Chapter 20 "Ruler" is dead

Feng Jiachang has a "mentor". Every time he comes back from the outside, "Little Buddha Face" always has a smirk on his face, and then asks him: "Brother, have you planted the 'little flag'?" He just smiled, just smiled.So, "Little Buddha's face" said seriously: "You must plant the 'Little Flag'! Only when you plant the 'Little Flag', she is yours." Insert a "small flag", this is a military term.It is also the favorite sentence of the secretaries in the military compound when joking. Only those who often read military maps understand the meaning of this sentence.But it has another meaning. This meaning is extended, and it is specifically said to soldiers who are in love. It is called "inserting" the position, which is in the essential sense-"occupation".But the "little flag" is not so easy to insert.You think, this "small flag" is not easy to plant.

The days passed like this.Feng Jiachang and Li Dongdong "talked" slowly.For a period of time, the temperature seemed to rise, and it rose very quickly; for another period, for unknown reasons, it suddenly dropped again.It's like fighting a war, advancing and retreating, advancing and retreating...a tug-of-war. One day, "Little Buddha's Face" suddenly said to him after drinking two or two ounces of wine: "I ask you a question, what is one plus one?" Feng Jiachang smiled and said, "My brother, I'm so stupid, just speak up if you have something to say."

Secretary Hou said: "Ge Laozi, let me tell you, in mathematics, one plus one equals two. In life, one plus one does not equal two." Feng Jiachang said, "How much is that?" "Little Buddha's face" had a smirk on his face, and said, "Brother, just put the 'little flag' on and you'll know." Feng Jiachang said: "You say it, you say it." "Little Buddha's face" crossed his legs and said, "Want to hear it?" Feng Jiachang said: "Brother, don't be a fool..." Secretary Hou said, "Do you think there is fairness in this world?" After saying that, he shook his head slowly, and then said, "Never. For example, the daughter of a Greek ship king was born a billionaire The heir of the mother... and some people, when they are born, they can't even wear pants... It is also the combination of a sperm and an egg. Why is she born with so much wealth and so many people worry about her? ?Why is someone born in a poor mountain valley? Is there any reason? No, I don’t think so. This is destiny. If you want to change your destiny, there is a sentence that must be kept in mind. This is a famous saying of Marx: Man is society The sum of relationships. Do you understand what that means?"

Feng Jiachang nodded: "Say it." Secretary Hou said: "Okay, let me tell you now, what is one plus one equals. For some people, one plus one equals at least ten!" Feng Jiachang smiled and said, "Brother, what you said is too mysterious, right?" "Little Buddha's face" said: "It's not mysterious at all. Do you know Liu Guangcan?" Feng Jiachang said: "Isn't it Staff Liu? He's only twenty-nine years old, and he's already a deputy regiment. He's young and promising..." At this time, "Little Buddha Face" suddenly smiled.He smiled and said: "It's true that young and promising, but do you know how he became a sub-team? Here, it's almost 'rocket speed'."

Feng Jiachang hurriedly said, "Do you have any background?" Secretary Hou said: "Of course there is a background. Did you know that he is in a relationship with the daughter of a chief executive above. The chief's daughter works in the local 869 Hospital. Do you know the 869 Hospital, which is in the eastern suburbs? The problem is not with the chief, who can't say anything. But behind this girl is a huge social system, which is almost an endless network. Her uncle is the deputy governor of a province. She Her aunt is a department-level cadre of a local provincial government agency. Her aunt’s husband is a head of a certain field force. Her uncle works in a certain department in Beijing. There is a head here, and I won’t say his name. Yes, I have also worked as the secretary of the head above... These people may not speak a word, but what they say is a sentence. Of course, Staff Liu is indeed young and promising. He was also a member of our secretary team , just because of such a background, no one can use him anymore, so he directly mentioned the sub-team. Although it is said that people are not based on relationships, there is a big difference between having relationships and not having relationships..." "Little Buddha's face" said so, and suddenly fell silent. He was silent for a while, and then said: "The staff officer Liu is in full bloom!"

Feng Jiachang said: "What is Staff Liu's greatest strength?" "Little Buddha's face" smiled and said, "Want to study again?" Feng Jiachang said bluntly: "Being favored by a lady from a great family has his strengths, right?" "Little Buddha Face" said: "He has a nickname, do you know it?" Feng Jiachang said: "I know. People call him 'ruler'. He is 1.8 meters tall, is he handsome?" Secretary Hou said: "This person has three strengths. One is handsome, and the other is 'sincerity'." Feng Jiachang leaned forward and asked, "Sincere?"

Secretary Hou said: "Sincere. Don't underestimate these two words. 'Sincere' is invincible. The third is that he has two languages." Feng Jiachang asked in surprise: "Two sets of languages?" "Little Buddha Face" nodded and said, "Two sets. For example, when you say 'tree', he says 'forest'. When you say 'forest', he says 'tree'." But , Just saying that, "Little Buddha's face" suddenly hesitated, his brows seemed to be condensed with some doubts, he said hesitantly: "But..." Feng Jiachang felt that there was something in his words, so he asked, "But what?"

But Secretary Hou shook his head and said repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing." Feng Jiachang continued: "I have another question, how do you know all this?" "Little Buddha's face" smiled but did not answer.After pausing for a while, under Feng Jiachang's gaze, he finally spoke. He said, "To tell you the truth, I lived in the same room with Liu Guangcan for three years..." Saying this, the "little Buddha's face" looks like Thinking of something, he suddenly laughed again, and after laughing, he said: "Brother, you are the same, luck is coming, even the mountains can't stop me, what I want to tell you is that the 'background' you are about to enter , by no means inferior to that Liu Guangcan. You must plant the 'little flag'!"

Feng Jiachang said, "What are you laughing at?" Secretary Hou said, "It's okay. Go to sleep." However, one morning, before dawn, the two of them suddenly received an order to rush to the 869 Hospital to deal with an "accident".What "accident", do not know.How to deal with it, I don't know.But an order is an order, and there is no doubt about it.So, the two asked for a car in the duty room of the military region, and rushed to the 869 Hospital in the eastern suburbs. 869 Hospital is the best military hospital in the local area, directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters.This hospital covers an area of ​​more than 70 acres, surrounded by green trees, with excellent equipment, and many medical equipment are imported from abroad.The management here is also very strict, and it has been rated as a model hospital in the military system many times, but it had an "accident".When the two of them came to the dean's room in a hurry, they saw the old dean sitting in the office with his head downcast, wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck.After the two explained their purpose, the dean didn't say anything, but stood up with difficulty and said, "Let's go and have a look."

In this way, they followed the dean to the door of the ward building. It was an iron fence door with a height of more than three meters. Above the lintel was an iron chrome-plated red-tasseled gun head.The dean pointed to the iron gate and said, "He got out from here. Ordinarily, nothing should have happened..." Secretary Hou asked, "Dean, who are you talking about...?" The dean said: "Staff Liu, Staff Liu Guangcan." Feng Jiachang then asked: "What happened to Staff Officer Liu?" The dean sighed and said, "At two o'clock in the middle of the night, he fell from here."

Both of them were taken aback!Feng Jiachang blurted out: "Then how could it be?" Staff Liu is a tall man of 1.8 meters, besides, he is a soldier, and he often plays on the parallel bars on the playground, jumping back and forth on the bars, very free and easy!The gate is only three meters high, so even if you drop it, there will be no problem? ! The dean glanced at him, then stretched out his finger, and said silently: "He's hung up, he's hanging there..." The two raised their heads and saw a piece of grass-green cloth hanging from a spearhead above the door lintel. The cloth was shaking slightly in the wind... The dean said, "That's right there." At this moment, Secretary Hou asked, "How is Staff Liu doing now?" The dean shook his head and said, "Come with me." So, they followed the dean to another intensive care unit.After entering the ward, the two of them froze immediately!Staff Liu was covered with tubes, with an oxygen mask on his face, standing there like a pile of meat... The room was terribly quiet, only the heart monitor was beeping, beeping... ringing!Next to his hospital bed, there was a pretty woman in white sitting.The woman's face was full of tears, as if she was stupid, she sat there without saying a word. After leaving the door of the ward, Secretary Hou asked in a low voice, "President, Staff Officer Liu..." The dean waved his hand and said sadly: "There is no hope, there is no hope. His cervical spine is broken, his lumbar spine is broken, and he can't stand up anymore. He can only be a..." In the following words, he did not say. Feng Jiachang walked a few steps, followed the dean again, and said in a low voice, "Dean, why did you say he opened that door at two o'clock in the middle of the night?" With such a question, the dean suddenly became angry!He shook his head of white hair, furious, and roared repeatedly: "You ask me? Who should I ask?! Shouldn't we have a system here? Can you say that the system harmed him?! He belongs to you , I was going to ask you?! Yes, at two o’clock in the middle of the night, why did he come to my place?! Well, it’s all right now..." The two returned to the intensive care unit again, hoping to get something from the pretty woman so that they could report truthfully to the superiors.However, when they opened the door, all they got were two words, two very cold words: "Get out!" On the way back, the two sat silently in the car without saying a word.After a long time, "Little Buddha Face" suddenly cursed with great emotion: "Fuck!—" Feng Jiachang said, "Is it that woman?" Secretary Hou said, "It's that door." Feng Jiachang said, "Door?" "The door." Secretary Hou nodded silently, and after a while, he said, "Fuck me, I thought there was a 'ruler'. But this 'ruler', if you don't have it, it's gone..." A few days later, following the instructions of the superior, Feng Jiachang made a special trip to Staff Liu's hometown and took Staff Liu's father into the army.It was a very remote mountain village. The old man said that his son had never been back since he joined the army.This is a very kind old man, the wrinkles on his face are like the patterns on the tiles, very old, very vicissitudes, and very old.In the car, he squatted most of the time, and he said he was used to squatting.Then he said: "Now my son is a member of the country, and even the branch secretary came to propose marriage in person..." Feng Jiachang felt very sad when he heard this. Then, there was a cruel moment.Feng Jiachang and Secretary Hou accompanied the old man to the 869 Hospital again, and walked into the intensive care unit.At the beginning, the old man stood there like a fool, without saying a word for a long time.After a long time, he slowly squatted down, just squatting on the edge of the bed, pulled out the pipe from his waist, and silently smoked for a while.Then he stood up unsteadily, leaned forward, stretched out his callused hand, and stroked his son's face bit by bit... The old man murmured, "It's white, this baby is white." Later, when the two helped the old man out of the ward, the old man murmured: "My son has bubbles on his mouth, and my heart is thirsty." However, as he was walking, the old man stopped suddenly, hesitating, and cautiously He asked calmly: "Comrade Hou, Comrade Feng, all right, why are you going through that door?" The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.No one can answer him, the question is unanswerable.At this time, the old man asked cautiously again: "My son...is he still a member of the country?" Secretary Hou replied, "Forget it." The old man said: "As long as you have breath?" Secretary Hou said: "As long as you have a tone." Finally, the old man sighed and said, "There is only one... from a single village." In the 869 Hospital, they never saw that pretty woman again.Some people say that she has been transferred.As for where it was transferred, no one can tell.She just walked away without a sound... At night, the two of them lay in bed, silently.It was very hot, and they couldn't fall asleep, so the two of them kept turning the "seed cakes" on the bed... After a while, "Little Buddha's face" sat up suddenly and said, "I have something to say, but I don't want to say it." I feel bad. For many years, everyone thought that Staff Officer Liu was from the city, but no one here knew that he was from the country. Really, he was very particular about his clothes. His shirts were always washed very white, snow white ...a tall man of 1.8 meters, wearing a snow-white shirt, so handsome! But, only I know, he is a countryman. Guess how I know? I lived in the same house with him for three years, only One thing he hasn't changed: he farts a lot. His farts smell like sweet potatoes. Really, he can't change that, he hasn't cleaned the shit out of the country yet..." Feng Jiachang sat up suddenly, and cursed viciously: "—I am your mother!" After scolding, his face was full of tears... The two looked at each other like cockfights, with hatred burning in their eyes... After a while, Secretary Hou also shed tears and said, "Brother, I have no other intentions. I miss Staff Officer Liu, I miss him!" After Feng Jiachang calmed down completely, he said in a calm tone: "You are also a fart for saying that." "Little Buddha's face" said: "What are you talking about?" Feng Jiachang said: "What exactly is 'one plus one' equal to? It's equal to a fucking negative number!" "Little Buddha's face" said: "You are wrong. This is a variable. Staff Liu has luck but no destiny. His "luck" can be said to be very good, but his "fate" is too bad Yes. Between chance and necessity, only hard work can lead to necessity. As for chance, there is no way to do it. Some things, you do, will have the possibility, if you do nothing, there is no possibility Brother, listen to me, 'one plus one' can indeed equal ten." Feng Jiachang was silent for a while, and said, "It's cruel." Secretary Hou glanced at him and said, "It's cruel."
