Chapter 1: Veteran Night Talk

Next Chapter

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one, two, three, four......"

"One, two, three, four......"

Watching the group of energetic young men in the distance walk away with neat steps and shouting loud slogans, two round heads poked out of the grass on the bank of the fish pond.

"It's the sixth company that just passed, right? Call...... It's finally gone, and the six companies are really, and they have to practice until the sun is about to go down before they end up every time. One of the two muscular guys exhaled deeply and muttered, then took out a box of 'fine white sand' from his jacket pocket, bounced two of them, and handed it to the other person on the side.

The man smiled, shook his head and said nothing, took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, then fell backwards and lay down on the grass.

"Brother Fan, there are still three days to recover, have you thought about what you are going to do when you go back?" The guy who handed the cigarette didn't seem to mind that his complaint was not answered, he lit the cigarette in his mouth and lay down as well.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's you, I said I was going to leave the army, why are you joining in the fun, your old man has settled near the station, you can just take a vacation if you want to go back, why do you want to go with me?" The man, known as Brother Fan, spat out a puff of smoke rings and asked with some confusion.

"Cut...... It's not that you don't know, I have always grown up with my mother, so naturally I want to go back to my mother, although the old man is my father, but I don't want to join his new family, besides, when the two of us came to be soldiers together, naturally we wanted to go back together, you left, I didn't have any fun staying here alone. By the way, did you tell your uncle and aunt about your discharge? ”

"Not yet, I'm going to say it, they will not let me go, I'm going to cut it first, and when the wood is ready, it's useless for them to object."

"Hey...... It's not that I said, you have such a good foundation, and you can be ranked first in the whole regiment, so it's a pity to retire from the army like this. ”

"So what, people like us, our education is too low, if we want to climb up, it is difficult to climb to the sky, it is only because we didn't study hard at the beginning, and when we got to the army, we couldn't even get into a military school, I also figured it out, since I couldn't get into a military school, I couldn't do it, so it was better to recover and go home as soon as possible. Besides, my father's health is not good, I heard that their second elder's work unit is also bankrupt, they are still a few years away from retirement, and there is no financial source, so I can go back and help the family. ”

"It's been five years in the blink of an eye, I think at the beginning, you were seventeen, I was only fifteen, and two stinky boys came to the army, and this work was five years. I couldn't sleep excitedly these nights, and I finally wanted to go back, and after I went back, I got the car to drive away, and then I made a girl, hehe......"

"Get out, you kid, you want to retire from the army, but you've been held back for too long and have entered the estrus period, right......" Hearing the man's words, this guy named Brother Fan rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey......" The man didn't refute, but let out a wicked laugh, and the laughter was particularly harsh by the quiet fishpond.

At this moment, on the side of the road, there was a sudden roar: "Who is there?" Which unit? ”

An angry roar startled the two people by the fish pond, only to hear one of them exclaim: "It's not good, picket, run......"

As soon as the words fell, the man on the side of the road saw two sturdy figures jumping out of the grass by the fish pond, he quickly raised the flashlight in his hand and shone it over, and then shouted loudly: "Stop, don't run......"

"It's a fool not to run......"

"Bastard......" A sentence came back from the two shadows, and the angry picket was annoyed and couldn't help but scold angrily.

"Forget it, those two must be veterans who are about to retire, at this time, let's keep a low profile and don't mess with these guys." The companion on the side grabbed the picket who wanted to chase him out, shook his head and shouted.

Anyone who has been a soldier knows that there is an unwritten rule in the army, veterans who are about to be discharged, as long as they do not make any big mistakes, generally in the last days, everyone turns a blind eye, and this picket should be a recruit who only joined the army this year, so it will be like this.

Let's say that the two people who escaped, like swift leopards, took advantage of the cover of trees and grass, and in just over ten seconds, they came to the other side of the fish pond, where there was a wall more than three meters high, and at the other end of the wall was a two-meter-wide ditch, opposite the ditch was a vegetable field, and the vegetable field was further forward, and after a forest was another avenue.

The two of them stepped over the fence twice, jumped over the ditch with one step, and rushed into the woods along the vegetable patch, a series of movements that flowed smoothly without a trace of dragging, as if the two had walked this road many times. When he got here, the slightly thinner guy looked back and stopped.

"Alright, they didn't chase after them, so they don't have to run." The man took a deep breath to calm the tension.

"Huh? Really...... Usually, those pickets are the same as anything, and they chase people to death, and they seem to have relaxed a lot in the past two days. The burly guy stopped running when he heard the reminder and turned around.

"Every year at this time, they turn a blind eye and just smoke a cigarette, and it's not a big deal. Okay, it's not early, you hurry back to your company, you only have a few days to go home, don't make trouble these days. With that, the thin man patted the burly man on the shoulder and walked forward.

The burly man didn't speak, looked at the thin man's back, shrugged his shoulders, and turned in the other direction.

These two are two brothers, but they are not brothers, but cousins, the thin one is the elder brother, named Chen Fan. The burly one is the younger brother, named Yao Yong. Chen Fan's father and Yao Yong's mother are brothers and sisters, in their father's era, there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and in their generation, almost all of them were only children in the family, so even if they were cousins, the relationship between the two was like a brother, Yao Yong's parents divorced when he was very young, and Yao Yong has always been raised by his mother.

The children of single-parent families are somewhat rebellious, and Yao Yong is no exception, Yao Yong, who is only in junior high school, has always been a bad boy in their family. When Chen Fan was a soldier, Yao Yong's mother was worried that Yao Yong would eventually get into trouble if he mixed up like this, so she entrusted the relationship, changed Yao Yong's household registration age, increased it by two years, and then forced Yao Yong to follow Chen Fan to the army, and entrusted Chen Fan to take care of him, in fact, Chen Fan is not an honest person, but he seems to be more obedient in front of his elders, although he is not as jumpy as Yao Yong, but in school, he is also a poor student, otherwise, he would not choose not to even take the college entrance examination. Directly to the army.
