Guo Zhan was still the same as before. No one could refute his decision in Lone Wolf's territory.
Xia Ruofei hadn't felt this way for a long time. After retiring and starting a company, he was usually the one who kept his word. Facing the overbearing Guo Zhan, Xia Ruofei didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt warm in his heart. He smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll stay for one night!"
"That's right!" Guo Zhan patted Xia Ruofei's shoulder and said, "I'm a little busy here. I'll let the civil servant accompany you around the camp. You can go and catch up with your old comrades. There's no training scheduled for these two days. Everyone is packing up."
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei nodded.
The style of a soldier was always straightforward and never sloppy. Guo Zhan directly roared, "Xiao Zhao! Come here! "
"Here!" The civil servant, Xiao Zhao, had just called the guest house to arrange a room. When he heard Guo Zhan's call, he quickly ran over.
Guo Zhan pointed at Xia Ruofei and said, "Take Squad Leader Xia around the camp. Later, find time to go to the cafeteria and let them prepare a table of dishes!"
After that, Guo Zhan took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to Xiao Zhao. "Take the money first! If it's not enough, I'll give you more! "
The food expenses in the army were fixed. The soldiers had their own food expenses. The officers had to pay for their meals. Although Guo Zhan was the commanding officer of this unit, if he wanted to treat Xia Ruofei to a meal in the cafeteria, he also had to pay. Otherwise, he would be encroaching on the soldiers' benefits.
In the past, when the leaders of the army treated people to a meal in the cafeteria, they would pay directly from the food expenses. Everyone was used to it. Now, the style of the army had changed. Even the troops under the highest command would take the initiative to pay for their meals. With such an example, naturally, no one dared to be greedy for such a small advantage.
Of course, Guo Zhan had always been very upright. He would never do such a thing. As his civil servant, Xiao Zhao naturally understood his temper. Therefore, he didn't say anything and took the money.
"Wolf King, go ahead!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Go! Don't forget to go to the cafeteria for dinner! "Guo Zhan waved his hand and said.
Xiao Zhao accompanied Xia Ruofei out of Xia Ruofei's office. When they reached the staircase, Xiao Zhao finally relaxed. It could be seen how 'terrifying' Guo Zhan was in front of these soldiers.
Xiao Zhao said to Xia Ruofei with a face full of admiration, "Squad Leader Xia, your legend has always been circulating in this military camp. Today, I've finally seen you in person!"
Little Zhao was a corporal who only joined the Lone Wolf Commandos after Xia Ruofei retired. Just like the sentinels at the entrance, many of these newbies already knew about Xia Ruofei's deeds before they joined the Lone Wolf Commandos. Only when they arrived at the Lone Wolf Commandos did they realize that Boss Xia, who was extremely popular on the internet, had actually retired from the Lone Wolf Commandos. Their sense of identity instantly changed.
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "So all the people you saw before were 'dead people'?"
Xiao Zhao waved his hand and said, "Guru, please don't scare me! Did I say something wrong because I was too excited? I wanted to say that I've finally seen you in person! Really, all the soldiers in our class idolize you! "
"Your idols should be those war heroes!" Xia Ruofei said seriously.
"You're also a war hero!" Xiao Zhao said, "Although we don't know the exact details of Mission 615, an old squad leader sacrificed himself during the mission and you made a second-class merit. This is enough to show how difficult the mission was and how outstanding your role was in the mission!"
After hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Xia Ruofei suddenly fell silent.
His thoughts were pulled back to the time when he was recalled to carry out the mission. When he was involved in this mission, the old squad leader who had raised him up, Luo Zhicheng, had already sacrificed himself. He still remembered the heart-wrenching feeling when he saw Captain Luo's remains in the hospital morgue.
Xiao Zhao seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. He looked at Xia Ruofei uneasily and said in a low voice, "Squad Leader Xia …"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said calmly, "I'm fine … Xiao Zhao, accompany me to the Hall of Honor to take a look."
"Oh … Okay, Squad Leader Xia!" Xiao Zhao said.
The two of them walked toward the Hall of Honor. Xia Ruofei was very familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the camp. He didn't need Xiao Zhao to lead the way. The two of them were very silent along the way until they reached the door of the Hall of Honor.
Xiao Zhao said, "Squad Leader Xia, please go in! I'll wait at the door. "
Xiao Zhao knew that this was not the right time to disturb Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work … Didn't Wolf King ask you to go to the canteen just now? You can go first. I'll stay here for a while. "
Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay!"
Xia Ruofei pushed open the door and walked into the Hall of Honor. He found the switch by the door with ease and turned on the light.
The place was exactly the same as before. All the furnishings and layout hadn't changed at all. Every item in this room carried the heavy honor and glorious past of this unit. Now that this unit's designation was about to disappear in the long river of history, some of the officers and soldiers had to rush thousands of miles away to change into their navy uniforms. Some of them had to take off their uniforms and become ordinary people. From then on, this extraordinary period of time would be buried deep in their hearts. Xia Ruofei looked at the pictures, certificates, and flags in front of him and couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.
Although the entire camp was packing up, the Hall of Honor was still quiet and neat. No one came to disturb them.
Guo Zhan probably hoped that after settling down in the new camp, he would move the entire Hall of Honor that carried the glorious history of this unit over!
In an eye-catching position in the Hall of Honor, there was also Xia Ruofei's own photo. This was the photo he took after he was recalled to participate in the 615 mission and received a second-class merit.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't stay in these places for long. He only glanced at his own photo and then walked straight in.
Xia Ruofei soon came in front of a wall. Unlike the other parts of the Hall of Honor, which were mainly designed with fiery red hues, the main color of this wall was oppressive black and white. There was also a black velvet flower in the middle of the wall. Two black ribbons extended from the velvet flower to both sides, giving off a solemn and dignified feeling.
On this wall, rows of black and white photos were neatly hung — this was a Wall of Martyrs, hanging the portraits of all the martyrs who had sacrificed since the establishment of the Lone Wolf Commandos.
The wall was filled with martyrs, silent and silent.
Xia Ruofei's gaze swept across the young faces in the photos and finally stopped on the second last familiar face.
Lin Hu, Xia Ruofei's good comrade and brother from the recruit company. Back then, they came together on the same train and then joined the Lone Wolf Commandos together. In order to protect Xia Ruofei, he sacrificed himself in the jungle.
Xia Ruofei murmured, "Huzi, are you doing well over there? Everything at home is fine. I promised you that your mother will be my mother in the future. Now, she is my godmother … Qiao 'er has already been admitted to university, Heron Island University. She is also one of the top advertising majors in the country. Isn't she amazing? If you were so good in your studies back then, you wouldn't have joined the army … "
Xia Ruofei chatted with Lin Hu as if he was chatting with a friend. As he spoke, his eyes unknowingly turned red …
Then, Xia Ruofei's gaze fell on the last and newest photo.
In the photo, the old Captain Luo's lips were slightly pursed. His eyes were bright, and his face had already begun to show the vicissitudes of life.
"Class monitor, I know that you are most worried about sister-in-law and Nan Nan." Xia Ruofei said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law is now working in my company. Nan Nan has also been transferred to the best primary school in the three mountains. The elderly in your family are also well taken care of. You don't know … Nan Nan is very smart! When she first transferred, she was a little behind the progress. But soon, her grades jumped to the top of the class. Every teacher praised her … "
Xia Ruofei felt that his eyes were a little blurry. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Lin Hu and Class Monitor Luo Zhicheng on the Wall of Martyrs. They seemed to have really heard Xia Ruofei's words and felt that the corners of their mouths had become wider.
…
The civil servant, Xiao Zhao, ran all the way to the cafeteria and conveyed Guo Zhan's instructions to the sergeant. After leaving a few hundred yuan, he ran to the Hall of Honor.
The fat sergeant shouted behind him, "Xiao Zhao! You brat, make it clear first! What kind of guest is Captain Guo entertaining? How many people? "
Xiao Zhao said loudly without turning his head, "Class monitor, the chief only has one guest, but I don't know how many people he will invite to accompany him!"
"Who is the guest?" The sergeant shouted, "I have to know his taste, right?"
"Class Monitor Xia!" Xiao Zhao shouted, "You should know what kind of dishes Class Monitor Xia likes to eat!"
"Which Class Monitor Xia?" The sergeant was speechless.
Xiao Zhao had already run around the corner of the cafeteria, but his voice could still be faintly heard, "Which other Class Monitor Xia can it be? Of course it's Class Monitor Xia Ruofei! "
After hearing this, the sergeant couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. The slightly thin figure of Xia Ruofei appeared in his mind. He scratched his head, grinned, and said to himself, "Xia Ruofei is back?"
The sergeant's epaulets were two thick crutches. He was a fourth-grade sergeant major. In front of him, Xia Ruofei was really a rookie.
The sergeant turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, "Boys! Brace yourselves! Help me prepare a good table of dishes! "
After that, the agile fatty quickly walked into the kitchen operation room and ordered the soldiers of the cookhouse to get busy.
Xiao Zhao came to the door of the Hall of Honor, but he didn't see Xia Ruofei.
He poked his head in and saw that Xia Ruofei was still standing quietly in front of the Wall of Heroes. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. He leaned against the door frame of the Hall of Honor and panted a few times. Then he stood straight and waited outside.
However, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. Xiao Zhao couldn't help but poke his head in again. When he saw that Xia Ruofei was still standing in front of the Wall of Heroes, he immediately turned his head back and stood straight again.
Time ticked by. Xiao Zhao stood outside the Hall of Honor until his legs were numb. He couldn't help but secretly stomp his feet. He couldn't maintain the standard military posture anymore. In fact, standing straight for so long made him look like a sesame seed cake. The soldiers passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. He also felt that he was a little silly.
Xiao Zhao secretly peeked into the Hall of Honor several times, but every time he saw Xia Ruofei standing quietly in front of the Wall of Heroes, motionless. Every time he poked his head in, Xia Ruofei's position, standing posture, and even the angle of his head were almost exactly the same.
Xiao Zhao didn't dare to disturb him. He could only wait patiently outside.
When Xia Ruofei finally walked out of the Hall of Honor, Xiao Zhao almost cried. Xia Ruofei had stayed inside the Hall of Honor for the whole afternoon. Now the sky outside was beginning to turn dark.
Xia Ruofei stayed for the whole afternoon, and Little Zhao stood at the door of the Hall of Honor for the whole afternoon. Now, his legs did not seem to belong to him, but Xia Ruofei seemed to be fine. Little Zhao clearly saw that Xia Ruofei did not move at all for the whole afternoon.
"I'm sorry! Sorry to keep you waiting for so long … "Xia Ruofei said with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's okay! It's okay! " Xiao Zhao hurriedly said, "Squad Leader Xia, if you didn't come out, I would have gone in to call you!"
"Don't worry! I remember that it's mealtime. " Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "And I'm not asleep. The ending horn was so loud, how could I not hear it?"
Xiao Zhao smiled and scratched his head, saying in his heart, "Guru is indeed a guru! Even standing in a military posture can reach such a level. Weak people like me can't compare to him! "
Xia Ruofei and Xiao Zhao quickly walked to the cafeteria.
Xia Ruofei directly went up to the second floor from the side stairs. He was very familiar with this place. He knew that there was a small private room on the second floor of the cafeteria. If Guo Zhan entertained guests, he could only do it there. There was no other choice.
In fact, the use of this private room was extremely low. The leadership of the commando team, including Guo Zhan, usually ate in the cafeteria with the soldiers. There was no special treatment at all.
Today, Guo Zhan made an exception because Xia Ruofei was here.
Even so, Guo Zhan still paid for it out of his own pocket and didn't encroach on the soldiers' benefits.
Xiao Zhao followed Xia Ruofei and walked up the stairs with heavy steps.
When they reached the door of the private room, Xiao Zhao hurriedly shouted, "Report!"
"No need to report! Tell that guy to get in here quickly! "Guo Zhan's voice came from the private room.
Xiao Zhao looked at Xia Ruofei with a strange expression.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Go ahead!"
"Okay! Then I'll go down to the kitchen and ask the quartermaster to serve the dishes quickly! "Xiao Zhao hurriedly said.
Xia Ruofei nodded, then pushed the door open and walked into the private room.
As soon as he entered, Xia Ruofei felt a strong wind at the back of his head. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His body didn't sway at all, but he moved about half a meter horizontally. Then, without turning his head, his right hand passed under his left arm and grabbed behind him, accurately grabbing a fist.
Xia Ruofei gently squeezed, and suddenly there was a strange cry behind him …
