is still a battlefield, and it is not the same as a peaceful and stable country.

Xiao Muting turned his head and looked at Shao Fei seriously.

Shao Fei's eyes were very red, and he cried when he got the news. Although he tried to calm down now, his hand holding the steering wheel was still shaking slightly.

I don't know if it's because Xiao Jincheng treated him friendly and kindly during the only meeting, or because Xiao Jincheng is Xiao Muting's younger brother. He has a very good impression of this beautiful anti-narcotics policeman.Hearing that the other party was in danger, tears burst out uncontrollably in an instant, with grief and sorrow mixed in his chest, he was even more flustered than Xiao Muting.

He still remembered hearing Qi Nanxu's words and ran to Xiao Muting's dormitory to see which "beauty" was hiding inside. Xiao Jincheng grabbed his waist to keep him from falling, and said to him with a smile: "I am also Team Xiao." .”

After New Year's Eve, his relationship with Xiao Muting took a big step forward.While he was ecstatic, he couldn't help worrying about the future. When he told Xiao Muting the thoughts he had accumulated in his heart a few days ago, Xiao Muting rubbed the back of his neck and said, "My father won't accept it easily, but don't worry too much. , I will convince him. As for Jin Cheng, he likes you very much. I mentioned it to him a while ago, and he probably already guessed it. "

Shao Fei raised his eyes, "Guess it? Then what's his reaction? Will he tell your father?"

"You treat him as a three-year-old kid, complaining to his parents about everything he hears?" Xiao Muting smiled: "From childhood to adulthood, he always stood by my side."

Shao Fei leaned back on Xiao Muting's lap, and asked enthusiastically: "Last time, he said he used to beat you all the time, and he joined the army only if you couldn't beat him."

Xiao Muting pinched the tip of Shao Fei's nose, and said softly, "Do you believe this too?"

Shao Fei just came back from the outside, even though he was wearing a woolen scarf, the tip of his nose was still cold, so he rubbed it against Xiao Muting's hand, and because his body was propped up, the small box accidentally fell out of his trouser pocket.

Xiao Muting picked it up and looked at it, he couldn't laugh or cry.Shao Fei snatched it back with a blushing face, stuffed it into his clothes, "Captain, you, listen to my explanation!"

"The peacekeepers carry condoms with them." Xiao Muting said, "How do you explain it?"

Shao Fei looked at Xiao Muting anxiously, "I" didn't say anything for a long time.Xiao Muting also looked at him, his eyes were gentle and smiling, and there was a bit of joy in watching a good show, which was in stark contrast to his embarrassed, nervous and anxious eyes.

Looking at each other for a moment, Shao Fei was defeated, holding the box in his pocket, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to become a full-time employee as soon as possible to buy five insurances and one housing fund to enjoy employee benefits."

Xiao Muting couldn't help laughing, hugged his head, and kissed the hair on the top of his head.

Such a beautiful and hopeful day was interrupted after only one week.Shao Fei didn't complain about Xiao Muting's return to China. He was not an unreasonable person. It was a regret that he couldn't see his brother for the last time. But that's no wonder, the objective conditions were simply not met.And now Xiao Jincheng is still lying in the intensive care unit—maybe he is still being rescued, the captain has to go back because of emotion and reason.

The kind of reluctance to part with the sweetheart for a while is almost negligible in the face of the cruel farewell that may be coming.

Thinking of the grief that Xiao Muting was enduring, Shao Fei's breathing became stagnant, his emotions suddenly lost control, he slammed on the brakes, and lay on the steering wheel panting for breath.

They are all flesh and blood brothers whose blood is thicker than water, he didn't want Xiao Muting to experience the pain he felt when he lost Shao Yu back then.He wanted Xiao Jincheng to wake up quickly and stand in front of Xiao Muting properly, even if he couldn't wake up, he didn't stop breathing and heartbeat.

Many people say that if a well-behaved person suddenly becomes a vegetable, it is better to die, so as to save himself from suffering and hurt his family.

Not at all.Shao Fei thought, if Shao Yu could survive eight years ago, he would be willing to take care of him for the rest of his life.

For some reason, the shadows of Xiao Jincheng and Shao Yu overlapped together, and Shao Fei stared blankly ahead, feeling cold all over.

Until a pair of hands wrapped around his shoulders, pulling him into a warm, familiar embrace.

Xiao Muting said softly: "You protect yourself here, don't worry me. As for Jin Cheng, I... I am mentally prepared."

Buried in Xiao Muting's arms, Shao Fei sobbed loudly, holding Xiao Muting's military uniform tightly with his hands, blaming himself but not knowing what to do.

It should be him who came to comfort the captain, and he should be the one who held the captain in his arms.But the fact is just the opposite, it was the captain who came to comfort him.

"Okay, don't cry." Xiao Muting patted his shoulder for fear, "Can I still drive?"

"Yes!" He wiped away his tears, choked up and said, "Captain, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Xiao Muting nodded, "Let's go, don't waste the time."

The jeep stopped at the airport, and Xiao Muting was about to leave.Shao Feihong hugged him around his waist and pressed him on his shoulders.

During this journey, and when he was in the camp before, Xiao Muting didn't show much sadness, but Shao Fei knew that the captain's heart must be so painful that it was unbearable.If this is not the case, even if returning home is an order from above and the old chief's intention, the captain will not let go of the mission and go back.The pain of the death of a loved one can only be understood by those who have experienced it.He wants to share, but knows that he can't share at all, and knows that any words will be overshadowed.He had no choice but to hug Xiao Muting tightly—this seemed to be the only thing he could do.

The two just cuddled like this, and finally Xiao Muting moved his body first, fastened the loose scarf for Shao Fei, his eyes were so deep that he seemed to want to suck Shao Fei into his eyes.

After a while, he patted Shao Fei on the shoulder, "Wait for me for a while."

Shao Fei watched him run towards a peacekeeping force not far away, said a few words to the officer standing in front of the infantry fighting vehicle, then turned around and waved.Shao Fei immediately ran over, "Captain?"

"Go up, they will take you back to the camp." Xiao Muting said, "The jeep stops here first, and will drive back when there is a mission to deliver supplies."

Shao Fei's heart felt sore all of a sudden, the captain still worried about his safety at this time, and asked the infantry from other countries to escort him.

"Don't cry." Xiao Muting's thumb passed by the corner of his eyes, "Team Liang will arrive tonight, you have to follow his arrangement. You are the captain, you must protect yourself, understand?"

"I'm not the captain." Shao Fei stared at Xiao Muting: "You are!"

"When I'm not here, you are." Xiao Muting smiled forcedly, and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "I have to go, come, give the captain a high five."

Shao Fei breathed hard to hold back the tears in his eyes, Xiao Muting had already stretched out his hand to him, his fingers and palms were calloused from years of being with guns.

He lowered his head and let out a muffled grunt, then raised his hand and slapped it suddenly, thinking he could pull Xiao Muting into his arms, but when he touched that hand, he fell forward heavily.

Xiao Muting patted his back and breathed on his neck: "Take care, wait for me to come back."

When the military plane took off, the simple military airport reverberated with a deafening roar, Shao Fei raised his head, and repeated to himself what he had just said to Xiao Muting: "Captain, don't worry, I will protect myself and everyone in the Second Squadron! "

The world of Tomanka is as lifeless as ever. The returning military planes penetrated the thick clouds and flew towards peace; while the infantry fighting vehicles on the ground pulled out a cloud of dust, and together with the peacekeepers it carried, they drove towards the chaos without hesitation.
