Chapter 46 Section 12

Standing on the climbing stairs, Xu Gongdao saw He Zhijun calling him, and his face burst into laughter: "Company commander! I didn't expect this to be your unit!" The climbing rope on the railing jumped out as soon as he raised his leg.Amid the exclamation of his entourage, Xu Gongdao slid his head down, and when he was close to the ground, he exerted force on his hands, his whole body collapsed, he turned around and landed nimbly. Without any protective measures for the hands, the hands are naturally bloody.But Xu Gongdao seemed to be a different person, he threw away the rope and ran to the viewing platform.He Zhijun stood on the viewing platform, full of arrogance, straddling his hands behind his back.

Xu Gongdao strode over, stood at attention and saluted: "Xu Gouwa, Acting Deputy Company Commander of the First Company of the A Army Reconnaissance Battalion, is here to report!" He Zhijun returned the salute coldly: "Relax!" He jumped down and walked in front of Xu Gongdao: "I almost couldn't recognize you with a different vest! Goofy, you bastard, you actually came to my army to make trouble!" The following words became trembling, and the punch on Xu Gongdao's chest was still light.Xu Gongdao's body trembled, and he hugged He Zhijun and cried loudly:

"Old company commander! I thought I would never see you again in this life!" He Zhijun pushed Xu Gongdao away, and to the surprised officers and soldiers: "Do you know who he is? Don't look at what he's wearing now - 12 years ago, he was the second-class hero Xu Gouwa! During the self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang, he was the acting deputy company commander of the reconnaissance company! He Leading the reconnaissance team to circle under the nose of the enemy, and pointed out a large number of targets to our artillery!" Xu Gongdao wiped away his tears: "Don't talk about the past, old company commander. I didn't know this was your army. I want to know how dare I be so ostentatious?"

"What the fuck, where's your girl?" He Zhijun said, "Why didn't you bring it?" "I let her go back to school." Xu Gongdao said. "Come and meet me next time!" He Zhijun laughed. The world is as big as it is, and as it is as small as it is, 12 years later, veteran Xu Gouwa met his old company commander He Zhijun again.He Zhijun is still He Zhijun, Xu Gouwa is not Xu Gouwa anymore, he is now Xu Gongdao, a famous private entrepreneur. In the blink of an eye in 12 years, people's fate is so impermanent. In the evening, Xu Gongdao was the host and invited He Zhijun and Geng Hui out for dinner.Naturally, this face had to be given, so the two put on casual clothes and went out.After drinking a lot, Xu Gongdao sang "Song of the Scout" loudly:

"...Go up the mountains and go down to the plains, we are the people's scouts, dare to go up the mountain of swords and dare to break into the sea of ​​fire..." After singing, I cried, laughed, and said how much I was reluctant to leave the army but had to leave. When Xu Gongdao vomited in the toilet, Geng Hui asked He Zhijun why he left the army?He Zhijun scratched his head: "How should I put it? He has a good military quality, but his family background is not good. Grandpa is a capitalist, but later he became the director of the Ministry of Commerce of the Kuomintang. He didn't go to Taiwan in 1949 and went abroad. The old man is really serious." Patriotic, he gave his father to the nanny to take care of his hometown, saying that the Xu family must have roots in his ancestral home. His father was tortured to death at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and the nanny managed to save him, so he changed his name to Xu Gou Baby. He hid his background to join the army, and later it was found out that he was going to retire. I was a platoon leader at the time, and I saw that this kid was really good, so I asked for it. You will know the following things. He was brave in the battle, and he did what he did. I became acting deputy company commander, but I never gave him an official order from the deputy company commander after returning. At this time, the family asked him to go abroad to inherit the inheritance, and he left.”

Geng Hui nodded, such things were not uncommon in those extraordinary times. Xu Xie was picked up by Xu Gongdao's driver, and rushed in excitedly: "Lin Rui? Lin Rui is here?" He Zhijun and Geng Hui smiled wryly. It seemed that they could no longer hide it. "We are also looking for Lin Rui now." He Zhijun said, "He is a deserter." Xu Gongdao, who was drowsy from drinking, suddenly woke up. He understood the meaning of "deserter" too well. "A deserter?" Xu Xi asked. "Why did he run away?" "I don't know yet, we have already sent someone to look for him." Geng Hui said.

"Then what will you do with him?" Xu Xi asked with concern. "If it's on the battlefield, I'll kill him with one shot." He Zhijun's tone didn't sound like a joke. Xu Xi was stunned: "Isn't it true? Now there are no more wars?" "If we don't fight a war, we have to deal with it seriously. The army is the army, not a free market." Geng Hui said, "As for how to deal with it, it is our internal matter, so don't ask."
