Chapter 378: Brother Lu must have gone to the training ground again to torture himself. (Updated)
"You, comrade, what are you talking about?"
"Just say bad things about my Xiaoxi."
"Can you please not talk nonsense?"
"..."
Aunt Tian, who was the first to recover from her shock, angrily grumbled.
"I told you not to speak ill of my daughter-in-law and to accuse my Xiao Ting of misconduct."
"Just wait and see how I deal with you..."
Yes, Comrade Jiang Xiaoyan, mother of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, raised her voice and punched female soldier Xiao Chunying.
"I didn't say anything bad, and I didn't frame Su Nianxi."
"It's true that she was raped, it's true that she's pregnant, and it's also true that she brought shame upon Brother Chen Ting."
"Besides, it's also true that I'm pregnant with Brother Chen Ting's baby."
"..."
The shameless female soldier Xiao Chunying finally broke into the house, but she couldn't stop slapping her big mouth. She tried her best to swear.
"you you……"
"me--"
Old Madam Lu's blood pressure had already skyrocketed due to her harsh words and the subsequent statement that female soldier Xiao Chunying was pregnant with her grandson.
Now, the careless female soldier Xiao Chunying did it again—
Tsk! Madam Lu's forehead exploded, and she fainted from anger.
Aunt Tian: "Hey! Old lady——"
Commander Lu Qing: "Mom——"
Old Chief Lu Qidong: "Hongying——"
Cousin Chen Yu: "Grandma——"
Deng Yiran's cousin: "Grandma..."
Deputy Head Qiao Zhihong: "Oh! God..."
Everyone present was horrified and screamed in panic.
"..."
"!!!"
"It's none of my business—"
"I'm just discussing the matter at hand..."
The culprit, Comrade Xiao Chunying, knew that she had gotten into trouble. She was very nervous and retreated out of the main room while still trying to defend herself.
In an instant, the master bedroom of Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, the living devil, became a mess.
however--
Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, the living devil, seemed to be unaware of all this farce. As if possessed by another body, he was still immersed in the sorrow of losing his lover - standing there in a daze, motionless.
Another ten days passed.
Commander's office.
Commander Liu Qifeng sat in his office chair with a serious face, rubbing his eyebrows, and said nothing.
"Old Liu——"
"Chen Ting's wife, is she really gone just like that???"
"..."
Political Commissar Jiang Daye, with a pair of dull, bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice, asked without giving up.
"What a sin—"
"It's gone, it's really gone, Lao Jiang——"
"Old Liu! How come we can't even have a military wife..."
Deputy Division Commander Chen Zhilong, with a dejected look on his face, sat astride Division Commander Liu Qifeng and spoke in a rough voice.
"Situations like that night."
"The rain was so heavy, the flood was so severe, and the dam broke—"
"..."
"Twenty days—"
"In the past twenty days or so, the search and rescue manpower has not been reduced—"
"Eh--"
Commander Liu Qifeng, with a worried and tired look on his face, murmured.
After Commander Liu Qifeng finished speaking, the three big men in the office fell silent again.
for a long time.
"Fur——"
"Old Liu, withdraw your troops——"
"Also, send two squads of soldiers to continue asking the surrounding villagers along both banks of the downstream..."
Division Commander Liu Qifeng finally gave the order to stop the large-scale search.
……
The next day, at the family compound.
Lu Chenting's uncle, Commander Lu Sen, learned about this and rushed back to Jilin Province from the northwest four days ago. He is now preparing to escort his mother and sister-in-law back to Beijing.
Well, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting’s grandfather, Old Chief Lu Qidong, and his father, Commander Lu Qing, rushed back to Beijing a few days ago due to work needs.
"Hey--"
"Xiao Ting, please stay!"
"If your mother and grandmother see you sending them off alone, they'll be overwhelmed and think of..."
"Stay!"
"They've been feeling better these past two days."
"And Aunt Tian, Xiao Wei, Yiran, Xiaoyu, and I, we will take good care of them on the way."
"I still have a few soldiers behind me, don't worry."
"Also, look forward to Xiao Ting..."
Lu Sen, the uncle of Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, the living devil, patted his right shoulder, which was as thin as a skeleton, and spoke slowly.
Then, he was silent for a few seconds, then opened his lips slightly and continued -
"Cough-cough-"
"Also, your grandfather and father asked me to tell you not to let Comrade Xiao show up at home in Jing City. They only recognize children..."
Commander Lu Sen was actually extremely disappointed with his nephew this time. Such a good niece-in-law was killed in such a miserable way.
After he said that, he turned and walked towards the three big bosses of the army not far away, namely, Division Commander Liu Qifeng, Deputy Division Commander Chen Zhilong and Political Commissar Jiang Daye, to greet and say goodbye.
"..."
After more than 20 days, the grief-stricken and emaciated Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, after hearing his uncle's words, kept his head slightly lowered, remained silent, and stood quietly.
for a long time.
"Eh!"
"Xiao Lu, where are you going again?"
"Wait a minute, I—"
When Deputy Captain Qiao Zhihong saw Deputy Captain Lu Chenting turn around and leave without saying a word, he chased after him and shouted loudly.
Well, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, the living devil, turned around quickly and headed towards the troops as soon as the jeeps carrying his family members disappeared from his sight.
"Hurry up and follow me——"
"Brother Lu must have gone to the training ground again, torturing himself."
Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan, who was with him, shouted loudly to the orderly Shen Xiaoqi beside him.
"Oh oh oh-"
In the past twenty days, orderly Shen Xiaoqi, who had treated his deputy commander Lu Chenting as a prisoner, was startled, said "Oh" three times in a row, and chased after him.
Ever since the accident of the pregnant Su Nianxixi baby, serviceman Shen Xiaoqi received a special order from Division Commander Liu, which was to keep an eye on his Deputy Regiment Commander Lu and not let the living devil Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting do anything stupid.
So, serviceman Shen Xiaoqi has been extremely nervous for the past twenty days or so.
Wherever the living devil Deputy Captain Lu Chenting went, he followed, especially when they went to the river to search for Su Nianxi's baby and Shen Xiaoqi, the orderly, his heart was in his throat, and he followed his own Deputy Captain Lu closely.
Given the state of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, who had been like a living hell for the past ten days or so, orderly Shen Xiaoqi was really afraid that he would do something crazy, so he took advantage of no one paying attention to him and jumped into the river to join his sister-in-law.
Tsk, even in the army, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, the living devil, would not let me go to the toilet, and would follow me like a little tail.
Well, only when Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao Zhihong, Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan, and the living devil Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting are with his family, will Serviceman Shen Xiaoqi feel a little relieved and breathe a sigh of relief.
……
The Lu family members who boarded the special train compartment were all filled with loss, sadness and grief.
"Mom, sister-in-law——"
"You didn't have much to eat for breakfast this morning."
"It's not time for dinner yet."
"Drink some water first—"
"Now that things have come to this, we all need to learn to look forward—"
"If Xiaoxi were here, she wouldn't want to see you like this—"
Lu Sen, the uncle of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, the living devil, took two enamel cups of water and sat opposite his mother, Mrs. Lu, and sister-in-law, Comrade Jiang Xiaoyan, to persuade them.
"..."
"Woo——"
"Xiao Xi..."
Comrade Jiang Xiaoyan, the mother of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, couldn't hold back her sobs and sobbed.
She loved her good daughter-in-law so much, from the bottom of her heart, to the very core, but——
Time passes, but the pain of losing a beloved daughter-in-law becomes more intense, like the wind in the dead of night in winter, silently and piercing the bones.
"Uuuuuu——"
"Woo..."
Aunt Tian, who was sitting next to her, had been holding back her grief all the way. When she was touched by Deputy Captain Lu Chenting's mother's words, she instantly broke down and started to sob.
She felt so sorry for her precious son Su Nianxi——
"Yan'er——"
"Aunt Tian——"
“Don’t cry—”
"My Xiaoxi must be sick of the little bastard. She doesn't want Xiaoting anymore and has to find a place to hide."
"We should be happy for her. She made the right choice to leave that little bastard Xiao Ting."
"He doesn't deserve such a good wife."
"..."
Listening to the crying, unspeakable sorrow surged in her heart. The strong Madam Lu gritted her teeth and spoke in a sonorous voice.
But no matter how sonorous it was, Mrs. Lu's voice was still filled with sadness.
"Um--"
"Mom, you're right—"
"Don't cry, Aunt Tian, we won't cry anymore. We should be happy for Xiaoxi——"
"That little bastard Lu Chenting doesn't deserve a wife as good as Xiaoxi."
"Unworthy—"
The mother of Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, the living devil, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, gnashed her teeth, and gurgled excitedly.
Well, when she thought of what female soldier Xiao Chunying said about her being pregnant with her grandson, she felt bad for her daughter-in-law Su Nianxi.
Even though female soldier Xiao Chunying later said that it was the result of the Chinese medicine taken by the two men during the last mission.
But betrayal is betrayal, there is no excuse for it.
The Lu family, everyone in the Lu family, inside and outside, all of them, truly loved their precious daughter Su Nianxi and regarded her as an indispensable member of the family.
Always stand on the side of Su Nianxi Baozi——
In Jilin Province, during the more than ten days following the A711 troops, the Lu family never saw the living devil, Deputy Commander Lu Chenting, and ignored his existence.
Mrs. Lu and others lived in the family compound in sorrow and agony, waiting for news of the safe return of their precious son Su Nianxi.
But always...
When leaving today, Mrs. Lu and her daughter-in-law did not speak a word or even glance at Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, the living devil.
He didn't dare to stay at home in the family compound, nor did he dare to stay in the bedroom where he and his wife had once been in love. Deputy Regimental Commander Lu Chenting, the living devil, hid like a coward and stayed in the army dormitory, suffering in extreme pain and sadness.
The search day after day without any result forced him to hide in the deserted dormitory, suffering from heart-wrenching pain, longing and regret.
***
On the training ground.
"It's over——"
"Old Qiao, my brother Lu, are we going to go ten kilometers again?"
"It's already this late."
"Please advise—"
"Go over and try to persuade them!"
When Captain Gu Yiyan of Erha saw that his childhood friend, Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, the living devil, was about to run away again, his face twisted like a rag and he spoke with a worried look.
"advise?"
"How do you persuade me?"
"You can do it, come on—"
"You go and persuade them."
Deputy Captain Qiao Zhihong frowned, glanced at the coward under his command, looked at him with disgust, and retorted helplessly.
"Forehead--"
"Don't."
"..."
"One, let's go together."
"Let's go together, three of us."
"I'm alone. No, I don't dare."
"The bruises I got from Brother Lu's training these days are still there and haven't faded at all!"
"Damn it, my big butt still hurts."
"..."
"or--"
"How about you and Xiao Qizi, figure out who will go first this time?"
"After I fell..."
Captain Gu Yiyan of Erha shuddered, took two steps back like a frightened bird, and spoke quickly with his eyes wide open.
"Tsk——"
"You coward, you also feel pain?"
"You're the only one who feels pain, you little coward, so why shouldn't I feel pain?"
"hold head high--"
"My right shoulder doesn't hurt anymore?"
"You idiot, you coward—"
The extremely furious Deputy Captain Qiao Zhihong looked at his golden partner, the living devil Deputy Captain Lu Chenting, who had already started running.
Then he stretched his right shoulder, which was still slightly swollen and painful, and glared at his battalion commander Gu Yiyan, lowering his voice and speaking through gritted teeth.
"..."
"Don't, don't look at me."
"As you know, Commander Liu gave me a mission."
"I'm too small to train with you."
"Yes, we must keep it and keep an eye on our Deputy Captain Lu."
Comrade Shen Xiaoqi, the orderly of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, the living devil, listened to the conversation between the two people beside him, and saw two daggers slashing towards him. He was so scared that he retreated one meter and uttered a horrified sound.
Well, serviceman Shen Xiaoqi was also trained by his own deputy regiment commander Lu six days ago. It was so painful that he was limping for several days in a row.
He has a mission to accomplish, so he is in big trouble.
"..."
"have to--"
"I'll keep an eye on Xiao Lu. Go find Captain Fang Linxing of the First Battalion of the First Regiment and Captain Chen Bin of the Second Battalion. Have them come over and practice with Deputy Regiment Commander Lu."
"We can't let Xiao Lu continue running."
"He can't stop running. It could kill people."
"He fainted several times—"
Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao Zhihong frowned and thought for a few seconds, then gave a firm order to Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan of Erha.
"Oh oh oh-"
"Keep your eyes peeled."
"I'll go right away."
Captain Gu Yiyan of Erha, when he recalled the previous times when his childhood friend ran without stopping and was exhausted to the point of fainting, he gave the order in fear.
……
At around 11:34 am, Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao Zhihong, Battalion Commander Gu Yiyan and Orderly Soldier Shen Xiaoqi were hiding in a corner of the training ground, their eyes and mouths twitching as they saluted the two poor Battalion Commanders Fang Linxing and Chen Bin who came down from the training ground and supported each other.
