Chapter 420 - 419
"Ah, ah, Comrade Ye Tian, I apologize, I apologize, are you alright?"
Seeing the instructor’s concerned expression, Ye Tian wasn’t annoyed but couldn’t help blaming himself internally for not using one of his many identities and instead introducing himself as a reporter from the regiment headquarters. Field troops generally detest reporters, and that’s putting it mildly, mainly because they fear a reporter’s pen might write both what should and shouldn’t be said.
Ye Tian rubbed his hands together and stomped his feet a few times. "No worries, if a grown man like me can’t handle this bit of hardship, that’d be a disgrace to our military dad. It’s all good, let’s go."
Hearing this, the instructor nodded, patting Ye Tian’s shoulder with a big, gloved hand, and exhaling white breath. "Good lad, I’ll take you to meet the company commander in a bit. You go and rest for now. Signal soldier!"
With a roar, gone was the gentleness from before, this is the dual nature of both scholar and warrior.
A soldier bundled up like a bear jogged over, saluting and exhaling white breath as he spoke. "Instructor!"
The instructor gave the soldier a few instructions, along the lines of taking good care of him, telling the cooking team to add two more dishes for lunch and such. Anyway, Ye Tian wasn’t in the mood to listen; he was truly frightened by the cold temperature here, only thinking of quickly finding a warm place to get warmed up.
In the end, the soldier led Ye Tian to a place he didn’t take a close look at; as soon as he was inside the room, Ye Tian dived into the bed, and after drinking a jar of hot water brought over by the signalman, he fell into a deep sleep.
