There were a total of 24 bottles in the two boxes of beer. Chengcai knocked out 21 bottles alone, and Hu Yanhua knocked out 3 bottles.
There was such a disparity in performance between the two sides. It wasn't that Hu Yanhua's marksmanship wasn't good or inaccurate, but that he became an expert too quickly and he didn't have time to shoot.
Every time he just saw the beer bottle, he didn't even see the beer bottle yet.
"Pa~"
Guns went off and bottles shattered.
In this kind of competition where the two sides prioritize reaction speed and secondarily their marksmanship, Hu Yanhua's speed cannot keep up, so no matter how good his marksmanship is, there is no use for it.
You couldn't even see the beer bottles that flew out, so they were hit first by the other party.
It's more like a hammer than a hammer.
Chengcai's miraculous marksmanship showed what real hard power is, and really shocked every soldier in the division's reconnaissance camp.
I deeply and fully realize the strength of Old A, and the legendary A Team is indeed well-deserved.
A cooking class is so fierce that they can easily defeat the sharpshooters of the division headquarters' reconnaissance battalion. It would be better if they were replaced by a regular class.
Everyone looked at Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo, and their eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
Gao Cheng, who originally wanted to compete for a few more rounds and master A in all aspects, lost all his energy when he saw the huge gap between the two sides.
They've all been beaten to shit, so what's the point of competing?
To continue to compete is to continue to be embarrassed!
From the moment he realized it, he knew clearly that the A Brigade built by concentrating the entire army's strength was not something that a mere divisional reconnaissance battalion could defeat.
The obsession in Gao Cheng's heart disappeared, and he was completely desperate and no longer had any luck.
The whole person became lighter!
but.
Although I had figured it out in my mind, I was still unhappy and felt a strong feeling of unhappiness.
"Awesome, you win."
Gao Cheng walked up to Chengcai expressionlessly, stared into Chengcai's eyes and said: "Old A, the King of Soldiers, haha, you are really a veritable King of Soldiers.
It is said that this marksmanship is learned by feeding bullets. I believe Jackie Chan said that you have been in the cooking class for a year and have never touched a gun.
But I'm curious, what did you do to feed yourself like this? "
The question Gao Cheng asked was also something everyone was curious about.
Everyone’s ears stood up!
"possible……"
Chengcai won but was not proud at all. He still said with a calm expression: "Because there are fewer opportunities, I cherish them more."
"More than that."
Gao Cheng's eyes changed when he saw Chengcai. He put his hands on his hips and pointedly said: "The cooking class is good. Going to the cooking class is a good thing. It makes your mind stable.
When the mind is steady, the hands will be steady, and the most important thing in marksmanship is the word stability.
When you were still in the Seventh Steel Company, you were always clamoring to be the Gun King and the God of Guns, and even went to the Third Company. Now you finally got your wish and really became the Gun King.
Tell me, should I congratulate you? "
In fact, Gao Cheng's heart and hands have stabilized since he said it, which is equivalent to affirming Chengcai's self-salvation, and the anger in his heart has basically disappeared.
In the past, my achievements were so high-spirited that my mind was always floating in the sky and never settled down.
During this year of settling down in the cooking class, the edges and corners of Cheng Cai's body were polished off, and his mind was tempered, allowing him to finally stabilize his mind.
This is how it matures.
As for the last rhetorical question Gao Cheng said, it was purely the final test of becoming a talent.
If he was the talented person who liked to express himself before, he would definitely hope that Gao Cheng could praise him and show his face well in front of everyone.
However, the current success is really mature, and all the previous problems have been abandoned.
Facing Gao Cheng's percussive question, Chengcai didn't look at the sky like before, but slightly lowered his chin and looked down.
He said very humbly and calmly: "Thank you, deputy battalion commander, for the compliment, but I... am not a great gunner."
"Yes, the answer is perfect. This is the most normal way to open up the sniper rifle king Chengcai. With awareness, the future will be smooth." Jackie Chan applauded Chengcai in his heart.
"As a talent, excessive humility is arrogance. The mistakes you made in the past do not represent your current strength in the future. You know your current strength. You have to get used to being called the King of Guns. If you have strength, you can hold your chest high."
Gao Cheng couldn't see Chengcai being selfish before, and he couldn't see Chengcai being so humble now.
Then he educated: "Just like Xu Sanduo, he used to be called a fool and an idiot, but now he is Lao A, the King of Soldiers."
Gao Cheng is really a good company commander!
With a background like his, he could still care for the soldiers under his command, even if the soldiers had betrayed him.
Tell the truth.
Chengcai knelt down and kowtowed to Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng could bear it.
"Deputy battalion commander, Sanduo is not a fool or idiot. He should be called Dazhiruoyu. He is actually smarter than me. I am the fool." Chengcai said in a low voice.
"Ha ha."
Gao Cheng suddenly smiled, a happy smile. He took out his cigarette case and said: "Are you hurting me? You said you were a fool, but you killed my sharpshooter. The entire division reconnaissance battalion will take it again." If you don’t have anyone to compare with you, does that mean we are worse than fools?”
"No, no, deputy battalion commander..."
Cheng was really shocked when such a big hat was thrown off. He quickly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Gao Cheng.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I'll scare you to the point of panic."
Gao Cheng took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth to light it. He walked back and shouted: "No more competition, the shit has been beaten out, and it's still a fart comparison.
Let's all go back, keep drinking, and become talented. You have to learn from your brother. If you can't even drink a few glasses of wine, you are still a king of shotguns and soldiers. "
"Hey, here comes the show."
Jackie Chan knew the meaning as soon as he heard it, and knew that Gao Cheng wanted to have a feud.
Seeing that Chengcai was still in a daze, he lightly kicked his butt, and then gave him a fierce look, meaning that he would take advantage of it.
Cheng Cai is a smooth person, so he reacted immediately.
He ran to the nearest table, took two bottles of beer, opened the lid, picked up a bottle of beer in one hand, and ran back to Gao Cheng.
He said from the bottom of his heart: "Deputy Battalion Commander, I have a lot to say to you, but I don't know how to start.
Soldiers are poor, really poor. Now think about it, except for team, comrades and persistence, these are the most precious things. In the end, nothing is left.
I feel… I feel…”
Chengcai suddenly choked up as he spoke, as if his next words were stuck.
Gao Cheng used encouragement instead of encouragement and said: "What do you think? There are so many people, so let's make everyone happy."
"if……"
Chengcai held it in for a while and said, "I think if a person can only serve as a soldier once in his life, he must understand those six words.
Those six words that I once forgot - don't abandon, don't give up. "
Speaking of this, Chengcai could no longer hold back his emotions, and tears streamed from the corners of his eyes.
With his eyes red and full of tears, he choked and said, "I know it's too late to say anything now. I regret it now, I really regret leaving the Seventh Company at that time.
Four thousand nine hundred and forty-four, this was the number I was in the Seventh Company at that time.
I know how you think of me now, and I also know how everyone thinks of me. In your hearts, I am just a deserter and a traitor.
But, company commander, I want to tell you, I was wrong, I was really wrong, so wrong. "
When Chengcai said this, he was choked up and speechless.
It is said that a good boy never sheds tears easily, and would rather bleed than shed tears, but a man who is more than 1.7 meters tall is here bursting into tears.
Bai Tiejun and Gan Xiaoning, who originally hated Chengcai and looked down upon him, are now embarrassed.
On the basis of being shocked by Chengcai's skills before, and now listening to Wancai's heartfelt words, I felt inexplicably sour inside.
The hatred and disgust towards Chengcai in my heart also disappeared unconsciously at this moment.
It was like the marshmallow melted into the water and completely disappeared.
Gao Cheng saw Chengcai's tears and felt Chengcai's sincere apology, and a smile of relief and relief appeared on his lips.
And expressed in action.
He took the initiative to go over and hug Chengcai. He held the old man who was crying like a child tightly in his arms and patted his back gently.
While taking the photo, he whispered: "Well done, you are a great person. I forgive you. Really, everything in the past is in the past."
Chengcai lay on Gao Cheng's shoulder like a child, laughing again before his tears dried.
Can be forgiven by Gao Cheng.
I'm so happy to be successful.
Getting up from Gao Cheng's arms, Chengcai cried with joy and wiped away his tears without saying another word. There was no need to say anything more at this time.
Everything is shown by actions!
"Company Commander, I did it!!"
Chengcai raised the beer bottle in his hand, put it to his mouth and drank it. After drinking one bottle, he changed another, and continued to blow into the bottle.
Gao Cheng did not stop Chengcai, he knew that Chengcai needed to vent his emotions.
Two bottles of beer were blown down in one breath. The moment Chengcai took down the beer bottles, no one needed to take the lead. The whole audience burst into applause.
It is not only to applaud Chengcai for his good drinking ability, but also to applaud Chengcai for reborn as a new person.
From this moment on...
The selfish sage died, and a new sage was born.
Jackie Chan looked on and smiled.
Xu Sanduo also smiled, showing two rows of big teeth.
…
The dinner yielded unexpected fruits, and the achievement of redemption has changed again. He is no longer as humble as before, always keeping his head down no matter where he goes.
The smile returned to Chengcai's face, making him look more cheerful and confident.
Maybe there were too many things that happened tonight, and he was so happy to be forgiven by the company commander Gao Cheng, which made his brain extremely excited with excitement.
At night, everyone in the division's reconnaissance camp fell asleep, but Chengcai still didn't go back to his tent to sleep.
Jackie Chan, who did not drink with the Class 5 people during the dinner, sneaked into the Class 5 dormitory after the dinner and had a few drinks with the Class 5 people.
When I came back from drinking, I happened to see Chengcai, squatting on the wall and staring at the sky in a daze.
"Why are you doing here if you don't want to sleep at night?" Jackie Chan walked over and asked.
"It's nothing, I just want to stay here for a while." Chengcai said with a smile.
"Are you worried?"
Jackie Chan sat next to Chengcai.
"It seems that I have lived in vain for the past twenty years, and it is only today that I have become truly enlightened."
Chengcai seemed to be telling Jackie Chan, or talking to himself, looking up at the sky and muttering to himself in a low voice: "My name is Chengcai, but until now, I don't know what kind of talent I have become.
I only think about being better than others. Whoever is better than me, I will find a way to surpass him. I am already stronger than others, and I just want to become stronger.
Brother, I have always wanted to surpass you, but you are like a mountain that I can’t cross no matter what.
It was stretched, kept stretched, it was so tight that it felt like it was about to break, but I kept using various means to force it forward.
I thought that I could succeed and surpass you. This is actually a joke.
It wasn't until I was sent to the cooking class that I truly understood what contentment meant. Only when I understood these two words did I truly understand life.
The sky turned out to be blue, the air turned out to be clear, and the grassland turned out to be green.
But I worked myself too hard, without any moisture or color at all. I gave up a lot of things and turned into a bag of gravel.
I think it's heavy, but it's actually of no use, and it's still in the way. "
Only when you become successful can you laugh at yourself and prove that your mentality is stable.
"The fact that you can recognize these mistakes shows that you have grown up and there is still a long way to go. It is not too late. Yuan Lang threw you into the cooking class, which proves that he did the right thing." Jackie Chan said happily.
"I used to hate Yuan Lang and hate him for not wanting me, but now I don't hate him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have realized my mistake. I should thank him." Chengcai said with a smile.
"You really have to thank a lot of people, otherwise..." Jackie Chan deliberately stopped mid-sentence.
"In the past, I only knew how to thank myself. I didn't understand people who were satisfied and didn't know what gratitude meant. But now I understand that there are too many people to thank in this life."
Chengcai was very moved and sighed and said: "Far away are my parents, and close are San Duo, Wu Liuyi, Shi Jin, squad leader, company commander and instructor.
And you, brother, I want to thank you most. Although you have never taken the initiative to say anything, I know that you have been helping me. "
"Young man, don't be so disgusting."
Jackie Chan patted Cheng Cai on the back of the head. Ever since he was a child, he had become accustomed to hitting and turned into reaching out. He changed the subject and asked, "You must have had enough of the cooking class. What are your plans next?"
"Have you stayed enough? No, that's not the case."
Chengcai smiled and shook his head and said: "Brother, you may not believe it, but I can stare at a crawling insect for an entire afternoon, really.
I used to laugh at the idiot three idiots when they looked at ants, but then I realized that I was the stupid one.
That feeling is really down-to-earth, really down-to-earth, and comfortable from the inside out. You don't have to think about surpassing anyone like before. "
Gao Cheng said before that Cheng Cai's heart is stable, but actually he has to add another sentence before that.
It is because the mind is calm that it is stable.
"The life of the cooking class is very slow, which can make people's hearts gradually calm down, but I think people can't live too comfortably."
Jackie Chan looked up at the starry night sky and said meaningfully: "There is a saying, live in sorrow and die in happiness.
A person's life is only a few decades, and he will always feel comfortable lying in a coffin.
Before that, we still have to find a goal for ourselves. No matter how vigorous it is, at least we can make our life more interesting, don’t you think? "
"Yes, being too comfortable is not a good thing."
Cheng Cai agreed with Jackie Chan's point of view, took a deep breath and exhaled it and said: "So, I can't continue to stay in the cooking class..."
Just when Jackie Chan thought that he would take advantage of the opportunity to become a talent, he was preparing to participate in this year's Lao A selection.
Chengcai suddenly made a sharp turn and said: "Compared with you, I am not a soldier at all, and I will never be able to surpass you. My world may be outside.
I decided to retire after serving as a non-commissioned officer and help my father go back to manage the quarry.
Uncle Baishun's family is Yi Le and Er He, but dad has no one to help him. He is getting older now, and those who have worked hard..."
"Tell me again!"
Jackie Chan grabbed Chengcai's collar and lifted him up from the ground. He stared at Chengcai with eyes full of anger.
"I think……"
"What the hell are you thinking!"
Cheng Cai was interrupted again before he could finish his words, and Jackie Chan threatened fiercely: "A brother is like a father. If dad is not here, I will take care of you on his behalf.
Dad is now in his prime, and I want you to go back and help me.
I'll give you two ways to go now, either take back what you just said and go and participate in this year's Lao A selection, or I'll break your legs. "
"Brother, it's not necessary, I just..."
"Um??"
Cheng Cai didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and wanted to muddle through the situation with laughter, but Jackie Chan gave him a look and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
Nie Nie could only say: "I have already been eliminated once. If I still participate this year, they will definitely not choose me again."
"Let your mother go..."
Jackie Chan blurted out the curse words, but suddenly remembered that the two of them were brothers, and scolding his mother was equivalent to scolding himself, so he could only hold back the last two words.
He grabbed Chengcai's collar and threw it forward, throwing Chengcai to the ground.
He said categorically: "As long as you have the strength and the diamond in hand, are you afraid that no one will want you? I say you can do it, you can do it.
You have already deserted once, do you want to do it a second time?
I'll put it here for you. There is no coward in our old family, and I won't allow cowards to appear. You just have to figure it out for me.
We're going home soon, and if you don't want to accept mixed doubles, dad and I will beat you up together.
You'd better change your mind as soon as possible. Don't give me all these things. You can only have one idea, and that is to participate in the selection of Lao A, and you must be selected.
No one in the army dares to say bad things about me, not even you as my younger brother.
I allow you to make a mistake once, but I will never allow you to make the same mistake twice. Do you understand? "
Chengcai didn't look like he was joking when he saw Jackie Chan. In fact, deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to accept it and still had the dream of becoming Lao A.
Now that he was forced by Jackie Chan, the unwillingness in Cheng Cai's heart was ignited by Jackie Chan again.
He got up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, and said unconfidently: "Okay, brother, I know, I'll try my best to give it a try."
"Pa~"
Jackie Chan's lightning-fast slap hit Cheng Cai again on the back of the head.
"There is no such thing as a try. You can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, you have to weigh whether you can hold my fist as big as a casserole."
Jackie Chan raised his huge fist and waved it in front of Cheng Cai.
Chengcai couldn’t laugh or cry!
He couldn't bear Jackie Chan's casserole-sized fist. In order to avoid being beaten by Jackie Chan, Cheng Cai could only grit his teeth secretly and give it a try in this selection.
It's for Jackie Chan, but also for myself.
Regardless of whether Yuan Lang can be selected in the end, as long as you try your best, you will not regret it. Everything will be left to time.
