Chapter 22 watch my chessboard

He finally saw the demeanor of a general. When the helicopter landed on the valley field, the whole Qingnihe Farm was dumbfounded!In an instant, cars lined up the avenues of the farm one by one.Those who came to see him off included the heads of all levels of the local military division, as well as some local administrative leaders.Like sunflowers facing the sun, they all had bright smiles on their faces, carefully selected words in their mouths, and congratulated Deputy Chief of Staff Liao who was about to go to Beijing in various tones that suited their identities.It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the chief executive here—the head of Qingnihe Farm was already 20 meters away!He stood at the end of the farewell line, disheveled and bewildered, like an old chap squeezed in.

In other words, overnight, in Feng Jiachang's eyes, the old avatar changed!This is no longer the little old man squatting on a stone roller smoking a cigarette, this is a general.After receiving the notice, he asked the farm barber to shave his face and cut his hair, and specially changed into the woolen school uniform that had been kept under the box.For a moment, his face was radiant and his spirit was radiant, his body seemed to be blown up with air suddenly, straight and straight, and his eyes emitted a compelling light!He no longer looks at people, he hardly sees anyone anymore, he is just walking, walking with his head held high, as if there are thousands of troops in front of him!Facing the farewell queue, he just said "oh, oh" without saying anything.When he was about to board the plane, he only shook hands with two or three people, one was the commander of the local military division, the other was the political commissar... After that, he left all the leaders who came to see him off, and looked at Walk towards the farm manager standing at the end.The farm manager panicked immediately, he didn't know whether to go forward to shake hands or salute first, besides, there were so many chiefs lined up in front of him... Just as he was flustered and hesitating, the old man had already stood up in front of him.The old man looked at him with piercing eyes first, then stretched out his hand, straightened the slightly crooked brim of his hat, and said loudly, "Yes, Qingnihe is not bad!"

For a moment, the director was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he just said repeatedly: "I didn't take good care of the chief, I didn't take good care of..." Deputy Chief of Staff Liao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, very good." Feng Jiachang followed Deputy Chief of Staff Liao all the time. When the old man stepped onto the gangway of the plane, Feng Jiachang took a step forward. He wanted to help the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man threw him away.Then, he boarded the gangway step by step, turned around, squinted his eyes and said to him: "Xiao Feng, do you think I'm made of paper?"

When the helicopter's engine roared loudly, the old man had already reached the door of the cabin. At this moment, he turned around again, stood there proudly, and said loudly, "Xiao Feng, watch my chessboard!" This sudden change left a deep imprint on Feng Jiachang's heart.There were so many things that he couldn't think of, and the change in that instant was too great, too big for him to bear!Suddenly, a plane came, it was a plane!It landed on the valley field...the leaders of the large military region may not be able to move it.Feng Jiachang couldn't help sighing secretly, people are really the product of spirit and spirit!Once upon a time, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, who was always called "Old Liao" on the farm, suddenly became "mighty" in his eyes.how could be?He watched helplessly, and all of a sudden, that was really stalwart!That demeanor, that demeanor, every action, is really powerful! ...Also, the chiefs who came to see him off didn't come once when the old man came down.However, suddenly gathered in the valley field, when they lined up to salute the old man, he actually saw a trace of trembling in their eyes... The helicopter flew away, and the leaders at all levels had also dispersed, but Feng Jiachang still Immersed in great amazement.Unexpected, really unexpected, things have changed so much in less than two years!

Last night, at twelve o'clock, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the farm manager shouted loudly: "Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao!" In a hurry, Feng Jiachang got out of bed Jumping down, he opened the door and asked, "Captain, what's the matter?" However, the chief didn't look at him. The chief stood there solemnly, and first gave a military salute to Deputy Chief of Staff Liao who was lying on the bed. Then he said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, please go to the field department to answer the phone immediately...you go alone!" At this time, the old man was still lying on the bed calmly, and he asked: "Whose call?" After a while, he said: "I can't say." At this time, the old man got out of bed with his clothes on, and walked to the field department with the head of the field.

An hour later, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao returned.After receiving such a phone call, the old man seemed to have collapsed, his waist was bent even harder, and his face was covered with old wrinkles... When he entered the door, the old man slowly sat down on the bed, and even sucked Three cigarettes!After that, he paced around the room for a long time, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly. After a long time, he suddenly stopped and said silently: "My child, there is something that I didn't intend to tell you. Let you know It's no good... However, now that the matter is clear, it can be said."

Feng Jiachang was stunned because of those two words: child.He has been with Deputy Chief of Staff Liao for so long, and the old man has never called him that.However, suddenly, the old man's tone changed, and that tone became extremely kind. This was also the first time that the old man showed his affection in front of him.He knows that these two words are very important, it is an extraordinary trust!So, in the dark night, after spending a period of loving each other, the old man confessed to him. The old man said: "My problem is because of a letter, which is a letter of complaint. The letter involved seven old comrades, and it was written by seven generals to the above. The superior complained... the letter was brewed for a long time, and then it was transferred to me, and I was the last one to sign it. At that time, after reading the appeal materials, I didn't sleep all night. After thinking about it, I think Judging from the situation at that time, the time was not ripe, and there would be trouble, big trouble. So I made a decisive decision and burned the letter! However, before burning the letter, I memorized the letter , and memorized it verbatim...Since the letter was to be sent directly to the higher authorities, some testing had been done on the forwarding channel, so after the news spread, the higher authorities began to investigate...At that time, the letter, I have already burned it, and there is no more evidence, so they have no choice but to search me. As for the content of the letter, I recited it to them, and I recited it verbatim. It was just the content of some complaints. Nothing was found either... It turned out that I was responsible for all of this. Man, at some point, the responsibility must be taken."

When the old man said this, he suddenly laughed, shook his head, and shook his head again, and then he said: "Now the situation has changed, a big change! You will soon know. Some people are finished... Now, this unsent letter has become important, in a sense, it has become a cannonball!" Then the old man fell silent, his words stopped abruptly, followed by a long silence !After a long time, the old man said softly: "Child, the following words are spoken to you by an old man. The ancients said: If you are troubled, you will be ambiguous, and if you are worried, you will be uncertain. Remember, in time, there is no purity. The so-called purity is the purity in the chaos. In fact, regarding that letter, I missed a line. The first time, when explaining the problem, I missed it by accident. This second time, I did it on purpose I missed it." He said word by word: "I missed the 'header' of the letter..."

The old man said, "Do you know what 'raising your head' is?" Feng Jiachang said, "I know." Then, the old man said with emotion: "Sometimes, history is really a mess!" Deputy Chief of Staff Liao's words were very reserved, and Feng Jiachang half-understood... But he understood one thing, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao was talking to him.This is not an ordinary "heart-to-heart", this is treating him as the closest person!However, the old man didn't say what he wanted to hear most. As we talked, it was already midnight.When the oil in the lantern was about to boil dry, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao said, "Xiao Feng, I can't take you with me when I go to Beijing this time. I'm the only one up there. But I'll be back."

It wasn't until the next day, when the helicopter landed on the valley field with a rumble, that Feng Jiachang finally understood that the old man was "liberated"!His intuition told him that Deputy Chief of Staff Liao's visit to Beijing was of extraordinary significance, and he was likely to be reused.Then... Going down, Feng Jiachang didn't dare to think too much. Yes, here, as soon as Deputy Chief of Staff Liao was "liberated", the attitude of the whole Qingnihe Farm towards him was quite different.They yelled "Secretary Feng" one after another from top to bottom, very respectfully.The place to live has changed, and even the mosquito nets have been replaced with new ones.The field manager also specially arranged a "small stove" for him in the cafeteria, where he can eat whenever he wants, and he can order whatever he wants.Also overnight, they treated him almost as if they were gods!

However, three days later, things changed again.The director of the field suddenly informed him that Deputy Commander Liao was not coming back after taking a long-distance call from Beijing...and asked him to return immediately.The director said in a helpless tone, brother, I was going to send you off.Anyway, there was a broken Jeep in the field.However, according to Deputy Commander Liao's instructions, I can't send you off.The field director said, Deputy Commander Liao ordered you to return to the team on foot! All of a sudden, he was "Deputy Commander Liao", and he didn't come back anymore, just... But when the old man left, he said, watch my chessboard! The old man left by helicopter, but asked him to return on foot.This, this is too... Feng Jiachang seemed to have been hit by a sap, and he was immediately blindsided!More than 300 miles away, returning to the team on foot, what will this mean? ! At this time, the sky seemed to have collapsed, Feng Jiachang stood there dizzy, looking at the crop fields full of slopes, with blood gushing up from his throat!He only felt that his eyes were dark, and he forced himself to stand still, and still asked unwillingly: "Liao...Deputy Commander, what else did you say?" The director said: "I didn't say anything else. I just emphasized one point and returned to the team on foot." An order is an order.Since then, the more than three hundred miles were almost soaked in tears.When Feng Jiachang packed his backpack, walked out of the farm a hundred meters away, and stood under a tree, looking up at the sky, he couldn't help crying!Returning to the team... still walking? !But where is the "team"?Is it back to the office?Or go straight back to the company?What mistake did he make? !When the tiger was dozing off, there were places the eagle couldn't see... He really couldn't figure out what he did wrong.Six years, six years in the army, if he is allowed to return to the company at this time, then he will face demobilization!Thirty years of fame and fame, eight thousand miles of roads and moons... He scolded himself in his heart while weeping.He said, didn't you brag that you "think" with your feet, fuck, you just go, walk with your two poor legs, three hundred miles, just "measure" with your feet.who are you?You shit isn't it? !If you want to rejoin the team, you have to rejoin the team, and if you want to be demobilized, you have to be demobilized.Go back and honestly press your corbel!Let the whole village laugh at you! So, one day and two nights, he walked for a whole day and two nights!He didn't drink a drop of water, didn't eat a bite of food, and when the sun rose high again, he just walked into that city.At this time, he was completely hopeless, his mouth was dry, his body was covered in dust and sweat, and there were a series of blisters around his mouth!When he came to the gate of the military area, unexpectedly, two sentries saluted him at the same time!But he didn't return the gift, his eyes were full of hostility.Unexpectedly, at this moment, one of the sentries said to him enthusiastically: "Commander Feng, are you back?" He glared at the sentinel viciously, and said in his heart, bastard, you must have misunderstood someone.staff?Staff is a dick! Unexpectedly, when he walked back to the original dormitory step by step and saw Secretary Hou, Feng Jiachang was dumbfounded again. The "little Buddha face" saw him and punched him in the chest! "Little Buddha's face" said: "Ge Laozi, you are back? You bastard - treat, treat!" But Feng Jiachang didn't even lift his eyelids, he threw his backpack on the bed and said silently: " What kind of guest are you inviting?" "Little Buddha's face" said: "I have been working for so many years and I am the deputy camp, and you have only been out for more than a year, and you are the main camp. You still have no treats?!" Feng Jiachang shuddered all over, and blurted out, "Who?" "Little Buddha's face" said: "You. The order has been issued, and the staff officer of the battalion... Fuck, I brought back the officer's uniform for you!" At this time, Feng Jiachang fell to the ground like a pile of mud, unable to get up again... At this moment, his face was full of tears! That night, Feng Jiachang wore that brand new military uniform and invited "Little Buddha Face" to have a meal in a tavern outside the military area.After Erliang had finished drinking, for some reason, while drinking, "Little Buddha's face" cried, Feng Jiachang also cried, and both of them shed tears.Later, Secretary Hou murmured, "Brother, I have been a sub-battalion assistant for six years!..." After a while, "Little Buddha's Face" finally couldn't bear it and said, "Tell me?" Feng Jiachang said, "Say what?" "Tell me what you did?" Feng Jiachang was silent for a moment, then said, "...I don't know." After meeting for quite a while, "Little Buddha Face" just looked at him straightly without saying a word... Feng Jiachang said: "I really don't know." After a long time, "Little Buddha Face" said: "You have surpassed the teacher." Feng Jiachang said sincerely: "Brother, you will always be my teacher, really!" "Little Buddha's face" said: "...someone called from Beijing and insisted on mentioning you as the main battalion. Right? But the other side said that you have a good overall quality and insisted on promoting the main camp... You said you didn't know?!" Feng Jiachang sat there quietly, but his heart was overwhelmed!He said silently: "... When he left, he didn't say a word. Later, he gave me four words: return to the team on foot." "Little Buddha's face" asked: "Who?" Feng Jiachang said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Liao." "Little Buddha's face" said: "It's Deputy Commander Liao." Feng Jiachang said: "Yes... that is a good old man." "Little Buddha's face" said: "Tell me, what happened?" Feng Jiachang said, "You really want to know?" "Little Buddha's face" said: "Fuck! Lao Tzu's..." Feng Jiachang said: "That's really a good old man." "Little Buddha Face" said: "Fuck!..." Feng Jiachang said, "It's still yours to say." "Little Buddha's face" said: "What did I say?" Feng Jiachang said: "Tell me, the military book says: The way to use soldiers is to attack the heart first." "Little Buddha's face" said: "Be specific." Feng Jiachang said: "Just two words: memories." "Little Buddha's face" asked puzzledly, "Remember what?" Feng Jiachang said: "Reminiscing about the past... recalling is the best way to communicate emotions." "Little Buddha's face" was silent for a long time, and repeated again: "You have surpassed the teacher."
