Chapter 1358: Quiet Wind
Ye Jian’s eyes were red as she looked at the old man’s black and white photo. She said softly, “Grandpa, during the summer vacation, I went to the seaside for training. I entered the only frogman commando team in my country that doesn’t belong to any military district.”
“The training was tough. After the first day, the captain made me wear specially-made shoes and run along the beach. I climbed over the reefs and ran while carrying weights. Fortunately, when you and Principal Chen were training me in the past, I had sandbags tied to my calves so I didn’t embarrass myself on the first day.”
“Captain Xia told me that the captain who trained me is a capable person. His training is known for its harshness. The comrades in the military unit call him ‘Demon King’. However, I don’t think it’s his comrades who gave him this nickname but instead, it’s his codename.”
“The training was indeed harsh. For the first ten days, I only had about three hours of sleep every day. The rest of the time, I was training, diving training, weight-bearing diving training, underwater shooting, combat training, and carrying weapons to swim in rubber diving suits from one island to another overnight.”
“It was tough, but it was fulfilling too. I’ve learned professional knowledge that I’ve never learned before. Grandpa, I like this kind of training. It’s interesting. I can endure it no matter how hard it is. After I sleep, I can continue. My comrades in the team all said that I’m too scary. They feel pressured.”
That year, when Grandpa saved her from the Ye family, he secretly asked Principal Chen to groom her. He trained with her in the mountains and in the cold. When the heat was unbearable, he even accompanied her to the desert. It was not until she slowly stood firm and gained Uncle Chen’s approval that he gradually let go.
It could be said that she was able to achieve what she had today because of Grandpa Gen’s guidance. He was like a lamp. No matter where she went, he would light up her path and tell her not to stray and lose herself.
He knew that she hated Ye Zhifan and his family. He was afraid that she would do something out of line at such a young age. He kept reminding her to look into the distance and find the right path first. She shouldn’t be so impatient. She shouldn’t hit a rock with an egg and ruin her roots.
All these memories seemed to have happened yesterday.
“After the training ended, I didn’t really want to leave. Captain Xia told me that he will send me over during the winter vacation. He also told me that I probably won’t have much time to go home during the four years of military school. I have to train during both holidays.”
“Grandpa, I feel that the military unit is grooming me to be a Special Forces soldier at the frontline. I want to be a Special Forces soldier like Captain Xia too. I want to return with blood and leave with a smile.”
Even without the old man’s reply, Ye Jian felt that the old man who always loved her was always by her side when she saw the kind smile on the old man’s photo.
Ye Ying’s screams could be heard from the foot of the mountain. It sounded as though someone was cutting her flesh. Ye Jian smiled and said, “Grandpa, the Special Forces should be having a hard time. Captain Xia always reminded me that my current training is just basic training. What do you think is the real training?”
“I really want to see what the real Special Forces training will be like. So, Grandpa, I will not disappoint you.” Ye Jian touched the tombstone lightly. The cold touch caused her eyes to tremble slightly. Grandpa had left but she will always remember his words. No matter what happens, she would never do anything to disappoint Grandpa!
