106: Everyone else is roasting sweet potatoes, you're roasting hand grenades!?
A soldier rushed into Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's office.
He was covered in dust.
From head to toe, only his teeth were still white.
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng scanned him: "Is this My Soldier?"
"I'd have thought he was an uncle who just finished working in the fields!"
"What's wrong?"
"Why are you so flustered?"
"What kind of behavior is that?"
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng sat up.
He carefully put away the imperial seal of china.
He reprimanded him: "A man standing between heaven and earth..."
"Must learn to be calm and possess the spirit of fearlessness even in great chaos!"
"First, compose yourself, then tell me what happened..."
The soldier took a deep breath.
To be honest.
He truly admired Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng from the bottom of his heart.
His orders must be obeyed.
After some adjustment.
The soldier patted the dust off his body and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, it's like this..."
"Comrade Su Yun he..."
"Wait!"
Before the soldier could finish.
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's body tensed up at the two words "Su Yun."
It was an almost subconscious, instinctive reaction.
He exclaimed: "You said... it's related to Su Yun!?"
The soldier nodded silently, seeing Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's terrified expression.
Instantly, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's face changed drastically.
The man who had previously maintained a shred of composure, as steady as a mountain... began to panic.
Related to Brother Su Yun?
It's My Brother Su Yun again!?
How could it be... how?
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng looked at the imperial seal of china on the table, it shouldn't be... could he be overthinking it?
Looking at the soldier, dusty and covered in flying dirt... Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng had a very ominous premonition.
He didn't ask the soldier.
Instead, he asked Wang Fan: "Fatty."
"You said... before you came, Su Yun took Chang Wei to hunt for wild game, right?"
Wang Fan nodded: "Yes."
"I saw Brother Su's direction, he should have gone towards the Cookhouse Squad."
"There's a vegetable patch there, he might have wanted to get some vegetables to eat!"
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's mind raced.
Towards the Cookhouse Squad, huh?
Eating vegetables or not didn't matter.
Even if he messed with the Cookhouse Squad, it was fine, just please don't let it be another nuclear bomb or something... Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng braced himself.
He took a deep breath: "Over at the Cookhouse Squad, it's all vegetables and such."
"Brother Su Yun taking Chang Wei, he shouldn't cause any major trouble, right?"
He said this with a question, looking at the soldier.
The soldier was utterly bewildered.
He gave a wry smile; how much he wanted to say the words "nothing happened."
But... thinking of that earth-shattering scene.
Could it have even the slightest connection to "nothing happened"?
The soldier scratched his head.
He asked: "Lieutenant Colonel, are you ready?"
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng: "Mm... go on!"
He would have to face it sooner or later, and he trusted the Cookhouse Squad.
The soldier said directly: "It's like this."
"Comrade Su Yun took that Liger to the sweet potato field cultivated by the Cookhouse Squad to dig for sweet potatoes."
"The Cookhouse Squad Leader discovered him, and Comrade Su Yun dug up a few more..."
"He said he wanted to show off his cooking skills."
"For convenience, he set up multiple roasting methods."
"Some were roasted on a rack, some were buried in the soil to roast..."
"The roasted sweet potatoes smelled delicious, and the Cookhouse Squad Leader praised Comrade Su Yun's roasting method..."
"Get to the point!"
Seeing the soldier starting to ramble on and on, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng was speechless.
The soldier paused.
He said solemnly: "Reporting, Lieutenant Colonel!"
"Comrade Su Yun was digging for sweet potatoes!"
"He accidentally dug up a hand grenade!"
"He mistook the hand grenade for a sweet potato!"
"And threw it into the bonfire!"
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng: ???
Wang Fan: !!!
He dug up a hand grenade while digging for sweet potatoes, and then... threw it into the bonfire!?
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng was trembling all over.
Oh my goodness... he had been in the army for so many years, and this was the first time he encountered someone who dared to throw a hand grenade into a bonfire!
He really dared to throw it?
He really didn't treat a hand grenade like a hand grenade?
That thing... even if you're roasting sweet potatoes, wouldn't you at least brush off the mud?
Wang Fan chuckled dryly: "My Brother, he... sometimes he really is reckless..."
Outwardly calm, but inwardly relieved: Thank goodness, thank goodness I wasn't there!
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's expression was grave.
A hand grenade exploding in a bonfire was still acceptable.
He immediately said: "If the hand grenade exploded, then it exploded."
"It must have been accidentally left in the sweet potato field back then..."
"Send a demining squad to the sweet potato field to inspect the entire vegetable garden..."
"Also, arrange for medics to treat the injured well!"
Hearing this, the soldier added: "Lieutenant Colonel, no one was injured."
"Because when the hand grenade was thrown into the bonfire, everyone was not nearby."
"No one injured!?"
Then it was just a false alarm?
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's lips curled upwards, and he smiled: "Isn't it good that no one was injured?"
"It was just one hand grenade, I thought it was a much bigger deal!"
"You can go, you can go!"
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng waved his hand, his mood gradually relaxing... However.
The soldier didn't move, still standing in place.
His face was bitter: "Lieutenant Colonel, I haven't finished yet..."
"The hand grenade didn't injure anyone, though."
"It's just that..."
"When the hand grenade exploded, it blew a deep pit in the sweet potato field."
"And then... the small hill next to our Military Region's vegetable garden collapsed..."
"Our... our Military Region's vegetable garden is gone..."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng: ???
Wang Fan: !!!
The vegetable garden is gone!?
Such a big vegetable garden, blown away by one hand grenade?
Wang Fan shrank his neck, wanting to escape... while Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's smile froze, and he asked again: "How did the small hill collapse?"
"That... we don't know either!"
"It seems, it seems like there was a landslide!"
The soldier shook his head.
His face full of embarrassment: "Lieutenant Colonel."
"Why don't you go and take a look quickly!"
"The small hill collapsed, not only burying the vegetable garden but also burying the Cookhouse Squad's cooking area."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng: ... Without time to think, he hurriedly asked: "Are there any casualties?"
The soldier recalled: "Not yet, I think..."
"However, there should be soon..."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng flared up: "What do you mean 'should be soon'?"
"Is there or isn't there!?"
"If there is, say there is; if there isn't, say there isn't!"
"Tell me the truth!"
Come on, bring it all on... it's not the first or second time anyway.
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng completely gave up.
At this moment, he was roaring internally: If you've got the guts, make it even bigger!
It's just the Military Region's vegetable garden, it's just the Cookhouse Squad being gone... Destroy! Keep destroying! If you're bold enough, shock the whole country!
The soldier, seeing Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's gradually twisted face.
He steeled himself.
And said again: "Lieutenant Colonel."
"Actually... I'm not sure either..."
"When I first ran over to report, everyone was still very calm."
"But... when the Cookhouse Squad Leader crawled out of the pile of dirt..."
"He pointed at Comrade Su Yun's nose and declared that he wanted to fight him one-on-one!"
"He even said he wanted to sign a life-and-death pact!"
"Saying that the two of them... would decide their fate and their lives today!"
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng: ???
Wang Fan couldn't listen anymore: "Big Brother Zheng, why don't... why don't we go and take a look?"
Whether the Cookhouse Squad Leader was being restrained, we don't know.
Anyway, Wang Fan knew how capable Brother Su was.
He picked up corpses, ate everything with relish... caused a big commotion in the Wild River with cannons, not afraid of death, just for a bite to eat...
