After eating, Wu Liuyi set off with Zheng Yingqi, and before leaving, Wu Liuyi said in advance: "It's very desolate there, we may have to hike there." ”

In response, Zheng Yingqi said a cold joke in reply: "Let's think of running a few five-kilometer runs." ”

He knew that the maintenance station of the oil pipeline was far away.

The two set off so simply, Wu Liuyi walked very fast, Zheng Yingqi followed Wu Liuyi's pace, noticed Wu Liuyi's complicated face, and after a long time, Wu Liuyi said:

"I really don't like him."

Zheng Yingqi knew that Wu Liuyi was talking about Xu Sanduo, how could a person like Wu Liuyi like a soldier who had no self-esteem, no pursuit, no ambition and even no excellent military qualities?

"But he ......" Wu Liuyi sighed: "He will always make people feel that he is pitiful...... There will always be people who want to sympathize with him, but this is the army, each of us is a protector, not a protected person, wearing this military uniform, we can't be sympathized! ”

Zheng Yingqi actually doesn't have a sense of honor like Wu Liuyi, and he can't deeply understand what Wu Liuyi is proud of, admires, and is proud of, but he understands one thing - Wu Liuyi dislikes Xu Sanduo, but he just hates his cowardly character, not this person.

So after hearing the news, he set off.

"Actually, it's good to keep him maintaining the station." Wu Liuyi sighed, but Zheng Yingqi couldn't agree: "As I said, he is actually a tiger in his bones, a tiger in the mountains and forests, but his education since childhood has made him a cat, believe me, sooner or later we will see him take off his cat coat and reveal his tiger bones." ”

Wu Liuyi didn't understand that someone like Zheng Yingqi would attach so much importance to Xu Sanduo, and even respect it so much, he didn't bother to argue with Zheng Yingqi on this issue, but said:

"Hopefully......"

Zheng Yingqi was rare and sincere: "It will be soon." ”

This is a training ground, a training ground for mechanized troops, and it is destined to be an endless, uninhabited area, the two walked and walked, Wu Liuyi said:

"Do you know, the third squad leader of the Red Third Company, Lao Ma, is the best squad leader of the Third Company, after the maintenance station was established, the task fell on the Third Company, and the Third Company finally decided to put the old horse there, do you know why?"

He must have offended someone!

Zheng Yingqi thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, Wu Liuyi finally said the answer himself: "That place will make people stupid, so the third company sent the best squad leader there." ”

"It's just ......" Wu Liuyi remembered the last time he passed by the maintenance station at the training ground, and shook his head: "That place, after all, the best squad leader of the third company was abolished!" ”

Lao Ma is no longer the best squad leader in the third company, Wu Liuyi is very sure of this, physical fitness is a thing, if you don't practice for a few days, it will decline, and Lao Ma at the maintenance station has been completely mediocre.

After a while, Zheng Ying said: "After all, people need to sacrifice." ”

Wu Liuyi looked at Zheng Yingqi in surprise, and even stopped, and only after a long time did he say, "You are not qualified to say this." ”

The two fell silent on the rest of the journey, Zheng Yingqi sensitively felt Wu Liuyi's dislike for him, he didn't understand why Wu Liuyi suddenly didn't like it, and after a while, Zheng Yingqi said:

"Deputy Wu Ban, let's have a race, just treat it as a few five kilometers, and see who can carry it to the end!"

"Okay! Let's run! ”

Wu Liuyi and Zheng Yingqi ran wantonly, Zheng Yingqi always held his breath, followed Wu Liuyi, and didn't know how long he ran, the stubborn two finally couldn't run anymore and collapsed on the vast Gobi.

The embarrassed two looked at each other embarrassed, and after taking a breath of relief, they both laughed, Wu Liuyi said: "Although I don't like you, you are a good material!" ”

"Deputy Wu Ban, I don't like your temper either, but you're a good squad leader!" Zheng Yingqi shot back, and the two laughed again, and then moved on.

After lunch, the two of them came out of the camp, and for four hours, during which they also drove up the speed for a long time, before they finally saw the maintenance station in the depths next door, a lonely and shabby place standing on the ground.

"In the past, we would rest in this place during training, and then the old horse went there, so we didn't go, and the company commander said, don't go to stimulate others......" Wu Liuyi looked at the lonely building in the distance: "But do you know that the underground of that shabby building is full of expensive oil pipelines, and it is these oil pipelines that allow the iron guys of our regiment and our division to be unscrupulous here!" ”

"It's a very important place, but it's also easy to scrap a soldier." Wu Liuyi commented on this place, and the corners of his mouth showed sarcasm: "Here, it's quite suitable for that kid." ”

Zheng Yingqi looked at this and thought: This will be the starting point of that kid, the kid you look down on will rise again here, and kill back to the Seventh Company of Steel with the posture of Hu Sanduo.

You can't think of it, right?

……

Xu Sanduo was "dispatched" from the 3rd row and 8th shift to the 2nd row and 5th shift the day before yesterday, and after the discomfort of the first day, he entered the role of a member of the third shift, but he was the same unsociable.

In the recruit company, he dragged his hind legs, but because of his continuous efforts, he won everyone's forgiveness and recognition, in the 8th class, he dragged his hind legs, and finally forced the squad leader, after a fat beating, the squad leader masturbated, and he also arrived in the 5th class.

But in Class 5, he was just as unsociable.

Xue Lin, Lao Wei, and Li Meng were ringing the bell and living a chaotic life, Lao Ma was nostalgic for the previous years, constantly hesitating between persistence and giving up, and the simple Xu Sanduo was thinking about what Zheng Yingqi said to him, Shi Jin said it to him, and what the instructor said.

So, like when he was a recruit in a company, like when he had just left the company, he went to fulfill all his obligations as a soldier, standing guard, sentry, internal affairs, and then looking for something meaningful.

When Zheng Yingqi and Wu Liuyi appeared at the maintenance station, it was when Xu Sanduo stood guard.

"Am I right?"

Wu Liuyi looked at the "statue" in the sentry booth blankly, and couldn't stop his footsteps - this is a maintenance station, a maintenance station where there are no rats, and the reason why the trained troops here would rather take a detour than come in person is because there is not even a sentry here, and there is no appearance of an army, so it will be discouraged.

"It's our three more." Zheng Yingqi doesn't need to look at it to know who it is.

Wu Liuyi said in disbelief: "Is this the old horse's dismount?" ”

Of course, Zheng Yingqi knew the reason, but instead of saying the reason, he suggested: "Let's sneak in and take a look." ”

Wu Liuyi looked at the leaky maintenance station and nodded.

So the two quietly walked around, dodged the "statue" in front, and sneaked to the dormitory of the maintenance station from behind.

In the dormitory, the four veterans were grumbling, and the arrival of Xu Sanduo was like a normal person from a mental hospital - if this normal person could not integrate into the collective, it would be a humiliation for any member of the collective.

"Play cards, play cards! What are you doing in a daze? ”

"Spank! How long do you think that kid out there can last? ”

"Two days?"

"Five days?"

There was a boring conversation between a group of boring soldiers, and the conversation also revealed a definite fact.

Wu Liuyi muttered in a low voice: "This kid, is this going to do something meaningful?" ”

The cold Zheng Yingqi popped out a sentence: "Isn't it natural to be a soldier standing guard?" "Of course, this is not a meaningful thing for Xu Sanduo - the meaningful thing for Xu Sanduo will be to repair the road, and it is something that he didn't do when he was the head of the regiment or the platoon commander.

"Let's go, let's go through the main entrance."

The two distant comers, who had completed the great cause of eavesdropping, quietly went back again, and then appeared in front of the sentry post.

"Squad leader! Zheng Yingqi! ”

Xu Sanduo, who was standing guard, noticed the figure coming from afar, and when the figure approached, he cried out in surprise, and then showed his trademark smile, and hung his head embarrassedly.

He thought:

[I made a mistake again, I'm standing guard......]

But the surprise can't be suppressed.
