Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wakes for Comrades-in-Arms
86_86034The middle-aged man nodded and stopped crying, after which Peng Fei and Zhang Xiaoquan let go of his arm. Then Wang Peng's father, supported by the head of the regiment, pulled his son, who was not very bright-minded, and walked outside the auditorium.
Looking at their departing backs, Peng Fei suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart. He remembered what the squad leader had told him in the car. Although he didn't think that the tire puncture had anything to do with Wang Peng, he believed that the father and son who were supporting each other were the people Wang Peng never forgot and always cared about in his heart.
The farewell ceremony for the body will be held tomorrow, and Peng Fei and his class decided tonight to hold a wake for Wang Peng's comrades-in-arms.
When the lights-out horn sounded, the barracks outside the auditorium suddenly turned black and oppressive. Several lights were extinguished in the auditorium. At this time, the huge auditorium seemed a little dim.
"Squad leader, go back and take a rest, just have us here." Zhou Changzhi said to the Xia squad leader.
"It's okay, no need."
"But you're going to train with them tomorrow. How can I take them with me if I don't have a good rest......"
With a wave of his hand, squad leader Xia interrupted Zhou Changzhi's words: "It's okay, I'll train them the same." ”
Zhou Changzhi saw that he couldn't persuade the Xia squad leader, so he closed his mouth and stopped saying anything. At about eleven o'clock, an energy-saving lamp on the roof flashed twice, and then exploded with a "pop".
"Ahh He Bei screamed in fright, and fell directly from the horse to the ground.
"Look at your bear-like look, what's there to be afraid of, isn't it just a broken light?" Xia Ban scolded angrily.
"Coo-meow, coo-meow" There were a few owl calls outside.
"Pirates." He Bei poked Peng Fei, and then asked in a low voice, "You heard an owl chirping outside." I've heard that owls can smell dead people and ask, you say......"
"Don't think about it! The owl eats mice, and it comes for mice. When you sleep in your dorm room at night, don't you hear owls calling? ”
"I've heard that. But what do I think, the owl's cry tonight seems terrible. ”
"That's your mental effect, it's okay to relax."
The damn owl outside had just stopped calling when the meow, meow came again.
"Hey, pay attention." A high-ranking soldier nicknamed Scythe said: "Don't let the wild cats outside, because the spirituality of these cats and dogs will cause corpse fraud." "This sickle was originally surnamed Lian, called Lian Sheng. Maybe his parents wanted him to be an official in the future, so he took the name of Lian Sheng.
"Shut up! Don't give a here. ”
"Squad leader, it's not that I'm lying to confuse the public, it's that everyone in our village used to say so. I think there's some truth to what they're saying. ”
"There's a! Isn't it just a wild cat named Spring, where is it so evil? I tell you, if any of you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for tearing up his foul mouth. ”
Scythe lowered his head and stopped talking, but his expression still seemed a little uneasy. Wei Guo stabbed him with his hand, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, with Wang Peng's ability, even if you cheat the corpse and have a squad leader, you can do it alone." ”
Suddenly, the door to the Great Hall opened without warning, and a dark figure appeared outside the door. Peng Fei didn't think about it, picked up Mazha and threw it towards the black shadow. But the moment Maza flew out, he regretted it, because the dark shadow looked familiar. The shadow reacted quickly, and a shrunken neck and hidden head Maza flew over his head. Then came the angry roar of Company Commander Pei: "Who did this, dare to attack me with a Maza?" ”
"Report, I did it."
Lian Chang Pei came to Peng Fei angrily. Originally, he wanted to come over and take a look, and by the way, let Squad Leader Xia, Peng Fei and Zhang Xiaoquan go back to the dormitory to rest, after all, the bumps on the road are not good for sleep at all. But he didn't expect to be attacked as soon as he entered the door, can he not be angry. "Are you blind or stupid, don't you see it's me?"
"Report to the company commander, from my point of view, I can only see a black shadow in the shape of a human figure, and I can't see the appearance clearly at all. So everything I do is just an instinctive reaction. ”
"Instinctive reaction? What an instinctive reaction! Originally, I wanted you to go back to the dormitory to rest, but now, you can slowly react to me here. Company Commander Pei threw the maza in his hand at Peng Fei's feet with a bang, and then turned to Squad Leader Xia and Zhang Xiaoquan and said, "You two go back and rest and rest." Squad Leader Xia opened his mouth to say something, but Company Commander Pei continued: "This is an order." ”
"Yes." Squad Leader Xia and Zhang Xiaoquan went out with Company Commander Pei.
"Oh, wretched child!" Wei Guo patted Peng Fei on the shoulder.
I don't know why, as soon as the Xia squad leader and Zhang Xiaoquan left, the cat stopped calling and the bird stopped calling.
"Hey, listen." Lian Sheng said: "The wild cat and the owl were quite happy just now, but now they don't call." ”
"It's normal. Didn't you hear the squad leader say, it was a wild cat named Spring. The she-cat didn't take a fancy to her, and she still tried her best to call a fart, but didn't she bark at all. ”
"Well, the Grasshopper has a point." Since Wei Guo didn't have a nickname before, now everyone has given him such a nickname, called Grasshopper. "Hey He Bei, He Bei, why don't you speak!"
"What is there to say? It's not a taste to blame in my heart. Wang Peng: On the first day of his leave, he helped me do my laundry. Now it'......"
"You think it's just that you're uncomfortable, but it's not a taste in your heart? Ay! I watched a big living person walk out of the barracks gate, but when he came back, it was a corpse. What is this called? I don't know how that stupid driver drove the car. ”
"Life is so fragile that God can take it away quietly without even knowing it."
"Yo! Our college students sighed. ”
Peng Fei glanced at Lian Sheng, "I seem to have read this sentence in some magazine before, but at that time, I didn't have this kind of experience now." ”
Lian Sheng leaned Ma Zha towards Peng Fei, "You're an only child, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"Your family still has money for you to go to college, and it seems that your family's conditions are not bad, at least compared to the kitchen knife family. Do you know, there are many brothers in the kitchen knife family, and the conditions are not good, so he only went to junior high school for a few days. ”
"How do you know?" Peng Fei asked Lian Sheng: "Then if he didn't graduate from junior high school, how did he become a soldier?" ”
"If you want to talk about it, only me and the scissors know. The head of their village is cousins of the principal of a junior high school in their county. So the kitchen knife, their family spent money to ask the village chief to get him a junior high school graduation certificate. In this way, he came to be a soldier, otherwise how could the army have not had enough education. Because the money spent by the village chief at that time was borrowed from friends and neighbors, the kitchen knife could only send home all the monthly allowance. In this way, it took half a year to pay off all the debts. It was possible that he would have been transferred to a non-commissioned officer at the end of the year, and then he wanted to learn to drive. In order to go to the county to find a driver's errand after being discharged from the army, so that I and my family can live a slightly better life. But now...... Ay! ”
