Chapter Forty-Nine: The Journey
The farewell ceremony is still so old-fashioned, and there is nothing new. But when he got into the big sedan car, through the window, Peng Fei saw his mother silently wiping the corners of his eyes. At this time, he suddenly felt that his throat and eyes were like a lump of cotton, and then his eye circles began to heat up a little. Peng Fei hurriedly withdrew his gaze from the car window. "You unproductive fellow, what is there to cry about. Think about how you laughed at people in the first place. He cursed himself in his heart, then lowered his head and held back his tears.
When the car drove slowly, Peng Fei heard a sobbing sound from behind him. When he looked back, it turned out that Liu Liuzheng was in his seat, wiping his tears with the sleeves of his clothes while crying. After seeing this, Peng Fei's tears, which had been held back, were a little impatient.
"Alright, cry if you want. Male not without tears, not sprinkled in front of the enemy. After speaking, Wang Zhifei also threw over a roll of toilet paper.
Peng Fei took the toilet paper, tore off a piece and handed it to Liu Liu.
"Give me a little too." Wei Guo, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head and said to Peng Fei. At this time, Wei Guo's tears also overflowed his eyes. After he took the toilet paper handed over by Peng Fei, he quickly turned around and wiped it.
And Peng Fei himself tore a strip and silently wiped away his tears. Crying is a kind of emotional catharsis, when you cry, you will feel no longer uncomfortable; Or rather, it's better. So when the car drove into a military camp in the county, the three recruits were alive again.
Peng Fei once came to this military camp, and that was when he was conducting military training in high school. "Platoon commander, why are we here?" Peng Fei asked inexplicably. Because, this is not the unit they are going to serve.
"This was our meeting point. After the recruits from the other towns and villages in the county arrived, everyone set off from here. With that, Wang Zhifei took them to a barracks. Rest here for a while, and I'll call you back when you're eating. Then, Wang Zhifei turned around and went out.
Peng Fei looked around, this barracks should be for students who had participated in military training. After the students' military training was completed, they were empty. Now there is nothing in it except a few bare beds and a few tin cabinets.
The three of them threw their luggage on the bed casually. Then there was a casual chatter. Until noon, Wang Zhifei took them to the canteen to eat. They arrived a little late, and the officers and soldiers in the barracks had already begun to eat. So they didn't get to appreciate the song before the meal like a wolf howling.
When they returned to the barracks, Wang Zhifei instructed them: "I am going to another town to lead the troops immediately, so you don't run around, just stay here for the time being." ”
"Yes."
"Platoon commander, aren't we going to the county's farewell ceremony?" Wei Guo asked.
"That's none of your business." Wang Zhifei threw down a sentence and left.
"Why does it have nothing to do with us? Then why didn't you say this when you were conscripted? Wei Guo said indignantly.
"Someone must have gone on our behalf, so it's none of our business." Peng Fei said: "You see, we have three recruits in one town, and some towns will definitely have more than three. But the county holds a farewell ceremony every year, and there are only seven or eight recruits standing on the rostrum, so it is definitely not all of them, but some of the representatives. ”
"Damn, others were sent off twice when they went to be soldiers, and when it was Lao Tzu's turn, how could it become once."
After a while, Peng Fei proposed, "Why don't we go out and have a look, so we don't have to sit here." ”
Liu Liu hesitated a little, "This is not very good, what if you run into a chief or something?" ”
"If you touch it, he can still eat us. Besides, we don't go to the door of the chief's office, how can we run into each other so easily. ”
"Wei Guo is right. At that time, when the two of us were in high school, the school conducted military training, and it was in this barracks. So I knew that as long as I bypassed the building in the back, it would be the * field of the barracks. Let's go there together and see how they train? ”
"That's fine." Liu Liu stood up and followed Peng Fei and Wei Guo out of the barracks.
When they came to the edge of the field, they didn't see the veteran training, but they saw three liberation trucks driving into the field. Then in the shouts of the veterans, a group of recruits jumped out of the car, wearing the same bare camouflage uniforms as Peng Fei and them.
After all the recruits jumped out of the car, the veterans began to shout again: "Stand in four rows according to height, hurry!" ”
It doesn't matter if this shout is messed up in an instant. Some people think they are taller than others, and they squeeze in front of them; Some people feel that they don't seem to be much shorter, and they want to squeeze forward. In this way, two people were knocked to the ground, causing Peng Fei and the three of them to laugh.
"What's ridiculous!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind them, startling them. Looking back, it turned out to be a second lieutenant with a picture of one dime and one military rank. "What class are you from, and what are you doing here?"
"Report to the chief." Peng Fei replied: "Our service unit is the XX Military Region, and now we are here for a short rest. ”
"Oh, I see." The second lieutenant's tone softened a little. Then he glanced at the uneven, tall, crooked queue of recruits on the field and said, "You're not qualified to laugh at them here." Alright, go back to the barracks where you are resting. ”
"Yes."
In this way, the three of them returned to the barracks, only to be bombarded back. Because he was really bored, Peng Fei leaned on his luggage and began to play the game on his mobile phone. This mobile phone was bought for him by his father a few days ago, so that it would be easier for him to call home. Wei Guo lay on the heated bed with his eyes closed, and Liu Liuzhi took out a martial arts novel from his luggage and read it with relish.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Wang Zhifei pushed the door in. It's just that he was followed by five people, all wearing the same camouflage uniforms as Peng Fei and them. Peng Fei and the others saw Wang Zhifei coming in, and they all quickly stood up. And Wang Zhifei pointed to the five people behind him and said: "They are from S Town, you will all be comrades-in-arms in the future, get to know each other." Okay, I'll go out for a while and come back in a moment. ”
After Wang Zhifei went out, the five people each found a place to sit down, and they didn't speak, just sat with their heads bored. Maybe it's because after they left home, the discomfort in their hearts hasn't passed.
