Chapter 9 chapter eight

Today is a free activity, and a few soldiers in the third class dormitory are playing cards in the room.Xu Sanduo stared blankly.In the third class, he has become a shadow. Bai Tiejun was cleaning the wall when he suddenly called out to Xu Sanduo: "Xu Sanduo, what do you think I am doing?" Xu Sanduo didn't have so many thoughts, so he replied honestly: "Wipe the wall." Bai Tiejun asked, "Why rub the wall?" Xu Sanduo said, "For internal affairs." Bai Tiejun said: "No, others wipe the wall to make it clean, and I wipe the wall to make it dirty, so that this white piece can be wiped the same color as other places, so that people can't see that this piece has hung a flag. .You know why we lost our flag, don't you?"

Of course Xu Sanduo knew that this was not a good word, he looked inside the room, turned around and went out.Looking at Xu Sanduo's back, Gan Xiaoning said, "I'm sure he will annoy the squad leader immediately." Bai Tiejun sighed for a long time, and said: "I suddenly want to do something that sacrifices myself and others. Although it is good to have one person at the bottom as the original junior of the third class, but now, I am willing to give up this bottom one." .” He thought he had told a joke and laughed, only to find that those people were looking at him seriously.

In the garage, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi were maintaining the vehicle. Shi Jin was not in a high mood, and Wu Liuyi was not in a high mood, so that for a long time, there was only the sound of steel crashing in their work, and there was no conversation. Wu Liuyi suddenly threw the steel drill with his hand, without any warning, Shi Jin relied on his experience and reaction to not let the next hammer fall on his shoulder: "What are you doing? Are you killing yourself?" Wu Liuyi looked at Shi Jin: "Please, how are you? I beg you." Shi Jin hesitated for a while, then simply threw the hammer away, leaned against the car body to wipe his face, and sighed again.

Wu Liuyi continued: "Not for the third class, not for the seventh company, not even for grades. Even if he is the best in the army, we don't want him, just because you have stayed with us for so many years! Sleep and eat at the same time , When there is adversity, the most difficult thing for soldiers is that when people come, they have to go... You are getting faster and faster, don't let yourself go." "So...you want him to go." Shi Jin turned his face away. "We have nothing to do with him!—we have nothing to do with him!" "He and I... already have a relationship." Shi Jin was gentle and firm, like an unstoppable tide.

Wu Liuyi was stunned: "I...I, shit!!" Shi Jin laughed a little sadly. On the same day, two soldiers told him a word that this soldier rarely said, and Gao Cheng had just said this word to him. Shi Jin: "There is something." Wu Liuyi said coldly: "If it has something to do with what I said, just say it." Shi Jin: "This month's advanced class...can you choose him?" Wu Liuyi's answer was to kick the chariot hard, it didn't hurt very much, so he hit his head against the chariot body again.Shi Jin knew this person too well, so he didn't hold back, but just watched with some regret.

Xu Sanduo carried a bucket and walked into the parking lot. Just as he entered the gate of the parking lot, he heard two sentinels at the door commenting on him unscrupulously.He knows that he is famous now, and he also knows that being famous is not a good thing! In the garage, Shi Jin was looking at Wu Liuyi, who was punching and kicking in the garage, full of force but without discipline, all the rumors were false, and all his actions had one purpose: to vent his anger. Shi Jin: "Why didn't you knock your head on the chariot? It hurt just now, didn't it?" Wu Liuyi's answer was that he gave the chariot another blow with his hand, it hurt so much - it wasn't the chariot that hurt.

Shi Jin smiled, sat next to the car, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it over.Wu Liuyi didn't pick it up, and let the pack of cigarettes fall under his feet.Wu Liuyi: "Don't bribe me!" Shi Jin looked at him with a smile: "It's the same as you were in the recruits back then, just one word, childish." Wu Liuyi: "You can control it?" It didn't matter, and Shi Jin didn't seem to intend to, but Wu Liu picked up the cigarettes on the ground and opened the seal resentfully. Of course, it was a sign that his anger was gradually dissipating.He sat down with his back to Shi Jin, breathing heavily.Shi Jin looked at this reckless man indifferently, maybe he shouldn't be called a reckless man, but just a person with too many emotions.

"Wu Liuyi, Wu Liuyi, which soldier are you in the Seventh Steel Company?" Wu Liuyi: "The 4900th. I know what you want to say. That idiot is 4956. You have to ask what is the meaning of remembering this. I will say yes In order to remember each one, so as not to abandon each one. You think beautifully. This is survival, or war. The whole company is charging desperately, and he hugs your legs. Is this harming people or killing people? , why can't I shoot him down? I really want to." Shi Jin: "He ran away without turning around, and wanted to rush up with us. Why did you kill him?"

Wu Liuyi: "By your nonsense, it's because we already have a close relationship with him!" At this time, a timid voice came from outside the garage: "Squad leader?" Wu Liuyi said angrily: "If you say him, he will come - get out!" The sound of jingling 25 came from outside, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi jumped up, and Xu Sanduo on the other side of the car body was falling to the ground, entangled with a pile of parts that had just been removed. Wu Liuyi laughed back angrily: "Look, look, he really will roll if he says get lost, just this kind of integrity..."

Shi Jin watched Xu Sanduo struggling to retrieve the bucket, rags and the like from under the pile of steel parts, and then sticking to his side like an arrow. To be honest, he also had a headache. Shi Jin carefully looked at Xu Sanduo's dreamy smile, under that smile, he could see sadness.Xu Sanduo is now escaping, escaping from a reality that he cannot bear. "What's the matter? Xu Sanduo." Xu Sanduo: "Nothing." Shi Jin: "Did someone tell you anything?" Xu Sanduo: "Nothing." Shi Jin: "Don't believe what they say, just do your job well..."

Xu Sanduo: "I'll help the squad leader clean the car." Shi Jin froze for a moment, he rubbed the back of Xu Sanduo's head, but couldn't get rid of that illusory smile. Shi Jin: "Welcome. Let's work together. The progress has already lagged behind." Xu Sanduo nodded quickly.And Wu Liuyi snorted softly. Everyone picked up their tools again, Xu Sanduo still seemed to be dreaming, Shi Jin was preoccupied, and Wu Liuyi had decided to make himself a mute. The lights were already on, and the work was indescribably awkward. Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi used various heavy tools to unload various heavier parts, while Xu Sanduo was always huddled together, using his bucket and rag to carry out the work. Wiping completely aimlessly.It's fine if you turn around and squeeze him and bump into him, you're always worried that the steel thing in your hand will fall on his fleshy head.For Xu Sanduo, there is only one purpose, to be closer to the only person who treats him as a human being.And progress is still behind. Wu Liuyi finally put down the sledgehammer in his hand. He has reached the limit of being dumb: "This can't be done. What does it feel like? Your machine gun is red, and the gunfire is flying all over the place. What is the person next to you doing? Sweeping the floor ! Haha, a model of cleanliness on the battlefield!" Shi Jin also scratched his head with a wry smile: "No. Xu Sanduo, infantry vehicles are not window panes, and they are not maintained like this." Wu Liuyi: "Xu Sanduo, how about going to play with the class? I still want to go. A pair of crawlers haven't been removed yet, it's a lot of things like usual! They are playing poker." Xu Sanduo: "Playing poker is pointless." Wu Liuyi: "Aha, meaning! You will cause indigestion of these two words! Please tell me, what is your meaning?" Xu Sanduo: "My dad said that to be meaningful is to live well, and to live well is meaningful." Wu Liuyi: "What do you mean by living well, Master Xu?" Xu Sanduo: "To live well is to do meaningful things, and to do many, many meaningful things." Wu Liuyi was dumbfounded for a while, and was so angry that he had to shout out of the garage door: "Truth! Comrades, I accidentally bumped into the truth today!" Shi Jin dragged him back: "Take a break, take a rest! Xu Sanduo, the progress has to be accelerated, you learn maintenance from us." Xu Sanduo excitedly held his bucket rag. Shi Jin: "Put that down...you don't need to learn it if you want to use it. This is technical work, and it's also heavy work. Let's say this pair of tracks is one ton smaller, and you have to smash them out one by one to clean them. Every armored soldier must learn, next to you Learn by watching." Xu Sanduo then stared at Shi Jin with his eyes wide open.Without Xu Sanduo's interference, it was much lighter, and the progress of the two of them was obviously accelerated.Xu Sanduo suddenly laughed dryly beside him, the two of them couldn't keep on laughing, so they could only stare at the smirking person.Xu Sanduo stopped laughing. Wu Liuyi asked puzzledly, "What do you mean? Are we funny?" Xu Sanduo continued to smirk: "It's not funny. This life has meaning." Wu Liuyi was almost driven mad by the torture: "Aha! It makes sense, but you can't do it." Xu Sanduo: "I can do it, I will do it." Shi Jin: "Okay, Xu Sanduo, you will replace me, and you will handle the brazing. Try it." Xu Sanduo: "It's meaningless to hold a drill, but it is meaningful to swing a hammer." Shi Jin: "Okay, you swing the hammer, and I will handle it." Wu Liuyi's laughter seemed to have been cut across the board. He used to do this kind of work and knew what it meant. Shi Jin had already put the sledgehammer into Xu Sanduo's hand, and he grabbed the steel rod tightly: "Xu Sanduo, come on! Try to see that there are not many capable people in this job class. If you can do this well, some people will look at you with admiration." Wu Liuyi was so flustered that he couldn't speak coherently, because Shi Jin's one sentence made Xu Sanduo eager to try: "I have... already seen it with admiration! I will handle it, and I will handle it! If you don't allow Sanduo, I beg you, you can continue to clean the car! You only wiped half of this car!" Shi Jin snatched the steel braze that Wu Liuyi snatched and half-stretched: "Everyone has a first time, think about your appearance when you swung the hammer for the first time." Wu Liuyi looked like he wanted to curse people, or let him live or die, I don’t care, but he couldn’t do it, when Xu Sanduo took a little effort to pick up the hammer, Wu Liuyi looked like he wanted to knock him unconscious Hammer snatched it.Xu Sanduo is gesturing, you can't tell whether he is gesturing a steel rod or Shi Jin's head, and he himself is not sure.The hammer was put down by Xu Sanduo when it was about to fall, and his hand shook violently. Shi Jin said softly: "Xu Sanduo, I'm waiting for you. Wait for this one time you didn't tell yourself that I can't do it, and then you know that you are actually very good. I heard that you built a road in Sanlian alone, That’s not something everyone can do.” Xu Sanduo was stunned, it was just the blame in Shi Jin's eyes that motivated him to lift the hammer up, and then he tried to believe that he could do it. Shi Jin taught Xu Sanduo the essentials: "There is only one point, the point you want to hit. Try, don't think about anything else except this." Xu Sanduo nodded nervously, then he hammered down erratically, the first hammer rubbed against the edge of the drill and landed on Shi Jin's hand, the pain erupted from his bones, Shi Jin fell to his knees, Put your hands between your legs. Wu Liuyi rushed over without saying a word, Xu Sanduo was bounced against the wall by him and fell to the ground again, Wu Liuyi grabbed him and pulled him halfway, without any hesitation, intending to greet him with a clenched fist . Shi Jin called out in time: "Come and help me!" Wu Liuyi paused, looking at Shi Jin's pale face from the pain.He let go of Xu Sanduo, and carefully helped Shi Jin up, he looked very depressed, even more depressed than Shi Jin. Shi Jin felt a little disappointed in the pain, he was stunned, and took a step towards Xu Sanduo.The latter still maintained the posture when he was about to be beaten by Wu Liuyi, covered his eyes with his hands, and collapsed on the ground. Shi Jin was a little confused: "Xu Sanduo, get up. It's no big deal, you get up." But Xu Sanduo remained motionless, giving the impression that he was talking in his sleep, completely in his own narrow world.Xu Sanduo said to himself: "It's a dream...everything will be fine when I wake up from sleep." Shi Jin looked at Wu Liuyi, Wu Liuyi opened his mouth, wanted to scold but didn't scold, he didn't even bother to contempt. Shi Jin: "I asked you to do it. It's my fault. I was too anxious. You get up first." Xu Sanduo was still hypnotizing himself: "Sleep, fall asleep." So Shi Jin's expression has gradually become the same as Wu Liuyi's, with the same contempt and deep disappointment added, if you see a person who is really like an ostrich, sticking his head into the ground to escape reality, you so what? Shi Jin: "I'm disappointed. I've never seen anyone like you...deceiving yourself and avoiding reality. It's not a big deal, is it worth it?...Xu Sanduo, I'm very disappointed." Xu Sanduo didn't move.Shi Jin smiled wryly. A person would smile like that when he found himself devoting all his energy to an unworthy thing. Shi Jin: "It's hard for me to do it, it's never been this hard... I think I'm doing it on my own." This time Shi Jin was dragged obediently by Wu Liuyi, and the two went to the infirmary. No one looked at Xu Sanduo again, tolerance finally passed its limit.Xu Sanduo stayed still for a while, finally removed the hand covering his eyes, and looked at the surrounding space, he really seemed to be dreaming.Then he dragged himself into the chariot. There were no lights inside, and it was a dark mass.Xu Sanduo curled up on the steel floor in the middle.Close and lock the rear hatch.For a person who can only think about his own thoughts, the fully enclosed armored hull that can resist shells is really the best place. The road surface of the modern parking lot is so clean that it can reflect the light of the street lamps, and also reflect the silhouette of a small group of tanks that have not been put into storage.An angry squad leader and a squad leader with complicated emotions passed by. Shi Jin stuffed his injured hand in his trouser pocket, trying his best to look relaxed and at ease. After leaving the door, Wu Liuyi realized that Shi Jin's face was so painful that his face changed color. Wu Liuyi grabbed Shi Jin's arm to check the injury, but Shi Jin shook him off and walked two steps away. Think about your own business. He looked at the open parking lot where the street lights had just come on, and the deep blue sky that had not yet set in darkness, tried his best to make himself feel relaxed, and sighed: "It should have been relaxed long ago." Wu Liuyi: "It's pretty easy." Shi Jin nodded eagerly for confirmation, but found that he had been subconsciously walking in the shadow of the night. The street lights cast a very long shadow of the sentinel in the parking lot, and he dared not go into the open area at all. Shi Jin sat down.Wu Liuyi stopped immediately and looked carefully: "Does it hurt?" Shi Jin: "Give me...give me a cigarette." Wu Liuyi took out the cigarette in surprise, and when he found that Shi Jin was receiving it with his left hand, he simply lit it and stuffed it into Shi Jin's mouth. Shi Jin took the first puff, and immediately coughed violently. All the words were broken into incoherent fragments: "People... soldiers... June 1, do I have a choice?" Wu Liuyi suddenly understood something, he took a deep breath, and then yelled at his monitor and best friend: "You're a demon! Are you crazy?" The cabin was supposed to be so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but a Liuying who was locked in the cabin by Xu Sanduo brought a gleam of light here.Xu Sanduo was still curled up, looking at the glimmer of light.The military orders and bugles sounded far away, as if in another world, so far away that they seemed to have nothing to do with him. The other day I discovered another use for the chariot, you can shut yourself in it and pretend there's no one else in the world but you, pretend you're dead.I no longer miss my father, my brother, my monitor, and my old horse.For people like me, even thinking about them creates a burden for them. I often think of that failed night later, and I think, if I hadn't come out, my life would have been different. The firefly finally fell to its death, it should have died a long time ago, but I don't know how far it flew before.Xu Sanduo was immersed in complete darkness.Then the chariot made a loud bang, it was kicked by someone outside, and then it was kicked hard again.Shi Jin's voice was outside the car, furious like never before: "Come out! Get out! Steel Qilian's car is not for you!" Xu Sanduo didn't move, nor did he plan to move.Shi Jin seemed to be pulling the hatch from the outside, but the hatch had already been locked by Xu Sanduo from the inside.But he didn't lock the top hatch, and Shi Jin outside jumped onto the roof, took two heavy steps on it, and jumped down heavily.The space was too small, so he simply stepped on Xu Sanduo, opened the rear hatch, and shouted at Xu Sanduo: "Get out! Pick up the guy! Do whatever I tell you to do!" Xu Sanduo was still curled up, Shi Jin jumped out, and then stretched out his left hand, he dragged Xu Sanduo out with his left hand. Xu Sanduo was blinded by the lights, Shi Jin pushed him violently, Xu Sanduo almost fell, and his head hit the car body with a loud noise.Then the sledgehammer was stuffed over by Shi Jin, Xu Sanduo caught it blankly. "Xu Sanduo, listen to me!" Xu Sanduo didn't seem to have heard the squad leader's voice so loud, so he stopped in fright. "Your hammer hurt me badly! I don't want to take this hammer in vain! When I was recruiting, my bastard wanted you, and you were the one who begged for nothing! What are you here for? To suck the fucking snot and run him Mom’s tears? Let me tell you the truth, I’m doing a good job in this class! I’m still pointing at it! I don’t want to go home and farm! Are you really going to drag me to death with all your heart?” This roar frightened Xu Sanduo. He looked at Shi Jin and finally shook his head. This shaking of the head made Shi Jin a little happier.He said: "Stop sniffing your nose, and don't wipe your tears! There are too many people wiping my tears, who should I wipe them with? I'm not your father, and I'm not used to your problems. You get nervous easily, and nervousness is a good thing. It can make you tense up and do things seriously. But when you are nervous, you run away. This soldier is a deserter. Sniffing your nose is synonymous with being a deserter. Remember, from now on, every time you sniff your nose, you will A man who gives up once or more than ten times cannot be a good man, and a soldier who gives up three times cannot be a soldier at all!" "Are you giving up?" Xu Sanduo shook his head. "Then bring the hammer." Xu Sanduo took the hammer and looked at Shi Jin who was holding the drill. "Don't let your father call you a son of a bitch." Shi Jin stared at Xu Sanduo and said. This sentence really shocked Xu Sanduo, and he swung the hammer.This time, he hit it right, and he felt confident all at once, but every time he hit it, it seemed to hit Wu Liuyi's heart, and it also seemed to hit Shi Jin's heart, slowly After a few blows, Xu Sanduo himself was so excited that he shed tears. At night, after the lights-out horn sounded, the lights of the company were all extinguished. The moonlight came in from the window, Xu Sanduo stared blankly at his upper bunk, and heard some slight noises.Shi Jin was obviously not asleep again.Xu Sanduo called softly: "Squad leader?...Squad leader?" After a while, Shi Jin let out a squeak and said, "I fell asleep." Xu Sanduo said, "You didn't fall asleep. Monitor, is it still hurting?" "It doesn't hurt anymore, Xu Sanduo, don't let people hear you. Go to sleep." "Squad leader, I must do a good job." "Don't talk about it! Go to sleep." But Xu Sanduo rested for a while, then spoke again, he said: "I can't sleep." Shi Jin said, "Then close your eyes and count the goats." Xu Sanduo said: "I don't have so many goats in my hometown. I count the tanks. One, two, three..." Xu Sanduo asked: "Squad leader, what are you counting?" Shi Jin said: "I count the soldiers, one soldier, two soldiers..." Xu Sanduo said: "Squad leader, you know a lot of soldiers, is there me among them?" "Of course there is you." In the darkness, Xu Sanduo smiled with satisfaction. Xu Sanduo: "I will work hard and not fall behind others. You will not leave next year." Shi Jin smiled bitterly silently: "Okay. You will be considerate of others." Xu Sanduo: "You are not someone else." Shi Jin stared blankly at the very close ceiling, this is really a very heavy friendship. "You can ask for a vacation tomorrow...to send the old horse...you are the last soldier he brought out, you are different from others." Xu Sanduo: "Do I have the face to see him?" Shi Jin: "Now you have face, you are a person who can consider others now. Go to sleep now." Xu Sanduo nodded, he closed his eyes, and from the lightly moving lips, he could tell that he was counting the tanks to fall asleep. That day, I suddenly found a goal for my life. My grades determine whether the monitor will stay or stay, and the future of the monitor is determined by me. This makes me feel... honored.This is the first meaning I found in Qilian. To be meaningful is to live well, and to live well is to be meaningful. In the morning, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were washing their faces and brushing their teeth in the water room, and Wu Liuyi called Xu Sanduo away.The two of them went to the aisle, walked past the two flags, and went straight to the end of the aisle, where there was no one there.As soon as Wu Liu stood still, he looked out the window, then turned around suddenly, Xu Sanduo dodged subconsciously. Wu Liuyi said angrily, "Xu Sanduo, don't you tell the squad leader about those things at night, okay?" "Is it making you sleep?" "You're killing him." "I know, you are doing it for my own good. If they find out, they must beat me up." Wu Liuyi glared at Xu Sanduo, the latter showed friendship clumsily, but the former really disdain to accept this kind of friendship. "Not for your own good. I hate you." Shi Jin came out of the water room with something, saw two people, and came over. "What are you doing?" Wu Liuyi: "What can I do with him?" Shi Jin smiled, and after what happened last night, he didn't plan to see Wu Liuyi's good face in the near future. Shi Jin stretched out something in his hand, it was an electric shaver. "Go see your squad leader, pay attention to the military appearance. Shave the little hair on your mouth, Xu Sanduo has grown a beard." Xu Sanduo took it with novelty, it was a bit of a life experience for a person who had never shaved. Wu Liuyi: "Damn it, calling a guy who hasn't grown all his hair has caused..." Xu Sanduo: "How to use it?" Shi Jin: "I'll teach you." Wu Liuyi couldn't finish his sentence, and the two of them stood there as if they didn't hear anything, and their faces became more and more ugly. He looked at Shi Jin who was teaching Xu Sanduo how to use the razor head to head, and walked away with a snort. Shi Jin sorted out his military appearance in the military appearance mirror. He was wearing ordinary uniform today, which was a rare outfit for the Seventh Company who had been on the training ground for a long time.His expression was a little sad. A muddy chariot was parked on the repair ground, and it was washed with a high-pressure faucet, and the spray was also full of neon lights.Xu Sanduo hurried past. He had already changed out of his camouflage and put on his normal clothes. This is what Shi Jin said was well-dressed.Shi Jin was on the other side of the playground, he was not the only one, there were many non-commissioned officers who had never appeared before, they didn't speak, but they had a tacit understanding, waiting in a certain company dormitory, and another one would come out to join them.When the number of people was close to a reinforced class, they walked towards the gate of the regiment. This was a strange queue, with so many non-commissioned officers from each company walking together, the queue that was pulled out at random was absolutely different from the usual training queue. Everyone is silent, sad, solemn. The head of the regiment, Wang Qingrui, watched the queue from his window. He Hongtao, the instructor of the third company, pinched off the cigarette in his hand and looked at the queue. A tractor was parked by the side of the road, and a few soldiers came down. It was the fifth squad from the wasteland, including Lao Ma, Lao Wei, Li Meng, and Xue Lin.Lao Ma's luggage was carried by others, and when he got off the car, he stared at the regiment headquarters compound in the distance in a daze. Xue Lin said, "Go in and have a look." The old horse turned around and walked away: "No, I've been on the grassland for a long time, and I'm not used to it." Li Meng's eyes were sharp: "That team of soldiers walked strangely." The old horse turned around and saw Shi Jin and his team approaching, without going out the gate, and consciously stood in a horizontal line inside the gate of the regiment.The old horse's expression became very strange, sad and sad, and suddenly he sniffed loudly. "Salute!" The queue was filled with the best of the vanguard companies. The uniform military salute was by no means comparable to that of the fifth class's sloppy military salute. Xue Lin asked: "What are you doing?" "It's all brought out by me... the soldiers I brought out." The old horse looked carefully at those faces again. He is really not a very good soldier. He doesn't look solemn at this moment, but he is very homely. .Then he sighed dispiritedly: "Let's go." He spit out two words lightly, it was goodbye to the team. Then turned around and left, the three looked around again and followed listlessly. Shi Jin and the others stood upright, and they sent a squad leader away in this way. The old horse said that he would not watch it.In the end, he turned around and really left, and the other three had no choice but to follow behind.When I got to the station, I saw Xu Sanduo. The old horse didn't make a sound, and ran over so excited that he hugged him tightly. Xu Sanduo was not used to it. The old horse was taken aback, and said with emotion: "Okay, okay, Xu Sanduo, you are still decent." Li Meng on the side went up and beat the old horse's back: "Relax, relax, don't get excited!" "Don't bother! They all still look like human beings." Lao Ma said and gave Li Meng a slap, "You're the only one who keeps messing with me!" "Didn't I liven up the atmosphere? Wasn't I just afraid of you...that?" "How could I do that? The company commander instructor is coming, I said don't come, I'm busy with you, I'll be in a hurry with whoever you come, my old horse is not a mother-in-law..." As the old horse said, he couldn't help but feel a little bit like that When he got up, his eye circles suddenly turned red. After seeing Xu Sanduo, Lao Ma was satisfied.He thought for a while, and suddenly shouted the password to them: "Stand at attention! Take a break! The whole class is here! Turn back! Don't look back!" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, acting inexplicably, and when they turned around, they saw that the old horse had already hid at the base of the wall and wiped away his tears. Everyone's eyes turned red.Li Meng was the first to wipe away tears. Only Xu Sanduo kept standing at attention, as if he didn't know what separation was. "Xu Sanduo, do you know that the squad leader is leaving?" Old Wei said. "I know, I'll see the monitor off." "Then why don't you cry?" Li Meng wiped her tears and said, "We veterans are all crying, but you don't cry. You fucking think you are promising? If you don't cry when you are so moved, you kid treats us all like women ?” Xu Sanduo said: "I promised the monitor not to cry." "When did I say that?" the old horse asked.While asking, he quietly wiped away tears. "I'm talking about the current squad leader, the squad leader of Class 7 and Class 3." Xue Lin wiped away tears: "Xu Sanduo, you can't be so fond of the new and dislike the old!" "Fart! You all show me!" The old horse pointed at Xu Sanduo, "You all show me this Xu Sanduo! Look at others, this is called success! This is called being a soldier! Especially when I'm talking about you , Li Meng, have you seen it?" The old horse seemed really excited. Xu Sanduo didn't know what to do, he said: "Squad leader, can I disband?" The old horse slapped his thigh and said: "Look, everyone, you don't relax when you talk about standing at attention, you can't lead soldiers like this , Just pack your backpack and go home! I told you that I am such a soldier, but you still don’t believe it! Now you see it? I told you earlier that not every unit is like our squad!” Li Meng said: "This kid is not trained to look like a human being now, I am willing to indulge in joys and sorrows, and cry for long songs, what's the matter?" The old horse ignored him, and just squeezed Xu Sanduo vigorously, as if he wanted to take something away from him when he left.He said: "San Duozi, you are on the right path. Your company is the most arrogant in the whole regiment, and you have a lot of strength now." Xu Sanduo said, "I don't have one?" Li Meng looked like he really wanted that, he said: "He is not sad, what did he come to give? He will regret it in the future." The old horse gave Li Meng a slap right away, and said, "Is there a command to step back in the password? I would be happy for him to send me off! I have been a soldier for five years, and when I left, I just wanted a real soldier to send me off!" "After finishing speaking, the old horse straightened his collar and saluted everyone with a standard military salute: "Xu Sanduo, disband! For several years, none of you have acted like a soldier to me. Before I leave, each of you Show me like a soldier! Straighten up! Don't pull noodles one by one!" On the platform, Li Meng wanted to sit on the ground by the way, but she kicked Xue Lin on her buttocks, and looked back at Lao Ma and Xu Sanduo, who were chatting gossipingly, but their figure was like that of a soldier, as if they had made up their minds Carry out the military style to the end.Li Meng had no choice but to stand upright, making the send-off more like a welcome guard of honor or something. The tone of the old horse became clear along with his body: "The car is coming soon, and the old horse is leaving. Before leaving, I thought about what to give you for a long time. Later, I thought I was poor and worthless, so I had to send you a word. Let me listen to those who are willing to listen." The old horse kept his waist upright. He looked at his soldiers with a serious and sad expression: "The first one is you, Xu Sanduo. You are the most surprising to me with so many soldiers. You are as stupid as an ape-man. It’s like a city, selfless like a child, down-to-earth like an unconscious stone. I envy you for being ignorant and carefree. I think you know something, but I’m afraid you don’t. Things don’t have this level of steadiness. You don’t know how good your steadiness is. With this level of steadiness, Li Meng’s 2 million-word novel should have been written... Xu Sanduo, you must continue to work in the army. People like you are needed in the army. You can definitely be a good soldier, but you still have to be a soldier in the first place. Call a soldier king. " Li Meng nodded and said, "Yes, you can be promoted to an official if you go down." But the old horse said: "Xu Sanduo wants to follow this path, so it is not Xu Sanduo. Xu Sanduo, the squad leader thinks about you the most. The squad leader thinks that you should not only be a good soldier, but also a good person. We are all ordinary people. I mean you don't just follow orders to get things done, you also have to figure it out." Xu Sanduo nodded as usual, he said monitor: "I remember." The old horse looked back at Old Wei: "Talk about Old Wei, I won't say anything about you. We are similar, except for being kind and straightforward, there is no other advantage. People who should live a good life should live a good life. The army is right. People live for a lifetime, some people only for a few years, and we are the ones behind. Xue Lin, I think you are a good candidate for business. You are so good at communicating with people. The fellow villagers can’t even understand Chinese. You can talk to people all night. Xue Lin scratched his head with a smile. He said that I was free. The old horse said don’t underestimate this. These things trained in the army can often last a lifetime. Who else? You are left, Li Meng." Li Meng blinked and listened, but the train pulled into the station. There was still some time, but the old horse thought about it, then picked up his backpack and left without looking back. "Hey, what do you mean you didn't mention me after you mentioned them?" Li Meng suddenly chased after him. Everyone suddenly felt that they couldn't just separate like this, so they chased after him, snatched the old horse's things, rushed to put them on the luggage rack, and then ran under the car window, continuing to say goodbye to the old horse. The train rattled and started to move. Lao Ma waved to his comrades outside the car window, his voice choked up: "Then I'm leaving." Only Li Meng stared at the old horse eagerly and said, "You owe me something, monitor." Lao Ma: "I'd better not say anything. When any of you leave again, you have to write to me." Li Meng was in a hurry, he said: "Squad leader, if you don't say anything, I'll curse you to have a baby without an ass hole." The old horse didn't care, he said: "I haven't met the elephant yet, I'm afraid of you? You want to hear that so much?" Li Meng said: "Nonsense, I've been in the same class for two years, why don't I want to know what you say to me?" The train picked up slowly. The old horse finally said: "I'll tell you, don't write it, I secretly read your novel, I don't know what it is, but I think it is really broken. Don't look at you You graduated from high school and are from a big city. I don’t think you understand what it’s like to be a soldier. Do you know what the thing you made up is called? I’m dating a shepherdess? The sheep on this grassland are wild-raised, and they don’t know Looking for someone to watch after grazing? Is it almost the same as the sheep girl? Do you think you can catch a monkey and wrap a piece of cloth and become a person?" Li Meng froze for a moment, and said, "My name is Shenghua, a yearning for a better life." The old horse said: "The sublimation of the donkey. I know that there are no women in the Chinese soldiers. If you have to drag a woman into it, it's fine. Why do you have to drag me into it?" Li Meng became anxious for a moment, and he said, "You're taking the right place, the old horse I wrote is your old horse? Besides, isn't the content of life still about men and women? I have to think about the readers!" The old horse said: "You are dazzled by the light bulb! Who said that life is just a matter of a man and a woman? Did you miss women 24 hours a day when you were born? Are you raised by your mother? Your mother listens You are going to be so angry. If you talk to a woman in this life, the woman must have a relationship with you? Then you are a public nuisance? I told you not to watch bad TV series. Haven’t you watched all of them now? ?” Li Meng followed the car for a while, and finally stopped. He said, "You poor monitor!" Unyielding, the old horse poked his head out of the window and said to Li Meng, "You poor soldier!" The old horse didn't seem to be enjoying himself after scolding, and shouted loudly at the others: "You guys are all cowards!" Everyone's mouths became a ball for a while. Everyone chased to the end of the platform and stopped. Facing the departing train, Li Meng yelled hoarsely: "I write as soon as I write! I am so mad at you!" After speaking, he turned around and suddenly fell on Xu Sanduo's body, crying. The four soldiers walked out of the station desolately, except for Xu Sanduo, the eyes of the three were swollen.They kept walking slowly until they reached the intersection leading to the grassland.Li Meng looked at Xu Sanduo listlessly, and said: "Xu Sanduo, we should break up now." Old Wei also looked at the road and said: "We still have a long way to go, four hours, when the time comes blacken." Then, the three of them left. Xu Sanduo looked at the road in the distance, looked at the three swaying soldiers, and slowly walked away. At this time, for the first time, I knew and felt what separation was.I'm at a loss, I feel like I've lost something, but I don't know what it is.After sending away the old horse, it seems that many other things are also being sent away at the same time. I vaguely know that I will not have much to do with Li Meng and the others in the future. When Xu Sanduo returned to the gate of the regiment again, he had to salute and show his ID.The sentinel obviously knew that he was a soldier here, so he didn't intend to look at the ID card, and waved him in.The treatment at this time is obviously different from that in the fifth class before.Xu Sanduo didn't feel too sad when he sent the old horse away.The old horse said that he thinks less, yes, less selfish, when he is lucky for himself, he will not be sad for others. The temporary parking place for vehicles was not far from the entrance. Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi pulled out the water hose and were washing a chariot.Xu Sanduo watched from the side, and he focused on Shi Jin. Shi Jin looked back at him and squeezed his eyes.Xu Sanduo smiled. Shi Jin said: "Xu Sanduo, do what you can do! Come here quickly, the car is about to take a bath! Just wait a while!" Xu Sanduo took the water dragon from Wu Liuyi, Wu Liuyi didn't intend to give him the water dragon properly, but threw it over: "Be careful this time." Xu Sanduo didn't say a word, he held onto it vigorously, and washed it off. The water on the parking lot turned into a river, and Shi Jin and the others were covering the brand-new car body with a tarp.Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi went to the bathhouse to take a bath, but they didn't let Xu Sanduo follow, because he didn't want Xu Sanduo to see his injured hand. 傍晚，史今和伍六一洗完澡回来，许三多正趴在桌上写东西。见到史今许三多说：“班长，今儿送老马我眼圈都没红，他们都抱着哭。” 史今一愣很奇怪。 许三多接着说：“我要好好当兵。”他语气坚定，仿佛那是世界上最最重要的事情。 史今不由得摇摇头：“你真是没有长大。对了，你那信明天再寄吧。马上开班务会。” 今天的班务会要选先进个人。 在乱糟糟的发言后，史今敲槌定音：“咱们班这月的先进个人选许三多，大家有什么意见？” 好像大家想都没有想到过，一个个神情错愕异常。 史今说：“我知道，他多半不能算咱们这班里最突出的，可他是咱们中间进步最快的。” 话音刚落伍六一就带头鼓起掌来。集体生活的人，掌声是很容易认同的，于是都马马虎虎地鼓起掌来。 许三多有点不知所措，忙站起来给大家敬礼。 “用不着这样。”伍六一掌握着奖励的尺度，“这不过是说，十二个人中间有十一个同意给你鼓励，这都是同班战友好说话，希望你在别人那也让我们说得过去。”
