night

They failed to make it in the afternoon, and the enemy's firepower was too fierce, so they had to leave in the early morning while the night had not completely faded.

Fang Zhengqing was dissatisfied with this decision, and Shen Xi knew it, but at least he had to protect his lover well during times of war, this was a man's instinct, and it couldn't be changed.

Shen Xi got up at night as usual to cover Fang Zhengqing with a quilt. At this time, there were still three hours before Fang Zhengqing's departure. Everyone was extremely tired during the day and snored loudly at night.

Shen Xi pulled the quilt for him with ease, raised his head, met Fang Zhengqing's clear eyes, and said, "Shen Xi, let's talk."

Shen Xi knew what Fang Zhengqing wanted to talk about, everything else was easy to talk about, and he would try his best to satisfy his young master, but not this matter.

Fang Zhengqing was not reconciled: "Why can't I stay with you?"

Shen Xi was persuasive: "I have been a soldier longer than you, and I have more experience than you. Should I stay here?"

Fang Zhengqing nodded hesitantly.

Shen Xi asked again: "The evacuation of large troops requires command. Apart from me, is it you who are the most suitable?"

Fang Zhengqing nodded again in a daze.

Shen Xi pampered Fang Zhengqing's soft hair, and Fang Zhengqing realized that he had been entangled in it, and quickly retorted: "Not counting, you said it yourself, it is the fate of a soldier to be born on the battlefield and die on the battlefield, besides, I My heart is on you, and we are in the same boat through thick and thin, should I stay with you?"

Shen Xi touched Fang Zhengqing's cuff, and took off a button with all his strength: "Okay, I have your button, and being with it can be regarded as being with you through thick and thin."

Fang Zhengqing was not convinced, and wanted to argue, but Shen Xixu covered his mouth, and Shen Xi put a soft voice to coax him: "Good boy, don't be self-willed, you are not only Shen Xi's lover, but also Company Commander Fang, you have to bring them alive go out."

Fang Zhengqing stopped talking, Shen Xi saw that the circles of his eyes were a little red, and the two little dimples who smiled sweetly disappeared, Shen Xi felt uncomfortable, and he was also reluctant to part with Fang Zhengqing.

He touched Fang Zhengqing's cheek: "You wait for me in the back, I will come back."

Tears rolled in Fang Zhengqing's eyes, he held back his shame, closed his eyes, and kissed Shen Xi in a daze.It was an instant kiss, with the unique bitterness of tears. Fang Zhengqing said: "If a gentleman says a word, a four-horse horse is hard to follow. This is what I promised you during the day, and I will not break my promise. Don't break your promise, you must Come back alive."

At four o'clock in the morning, the assembly is over.A group of people carried water bottles, shoes, and wooden stakes for tents, counted the number of people, and each platoon leader ordered at the same time: "Turn back——"

"salute--"

Everyone turned around and gave a military salute to those who stayed behind.

They held back their tears and stared, the gray cloud of death was about to cover this place, and the comrades in arms at this moment would be in a different place at some point.

"stand at attention--"

Fang Zhengqing took a deep look at Shen Xi, and then continued to order: "Turn back—run—go"

With the sound of footsteps, the large army gradually drifted away, and finally turned into a black spot, melting into the night.

Shen Xi stared at the direction they left for a long time, and suddenly asked the second platoon leader beside him: "Are you blaming me?"

The leader of the second platoon said: "Company commander, I have been with you the longest. My wife and a pair of children all died at the hands of the enemy. I have no regrets to end my life on the battlefield."

Shen took out the cigarette case from his inner pocket, lit the unburned cigarette, and the curling smoke drifted away and merged with the morning mist.He quietly finished smoking the cigarette, and patted the simple and honest man in front of him on the shoulder: "Good job."
