21, we were completely deceived
21, we were completely deceived
The big car drove on the highway, fast and steady.
The early autumn sun, hot and dry, direct sunlight. Strong ultraviolet rays, through the car window, spilled on the body, there was a burning sensation.
The atmosphere in the car was even more enthusiastic, with some whispering, some chatting, and some making loud noises amid the roar of the motors. Especially the boys, talking without scruples, although the voices of these little boys are still a little green, but there is no lack of hearty laughter.
As the car moved, the West Mountain became closer and closer from the shadow.
The sky is still so blue, still so deep, still so clean.
A few white clouds are drifting, changing postures, light and twisted.
The topic of the two of us shifted to military training.
I said, "Sister, why did you say they lied to us?" β
Jiang Feifei, "Military training is very hard, if they say at the beginning that this is not good, then it is not good, who wants to come?" β
I said, "But I have a fellow from the previous session, she told me that it was okay, she ate all green vegetables, breathed fresh air, slept in spacious beds, and the soldiers and brothers were dressed in olive green one by one, very masculine and handsome, especially eye-catching." Are they all lying? β
Jiang Feifei, "Hahaha, they're this set again." What they say is half right and half wrong. Overall, it's a complete lie. β
I said, "How?" β
Jiang Feifei: "This is the tradition of the school, one class of deception, because they have suffered enough, and they want us to suffer again, these senior brothers and sisters, if they are really bad enough, they will send younger brothers and sisters." They must have been tortured by those GIs, and they took revenge on us. β
I said, "Isn't there still green vegetables to eat?" β
Jiang Feifei, "There are only some green vegetables left, I really haven't replied at all, so tired training, do you say it's enough to eat?" That kind of green vegetable, when you're done training for three weeks, you won't say it in this tone, and that's part of their torture for us. β
I said, "Isn't there fresh air?" β
Jiang Feifei, "This is the only right, in the suburbs, at the foot of the West Mountain, everywhere is fresh air, that is not our special supply, but the geographical location is determined." β
I said, "Fortunately, there are spacious beds so I can have a good rest." β
Jiang Feifei, "You are so naΓ―ve, why don't you think about it carefully?" Is your small bed spacious for one person? A spacious bed, that is, a large bunk, and a bed with a dozen people, is it spacious? Now that I think about it, how miserable it is, these people are worthy of learning Chinese, and it is really hateful to deceive people to use such a good language. Look at why I brought such a big quilt roll, that is, a mattress for you, a bare bed board, just your small body, it's no wonder if you don't die. What kind of spacious bed, they can also think of these words, how to figure it out? These hateful guys. β
I said, "How do you know everything?" β
Jiang Feifei, "Think about how many times I've participated in military training?" In the fifth grade of elementary school, I participated in military training for the first time, which made me tired. The first half of the third semester of junior high school, which is also this season, was pulled in for military training just after the start of school, which is called a miserable. When you first entered high school, you haven't gone to school yet? Here comes another military training. At that time, when my aunt first came, I was still uncomfortable, and I was uncomfortable, my stomach hurt very much, and I was embarrassed to ask for leave from those who were soldiers, which was the most uncomfortable military training for me. I grew up in the compound of the army, I know too much about being a soldier, and the military training base we went to, that was the field army, all of them were men, and when they saw mosquitoes coming, they had to separate male and female, and if a woman came to the barracks, their eyes would be the same as the clothes on their bodies, all of them were green. You say, we are beautiful girls, and we have fallen into their hands, can they not punish us ruthlessly? Those who are instructors are all veterans, and they find out the reasons to make you impeccable, which little girl is beautiful, she will fix that, not that your standing posture is wrong, or that your positive step is not good, after getting along with them for three weeks, you will not say that Yang Gang is handsome, how eye-catching. Of course, the vast majority of soldiers are still very good, they are moral and disciplined, and they will not do bad things, just vent their emotions. Once we run into a single one, that's our bad luck. β
As I listened to her, I had all kinds of images in my mind, and my heart was pounding, it was terrible, how could this be?
Jiang Feifei saw my thoughts, "You don't have to be afraid, it's not that I'm here, I see who of them dares, if there is a bad boy, I can pick his skin with a phone call, Jiang Bayi." β
After hearing her say this, my little heart calmed down and I felt that I had a backer.
I said, "Sister Feifei, do you really like to read novels?" β
Jiang Feifei, "Yes, I don't like to read novels very much, and I especially like to read classical novels. β
I said, "So what have you watched?" β
Jiang Feifei, "I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, I have read a lot of world classics, I have read a lot of classical classics, and now I have read almost all of their works, but I have not read them all." My dad loves to read and buy books, and I am the second to read whatever he buys. He reads a wide range of books, reading everything, and I just choose novels to read. Another hobby is to love to read history books, this habit is actually guided out by my father, our family has a full set of twenty-four histories, plus Qing history manuscripts, a total of twenty-five histories, my dad read it over and over again, I see that he is so attentive, I also read it, unconsciously read it twice. In addition, my father's favorite set of books is Sima Guang's, Capital Tongjian, which is said to be a photocopy of Chairman Mao's annotations. When I first read it, it was more difficult, but when I looked at it, it was smoother, I knew a lot of rare words, and I also knew the source of a lot of allusions, but it was not as story-telling as the 24th History, as if it was a running account. Anyway, in our study, there are a lot of books, my dad read it for the first time, I read it for the second time, and the two of us discussed with each other after reading it, talked about their feelings after reading, and communicated with each other. Sometimes the two of us have a lot of arguments and have different opinions. He was willing to let me read his books, and he felt that giving me these spiritual food was also a kind of inheritance. So I got stuck in these piles of books, the fashionable online novels now, as soon as my classmates said it, I didn't even know, and then I tried to read one or two, but it wasn't as interesting as reading those books. The text of those books is particularly beautiful, and it has been tempered a lot, and the more you read it, the more you love it. Online novels are like that, read them once and then pass, and some books are rough and can't read at all, and I don't know how to post them on the Internet. β
I said, "My dad studied economics, and I wasn't interested in his books. My mom is a doctor, and she reads books every day, all of them are business books, and I can't read them, and I don't want to read them. My greatest interest is to read poetry collections, all kinds of deeds, in the West, I have read Gothic's, in Asia I have read Tagore's, I have read all the poetry collections of contemporary people in our country, I have read all that I can find, I am fascinated by the timing, because of their rhetorical devices, their metaphors, I am fascinated, in my little poems, unconsciously, I learn them, imitate them. β
Jiang Feifei, "It seems that you are very professional, in addition to modern poetry, do you like to read ancient poetry?" β
I said, "Except for 300 Tang poems, 300 Song poems, and the Book of Songs, I rarely read other things, I don't like ancient poems and modern poems, I like modern poems, free and bold, there are not so many rules." But I'm not looking at it ordinarily, I memorized all these ancient poems, and I almost had more than 1,000 ancient poems in my head, so I wrote them myself, sometimes banning their sentences, and I didn't have to compare them at all. This is a child's work, I memorized them all before I was 10 years old, and I guess I can't memorize them if I want to memorize them now. β
Jiang Feifei, "I can't do it, I don't have the kung fu to memorize." My brother is good, his kung fu in memorizing is good, he especially likes Journey to the West, Water Margin and Dream of Red Mansions, a big man, reciting Dream of Red Mansions, that is called a lingering, the plot and characters of Dream of Red Mansions are clear. It's a particularly annoying thing, watching the TV series of Dream of Red Mansions, he always points and points, saying that people are wrong here and wrong, as if no one else has them, and he reads books right. My father sometimes criticized him, saying that he was just a mechanical endorsement and did not study red studies well, and that he should read the articles on the study of the dream of the Red Chamber and do some in-depth research. β
I said, "Sister, do you think this is good?" The two of us train during the day and tutor each other at night, you tell me about the books you read, and I tell you about the poetry books I read. I forgot to tell you, I also watched Shakespeare's complete works, Shakespeare's plays, which can be called classics, I just remember a lot of dialogues, and the two of us will have a literary training camp, how about it? β
Jiang Feifei, "As long as you don't get tired and lie down, I'll be fine." β
I said, "Then we'll make up our minds." β
Jiang Feifei and I slapped each other, "A word is a certainty." β
The car was parked steadily in the compound of the military training base, we got off one after another, and under the guidance of several soldiers, we took our luggage and came to the dormitory arranged for us in advance.
Facing the big empty room, we had a class of 21 girls, arranged in a dormitory.
Leaning against the south wall and the north wall, there are double iron beds, and there is a passage in the middle, and there is a bare wooden board on the bed. I was not particularly surprised because Jiang Feifei gave me a vaccination on the road, but in the face of such a scene, my heart was also half cold.
Jiang Feifei, opened the two quilts, spread them on the bed board of me and him, and then put on the two of us with their respective luggage, and it was basically comfortable to lie on.
Our military training began in this piece of mourning.
