Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 376 What's the Meaning
100 western law a piece.

According to the exchange rate, that is one yuan to one yuan.

Li Zheng waved his hand: "No, we don't want it."

In fact, Li Zheng could see that this little guy was here for business.

A stick of 100 West Farah, what he said may be just one piece, it is absolutely impossible to be a whole five-piece pack.

That is to say, five pieces are 500 Western French, more than five yuan before RMB.

This thing is at most one or two yuan in China, and it is more than doubled.

Of course, the kid did this to earn the difference.

It's a pity that Li Zheng and the others are disciplined and cannot accept this kind of transaction during the patrol.

This is not to be overly cautious, but necessary.

The PLA has always emphasized discipline, which is iron-like discipline in China, let alone during missions abroad.

For example, around the camp area, there are often some local women standing on the side of the road, wearing revealing clothes, making a show of their heads. When Li Zheng and the others went out to perform missions, they encountered such provocations from the state.

As long as they patrol or pass by, the other party will blow kisses and tease.

Li Zheng and the others don't know about the peacekeeping forces of other countries. Anyway, the Chinese peacekeeping soldiers definitely don't look at it.

You don't know what is behind this peachy trap, what is hidden.

The same goes for this hawker deal, you don't know what's in the gum, and you can't be distracted to buy it while on duty.

Although everyone changed some Western French when they came, it was used to buy things in regular stores when they went to the urban area uniformly, not for this kind of place.

Seeing Li Zheng's refusal, the little boy looked a little pitiful, his big eyes were full of begging, and he kept saying, "Please, buy one, I'm very poor, please."

Li Zheng's heart softened. He couldn't see this situation, and subconsciously touched the bag on his arm.

There's a little saffron in it.

Fatty Wei said: "I'm talking about Lao Li, don't be soft-hearted. Let me tell you, if you buy one from him, it might be all over later..."

After finishing speaking, she pursed her lips in the distance.

In the distance, there is a large group of similar children, all looking at this side, as if waiting for the result of this little boy's exploration.

No one was sure what the crowd of kids would pull out of their pockets after buying a stick of gum.

Sometimes sympathy and pity really are cheap.

Sometimes you find that your compassion and that little bit of money that's cheap as a handout doesn't help anyone.

This country is like that.

The same is true of the people under the state.

Unless you help this country, you can't help the suffering people under this country.

Personal power is always so small.

Li Zheng woke up suddenly, gritted his teeth and hardened his heart, and waved to the little boy: "No, we don't need it."

The little boy still held up his chewing gum, and still said in his mouth: "Please, buy one, I am very poor."

Li Zheng secretly sighed in his heart, maybe he is really pitiful.

But in this situation, there is discipline on the one hand and sympathy on the other. When it came, Li Zheng still didn't buy it, turned around and walked away.

The child is still shouting: "Please, buy one..."

Li Zheng suffered from insomnia again that night.

In fact, he really didn't understand why he suffered from insomnia after coming here.

I thought it was jet lag, but it has been more than ten days, so it must not be jet lag.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't forget the eyes beyond the barbed wire. As soon as he closed his eyes, the little boy's voice sounded in his ears.

"Please, buy one, I'm so poor..."

He can't sleep.

He sat up and sat silently beside the bed for a long time.

At some point, Hou Jun suddenly walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Zheng was taken aback.

"Squad leader."

Hou Jun pointed outside and walked out by himself.

Li Zheng also walked out.

The two reached the end of the corridor, where the exit was a step, only three steps, not high, and the mechanical equipment of the engineering unit was on the outside.

It’s just a good place to take a break. The machine can block the view from the outside and will not be attacked. Usually, no one passes by this place. The brothers of the engineering unit live in the container house outside. As for the guard unit, some people live in the concrete building. Because it is close to the duty room, it is easy to protect, and if something happens, they can arrive immediately and cover the evacuation of the headquarters. All of this has been planned in advance.

Sitting down on the steps, Hou Jun took out the cigarette case, took out one, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"Can't sleep?"

Li Zheng nodded: "Yes."

Hou Jun said, "What's the matter?"

Li Zheng was at a loss for words.

He didn't know where to start.

Saying that I didn't buy that little boy's chewing gum?

Or is it because you feel that the little boy is very pitiful?
Or was it the aftereffects of the battle that night?

He didn't know where to start.

Thoughts are like a ball of thread played with by a cat, without a clue.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Squad leader, can you give me some cigarettes?"

Hou Jun was taken aback for a moment, and then he sneered: "What are you smoking? Don't learn anything, learn to smoke."

Li Zheng insisted: "Give me one."

Hou Jun froze for a moment, then took out the cigarette case, pulled out one and handed it over.

Li Zheng took it and bit his mouth. Hou Jun took out the lighter and lit it for him.

Li Zheng took a sharp breath, suddenly choked and coughed violently.

Hou Jun snorted and said, "Look! Why do people who don't know how to smoke smoke!"

Li Zheng didn't speak, just watched with a cigarette in his hand.

After a long time, he said: "Squad leader, our country is really good."

Hou Jun was taken aback, he didn't expect his soldier to say such a sentence.

"Okay, who doesn't know? Like in that old song, who doesn't say my hometown is good... right?"

As he spoke, he said a few words while biting the tune.

Li Zheng said: "I became a soldier because I was saved by a soldier. In fact, when I was a soldier, I was more or less thinking of repaying my gratitude. If you asked me at that time why I became a soldier, maybe I coped. Let me say something tall, I want to dedicate my youth to the country, and I want to defend my family and the country. But the meaning of the four words of "protecting the family and the country" may make me say it deeply, and I can only break the sentences I read in books. , there is no deep understanding, let alone touch the soul."

Hou Jun asked: "Then you have touched the soul now?"

"Yeah." Li Zheng said: "When I was patrolling today, I met a kid selling chewing gum. He kept begging me to buy one from him. I didn't buy it because of discipline. I just thought about it. Even if I didn't violate discipline , even if I buy it, I can help him with one, but so what? Look around the camp, there are so many children watching there every day, and they seem to sell us something. In China, they are all of school age, but here Hehe, what are you talking about going to school? When I met that little boy today, Fatty Wei and I made a defensive posture when he was taking out his pocket, but he was so frightened that he immediately raised his hands and used a very standard surrender gesture to indicate that he did not Maliciousness... and he knows French, ordinarily people at this age who haven't gone to school can't understand French, it seems that he not only came to our peacekeeping camp to sell things, but also went to the French army to sell things..."

Li Zheng took a cigarette, took a deep breath, and was choked to cough again.

After coughing, he continued: "That posture is too skillful, I dare say he does it often...so what makes him do it?"

He looked at Hou Jun.

Hou Jun smoked silently, finished one, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, and lit another.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zheng continued to sigh with emotion: "I suddenly understood, what's the point of being a soldier. Maybe others say, if you don't serve as a soldier, many people will go to serve as a soldier; if you go to serve as a soldier, it's for the future Is it recommended to be a graduate student? When I encountered this kind of thing before, I always lacked the confidence to refute. But now I want to understand that the meaning of my military service is that if every young man can be a soldier like me, and be a good one Come back, truly consolidate our national defense, our descendants, our compatriots, will not be like this little boy today, who has to sell chewing gum for a living when he is in school..."

Hou Jun nodded: "Yeah, actually I don't dare to say how noble I am, but at least I have something to be proud of as a soldier, even if it's not for the praise of others, at least I feel that I have done something meaningful, eh , By the way, didn't Xu Sanduo say that it should be meaningful..."

After speaking, he smiled.

Li Zheng also smiled.

After talking with Hou Jun, Li Zheng felt much more at ease.

But he still hasn't learned to smoke.

Cigarettes are really hard to smoke.

Finally, he said to Hou Jun: "Cigarettes are really hard to smoke, why do you still smoke, monitor?"

Hou Jun laughed and said, "You think I'm smoking cigarettes? What I'm smoking is loneliness..."

After speaking, he patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, got up and left.

"Go back to sleep! There are still many tasks tomorrow!"

Li Zheng thought for a while, and shouted at Hou Jun's back: "Squad leader, you have to find someone!"

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket!
