white dog swing 莫言 15804Words 2018-03-20
The island is really small, pitifully small.If it weren't for a team stationed on the island on a certain day in a certain year, and if a certain chief of the Pengcheng Fortress area hadn't numbered the island with Arabic numerals, then it wouldn't even have a name.The small island covers an area of ​​0.3 square kilometers. The island is full of barren grass, overgrown with miscellaneous trees, and flocks of seabirds on the trees.In the past two years, another animal has been added to the island—a domestic cat turned into a wild cat.The domestic cat's going to the island starts with Commander Feng's going to the island in the fortress area.In the spring of 1980, Commander Feng was transferred from the Great Gobi Desert in Xinjiang to the Pengcheng Fortress area. In order to familiarize himself with the situation, he boarded the landing craft of the shipping brigade and toured the islands in the area.He found fresh weeds and plenty of fresh water on 008 Island, so he suddenly came up with a wonderful idea. After returning to Pengcheng, he ordered the logistics department to buy 100 rabbits and 100 chicks, and sent them to 008 Island.Commander Feng ordered the garrison on the island to just let go of the chickens and rabbits and let them grow on their own. Anyway, it is surrounded by the sea and cannot run away. After a few years, 008 Island will be crowded with chickens and rabbits, and it will become a "natural chicken and rabbit farm". The lives of soldiers will be greatly improved.However, the imaginative Commander Feng made a big mistake: he only saw the weeds and fresh water on the island, but he didn't see groups of big rats hiding in the endless crevices of the rocks on the island. .These mice are as vicious and lawless as pirates. In a short period of time, they wiped out the 200 small animals that were sent to the island. Under the bed, protected by a cardboard box, did not escape the sharp teeth of the sea mouse.Liu Quanbao, a black and strong garrison soldier on the island, also had a whim when he returned to Jiaodong to visit his home. He asked relatives and friends, bought more than a dozen cats of different sizes, and put them on the island in cardboard boxes.He wanted to come up with a tactic of dropping one thing for one thing, and then implement Commander Feng's bold idea after eradicating all the rats on the island.Who knows, Liu Quanbao went through untold hardships, and was reprimanded several times by conductors and waiters on trains and ships, but he was not fined at all—in short, it was a cat that was finally transported from Shanghai Island.However, the cat didn't dare to fight against the sea mouse, instead, it worked hand in hand and climbed up the tree to steal the seabird's young. 008 The naive new soldier Su Koukou on the island, Jing naively wrote a naive letter to Commander Feng.He reported to Commander Feng the bankruptcy of the "Natural Chicken and Rabbit Farm" and the diversion of the house cat, and asked Commander Feng to send twenty lambs or two cows with white flowers on their bellies to the island.Su Koukou wrote at the end of the letter: Commander Feng, if this plan is realized, then when you go to the island next time, we can entertain you with milk and mutton buns.Commander Feng read the letter and didn't bother to deal with it before receiving an urgent notice to go to the military region for a meeting.The letter was placed casually on the desk. His daughter Feng Qiqi, who was studying at W City University, came back from her summer vacation and was worried that she would not be able to pass the long vacation in the small Pengcheng. When she saw Su Koukou's letter, she almost jumped for joy. Wake up, this high-achieving animal major student in the Department of Biology, a fanatical admirer of Darwin, immediately approached the chief of staff of the fortress area and explained the meaning of going to the island for investigation. The chief of staff hung up the phone to the shipping brigade, and the landing craft No. 008 Island was their first stop when they were going to guard the company on Ganquan Island, and they happened to bring Feng Qiqi with them.

The No. 03 landing craft stopped on the sea in front of the narrow beach of 008 Island, lowered the boat, and delivered half a month's supplies of the troops stationed on the island, half a month's worth of newspapers and letters, together with Feng Qiqi, to the beach. The captain of boat No. 03, with a dark face and white teeth, ran onto the beach in person, pulled aside Li Dan, the chief of the garrison on the island, the deputy squad leader, and solemnly confessed: "Brother, that is the daughter of Commander Feng. Feng Qiqi, I don't know which nerve is not normal. I want to go to the island to investigate what "survival competition" and "survival of the fittest" are. Damn! The chief of staff wants me to tell you, we must ensure her safety, and if she loses a hair, I will pluck you Ten mustaches!"

Li Dan glanced at Feng Qiqi who was standing on the beach and snapped the camera shutter to take pictures of the island, and asked, "What does she do?" "W City University majors in animals,—crazy girl, the No. 1 seed in the fortress compound. Be careful not to let her fall in love with you, it's good to fall in love with you—then you, a second-time bachelor who has been guarding the island for seven years, will have it." Backing. ——Brother, what did you do, you can’t even look after a wife?” "Okay, buddy, don't mention these disgusting things." Li Dan joined the army in the same year as the captain of the boat, and they are both from Beijing, so they don't hesitate to speak.

"You are also born to be a fool. If it were me, I would not agree to leave and let her drag you." The captain of the boat took out a cigarette, threw it to Li Dan, and took out a cigarette himself, "I heard that you didn't even The third party didn't even move a single hair? If it were me, I would beat him up first, and then sue him in court. Damn, I am standing guard for you on the island, and you are breaking up our family behind, isn't it? Still not breaking the law?" "Forget it, Mr. Captain, I don't have to worry about these things now, you amphibians are free, just write a few more articles for the moral court in the newspaper, and cheer for the soldiers. Now the most realistic The problem is, you have brought me trouble - there are only three crumbling houses on the island, which can be blown down by a typhoon, how do you ask me to arrange her to sleep, put her in the crevice of the big rock, and let poisonous snakes and wild cats eat her Lose?"

"It's up to you, anyway, when I handed her over to you, she didn't lack arms or legs." The boat captain dragged Li Dan to Feng Qiqi. "Comrade Feng Qiqi, this is Deputy Squad Leader Li, the chief of Island 008. He is in charge of your food, drink, housing and transportation. 'Female Darwin', I can't accompany you. I will pick you up from the island in half a month. I wish you a smooth inspection. .” The captain of the small boat handed over Feng Qiqi to Li Dan as if handing over a precious cultural relic, and then jumped into the small boat and rowed to the big boat.His No. 03 boat has to go to Ganquan Island.

008 Island is still 30 years away from Ganquan Island, and at this time, the sun in July is not far from the sea surface, and the sea water has been illuminated by the sun to a golden yellow, and flocks of seabirds are also shaking their wings dyed purple red. Crying and circling over the island.Although there are dozens of ferocious wild cats on this 008 island, they still inhabit, make nests and have children here. Feng Qiqi is a beautiful girl with a smooth and clean neck and long and elegant legs. At this moment, the girl with the school emblem of W City University in black on the bottom and a lace straw hat is standing on the golden beach of 008 Island , under scrutiny under the watchful eyes of the garrison across the island.The so-called island-wide garrison is actually no more than four soldiers: the fair-skinned deputy squad leader Li Dan, the shady Liu Quanbao, the black moustache Xiang Tian, ​​and the fuzzy Su Koukou.The focused gazes of the four soldiers made Feng Qiqi, who has always been famous for his aggressiveness and boldness in the Department of Biology of W University and the compound in the fortress area, feel a little uncomfortable.She had a slight fever on her face and a little panic in her heart.But she is a tiger girl after all. After all, she is a zoologist who admires Darwin the most and uses Darwin's theory of survival competition to explain human society many times. After taking a step, he smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? It seems that I am a female spy who climbed up from the sea."

"Welcome to visit the small island, Comrade Feng Qiqi." Li Dan said neither humble nor overbearing. "Feng—Qi—Qi—? What a beautiful name! You are the first woman to set foot on our 008 island, and you have brought light to our isolated island Robinsons." Xiang Tian, ​​with a moustache, glib say. "Nonsense! My child's mother lived on the island for more than two months last year, and even washed your stinky socks. Isn't she a woman?" Liu Quanbao, a man in Jiaodong, retorted angrily. "Her? Of course not. Women refer to those young and beautiful girls." Xiang Tian argued.

"Then you said, your mother is considered a man?" Liu Quanbao asked sullenly. "Old Liu, why are you swearing?" Xiang Tian said embarrassingly, blushing. "Haha, the paradoxist was defeated again by Zhuanghusun." Su Koukou clapped his hands and laughed. "Come on, come on, Su Koukou, go and dream of your cows! Commander Feng will send you two cows tomorrow." Xiang Tian mocked, "Why don't you let Commander Feng send you a daughter-in-law?" "Don't you believe me, Mr. Feng? Don't drink the milk after Commander Feng really brings the cow." Su Kouko said.

"Commander Feng will take care of your shit! His old man has long forgotten about 008 Island. I don't know where your letter is sleeping in the wastebasket." Xiang Tian wrinkled his nose contemptuously, "The last time Commander Feng came to the island , Those are the three fires for the new official to take office, for the purpose of getting famous in the newspapers, you didn’t see the tabloids in the military area that published ‘Commander Feng inspected the island, cared about the lives of soldiers, and solved the difficulties of soldiers’, bullshit!” "Xiangtian!" Li Dan shouted angrily, "Shut your mouth and carry this bag of potatoes to the kitchen."

"Deputy Commander, don't get angry. Why don't we talk about it?" He bent down and said, "Come on, Lao Liu, put the sack on my shoulders." Liu Quanbao and Su Koukou carried a sack full of potatoes onto Xiangtian's back, and Xiangtian walked away with a whimper. "Comrade Feng Qiqi, please don't be offended, this is how we live." Li Dan said to Feng Qiqi calmly. Feng Qiqi nodded, she looked up at Xiangtian who was walking crookedly in front of him carrying a heavy sack, feeling very complicated for a moment.She said to Su Koukou, "Xiao Su, as far as I know, Commander Feng read your letter and didn't throw it in the wastebasket."

"How do you know?" Su Koukou asked in surprise. "I am his daughter." "Ah?" Su Koukou and Liu Quanbao opened their eyes wide in astonishment. Li Dan's face was indifferent, and he took two bags of flour and walked towards the barracks. Li Dan led three soldiers and installed a bed board for Feng Qiqi in the storage room. 008 There are no entertaining bedding on the island. Li Dan took off his mosquito net, Lao Liu took out his mattress, Su Koukou took out his quilt, and Xiang Tian took out his cotton coat and tied it into a pillow. Finally, the bed of this young lady is made.Dinner was eaten in the soldiers' dormitory. Feng Qiqi generously took out two bags of beef jerky that he brought for the soldiers to eat, but only Xiangtian ate a few pieces.Lao Liu and Su Koukou looked at Li Dan's face, Li Dan didn't eat, and they didn't eat, which made Feng Qiqi very embarrassed.After dinner, Li Dan gave Feng Qiqi a flashlight, two candles, and a box of matches, took her to the storage room, turned around and left. The night on the island was cold and wet, and the waves roared against the rocks behind the house.Feng Qiqi sat under the dancing candle for a while, feeling lonely and bored, so she blew out the candle and pulled the quilt away to sleep.The damp bedding made her feel uncomfortable all over, and she couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.Between the roar of the waves, there was an intermittent rustling sound, like a snake crawling in the grass, like a steel wire trembling in the wind, like an elf whispering in the dark, Feng Qiqi didn't notice it. A little frightened, he rolled over and got out of bed, and lit the candle again.Suddenly there was a weird "squeak" sound from under the bed board. She turned on the flashlight and saw that she almost fainted from fright. It turned out that a big mouse was entangled by a black snake with thick arms.Feng Qiqi screamed and rushed out the door. The soldiers who lived next door ran to hear the sound. "Snake...snake..." Feng Qiqi stammered and pointed to the storage room.Li Dan walked in with a flashlight, took a photo of the bed, and said nonchalantly: "It's good that the snake wiped out the harm for us. Hey, didn't you come to the island to investigate the 'struggle for survival'? Start here Bar!" "Don't be afraid. Snakes don't take the initiative to attack people. I was scared to death when I first came here, but I didn't. Our deputy squad leader said that when they first came to the island, they would fight snakes when they saw snakes, and they killed the natural enemies of mice. Rats became rampant when they were all gone. Now, snakes are the key protected animals on our island." Su Koukou said. "I dare to sleep in the same bed as a snake." Xiang Tian said. Su Koukou said: "Old Xiang knows how to brag! If you are capable, take this black snake to the bed, and I will stand guard for you tonight." "Xiangtian, go get a shovel." The Li Dan faction went to the sky and smiled at Feng Qiqi. Some people think that the island is poetry besides music, but they don't know that there are also foul language and complaints on the island. "I study animals." "Do you study people? People are animals too." "Marx said that monkey anatomy is a key to human anatomy. I think the relationship between animals is also a key to understanding the relationship between humans." "That's the wrong analogy." "Huh? Have you ever studied logic?" "Just take out the money and go to the bookstore, and treat soldiers and college students equally." "The direction of your self-study now is..." "In front of." He took a shovel to the sky, shoveled out the snake that was entangled with the mouse, and threw it in the grass.Feng Qiqi, who was still in shock, tapped the flashlight and scanned every corner of the storage room, lest another snake would come out. The next morning, Feng Qiqi heard crackling sounds on the beach in a hazy state. At first she thought the soldiers were firing machine guns, so she quickly got up and took a look, ho!It turned out that four soldiers gathered together to set off firecrackers.A layer of colorful shreds of paper fell on the beach, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.Su Koukou's baby face was full of smiles. Standing on a sudden rock, he shouted loudly: "Mom, you gave birth to me at this moment seventeen years ago, and now I am standing in the sea to greet you!" Congratulations! Your son is seventeen years old and can stand guard for you. He is 1.62.5 meters tall and weighs—I don’t know, but he is fatter than when he first joined the army. Mom, I miss you a lot, deputy squad leader Say, stand on the rock and shout and you'll hear—mother—!” Feng Qiqi's heart trembled suddenly, she hurried back to the house to get a camera, and wanted to take a picture of Su Koukou standing on the reef calling her mother, but when she came back, Su Koukou had already jumped off the reef, facing She came over and said, "Comrade Feng, today is my birthday. The deputy monitor decided to have a holiday. The whole class will celebrate for me. Would you like to participate?" Su Koukou looked at her expectantly. "Yes, of course." Su Koukou stood on the reef and shouted sincerely, as if opening a window deep in Feng Qiqi's heart, from which a warm wind blew out, sending out a kind of euphemism. The music made her nose sore and uncomfortable.She decided to postpone her investigation plan, and to inspect these island guards first, especially the enigmatic deputy squad leader. Perhaps, this was much more meaningful than her original plan. "Vice squad leader, Comrade Feng will also attend my birthday celebration!" Su Kou Kou said happily to Li Dan.Li Dan smiled and nodded. At nine o'clock in the morning, the tide went out.On the beach, four island guards and Feng Qiqi sat in a circle. "Comrades, today is the seventeenth birthday of Comrade Xiao Su. He is basically a child, but he has spent a year on this small island far from the mainland, standing guard at night and patrolling during the day, all year round, wind, frost, rain and snow , is always so joyful and carefree, I propose, cheers to our little brother's 17th birthday!" Li Dan said with wet eyes, and raised the enamel cup filled with boiled water. "Cheers!" Four enamel cups and an iron bowl collided, and water splashed out. Everyone took a sip of boiled water, Su Koukou suggested: "Today is my birthday, everyone wants to make a show to celebrate my birthday, okay?" Everyone nodded in agreement. "For the first program, please ask the vice monitor to compose a poem for me." Su Kou Kou nodded. "Nonsense, how can I write poetry?" "Don't be modest, 'Deputy Commander', who doesn't know that you are a great poet, and your works are published twice in three days in the military newspaper." Xiang Tian said, chewing the chocolate brought by Feng Qiqi. "Okay." Li Dan put his arms around his knees, meditated for a moment, and said in a low voice: i love island, I love the wind on the island. Because it is always attached to the island, Even if you go to the mainland, And always come back in a hurry, Like a loyal island guard. "What kind of poem is this? It's just nonsense." Xiang Tiangao shouted, "Deputy Commander, here is an interesting poem about love." "This song is all about love," Li Dan said. "It's true, it's all about love. Isn't that sea breeze just like my old Liu? Even if he went to the mainland, he hurried back. Tears rolled in my child's mother's eyes, and the youngest son who had just learned to walk stabbed his little hands Called Dad, my heart at that time was all love! It was like the big waves submerging the reef, wow! Thousands of streams flowed down from the reef. I thought, why bother? I have been guarding the island for seven years, even I have done my son’s duty enough, it’s time to go back. But my child’s mother said, Haisheng’s father, just leave you, don’t forget about my mother, I can’t be hungry or cold, and the village takes good care of you. Do it there with peace of mind. If the leader doesn't drive you away, don't ask to go home yourself... Cough, I really deserve to be a woman from the old base of Jiaodong..." "Ho, ho, Lao Liu, today is to celebrate Koukou's birthday, why did you drag the mother out of the child again?" Xiang Tian said impatiently. "Tell me, tell me, Lao Liu, I'm willing to listen! Tell me how sister-in-law fell in love with you." Su Koukou said. "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I still wish you a birthday." "Then, Lao Liu, let's sing a song, a Shandong ditty 'Send Your Lover'." Su Koukou said. "Old Liu, do yourself a favor, don't sing, you don't need a knife to kill with your voice," Xiang Tian sarcastically said. "Old Liu, let's sing." Li Dan said. The simple and honest old Liu's face suddenly became solemn. He put his two big hands on his knees and wiped them back and forth, his face turned red from holding back, he ate for a long time, and then suddenly raised his head.His voice is mellow, and he actually sings very nicely: Send the lover to the gate, Sister gave Lang a pair of shoes, Thousands of stitches and one heart, Undefeated Lao Jiang, don't come back. Send the lover to the roadside, My sister took out two big foreign dollars, You take this piece to make money on the road, You take this piece to buy cigarettes. Over the years, Feng Qiqi has heard all kinds of singing performances, but the singing of those gorgeously dressed singers lacks the sincerity and charm contained in Lao Liu's singing. Lao Liu's singing awakened the depths of her heart The tenderness of a hidden woman who feels as if she is floating on the waves, and the singing is the waves that support her... "Old Liu, you sing so well..." Feng Qiqi raised his water glass and said, "I propose, to Xiaosu's 17th birthday, and to that sister of Old Liu, let's toast!" "cheers!" "It's your turn, Lao Xiang, what kind of program is there?" Su Kouko asked. "Me? I'm telling a joke. There's a magistrate celebrating his birthday." "Don't listen, don't listen, how many times have I said it." "Okay, let's talk about another one. A young man said to the girl: "If you want this or that, aren't you afraid that people will say you are a high-priced girl? The girl said: "Life is precious, but love is more expensive!"" "It's boring." Old Liu said. "I'll say one more thing, if you don't believe me, you will laugh." "Forget it, Lao Xiang." Su Koukou said, and glanced at Li Dan. Li Dan's face was gloomy, and two deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead. "Vice squad leader, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to touch your scar..." Xiang Tian murmured. "Deputy squad leader, such a bad woman is not worthy of nostalgia. It's just right that she left you. If you don't dislike my Jiaodong girl with a thick waist and a dark face, let my child's mother introduce one to you to ensure her chastity and reliability." "In that case, the deputy squad leader will not be able to return to Beijing." Xiang Tian said. "Why are you going back to Beijing? What's so good about Beijing? The streets are full of people, the cars are running back and forth, and I'm worried when I walk around. It's not as good as my Jiaodong. As the saying goes: Yantai apples, Laiyang pears, Jiaodong girls don't need to mention..." "Okay, brothers, here's to Xiaosu's 17th birthday!" Li Dan raised the enamel jar and gulped down half of the water. "Xiao Su, do I want to make a show for you too?" Feng Qiqi asked in a low voice. "Thank you, Comrade Feng, Lao Feng, Sister Feng, just tell me about the 'struggle for survival' and 'survival of the fittest'..." "All living things tend to increase at a high rate, so there is inevitably a struggle for survival. This kind of struggle is cruel and life-and-death, and the struggle between individuals of the same species is the most intense... and individuals of the same sex The struggle between the crocodiles is more intense, and the result is not that the failed competitor dies, but that it leaves few offspring. When a male crocodile wants to possess a female, it fights, clamors, and walks around... The male peacock uses his beautiful tail to be extremely small. The mind unfolds, the mate is attracted... In short, in animals with separate sexes, in most cases there is a struggle between the males for the possession of the female. The strongest male usually wins. Success depends on the male The special weapon, or defense method, or charm possessed by the opponent, a slight advantage will lead to victory... That is to say, in nature, this is a universal law...Of course, it may not apply to human society..." Feng Qiqi blushed explained.She suddenly felt that the theory she took as her creed in life had obvious limitations. If it was mechanically applied and deduced to people and these soldiers, there would be many unexplainable contradictions. "You've finally learned a little bit smarter, Comrade Feng Qiqi. Some men don't necessarily use his 'special weapons', 'defense methods' and 'charisma', and some women don't necessarily pay attention to these things. Humans are animals. But animals are not people." Li Dan said. The three soldiers looked at their deputy squad leader and the pale Feng Qiqi, as if they had fallen into ten miles of smoke.But at this time, the bright sun turned gray at some point, and large lead gray dark clouds rolled in from the southeast, and rows of smooth long clouds began to emerge on the foggy sea. The waves, the long waves seem to grow endlessly, chasing and chasing towards this small beach like a field ridge, and the birds on the sea hover lowly, screaming in panic. "Xiangtian, did you listen to the weather forecast this morning?" Li Dan asked. "No." The faces of the four soldiers all darkened.Right now is the typhoon season, and this series of long waves is the most dangerous signal. Before Feng Qiqi had time to conduct her "survival competition" investigation, she was locked up by Dafeng.Since she was a child, she traveled all over the world with her father who was a soldier, so she can be regarded as a girl who has seen the world.She has seen the white hair wind in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia and the yellow sand wind in the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang, but those winds are nothing compared to the wind in 008 Island.That morning, after long waves broke out at sea, the "Su Kou Kou Birthday Ceremony" broke up in a hurry (this birthday party itself was unlucky, Feng Qiqi thought to himself), Liu Quanbao was busy cooking, and Su Kou Kou went to the island Li Dan and Xiang Tian worked together to block the gaps in the house with cement.Feng Qiqi knew from Xiangtian's cursing that this row of simple houses without any windproof reinforcement measures was built by the first batch of soldiers stationed on the island in the early 1960s, and had not been renovated for decades. I even made several reports about the renovation of the 008 Island barracks, but there was no news. "Damn it, if I'm crushed to death by this dilapidated house in this strong wind, and my grievances persist, I'll go and kill the logistics chief first." Xiang Tian cursed.Li Dan glared at him, but he stopped talking. In the middle of the night, Feng Qiqi was awakened by an earth-shattering sound.Outside the house, it was as if thousands of guns were firing, and the pouring rain was like dense bullets strafing the roof tiles. The lightning bolts criss-crossed, and the thunderstorms with a strong burnt smell seemed to be on the roof.Feng Qiqi looked out through the glass window, and through bursts of dazzling electric light, she saw that the trees on the island were almost prostrate on the ground, and the flowing water on the tile eaves was rushing down like a swift waterfall, and the island became a desert. water World.She felt the house trembling and the beams creaking.She pulled the quilt over her head in fear, even though the quilt had a strong sweaty smell, she completely ignored it. God bless, I finally survived the night of fear.In the early morning of the next day, the torrential rain stopped, but the wind did not decrease. Feng Qiqi stood on the bed, looking at the violent sea.She can no longer tell which is water and which is sky, the sea and the sky become one, blending into one, turning into a pot of boiling water.The wolf-toothed reefs on the distant sea were no longer visible.This scene made Feng Qiqi shudder.A typhoon would take a slender girl into the ocean with little effort.Therefore, she could only wander in the dark storage room in fear.On the table are six big steamed buns made by Lao Liu himself, enough for her to eat for three days, two thermoses of boiling water are placed under the table, enough for her to drink for two days, and six cooked salted fishes are placed on a scrap newspaper, enough for her to eat for three days. She ate for half a month, so despite the dangerous situation, loneliness, loneliness, and fears in her heart, she couldn't die after all. The storm has been tossing for a day and two nights.In the morning, the wind died down.This sudden silence made Feng Qiqi even more anxious.Her young and fit body trembled involuntarily, like leaves trembling in the wind and rain.She didn't have the courage to open the door, however, the soldiers had already knocked on the door. "Old Feng, Sister Feng, are you still alive?" Su Kouko laughed out loud outside the door. Feng Qiqi didn't want to expose her weakness to others, so she hurriedly adjusted her clothes and had plastic surgery, held her breath, and opened the door calmly. "It surprised you." There seemed to be a spark in Li Dan's eyes, and he didn't know whether it was ridicule or concern. "I admired a magnificent oil painting." Feng Qiqi said lightly. "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Maybe, I will have a better life after Xiangtian." "Don't be too happy, sir, this is the eye of the typhoon." Liu Quanbao said to the sky. "The typhoon still has eyes?" the top student in the Department of Biology asked in amazement, knowing nothing about meteorology. No one came to explain the eye of the typhoon to her.Everyone ran to the high slope together, looking at the angry sea.Although the flow of the wind cannot be felt at this time, and the whistling of the wind cannot be heard in the ears, the sea water is still roaring restlessly.There seem to be countless dragons fighting in the middle of the sea, black waves as high as the ridge of the roof, crowded and colliding in the sea aimlessly, waves meeting waves, like a group of giants wrestling and competing.Those in front fell down, and those in the back stood up.The whole sea has become a mountain with strange peaks and strange rocks.Not a single bird in the sea and air.The seabird was hiding in the crevice of the rock, shivering with its neck shivered.The trees on the small island raised their bent waists slightly, as if they were ready to lie down at any time, and some fluffy chicks were thrown to the ground.At this time, Feng Qiqi suddenly remembered her father's idea of ​​a "natural chicken and rabbit farm". If the old man had been baptized by the storm on 008 Island, he would never have such a naive fantasy.Can the rabbit and the chicken withstand such intense wind and rain?Even if there are no mice on the island.It seems that Su Koukou's idea of ​​"cattle and sheep" may be feasible. Feng Qiqi couldn't help laughing as she thought about it. She had decided that she must report the situation here to the old man when she went back, and urged her father to send it to 008 Island and Su Koukou. A few sheep, a few cows... At this time, another strange natural scene opened the eyes of the future female scholar Feng Qiqi: I saw the thick and gloomy gray sky like a heavy curtain suddenly split open. , revealing a line of tile-blue sky, that line of clear sky is so dazzlingly blue that people dare not look up, like an eye in the sky, is this the so-called "eye of the sky"?who knows!Around the "eye of the sky" are three-dimensional clouds, towering layers upon layers, like a cliff.Feng Qiqi was stunned by this magnificent scene, her face was completely devoid of color.She took a sneak look at the four soldiers, and found that they were all panic-stricken. It seemed that this was the first time they had seen this "eyes open". "God bless, Amen!" Xiang Tian funnyly drew a sign of the cross on his chest. The "eyes of the sky" were quickly closed.The sky became dark again, and the clouds became lower and lower. On the sea not far away, the clouds and the waves were connected together. Large and large black clouds whirling rapidly seemed to pass through the waves. The clouds and the waves formed a The ring-shaped high wall is compressing inward step by step, crowded.The small island becomes the bottom of a well, the walls of which are sea water, and the vicious waves are like strange clouds with teeth and claws.The air is heavy, the air pressure drops lower and lower, and a kind of terror of imminent disaster makes the creatures on the island silent as if they were dead.Feng Qiqi saw two wet wild cats squatting in a crevice of a stone, with their long and hard beards pierced, their eyes glowing green, and they were motionless.In another stone crevice, dozens of seabirds crowded together desperately, with dozens of slender bird necks clustered together, as if an invisible big hand was pinching them... "I, let me tell you a joke. A geography teacher said...the moon is so big that tens of millions of people can live on it...a primary school student suddenly laughed, and the teacher asked: "What are you laughing at?" The student said: "Teacher, when the moon turns into a crescent, how crowded are the people on it!"..." After Xiang Tian grunted his tongue and told the joke, Feng Qiqi, Su Koukou, and Liu Quanbao all laughed.But that smile, like a faint ray of sunlight, disappeared in an instant.Only Li Dan laughed loudly, so brightly and sincerely: "Xiangtian, your joke is of high quality. After the typhoon is over, if you write it down and send it to the China Youth Daily Star Journal, it will definitely be published." "I learned that from there." Everyone couldn't help laughing again.Xiang Tian was uncharacteristically, sobbing as if he was about to cry: "Damn it, this ghostly place... this ghostly wind... If I can't die this time, I will pack up and go to the island...even if I go to the mainland to squat Prison is better than staying in this ghost place..." "Worry!" Liu Quanbao cursed contemptuously. "Brother, wipe away your tears and go to the kitchen to boil water and cook. Lao Liu, you go too. Xiao Koukou will go with me and give Feng Qiqi a room in our dormitory. Get closer, just in case. Let's go , go move the bed." Li Dan patted Xiang Tian on the shoulder, then turned to ask Feng Qiqi, "Do you agree?" "Thank you..." Feng Qiqi suddenly felt a heat choke his throat, and tears overflowed his eyes. "After the typhoon is over, let's investigate the biological chain of 008 Island. Our soldiers are also very interested in this." The usual cold and sarcastic expression on Li Dan's face disappeared, and he said sincerely. Feng Qiqi will never forget the delicate feelings Li Dan showed at this moment. The sincere face of this young man with a huge trauma in his heart is very touching. The young people split up and got busy.Li Dan and Su Koukou followed Feng Qiqi to the storage room to help Feng Qiqi move.Feng Qiqi put together the tooth jars, toothbrushes and other sundries, and then took off the small sunshade hat made of golden yellow straw and trimmed with lace on the brim of the playful hat from the wall. At this time, subconsciously, she felt There were two fiery eyes staring at her hand, she raised her head, and sure enough, she saw Li Dan's eyes that became complicated and unpredictable at that moment. "Do you like it?... This straw hat...my classmate queued up to buy it from a craft store when she returned to Beijing..." She said, "This kind of straw hat is the most fashionable for girls in Beijing now... If you like it, I will give it to you ..." Feng Qiqi spoke incoherently. "No, no, I don't like it." Li Dan shook his head, stepped forward, and removed the quilt. Feng Qiqi grabbed Su Koukou and asked, "Xiao Su, tell me, what's going on?" "The vice monitor's lover... No, that bad woman was attracted by someone with a lace straw hat... No, I can't tell..." Su Koukou said in a panic, "Deputy monitor, Is this going to lift the bed?" If a huge typhoon is a drama.Then, the rushing and chasing of waves as smooth as ridges on the sea is the prelude; the first shock wave of the storm is the extraordinary menarche; the depressing "eye of the typhoon" is a thrilling transition; It's a real orgasm!On the afternoon of the fifth day after Feng Qiqi went to the island, this climax unfolded overwhelmingly.At first, the five young people were talking and laughing together, but when the "eye of the typhoon" hurried past and the craziest first roar of the strong typhoon rushed to the island from the ocean, talking and laughing became impossible.Everyone kept their weapons and food by their side according to the arrangement in advance, and they were always ready to rush out when the house could not withstand the storm. Feng Qiqi was Liu Quanbao's key protection object. If something happened, Liu Quanbao would desperately protect her—this is Li Dan secretly explained the order to Liu Quanbao. For these simple houses on 008 Island, the biggest threat is not the wind, because it is built in a low-lying place sheltered from the wind, and behind it is a row of barrier-like reefs.Therefore, despite the continuous typhoons every year for decades, they have not been able to destroy it.But this time it was different.This time the typhoon caused a strong tsunami, and black waves as high as mountains flew over the reefs, like heavy bombs, smashing down on the house with the momentum of destroying everything.The five young people gathered together, looking at the four walls and the crumbling roof. In the wind and waves, they felt that the house was like a paper toy, which might collapse to the ground at any time.副班长李丹面有踌躇之色,他正在紧张思索,权衡着撤出房屋与留在屋里凭侥幸度过这场灾难的利弊。但这时,房子里的人听到一阵如群狼叫嗥、如鼓角齐鸣、如裂帛、如惊雷、如迪斯科滚石音乐般的巨响,房顶塌陷下来,海水灌进房子,窗玻璃进成无数碎片。 “快,带上武器冲出去!”李丹高喊着。在海的嘈杂吼声中,李丹的喊叫,微弱得就像蚊虫在遥远的地方嗡嗡嘤嘤。 刘全宝把冲锋枪甩上肩头,拉住吓得已浑身瘫软、双眼迷离的冯琦琦,一脚踢开房门,冲了出去,海水哗啦一声涌进屋来。向天什么也没顾上拿,空手从窗口跳了出去。这时,又一个巨大的浪头砸下来,海水混杂着房顶上的砖石瓦块落了下来。一根沉重的水泥预制梁打在正在把班用轻机枪抡上肩头的苏扣扣的腰上,苏扣扣扑倒在水里。房子的后墙经不起这连续的打击,像一个疲乏的老人一样缓缓地倒过来。李丹脸色铁青,一步冲上前去,用他那瘦削的肩头顶住了那堵墙壁。“快来救扣扣——!”他竭尽全力喊了一声。被风吹得紧贴石阶小路,拖着冯琦琦向高坡爬行的刘全宝,隐隐约约听到李丹的喊声,回头一看,只见面色惨白的向天跟在他的身后,李丹和苏扣扣没有出来。“向天,你妈的!”刘全宝把冯琦琦推到向天那里,喊道:“紧拉住她!”便团拢身子,一个就地十八滚滚回到已泡在海水中的房子里。他掀起水泥预制梁,把昏迷不醒的苏扣扣拖出来。这时,那堵危墙已经压弯了李丹瘦瘦的身躯。李丹的军帽已被海水冲走,头发零乱地粘在脸上。嘴唇上流出了血。手托着苏扣扣的刘全宝一步跨出房门,没及回头,就听到背后轰隆一声闷响,砸起的水花溅了几丈高…… “副班长——!”被风浪冲击得左摇右晃的刘全宝大叫一声,泪水就蒙住了双眼。 “副班长——!”双手紧紧地抓住一棵小树的冯琦琦和向天也撕肝裂胆地叫了一声。 刘全宝背着苏扣扣,像一只海豹一样,慢慢地往上爬,海水时而淹没他,时而又露出他。等他来到向天身边时,回头一看,他们的营房已无影无踪,只有在风浪喘息的间隙里,才可以看到坍在水里的房顶。冯琦琦两眼发直地盯着那吞没了李丹的地方,那里,有一个金黄色的圆点跳动了一下,又跳动了一下,……啊,是她的那顶漂亮的遮阳小草帽…… “副班长——!”刘全宝、冯琦琦、向天一齐喊叫。然而,回答他们的只有风浪、海水、雷鸣、电闪、鞭子一样的急雨,一排巨浪滚过,冯琦琦那顶曾使副班长李丹触景生情的花边草帽也消逝得无影无踪。 刘全宝背着苏扣扣,向天拉着冯琦琦,一点一点地向小岛中心的制高点爬去,那里,虽然他们的小岗楼早已被台风掀下大海,但岗楼后边的岩石上,有一个凹进去的石罅,也许能够安身。当他们挣扎到那里时,都已衣衫褴褛,遍身泥泞,刘全宝的两个膝盖血肉模糊,苏扣扣依然昏迷不醒…… 站在小岛的制高点上,三个年轻人再次认识了台风这个横行恣肆的恶魔的狰狞面目。大学生冯琦琦从牙缝里咝咝地向里吸着凉气,心脏像被攥住了的小鸟一样扑棱乱跳。她甚至无法从她的词汇仓库里挑出几个语词来形容这歇斯底里大发作的世界。连刘全宝这个七年的老海岛兵也是第一次面对面地见到这骇人的景象,那黑脸上爆起了一层鸡皮疙瘩。向天的小脸焦黄发灰,双目呆滞无光,看起来,他的心里也在刮台风,也许是在为那片刻的怯懦而后悔吧?那挺班用轻机枪,本来是应该由他负责带出的,副班长有明确的分工。可是,他不但扔下了轻机枪,连自己的半自动步枪也扔掉了。 这场台风的强烈程度确是罕见的。在他们眼前,海与天连在一起,浪花像节日的礼花在空中成片成片地进散、飞溅,急雨抽打着浪花,浪花与急雨交织在一起,无情地冲刷着这此刻更加显小、小得如一粒弹丸的小岛。天地之间都是灰色,这颜色随着怒潮的起落不时发生着变化,时而铁灰,时而深灰,时而又是拂晓前那种淡雅的银灰色。那风也是漫无方向地乱撞乱碰,像一条被网住了的鲨鱼,恨不得把天地间的一切撕咬得七零八落。 在这个小小的石罅里,竟然聚集了这么多的生物。湿毛贴着骨头、拖着长长的死蛇般的尾巴的野猫,惊吓得唧唧咕咕乱叫着的海鸟,这些本来是冤家对头的生物竟然也挤在一起,海鸟们甘愿冒着被野猫吞掉的危险而栖身石罅,这又令动物专业大学生冯琦琦那根对动物生存现象最敏感的神经向大脑中枢传递了几个信息,但这信息稍纵即逝,犹如敲打燧石时进出的火星。 向天发疯似的从刘全宝肩上摘下冲锋枪,一下子扣倒了快机,三十发子弹在几秒钟内喷吐出去,弹头打得石罅里火星飞进,乱石飞溅,有一块尖利的石片贴着冯琦琦的腮边飞出去,使她的脸上渗出了一层小血珠。十几只野猫死的死,伤的伤,活着的凄厉地叫着蹭蹭地窜出去,那些海鸟扑棱棱地飞出去,有的即刻就被狂风像卷着一片枯叶一样抛了出去,有的则又大着胆子,仄楞着翅膀飞回石罅。 “谁让你随便开枪!”刘全宝放下苏扣扣,踢了向天一脚,夺回冲锋枪骂道,“妈的,对着畜牲逞英雄!刚才你要不跳窗逃走,副班长能……” “我该死啊!”向天蹲在地上,双手狠命地撕扯着乱蓬蓬的头发,嘶哑着嗓子哭起来。 冯琦琦和刘全宝把苏扣扣安置在石罅的最里边。苏扣扣呼吸急促,两条眉毛在上上下下地跳动。看来他的伤很重。冯琦琦伸手摸摸他的脉搏,脉搏缓慢重浊。冯琦琦仔细端详着苏扣扣,忽然发现这个小兵十分漂亮,那小小的双角上翘的嘴巴,长长的睫毛,凸出的,光滑明净没有一丝皱纹的额头。她真想俯下脸去吻吻这个可爱的小弟弟,但毕竟男女有别,况且对方是个大兵。她不知道狂风还能刮多久,不知道这个小战士的命运如何,甚至还不知道自己的命运如何。她心里发起酸来,便紧紧地咬住嘴唇,把那哽咽之声强咽下来,泪水却汩汩地从她脸上流下,反正,水花时时飞溅过来,谁也分不清她脸上是泪水还是海水雨水的混合物。 四个年轻人从风暴海啸的魔掌中逃到石罅已经两个多小时。扣扣醒过来一次,但很快就昏睡过去。冯琦琦的那块在如此狼狈的迁徒中,竟然没有丢失而且还滴滴答答走个不停的罗马女表的时针刚刚指向六点,天地闻就拉开了无边无际的夜幕。石罅里漆黑无光,只有远处的海面上,近处的礁石上,因海水激烈振荡、海浪猛烈碰撞而使某些发光浮游生物和发光细菌放出一片片闪闪烁烁的绿色磷光。这是一个真正的饥寒交迫之夜,刘全宝把裤子、褂子全脱下来,盖在了苏扣扣身上,自己身上只穿着裤衩背心。冯琦琦穿着一件薄薄的无袖连衣裙,这种衣服只能遮体不能避寒,风雨袭来,冯琦琦感到像赤身跳进冰水之中,浑身麻木,仿佛连舌头也僵硬了。幸亏向天把自己的军衣脱下来披到她身上,才使她感到稍微好受了点。 半夜时分,雨停了。那风势也好像有所减弱,海洋深处那种震耳欲聋毫无间隔的喧嚣也变得有了节奏。这时,苏扣扣又一次醒过来了。 “副班长、副班长,机枪……”这是苏扣扣醒来的第一句话。 刘全宝、冯琦琦、向天百感交集地围拢过来。刘全宝握住了苏扣扣的一只手,向天握住了苏扣扣另一只手,冯琦琦双手摩挲着苏扣扣冰凉的下巴,三个人一时说不出话来。 “副班长,我们这是到哪儿啦?”苏扣扣挣扎着要坐起来,但是,被砸折了的脊椎一阵剧痛,使他不得不平躺下去。 “扣扣,我们是在岗楼后边的石罅里……”刘全宝低沉地说。 “副班长呢?” “副班长……还在营房里……” “副班长啊……我对不起你……扣扣,我也对不起你,都是因为我贪生怕死……”向天泣不成声地说。 苏扣扣嚎啕大哭起来,哭得完全像个小男孩,像个失去了兄长的小弟弟,冯琦琦痉挛的手指急剧地抚摸着苏扣扣的脸,泪水落到了自己的手上和苏扣扣的腮上。 以后的几个小时,谁也没有再说一句话。痛苦的沉默,沉默更增加了痛苦。黎明时分,风势进一步减弱,夜色渐渐消退,他们已经能彼此看清疲惫不堪的面孔和忧郁的目光。凌晨五点,阴霾的天空中,竟然钻出了大半个惨白的月亮,将它那寒冷的光辉洒在海面上,洒在小岛上。继而,又有几颗绿色的星星试试探探地从云层里露出来,惊恐不安地盯着薄雾缭绕动荡不安的海。 “副班长真的死了吗?他前几天不是还给我祝寿吗?他不是还念了一首诗吗……老刘,你不是要从胶东给他介绍个对象吗?……你们骗我,你们骗我……”苏扣扣又哭起来。 三个年轻人谁也不回答苏扣扣,各自的心里却都在想着那个面色白净,刚毅冷静的李丹。在苏扣扣断断续续的哭声中,传出一两声窒息般的抽泣,那是冯琦琦没有忍住的悲声。 “扣扣,别哭了,副班长牺牲了,但我们还要活下去,我们还要高高兴兴地守海岛。向天,你不是会讲笑话吗?来,给大家讲一个。”刘全宝笑着说。 “有一个地理老师对学生说:晚上……”向天说不下去了。 “冯琦琦同志,请您再给小扣扣讲讲'生存竞争'吧,讲讲什么'孔雀的羽毛'……” “我没有资格,我没有资格……是你们的行动……副班长粉碎了我的'最适者生存'……他说'人是动物,但动物不是人'……” “老刘……唱个送情郎吧……唱给副班长听……”苏扣扣满脸泪水,盯着刘全宝的眼睛说。 “我唱,我唱……”刘全宝坐直身子,沙哑着嗓子唱起来: 送情郎送到大道上, 妹妹两眼泪汪汪。 哥哥你一去多保重, 打完了老蒋快回家乡。 Its daybreak.东边的天海相接处,出现了一片血红色的朝霞,太阳慢慢爬出海面,像一张巨大的剪纸贴在东边天上。这已是台风停歇的第二天早晨,也是冯琦琦上岛的第六个早晨。昨天,副班长的遗体,他们找到了,丢失的武器,他们找到了,几口袋粘成一团的面粉和一麻袋土豆,他们也找到了,可是,他们没有火,没有了能把面粉和土豆变成熟食的火,饥饿在威胁着四个年轻人。冯琦琦学着战士们的样子,咔嚓咔嚓地啃了几个生土豆,肠胃就开始绞痛起来,疼得汗珠直冒,趴在沙滩上打滚。苏扣扣病情日见严重,他开始发高烧,说胡话,整日昏迷不醒了。一大早,他们就站在沙滩上向甘泉岛方向遥望,那里有他们的连部,有他们的连长指导员,有几艘可以来往于各岛之间的机帆船。他们从清晨等到中午,两眼发酸地盯着大海,海上平静无风,飘动着乳白色的轻烟。可是,没有船来,没有那熟悉的机帆船的影子。 “向天,走,再去找信号枪!”刘全宝对着向天怒吼一声,摇摇晃晃地朝着那片废墟走去。连里跟他们约定过,如有紧急情况,就在晚上打三颗红色信号弹,可是他们的信号枪,信号弹都不知被风浪卷到哪个角落里去了。 几个小时后,十指鲜血淋淋的刘全宝和向天又重新坐回到沙滩上。刘全宝捏着一块拳头大的湿面团,大口大口地吞下去,吞完了,他站起来,平静地对冯琦琦和向天说:“小冯,小向,情况是这样,你们都看到了。我们这几个人要撑到连里的船或大陆上的船来是不成问题的,可是这样,小扣子就完了。现在唯有一条路,游到甘泉岛去,让连里派船来急救。” “不行,到甘泉岛有三十涅,你们游不过去。”冯琦琦激动地说。 “我能游过去!”刘全宝脱下衣服摔在沙滩上,说:“小向,这两天我对你态度不好,你别见怪。我走后,你一定要照顾好小冯和扣扣……” 向天不说话,大口吞着生面团。 “我走了。”刘全宝向大海扑去。 “回来,老刘!”向天一把拉住刘全宝的胳膊,声泪俱下地说,“老刘,好大哥,扣扣受伤、副班长的死,都是我的过错造成的,你就把这个赎罪的机会留给我吧……” “我是党员,是老战士,身体比你好。”刘全宝甩开向天的手急步向大海走去。 “老刘!你回来!”向天追上刘全宝,死死地拽住他。刘全宝双眼血红,一拳把向天打倒在地,纵身跳进海水。 向天跑回到他们存放武器的地方,抓起枪对天连放三枪,尖利的枪声呼啸着从空中飞过。 刘全宝水淋淋地走上沙滩,目光灼灼地盯着向天逼过来:“混蛋,你打算干什么?” “老刘,你要是不把这次机会让给我,我,我就自杀!”向天扔掉枪,一步一步地向着海走去,海水没了他的脚踝,没了他的膝盖,没了他的胸腹,他忽地俯下身,双臂一挥一挥地渐渐消逝在那一层层洁白的浪花里…… “小向,注意保存体力!”刘全宝的嗓音低沉得像一个老人。 “小向……祝你成功……”冯琦琦低声地说,这声音只有她自己才听得到。 一年之后的一个阳光明媚的日子里,008岛中央那个石头砌成的馒头状陵墓前,站着四个人。 冯琦琦:李丹同志,我又来看你了。一年前那次008岛之行,使我的灵魂得到了净化。我从你身上,从你的战友身上,认识到了人生的真正意义。我抛掉了自己视为圣经的“社会达尔文主义”,写了入党申请书……你的那首《岛上的风》,我已经工笔誊抄在一个最美丽的笔记本的首页上,让我现在默诵一遍,来安慰你的英灵吧…… 刘全宝:副班长,俺老刘复员了,回家包了十亩地,日子过得挺好。眼下地里没活儿,就趁便来看看你。我回去后把你的事对你嫂子说了,她呀,泪蛋子噼里啪啦地流。她说,要是你不死,说啥也要把海生的小姨嫁给你。海生他小姨可是个俊姑娘,不像你嫂子傻大黑粗,可惜,没有等到你…… 苏扣扣:副班长,我亲爱的兄长。本来躺在这岛上的应该是我,可是,你却抢去了……我在要塞区医院住了三个月,治好了伤,冯司令把我留在司令部当公务员,可是我始终眷恋着008岛,眷恋着你。今年三月份,我陪着冯司令来看过你一次,“老头子”站在你面前,为你鞠了三个躬,我看见他眼睛里满是泪水…… 向天:副班长,“副司令”!我现在也是这岛上的“副司令”了。那场台风之后,我回过头去看了看自己走过来的脚印,都是那么七歪八扭的。我惭愧啊!副班长。聊以自慰的是,那天,我终于游上了甘泉岛,调来了机帆船,挽救了扣扣年轻的生命,减轻了我一一点罪孽…… “副班长,开饭了!”新建成的平顶钢筋水泥营房里,有一个穿着白工作服的战士在叫喊。四个年轻人缓缓地抬起头来。冯琦琦用朦胧的泪眼看了看那块黑色的大理石墓碑。那墓碑在她眼前渐渐化成一个白净的挂着几丝嘲讽之意的面孔……幻化成一个在海水中跳动的金黄色圆点……她把一顶金黄色的、俏皮的帽檐上镶着花边的小草帽轻轻地放在墓碑上。然后,掏出手绢擦擦眼睛,大步往下走去。她的耳边响起了羊羔咩咩的叫声,两头小牛犊追逐着从她眼前窜过,窜到用钢筋水泥筑成的牛棚里,它们的肚皮上都长着一团洁白的花。
