Chapter 7 Chapter 4 Xu Sanduo's Road (1)

Before I became a talent, I always thought that being a soldier is like the fifth squad: reporting the number is one, two, three, four, five, a total of five numbers; carrying a gun is empty with no bullets.Five guns, five faces, look down and see up. Talented people are different. The soldier should have the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with steel and diesel, while the fifth squad is a mixture of grass and fried noodles... It's really embarrassing, but fortunately this smell is no stranger. We are the fifth squad on the grassland, guarding a hidden underground automatic control oil pipeline, we have never even seen what kind of things we guard.

We are like scarecrows.The scarecrow is happy, but the scarecrow is hollow.This is what Li Meng said. On the way back, I kept thinking that Chengcai had filled his high-hard steel armor and 400 rounds of ammunition every day, but are we hollow? The way back is very long, there are no passing cars, and the horizon is still endless. This kind of endlessness sometimes really makes people lose confidence. When I was a child at home, I thought the world was an endless mountain. Because I wanted to know what was on the other side of the mountain, I was always ridiculed. Later, people outside the mountain built a road. When I got out of the banyan tree, there was a car and a road. The mountain divided the boundaries , Infinity finally has a limit.

Now it's gone again, what's left is just the path you're walking on, and you have to go a long way until you reach the emptiness that you can't grasp at all. All I have is the path I'm walking on and the path I'm going to take, and nothing else.Li Meng still has his thoughts and novels. When walking on the road, I decided not to tell Lao Ma and the others about this idea. I have been told too many times, and they told me: I have time to do other things! Telling and not telling is my stupidity, but in fact, it is also my shrewdness. ★Second Class Non-commissioned Officer Xu Sanduo

The empty grassland, the clouds are low and the sky is far away.Xu Sanduo walked on the road for a long time, and there were no passing vehicles, so he had to walk on foot. What he saw and heard today made Xu Sanduo feel a little unhappy. Finally there was the sound of an engine, but it was an armored vehicle, Xu Sanduo dodged aside knowingly. The officer in the car checked Xu Sanduo and asked: Young man, are you from the maintenance station in front?Report, I am in the third and fifth shifts, and the task is to guard the maintenance station.My name is Xu Sanduo.The officer smiled and said: Then why don't you get in the car?Xu Sanduo froze for a moment, then climbed onto the car clumsily.

Have you ever been on an armored vehicle?Recruit egg.asked the officer. Xu Sanduo remained silent, the officer seemed to know what was on his mind: Don't you think it's not worth it to be assigned to this remote place as soon as you come? Xu Sanduo remained silent. Nothing worth it.I never give a ride, I'm not a taxi.Why did I stop when I saw you? Xu Sanduo looked at the officer, and the officer said to him sternly: Because you are at the maintenance station, I would not dare to run so fast without you, and halfway said that I ran out of gas, so I had to set up camp and wait for the gas truck to arrive.I'm telling you the truth, you don't like to hear it, do you?

Xu Sanduo remained silent. It was the first time for Xu Sanduo to take such a car, and it was much faster and more majestic than a tractor. In the dormitory of Class 5, Li Meng was actually holding a deck of playing cards, and was doing nothing to himself.Xue Lin couldn't see it, saying that you are finished, you are finished, and the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army actually started fortune-telling.But Li Meng is a staunch atheist. He said that he is not counting fate, and he is concerned about whether Xu Sanduo, after seeing the majesty of the regular army, can continue to pave his ghost road with all his heart.

The old horse said Li Meng, you have to speak clearly, aren't we a regular army? Li Meng said yes, of course, we belong to the less important part of the regular army.Our main way out is to recognize this status quo, not to do things that shouldn’t be done, and not even to think about it. This is an atheist’s realistic way of life.The old horse was a little confused: what do you mean not too important?You can be dissatisfied with what you are doing now, but that is called a different division of labor. Li Meng said that my choice of words and sentences are relatively post-modern. Postmodern ones, stop yelling about your giant novels in the future.Lao Ma said: Also save some manuscript paper fees, don't keep asking us for cigarettes.

It's a novel.As Li Meng said, he continued to count for Xu Sanduo, nagging: Tian Lingling, Earth Lingling, this poker card tells us that Xu Sanduo's stubbornness is due to short-sightedness, and he saw a road in front of him. He has never seen the world, but now that he has seen a little bit, his heart will be loose.You, me, Xue Lin, Lao Wei, we were all serious people before, but seeing the world is so big, it is not easy to be too serious, and there are many choices. Xu Sanduo returned to the door at this time and stood there in a daze. Li Mengbu was stunned for a moment: ...Xu Sanduo, why did you come back?

I saw my comrades in arms, bought flower seeds, and came back.He said and walked into the house. Why didn't you play for a while? I've seen it all, and I'm back. Li Meng poked Xue Lin happily, and the two glared at each other. What did you see, Xu Sanduo?Li Meng came over to Xu Sanduo. Tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, missiles...all seen. Do you have any thoughts, Xu Sanduo? Xu Sanduo wanted to find some good words, but he couldn't find any, and finally said: Their words are really good. What about us? Each has its own comparison. Xu Sanduo answered this question very simply, and he thought about it all the way.

Li Meng and the others didn't expect Xu Sanduo to answer like this, and they were at a loss for words.He didn't expect that he dug a hole for Xu Sanduo, but he got himself into it in the end.Li Mengxin was unwilling, and forced to say: How can there be a comparison?We have more than one hundred playing cards, and he has more than one hundred tanks. Is this the comparison? We all know each other and don’t check our IDs; they still train on their rest days, whether it’s good or bad; most importantly, they all say they can’t run without us. After speaking, Xu Sanduo relaxed, and then said, "Squad leader, I'll go and see our way."

Several people were stunned for a while, and the old horse said: What?Are you still building roads? Xu Sanduo said: I want to plant the flower seeds before it gets dark. Wait, Xu Sanduo, wait.The old horse couldn't believe it.Xu Sanduo said monitor, are you okay?The old horse murmured for a long time, and said, "That's right, about that road, your road, no, it's our road, can you... Xu Sanduo seemed to know what the monitor was going to say, so he snatched the words: By the way, monitor, I almost forgot to give it to you.Then hand a paper bag to the monitor.The old horse looked at the paper bag: what?Xu Sanduo is a storyteller, a book about playing bridge!The old horse couldn't help but get confused: you still buy me something?How embarrassing!How much will I give you.Xu Sanduo said that the book was 10% off. I wanted to give the money, but the boss didn't want it yet. He said the soldiers would take it away. Who wants it?Most of the bridge players in this place are crazy. ah?Oh...that's good, that's good. Several people were dumb as soon as they entered, as if Xu Sanduo had secretly hit him with a sap. Is there anything else, monitor?Xu Sanduo asked. It's okay, it's okay, go about your business. Xu Sanduo turned around and looked at his way. That road is still extending unknowingly. In order to prevent the extension of the road, Lao Ma racked his brains and finally decided to come to a training session, hoping to use training to break up Xu Sanduo.But it wasn't Xu Sanduo who really couldn't bear it, but the others. First of all, everyone's training backpack must be more than 30 kilograms.But Xue Lin's bags weigh less than 30 kilograms each.The old horse got angry when he saw it, and he said: Look at Xu Sanduo! Xu Sanduo's bags are full and may weigh more than 30 kilograms. Xue Lin said, squad leader, it’s true that an individual soldier has a load of 30 kilograms, but there is no bullet in the gun, why do you let us carry 30 kilograms? Xu Sanduo was on the sidelines, but he was very happy, and said to report to the squad leader, the recruits even taught, and put bricks. Not only the recruit company, but every army will.The old horse stared at Xue Lin: "You don't know how?"Don't you hear it too? Li Meng looked around and said there were no bricks. Xu Sanduo said that there is still a small pile behind the house, and I will get it for you! He didn't notice that Li Meng and the others were secretly gritting their teeth with hatred for him. But the old horse refused to let him go. Let them pack it by themselves, six yuan per person, and I will check when I come back. Li Meng's eyes widened. He said monitor, are you serious?It's a five-kilometer cross-country. Will I be finished after running? The old horse ignored him and said, I think our fifth class is getting more and more out of words, and the physical training has also been dropped. Li Mengxuelin, look at you standing up, sitting and walking, you are no different from ordinary people .So let's increase the intensity of training, starting from the full-load five-kilometer cross-country... Li Meng said, we are not a combat unit. Lao Ma said that this is the spirit of the superior document. which document?Why didn't I watch it?Xue Lin muttered. As a soldier, you should cultivate your professional quality at any time. Which document should you use to tell you this? Seeing the old horse start a real fire, Li Meng and the others stopped making a sound. Come on, you guys, one minute to code bricks. The old horse yelled at Li Meng. After laying the bricks, a small team started to run around the hill. As they ran, the formation slowly dispersed. Li Meng and the three helped each other, and slowly, they formed a group again. heap. Xu Sanduo naturally took a big lead, and ran with unusual ease. The most backward is actually the old horse. He managed to catch up, but he said to Li Meng: Also... run... run... can you run?Will... or... give me the gun... the gun. Old Wei was panting, and he said, "Squad...squad leader, it's... already five kilometers away." The old horse glanced at Xu Sanduo in front of him, and said that he still had to run.gun...give me the gun... Looking at the old horse's appearance, who dares to give him the gun?No matter how heartless you are, you have to carry it yourself. Xue Lin smiled wryly: My monitor...what are you doing?You can't run by yourself. Who... who said that?The old horse let out a sigh of relief: Looking back a year, I ran ten kilometers just for fun, and I was so dazed with you stragglers! Li Meng seemed to understand something. Squad leader, what do you have in mind? Let everyone make up their minds. The old horse thought about it, and finally said it. I want to increase the intensity of training, and he naturally has no energy to repair the road. The three of them collapsed to the ground. You said it earlier!I said earlier that we quietly removed the bricks! Yes, I knew what kind of bricks were really placed! Several people were about to remove the bricks, but the old horse yelled: Who dares to withdraw... I am in a hurry with whoever removes the bricks!We soldiers, Dou... Dou also wants to be honest and upright, and he is not interested in these sneaky things. But looking at Xu Sanduo's back, Lao Ma was in a daze again. He said it was true, does this kid have physical strength? Xu Sanduo, who was in the distance, looked back to see that they hadn't followed, then turned around and ran back. Xue Lin said monitor, I know you are embarrassed to say it, but let me say it this time.Let me tell you, is he okay? The old horse felt a little helpless, so he had to say, well, just say it. But when Xu Sanduo came over, Xue Lin couldn't speak again.As soon as Xu Sanduo came up, he took the guns of the four of them and carried them all on his shoulders.Saying that I can still do it, let me take it. Xue Lin was discouraged when he saw it, and he poked Li Meng secretly: You should say it. Li Meng went to poke Old Wei beside him: How about you say it? Old Wei went to stab the squad leader next to him: I said... I said the squad leader, let's go back? The old horse only had to nod, he said go back, but no one complains to me about this! The defeated generals had no choice but to nod weakly. On the way back, they still couldn't think about it, especially when Old Wei was walking on Xu Sanduo's new road, the more he thought about it, the more he hated him, and he kept kicking on Xu Sanduo's road, causing stone chips to fly.Li Meng said, Old Wei, you are too poisonous, you don't need to be like this.But old Wei said: I'm just angry. Let's have four veterans for one piece of squad leader. The combined age of the soldiers is more than ten years, right?How did you lose to a recruit? But what's the use of kicking his road pipe?People step on road repairs, and they wish you would step on them. Old Wei kicked again: I stepped on it?I can't wait...I can't wait to dig it! This sentence seems to have touched a place in everyone's heart, and some people secretly nodded. Sure enough, they started at night. In the middle of the night, Li Meng lit a flashlight to wake up Xue Lin and Old Wei one by one. The rooster crows in the middle of the night, get up! In fact, Xue Lin and Lao Wei didn't sleep, and got up quickly. The squad leader won't come back, will he?Old Wei was a little apprehensive. Won't.Li Meng said that his old style, after checking the warehouse and the kitchen, did not toss for two hours, I am sorry for his bed. ... I will have to change to Xu Sanduo later. When you're done, you go back to sleep and ask Xu Sanduo to call you. This is called making an alibi. Old Wei was taken aback: ...Is this considered a crime? Of course not!Xue Lin, he dare not go with us!Xue Lin? Xue Lin looked at Li Meng, feeling a little pitiful. He asked if he should cover his face? Li Meng became anxious immediately, he said that if you dare not go, I will go by myself! When I reached the door, I also stopped, and turned back to the two of them and said, "It's agreed that there will be difficulties together, are you so unreliable?" After being stunned for a long time, Xue Lin made up his mind: Old Wei, let's go! just go! The three finally took a step. The three of them were like thieves. One of them took a pickaxe and covered the flashlight with a cloth. Finally, they found that this was completely unnecessary, because the moonlight was so good that night, and the black stones, white stones and copper ore on the road , sparkling everywhere. Looking at this road that suddenly seemed gentle and peaceful, the three of them were stunned for a long time. After a long time, Old Wei asked: Shall we dig? Li Meng looked at Xue Lin, and also asked: Are you digging? Xue Lin turned to look at Old Wei, and asked: Do you want to dig? Li Meng suddenly threw the pick on the ground with a bang, and said: Forget it, forget it, what is the truth with a fool? Xue Lin also thought so, nodded and said: That's right, I'm sweating all over, am I sick? Old Wei asked: What do you mean?He didn't seem to hear them. It's not interesting, if you want to dig, you dig, I won't dig. I dig and I dig!Old Wei raised the pickaxe but did not drop it. He stared at them fixedly. Li Meng turned his head to look at the sky, he said that the moon is so beautiful tonight!Xue Lin followed suit and said yes, it looked good tonight. Old Wei had no choice but to throw away the pickaxe too. Do you take me for a fool?You are not serious with fools, why should I be serious with fools? As soon as the voice fell, a flashlight flashed over.It's Xu Sanduo. who?Password! Leave him alone.Li Meng said. But we have a pickaxe!Old Wei said.A bit guilty. Then ignore him! Xu Sanduo couldn't tell it was them, and suddenly pulled the bolt of the gun. Old Wei was so frightened that his voice changed, he pulled Li Meng: he is going to shoot! Li Meng pushed him: what are you afraid of, there are no bullets! Old Wei ignored Li Meng, turned around and headed into the dormitory.Li Meng saw that Xue Lin had also slipped away in a blink of an eye, and ran back when he couldn't hold on anymore. When he was approaching the door, he fell to the ground in a hurry, and Xue Lin from Old Wei was dragged in. Xu Sanduo heard someone running, so he chased after him.He said I saw it, don't run!But only the old horse was illuminated by his flashlight.The old horse's face looked preoccupied, and he said: Don't shout, it's me. Xu Sanduo immediately turned off the flashlight: it turned out to be the monitor. How did you leave your post without authorization? I hear voices over here. What's the sound, it's all right, go back to your post. Xu Sanduo saluted the old horse, turned around and returned to stand in the sentry box. The old horse followed silently, looked at Xu Sanduo's childish face under the moonlight, and asked: "Xu Sanduo, how old are you?"Xu Sanduo said: It's almost nineteen.It's still a child, said the old horse, but it looks big in military uniform.Xu Sanduo immediately puffed up his chest, and then said monitor, let's go back to rest early.The old horse didn't leave, he lit a cigarette and said: I want to chat with someone.I found Xu San staring at him with big eyes and small eyes, and asked: Why don't you speak?I said I wanted to talk to you. I'm waiting for the monitor to speak. Xu Sanduo, you are such a person, you don't know good or bad.Sometimes I don't even know if you're a fool. Xu Sanduo said: I am quite stupid. Xu Sanduo, let me tell you, most people are lazy but also very vain. They are happy to find something that is too big to do, and then say: Look, I am doing something big.You are different. In fact, the things you have to do are not big, but you have to do it well, which is good, but those people don’t do anything. They live in the same house with you, and they will be unhappy... Why? No reason.If you think about it this way, in such a place where no one lives for dozens of miles, it is very lazy for people to survive without a single miss. If you accomplish your work, if they fail to do it, their miss will disappear.Take me for example, I say every day that I stay in the army because of you bear soldiers, is that true?When you were building the road, I was thinking every day, how do you live here without my old horse?Neither better nor worse.What will happen if my old horse leaves the army?I don't know, I joined the army when I was about the same age as you, and I don't even know how to live locally.But I absolutely can't say that, I have to say that I'm exhausted here for you, so I can believe it myself that this is what I miss.But this is definitely not something that can be explained away, whoever tells the truth, I am in a hurry... But don't you say it all now? Isn't that because you are stupid?Alas...Xu Sanduo, that's not what I mean, I just mean, stop what you're doing, don't do it, you're making everyone lose face. it is good.Xu Sanduo answered without any hesitation. The old horse was stunned: You agreed? But monitor, I didn't do anything, why do you ask me to stop? What else?That's the way! That's not my business, that's the way of our class, that's our business.Xu Sanduo said. The old horse was almost dumb. He said you boy, I won't tell you anymore!Just wait to be punished! Turn around and leave after speaking. Under the moonlight, the old horse walked angrily, and unknowingly, walked on the road of Xu Sanduoxiu.As he was walking, he suddenly remembered something, so he measured the length of the road with a very standard step method, two steps and one meter, he walked very mechanically, but his mood was very complicated. He kept talking about his steps. What Lao Ma didn't expect was that Xu Sanduo's road had been built for 427 meters. He was a little bit unwilling to believe it, and walked around seriously. Still four hundred and twenty-seven meters. Four hundred and twenty-seven meters...you fool. The old horse raised his head and turned his eyes to the guard box in the distance, silently looking at the invisible Xu Sanduo. Suddenly, he felt a little sad. The few people on the bed were still soundly asleep when the sharp whistle sounded suddenly. The old horse shouted loudly outside: Urgent assembly!Urgent assembly! Xu Sanduo got out of bed immediately, and packed his backpack in a blink of an eye. Li Meng and the others just ignored him, he closed his eyes and said to Xu Sanduo: Xu Sanduo, don't be fooled. Urgent assembly!Fully armed, urgent assembly! The old horse's orders didn't stop. Li Meng just jumped up and ran to the window naked to look out. The old horse saw Li Meng outside the window, and shouted: "Assemble urgently!"I'm not telling you to watch the sunrise! How can there be a sunrise, and the moon hasn't gone down yet.Squad leader, it's the first time we've had an emergency assembly this year!The fuel pipe is on fire? The old horse gave him a hard look, and whistled loudly at him. Li Meng had no choice but to turn around and pack his backpack to get dressed.Old Wei and Xue Lin also got up, and they were fighting for a pair of trousers in a hurry, each of them claimed it was theirs. It's burning, it's burning. Old Wei shouted in a hurry. When the three rushed outside, Xu Sanduo had already stood at attention for a long time. Lao Ma is wearing a camouflage uniform today, fully armed, a full-fledged soldier. Xue Lin, why do you wear clothes in the army? Xue Lin looked at the slacks under his camouflage uniform: Old Wei wore my training pants. Lao Ma pointed at Lao Wei's trousers: What do you say? Washed but not dry.Old Wei laughed along with him: Squad leader, why are you so grand?Fight? The old horse ignored him: full load, install bricks! Li Meng was taken aback: what?here we go again? This time, the old horse watched very closely, he watched them stuff bricks into the bag, and no one cheated. Afterwards, he ordered all the soldiers of the fifth squad to sprint at full speed towards the top of the mountain ahead!With the shout, he himself shot out first, pulling them behind. This time, the old horse was the first to rush to the top of the mountain. Naturally, he was already profusely sweating, but he tried his best to calm down his breathing.Xu Sanduo followed closely behind him, and the two of them stopped on the top of the mountain. After waiting for a long time, Li Meng and the others stumbled over and sat on the ground like mud. The distant sky finally revealed some light. The old horse looked at his watch, looked at the sky, and looked at his class, and suddenly shouted: "Assemble!" Everyone stood up, but it was not a formed team at all: Old Wei supported his waist, Xue Lin leaned on Li Meng, Li Meng ran away with his backpack, and pushed Xue Lin to lean on Xu Sanduo. Take a look at each other and see if we still look like soldiers?A quick march of less than seven kilometers made you run like this?The old horse stared at Old Wei: You asked me if there was a fight just now, and I will tell you now, just to show you that there was a fight, I dare not expect everyone to collect my body for me! No one made a sound, they were too tired to respond. I really want to know, if you don't have the heart to be a soldier, what are we doing here?Don't tell me that you're fucking a bird here, I thought so too, but now I can't keep fooling myself!Because I have seen people who are not the same as us, who live better than us! Xu Sanduo secretly asked Xue Lin: Why is the monitor so angry? Xue Lin said: Thank you, Xu Sanduo.
