Chapter I
The fog was thick, and the sun still hid behind it and refused to dispel it, and the rime hung on the bare branches, whitewashing the bare and monotonous winter day. Trucks draped in green camouflage tarpaulins swayed along a stretch of country road, seemingly heading to an unknown place.
Han Song took off his glasses to wipe off the mist attached to the lenses and put them back on. tightened his collar, but he still couldn't resist the cold, and drilled into his body from the gap in his neck, bringing a burst of cool air to his belly, and Han Song felt his stomach tighten for a while.
Looking at the excited or confused look in the eyes of the carload of people, and the childishness on his face, Han Song felt very helpless. touched Wang Kai, who was confused next to him, "Don't sleep, I'll catch a cold for a while." ”
Wang Kai "En" sighed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and muttered: "I'm trapped to death, I don't sleep at night, I have to go to a party for me, so that Lao Tzu can't sleep all night, isn't it just to be a soldier, I feel like I'm going to die, these shameless guys, they still want to find me a young lady to let me open meat, Lao Tzu's place is so easy to be broken, Lao Tzu is still waiting to be left to his wife." ”
A snickerer came from the car, and Han Song looked at Wang Kai's decrepit appearance speechlessly, as if he really wanted to pretend that he didn't know him. If it weren't for his uncle's explanation, he would have the urge to kick him around and roll him to death.
"Huh? Brother Song, have you arrived?" Kaizi's cheap hand wiped open the curtain of the door used to block the wind, and a gust of cold wind immediately rushed in, raging the almost frozen nerves of everyone inside.
Wang Kai's action instantly attracted the angry eyes of the whole car, and several people seemed to be about to open their mouths to scold, and some even wanted to stand up.
Han Song slapped him on the back of the head, "You're sick, you're not cold, I'm still cold." Get out of the way and go, don't do anything about it. He quickly dragged him back and lowered the curtain again.
Calm returned to the carriage, and the men who were about to get up did not know what to say, and sat down quietly again.
Wang Kai suffered this in the head, leaned on the baffle sullenly, and glanced at the stuffy carriage: "I'm bored to death, I knew what kind of broken soldiers were like this, it's better to fight CS in the bed at home." After that, he was not honest again, and he touched up and down there. But he didn't find anything, so he stretched out his hand to Han Song's eyes.
"What?" Han Song asked strangely.
"Give me a cigarette." Wang Kai replied as a matter of course.
Han Song didn't move, and looked at the soldier with the car who was squinting and pretending to sleep, and his face was a little unsightly. "Nope!"
"Bring it" Wang Kai raised his voice a little, "You definitely have, I saw you stuffed in your underwear pocket in the morning, get me one." ”
"Get out!" Han Song was annoyed, knocked his hand off, and scolded him with a slash on his face.
Wang Kai was scolded inexplicably, he just wanted to stand up and get angry, but suddenly found that his shoulder was pressed, so he couldn't get up.
So Wang Kai wanted to stand up and see who was behind him who was so blind and dared to obstruct the famous Brother Kai, and if he could, he wouldn't mind beating him. When he turned his head to see the face of the person behind him, he immediately lost his temper, and sat down obediently, wilting like a frosted eggplant, and his eyes when he looked at Han Song were also full of remorse and guilt.
"Brother, sit down, the road is bumpy. It's still a little while. Wang Kai didn't know what level his military rank was, but there was no doubt that he was the veritable boss in this car.
Wang Kai saw that the soldier had returned to his original position, and quietly pulled Han Song's clothes, "Brother Song, I was wrong. Han Song glared at him, tightened his clothes, no longer bothered with his two hundred and five, leaning against the carriage board and squinting and pretending to sleep.
The soldier swept everyone in the carriage expressionlessly, returned to his place and continued to remain silent.
Half-asleep, Han Song seemed to see Li Xue's smile, blooming in front of his eyes like a flower, just like the warm sun of spring dispelled all the gray colors in his heart, Han Song took her hand and strolled through the school garden full of flowers, wearing a floral skirt, she suddenly shook off his hand, ran into the flowers, picked a few flowers and held them in his hand, looked at Han Song with a smile and asked him if he looked good. Han Song smiled and replied that it was good-looking, as good-looking as her. However, a vague figure suddenly appeared beside her, holding her hand, and the two of them looked at him together with a smile as if no one was around, and gradually disappeared.
"Li Xue!" Han Song was so shocked that he subconsciously grabbed her hand, opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly found that it was an unfamiliar face in front of him, and he was grabbing the collar of that person. Han Song glanced at the carriage and found that the carriage was empty, and everyone was gone.
"My name is Li Bing, not Li Xue. Recruits, we're here, get off. The soldier saw that he had woken up, removed his hand from his collar, got up and left the carriage.
Han Song carried his bag and hurriedly jumped out of the car, because he had been sitting for a long time, his legs were a little numb, and he almost fell down if he didn't stand firmly. Seeing this, the comrades-in-arms next to him hurriedly supported him.
Han Song thanked him while standing next to this person, in front, Wang Kai turned his head and squeezed his eyebrows at Han Song, as if he was smiling.
The sun pierced through the fog and re-spilled over the land. When the fog cleared, Han Song found himself in a very large courtyard, in front of him was a three-story building in the style of a collective dormitory, surrounded by such buildings on all sides, under the building were basketball courts and table tennis stadiums, followed by two rows of willow trees surrounded by a circular track, and in the middle were two football fields, separated by a running track, one of the venues, where two teams were playing.
"Welcome to the troops, recruits!" Standing at the front of the line, a man wearing the same military uniform and not knowing what position he was looking at everyone with a smile. "You're going to have a different life here, two, five, or eight, or even longer. No matter how many years you stay, your life will add an extraordinary experience that will be a rare treasure and an indelible memory in your later life. And you, not only these riches, but also the most important comradeship!
Han Song listened very carefully at that time, and took it for granted that what this person said was correct, if he knew that the time was so difficult later, Han Song would definitely not mind leaving on the spot, no matter how nice he said.
"Divide the troops." He turned his head to a person behind him and said, turned around and got into a very bullish and heroic jeep, Han Song later learned that this person was the instructor of the new training brigade, a colonel, and the car was a Land Rover, the most powerful off-road vehicle in the army at that time, and it was also a well-known brand in the world.
The people who came together were assigned to different recruit companies one by one, but fortunately, Wang Kai was in a platoon with him and was not assigned to other places, so he could continue to fulfill his uncle's instructions.
Han Song's class came first with five recruits, and the five of them stood in front of a person who had experienced vicissitudes of life in a not very standardized military posture, each with their own luggage in front of them, and that person looked at everyone with a light smile.
"Welcome to the third row and nine classes, brothers, my name is Huo Lianjie, the next three months will be with you and me, know here, be familiar with here, of course you will definitely not fall in love here, because except for a few aunts in the welfare society, you will never see any female species, not even a sow. Well, first of all, I want to explain that the army has its own rules, and orders and prohibitions are necessary, and there can be no objections. Don't bring the same set from society here, the army is not what you want, otherwise you will see what is special about the army. I'll wait for your deputy squad leader to come back and check your belongings first, and then today you have two jobs, folding quilts and basic queue exercises. Now, you'll have half an hour to call your family to tell you you're safe, and the phone booth is in the first room on the right hand side of the door. Half an hour later, we will return to the house and assemble. Hear me all! ”
"Clear."
Five people crowded out of the house. Han Song didn't go with them, but took out his mobile phone with Wang Kai, who was in the eighth class of recruits next to him, to call his family.
Wang Kai stabbed him and whispered; "Take out a box of cigarettes and give it to me, I'm going to give it to the squad leader."
Han Song glanced at the squad leader sitting on a small stool, and saw that he was reading a magazine with relish, and turned to Wang Kai: "Here you go, I hope your method is useful." ”
Han Song thought that if it was useful, he would also bribe it, and he would lose nothing by leaving a box of cigarettes.
Wang Kai glanced at him, muttered something he couldn't hear clearly, picked up the cigarette and walked to his squad leader.
"Squad leader, come with one?" Wang Kai smiled and handed a cigarette to his squad leader.
His squad leader smiled, took his cigarette and put it on the table, and didn't speak.
Wang Kai secretly made a victory gesture to Han Song, which happened to be seen by Huo Lianjie. Han Song suddenly noticed that the corners of Huo Lianjie's mouth rose unconsciously. This look fell in his eyes, but it revealed a different taste, and he quickly stopped his steps about to move forward, intending to take a look.
Facts have proved that Han Song's decision avoided a cruel punishment for them. After Wang Kai and the others came back, his squad leader tricked out all the cigarettes of everyone with a little trick, and then in front of the whole platoon, everyone had a pack of cigarettes, with a basin, and four or five cigarettes together, and he Han Song trembled in his heart.
"Deputy squad leader, check the items, and take them out to practice in the afternoon." Huo Lianjie said lightly, "All the contraband of tobacco, alcohol, magazines, etc., are found and handed over to me." Let's start with him. Huo Lianjie pointed at Han Song and said.
His squad leader's words made Han Song stunned directly, contraband, judging from the analysis of Huo Lianjie's words, the things he brought this time were basically contraband, except for clothes! Tobacco and alcohol magazines are readily available, oh, except for alcohol.
But he didn't dare to move, what happened to Wang Kai just now can be vividly remembered, and many people have advised him before he came, the troops, without an order, can not act privately, that is called violating the order, the consequences will be very serious.
Although he couldn't guess what the punishment was, Han Song didn't think that his body could withstand much damage.
In the blink of an eye, the deputy squad leader had already walked to Han Song's duffel bag and opened the zipper. What caught his eye was a pile of cigarettes and magazines, and after flipping through a few pages casually, the deputy squad leader glanced at it with a strange expression, picked up his bag and walked to Huo Lianjie and showed it to him.
"Squad leader.. …”
Huo Lianjie flipped through Han Song's duffel bag casually, and said: "Give him a new bag, pick out the casual clothes that you usually need to wear and put them in the new bag, don't label this bag, don't put it in storage, let me deal with it here." ”
Huo Lianjie casually put the bag under his bed, didn't look at Han Song, and continued to look down at the book in his hand.
Han Song's back immediately broke out in a cold sweat, it seemed that he was going to settle accounts after the autumn, but he didn't know that these were contraband before he came.
"Squad Leader~~"
As soon as Han Song wanted to explain the situation, Huo Lianjie waved his hand and asked the deputy squad leader to lead the team out. Because his mind was all on this matter, he made several mistakes when he was training in the queue, and was scolded by the deputy squad leader. I was also absent-minded in studying the rules and regulations at night, and I made mistakes several times.
It's just that for a few days in a row, Huo Lianjie didn't mention this matter, as if he deliberately forgot about it, and it was like never having it.
