Chapter 5 Chapter 3 Red three consecutive five classes (1)

Have you ever been to the grassland? Endless horizons come endlessly and seem to sneak around you. It is not only the yellow and green horizon that is prowling, but also the grasshoppers whizzing by. My comrade-in-arms Li Meng calls them stray bullets. Whenever he is hit by a grasshopper, he will assume the pose of a martyr. He always So creative, I really envy him. There are also hares and gerbils that sometimes jump out from under your feet, with big cheeks, they jump tens of meters and then look back at you motionlessly. They seem to have a strong curiosity.Lao Ma said that he really looks like Xu Sanduo.

Lao Ma is my second squad leader, the squad leader of Red Three Company, Second Row, and Fifth Class. There is also sand chicken, which is the favorite of Xue Lin and Lao Wei.They are my other two comrades in arms. And... And wolf, wolf is a term Li Meng and the others used to scare me. The old horse said it was gone, but I still believe that one night when I was on guard, I saw a wolf. It was not scary. We stared at each other. Everyone has their own busy schedules, and there are only a few of us in a radius of tens of kilometers. It has fewer types than me here. Besides, everyone has no shortage of food.But the old horse insisted that it was a fox.

I am a mountain person. I never thought that the land could be so flat and undulating like this. I never thought that such a horizon would be so vivid.This kind of emptiness is completely convincing. The grassland has become the place where I have the least doubts. When a person has no doubts, he can do many things. He can "do something else when he has time". Now people say that I have become a human being, but sometimes, I really want to go back there again. Because my Xu Sanduo myth happened there. ★Second Class Non-commissioned Officer Xu Sanduo When he walked into the simple room, Xu Sanduo looked dumbfounded.

The housekeeping here is not very tidy, the quilt folded into tofu cubes has been sat on, there are obviously a few butt marks on the bed, and the deck of poker on the table shows that someone was playing poker just now.Seeing the instructor bring Xu Sanduo in, Li Meng and several veteran soldiers stood at attention beside him without saying a word, appearing to be quite natural. Where is your squad leader?The instructor has spoken, and said that recruits are coming today, why don't they come out to welcome them?Do you see how much this dampens the enthusiasm of new comrades?Xu Sanduo, put down the luggage.

Report, I didn't wait outside, it is estimated that your car broke down halfway.It was Li Meng who spoke. Followed by Old Wei: Report, this is the time for group activities. You know that we have no conditions to engage in other sports besides poker. Xue Lin said: Report, the squad leader lost and was fined to go to the kitchen to cook noodles. The instructor was dizzy: Can't report alone?How about one person talking about cross talk? Li Meng said: "Report, the instructor, just these few people in Jiantian, they all have a tacit understanding!" The squad leader Lao Ma came in at this time: Report to the instructor, why are you here?I thought it would not arrive until after dark.

Everyone followed the old horse, extended their hands to Xu Sanduo, and said a few words of welcome.The instructor finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying that they are welcome!do you know?I didn't get off the other few, so I just got off at this terminal.Fifth squad leader, how do you want me to say hello?Not even a gong or drum sounded... While speaking, the instructor found a note that was pasted when playing poker behind the old horse's ear, and tore it off. Li Meng, Xue Lin, what do you want me to say?The old horse was embarrassed, so he hurriedly found a step.Li Meng was busy perfunctory, saying that he would knock, and then he would knock.I really have to get it, the instructor said forget it.Seeing that the instructor was standing all the time, Xue Lin hurriedly said that you should sit with the instructor.The instructor said: Where to sit?Sit on the bed?Squad leader, can you sit on the bed now?No!The old horse glared at those few and said, who of you is sitting again?A few soldiers quickly flattened the butt seal, put away the poker, and served a glass of water for the instructor and Xu Sanduo.Xue Lin said to the instructor, you drink water, this water has high copper content, so it can be regarded as mineral water.The instructor didn’t want to drink water at first, so he took a big gulp of anger and said: Xue Lin, you kid can endure hardships and also like to talk strange things, I’m going to convey a message, the water pipe will be connected here in the second half of the year, you can drink clean water now , Connect a water pipe for four people, let alone you are not in the group.

It would be great if you would just bring us another club. The instructor didn't take the conversation, he pointed to Xu Sanduo to Li Meng: Li Meng, no new comrades, this is Xu Sanduo, who just came out of the recruit company.Get familiar with the combat readiness environment, don't be a dick here. Li Meng gave Xu Sanduo a look, and the two went out. As soon as he went out, Li Meng was much more proud than being in front of the instructor. He asked Xu Sanduo, did he look out from the car just now?Xu Sanduo said that he has been watching.Then you're already familiar with the combat readiness environment.How many hours has it been since the recruit company came here?Xu Sanduo asked about four or five hours.Then you are also familiar with the location.Li Meng shook his hands, saying that it's over, let's go back.

Xu Sanduo looked around in a daze, saying that I was not familiar with it yet. Li Meng is a little impatient, it seems that you are serious.What is so familiar?Just four rickety rooms, five... no, you don't count... four hardened people.It’s not far, it’s not close, it’s a four-hour drive from the regiment headquarters, and the supply truck runs every three days to unload supply letters and other things.Our main task is to guard the oil pipelines, ensure the fuel supply during the field force exercises, as well as daily routine operations, combat readiness training, patrols... where?I say that pipeline.

Li Meng really wanted to slap him on the head and say it was underground!We don't need to take care of the automatic operation. We used to use a row to look at it, but found that it was not needed, so we withdrew it.Our purpose is to be like the catcher in the rye, that is, the scarecrow, poking here to scare people... I'm exhausted, I haven't talked so much in three days, do you have any cigarettes? no... yes.Xu Sanduo immediately took out a cigarette. Li Meng immediately lit one: You don't smoke yourself?Is this smoke for veterans? Xu Sanduo made a foolish hmm. Li Meng smiled, it was still possible.Let me tell you this, this mission is not scary or dangerous. The folk customs here are simple and simple, not to mention the destruction of enemy agents. Even the idea of ​​stealing oil has never crossed my mind. We don't need to maintain it.This place says whether it is bitter or not, and it is definitely not tired if it is said to be tired, just two words: boring!

Xu Sanduo listened in a daze. Do you have any hobbies? Hobby?Xu Sanduo thought for a while: No. Then I suggest that you quickly find a hobby, or if you are idle, you will be staring at gold stars after staying for five minutes.Let me tell you, did you see that one standing with me just now?His name is Xue Lin. His hobby is to send the stray sheep back to the herdsmen. When he has free time, he looks outside. Instead of praising him, he tries to talk to people outside the fifth class; the class leader, Lao Ma, doesn’t play chess Yes, he is studying bridge; Old Wei simply likes to give people ten nicknames a day...they are all stupid.

Xu Sanduo was dazed when he heard that. You... what are your hobbies? Don't be so rude, my name is Li Meng.Li Meng suddenly became solemn: My hobby, to be honest, I can't realize my ideal if I don't come to this grassland, but I will definitely be able to realize it when I come here. what is that? I write novels.Li Meng said. He said that I calmly started writing novels.It's about my life, I'm already twenty-one, and I want to write a novel about my life with about two million words.If I were in a bustling city, I would definitely not be able to finish it, but here... Yes, there is a great writer who wrote a masterpiece because he was in prison. Do you know his name? Xu Sanduo didn't even think about it: I don't know. Li Meng said, I knew it before, but I forgot it now, but it must be a great writer like Hemingway and Balzac, and I will be like them. Xu Sanduo immediately stood in awe. Don't let anyone know about it except you. Xu Sanduo nodded vigorously: I will definitely not say anything. Li Meng looked at Xu Sanduo, and suddenly smiled. He asked, did the instructor tell you that this is a glorious and arduous task to come here? Xu Sanduo said, said. Give me another cigarette.Li Meng simply took the cigarette case and put it in his pocket: I'll take it first.He told Xu Sanduo that the instructor did not understand the meaning of these words. The glory lies in the plainness, and the arduousness is because of the length. In any case, we can use our limited lives for unlimited careers. The instructor understands all this. But Xu Sanduo didn't seem to understand. As an official, words of encouragement must always be said. While eating noodles in the kitchen, the instructor did not forget to tell Lao Ma, saying, Lao Maka, you have to work hard, this is an honorable and arduous task.The old horse said no, he went out for exercises at six o'clock every day, patrolled at eight o'clock, and waited for it to be dark after twelve o'clock.The instructor said: Of course I will pay attention to your entertainment life outside of combat readiness missions, and I am suggesting to send Lian Liduo's set of karaoke over.A set of karaoke for five people, how many soldiers in China have such good conditions, old horse! The old horse echoed and said: Then if I stay here alone and guard the karaoke set, will I be able to catch up with the world level? Of course the instructor could hear what the old horse meant, so he put down the bowl and stared at the old horse: You are not like this.The old horse said: I used to live with the Quanlian people in that class, of course the Yasai little tiger!Seeing the old horse's reluctance, the instructor sighed secretly, and said, I know all about your hardships, and your class' tasks have been done well, I just don't like to see you so sluggish. The look of playing color.Ma, this year I will try to get you a third-class merit, so that it will be useful to find a job after retiring from the army. I have to find a way to keep you from being wasted here. The old horse panicked when he heard that, he said no, instructor, I am happy to stay here. The instructor liked to see the old horse's expression, so his tone hardened, he said he had to work hard if he stayed? The old horse said, I'm already doing a good job! The instructor said, you have to improve your mental outlook! The old horse said that we are soldiers!Soldiers have to form a group to be energetic!Four people, why hug?Don't think that I didn't work hard, I didn't miss a job during exercises, training, and patrols!But other things, you want me to tickle them? Now it's five people.The instructor said, five people, you must hold together. The grassland is as dark as ink at night. The air-conditioned car pulled the instructor back empty-handed. The old horse patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder and said let's go back too.What's the name. Xu Sanduo. The instructor said that you can't beat a fart with an eighteen-pound hammer, so don't worry about it. I was also like this at the recruiter's meeting. I didn't like to talk and didn't dare to talk. Xu Sanduo said that I can't speak. The old horse said, then your realm is higher than mine.How about it?What is your impression of Class Five? Xu Sanduo said casually: It's very good. Good? Lao Ma felt that Xu Sanduo was not telling the truth. Squad leader, is our squad firing guns? . Shoot?Of course shoot!I'll send you a gun tomorrow, and the guards here are all armed with false ammunition. That's even better! The old horse smiled bitterly and said: You are quite good at talking.You are not like what the instructor said. It is very good.The instructor said that this task was both glorious and arduous, and Li Meng said that it was glorious because it was dull, and difficult because it was long. Did he tell you that he is writing a 2 million word novel, his life and so on. I said it, but he said that he would not let others say goodbye? The old horse couldn't help laughing, he said that even the rats knew it, he tore it up and wrote it down, after a year of tossing around, he still had a preface of 200 words!But the old horse didn't want to ruin Li Meng's image, so he said: "However, Xu Sanduo, I think you are a real person. Let me give you an idea first. They have to find an idea for themselves, and you have to give yourself an idea. Otherwise the place would be stuffy and sick. What are you thinking, monitor? You kid likes to dig roots, let me tell you, Li Meng must say that I am a stinky chess basket, a stinky card basket or something, that is fake, my thoughts are you soldiers, now these soldiers are different from before, so good Thinking wildly, no one cares that the sky is going to turn upside down, I have to watch you.But Lao Ma's voice became lower and lower, as if he had no confidence. I don't like to say the word dedication when he said it, but sometimes... hey, life is like this. After listening to Xu Sanduo, I was secretly admiring him. Li Meng in the room actually couldn't write a novel. After writing for a long time, he clumps up the manuscript and throws it into his wastebasket.The few people around were waiting for him at this time, the first one was Xue Lin, he hurriedly gave Old Wei a wink, and Old Wei immediately yelled: Tolstoy is done!Yan Xishan, Shen Wanshan, how many tables do you have! The game of poker began again, with a lot of noise as they played. Xue Lin had nothing to say, so he said Old Wei, when will I change my name to Yan Xishan again? Old Wei said, you are Shen Wanshan, and his name is Yan Xishan.I planned to make five mountains for our class, and then I came up with two mountains.Li Meng came over at this time and said to add Hu Hansan.Xue Lin said, since I met you, Li Meng, I don't admire writers anymore, and I can't tell the difference between Ganqing Lianshan and San.In card wrestling, I got three kings in my hand, and my B52 shocked you to death... At this time, Lao Ma and Xu Sanduo came back. The old horse's face sank when he saw it, and he said: Did I say it's time for group activities? Li Meng hurriedly looked outside, and quietly asked: What's the matter?The instructor hasn't left yet? What does it have to do with whether the instructor leaves or not?Put it away and put it away. Everyone seemed to be in a daze, wanting to ignore it. Lao Ma said, the instructor officially expressed his opinion on the mental state of our class today, I thought we should also be upright, everyone should be in high spirits...Hold together, we are wearing military uniforms... But Li Meng couldn't listen to it. He said, if he could check it every day, I would keep standing upright when I slept, but he didn't come once a month! The old horse finally got angry and shouted: Get up for me!Cards thrown!The whole class line up!Is this against you?Like a soldier?No playing cards now!According to the normal schedule of the team, now... watch the news now!Discuss and speak after watching! It seems that the old horse's annoyance is also a daily leisure, and the soldiers had to sit up straight with their eyes, watching the old horse adjust the TV vigorously, but it was just a snowflake. Xue Lin likes to make trouble, and can't help his mouth, so he imitated the broadcast: Today is a review of the classic movie, "The Big Wave Washes the Sand"... The old horse was a little annoyed when he heard it, and he punched the TV set. After hitting it, there was a sound on the TV, but there was still no picture. Li Meng then joined in the excitement, saying why did the Central People's Broadcasting Station appear on TV?This is called infringement... listen!Do not talk.The old horse gave Li Meng a white look. There was a faint shadow on the TV, probably a military program, talking about the soldiers of a certain border post. look at people.The old horse was a little emotional. Listen to people.The soldiers also sighed, this taste is obviously a mockery of the old horse. Xue Lin sighed to the TV: "Comrades in the frozen border post thousands of miles away, at least you still have a stalwart figure and good memories!"Li Meng also sighed, saying monitor, I really want to dedicate my life to a very glorious and great cause, to save someone or something, and then I said don't ask my name, I am a soldier.But yesterday when I heard the cries for help, I rushed over to take a look, and guess what, the mouse that stole food fell into our water tank! Helpless, Lao Ma had no choice but to announce: disband!When we can receive TV signals here, we must return to normal time!He turned around and looked at Xu Sanduo, and couldn't help laughing at himself: You've caught up, kid.To say that in our China, there are really not many classes like ours.Have you eaten?Xu Sanduo shook his head.The old horse finally seemed to find something, and said that he should go to eat quickly!Xu Sanduo, sorry for today, we really welcome you to our small group!He led Xu Sanduo to eat. In the morning, Xu Sanduo looked at the morning light outside the window, and got up from the bunk. Xue Lin, who was awakened, asked, is the guard changing?However, he fell asleep again.Xu Sanduo didn't say anything, just looked at it, then tiptoed out by himself, and went for a run. The vastness in the distance and the vitality on the land are vast and magnificent. Xu Sanduo ran out of breath in a blink of an eye. Usually in this kind of place, anyone would stop and sigh while looking at the sunrise in the distance, but this kid Xu Sanduo was kicking his goose step there. After Li Meng got up, he smoked in front of the bed.He saw that Xu Sanduo's bed was neat and tidy, and he felt a little strange in his heart. Xu Sanduo's upper bunk is an old horse.When he turned down, he saw Li Meng in a daze, and asked: What did you do so early in the morning? Li Meng said, today is Saturday, morning exercises are not allowed according to the regulations. The old horse said, did I let you do morning exercises? Li Meng said, but this new recruit went out to fuck by himself.I'm thinking…… What are you thinking?Lao Ma is still confused by Monk Zhang Er. Li Meng said, how long can a person's inertia and inertia last, and how long can this new recruit maintain his habit?Lao Ma said this is called inertia and inertia?Now you carry a 30kg load on your back and let me run ten kilometers!He suddenly smelled the smell of cigarettes in the room: What kind of cigarettes are you smoking?Yuxi?Give me one...well, where did you get it?Li Meng said I bought it.The old horse said nonsense, the nearest cigarette stand is twelve kilometers away.Do you take people Xu Sandu?take it out. Just as Li Meng took out his cigarette, Xu Sanduo came back, drenched in sweat.Lao Ma handed the cigarette to Xu Sanduo and said, Li Meng forgot to return the cigarette to you.But Xu Sanduo said, I don't smoke, Li Meng should.Li Meng took the opportunity to snatch the cigarettes back. At this time, Xue Lin got up, and Lao Wei got up too. As soon as they turned around, Xu Sanduo went over to tidy up the quilts on their beds one by one, making them all stunned when they sat at the table up. The quilts made by Xu Sanduo, Li Meng's and Lao Ma's. After finishing the quilt, Xu Sanduo started sweeping the floor again. Li Meng and the others murmured quietly, and made a small paper flag in the kitchen, with the words "Excellent Internal Affairs" written on it, one holding a basin, and the other in charge of applauding, jingling around Xu Sanduo, Finally, he put the small paper flag on Xu Sanduo's quilt, and the applause and knocking on the basin didn't stop. Pay tribute to Comrade Xu Sanduo who won the first outstanding internal affairs award in the history of the fifth class. I hope he will accept it as soon as he sees it. Shouted: What are you doing, what are you doing?He understood it at a glance.Put it away, put it all away!Xue Lin, you also copied out a bowl for mixing noodles, why don't you use your own washbasin?Xue Lin said no, monitor, this is tolerable or unbearable.The old horse said yes!Sit down for me, let's have a class meeting!Li Meng explained what kind of class meeting is to be held, and it hasn't come yet.The old horse glared at him: Is it up to you to talk about life? The three had no choice but to sit down. The old horse said: The class meeting is now held, Xu Sanduo, don't take this matter to heart.Seeing Xu Sanduo standing upright, looking very happy, I immediately felt troubled for him.I thought to myself what the hell is going on with Xu Sanduo, this little honor with malicious intentions can actually make him really happy?So he changed his mind and said: Actually, this is also good, Xu Sanduo, to be honest, I like you to maintain this kind of good military style from the bottom of my heart. You can add passwords to the internal military content, and you can tell at a glance whether a good soldier is a bad soldier... Xu Sanduo said, report to the monitor, I haven't done enough, I will continue to work hard. But let's be honest.The old horse said that the most important thing in a class is that everyone is harmonious, there are no internal conflicts, and if they are huddled together, they will be energetic. Do you understand what I mean? Xu Sanduo said, I will definitely establish a good relationship with everyone. But Li Meng heard the old horse's thoughts and said, monitor, this is a good detour, I think it's no wonder he understands. Xue Lin simply punctured the window paper. To tell the truth, he just wanted to thank you, Xu Sanduo, but you don't need to worry about our bed!While talking, he looked at the old horse.The old horse's eyes were staring at him, and there was a little difficulty in the old horse's eyes. But shouldn't we help each other?Xu Sanduo said. Li Meng said, we don't need your help on this matter, understand? So Xu Sanduo let out a hmm, and looked at the monitor stupidly: "Squad monitor, what else do you want to say at the class meeting?" The old horse didn't know what else to say, so as soon as he raised his hand, he ordered the meeting to end, and the meeting ended. Xu Sanduo felt a little disappointed, turned around and walked out sullenly. Looking at Xu Sanduo's back, the soldiers suddenly felt a little secretly guilty, looked at each other, and muttered: This matter is up to you. When Xu Sanduo went out, he took a gun and fiddled with it on the grass, aiming at something in the distance.Old Wei quietly followed and watched, then went back to the room and told them quietly: It's nothing, I'm practicing guns. The old horse turned pale when he heard it: gun?He took out all the guns and said he was fine! Old Wei said the squad leader, our fifth squad didn't even have a single bullet, so he might as well carry a firestick if he wants to do the whole thing. The old horse raised his voice: the important thing is the emotion!That kid really doesn't know how to fix things.I said you guys, are you okay?I wouldn't be bothered to take care of your kennel, they worry about you every day. Thinking about it, Lao Wei went out to see Xu Sanduo again. What's the matter?Excuse me.But we have to live with it. How are you doing? muddle along. But he alone disturbs us. I suddenly remembered what you, a great writer, often said, that what most people grasp is not necessarily the truth. Li Meng nodded unexpectedly, saying that it is very likely that what he has grasped is the truth, but it may also be vanity. Xue Lin said, what is truth in your hands, but it becomes vanity when it comes to others?Is that how you intend to write your novel?That's it, but when will you write it out?There must be more than a dozen stacks of manuscript paper that you tore off, right?Have you thought about the topic yet? Li Meng said Xue Lin, don't be happy, how many sheep have you collected recently?Relying on this sheep, how many words did you have with the little shepherd girl?You didn't pull the sheep from other people's flock to ask for credit, did you? ... Before the conversation was over, Old Wei came back again, and he said it was all right, he was really practicing aiming. The old horse suddenly remembered something, looked at the old Wei and suddenly became angry, he said there is still you, old Wei, what is my latest nickname, can you announce it?I think you should feel troubled, I think you are very troubled, you have completed the task, but you are doing some worthless things, or you are doing worthless things, outside That silly boy is solidly serving as a soldier!So you feel very disturbed!The more the old horse talked, the more angry he became. Old Wei said what's the matter, this is, such a big fire? The class monitor said I was just too hot!Delaying here because of you guys who are useless, I have no home to return to, and I am wasting time in the army because of you, what am I trying to do? Several people looked at his eyes, and found that this day suddenly seemed a little strange. The old horse suddenly felt guilty and said, what am I doing?Am I wrong?After speaking, go outside. Xu Sanduo outside was still practicing aiming, but he had already moved to the hill.After watching it for a while, the old horse asked listlessly, what are you doing?Xu Sanduo said: Report to the monitor, I am practicing shooting posture.The old horse said that your posture is quite right, and your standard is better than mine. But I just can't make it. The old horse said that the marksmanship is fed by bullets, you need to change to a decent company, feed it with a box of bullets, and you will be accurate. Xu Sanduo nodded, thinking it made sense. The old horse said, don't blame the squad leader for what happened today. Xu Sanduo seemed to have forgotten, what did he say today? The old horse was taken aback, but he couldn't stop talking. He said, I told you whether you understand or not. I think you are right. My squad leader really wants to uphold principles, but I have to uphold unity first. Sometimes It's a pain.Xu Sanduo, stop aiming, let me tell you the truth, our fifth squad is equipped with guns, but we don’t fire bullets. We shoot live ammunition once a year. Compared with those real combat troops, our squad is like spinach. Still have to understand. Xu Sanduo didn't care, he unloaded the empty magazine as if nothing had happened, took a look at it and reloaded it. He said that in the recruit company, our company commander said that the gun was built to fire. If it doesn't fire today, maybe it will spark the day after tomorrow bloom. The old horse was stunned, a little sad for him, and a little disappointed.After thinking about it, he said let me tell you a story. What is Xu Sanduo's story? The old horse said that there was a circular house, and eight dogs were locked in the house, seven dogs ran in circles clockwise, and one dog ran in circles counterclockwise.Later, the hunter took the seven dogs out to hunt, and killed the one dog to eat meat.Because that dog doesn't fit in, and seven dogs are worth more than one dog, and seven dogs are more powerful than one dog, you know what I mean?
