Chapter 5 4

Because it is summer, the doors of the boys' dormitory are wide open without even a curtain, so if you go the wrong way during the short wash time before the lights are turned off, it is easy to catch a glimpse of the boys' dormitory, shirtless or Men in military shorts.Seeing the appearance of the opposite sex, they often exaggeratedly say "oh", cover their vital parts with both hands, and dash to a corner where you can't see them, or simply throw themselves on the bed.Regarding the good security of the military academy, my fellow Beijinger Liao Fan gave such a generous speech at the class meeting: "The environment of the military academy is absolutely good, that is, those eight words-do not pick up lost items on the road and do not close the door at night. In the past, these eight words were just literal. To understand the meaning, this time, you definitely have to have a personal experience.”

Zhu Yan, who was in the same group as Liao Fan, conveyed his speech to me.While eating melon seeds, she imitated Liao Fan's tone and said: "Your fellow is very attractive. He told me that Ye Xiaomi is from a military family, and he must be a true Miaohong. I know why people are called Xiaomi and not Rice. Is it knowledgeable? Xiaomi’s elder brother is called a rifle. Revolution is millet plus a rifle.” Zhu Yan spat out a mouthful of melon seeds and continued, “Huh, you told him, right? See if he’s proud of it. I can see it, definitely Yes, he has a crush on you." The words "absolutely" seem to be easily contagious.

With a full face, I answered honestly: "It was when I came to the military academy to report for duty, and I chatted on the night train. He must be testing you. Although there is a friendship between me and him who took the night train together, But there must be no current. It is most convenient to receive current if you are close to him. There must be a show." Zhu Yan and Liao Fan were next to each other in the queue. They were close in height and similar in stature. Zhu Yan's short hair was covered by a military cap. When walking in the queue, whether viewed from the back or the front, it was really difficult to distinguish between male and female.After hearing my words, Zhu Yan immediately gave me a kick.She is tall and has long legs, and she likes to show off her beautiful legs

After the "Black Hand" incident, Zhu Yan and Liao Fan did not speak for a long time.In this way, it was not until the night march not long ago that the relationship between the two began to thaw. During a military topography fieldwork in the summer night, Zhu Yan and Liao Fan happened to be in a group.The assessment that day was a field march at night. The trainees set off in groups of four at dusk, and only those who completed the march before 12 o'clock that night and found the designated target were considered qualified.At dusk, the freshmen were transported by truck to the outskirts of the mountains, and then they acted in groups.

Zhu Yan's group of three men and one woman was in good condition at the beginning of the march, the road was smooth, and all the targets they were looking for were found as scheduled.But something went wrong slowly. The two boys except Liao Fan had a dispute over the route. The two men snatched a compass back and forth. The tone of the two sides gradually hardened, and the anger was obviously not Small. Liao Fan followed behind and walked with a dull head. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he was already confused.Liao Fan explores philosophical issues day and night with great insight, and organizing an event is also very eloquent and provocative.However, his military quality is obviously far behind, which often affects his self-confidence.Zhu Yan didn't take the initiative to talk to Liao Fan along the way. After that incident, she actually knew that she was wrong to blame him, and her mouth was firm, and she still felt a little bit ashamed of Liao Fan in her heart.Seeing that the two boys were at odds, Zhu Yan, who was following behind, began to secretly identify the direction while walking.

Because the opinions could not be unified, the two boys finally decided the winner by drawing lots.According to the opinion of one of them, the four of them walked towards the depths of the mountain.After they walked deep into the mountain, the night was already very thick, the wind was blowing and the clouds were blowing, and the moon didn't know where to hide.After walking all the way, the four of them finally turned around.The two boys couldn't care less about the quarrel anymore, they just walked forward randomly in a fit of anger. Liao Fan was obviously panicked, and his steps began to stagger.He had already drank the water in the kettle, and now his mouth was parched, his heart was heavy, and he looked back at Zhu Yan from time to time as if asking for help.Later, he seemed to be unable to walk anymore, and fell behind and walked side by side with Zhu Yan, stumbling along the way like a toddler.Like most of my classmates from the cities, my fellow Liao Fan is not as hard-working as the peasants, and his physique is more delicate.

Zhu Yan didn't speak, the two boys were arguing fiercely, and they were ignorant, so she never expressed her opinion along the way.But seeing that their group failed the assessment, the four of them might get lost in this wild mountain, so she secretly began to pay attention, and intentionally made some marks on the way she walked.Seeing the flustered look of Liao Fan next to him, he was totally different from the usual smooth-talking him, she couldn't help laughing to herself, while helping him kindly from time to time.Seeing him walking swaying and panting with his mouth wide open, she really couldn't stand his embarrassed look, so Zhu Yan handed him her military water bottle.

The night was getting darker, and the four of them wandered on the mountain road.With Zhu Yan's care all the way, and after drinking water, Liao Fan's mood calmed down a lot.At this time, the thoughts in Zhu Yan's mind were completely clear. She wanted to get the compass that had been controlled by the two students in front of her. She looked left and right, and then said lightly: "You want to Believe me, just follow me!" Then he walked straight to the deeper part of the mountain without looking back.Perhaps the three boys, including Liao Fan, were overwhelmed by Zhu Yan's calmness, and they couldn't help but follow.

That night, before 12 o'clock, Zhu Yan's team arrived at the designated place as scheduled. From then on, Liao Fan ignored the two slaps of "Zhu Heishou", and since then he has admired Zhu Yan, inviting Zhu Yan to take a walk on the playground several times to discuss philosophical issues together.In addition to the library in the military academy, the playground is a sensitive area.This is an oasis of love, and everyone on the earth knows it.So the girls are very sensitive about things like going to the library and the playground, so Zhu Yan immediately gave Liao Fan a "No!"

In the early morning, a large military truck slowly drove out of the school gate.Two soldiers from the cooking class sat in the front cab, and two boys and I sat in the open seat behind.Before getting on the bus, I saw a girl coming, and the soldiers let me into the cab, but I politely declined.I don't get into the cab and insist on sitting in the back.Others do not know, I have always been full of deep emotions for such a large military truck.When my parents were working in the field army, every holiday, the soldiers and their families would leave the barracks in such a large truck and go to the city to purchase daily necessities.

Plus, there's another reason I want to stay behind.Because one of the boys traveling together this time is him, Ren Tianxing.The other is Zhang Xuefei, a northeastern boy with a star quality. Every Monday on this day, the cooking team has to go to the street market to do a big purchase, first buy vegetables, meat and eggs, and then go to a military warehouse to transport flour and rice.Because it is in the military training, every time we make a purchase, our freshmen will be transferred to help. It was early morning, and there was hardly any traffic on the street.When the truck drove through a small street, it met a military truck coming ahead. The two trucks gave way at the same time and honked their horns to greet each other.After slowly passing by, I saw at a glance that the back of that car was also full of students, all female students, probably from some military medical school.Going out so early in the morning is like a new student going to a shooting range.Zhang Xuefei lay on the back of the car, desperately waving the military cap in his hand to greet the other party, which soon attracted laughter from all the girls.The laughter of the girls faded away, and Zhang Xuefei suddenly raised his hand to the blue sky outside the car, and began to read aloud: "Come on, come on all the days, let me weave you, with golden threads of happiness and wreaths of youth. ..." It is a verse in Wang Meng's novel "Long Live Youth". We, the generation born in sunny days, are no strangers to such works.Seeing someone recite it so fluently, I couldn't help laughing out loud as a literary girl.These days of military training, field training, emergency assembly, and daily drills, my life in the military academy is going on in a mess, and it seems that I am running around all the time.And at this moment, Zhang Xuefei's impromptu recitation, which seems to have appeared in the movie "Long Live Youth", suddenly made me feel a little romance that is rarely seen in military school life.Maybe my laughter was too hearty, Ren Tianxing looked at me, opened his mouth and smiled, showing a mouthful of neat white teeth.His smile was generous and warm, and it seemed that he was a bit shy and shy. It was nearly noon when the truck arrived at a military depot.After completing the procedures for picking up the goods, the two soldiers, Ren Tianxing and Zhang Xuefei began to carry flour and rice out of the warehouse.I'm looking at the car.A bag of 50 catties of rice and flour is not light.Ren Tianxing threw off the short sleeves of the military uniform, revealing his strong chest and back.Zhang Xuefei quickly took off her shirt, revealing her white body.The two joked with each other while carrying the food bags. Ren Tianxing put the grain bag on his shoulder and walked away, his footsteps thumping.When he walked all the way carrying the grain bag, his dark and strong chest and back were completely presented in front of my eyes.Seeing this man's muscular upper body at first glance, my eyes quickly avoided subconsciously, as if I had encountered some dazzling bright light.But soon, I found my gaze from afar again.I looked around and lowered the brim of my military cap a bit. With this cover, I thought I could have the courage to observe Ren Tianxing.While Ren Tianxing was transporting grain back and forth, I secretly scanned his chest and back with my eyes.This lone ranger has obvious chest muscles, and the lines of his back are extremely smooth. His figure has the beauty of power like an ancient Greek sculpture. After finally transporting the food, it's time for lunch.Soldiers from the cooking squad drove and led everyone to a restaurant on the street.This is a small restaurant with a small facade and not many customers.The two soldiers were obviously regular customers here, and they greeted and laughed with the proprietress as soon as they entered the door, and said that they would serve some big dishes to eat. I picked a window seat and sat down, Ren Tianxing and Zhang Xuefei sat on my side.A soldier brought a bottle of baijiu, let the driver pass, and poured wine for everyone one by one.When I came to me, I covered the cup in front of me.Immediately the soldier yelled and refused to get up.It is said that everyone is a comrade-in-arms, this girl can't look down on others.Ren Tianxing took the cup in my hand, held it up to the soldier and let him fill it up, and put it casually in front of me.He smiled at me and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous. Just be polite." Then, he got up and went to get a bottle of drink from the proprietress, came back, changed to a clean glass, and poured a glass of drink in front of me. The cold dishes came up soon, and when everyone toasted, the two soldiers shouted for me to drink together.Ren Tianxing hurriedly stopped him, but he didn't say anything, he just held my glass of wine in his hand, raised his head and drank it down.Soon the table was filled with steaming hot dishes, mostly big fish and meat.During the dinner, everyone chatted while eating. Those two soldiers are both veterans, and they will be demobilized and go home at the end of the year.After working in the army for three years as a cooking soldier, there were some complaints to some extent. The two of them were stumbling through their words, and their emotions were obviously a little unhappy.I listened intently, and Ren Tianxing didn't speak. Fortunately, Zhang Xuefei was making jokes, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was not too dull. "Two big brothers, don't belittle yourself. A true hero always has a romantic place! Come on, we meet everywhere in life, do it!" Ren Tianxing, who had drank some wine and had been silent all this time, suddenly got up, toasted three glasses of white wine, and All dry.The two soldiers couldn't sit still.The driver poured a full cup of tea and said that the wine was served with tea.The other soldier raised a large glass of white wine, and they both got up to pay respects to Ren Tianxing, expressing their sincere gratitude and appreciation to this little brother who was not very conspicuous. After talking, everyone's topic began to revolve around why we went to the military academy.Zhang Xuefei said carelessly: "I like wearing military uniforms since I was a child. This national defense green is too tempting. I like fighting since I was a child. I think it is useless for a man not to wear military uniforms in his life." "I came to the military academy because I was ambitious. A man has to be a little bit ambitious. Do you know that I am very famous and profit-oriented. When I was young, when I saw the names of the prisoners on the bulletin, I always thought, if I can My name is printed in type and widely circulated, so death is worth it. Either it will last forever, or it will be infamous forever! This is my life principle. Of course, I will never be infamous!" Ren Tianxing raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his tone Said calmly. Later, what I always wondered was, did it start from hearing his truthful speech at the swearing-in meeting?Or at Yanziji, the moment when he glimpsed the back of his Lone Ranger in the Rain?Or, from this moment in front of me, I fell in love with this unrestrained man. Then, under their enthusiastic questioning, perhaps also moved by Ren Tianxing's frankness, I honestly told the story of a backdoor soldier.For a moment, I couldn't help lowering my head in low self-esteem. "Your score in the college entrance examination is not low, and your quality should be good. Backdoor soldiers can also be regarded as good soldiers. You don't need to have a psychological burden. Whether you are a good soldier or a bad soldier depends entirely on yourself!" Ren Tianxing said to me and to everyone . Why does this sound familiar?Sounds familiar?Yes, it was my father, who said so to me on the platform the day he sent me to the military academy. I raised my head and looked at him.A pair of bright and hot eyes are full of trust and encouragement.The little bit of frost in my heart began to melt a little under such gaze. It was noon, the sun had risen to the middle, and the sun was shining brightly on a street.The two soldiers had already wandered around the street, saying that they would go back to the barracks after buying some condiments.As soon as the two young soldiers appeared on the street, they immediately became the hospitable targets of small vendors.The two of them walked and stopped all the way very contentedly, and when they saw the booth guarded by the young girl, they would go up to strike up a conversation and linger for a long time. A few beams of light penetrated into the small restaurant, and hit me through the window glass, making me feel a little tired from the warmth.Zhang Xuefei leaned back on the chair and dozed off.Ren Tianxing sat on the table that had been cleaned up, lying there flipping through a few newspapers from an unknown date.I sneaked a look at him, probably because I drank some wine, his face was rosy, and his eyebrows and eyes were bright against the background.Ren Tianxing was lighting a cigarette in his hand, which was presented by a soldier just now.He held the cigarette in his hand, but he didn't see him puffing it hard, he just puffed it occasionally, and the faint smoke spread out in the air little by little. I don't know if it's because I was a little sleepy after the meal, and my eyes secretly looking at Ren Tianxing couldn't help but gradually became a little blurred. This is a boy with such a peculiar talent. Military training will always leave people with a lot of symbolic memories, such as quilts folded into tofu cubes, morning exercises and late roll call, and emergency assembly.And how many years have passed, I still can't help but think of that scene. Countless times in the dream, it unfolded like a grand picture in an American blockbuster, and it was such a night at the military academy with a cool moonlight.At three or four o'clock in the morning, a crescent moon hangs high, which is a thin hook.The light moonlight shrouded the military academy next to the main road of the city, and the whistle of a riverboat came from the Yangtze River not far away from time to time.The shadow of the moon hovered around the whirling leaves of the sycamore tree, and shone on the tense face of Zhu Jinliang, the captain of the military training team downstairs in the teaching building, and his graying hair. His feet in military rubber shoes paced back and forth on the ground with a very rhythmic pace.Zhu Jinliang narrowed his wise little eyes and scanned the third floor of the teaching building sharply from time to time.After the lights in a window of the teaching building went out and flickered, Zhu Jinliang decisively raised the whistle in his hand, solemnly raised it to his mouth, and blew it with all his strength. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo " , hurried whistle immediately across the quiet night sky. After a few seconds of pause, there was a bang, as if someone had pushed the chair.In a moment, the former Kuomintang Ministry of Communications, now the main teaching building of the military academy, felt like an earthquake, the ground was trembling, and the leaves were rattling.But there were no lights, and no human voice.It sounded like a group of people fighting silently in the dark, a gang fight.According to the regulations of the military academy, it is strictly forbidden to turn on the lights and talk during an emergency assembly at night. In less than three minutes, the basketball court in front of the teaching building was already full of students, and the moonlight was just here to make fun of it.It's a good thing, you can vaguely see the stumbling figures of the freshmen who came trotting over, with bulging backpacks on their backs, and each of them seemed to be in shock after they were in place. Organize military uniforms and belts.I fell behind, and in the military training, except for eating, I seemed to be behind in everything else, from internal affairs inspection to queue training to target shooting. Hao Hao will always be dragged down by me.This sister who has been sleeping head-to-head with me on the other lower bunk since the beginning of military training, either owed me something in the previous life, or I saved her from fire and water in the previous life.So, when the whistle for emergency assembly sounded, she packed her backpack and came to help me. Before going to bed, I kicked a rubber shoe somewhere. Hao Hao crawled under the bed and groped for a while before finding it out.She then helped me fasten the military belt, the wide and long one, when I was nervous I couldn't fasten it or open it.Finally we ran out, looking like two late firefighters. The large military cap was buckled on my round head, hitting my head once and for all while walking, and even the big glasses on the bridge of my nose kept sliding down, and I could only keep pushing them with one free hand.Hao Hao followed behind me, and kept helping me to tie the straps of my backpack. My backpack was loose and obviously weak. Hao Hao worriedly smoothed out the two rubber shoes stuffed on it. After the order of the whole team, there was a quick counting sound, and then the team leader Zhu Jin highlighted his name. "Liu Baoguo!" "Come!" "Come Yunlong!" "Come!" "Shi Lianjie!" "Come!" "Xiang Zhongshun!" "Come!" "Li Hanlin!" "Come!" "Dai Zhongxian!" "Come! ""Mao Dianzhong!"——"Puchi", I laughed out loud, which attracted a few girls around, Hao Hao, Zhu Yan and Xiao Yao also laughed knowingly.Of the five girls in the class, only Ding Sumei beside me didn't smile. She even squeezed my hand lightly as a warning. "Pay attention to discipline!" Zhu Jinliang, the captain of the military training team, warned loudly.Only a few of us girls tried our best to hold back our laughter.Each of these names is full of ancient meanings, and some of them can't help but remind people of an ancient person with a not-so-glorious image, so they always touch our laughing nerve time and time again.There is no way, girls' thoughts are often united and lively, at the moment when they should be serious and tense. At daybreak, a team of 108 freshmen formed a green dragon and ran around the playground, with the voices of "one two one" and "one two three four" one after another.At that moment, I felt like a female agent receiving special training, farewell to my home and away from my relatives, and endured the double test of body and spirit.For a moment, a sacred emotion and a desolate emotion rushed into my heart at the same time. The sky in the east gradually turned gray and blue, and the morning exercise team crawled out of the barracks like a long worm, and rushed to the main road of the city.I ran in the team, only feeling hot, my hair was stuffy in my military cap, my glasses were wet from the rolling sweat beads, blurring the road ahead in my vision.The air is filled with the aroma of fried dough sticks, and the breakfast stalls on the street have begun to open. I don't know how long they have been running, but the team's pace suddenly accelerated, changing from a uniform running pace to a rapid marching pace.Suddenly, the backpack on my back suddenly became limp, as if it couldn't hold on and was about to fall apart, and it was about to fall into the embrace of the earth.I was a little panicked, the two rubber shoes tied to it had already rolled down.As if I was sleepwalking, I stopped suddenly and was about to stand in the middle of the team.At this moment, the backpack seemed to have grown wings, and it was about to fly upwards after stopping in mid-air.A pair of big hands that seemed to have fallen from the sky firmly caught my backpack from behind. "Quick, keep up!" A hurried voice ordered me.Then my body was pushed from behind, or held up to be precise.The backpack flew away, and even the straps of the backpack were pulled away from me in threes and fives.Like a prisoner who has been untied, I immediately feel light and unrestrained. The team finally stopped on a magnificent bridge.Under the bridge, what is surging is actually a vast ocean.Yangtze!The mighty water surged and sang joyously all the way, beating the river bank, leaping with spirituality, and galloping non-stop towards the place where the sun rises.There are shadows of sails lingering in the distance, and the first riverboat is coming out, and the siren is melodious and loud, as if saying "Good morning!" move up.The team announced its disbandment, and the students ran to the bridge railing, gathered together and cheered, shook their military caps in their hands, greeted the people on the riverboat, and then threw them into the air. I also cheered for a long time along with the big troops, deeply feeling a kind of revolutionary romance.After being excited for a long time, I suddenly thought of going to the team to find the person who helped me pick up the backpack. It was him.People with two backpacks are not hard to find.At this moment, he was standing outside the jubilant crowd, looking at the Yangtze River and holding his breath alone, I called out his name—— "Ren Tianxing! Ren Tianxing!" He finally heard my call, and his eyes were looking for something.A pair of shining eyes could not hide his pride and air.When we were about to run towards each other, Zhu Jinliang blew the whistle for assembly. When the freshmen returned to the military academy, the sky was already bright, and the disbanded teams were chaotic, and I couldn't find his shadow no matter what.After breakfast, the freshmen were pulled into a large truck and went to a shooting range in the wild to practice shooting.This trip is a day, even lunch is eaten outside.It was already sunset when we returned to the station.Before going to bed at night, I suddenly remembered my backpack.I was in a hurry, at this moment, someone shouted my name at the door. "Ye Xiaomi, Ye Xiaomi!" was calling me. I jumped to the door of the dormitory, lifted the curtain and walked out.At the other end of the corridor, a tall boy with broad shoulders was smiling and standing in the dim light of the corridor.He carried a backpack over his shoulder.The just-issued homemade military white shirt is tied into the military trousers, showing a simple and capable beauty.The military white shirt is made of coarse cloth, the material is not strong enough and the color is not white enough, but it fits him so well.His pupils shine like stars in the shadows, and his teeth are as bright as moonlight when he smiles.His figure is so tall and straight, and the posture of the backpack is so elegant that people think that what he is carrying is not a square backpack, but an accordion or a guitar. It's him.Ren Tianxing. Always him. If I ask you, who do you think among our five girls will be the first to fall in love?You will definitely say, it's a little demon!Congratulations, wrong answer. Less than half a month into the military training, the beauty Xiao Yao of our district team did receive a love letter.This love letter didn't come from the post office, but slipped in through the crack of the door.Obviously, the author of this love letter came from within the military academy. After "Sincerely, Salute", what is left behind is a person who looks at you every day.A love poem follows.A love poem with obvious signs of plagiarism, it cannot escape the eyes of a literary girl like me. When I got the letter, the little demon asked me out alone. On the playground before the lights were turned off, we sat head to head, holding a flashlight, and carefully read the letter.The little demon obviously lost the calmness of the past, blinking and blinking at me with her big charming eyes, and even her breathing was somewhat short of breath.It's common for beautiful women to show love to others, what's wrong with it?Since entering the military academy, Xiao Yao has received the most letters. Those middle school male students who have good impressions and fantasies about her are now sending her letters from various universities all over the country, either implicitly or explicitly, but there is only one theme, hope Xiao Yao is their girlfriend.Now, does such an unclear "person who watches you every day" make her heart flustered? "What. Emotional?" I asked. The little demon shook his head, and then said: "Xiaomi, help me analyze it, who could he be?" "God, are you falling in love? Your fighting ability is too bad. Your taste needs to be improved. What kind of person is this? The poem is copied, and the name doesn't dare to be signed. 'People who watch you every day ', bah! There are too many people watching your beautiful little fairy every day. I can't see what makes him worth your attention!" I am very objective. "It's not that I love him. I just think that it's quite courageous for him to dare to write a letter when the rumors are so tight." Xiao Yao said softly. In addition to training, military training is to learn rules.The military academy expressly prohibits students from falling in love, and all bad movements must be reported to the organization in a timely manner.This one has been conveyed by leaders at all levels throughout the day, and everyone's ears are full of calluses, and they have been brainwashed without knowing it.Yesterday, the homeroom teacher, Lao An, also emphasized during the late roll call that all bad movements, including receiving love letters, should be reported to the organization in a timely manner. "Hey, that's true. It really takes courage to stand up to the wind and commit crimes. But this man has no writing on his face, how can he find it? People who watch you every day, God, there are at least a thousand lions in the military academy. Which end will it be? Hey, think about it, who is always winking at you lately?" I inspired Xiao Yao to analyze. The little demon shook his head in a daze. "Is there not? Or are there too many lions flirting? I can't count them all." I asked very tightly. "Puchi." The little demon laughed. "Be serious! You can't analyze this attitude? How do you analyze it? How about we post a missing person notice?" I looked at Xiao Yao and asked. "Hehehe..." Xiao Yao laughed out loud. "I didn't see it, you are quite affectionate. Are beautiful women very cold? How do you deal with so many love letters you have received? I am a creative person. When will you give me a reference?" I stood up , pulled up the little demon, and walked along the track beside the playground.There are still about ten minutes until the lights are turned off. "You can't just show this to others. You have the right not to love, but others have the right to love. I just burn the love letter as I read it. It's enough for God to know that others know me." Xiao Yao replied. "There are so many love letters, but you haven't met one that moved your heart? Or, is there no man who has made you fall in love?" I asked Xiao Yao. "No, I really haven't. I think, when love comes, the feeling must be very different. It should be like the sky exploded, boom, the kind of sound that needs to be heard." Said Love, the little demon who has always been reticent, but the words he speaks are so poetic. Before love, everyone is a poet.
