Chapter 3: The Barracks in the Mountains

The two carriages were full of recruits, and Long Yi looked at the beautiful mountains outside the window, and heard the sound of the railroad tracks crashing that had not changed.

At that moment, Long Yi thought of the aftermath, the girl who followed her like a little princess: during the school anniversary, Long Yi participated in the performance of the class, and temporarily formed a group called 'Class 6 of the Second Year of High School' with two classmates to rehearse a classic old song "Childhood" by Luo Dayou. After every rehearsal, I would go to the scene to cheer up, and sometimes I skipped class in order to watch the rehearsal, and the teacher didn't take the scolding to heart.

Wait for Long Yi at the school gate early every day, and then enter the classroom together. Yu Bo sat in front of Ryuichi and always liked to look back at Ryuichi with a look of adoration. Yu Bo has a tall nose, a fair and delicate little face, long naturally golden curly hair, and two big watery eyes, I don't know how many little boys have fallen for it.

Long Yi remembered that on the way home from self-study one night, as soon as Long Yi took Yu Bo's little hand, the little girl with a quarter of Russian blood fell deeply in love......

Long Yi sighed, looked up and saw that Yang Bing, who was sitting opposite, had fallen asleep, saliva dripping down his face. I thought to myself that this cousin is so happy! I fell asleep like this.

Not far away, a few recruits watched with interest a fat player playing the acoustic guitar, the tune Long Yi is no stranger, it is a classical solo piece, although the rhythm is not accurate enough, but it can also bluff a few recruits next to him.

Sending away the sunset, ushering in the dark night, and ushering in the morning sun, the train is moving tirelessly......

It wasn't until the third day, when it was dawn, that the train stopped. I saw a lieutenant officer shouting as he walked: "Get off...... The action is sharp...... Grab your luggage and get off the bus! ”

Not far away, six large trucks that Long Yi had never seen before were already lined up and waiting in front.

"Wow! It's cold! Yang Bing said.

An officer in a green army coat scolded loudly: "What are you muttering? What are you muttering? Lined up! Stand up! It doesn't matter if the recruits understand what it means to take a break, they shout the command: "Take a break...... Attention! Look to the right...... Even...... Name it now! ”

"Dong Xinjing"

"To"

"Zhao Zhi"

"To"

"Hu Congxi"

"To"......

After the roll call, the officer said, "Let's go in a group of twenty people, board the car!" The officer's tone seemed to be extremely reluctant, too, it was indeed very unpleasant to get up from the warm bed at five o'clock in the winter.

Three hours later, the truck stopped! Long Yi lifted the thick canvas, and nine young first-class non-commissioned officers lined up and waited. After the young officer had formed his ranks, he saluted a lieutenant colonel officer next to him and shouted with great vigour: "Comrade battalion commander! The recruits should have arrived, but they should have reached one hundred and twenty, but they have reached one hundred and twenty, please instruct! ”

The battalion commander scolded on the spot: "Damn...... What recruits? What recruits do I ask you? You haven't been a recruit? I'll hear you say again in the future, I'll kick you to death, recruit! ”

The young officer forced his face to blush and shouted: "Yes! ”

The battalion commander had a serious expression: "Comrades have worked hard, each squad leader ran and brought it back, and arranged a break!" ”

Long is in the first class, and Yang Bing is in the second class.

Everyone came to a 'big dormitory' that looked like a warehouse, it was dark inside, and through the faint light coming in from the direction of the roller shutter door, Long Yi saw that there were many twin iron beds neatly arranged, and it seemed that many people were still sleeping, and there were not many empty beds. A recruit who arrived a few days early carried two kettles and poured hot water into a row of yellow plastic basins.

The squad leader said, "Let's wash our faces, soak our feet and sleep!" I'll call everybody's ...... later."

Long Yi squeezed his eyes at Yang Bing, who was standing next to the bed, and seemed to say that this treatment was not bad!

A hurried whistle sounded......

Long Yi rubbed his hazy eyes, and saw a lieutenant officer standing not far away, dressed in neat winter clothes, with a white and clean big round face, and a slightly fat belly, the officer shouted: "All units get up, tidy up internal affairs and prepare for physical training!" ”

A well-proportioned first-class non-commissioned officer walked to Long Yi's bed and said, "The new comrade who just came here today will come over and teach you how to fold quilts." ”

The non-commissioned officer is called Su Di, the first squad leader, a native of Jincheng, Shanxi, and is in his fifth year of enlistment. Obviously, I haven't shaved in two days, and I can vaguely see the stubble on my face, but this does not affect a man's handsomeness, but adds a bit of masculinity. Su Di explained the essentials while demonstrating, and it was only a few tens of seconds that he folded Long Yi's quilt squarely.

The people next to him were stunned, and they all felt like they were watching a performance.

Sudy said: "Do you see clearly, let's demonstrate it again in slow motion, practice makes perfect." As he spoke, he spread out Long Yi's quilt and taught it step by step, and after folding it, he glanced at the soldiers next to him and said, "Okay, let's practice separately, the time is half an hour." ”

Long Yi spread out the quilt and studied according to the steps taught by the squad leader, thinking that he would kick it away when he got up at home, so he didn't fold the quilt. Three minutes later, it was folded, and 'haha' Long Yi laughed himself, I'll go! It's ugly! How is this different from the squad leader? The bulging bag is really like a steamed bun.

Su Di shook his head and turned to look at the situation of the other soldiers, and said: "Go into the house to see the housekeeping, go out to see the queue, then the quilt is the most important part of the housekeeping, if a soldier can't even fold the quilt well, then there is basically nothing else to look at...... So practice well. ”

"That soldier, the proportions are wrong, the top is long, take it apart and re-fold." Sudi said.

Half an hour passed quickly, the recruits changed into physical training uniforms, and the next five kilometers followed. Sudi led a group around the football field on the left side of the team, and in the winter, fine dust was raised in the dry air, and the lawn was like a camel-colored carpet......

Su Di said while running: "Adjust your breathing, everyone is not used to running just now, today's adaptive training, you are not required to run too fast, the one behind is ......" Long Yi turned his head to look at the squad leader, very relaxed, his face was not red and his heart was not beating......

After running around the football field for more than ten minutes, the recruits were already sweating profusely, and the last little man was panting violently with difficulty......

Sudi said: "Okay, now let's sprint, spread out the last lap and a half and see who is the fastest." After saying that, he stopped, lit a cigarette and smoked.

The team dispersed at once, the front was Zhang Hang, a native of Heilongjiang, a man of more than one meter and eight meters, followed by Ren Xiaoguang Shandong, Long was third in the first row, and the one behind was also closely followed, and the last was Zhu Tengfei, who obviously ran hard. When Long Yi rushed to the front when he crossed the corner, Zhang Hang also gritted his teeth and insisted, after all, he was so tall, he couldn't be ashamed!

Long Yi adjusted his breathing, his speed became faster and faster, the wind was whistling in his ears, his arms swinged back and forth quickly, and he was the first to rush to the finish line, and the second place Zhang Hang opened more than 100 meters......

Sudi said, "Good! Not bad! With the smoke that had just been spit out from his mouth, he took a sharp puff of the cigarette between the middle finger of his right index finger and middle finger. Zhang Hang reached the finish line second, and Su Di said, "Eh! Very good, don't stop all at once, jog to adjust your breathing ......"

Five or six soldiers rushed to the finish line one after another, and Sudi shouted to the people behind, "Hurry up...... Fast...... Sprint! ”

Su Di led a group of people to sit on the steps and slapped their thighs and calves to relax their muscles, Su Di said: "My name is Su Di, and I will take everyone to train for a month, so let's introduce ourselves." ”

Long Yi was impressed by the big man, and he was still more gentlemanly, and the big man said: "Zhang Hang! I don't have any hobbies, I like to play basketball, and I used to be a forward on the city's basketball team. ”

A recruit said: "Ren Xiaoguang, from Qingdao, second-level chef!" ”

Sudi asked, "Why did the cook come to the army so well?" ”

Ren Xiaoguang laughed twice and said, "People! See the outside world while you're young. ”

Sudy nodded and asked, "The fastest buddy?" ”

"Long Yi, a native of Qianxian County!"

Sudy said, "Gone? ”

Long Yi smiled and said, "It's gone." ”

Su Di said: "Since ancient times, the Dian Army and the Sichuan Army have produced macho men, and there is also a macho man in our class, so who?" Dude who pretended to be dead at the end......"

Zhu Tengfei said: "Yichang, my name is Zhu Tengfei, everyone can call me Brother Zhu." ”

'Brother Pig? Everyone laughed......

After the exercise, they changed their clothes, and everyone gathered on the concrete floor in front of the dormitory. The platoon leader Zhou Yong sorted out the team, that is, the lieutenant officer who was slightly blessed. After the team was formed, he reported to the battalion commander: "Comrade battalion commander, all the personnel of the first battalion have been assembled, please instruct!" ”

Song Xiaolin, the commander of the first battalion, saluted Zhou Yong and said: "Take the platoon as a unit and sing a song!" ”

A row of Sudi beat the beat, singing "Into the New Era", because the recruits have just enlisted in the army and have not had time to teach the military song, so they can only sing some familiar songs.

"I always want to confess to you...... Preparation...... Sing! ”

The second row sang "Unity is Strength", but the recruits seemed to be reluctant, their voices were not loud, and some did not sing at all.

"Stop, stop! What is sung? The first company commander Huang Da roared with a straight face, and the company commander with a pox scar on his face looked very unhappy, after all, the battalion commander Song Xiaolin was standing next to him.

Huang Da roared: "The troops are talking about three sounds, singing, applause, and slogans!" Are they all the same? I want to sing it well and yell it out to me! I'm not satisfied with not eating today, I'll practice with you! After speaking, he had a black face.

So I sang it three or four times, and the recruits were scolding in their hearts for being sick, and they sang songs about wool after eating? Battalion Commander Song watched it for a while and left, and the company commander began to scold again: "You are cheap billets!" Don't ask me who Huang Da is, and play tricks on me......"

The muscles on his acne-covered face twitched: "You guys remember it for me!" We're in a row! What does that mean? That is, everything has to be the first, and there will be a lot of exercises in the next training, what is a drill? It's a horse or a mule pulled out to see it, don't give me a strain when the time comes, otherwise don't want to have a good life! After speaking, he glanced at the soldiers in front of him with half his eyes: "It's all good to do it yourself, let's have dinner in each class!" ”

The squad leaders entered the dining room one after another with their soldiers, and everyone stood until the last people from the second and fifth classes came in and stood at the table, and the attendant Zhou Yong ordered: "Sit down!" ”

At that moment, Zhou Yong looked at the recruits who were sitting slowly at the door of the restaurant, and roared "stand up" again, and everyone had to stand up again. Zhou Yong said: "We are not a rabble, listen to the password and do actions, when to sit down and when to eat!" ”

"Listen to the command! Sit down! ”

It was repeated three or four times before it was finished, the standard three dishes and one soup, braised pork, fried cabbage, fried shredded potatoes, and the other was seaweed soup. To Long Yi's surprise, the braised pork was done relatively well, it was actually red and bright, and after a tired day, Long chewed a mouthful of rice, and his cheeks bulged slightly.

Suddenly, there was a whispering sound next to the air conditioner, and then a soldier actually laughed three times, Zhou Yong scolded: "Those two soldiers stand up, eat well, what are you muttering?" Who is your squad leader? The two recruits stood up under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, and a non-commissioned officer took them outside the cafeteria and scolded them.

Everyone in the restaurant ate in silence, no one spoke, only the sound of the dishes and the slight chewing sound could be heard......
