Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

1. The son in the barracks After returning from Qidaoling, Gao Dashan really asked Hu Dawei to practice alone for five kilometers, which made him sweat profusely, with soldiers standing beside him watching the excitement.Hu Dawei couldn't take it anymore, he felt so wronged after a training session, and ran to Shang Shouzhi to complain, saying that he was not the secretary.Shang Shouzhi said: "Being the secretary of Commander Gao, you proposed it on your own initiative." Hu Dawei said: "Now I regret it. I thought that working with the chief can make progress faster. After so many years, I did not I got a job in the battalion, and most of the people who were promoted in the same year as me are now deputy regiments. Besides, people say something about me, saying that I am the newspaper reader of the High Commander, and I can't get involved in other jobs. "Shang Shouzhi said: "This is the consistent work style of Commander Gao.

. The more Hu Dawei said, the more wronged he became: "My secretary is not as good as a security guard or a driver. Look at the drivers and security guards who work next to the chief. Haven't all of them been promoted?" Shang Shouzhi said: "It seems that you really don't want to work with Gao Siling anymore?" Hu Dawei said: "Chief of Staff, I thought about it for a long time before I made up my mind to talk to you."Commander-in-Chief drilled me alone this morning, so many people watched, and I have been a veteran for more than ten years, so where should I put my face? Shang Shouzhi said: "Since you are determined to leave, then I will go talk to Commander Gao." "

Hu Dawei said: "Chief of Staff, can you be more tactful when you say it." Shang Shouzhi said: "How can you be tactful, saying that you don't want to leave Commander Gao and want to work with him for a long time?" Hu Dawei said: "I didn't mean that .” Shang Shouzhi said: “This is the end.” Shang Shouzhi reported the situation to Gao Dashan, and Gao Dashan became more and more unhappy, saying: "Just because his thoughts are so crooked and his motives are so impure, I don't agree. Look at how he has been in the office for the past few years. I can't climb a mountain, let alone let him run five kilometers, even if he runs two kilometers, he has to get down. How can such a cadre be placed in the army below? Can he lead the army? You tell him when the secretary will be ready, like I will let him go if he is a qualified cadre in an agency. Now these young cadres have learned how to ask for officials and enjoy themselves, which is really shameful."

Shang Shouzhi said: "Okay, I will talk to him and criticize him." Gao Quan was finally sent to serve as a soldier by his father, and Wu Liang personally sent Gao Quan to the Dafeng Whistle Post, where he was placed in Wang Tieshan's platoon.Before leaving, he confessed to Wang Tieshan: "Commander Gao personally told me to send him to you. You must train him well! If the training is not good, I will punish you!" Wang Tieshan said calmly: "Understood!" Gao Quan looked at everything in front of him with hatred.Wu Liang said to Gao Quan while getting into the car: "Being a soldier is no better than being at home. You have to listen to the platoon leader and squad leader, observe discipline, and become a qualified frontier soldier as soon as possible. Don't let your father down! Okay, let's go!"

When Wu Liang's car drove away, Wang Tieshan turned around and said, "Squad leader, come and help Comrade Gao Quan carry the quilt...You, come with me!" Wang Tieshan pointed to a bunk and said to Gao Quan: "You sleep here!" He said to the squad leader who was following behind: "Squad leader, Comrade Gao Quan is in your class!" The class leader said: "Yes!" Wang Tieshan said: "From now on, let him learn to tidy up the housework first. Comrade Gao Quan, make your own bed!" Gao Quan said, "I won't!" Wang Tieshan glanced at him and said: "Squad leader, give him a demonstration, and let him do it again!"

The squad leader responded by opening Gao Quan's quilt, explaining as he made it: "First lay out the quilt, and then spread the bed sheet. The quilt must be flat, so that the bed sheet will be flat; In the middle, the quilt can be propped up during the day, and it can also be used as a pillow at night..." Gao Quan couldn't be interested at all, and turned his gaze out of the window.Wang Tieshan said sternly: "Comrade Gao Quan, pay attention to the squad leader's demonstration!" The day Gao Quan came happened to meet the troops for a dinner, and the soldiers lined up in front of the cafeteria and sang "Three Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention".Wang Tieshan looked at the soldiers with satisfaction, and said: "Hey, I know that today's dinner party and singing are different, so let's go in one group."

There was a pot of stewed pork vermicelli and a pot of rice on the table. The squad leader served everyone the dishes. The other soldiers didn't fill the first bowl, so they ate it. Gao Quan viciously filled a bowl.Soon, the other soldiers were filling the second bowl. Gao Quan hadn't finished the first bowl. When he finished the first bowl and was about to fill the second bowl, he found that the bowl was empty. The squad leader asked, "Why, you haven't eaten enough?" Gao Quan looked at the others, feeling dissatisfied, but did not speak.The first squad leader handed over the bowl, and wanted to give Gao Quan the rice in the bowl. Gao Quan put down the bowl and said, "I'm full." After speaking, he walked out alone, and the other soldiers winked at Gao Quan's back.

Gao Quan returned to the dormitory, lying on the bed and flipping through a newspaper, the squad leader walked in, took out a few biscuits from his pocket, and handed them to Gao Quan. Gao Quan said, "I don't want it." The class leader put the biscuits on the table and said: "I know you are not full. Remember from now on, meals are served in rations. Don't fill the first bowl too much. After finishing the first bowl, fill the second bowl. That's the way to go. Who is like you, the first bowl holds so much, can you add a second bowl?" Gao Quan put down the newspaper and said, "Who knew there would be so many talks over a meal."

The first squad leader said: "Being a soldier has a lot of knowledge, and you will learn it slowly in the future. When you learn it, you will become a real soldier." He handed the biscuit to Gao Quan again, and Gao Quan reluctantly took it . The first squad leader said: "That's right." Wang Tieshan walked in and asked the first squad leader to teach Gao Quan to tidy up the housework. The first squad leader demonstrated it again and said, "Comrade Gao Quan, I've already done it for you. Now you open it. Do what I just did!" Gao Quan sat down, fell on the quilt, closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, I want to rest!"

The squad leader took a look at Wang Tieshan. Wang Tieshan said loudly: "Comrade Gao Quan, get up for me! Clean up the housework!" Gao Quan glanced at him and couldn't get up.The first squad leader said: "Platoon leader, Comrade Gao Quan just came here today, and he is tired. I will teach him tomorrow!" Wang Tieshan thought for a while, held back his anger and said, "No! Comrade Gao Quan, you come to serve as a soldier like this!" No way! Don’t say Commander Gao won’t allow it, I won’t allow it first! Get up!” Gao Quan just closed his eyes. Wang Tieshan said: "Now I understand why your father sent you to be a soldier! I can't let you lie down like this for a day in Dafengkoukou! Since you have become a border guard, you have to be like a border guard from the first day. Look! You stand up for me, housekeeping!"

Gao Quan opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, tore apart the folded quilt and said, "Isn't it just folding the quilt? Who can't!" The first squad leader said: "Comrade Gao Quan, you can't talk to the platoon leader like this!" Wang Tieshan glanced at him angrily, and said to the squad leader: "Look at him, let him stack well!" Sending Gao Quan away, Gao Dashan and Qiuying felt uneasy.In the evening, Gao Dashan walked around the house, Qiuying sat down at the dining table with a bowl of rice, and said to Gao Dashan deliberately: "I don't know if Gao Quan has eaten today, whether he can even eat get used to..." Gao Dashan suddenly got angry and said: "I said, what's the matter with you? You can't stop nagging! There are so many children in the army who can't go hungry, so why are you starving yours? Their children are sent to There is no gold in the army, but your children are precious?" Qiuying didn't seem to hear, she stared in one direction and said to herself: "My child is a soldier, and my father will send him to the big city. My child, before he grows up, you send him to the most miserable place on the border." place to send..." Gao Dashan wanted to get angry, glanced at his wife, held back again, snorted and walked over to make a call, thought for a while, then put down the receiver angrily, and walked outside.Qiuying was still muttering in a daze: "I don't know if it's cold to sleep at night..." At this time the phone rang, Gao Dashan turned around to answer it, Qiuying rushed over first, Gao Dashan looked at her seriously, and she hesitated to give the phone to Gao Dashan. It was Wu Liang who called and reported the situation to Gao Dashan: "...Commander, I delivered it in person and handed him over to Wang Tieshan. How dare I be careless about the task assigned to me by the commander? It's okay, you and sister-in-law Don't worry...I'll go and have a look after a while...I'll report to you if there's any situation..." Gao Dashan said: "Well... well... well, that's it, I'm hanging up!" Just as she was about to hang up, Qiuying grabbed the microphone and said, "Wu Zi, Captain Wu, don't hang up first! You are good!" Tell me, how is he doing there, can he get used to the food on the mountain..." Gao Dashan walked out angrily, stopped after a few steps, and heard Qiuying call: "Is it cold in that place... I want to give him another set of bedding, don't you need it? Don't raise Dashan with me... My son will Like it's not his own..." As he spoke, he began to cry again.Gao Dashan snorted and walked out quickly. 2. Devil training Gao Quan tasted what it was like to be a soldier on his first day at Dafeng Whistle Post.At night, it was his turn to serve as sentry and he couldn't get up for a long time. In the morning, when the bugle sounded, the soldiers quickly got up and ran out for exercises. He was still lying on the bed.Wang Tieshan tore off Gao Quan's quilt and said sharply, "Gao Quan, get up immediately and fuck!" On the small playground, the soldiers are training in formation, and the first squad leader trains high power alone.That Gao Quan couldn't practice well, and his whole body seemed to have no strength.Wang Tieshan got angry when he came over, and he suddenly ordered: "Squad leader, join the ranks! Gao Quan, listen! Password! "stand at attention!" Gao Quan still stood lazily. Wang Tieshan yelled loudly: "Stand up straight! Keep your chest straight! Tighten your belly! Look ahead! Use your legs! Don't move!" He walked behind Gao Quan, and suddenly kicked Gao Quan's leg, and Gao Quan threw himself He fell to the ground with a bang, turned his head and said in a crying voice, "What are you doing, you hit someone?!" Wang Tieshan ordered loudly: "Get up! Do the action again!" Gao Quan suddenly stopped crying and got up. Wang Tieshan said: "Squad leader, come here! Gao Quan, watch!" The squad leader ran up to Wang Tieshan. Wang Tieshan shouted: "Stand at attention!" The first squad leader stood at attention.Wang Tieshan walked behind him and kicked him hard in the leg, and the squad leader remained motionless. Wang Tieshan said loudly to Gao Quan: "Did you see that? You are now a soldier, and you can't even stand up well, so why fight! Squad leader, keep practicing!" The soldiers had already gone to practice, washed their faces and brushed their teeth. The first squad leader and Gao Quan were still practicing individually. "I don't practice anymore! You send me home! I can't bear it!..." Wang Tieshan came over, looked at him, then looked at the class leader and said, "Okay, come here, let's finish the exercises!" In the afternoon, Wang Tieshan led Gao Quan to practice the wooden horse alone. Gao Quan slammed into the horse several times. Wang Tieshan reprimanded him: "You come from a military family, so stupid! You don't look like Gao Dashan's son! Jump again!" Gao Quan said loudly: "I am me, he is him! Don't mention him to me!" He ran up again, jumped, this time he jumped over, and fell heavily into the bunker. The soldiers onlookers laughed and applauded. After training like this for a day, he lay down at night with pain all over his body, so Gao Quan couldn't sleep, so he turned on the flashlight and wrote a letter to Xiaofei lying on the kang.The class leader got up to urinate, stretched his head and said, "Write a letter to my family?" Gao Quan said angrily, "I don't have a home! Ever since they sent me to this damn place, I have no home!" The squad leader laughed and said, "You're not right. When the time comes, home will still be home, father will still be father, and mother will still be mother!" Gao Quan snorted and continued writing. The next day, the company's communications team came to deliver the letter. Gao Quan watched others take away his letter and waited nervously, but he was unwilling to squeeze over to ask.After sending the letter, Gao Quan saw that the communication soldier had walked outside the door, so he rushed over and shouted, "Hey!" The communications soldier looked him up and down and said, "What are you! Call someone by name! My name is Zhao Liang! Oh, yes, I remembered, you are a high authority!" Gao Quan looked around and said in a low voice, "Yes. I am Gao Quan. Do you have a letter from me?" The signalman said, "No." Gao Quan said: "The letter I asked you to bring last time, did you send it for me?" The messenger said: "It's sent! How can I steal your letter?" High power is out of words. During the first patrol, Gao Quan found it very novel. He walked in the team and looked across the border from time to time. Within sight, he could see the other side's grasslands, forests, rivers and a tall watchtower. The leader of the first class said: "Hey, let's sing a song, it's boring to walk like this! ... If you say hit, hit-sing!" The whole class sang a song.Gao Quan unknowingly began to sing along.After patrolling in front of a boundary marker, the squad leader stopped and turned back to give the order: "Rest! Gao Quan, come here!" Gao Quan was about to sit down when he heard himself being called, and walked over lazily. The squad leader said: "Comrade Gao Quan, this is the famous boundary marker No. 1045 at Dafengkou. No matter which country it is, every inch of its territory is sacred and inviolable. We people guard here every day to protect this A boundary marker, if we keep the boundary marker, we also keep our country from being invaded! Similarly, for the soldiers on the other side of the boundary marker, this boundary marker and the land on the opposite side are also inviolable, so we must not cross this boundary marker easily. A boundary marker. We often say that we are defending and defending peace, but if you cross this boundary marker and cause a border conflict, you are destroying peace, not defending peace! Once this happens, you and the other party will cross the border into our country Not only will I be tried by a military court, but it will also cause serious border conflicts." Gao Quan still had a nonchalant expression at first, but was gradually attracted by the monitor's words.The first squad leader continued: "There is one more thing that the platoon leader asked me to tell you. The reason why we call it a big wind is that there are strong winds all year round, and in winter, there are big smoke bubbles. Sometimes the strong wind can blow a person away. Go to the boundary marker. More than ten years ago, someone was blown over the boundary marker by strong winds, which caused a border incident. Even our old regiment commander, today's high commander in the garrison area, was also implicated. Since then, Every newcomer is led here by a veteran to be taught a lesson!" Gao Quan listened, his expression becoming more and more focused. The first class leader said: "Okay, I have finished." He greeted everyone and said: "Stand up, go forward!" The whole class continued to walk along the patrol route, Gao Quan subconsciously looked back at the boundary markers again. The following trainings became more and more difficult. When shooting live ammunition, Gao Quan lay down on the shooting position to aim. Wang Tieshan came over and asked, "How is it, are you confident?" Gao Quan said in a vicious voice, "No!" He said angrily: "I'm not sure to stand up! The first squad leader, take him to continue to practice aiming!" Under the scorching sun, Gao Quan practiced kneeling to aim, sweating profusely. Two bricks were already hung on the gun, and the first squad leader hung another brick.Gao Quan gritted his teeth and persisted, and gradually couldn't hold on anymore. The squad leader encouraged him and said, "Hold on! Don't shake! Hold on!" Gao Quan held on with difficulty, and the squad leader said happily, "Okay! Keep going!" Sweat and tears flowed down Gao Quan's face like a stream. This practiced for a few days, and the whole platoon conducted night shooting.The squad leader led the whole squad into the shooting position and lay down. Wang Tieshan walked up to Gao Quan and asked, "How is Gao Quan? Are you confident?" Gao Quan said viciously, "Yes!" Wang Tieshan said: "Squad 1, prepare for shooting, start!" The gunshots were deafening. Aim with high power and shoot out the bullets one after another. After the shooting, the target announcer reported the results: "No. 1 hits 4 out of 5 shots! Good! No. 2 hits 3 out of 5 rounds, pass! No. 3 hits 5 rounds in 5 rounds, excellent!..." Wang Tieshan asked: "Who is the No. 3 target?" The squad leader said: "High power!" Wang Tieshan came over to look at Gao Quan in disbelief, Gao Quan proudly puffed out his chest, and dismissed him.Wang Tieshan walked up to the first squad leader and said, "First squad leader, why did you pass the test? You didn't take advantage of the darkness to see, so you can help Gao Quan?" The first squad leader raised his chest and said, "Report to the platoon leader, no!" Gao Quan was startled, and looked angrily at the squad leader, but the squad leader seemed like nothing happened. It was a heavy rainy day and in the mountains and forests when they were fully armed and marching for training. The team set off early in the morning. Gao Quan gradually lost his strength and gasped for breath.When Wang Tieshan looked back, he sternly told Gao Quan to follow. Gao Quan gritted his teeth angrily, and limped along. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Gao Quan followed the team with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and finally slipped and fell in the muddy water.Wang Tieshan turned his head, frowned and said, "Gao Quan, get up!" The squad leader turned around and pulled him, but Gao Quan couldn't get up, and lay down in the muddy water and cried loudly.Wang Tieshan said disgustedly: "Squad leader, stand up and follow!" The first squad leader and another soldier set up Gao Quan, who was crying profusely, and ran. The rain gradually subsided, and Gao Quan stopped crying and walked in the team step by step.The saddest thing was to find some training at night. From time to time, there was a strange bird call in the forest. Gao Quan walked through the forest alone with a compass in his hand, looking around in panic from time to time.A bird chirped next to him, making him tremble all over and lying on the ground.Hearing that there was no movement, he got up again and turned on the pen and small flashlight to read the note: "Subject: Find something. Bearing 320, distance 500 meters, there is a grave..." He shuddered.Desperately said: "There is a tomb bag!" It was a narrow valley with dense forests, and Gao Quan nervously walked forward step by step. Here he saw a new tomb with a white spirit-calling banner on it. screamed, turned around and ran, stumbled and fell to the ground.He got up, let himself slowly regain his composure, and walked over boldly, muttering in his mouth to strengthen himself: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." He found a stone on the grave, found a note under the stone, cried and laughed and said: "I found it! I found it!" He opened the note, illuminated it with a small flashlight, and read: "Keep looking for more. Based on this tomb, at a position of 180 meters and a distance of 1,000 meters, there is a tomb..." He walked forward nervously and said: "Another tomb, another tomb..." Finally found the next grave, he walked over slowly, took a note from the top of the grave, turned on the small flashlight, and read: "Using this as the reference point, bearing 235, distance 700, there is a grave... "Can't help shouting in despair: "Why is it still a grave bag!" Sitting on the ground and crying bitterly, shouting: "What the hell are you trying to do? Why are you doing this to me! Just shoot me and forget it!  … ..." Unexpectedly, Wang Tieshan and the squad leader came out of the nearby woods.Wang Tieshan said: "Gao Quan, stand up, what are you shouting here?" Gao Quan couldn't control himself anymore, and shouted desperately: "I quit! I am not a soldier anymore! I know you are the company commander! , my dad dismissed you from your post, you hate me, and deliberately punished me! You punish me, use all your means, I don’t want to live anyway!" Wang Tieshan said unmoved: "Comrade Gao Quan, stand up and continue to find points! If you can't find the next point, you can't go back to the post!" He said to the first squad leader: "Let's go!" They disappeared into the mountains and forests. Gao Quan stopped crying. He stood up and shouted in fear: "Squad leader, platoon leader, don't leave me here alone, I beg you..." No one answered him.He lowered his head, opened the small flashlight tremblingly to read the note, and read: "Bearing 235, distance 700, there is a grave..." He continued to look for it in the direction indicated by the compass. 3. "Why is there no letter from me?" These days, Wu Liang often calls Gao Dashan to report the situation of Gao Quan.Qiuying didn't know the details, so she rubbed Gao Dashan and said, "My eyelids have been twitching for the past two days, Lao Gao, can I call the child at the outpost?" When Gao Dashan heard this, he got angry and said: "No!" Qiuying said decisively: "I won't listen to you this time! I want to see him and you won't let me go or make a phone call! I think His heart hurts so much, I'm going to hit him!" Gao Dashan stretched out his hand to protect the phone, and said angrily: "I'll tell you again, if I say you can't make a call, then you can't make a call!" Qiuying was frightened by his intense emotions for a moment.Gao Dashan said angrily: "Your child is a child, but other people's children are not children? You can call him if you have a phone at home, but what if someone else's home doesn't have a phone? Do their parents miss them?" Qiuying said: "I don't care about other people's children, I just miss my children!" Gao Dashan said: "What do you want him to do? He is going to serve in the army! You look like this all day because you don't trust the army. There is something wrong with your brain!" He unplugged the phone line and went upstairs with the phone in his arms. Qiuying shouted downstairs: "Take it away! I won't cook for you today, I'm starving you!" The noise downstairs reached Gao Ling's ears upstairs, and he seemed to be used to it, so he took out his flute and whined, and no one knew how lonely he was. In the evening, Qiuying still prepared a meal.After Gaoling finished eating, he put down the bowl and went upstairs.He doesn't want to see his parents quarrel. Gao Dashan stared at Gao Ling's back and asked, "Gao Ling, are you full?" Gao Ling said, "I'm full." Gao Dashan said: "Eating this little is not as good as a woman eating a lot. Let me tell you, you are a man, and you will not be able to eat this little food in the future." Gao Ling didn't want to talk to him, and walked upstairs with a low eyebrow. Qiuying couldn't see it, and said: "You don't care if the child eats more or less. He has been eating less since he was a child. It's not that you haven't seen it. Gao Quan is a thorn in your side. You sent him away, and now you are watching him again." Kaolin is gone, he's not pleasing to the eye, isn't it?" Gao Dashan looked upstairs, where Gao Ling was playing the flute.Gao Dashan said: "Listen, a man who is sentimental all day long is not as good as a good girl. I, Gao Dashan, raised such an unworthy thing. I am annoyed, I am annoyed." Qiuying said: "You are annoying, you are annoying, these children are not as annoying as you are, after annoying the high power, and then annoying Gao Ling, whoever you are proud of, you are proud of Da Kui." Gao Dashan said: "What's wrong with Da Kui? We are on the same path." Standing up, he said to himself with his hands behind his back, "Da Kui should be here." While walking upstairs full of thoughts, he came to scold Gao Ling. Voice: "Stop blowing, you are howling." Qiuying was shocked when she heard the words, put down the half-cleared bowls, and ran upstairs. Gao Quan never waited for Xiaofei's letter.When I can't sleep at night, I can only take out Xiaofei's photo to look at.He began to taste the pain of missing. The company's communications team came again, and as soon as they arrived at the outpost, they shouted: "A letter! A letter! Zhang Cheng, yours! Li Nan, yours! First squad leader, your wife has another letter!" Seeing Gao Quan standing far away , He took the initiative to say hello and said: "Gao Quan, I'm sorry, I still haven't heard from you!" After sending the letter, the messenger hummed a little tune and walked down the mountain, when Gao Quan suddenly stepped out, startling him.Gao Quan grabbed him and said loudly: "Why is there no letter from me? Why is there no letter from me? Tell me the truth, is there someone who stopped my letter from being sent? Is it my father or Who else won't let you drop my letter in the post office?!" The communications soldier shook him away vigorously, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, you! When did I not put your letter in the post office? What are you thinking, you!" Gao Quan said desperately: "Then why can't I always receive her letter! Why can everyone else receive it, but I can't receive it!" The communications soldier walked around him and said, "Then who knows! Maybe they don't want to reply to your letter!" Gao Quan watched the messenger walk away, and shouted excitedly: "No! Impossible! I will go to the post office at the foot of the mountain to ask, and I don't believe that she will not reply to my letter!" If Wu Liang hadn't called the outpost to learn about Gao Quan's situation, Wang Tieshan would not have known about Gao Quan's departure for a while.Head Wu said that he wanted to say a few words to Gao Quan, and Wang Tieshan came to the barracks to call Gao Quan.As soon as Wang Tieshan entered the door, he asked, "Where is Gao Quan?" The squad leader was reading the letter, slapped his thigh and said: "Hey, my wife! My wife said..." All the soldiers surrounded him happily: "What did your wife say?" Upon hearing Wang Tieshan's question, the squad leader said, "Just now when the guards came to deliver the letter, I saw him. What's the matter?" Wang Tieshan said: "The head of the regiment wants to talk to him, so hurry up and find him!" The squad leader greeted the people and said, "Hurry up, all go to Gao Quan!" Everyone ran out to look for it, and searched everywhere, but there was no sign of Gao Quan.Wang Tieshan felt that the matter was getting serious, and said with a serious face: "Then go find it!" Wu Liang was also anxious when he received the report, and said, "This kid ran away? Has he never received a letter from his girlfriend? Why hasn't this situation attracted your attention? Hurry up and look for it! All the companies are looking for it! There are many soldiers. Road, all the way to the post office at the foot of the mountain, and the other roads into the woods, be careful to organize well, don’t fall behind! Yes, you take a group of people to the border by yourself, to prevent him from getting lost and groping to other people’s side in a daze If you go, something big will happen!" Wang Tieshan immediately arranged according to the instructions of the regiment leader, and asked the first squad leader to gather people and prepare to search along the patrol line, and told the watch post to observe carefully and report immediately if someone crossed the border.Over there, Wu Liang ordered to report the situation to all the border posts immediately, strengthen the vigilance, and prevent anyone from crossing the border, and then drove to the Dafeng whistle post in a jeep.While looking at the border defense map, he asked Wang Tieshan, "How long has he been missing?" Wang Tieshan looked at his watch and said, "Three hours and ten minutes." Wu Liang roughly measured the distance along the path on the map with his hand, and said with certainty: "Well, he didn't go very far, he's within this range!" The battalion commander said: "Regiment commander, do you want to report to Commander Gao?" Wu Liang said: "No. It's not too late to report after you find it. Wang Tieshan, take someone with me along the patrol line and bring it to the radio station!" Wang Tieshan said: "Yes!" He turned to greet the squad leader and said: "Let's go!" Wu Liang and his party patrolled along the border, and when they arrived at the top of Dafengkou Boundary Monument, Wang Tieshan spotted Gao Quan from afar, and said, "Head, look, Gao Quan!" Wu Liang said, "Let's go!" It turned out that Gao Quan followed the communication soldiers down the mountain. He watched the communication soldiers disappear in the depths of the forest in front of him, so he followed the path, but turned in the wrong direction at a fork in the road, and couldn't find the way for a while.As he walked, he became more and more afraid, and finally he couldn't bear it any longer, and fell to the ground and began to cry.Crying and crying, he took out Xiaofei's photo to look at again, and seemed to have the courage again, stood up, and continued to walk forward. After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, he finally came to the top of the mountain of Dafengkou Boundary Monument.When he saw the boundary marker, he was pleasantly surprised and shouted: "I saw the boundary marker! I found the way! I saw the boundary marker! I found the way!" At the foot of the mountain was a small road, which was their patrol line, along the boundary marker Winding and stretching, Gao Quan frantically ran down the hill and onto the patrol line.He enthusiastically kissed the photo of Xiao Fei in his hand, thanking it for blessing him out of the dense forest, when a gust of wind blew, Xiao Fei's photo was blown away, Gao Quan was shocked, ran to chase, the photo was blown away by the wind Boundary monument, he yelled and rushed forward recklessly, but was grabbed by Wang Tieshan who was rushing forward.Gao Quan still struggled and said, "Let go of me! Let me go! The photo..." Wang Tieshan reminded loudly: "Gao Quan, if you take another step forward, you will cross the border!" Gao Quan struggled desperately and said, "Leave me alone!" Wu Liang also ran over, slapped him twice in anger, and knocked Gao Quan to the ground.Gao Quan got up, lost his mind and rushed to Wu Liang, saying: "You...you are the head of the regiment, and you still beat people!" Wu Liang grabbed his arm and said loudly: "It's still light for me to hit you. If you take another step forward, I'll shoot you to death!" Turning around, he ordered: "Shut him in confinement." 4. High power as a deserter Gao Quan lay on the kang in the confinement room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged.He ignored Wu Liang and a soldier who came in to bring him food, and turned to the other side with a snort.Wu Liang said angrily: "Gao Quan, get up!" Gao Quan didn't move, Wu Liang dragged him off the kang, Gao Quan resisted and said, "You...what are you doing!" Wu Liang said, "You stand up for me!" Gao Quan stood up straight involuntarily, and Wu Liang scolded loudly: "Look at you, you don't look like Gao Dashan's son at all! You're embarrassing the Dafeng Whistle Post, our third frontier defense regiment, and your father!" " When Gao Quan heard his father was mentioned, he suddenly said loudly: "I don't have a father, Gao Dashan is not my father!" Wu Liang laughed and said, "Good boy, you dare not even recognize your father! Let me tell you, based on this alone, you are not the son of Gao Dashan! You think you are in the limelight, and the things you do are my fault." I don’t know? I know everything! You stay out of exercises in the morning, sleep at night while standing guard, pick and choose when you eat, and throw them into the ravine if you don’t eat the big white steamed buns! You still think that the soldiers who enlisted in the countryside have stinky feet, sleep and beat Snooze!" Gao Quan said, "They just snore!" Wu Liang said: "What about your platoon leader? Your platoon leader trains you strictly, and you say that he is avenging his private revenge! Today you are even more amazing. You dared to desert for a letter from your girlfriend! You almost crossed the border , if that's the case, no one can save you!" Gao Quan said: "He, Wang Tieshan, is avenging his own private revenge! He is training me strictly? He is a fascist, and he uses different methods to punish people! This is not an army, this is Zhazidong, Bai Mansion!" Wu Liang said: "It seems that it is right to confine you to confinement. You made a mistake, and instead of looking for reasons from yourself, you still complain about this and that. I want you to understand that this is the army." Gao Quan said, "You put me in confinement. I don't want to be a soldier anymore. I want to go home." Wu Liang said: "Go home? You think the army can come and leave whenever they want, and tell you, if I don't educate you to be a real soldier, I will feel sorry for my old chief—your father." After Wu Liang left, Gao Quan lay on the bed angrily.Tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep, I found Xiaofei’s previous letter, and the words in the letter made him restless: “I don’t understand what it means for you to be a soldier. It’s nice to be at home, watching movies, walking on the road, and you will be your soldier.” Well, don't blame me when you came back, I was with someone else..." He put away the letter at once, took off the collar badge and put it on the bed, and said angrily, "I am no longer a soldier." He began to implement his escape plan.He dodged the night patrolling soldiers, ran to the courtyard wall, climbed onto a tree, and jumped out from the top of the wall.He ran to the highway, stopped a night truck, stepped forward and said, "Master, can you give me a ride?" The driver asked: "Where are you going?" Gao Quan said: "The train station and bus station are fine." He climbed into the car and sat in the passenger seat.The driver said: "Why don't you wear a badge and badge? Are you a soldier? If you are not a soldier, you should get out of the car quickly." It's a big deal, let me go back, and I didn't bring anything with me when I was in a hurry." At noon, Gao Quan sneaked into the house quietly.Qiuying was cooking lunch, thinking it was Da Kui who was a guest at home two days ago, she said without raising her head, "Your father hasn't come back yet, so you are in a hurry to eat." Gao Quan whispered, "Mom, it's me." Qiuying looked up, surprised and delighted, and said, "Gao Quan, why are you back?" Gao Quan said to Qiuying, "Mom, don't ask me any more, give me a bowl of rice first, I'm starving to death." Qiuying hurriedly brought vegetables to Gao Quansheng's meal, but Gao Quan devoured it hungrily.Qiuying asked from the side: "The army asked you to come back?" Gao Quan shook his head while eating.Qiuying asked again, "Did your father ask you to come back?" Gao Quan raised his head and said, "He? He can let me come back?" Qiuying was a little worried, and said, "So, you came back by yourself?" Gao Quan said indifferently: "Anyway, I don't want to be a soldier anymore, so I can do whatever I like." Qiuying was so frightened that she lowered her voice and said, "My little ancestor, you've caused a big disaster this time. It's a desertion, a deserter, can your father forgive you?" Just as she was talking, Gao Dashan and Dakui's voice came from the yard. Qiuying was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to Gao Quan and said, "Hide quickly, if your father sees it, I won't kill you!" Promptly push Gao Quan into the large wardrobe in the bedroom. Gao Dashan and Da Kuixiang walked in, and saw that the pot on the stove was smoking, so Gao Dashan reached out and turned off the fire and said, "Old Qiu, what are you doing? Burn the pot to do other things. Is the meal ready?" ?” Qiuying hurriedly came out of the house, and said in a panic, "Okay, everything is ready, and dinner will be served right away." Gao Quan's escape made Wang Tieshan very busy.I searched everywhere, but there was no sign of high authority. Wu Liang said, "It's okay if he ran home, but if he really lost his way and crossed the border, it would be a big mess. If such a big thing happened, we can only complain to Commander Gao." Reported." The phone call to Gao Dashan's house really surprised Gao Dashan.He asked Wu Liang: "Say it again! Gao Quan is missing? He may have gone home? Wait a minute." He shouted at Qiuying who was clearing the table: "Old Qiu, come here." Qiuying said with a guilty conscience: "What's the matter, I see you talking about it." Gao Dashan said: "Has Gao Quan come back?" Qiuying felt more and more guilty, and said, "No, what, he wants to come back." Gao Dashan said: "Don't be careless, have you come back?" Qiuying said: "No, really not." Da Kui also said at the side: "Father, I have been in the yard all morning, and I didn't see brother Gao Quan come back." 高大山拿起电话，神色严峻地说：“伍亮，你听好，不管是否找到高权，下午六点前必须向我汇报。如果还找不到，这是一级事故，我要向军区汇报。” 高大山说完放下电话，气冲冲地向外走，秋英不安地问：“老高，你要去哪？”高大山说：“还能去哪，出了这么大的事，我当然要去值班室！” 大奎惊惧地望着高大山走出去，问秋英说：“娘，高权兄弟到底咋地了，出了啥事？”秋英没好气地说：“没你的事，你该干啥就干啥吧。”大奎讪讪地向外走去。 等他两个都走了，秋英急急跑进屋冲高权说：“我的小祖宗，你爸说，还要向军区汇报呢。”高权不以为然地说：“大不了开除我军籍，反正我不想干了。”秋英说：“看你爸那火气，这回饶不了你了。”高权说：“妈，我不在家呆了，我躲到外面去。”秋英说：“看来，只能这样了。我帮你收拾收拾东西，再找点吃的。” 大奎在外面听出了高权的声音，又走过去扒着门缝，看见了高权。他马上去找高大山，哨兵却不让进办公楼，说：“打电话吧，要是司令不让进，我们也没办法。”大奎拿起电话却不会用，求助地望着哨兵。哨兵帮接通了高大山，大奎冲电话说：“爹，高权兄弟在家呢。”高大山这一听还得了，怒冲冲回到家来，见秋英提着一个包正要护着高权下楼，气得冲上去一把抓住了高权：“好哇，你这个逃兵，还想往哪逃！” 高权犟着说：“反正我不想当兵了。咋处理都行。” 高大山这个气呀，甩手就给了高权两个耳光。“你这个逃兵，到现在还嘴硬！”又习惯地去腰间摸枪，发现没戴在身上，一抬头，见挂在了墙上，回身从墙上取下了枪，哗啦一声推上了子弹，吼道：“你这个逃兵，我毙了你！” 大奎冲上来，喊着：“爹，千万别开枪，兄弟没犯死罪呀。”一下子抱住了高权，两人倒在地上。 高权挣扎说：“你别管我，是你出卖了我。” 高大山说：“是你自己出卖了自己。” 高大山抓起电话说：“给我接警卫连。” 高权被他爹亲自押回了七道岭阵地。到了哨所时，天已黑了，还下起了大雨。 全体官兵站在雨中，听高大山训话。高大山说：“高权是我的儿子，可他也是七道岭的兵。他私自开小差，当了逃兵，按条令规定，该怎么处分就怎么处分。我要向大家检讨，我没当好这个司令，没有带好高权这个兵。我要向整个守备区检讨。”他从哨兵手里接过枪，站到哨位上，大声地说：“高权是我的兵，也是我的儿子，他在哨位上没有站好岗，这一班岗，我替他站了。全体，听我的口令，跑步回营房。” 队伍跑去了。风雨中，高权独自站在那里。 伍亮走到高大山身旁，要脱下自己的雨衣给高大山穿上，被高大山拒绝了。伍亮要留下来陪他，他说：“这里不需要团长，只需要士兵。我命令你，跑步离开。” 伍亮只得离去。大雨中，只剩下高大山和高权。高权站在高大山身后，望着高大山的背影，他的脸上流着雨水和泪水。 5.一个真正的兵 事发后的第三天，大奎来到哨所看望高权。营长带他来到伍亮这里，说：“团长，这是高权同志的大哥，他打司令员老家大老远地看他来了。” 大奎忙上前套近乎说：“首长，我叫大奎，高大奎，高大山是俺爹！”伍亮看看他说：“啊，我想起来了，你是大奎。我是伍亮，咱们见过的！” “对对，首长，咱们见过！……”大奎眼睛发亮说，又想不起来，抱歉地笑，“你看我，脑子笨，一下子又想不起来在哪见过的了，你看看这！” 营长说：“这是我们团长，伍团长！” “对，伍团长！……”大奎说，他还是想不起来在哪里见过，“团长，俺兄弟咋样？他在这干得还好吧？” 伍亮哼了一声说：“你是来看高权的？” 大奎眨巴着眼睛说：“对呀！” 伍亮说：“是司令员叫你来的？” 大奎摇头。 伍亮说：“那是那个谁……秋主任叫你来的？” 大奎想想，摇头说：“不，是我自个儿想俺兄弟了，来看看，来看看。” 伍亮对营长说：“我还有事，要马上回团里，你先让连里给我把高权好好关他几天！”然后又看看大奎说：“对了，你让人带他去看看吧！” 禁闭室里，高权面朝墙坐着。大奎亲热地喊了一声说：“高权！兄弟！” 高权一惊，回头一看是大奎，不理他。大奎说：“高权，是哥来了！”瞧他一眼，又看了看四周说：“噢，兄弟，你就一个人住这儿啊！” 高权突然大吼道：“你来干啥？我不认识你！” 、营长大声地说：“高权，你什么态度！”大奎忙对营长说：“首长你别生气，俺哥俩闹着玩呢！俺兄弟他就这样，他就这样！” 营长点头说：“你们谈吧，我出去了！” 大奎点头说：“好好，你忙！你忙！” 营长出门时，高权猛然站起，趁机向门外闯，一把被哨兵拦住。营长回身说：“高权，你想干什么？给我回去老实呆着！” 大奎悄悄拉他，又对营长赔笑说：“没事儿！没事儿！营长，你忙！你忙！” 高权无奈地走回去，重新背对大奎坐下。 大奎走过来摸炕上的被褥说：“哎，我说兄弟，不是哥说你，对待首长咱不能这个态度，你说是不是？人家是首长！就说咱爹吧，是个司令员，人家都对他这么说话，他这首长还咋当啊，对不对？哎，我说你这褥子不厚哇，夜里睡觉肯定冷，怪不得咱爹咱娘整天惦记你……” 高权不理他。 大奎打开包袱，拿出一条狗皮褥子说：“兄弟，你瞧我给你带啥来了？深山老林的事别人不知道，你哥我知道，夏天虽说不热，可它潮，冬天冷起来又能冻死个人……这个你留下,抵个风防个寒啥的,管用。”高权还是不回头。大奎说：“爹把你押回来了，我这心就忽悠一下子，你不能和我比，我从小吃苦吃惯了，你哪受得了这个呀，想来想去也没啥好拿的，就把这带来了，想你能用得上。七道岭真难找，我找了三天。” 高权依旧不语。 大奎说：“兄弟，那话就说到这，地里的活还没忙完，那我就走了，等下次哥再来看你。” 大奎从禁闭室出来，营长留他吃饭他不肯，急着要回去。临了把营长拉到一旁说：“我这兄弟犯错误了吧，犯错误了就该管。可千万别告诉我爹，我爹岁数大了，怕他着急上火。” 营长说：“放心吧，我们会教育好高权的。” 送走大奎，营长来到禁闭室说：“高权，你大哥走了，我们帮你送走的！”高权坐着不说话。突然，他跳起来，急步向门外走，哨兵上前要拦住他，营长对哨兵点点头，哨兵闪开了，高权出门跑起来。一班长说：“营长，他不会再跑了吧？”营长摇摇头。 高权在一座山头上追上了大奎。大奎看到了高权，先是一惊，接着高兴起来说：“兄弟，你是来送我的吧？”高权满脸痛苦，却不说话。大奎高兴地说：“兄弟，回去吧……”高权还是不吭声，也不走，只是站着。大奎又往下走几步说：“兄弟，好好地干啊，别让咱爹咱娘惦记……” 大奎已经到了山下，发现高权还在那儿站着，他喊：“兄弟，回吧！记住哥的话，别记恨爹！不管爹看上去心多狠，他这么做都是盼着儿女成人哪！兄弟，爹是个顶天立地的人，爹娘生养咱们一场，咱们做儿女的，要给他们长脸哪！”他最后招一下手，走上了公路。高权终于喊出了一声说：“哥……” 大奎一震，回过头来，高权说：“哥，你走好……” 大奎笑了，泪水流出来说：“兄弟，哥这就走了。”大奎挥手，走远。 高权流着泪点头。 他提前结束了禁闭室的生活，开始像个真正的兵一样出操，训练，站哨。这天他正在瞭望塔上面站哨，连部警卫员爬上来，热情地跟高权打招呼说：“高权，有你一封信，东辽城来的。对了，这里还有一张照片，是团长叫人捎给你的。” 高权接信和照片，平静地说：“谢谢你。”他将信和照片放进大衣口袋，继续瞭望。过了一会儿又把它们掏出来，看一眼照片，放到一边，拆信。 信是小菲写来的。她说：“高权，你好。告诉你一个事，你到部队后寄来的信我都收到了。主要告诉你，自从你走后，我就和赵和平好了。这封信我本来也不想写，可是想来想去还是写了。高权，你以后别给我写信了，赵和平看见了不好。咱们俩的事就算完了吧。祝你在部队里过得快快活活。小菲。九月二十八日。” 高权慢慢把信折起来，慢慢地将信撕碎，抛掉。大风将漫天纸屑卷走了。
