The assessment process is very difficult for Fugui.

The off-road assessment in the morning made him feel overwhelmed, and then the Sanda in the morning, and his grades were very unsatisfied. Only the shooting assessment in the afternoon gave him a little confidence.

When his last shot was completed, the voice of the target responder floated over: "Ten Rings...", and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When he returned to the dormitory, he was about to wash his face when Xiaoyu broke in, with a care on his face: "Fugui, how about it?"

Fugui put down the basin: "It should be no problem." After saying that, he said regretfully: "But my Sanda is not very good."

"Look." Xiaoyu was a little nervous and said to Fugui, "I just told you to exercise more often, but you don't listen. Oh, you said it would be so embarrassing if you were deported. By the way, how are the other players of your team performing?"

Fugui was about to answer, but Zhang Chengliang and Jin Hui walked in with a chat and laugh.

Fugui pointed at them and said with a smile: "No need to answer, you can tell by looking at your expression."

Zhang Chengliang smiled honestly: "It's okay, I probably won't be repatriated. Fugui, I saw it today. Your marksmanship is so good. When will you teach me?"

Fugui smiled embarrassedly: "I really don't know how to fight. Oh, I can't tell you clearly."

Jin Hui glanced at him: "Then stop talking. You southerners can keep everything you do. Actually, what's the matter? Even if we have poor shooting results, we will never be deported."

Xiaoyu was a little unhappy and stared at Jin Hui and shouted: "Hey, hey, why are you talking? What's wrong with the southerners?"

Jin Hui glanced at him: "It's nothing, it's just a lot of heart."

Fugui knew Xiaoyu's temper and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly pulled Xiaoyu aside and said, "Forget it, he is just like this. He always speaks sarcastically, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

After dinner, Fugui returned to the dormitory and was about to find a notebook, Du Shengli ran in and said happily: "Comrades, let me tell you good news. I have free activities tonight and political studies have been cancelled."

Zhang Chengliang looked at him in disbelief: "Is it true or false?"

"Why are you lying to you? If you don't believe me, please see if Liming is there?" Du Shengli lowered his voice again and said, "Liming went to the squadron leader for a meeting, maybe to report the results of this assessment."

Jin Hui put the notebook in his bag and said, "What meeting is he going to do? Could it be that the squadron leader comforted him? Maybe he will be eliminated. Alas, Liangzi, what would be the result if he was eliminated? Haha, I think he will be crazy."

Before Zhang Chengliang could answer, Liu Long took over and said, "I think so, this kid is too flamboyant. If he is eliminated, it would be a great pleasure."

Fugui sounded a little awkward, turned around and looked at them and said, "Why do you think so? It's a bit unauthentic."

Zhang Chengliang also expressed his objection: "That's right, it's not easy to come here, so how good it can be left behind. Besides, Zhang Yang is someone else's personality, but it's nothing."

Jin Hui smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this a joke? Haha. By the way, you forgot that he lied to you to wash clothes? Is that authentic? Hey, I heard that after this assessment, each team will be adjusted. If you let me be the team leader, I promise to report it to the top so that we can communicate so that we can not even send letters to our homes during the holidays."

When he spoke of faith, Fugui suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

It’s almost the Spring Festival, but I haven’t contacted my family so far, especially the promise to the swallows has become empty talk.

I don’t know if Yan Zi is okay at home, nor how disappointed it would be if Yan Zi had no news about him.

If you were at home, you should be busy buying New Year’s goods with your family at this time. In that remote mountain village, you should be vaguely hearing the sound of firecrackers.

He couldn't spend the two Spring Festivals with his family. Now, he still doesn't know how many longing and lonely Spring Festivals he has to spend.

The strong homesickness complex suddenly penetrated his former dream. He came to this desolate and vast Gobi Desert to fulfill the promise of the swallow. However, if there were no swallows in the future, he would not know what his value was for coming here.

Sometimes, he would miss the swallows in the distance on the long night. The deep thought made him feel a heart-wrenching pain. The swallow's figures would fall into his dreams countless times, and he could vaguely feel the short and ethereal warmth. However, every time he was awakened by the moonlight, what else could he remember besides two lines of clear tears?

Every time I look at the photos of the swallow under the cold moonlight and look at her sweet smile, I always look forward to it, hoping that there will be her pretty figure in my dream, even if she has a faint smile.

Recalling the attachment that appeared in Yan Zi's eyes when she was leaving countless times, his heart suddenly twitched. Yan Zi's eyes made him blame himself again and again. He could not give Yan Zi anything, but made her look forward to the letter from afar in her concern and longing.

But what about his promise??

On the day when the comrades were eliminated, Fugui stared blankly at the comrades who had trained with him, and walked out of the military camp silently with tears in his arms, carrying his backpack on his backpack, and kept looking back at the flying military flag in the center of the training ground. He suddenly felt a sense of loss...

One month, just one month, actually determines a person's life's fate! Maybe they were still iron-clad men when they arrived in the original army, but their lives were painted a faint gray on this desolate Gobi Desert. Perhaps, from now on, their footprints will never step into this hot land again, but their memories will stay here forever, because this place will always be their dream!

"What's wrong? I'm in a bad mood?" Fugui knew it was Xiaoyu when he heard the voice.

He turned around, Xiaoyu and Xin Yi also stood behind him and looked at the military vehicles that were leaving.

The military vehicles gradually moved away, with only rolling yellow dust flying in the vast Gobi Desert.

"I wonder if I can meet again in the future?" Fugui murmured.

"This has been like this since ancient times, the soldiers who have been fighting hard in the camp have been working together for more than a month, and suddenly parted, and I feel a little regretful for them." Xin Yi sighed and said.

Xiaoyu looked at Fugui with a sincere smile on his face and said, "What I worry about the most is you, as long as you are not eliminated. Now there are only three of us who are here, so let's take a good grasp."

"Hey, buddy, let it go." Liu Long and Jin Hui walked out of the water room with a large basin of clothes.

Xiaoyu was a little puzzled and chased after him and asked, "Hey, why did you two wash clothes? They have washed a lot. The sun won't come out from the west."

Liu Long sighed and pointed to the mountain wandering around the back of the military camp and said, "Aren't you resting this afternoon? I have nothing to do to make a bet with that kid. If I lose, I can only admit that I am unlucky."

"Betting? What bet?" Xin Yiyi became interested.

Jinhui said while drying clothes: "He bragged to me and said he could play harmonica. I don't believe it. I've never seen him play before, so I bet with him. Unexpectedly, that kid played really well. I didn't expect him to have that thing. Oh, the water is so cold." After that, he shook his hands that were so cold that they were red, and put them beside his mouth and breathed.

"Hey, what do you think, Liming is wandering around the back mountain?" Xiaoyu asked at Liming in the distance.

It was bare on the back mountain. From a distance, I saw Liming lowering his head and wandering around aimlessly, as if he was thinking about some heavy thoughts.

Xin Yi looked at it for a while and guessed, "It's not that he was eliminated, right? No, if he was eliminated, he would have taken the bus and left. I think this kid is not authentic and wouldn't have dated anyone, right?"

"Dating someone? You can think about it. Let's talk about girls in a radius of hundreds of miles. I'll look for a female wolf, I don't have any brains at all." Xiaoyu glanced at Xin Yi.

Xin Yi smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, hey, then what do you think he is doing?"

After watching for a long time, Xiaoyu pulled everyone and said, "Anyway, we're fine in the afternoon. You'll know if you go and take a look."

They climbed up the ridge, and Dawn had already walked into the vicissitudes of poplar forest at the foot of the mountain. He seemed to be full of worries, looking up at the withered poplar trees in a daze.

Liu Long shouted, and Liming seemed to wake up from his dream, looking back at them blankly.

They walked over and looked at the bare poplar surrounding them and joked, "Daoming, why are you hiding here? Could it be a date with a girl?"

Liming nodded and said seriously: "It's just a date, but the girl was scared away by you crooked men."

Xin Yi pointed at him and shouted, "You guy's words are just a loss, why are we so slandering?"

Liming smiled and said nothing.

After a long time, Liming asked, "Are they leaving?"

Xiaoyu nodded, "Let's go. To be honest, we feel quite uncomfortable when they leave. How good is it to keep it here? Why are you doing the assessment?"

Liming asked Fugui for a cigarette, took a few sips and said calmly: "It's better to leave. Survival of the fittest. This is the law of nature and is also responsible for their lives."

Fugui didn't believe what he said. He suddenly felt that Liming was far away from him and his comrades were eliminated like this, but he didn't seem to be sad at all, and his expression was still so calm.

He looked at Li Ming calmly spitting out smoke rings. His familiar face made him feel disgusted. He asked coldly: "Why do you say that? After all, they are our comrades-in-arms."

Liming seemed to feel something from his tone. He turned around and looked at Fugui calmly: "A lot of things are hard to explain now. Have you seen this? All plants cannot grow, only poplar euphratica. Why? Because other plants cannot adapt to the climate here, they were eliminated by the harsh climate here. The same is true for soldiers. If they cannot adapt to the environment, they will be eliminated."
