How lonely is it to be alone in a wasteland?

Zhang Junbao couldn't say anything about this matter, he only knew that when he stood in the sentry tower again with the Bayi bar in the class, the whole person felt different.

The grassland in front of me is still the same, there was a light snow a few days ago, and as soon as the sun came out, some places became muddy.

In the distance, you can still see the white color on the hillside, like a hat.

In the small courtyard, only Brother Jun and him were holding their positions, and with the addition of Xiaobai, the others went into the grassland under the leadership of Aru to carry out patrol tasks.

"Whew......" Xiaobai walked around the courtyard, shouting several times, and seemed to be a little anxious when she saw Zhang Junbao ignoring her.

"Xiaobai, don't make trouble, I'm standing guard!"

He comforted Xiaobai softly, but his eyes were full of helplessness.

He really couldn't think of the use of standing here like a wooden stake.

However, since Aru and Brother Jun talked to the four of them, the entire thirteenth class has changed.

Every three days, I have to go out on patrol, four people out, leaving two people to guard the courtyard.

In the morning, Zhang Junbao had to make lunch for the patrol team, and they took it away and did not come back at noon.

These were the new rules, and they made him feel dead.

The sound of opening the door sounded behind him, and he knew that it was Brother Jun who came out, and sure enough, after a while, he heard Brother Jun say: "Xiaobai has an opinion?" ”

"She hadn't been out for a walk in days, so it was uncomfortable."

"How about taking Xiaobai on patrol next time?"

The corners of Zhang Junbao's mouth twitched twice, knowing that Brother Jun was still paying attention to Xiaobai, he immediately shook his head and chose to refuse.

Now I have to study some theory and politics classes every night, and sometimes I just take the three major orders and copy them in my notebook.

Such days reminded him of the life of a recruit company, the same rigidity and lack of freedom.

"Squad leader, if you have time, it's better to let Xiaobai go out and walk by herself, she likes to walk on the dirt road we run."

"Then how about I take Xiaobai out for a walk?"

"Uh......" Zhang Junbao's heart lifted again, and he felt a sense of powerless oppression.

Brother Jun, a good man, never seems to have stopped the idea of beating Xiaobai, and he is now adapting to the new environment and new rules, but he doesn't want Xiaobai to become a victim.

"Squad leader, let's wait for me to get off the post before taking Xiaobai out."

His voice became a little cold, even if Brother Jun was very good to him, he was a little wary in his heart.

Xiaobai is like an innocent child, circling around two people, maybe in the heart of a wolf, as long as he can eat and sleep well, it is a carefree life.

Why be so complicated as a human being?

Even the best relationships will have cracks, and then it will take time to mend them, and they will eventually leave traces in the heart.

Zhang Junbao and Brother Jun parted unhappily, Xiaobai ran to Zhang Junbao's side with a grin, and then lay down.

He really wanted to touch Xiaobai's head, only this heartless foodie would bring him peace of mind, but he didn't dare to move, now he was a wooden stake.

In the depths of the grassland far away from the small courtyard of Class 13, Aru and Kai Kai were sitting in a grass ditch to rest.

The hot water that the four of them had brought with them when they went out had now become cold.

After a few mouthfuls of cold water, the four tired people all trembled and suddenly became energetic.

"Squad leader, it's too cold!"

"Yes, squad leader, this water is about to freeze."

……

The three of them huddled together and complained in the leeward ditch, and the pancakes between the ammunition bags and clothes were now cold, and they might freeze into ice cubes before noon was served.

Aru held the gun in his arms, crossed his hands into his sleeves, and looked up at the desolate grassland in the distance, his eyes flashing with a hint of helplessness.

"I understand what you're saying, but now that you're here, you have to learn to adapt to the environment."

"How did the recruit company teach you? There has never been only people who adapt to the environment, and no environment has adapted to people! ”

"If you can't even bear this little difficulty, how can you be a qualified soldier?"

……

Aru's words made the three of them shut their mouths, only the face under the cotton hat became more bitter.

How did they know that Zhang Junbao had never come out to patrol, and if they knew, they would definitely go crazy.

After a reprimand and a reassurance, Aru took out his flatbread from the gap in the ammunition bag, then opened the cold kettle and began to eat.

"You three should eat it early, while the flatbread is not frozen yet."

"Squad leader, can we make a fire?" Brain-thumping asked.

"No," Aru refused directly, "This is the grassland, if we ignite a fire and cause a fire, then none of us can afford to be responsible." ”

"Squad leader, it's too cold, shouldn't we just light the fire and pay attention?"

"No, you said pay attention, how do you pay attention?"

"The wind outside is so strong that no one can stop the fire."

"Hurry up and eat, and try to go back early after eating."

Aru looked angry, eating cold flatbread but rarely drinking water, and the northwest wind like a knife blew over their heads, and the hairs on the cotton hats were blown up.

Kai Kai and the others stopped talking, and the four of them huddled together for lunch without saying a word, and this narrow grass ditch became a nest for patrol sentries, and at least they could feel warm.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Aru ran back with Kai Kai and the three of them.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Kai Kai and the three of them ran into the dormitory, Zhang Junbao stood in the sentry tower and just turned his head to look, and quickly turned his eyes back to the grassland.

He could understand Kai Kai's feelings, as if he were comforting himself.

The rules of the company need to be adapted, and the environment of the grassland also needs to be adapted.

They are all soldiers in military uniforms, and their duty is to protect their territory and shoulder their responsibilities.

It's just that they need a break-in period, just like a new car, where various parts learn to fit together in friction before they can play a role.

The night on the prairie came early, and it was dark at five o'clock.

Zhang Junbao walked into the kitchen and began to cook dinner for the people in the class, and the big head took over his duty task, looking a little sad.

Two dim lights lit up on the prairie, and the dormitories were all lying on their desks, busy sorting out their notes, and taking political classes in the evening.

In the kitchen, Zhang Junbao put the hot porridge pot on the table, Xiaobai gasped and lay on the ground silently, she was his loyal comrade-in-arms.

Wolves may not be the right word loyalty, but animals also have their own ability to think and act, they can distinguish between good and bad, and sometimes animals are more reliable than people.

"It's time to eat!"

Zhang Junbao habitually stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted, and every time the first thing that appeared was definitely a foodie's head, and then he saw Alu's tense face.

He is not as long as Lao Geng, and sometimes Aru is more like wearing a cold mask that no one can approach.

He is a bit like Wu Zhenyu, a little evil, a little bad.

He laughed very beautifully, and his crisp laughter carried a warm feeling, and he was much stronger than Lao Geng emotionally, because he already had his own son, who was a very funny little guy.
