Chapter 287 Section IX

October 1, 1997. The National Day of the 48th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is the first barracks open day of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Garrison in Hong Kong. In the large playground of the Stanley Barracks in Hong Kong, the sound of killing was loud. Captain Lin Rui, holding a 56 semi-automatic rifle with an open bayonet, led 200 infantry soldiers to perform an assassination exercise. The nimble soldiers moved in unison, and the sharp bayonet stabbed and stabbed in the air, and their flexible steps followed a unified rhythm. , even the slogan is a sound:

"Kill-kill-kill-..." There were bursts of applause on the viewing platform, and more than 5,000 representatives of more than 100 Hong Kong associations who came to visit expressed their amazement at the superb martial arts and tough style of the PLA soldiers. Standing in the crowd, Xu Xi looked proudly at Lin Rui, who was at the leader's position, and applauded excitedly. Weapons display.Lin Rui, in camouflage uniform, was wearing a Kevlar helmet and military boots, standing beside the weapon.Enthusiastic Hong Kong residents experienced domestic light weapons under Tian Xiaoniu's introduction in Cantonese. Lin Rui stood in his place with a smile.

"Captain." Lin Rui turned his face away, his eyes widened. Xu Xi took off her sunglasses and looked at him with a smile. Lin Rui's face was filled with uncontrollable surprise, he opened his mouth and said, "Can I help you?" Xu Xi smiled sweetly and said in English: "Captain, you are a handsome warrior. Your girlfriend will be proud of you, she must be very happy." "Thank you, miss." Lin Rui suppressed his emotions, "You are also very beautiful, your boyfriend will be proud of you." Over there, the middle-aged man who followed Xu Xi approached the head of the Hong Kong Garrison and whispered a few words.The chief nodded and waved: "Lin Rui!"

Lin Rui glanced at Xu Xi, smiled and ran over to salute: "Here!" "You, go with this gentleman and meet a guest." The chief said nothing else, "For half an hour, don't leave the barracks, don't meet reporters." Lin Rui felt very strange, looking at this middle-aged man wearing sunglasses. "Execute the order." There is no room for discounting the chief's words. "Yes!" Lin Rui raised his hands in salute, turned around and followed the middle-aged man. The secluded forest behind the Stanley Barracks.The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with this place, and Lin Rui followed behind with his mind full of the situation.The middle-aged man stopped, pointing to the woods ahead: "There is someone waiting for you there, I'll show you the watch outside."

Lin Rui watched in bewilderment as he walked out of the woods and stood on the side of the road, and walked in by himself.He is not afraid of any danger, but this is too strange, this is obviously his barracks? Turning around a big tree, Lin Rui still didn't see anyone. "Are you going now? It's still a while before dawn. It's not the lark but the nightingale's voice that pierces your terrified eardrums; it sings every night in the pomegranate tree yonder. Believe me, love, that It's the singing of a nightingale." Xu Xi's voice came out from behind him, and it was "Romeo and Juliet" in English.

Lin Rui stopped, and turned his head slowly: "That's the skylark heralding the dawn, not the nightingale. Look, my love, the unbeautiful morning light has already set golden threads on the clouds in the eastern sky, and the stars at night have burned out. The happy day I tiptoed to the misty peaks. I must seek life elsewhere, or stay here and die..." Xu eyelashes, long hair and shawl, walked slowly with tears on his white face: "That light is not the morning light, I know; it is a shooting star from the sun, I will hold the torch for you tonight, illuminate You're going to Mantua. So you don't have to hurry, just wait a little longer..."

Lin Rui grabbed her little hand and pulled her whole body to his chest: "Let me be caught by them, let me be executed by them; as long as it's your wish, I have no hatred..." Xu Xi's tears flowed freely on her face, covering Lin Rui's lips at once.Lin Rui hugged her delicate and weak body tightly, and kissed her lips.Xu Xi's tears flowed into his mouth, and Lin Rui sucked greedily. "I miss you..." Xu Xi said quietly. Lin Rui stroked her face and shed tears: "I miss you too." "You're really great..." Xu Xi looked into his eyes and said proudly.

"In front of you, I will always be Lin Rui who raises pigs." Lin Rui said. Xu Xi smiled, and kissed Lin Rui's neck: "You are also a little pig who can't grow up..." "Why did you come to Hong Kong?" Lin Rui asked. "For business, of course I want to come to catch up with this kind of celebration." Xu Xi said. Lin Rui looked at her strangely: "What I mean is—how can you talk to the leader of our army? It seems that ordinary businessmen can't do this?" "Then I'm not an ordinary businessman." Xu Xi smiled and nodded his nose.

Lin Rui still didn't dispel the doubts in his heart: "Xu Xi, what exactly do you do?" "Me? I'm in business, what's the matter?" Xu Xi smiled. "If your family has such great energy, I won't be able to find your information." Lin Rui said, "It's not so easy to find me. I believe that there are merchant families with such abilities in every unit of the Chinese army. Very few." "You? Did you investigate me?" Xu Xi was a little nervous. Lin Rui smiled wryly: "I have to have that ability too? I just checked in the newspapers to see if you and your father's names are listed among the well-known merchant families in our country. So I feel strange, I don't know what you are doing What?"

Xu Yan smiled: "There is a kind of businessman who makes a fortune. My father and I don't like publicity. We do business in cooperation with the country, and we also have close cooperation with the military's foreign trade department, so we have some energy in the army. Is this weird?" "Selling arms?!" Lin Rui opened his eyes wide. "Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Xi patted his face and smiled affectionately, "No! We are a legitimate business, and we will tell you later. Why, are you thinking about our business now?" "What are you talking about!" Lin Rui was in a hurry, "I still want you to leave your current business completely after you marry me, and go to the Shangou Family Hospital to be a member of the army for me! I don't want to take off my military uniform, so you are going to give it to me honestly Let me be a family member of the army!"

Xu Xi looked into his eyes and said faintly, "My love, I also want to be a family member for you... In the military camp in the valley, I work at sunrise and rest at sunset, simple and happy..." Lin Rui chuckled: "My elder brother and second brother are both married, let's get married too." Xu Xi was startled: "What did you say?" "I said let's get married." Lin Rui took a step forward and hugged her, "Marry me and follow me back to our valley! Be a family member in the family courtyard of the special brigade. I will lead the soldiers to train and perform missions. You can Teach the soldiers English! There are schools in nearby cities, and the captain can arrange for you to go to the school to teach, and your foreign language level is what their schools wish for!——We will never be separated!" Xu Xi took a step back: "Are you proposing to me?" "That's right!" Lin Rui said, "I've been waiting for a long time!" "How many times have we met?" Xu Xi smiled wryly, "Do you understand me?" "I can't bear it just because I can't see you!" Lin Rui looked into Xu Xi's eyes, "Do you know that I think you're going to explode? I can't even breathe when I miss you! You know what it feels like ?" "I know!" Xu Xi's tears flowed down, "Because I miss you the same way!" "Then why don't you marry me?" Lin Rui asked bitterly. "Lin Rui, I want to marry you!" Xu Xi cried, "I want to marry you so much! I really want to follow you to that simple and happy valley to be a family member of the army! I really want to wait for you every day Go home to eat, if you can’t come back, I’ll send you the food to your company headquarters! I’m willing to even send you to the training ground! I’m willing to let the soldiers call me sister-in-law, I like it when they call me that! I really I can cook well, I can do housework since I was a child, and I can decorate my home beautifully! You believe me, I can! I can dress simple, I like simple food, and I like to be your family member! I can’t even dream I want to marry you as your wife, I will be a good wife and mother! You trust me!" "Then let's get married, I will return to the special brigade next month!" Lin Rui's eyes lit up, "I will write a report to the brigade captain, let's get married!" "I can't marry you!" Xu Xi cried and pushed Lin Rui away. "Why?!" Lin Rui looked at her in surprise. "I can't, I can't marry you!" Xu Xi cried and shook her head. The flame in Lin Rui's eyes went out: "You still despise me for being poor..." "No!" Xu Xi cried. "You still look down on our ravine, our ordinary army compound..." Tears appeared in Lin Rui's eyes, "You don't want to part with these fancy worlds, you don't...I know, you don't...the gap between us is too big, You are a capitalist's lady, and I am a soldier of the People's Liberation Army. I know, you are reluctant to..." "No!" Xu Xi cried. "There's no need to say any more." Lin Rui closed his eyes. "I love you——" Xu Xi rushed forward and hugged Lin Rui, "I love you but I can't marry you! I can't marry you just because I love you! I don't want you to wait for me! This is too bitter Lin Rui Rui! I can't let you suffer like this—" "What's the point of not being afraid of suffering?!" Lin Rui roared angrily. "I really can't marry you..." Xu Xi cried and let go of him, "Forget about me, find a good girl... find a girl who can be your military dependent, and let her take good care of you... ...you forget about me..." Lin Rui watched her step back step by step in surprise: "What are you talking about?" "I said you forgot me!" Xu Xi cried. "It's impossible." Lin Rui shook his head, "It's not you!" "This is me!" Xu Xi cried, "This is me! I said it, you forget me!" Just as Lin Rui was about to speak, the middle-aged man over there raised his watch outside the woods with his back to them: "It's time." Lin Rui stabilized himself and straightened his military appearance: "I don't believe you said this, you Xu Xi is not such a person! I will wait for you to find me, and wait forever!" He took a deep breath to wipe the tears off his face, strode out of the woods, and turned to a standard run on the path. The sound of military boots faded away. Xu Xi cried and knelt down: "Lin Rui, I really love you..." The middle-aged man walked into the woods slowly, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xu Xi. Xu Xi took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, stood up and calmed herself down. "We should go." The middle-aged man looked at her sympathetically. Xu Xi nodded, took a deep breath and put on the sunglasses, but tears still flowed down from under the sunglasses. "You can marry him." The middle-aged man said sympathetically. "No." Xu Xi shook his head with a trembling voice, "I don't want him to suffer, I love him."
