I don't remember how far we traveled on the train, but I remember sitting on the train for a day and a night, and there were no people along the way, except for the long mountains and the barren yellow earth. After a day and a night in the car, anyone will feel uncomfortable, and even a person like me, who doesn't like to move, feels that his butt hurts. Our group of recruits also became reticent from the beginning of chattering excitedly. Maybe it's because we're getting closer to our end, and no one knows what awaits us.

The green train we took was originally a turtle speed, but when the speed changed from turtle speed to stationary, the leading cadres shouted in the trunk: "Comrades, we are about to get off the train, or we will continue to take the vehicle to our training base for a distance, and now you are wearing this military uniform, you are half a soldier!" When you go out, you must pay attention to the image of a good soldier! Do you understand! ”

"Understood!"

On the way to the boarding site, more than 100 of our recruits Danzi under the guidance of several green and red ranks, carrying their own things, messily walking with the pace of "one-two-one, one-two-one", the surrounding people raised their mobile phones, some took pictures, some video, and some told others, some of the older ones were clapping for us, and I was proud and proud of being a soldier for the first time.

After another more than four hours of driving, we crossed an unknown number of mountains again and finally arrived at our recruit company. We call him the recruit company verbally, but in reality, I'm afraid that half of the province's recruits are here, and the black is overwhelming.

Although the leading cadres are still that amiable, even us recruits can feel that the whole atmosphere has begun to become tense. This kind of power has made us, the flat-headed common people who are just wearing military uniforms, consciously arrange themselves into phalanxes in accordance with the orders of the cadres. Then wait for the redivision of the formations and the assignment to the recruit squadrons of the various detachments.

I carried my things to the phalanx of the 3rd Squadron of the XY Detachment, and it was a few cadres and non-commissioned officers who were in charge of us, and their attitude was not so kind. On the contrary, his face was serious, but none of our newly formed more than 100 recruits made a sound, silently waiting for the name to be called and then out of the ranks.

"Chen Mo!"

"Here!"

"The third squadron of the new training is in a platoon of three squads! Dequeue! ”

"Yes!"

The one who took me away was a non-commissioned officer with a dark appearance and a murderous face, who was not tall, but from the first impression he gave me, I knew that this guy was a ruthless man!

According to the tradition of the troops, the squad leaders would give us recruits a warm meal before torturing us. We were given a wash and introduced ourselves.

"Comrades, my name is Mao Jun, a native of Guizhou, and I am the squad leader of your recruit company, so please introduce yourself!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Pang Zhaowei, from Jiangsu."

"Hello everyone, my name is Dai Dunxiang, from Jiangsu." As he spoke, he got up and saluted everyone with a four-way military salute, and even the squad leader was laughed.

"Hello comrades, my name is Li Xiao, from Shandong!"

......

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Mo, from Jiangsu."

In this way, ten recruits in our squad plus one non-commissioned officer formed the third platoon of the third squadron of the new training of the XY detachment.

After a simple send-off, we finally started the life of the recruit company. And our first lesson is running, I have to say, Lao Mao is a livestock, don't look at him is not tall, but run like a mad dog, at the beginning of the team in front of the leader, but from time to time also look back to see if there is any recruit Danzi left, if there is will run to the back of the team, first good words to encourage, not good began to scold, and then not the recruit who fell behind will be pulled by Lao Mao, dragged to run, the degree of tragedy, can be imagined.

We lined up in a dormitory, and in the evening, the three squad leaders introduced themselves separately in the dormitory. The first squad leader Wang Kaidi, the second squad leader Qin Jiannan, and the third squad leader Mao Jun. They are all from the same company, but the difference is that the three of them are three people with very different personalities, and I am glad that my squad leader is a normal person.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that I realized I was wrong.

There are three Jiangsu people in the class, coincidentally, all three are smokers, and they didn't dare to smoke after a busy day, so at night, when everyone fell asleep, the three of us made an appointment to go to the toilet together to smoke one. The three of them quietly touched the toilet, and as soon as they lit the cigarette, Lao Mao appeared, and there was no sound at all, just like a ghost.

"Pang Zhaowei! Dai Dunxiang! Chen Mo! ”

"Here!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

The three of us were so frightened that both cigarettes fell to the ground.

"You three can, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, run to the toilet for me to smoke, you like to stay in the toilet so much, hey, who told you to throw cigarette butts on the ground for me! The three of you will clean the toilet for me tonight, and there will be no dust, or you will leave me in the toilet tonight!" After saying that, he left directly.

"Damn, this guy is a psychopath, let people clean the toilet in the middle of the night."

I looked at the grumbling Dunxiang, shook my head, and was just about to speak, only to see Lao Mao suddenly appear at the window again, it's so scary!

"Ahh The weather is so nice today, and the moon is so round! Dunxiang also saw Lao Mao inadvertently, and suddenly shouted, Zhaowei and I both forced our laughter to hold back our laughter, and our faces turned red. I saw that Lao Mao still had that solemn expression.

"Who let you speak! Energetic isn't it, line up, five kilometers armed off-road! ”

For a few recruits who have just enlisted in the army, five kilometers is simply a devil, not to mention such a devil squad leader. I, Zhaowei, Dunxiang, Lao Mao, the four of them were running on the playground in slippers, Lao Mao was still like a mad dog, rushing desperately, as if he was running, and he didn't care about the life or death of our three recruits.

Where can the three of us recruits stand this, the slippers are running to the ankles, I don't know what the two of them think, I can't stand it anyway. dragged off the slippers, held them in his hands, and rushed forward to chase Lao Mao with bare feet. We've been at least three kilometers away. And Lao Mao still ran like a mad dog, without slowing down at all. He probably never imagined that a recruit would be able to catch up with him after running three kilometers.

I rushed in front of him desperately, smashed the slippers in my hand at him, and roared: "You're fucking sick, you're engaging in corporal punishment, I'm going to report you to the instructor!" ”

Lao Mao was obviously confused by me, I don't know if it was because I caught up with him, or because I smashed my slippers at him, or because I said I wanted to report him.

Lao Mao gradually slowed down and stopped, and I was tired like a dog, and stopped. Lao Mao looked at me, and I looked at him.

Maybe I really just had a hot brain at that time and didn't think about anything. I didn't think about why Lao Mao always had such a solemn expression, and I didn't think about why Lao Mao was so keen on running. I only know that through this time, Lao Mao must have remembered me deeply.
