Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 549 - 546

Because no matter whether he has a physical disability, defects, he would always belong to the country.

"... That’s the situation, and I’ve already spoken with the jurisdiction; after I leave, you will take over as the captain of the rescue team."

As Ga Zhuo was already equivalent to the deputy captain within the team, this was not in question.

Ga Zhuo looked at him, listening to him speaking about leaving, and suddenly, for a man in his thirties from the Tibetan Area, his vision blurred inexplicably. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

His lips moved, but for a moment, he couldn’t say anything.

The captain had everything arranged, only telling him about this final step at last.

In the end, Ga Zhuo only said one sentence, "No matter where you go, remember you still have this group of brothers, and remember... to come back and visit."

Yes.

Come back and see these brothers from Qinghai.

They would miss him.

Lu Xiao raised his fist and bumped it against his in the air, his resolve bouncing out in two words: "Definitely."

With that, he spoke in a low and serious tone, "When we get married in Beijing, you all have to come."

"Do you even have to ask?"

Ga Zhuo laughed.

But as he laughed, he turned slightly away, smoking a cigarette on one side, and mumbled vaguely, "Alright then, I’ll get these kids moving, let’s have a good time today."

With those words, he left.

However, after he turned around, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and his eyes reddened slightly, becoming both sour and swollen.

Lu Xiao watched his retreating figure: "..."

Three years as teammates, brothers for life.

...

When Lu Xiao re-entered the cabin, Wen Xian was getting ready to bring out the rice wine they had brewed for his brothers to try.

Today they were camping here, so apart from a few on guard duty, it wouldn’t be a problem for the others to drink a little rice wine. This rice wine had a very low alcohol content, mostly just sour and sweet, perfect with roasted meat.

Just as Wen Xian was about to carry a jar of wine out, Lu Xiao suddenly embraced her from behind.

Wen Xian was startled, "What, what’s wrong...?"

Lu Xiao’s arms tightened a bit, yet he still didn’t speak.

Wen Xian: "..."

She silently placed the jar of rice wine on the countertop, her hand resting on top of his.

She held onto him, as if to reassure.

Wen Xian didn’t ask what it was about, only felt that Lu Xiao at this moment seemed somewhat heavy-hearted.

No, exceptionally heavy-hearted.

Whatever the specific reason was, if he wanted to talk about it, he would naturally tell her.

But still, out of the blue, what could it be?

Could it be that he knew he was leaving and thus was feeling this way...?

Thinking this, she hesitated, but decided to be honest with him:

"Dear, even though I don’t know how long this trip abroad will take, and I don’t know when I will return, but—"

She paused in her tone:

"But no matter what, I hope you can be reassured. I am not the incompetent I once was; I can cook, perform first aid, escape danger. I will come back safely to see you, and you have to promise me as well to be safe here."

By the end, she herself felt a little lost.

But she knew that whether it was filming or participating in the national conservation activities, it was her job.

Perhaps it’s because everyone has to go through the bitterness of departure and the longing, that when they reunite, they feel even happier and more joyful.

As her words fell—
