Lin Hui followed the officer on duty and hurried to the duty room.

He clenched his hands tightly into fists, his heart was heavy, and his face was extremely heavy.

Just now, the platoon leader on duty told him that someone on the border island called.

Ask them to tell Lin Hui that his old squad leader Wei Yongnian is about to retire from the army...

At this moment, Lin Hui's head was buzzing.

The appearance of the old squad leader kept popping up in my mind.

"Lin Hui, I believe in you, you will definitely become a good soldier!"

"You are the best soldier I have ever led, and you may also be the last one!"

"You still have a long way to go in the future. Go fly. Once you leave this island, don't come back!"

"..."

Lin Hui's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Ever since he left the island, he has been working hard to move forward.

In just over a year, he achieved unprecedented achievements and even received a Medal of Honor that many people could not obtain in their lifetime.

He hasn't had time to share his current situation and achievements with the old squad leader.

Unexpectedly, I waited for the news that the old squad leader was about to retire.

Too fast!

Time flies too fast!

Lin Hui knows very well what more than ten years of military career means to a veteran who loves the army.

This is almost everything to him, everything to him.

Squad leader Wei Yongnian devoted half of his life to the army.

Like an old tree, it has taken root deeply into the soil.

He brought out outstanding soldiers one after another for the army and used all his energy to complete his mission as a soldier.

Now asking him to take off this military uniform is as painful as peeling off a layer of skin from his body.

After returning home from the army, the sky is far higher.

It is really difficult to see him again in the future.

Lin Hui felt a dull pain in his heart. He covered his chest with his hands and it became very difficult to breathe.

After leaving the island, he always kept in mind the teachings of his old squad leader, fulfilled his promise, and worked hard to become an excellent warrior.

But now, the monitor is leaving.

The saddest thing in the army is that people come and then leave.

Lin Hui knew that it was all the credit of his old squad leader that he could transform from a coward who was just waiting for death, thinking only of being discharged, to what he is now.

In his military career, no one had greater significance and influence on him than Wei Yongnian.

Soon, Lin Hui followed the platoon leader on duty into the room.

The platoon leader looked at another officer on duty inside and said, "Make a phone call."

Another officer on duty looked surprised and looked up at the clock: "It's so late, why are you still on the phone?"

The platoon leader sighed and looked back at Lin Hui: "His old squad leader is about to retire. This is probably the last chance. Please help me."

The officer on duty didn't say much.

After asking where the call was, he immediately helped me connect.

Soon, the call was connected: "Hello, please transfer me to the border defense area..."

Lin Hui stood aside during the entire process.

Always without saying a word.

The whole person is like a sculpture, standing quietly, as if he has lost his soul.

Soon, the call was transferred from the border area to Crescent Island.

"It's OK."

The officer on duty handed the phone to Lin Hui.

Lin Hui stretched out his hand, but still lacked the courage to face this matter.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up the phone and carefully put it to his ear.

A familiar voice soon came from the opposite side, it was Wu Meng.

"Hey, hey, who is it? Talking?"

Lin Hui took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "I, I am Lin Hui."

Wu Meng became excited instantly: "Lin Hui, it's really you, I guessed it was you!"

The next second, Zou Peng rushed to the phone and shouted excitedly: "Let me speak, let me speak!"

"You made it easy for us to find you. Do you know how hard we worked to find you? I quickly asked the border guards around and found out that you are no longer here..."

Liu Shan, who was next to him, quickly grabbed the phone and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and go ahead and cut your toenails! Lin Hui, wait a minute, the squad leader went out for the final patrol. I'm going to call him here now!"

"

"You wait, you must wait, don't hang up the phone!"

"This phone call is too difficult to make!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Hui heard the voice on the other side becoming distant: "Monitor, monitor, come back quickly, Lin Hui is calling!"

While waiting, Lin Hui couldn't help but feel his throat rolling.

My heart is filled with excitement, anxiety, and even fear.

Even the right hand holding the phone was trembling inexplicably.

He must hold it tightly with both hands.

Growing up, he had never been afraid of anything.

Even if his father wants to sever the father-son relationship with him, it doesn't matter to him.

But now, his heart was extremely uneasy and full of fear.

Especially the waiting process seems to be a kind of torture.

The wall clock in the duty room is ticking.

The old watch on Lin Hui's hand also made a ticking sound as if echoing each other.

The time on the watch was a full five minutes slow.

It's not like there aren't good watches in the army.

But this watch was a commemorative gift given to him by Wei Yongnian.

As long as he wears this watch, Lin Hui can be confident no matter what he does.

Because as long as he saw it, Lin Hui could think of a place called Crescent Island on the blue sea of ​​the motherland, where a veteran was silently supporting him.

But now, that person is leaving soon.

Also leaving with him were Lin Hui’s spiritual support and the memories of the time on the island.

Lin Hui felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought that from now on, he could only move forward alone.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

But he always hoped that this day would never come.

"Hey, Lin Hui."

Listening to this familiar and warm voice, Lin Hui shuddered and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Ban, class..."

He opened his lips, but could only make a hoarse sound of air flow.

That's when he understood.

It turns out that when people are most nervous and excited, they cannot make any sound.

Wei Yongnian knew that Lin Hui was on the opposite side, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face: "Lin Hui, I finally got through your phone. I thought I couldn't reach you."

"You are the last soldier I brought out. It would be a pity if I left without being able to talk to you in the end."

Lin Hui couldn't control his tears anymore, and they fell hot: "Squad leader!"

Wei Yongnian responded, and the haze shrouded by being discharged from the army was dissipated a little: "I have heard about your performance outside, it is great, it is amazing."

"I said at the beginning that you were the son of the King of Soldiers, and I was indeed right!"
To be continued...
