- Shematun

At that time, the troops had the task of pulling and training every year, and the so-called training was to pull the troops outside the barracks for training, and the training in the barracks was like talking about troops on paper, and only when they were pulled into the field could they be combined with actual combat. After all, China's army grew up from guerrilla warfare, and after so many years, the troops were pulled out for training, and they still used the guerrilla tactics of the past - finding a few villages as camps, and then combining the local terrain and topography for combat training. This kind of training has two advantages: First, it enhances the troops' ability to actually fight battles, and second, it has brought the military-civilian relations closer together, so that the common people can truly feel the affection between the soldiers and the people.

Before the troops set off for training, the combat department of the division organ first inspected the terrain, and the terrain must be conducive to combat training, and then the logistics department came forward to go to the houses of the common people around the villages around the terrain, that is, to borrow the houses of the common people as the soldiers' dormitories.

The house was already numbered when the army set out. The troops set out in full armor, and the soldiers carried luggage, water bottles, and firearms, and the cooking utensils of the cooking squad were also carried on their shoulders, and hurried forward with the troops. It was as if war had really broken out, and the troops were rushing to the position.

The police communication company departed with the divisional organs, and was located in the middle of the entire team. Tamura walked in the queue, and although it was only a training exercise, he still found a sense of tragedy in it, as if the troops were not training, but rushing to the front line. Walking in the queue, a high melody surged in his heart, and this melody was the "March of the Chinese People's Liberation Army", heroic and agitated.

Along the way, many fellow villagers came out to see the excitement, adults and children were all elated, and they were attracted by the weapons carried by the soldiers in the team from time to time, and some said: Look, it is a light machine gun, and there are cannons...... Seeing the mighty team, in addition to the novelty, the villagers also have a sense of steadfastness, the soldiers in front of them are mighty and magnificent, and the people have a reason to live a down-to-earth and stable life.

The troops were moved to the designated place, and the divisional organs were arranged in a place called Shematun. The first task to be carried out is that the leader is responsible for the dormitory. There is nothing else in the countryside, but there are many houses, and no matter how nervous the family is, it is still no problem to vacate a house. There were many villagers standing in front of the troops, they were here to receive people, and the list was made before this, and the company commander called out according to the list.

When the company commander called Su Xiaoxiao's house, a girl in red clothes walked out of the crowd, she was wearing a single braid, and she looked neat and neat. She said generously: There are six people in my family.

So, the company commander shouted out six people in the queue, and these six people were all in the third shift, including Tamura and Liu Dong.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at the six soldiers: The six of you are from our family, my name is Su Xiaoxiao, the size is small, I can't find a home in the future, just remember my name.

It was this girl's toothy smile that made Tamura's eyes light up, and a very comfortable feeling flowed through his heart, this girl was the same as Shi Lan from the Normal Hospital, she was a girl who made people shine, but the two were different. Shi Lan was a little arrogant, but Su Xiaoxiao in front of her was natural and beautiful. With this feeling, Tamura had the desire to speak, and he took a few steps forward to catch up with Su Xiaoxin: Girl-

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and smiled at him: Call me Su Xiaoxiao in the future, you girl girl, who knows who you call.

Tamura smiled embarrassedly and asked again: Why are you called Shematun here?

Su Xiaoxiao and Tamura walked side by side and said, "Have you heard of Temujin?"

Temujin? Of course I do.

At that time, Temujin led the team to fight here, and we had a war horse tied here, and we called it this name in the future.

Tamura sighed: Oh, then your tunzi is about to become a historical relic.

Everyone came to Su Xiaoxiao's house with a smile. There was an eldest lady sitting in the courtyard, the eldest lady greeted her with a smile, and she rushed in Su Xiaoxiao: Ah, the soldier is here?

Mom, there are six.

The eldest lady stood up, still smiling, and Su Xiaoxiao said to the soldiers: This is my mother, she can't see with her eyes.

Tamura looked at the eldest lady and his heart sank. When they entered the door, they saw a sign of martyrs hanging under the eaves, and Tamura's heart was shocked again, he pulled Liu Dong's clothes and said: Look-

Liu Dong glanced in the direction of his finger and said: I see.

After they lived in Su Xiaoxiao's house for a few days, they learned that Su Xiaoxiao's father was a martyr, who used to be a platoon commander in the army, and went to the battlefield during the self-defense counterattack on Zhenbao Island, when Su Xiaoxiao was eight years old, and his father died in that battle. The mother couldn't believe the facts in front of her, and led Su Xiaoxiao to stand at the entrance of the village all day long and look out, crying while watching, and no one persuaded her to return. The mother always thought that one day, her husband would appear at the head of the village in a military uniform, as before. Two years later, when Su Xiaoxiao was ten years old, her mother's eyes were blind.

Su Xiaoxiao's house is a three-room red brick and blue-tiled house, which was built at the expense of the commune, and the small courtyard is very tidy, with some flowers and plants planted on the side of the courtyard wall.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped studying after graduating from junior high school, and she returned to her hometown to farm and earn work. may have just left school, and she doesn't look like a rural girl at all, she smiles when she sees people, and she is naturally pitiful.

There are three rooms, Su Xiaoxiao and her mother live in the east, the middle one is the stove room, and the west side lives on a kang with six soldiers. After they went into the house and put down their backpacks, they carried the water and swept the yard. The troops had been mobilized before the training, and now the soldiers are doing everything on a mission, and they want to leave a good impression on their fellow countrymen. Even though the water in the tank was full and the yard was clean, they worked hard.

Su Xiaoxiao was really busy, she was boiling water in the stove room for a while, and then carrying a basin full of water to the courtyard, beckoning everyone to wash their faces.

The eldest lady sat there quietly, smiling and listening to the movements of the soldiers as they were busy. When everything was quiet, she came over, trembled her hands, took the soldiers and said, "Children, come and let the eldest lady see."

After speaking, the eldest lady's hand touched the faces of the soldiers one by one, and said as she touched them: Yes, they all have fine skin and tender meat.

Su Xiaoxiao teased her mother and said: Mom, what do you think of them?

Needless to say? Everyone who is a soldier is good. After the eldest lady finished speaking, she said to Su Xiaoxiao: These soldiers are your brothers, you have to take care of them in the future, don't let them be wronged in our family.

When the eldest lady said this, she seemed to be emotional, and she stretched out her hand again to wipe away her tears.

Su Xiaoxiao said: Mom, you're here again, didn't you say okay, why are you sad again.

When the eldest lady heard this, she wiped her face and said: Children, you will live here in the future, don't be polite if you have anything, we are a family. As he spoke, he also pointed to the sign on the door with his hand: See, we are military martyrs, and his father is also a member of the army, and he died in the year of Zhenbao Island.

Liu Dong looked at everything in front of him, and thought of his home, how familiar and kind everything here is. Seeing this, he suddenly felt like crying. He hugged Su Xiaoxiao's mother and said: Auntie, you're welcome, you will treat us as your own children in the future.

That's a good idea. The eldest lady nodded happily.

Tamura seemed to be very interested in the sign hanging on the lintel, and he stood there looking left and right, and something uneasy was surging in his heart.

Brother, what are you looking at, sit down and rest for a while. Su Xiao wrote and handed over a stool.

Tamura didn't move, stood there, saluted the sign in a dignified manner, and then turned around and said: Behind each martyr's card is a hero's story.

At this time, the assembly horn sounded, and the direction of the horn sounded was the threshing floor in the tunzi. The trumpet was an order, and the warriors ran neatly in the direction of the trumpet.

This is how the training life of Shematun began.

As soon as the sky dawned, the loud wake-up call pierced the quiet dawn of Xiematun. The songs and slogans of the troops rang out alternately, and from then on, Shematun became lively.

When Tamura, Liu Dong and the others returned to Su Xiaoxiao's house, Su Xiaoxiao had already poured water in their basins and tooth jars. At this time, she was busy in the stove room, and the fire of the stove was reflected red on her face, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The soldiers looked at the water in the basin and were very moved, and after they squatted or stood on the ground to wash their faces and brush their teeth, someone picked up a broom and swept the very clean courtyard again. At this time, the trumpet sounded for the meal, and the soldiers lined up again to run to eat.

This is followed by field training. Shematun is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and training is naturally carried out on the mountains. The soldiers were fully armed and crawled on the mountain, and it was not until the lights of the houses in Shematun were lit that the troops ended their training. Along the way, the soldiers reported to the villagers of Shematun with loud songs: We are back.

Stepping into Su Xiaoxiao's house, looking at the rows of basins and bedding, Liu Dong's heart rippled. This kind of normal rural life made him feel intimate and warm, and he felt like he was back at home.

Su Xiaoxiao sat quietly in the courtyard, watching the soldiers wash and smile. She smiled and said to the soldiers: "It's been a tiring day, let's rest early after washing."

The soldiers didn't seem to be tired, and after washing, they gathered around Su Xiaoxiao in twos and threes, saying some indifferent words. Looking at such a beautiful and demure girl in front of him, who would want to leave?

Tamura said: You don't want to do this in the future. If the leaders see you taking care of us so much, we will be criticized.

No, the military and civilians are a family, and I should help you do something. When speaking, Su Xiaoxiao's expression was both innocent and mischievous.

Liu Dong also said: Really, we are all used to it, but as soon as you fetch us water and lay quilts, we are not used to it.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak immediately, stared at the ground under his feet with a pair of talking eyes, and said faintly for a long time: When I was young, every time my father came back from the army, I gave him a face wash. During the day, he took me to the mountains to play, and my friends envied me for having a father who was a soldier. Later, my father died, and I never entered my house as a soldier again, and this is the first time in so many years.

Her voice was choked. Everyone looked at her and felt very uncomfortable.

Ah, Brother Bing is tired for a day, let them rest early. The lady in the back room greeted them.

Got it. Su Xiaoxiao responded to the dark inner room.

The soldiers also greeted the eldest mother: Auntie, you can rest first, we are not tired.

In the windless dark night, the stars are really bright, and occasionally a meteor passes by the distant sky. Su Xiaoxiao picked up the small stool under him and said, "You guys should rest too, you have to get up early tomorrow to."

Lying in the quilt laid out by Su Xiaoxiao, several people couldn't sleep for a while, and there seemed to be still the smell between Su Xiaoxiao's fingers on the quilt, which was a faint fragrance of wild flowers. The smell lingered in the hearts of the warriors for a long time, lingering and refusing to disperse.

Liu Dong lay on the kang and had a feeling of going home again. The kang under him was warm, and he felt more comfortable from head to toe, which reminded him of his mother, brother and sister. Thinking of his sister, his heart suddenly struck, his sister married Hu Xiaohu, it was all for him, in order to make him a soldier, his sister married Hu Xiaohu who he didn't like; And he has been in the army for more than a year, and in more than a year, his service will expire, and he should leave the army. In the next year or so, will he still be able to "make a living"? If you can't "get out", what face do you have to meet your relatives!

The night was quiet, with the occasional dog barking or two in the distance, and the occasional command to check the sentry could be heard.

Liu Dong's thoughts drifted far away for a while. It's so warm here, if he can live here all the time, it's also a good choice, thinking of this, he thinks of the cute and generous Su Xiaoxiao. He didn't know how he could have such a thought, and then he felt his face suddenly hot, and his body also warmed up, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he turned over and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

Tamura, who was in the same room, didn't fall asleep at this time, and all he was thinking about was Su Xiaoxiao. For him, Su Xiaoxiao is new, and this newness makes him feel new and beautiful. In the past, he knew all the girls in the city, but Su Xiaoxiao was very different from those girls, she was like a wildflower blooming in the mountains, warm and fresh. The first time he saw her, he was struck by her unadorned beauty. He was willing to hear her voice, and he was willing to see her face, and her smile was like the warm winter sun, which made his heart pound.

Su Xiaoxiao was sleeping in the east room at this moment, and although he couldn't have heard any noise there, he still tensed every nerve in his body, which made him both excited and novel. The feeling of first love tormented him so deeply and shallowly.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't sleep peacefully as usual tonight, and since these soldiers and brothers walked into her house, her calm heart was disturbed. Maybe because her father was a soldier, she was full of closeness to soldiers and felt that they were her relatives; And the one named Tamura is even more different, and his gestures make her feel fresh. The girl's feelings are just like this.

She stared out the dark window with wide eyes, thinking about what was on her mind. She knew that there would always be a day when the training of the troops would end, and as soon as she thought of this, she felt melancholy and uneasiness in her heart, an inexplicable sadness, which made her heart tighten one after another. Su Xiaoxiao, who was tossing and turning on the bed, finally woke up her sleeping mother.

The mother said in the dark: Girl, don't think nonsense, go to bed early, and work in the field tomorrow.

Mother's words made Su Xiaoxiao blush, and she whispered: Mom, I didn't think about it, everyone was asleep, and you woke me up.

How can a daughter's heart be hidden from her mother? She is a person from the past and understands her daughter's thoughts. She began to worry about her daughter, she knew that the army always had to leave, and after the army left, she left a lovesick daughter, and in the end, it was her daughter who suffered. She also came from her daughter's age, when she was with Su Xiaoxiao's father, she was also tossing and turning, and then her father came, left, left, and came again, she was in anticipation and watch. In the end, Su's father was gone forever, and she was left with only watch in her life.

After a while, my mother sighed and said: Girl, don't think about it, what is yours is yours, not yours, it's useless to ask.

Mom, I see. You go to sleep, too.

Mother's words shocked Su Xiaoxin, she knew that her mother was reminding herself, but she still laughed at herself in her heart: Don't be beautiful, you are thinking about others, how can people take a fancy to you.

But when she saw Tamura the next day, her heart was still pounding involuntarily. When she peeked into Tamura, she found that he was also looking at her, and the two pairs of eyes were just like that, tentatively colliding, and this kind of eye-wave exchange made her tremble. When I can't see Tamura, I always want to see him, and when I can see him, I don't dare to look at him, and every time I go to see him secretly, I find that Tamura is also looking at her with fiery eyes, and for a while, she seems to feel that she is in love.

During this period, Tamura met Shi Lan twice. In this training, the division hospital also sent some people to participate in the exercise. The division hospital did not live in Shematun, but arranged to live in a neighboring village. The first time I saw Shi Lan was during a rapid march. The people from the division hospital originally walked in front of the police communication company, because the division hospital marched with a lot of hospital belongings, such as stretchers, first-aid kits, and some simple medical equipment, so the team of the division hospital marched more slowly. When the police company caught up, the people of the hospital were sitting on the side of the road to rest, and several female hygienists were sitting together, giggling and laughing. In the division hospital, Tamura and Shi Lan had met several times, and both of them had some impressions of each other, and during this march, Tamura recognized Shi Lan among the female soldiers at a glance. As soon as they saw the people in the division hospital, the soldiers of the police company sang a song, and the female soldiers followed the sound and gathered around, and it was the first time that the female soldiers were watching, so the police company sang "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" to the earth-shattering. The female soldiers in the division hospital covered their mouths and smiled at the officers and soldiers of the police company. It was at this time that Tamura saw Shi Lan, and he smiled at her, and Shi Lan also responded with a light smile.

The second time I saw Shi Lan was when I was studying battlefield ambulance in the division hospital, my superiors asked the police to cooperate, and the location was on a hillside, and when it was Tamura's turn to be wounded, Shi Lan and two other female soldiers came up to "bandage" Tamura. Tamura lay there motionless, letting Shilan and her comrades treat his "wounds". When the bandage was on his head, Tamura felt that the bandage was a little tight, so he said: Shilan, you are too ruthless, can you do it lightly?

Shi Lan made a "shhhhhh

Tamura grimaced and said seriously: I can't speak, so you can't be too ruthless. You toss so much, and you still don't toss the wounded to death?

Shi Lan smiled secretly.

After the busy work, several female soldiers carried Tamura onto the stretcher, saying that it was lifting, but it was better to pull it hard, their strength was too small. After the wounded are dragged onto stretchers, they also have to carry them to safety within the stipulated time. Maybe it was too much of a hurry, maybe Tamura was too heavy, and while crossing a ditch, the female soldier fell down along with Tamura on a stretcher. Tamura was defenseless, and the man was grinning with his teeth smashed, and his face was rubbed heavily on the sand. Now, Tamura is really injured.

After the exercise, Shi Lan gave Tamura the medicine on his broken face, Tamura sucked in pain, Shi Lan said apologetically: I'm really sorry, Tamura.

The other female soldier pouted and muttered to Shi Lan: Why did you tell him that I was sorry, who made him too heavy.

Tamura grinned bitterly: What, you still blame me for being too heavy?

In the final evaluation, Shi Lan and the two female soldiers were criticized, and they bowed their heads in the queue, very sad. Tamura, who had gauze on his face, said angrily to Liu Dong beside him: They should be criticized.

Liu Dong glanced at Tamura's appearance and wanted to laugh, but finally held back.

When Tamura returned to Xiematun, the skin wound on his face was fine, but it was still seen by the sharp-eyed Su Xiaoxiao. She first opened her mouth in surprise, and then exclaimed: Brother, are you injured?

Tamura smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin."

When he washed his face, he took off the gauze and threw it on the ground. When his hand touched the wound on his face, it still hurt a little, he frowned, and was looked at by Su Xiaoxiao on the side.

Not long after Tamura returned to the house, Su Xiaoxiao came over and took a small bottle in his hand: Brother, I'll help you get some more medicine. This is wild boar oil, apply it and make sure you don't hurt tomorrow.

Tamura waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't follow, so she had to help Tamura apply wild lard, so Tamura had to rely on her. Her movements were very light, and while rubbing oil on his face, she asked: Brother, does it still hurt?

It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. Tamura replied with a sideways face. At this moment, he was very close to Su Xiaoxiao, and through her raised cuffs, he saw her half-rounded arm hidden in the sleeve, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly. Su Xiaoxiao's breath blew his hair fluttering, and a sense of coolness and comfort slowly spread throughout his body through half of his face, and in a trance, he had a feeling of dizziness.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said: Okay, rub it again tomorrow, and you will be fine.

Tamura glanced at her and said sincerely: Thank you.

Su Xiaoxiao's face flushed, and she turned around and walked out. As soon as Su Xiaoxiao left, someone came over and joked with Tamura: What's the matter, it feels a lot better, right?

Tamura also blushed, and said embarrassedly: Actually, it doesn't get in the way if you don't wipe it.

The crowd coaxed: Okay, Tamura, don't get cheap and sell well.

Liu Dong on the side didn't speak, seeing that Su Xiaoxiao cared so much about Tamura, he felt a little inexplicably lost in his heart. He couldn't tell why he felt this way, but he just hoped that if he was injured, Su Xiaoxiao would treat him like this.

After the two incidents of Shi Lan and Su Xiaoxiao, Liu Dong faintly felt that Tamura was his nemesis. At the beginning, he had a good relationship with Shi Lan, and he really didn't think about anything else, he just felt happy. When he read the book that Shi Lan lent him, it was like seeing her looking at him, and he felt happy in his heart, which made him very comfortable and satisfied. Just when he was having a friendly relationship with Shi Lan, Tamura stabbed him out and told him about the regulations of the army and the terrible words of people, and since then he has terminated his normal relationship with Shi Lan. Later, he seemed to be a little more sober, Tamura didn't let him interact with Shi Lan, but he took the initiative to play the role of a postman, isn't he afraid of violating the regulations of the army, and not afraid of people talking nonsense? When Liu Dong realized that this was a trap laid by Tamura, he never went to find Shi Lan again. Once, he sent a press release to the Propaganda Section, and when Shi Lan also came to deliver the manuscript, when they both left the Publicity Section, Shi Lan said behind him: Hey, why don't you dare to return the book to me?

He looked ahead: No, Tamura said that he went to the hospital to run errands, and I asked him to help return the book to you.

Shi Lan didn't say anything anymore, they walked downstairs and said "goodbye", and went back to the division hospital and the police communication link respectively.

After that, Shi Lan never took the initiative to find Liu Dong again. When he was free, when he occasionally thought of Shi Lan, he felt a faint pain in his heart.

After the troops came out to practice, he met Su Xiaoxiao, and her appearance made him secretly like it. Shi Lan and Su Xiaoxiao are the kind of girls he likes, but he knows that with his current conditions, he is not capable of confessing his thoughts, whether it is Shi Lan or Su Xiaoxiao. At present, the only thing he can do is to work hard and strive to have a career in the army, which is not only his family's expectation of him, but also his own life pursuit.

He often contrasts with Tamura in secret, and he finds that Tamura never suppresses his thoughts, and takes the initiative to express himself if he likes someone, which he can't do. Tamura left the team without permission, and although he received a serious warning, he was like a nobody, and he didn't take that punishment seriously at all; If you change yourself, you will be tantamount to destroying your future. After all, Tamura's father was the deputy commander of the army, and he was only a farmer. Then again, even if Tamura is not famous in the army, he can still find his ideal job when he is demobilized and returned. What about him? If he can't do it, he can only return to the village to be his farmer, and this is the gap between people and people.

Liu Dong felt a kind of pressure and sadness when he thought about it like this. So, the little sprouts of beauty that have grown in his heart these days were curbed by him in time, and he said over and over again in his heart: Shi Lan, Su Xiaoxiao, you are good, but I, Liu Dong, am not worthy, not worthy. Liu Dong closed his eyes when he thought of this, and he shouted in his heart: Liu Dong, you must work hard-
