According to the instructions of their superiors, the 3rd Company of the Red Regiment had their field training area in the area of Fangniugou, which meant that they usually trained in the mountains and had to rest at night in a village called Fangniugou.

At this time, the officers and men of the third company were resting on the side of the road, some people took out dry food and were eating, some took off their shoes and massaged the soles of their feet, and some people did not feel tired and kept talking to the people next to them, talking about the mountains.

The commander of the third company opened the march map, and he was looking for the location of this cattle herding ditch on the map, but he couldn't find it.

He called Guo Kaiqing to his side and said, "You help me take a look, why can't I find this place called Niufanggou." ”

Guo Kaiqing looked at the map while looking at the mountains in the distance.

This time they marched on foot. They only had three days' worth of dry rations with them, and the instructions given to them by their superiors said that they should go to the cattle herding ditch within three days, and the supplies they were supplied to were transported to their destination by military vehicles long before them, along with the cooking squad of the third company.

Guo Kaiqing couldn't understand the map, the map said that there was obviously a river in this place, but he only saw the mountains, and he didn't see the shadow of the river at all, and he shook his head helplessly.

This place is really vast and sparsely populated, and they have been walking for two days, and only a handful of people they have seen. Now when they're looking for their destination, there's really no one around.

Seeing the tired soldiers, Guo Kaiqing said to the third company commander: "Company commander, I will take two people to go first, go to explore the road, if you find it, I will call someone back to report the news, you can rest for a while." ”

The commander of the third company also looked at the soldiers around him, nodded to Guo Kaiqing, and signaled his agreement.

Guo Kaiqing called two veterans on the road, there is no road ahead, except for the mountain beam is the mountain bag, the terrain here is very similar to the border when he was fighting, he was a reconnaissance squad leader back then, and he is even more familiar with road exploration, and it didn't take long to find a way.

At this moment, a fellow came from the opposite side, Guo Kaiqing stepped forward to stop him, and asked, "Big brother, how do you go to the cow ditch?" ”

The man looked at Guo Kaiqing and the three of them as soldiers, and his face was not very good, and he said, "I don't know what to do." With that, he left.

The two veterans still wanted to go up and ask more, but asked Guo Kaiqing to stop him, he knew that the Taoist people didn't want to say it, and it was pointless for you to ask again.

They stood on a small hill and saw a small village not far from the bottom of the mountain, Guo Kaiqing said: "Maybe there is a cattle ditch below, let's go down and have a look." ”

After that, a few people got off the mountain and went straight to the village.

The people in this village were quite kind, and when they saw Guo Kaiqing, they rushed to say hello.

Guo Kaiqing explained his intentions, and someone led them to meet the head of the village.

The village chief said to Guo Kaiqing: "Fangniugou is not far from the five-mile road, but you are a foreigner and you are not familiar with the road, so I will ask someone to send you there." ”

Guo Kaiqing thanked him and returned to the resting place of the third company with the people he sent.

The leader was a young offspring, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very short. His hometown dialect made the third company commander and Guo Kaiqing feel uncomfortable, and often after people finished speaking, they had to add a sentence: You speak slowly.

Because they didn't understand the first sentence at all.

I heard from the passers-by that there was originally a river here, which was many years ago, and now the river has long since dried up, and coupled with the strong winds for many years, the original location of the river has long been filled.

At this time, Guo Kaiqing looked at the map carefully, obediently, the factory time of this map is 1956, no wonder the military region asked them to come down for training, even China's own army can't find a place in its own territory, how can it really start a war.

The five-mile road mentioned by the village chief refers to the straight-line distance on the map. The officers and men of the third company walked for five hours, and at first everyone thought that the five-mile road was nothing, and a small attack was just enough, and they were still in high spirits, singing songs and striding forward.

Later, they were so tired that they were like deserters, throwing away their armor and not looking like soldiers at all.

The passers-by looked at them and smiled secretly, Guo Kaiqing said: "These soldiers are all used to staying in the city, and they are not used to it when they come out, don't laugh at it." ”

The passer-by said: "Carrying a backpack and a gun, no one can stand it after walking such a long way, I just laughed at them and really thought that this is a five-mile road, and we have to cross many mountains and mountain beams." ”

Just as they saw the "cattle gourd", they found that the front of the village road was blocked by a few large trees and railings.

When he left, the commander of the third company gave him two boxes of cigarettes in his pocket, even if it was a reward for leading the way, the leader said thank you, and ran across the hill with a smoke.

The commander of the third company ordered the troops to tidy up their uniforms, and after resting for a while, they organized everyone to set off. When they reached the railing, a villager stopped them.

The villagers said, "Where are you from and what are you going to do here?" ”

Guo Kaiqing stepped forward and said: "We are the People's Liberation Army, and our superiors ordered us to come here for training, and our people have already agreed with your village." ”

The villager said, "You wait here, and I will ask the village chief to go." ”

After that, he arranged for another person to go to the village to report the news.

This person went for two hours, and the commander of the third company had no choice but to tell the troops to rest in place and wait for the village chief to pick them up.

When the village chief arrived, he did not come alone, but brought a group of people, all of whom were elders and men in the village, all over forty years old.

One of them said, "Which of you is an official, come here." ”

The third company commander and Guo Kaiqing both walked over, Guo Kaiqing pointed to the third company commander and said: "This is our company commander, I am the deputy company commander, and we have the final say here." ”

It was obviously the village chief who spoke just now, and he said, "It's good to have someone in charge, let's go to the side and talk." ”

As he spoke, he took the third company commander and Guo Kaiqing to the big tree on the side of the road.

The commander of the third company and Guo Kaiqing learned from the mouth of the village chief that this place was the cattle herding ditch.

Because the ancestors had the habit of raising cattle, the cattle herding ditch slowly became the name of the place.

The village chief said: "Before you came, the township said hello, but I didn't count it alone, I had to discuss it with the village elders, so I came out a little late." ”

The commander of the third company said on the side: "The garrison is a major matter, and it should be discussed after discussion." ”

The village chief and the third company commander, Guo Kaiqing, they talked politely for a while, but they didn't say anything about letting them enter the village, which made the third company commander feel very puzzled, they always felt that the village chief was embarrassed to say something directly.

After the last moment, Guo Kaiqing opened the topic and said: "Village chief, if you have something in your heart, just say it directly, what's the difficulty?" ”

The village chief looked at Guo Kaiqing's anxious appearance and said, "Child, to be honest, our village will let you live, I don't count what I said." ”

The third company commander said: "Aren't you the village chief, who has the final say if you say it?" ”

The village chief said: "There are more than 40 households in our village, and it is said that the village is a natural tun, which was under the management of the big village in front of us a few years ago, and then let us build the village by ourselves, so that I became the village head. ”

Guo Kaiqing said: "That's easy to do, let's just go to him, you always lead the way." ”

The village chief said, "Okay, you don't have to explain to the troops, and then follow me." ”

Guo Kaiqing and the third company commander said: "You stay here, I can do it alone." ”

The commander of the third company agreed to let Guo Kaiqing leave with the village chief.

The village chief took Guo Kaiqing to a small hill, which is an orchard that covers a large area, and three tiled houses are neatly built in front of the orchard.

The village chief said: "Here, this is the old Chen family, half of the people in our village are surnamed Chen, and the parents of the old Chen family are still the elders of the village, so he said it in this village, if he lets you live, it will definitely be no problem." ”

Guo Kaiqing entered the house with the village chief, there was no one in the house, the village chief asked Guo Kaiqing to sit down first, he went to find someone, and after a while, an elderly man in his fifties walked in, Guo Kaiqing immediately got up and saluted.

The elder said, "Sit down, you have something to say." ”

The elder made a pot of tea for the village chief and Guo Kaiqing, poured it for each of them, and said: "Yesterday, the village chief came to me and told me, I said that you should be in charge, why did you come to me today." ”

The village chief hurriedly said: "Lao Chen, I am a tablet in this village, and you have to make up your mind about major matters, if you don't nod, how can I have such courage." ”

The elder smiled and said, "You are still timid, okay, you are not ignorant of the rules of our village, and you still use it to ask me." The village chief was silent.

Guo Kaiqing felt very strange and said, "Uncle, what are the rules, can you tell me no?" ”

The elder said: "What can't be said, that is, don't deal with the soldiers, you come here, we won't let you live, you go far away as soon as possible, so as not to make me angry." ”

Guo Kaiqing said: "When we met for the first time, we didn't offend your village, where did you say that." ”

The elder said, "We have this rule, it has been more than 20 years, and it has not changed, young man, you better go, your leader will definitely forgive you." ”

Guo Kaiqing wanted to say something, but the village chief stopped him and pulled Guo Kaiqing out of the room.

Along the way, the village chief accompanied Guo Kaiqing vigorously, and said: "Let's let him have the final say, and the rules are set by him, so I took you to find him, do you see it, it's not easy to say, you better change the village." ”

Guo Kaiqing returned to the resting place of the third company, and told the reason to the commander of the third company, and the commander of the third company said: "What can I do about this, it will be dark soon, it is now more than six o'clock, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, by the way, Kaiqing, you didn't ask about the supply and cooking class?" ”

Guo Kaiqing said: "I forgot to ask the village chief, I'll ask right away." With that, he ran to the village.

The village chief walked very slowly, and before he could walk over the railing, Guo Kaiqing stopped, and when he learned that he was asking about the cooking class and supplies, the village chief said: "They are all in the township, and they are more than 50 miles away from here." ”

Guo Kaiqing said: "Uncle, you see that we are not familiar with the place, can you get us something to eat?" We didn't eat it, we finished eating and left. ”

The village chief said: "Do you have money, you have everything." ”

Guo Kaiqing took out ten sheets of unity and said, "Are these enough?" ”

The village chief said: "You let me see what these are doing, I mean, there is a consignment point in the village, you go and buy some ready-made, after eating, I will ask someone to show you the way, you just go to the township." ”

Guo Kaiqing called two soldiers and went with him to buy food at the village sales office, although the village was not big, but there was everything to eat, they bought some bread, pig's head meat, and some soda back, and the officers and soldiers of the third company had dinner on the side of the road.

Just as everyone was about to finish eating, the village chief brought a young man to the front and said, "He is my son, you can go with him, he will take you to the township, I have called the township, you get there, they have all arranged." ”

The commander of the third company said some words of thanks, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the young man, "Brother, thank you for your hard work." ”

The young man took the cigarette and put it to his ear and said, "Smoke it later." ”

The people of the third company were led out of the cattle ditch by the young man, because they started marching at four o'clock in the morning that day, and the people were even more sleepy and tired at the end of the day, and now it was dark again, and people kept falling into the ditch on the side of the road.

Guo Kaiqing shouted loudly: "Look at it, don't be blind, you can't see the road clearly." ”

This sentence makes people very uncomfortable to hear, and it is no wonder that this hero has not encountered such a thing for a long time. The soldiers stopped talking and walked silently behind Guo Kaiqing.
