Chapter 4: The Nightmare Begins
Early the next morning, the haze of broken love seemed to be less serious, even if the mood was a little depressing, but life continued, and military training continued.
There are very few male students in the School of Foreign Languages, and although the instructor has repeatedly emphasized that the number of male students in the class of 2011 is far more than he imagined, there are only less than 30 of them, and we are in the same team as the boys in the Conservatory, and as for the girls, they were split into two teams because of the large number of men.
The instructor of our squadron was not tall, dark-skinned, the kind that could not be found in the coal pile, and was always very serious, and he asked us to call him an instructor, but we all called him Su Su in private;
The instructor of the girls' 1 team is very tall, compared with Zeng Susu, it is another kind of black, dirty, every time I see his face, I always think of the picture of the Beijing ape man in the first middle school textbook, yes, he looks like the evolution is not complete, a bit of atavism, his surname is Niu, and he is very public, and he is very angry with everyone, so we call him Niu Coaxing;
The instructor of the girls' 2-party team is about the same size as Zeng Susu, although his skin is not fair after long-term training, but compared to those two, he is already a little white face, he is always smiling, so we call him Zhang Xiaoxiao.
A few of our boys discussed it during the break, why did Zeng Susu keep a face and be unhappy? Because he can only take us boys, and he can't pick up girls; Why is the cow coaxing so stubborn? That's to pretend to be X in front of girls, so as to make it easier to pick up girls; Why does Zhang Xiaoxiao always laugh? That's to give girls an amiable feeling so that they can pick up girls.
Until now, I still firmly believe in this idea, after all, we are all about the same age, and careful thinking should be the same.
Kick the right step, shout the password, walk the square... Just like the previous military training, it was boring and, in my opinion, even very meaningless.
Military training lasted for a week, the eighth day is the whole school collective "military parade", it is said that this competition ranking, related to the assessment results of each instructor in the army, according to Zeng Susu, our team is the worst team, now it is the afternoon of the third day, Zeng Susu is getting more and more anxious, and we are getting more and more strict, of course I don't believe it, just like every teacher said, we are the worst he has ever bred.
But our relationship has improved a lot, when we rest, we will also get together to brag X, Zeng Susu said that he played Crossfire very fiercely, what rank, how much headshot rate, I never play this kind of shooting game, so no matter how much he said, I don't understand what the concept is, but judging from Han Chen's disdainful expression, what Zeng Susu said is very credible.
At this time, Niu Coaxing may not be able to listen to it anymore, and said impatiently
"Oh, don't blow it, from last year to now, we have fired a total of two live ammunition, 20 shots and you missed the target twice, what else do you have to do?"
This sentence was tantamount to demolishing the stage, which made Zeng Susu's originally dark face even more iron-blue, and he was silent.
Although Zeng Susu, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and Niu Coax always quarrel with each other, but in our opinion, their relationship is really good, and there are dozens of instructors here this time, but the three of them are inseparable in the real sense.
Without further ado, the military training on the morning of the fourth day was over, and a few of us were walking back to the dormitory, Zhang Kexin elbowed Guo Hongyi next to him and said to us
"Hey, look, what's going on?"
We looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Kexin and found that Niu Coax had taken a girl in camouflage uniform to the boulevard behind the playground.
Seeing this picture, a few of us were extremely excited as if we had discovered a new continent, Su Yong asked
"That girl is familiar, isn't she from our academy?"
I stared intently at the two of them, suppressed the excitement in my heart, and whispered
"Yes, yes, it should be in the English class, it seems to be called Chen Yan."
"You know that, too?" There was a hint of contempt in Guo Hongyi's tone, but I replied nonchalantly
"Beautiful women always need to pay more attention."
Several of us stared at the two of us, discussing in a low voice, with an inexplicable pleasure in our hearts.
Gossip may be human nature, except for Ding Yubin, the five of us coincidentally followed the two of them, wondering if there was something good to be played, such as the domineering instructor falling in love with me, the story that the innocent college student and the instructor had to tell and so on.
Afraid of being discovered by them, a few of us stopped at a long distance, and we couldn't hear what they were talking about, only to see Niu Coaxing holding Chen Yan's hand very affectionately, and said something, which was sure to be confessing.
"Confession, confession."
Chen Yan seemed to be jumped, her face turned red when she brushed it, she hurriedly withdrew her hands, responded with a few words of emotion, turned around and ran away, and Niu Coax stood there with a blank face, at a loss.
Su Yong and I let out an "oops" at the same time, and our tone was full of schadenfreude
"Looks like the confession failed."
"Yes."
Afraid of being discovered by Niu Coaxing, a few of us quickly slipped back to the dormitory, and we were still discussing Niu Coaxing along the way.
During military training in the afternoon. I intentionally or unintentionally looked at the cow to coax, to see what would happen to him after being rejected, to my surprise, he did not show any negative emotions, as if nothing had happened, still very proud, but the attitude towards Zhang Xiaoxiao was much colder, during the break, Zhang Xiaoxiao handed him a cigarette, not only did he not answer, but walked away directly with a cold face, maybe he was still a little uncomfortable.
The seven-day military training was finally over, and we were in the dormitory as if we had just escaped from the sea of suffering
"Oh my God! It's finally over, and it feels like I've taken off my skin! ”
"Tomorrow again, the whole school parade will be pulled down, where are we going to play?"
Just as we were discussing in high spirits, the dormitory suddenly fell into darkness and we fell silent.
"Huh? It's only 6 o'clock, why is the power off? ”
Zhang Kexin, who was closest to the bedroom door, went out to take a look at the situation, and said with a displeased face when he came back
"I see that the lights in the other dormitories are on, and the power in our dorms is off."
We checked it carefully, there were no illegal electrical appliances in the dormitory, there was no possibility of tripping, and then we went to the mailroom to ask only to know that there was no electricity bill in the simple dormitory, just entered the university campus, there are indeed many things that we don't know, it turns out that the electricity bill in the dormitory is to pay by ourselves, but the finance there is only daytime work, which means that the next few hours, we have to spend the next few hours in the dark.
The dark atmosphere is very suitable for telling ghost stories, maybe the room is too quiet, and it is easy for people to think crankily, Zhang Kexin said casually
"Have you ever heard that before our school was built, this was a mass grave?"
Although the six of us have different personalities, we have a common characteristic, that is, we are too timid, Zhang Kexin may just say something unintentionally, but, including himself, the six of us are becoming more and more afraid, and we feel hairy in our hearts, and we feel that this house is simply impossible to stay.
Later, at Su Yong's suggestion, except for Ding Yubin, a few of us decided to go to the Internet café opposite the school to stay overnight, after all, we had just survived seven days of "torture", and we didn't want to sit dry in the dark.
Before leaving, Guan Shuang asked Ding Yubin repeatedly
"Hey, you're really not going with us, are you? What are you doing here alone at night? The parade won't start until 10 o'clock tomorrow, so you don't have to get up early. ”
Ding Yubin repeatedly insisted that he was unwilling to go, and we were not reluctant, so the five of them got dressed and went out with their ID cards.
"This Ding Yubin, why is he a little out of place?"
While we were discussing, we ran into a cow coaxing, and although we didn't really want to pay attention to him, it wasn't good not to say hello.
"Instructor Niu, it's so late, where are you going?"
Niu Coax smiled and greeted us
"I'm going to the warehouse next to the small hall to replace Lao Zeng and Lao Zhang, it's time for me to be on duty."
The small hall was next to the gate of the school, just by the way, so we walked together for a while, Su Yong asked curiously
"Instructor Niu, what's in the warehouse? Why do you still need to be on duty? ”
While chatting, I suddenly heard a message from the direction of the school gate
"Smack! Syllable! "Twice.
"Who's setting off firecrackers so late?"
A few of us collectively looked curiously in the direction of the warehouse.
Niu coaxed and pursed his lips and cursed
"Isn't it sick, setting off firecrackers at night, if this is in the army, I must think who shot it."
Then he answered Su Yong's question with a little pride
"Tomorrow there will be a gun salute before your military parade, and the guns we prepared are all in the warehouse, although the bullets are empty, but the guns are real guns after all, and we must take strict care of them."
Men's favorite three things are beautiful women, luxury cars and guns, I heard that there are guns in the warehouse, several of us proposed to go to see, I don't know if the cow coaxed can not resist us, or born to show off, without too much refusal to agree to take us in, but with us to make an appointment, can only see, can not touch.
A few of us followed Niu Coax to the door of the warehouse, and the moment Niu Coax opened the warehouse door, several of us saw a scene that we could never forget in our lives:
A gun was thrown on the ground, Zeng Susu clutched his thigh in pain, blood flowed, and Zhang Xiaoxiao next to him fell in a pool of blood, motionless, although his back was facing us, but from the current situation, he was dead.
The first time we saw this bloody scene, the first time we saw a real corpse, the five of us were already frightened, and Niu Coax also rushed over helplessly to ask about Zeng Susu's situation
"Lao Zeng, what's going on? What's wrong with this? ”
Zeng Susu endured the pain and coaxed the cow with difficulty
"Don't ask yet, Lao Zhang is dead, go to the dormitory and call someone." Then he noticed us standing at the door, and said to us weakly
"Go to the infirmary and call the doctor to stop the bleeding for me."
Niu Coax nodded hurriedly
"Lao Zeng, you hold on, I'll call someone now."
Then he ran out the door, talking as he passed us
"What are you doing? Not afraid of nightmares, huh? Hurry up and call a doctor! ”
As soon as we heard this, we ran out of the warehouse with the oxen as if we were running for our lives.
When we arrived at the infirmary, we briefly explained the situation, pulled the doctor and ran out, the nurse followed behind with a first-aid kit, and then we heard the sound of "crackling" again, and the five of us were like frightened birds, so frightened that we stopped, Guo Hongyi asked
"What? Someone shot again!? ”
"No, it should really be the sound of firecrackers, the gunfire is not so fast." Guan Shuang explained solemnly.
Zhang Kexin scolded
"Who? Sick at night? What firecrackers to set off. ”
He looked angry, but I knew that his anger was out of inner terror and wanted to vent it in this way, but I was not in a position to laugh at him, because I was too scared to roar.
It took about 5 minutes from the time we left the warehouse to the clinic and back to the warehouse, and at the door of the warehouse, we met Niu Coocaomu and the other instructors he had called, and when we entered the warehouse again, we were once again shocked by the scene in front of us:
Zeng Susu seemed to be in a coma because of excessive bleeding, while Zhang Xiaoxiao's body disappeared out of thin air.
Later, we called the police, and the police found Zhang Xiaoxiao's body in the flowers 500 meters away from the warehouse.
Two soldiers, the shooting case on the college campus, one dead and one injured, if it is not handled properly, it will definitely produce huge public opinion attention, therefore, the school, the army, and the police all attach great importance to this matter, and soon the principal, the dean, and Secretary Lu all rushed here, and the police sent to take charge of this case seems to be a person with a large official position, everyone calls him Officer Hu, although no one wants to have anything to do with the police, but this Officer Hu will play a pivotal role in my life in the next few years.
