Chapter 228: Seeing Through But Not Saying It
This was the first time Qi Zhijun chatted with He Shu like this, without acting like an elder.
There was no longer that look of disdain on his face, and it was the first time that He Shu felt a little warm family love from his uncle.
"He Shu, uncle was wrong before. I think you can also be considered a member of the Qi family. If you are a member of the Qi family, you should be the same as us."
"I always feel that I am not leading you astray, so I never think there is anything wrong with my arrangement."
It was still a little awkward for Qi Zhijun to say this, but over the past six months, while He Shu was growing up, hadn't he also experienced something he had never experienced before?
"But when I sent you to Zhou Zhensheng, I was thinking, what if you were not there?"
After saying this, Qi Zhijun was silent for a long time. He Shu didn't say anything either. He just sat there and listened quietly.
"You didn't rely on the Qi family in the past, but you were still able to get into Huaqing through your own efforts. In fact, your uncle feels guilty about you, and also about your mother..."
"Uncle, stop talking."
He Shu suddenly spoke up to stop his uncle from speaking: "Uncle, stop talking..."
He didn't want to listen to his uncle continue talking, because some of his words were too clear and he didn't know how to face his grandfather's family in the future.
Qi Zhijun clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them, and slowly relaxed: "Okay, I won't say any more... You should take a rest. Your uncle will take you to set off fireworks tomorrow."
Qi Zhijun was interrupted by He Shu and stood up helplessly. When he reached the door, he looked back and saw He Shu also looking at him.
He suddenly felt that He Shu actually understood everything, he was just pretending not to understand.
When this thought occurred to him, Qi Zhijun felt even more tormented and almost wanted to run away.
After the door was closed, the small single room suddenly became quiet.
It was so quiet that even the sounds of the special forces training outside could be heard clearly as if they were right next to my ears.
He Shu got out of bed, stood in front of the window, and watched those people outside with special missions constantly honing themselves.
They are all working hard for one goal, or two goals, for a responsibility that they feel is worth working hard for.
Everyone thinks they are not wrong from their own perspective, so who is wrong?
In the afternoon, my uncle didn't show up, so He Shu dressed neatly and left the room, going outside to watch others train.
My uncle is right, this place really makes people feel that strong atmosphere.
He Shu didn't practice or go running, he just stood outside and watched for the whole afternoon...
The next day, the entire regiment was mobilized, and several military trucks covered with rainproof cloth were loaded with all the soldiers.
He Shu sat in the convertible jeep driven by his uncle, following behind the convoy.
They walked a long way and the road was very bumpy. There were empty fields on both sides. This place should be a place specially used for training by the troops.
Apart from the green military uniforms and camouflage uniforms, no one outside the troops could be seen.
The car drove to the foot of a small hill. He Shu saw the soldiers in the truck in front, each of them fully armed and carrying a heavy black box, jumping out from the back of the truck one after another.
Then we lined up, ran forward, and climbed the mountain...
"Would you like to try and see if you can keep up with them?"
He Shu nodded, took the weight bag handed to him by his uncle, put it on his back and got out of the car.
This hill is not very high and the slope is often trampled, so the path formed is not difficult to walk on.
I asked my uncle, and he said that the soldiers in front were carrying weapon and ammunition boxes, which weighed thirty kilograms, and they had to carry the boxes for ten kilometers.
Moreover, these ten kilometers are not ordinary roads, and climbing the mountain is the easiest and most relaxing part.
Seeing He Shu's curiosity, Qi Zhijun asked him to follow behind and experience it for himself.
He Shu's backpack only weighed about 20 kilograms, and contained nutrition bars and water for energy replenishment, while there was no .
"We will conduct five days of ordinary special training here. During these five days, if you are interested, your uncle can let you try it out."
After climbing over the hill, He Shu couldn't help but be stunned. On the other side of the hill was a small lake.
The soldier in front has already gone into the water, holding the box high above his head, and moving forward carefully in the water. It seems that the water is not deep.
"You don't have to get off the bridge. Just take the bridge over there."
The uncle pointed to a small bridge in the distance, and He Shu saw someone on it observing with a telescope.
It was early October, the beginning of autumn, but the sun was very strong, and the clothes of the soldiers who had walked here with heavy loads were soaked.
After suddenly entering the water, they were instantly stimulated by the slightly cool lake water and shivered. Moreover, the equipment on the soldiers would be very heavy after being soaked in water.
He Shu couldn't swim, but seeing that the depth was only about 1.5 meters, he wanted to try it.
So he also took off his backpack, raised it above his head, followed suit, and lined up to go into the water.
Qi Zhijun did not stop them when he saw this, but went around to the other side to walk across the bridge. He was an instructor and needed to monitor the progress of the training and respond to emergencies, so he did not need to go through the project again.
The lake water slowly soaked his clothes, and He Shu couldn't help shivering, but after his body was completely immersed in the water, he felt much better.
But seeing that the people in front were walking quite fast, He Shu thought it wouldn't be difficult. However, the ground was uneven and he would fall if he was not careful. Such a height was also very dangerous for people who could not swim.
He Shu moved in the water at the slowest speed. The buoyancy of the water caused his body to twist and turn, making it difficult for him to keep his balance. When he finally got ashore, the people in front of him had already passed the second item.
After coming out of the water, a slight breeze blew and he felt a chill on his body. He put his bag on his back and hesitated as he looked at the mud pit in front of him which was almost a hundred meters wide.
All those people just passed by here. After more than half a year in prison, He Shu no longer has any of his original obsession with cleanliness.
However, looking at the quagmire that seemed to be able to swallow people, he was still a little timid.
I turned around to look for my uncle, and after looking around, I saw that the managers on both sides were wearing similar clothes and hats, and I couldn't tell who was my uncle.
He Shu gritted his teeth and stepped into the quagmire.
As soon as he entered the quagmire, his body immediately lost balance. He Shu took only two steps before he fell into the mud and instantly became a mud man.
He wanted to get up, but as soon as he pushed himself up with his hands, he sank into the hole and couldn't exert any strength. His feet were also stuck in there, as if there was a suction force pulling him.
He struggled for a few times before pulling one foot out, but his shoe was still in the mud.
This was because He Shu had no experience and did not tie his shoelaces tightly. He Shu had no choice but to pull the shoes out, hold them in his hands, and then slowly struggle forward in the mud.
The people in front had already disappeared, and He Shu spent nearly forty minutes in the mud that was a hundred meters wide.
By the time he climbed onto dry ground, all his strength had been exhausted.
After lying on the ground to rest for a while, He Shu shook off his mud-filled shoes and put them on again. This time, he tied the shoelaces tightly.
Just as I got up, someone came over from the side road. It turned out to be a female soldier.
However, when He Shu saw the red cross armband on her arm, he knew her identity.
"How are you? Are you okay? Do you want to come with me to rest?"
He Shu shook his head: "I want to try again."
The female medic smiled and said, "There is a minefield ahead. Just a reminder. If you step on the wrong one, you may get hurt."
