Chapter 363 The little boy outside the barbed wire fence
The minefields around the camp have been cleared.
According to the tradition of the PLA, in the final task of demining, the demining troops themselves have to walk back and forth several times hand in hand in front of the local residents to ensure that the place is safe before handing it over to the place. This is almost the custom of China's border demining.
On the one hand, it is confidence in one's ability to clear mines, and on the other hand, it also provides reassurance to the public. This is like a master who makes pufferfish sashimi. When the dish is served, he has to take a bite himself, and the guests will eat it when it is fine.
It contains too much meaning, including responsibility, courage, ability...all of them.
But this is country L, and we don’t want to do this.
However, after arranging, while there were many people watching, Xia Zhiguo led his soldiers into the minefield and patrolled around it.
There was no ceremony, no applause, just walking in silence for the local people to see.
This is the first time that the Chinese peacekeeping force has been deployed to country L. The local people are unfamiliar with the PLA peacekeeping force. Where do these soldiers with yellow skin, black hair and dark eyes come from? Very few people know. What kind of country is China?
A few people know it.
Xia Zhiguo said that this is the best time to show our country's image. China is already a big country. It is like the elephant in the house. It can no longer hide its capabilities and bide its time. Then it must go international, show its presence on the stage, and assume its responsibilities.
assume the responsibility of being a great country.
Peacekeeping also has such a meaning behind it.
The minefield sign is gone and has been removed.
Now that we have reached this point, there is no point in inserting the sign saying that there is no silver 300 taels here.
Although there are advantages to demining, there are also disadvantages, especially now that the sandbox of the blast wall is not in place and cannot be effectively blocked. Without the protection of this "minefield", there is no way to stop the locals from approaching the camp and peeking inside.
.
Although these locals may not have any malicious intentions, it is just that there are too many people approaching, which still causes a lot of pressure on the officers and soldiers of the guard unit responsible for guarding the camp.
It is outside the camp area and does not belong to the land of the peacekeeping camp. It cannot prevent others from entering, so we can only watch it and rely on monitoring equipment. If there is any abnormality, go there and deal with it immediately.
Two days later, Li met such a child beside the barbed wire fence while patrolling.
He stood outside the net, looking a little timid, and looked into the camp.
It was morning, and it was already bright.
Ordinarily, there shouldn't be much of a threat at this time, but the sergeant in the surveillance team still sent the news to Li Zheng's earphone, asking him to pay attention.
Li Zheng and Fatty Wei walked quickly towards the location mentioned by the sergeant, and saw the child from a distance.
He is dark and thin, and looks about eight or nine years old - in fact, of course he is dark. Due to racial issues, people's skin color is always like this.
As for losing weight, of course I lost weight.
After coming here for so long, the only fat man Li Zheng saw was Hamfata, who was responsible for repairing doors and windows in the camp.
Li Zheng felt that this child looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
There are often people squatting under trees and looking around at the peacekeeping camp around the camp. Maybe it's one of them, that's what Li thought.
When the two sides were more than ten meters apart, Li Zheng suddenly remembered where he had seen this child.
It was the kid who turned around and ran away that night, the kid who took the risk of digging up used mortar shells and rocket launcher tail tubes.
"That child..." Li Zheng reminded Fatty Wei: "It was the one that night."
"Which one?" Fatty Wei was a little confused.
Li Zheng said: "Dig the tail pipe of the rocket launcher."
"That's him?" Fatty Wei suddenly became nervous. He immediately touched the safety of the rifle and said, "Did you read it wrong?"
Li Zheng said: "Don't be nervous. He is probably not from an armed organization. I told him that day. He may be here to pick up rags."
Fatty Wei said: "Anyway, you have a good mind. Good guys and bad guys don't have the words chiseled on their foreheads."
Li Zheng was quite curious about this child.
Although he thought that the other party took the risk to build a shabby house that night, he still wanted to confirm it himself.
He was worried that the children would run away when they saw them, so he kept walking very quietly and pretended to patrol past them casually, lest the other children think that he was going towards him and run away in panic.
What he didn't expect was that the child didn't run away when he saw them, but stood there, looking straight at them with a pair of eyes that were particularly big because of his thinness.
Fatty Wei whispered: "This kid is so courageous that he didn't run away."
Ordinarily, when an average child sees two heavily armed soldiers from a country other than his own country walking toward him, he will subconsciously retreat, and even if he doesn't want to run, he should be ready to run.
But this kid is an exception. He really doesn't run away.
When Li Zheng and the others came directly in front of them, the little black boy suddenly spoke and shouted to them in French.
Because the child's accent was very strong and not standard, although Li Zheng's French was pretty good, I really didn't understand what he said the first time.
The child seemed a little anxious and babbled in French again.
It's French, that's right!
Li Zheng was sure that he heard correctly.
But I just didn’t understand.
Suddenly, as the child was talking, his hand moved toward his pocket.
The seeds in Li Zheng's head suddenly exploded with a bang.
According to the training he had received, the action of the child in front of him touching his waist was extremely dangerous and would be regarded as a threatening action, most likely drawing a weapon or pulling a fuse.
Almost at the same time, Fatty Wei raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the little black boy. At the same time, his fat thumb had already pushed the safety.
Wow——
The gun was fired and bullets were lodged in it.
For some reason, although Li Zheng raised his gun, he immediately stopped Fatty Wei: "Wait!"
He saw no malice or murderous intent in the child's eyes.
The little black boy was startled. Almost instantly, he raised his hands and started shouting.
This time, Li Zheng understood.
He was saying: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"
This French sentence, this deft hand-raising movement, is so pure that it makes people feel heartbroken.
"Don't move, don't move!" Li Zheng signaled to the little black boy: "What on earth are you going to do?"
He tried to speak as slowly as possible so that the other party could understand.
This is the time when the nerves are most tense, like a house filled with evaporating gasoline, which can explode with the slightest spark.
Li Zheng didn't want any accident to happen and leave him with lifelong regrets.
He motioned to the little boy: "What's in your pocket?"
The little boy shouted: "Chewing gum! Chewing gum!"
This time, Li Zheng also understood.
At his signal, the little boy slowly reached into his trouser pocket, then took out something from it and held it in his hand.
Sure enough, it is a piece of chewing gum.
Still from Green Arrow...
Li Zheng and Fatty Wei suddenly burst into laughter.
The little black boy saw the two Chinese peacekeepers smiling and knew that the other side was not hostile, so he boldly walked to the edge of the barbed wire fence and continued to hold out the chewing gum in his hand.
