Chapter 1358: Calm
Ye Jian knelt on the ground, stared at the black-and-white photo of Old Uncle Gen with red eyes, and spoke softly, “Grandpa, I went to the seaside to train during the summer vacation and entered the training of the only Amphibious Frogman Commando in our country that is not affiliated with any military area.”
“Training was very hard. The captain asked me to put on the special shoes used for frogman training and run along the beach and over the rocks with weights. Fortunately, when you and Principal Chen trained me, I had sandbags tied at my calves, so I didn’t make a fool out of myself on the first day and smoothly stayed until the end.”
“Captain Xia told me that the captain who trained me is a capable person. His Training is famous for being harsh. All his comrades in the army called him “Devil King”, but I think it wasn’t his comrades that nicknamed him that but he himself did.”
“Training was really demanding. I only had about three hours of sleep a day for the first ten days. I spent the rest of the time training like, diving training, weight-bearing diving training, underwater shooting, fighting Training, and wearing a rubber diving suit and putting on my gears, swimming from one island to another island overnight.”
“It was hard work, but it was also very fulfilling. I also learned professional knowledge that I haven’t learned before. Grandpa, I like this kind of Training. It was very interesting. No matter how hard it was, I could endure it. All the comrades in the team said that as a female soldier, I was too terrifying, which put them under pressure.”
When Grandpa rescued her from the Ye Family that time and secretly asked Principal Chen to train her, she had trained in mountains, plateau, and winter places; she also trained in the desert when the heat was too intense, until she could slowly stand on her own two feet, and got Uncle Chen’s thorough approval.
She could have today was due to her grandfather’s guidance in the early stage. He was like a lamp; no matter where she went, he illuminated her direction and told her not to go astray and lose herself.
Knowing that she hated Ye Zhifan and his family and fearing that she would do something wrong, her grandfather had always told her to look far and find her own right path first, rather than rushing for success. Don’t hit rocks with stones; you’ll only hurt yourself.
All of these beautiful memories were as if it had just happened yesterday.
“At the end of the Training, I actually didn’t want to leave anymore. Captain Xia told me that if I wanted to come again, he would send me over again during winter vacation. He also told me that I might not have time to go home during my four years of military school because I will have to stay back for Training during my summer and winter vacations.”
“Grandpa, I feel like the army is going to train me as a special forces soldier on the front line. I also want to be in a special combat force like Captain Xia and the rest, who can return with blood on their bodies and leave with smiles on their faces.”
Ye Jian spoke everything she wanted to say in her heart, even if there was no response from Old Uncle Gen, just looking at the kind smile in his photo, Ye Jian felt that the old relative, who had always loved her, had never really left her side.
Ye Ying faint screams could be heard from the foot of the mountain, and every scream sounded like a gouge of her flesh. Ye Jian chuckled softly: “Grandpa, the special force should be very tiring. Captain Xia often reminds me that my current Training is just basic Training. Grandpa, what is real Training like then?”
“I really want to try out the real special force training, so Grandpa, I will not let you down.” She touched the tombstone. The cold feeling made Ye Jian’s eyes tremble slightly. Grandpa had left. But the words he left for her would always be remembered. She would never do anything that would disappoint Grandpa!
