Since they already knew that the other party was a soldier, and there was only a military camp in the training ground nearby, the indignant villagers went straight to the "temple" of the training ground after unsuccessfully pursuing Cheng Zhichao and others as "monks".

It must be said that after several months of intensive training, Cheng Zhichao and others have made a qualitative leap in their physique, although everyone takes turns to carry a fat pig of more than 100 catties, and they can't run the fastest speed, and the others advance and retreat with the pig-carrying people, but the speed is still much faster than those villagers. The sentry at the door stood on the sentry post and looked in the direction of the shouting for half an hour, only to see the people panting to the door.

The first to arrive at the door are all sturdy men in their thirties, it is the busy farming season, these pillars of the family do not go out to work, usually after planting the land before going out to find work. They were in the prime of life, and they were the first to arrive at the door. Then there are the older men and women. The women who came with them were undoubtedly the fiercest in the village. When the first people arrived at the door, they did not come forward to negotiate with the sentinels, but waited for the women to arrive and let them take the lead.

Women have a gender advantage in this regard, and they are well aware of their advantages, and when they arrive at the place, they do not have time to catch their breath, so they rush up, crying through the automatic door, asking the sentry to kill the door, let them go in to find the pig thief, and ask the troops for an explanation.

Of course, the sentinels would not open the door as soon as they heard their cries, but they had no choice but to stand there clutching the weapons in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The leader among the women was a twenty-one or twelve-year-old, tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. A young girl with a lot of heroism, this age is the age of beauty, she is not ugly, if she has long hair, she should be regarded as a beauty embryo. But this girl just combed her short hair to the ears, so the overall beauty was a little less.

Among the whole crowd. She was the most noisy, at this time she grabbed the railing of the automatic door with both hands, and her two thin lips quickly opened and closed to the sentry in protest: "Why don't you open the door, we obviously saw that they were soldiers of your army, and they ran back to you after stealing my pigs." As a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, you actually did such a thing, whether you are soldiers or bandits, I want to complain to your superiors. ”

The two sentinels were both senior soldiers, two or three years younger than her. The fetal hair on his mouth has not yet faded, and although the people in the training ground occasionally go out to harm people, they have never been chased by anyone to ask for an explanation, so it is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, and his heart is inevitably extremely nervous.

In the face of the girl's questioning, both of them were a little weak-hearted, but their responsibilities gave them a little bit of the ability to force their arguments. One of them stiffened his neck and said, "It's so dark, I can see what you look like when you get to the door." You...... Why did they come to our yard? It's so far away, I don't believe you can see clearly? ”

"In this area, there is only one of you who is a soldier, not your people, but people from other troops?"

"Not necessarily, what if someone pretends to be a soldier and steals from you."

"No way, we have proof." Immediately one of the men who came first stood up to contradict the sentry. This man is not very tall. A face that had risen like Guan Gong because of anger, holding a black thing in his hand, walked quickly from the crowd to the door, lifted the thing in his hand, and said loudly: "See it." Here's the proof. ”

By the light of the sentry post, the two sentries recognized at a glance that the man was holding a hat in his hand, which was a very ordinary camouflage hat, and there was a bright red plastic round cockade on it, and the five stars on the cockade pierced the faces of the two sentries like pig's liver. And if you look closely, this hat and hat micro are indeed the standard equipment issued by the army. Although the cockade is not visible, the camouflage uniforms issued by the troops are still very different from the work clothes purchased in ordinary labor insurance stores in terms of color and fabric.

The man continued: "This hat was picked up by us when it fell off during the beating after the gang was discovered, and you can't deny this." ”

This was a very strong evidence, but the two sentries turned their brains much faster when they were facing the man than at the woman, and the sentry who spoke stepped down from the sentry and reached out to take the hat and take a closer look.

But the man was extremely alert, and as soon as the sentry stretched out his hand, he immediately withdrew his hand: "What are you doing?" ”

"You take out the evidence, of course I have to take it and take a closer look, who knows where you got such a hat and took the opportunity to run here to make trouble."

"Are you still unreasonable? Is this something that can be taken out casually? When the girl heard this, she stopped doing it, and could not help but say in a loud voice, "You little superior soldier, why do you want us to give you this evidence?" Say, are you going to find a reason to hide it and destroy the evidence after you get your hands on it? ”

The sentry was hit by what he said, and his face blushed even more, so he could only force his reasoning: "I don't have it myself, what do you want your things for?" In the middle of the night, you storm the sentry post, and I have the right to deal with the emergency. Seeing that you are a woman, I don't have the same knowledge as you, please retreat to a safe distance immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”

"Hey, it's not a small tone, scare me with this?" The girl was angry with her, "Sue you, my sister used to be a soldier, and in terms of qualifications, you recruit you have to call me a squad leader when you see me, and don't put on a score in front of me." Call your leader at once, and we will negotiate with him. ”

"The leaders have all gone to the military region for a meeting, and they will not be able to come back in a few days, and if there is anything, we will talk about it after they come back."

"The main leader is not there, there is always a leader on duty, I want to see the leader on duty."

"The leader on duty is not here, there are only two of us left here, I haven't seen anyone steal anything into our courtyard, you better look elsewhere, maybe someone from other troops did it."

"What are you kidding, but are there any other troops stationed nearby besides you who are closest to us? As far as I know. The nearest unit, which is also about 30 kilometers away from us, can they run 60 or 70 miles in the middle of the night to steal from our village?

After the girl finished speaking, the other villagers also discussed: "That's it." It's so unusual, how can the current soldiers become like this, stealing things, and people don't admit to being caught. ”

"No, you must see their leaders."

The women's negotiations were unsuccessful, but they had already given guiding opinions on the general direction, and the next thing was what the men were going to do. rushed to the door and shouted loudly to the two sentinels, clamoring to see the leader.

So many people gathered around, and the automatic door creaked. The two sentries were startled, picked up their guns and pulled the bolt sharply, shouting, "What are you afraid to attack the barracks?" Stand back now, or I'm going to shoot." ”

"Open. You shoot, do you have bullets in your gun? A few empty cartridges. How many rounds of live ammunition? There are so many of us, can you beat it? When the men had gathered around, most of the women had retreated to the back, except for the girl, who had not withdrawn, and was still at the front of the crowd, so close that she could reach the collars of the two sentinels almost as soon as she reached out.

Although the other party's actions are a little excessive. However, it has not caused too much impact on the sentry post, and besides, it is excusable, it is not for nothing, and the two sentries really don't dare to shoot. I just pulled the bolt, just to scare them. At first glance, not only did it not frighten, but it caused a greater backlash from others, and the two sentinels gradually became a little unbearable. Fortunately, the villagers were also more restrained, and although the noise was fierce, none of them really climbed in through the automatic door, but just stood outside the door and kept arguing.

Just as he was making a fuss, he suddenly heard someone not far away shouting: "What's the noise, Liu Yuan, what's going on?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a lieutenant walked out of the darkness quickly, and when he saw the scene at the door, he was also stunned, and immediately changed from walking to running, running to the front in a few steps, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times: "What is the situation, what's going on?" ”

When the villagers saw that the leader of the army was coming, they calmed down a little.

When the sentry saw the lieutenant, he seemed to have found the backbone, and hurriedly said: "Deputy Company Commander Yang, these people are ordinary people from nearby villages, they said that someone in our courtyard went to their village to steal pigs tonight, and they chased them all the way here, lost clues, and made a fuss to go in to search for the group of pig thieves." ”

"Stealing...... Stealing pigs? Deputy Company Commander Yang looked surprised: "Good and decent, what are you doing stealing pigs?" ”

"I don't know, that's what they said, I...... Of course I don't believe it, this reason is ridiculous at all, we don't have a pigsty, and we don't have a place to raise it if we steal it. When they saw that I would not let them in, they made a fuss. ”

Deputy Company Commander Yang nodded: "You go back to the sentry post, I'll handle the matter here." He walked to the door and stood still, and asked aloud, "Which of you is the leader?" ”

"Me." Before she could say a word, the girl replied loudly: "Chief, those people stole my pigs, and these people have come to help, and I am the leader." ”

Seeing that the other party was a young girl, Deputy Company Commander Yang was not easy to be an official, smiled a little, and asked, "You said that our people stole your pig, is there any evidence?" ”

"Of course, when we were arresting them, one of them fell off his hat and was seized by us. Also, the pig was about one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds, the hair was white, and when they carried it away, it didn't move, it should have been beaten to death, and it was very recognizable. As long as you find the pig, then the matter is 100% conclusive. ”

The girl didn't know if she had really been trained by the army, so she gave her tongue to the extreme, and explained the matter very clearly in a few words, and then took the hat from the person next to her and handed it to Deputy Company Commander Yang. Deputy Company Commander Yang took the hat, and after looking at it twice, he seemed to be a little unclear, and walked to the lamp and looked at everyone behind his back for a while.

The two sentries could see clearly on the side, and after Deputy Company Commander Yang turned around, he immediately made a bitter face, slapped his hand on the head a few times, and muttered in a low voice: "Oh, my own mother, which good thing is this father, stealing pigs makes people find out, why do you leave your hat to others?" ”

The two sentries just now could forcibly deny their accounts after they presented evidence, but Deputy Company Commander Yang, as the leader on duty, could not be in the same league as the two sentinels. After relieving himself, he calmly walked to the door and coughed several times. Only then did he smile and said, "Since you have evidence, I can't stop you." To prove our innocence, you can go in and investigate. But you can't all go in, you can only send two representatives. Also, I can't make the decision on this matter, so I have to ask the above for instructions. ”

His statement is reasonable. The girl also knew that it was impossible for such a large group of people to let them all enter the courtyard, so she sent two representatives to find the superior leader of the unit and explain the situation, and naturally there would be an explanation, and she agreed again and again at the moment. After urgent consultations, the villagers decided that the bitter master would come forward and accompany Deputy Company Commander Yang into the courtyard to find the leader.

As for the fact that the sentry named Liu Yuan just said that the leaders had gone to a meeting and were not in the courtyard. It was selectively ignored by everyone, and both sides tacitly did not mention it. But it was precisely because of Liu Yuan's lying that the girl was firm that the pig thief was in the courtyard, and as long as she entered the courtyard to check, she would definitely be able to find their confidence.

After sending two representatives, the other villagers dispersed. Anyway, they are the reasonable party, and they are not afraid that the girl named Gui Yanmei and his father will suffer after entering the hospital.

After watching the villagers disperse, Deputy Company Commander Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Said to Liu Yuan: "Open the door and let them in." Immediately run to inform the battalion commander and instructors. Tell them back on the situation. ”

The training ground is a battalion-level unit, and although there are only a few dozen permanent troops, there is still a battalion commander and an instructor. Not only that, but there are also several company-level units, and even a fleet of only five or six cars and a dozen or so drivers. It was also crowned with a large size of "car company". The duty room next to the sentry post originally had an internal telephone that could be used to directly connect to various units, but Deputy Company Commander Yang asked Liu Yuan to run to notify the battalion commander and instructors. Liu Yuan understood. After putting Gui Yanmei's father and daughter in, they immediately ran in the direction of the dormitory building at a trot.

Deputy Company Commander Yang accompanied Gui Yanmei's father and daughter to walk slowly behind, and there was nothing to say. It seems that they are asking the whole thing about the whole thing, but in fact, they are delaying the time, trying to delay the time when they meet with the leader, so as to deal with this emergency.

He glanced at the hat just now, and already knew that the villagers were not full of food and had nothing to do, and that there was nothing to do here, and that there were really people who went to the village to steal pigs. But who the pig thief was, he couldn't figure out for a while. It may be a resident of the training ground, or it may be an expatriate platoon of the special brigade, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is a special combat team trainee who arrives during the day.

No matter what part of the people it is, they are now in a courtyard, and in the eyes of the villagers, they are the people of the training ground. People don't bother to pay attention to how many groups of people there are in the training ground, in short, if this kind of thing happens, the black pot of the training ground is settled.

Although the training ground is large, the living quarters of the residents cannot be too scattered. The distance from the door to the dormitory building is not too far, only a short two or three hundred meters, but under the deliberate delay of Deputy Company Commander Yang, he actually walked for more than ten minutes, which is mainly due to Deputy Company Commander Yang's superb acting skills. Whenever he heard something critical, Deputy Company Commander Yang would stop in a fuss and ask in detail to understand. At the beginning, Gui Yanmei's father and daughter felt that this leader was serious and a good cadre who was fair and just. But after a lot of times, it immediately became clear that he was stalling for time.

However, even if they knew that Deputy Company Commander Yang was deliberately delaying time, they were helpless, so they had to smile bitterly and talk to him while following his rhythm and stopping from time to time. By the time the two or three hundred meters were far away, the matter had been repeated twice, and even Gui Yanmei, a spicy woman, had no interest in talking about it anymore.

When I walked to the dormitory building, I happened to bump into the battalion commander and instructor who came out of the bed, and I was called out in the middle of the night, and the two leaders seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and they were muttering something while walking. But after seeing Gui Yanmei's father and daughter, he immediately became full of spring breeze, stepped forward enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two father and daughter sincerely.

When the two sides met, the battalion commander and the instructor had to ask carefully again, and this time the answer was Gui Yin, and Gui Yanmei stood aside with his hands and rolled his eyes. While listening to Gui Yin's narration, the battalion commander and the instructor led them to the battalion commander's office on the third floor, cordially gave them a seat, and the battalion commander quickly poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser and put them in front of them.

After all the work was done, the battalion commander said with a stern face: "Listening to what you guys say, the problem is indeed very strict. Xiao Yang, you go and find out right away, what kind of person is so bold that he went to the villager's house to steal other people's pigs. After checking it out, it must be dealt with strictly. ”

Deputy Company Commander Yang agreed, and was about to go out, when Gui Yanmei, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Chief, I see that in the middle of the night, it is not easy to conduct a comprehensive investigation, and in addition, if they don't admit it, it will be even more difficult to find out." I have an idea to quickly find out who did it. ”

Deputy Company Commander Yang immediately stopped and asked, "Do you have a way, what way?" (To be continued......)
