Chapter 54 Chapter Fourteen (2)

The soldiers listened quietly, but no one showed a look of fear. Wu Mantun was a little panicked. What kind of pre-war mobilization is this? Not only can it not boost morale, but it will cause fear to the soldiers. Going on, he hurriedly said: "Company commander, shall we formally mobilize again at night?" Zhang Haiyang tugged Wu Mantun's sleeve quietly to signal him to listen, but Wu Mantun fell silent. Ning Wei added: "If the shrapnel hits the carotid artery, it will be like turning on the faucet of water in my neck..." Zhong Yuemin continued: "If a bullet or shrapnel just hits your carotid artery, then under the strong pressure of 83.3 milliliters of blood pumped by the heart per second, the blood can be ejected to a place ten meters away. Here, the blood loss will reach 1000 ml. A person who was alive and kicking a few seconds ago will be on the verge of death. At this time, your skin will turn blue and yellow, and your muscles will relax, including the sphincter. The body temperature cools rapidly, and the originally healthy and elastic human body feels like meat on the chopping board..."

Zhao Dongsheng, the leader of the fifth class, was a little annoyed. He felt that the company commander was scaring the children, but he made a mistake. This is not a kindergarten, and the brothers are not preschool children. Who are you scaring?You, Zhong Yuemin, personally selected this task force. If you don't trust us, you can find someone else.He felt compelled to remind the company commander that he was dealing with a bunch of dudes, not preschoolers or pussies.Zhao Dongsheng coughed impatiently: "Commander, I have something to say and I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"speak!" "You don't seem to be a childcare worker in a kindergarten, nor a party representative of a women's army company, and we are neither preschoolers nor girls. Have you made a mistake? Company commander, I want to draw your attention, are you You're dealing with a bunch of dudes, and you're supposed to speak to your brethren as you speak to dudes." "Oh, I'm dealing with a bunch of dudes? Thank you for reminding me, I hadn't remembered..." "What are you talking about..." Class 5 monitor Zhao Dongsheng muttered dissatisfiedly.

Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Okay, I know what death is all about, so I won't take vaccinations anymore, what I want to tell everyone is that we are all soldiers, when we put on this uniform, we should do Good mental preparation for dying on the battlefield one day in the future. My pre-war mobilization is not reasonable. I just want to remind everyone from another angle that this is the spirit of the contract. When we wear military uniforms, it is equivalent to signing a contract with the country. Contract. That is to say, if the world is peaceful, the country will support you. If there is something wrong with the country, you have to shed blood and sacrifice as a matter of course. This is your responsibility and obligation, and it is also a contract that you must fulfill. Those who evade the contract will not care For what reason, even if he is not a liar, he is still a person who lacks credibility. A person can make a living in many ways, but he must never regard being a soldier as a means of making a living. The soldier is not a profession for earning a living, do you understand?"

"Understood!" the task force shouted. Zhong Yuemin laughed, and changed the subject: "This reminds me of another topic, does a person have a soul, and if so, does the soul really look like what is written in the book, and report to the King of Hell? Okay, Let's take him as real, brothers, if I win the lottery, I will set up a task force, and if anyone is willing to sign up, tell me later, I will take the brothers to visit the Hall of Yama, and we will use The submachine gun grenade took him to Yama..." The task force members yelled "Aww" and applauded wildly: "Company commander, no problem, who have we been afraid of in a row? Take him away..."

The fifth squad leader, Zhao Dongsheng, said: "Company commander, your pre-war mobilization is really fucking uplifting. If I win the lottery, I will go with you, and I will lead the vanguard team..." Zhang Haiyang also applauded and said: "Count me in, and bring a bazooka, 82wu, and the king of Hades still has a tank. This must be fun." Ning Wei shouted sincerely: "Company Commander, I admire you, you are the number one desperado in the world." Wu Mantun hurriedly stopped and said, "Ning Wei, what are you talking about? What desperadoes? We are revolutionary soldiers..."

Originally, the pre-war mobilization was the responsibility of the instructor Wu Mantun. Wu Mantun was carefully preparing the content of the mobilization, but Zhong Yuemin dismissed it with a few words. Have a meal together. In the company headquarters, Zhong Yuemin was cleaning his pistol, Zhang Haiyang was adjusting his compass, and Wu Mantun put a change of military uniform into his rucksack. Zhong Yuemin said: "Why are you still carrying clothes? You are not going on vacation. I think the three of us only put detonating cords in our backpacks. We can take as much as we can."

Wu Mantun took out the military uniform again. Zhang Haiyang asked: "Mantun, how is your family doing?" "It's much better. My brothers and sisters are all grown up and can help the family. I send money home every month. The house I just built recently is a six-room tile-roofed house with one brick to the top. There are no houses like this in the whole village. Not many." Zhong Yuemin said: "I still have two military uniforms, and I don't need the military overcoat for the time being. You can send it home." "I brought my coat too, you send it back together. Zhang Haiyang threw the military coat on Wu Mantun's bed."

Wu Mantun refused: "No, the brothers have helped me enough these years. My family is today thanks to the help of the brothers. My whole family feels sorry for it, and I appreciate it." Zhong Yuemin said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so stupid that you don't treat us as brothers? Just take it if you tell me, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Zhang Haiyang also said: "Mantun, why do you look like a woman? Let me tell you, Yuemin and I only deal with men, and we look down on people who are neither male nor female." Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, "That's right, if you're really a pretty girl, we brothers won't be bored all the way, but you're an old man, so you have to look like a old man."

"Fuck, are you guys making fun of me?" After wiping the pistol, Zhong Yuemin felt for cigarettes in his pocket, but he couldn't find any cigarettes after groping for a long time. He asked Zhang Haiyang for cigarettes, but Zhang Haiyang had no more cigarettes. The two decided to go to the military service agency to buy cigarettes. The Ministry of Defense found that Wu Mantun was hanging pieces of freshly washed military uniforms on the rope in the yard.When the two saw Wu Mantun washing their military uniforms again, their faces changed color. Zhong Yuemin complained: "Manhun, didn't we agree a long time ago? Everyone washes their clothes, why did you wash them again?"

Zhang Haiyang also reprimanded: "Yes, isn't it when we were recruits? We are no longer afraid of doing laundry. Didn't you slap us in the face?" Wu Mantun's eyes were red: "Brothers, please let me wash your clothes again. I feel better. I think of the days when we were recruits and the brothers got along. The benefits that the brothers have done to me Wu Mantun, I will never finish in my life. I am content in this life. With you comrades in arms, we are a life-long friendship. I don’t know who will come back in this operation. I’m afraid it will be I won’t be able to wash it even if I want to wash it later.” Wu Mantun choked up. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang walked forward silently, and the three started washing the clothes together. Zhong Yuemin complimented the waitress of the "Xiang Man Lou" restaurant with a smile all over his face: "Miss, do you still know me? Don't you know me? Think about it carefully...do you remember? That's right, last month , a group of soldiers came to eat, and the most handsome among them... yes, that's me. Wait... what's going on? It's been less than a month, why don't I know you? It's really getting longer The more beautiful you are, I said why the business of Xiangmanlou Restaurant is getting more and more popular. After a long time of trouble, the customers all come to you, Miss, let me introduce my experience, what do I eat to grow up like you?" Zhang Haiyang smiled and said to Wu Mantun: "This is Yuemin's old problem. When he sees a beautiful girl, he will be seduced. When he was young, he would recognize his eldest sister. When he was a little older, he would change his attitude. At this time, he would recognize his younger sister. Now, I think it's time for him to recommend himself as a godfather." Wu Mantun said: "Yuemin, don't scare the little girl." Zhong Yuemin took out a stack of banknotes and slapped them on the table, and said to the waiter, "Two Chunghwa cigarettes, two bottles of Moutai, you can spend the rest of the money." " Wu Mantun stood up like his ass was on fire and shouted: "Yuemin, are you not doing enough? This is your two months' salary. Zhang Haiyang smiled and said, "Is it awkward not to spend this little money?" Zhong Yuemin said: "I don't know which celebrity said that when you die, spend the last dollar in your pocket. This is very reasonable. I am a person who loves money. Money is always on the mind, so , I don't want to leave something that makes me worry." Zhang Haiyang praised: The typical bachelor spirit is worth emulating for all bachelors in the world. Wu Mantun said anxiously: "That's you bachelors who have no burden. I can't learn from you. I have a big family there." Zhang Haiyang didn't care about this, he encouraged: "It seems that we have to fulfill you, so as not to worry about your worries. This is too painful, and we can't bear to watch it. We will help with this." Wu Mantun suggested: "I see that you have been so busy all day that you don't even have time to write anything. You should hurry up and write when you go back at night." Both Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang understood that Wu Mantun was referring to writing a will, which was a rule for soldiers before going out for an expedition. Zhong Yuemin said disapprovingly: "What is Fei doing? There is nothing to write about, and he has no wife and children. He is a bachelor." benefit. " Zhang Haiyang thought for a while and agreed: "Chinese soldiers have been paying attention to horse leather shrouds since ancient times. If they don't write about it, I will definitely not write about it." Wu Mantun said sadly: "But I have to write, I have already finished writing this afternoon." Zhong Yuemin looked at Wu Mandun silently, without saying anything, but he felt an ominous premonition in his heart... The beautiful waitress was really unambiguous, she didn't care whether the three of them could eat or not, since Zhong Yuemin asked her to serve the food with the money, of course she couldn't refuse this request, after a while, two Chinese cigarettes and Two bottles of Moutai were placed on the table, followed by expensive dishes such as steamed mandarin fish, oil-stuffed prawns, braised sea cucumber, etc. When the dishes were ready, the three of them had already finished a bottle of Moutai. Zhang Haiyang picked up his wine glass and proposed: "The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Come and drink." Zhong Yuemin said disdainfully: "Putting airs, that Jing Ke looked like a great hero at the edge of Yishui. Legs, professional assassins should have some real skills, or they are selling dog skin plasters." Zhang Haiyang said: "That's right, we can't learn from Jing Ke, we have to do our job better." Wu Mantun got high while drinking, he suddenly stood up with a sense of pride, and announced inarticulately: "Come on, brothers, do... After this drink, I will cook this meal... To be the host, mother, no... just." Zhang Haiyang was also a little drunk, he pushed Wu Mantun and said: "This meal is mine, Mantun, what are you talking about? Send the money back home, and don't waste money on my brothers. " Wu Mantun got angry: "I have to be a goddamn...don't do it. If you look down on me, just...just...say, I beat you up." Zhang Haiyang was furious: "Hit me? You are a fucking drunk and courageous, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue? There is no one who dares to beat me Zhang Haiyang yet." Only Zhong Yuemin was still sober, he drank his glass and said: "I said, brothers, I have something to ask." Zhang Haiyang and Wu Mantun quieted down. "In case I am seriously injured and unable to kill myself, I hope you can help me." Zhang Haiyang remained silent. Wu Mantun cried: "Brother, why do you say this? Even if you are injured, I will carry you back, how can I leave you? I can't do that kind of thing, I can't do it." Zhong Yuemin said dissatisfiedly: "How did you become an instructor? You don't even understand the rules of our scouts? This operation is more dangerous than reconnaissance behind enemy lines. It is difficult to walk empty-handed in the jungle. If you carry one or two more people on your back, everyone You may not be able to get out, you have to follow the rules." Wu Mantun shouted emotionally: "Don't talk to me about the rules. Who doesn't know the rules? But if you really catch up, I won't let you go. We are comrades-in-arms and brothers. We must live together and die together." Zhong Yuemin looked at Wu Mandun coldly and said, "Mandun, then you should find a way to change your job and keep your wife and children on the kang. You are not suitable for a soldier." Wu Mantun cried and remained silent. Zhang Haiyang also shed tears. He drank the wine in his hand and said resolutely: "Yuemin, I promise you that as long as you need it, I will go to the military court to help you. On the other hand, if I need Help, you can't push either." Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Okay, it's a deal, it belongs to the man, drink up this glass of wine." Wu Mantun hesitated for a moment, then resolutely picked up the wine glass. Zhong Yuemin raised his glass and murmured: "... Sighing that the time is passing, the fame has not been established, the scholar is getting old, and the opportunity will come. Brothers, cheers!" The three officers drank the wine in their hands. At the end of 1977, Zheng Tong was admitted to the History Department of Peking University with absolutely high marks.Jiang Biyun's grades were also good, and she was admitted to the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University as she wished. In 1981, Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun successfully graduated after four years of university life. Zheng Tong was assigned to the History Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences, and Jiang Biyun was assigned to a middle school as a language teacher. After Zheng Tong reported to the unit, the personnel department told him as usual that the newly assigned college students had a one-week holiday after registration, so they could deal with their personal affairs.Zheng Tong intends to use this vacation to have a good time with Jiang Biyun. In the past few years, the two have been away from each other often, and they are not in the same school. It is difficult to spend time together. Zheng Tong finds it really difficult. He once had a long-distance call with Zhong Yuemin. Tong complained on the phone, saying that he had become a monk, living a life of chastity and asceticism.Zhong Yuemin on the other side of the phone was furious when he heard it: "You are still a monk, so what the hell am I? I'm about to become a fucking neutral person. I can't even see a sow in the barracks, let alone a woman. Grandson, you are content." Zheng Tong told his sister: "Let's all check our watches. It's nine o'clock in the morning. From now until twenty-two o'clock in the evening, even if someone dies at home, they are not allowed to come back. Do you hear me?" The younger sister Zheng Lan sarcastically said: "Brother, I see that your eyes are glowing green, like an old wolf that has been hungry for a long time." Zheng Tong said calmly: "That's right, your brother and I have been hungry for more than ten years, and of course our eyes are green." Zheng Tong made a lot of preparations for today's tryst, but in the end he failed.Jiang Biyun called: "Zheng Tong, are you interested in seeing the art exhibition?" "It depends on the level of the art exhibition. If it's New Year pictures or paper-cutting, I'll forget it." "Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The exhibition of paintings collected by the Louvre Museum in France will end in two days. Will you go?" "Go!" Zheng Tong immediately jumped up from the sofa: "I was planning to have a good time with you today, but I didn't expect to catch up with the exhibition of the Louvre Museum, that's all, that's all, let's go to the art exhibition, what kind You can make up for it later, if you miss the exhibition in the Louvre, there is no place to make up for it." For unknown reasons, the exhibition of paintings collected by the Louvre was not held in the museum, but in the Beijing Exhibition Hall. People who saw the exhibition lined up at the window of the ticket office.When Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun arrived, there was a long line for a mile. After the two lined up, Zheng Tong Recalling the past when they lined up to buy ballet tickets in 1968, Zheng Tong really felt like a world away when recalling the scene back then. There are many people in the exhibition hall, and they seem to be more knowledgeable people. They know the artistic value of the paintings in the Louvre Museum, and they also know that the opportunity is rare. Maybe this is the only chance in this life. After all, there are not many people who can visit the Louvre Museum in Paris. .Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun looked at it very carefully, Zheng Tong looked at it and scolded people again, he thought that the management organization of the Louvre Museum was fooling the Chinese people, the most famous paintings were not brought, only some second and third categories were exhibited Works, such as the most famous "Mona Lisa" are actually replicas, and a replica sculpture of Michelangelo's "David" was also exhibited. It's made of stone, and even if you carve it out of granite as it is, you'd be speechless, but this replica is actually cast in plaster.Zheng Tong was very annoyed. The original of this sculpture was erected in a square in Florence, Italy, and it was not in your Louvre collection. Why did you come here to pretend to be a big-tailed eagle?Even if you brought Louis XVI's toilet, as long as it is authentic, it is still a cultural relic. Is there such a thing as a fool? Only the masterpiece "The Death of Marat" by the French neoclassical painter David is the most famous oil painting in this exhibition. It is hard to say whether it is authentic, at least it is not marked as a reproduction.On the screen, Marat is lying naked in the tub, with blood gushing from the wound, and the dead Marat has a desperate expression on his face.
