Chapter 177 Section 3

Jungle station. Ma Da squatted, smiling and watching a bare-bottomed chicken cuckooing a small bug: "A paratrooper's airborne chicken? After such a fierce battle, it's still alive. It's not easy." The high school team looked at the hand-painted defense map and listened to Xiaozhuang's report. Xiao Zhuang's report came to an end: "...the drug-trafficking armed forces were wiped out, and the Langde Drug Corridor was swept into the garbage dump of history and ceased to exist! Everyone in Lone Wolf Group B was injured except me. This is the situation. End of report .”

The high school team nodded: "Not bad. You did a good job, very good!" Xiao Zhuang, whose face was covered in blood, smiled. The high school team looked up: "Except for the last one, the six of you went all out for a dog. It's not worth it. You should detonate the minefield so that you won't get hurt." "Report!" "speak." "I'd say it's not worth it." Ma Ma looked up at Xiao Zhuang.The high school team remained calm: "Tell me your reason." "What is our purpose?" "Serve the people wholeheartedly—what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Zhuang said solemnly: "That's a dog, an ordinary dog, worthless. But he is the child's emotional sustenance. His father died of drug addiction, and his mother was sold far away by his father. He has nothing but the dog named Xiaobao. We can detonate the minefield, and the loss is nothing more than the dog. But, what about the child? His only emotional sustenance is gone." The high school team looked at him: "Go ahead." "We don't want to see him like that, because, we are people's soldiers. We serve the people wholeheartedly, so we have to save that dog."

The high school team looked at him: "Is this your reason?" "Yes. We don't hesitate to sacrifice for this dog. Because we don't want to see the child's only emotional sustenance die in the flames." The high school team nodded: "Disband, you go and stay with them. They withdraw from the operation, you wait in the hospital, there is a task for you alone." Xiao Zhuang stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!" The high school team returned the gift. Xiao Zhuang walked up to the airborne chicken, pulled out his dagger and cut the rope. He picked up the naked chicken and said, "Grey Wolf, I'll go first."

Mata nodded with a smile.Xiao Zhuang turned around and left with the chicken in his arms, and the naked chicken cooed in terror in his arms. Ma Ma looks at the high school team: "They are right." The high school team nodded: "Many times, my inertial thinking may not be correct." "They're younger than us, older than us." "Also value feelings more than us... Right, I was wrong. Nothing is worth it or not, everything is worth it when the people need it." "Leave two people in group A and clean up the battlefield. Pack up the things here, and we will organize the transportation later."

Ma Da nodded, turned around and arranged to go. In the open space of the cottage, five stretchers were parked, and the health workers were checking the wounded.The mountain people surrounded them. Xia Lan walked in with the patriarch.The patriarch held the wine glass, dipped his fingers in the wine, sprinkled it on the faces of each team member, and muttered. Xia Lan explained: "He said—God of War, thank you for giving us your precious sons. May they be safe, live long, and return victorious every time they go out." Geng Jihui smiled: "Tell him—we are the people's soldiers."

Xia Lan translated it.The patriarch nodded and muttered something. "He said - Mao Zedong sent you here, and you are the best army." "We're not doing enough. Tell him the militia platoon mustn't stop training." Xia Lan translated it.What the patriarch said, Xia Lan translated it again: "Langde militia platoon will never stop training. Thank you for teaching us the ability to defend our homeland. We will always remember you. To commemorate that brave soldier, that This well will always be called Ostrich Well from now on!" The team members were all happy.Deng Zhenhua said in shock: "Damn it! Who? Who did it? Tell the patriarch that I'm an ostrich?"

Xia Lan covered her mouth happily.The patriarch waved his hands seriously and said something, and the villagers responded, shouting loudly. Xia Lan laughed loudly: "They are talking about—ostrich, the god of war in our cottage! From now on, our best hunter is called an ostrich hunter!" The players laughed. Deng Zhenhua was shocked: "Who are these—" Xiao Zhuang walked in holding the airborne chicken. "My airborne chicken—" Xiao Zhuang squatted down: "He's still alive." The airborne chicken cooed. Geng Jihui smiled: "After this fierce battle, it is still alive! It seems that it should not die."

Old Pao laughed: "It has no reason to die." Qiangzi laughed: "Let it live!" Shi Dafan chuckled: "Shall we take it home? Keep it in the cooking class?" Deng Zhenhua said: "That's a deal, no one is allowed to eat it!" Xiao Zhuang smiled: "As long as you don't steal it, who will eat it? Its hair will grow, this is a strong hen." He hugged the airborne chicken: "It——is the mascot of our group B gone." Shi Dafan chuckled: "Ostrich, you have fallen out of favor." Deng Zhenhua looked at the airborne chicken and said affectionately: "You are a brave—strategic airborne chicken!"

The players roared with laughter. Ma Da came over with a few members of Group A: "Time is running out, let's go." The atmosphere instantly became tense.The team members silently lifted the stretcher and walked out of the cottage.In order not to expose the large-scale anti-drug operation in the future, they cannot use air transportation, and the wounded can only be carried back on foot. The villagers followed the patriarch silently to see him off. Xia Lan followed the team, turned her head and waved. Dabao hugged Xiaobao and watched the procession pass by anxiously.Xiao Zhuang came over to squat down with the airborne chicken in his arms, patted his clothes, and straightened the armband on his chest.

Dabao looked at Xiaozhuang: "Brother Xiaozhuang, do you really want to leave?" "Well, we should go." "Will I ever see you again?" "Study hard, work out hard, grow up to be a good rookie—we'll see each other again." Xiaozhuang smiled, took off his black beret and put it on top of Dabao's head: "Remember, you told me yourself, you must be a good rookie!" "Ok." Xiao Zhuang touched his face, then Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao licked Xiao Zhuang's hand, whining. Xiao Zhuang stood up holding the airborne chicken, saluted on his bald head, turned and left. Da Bao hugged Xiao Bao, raised his right hand and solemnly stuck it next to the black beret that almost covered his eyes, saluting. The team entered the mountain.
