Chapter 77: Changing one's life against the sky
After the Spring Festival, it began to warm up, and the quality of the recruits in our company was the best, so there was usually a tolerance, and all the work was done by the people of our class. The cooking squad is not manpowered, cooking is OK, such work as chopping firewood can only be applied to the company, the company commander ordered a squad to do it, usually will receive this kind of order is my squad, since coming to the army has been to chop firewood several times. The first few times I went to it, it was cold, so I had to do it as hard as I could, otherwise I would sweat and shiver as soon as I stopped. On a cold day, Feng Shaobo will not accompany us to freeze outside, he hides directly in the cooking class, bakes a fire in the cooking class, smokes a cigarette, and comes out to check the work after a while. He also knows that we can't be lazy in the winter, and when we sweat, we will freeze to death if we stop. This time it was different, it was warm, and he sat on a piece of wood against the wall, urging us to hurry up. Although Feng Shaobo usually likes to play with some demon moths to fix us. But this person is very upright, not bad at all, as long as we don't delay at a critical time, complete the training tasks of the recruit company, he usually rarely uses those rules and regulations to restrain us, when he is alone with him, he is not looked at by the company's chief officer, he will also send us a cigarette every 3 to 5, so that we can satisfy our hunger, in general, he is a good squad leader in addition to a good person.
That day, we were getting firewood at the back of the cooking class, and we asked the squad leader to smoke cigarettes, and he told us that he didn't have them. The troops are strictly controlled, and they are not allowed to walk around in normal times, let alone leave the gate of the barracks, so cigarettes are definitely a straining commodity, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.
Feng Shaobo pointed to the wall behind him and said: Outside this wall is the family courtyard of the old cadres of the army, and there is a small shop in the family courtyard, but we can't jump off the wall to get out, if we let the pickets catch it, it will be a big trouble. You're working hard here, I'm here to watch you, and if there's a passerby outside, ask them to help buy a box of cigarettes, we've done that before. We people cheered, this is a day's work here, if there is no smoke, we will not suffocate to death. Feng Shaobo continued: I can tell you okay, I will only help you see if anyone comes, and when the time comes, you will go out and discuss with yourself to let people buy cigarettes for you. Zhai Jiqiang said: Squad leader, you have made great merits, don't worry, you can help us see if anyone is passing by, and if someone passes by in a while, I will discuss with others.
We found two thick wooden piers to stand on the side of the wall, so that Feng Shaobo could just see the outside of the wall when he stepped on it. Every once in a while, he stuck his head out to see if anyone was passing by. After a while, Feng Shaobo jumped down from the wooden pier and shouted: "Here, here comes an old man with a straw hat and riding a bicycle." Zhai Jiqiang, hurry up, it's your turn to hurry up. Zhai Jiqiang threw down the axe, stepped on the wooden pier where Feng Shaobo stood just now, grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and said to the outside of the wall: Brother is busy, this weather is good. I heard the sound of the bicycle chain box outside the wall getting closer and closer, and the sound of the bicycle tire touching the ground. Then there was a deep voice from a man: Yes, it's a good day, don't I ride a bicycle out for a walk? What are you doing here? Boy.
Zhai Jiqiang said: I'm here to help the cooking class get some firewood, brother, can you do me a favor? Help me go to a nearby store and buy a box of cigarettes. I didn't smoke anymore, and I was suffocating all morning.
The voice said, "I heard that the army doesn't allow smoking."
Zhai Jiqiang said: Secretly copy, there are policies and countermeasures, as long as you don't grasp the current situation, it's fine. Even if you catch it, you will be punished, and that punishment will not be painful for us, it doesn't matter, men don't smoke and I'm sorry for our ancestors. Brother, this is money, you take it and help me buy two boxes of yellow lights. Zhai Jiqiang said as he took out the money from his pocket and handed it over.
The man said, "That's okay, I'm fine anyway, I'll just help you run errands." Talking is still a set, buy two boxes at a time, cigarettes are quite diligent, smoke less, it's not good for the guy to smoke too much.
Zhai Jiqiang said: Thank you first, brother, you are really a good person. Buy two boxes of cigarettes, one box is for the squad leader, I have to send his old man happy first, otherwise how can I stop smoking. After a while, when you come back from buying cigarettes, you stand outside the wall and shout, and I can listen from the wall.
The man said yes, and then he heard the sound of the bike going away. We have been waiting here, waiting for about half an hour, and we didn't hear anyone come back, Jiulai said to Zhai Jiqiang: That old brother shouldn't have run away with your money, right? Zhai Jiqiang said that it was just a little money, as for it? Feng Shaobo touched his head on the side and said that he didn't see it too clearly just now, but now he thinks back that the old man in the straw hat is very familiar. He was remembering where he had seen the old man.
The battalion commander, the instructor, and the company commander and instructor walked around the building of the cooking class together and walked towards us, all four of whom had gloomy faces. We are still in the stage of recruit training, usually the battalion commander and instructors rarely care about us, and we rarely see them in ordinary times, Feng Shaobo quickly stood up and shouted, Lizheng, comrade battalion commander, the 4th company and 6th squad are out of tolerance, please instruct, Feng Shaobo raised a hand and was just about to salute, and the battalion commander directly threw the two boxes of cigarettes in his hand into Feng Shaobo's face. The battalion commander said: How capable are the soldiers of your fourth company? Let the division commander help you buy cigarettes, and take a sip of an old brother who is so affectionate, cigarettes, the division commander helped you buy them, and let me pass them on to you. After the battalion commander finished speaking, he turned his head and left. The instructor came over and said: There are policies and countermeasures, and the punishment after smoking is not painful for you, aren't you all afraid? Are they all unscrupulous? 4 The company commander and instructor took good care of your soldiers this time, and all the people were thrown into the regiment. The division commander directly called the regiment, and in front of so many people, the battalion commander and I were ridiculed by the regiment commander. The instructor shook his head and sighed and left. After the two battalion commanders left, the company commander approached Feng Shaobo step by step, and Feng Shaobo slowly retreated, saying while retreating: Company commander, company commander, let's talk about something, don't do it, I know it's wrong. The company commander said, "You give me the truth, stand there and don't move." The company commander chased after him, hit Feng Shaobo's buttocks, and kicked him twice.
The instructor said on the side: Feng Shaobo, you can, the ideological and political lessons in the past few years have been given to you in vain, you have connived at the smoking of your soldiers, and you have asked people to buy you cigarettes.
The company commander stopped the instructor and said: Don't talk so much nonsense with him, don't open the roof for three days. The company commander pointed at Feng Shaobo and asked? Would you rather be beaten or punished?
Feng Shaobo covered his buttocks and bared his teeth and said to the company commander with a grin: Accept punishment, accept punishment.
The company commander said: Okay, take your people, after chopping firewood for a while. Clean up all the snow under the wall behind this cooking class. You are not allowed to use any other tools, but you can only use each of your washbasins, and you can go out with a basin and a basin, and when you are done and when you go to bed. The company commander and the instructor also left after speaking. There is a small open space at the door of each company, whenever it snows, the snow on this small open space is transported to the back of the cooking class, piled up under the wall and shot into a trapezoidal shape, now the weather is warm, it begins to thaw, and the snow-white snow has turned black, and the brother company of my company's cooking class has transported the snow to the big playground with a trolley to spread it, and the back of the cooking class is not easy to melt, so it is transported to the big playground and spread, and the snow melts as soon as the sun comes out. A winter snow, that's a lot, don't let the cart use the washbasin, one basin after another to the outside, that's really enough to dry all night, with a move more than a loss.
Uncle Wang was feeding the cattle in the cattle pen, and he heard the sound of allegro on the avenue, and the rhythm of the allegro was very familiar, and then a familiar voice: Ganluo paid homage to the prime minister in the morning, and the hero asked whether the murderer was good or not. The sound mixed with the sound of Allegro went all the way to the back of the tunzi. Uncle Wang came out of the bullpen, followed the sound of allegro and kept walking behind the tunzi, until he walked out of the tunzi for a long time, and the man stopped, and Uncle Wang walked to the person and stopped.
Wang Hui turned around and said to Uncle Wang: Senior brother has not seen him for so many years, has he always been good?
Uncle Wang said: Why are you a nerd?
Wang Hui said: Don't make trouble, you're so old, talk well. I knew you were here, and I deliberately came to see you today. I heard that you occupied the magpie's nest, robbed other people's wives, occupied other people's houses and land, and became someone else's stepfather.
Uncle Wang said: Stop, stop, can you talk, this nerd? What is a dove occupying a magpie's nest? What is it called robbing other people's wives and occupying other people's houses and land? We are two true loves. Didn't you come today just to be angry with me, if you have something, hurry up and say something, and you leave quickly after speaking.
Wang Hui said: Of course it's not to be angry with you, I came to find Senior Brother to thank you in person. Thank you for protecting my apprentice for so long, and for teaching me the Eight Character Prediction.
Uncle Wang said: It's really strange, I don't even know who your apprentice is, let alone protect and pass on skills. You're wrong, I didn't do that. If it's okay, you can go, it's very difficult at home, so I won't leave you to eat.
Wang Hui said: My descendant disciple is your stepson, Admiralty, who has just gone to serve as a soldier.
Uncle Wang laughed a few times and said: How is it possible? I looked at the eight characters of the Admiralty, and judging from the eight characters, this kid will have a certain amount of potential in the future, but he will definitely not be able to enter your eyes. Don't fight me here haha.
Wang Hui said: Judging from the eight characters alone, his qualifications are indeed average, but what if you add unicorn bones?
Hahaha, Uncle Wang laughed out loud this time and said: Idiot, you are crazy, when we were learning art, I learned eight-character prediction, you learned to touch bones, I admit that I am not as good as you in terms of touching bones. But I still know the unicorn bone, and I have lived with the master for so long, and the master is the unicorn bone.
Wang Hui said: Senior brother must still remember what the master once said about changing his life against the sky? If I tell you that the bones of Admiralty have been changed when you touch them now, would you believe it?
Uncle Wang stared at Wang Hui with wide eyes for a long time before he said: You are really crazy, you are changing your life against the sky, you will kill him if you do this. When the master told us this, he repeatedly told us that this was just a legend. Whether anyone has done this, or whether it has been successful, no one knows at all. If the time comes, a deviation or an unfulfilled condition, he will die.
Wang Hui said: If you succeed in changing your life against the sky, isn't it the will of God? Don't you think there's a great need for such a person? Learning to predict is a condition I set. I was also apprehensive at first. But it wasn't until you appeared that I dispelled that concern. Originally, I was worried that even if you saw him, you wouldn't teach him all the Bazi prediction techniques, but you just appeared as his stepfather, don't you think it's providence?
After Wang Hui left, Uncle Wang stood alone in place for a long time, maybe this is fate, if Wang Hui can really change his life against the sky and succeed, then the future of this kid in Admiralty is unpredictable.
