Chapter 112 A City Anecdote (Ninety-one) Guards the Box
In the fifteen minutes before the lights went out, most of the regiment's 'pickets' were ready to take up their posts, and when Guo Xiaosong led Liu Minda out of the gate, he only heard that the direction of the guards was crowded, and nearly 100 people gathered here, so Guo Xiaosong did not continue to move forward.
'What are you doing up there?' Liu Min saw that Guo Xiaosong was not moving forward, so he said curiously.
Maybe the pickets are planning to go out and 'squat', let's stay for a while, and then I'll find my fellow and let him take us out!" In the regimental picket, although Guo Xiaosong knows people, but after all, the leader is the 'picket captain', he is a cadre, and he obviously hit the muzzle of the gun, so he will be exempted, and then Guo Xiaosong led Liu Min back to the vegetable cellar, pushed the electric switch, and a 100W light bulb turned on.
'It's cold, it's cold, there's clothes over there!' The first thing I do when I enter the cellar is to find out if there are rats in it, and if I don't check it one night, it may become a 'rat nest', and the next day there will be a lot of rats, and the vegetables buried in the sand and the vegetables on the shelves will suffer.
It was cold under the vegetable cellar, and before she lit the stove, Liu Min really felt cold, and before she grabbed a training uniform and didn't wait to put it on, the smell of oil and smoke on the clothes was already choking her to the point of suffocation.
'What does this smell like, is this dress yours!' Liu Min found it hard to believe that Guo Xiaosong in her eyes had always been a clean person, but when did he learn to be sloppy.
'Oh, that's really not mine, or you go up first, and then you come down when I have the stove lit!' From the open space in the boiler room, Guo Xiaosong found some 'coal face' on weekdays, and made some 'coal billets' with the soil. Although the heat of this thing is not very large, but it is enough to warm up the vegetable cellar, in the stove set up chopping wood, ignited a few newspapers, Guo Xiaosong is very skillful to light the fire, after ten minutes or so, after more than ten meters of furnace tube, the temperature in the vegetable cellar is also up.
'Come down, the stove is ready!' ’
Liu Min came down from the shelter and said, 'Oops. Your stove is good, and there's no smoke in it! Although the courtyard of his grandfather's house is large, he can still use a boiler for heating, and Liu Min thinks that the small boiler of 100,000 yuan is really not as good as the design in the cellar.
"You can't burn too hot here, or the food will rot, if you want to say whether there is smoke or not, it mainly depends on the quality of your stove rack, which was done by our old cooking squad leader last year." The walls are all rebuilt, and the smoke is all in this wall, and you don't see four chimneys on it, and they are smoking. Guo Xiaosong has done a lot of housework when he was a child, and he is very interested in the theory of this stove, but she has never made a stove by herself.
I looked at the 'horseshoe table' on the side. Guo Xiaosong asked, 'What time does your hotel close?' ’
I don't know, maybe it's not closed! ’
It doesn't seem to be useful to ask you. Wait another hour, wait for the picket captain to go back to sleep, let's set off again, this B is a black-faced character, I'm really a little afraid of him! Saying that, Guo Xiaosong took a book, sat on the Mazha stool and read it.
'Yo, and the man you are afraid of, what a ruler he is! ’
'Lieutenant, a dime,'
'It's a lieutenant, no wonder, it's normal to be a soldier who is not afraid of big officials, and it's normal to be afraid of small officials, and county officials are better off being in charge! After taking the 'Walkman' that Ai Xiaomeng returned to Guo Xiaosong, Liu Min was fiddling back and forth, this 'Walkman' was the most expensive gift Guo Xiaosong gave to Ai Xiaomeng earlier, Ai Xiaomeng usually uses it very carefully, for many years, it has not been worn, and even the outer protective film has not been removed.
'You don't move that thing, it's not mine!' Guo Xiaosong was reading a book while peeking at Liu Min.
"Isn't it just that I'm afraid of the tape recorder, I don't move if I don't move, and I'm angry!" Liu Min finally found the end of the 'Walkman', neatly writing a row of small characters with a pen, 'Give it to my beloved Ai Xiaomeng!' ’
At more than ten o'clock in the night, still not waiting for Liu Min to return to the hotel, the No. 7 'Brother Wang' of the 'Iron and Blood Group' finally got out, grabbed his mobile phone, and called Liu Min's mother, 'It's my sister-in-law, Liu Min hasn't come back yet!' ’
Liu Min is the only daughter of her parents, she is pampered on weekdays, she can make friends, she never goes home more than eight or nine o'clock, and when she puts down the phone of 'Brother Wang', Liu Min's mother said to her husband, 'Hey, is there something wrong, Xiao Min hasn't gone back yet!' ’
'What's wrong, I expect her to be on Guo Xiaosong's side, don't think too much, after a while, Guo Xiaosong can't go to school, let's go home! It is no wonder that the number one commander of the 'Beijing Garrison' is concurrently served by the deputy commander of the 'Beijing Military Region', and although he is a deputy commander, he also has to preside over the overall work, and when he reads, he is only free after work.
"Tell me about you, a dignified major general of the national army, you don't want to go with a soldier, you really have the ability, if you spread it, I think you are afraid of Guo Xiaosong!" Liu Min's mother was not in a hurry when she saw her husband, so she went to take a bath.
'I'm afraid of him?' Grandma, even if his third uncle comes, I'm not afraid of him, I'm letting him, if it weren't for our Xiaomin looking for him all day long, I would have been ~,' Halfway through the conversation, Deputy Commander Liu saw that no one listened to him, so he stopped talking.
At half past ten o'clock in the night, Guo Xiaosong once again led Liu Min to the gate of the regiment, and as soon as he approached, he heard the doorman's side, the 'picket captain' was criticizing his team members, "I said what you usually do to eat, the big ones of one meter and eight are all white, and I can't catch someone climbing over the wall!" ’
"Captain, that B ran too fast, and the two of us chased several streets, but we still let him run!" 'Being tall doesn't mean running fast, the 'pickets' are dressed in steel helmets and leather shoes on weekdays, and they don't train, how can they compare with the soldiers of this infantry company, they can only rely on familiar analysis, but they can't catch the current situation, and there is no way to do it.
Guo Xiaosong saw that the 'picket captain' hadn't left yet, so he said to Liu Min, 'Let's go to the other end of the oil depot, the wall is low over there, I'll push you up!' ’
'Who! Before Liu Min could speak, the flashlight of the 'picket captain' also shook here.
'Run! Guo Xiaosong's first reaction was to leave here as much as possible, pull Liu Min and run.
The two 'pickets' who had just been trained by the 'picket captain' saw that they were trading again, how could they let it go, and they rushed over, they bit Guo Xiaosong and Liu Min and chased them back to the vicinity of the vegetable cellar.
Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Guo Xiaosong simply stopped running, and after standing, he shouted loudly, "Is it to give you face, and I don't see who I am, I still chase, I have the ability to chase outside the wall!" ’
The two 'pickets' also knew Guo Xiaosong, and they had also drunk the wine that Guo Xiaosong brought to his fellow countrymen, so they said, 'Squad leader Guo, in the middle of the night, you still ask us, what is going on with you!' ’
Guo Xiaosong let go of Liu Min's hand at this time, "She is my object, she came to see me in the group during the day, and I just wanted to send her out,'
'Send her out, then what are you running, it's not that our captain doesn't know you!' ’
'I don't know why, if you chase me, of course I'll have to run!' ’
The two 'picket captains' said in unison, "Squad Leader Guo, since you haven't gone out, don't go out tonight, the seventh leader ordered us to guard at the gate of the regiment, and there are several 'squatting pits' points, no matter who it is, after ten o'clock, we won't let it!" ’
"Oh, I see, no wonder your captain doesn't go back to sleep, by the way, your squad leader?" The 'squad leader' that Guo Xiaosong refers to is naturally his hometown.
"I also went out, where to squat, we don't know, maybe it's the ammunition depot, maybe it's the oil depot, recently there have been a few cases reported in the local area, and it also involves soldiers, so whether it's our regiment people going out to squat, the entire garrison of other troops, there are people outside, you go out so late, if you meet our people, it's easy to say, if you meet other troops, it's not good to say, and then a whole garrison report, you are a sinner of our 'Iron and Blood Regiment'!" The words that had just been trained by the 'picket captain' immediately came in handy, and a 'picket' came to learn and sell and educated Guo Xiaosong.
In desperation, Guo Xiaosong had no choice but to say, 'Then you go back and talk to your squad leader, let him have time to come over, and I will introduce him to a few fellow countrymen, drink two cups together, and get together!' ’
'I'm so tired, we're going to get there!' ’
Returning to the vegetable cellar, he pressed two more 'coal billets' into the stove, and Guo Xiaosong paced back and forth.
"If you don't let you go out, you won't go out, anyway, it's dawning early now, and it's so warm here, if you can't deal with it for a night!" Liu Min was very open, pulled Guo Xiaosong's 'housekeeping', draped it on his body, walked to a broken table, lay flat, and talked to Guo Xiaosong while looking at the tree shelves above his head.
'It's too humid at night here, you're not afraid of freezing,'
'You are not afraid, what am I afraid of,'
'Are you hungry?' ’
'You have nothing but turnips and cabbage, what is there to eat!' Liu Min turned over and came to a lying position.
'Who said I only have this, you look at it, I will change, what is this?' Guo Xiaosong moved quickly, and as soon as his two hands crossed slightly, he 'transformed' into an object.
'Instant noodles! ’
Don't worry, hey, what do you think this is? ’
'Ham sausage! Liu Min was really hungry.
"I've been leaving this thing for a long time, I almost forgot it," Guo Xiaosong looked at the factory date of the instant noodles at the light, but fortunately it had not expired, so he took out the 'alcohol pot', wiped it with toilet paper indiscriminately, walked out of the cellar, and went to the other end of the water pipe to fetch water.
When Guo Xiaosong came back, he found that Liu Min had already unearthed all his 'stocks', including a bag of 'shrimp crackers', which Guo Xiaosong planned to leave for Ai Xiaomeng to eat, as well as a bottle of 'Erguotou' and two small bags of 'spiced peanuts'. (To be continued......)
