I ate this meal very slowly, because my hands and feet were stiff from the cold, and I had no energy, and my cheeks were trembling all the time. As a result, I couldn't chew the food in my mouth, so I had to swallow almost everything I had eaten.
So the meal lasted for more than ten minutes before everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks.
After finishing the meal, everyone didn't even think about leaving, so they just sat quietly in the restaurant without moving.
Because you can only be lazy in a restaurant. In fact, it can’t be called lazy. It’s just that you can sit more casually.
Lin Yi looked at Squad Leader 8 leaning against the wall comfortably, imitating his example, and patted the soldiers behind him, "Come, let's go back to back and support each other for a while."
When Squad Leader 8 saw it, he quickly said: "Platoon Leader Lin, I'll go to the conference room and bring out two chairs."
Lin Yi waved his hand to stop, "No, it's warmer back to back."
Although the soldier behind Lin Yi had finished eating, he immediately agreed to lean back on Lin Yi, but the position was not comfortable.
It's not that his back is hard to lean on, it's just that he's swaying from time to time.
In fact, this is a good sign. Muscle twitching proves that the muscles are not frozen. Those who understand will naturally know that as long as the limbs can still move, regardless of whether it is twitching or any other reaction, it is much better than being unable to move.
At this time, Master Wu also cleaned up the electric pressure cooker, "I'm going to make ginger soup for you and add some brown sugar. It's good for your health."
Lin Yi felt uncomfortable leaning on it, so he simply stood up and said, "I'll make ginger soup. Old Wu, you go and observe the herdsmen more."
Master Wu waved his hand and said, "Platoon Leader Lin, eight of you are risking your lives. How can I have the nerve to let you do the work at the outpost anymore? Just sit back and rest in peace."
Squad Leader 8 also said: "Platoon Leader Lin, Lao Wu is right. We don't have to do anything today. All the work in the post will be left to them. Let's have a good rest. By the way, why don't you go get your mobile phone?"
It’s boring for everyone to sit around anyway, so it’s good for everyone to play with their mobile phones to refresh themselves.”
Some people may think that since they are cold, why not go to bed and lie down immediately? Instead of letting everyone play with their mobile phones, it is better to go back to bed and lie down to feel more comfortable.
This is actually not possible because the cold in your body has not completely melted away. If you stay awake, you can always observe the condition of your body.
Once you fall asleep, the body's heat dissipation will become smaller, which will not only fail to detect the body's condition in time, but may also cause the body's recovery to slow down.
Squad Leader 8 has plenty of experience in this matter. Lin Yi heard the suggestion from Squad Leader 8 and did not hesitate. He gathered people and went to get the mobile phone.
But this time Lin Yi still didn't take his mobile phone and left the Internet. He found that there was really nothing to play with on his mobile phone.
As for some soldiers who wanted to copy e-books to Lin Yi's mobile phone, Lin Yi declined politely. After all, he didn't have much time to play with mobile phones, and he didn't want to waste their precious time.
Squad Leader 8 was sitting in the restaurant and didn't come to get his phone, and Lin Yi didn't care, because Squad Leader 8 could get it at any time, but judging from his appearance, he was probably not in the mood to play.
In this search mission, Squad Leader 8 was at the forefront, and he withstood the strong wind. If he had not adapted to the plateau environment, his body would definitely be frozen by now.
Lin Yi returned to the restaurant, sat next to Squad Leader 8, and asked, "Have you ever been through a snowstorm? I saw that you didn't hesitate much when you performed your mission today."
Monitor 8 nodded, "I've drilled twice, but I've never drilled anything as big as today. I've calculated the time, and according to my original experience, we can stay outside for at least an hour, but the wind is really strong today."
It was too big, and the time was shortened by half, and I almost didn’t come back.”
"By the way, Platoon Leader Lin, do you still have the confidence to persist here for three months? You almost lost your life today."
Lin Yi heard this question again, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "Squad Leader 8, do I really seem to be so afraid of things? I still say the same thing, I can definitely endure the hardships you can endure."
8 Squad Leader nodded repeatedly, "I know you can endure hardship, so I urge you to follow me and rush out first. I know you are good."
"But you have also seen the actual situation. Our lives are not only in danger at any time while patrolling, but also in great danger when we perform any task. You are a good person, with a strong sense of responsibility and a high degree of education. If anything happens
It’s really not worth it to end up like this one day.”
Lin Yi's face became serious, "Squad Leader 8, you don't need to say it anymore. If one day I really become heroic, it will be nothing more than an extra grave behind the guard post. It is an honor to sacrifice one's life for the country."
"Clear love, only for China."
The 8th squad leader stopped answering and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, "I'll leave the outpost to you. When the border defense brigade comes to pick up the herdsmen, I will follow them down the mountain."
When Lin Yi heard this, he was shocked, "But I haven't learned how to manage the outpost yet."
Squad leader 8 laughed, "Actually, there is no need to learn anything at the outpost. Apart from patrolling and eating, you have already experienced it. There is no need to teach it again. As long as you have the spirit of dedication and sacrifice here, that is enough. The rest
On the contrary, it seems unimportant.”
"Deputy monitor, come here."
Deputy squad leader Zhu heard the shouts of squad leader 8 and trotted over quickly, "Squad monitor, what's wrong?"
Squad leader 8 pointed at Lin Yi, "The snowstorm will pass in the next two days. I won't wait for the supply truck to come up. It's too slow. When the border defense brigade comes to pick up people, I will follow them back. In these three months, you must
You must cooperate well with Platoon Leader Lin. You are a veteran, so you must assist Platoon Leader Lin well."
When the deputy squad leader heard that the squad leader was about to leave, his face was full of joy, "Don't worry, the outpost is just a small thing, and Platoon Leader Lin is not very good at managing it. By the way, go back and say hello to my sister-in-law, saying that we in Class 8 miss her."
Yes, hahaha.”
Lin Yi always felt that something was wrong. According to the predictions of the 8th squad leader, the snowstorm would end in two days. When the road was opened, which would be the third day, the border defense brigade would come to pick up the people.
Won't the truck that can transport supplies arrive in five days?
8. The squad leader has been at the outpost for two years and has not returned. Why is he so anxious for these two days?
The Border Defense Brigade belongs to the Border Defense Police Station. The predecessor of the Border Defense Police Station was the Armed Police Force. Although they are brother forces, it is very common for them to ride with each other, but there are always some differences.
No matter what you think, squad leader 8 shouldn't be so anxious.
Lin Yi stared at Squad Leader 8 for a while and found that Squad Leader 8 would frown from time to time, and sometimes even cough.
Suddenly, Lin realized that squad leader No. 8 had been walking at the front of the queue while performing his task, standing alone against a group of people.
Isn’t it that the cold wind of dozens of degrees below zero has been pouring into the nose and mouth of Squad Leader 8?
If you continue to drink for half an hour, something will definitely happen.
How could I be so stupid that I never thought of changing places with Squad Leader 8 to block the wind for him?
You have let others contribute to you, how can you have the nerve to do this to this platoon leader!
