Next day.
Lunar New Year's Day.
When Dong Xuebing woke up, it was already dawn. He rubbed his head as he had drunk too much last night. Oh, he had a duel with those soldiers. He had challenged 11 soldiers? Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. Alcohol is bad!
"Blah, blah."
Xiao Qianqian was sucking on her thumb and looking at her father.
"You are awake?" Dong Xuebing looked at her and hugged her. He kissed her cheeks. Maybe his beard had pricked her, and Xiao Qianqian giggled and waved her hand. Dong Xuebing blinked and poked her with his beard, which he had not shaved for a few days. After poking her face, he poked her neck, and Xiao Qianqian laughed even louder. She was waving her arms and legs.
She is so cute. Dong Xuebing felt warmth in his heart.
Then, the father and daughter started to play in the quilt.
… …
Morning, 9 am.
Dong Xuebing carried his daughter out of bed and went out for breakfast.
The soldiers had performed until late last night. Other than some soldiers on duty, the rest had just woken up and went back to work.
A small canteen on the warship.
Dong Xuebing was feeding Qianqian milk and asked a soldier beside him. "Comrade, it has been four days. How much longer until we return? " According to the speed of the warship, it should be much faster than the freighter. If it was moving at full speed, it shouldn't be so slow. However, Niu Dazhao's freighter had also returned and was following closely behind the warship, so the warship naturally had to slow down to wait for them.
That soldier immediately replied. "We should be arriving today."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Oh? Today? Morning or afternoon? "
The soldier replied. "We should be arriving at noon. We can see land soon."
Dong Xuebing could not hold back his excitement when he heard they are getting closer to home. He is finally going home. The ten days of sailing had exhausted him.
After lunch, Dong Xuebing carried his daughter to the deck and looked into the distance.
A few soldiers on the deck looked at each other and signaled with their eyes. One of them walked over. It was one of the soldiers who had a duel with Dong Xuebing last night. He said: "Mr. Dong, your fighting skills are so good. Are you trained in Kung Fu? Can you teach us a few moves? " Many people were impressed by Dong Xuebing's performance last night. He had fought against more than a dozen well-trained soldiers and won without losing a single blow. No one will believe him if they tell others about this. It's too unbelievable.
Dong Xuebing replied apologetically. "I'm sorry. I can't hold my liquor well, and once I drink, I will forget everything. Yesterday …"
A soldier beside him said, "It doesn't matter. We learned a lot yesterday."
Someone said, "That's right. There's always someone better out there. Mr Dong, can you teach us a few moves?"
Dong Xuebing quickly waved his hand. "Don't embarrass yourself. It's the truth. Actually, I had never practiced martial arts before. I am just fighting blindly."
Dong Xuebing was telling the truth, but the soldiers did not believe him.
In the end, Dong Xuebing could not dissuade them and used the moves Xu Yan taught him to practice with them. At first, there were only two or three people, but later, someone spread the news, and in less than ten minutes, more than ten soldiers surrounded them. Even two officers on the warship came up to the deck to watch, their eyes holding a trace of learning attitude.
"Mr. Dong, where is the focus of this move?"
"At the heel. But when you turn to the side, you must move it to the leg."
"What about this move?"
"This move depends on the situation. Let's see how the opponent changes his moves."
After a while, more people gathered around Dong Xuebing. This time, even the Senior Colonel came up to the deck. He smiled and watched Dong Xuebing teach Dong Xuebing Kung Fu.
Dong Xuebing was embarrassed. "Disperse. The Captain is here."
The soldiers turned and saw the Captain. They were stunned. After all, they were on a mission.
The Senior Colonel waved his hand and laughed. "Don't mind me. It is not easy to hire someone like Chief Dong. All of you should learn from him. I also want to learn from him."
Dong Xuebing smiled. What's there to learn? Any one of you is more knowledgeable than me. Look, I should not be in the limelight too much. If not, I will be in trouble. If I had not drunk too much yesterday and kept a low profile, there would not be so many problems.
Two hours later.
The land in the distance became clearer and clearer. Only then did the people disperse and return to their posts.
The Senior Colonel found Dong Xuebing and said. "Xiao Dong, there will be a lot of reporters at the port. You should wait for a while and ask them to disembark. I will get someone to send you to the airport. Director Xie had arranged the plane tickets for you. You will fly directly to Beijing."
Beijing?
Dong Xuebing's mother and the rest are in Beijing?
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Thank you for all the trouble we have caused these few days."
The senior colonel smiled and said, "We should be the ones thanking you. Without you, we probably wouldn't have been able to complete this mission. Alright, let's skip the pleasantries. I'm going to accompany the hostages off the ship, so I'll take my leave first. If there's a chance in the future, let's have a meal together?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Sure. Let's meet another day."
They exchanged phone numbers, and Dong Xuebing could see the flashes of the reporters by the shore. He quickly entered the cabin with his daughter.
The ship docked, and it was a mess outside.
There was the sound of cameras clicking and the sound of reporters interviewing.
"Did you all encounter any danger during your mission?"
"I heard the pirates had hijacked a cargo ship. The hostages were also rescued? "
"What are your thoughts after you all were rescued?"
After a while, the commotion outside faded away.
Knock, knock, knock. The female soldier knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Dong, follow me. I will send you all to the airport."
"Thank you." Dong Xuebing carried Xiao Qianqian and followed the female soldier out of the room. They sneaked out from the side of the ship, and there was a military jeep waiting for them.
Suddenly, soldiers walked up to the deck.
1, 5, 10, and the number was still increasing. All of them were looking at Dong Xuebing.
One of the officers on the deck shouted. "Salute!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! The soldiers saluted in unison! This is for Dong Xuebing!
Dong Xuebing was touched and immediately stood up to return the salute. After that, he nodded to them.
The jeep drove off.
The soldiers looked at Dong Xuebing and did not stop saluting for a long time.
