In the days that followed, like the military life of most soldiers, it was monotonous and boring, repeating yesterday's boredom every day, and occasionally adding some new boredom, tactics, target aiming, and even queues.

Dressed in thick winter clothes and endless snow-capped mountains, every soldier in this outpost is constantly crossing his own yesterday, constantly growing, and working hard to make himself a qualified border guard as soon as possible.

These things are not much different in front of Xiang Xiaotian, every morning he still sprints sharply, and then accompanied by a physical fitness equipment from the squad leader Xiaozao, it is still five miles to turn mountains in the afternoon. On the contrary, I think of it and prefers the queue, the military posture, not because it is relaxed, it is because at least he can spare his head to think about something else, the military career of half a year has made him unable to adapt to the quiet life, and he has to go to activities every day, just like Xu Sanduo, even if he is alone, he has to run a few times around the small playground, pull a few equipment so that it will be more comfortable.

But he is also very crazy about his physical condition, for example, Lin Jie, every day just keeps up with the collective training of the large army, and every physical fitness is still fully pulled, when Xiang Xiaotian plays hard every day to increase physical fitness, Lin Jie just moves his body, which makes him very depressed.

In Lin Jie's words: "Maybe I'm more suitable to be a soldier than you!" ”

It has been more than three weeks since they unknowingly arrived on the mountain, and each new soldier has basically adapted to the rhythm of the mountain, except for the most terrible five kilometers, so that they have also ushered in a more tiresome job in addition to the official patrol mission: standing guard.

This is a two-person rotation type during the day, and two hours per person at night, although everyone is particularly envious of those deputy squad leaders who stand guard when they are in the recruit company, they don't need to train, just sit for half a day! But it's okay during the day, but at night, when the temperature is serious, the temperature is dozens of degrees below zero, especially the fragrance of sleeping in the quilt at three or four o'clock in the second half of the night, which makes people scream, and what is it like to blow trembling in the wind and snow for two hours!

Xiang Xiaotian was with the deputy squad leader Wu Ying for the first time, the two sentry positions, the main sentry gun, the width of the sentry bullet, the gun and ammunition cannot be combined and must be separated.

Originally, Xiang Xiaotian thought that he was carrying a cartridge belt very much, but later he brought a gun and realized that the weather was already very cold, and it was even more uncomfortable to carry a gun weighing eight pounds.

Today, Xiang Xiaotian is very unlucky is the second sentry, that is, twelve o'clock to two o'clock, very annoying, may be called up as soon as he wakes up, or sleep four hours less, which is very important for the body to relieve the fatigue of the day.

In this way, with the tangled psychology of sleeping or not sleeping, the last shift has already come to the whistle!

Xiang Xiaotian put on all the equipment he could wear, big gloves, leather hats, military coats, and the only skin that could be exposed was his face.

“Fuck！”

It's been a few days since I came to the mountain, but it's the first time I came out in the second half of the night, even if I want to pee at night, I'm holding back until the day to solve the first step in the room, and I feel that there is only this one simple English word!

Wu Ying, the deputy squad leader, had already walked out neatly dressed and joked with Xiang Xiaotian: "Hehe, how is it?" It feels good, it's refreshing! ”

After the four of them made the handover, there was nothing to do in this long night, and they couldn't even turn on a lamp, but at this time, Xiang Xiaotian was not in a daze, because he was looking up at the stars, and all the galaxies were clearly visible.

The Big Dipper, the Milky Way, and the constellations that can be recognized by the mess seem to be only in front of you, and you can touch them as soon as you stretch out your hand forward.

In addition, there is no wind at this time, the heaven and the earth are converging, and the sky is full of stars, and the only thing that suits the situation is that in this black and white world, there are only two lonely sentries in yellow military coats, silently performing ordinary tasks in the army.

Wu Ying also looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "How about it, it's good-looking, the mainland will definitely not see it, because we are closer to the sky here!" ”

Xiang Xiaotian replied to Wu Ying: "Well, it's good-looking, if I were a poet, I could write a poem, but unfortunately there is no ink in my stomach!" ”

"Actually, you are lucky, I was a few points behind in the college entrance examination that year, or maybe I would have been your senior, but now I am in my fourth year, except for the time when I was transferred to a non-commissioned officer, I have almost forgotten that I went to school until now!" Wu Ying was still staring blankly at the sky, as if she had been immersed in endless memories.

Xiang Xiaotian pouted and replied after hearing this: "Actually, I don't want to come either, it's also because of some messy reasons, step by step to get here!"

Wu Ying turned his head to Xiang Xiaotian and smiled and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, although I haven't become a college student, I am very satisfied with my current identity." ”

"Well, I think so too, I was quite disgusted here, and even a little resistant, always wanting to contradict something inexplicably, but every time I just want to open my mouth, I think that I am not qualified to resist, I don't even have a military skill that I can use, why should I question others. By the way, squad leader, it's pitch black, there's nothing to do at night, I'm afraid of the dark! Xiang Xiaotian seemed to deliberately change the topic and said, because his personality was not suitable for that very depressing atmosphere.

"How not! Come on, I'll talk to you recruit for a long night! Wu Ying adjusted a comfortable posture and leaned up, not so straight at night, and even more needed to walk, one came and went a little cold, and the other came to be a patrol, and then continued:

"Do you know why the bullets are separated!"
