Chapter 315: Burning Candles
The regimental headquarters meeting lasted until midnight, and until all the soldiers of the training regiment and the teaching team fell asleep, the conference room of the regiment headquarters was still brightly lit. In addition to the few people who stayed at the regiment headquarters for a meeting, there were still a few people in the training group who did not sleep.
Gui Yongjun and other troops did not rest because of a meeting; Cheng Zhichao, Zhao Jiyong and others couldn't sleep for only one reason - cold.
When I first entered the confinement room, the temperature could reach more than ten degrees, but at night, the temperature became lower and lower, and finally dropped to only a few degrees. The few people locked up in the confinement room were only wearing close-fitting clothes, and there was only a quilt on the bed that was not much stronger than a towel quilt, and the wet and cold air of the night penetrated through the cracks in the windows and doors without obstruction, and several of the old men couldn't sleep.
Just as not every drop of milk is Trensu, not every man is more resistant to frost than the girls of the island country who can still wear short skirts in winter. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's physique was stronger than the other three, and they barely supported it until eleven o'clock, while those few were already restless when it came to nine o'clock, and they couldn't stop jumping up after getting out of bed.
Originally, the special place of the confinement room should have been lit all night, just like the gas station in the parking lot. However, the picket squad leader was right, due to the aging of the wiring line, the approaching end of the year, and the comrades in the barracks could not spare time to repair it, and so on, at about eight o'clock, the electric lights flashed a few times and then went out, except for a few light bulbs with low wattage in the corridor that did not follow the same line as other rooms, the only electrical appliances that could be used in the other rooms were flashlights and semiconductor radios.
At this time, the candles issued to Cheng Zhichao and others in advance played a great role.
Cheng Zhichao was lying on the bed, curling his body into an egg, and he couldn't help but check whether he got into Zhao Jiyong's quilt, the two of them covered a bed, and when they hugged to keep warm, they suddenly felt that Zhao Jiyong turned over and got out of bed, jumped into his bed in three steps and two steps, lifted the quilt and got in, and kept shivering.
Cheng Zhichao smiled bitterly: "I just wanted to get into your bed, but you came to me first." ”
"No, it's too cold. Chao'er, I swear, after returning from two years as a soldier, I will never come to this ghost place in the south in winter in this life. Zhao Jiyong's teeth chattered, and he kept rubbing his hands on his arms, hoping to warm himself up.
Cheng Zhichao sighed, and suddenly remembered that Fang Xiaochen's benefits had come. If this is with Fang Xiaochen, nephrite is warm and fragrant and hu......gs him like this, and it is Zhao Jiyong who is with him now, although he knows that hugging can keep warm, but he can't raise this interest.
Zhao Jiyong obviously didn't have the interest of hugging him for warmth, but kept rubbing his arm: "His grandmother's, I suspect that the entangled squad leader must have been born in Jinyiwei in his last life, or he was an enemy agent who broke into our army, and came here to find an opportunity to destroy the combat effectiveness of our army, otherwise it would be impossible to come up with such a damaging trick to rectify us." I don't know if I have to suffer such torture for a few days, after I go out, I have to check my body immediately, if I freeze Lao Tzu out of prostatitis, Lao Tzu will have to kill him even if he fights hard. ”
Cheng Zhichao curled up again: "Drag him directly to our hometown, strip off his clothes in the ice and snow, and stuff him into the ice hole, so that he can also taste the taste of freezing." ”
"That's a good idea, and I raise my hands in favor of it." Regarding Cheng Zhichao's proposal, Zhao Jiyong not only rarely raised objections, but most of the time, he was also a resolute supporter and executor.
"The question is, when will we be able to get out?" Cheng Zhichao said with a hint of crying, "I haven't written today's diary yet, and after I go back in the future, I won't be able to explain to my daughter-in-law in the past few days." ”
"......" Zhao Jiyong blinked, completely speechless. Now that it's all down to this, this guy is still thinking about the diary, which is an outlier.
"What I care about is not whether you have a way to explain when you go back, whether you can explain the past or not, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me." Zhao Jiyong sighed, "What I'm most concerned about is that it's so cold, and that picket squad leader is rectifying us like this, when will we be able to sleep." ”
"What do you sleep on? Didn't you hear that the one next door had already run dozens of laps? ”,
"Why don't we get out of bed and run a few laps?"
"Forget it, if you run for a night, you can only barely freeze to death, and it doesn't work at all. If you really run and sweat profusely, you won't run for a while, and when the wind blows, you will definitely catch a cold tomorrow, and you can't take that risk. ”
Zhao Jiyong said "um", and sighed again: "It would be nice to have a heater, even if there is no heating, there is a fire to roast and roast." ”
"Fire?" Cheng Zhichao's eyes lit up: "Don't say it, there really is." ”
Zhao Jiyong perked up: "How can there be? ”
"Follow me." Cheng Zhichao said, turned over and got out of bed, took the candles in his hands and swiped them twice: "See?" This is fire. ”
"Rely on" Zhao Jiyong made a disdainful gesture, "I'm talking about the kind of fire that piles up a pile of firewood, burns vigorously, and can roast a whole sheep, do you have a fart with these candles?" ”
"No matter how small a grasshopper is, it's also meat." Cheng Zhichao held the candles on his chest like a baby, "Hurry up, call the picket class to send us a lighter, no, if you don't bake the fire, you'll have to freeze to death." ”
The last sentence touched Zhao Jiyong, this guy immediately took action, walked to the door, slapped the door panel a few times, stretched his voice and shouted: "Someone, is there anyone, there is someone, there is going to be a life, help" These screams were miserable and miserable, not much better than the female ghost who appeared in the cemetery in the middle of the night in the ghost movie, not only did the people next door stop their fitness activities immediately after hearing it, but even Cheng Zhichao next to him felt the gust of wind, and a layer of goosebumps was originally frozen on his body, I was so shocked by his voice that I almost got goosebumps and fell to the ground.
But the effect of this voice was obvious, as soon as Zhao Jiyong's words fell, the door of the confinement room was immediately pushed open, and then a dazzling burst of powerful flashlight shot over, Xiao Yue rushed in with two picket fighters like a war, and their expressions could not be seen in the darkness, but the tone was very eager and nervous: "What's the matter?" What's going on? Who calls help? ”
After Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong heard this, their hearts were warm--no matter how they rectified themselves, these comrades in the picket squad still regarded themselves as comrades-in-arms in their hearts, and when they heard someone shouting for help, they were more nervous than anyone else. Of course, this kind of nervousness is more because of the fear that something will really happen to a few of them because they have been rectified, and the higher authorities will investigate it, and none of the people in the picket class will be able to escape.
"Report to the squad leader, it's Zhao Jiyong who is shouting for help." After Xiao Yue rushed in, Cheng Zhichao didn't say a word, and directly sold Zhao Jiyong.
The flashlight in Xiao Yue's hand immediately shot into Zhao Jiyong's face: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Now is not the time to settle accounts with Cheng Zhichao, Zhao Jiyong temporarily swallowed the breath of betraying himself into his stomach, and said with a pitiful expression on his face: "Squad leader, no, we are all northerners, we are used to the days of heating in winter, and it is cold to the south, there is no heating, I can't stand it, can you talk to the squad leader and return our clothes to us?" We are all comrades, and we also want to keep a healthy body and contribute to it. ”
Xiao Yue used a flashlight to shine on him from head to toe, and saw that this guy was not wrong except for being sleepy and freezing and looking a little depressed, so he felt a little relieved, and snorted coldly: "Now you know it's cold?" Why didn't you think about being gay when you were fighting, and keep a healthy body for others? ”
"Isn't that a hot head, squad leader, we know it's wrong, please, can you give us back your clothes?"
"This is the old rule of our training regiment, no matter who comes in, they have to stay naked in the confinement room for a night, not to mention a few of you recruits, even if the regiment commander is locked up in confinement, it has to be handled according to this, there is no discussion."
Zhao Jiyong almost cried: "Who made this rule?" It's a real loss to come up with this idea. ”
"When I was a recruit, I had this rule." Xiao Yue went to the other trumpets again, and when he came back, he said expressionlessly: "Manly man, isn't it just a little cold?" What's there? The winter in the south is not too cold, not dozens of degrees below zero in your northeast, and even your nose can freeze much stronger? Just stay overnight and persevere. ”
Cheng Zhichao came over: "Squad leader, it's not that we don't insist, it's that we really can't hold on." You also saw the appearance of other comrades just now, this night, not very easy. ”
"In short, if you don't have clothes, I will tell you, the purpose of this rule is to make you unable to sleep at night, and to examine yourself." ,
"We've reviewed it and we know we're wrong." Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong showed a flattering expression at the same time, and they almost didn't wagging their tails to please Xiaoyue.
"I can't be the master of this, if I return my clothes to you, the squad leader will have to rip off my clothes, this risk can't be taken anyway." Xiao Yue's face was sympathetic, but there was no room for negotiation when he spoke. "There are no clothes, are there any other requirements? As long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you. ”
"Thank you, squad leader, you are such a good person." Cheng Zhichao hugged his arms and said, "Then we have two requests." ”
"Say it."
"First request." Cheng Zhichao stretched out his hand and pointed around, "You have also seen that the space of the confinement room is so large, two people in one room, it seems empty, and it gives people a cold hint psychologically." I beg that the five of us be locked up in one room, so that there will be more people and no cold. Second, five people are crammed into a room, and the heat emitted from their bodies can be used to the maximum. ”
Xiao Yue's lips moved, and his face was embarrassed: "What is the second request?" ”
"It's too dark in the house, and it also gives people a hint of cold, the squad leader is kind enough to send us candles, but he doesn't give us tinder, and we won't drill wood to make fire, you see, do you help us light the candles?"
Xiao Yue nodded: "This request can be considered, you wait for a while." After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong to say anything else, he led the two soldiers to turn around and go out.
After a while, I saw him turn back again, take out the key, and open the door of Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong: "The squad leader said, for the sake of you being recruits, it's not good to abuse you too much, so I decided to lock you up together and take care of each other." He took out a lighter from his pocket, took a candle from Cheng Zhichao's hand and lit it and handed it to Zhao Jiyong, "The candle was lit for you, only this once, not as an example, this kind of thing will be said in advance in the future." ”
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong were overjoyed, in fact, their ultimate goal was to let Xiao Yue help light the candles. But when he saw Xiao Yue enter the door, his nose was not his nose, and his face was not his face, for fear that he would directly mention this request and be rejected by Xiao Yue as soon as he came up, so the lion opened his mouth widely, first put forward two requests that he thought Xiao Yue would never agree to, and then mention the matter of lighting candles, so that Xiao Yue would naturally help them light the candles after rejecting the two unreasonable requests.
Unexpectedly, the comrades in the picket class also have their cute side, among the three requests, except for the request for clothes, the other two did not refuse, which is really happy from heaven.
After coming out of the number, Xiao Yue led them and released Lin Zhaocheng again, this guy is even more miserable, he is alone in a room, and there is no one to talk to. Next door is a Tangshan guy who is fighting with him, of course, there is no reason to communicate with them, when he was released, the snot bubbles have been frozen, after seeing Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, the seven-foot-tall man's eyes were red, and he almost didn't hold the two of them and cry.
Seeing the appearance of a few of them, Xiao Yue also felt pity in his heart, and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." What do you think the recruit company is? That's where the steamed buns can stick when they are thrown against the wall, and the recruits are engaged in these planes, who will you clean up if you don't clean up? Now you know how awesome? Sue you, if it weren't for the special care of the political commissar, there would be a lot more powerful tricks than this. ”
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong were terrified when they heard it, and said in a loud voice: "Then you thank the political commissar for us." ”
"The political commissar is in charge of everything day long, and he doesn't have the time to grind his teeth with you." Xiao Yue said, and opened the door of Shi Zhongkui's room again: "This room is better closed, and it is relatively smaller, let's go in." ”
Shi Zhongkui and An Jianye are not frost resistant to Cheng Zhichao and others, when the door was opened, I saw these two brothers trotting in place in the house, and I don't know how long they have been running, but they saw that both of them were tired, but they didn't dare to stop. Seeing Cheng Zhichao and others entering the house, they couldn't help but lean together, with a vigilant face, and at the same time clenched their fists with both hands and pulled the shelf.
"What? Do? Xiao Yue's face sank, and he glared and said: "I warn you, it is the organization that takes care of and trusts you by locking you in one room, and you are honest with me, and you are not comfortable with each other." ”,
Cheng Zhichao smiled all over his face: "Rest assured, squad leader, since we already know that we are wrong, of course we will not cause trouble again." ”
"That's for the best." Xiao Yue snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, the most unsettling thing is that you dare to rush out to fight in front of the brigade commander, what else can't you do?" You, stand over there; You, stay over there. Who is not allowed to make trouble for me, or I will just strip you naked and throw you outside to freeze overnight. ”
Turning around, he whispered a few words to the soldiers of the two picket squads. The two warriors nodded reluctantly, and a few of them went out and locked the door again. Then, there was a sound of footsteps, but Xiao Yue walked out alone, and the two warriors stayed outside the door, constantly observing the movements of several people in the room through the glass on the door.
"Oh, the seal of this house is really stronger than the room just now, at least it doesn't have much wind." Zhao Jiyong held a candle and walked around the house a few times like a leader inspecting, and his mouth was full of sound. Shi Zhongkui and An Jianye stared at him without blinking, for fear that he would break out. But after Zhao Jiyong turned around, he didn't do anything to them, but found a feng shui level that he thought was quite good, poked the candle on the ground, and squatted down.
Shi Zhongkui and An Jianye didn't know what he was doing, but they were still vigilant. If in the past, this kid dared to be so arrogant in front of him, even if these two people didn't turn their faces on the spot, at least they would have to say a few words of sarcasm. But in the water room, the two of them rode Zhao Jiyong to fight, but they didn't beat him into anything, but let him ease up, and the two of them turned into pandas with three strokes and five divisions, which had completely destroyed their confidence. Knowing that it is necessary to do it, the two of them together and Zhao Jiyong are not a heavyweight, not to mention that there are two Northeast men standing next to him, Cheng Zhichao and Lin Zhaocheng, who are with Zhao Jiyong? Two to one can't beat others, and two to three has no chance of winning.
I saw Zhao Jiyong squatting on the ground, stretched out his hand to test the candle flame twice, shook his head, took the remaining candles from Cheng Zhichao and lit two, poked together with the previous candle, arranged the finished font, and reached out to try it again, his face was slightly satisfied.
After An Jianye and Shi Zhongkui saw his pretentiousness, they had already guessed what he was going to do, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Sure enough, after Zhao Jiyong tried the candle, he laughed: "Chao'er, don't say it, your method is really smart, although the flame of this candle is not big, but in this kind of place, it is really warm to bake, come here, you can bake it too." ”
After Cheng Zhichao and Lin Zhaocheng came over with a grin, Zhao Jiyong clicked his mouth twice and said to An Jianye: "Hey, how many candles do you have left?" ”
An Jianye looked vigilant: "What are you doing?" ”
"What? Take it out and bake it together, aren't you cold? Let's make a fire together, we can't just use our candles, right? ”。
